Fenghou

Chapter 11
The soldiers of the Song army on the city wall hesitated a little, and their bow strings were slightly relaxed, but they did not put down their bows and arrows. They were ordered that a group of Jurchen spies were under the city.

At this time, the chief general Zhang Zhongyan appeared on the top of the city, he sneered and said: "If I guessed correctly, you are Chen Qing, the Eight Character Army!"

"I'm Chen Qing, who are you?"

Zhang Zhongyan was overjoyed, as it turned out that it was Chen Qing who was offered a reward for his capture. He rolled his eyes and said hypocritically: "I am Zhang Zhongyan, the commander of the Huanqing Army. I suspect that you are the spies of the Jinbing, trying to infiltrate the city and ambush!"

"Nonsense, we are an upright and upright army, when did the golden soldiers surrender?"

"If you are not spies, then lay down your weapons and accept our careful investigation!"

Taking Chen Qing's head can only be promoted by two ranks, but offering captives to Wanyan Zongbi can be promoted by three ranks. Of course Zhang Zhongyan wants to capture Chen Qing alive.

Although Zhang Zhongyan had a good strategy, he ignored one point. He probably didn't know about Chen Qing, which made Chen Qing suspicious.

Chen Qing suddenly remembered the huge reward he saw at the entrance of a small village yesterday. Wanyan Zongbi should have found the letter of appointment from his horse's leather pouch.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood.

Chen Qing sneered, "General Zhang wants to capture me alive, so I should be promoted to the third rank!"

Zhang Zhongyan's old background was exposed, and he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and cursed: "Bastard, I will give you one last chance. If you don't drink the toast and eat fine wine, this general will kill you!"

Chen Qing pulled back his skirt, exposed his chest, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, our thousand Song Erlang retreated to cover the main force, fought to the death with [-] Jurchen cavalry, killed countless enemies, and broke through from the army of thousands of horses. Killed hundreds of Jurchen sentry cavalry, and only these fifty people are left among a thousand brothers, if you want to betray your ancestors, betray your country and seek glory, I will grant you, just take this life!"

Fifty soldiers also put down their weapons one after another, ripped off their jackets, exposed their bruised chests, and shouted, "Go ahead and kill! We Da Song Erlang will never frown."

Zhao Xiaoyi raised the battle flag, and the battered and battered army flag appeared in the air, with the words "serve the country with a heart and swear to kill the gold thief" written in blood on it.

The soldiers of the Song Army all around were all moved. They finally learned the truth and put down their bows and arrows one after another.

Zhang Zhongyan was furious, "Wang Ping, Lu Shaowu, Zhang Qun, do you dare to disobey my military order? Give me an order to shoot arrows!"

Several generals remained silent, and none of the soldiers would shoot arrows without their orders.

Zhang Zhongyan had no choice but to turn around and ordered more than [-] soldiers around him, "Hurry up and get the army crossbow!"

The guards rushed to the small stone house where the crossbows were stored on the city wall. At this moment, a large group of soldiers rushed up the city along the corridor. It was the deputy general Li Hua who led more than a hundred soldiers to arrive, and they immediately surrounded Zhang Zhongyan's guards.

Zhang Zhongyan was taken aback. Isn't Li Hua under house arrest?
He pointed at Li Hua and stammered, "You...how did you come out?"

Li Hua sneered and said, "Zhang Zhongyan, do you think all the soldiers will betray their country and seek glory like you?"

Zhang Zhongyan was a little panicked, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Whoever shoots and kills Chen Qing will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with three thousand guan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general behind him shouted: "I will receive this reward!"

A cold light flashed, and the general raised his knife and cut off Zhang Zhongyan's neck from behind.

..........
At the same moment when Zhang Zhongyan was beheaded, an army of [-] men was rushing towards Chunhua County.

The dress of this army is a bit strange. They are not Jurchens or Khitans. They are all Han Chinese. They also wear black lacquered leather armor of the Song army, but the helmet is the bronze helmet of the former Liao army, and the military flag is also a white dragon on a black background. flag.

The white dragon flag on the black background exposed the details of this army. They were the Qi State army just established, which was the army of the puppet Qi Liuyu in history.

There were only [-] Jurchen iron cavalry attacking Guanzhong, and their strength was insufficient. Emperor Wan Yansheng of the Jin Dynasty ordered Liu Yu to send troops to support them.

Liu Yu didn't dare to disobey the order, and immediately sent his younger brother Liu Yi to lead an army of [-] troops into Shaanxi, but they came too late, and the Battle of Fuping was over, which really dissatisfied Wanyan and Lou Shi.

This [-]-strong puppet Qi army was sent by Wanyan Loushi to Chunhua County to accept Zhang Zhongyan's surrender.

