Chapter 24 Forced to Liangshan 2
Wu Xiang can be said to be in a dilemma about the persuasion of Jiannu, and he still can't finally make up his mind, but he also knows that it is not a way to keep these Jiannu envoys in the city. Anyway, he still has to send these people out of the customs first. Otherwise, once there is any difference, he may break this road!
So after thinking about it again and again, he ordered his cronies to send these envoys out of the customs first and asked them to inform Dorcon. If he would allow him to think about this matter for another two days, he would definitely give Dorcon a reply.
So the cronies immediately went out of the house to secretly arrange for these slave envoys to go out of the customs, and personally took more than a dozen Wu's family members to escort them out of the customs.
Not long after dawn, the group escorted these envoys of Jiannu to the north gate of Shanhaiguan. More than a dozen families surrounded these Jiannu envoys and rode to the door. Wu Xiang's cronies held Wu Xiang's arrow and came to the door and shouted to the soldiers guarding the customs: "We are waiting for Wu Junmen. General, send these people out of the customs. Why don't you open and close the door quickly?
At this time, Zhao Tong slowly came from the side of the door, with a smile on his face and a flattering look. He held his fist at this Wu Xiang's trusted man and said, "I don't know if my brother came to Taiwan. I hope he will forgive me!" Today, Xiao is on duty here. At present, the slave army is outside the customs. The small has to be careful. I hope that the brother can let the small test take a look at the arrow. Please forgive me!"
This Wu Xiang's subordinate is not familiar with Zhao Tong. He seems to have seen him in one or two, and he is very low official rank. He doesn't like him very much. He snorted coldly and shakes the arrow in his hand and said, "I'm presumptuous, I'm under the military account. How can this arrow be fake? Do you see it clearly? Don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly!"
Zhao Tong took a fake look and showed a frightened expression. He quickly pleaded guilty and waved his men to open and close the door. At the same time, he repeatedly asked Wu Xiang's men to come aside for a moment, and separated the servants he had escorted the envoys of the Jiannu from these Jiannu envoys.
Seeing this place, as long as the door is closed, these Jiannu envoys can leave here. Wu Xiang's men also relaxed their vigilance, and they saw that Zhao Tong was quite interesting, so he didn't care much. He hugged the envoys of Jiannu and said, "I can only send you here. It's a good journey after you get out of the customs! I won't send it!"
These envoys of the construction slaves have been very nervous since they entered the customs, and this time they went back, they were still a little annoyed. Wu Xiang did not make up their mind in the end. After going back, they were not easy to explain to Dorgo, but Wu Xiang surrendered or did not, and they could not make the decision. They all did what they should say. After that, as for how Wu Xiang finally chooses, there is nothing they can do, but it is not a safe thing to stay here now. Once Wu Xiang is determined not to turn to their slaves, once they turn against each other, their heads will be the best sacrifice to the flag. Now it is still the most important thing to go out first. The matter.
When it came to the door, they could finally rest assured at this moment. As long as the door was closed, they could get out of here. Outside was their territory, so they didn't have to worry about it anymore. So even these Jiannu saw the flattery of the Ming army guarding the door and relaxed.
The door was slowly opened by the soldiers, and the envoys also said goodbye. They rode to the door one by one. Soon after, they walked to the door, that is, at this time, suddenly from the dark place inside the door, only sounded. There was a sound of the crossbow strings.
Several powerful crossbows cut through the darkness in the blink of an eye. Before these Jiannu reacted, they nailed them into their bodies fiercely. Several Jiannu immediately screamed and scolded. The leading envoy was not a person who could carry a knife in battle, and there was no armor on his body, which was even more important. The object of the photo, even if he was hit by several arrows and fell under the horse, a strong arrow was directly nailed to his throat, and it was not alive.
Instead, several of his attendants were tough people. Everyone was covered with a leather armor in his coat. Although he was also hit by a crossbow, he did not fall under the horse. At this time, there was a roar in the gate: "Do you still want to run? How will our military lords surrender to you to build slaves? Let's get off the horse and die!"
After the roar, several officers and soldiers killed out of the shadow and rushed to these Jiannu envoys. The attendants of several Jiannu envoys were all shocked and angry. They immediately pulled out their knives and began to defend themselves. They killed the Ming officers and soldiers who attacked them in the gate of the city gate. One of them used Jiannu. The words made several of his men resist desperately, and he saw that the gate had opened a crack, allowing him to rush through one by one, so he poked the horse's buttocks with a short knife. The war horse immediately gave a sad hiss, rushed to the door in an instant, and rushed out of the gap in the door in a blink of an instant.
