Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1111 Substitution
The city walls of Weizhou were unusually quiet late at night.

Luo Shaowei changed into an ordinary military uniform, brought a few cronies along, and sneaked to the city wall - there were already people waiting here.

To his surprise, in addition to the shogunate marching Sima Sikong and his family, there were also two generals, Wang Yuanwu and Yin Xingfang.

"Luo Shuai..." The two walked over with complicated expressions.

"Stop talking, run quickly." Luo Shaowei nodded, and went up to the top of the city first, and after negotiating softly, he descended down the city wall.

Sikong Bing also nodded, and took his eldest son up to the top of the city.As for the other family members, they have already been sent out.

Wang Yuanwu and Yin Xingfang were so ruthless that they fled alone without any of their family members.

There are sergeants guarding the city wall, the battle is strict, and there are many sentries.In the middle of the night, no one was lazy, and it seemed that military discipline was still very strict.But such a group of people actually watched Luo Shaowei, Sikong Bing and others escape.

It can't be for money, and it may not be life-saving if the money is taken.It can only be said that the two generations of Luo Hongxin and Luo Shaowei still forged some favors, and he himself is a Jiedu envoy, so it is not difficult to arrange defense.

After going down the city wall in fear, Luo Shaowei knelt on the ground, shrugging his shoulders.

Sikong Bing walked over gently and called out, "Marshal."

Luo Shaowei ignored him and twitched himself.

After a long time, everyone came down, and Luo Shaowei just got up, with tears and smiles on his face.

"Alas!" Yin Xingfang and Wang Yuanwu sighed.

They are all born and bred Wei Bowufu, but who wants to do this if there is a turning point?
They both looked back at the top of the city at the same time.

This time he fled, hiding the truth from his family and subordinates, he really didn't care about anything.

Sikong Bing also looked back.

In fact, there are only a few servants left in the house.If they knew how to do it, they would disperse after dawn after distributing the family's belongings, or they might still have a way to survive.If you haven't left after being discovered, your fate will be worrying.

"Wei Bo, it's over!" Luo Shaowei's voice was hoarse, with complicated emotions.

Once upon a time, Weibo was a banner.The imperial court had nothing to do with it, and the surrounding feudal towns had nothing to do with it. They stood proudly on their own, looked down on the four directions, and were invincible.

But the crisis was also planted at that time.

The special system allowed the soldiers to share the benefits of the development of the feudal town. They knew why they were fighting, so they worked as one, united and helped each other, ensuring the peace of Weibo for many years.

In the past, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao rebelled in Yunzhou, why didn't they develop in Hebei?Instead, we should abandon the near and seek the far, and go south to Jianghuai?Wasn't he afraid that Wei Bowufu would chop them up like melons and vegetables?
But it is also this system that, while guarding Weibo, also tightly bound it.

By now, it has grown into a monster, a monster with its own will.

Yamen soldiers form the monster’s brain, town soldiers and prefectural and county soldiers form the monster’s torso and limbs, and clique-clad warriors and former warrior families are its tentacles. No one can go against the monster’s will, not even Jiedushi. .

"I can't handle you, why don't I go?" Luo Shaowei cursed fiercely, turned his head and ran away.

"Where do the two generals want to go?" Sikong Bing turned to Yin Xingfang and Wang Yuanwu and asked.

"There's no place to go left or right, so why not follow Luo Shuai, so we can take care of him." Wang Yuanwu said tentatively.

"Let's go!" Sikong Bing nodded without refusing.

Seeing that Luo Shaowei's figure was almost gone, he immediately ran wildly and walked towards the grove.There are horses in deposit for them to escape.

Wang and Yin quickly followed.

There were still a few people in the woods, after handing over, Luo Shaowei and others rode away.

The horse guards stayed behind to clean up footprints and horseshoe marks, and then ran in another direction.

Entrusted by others, they are also responsible for being loyal to others.

"What? Luo Shaowei escaped?" Wuzang Jieming, who was on the march, was furious after receiving the news: "Let him go back!"

A phoenix without hair is not as good as a chicken, Luo Shaowei casts alone, there is a fart for it!

"Military envoy, I'm afraid it's useless to go back at this time. It's already dawn." Said Yang Can, the envoy of soldiers and horses in the left wing.

"This idiot!" Wuzang Jieming was so angry that he had nothing to say.

What a good opportunity to do meritorious service, but I gave up because I was afraid of death.

If you stay in the city and deal with the government soldiers, you may or may not die.Normal people would choose to fight for their lives in exchange for future wealth.Fortunately, you just gave up. How many people want to risk their lives but haven't had a chance.

Yang Can also sighed endlessly.

If he were Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, at this time he would lead the yamen soldiers to ransack the house, draw out the fire that might burn on himself, and use the money obtained from the house raid to buy the sergeant, so that he might have a moment of peace.

But Luo Shaowei gave up by himself, who is to blame?

"Send an order to Wang Jingluo, the light soldiers will advance quickly, and enter Bowei Prefecture, the sooner the better." No Zang Jieming ordered.

The messenger galloped out immediately.

"Send a letter to Lu Dutou, specifying the situation here." He ordered again.

Another messenger ran out.

"Let Luo Shaowei come to see me." Wuzang Jieming got off his horse and said.

Luo Shaowei, Sikong Bing and others hurried over.

"Luo Shuai, you are so confused!" Wuzang Jieming raised the whip, put it down lightly, snorted, and said, "Why did you abandon the city and run away?"

This sounds a little funny to outsiders.The enemy coach abandoned the city and fled, but the attacker was furious, and no one would believe what he said.

