Chapter 67: Taking Chongcheng
As soon as Chonghei Tiger died, the purpose of this expedition was successfully completed, and Deng Jiugong was ready to return to the barracks. Although there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, but there is a scene of slaughter under the city, and the black tiger is beheaded, the soldiers and civilians in the city are already frightened birds at this moment, and he does not dare to send troops to challenge his mercy by borrowing a few courages from the guards.
It's just that how to deal with the generals of Wenpin, which makes Deng Jiugong very nerve-wracking, Chonghei Tiger is the head of the army, and he is innocent of death. These three people just assisted him, and their crimes were not to death, and they wanted to let them go, but they were worried that a few people did not know the practice, and led the soldiers to kill themselves, or told Jiang Ziya what happened in Chongcheng, which caused a lot of trouble to themselves.
"Dog thief, if you kill my prince, you will not die well. I can't wait to drink its blood, eat its flesh, and eat its soul, so that I can vent the hatred in my heart!"
As soon as he brought someone up, Wen Ping scolded loudly, Deng Jiugong frowned, and glanced at Qin Ming on the side. Qin Ming comprehended, stepped forward with the knife, his hand rose and fell, and Wen Ping fell to the ground forever.
Cui Ying and Jiang Xiong were shocked, looking at Wen Ping's corpse with a burst of sadness.
"Unexpectedly, Marshal Deng is not only strong in Taoism, but also decisive in killing, and he is really a hero. It's a pity that the prince didn't listen to me, otherwise why would he end up so miserably, it's sad and lamentable!"
Cui Ying stood tall and ready, ready to die, as a minister, he had a clear conscience, and now that the prince is dead, he will go with him to repay his appreciation.
Deng Jiugong glanced at Cui Ying with some surprise, and praised: "I didn't expect that Chonghei Hu had such a talent as you, you can see that he is not as good as me, just this point, better than many people." ”
In this world, arrogant people are in the majority, and there are very few people who can really face up to their opponents and speak according to facts.
Cui Ying said lightly: "Marshal Deng has won the award, his strength is not good, even if he can escape the doom for a while, but in the end he can't change his fate." ”
Even if the prince and the prince defended the fortified city, they could not resist Deng Jiugong, who only led 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the northern frontier, and he must be ready to destroy the prince and marquis, and he would not give up halfway.
"Makes sense!"
Deng Jiugong nodded and said to Cui Ying and Jiang Xiong: "Give you two a choice, either die with Chongheihu, or join me and serve me." Cui Ying's extraordinary export made Deng Jiugong think about cherishing talents.
Before Cui Ying could speak, Jiang Xiong was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "What Marshal Deng said is true?"
Ants are still stealing life, not to mention people, Jiang Xiong has not yet had the consciousness of Cui Ying, and he sacrificed himself for Chonghehu.
Cui Ying glanced at Jiang Xiong with some surprise and sighed, he didn't expect him to be so desperate for his life, and he was so blind. But think about it, everyone in the world hates death and loves life.
Deng Jiu said fairly: "Ben Shuai has always done the number when he speaks. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to join me and be loyal to me, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Jiang Xiong hurriedly said: "I am willing to serve Marshal Deng as a dog and horse." ”
Deng Jiugong nodded, turned his gaze to Cui Ying, and asked, "What about you, are you willing to serve me as the master?"
Cui Ying said: "Loyal ministers do not serve the second master, although the reputation is not obvious, but they also know this truth." Marshal Deng, I fell into your hands, I want to kill or chop, listen to you. ”
Deng Jiugong glanced at him and reprimanded: "Pedanty, good birds choose trees to perch, and loyal ministers choose the lord to serve." What you have learned, don't you want to use it on the battlefield, don't you want to shine? Ben Shuai doesn't know much about Chongheihu, but he also knows that he is not a Ming Jun, and if you follow him, it can be regarded as a pearl and a secret investment, and it is difficult to display his talents. Moreover, the handsome employs people, unlike others, and does not doubt the use of people, but does not use suspicious people. ”
When Cui Ying heard this, there was a deliberate look in his eyes, and it was undeniable that Deng Jiugong's words touched people's hearts, especially someone like himself who had never met with talent.
