Chapter 756 Defeating the Enemy Camp

On the upper floor of the west gate of Tongguan, Mao Yi'er looked back and saw a group of soldiers rushing in through the door.

The knife and gun were shining brightly, which made his heart beat endlessly.

"General?!"

"you……"

"Who dares to tie up the general?"

When a soldier rushed forward to help him, Mao Yi'er lowered his head again, only to realize that he had been stabbed twice in the stomach and was still bleeding.

It was also because I was too excited just now, and I didn't feel the pain until now.

"City gate," Mao Yi'er said while clutching his stomach, "The city gate hasn't opened yet, has it?"

"We're going to open the city gate."

"What?" Mao Yi'er was stunned.

However, the soldier who spoke had a dark complexion and a simple expression, and he repeated a sentence seriously.

"Let's open the city gate now, general."

Mao Yi'er's heart sank, it was because of that simple face that he felt a little scary.

He was about to pounce on it again, when the next sentence fell on his ears.

"General, Lou Dutou said whether it is appropriate to wait until dawn to open the city gate? Although it is an order from the county king, it is appropriate to confirm it?"

"What? Reinforcements are coming?" Mao Yi'er looked at the corpse on the ground and murmured, "Why bother?"

The soldier understood what was going on, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say, so he straightened his back and responded loudly.

"Report to the general! Reinforcements are coming!"

……

It was bright daylight, and a large beam was pulled away from the gate of Huaiyuan in the western city.

The sand and stone rolled down "shua la la", and the soldiers stepped forward to lift the stone away, revealing the smashed flesh and bones below.

"vomit!"

"Have you vomited? Bury it with sand, I didn't see you vomit when you killed people in the city yesterday."

"It's not the same. When I killed the enemy, my brain was hot. Seeing him today... vomit..."

"Hey, those who were crushed to death by cannon stones were blocked under the city gate before they could be pulled out."

"Move quickly, let reinforcements into the city! What are you doing lying there?!"

The soldiers lying on the ground vomiting quickly got up, continued to remove wood and stones, and slowly opened the city gate.Soon, groups of soldiers entered the city.

Mao Yi'er looked up and saw that the big banner was erected on the top of Tongguan City, and he finally settled down.

The tense nerves were only relaxed at this time, and suddenly felt weak all over, and almost fell to the ground.

When I met Li Xia today, and talked about all kinds of guarding Tongguan this time, Mao Yi'er reported the betrayal of Niu Ping and Mao Wu again, and the more he talked, the more he felt heartbroken.

"The last general doesn't understand... how can they be enlightened? One saved me, and the other is from my hometown. It's not like this on weekdays..."

"A man doesn't flick his tears easily, why cry?"

"There are traitors in the army of the last general... They were not cowards before, it's because I didn't manage the army well..."

"Of course it's impossible for everyone to accompany us in this kind of battle against the wind. That's why we say that the wind knows the strength of the grass. The rootless grass that can be blown away by the wind will be blown away."

Mao Yi'er was stunned for a moment, his eyes were quite blank.

"Blow it away, blow it away" is easy to say, but it is not so easy to get over it in my heart after killing Pastor Pao Ze.

Li Xia patted Mao Yi'er on the shoulder, and praised him a few words.

"You did a good job and took root in the strong wind. You are not only a strong grass, but also a pillar."

~~
In the tent, Liu Zheng stared at Liu Yuan in a daze, unable to believe it for a long time.

He knew that since Li Xia had returned from Wuguan, he could defeat Liu Yuan... There were too many reasons, Liu Yuan had already gone deep into the army alone, and only [-] troops were blocked in the enemy's territory, waiting to see Li Xia's attack. Soldiers and horses, and knowing that the main force going to Chang'an has been defeated, the morale of the army will be in chaos.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Liu Zheng expressed his willingness to persuade this army to surrender.He didn't want to see his son fight to the death with his subordinates, even if Li Xia didn't agree to use him again.

