Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 612 Persuade to surrender
  "Do you dare to fight to the death, Thief Liang?" Hundreds of riders roared in front of the formation.

The trapped beasts were still fighting, so Deng Qiang would go out of the city to challenge every two days to boost the morale of the defenders.

This man comes after Deng Yu, the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the leader of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. He is from the same clan as Deng Ai, the famous general of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Li Yue fell in love with talents for a while. Deng Qiang had the courage to fight against thousands of people and had the ability to stand alone. He was the top handsome man in this era. He sent people to persuade him to surrender, but he was stubborn and refused to surrender. He even beheaded the envoys and cut off the city. Others surrender.

"Deng Qiang and Fu Jian have known each other since childhood. They grew up together in Fangtou. They are as close as brothers. They will never surrender to me, Daliang." Cui Hong cupped his hands.

"This time, let me go and meet Deng Qiang!" Wei Shan was carrying a long spear and wearing Mingguang armor.

Li Yue glanced at him. Wei Shan was now in his forties. In his early years, he charged too hard and suffered from injuries. Like Wang Meng, he was one of the top two sick people in Daliang.

Deng Qiang was twenty-six and seven years old, which was the age when he was vigorous and vigorous.

If Wei Shan were defeated by him, it would damage Daliang's morale.

Li Yue has never advocated that generals go out to challenge each other. Deng Qiang was desperate and had to use this method to boost the morale of the city. Wei Shan was completely brave for a moment.

"Why kill a chicken with a bull's-eye? Give the younger generation some opportunities." Li Yue declined with a smile.

Cui Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we have the four generals Zhang, Liu, Lu, and Zhuge come forward together? No matter how brave Deng Qiang is, he will never be his opponent."

If Zhang Hao, Liu Laozhi, Lu Guang, and Zhuge Kan go together, Deng Qiang will definitely not be his opponent.

However, as soon as these words are spoken, the surrounding black clouds will look disdainful. The soldiers admire the strong the most, even if they are enemies.

It would be a bit embarrassing to really do what Cui Hong said. It would be fine if he captured and killed Deng Qiang. If he failed, it would only damage his own morale.

"You underestimate Deng Qiang too much. He is not reckless. His knowledge is not good. He turned around and left. You might as well let the younger generation practice his skills. There is no rush." ​​Li Yue said with a smile.

It was originally a siege of the city and reinforcements, with the purpose of attracting Fu Jian to come to Puban for a decisive battle.

If Li Yuer was really determined to attack the city, he could flood Puban with kerosene, cannon stones, stalons and arrows, and crashed cars.

In this battle, Chang Wei transferred all the belongings of Liang State in order to destroy Qin in one battle.

"Where is Lu Guang? Go play with Deng Qiang."

"Take your orders!" Lu Guang raised his long spear and got on his horse.

Zhang Hao and Liu Laozhi are veritable enemies of tens of thousands in the Heiyun Army. Lu Guang and Zhuge Kan also have this qualification.

Lu Guang, in particular, was a very talented general. Although he was young, his ability to command troops was even better than that of Zhang Hao and Liu Laozhi.

After so many years of accumulation, today's Liang State can be said to be like a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of good ministers.

Lu Guang led hundreds of cavalry to fight Deng Qiang.

Li Yue found it a little boring, and it was not interesting after watching too much. However, the soldiers never tired of watching it, and the cheers burst out, which could be regarded as stimulating their martial spirit.

"Your Majesty, Di Qin has sent out troops, with Yao Chang and Fu Fei as the vanguard, leading an army of [-] to cross the river." Liu Ying came with the battle report.

"Has Fu Jian sent troops?"

Forty thousand people are still not enough to watch, and Li Yue hopes to decide the outcome in Puban.

In fact, there were not many clever plans on the battlefield. Liang Guo relied on its national strength to fight steadily and step by step, and it was difficult for Di Qin to play tricks.

Liu Yingdao said: "Fu Jian gathered a large army in Chang'an, but he did not attack."

"Since he was lured but not released, it means that Fu Jian has other plans and is unwilling to come to Puban for a decisive battle." Wang Meng said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

"If he doesn't come, I will enter Guanzhong from Puban and overthrow his lair." Li Yue was not in a hurry.

