Wanli 1592

Chapter 41

"Don't mention it, if it weren't for these ears, I wouldn't have done such a big thing! Let me tell you, brother, Brother Liu and I plan to give the grandson of the thief who worshiped..." Xu Chao made a gesture of wiping his neck: "What? , let's do it together!"

Zhou Guozhu pretended to be shocked: "What? Brother! We are allies, and the father and son of the Qi family also have many soldiers and horses, and none of us can do without each other! If we give them to... can we deal with Wei Xuezeng?"

Xu Chao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, my brother and brother Liu have just discussed to chop off the heads of the father and son of the Qi family and hang them on the top of the city wall, begging Governor Wei to save his life, we should say it or not, we were all Ming in the past. Military households are different from those Mongolian Tartars. We are all Han Chinese. It is inappropriate to rebel with the Tartars.

I woke up this time, no, just after discussing with Brother Liu, I came to you, brother, bring your troops, the three of us have more than 1 troops, as long as we kill you Father and son, there are at least four or five thousand people who can gather together and surrender together. Even if they can't be sealed as officials, it's good to survive. Let's hide more gold, silver and jewelry, and change our appearance to live in Jiangnan or even Lingnan. It's better than here Eat in the wind, sleep in the open and eat sand, right? "

If Qian Chengchong hadn't come, Zhou Guozhu would have been very moved. The life of the frontier army was really hard, but after hearing that now, Xu Chao still didn't tell Zhou Guozhu what they discussed with Wei Xuezeng.

"Brother is so sure that Wei Xuezeng can let us go? We have seen things like officials killing donkeys. Is it really believable?"

Zhou Guozhu made a final confirmation.

Xu Chao paused, and then said: "As long as we pour dirty water on the father and son of the Qi family, at most we will be coerced into becoming thieves. In fact, we don't want to rebel at all, we are forced! In this way, Wei Xuezeng can really be a Is it possible to kill us in front of nearly 1 soldiers? Does he still want to make military exploits? My brother, you follow my brother, [-] are at ease! Let’s gather troops together, kill the father and son of the Qi family, and take their troops, Wouldn't it be nice to surrender and go to Jiangnan to live a happy life?"

Zhou Guozhu smiled, raised the wine glass and offered it to Xu Chao: "It's what my brother said! That's good! My brother will follow my brother! Come on! Let's drink this!"

Xu Chao was overjoyed, took the wine glass and raised his head, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! I'm so happy! Hahahaha... Oh? My brother, why don't you drink?"

Xu Chao wondered why Zhou Guozhu didn't drink.

Zhou Guozhu smiled: "Oh, no problem, just drink it, drink it now."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Guozhu poured the wine glass, spilled it on the ground, and then threw the wine glass on the ground. Xu Chao's thoughts changed, and he woke up instantly. Quickly, a cold light flashed by, and a dagger was accurately inserted into Xu Chao's chest. Xu Chao only felt a tightness and pain in his chest, and all the strength in his body disappeared like running water...

"For...why..."

Holding the dagger with both hands, Xu Chao tightly clutched his chest, trying to stop the blood from spurting out, but it was useless. His strength kept disappearing, disappearing, until in his gradually blurred vision, appeared Seeing a man holding a knife, his eyes suddenly widened: "Xiao Chengchong...you...you..."

"It was you who excluded Brother Zhou and gave me a chance. I made a life-and-death alliance with Brother Zhou first. Xu Chao, in the words of your Han people, you are not benevolent. Don't blame us for being unrighteous. You go first. Soon, your good brother will go to see you!" Qian Chengchong suddenly raised his saber, and slashed at him, a head fell to the ground, and after rolling several times, the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bloody blowout.

"Xu Chao is dead, where is Liu Dongyang?"

Zhou Guozhu looked coldly at the headless corpse spurting blood, and asked Xiao Chengchong.

"Father and elder brother will take care of Liu Dongyang, Brother Zhou, let's mobilize soldiers and horses, let's go and tidy up Liu Dongyang's cronies, so as not to cause trouble, how about?"

Zhou Guozhu stood up and sighed with regret and emotion: "Is there any other way for me to go? Hehehehe... let's go! I can only go one way to the dark."

Looking at Zhou Guozhu's leaving back and Xu Chao's headless corpse, Chengchong smiled and followed Xu Chao's footsteps.

It was night, and there were two places in the city where the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds fighting each other came out, but the sound was not loud and did not last long. Many people did not hear such a sound, and many troops did not know it until the next day. Early in the morning, when many soldiers woke up, they found that their banners had been changed, their generals had been replaced, and many of their comrades had disappeared.

