Chapter 654: Sudden Change
Fang Jingzhi's narration suddenly made Zhong Liang completely understand that this was an upright conspiracy.
Among the many schemes, the most terrifying thing is not the various conspiracies hidden in the corners, but the conspiracy that is put on the surface and shown to you.
At the beginning, whether it was Su Qi'an or Wu Dingguo, they had doubts about him, but they didn't break it.
Then, deliberately handing over such an important task of escorting grain and grass to him was a test for him.
Zhong Liang knows all this, and even Wu Dingguo's inexplicable reminder later, but anyone who has a little brain knows what to do.
At first, Zhong Liang did everything according to the preservation of himself, and only revealed a little inconsequential news, but as the situation on the battlefield changed, he still went astray after repeated hesitation.
These are not terrible, what is terrible is that his thoughts, including everything he wants to do, are all in Su Qi'an's calculations, and it can be said that no matter which way he goes, they are all under Su Qi'an's control.
As Fang Jingzhi said, he still had a chance to turn back, at least he was not so embarrassed, but after all, he still lived up to Wu Dingguo's expectations.
Zhong Liang, who understood all this, turned pale, looked at Fang Jingzhi in front of him, his eyes flashed, and after a short silence, the palm on the handle of the knife on his waist finally let go, stretched out his hands, and sighed.
"Fang County Order, I lost, I admit it, I'll go back with you."
Looking at this scene, Fang Jingzhi nodded slightly. After a while, in the darkness in the rear, four or five Dongzhou soldiers quickly rushed out, and Zhong Liang was taken down almost smoothly.
Although Zhong Liang is the right governor, when his life is really at stake, he will still choose not to resist because he is afraid of death. Xiushu.com
This is basically the commonality of every ***, don't look at the usual days, all kinds of majestic looks, and even shouting, but once faced with life and death, no one can escape the fear of death.
Even if this kind of restraint only temporarily saves a life, it is at least much better than shooting into a sieve.
Seeing Zhong Liang being taken away, Fang Jingzhi's face was indifferent, he still said the same sentence, he gave him a chance, but he blamed Zhong Liang for not cherishing it, and he came to this point, but he was just to blame, and he couldn't blame anyone.
"Zhong Liang has been taken down, and the next thing will be up to the Metropolitan Governor."
Fang Jingzhi thought secretly, then turned around and shouted at the many soldiers in the darkness.
"Hurry back to Sanming County and go!"
Fang Jingzhi gave an order, and in the darkness, heavy footsteps sounded, and then disappeared away one after another.
At this time, in the city of Sanming County, the original sky-high fires were extinguished in about half an hour.
Compared with the extinguishing of the fire in the city, what is more important is the outside of the city, a vacant lot, full of corpses, most of which are raiders brought by Jiro Sakai.
After all, in terms of numbers, there were at least four or five thousand Dongzhou soldiers who surrounded them, and they occupied high positions, although these would-be robbers dared to fight.
However, under the absolute superiority, the whole army was basically annihilated, and the melee hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was a one-sided trend from the beginning.
In just a quarter of an hour or two, of the eight hundred or so people brought by Jiro Sakai, only forty or fifty remained.
Wu Dingguo stood on a high place, looking at it indifferently, still refusing to surrender, and his face was covered with blood Sakai Jiro.
He waved his hand, and the surrounding Dongzhou soldiers retreated slightly, and in all directions, the archers had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for an order, and they could shoot the remnants of the Japanese into a sieve.
The reason why he didn't know how to use archers at the beginning was not because Wu Dingguo saved arrows, but because he wanted to recover his lost morale.
If you want to improve morale, no matter how much you talk about it, it is not as strong as a real victory at the moment.
Don't look at the melee battle between the two sides just now, there were casualties on their side, but at least it stimulated the blood of the soldiers present, and all the blood spurted out, and their eyes showed ruthlessness, and they had to fight with these widows.
Jiro Sakai held a big knife in his hand, his body trembled, and he looked at the Dongzhou soldiers who surrounded them covered in blood, and there was no fear on his face, but he couldn't help laughing.
「
Hahaha, today we are all wiped out here, but in exchange for your granary to be destroyed, there is no loss."
"I really should say that you are stupid and stupid, the last time 100,000 stones of grain and grass were burned, how long has it been, why don't you learn a lesson, plus this time, hum, can you still launch a large-scale attack now?"
"Wu Dingguo, you look, although we died here today, there will be people who remember us, for the sake of years of fighting, I will send you a word, hurry up and evacuate quickly with these Dongzhou soldiers, and in the future, when my Fusang army arrives, you people, how many you are, will become the ghosts of my Fusang warriors."
Sakai Jiro's rampant laughter led the remaining forty or fifty people, their faces were excited, they were holding big knives, and they looked at the Dongzhou soldiers in front of them, all with a lot of ridicule.
The sound of mocking laughter resounded in the night sky, but Wu Dingguo was very calm and shook his head.
