Six hundred and sixty-four: Surrender
Wang Jingangu looked at the soldiers who were desperately rushing to kill for him, and his heart ached like a knife, but the order was directly issued by Tian Jiucheng, and Wang Jingangu couldn't change anything, so he could only grit his teeth and order the soldiers to continue to rush and kill without retreating!
Under the desperate rush of these White Lotus Sect members, even the regular Qin army couldn't support it, and the generals of the Qin army on the opposite side saw that these people were simply dead! I'm afraid they'll all have to be here!
It would be worthless to die with these people! Therefore, although the Qin army also killed many White Lotus Sect members at this time, the generals of the Qin army still chose to avoid the edge for the time being!
Qin Jun actually felt a little furious in his heart when he saw the stunned temperament of these people, so when he got the signal to withdraw from the army, all the soldiers were eager to leave the battlefield quickly!
Therefore, although the officers have tried their best to maintain stability, the two sides have a short handover between each other, and it is impossible to leave the battlefield completely and quickly with such a rapid separation!
Such a rapid retreat would easily be stuck by the White Lotus Sect, so although the command was appropriate, the losses of the Qin army were still not small!
But Wang Jingangnu knew in his heart that his losses were much greater than those of the Qin army! Wang Jingangnu was about to avoid the Qin army and go straight to Hanzhong Mansion, when the rear army came to Tian Jiucheng's order again............
"Report! Missionary Lord commands! All the army is attacking! Don't let them go! ”
Wang Jingangnu's face is almost green! Angry yelled: "Impossible! How could the sect leader give such an order! I don't believe it! I'm going to see the Master in person! ”
The cultist who gave the order said loudly: "The sect leader has an order, you must first carry out the sect master's order!" Even if you're going to see the Master, you have to do what the Master commands first! ”
Wang Jingangnu's face was suddenly very ugly when he heard this, but after being silent for a long time, he still gave an order, but at the same time, he hurriedly led people to gallop away on horseback!
Tian Jiucheng was in the Chinese army at this time, looking at the Qin army that was defeated "easily" in front, and couldn't help but laugh with smugness and excitement: "The Yan army is nothing more than that!" Since this seat has been out of the county, it has entered Luoyang in the west, attacked Nanzheng in the south, and fought with the Yan army several times, but there is no enemy! The Pseudo-Yan Imperial Court is nothing more than that, this is the near-sightedness of the Pseudo-Yan Mandate! My White Lotus will be in full bloom! ”
Hearing this, the White Lotus Sect members also hurriedly echoed, although in fact, some people had already seen that they had encountered the Shu army that had arrived first, but now they had almost all encountered the local Qin army, and there were completely two battle situations on both sides!
They don't know that the Shu army has not fought for many years now, and it is located in the hinterland of the interior, so it has almost no combat power, originally Ren Jingli watched, at least the Shu army in Chengdu is still relatively strong, but after losing Ren Jingli, it is also rapidly corrupted, and the current Shu army is a bunch of rotten sweet potato stinky bird eggs, almost a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!
Maybe Chengdu Wei still has the strength to fight, but Chengdu Wei is too far away from here, and Chengdu Wei's soldiers have no way to arrive in a short time!
Therefore, now the White Lotus Sect members are generally those straw bales in the Shu army, and this is the first time they have encountered the Qin army! The battle is almost visible to everyone now............
However, these people are a very small number of sober people, and most people still do not have a clear understanding of their strength and current situation.
Just when everyone was touting each other and saying hello, hello, hello, everyone, Wang Jingangnu rode over on a horse, and as soon as he got off the horse, he knelt down on one knee in front of Tian Jiucheng and said, "Sect Master! Why do you want to hunt down the Yan army? Please also ask the master to take back the fate! ”
Tian Jiucheng's face fell, and the people of the White Lotus Sect were also silent and looked at each other, and Wang Jingangnu said with a straight face: "Sect Master, poor Kou Mo chase!" Although the Yan army retreated urgently, the Yan army's retreat was tight and urgent, but it was not panicked, indicating that the Yan army did not flee in the wilderness, but retreated closely! At this time, it is not only possible to be counterattacked by the Yan army, but it is even possible to be ambushed by the Yan army! Master, please ............ as well."