Only then did they know that one of their leaders, Liu Dongyang and Xu Chao, had died in Huangquan, and that shocking changes had taken place in Ningxia City, and the lives of each of them would be changed.

"Tell the guard at the south gate to shoot a few loud arrows into the sky, and then beat the drum."

Qiao Bai said this to his own soldiers, and then rushed to the gate of the southern city with his two sons and Zhou Guozhu.

By the time they boarded the city gate, the Ming army camp had already started to move. In places they couldn't see, there were crowds of people. Hou, the chances of breaking out of the siege are even less, but this does not stop Xiaobai's determination to fight to the end. He has already desperately tried to survive.

In the camp of the Ming army, early in the morning, the soldiers of the Ming army had just finished their breakfast and were preparing to line up to attack the city, when they heard the sound of arrows and drums beating at the gate of the southern city of Ningxia. It felt like the rebels were about to attack. The soldiers assembled urgently, but it turned out that the gates of the city were tightly closed, with no gaps at all, but there were many rebels at the top of the city.

Wei Xuezeng received the report, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. He knew that there was only one explanation for such a strange phenomenon——Liu Dongyang and Xu Chao succeeded!The father and son of the family are dead!They are about to surrender in Kaesong, and the rebellion is about to be resolved without bloodshed. He will be the biggest hero this time, and is very likely to be recalled to the capital to take up a higher position, such as Minister of War!

Ye Mengxiong, Mei Guozhen, Xiao Ruxun and other main commanders of the Ming army all appeared at the south gate. The Ming army camp established by Xiao Ruxun usually dug tunnels together with the progress of the soldiers attacking the city, so as not to be overheard by the bandits.

So the soldiers were preparing to attack the city, and the soil camp was also preparing to dig tunnels. When they arrived, the digging went smoothly. None of the five tunnels were found for the time being. The fastest one had completed four-fifths of the progress, and the slowest one was half completed. , about three or four days at the earliest, it will be ready for blasting.

The gunpowder has also arrived, about [-] catties. Wei Xuezeng has mobilized all the gunpowder from Ningxia, and it is said that there are also gunpowder stocks from Shaanxi and Datong being transported.

Xiao Ruxun was about to arrange the soil battalion to start work, when he heard the movement of the rebel army, Xiao Ruxun, who found it strange, also appeared at the forefront of the army, observing every move of the rebel army on the top of the city.

"What's going on here?"

Mei Guozhen came to Xiao Ruxun wearing armor and riding a horse. Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "I don't know. I heard the sound of arrows and drums just now. I thought the rebels were going to attack, but they didn't."

"Then what's going on? What are the rebels going to do?"

Mei Guozhen asked strangely, Xiao Ruxun naturally didn't know about this kind of thing, so he could only shake his head to express that he didn't know anything, Mei Guozhen turned his head in doubt, and saw Wei Xuezeng not far away, and then frowned ——Without him, Wei Xuezeng's face is full of excitement, full of excitement, as if he is looking forward to something, does Wei Xuezeng know the reason for this matter?

Not long after, the sound of war drums sounded from the top of the city again, as well as the cries of soldiers. The Ming army lined up on guard, waiting in full force, but only a large, long and wide wall fell from top to bottom on the top of Wengcheng City. There is a rope tied to the bottom of the white silk, and there are two objects hanging from the rope. The white silk has big Chinese characters written on it, which is enough for all the leaders of the Ming army who are far away to see clearly.

"Thank you Governor Wei for the reward of [-] silver. I will give it to Liu and Xu with the heads of Liu and Xu, and tell Wei Gong that if you want a city, you can take it with soldiers."

Only then did the Ming army see clearly that what was hanging below were two human heads!
Then, there seemed to be bursts of laughter coming from the top of the city, but when I listened carefully, I thought it was not, and when I listened again, it turned out to be words.

"Duke Wei has a wonderful plan to secure the world, lose money and lose his army! Duke Wei has a wonderful plan to secure the world, pay money and lose his army! Duke Wei has a wonderful plan to secure the world, lose money and lose his army..."

"what?!"

Mei Guozhen yelled and turned pale in shock, Xiao Ruxun also turned pale in shock, and looked at Wei Xuezeng who was not far away, Ye Mengxiong who was beside Wei Xuezeng also looked at Wei Xuezeng in great surprise, the generals of the Ming Army looked at Wei Xuezeng in great surprise .

At this moment, Wei Xuezeng's face was flushed red, panting like a cow, he raised his head to the sky and yelled, "Dog thief!!!!"

Then a mouthful of blood was spurted out, and he fell off the horse and fell unconscious.
