"General, general," a pro-soldier crawled in front of Jiang Fangshun, with a hint of imperceptible joy in his tone, "The officers and soldiers have retreated!" ”

"Withdrawn?!"

Jiang Fangshun, who was resting against the female wall, heard this, and his originally tired body suddenly burst out of strength again, and he stood up with the support of the female wall, and looked towards the city.

As the guards said, the besieging officers and soldiers retreated like a tide, and even brought back the bodies of their companions.

The huge battlefield became empty in an instant.

Could it be that Guo Pengyi's side succeeded?

Jiang Fangshun's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of this possibility, otherwise, how could the officers and soldiers who had the upper hand retreat so easily.

"In Suilin City, the one surnamed Jiang must be thinking about why we retreated so easily, even though we obviously have an advantage."

In the official barracks, Zhao Yu looked at the generals and said with a chuckle.

"I think so, and that's what everyone here thinks."

"Yes, Your Majesty, why did you withdraw?"

As the first to ascend, Li Yu said in a muffled voice.

It only took a short time for them to completely occupy the attacking city wall, and firmly smashed a nail into the wall for the official army.

Even as long as it goes well, it will be possible to capture Suilin City tonight.

"Don't forget, Mr. Du's antidote can only last for two hours." Seeing that Zhao Yu smiled and didn't speak, Yin Shou had no choice but to open his mouth to explain to the generals, "When the medicine is over, the soldiers who attack the city wall will not only have to face the rebels, but also deal with the Gu worms flying in the sky. In this way, even if Suilin is really captured in the end, how many casualties will it cause? ”

However, if the casualties in a siege war are not high, is it still called a siege war?

Li Yu and the others blinked their eyes and looked puzzled.

You can't stop attacking the city just because the casualties are too great, right?

"Ahem," seeing that Yin Shou didn't know how to explain for a while, Zhao Yu coughed lightly and shifted the attention of the generals to his side, "Although we are waiting for the purpose of quelling the rebellion, most of these rebel soldiers were originally Miao people, and they were the people of Da Chu, but they were bewitched and coerced by Qu Li and others for a while, so they had to embark on the road of rebellion. Moreover, the killing is too much, which hurts the peace of heaven. ”

There is another sentence, he didn't say, he still has to save his strength to deal with the Burmese country that is about to move!

This time, although the counterinsurgency is important, the fundamental purpose of his personal expedition is to teach the Burmese country a lesson, otherwise, to deal with this kind of rebellion, he only needs to send a good general, about 10,000 men and horses, why bother to lead 50,000 troops to drive the personal expedition?

It's just that these thoughts of his can only be explained to the generals after the rebellion is put down.

Kaesong surrendered?

Doubts appeared in the eyes of the generals.

It's all up to this, will these rebels do this?

Yes!

Zhao Yu gave an affirmative answer.

"These rebels don't know that Jiang Fangshun is a businessman of Qi on the surface, but secretly he is a spy of Qi State, and he came to Miao Jiang to cause trouble in Miao Jiang and make the court anxious, so he has to be deeply involved in the war in Miao Jiang, this is one of them."

"Second, they didn't know that the Holy Envoy of the Five Immortal Sect they respected was actually a traitor to the Five Immortal Sect, and even cultivated inhumane evil arts. Of course, Mr. Du was also asked to come forward to explain this to the rebels and people in the city. ”

Seeing that Du Yanqi nodded in response, Zhao Yu continued:

"As long as we inform the rebels and civilians of the city of these things, and make it clear that if Kaesong surrenders, they will be pardoned for their past crimes. If you go one step further and capture Jiang Fangshun, you can get a reward. In my opinion, I think they will understand how to choose. ”

In the end, Zhao Yu was already cold-spoken.

"Qu Li and others cooperate with a traitor like Guo Pengyi and a spy like Jiang Fangshun, it can be said that there is a way to die! Now that the thief chieftain has been ambushed, only Jiang Fangshun, the last one, is left, so naturally he wants to keep him and let the deceived Miao people get out of their evil anger. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

Your Majesty's hand, for Jiang Fangshun, is really too damning!

An hour later, Suilincheng County Ya.

