Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 323 There Are All Rebels, How Can There Be Loyal Ministers?
Wu Guo'er never thought that with his martial arts skills, he would be captured by the Tubo people.

The ancestors of his family lived in Weizhou, Wuzhou and other places for generations. They used to be the fake son of Qi Wang Li Maozhen, and they were once powerful. The Wu family can also be regarded as generations of martial arts within the Zhangyi Army.

Although Li Maozhen was impoverished and had to surrender to the Later Tang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Wu family were not implicated, so they had to retreat and stayed in Weizhou and other places.

Wu Guo'er has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his archery, spear and stick are the best in the Weizhou Town Army, and He Chuan, the soldier and horse envoy, admires him very much.

He was also invited to fight Chang'an together during the military rebellion, but the Wu family has taken root in Weizhou for many years, and the clansmen dare not take risks here, so they didn't go.

Originally, he was planning to wait for about half a month to gather the town army with guns and sticks to go out of the three passes to Yuanzhou to fight Caogu and grab some fat sheep and horses.

Unexpectedly, Yuanzhou Dangxiang dared to appear under Weizhou city.

This is the reason why Zhang Zhao just arrived at Weizhou City, before the army formation was set up, a large wave of army horses poured out of Weizhou City, Wu Guoer dared to hold a longbow, and rushed out to kill his cavalry.

The Weizhou army regarded the Guiyi army that appeared outside the three passes as the Yuanzhou party item.

This was of course a 'beautiful' misunderstanding, Zhang Zhao didn't know the situation beyond the three gates, those Yuanzhou party items were actually released on purpose by him.

They were just scouts if nothing happened, and cannon fodder if something happened, but they didn't expect that they would be misunderstood by the Weizhou Army.

While Wu Guoer was thinking wildly, a doctor with a hood came to apply medicine to him.

Murong Xinchang's iron whip was not light, if Wu Guo'er hadn't worn a ring-lock armor next to his body, the iron whip would not have knocked his internal organs out of place, how could it be so easy as it is now.

"Why are there no syrupy steamed buns to eat? This black millet is very rough, and someone who eats it will definitely have a back pain!"

Wu Guoer smacked his mouth twice, and asked the cook who came with the doctor to deliver the meal.

Among these Hexi soldiers, there is a kind of steamed bun with white syrup inside, which is very delicious. After Wu Guoer ate it a few times, he fell in love with it.

The young man is the most eloquent. Seeing that there is no syrup steamed buns, only black millet (sorghum) to eat, even if he was caught, he couldn't help asking.

"What's the matter? You're almost recovering from your illness, and you still want to eat sugar buns? Let me tell you, I'm in the rebel army, and only the wounded can eat it. If you want to eat it again, you won't be able to do so unless someone beats you with an iron whip!"

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and when Wu Guoer saw Murong Xinchang who was giggling and laughing at him, he immediately lost his composure.

"You Hexi slave, if it weren't for Ma Kuai, who will beat whom, I don't know yet?"

"Hey! Don't call me a Tubo bandit slave anymore? If you want to fight again, you are ready to wait anytime. If you say that a horse fight is a horse fast, when you recover from your injuries, we will fight on foot! Now the commander-in-chief is called, come with me! "

Fortunately, this Wu Guoer was scolding Murong Nobunaga, this Murong Daer was born in the Tuyuhun Murong tribe royal family, and his grandfather was the governor of Guazhou. He had a sense of superiority since he was a child.

If it were Zhang Liecheng who was born with extremely low self-esteem, Wu Guoer would have to give Wu Guoer another good beating.

. . .

Under the city of Weizhou, Zhang Zhao was not in a hurry to attack, but spent several days urging the peasants to rush to make more than a dozen chariots wrapped in cowhide that could hide soldiers, and then began to install the trebuchets.

Cao Shishi kept running around in the trebuchet, recording data. The bed crossbows at the top of Weizhou city were also very thieves, and they fired very cautiously.

In the end, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to let the rush-made chariot take a risky attack, luring the bed crossbow in Weizhou City to fire.

'Boom! There was a loud noise, and Cao Shishi heard it clearly. From the top of Weizhou City, several bed crossbow arrows thicker than spear shafts flew out, and a car covered with ten layers of cowhide and lined with iron sheets flew out. The car was hit directly.

The crossbow bolt with huge kinetic energy shot through the chariot in one fell swoop, and several streams of blood flew out along the punctured cowhide.

