Chapter 558: The Sincerity of Surrender
Xiangfan eastern town, Wanping County east Fan Shui, this from the origin of Yu County all the way to the north of the river finally into the Tianhe, in early July, after a heavy rain, officially announced that the river has entered the flood season, originally only more than 20 meters of the river, suddenly doubled, the water surface turbulent and difficult to travel.
This rain is not good news for the third division of the Python Legion on the side of Yujun, the situation in Poyang Mansion, which was originally erosive, was broken by Xiangyang City, Situ Nalan's bow and made waves again, the momentum was huge, and the momentum of the Xiangyang rebels seemed to be beaten back to their original appearance in one day, from a dragon that turned over the river and waves into a four-legged worm.
Although on the other side of the river, there are no less than 30,000 anti-king troops, but at this moment, it is like a fragrant bait, and I can't wait to go up and take a bite, but a heavy rain has blocked the Fanshui River, and it has become very difficult to cross the river.
These 30,000 anti-king troops, the commander is the deputy general of the White Ape Zhichong Mansion Shaobai, who is good at commanding the army, although there are only less than 100 demon guards and 2,000 henchmen, but relying on the rigorous organization, it makes the imperial soldiers and horses on the other side sigh at the river, even if they want to build a pontoon bridge, it is impossible.
The anti-king army camp, a partial camp tent of the logistics camp, in this small camp tent, is a group of amazing people.
It's amazing, but in fact, there's nothing to show off, but it just has some influence in this anti-royal army camp.
A big black man with a scruffy beard, a somewhat dark face, and a little black whirlwind Li Kui drank all the spirits in the bamboo tube in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a big grin: " What else is there to consider, seeing that the anti-king of Xiangyang is hanging, Xiangyang City is lost, and it continues to be consumed, waiting for the Chuzhou army to come up, everyone will be arrested as a thief, conspiring to rebel, intending to rebel, that is a big crime of the Jiu clan, I am old black, I don't understand the truth, I was pulled to be a soldier at the beginning, but also to try to live, now it's not anyway, when will it wait"
"How can it be so simple" Compared with the black man, the middle-aged man who spoke was three points elegant: "The empire really wants to be liquidated, it doesn't matter if you are sincere in rebellion, in this situation, our heads are all military merits, surrender, if you don't do it, you will lose your head directly If that's really the case, we just stretch out our heads and cut them off." ”
"Or, let's take people to the nearby mountains to hide, it's really not good, so we disperse, pretending to be refugees, as long as we keep our mouths tight, who knows that we have been a rebel" Although the black man said that he was five big and three thick, his head was quite good, and he had an idea in a blink of an eye.
"Go to the mountains, that's called falling grass, we can't wash it in the first place, and we go to be grass cobs, it's even more self-defeating, sooner or later we will be exterminated, as for pretending to be refugees, one or two people are easy to say, more than a dozen, dozens of people are fine, but let's always think about it for our brothers, and if we really want to come out with one or two informants to change the way out, it's all over."
"Why are you white-faced scholar doing it with me everywhere, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, then you tell me what to do, if you don't have an idea today, don't blame me for my old black fists"
"Okay, Liu Heizi, put your fists away, the general here called over today, just to discuss a way, we all know the current situation, the other side of the river is the Python Army, the surrounding area of Xiangyang, Orange Yang County has been captured by the Chuzhou army, we are north of the Tianhe, there is no boat to cross at all, even if it passes, there is no way out, the fight over there is more fierce than ours"
"To the south, I heard that the three divisions of Chuzhou on the south side of Jiaocheng took turns to fight, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold it for a few days, we are now besieging the city on all sides, and the way out?" There is still one person sitting in the first position of the two, but it is an old man in his fifties, this old man has served as a soldier in the three major legions, and has been promoted to the position of deputy battalion lieutenant, which can be said to be the limit of the promotion of ordinary soldiers, although he is over fifty years old, but the old man's body is no worse than that of a young man in his twenties.
"Old Qian, what do you say, let's do it" The old man said, this old man obviously has a lot of prestige in the anti-king army, and the big black man is also smart, knowing that he has no good way, so he simply handed over the decision to others.
"Old Qian, do you have any good ideas, let's hear it, we people also have brute force, this thing makes us think, we really can't think of anything" A farmer who looked honest said.
"Yes, Qian Lao, tell me, as long as it is almost the same, we guarantee that the forty in Zhangcun will come according to what you say."
The others also nodded, and after a while, the old soldier Qian spoke, saying: "Since everyone thinks so highly of my old man, I will say it, this anti-army can't stay, we have only one way out, that is, we are united and gather strength, we also have twenty-five or six thousand people, as long as we clench into a fist, it is not so easy to beat our ideas."
"Yes, there are more than 20,000 of us, even if the other party really wants to take our heads, we have to weigh it."