"Shut up!"
Wang Jingangu raised his head and looked at Tian Jiucheng in shock, Tian Jiucheng looked at Wang Jingangu and said angrily: "This matter is so decided!" You go back to command right now! If you don't want to! I have someone to replace you! Are you going or not? ”
The eyes of the White Lotus Sect all lit up when they heard this, and Wang Jingangnu was face turned pale suddenly, Tian Jiucheng had actually been dissatisfied with Wang Jingangu for a long time, and Wang Jingangnu himself actually knew in his heart that he had probably made him feel bored by his recent repeated refutation of Tian Jiucheng's orders............
No! It's not that his own advice makes him feel bored, but that the current Tian Jiucheng is no longer the Tian Jiucheng at that time, Tian Jiucheng at that time can listen to anyone's advice, even if he offends him, he will listen patiently!
And now? He has changed, he has become self-serving, he has become arrogant, he really thinks that he is an all-powerful god!
During this period of time, they have been a little too smooth, so that he has the illusion that Da Yan is very weak, and he is extremely powerful! Wang Jingangnu knew in his heart that they were now compared with Dayan, but they were just a bunch of small shrimp!
Dayan can crush them to death if he stretches out a finger at will!
Even if Dayan hasn't come back to his senses yet, it's only because Dayan is too big, and their matter is too small, not enough to attract the attention of Dayan's high-level people, and it wasn't until now that they began to expand their power outward, and Dayan's high-level people reacted!
According to the ideas of Wang Jingangnu and others, at this time, what they should do should be to retreat to Luoyang, and slowly plot Hanzhong by occupying the situation of forming a triangle in Zhengchu County, south of Luoyang!
In this way, step by step, and slowly accumulate your own power, you can compete with Dayan for a long time! But now, when Luoyang and Chuxian haven't digested it well, they are going to attack Hanzhong again!
Now Dayan obviously wants to increase troops to Sichuan and Shaanxi to quell the rebellion, at this time, instead of trying to reduce his limelight and low-key to accumulate strength, he wants to expand outward, so something will happen!
It's not that Wang Jingangnu didn't persuade Tian Jiucheng like this, but now Tian Jiucheng is no longer in the mood to listen to other people's suggestions!
He is bent on conquering Hanzhong, Chang'an, and the whole world! Now he has been fascinated by this "close and late" country!
The fierce men in the world, what they come and do, are just four words to strive to be the emperor! Now he is a civilian, how many lifetimes can he get to where he is today! Now that it's time like this, who isn't full of fighting the world? How can you still have the mind to "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king"?
So during this time, Tian Jiucheng was actually a little dissatisfied with Wang Jingangnu and the others, Wang Jingangu knew, and some other high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect also knew!
So at this time, when they heard that Tian Jiucheng was going to depose Wang Jingangnu, they were all excited! But Tian Jiucheng immediately said to Wang Jingangnu: "You are one of my most powerful brothers, from the county to the present, we can get to this day, most of them rely on you to command properly, I know, you are my most effective striker, but you don't even listen to my words now?" ”
There was both beating and co-opting in his words, and after some words, Wang Jingangnu didn't want to agree and had to agree!
Although Tian Jiucheng was fascinated by the desire for power, he still has a bit of a unique vision, he is still sober in employing people, and the most capable of fighting among them is Wang Jingangnu, if he really deposes Wang Jingangnu, he will only rely on the gangs under him who will only deceive foolish women and fools and pretend to be gods, and it is a dream to succeed!
But if there was a second choice, Tian Jiucheng would have replaced Wang Jingangnu a long time ago! Isn't there really no way, so I have no choice but to pinch my nose and admit it, as long as Wang Jingang is obedient, I will use him first!
Wang Jingangnu himself actually thought of it, so he could only sigh helplessly, nodded and then got up and pointed to the front in frustration.
And Tian Jiucheng looked at Wang Jingangnu's back and snorted coldly, and then led the Chinese army to chase Wang Jingangnu's forward army and walked slowly.
