"Although Liangshan is low-key, it is not as simple as you think!" Li Zhu looked at more than a dozen generals and deputy generals, and said in a flat but determined voice: "I don't know much about Liangshan, but I have heard what the copycat Zhu Junshi said." They came from the north, and they were the members of the Shaohua Mountain tribe back then. ”

"Shaohua Mountain? Didn't the remnants of the remnants hug the calves and fall into the grass in the east of the river? "Shaohuashan became famous in the first battle, and everyone present knew something about it. Of course, I have also heard or inquired about the origin of the strongmen of Baoqian Mountain in Luzhou, Hedong.

"yes, who knows if the two have anything to do with each other." Li Zhu smiled mysteriously, and then added: "In addition, the owner of Liangshan Cottage is Wang Jin, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army. More than half a year ago, my nephew Li Kai said that Liangshan had a big move. ”

Although it was only two or three sentences, the amount of information was very large, making everyone exclaim: "The forbidden army is the head of the sect, Wang Jin, isn't he already dead?" ”

"Li Yi? Strategist, you actually let your nephew defect to Liangshan? ”

"People have no long-term worries, but they have near-term worries." Li Zhu smiled bitterly a few times, and sighed again: "It's not just my nephew, He Ji, Guo Gan, and Chen Yun They all voted for Liangshan. If nothing else, I just want to find a way back for myself and everyone present. It's like last night, when I was restless, so I asked you to save your lives. If things do work out, why do they need to go elsewhere? ”

Xie Ning, Li Xiong, Liu Yuan and other men all bowed their heads and remained silent. The military advisor is right, if it was done last night, it would destroy the imperial court.

Li Zhu came back to his senses from that feeling of loss, and asked everyone in a deep voice: "Okay, brothers, if you can trust me, go to Liangshan together, there are old brothers." Those of you who are here need not be worried, you will be receiving

Reuse. ”

"I'll follow the military advisor!" The crowd shouted in unison. They somewhat understood that Emperor Wang Qing of Chu was powerless to overturn the sky and was destined to be exterminated by the imperial court. Instead of being buried with each other, it is better to go elsewhere for a future.

"Well, brothers, everyone is a member of the court. When you go to Liangshan in the future, you must pay attention to the rules, they don't look like fake Chu. Wang Zhai has never been nepotistic, as long as you have the ability and your own expertise, you will be reused, and it is not a problem to be a general......"

Li Zhu quickly entered the state and told him what he knew about the situation in Liangshan. Avoid these old brothers from thinking old and making mistakes in a new place.

In fact, Li Daochang had already been interested in Liangshan when he was selling illicit salt the year before last. I secretly doubted Wang Qing and Liang Shan in my heart, and found that there was no comparison in terms of military, system, or economy. As more and more information about goodness is gathered, the heart yearns for it.

Li Zhu decided to defect to Liangshan, so he would not hesitate.

Next, the city of Mengzhou moved, because there was too much grain in the granary in the city to take it away. Li Zhu organized manpower to distribute to the poor people in the city or outside the city, so that the simple people cheered and shouted for the king.

Many reluctant bachelors from their families joined the army of their own accord, and there were five or six thousand people. A procession of 30,000 or 40,000 people escorted thousands of carts out of the West Gate and headed north.

That's right, Li Zhu discussed with everyone and unanimously decided to go to Hugging Calf Mountain. After all, the two places are three hundred miles apart. Rather, it is a long way to Jeju Yangsan, not to mention, and it will pass through Tokyo, Bianliang and other places, and the danger will increase several times.

Just when the team was marching north.

The imperial army encountered it last night

The news of the heavy losses caused by the attack by Li Zhu and others spread in Xijing. Teng Ji, Teng Ji brothers ran away in a bad mood, Wang Qing learned about the whole thing, regretted it, and scolded Qiu Xiang, Fang Han and others.

But this is also his last majesty!

As Li Zhu said, sooner or later Wang Qing will be doomed.

Even though the Xijing guards Liu Min and Liu Zhibo were able to write and fight, they were isolated and helpless. What kind of wind and waves can it bear? He knew that the Chu regime was crumbling, and he had no ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, so he could only get by and stick to the city.

Let's talk about the imperial court! The two old knots were killed on the battlefield, and the city of Mengzhou was lost. The front-line army suffered heavy losses, which made Song Huizong in the court furious.