"You're right, the destruction of the granary this time is a big blow to Dongzhou, and we can't afford to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time, but I don't know if you have ever thought that since the governor of Pontus expected you to sneak attack and deliberately ambushed here, then the granary you burned will not be a bureau deliberately set up by the governor of Pontus."
Wu Dingguo's voice was very soft, but all of a sudden Jiro Sakai, who was laughing arrogantly, was stunned, and he looked at Wu Dingguo with a dead gaze.
The stunned face showed a look of disdain, and said coldly, "I thought that the Governor of Dongzhou was quite a little generous, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, lying to your face, isn't it just to stabilize the army's heart, but unfortunately, you can deceive others, can you deceive yourself!"
In Sakai Jiro's view, Wu Dingguo is just to appease people's hearts, after all, such a big thing, I really have to admit it, even the granary was destroyed, with the temper of the Great Liang Court, it is not only as simple as dismissal, but direct execution is light.
After all, he was the governor of one side, but he didn't expect to say such a clumsy nonsense, which made Sakai Jiro even more contemptuous of Wu Dingguo.
Sakai Jiro's ridicule, Wu Dingguo's face did not have any emotional fluctuations, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at him.
He didn't say anything, his eyes signaled, and after a few moments, a soldier from the city ran out, still holding a cloth bag in his hand.
The surface of this cloth bag obviously has traces of being burned, and if you look closely, there is a word "grain" written in ink on it.
The soldiers who appeared didn't say a word, and directly threw the grain bag in his hand in front of Sakai Jiro.
The grain bag was not sealed, and the contents of the grain bag were instantly spilled on the ground, and what appeared was not burned grain, but small stones. Ь.
The surface of these stones is pitch black, and there is a slight temperature when the palm touches.
Wu Dingguo's voice sounded coldly, "See, this is the grain and grass that you carefully raided and wanted to burn, you know all of this."
Sakai Jiro's face was solemn, looking at the small stones scattered all over the ground, with a thick disbelief in his eyes, but he didn't speak, lowered his head, and didn't know how long it took.
Sakai Jiro raised his head violently, looked at Wu Dingguo and shouted coldly, "Hmph, surnamed Wu, you don't use these things to fool me, although Ben Boss is not a cool person, but it hasn't reached the point of being stupid, food and stones, don't Ben Boss still know it?"
"You cool people, what else can you do but deceive and cover up your incompetence? No matter how much you quibble, you can't change the fact that your granary was burned."
"Ben Dangjia will be down there, watching when your Dongzhou is flattened by my Fusang army! Hopefully you'll be so calm then."
Jiro Sakai's voice was a little crazy, for anyone, if he knew that the sneak attack he had carefully arranged was in someone else's plan, no one could remain calm.
Sakai Jiro became more and more crazy, which made Wu Dingguo more and more calm, and at this time, a henchman next to him came to him as if he had received some news, and whispered something in his ear.
Wu Dingguo nodded slightly, looked at Sakai Jiro and said, "Your arrangement, isn't there a so-called internal response, to provide you with a specific granary location!"
"Now, Pontus will let you die and understand, just now, the inner response you arranged has been made by Pontus
The governor has been captured, and he is just in time to bring him up to meet you."
The words fell, and it didn't take long for Zhong Liang's figure to be slowly escorted up by the soldiers.
The two looked at each other, and they were both stunned for a moment, and neither of them said anything.
If what Wu Dingguo said before made Sakai Jiro feel that he was making excuses for his incompetence and deliberately stabilizing the morale of the army, then Zhong Liang's appearance could be regarded as completely breaking his last illusion.
Wu Dingguo saw the silence of the two, he waved his hand, motioned to take Zhong Liang down, and said coldly to Sakai Jiro.
"Let me tell you the truth, not only your sneak attack tonight, but also the dispatch of troops from Zhoushan Island, every step you take is within the plan of the Inspector."
"Your so-called shrewd design, in the eyes of the Inspector, is similar to a child's house, Sakai Jiro resigned himself to his fate, you want to fight with the Inspector, you are still too tender."
"Tonight is your time of death!"
After Wu Dingguo said this, he stopped talking, and the archer beside him quickly drew his bow and aimed, preparing to tie Sakai Jiro and other Japanese robbers.
But at this moment, Jiro Sakai, whose tone was a little crazy, shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."
Wu Dingguo was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, that is, the hesitation of this moment, and then Sakai Jiro took out something from his arms and pulled it towards the sky above his head.
Sou!
A sharp sound resounded in the night sky, and then, in the sky above everyone's heads, a brilliant firework bloomed, even if this firework was within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, as long as you stood on a high place, you could see it clearly. Ь.
The release of the fireworks instantly made Wu Dingguo realize that something was wrong, and he scolded coldly, "Quickly take down Jiro Sakai."
In fact, there was no need for Wu Dingguo to speak, at the moment of the explosion of the fireworks, in the darkness around him, a team of soldiers rushed directly with big knives in their hands.
