Ou Zhenhai asked: "You want to make the first contribution? How do you make the first contribution?"

Chu Yuan said loudly: "The reason why the Qing army in the city resisted desperately is because there is guard Xiao Chengyong sitting there! I am willing to sacrifice the head of that thief Xiao Chengyong!"

Upon hearing this, Ou Zhenhai thought: "This kind of blunt knives and flesh-and-blood fighting is the fighting will of both sides, and killing the coach is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the fighting will, but this guy really has that kind of ability, killing Xiao Chengyong ?"

Thinking of these, Ou Zhenhai asked: "Chu Yuan, you said you could offer Xiao Chengyong's head. Let me ask you, Xiao Chengyong is surrounded by countless guards. Even if you are the captain of the guards, if you have the opportunity to get close to Xiao Chengyong, you can succeed, but how do you get out after you succeed?" ?”

Chu Yuan said: "Our bodyguards have exactly the same thoughts as me. I killed Xiao Chengyong and naturally led the bodyguards to surrender."

Ou Zhenhai asked: "Xiao Chengyong's guards must be the most loyal to him, why did you kill him?"

Chu Yuan said: "General Ou, Xiao Chengyong is known as a brave general, and he treats people honestly, but today our brothers in the guard team discovered that Xiao Chengyong is a villain for fame! Xiao Chengyong beheaded his mother and wife as a token of respect for Xiangyang. The determination of the city to live and die together is an act of gaining fame!"

Ou Zhenhai asked, "Is that head fake?"

Chu Yuan said: "The head is real, but Xiao Chengyong's mother is seriously ill, life is worse than death, today's condition worsened, and she howled in misery. Xiao Chengyong was very filial to his mother and couldn't bear her suffering, so he killed her; Xiao Chengyong's wife was barren. , has violated the 'seven out' clause, Xiao Chengyong could have divorced her, but Xiao Chengyong wanted to let everyone know that he is affectionate and righteous, neither divorced nor remarried, today Xiao Chengyong actually killed her, and the city was shocked!"

"But later we found out: Xiao Chengyong had already bought a concubine with three bedrooms in Wuhan, and he had long wanted to get rid of his first wife, but he had no chance. Today, he took advantage of the opportunity of defending the city to kill his first wife and gain fame, killing two birds with one stone. We see through Xiao Chengyong's face and don't want to follow him anymore, so everyone in our guard team wants to kill Xiao Chengyong."

Ou Zhenhai said with a smile: "Okay then, you go back to the city and present Xiao Chengyong's head, and I will make the first contribution for you!"

Chu Yuan said earnestly: "I don't want to make too much credit, but I just want our brothers to join Lin Shuai's army and follow Lin Shuai!"

Ou Zhenhai nodded in agreement, Chu Yuan turned around and left. As soon as he went out, Ou Zhenhai's smile turned cold. He called the reconnaissance battalion commander and said, "Go to the surrounding villages and towns immediately to find fellow villagers who have met Xiao Chengyong. Hurry up!"

The reconnaissance battalion commander hurriedly asked: "Why do you find such a person?"

Ou Zhenhai said: "I suspect that this Chu Yuan is a false surrender! He bullied us. No one has ever seen Xiao Chengyong, so he wanted to make up the number with his head. We have to guard against it."

The reconnaissance battalion commander nodded again and again, and in the evening, he brought back eight fellow villagers and said to Ou Zhenhai, "Some of these people have worked as part-time workers at Xiao Chengyong's house, and some have set up shops in front of Xiao Chengyong's house. They have all met Xiao Chengyong."

Seeing that there was a middle-aged woman among the villagers, Ou Zhenhai couldn't help asking in surprise, "Why is there another woman?"

The reconnaissance battalion commander said: "She is a midwife. She has been to Xiao Chengyong's house and delivered the baby to Xiao Chengyong's wife."