The chief general is Wang Shijie, who wields an iron spear, is proficient in bow and horse, and has high martial arts skills. He is less than five miles away from Chunhua County. Shijie ordered the army to rest on the spot and sent a Marquis Yu to Chunhua County to make contact.

The struggle in Chunhua County was over, Zhang Zhongyan and his thirty-seven followers were all beheaded, Li Hua, the deputy commander, took over Zhang Zhongyan's army, and appointed Chen Qinghe's commander Yao Ling as the left and right lieutenants.

Chen Qing was unwilling to accept Li Hua's appointment, but he couldn't shirk it again and again, so he had to reluctantly accept it.

On the top of the city, Chen Qing was thinking about where to go next. Li Hua wanted to go to Pingliang Mansion on Jingyuan Road to join Liu Kai, the governor of the capital, but Chen Qing didn't want to go. Sanguan and the main force of the Bazi Army converge.

"General Chen! General Chen!"

A soldier called twice before Chen Qing realized he was calling himself.

"What's the matter?"

"Commander Li, please go over, there is something urgent!"

Chen Qing followed the soldiers to the south of the city, Li Hua stepped forward and said in a low voice: "There is an army from the south, it is Liu Yu's army, Wanyan Loushi sent them to accept the surrender, and the envoys are already under the city. "

Chen Qing glanced under the city with his head, and saw three sergeants standing under the city, the leader was a section-level officer, looking up the city with his head.

"Commander Li wants to annihilate this army?"

Li Hua nodded. If it was the Jurchen cavalry who came to accept the surrender, he might not have the courage, but the opponent is the puppet Qi army, and there are only two thousand people, so he has an idea.

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "Then use tricks."

"But Zhang Zhongyan is dead!"

"But they don't know Zhang Zhongyan!"

Li Hua slapped himself hard on the forehead, really confused.

"I have a solution, let's arrange it!"

They have a common head, with the same thick beard as Zhang Zhongyan, and the same body shape, and they have a little thicker eyebrows to make them look alike.

The gate of the city opened slowly, 'Zhang Zhongyan' came out with all the generals, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My commander, Zhang Zhongyan, may I ask the general's name?"

"During the New Deal in Xialu, the Qi army took Yuhou under his tent, and came to contact the matter of accepting the surrender by order of my general!"

"May I ask who your general is?"

"The commander, Wang Shijie, came to accept the surrender under the order of Marshal Wanyan!"

"Marquis Lu Yu, please enter the city and discuss in detail!"

"Please!"

All the stars and the moon invited Lu Yuhou into the county
After drinking a few glasses of wine in the city and collecting dozens of taels of silver, Lu Yuhou's attitude became much better.

He left the city in less than half an hour, and he told Zhang Zhongyan: "Just pay attention to the points I said. First, the flag must be changed. The white flag can be temporarily displayed, but the Song flag can no longer be hung; second, the soldier's left arm is tied. Put white gauze; third, prepare barracks, wine and meat, slaughter more pigs and sheep, prepare more wine, and find more than a hundred women, we have traveled a long distance from Bianjing, and we really need to rest."

"Don't worry! I will arrange these."

Walking out of the city gate, Lu Yuhou thought of another thing, "By the way, when the army arrives, let the brothers lay down their weapons and gather outside the city, and we will reorganize together at that time."

"I know, there will be no mistakes!"

Lu Yuhou left with his men, and Li Hua summoned several generals to discuss, "Let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

Yao Ling, the envoy of soldiers and horses, said: "I have a plan. I will pick a thousand strong men inside the city, and let them pretend to be surrendered soldiers to assemble outside the city. We happen to have spare armor, and then the brothers lie in ambush above the urn city. When the enemy enters the city, our urn city It's quite big, just right in the urn to kill a turtle!"

Several generals applauded, "Good strategy!"

Seeing that Chen Qing was deep in thought and silent, Li Hua asked, "What does General Chen mean?"

"I think this plan is good, but there are loopholes!"

Yao Ling raised his eyebrows, and said with dissatisfaction: "What loopholes will there be?"

"A thousand civilians must be honest and obedient, don't make mistakes, don't be spotted by the enemy, ten people are okay, a hundred people are enough, but general Yao thinks that a thousand people can achieve it?

They are not soldiers, but civilians. Some are afraid of being massacred, some want to find a chance to sneak home, and some want to escape in the chaos. "

Everyone nodded silently. It is really unreliable for untrained civilians to pretend to be soldiers. Generals with a little experience can tell that they are pretending at a glance.

Seeing that the crowd did not support him, Yao Ling was secretly annoyed, and snorted coldly, "I would like to hear General Chen's opinion!"

Chen Qing said calmly: "The more complicated any strategy is, the easier it is to give away. Simple is the kingly way!"

Yao Ling pouted, "It's easy to say, how do you lure them into the city?"

Li Xiu smiled lightly, "Take advantage of the weakness of human nature!"
