Chapter 44
Zhan Bubai saw that Lu Qingqiu wanted him to say it, so he didn't refuse. He knew that he had given Lu Qingqiu too much power, and sometimes it was inevitable that he would be suspected of making great achievements. Although he himself didn't mind, Lu Qingqiu did. He will say what he said, and what he shouldn't say, so don't even think about getting a word out of Lu Qingqiu's mouth.
Shaking his head, Zhan Bubai's deep eyes flickered with petting, and then he looked at the smiling Zhang Liang, but at this moment there was nothing but coldness in his eyes.
"Prefect Zhang, go out and have a look." Zhang Liang's uneasy tone crossed Zhang Liang's heart. Standing up, Zhang Liang took a deep breath and walked out of the hall.
Looking at the scene in the courtyard, Zhang Liang could no longer gather a smile on his face, his face turned pale, and finally his face was ashen, his body could no longer support him, and his bones softened and he knelt on the ground.
The small courtyard was in a mess, and the corridor and courtyard were full of corpses. Blood stained the clean and flat bluestone slabs under their feet, one by one, which was shocking.
Zhan Bubai and Lu Qingqiu also walked out of the hall, standing beside Zhang Liang, and together with him felt the crimson sadness and anger in the courtyard, Lu Qingqiu's eyes flashed with unbearable, but there was no way, Zhan Bubai This must be done, otherwise more and more people will die if things get worse.
"My subordinates greet the general! Young Master Lu!" Qing Yu, who had successfully completed the task in the courtyard, led the soldiers under him to kneel down and salute Zhan Bubai and Lu Qingqiu.
Zhan Bubai stood with his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice to Zhang Liang who was kneeling on the ground indifferently: "These dead people are not your servants, it should be said that they are all your dead soldiers, including those ordinary people in Zhangzhou City, They were all dressed up by your soldiers, and the original people in Zhangzhou City should have been sent to Huicheng not far away by you, and you really took great pains to deal with me."
Zhang Liang's lips trembled slightly, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. Hearing Zhan Bubai's indifferent words, two lines of tears rolled down Zhang Liang's face. Yes, those are all dead soldiers who have followed him for many years General soldiers.
"They...how are they..." Zhang Liang tried his best to say this, because he didn't dare to listen to Zhan Bubai's answer, he was afraid of those people All gone.
Lu Qingqiu understood Zhang Liang's feelings very well. From the very first moment he saw Zhang Liang, he knew that although Zhang Liang had no great talent or strategy, he was a loyal person. It would be difficult for him to put on that humble posture today. up.
"Kill the soldiers who are unwilling to surrender, and leave behind the soldiers who are willing to go to the good country." Zhan Bubai said the answer Zhang Liang wanted to know.
"There shouldn't be much left." Zhang Liang muttered to himself, his face full of vicissitudes, but in an instant he seemed to be more than ten years older. He knew that among the [-] soldiers, [-] would not surrender. Yes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. After all, he walked the old path of Rao Tian and Zhao Xiang......
Lu Qingqiu looked at the grief-stricken Zhang Liang, and sighed, with imperceptible helplessness hidden in his tone, "If we don't kill them, then they will have a chance to counterattack my virtuous army, and the casualties will be heavier than now, and we can't help it." Well, we can only kill those soldiers who are unwilling to surrender to avoid future troubles. Even the soldiers who have already surrendered, we will control them to determine whether they really surrender. If it were you, I believe, you would definitely do the same. "
Zhang Liang suddenly smiled, with tears in the corners of his eyes, with unspeakable sorrow, "Thank you, General and Prince, for saving their lives. If it was me, I would kill them all to avoid further incidents."
Zhan Bubai frowned, cast a glance at Zhang Liang who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold but firm voice, "What I want is the surrender of Qixi Kingdom, not the destruction of Qixi Kingdom."
Zhang Liang stood up and took a deep breath, his eyes were bloodshot, "Xianguo is really blessed to have you... Zhang Liang is still unclear. Before I die, can the general clear up my doubts."
Zhan Bubai looked at Lu Qingqiu after hearing this, he knew what question Zhang Liang wanted to ask.
Lu Qingqiu nodded, dispelling Zhang Liang's doubts.
"From the beginning when you sent the letter of surrender, I guessed that there must be something strange in it, so I sent someone to investigate secretly. As I expected, you buried an ambush in the jungle and mountains outside Zhangzhou City. As long as our army stepped on If you enter the forest, you will definitely be attacked by surprise, and you will suffer heavy casualties."
Flicking his blue sleeves, Lu Qingqiu pursed his lips and continued: "Actually, we have not only 13 troops here today, but [-] troops, and the soldiers stationed at your Ximen barracks are not [-] soldiers, but [-]. The soldiers who detoured outside the city of Zhangzhou and waited for orders were not [-] but [-] troops..."
Before Zhan Zhan Bubai and Lu Qingqiu arrived in Zhangzhou, they had already thought of countermeasures in advance. After arriving in Zhangzhou, the sound of Lu Qingqiu throwing a bowl was used as a signal to let the [-] troops from the west gate attack the camp, and the troops from the south gate of Zhangzhou The [-] army attacked the city, because Lu Qingqiu had already found out that the city was full of troops, so he had less worries, and it was convenient for ordinary people to attack.