"General, General!" The pro-soldier came to Jiang Fangshun with an arrow in his hand, and said urgently, "This is shot in by the officers and soldiers outside, and there is a note tied to it!" ”

"What?"

Jiang Fangshun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and the splitter took the arrow from the guard's hand, and took off the note tied to the arrow and unfolded it.

After just a cursory glance, Jiang Fangshun only felt that his hairs stood on end, and the blood all over his body rushed to his brain.

What an insidious officer and soldier! What a vicious strategy!

On this note, it was written:

As a traitor, you dare to resist the imperial court and the heavenly army, and you should be killed to show the power of heaven and disobey the town, but God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to kill the evil again, you only need to open the city and surrender, hand over the Jiang Fangshun, and you can open the net, only need to serve a month of hard labor, and the rest of the crimes are not to blame! Those who kill Jiang Fangshun will be rewarded with ten gold; Those who capture Jiang Fangshun will be rewarded with 100 gold!

On this note, the big seal of the little emperor is impressively stamped!

This thing must not be seen by anyone in the city!

Jiang Fang made a decision in an instant, and asked sharply:

"Where did you pick up this arrow?"

"General Hui, it was picked up by the villain on the city wall. The officers and soldiers outside the city shot in a lot. ”

"Let people collect all these arrows, whoever dares to hide them privately, it is a secret communication with the Chu army, and he will not be spared!" Jiang Fangshun hurriedly said, "Don't go yet!" ”

"But, General," said the soldier, boldly, "there are at least a thousand arrows that have been shot into the city......

Nearly a thousand arrows scattered in the city, how can they search for them?

When Jiang Fangshun heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook involuntarily.

Holding on to the armrest, Jiang Fangshun was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a faint voice from outside the city. He was afraid that the officers and soldiers would not talk about martial arts and make any more ruthless moves, so he hurriedly asked his own soldiers to check it out.

However, when the pro-soldiers came back, Jiang Fangshun suddenly felt that the eyes of these pro-soldiers looking at him seemed to be a little different.

"General, the officers and soldiers outside the city are shouting to the city, and what they are saying seems to be the content of the note in the general's hand. Next to the person who shouted, there was also an adult who claimed to be the Jade Toad Envoy of the Five Immortals Sect who was protecting the soldiers and civilians in the city. ”

"Damn!"

Jiang Fangshun scolded angrily, but he had to reluctantly admit that they had completely lost this battle......

He decided to wait until late at night to escape from Suilin City with a few of his own soldiers overnight.

This place can't be stayed!

instructed the soldiers to take the gate of the county ya, and Jiang Fangshun fell asleep in the county ya.

Defending the city had consumed most of his physical strength and energy, and now, he needed to accumulate a wave of stamina for the future run.

However, when he woke up from his sleep, he found that he had been tied up with five flowers.

"Someone, someone!"

However, those who heard his voice come in were several pro-soldiers with sneers on their faces.

"Yo, Master Jiang, are you awake?"

The personal soldiers led by him sneered and arched their hands to Jiang Fangshun, "The people in the city opened the city gate overnight, and we can't wait, in order to survive, I have to tie up the adults and dedicate them to the court, I hope the adults can understand us and others." ”

When Jiang Fangshun heard this, his face turned from white to red, and he was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell unconscious.

Before he fell unconscious, his last thought was that if he knew this, he should have left him alone and escaped from Suilin City without waiting for dark.

"Tsk, this is the first time I've passed out in the past few days."

Several pro-soldiers shook their heads and said playfully:

"I don't know if we won't faint again when we go to the Dharma field in the future?"

Soon, with the defeat of Suilin City, Jiang Fangshun, who was tied up with five flowers, was also sent to Zhao Yu by the rebel soldiers.

Zhao Yu also fulfilled his promise and rewarded a hundred taels of gold to the rebel soldiers who captured Jiang Fangshun.

Since then, all the lands of the city that had been captured by the rebels a few months ago have been recovered by the imperial court, except for the southernmost Denglong Pass.

After taking Suilin City, all the rebels can grasp now is a Denglong Pass without supplies.

As the most important pass to enter Jiaxing Mansion from south to north, Denglong Pass is well guarded, and it is far more difficult to fight than Suilin City.