At this time, the people below pushed and shoved a person up, Tian Jiucheng rode on a horse and looked at this person and was stunned: "Who is this, what are you pushing him over?" ”
One of those people stood up excitedly and said, "Muslim Master! This man is a small discovery! The people next to him were immediately anxious when they heard this, and they all rushed to say: "Obviously I found it first!" "I was the first to catch him!"
Tian Jiucheng was annoyed by the noise, and He Miaoshun on the side shouted when he saw this: "What are you arguing about!" Answer first! Who is this man! What did you do with him? ”
Those people suddenly quieted down, and then cautiously said to Tian Jiucheng: "We all follow the sect leader from Luoyang County, this person we know, it is our Zhixian of Luoyang!" ”
Tian Jiucheng was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the county order of Luoyang with interest, this person stood there with a pale face, pursed his mouth tightly, looking very flustered, but still pretending to be calm.
Seeing this, Tian Jiucheng couldn't help but say with amusement: "You are the commander of Luoyang County?" Luoyang County Ling pursed his lips tightly, turned his head slightly, and He Miaoshun said angrily when he saw this: "What do you ask!" Deaf? ”
The order of Luoyang County jumped, but he still insisted and said: "Ben, this official is the order of Luoyang County, since you have been caught, this official will no longer hide it............"
Tian Jiucheng smiled sarcastically: "Since it is the order of Luoyang County, how can it appear in Hanzhong Mansion?" When the commander of Luoyang County heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he didn't say a word.
Of course they ran away............ The order of Luoyang County does not have the integrity of Fang Yishan, but he is also a bit arrogant of literati, he knows in his heart that Luoyang County can't stop the White Lotus Sect at all, so when the White Lotus Sect was busy burning, killing and looting, the Luoyang County Commander fled in disguise and fled with the refugees in the direction of Hanzhong!
Who knew that before he arrived at Hanzhong Mansion, he was recognized by the people recruited by the White Lotus Sect in Luoyang on the road, which led to the current scene............
Tian Jiucheng was not ready to kill him, if he saw one and killed one next, then what kind of rebellion? In the end, this world still needs literati to govern, so he knows that it is impossible to kill all the literati, kill them all, and when the time comes, will this world be governed by these people from the White Lotus Sect?
Besides, if you attack other counties later, people will kill you as soon as they hear that you catch the official, so don't you work hard? Anyway, desperately fighting is death, surrendering is also death, so it's better to die in battle, so you can still fall into the name of a loyal minister!
Tian Jiucheng can understand this truth, so he said to the county order of Luoyang: "I won't kill you, but I won't let you go, do you want to go back to Luoyang to continue to be your county commander?" ”
Luoyang County Ling's face couldn't help but turn whiter when he heard this, he just didn't want to die and didn't want to be a second minister, so he chose to escape! Who knew that he would still be a second minister?
Therefore, the county commander of Luoyang County still lowered his head hesitantly, and He Miaoshun said angrily when he saw this: "You birdman, my brother is so good to talk to you, why don't you make a sound?" If you don't speak, I'll cut you with a knife! ”
Luoyang County's face turned pale, although Tian Jiucheng did not have the refreshing feeling of the hero Haojie's worship, but he still endured his temperament: "Miaoshun needless to say, I'll give you a period of time to think about it, and when we lay down Hanzhong Mansion, he should think clearly!" ”
Regardless of the struggling movements of the Luoyang County Commander, he waved his hand and asked someone to take him down to take care of him, and then looked into the distance, where the White Lotus Army was pursuing the Qin Army, but it was obvious that even with spiritual blessings, it was still a little difficult for the mud-legged people who couldn't eat enough to eat to hunt down the well-trained army............
Therefore, the kind of situation that Wang Jingangnu was worried about being beaten back, or even deliberately set up an ambush, did not appear at all, because they didn't even eat Qin Jun's fart!
Although Wang Jingangnu breathed a sigh of relief, he did not relax for long, because soon the White Lotus Army was killed under the Hanzhong Mansion, and the city gate of the Hanzhong Mansion was closed.