The angels rushed to the front camp to issue a decree and immediately send troops to exterminate the traitors.

The imperial army suffered heavy losses due to the night attack, losing 20,000 or 30,000 people, but it did not break its bones. Wait until the grain and grass from other places are transported to ease the effort. Wang Yu retaliated and commanded the army to launch a fierce attack.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of catapults, bed crossbows and other siege equipment, Wang Qingjun suffered heavy losses. The imperial court besieged the city and attacked it fiercely.

Emperor Wang Qing of Chu was at a moment of crisis until this time, and if he couldn't get through, he would be cut alive. So the broken jar was broken, and it was bound to fight to the death with the imperial court. He led an army of more than 100,000 to fight against Wang Yu.

Even if Wang Qingjun fought against the water, the troops outside the city were arranged, and the two armies faced each other, fighting wits and courage. You robbed the camp and ambushed me; During the defense of the city, he was very brave, rolling wood and stones, boiling water and other things, and throwing them out of the city. The two sides were deadlocked, winning and losing each other, and the imperial army suffered heavier losses.

But apart from Liu Min, there are no generals available under Wang Qing. their own relatives

Han, Qiu Xiang either died in the chaos of the army, or escaped and was killed, embarrassed by the task. The key is isolation, trapped in one place, and scarce resources. As the stalemate continues, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable.

On the other hand, the imperial army, Wang Yu, and Yang Wen are all good generals, and they are constantly supplied. The siege equipment was too powerful, Wang Qingjun was finally invincible, and lost the city one after another, and the cities around Xijing City were captured.

After three months, mid-June.

There is only one Xijing City left in the pseudo-Chu, and it is difficult to set off storms, and its destruction is imminent.

Wang Qing also knew his fate after the city was broken, and he also sent envoys to surrender during this period. Unfortunately, he was rejected by the emperor of the Song Dynasty and could only be defeated and died.

Forty or fifty thousand people defended a city, and the imperial court failed to take it for a month, but suffered heavy losses, and finally surrounded it on all sides, trapping and killing the enemy.

It wasn't until September that the city's food and grass were stretched thin.

Wang Yu knew that the opportunity to break the city had come, and he shot arrows everywhere to spread the news. It is clear that only the first evil will be killed, as long as the city can be opened and surrendered, the past is not to blame.

The people of the city were panicked and plunged into chaos.

Xijing City, the government office.

"Hahaha, listening to slander and cronyism, I have only come to this point." Wang Qingmai, who had loose hair and a scruffy beard, shouted drunk. At this moment, he is only decadent and lonely, and he doesn't look like an emperor in a dragon robe. muttered about his mistakes, beat his chest, and regretted changing his generals. Otherwise, the imperial army outside will be exterminated, and the situation will not be like this.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!" A burly woman with a full face was richly dressed, with a fluttering skirt, and walked to Wang Qing's side to comfort her. He is Duan Sanniang, and he is also the queen canonized by Wang Qing and the queen of Chu.

"The emperor is wrong

Is it so? Wang Qing's eyes became clear, staring at the woman and asked. The other concubines were either sick or ran away, but this rude-looking woman who didn't like much was left and never left.

"No, it's all fate!" Duan Sanniang hugged Wang Qing with a rare tenderness: "Dead ghost, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is not allowed to surrender, and he can't tolerate me." Since you can't be rich and noble in life, then go to Huangquan together so as not to suffer. ”

"Okay, you're not afraid of a woman, but you're still afraid of a bird? You wait. Wang Qing hugged the woman and muttered, let go of his feet, drew his sword and shook it forward, asked the attendants, and found that he was drinking and laughing with people in Zuomou, without saying a word, an arrow stepped forward, and it was a sword to death.

"Your mother, your mother's ......, slander and harm Lao Tzu, die to the emperor first!" Wang Qing killed the little man who slipped his beard and threw away his blood-stained sword. stumbled back to the main hall and embraced Duan Sanniang and set fire. The palace, which had been temporarily converted into an imperial palace, soon fell into flames.

The next day, the gate of Xijing City was opened, and the officials of the puppet Chu went out of the city to surrender.

At this point, the Huaixi battlefield, after nearly two years of counterinsurgency, came to an end. Wang Qing's failed self-immolation of pseudo-Chu Securities also indicates that the situation in the world has reversed!
