Chapter 2486 Waiting for Li Mu to take the initiative to open the city to surrender

Chapter 2482 : Wait for Li Mu to open the city and surrender
Jiang Shang knows that Tu Xingsun is unreliable, but he still has to rely on Tu Xingsun. After all, there is no other way to send him out of the city except his earth movement skills.

In order to make Tu Xingsun obedient, Jiang Shang had to use some low-handed means to put a poison in Tu Xingsun's food as a threat, and at the same time promised that he would not only set him free after leaving the city, but also let him go. detoxify it.

For this, Tu Xingsun was about to cry, but he never expected that before the curse mark on his body was removed, he would be poisoned by another kind of poison.

In order to save his life, Tu Xingsun had no choice but to listen to Jiang Shang obediently, and sent Jiang Shang out of the city with land skills.

Before Jiang Shang left, he also found Li Mu, Yang Jian, Yang Ren and Wu Ji, and told them not to leave the city.

"Uncle, Junior Brother Tu Xingsun is not honest, why don't you let the disciple go with you."

Yang Ren said worriedly.

Jiang Shang smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, the old man has his own means to make Tu Xingsun obedient."

Hearing this, Yang Ren stopped trying to persuade him. After all, even Jiang Shang couldn't think of things that he could think of, and since he dared to go out of the city with Tu Xingsun alone, he must have some perfect plan.

Before leaving, Jiang Shang gave Wu Ji a wink, and Wu Ji realized it in an instant. The master was telling him not to be brave, and if he really couldn't hold on, he would surrender directly. The most important thing is to survive.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Shang was wearing clothes that were convenient for walking on the ground, and behind a helmet with a strange shape that was convenient for breathing underground, he was carried by Tu Xingsun into the soil.

Even though Jiang Shang has lived for so long, this is the first time he has experienced escape.

To be honest, the speed of Tu Xingsun's escape was not fast, and Jiang Shang was extremely unaccustomed to the darkness and humidity of the underground.

Even though Jiang Shang was already wearing the protective gear, and Tu Xingsun also used the inner air gauze to protect his whole body, he still grinned in pain under the pressure of the sand and stones coming from him.

After a full night of excavation, Tu Xingsun finally took Jiang Shang to dig from the inside of Baling City to the outside of the city, and even crossed the encirclement circle of the Qin Army.

After Jiang Shang returned to the ground, his face was already pale, but because of the mud, it was pitch black, and his body was covered with mud, so he didn't have the slightest demeanor of a Taoist master.

It was extremely difficult for Jiang Shang to spend most of the night underground.

Not to mention the dark and humid environment underground and how painful the terrain process is, the most important thing is that the air underground is extremely thin.

Jiang Shang thought more than once that his old bones would not be able to hold on anymore, but he managed to survive.

Jiang Shang was in a bad state at this time, and Tu Xingsun Yungong helped him to soothe it, and his complexion improved a lot.

"Uncle, Nephew, I have already brought you out of Baling City as agreed, so you should also keep your promise."

Tu Xingsun rubbed his fingers, and asked cheekily, after all, this is a matter of his own life.

"Take it."

Jiang Shang didn't talk nonsense, took out a jade bottle from his arms, threw it to Tuxing, and said, "This is the antidote, just swallow it."

After Tu Xingsun took it, he immediately swallowed the pills in the medicine bottle, and at the same time practiced his skills to expel the poison.

When he felt that the poison in his body was gone, Tu Xingsun's face suddenly revealed a fierce light, he sneered at Jiang Shang after all, and said, "Jiang Shishu, let me go to Qinying with my nephew."

Hearing this, Jiang Shang asked with a smile instead: "Why, you want to exchange this old man for military merit?"

"Because of your intervention, the disciple failed to kill Li Mu, the governor of Wu Qi will definitely suspect that the disciple is pretending to surrender, so I can only trouble the uncle to explain it for the disciple."

As he said that, Tu Xingsun was ready to make a move and forcibly helped Jiang Shang, but before he touched Jiang Shang, he felt unbearable pain in his stomach, so painful that he couldn't stand up, and kept beating on the ground. Get up and roll.

Jiang Shang walked up to Tu Xingsun with a smile, and said, "Nephew Tu Xingsun, why don't you think about my uncle, why dare you give you the antidote?"