However, as for how to win Denglong Pass, Zhao Yu already had a case in his heart.

"Go and call Shen Liang."

Not long after, Shen Liang, under the leadership of his personal guards, came to Zhao Yu.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Shen Liang's round face habitually showed a flattering smile.

"Don't be restrained, sit!"

Zhao Yu smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, Shen Liang saw this, and hurriedly sat up, but only sat on half of his buttocks, his upper body leaned slightly, and he looked so respectful that he couldn't be more respectful.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu didn't break it, smiled and said a few words of gossip to him, and then asked quietly:

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Gao Bin, the current guard of Denglong Pass?"

Shin nodded brightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Gao Bin and I are both from Yinshanliao, and we are almost fellow countrymen."

As he spoke, Shen Liang's heart gradually rose.

This majesty, can't he want to deceive himself again?

If Zhao Yu knew Shen Liang's thoughts, he might shake his head and laugh, this thing belonged to a snake bite once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

"Today, only Denglong Pass is still in the hands of the rebels. I want you and Mr. Du to go to Denglongguan and tell Gao Bin that I want to Denglongguan. ”

Zhao Yu said lightly.

"Then the little emperor wants to ascend the Dragon Pass?"

Inside Denglong Pass, Gao Bin sat in the middle of the hall, squinting at Shen Liang.

"Your Majesty does say so."

Shen Liang faced Gao Bin's unkind gaze and nodded vigorously, "It's Denglong Pass." ”

The corners of Gao Bin's mouth twitched, and his eyes did not hide his mockery.

"If you have the ability, let the little emperor attack Denglong Pass. Do you want to let me let this pass out with my tongue alone? Hmph, it's ridiculous! ”

Du Yanqi on the side smiled faintly and said: "It is precisely for the sake of the general that His Majesty asked the contemptible people to come to persuade the general together with General Shen." ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter broke out in the hall, and several generals led by Gao Bin all burst into laughter.

"For this will be considered? Mr. Du, I Jingling is a member of the Five Immortals Sect, and I have no intention of embarrassing you, but I still ask you to tell the little emperor. If you have the ability, let him personally come to take this Denglong Pass! ”

"Old Gao!"

When Shen Liang heard this, he couldn't take care of it anymore, and said loudly:

"Do you think Your Majesty really can't beat Denglong Pass? He just doesn't want to fight! As long as Your Majesty lets the soldiers trap Denglong Pass to death, how long can you last with the food stored in the pass alone? Or do you think you are more powerful than the Qu brothers and Guo Pengyi? Combined, these guys didn't last enough for a month in His Majesty's hands, how long can you hold on? ”

There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Shen Liang struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"Your Majesty didn't fight Denglong Pass, just because he didn't want to cause any more unnecessary casualties. If he was willing, it wouldn't take him a month to completely reorganize the nearly 30,000 people of the Qu family brothers, plus the 50,000 horses of the imperial court. With this army of 80,000, what do you rely on to resist? Is it because you have less than 3,000 men? Or is it this Denglong Pass? 80,000 people can drown this Denglong Pass with a mouthful of spit! ”

"Okay, even if you Gao Bin is more powerful than the Qu family brothers, you were lucky enough to repel the imperial army. But at that time, Lao Gao, you and the Liang Zi of the Chu State Court were married. If the imperial court sends another army, will you still be able to stop it? Blocking the 80,000 army once is already a fluke, do you think that you are the reincarnation of the military immortal god and can't succeed, and you still want to block it for the second time? At that time, even if you regret it, it will be too late! ”

With Shen Liang's words, the hall suddenly fell silent.

"If that time had come, we would have gone back a long time ago." One of the lieutenants snorted unconvinced.

"On the other side of Denglong Pass is the garrison of Qu Zhenqu's southern army, where can you run to? Besides, if you can go, the officers and soldiers can't chase after you? Naive! ”

Shen Liang's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.

"If it really comes to that point, you abandon the pass and flee, and our Five Immortal Sect will not sit idly by. The sect leader will send someone to arrest you in front of the imperial army and appease the anger of the Great Chu Emperor. ”

Du Yanqi made up a knife faintly.

"Mr. Du, you!"