If you attack it, you will be able to save it. If Puban is not defended, Guanzhong cannot be defended either.

However, if you think about it further, Fu Jian sent Yao Chang and Fu Fei up, which is somewhat suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Needless to say, Yao Chang is the biggest threat in Guanzhong. Fu Fei is a member of the Di Qin clan, holds military power, is brave and good at fighting, but is not a direct descendant of Fu Jian, and is also a small hidden danger.     Now that Di Qin's clan is not against Fu Jian, Fu Fei's situation is more embarrassing.

"Wan Sheng!"

Another tsunami-like cheers erupted in the camp.

This just interrupted Li Yue's thoughts. Looking around, Lu Guang was actually inextricably linked to Deng Qiang.

The two cavalrymen were entangled with each other like two long snakes.

Deng Qiang and Lu Guang were going back and forth, the two horses galloping very close to each other, their long branches waving tightly like meteors passing from east to south.

Li Yue has also been on the battlefield. He fought against Yao Yizhong and Liang Du together with Ran Min. It can be seen that both of them are doing superficial things, and a real fight will never be so flashy.

Suddenly I remembered that Deng Qiang grew up in Puban and Lu Guang also grew up in Puban. The two were probably old acquaintances, so naturally they refused to use their full strength.

There is no point in continuing the fight like this, Li Yue thought, "It's almost done, Ming Jin withdraws his troops."

Not long after, Lu Guang came back and handed over the order, "General, I failed to capture and kill Deng Qiang. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

Li Yue stared at him, "I heard that Deng Qiang and the general are old acquaintances?"

Lu Guang was startled, looked up at Li Yue, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"Since General Lu and Deng Qiang are old acquaintances, why didn't we tell him earlier?" Cui Hongpi said with a smile.

"At the end of the day, I will be a minister of Daliang. Deng Qiang is an enemy general. He belongs to two countries and each is his own master. We meet on the battlefield. We are only enemies and have no old acquaintance, so we have not reported anything." Lu Guang was very clear.

"General Lu has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He is very brave." Li Yue nodded and accepted his excuse, which is human nature. "I wonder if Deng Qiang can persuade him to surrender?"

This question seemed difficult for Lu Guang to answer. After thinking for a while, he said: "Deng Qiang is highly regarded by the Fu family and cannot be persuaded."

Li Yue nodded, "It's a pity."

Lu Guang resigned.

Cui Hong whispered: "Lü Guang's expression is strange. I'm afraid Deng Qiang tried to persuade him on the battlefield."

Li Yue waved his hand and said, "Don't doubt anyone who is suspicious. Lu Guang will not betray me."

The two of them were so close on the battlefield, so they must have said something.

But Li Yue didn't care. Although Lu Guang was taciturn, he was not an ungrateful person. He had been reforming in Shangwu Hall for many years, and Li Yue entrusted him with important tasks. This favor was not a small one.

Of course, even though he said this, he actually made arrangements in private, not only for the external affairs, but also for the internal affairs.

With the military structure of the Black Cloud Army, even if he had other ideas, he wouldn't be able to do much.

"Since Fu Jian threw out Fu Fei and Yao Chang, it is better to capture Puban first and use Deng Qiang, Fu Fei and Yao Chang to sacrifice the flag to scare Guanzhong." Wang Meng suggested.

They had been facing each other for many days and had been standing still. The morale of the soldiers was somewhat low.

Pu Ban has almost finished it, and it’s time to finish.

The consumption of more than [-] men and horses was astonishing.

Now that there is a severe drought, the Liang State does not have so much financial resources. If we regain Guanzhong earlier, we can retain a little more vitality and save the Liang State's national power.

Li Yueran said: "As soon as Yao Chang and Deng Fei arrive, prepare to attack the city. They will eat the second army first and take Puban!"

"Take your orders." The generals around him said solemnly.

With the loss of two good generals, Deng Qiang and Fu Fei, Guanzhong was almost done.

In addition, taking Puban would also encourage those who opposed Fu Jian in Guanzhong to raise troops.