After seeing that it was the White Lotus Army, Hanzhong Mansion hurriedly closed the city gate, Wang Jingangnu looked at the tall city wall of Hanzhong Mansion, and the incomparably strong city wall made of wall bricks, Wang Jingangnu couldn't help frowning slightly.
They came out in a hurry this time, but they didn't carry large siege equipment such as ladders, if they set up camp on the spot and build it slowly, it would take too long, and they were all a group of peasants, where did they get any siege experience?
Even King Jingangnu actually has no knowledge reserve for siege! Because they have been fighting a tailwind battle before, relying on the tactics of the other side to quickly rush into the city before they have time to react, and now that they are ready, it will naturally be very difficult!
Wang Jingangu couldn't help but retreat again, and at this time, Tian Jiucheng of the Chinese army sent someone to urge Wang Jingangnu again, asking him why he didn't attack the city yet.
Wang Jingangnu was about to return in desperation, but saw that a white flag was erected at the head of the city!
Wang Jingangnu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and then a few scouts he sent came back to report: "Report! In front, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture, please come forward and speak! ”
Wang Jingangnu secretly said in his heart, could it be that the prefect of Hanzhong should take the initiative to surrender? But Wang Jingangnu felt that it was impossible in his heart, he was also the prefect of a mansion and the parents of the people of a mansion, where was the reason to surrender first without a fight?
There will be no fraud............
Wang Jingangnu suppressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, thinking that no matter what, he had to see it first, so he drove forward, he kept a few eyes, and took some people forward: "Who is the prefect of Hanzhong?" See what I'm going to do? ”
An official wearing an official robe and a black veil raised his head tremblingly from behind the female wall, and smiled at the following: "This ............ Checkmate! Xiaguan is the prefect of Hanzhong! ”
Wang Jingangnu laughed, he was a little-known martial artist, and now he is also a general? couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter with you?" What do you want me to do? When you and I go to war, just let each other go to war, and tell me to come forward and speak, what are you doing? ”
Hearing this, the prefect of Hanzhong hurriedly said: "No war!" No war! The prefect of Hanzhong smiled and said, "Where can this small city of Xiaguan stop the power of your army?" ”
Wang Jingangnu not only scratched his head when he heard the meaning of the prefect of Hanzhong, but also raised his head to look at the prefect of Hanzhong and said, "Then what do you mean?" What is the reason for not fighting, retreating and not retreating? ”
The prefect of Hanzhong then hurriedly waved the small white flag in his hand and said, "Retreat!" No, I'm dropping! It's down! I give up! ”
Wang Jingangnu was even more puzzled when he heard this, and then looked behind him, a little confused: "That............ Then open the door. ”
The prefect of Hanzhong hurriedly smiled and nodded yes, and then asked someone to hurriedly open the city gate, Wang Jingangnu didn't expect that it was really so simple to take Hanzhong Mansion without a single soldier!
I saw the prefect of Hanzhong trotting over with his official robe, and then stepped forward and smiled: "This general! Xiaguan dedicates the city to Hanzhong City! I also hope that the general will be a subordinate in front of the leader of your army, uh, a few kind words! A few kind words! ”
Saying that, bowing and smiling, Wang Jingangnu looked at Hanzhong City, which was close at his fingertips, and hesitated again: "I said this lord, you won't give us anything to ambush in the city?" ”
The prefect of Hanzhong hurriedly patted his chest and said, "It's impossible!" If the general can't believe it, the subordinate is willing to enter the city in charge! ”
Wang Jingangnu looked at the prefect of Hanzhong, and then looked at the city of Hanzhong in front of him, still very hesitant, and the prefect of Hanzhong hurriedly said when he saw this: "General! I let you into the city without permission, and now the civil and military officials in the city don't know about it, if you don't hurry into the city, when the people react, we will all be locked out!" ”
Wang Jingangnu looked at the prefect of Hanzhong carefully when he heard this, and felt that his words were sincere, but it didn't seem like he was lying, not to mention that this was an opportunity, if he missed it, he didn't know how much he would pay!
Therefore, Wang Jingangu did not wave his hand for a long time: "Enter the city!" ”
He has so many soldiers, I don't believe how many elite soldiers and good generals he can ambush in Hanzhong!