But he never expected that Liu Yuan would lose so quickly.

"How come? Li Xia hasn't taken me to the front of the army to threaten Yu You, why are you..."

Liu Yuan had knelt down in front of Liu Zheng's body, looking at Liu Zheng's injuries, he burst into tears.

The Song army soldiers behind him ignored them and let the father and son talk.

Afterwards, Liu Yuan mentioned why he was captured so quickly, and he just reprimanded him.

"Father, there are traitors in the army!"

"..."

"Baby is incompetent. Not long after setting up camp in the west of Tongguan, he received an urgent letter from his second brother, saying that Xia Yangdu was attacked by the Song army, and Xia Yangdu was lost before he sent troops to support him. Since he had no way of retreating, Hai'er had no choice but to attack Tongguan. Attacking Tongguan from the west quickly cut off the connection between Tongguan and the Twelve City. Until five days ago, Marshal Dong sent a letter saying that Jindou Pass had been taken from the east. I thought Tongguan could be broken immediately... "

"Then?"

"The day before yesterday, the third brother led the remnant soldiers back to the camp suddenly. Yan's father was ambushed by the Song army in Huazhou and surrounded by Huashan Valley. I asked the fourth brother to bring half of the troops to support..."

When Liu Zheng heard this, he was furious.

He wanted to scold Li Xia for being extremely shameless, but in the end he couldn't.

"Gai'er, how is he...?"

"I don't know." Liu Yuan said, "The third brother led the fourth brother to Huashan Valley and never came back. That night, our camp was surrounded by the Song army. I didn't know how many people there were, but I only knew that there were people in all directions. Yes. I don't know the terrain in Guanzhong, and I don't know how to break through..."

"Besieged for one day, is it defeated?"

Liu Yuan said: "There are traitors in the army, they suddenly arrested me last night, it must be instigated by the wounded left by the third brother."

"Who?!"

Liu Zheng shouted, and the majesty of General Changsheng flashed in his eyes.

The old unit under his command, from the beginning in the camp of defeating the enemy, to the support in Sichuan, and then to the north to go to Mongolia...has always been regarded by him as the elite of his confidants. It is hard to imagine that anyone would dare to touch his eldest son.

But Liu Yuan didn't answer right away, just shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's not some generals. It's just some small soldiers. Father doesn't know their names."

As soon as Liu Zheng heard it, he knew that Liu Yuan had lied here and covered it up for those people.

It was difficult to say whether Liu Yuan was detained or persuaded at that time.

Liu Zheng finally sighed, raised his eyes and glanced at the soldiers guarding them, then looked at Liu Yuan, and asked, "Are you under Li Xia's command?"

"No."

"What do you mean? Why not."

"Li Xia only asked me to come to see my father, saying that because my father had made great contributions to the country, he allowed us to be reunited..."

Liu Zheng was surprised: "He doesn't need you to lead the army?"

Liu Yuan stared blankly at the gangrene on Liu Zheng's leg, and replied, "My child would like to be filial at his father's knee, and be a commoner from now on..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zheng was already furious, and shouted: "He doesn't need my Liu family father and son to lead the army, so don't even think about getting involved in my Liu family's soldiers!"

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the tent.

"Start camp! Bring them into Tongguan in batches!"

Liu Zheng suddenly turned his head, only to realize that he was indeed near Tongguan.

"You don't need me, Deng Zhou is brave, he can't subdue him..."

~~
Tongguan.

On the tower, Yang Ben took a booklet, ticked it, and introduced a captured general who was taken to the tower.

"He Tai, one of the Twelve Heroes who took Xinyang with Liu Zheng back then, the official served as the deputy commander, and after defecting, he was appointed as the Mongolian thousand households, and was given a silver medal. He is the oldest among the seven thousand households in the enemy camp..."

Not long after, the conversation between Li Xia and the other party sounded.

"Salary, family and other practical issues have been recorded before, do you still have questions?"