Enduring the abdominal pain, Tu Xingsun asked with difficulty, "Is there poison in the antidote?"

"There is no poison in the antidote, but there is Gu, have you heard of the mother-child Gu?
The child Gu has been eaten by you, and the mother Gu is here with the old man, as long as the old man activates the mother Gu, the child Gu will bite in your body until it devours your internal organs. "

Hearing this, Tu Xingsun was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and even wanted to die.

Whether it is Wu Qi or Jiang Shangquan, they are all the same. These two old silver coins really counted him to death.

Tu Xingsun resisted the pain in his abdomen, knelt down and begged: "I beg my uncle to spare my life, I will never dare again, just now I was deceived by lard, so I offended my uncle, I really will never again Dare..."

Seeing this, Jiang Shang smiled slightly, and stopped urging the mother Gu, and the pain in Tu Xingsun's abdomen gradually disappeared.

"Please ask my nephew to be the old man's guard for two days."

Jiang Shang squinted his eyes and said with a smile. In Tu Xingsun's eyes, this expression was even scarier than a demon.

At the same time, Wu set up camp.

"Lord Inspector, the fifty patrols sent out have returned one after another, but no traces of Jiang Shang and Tu Xingsun have been found." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Sure enough, Jiang Shang ran away." Wu Qi sighed softly.

"That guy Tu Xingsun dared to betray Daqin, he will definitely kill him next time we meet." Huang Tianxiang said angrily.

Wu Qi shook his head and said: "Betrayal is not enough, he dare not, it should be controlled by Jiang Shang, and he has to cooperate with Jiang Shang."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Send cavalry to pursue the road from Baling to Chang'an, and pass the news of Jiang Shang's escape from Baling to the Deputy Commander Wang Jian through the letter of the flying pigeon."

"promise."

Regardless of whether Jiang Shang is in Baling or not, it has little impact on Wu Qi, because he has already found a way to defeat the enemy.

The news of the defeat of Haojing, the riots in Chang'an, and the news of the destruction of Yang's family, the defenders in Baling City probably didn't know about it.

Li Shimin absolutely did not dare to disclose the news, and would try every means to block the news.

Therefore, Wu Qi can use this information to attack the morale of the defenders in the city and kill them.

He didn't believe that Yang Jian would remain indifferent after learning the news that the Yang family had been destroyed.

Early the next morning, a large number of Qin troops gathered under the city of Baling.

The defenders on the city thought that the Qin army was here to attack the city, but they didn't expect that they were just scolding and fighting outside the city.

"The defenders in the city, you don't know, just yesterday, the [-] troops of your Tang Gong Li Shimin were defeated by Wang Jian's [-] cavalry in Gaojing. The defeat was miserable..."

"And the day before yesterday, in order to suppress the rebellion of several families, the Tang army killed all the great families in the city, including the Yang family, killing a total of 10,000+ people..."

"Yang Jian, you worked hard for Li Shimin on the front line, but your family was wiped out by your own people. Don't you think you are ridiculous..."

……

Thousands of soldiers of the Qin Army shouted outside Baling City all morning, and they summed up nothing more than three things.

1. Li Shimin lost the battle in Haojing.

2. A riot broke out in Chang'an, killing 10,000+ people;

3. The Yang family of the fourth generation and the third father was exterminated.

Regarding these three pieces of news, the soldiers at the bottom all sneered at them, thinking that Qin Jun's estrangement plan was too fake and outrageous.

In the battle of Haojing, Li Shimin personally led [-] Tang troops, but lost to Wang Jian's [-] Qin troops?
how can that be.

My lord, Li Shimin, is a well-known general in the world, and Wang Jian is just an unknown old man, how could he lose if he beat [-] against [-]?

As for the riot in Chang'an, 10,000+ people died?Even the Yang family was wiped out?

This is even more impossible.

In short, for these three pieces of news, the soldiers at the bottom did not believe any of them.

But after getting into the ears of high-level generals, it is not the case at all. After all, any of these three pieces of news is a bolt from the blue.

Li Mu, Yang Jian, Li Zuoche, Wu Ji and other high-ranking generals all knew the news that Li Shimin urgently summoned Jiang Shang to lead Chang'an. If combined with the news spread by the Qin army, the authenticity would be greatly improved.