The Yuanzhou party members in the car, screaming in fear, escaped from the car scrambling and crawling.

"Left of the city, No. 54 crenel, [-] steps away!" The observer on the high pole immediately roared, and those bed crossbows who were hiding in hiding finally showed up.

"Fat stone! Three waves of covering projection!" Cao Shishi shouted excitedly, and the semaphore soldiers around him raised a yellow flag, which represented the left side, and then two small red flags were raised, representing the No. [-] crenel.

According to Zhang Zhao's request, Cao Shishi divided each city wall into twelve equal parts to determine the approximate location.

"One hundred and fifty-four steps! Hair stone!"

"One hundred and fifty-four steps! Hair stone!"

Twenty whirlwind cannons were installed on the ground, and each flag captain shouted.

In an instant, 20 yuan of rocks the size of a human head roared and smashed towards the place where the bed crossbow was fired just now, and they fired three bursts.

All of a sudden, the city of Weizhou was filled with dust, and even Cao Shishi could hear faint screams.

Weizhou's three-bed crossbow is finished.

"Load the soil and fill the trench! The whirlwind cannon hits people instead of walls, but if there are people, bombard them immediately!"

Zhang Zhao gave orders loudly, the bed crossbow at the top of the city was gone, and the filling of the trench could finally begin.

More importantly, he can also form strong archers to suppress and shoot at the top of the city and cover operations.

The moat in Weizhou is not very wide. This is a problem that all cities in Kansai will encounter. After all, there is not much water everywhere, so the moat outside the city has become an important defensive tool.

The bombardment speed of the twenty whirlwind cannons was still very fast, and within a short time, they smashed the archers at the head of Weizhou city so that they couldn't lift their heads.

Wang Shouye frowned as he looked at the densely packed crowd below the city and the flying stones in the sky.

The Guiyi army actually had trebuchets, and they were able to resist using them, and they didn't start using them until they smashed the crossbow at the head of the city.

"Don't worry, the town generals, their catapults are too small, although they can suppress us, they can't knock down the city wall of Weizhou.

And it's impossible for them to keep bombarding. As long as I wait to hold on, it will take them seven or eight days to fill up the trenches. "

Wang Shouye looked at Sun Shijiang who was speaking, and nodded as if agreeing with his words, but he hummed coldly in his heart.

Sun Shi sent dozens of people from the whole family to make trouble with He Chuan's tooth soldiers, so of course he had to stick to it.

But Wang Shouye did not have any family members involved, but what Sun Shijiang said was not unreasonable, let's wait and see, if he can defend, of course he must defend.

. . . .

"Wu Guoer from Weizhou, meet Sikong!"

This kind of siege battle is generally very time-consuming, not to mention that Zhang Zhaolian's auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands are only ten thousand people.

With such a small force, to attack a fortified city like Weizhou, generally speaking, the time is calculated on a monthly basis, so after arranging the attack, Zhang Zhao returned to the tent.

Wu Guoer, who was already able to move freely but couldn't use his strength, knelt in front of Zhang Zhao. He completely lost the arrogance he had when he was captured, and he didn't have the dissatisfaction he had when he was arguing with Murong Nobunaga.

"Is Xiaolang Wu's injury better?" Zhang Zhao asked with a smile.

Wu Guo'er put her head on the ground without looking up, "Thank you Sikong for your care, and sent a doctor to ask for medicine. The injury is no longer serious!"

"From your words, it seems that you have a family background. How many books have you read?"

Based on this level of dialogue, Zhang Zhao gave Wu Guoer a high look, because according to the literacy rate at this time, anyone who can say these few words must not belong to an ordinary family.

"The ancestor of the family used to be Qizhong Jingwang's fake son, and he was an official in Wuzhou. He has read some books and can recognize a few words." Wu Guoer replied with a little pride.

Zhang Zhao was speechless for a while, not because of Wu Guoer's ancestors, but because of the posthumous title of Zhongjing, which really made Zhang Zhao feel a little darkly humorous.

Li Cunxu, who can say such harsh words as "Chengyu Boyue without trial, what has happened since then", entered Chang'an several times to burn, kill and loot, and even forcibly married Tang Zhaozong's beloved daughter, this kind of person, Li Cunxu regarded himself as the Tang clan, but he was posthumous. Li Maozhen is loyal and respectful.