Gao Bin was so blocked by Du Yanqi's words that he couldn't catch his breath and rolled his eyes.

"The foundation of the Five Immortals Sect is Miao Jiang and Miao Min, for the stability of Miao Jiang, in order to prevent Miao Jiang from falling into war again, we have to do this, I hope General Gao can understand."

As soon as Du Yanqi's words came out, Gao Bin became even more depressed.

There is a reason for killing you, I hope you can understand......

Understand your yarn!

"How many times have you been here in the southwest?"

A general broke the silence.

"In the past few hundred years, since Great Xia, what day has Miao Jiang not belonged to Great Chu?" Shen Liang asked retorted, "I also came here to save your lives." Otherwise, according to the wishes of the generals in the army, you rebels should be cut down and eradicated, and no chickens and dogs will be left! Besides, you were left behind by Qu Li and them in the rear of Denglong Pass, aren't you afraid that you will take more benefits? ”

Lao Tie, it's heartbroken!

As soon as these words came out, the rebels looked at each other.

Shen Liang's last sentence made them hurt in their hearts.

It was precisely because they were not Qu Li's descendants and were not taken seriously that they were sent to Denglong Pass.

Seeing that everyone's faces were different, Shen Liang secretly said that there was a door, glanced around at everyone, and said:

"Before leaving, Your Majesty asked me to bring a word to you, the same is to be a dog, do you want to be a wild dog that is chased and flees in all directions and ends up cornered, or is it a domestic dog that cares for the imperial court?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, and Shen Liang spoke out the deepest fears in their hearts.

For the behemoth of Da Chu, they were just a mouse. As long as Da Chu spends a little effort, he can trample them to death with one kick. As for the Five Immortal Sect and Miao Min, for their own sake, they would not help them at all.

"Lao Gao, you give my brother a happy word, this Denglong Pass, do you want to let it go? If you make up your mind to be a wild dog that everyone can beat, then let Lao Shen and I go back and tell Your Majesty that in three days, the army will attack the city. However, you and I are also brothers in the end, and I will implore Your Majesty to leave a whole corpse for you. ”

Shen Liang didn't want to delay any longer, so he simply showed his hole cards.

To fall, or not to fall?

A pair of eyes in the hall looked at Gao Bin on the main seat.

Gao Bin pondered for a while, and said:

"Lao Shen, it's not that I don't believe you. It's that you followed the Qu brothers in front, but now you are speaking for the officials and the army in turn, you are like this, how can I believe it, how can I dare to believe it? No matter how you say, you have to come up with evidence that makes people feel credible, right? ”

Seeing that Gao Bin was finally relieved, Shen Liang and Du Yanqi finally put their hearts down.

Although what the two of them said was discussed with Zhao Yu before leaving, one sang with a red face and the other with a white face, but entering the tiger's den alone still made their nervous palms full of sweat.

"Credentials?" Shen Liang and Du Yanqi took a step to the left and right, and let out an entourage behind them, "How about this?" ”

Everyone subconsciously looked over, only to see that the entourage raised his head, straightened his back, and the appearance of the original submissive and cautious follower disappeared in an instant, replaced by a majestic aura rising from him.

"My surname is Wang Mingxiong, and I am the commander of His Majesty's pro-army, and now at the behest of His Majesty, one is to protect General Shen and Mr. Du, and the other is to persuade everyone here to surrender to the court."

As he spoke, Wang Xiongdan's right hand was raised, and in the palm of his hand was a jade-colored seal.

"Your Majesty's jade seal is here, I don't know if it's enough to make a certificate for General Shen and Mr. Du?"

Seeing the jade seal in Wang Xiongdan's hand, Gao Bin and the others changed their faces, and finally fell to their knees together.

"I, the guilty ministers, see Your Majesty!"

By now, the imperial court has shown the greatest sincerity to itself, and if these desperate rebels are no longer interested, the next thing that awaits them will be the overwhelming army and the soldiers will be closed.

Seeing that Gao Bin and the others knew the current affairs so well, Wang Xiongdan and the three of them also breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to take Denglong Pass without spending a single soldier and without bloodshed is undoubtedly the best result for the imperial court.

Next, let's see what your majesty plans are after the convergence of Zhennan General Qu Zhen.