But the remaining attendants had no chance. As soon as they closed the door, they began to be closed, and they were blocked in the door. Although they also tried their best to resist, the guys who did not take advantage of their hands, under the siege of a group of Ming officers and soldiers, were stabbed with long spears and knives, and soon they were all The slaughter was in the doorway.
Wu Xiang's cronies, who was responsible for escorting these Jiannu envoys, never thought of a sudden change at this time. He was stunned for a moment and shouted at the officers and soldiers who attacked and killed the Jiannu envoys: "Don't..."
At this time, Zhao Tong also suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "We are the people of Daming, how can we surrender to Jiannu!" Today's thing is what Zhao did to kill all these envoys! Kill it!"
Before the dozens of householders in Wu Xiang's mansion were rescued, these Jiannu were quickly slaughtered in the gate cave, but they had to admit the fierceness of Jiannu. Although the incident was sudden, they were hit first. In addition, they were all short knives in hand and had no weapons to take advantage of, but they were facing these Ming officers and soldiers. During the raid, they killed several officers and soldiers before they died. The whole gate hole was in a mess, but one of them finally escaped from the gate. The Jiannu, who escaped from the gate, had a crossbow arrow on his body, like a bereaved dog, fled to the camp of Jiannu outside the customs.
After these Wu family members rushed into the city gate, it was too late. These family members were so angry that they didn't know what to do for a while.
And Zhao Tong saw that he had won, so he also lost his waist knife and sneered at those Wu family, "Okay! Now you can take me to Wu Junmen. Everything here is arranged by me, Zhao. They all obey my orders and have nothing to do with these soldiers!"
In fact, what he said is equivalent to not saying that all those who are involved in today's affairs are people who have a deep blood feud with Jiannu like Zhao Tong. These people listen to Zhao Tong. They only know that today Zhao Tong wants to kill the tartar and forces Wu Xiang not to surrender to Jiannu, so they participate in this matter regardless. In fact, the vast majority of people do not know that Zhao Tong is now a member of the Dazhong Army.
Seeing that things have come to this point, Wu Xiang's cronies are so angry that there is nothing he can do. The big mistake has been made, and the dead Jiannu envoys can't be saved. He doesn't have many people on hand, and he is really afraid to catch everyone, and Zhao Tong is at least wise. They were embarrassed by the Wu family and were willing to follow them to meet Wu Xiang, so they had to tie up Zhao Tong and take him back to Wu's house.
Those Zhao Tong's brothers saw that Zhao Tong was going to be kidnapped. They had red eyes and wanted to save Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Today's matter is my Zhao's order. I have nothing to do with you. What's more, we are all Han people. We can't fight in the nest here and leave this life, and wait for the slave to attack the city. Wait, kill a few more Jiannu. Even if Zhao is killed by Wu Junmen, he can still smile!"
Everyone saw that Zhao Tong was so indifferent, so they had to obey their orders. They knelt down to see Zhao Tong being taken away by Wu Xiang's family. They even called Zhao Tong a good man.
When Wu Xiang learned that Jiannu was attacked and killed in the gate by the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. At that time, he panicked, so he quickly asked the details of the family who came back to report. When he learned that a Jiannu's envoy had escaped from the gate, he was even more angry. What's the matter? Since this group of chaotic officers and soldiers are going to kill, why don't you kill all these envoys and let one go? I'm afraid that the escaped Jiannu will soon report to the slave chief. At this time, he will not have any delay.
Nowadays, these turbulent soldiers are equivalent to forcing him to a dead end. When Jiannu's side learns that their envoys were killed in the customs, they will definitely not believe that he will surrender. I'm afraid that he will launch a siege immediately. Unless he surrenders from the city now, he will only lead his troops to fight to the end with Jiannu here.
But now he also understands that if he wants to surrender immediately, many of his generals will not follow him to surrender to Jiannu. Whether he can order the whole army to surrender at that time is a problem. If he is not careful, he may not even be able to save his life. These officials who attacked and killed the envoys of Jiannu at the gate. The soldier fully explained the problem. Many soldiers will hate Jiannu. Even if he is determined to surrender to Jiannu, I'm afraid he will not be able to do this.
So he was so angry that he ordered the first criminal Zhao Tong to be exhaled immediately, but before the family did it, a householder ran in and reported to Wu Xiang that many soldiers in Shanhaiguan had learned the news and shouted that Zhao Tong would not die, and many officers and soldiers shouted that once Wu Xiang was If they kill Zhao Tong, they will immediately turn against it.
(Today, I thank Yu Zhongchen and the brave 1023 brothers for their rewards!)
