Chapter 91 What people want
Missouri is the last stop to Deng and Lai, so it must be taken.
In addition to the people gathered by Deng Shiguang this time, there are at least 20,000 people in the city who were killed and captured.
Liang Shan's heroes are not good at attacking the city, and the most important thing is that Song Qing doesn't want to have too much damage. More than 30,000 people attacked the city guarded by more than 20,000 people. Even if they won, it would be a tragic victory, so Song Qing was a little worried.
The order was ordered to clean up the battlefield, camp in the four cities of Mizhou at the same time, and surrounded Mizhou. Deng Shiguang must not be given the opportunity to report to the imperial court again. At the same time, the battalions were ordered not to abuse prisoners and actively treat the wounded prisoners.
These manpower are really precious to Song Qing. There is no need for people to expand the army and repair houses and land?
After the camp was put together, Song Qing summoned a meeting.
The news of Liangshan's army's attack on the city has spread, so will it be as easy as before to receive the two states of Denglai smoothly? Therefore, this battle must be decided quickly.
What's more, Deng Shiguang's mobilization of so many people this time should be the limit under his rule, and other places must be very empty.
Song Qing didn't dare to think of a high-city port like Qizhou and Qingzhou, but there should be no problem in Weizhou, which is close to Mizhou. As long as Weizhou is taken again, there will be no worries when he goes through the two states of Lai in the future.
But Weizhou is next to Qingzhou, so a brave and resourceful general must be sent.
The time is not long, and the generals have come to the big account of the Chinese army one after another. It can be seen that many people are still a little unsatisfied. If Song Qing orders the siege of the city now, the insurance will rush to be the first to go.
Song Qing turned a blind eye to the reaction of the generals and first discussed with Zhu Wu in a low voice the candidates for the expedition to Weizhou. The two unexpectedly thought of a person, that is, the veteran Hu Yanzhuo.
Hu Yanzhuo was also a general of the imperial court. He was good at leading troops, good at fighting, and brave and resourceful. He came to defend Weizhou, which was actually the best candidate.
After the two people's opinions were unified, Song Qing asked to call Yanzhuo.
"Old General, now there is a very important task for you"
Song Qing stood up and came to the map and pointed to Weizhou and said, "We are about to enter Laizhou. Weizhou will become the first gate for us to resist the invading enemy of Qingzhou, so I want to ask the old general to take good care of this back gate for me. I don't know if the old general is willing to go?"
This is also a heavy trust. Nowadays, from Liangshan to Deng and Laizhou, only the immediate Mizhou has not been taken, but it is obviously only a matter of the day, so there is no big threat on the way, while Weizhou is different. It will face the imperial army from Qingzhou.
Hu Yanzhuo was moved and hugged his fist and said, "Chief, but please don't worry. Hu Yanzhuo vows to protect Weizhou to the death and will never let the imperial army step into Laizhou for half a step."
Song Qing gently punched Hu Yanzhuo's armor and smiled, "What's immortal? I want you all to live well, and we also need to start a great foundation together to bless our children and grandchildren."
There are some things that need not be said too clearly. Everyone can think that they will go that way in the future.
Hu Yanzhuo left overnight with Suo Chao, Zhu Tong and 5,000 people.
Deng Shiguang, who stood on the wall and observed the Liangshan camp, knew that Weizhou was over when he saw the direction of Liangshan people marching. Because he wanted to stop Liangshan, he transferred all the people that could be mobilized in several nearby states. Except for a group of government officials to maintain public security, there were no soldiers at all. Liangshan people will not encounter any obstacles when they go here.
said to himself, Song Qing, your appetite is too big, right? Aren't you afraid of choked you?
He hated and wanted to send people to the court for help, but he couldn't get out of the city at all. Now, except for the reinforcements who do not appear from afar, all Deng Shiguang can do is to constantly inspect the officers and soldiers of the battalions.
Now the gate is besieged, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. If he doesn't look closely, maybe someone will open the gate and surrender. He told the people below that he would not surrender to the Liangshan thieves. The city is there and the people are there. The city was destroyed and people died.
Everyone is selfish. Deng Shiguang is determined to serve the country, but not everyone thinks the same as him. Moreover, he ordered the gate to close the city and lock many soldiers outside the city, allowing them to be killed or captured by Liangshan's army, which has angered many people. A plan against Deng Shiguang has been quietly launched.
In a military camp in Michigan, several officers are sitting around to discuss.
"Third brother, Deng Shiguang doesn't treat us as human beings, let's reverse it!"
"That's right, I heard that Liang Shan's good men practice the way for heaven, kill corrupt officials and kill bullies, but they don't bully the people. And I heard that the imperial court gave Deng and Lai two states to Liang Shan in recognition of their loyalty and courage. They just wanted to pass by us, but Deng Shiguang said that they wanted to rebel, which forced them to be anxious."
"Apart from these, today I have seen the prestige of Liangshan people. Can we resist that?"