Ou Zhenhai frowned, and said, "Isn't his wife infertile? Could it be that there is something wrong with it?" As he spoke, he walked up to the middle-aged woman, who also understood what Ou Zhenhai wanted to ask, so she said, "I want to report to you, my lord." , Master Xiao's wife is not infertile, but unable to conceive."

Ou Zhenhai asked: "What does it mean that you can't bear it?"

The middle-aged woman said: "My lord, you are a man. You don't understand these things. Some women are pregnant but they can't keep it. If they move a little bit, they will have a miscarriage. This is the case with Lord Xiao's wife. This kind of thing happened several times. , they asked me to take care of his wife."

Ou Zhenhai thought to himself: "So that's the case. It seems that what Chu Yuan said is true. Since this woman has taken care of Xiao Chengyong's wife, she must have seen his wife and mother." So Ou Zhenhai asked everyone to go down to rest, and only the woman He stayed and said, "Sister, you must know Xiao Chengyong's wife and mother, right?"

The woman nodded and said, "Of course I do."

Ou Zhenhai said: "Sister, Xiao Chengyong killed them, and the heads are here. Can you help us identify them and see if they are them?"

The woman screamed immediately when she heard this, and Ou Zhenhai hurriedly said, "If you are afraid, forget it."

The woman thought for a while and said, "The army is full of murderous spirits, and ghosts dare not come, so it doesn't matter if I go and have a look."

Ou Zhenhai asked a woman to take a look at the two heads, and soon the woman came back and told Ou Zhenhai: "The two heads are indeed Xiao Chengyong's mother and wife." Ou Zhenhai was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time.

The subordinates took the woman down, and at around nine o'clock in the evening, the staff officer came in and reported, "Chu Yuan has brought someone back!"

Ou Zhenhai hurriedly asked, "Did you get the head back?"

The staff officer nodded and said, "I got back a human head with a clear face."

Ou Zhenhai said: "I'm going to see Chu Yuan first, you take the head and ask the villagers to identify it, and then come back and tell me, if the head is real, you take a document in your left hand, if it's fake, you don't have anything Take it, don't let Chu Yuan know about this matter, if it is true, it will chill his heart."

The staff officer nodded and went out. Ou Zhenhai went to see Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan said happily: "We killed Xiao Chengyong, and the defenders in the city will no longer resist. General, you can enter the city now."

Ou Zhenhai smiled and agreed, but kept staring at the door, waiting for the staff officer to come in. Not too long ago, the staff officer came in with a document in his left hand. Ou Zhenhai thought to himself: "Chu Yuan didn't cheat, he really killed Xiao Chengyong."

Ou Zhenhai smiled and said, "Brother Chu's uprising on the battlefield, I will definitely report it to Shuai Lin."

Chu Yuan said excitedly: "Shuai Lin also knows my name? I'm so happy!"

Ou Zhenhai smiled and said a few more words, and Chu Yuan said: "General, the people in the city are in panic now, and they are worried that you will go into the city to burn, kill and loot, so send troops into the city to appease the people."

Ou Zhenhai said: "Okay, I'll send troops into the city right now, brother Chu, go and rest first."

Chu Yuan hurriedly said: "I hope the general will allow us to enter the city. Some soldiers are still guarding the house. We want to persuade them to surrender and stop working for the Qing court."

Ou Zhenhai agreed to let Chu Yuan enter the city with Xia Zifeng's [-]th Regiment. On the one hand, the remaining defenders were cleared, and on the other hand, the people were appeased. At the same time, the troops were camped. In the previous transportation, no tents were brought in. Some soldiers didn't even bring sleeping bags. Now that the weather is getting colder, Ou Zhenhai doesn't want to see the flu spreading in the barracks.

After Ou Zhenhai gave the order, he felt that there was something unusual all the time. He couldn't help thinking carefully about the conversation with Chu Yuan just now, thinking: "What's wrong? By the way! In Chu Yuan's words, what Chu Yuan said just now In the conversation with me, "entering the city" was mentioned several times. As a surrendered soldier, why is he so concerned about our next battle? Why does he want us to enter the city so much? What kind of trap did he set up in the city? "