He Zhongzhi?Where is respect?What a great irony!
However, at this moment, there is no need for Zhang Zhaolai to feel wronged for Tang Zhaozong, and the emperors of the late Tang Dynasty made a lot of troubles. Although Tang Zhaozong is pitiful, most of the time, he did it himself.

"Now you don't think I'm a Tubo slave, do you? Lift your head up and talk." Zhang Zhao quickly put the complaints behind him and asked Wu Guoer.

Wu Guoer finally raised her head, and then froze, because after Zhang Zhao in front of him changed into casual clothes, he still didn't grow his beard.

In addition, unlike in the Western Regions, Zhang Zhao became fairer after fighting against the scorching sun, so he looked extraordinarily young, looking two or three years younger than he actually was.

"If the Tubo people still have the ability to dispatch thousands of soldiers, how can the Kansai states survive? They will not treat this captured person as kindly as Sikong!"

"Well said, it seems that you are not an ignorant person. Since you have studied, why did you participate in the rebellion?" Zhang Zhao asked with narrowed eyes.

"Today's son is still a rebellious minister, and he can achieve great things by bowing his knees with the soldiers of Lan Xi.

Just look at the emperor's actions, now as long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, who cares about loyalty? "Wu Guoer looked at Zhang Zhao in a daze and said.

Zhang Zhaoze's cheek twitched suddenly, he thought he had met someone who was extremely eloquent, but when he looked at Wu Guoer's eyes again, he realized that was not the case.

This is not at all eloquent, but the kid in front of him thinks so.

This kind of thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks like a loyal young general, actually thinks so in his heart!
Sure enough, the minds of the warriors of these five generations cannot be inferred from the later generations.

And what he said is also very reasonable!Shi Jingtang is such an idiot, he is a rebellious minister himself, and even colluded with foreign countries.

And this foreign country is the Khitan Lanxi that everyone has always looked down upon.

You, Shi Jingtang, can recognize Xi as your father and enter Kaifeng to become the emperor. Isn't it normal for the people below to take over the city and rebel, make a fuss and win wealth?

Well, after a few breaths of embarrassment, Zhang Zhao decisively decided to give up this discussion.

"I heard that He Chuan is Zhang Congbin's confidant general, not from Weizhou. About half of the looting proceeds were sent back to Weizhou City. Is this true?"

That's right!Wu Guoer showed a clear expression on his face. When Zhang Zhao asked him why he wanted to rebel, he was too embarrassed.

It feels like Zhang Zhao crawled out of a hole suddenly, who still talks about loyalty and rebellion now, shouldn't whoever is strong and who is justified?
But at this moment, Zhang Zhao asked about the wealth of the rebel tooth soldiers in Weizhou City, and he felt right.

Wu Guoer nodded, "There are all the rich and silk women in the city, but the general Wang Zhen who guards the city is quite prestigious, and because everyone is afraid that He Bingmashi and others will win in the east, it will be difficult to explain in the future, so they will not dare to let Sikong go." Into the city."

"Then dare to ask Wu Xiaolang, what does General Wang Zhen like? He Bingma envoy followed Zhang Congbin to rebel and killed the second son of the Kaifeng mansion sage, and he has already forged a deep hatred.

The imperial court will definitely spend money and food, mobilize soldiers to besiege, I think Zhang Congbin will definitely be defeated, He Bingmashi and others may not be able to return to Weizhou. "

Wu Guoer's eyes rolled, "If Sikong can promise Wangzhen to take [-]% of the property, it may be possible."

Zhang Zhao pretended to be overjoyed, and immediately helped Wu Guoer up from the ground.

"If you win Weizhou City, not to mention [-]% of the wealth, [-]% is fine. I will let you go back and report to General Wang Zhen. If I can give you an answer within ten days, I will keep my promise."

Wu Guoer was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect good things to happen so quickly, and Zhang Zhao let him go back so easily.

"And I can suspend the attack to show my sincerity. If it is said that Wang Zhen will open the city, I will also prepare a treasure armor and a BMW and give it to Xiao Lang."

A gleam of joy flashed in Wu Guo'er's heart, Zhang Sikong, who talked in a wrong way, was really easy to deceive.

. . . . .

Wu Guoer had just been taken down.Zhang Zhao looked at Dunzhu who was beside him.

"You go and select some fierce men, make up five hundred, and everyone wears two layers of padded armor. After the soldiers and horses in the city slack off and all the money is spent to blast open the west gate with gunpowder, then go in with a certain general?"
