Chapter 93 Breaking Four Cities in Three Days

Wang Si found Li Laiheng.

"Brother Li, General Liu wants to lend me three days."

Wang Si is less than 20 years old and a little shy.Liu Fangliang wanted to attack Yongning City. According to the plan, he would capture five states and counties within ten days. The task was not light.Therefore, I want to ask Li Laiheng's troops to help him fight a city or two.Except for a few people such as Li Zicheng, the others didn't know that Li Laiheng still had a mission.Seeing that Li Laiheng hadn't assigned specific tasks yet, several generals were thinking about him.

Li Laiheng thought, going to Shandong requires a secret sneak, and now even Wang Si and Luo Hu don't know about it, so he can't object.He pondered for a while, and thought, why not use the siege as a cover and march all the way east?

Yongning, Songxian, Ruyang, Ruzhou, and Dengfeng are all on the route going east, passing all the way, just entering Shandong from Shangqiu.

"Okay, Wang Si, he wants to borrow all of our [-] horses. Oh, yes, Uncle Hao has no soldiers to take. You tell Uncle Liu that we will attack the city ahead, and Uncle Hao will take five thousand horses." Soldiers and horses will take over the captured cities, so General Liu will not bother, he will just be waiting for us in Dengfeng."

After Li Laiheng finished speaking, Wang Si happily rode away, "I'll talk to Uncle Liu."

Hao Yaoqi was unhappy. Although Li Laiheng made a deal and asked Liu Fangliang to give him five thousand soldiers, this was not the official soldier Li Zicheng gave him, so it didn't mean much.

He felt very wronged, he had nothing to do wrong with Li Zicheng, he gave Li Zicheng tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he was loyal to Li Zicheng, but until now, Li Zicheng did not serve as an official soldier.Originally, he said that he could act with Li Zicheng's Chinese army and be a general in Li Zicheng's Chinese army. Now that the war is really going on, he is made to sit in the old camp and guard the guests, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

It's really uncomfortable for a person who is used to fighting on the battlefield to suddenly feel bored.

In fact, this is secondary, and more importantly, he couldn't figure out why he became a marginalized person?Hao Yaoqi was very wronged, he only knew that he was loyal to King Chuang, and he only knew to fight the enemy desperately, but Liu Zongmin seemed to have a prejudice against him and made things difficult for him everywhere.

Li Laiheng naturally knew the truth, and he also knew that Hao Yaoqi was one of the people who persisted the longest in the official history of the anti-Qing Dynasty. He had been fighting in eastern Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi and other places, and finally died in Tanzhou, Hunan. At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had ruled China for many years.Therefore, in Li Laiheng's mind, Hao Yaoqi is definitely a "proven" fighter.

Seeing that Hao Yaoqi was furious, he comforted him, "Uncle Hao, from now on, I will definitely want you to be the commander of a legion with 30 soldiers. You can't say too much."

Before Hao Yaoqi had time to speak, he kept laughing, as if 30 elite soldiers would be given to him tomorrow.

Hao Yaoqi didn't say much, he went to Liu Fangliang to lead five thousand soldiers, and planned to follow Li Laiheng eastward.

However, when he came the next morning to find out when to leave, Li Laiheng's troops had long since disappeared.

They set off secretly last night.

Yongning County was captured by Li Laiheng's troops in his sleep in the early morning.

Rather than conquering it, it is better to say that the soldiers defending the city gave them a city in their sleep.

Li Laiheng came outside Yongning City with [-] cavalry.The soldiers defending the city woke up from their dreams and hurriedly asked which part you belonged to.Wang Si replied, are you blind?Can't you guys in our unit see it?The banner clearly bears "Li", so of course it is Li Chuangwang.

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the word Li Zicheng, they knew it was a joke.They have long forgotten about Li Zicheng, and now people outside the city think they are joking when they mention it.The people who are joking are not the enemy, and the enemy will not report their own family, so they hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, General Li Ximing's people, we are really blind. Let's open the city gate. General Li, Li Zicheng is dead Gone? Why haven’t you heard anything for more than a year?”

Li Ximing was a military officer in Henan.Guarding the prefectures and counties west of Zhengzhou, so Li Ximing is a familiar officer in this area.

After finishing speaking, someone hurriedly went down the city wall to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, they realized something was wrong. They knew that it was indeed Li Zicheng's men who came in, but they didn't dare to ask, their feet trembled.A school lieutenant was a little more courageous and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Wang Si said: "I said it was from King Li Chuang's army. Don't you believe it?" When this remark came out, they didn't exclaim in surprise, let alone scattered, but unexpectedly knelt down together.

"Forgive me."

"How many people are there in your city?" Wang Si asked.

"It is said that there are 1000 people, but there are actually more than 600." The captain said.

"Who leads the army?"

