Volume 4 Chapter 61 The General's Helplessness
Dongfang just showed the white of the fish's belly, and dozens of veterans cleaned the empty streets of the main city of Qingzhou. Now the houses here are full of soldiers defending the city, and the people left behind plus the original military rations are enough to support everyone here for three months. It's a pity that Xiao Limin feels that these grains are redundant.
It is rare for the three hundred gold guards to wear the royal gold armor that belongs to them, all of them are energetic and murderous, although they are already a little old, they are the model of these young sergeants, and even the entire southwest military town, these three hundred guards can be called one of the best.
Xiao Limin followed Chen Lie beside him, and the two of them both went up to the city tower, they knew that they would definitely see the people of the White Elephant Clan today.
And the three hundred gold-armored guards stood behind the city gate in a line, ready to stand by at any time. Yang Rong and his iron-headed army rested during the day and were responsible for guarding the main city at night.
Xiao Limin pointed to the vast land outside Qingzhou City and said: "This place was originally prepared for war, and we will deal with how many enemies come." ”
Chen Lie had also turned his grief and anger into strength, and said, "I must avenge General Ji Teng!"
Speaking of Ji Teng, Xiao Limin suddenly felt a little sad: "I hurt him." ”
In fact, it was just Xiao Limin's time to add even a day to the retreat of the people of Qingzhou. Once the Red Robe City is lost, the city behind it will be as fragile as an eggshell. Ordinary generals can defend the Red Robe City for two days, and Ji Teng can defend it for three days, that is success.
Qingzao City also ushered in Zhu Gang again, the difference is that this time Zhu Gang brought a siege ladder and more people.
Li Yao's face was grim, he knew that today was the real war.
These two people, originally not only this reputation, but they are both stuck in the world, they don't know each other, but they also cherish each other, they are just little people who show their faces.
Zhu Gang watched from afar, with an unchanged face, as his own soldiers shouted and charged, while the soldiers defending the city opened their bows and arrows and threw down stones. But Liao Qian had already given Zhu Gang a death order, and now in the face of absolute superiority, a frontal siege is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way.
This day was very similar to the previous Red Robe City, except that Qingjube City was far less fragile than Red Robe City.
On the tower of the city, Li Yao held a long sword and personally killed three Tibetan soldiers who climbed upstairs.
As soon as the horn sounded, the soldiers on the city tower cheered, and Li Yao's face was covered with blood, staring at Zhu Gang in the distance. In fact, both of them can only see each other's figures, and the expressions on their faces are simply unpredictable, but they already have each other's appearances in their minds.
The army behind Zhu Gang was in good order, the former army became the rear army, slowly retired, and some Tibetan soldiers rode out of the battle, ran to the city and said: "General Zhu has an order, he originally wanted to slaughter the city, but now he is kind, and those who disarm will not be killed!"
On the city tower, Li Yao laughed loudly, looking like a madman: "If your general can shave his life, I can consider leaving him a whole corpse!"
Zhu Gang sneered after listening to Li Yao's reply: "But so, conceited and complacent, how can you survive!"
At the south gate of the main city of Xinzhou, Liang Zuo and Qian Shaoyou stood side by side. At this time, NSW is as quiet as ever.
Qian Shaoyou said: "General Liang is so talented, it's a pity to stick to this. ”
Liang Zuo smiled: "There are actually many people like me in the world, but there are few lucky people like me." ”
Qian Shaoyou said: "General Liang is content. I don't know what you think of the letter from Luo Datong, the general of Xizhou Prefecture yesterday?"
Liang Zuo's face changed slightly, and he asked with some dissatisfaction, "You dare to rob my letter?"
Qian Shaoyou said coldly: "It was my subordinate who met the messenger in your house, and the two fought and killed him by mistake. Seeing that there was a letter in his sleeve, he opened it and looked at it, and after learning that it was a letter to General Liang, he was afraid that General Liang would blame him, so he shot it into General Liang's room with a short knife. ”
Liang Zuo's heart trembled, being able to kill people so quietly in the General's Mansion, could it be the master who followed Qian Shaoyou last time?
In fact, Liang Zuo is very jealous of Luo Datong, after all, Luo Datong is a generation of famous generals, although he is old, he is an absolute supporter of Xiao Shifeng, and he has a high loyalty to the Xiao family. And Luo Datong is a general who crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, he guarded Xizhou, Liang Zuo didn't want to be his enemy at all, which is why Liang Zuo has been delaying the use of troops under the pretext of guarding against Xizhou.
Luo Datong's letter last night asked about the troops of Liang Zuo's prefecture, and it seems that Luo Datong did not know that Liang Zuo had defected. In the letter, Luo Datong mentioned that he wrote to the imperial court three times and twice to send troops to rescue Qingzhou, but they were all sunk in the sea, so he wanted to borrow some troops from Liang Zuo to go out to quell the chaos together. Luo Datong wants to cut first and then play, he has always been like this, in the face of major rights and wrongs, he will never stick to the old rules.
However, the person he sent died, and tomorrow Luo Datong will suddenly realize that Liang Zuo is not a person like him, he has also rebelled, and if Luo Datong's edge points to Xinzhou, he will have to start a war and confirm the name of the anti-thief.
"You're amazing. Liang Zuo gritted his teeth and came out with these four words.
Qian Shaoyou said coldly: "If General Liang is trustworthy, Shaoyou doesn't have to worry about General Liang." ”
Liang Zuo slapped his palm on the battlements, pointed to the soldiers around him and said, "Don't be so complacent, if I want you to die, it's a matter of minutes." ”
"I know. Qian Shaoyou didn't care: "General Liang can try, and then we will both go to the underworld as companions, and we will work together in the next life." ”
"Great cause?" Liang Zuo shook his head: "I really didn't expect that I could do such a big thing in my life, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Xizhou General's Mansion.
Luo Datong didn't wait for the subordinate to come back, but the people sent out to inquire began to come back one after another, and there was no news.
Luo Datong frowned, he was almost seventy years old, with white hair and even a white beard. I thought I could settle down in peace, but I didn't expect that the world would be chaotic again, and the entire western military town would be reversed.
Luo Datong is experienced, in fact, he doesn't trust Liang Zuo 100%, and now in this situation, except for Xiao Shifeng, no one dares to believe it. If he sends troops to Suzhou, if he happens to rebel in Xinzhou, then his Xizhou will definitely be in danger. In terms of strength and strength, Xinzhou is to assist in the defense of the frontier, and the murderous spirit of the soldiers is definitely better, their advantage lies in experience, and the rest have no advantage, and if they divide the troops, they are afraid that they will be in deep danger.
Xiao Tiantu didn't reply for a long time, and I don't know if he has another good plan. Luo Datong's best strategy is to rehabilitate Liang Zuo together, first cut and then play, which now seems to be impossible.
Now I can only wait, waiting for Xiao Tiantu's order. Luo Datong has been a horse all his life, he doesn't understand government politics, and he can't play court politics.