A few people said a word to me. But the bearded officer always sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.
A officer finally couldn't help saying to the bearded officer, "Third brother, please say something happy!" Deng Shiguang wants to die, does he still want his brothers to be buried with him?
The bearded officer suddenly stood up and shouted, "Don't talk about it. Do you think I want to die with him? But you know that my own brother was outside the city at that time, and now his life and death are unknown. In case of being killed by Liang Shan, I won't surrender to Liang Shan.
A young officer turned his eyes and said, "Brother, if not, I will go to Liangshan Camp to explore for you. If Xiao Si is still there, we will be an insider for Liangshan. If he is not here, I will accompany you to fight with Liangshan to the end."
"Good brother"
The bearded officer patted the young officer on the shoulder.
Although there were many soldiers patrolling the city wall at night, of course, it was difficult for the insiders. Under the cover of several fellow officers, the young officers successfully overturned the wall and rushed to the Liangshan camp.
Song Qing heard that there were people coming from Michigan and intuitively told him that there was something wrong in Michigan. Immediately ordered someone to bring people in.
The young officer's name is Hu Ergou. Although he is usually quiet, he is the best at drilling. Seeing that the general trend of Michigan had gone, of course he refused to die for Michigan, and he knew that if he could help Liangshan enter the city at this time, Liangshan would definitely reuse him. As for helping the third brother find Xiao Si, it's just a trick to help them get out of the city. If Xiao Si is alive, it's best. If he dies, he will also open the gate and let Liangshan's army enter the city.
A person's good or bad can't just look at his appearance. His words and deeds, and even his eyes, can betray this person's nature.
Seeing that this person is loyal and honest, Song Qing can probably guess this person's nature. But these are not important. What matters is how he can open the gate for himself.
How can a soldier bear the power of Song Qing now? Hu Ergou knelt down directly to Song Qing, and then told him his intention.
After listening to Hu Ergou's words, Song Qing called his own soldiers and asked them to immediately go to the prisoners to find out if there was anyone named Zhao Xiaosi. Then he said to Hu Ergou with a pleasant face, "If this can be done, General Hu will be the first achievement. I don't know what General Hu wants?"
Hu Ergou, who shouted twice, kowtowed and said, "The villain dares not ask for it. After the general manager enters the city, the villain only wants to be a deputy general. In addition, the villain also wants to ask the director to grant the daughter of the magistrate to the villain."
It's really a villain, but what Song Qing needs now is this villain. He didn't even ask if the magistrate's daughter was married.
nodded and said, "If General Hu can make this wonderful contribution, I will definitely fulfill all your wishes."
Then Song Qing asked about the situation in the city, and Hu Ergou answered everything he knew one by one.
A reply made Song Qing feel relieved. This person is indeed not here to cheat.
While talking, the soldiers came to report that there was no one named Zhao Xiaosi among the prisoners, who must have died on the battlefield.
Song Qing looked at Hu Ergou, but before Song Qing could speak, Hu Ergou spoke first.
"Please rest assured, the villain knows how to say it, and he will not make others suspicious"
"Okay, then tomorrow night's third update, with fire as the number"
He ordered Hu Ergou to be sent out, and Song Qing sent someone to invite Zhu Wu and Lin Chong over.
After the two came, Song Qing told them about Hu Ergou.
Lin Chong frowned and said, "General manager, will there be fraud in this? You should know that the people in the city are not much different from us."
Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although Deng Shiguang did nothing wrong during the day, it has obviously made him lose his military heart. I think there must be many people in the city who want his head now, so this person should not be here to cheat."
looked at Song Qing and said, "Hehe! I think the general manager has made a plan in his mind, right?
Song Qing nodded and said, "If they open the gate tomorrow night, the first thing we have to do is not to rush in, but to control the gate, completely occupy the gate, and then rush inward. This is the first. Second, if they are fraudulently surrender, they will definitely ambush soldiers and horses at the gate. After testing, if there is indeed an ambush, we will sneak up other gates. As long as the gate is opened, the military heart of the court will be completely broken, and the city of Michigan will be broken."
Zhu Wu continued: "We can find a strategy of encirclement. If Deng Shiguang can run out of the chaotic army, he will never let him go."
Lin Chong saw that the arrangement was completed and wanted to ask for an order to arrest Deng Shiguang, but he was blocked back by Song Qing before the words were spoken.
"Let General Hua Rong go to ambush Deng Shiguang! The father-in-law is still the commander-in-law who is ready to meet the siege of the city at any time!"
You are my father-in-law. You have taken all the credit. What will others think?
Zhu Wu suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know if the chief has thought of giving a memorial to the court first?"
A memorial to the court?
Song Qing was stunned at first, and then understood. I can't help saying "Haha!" Laughing, isn't this the legendary villain suing first? Sure enough, he is worthy of being a magic soldier, and what he wants is to be farther than others.