"General Buzang, calm down." Luo Shaowei squeezed out a smile, and complained: "The soldiers are clamoring, and I can't control it. If we drag it on, something unbearable will happen. When I leave, the market has been washed Warriors with knives and bows also broke into the quiet place of the ancient jungle temple. The monks were conscripted into the army, and the Buddha statues and bronze bells were melted down. The army’s desires are hard to fill. Wait until tomorrow, God knows what will happen.”

"If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death. Why do you say so much?" Wuzang Jieming sneered.

After all, he didn't regard Luo Shaowei as one of his own, so he naturally wanted to squeeze out his last penny, who knew that he would quit.

"It's absurd not to have a hidden general." Sikong Bing came up and said with a smile: "Luo Shuai escaped from the owl's nest, and with a useful body, he said that he would surrender to Zhucheng for the son of the summer. Isn't it heaven's praise? The ten generals of the king of Bozhou are Luo Cousin Shuai, with three thousand soldiers in his hand. Others persuaded him to surrender, but the result is hard to say. As soon as Luo Shuai’s letter arrives, he will surely surrender. The envoy of Lu Zhen in Wei County was once a servant of the Luo family.

The name of the "ten generals of the king" is Wang Ju.His father was former shogunate Biezuo Wang Zhiyan, Luo Hongxin's brother-in-law, who just passed away last winter.

The name of "Lu Zhenshi" was Lu Zhu, and he was said to be a servant of the Luo family, but he was actually a small family soldier raised by Luo Hongxin in the countryside of Yuancheng County.

Persuading these two people to surrender is actually not as easy as Sikong Bing said, and they may not agree.However, the situation is different now, and the possibility of persuading the surrender is greatly increased, because no one is a fool.

Wuzang Jieming restrained his anger a little after hearing this, and said, "Then let's quickly persuade you to surrender. After surrendering, drive to the city of Weizhou, and let the gang of stubborn thieves take a good look."

"Of order." Sikong Bing smiled openly.

"Follow... obey orders." Luo Shaowei also bowed his head in response.

******
On the seventh day of February in the second year of Jianji, the city of Weizhou was in chaos.

The news of Luo Shaowei's family fleeing spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the city.

It was not the first time for Wei Bo that Jiedu envoys ran away.But this time things were more troublesome. The Xia army besieged the city on a large scale, but in the end there was no one to call the shots. It was going to end!
Cheng Gongzuo, the commander of the Pingnandu, was immediately invited to the Duyu Housi.

To be honest, he was a little confused.

I was unhappy last night and drank with people until late at night.In the morning, he was still sleeping soundly at home, when the sergeant broke in, pulled him up from the bed, and "hugged" him all the way to the Duyu Housi.

"What? Luo Shuai ran away?" Cheng Gongzuo was very surprised when he heard the news, and he suddenly sobered up.

After inquiring again, it turned out that the soldiers and servants of the Luo Mansion dispersed before dawn with all their bags.Some people thought it was strange, went in and saw that Luo Mansion was empty.

This is so special!

Cheng Gongzuo was a little dizzy, he ran so fast!

"Where's Wang Yuanwu? Where's Yin Xingfang?" Cheng Gongzuo asked.

"Run away!" A soldier gritted his teeth and said.

"It should be running with Luo Shaowei."

"The family members are still there, but the person has disappeared, so cruel."

"This kind of waste, who ran away in battle, no wonder he was invincible in many battles."

Cheng Gongzuo was heartbroken when he heard it, and at the same time he was a little envious.Why did you drink last night?Wouldn't it be nice to run with them?
"Commander Cheng, there are not many generals in the Yamen. How about I wait for the public to recommend you as Jiedushi?"

The tone was asking, but Cheng Gongzuo is also an old Wei Bo, how could he not know the pros and cons?These grandsons have appointed me as Jiedushi by default.

"Shi Renyu is a veteran general in the battlefield. You should send people to Guantao as soon as possible, invite him back, and worship him as Jiedu envoy." Cheng Gongzuo said.

Obviously, he didn't want to be Jiedushi.

"General Cheng, Wei Bo is in trouble, and you're just watching?" Someone said angrily.

"What am I capable of?" Cheng Gongzuo shook his head and said, "When General Shi was the general of the Yamen, I was still a deputy general, whether it is appropriate or not."

"Kill him!" The yamen soldiers stopped talking nonsense and rushed forward, raising their knives and dropping them.

Cheng Gongzuo was about to say something, but it was too late, he was injured several times in an instant, and hid behind the pillar screaming.

The two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, raised their knives and slashed across.

Cheng Gongzuo tried his best to dodge, but his calf was stabbed with a knife, bleeding profusely.

Several people rushed over and chopped it into a meat paste.

"Find someone again!" said a small school.

"Bring a gong, shout along the street, and ask who is willing to be Jiedushi." Someone added.

"Okay!" Everyone's plan has been decided, and they are about to split up and act, when there is a noise outside the door.

"Commander Liang is here." It turned out to be another group of soldiers, "embracing" Commander Liang Huaijin of the decisive victory capital.

Everyone was overjoyed and stepped forward to surround Liang Huaijin.

"The enemy is at hand, please ask Commander Liang to be the Jiedu envoy." The sergeants asked one after another.

Liang Huaijin already knew about the changes in the city, and when she saw Cheng Gongzuo's unrecognizable corpse, she said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the sergeants didn't care.

A group of people hugged him to Hu's bed, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, then retreated, bowing down one after another: "See Shuai Liang."

Liang Huaijin was speechless for a long time.