"Liu Qianzong, Mr. Liu Qian."

"What about people?"

"Xing Yuan Nei. We will take you there."

After finishing speaking, someone led the way to Qian Zongyuan.Everyone outside the gate shouted to open the door, Liu Qian always thought that the soldiers were clamoring, so he came out tremblingly and asked what was the matter.

The school lieutenant said: "Li Zicheng and Li Chuangwang's soldiers and horses have entered the city. Open the door to welcome them."

"Nonsense! Li Zicheng was eaten by a tiger a long time ago in Yunyang Mountain. How can there be such a thing as Li Zicheng? What are you guys doing?" Boss Qian became more courageous. He absolutely did not believe that Li Zicheng's men had entered the city.

When he finally realized that it was indeed Li Zicheng's army, he wisely made the same choice as the captain, knelt down on both feet, and yelled for mercy.

Conquering Yongning City, the knife does not drink blood, is like a child's play.

But there is someone to kill.King Chuang said, Zhang Xianzhong killed King Xiang, we have to kill several kings under Chuangzi, and the first one is King Wan'an.

When King Wan'an was arrested, he insisted that he was not captured by Li Zicheng's people. He said that the soldiers in the city must be clamoring, and the officers must have deducted their salary.

Can't tell him clearly, Wang Si said, how do you want us to prove that you believe that we are the subordinates of King Li Chuang?He couldn't think of a way out, and finally he said: "Anyway, you are not Li Zicheng's subordinates. Li Zicheng was eaten by a leopard long ago. I know this. You are clamoring to find your general. What's the use of looking for my county king? I don’t have any silver to give you, all my silver is the harvest from my manor and the emperor’s bounty.”

Li Laiheng didn't intend to waste too much time. He estimated that the troops Hao Yaoqi took over would arrive soon, so he ordered to build a platform at the gate of the county government office, and kill King Wan'an on the high platform, so that all the people in the city could come and watch.

As soon as the order came out, the platform was built quickly, and the common people quickly gathered at the county government office under the call of the patrol team.

It was only then that King Wan'an realized that he was really going to be executed today. He was so frightened that he was so scared that he passed out several times before reaching the county government office.

"What's my crime?" Before the execution, King Wan'an finally asked.His meaning is very clear, he wants to be a ghost.

Wang Si laughed and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, from now on, Henan will belong to our king Li Chuang. For 280 years, the Zhu family dynasty has been domineering, oppressing the people, exploiting the people internally, and tolerantly externally. The Jurchen nation has grown stronger again, and has the potential to become the Jin Kingdom. Now, the Zhu family dynasty is exhausted, and the new emperor has appeared. We, King Li Chuang, are the stars in the sky, and we will save the people from the fire and water. You say, this Wan'an Should the king be killed?"

Wang Si didn't study, so it's good to be able to explain so many things. There are even fewer scholars among the common people. When they heard this, they immediately shouted: "You should be killed!"

King Wan'an knew that the time of his death had come, so he had nothing to say, he just waited for the knife to come down, and everything would be over.

However, the knife was not cut off.

It's hard.The feeling of waiting to die is not good.King Wan'an was not very old, but he was over two hundred catties overweight. In addition, he wasted too much on sex and his body was puffy. After such a toss, he was very angry and only had three breaths left.

When he was wondering why he hadn't killed him yet, he heard someone beside him saying, how about taking him to Luoyang and beheading him with King Fu.

Most people don't understand the feeling when people die. Hearing that he can live a few more days, he kowtowed desperately, begging the general for mercy, and begging the general to spare his life.

Everyone laughed.The king of the Ming Dynasty joined the rebel army?Laugh out loud.

"Kill it. To avoid suffering." Li Laiheng said coldly.

"Execution!" With a loud shout, all the people fell silent, "Kacha!" King Wan'an's head fell to the ground, some people heard it, and some people heard such a voice in their minds.

Anyway, all the people later said that they heard the "click" sound when King Wan'an's head was chopped off.

Li Laiheng accepted the surrendered army in the city, 600 of them are poor people, what's wrong with being a soldier of the new dynasty?
When Hao Yaoqi arrived, he had 600 more people. Mr. Qian was still a general, so he led his 600 people.

After Hao Yaoqi settled the defense and security management of Yongning City, he had to hurry up and take over the next city.Li Laiheng's speed of breaking through the city was really too fast, and before he left the city, the urging troops sent by Li Laiheng had already arrived.Li Laiheng broke Song County again.

Interestingly, when Hao Yaoqi arrived in Song County, Li Laiheng broke Ruyang again.Then, Ruzhou was broken.

Break through four cities in three days.Li Laiheng is like a broken bamboo.This caused Hao Yaoqi to run after Li Laiheng in a desperate manner.He took over four cities in three days, and he was exhausted.
