Chapter 81: The Flag

Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen walked on the way back to the camp, and Qu Mingde asked, "Brother Zuo, in your opinion, will Lu Qi surrender?"

"I don't know much about that. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zuo Chengwen said: "I'm ashamed to say that although I have lived in Pengcheng for a long time, I know almost nothing about Lu Qi except that his official reputation is not bad. ”

Qu Mingde nodded and stopped talking.

After Zuo Jianzhang called the two of them over just now, he just asked a few words about the situation of the camp, and then asked them to go back to the camp to prepare.

Qu Mingde listened to Zuo Jianzhang's words, and was a little unsure whether he was sure to persuade Lu Qi to surrender, so he asked Zuo Chengwen's opinion on the road. Who knew that Zuo Chengwen couldn't provide any information, so he had to shut up.

When they returned to the camp, nothing special happened. Even the Great Zhou Jiangzhou garrison on the opposite side did not make any action at all.

"It looks like I can't sleep well tonight. Qu Mingde joked.

Zuo Chengwen said: "It's okay, if you don't sleep all night, everyone can hold on." ”

Hearing this answer, Qu Mingde was stunned for a moment, finally nodded, and then arched his hand and returned to his tent.

Very early the next day, there was no need to beat the drum to gather the generals, and everyone consciously felt that Zuo Chengwen's big tent was in the big tent. Although Qu Mingde was not his general, of course he would not put on anything special at this time, so he also followed a few centurions into it. 、

"Our task is to prevent the other side from breaking into Pengcheng, and if the other party does not move, we will not take the initiative to provoke. Zuo Chengwen said: "Everything will wait until the main camp issues further orders." ”

"Yes, flag bear!" the centurion replied in a deep voice.

"Very well, go ahead. ”

With his order, the morning meeting ended like this. This kind of crisp and neat style is full of the style of the Jianghu people.

"Brother Zuo, are we doing things like this?" Qu Mingde still stayed in the big tent and said to Zuo Chengwen: "Time is not on our side." ”

Zuo Chengwen nodded and said, "Brother Qu, you have a point, but what can we do if we don't sit and wait?"

Qu Mingde was dumbfounded by this rhetorical question.

Indeed, they now have nothing to do but sit and wait.

Although if the garrison on the other side of the river could be cut off, it would definitely cause a great shock to the city. But it's just a matter of thinking about this kind of thing, if you really want to do it, Qu Mingde doesn't want to joke with his own life.

The opponent is at least more than 3,000 professional soldiers, plus they have the advantage of defense, and they don't know how many hard crossbows there are. With their 500 people rushing forward, I am afraid that they will die in a few moments.

The work of sitting and waiting was extremely boring, and it was hard to stay up until noon, but the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more heavy.

According to Zuo Jianzhang's words left yesterday, if this Jiangzhou assassin Shi Luqi did not surrender, he would attack the city - until now, Qu Mingde still did not know what method Zuo Jianzhang was going to use to break the tall Pengcheng.

Noon is approaching, the other side is fighting or surrendering, and the results are about to come out.

At this time, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen naturally didn't have the heart to sit in the big tent and wait, so they both stood up and ordered the people in the camp to wear armor, get out of the stable, and assemble in the camp and school.

Then, everyone frequently looked in the direction of the main camp, waiting for the herald messenger that Zuo Jianzhang took out.

Noon, one moment!

In their sight, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly appeared.

This is the dust that someone has splashed when he is galloping on a horse, and Qu Mingde has been riding a horse before and after this time, so he is naturally very familiar with it.

"It's coming. He cried out in his heart, "I just don't know what the result is." ”

"Report~" I saw the knight in the distance and dismount from the camp, and shouted loudly in a long voice.

"What was the result?" Zuo Chengwen asked.

The man knelt down on one knee in front of Zuo Chengwen and said to Zuo Chengwen: "The lord invites the eldest prince to go to the main camp and accept the head of Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Luqi with the lord." In addition, please ask Qu Gongzi to accompany him, and the rest of the people will be stationed in place, so that the Jiangzhou defenders cannot cross the river for a single step. ”

Zuo Chengwen and Qu Mingde breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

The number of people here is very small, and Qu Zuo and the others had already left the camp for a while yesterday, so it is easy to arrange at this time. After a while, he followed the herald to the main camp to meet Zuo Jianzhang.

"Luch is still an acquaintance. As soon as he saw Zuo Chengwen, Zuo Jianzhang said: "Just now he has sent a messenger over, saying that he is willing to surrender." Wen'er, virtuous nephew, you two will stand on my left and right later. ”

"Yes!" Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen should arrive at the same time.

Lu Qi did not play tricks, and when the appointed time came, he saw the city gate open, and a group of plain men came out of it. At first, an injured person was holding a gold seal representing the history of the assassination, and there was a bunch of officials holding household registration books behind him, which was Lu Qi and others who went out of the city and surrendered.

When they came to the outside of the city, the flag representing the Great Zhou on the city was also lowered, and only a bare flagpole remained there.

"The overlord is on top, Lu Qi ......" Lu Qibai fell to the ground, and as soon as he started, he saw Zuo Jianzhang helping him up.

"Haha, Brother Lu, since we are all a family, why bother to do this again. Zuo Jianzhang said: "What's more, a certain martial artist is just a martial artist, where can he bear the title of overlord."

Lu Qi was a little caught off guard by Zuo Jianzhang's hand, and it was not to stand up when he stayed there, nor was he to stand up if he didn't stand up.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up, bowed down and raised the golden seal above his head, offering it to Zuo Jianzhang.

The history of the assassin of a state is a feudal official in the end, and his golden seal represents the orthodoxy recognized by the Great Zhou.

At this moment, Zuo Jianzhang saw Lu Qi offering the golden seal, and he was not hypocritical, and directly took it into his hands.

Although Zuo Jianzhang was a rebel, after the state assassin Shi Jinyin was in his hands, it almost represented the demise of the Great Zhou in the form of rule in Jiangzhou. Many officials who were still bowing to the ground saw this scene, whether they were sincere or false, and their faces showed sad looks.

Zuo Jianzhang swept them one by one, and naturally saw this color clearly. But instead of getting angry, he said, "Get up!"

"Yes, General. A sound sounded weakly, and then the officials dared to get up slowly, and bent over to the side. The household registration field book in his hand did not dare to mess up at all.

"Hahaha. Brother Lu, come with me into the city. Zuo Jianzhang grabbed Lu Qi's arm and said with a laugh.

Zuo Chengwen and Qu Mingde followed behind Zuo Jianzhang one by one, and then behind them, naturally, there were hundreds of knights who dismounted.