"Thank you, the king. There is another matter, please don't blame the king. The criminal still wants to fight with Liu Shuai, so I implore the king to allow Liu Shuai to serve. He has been in charge of the military talisman all his life, and he is really not used to leaving it. If you come back, the injury will be healed. And the criminal will not abandon him."

"In the past two years, I have often thought about the criteria for surrendering. The difficulty lies in our era. One is the disaster of southerners returning to the south and northerners returning to the north; How do you measure the difference between extenuating' and 'unforgivable'?"

"Naturally, he is not allowed to slaughter the city."

"Kublai Khan attacked Ezhou and ordered Qiu to commit no crimes, but Liu Zheng entered Guanzhong but slaughtered innocent people."

"Junwang Mingjian, after breaking through Xiayang County, it wasn't Liu Shuai who ordered the massacre of the city."

"But he's the commander in chief."

"In war, it is unavoidable to rely on the enemy for food. It is a common thing. Moreover, Liu Shuai has no control over this matter. It is precisely because of this that he leads the army."

"Yes, it is common for the enemy to supply food. I took cavalry to Dengzhou a while ago. Because Dengzhou borders me, I can send troops to attack it from Hanshui and Wuguan Road, and then surround it to help. First take the leader. But I just couldn’t think of a way to attack Luoyang and Kaifeng. Liu Zheng led the [-] Tan Ma Red Army and went straight to Chang’an. How do you plan to break the city? Do you have a plan?”

"This……"

"Is it intended to drive tens of thousands of people to attach themselves, build artillery carts, and refine corpse oil?"

He Tai bowed his head and was silent for a while.

Li Xia asked, "Did you know that when the Mongols refined corpse oil, the people thrown into the oil pan were still alive?"

"Liu Shuai didn't really do that, the county king stopped him."

"So I haven't killed him yet." Li Xia said, "But you want me to use him?"

"I implore the county king to forgive me, Liu Shuai can't do anything, he is under the command of the Mongols..."

"Everyone else is trying to find a way, but Liu Zheng can't do anything? It's the same surrender. Yang Dayuan killed the Mongolian envoys and held on to Dahuo City until he couldn't hold it anymore. He surrendered to save the people in the city. What about Liu Zheng? The situation is not yet clear. At worst, take the initiative to kill and surrender."

"Liu Shuai just expected to calculate further than others. The reason why he voluntarily surrendered was because Song Ting was too suspicious and Lu Wende forced him, so he had no choice but to..."

"He can surrender, but the question is what to do after he surrenders. How many northerners have worked hard for many years to persuade Kublai Khan to stop killing. And Liu Zheng brought the Mongolian people to fight Caogu? After that, he had no regrets and kept talking to Kublai Khan. I said talent, wronged?"

"Because Liu Shuai is too wronged!"

"Is he the only one in the whole world who is wronged?! The massacre of all the people in Shu is not as good as being wronged by suspicion?!"

After seeing many generals of the Knee Enemy camp in succession, Li Xia finally lost his temper.

"He can be wronged and angry. I can understand that he betrayed the Song Dynasty and surrendered to Mongolia, but he can't just be wronged and angry. Because he was angry at Song Ting, who suspected him, he turned around and took the Mongolian to stab innocent people... Do you think so?"

He Taiben had something else to say, but after hearing this, he still responded, "No."

Li Xia nodded, a little more solemnly.

"I discussed with Liu Zheng a few days ago. I said that we need an orderly, unified, and strong country to avoid the tragedy of being massacred in Shu, and to avoid the plight of the northerners being homeless...Other The point of contention between the Northerners and me is only who will build this country.

Liu Zheng is different, Liu Zheng only cares about himself.He was aggrieved and kept saying that Song Ting forced him to be like this.Maybe, Song Ting also thought about killing me.But now I don't have time to deal with the grievances brought by Song Ting.

