Chapter 152: Different Hearts (Ask for Subscription!) )
As soon as he saw that his companion was about to be beheaded by Li Tong because he said a few words of persuasion to surrender, several captains next to him couldn't calm down, and one of them pleaded with Li Tong: "The general can't, Captain Park has followed the left and right since the general started the army, and he has no merit and hard work for many years, he is just quick to speak, and please spare his life for the sake of him following the general for many years, let him make meritorious service!" ”
Several other people also bowed down one after another: "The general is angry, spare Captain Park!" ”
When Li Tong saw it, he became more and more angry, these people actually interceded collectively and disobeyed his orders, but it was impossible for him to kill all these captains, otherwise the sergeants would have no one to help him take over.
After weighing it, he quickly made a decision: "Okay, for the sake of these brothers, I will spare you for the time being, and allow you to make meritorious contributions to your crimes, if you shake the hearts of the army with nonsense, you will not be spared!" ”
At the urging of the other captains, Captain Park reluctantly thanked Li Tong for his grace of not killing, saying that he would fight bravely to kill the enemy and never let the Flame Army enter the city.
The Flame Army set up camp ten miles away, and Qin Feng sent some articulate soldiers to ride horses under the city walls to carry out strategies of divide, division, and luring the enemy.
"Listen to the soldiers of the Cao Army in the city, my general said, it is still too late to abandon the city and leave at this time, as long as you fly a small white flag when you leave the city, the soldiers of my Flame Army will never stop and cause harm!"
"If General Li Tong leads his army away within one day, the officers and men of our Flame Army will not pursue; In a day's time, if General Lee does not leave, he will wait for my mortal enemy! Regardless of men, women, or children in the city, those who kill Li Tong will be rewarded with 100,000 gold and 100,000 yuan, and 10,000 acres of fertile land, 10 beauties, and 30 servants in Nanyang County! This one is valid until the city is broken! ”
Li Tong on the city tower was so angry that he was smoking, and he scolded this Qin Feng in his heart for being so shameless that he used this kind of trick!
A thought arose in his mind, would any of these soldiers on the city wall kill me for these promises at this time?
With this thought, Li Tong was suddenly taken aback, and always felt that there seemed to be eyes staring at the back of his neck behind him, which made him feel that his neck was cold.
In the afternoon, not long after the Flame Army finished building the camp, Xu Shu came with 5,000 men and horses, he received the military order sent by Qin Feng and brought troops to reinforce, who knew that the Cao army was defeated and retreated too quickly.
"I've seen the lord, the reinforcements of my subordinates are late, please surrender the lord!" Xu Shu bowed when he saw Qin Feng dismounting.
Qin Feng hurriedly pulled Xu Shu up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuanzhi came at the right time, Cao Cao's main force was caught up by me and killed, and it has been defeated by me, there should still be a large number of Cao army routs and stragglers in my Nanyang County, I am trying to send troops to collect these Cao army routs, there is no extra force, Mr. Yuan Zhi is here, these five thousand men and horses just come in handy!" ”
Qin Feng immediately divided the 5,000 men and horses into several squads and sent them out one by one, first setting up checkpoints at various traffic passes leading to Yuzhou, and these sent out Flame Army squads scattered to capture the scattered stragglers.
When Qin Feng scattered the men and horses, Xu Shu saw that he had set up a camp here, and guessed that he was going to attack Yecheng.
"Is the lord planning to take Ye Cheng?"
Qin Feng sighed: "It's not okay not to take Yecheng, the geographical location of Yecheng is very important to my Nanyang, if our army controls Yecheng, if the Cao army wants to attack, it must take a long detour, otherwise it can only forcibly attack Yecheng; Moreover, Cao Cao hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance in Yecheng, if our army seized this batch of grain, grass and ordnance, it would solve the problem of lack of grain and yellow and lack of food for the army! ”
Xu Shu was depressed, "My subordinates said that there are 3,000 elite soldiers in the city, and the defender is Li Tong, although Li Tong is not a famous general, but he is quite brave and cautious by nature, if he wants to capture Yecheng, I am afraid that the loss of our army will not be small!" ”
Qin Feng nodded, "Not bad, but as long as you take Ye Cheng, it's worth paying some price!" ”
At this time, the inside of Yecheng City looked calm on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent.
Li Tong is a bold man, but also a very cautious person, he is still worried that some people under his command will not be able to withstand the provocation, division and temptation of the Flame Army, after all, he still knows his gang very well, these people were a group of thieves in the first place.
Therefore, he sent a few henchmen to secretly spy on the generals who might have different intentions.
And how can this situation be hidden from those sergeants and generals who have ideas? At this moment, in a house in the city, the three lieutenants gathered together to drink.
Captain Park poured a sip of wine, and said with a sip of wine: "In vain, I swore allegiance to him, but he was about to behead me because of a few words, if it weren't for the intercession of several brothers, I would have fallen to the ground at this time!" ”
A lieutenant persuaded: "Forget it, when you said that, it was indeed a little shocking to the morale of the army, and the general was forced to be helpless!" ”
Captain Park said, "Brother, why did I wait for the incident in the first place? It's not because I can't live anymore, in order to eat, in order to be able to have a little interest, you and I picked up a knife and gun and bowed to him, and now at this time, it is clear that it is a dead end, brothers tell me, why do we stick here? Just because Cao Cao trusts him Li Tong, he is going to drag us here to follow him and fight the Flame Army to the death? When did he kick the brothers think? ”
The other two lieutenants were also a little shaken in their hearts, at present, the city has sufficient supplies and complete armaments, but this is a lonely city, and the people in the city are not their own people, is this city defended or not?
At this moment there was a knock on the door, and all three of them were startled, and one of them immediately asked, "Who?" ”
The voice of a soldier under Captain Park came from outside the door: "Captain, the villain found that the general's personal soldiers were wandering around, sneaky appearance, didn't they come to monitor?" ”
The faces of the three people in the room changed, and Captain Park slapped the table, "Brother He, Brother Mo, did you hear it?" General Li no longer trusts us, and in order to eliminate the hidden danger in the city, he may order us to be executed! ”
The other two were taken aback, and Captain He was uneasy, "No, how can I say that I have been following the general for more than ten years, and the general will not talk about brotherhood, right?" ”
"Brotherhood? Hmph, Brother He, you are too naïve, he wants to kill me on the city tower, do you think half of the brotherhood? ”
At that time, when Captain Park saw that Li Tong ordered to kill him, he already had antipathy in his heart, and after being saved by several brothers, he thought about how to go out of the city, but he didn't dare alone, his strength was too thin, and if he didn't want to die here, he could only win over the two captains who usually had the best relationship with him to come over and do it together.
Seeing that the expressions on the faces of the two were uncertain, Captain Park knew that the two had been shaken, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Brother He, Brother Mo, stationing here is definitely a dead end, why don't I wait······"
Captain Mo's face changed completely when he heard this, "Brother Park, how could you have such an idea?" Could it be that it is really the opposite? ”