If the defeat of Haojing was true, then the military strength in Chang'an City would definitely drop, obviously they would not be able to hold on for long, so what's the point of their persistence in Baling?
If a riot really broke out and 10,000+ people died, would there be any of their family members among them?

For a while, all the generals of Baling, including Li Mu, were in chaos due to the news of the Qin army.

Many generals from aristocratic families organized a group to forcibly break into the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that Li Mu would give them an explanation.

In this regard, what can Li Mu do?It can only be said that Qin Jun was deliberately spreading messages and tried his best to appease these generals.

It's easy to lie to others, but hard to lie to yourself.

Li Mu couldn't deceive himself and others, he was full of pessimism about whether Ba Ling could keep it.

The fact that several generals organized a group to forcibly break into the city lord's mansion was spread quickly in Baling City under the deliberate spread of the spies of the Qin army.

The soldiers who had originally sneered at the three news could not help but start to waver, and began to discuss each other in the army, and the morale of the army also showed signs of instability.

After Li Mu learned about it, he killed dozens of chattering soldiers in a row. While announcing that it was fake news, he ordered the soldiers not to discuss it in private. Only then did he manage to control the situation.

The mouth of defending the people is better than that of defending the river.

The more Li Mu didn't let the soldiers talk about it, the more he was suspected of being a thief. Although the soldiers didn't dare to say it, they were clear in their hearts.

The morale of the Baling defenders was gradually crumbling amidst the silence.

"Lord Inspector, your strategy of punishing the heart is useless. According to my old grandson, let's attack directly." Sun Lingming said.

Wu Qi said with a smile: "This governor doesn't think so, our army doesn't need to attack Ba Ling anymore."

"If you don't attack the city, do you still wait for Li Mu to take the initiative to open the city and surrender?" Sun Lingming asked in confusion.

"That's right, Li Mu will open the city and surrender in a short time. He has no other choice." Wu Qi sneered.

Sun Lingming and the other generals looked at each other when they heard the words, apparently not believing that Li Mu would surrender.

Wu Qi didn't explain too much about this, and everyone will naturally know it by then. Facts speak louder than words.

----------

In a certain cellar in Chang'an, Ban Chao, Yuhuatian, and Li Si, the three culprits who disturbed Chang'an, gathered together again.

"General Wang Jian intercepted Li Shimin's message. Li Shimin wanted to call Jiang Shang back to Chang'an to help him solve this mess." Yu Huatian said in a deep voice.

Ban Chao and Li Si looked at each other when they heard the words, and sneers flashed across the corners of their mouths.

Under their scourge, today's Chang'an is a dilapidated ship with too many holes, no matter how they are repaired, they cannot be filled.

Li Shimin couldn't solve the problem by himself, and wanted to rely on Jiang Shang, an outsider?You don't need to think about it to know that this is absolutely impossible. It is obvious that Li Shimin has already gone to the doctor in a hurry.

"The message from Commander Wang Jian told me that I can remind you to raise an incident when necessary," Ban Chao said.

Li Si Zelu looked surprised, and said: "Plan ahead? It's a bit early."

Their original plan was to launch a mutiny inside Chang'an after the main force of the Qin army surrounded Chang'an, seize the city gate, let the Qin army enter the city, attack from inside and outside, and capture Chang'an city in one fell swoop, Dingdingguanzhong.

Although the Qin army's battle in Guanzhong is going smoothly, Li Tang has only two cities left in just half a month, and Li Shimin has been defeated in Baling, but the main force of [-] Sizhou has only arrived in Baling after all. Has not yet reached the city of Chang'an.

If you launch a mutiny at this time, although you can still succeed, there may be certain hidden dangers, and you will not be able to do your best.

"It's getting late, this time Gaojing was defeated, and the strength of the Tang army was greatly reduced.

Now there are only [-] defeated troops left in Chang'an City, [-] defenders in the four gates and four battalions, [-] elite troops, and [-] new recruits recruited at [-] hours, a total of more than [-] defenders, and most of them have low morale.

With the power in our hands, it is enough to overthrow Chang'an, and there is no need for the main force to arrive.

Of course, to be on the safe side, if it can be carried out according to the original plan, there is no need to advance it, but if Li Shimin finds out, we can't be unprepared in advance. "Ban Chao said with a straight face.