Jiang Xiong on the side was not stupid, he knew that Deng Jiugong intended to subdue Cui Ying, so he added fuel to the fire and said: "Brother Cui, since Marshal Deng values you so much, what are you still hesitating about, life is more important than anything else." ”
Cui Ying didn't speak, his heart fell into infinite entanglement, he was a fair and upright gentleman, exuding a heroic righteousness, if he joined Deng Jiugong's command, wouldn't it be treacherous.
Deng Jiugong persuaded: "You can think about it, if you die, there will be no one in charge of the overall situation in this Chongcheng, it will fall into a protracted war, the people will also suffer from military disasters, and countless people will be homeless, isn't it sad!"
Chongheihu, as the largest prince in northern Xinjiang, once the news of his death spreads, those forces that are ready to move have not surfaced, but they are afraid that Chongheihu's territory will be carved up.
When Cui Ying heard this, her expression was solemn, she muttered for a long time, and looked at Deng Jiugong to kneel: "The criminal minister Cui Ying is willing to surrender." ”
Deng Jiugong was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and blurted out a sentence: "I have Cui Ying, better than 100,000 soldiers and horses." After speaking, he always felt that this was a little familiar, wasn't this Cao Cao's line.
Cui Ying was very excited and said busily: "The marshal has won the award, and the last general's skills are low, and he is willing to serve the marshal." "As a surrendered general, being so valued by the coach makes Cui Ying feel like he has met the master.
Jiang Xiong on the side was envious, he was also a surrendered general, Deng Jiugong's attitude towards Cui Ying and himself was very different, fortunately, he had a good relationship with Cui Ying, and with him, he would have a time to be reused.
"Good!"
After subduing Cui Ying, Deng Jiugong suddenly had an idea in his heart, that is, to hand over Chongcheng to him to take care of and cultivate his own power. The general trend of the world, the trend of the destruction of Shang is irreversible, and what he did in Xiqi is just a continuation of the time for the imperial court to perish.
The future will be the stage of the Zhou family, so can I use the territory of Chonghei Tiger to fight with Ji Fa in the ring.
In this huge territory, I don't take the gift of God, although I am a cultivator, but who stipulates that a cultivator does not have his own territory. Journey to the West, as the ruler of the world, also manages the huge Xiniu Hezhou.
With the territory, you can mobilize more resources, which can only benefit your own cultivation and do not harm, and you can also build some magnificent Taoist temples and temples in the famous mountains and rivers to attract the cultivators of the three mountains and five mountains to come here to watch. In this way, I have an additional opportunity to make friends with them.
The more Deng Jiugong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to implement it now, but he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry to accomplish this, and the top priority was how to take the territory of Chongheihu without unloading his blade.
Of course, with Cui Ying here, it is not difficult to take Chongcheng.
"Cui Ying, now that Chonghei Tiger has been ambushed, this Chongcheng is the ownerless city, you are willing to take it for Ben Shuai. ”
In fact, this is also a test of Cui Ying's ability, he has assisted Chonghei Tiger in governing Chongcheng for many years, if he doesn't even have this ability, then Chongcheng himself is not at ease to hand it over to him.
Cui Ying's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Marshal, don't worry, as long as I am given a stick of incense, I can persuade the generals in the city to go out of the city and surrender." ”
Chonghei Hu specializes in cultivating, almost all of this Chongcheng is taken care of by himself, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in the city are arranged by himself.
Deng Jiugong glanced at him and said loudly: "Okay, Ben Shuai will give you time for two sticks of incense, if you can't complete the task, then I can only order the soldiers to forcibly attack the city." When the soldiers arrive, the jade will be burned, don't blame the handsome for being ruthless. ”
Cui Ying's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said: "The end will be guaranteed by the head of the Xiang, and the inner city gate will be opened with a stick of incense." ”
Deng Jiugong smiled and nodded.