The important thing is, how many of them are like this?How many more people can build a nation with us?It's easy to be extreme, but it's hard to do things.Especially hard and difficult careers, people without faith can't do it. "

At this point, Li Xia looked at He Tai and asked another question.

"What about you? Do you care more about your grievances? Or do you want to live in a country that belongs to both the northerners and the southerners, and can protect the people from being slaughtered...or even better?"

Li Xia seemed to be asking He Tai.

It seems to be asking about defeating the enemy camp.

It seems to be asking all the North returnees.

It's like asking everyone in the world.

"Have you had enough? Have you had enough of this world where people from the south return to the south and people from the north return to the north, where the dust is everywhere and butcher knives are flying?"

……

Today, some of the generals under Liu Zheng's command insisted on following Liu Zheng only, while others disdain and sneer.

Someone also gave Li Xia an answer.

Different people have different answers, of course.

~~
Liu Zheng suffered from tetanus.

He suffered from malaise, headaches, and gradually developed facial paralysis.

In the few days after he was transferred to Tongguan, the old department kept visiting him.

These people all came here in plain clothes, but Liu Zheng knew that they had already surrendered Li Xia.

Only then did he fully understand the meaning of Li Xia's words when they met that day...

Until June 23rd.

A subordinate came to visit, pushing Liu Zheng's anger to the peak.

"Liu Shuai said in the past that it is useless to make a lot of credit for Zhao Songli. But in the eyes of the county king, it is the credit for saving the people of Jinghu. The county king remembers this credit, so he does not pursue Liu Gong's defection to the enemy..."

"Go! Go!"

Liu Zheng was furious, and scolded Liu Yuan, who was dressed in coarse linen, as incompetent.

"It's impossible for Li Xia to subdue my subordinates, it's impossible!"

He coughed and gasped heavily.

Finally, he stretched out his hand to the air, as if he still wanted to catch his merit.

"Father? Father!"

Liu Yuan cried loudly...

~~
"Liu Shuai was seriously injured and died..."

It was already evening when the news reached He Tai's ears.

He Tai's eyes turned red, and soon turbid tears fell down.

He used to think he was like Liu Zheng.

They are all from Beigui, they are all suspected by Song Ting, and they have experienced the same things together for the rest of their lives.

But today I found out that he is not Liu Zheng.

He is not as talented, powerful, and conceited as Liu Zheng, and he can fight against this world alone.He couldn't do it, and needed a stronger force to protect him.

He Tai raised his hand and wiped his eyes, but he returned to the school field and continued to organize soldiers.

Because of so many thoughts, he finally simply gathered all the soldiers under his command in one place and lectured loudly.

"Listen, everyone, whoever asks us to surrender again, beat him! The king of the county will decide for us. This is what Liu Shuai asked the king of the county before he died. He said that he didn't want to lead the army anymore, he just wanted to let us not be bullied again. .

The king of the county also promised to continue to keep the flag of our conquering the enemy camp. We want people to know that the conquering enemy camp is no longer the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, and the Mongols. We are not soldiers. , nor are they from the north, we are the army of China!
Do you understand?You...fucking...you are not reformed people anymore, from now on, we are standing on our own land, let me live dignifiedly! "

(Also: This is a fiction, so Liu Zheng in the book must have done many things that he has not done in history.

It may appear that I have written this man too badly.

The reason for writing this is based on the statement in Liu Zheng's biography that "in the first month of the tenth year, Fancheng was broken and slaughtered".

Fancheng was indeed slaughtered, which may be one of the reasons why Lu Wenhuan surrendered.

It is not written in the history books who ordered the massacre of Fancheng, but it is written in Liu Zheng's biography.

More specifically, I didn't find any information, so when I made up the story, I tried to make up his good and evil to a similar degree.

In addition to good and evil, why did his character be compiled like this, because according to historical data, people who did not get along well with him include Zhao Fang, Jia Sidao, Lu Wende, Yu Xing, Niu Lin, Ali Haiya, Boyan...)