By the time Zuixin danced, the battle in the city was coming to an end, but what Lu Qingqiu didn't expect was that Zhan Bubai would stop Zuixin because of a joke. Without the melodious music, it was inevitable for Zhang Liang to hear the movement outside. That's why Lu Qingqiu got up and said that he wanted to play a song if he was interested. In fact, it was just to cover up the sound of soldiers and soldiers.
Although they could attack Zhang Liang in the hall, Zhan Bubai found out that Zhang Liang had planted a hidden weapon in the hall. Only then did he confess to Zhang Liang.
After listening to Lu Qingqiu's narration, Zhang Liang closed his eyes, "You haven't said why you suspected me of false surrender in the first place, and you're still so sure."
Hearing the unwillingness in Zhang Liang's voice, Lu Qingqiu lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly, "Because it's too inappropriate and unreasonable. Logically speaking, if you really want to surrender to my great sage, you shouldn't choose a few days ago, but should A month ago."
Zhang Liang knelt on the ground decadently. Although he seemed lifeless, Lu Qingqiu knew that he was listening. After a long while, he saw his lips squirmed and his voice was decadent, "Why was it a month ago?"
"Remember the corpses of Zhao Xiang and others that our army handed over to you a month ago? If you really wanted to submit to the great sage, you would not accept the corpses at that time, but immediately acted as if you surrendered." Lu Qingqiu couldn't help but Going on, some words are enough to say one or two sentences.
Zhang Liang understood and understood, looked up at the somewhat gray sky, and suddenly laughed out loud, lamenting and emotion in his voice, what he lamented was that Zhang Liang made a wrong step and lost everything. In this regard, what I feel is why he doesn't have such a capable person in Qixi, otherwise he wouldn't have lost consecutive battles...
Now the only hope of Qixi Kingdom is that person, the royal family of Qixi Kingdom, the elder brother of the current monarch - Chu Linhuang.
Then Zhang Liang took advantage of the unpreparedness of Zhan Bubai and Lu Qingqiu, picked up the sword on the ground and wiped it on his neck, blood splashed everywhere, Zhang Liang slowly fell into the blood wave, his round eyes were still open, there was It seems that unwillingness, remorse, guilt, loyalty...
Lu Qingqiu squatted down, stretched out his hand to cover Zhang Liang's eyelids and upper eye, and then took back his bloody right hand.
Just when he stood up, someone gently grabbed his right wrist. Lu Qingqiu raised his eyes, only to see Zhan Bubai frowning tightly in front of him.
He took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom, Zhan Bubai wiped off the blood on Lu Qingqiu's hands, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Liang is a loyal man, but it's a pity that these good generals from Qixi Kingdom can't be used by our country."
Seeing Zhan Bubai's fingertips gently wiping him, Lu Qingqiu couldn't help showing a light smile on his face, "That's right, he can bend, stretch, and endure. He's a talent to make. It's a pity to die, but he won't surrender if he doesn't die." On the contrary, our army will become troublesome. For the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Liang will die in the end, and we don’t know when we can stop this war of using human lives to win.”
"Soon, there will be Huicheng, Yanyang, Linzhou, Nianhao, and Yandu." Zhan Bubai softly comforted Lu Qingqiu.
"Yeah...it's coming soon." Lu Qingqiu sighed, the time flies so fast.
Huicheng.
"Who is coming, report your name quickly!" The soldiers above the city shouted to Chu Linhuang who was below the city.
Sitting on the horse, Chu Linhuang looked up at the city of Huicheng, bent his beautiful red lips, and said in a proud tone, "Chu Linhuang."
Xiao Qiang, the mighty general next to the soldiers, leaned over and looked down the city. He heard that Chu Linhuang was only wearing red clothes, and his face was like a woman's. Seeing him today, he really lived up to his reputation. He thought that Chu Linhuang had already been imprisoned by the current emperor. After a few years, a feeling of contempt arose in my heart, wanting to make things difficult for Chu Linhuang.
"You are obviously a woman! You actually said that you are the elder brother Huang Wang of today's Holy Majesty. It's ridiculous. Leave quickly, or don't blame this general for being merciless!"
Chu Linhuang squinted his eyes slightly, and suppressed the impatience in his heart when he first arrived, raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said lazily: "The imperial decree is for this, so hurry up and open the door for this king!"
Xiao Qiang on the city wall was serious and serious, "How do you prove that you are King Huang? How can I be sure that the imperial decree in your hand is true or not?"
After hearing this, Chu Linhuang finally understood that the people in the city were trying to embarrass him, and he couldn't help thinking that he had disappeared for several years. Even a general guarding the city dared to make fun of him. Stop it, huh, huh, that's great.
Chu Linhuang jumped up, stepped on the horseback and flew towards the city gate with lightness kung fu. His body was as light as a swallow, and his sleeves fluttered. The fiery red satin was thrown out by Chu Linhuang's kung fu and tied to the city wall On the stone arch, along the red silk, Chu Linhuang stepped on the smooth bricks of the city wall and climbed up the city. After completing these movements, Xiao Qiang was stunned.