"That's the reason, the python army on the other side of the river is now eager to make a contribution to our heads, so we can't go to the other side, those soldiers and horses in the south are also a virtue, and the rest is this Ping'an Hou who came to recruit us, but I don't know much about this Ping'an Hou, I only know that the other party is only in his early twenties, and he became a Hou, and there is a country grandfather behind him as a backer"
"If the other party really intends to fulfill what he said, it is a good way out, but this person ......" The old man did not continue, twenty years old, in the eyes of the old man, he was a milky hairy boy, who put the lives of more than 20,000 people on the other party, and he felt that he did not fall behind.
Most of the people here are ordinary people, or large family nurses, domestic servants, and have limited knowledge, but they have their own way of thinking, that is, entrusting their lives to a twenty-year-old boy, which is unreliable, otherwise they don't have to worry about it.
"Qian Lao, I don't like to hear it, we seem to be on the neck of the knife holder now, stretch out the head and slash the head, how can we think about it more, what can we do, if you can't believe him, then make a condition, he can do it, let's drop him, can't do it, let's fight hard, when the grass is the grass Kou, then the water bandits in the Poyang Sea are less in a year" The black man said bluntly.
The old man surnamed Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, we think too much, it's a big deal to escape a dead word, we are betting on this, why bother looking ahead, since he wants us to lower him, then call them conditions, promise, just drop, don't agree, it's a big deal, what do you say?"
"But what conditions can be prescribed to show that he is worthy of our trust?"
"It's simple, doesn't he want to recruit us, then let him come here, let's talk face to face, he has the courage to come, we haven't dared to believe him yet"
"Okay, that's it," everyone present nodded.
"Then let's go back, mobilize everyone for me, I really have to move, but don't drop the chain, and pay attention to this matter, don't be discovered by those guys above, you know?"
"Don't worry, it's a terrible thing, no one dares to make a mess"
"Then disperse, I'll call everyone when I get back"
Xiangyang City, Leng Zhuo sent Chen Nan away, exhaled a cool breath, looked at the sky, the round of crescent moon, but remembered the total just now, if he can really achieve the expected goal, Leng Zhuo will be able to control a considerable amount of military power, all combined, quite controlled two divisions, of course, these two divisions are not local self-raised rebel armies, but the regular three major army formations, one brigade is enough to have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and ten brigades are 50,000.
And Leng Zhuo also wants to take down the Poyang Sea Army, and directly use Yue Fei's water army, anyway, now the water army in Chuzhou is either rebelling or annihilated, and even the water generals can't find a few, so this difficulty should not be very great.
In the case of his logistics transfer envoy, he borrowed the baggage battalion of the logistics system to indirectly train the soldiers and horses and did not fall behind, so calculated, at least 100,000 soldiers and horses came out of thin air, and the marquis will also be a prince with heavy troops in the future.
"Young Master" Zhuge Liang came behind Leng Zhuo like a gust of wind, pulling Leng Zhuo back from his beautiful fantasy.
"Here comes the strategist"
"Looking at the young master's face, the negotiation went well," Zhuge Liang asked.
"It's smooth, but it's going to be smooth, but it's not clear how much real power you can get in the end, the key is the Huang family" Leng Zhuo said, the Huang family doesn't look at the outdated marquis's house, and Situ Tuo, who can't die, is favored, but he can operate in Chuzhou for seventy or eighty years, and let Chen Nan, the emperor's favorite minister, restrict, which shows the climate of the Huang family in Chuzhou.
Even if the Huang family is attacked in the Vermilion Bird City this time, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the Huang family at once, at some levels, the Huang family is not comparable to the Chen family and the newly rising Leng family, and this time in the three major legions, it is equivalent to digging the roots of the Huang family, so it will definitely be fiercely counterattacked by the other party.
"Gains and losses, gains and losses, if the young master wants to get something, he can only exchange some things at the moment, the Huang family and the Leng family are not old enemies, in the final analysis, it is just an entanglement of interests, if the young master is willing, it is not impossible to get the concessions of the Huang family in this matter"
"Compromise with the Huang family?" Leng Zhuo was stunned for a moment, to be honest, Leng Zhuo hadn't thought about this yet, because in his consciousness, the Huang family was the enemy, but after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Leng Zhuo suddenly remembered a wise saying, there is no eternal enemy in the world, only eternal interests.
Thinking about it now, it seems that with the Huang family, the two families do not have a grudge to live or die, although there is some friction, but they should not fight for life and death, but they are a little obsessed with it.
Leng Zhuo thought about it, exhaled and said: "Enlightened by Junshi Xie, maybe it's time to reconcile with the Huang family, by the way, Junshi is coming here at this moment, is there something wrong?"
"Well, General Wu, who went to Wanping to persuade him to surrender, sent a reply letter, saying that the other party was willing to negotiate on the surrender, but asked the young master to go in person, otherwise it would be difficult for them to believe in our sincerity."
"Heh, let me go personally?" Leng Zhuo laughed, although it was casual, but his mind turned around a few times, and finally looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "The military advisor thinks, whether I go or not"
"If the young master wants to fight for military power, it's best to go, after all, there is military power, and you can't do it without soldiers."
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll go there in person, and as for everything in Xiangyang City, I'll leave it to the military advisor to take care of it."
