Chapter 621 Xu Yuanlang's thoughts

"The emperor was angry and buried in a million corpses."

After seeing the edict written by Li Chongjiu to him, Xu Shiji said this sentence now to Wang Bo and Meng Haigong.

Meng Haigong was illiterate, and only Wang Bo read the edict and smiled and said, "Xu Yuanlang really doesn't know that he has brought the heads of Xu's father and son within ten days."

Wang Bo just said this lightly, but Meng Dangui, the brother of Meng Haigong below, said: "It's not just a delusion, it's like a snake swallowing an elephant,"

Jiang Shanhe and other generals also nodded and said, "I am willing to lead my subordinates to be the striker this time."

After Jiang Shanhe spoke, the generals in the tent agreed, and this scene made the generals under Xu Shiji confused. At that time, these people became so brave. Isn't it that the combat effectiveness of these adapted rebels was not good?

Meng Haigong smiled bitterly, thinking that these people usually keep their families hidden in their hands when fighting, and push back and forth when siegeing the city. Today, they are so active. Obviously, seeing that they have now won the position of prince, they also want to fight for a future for themselves with their new master.

Old, old, Meng Haigong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, Meng Haigong looked at him, but when he saw Wang Bo, he showed helplessness. Meng Haigong finally showed a little pleasure in his heart, and the two of them were always dissatisfied. Wang Bo saw Meng Haigong's expression, and hummed slightly from his nose and stopped talking.

Xu Shiji said: "Everyone, there is no other way to attack the city. It is not easy to attack Yanzhou City, so let me station the guards first."

As soon as Xu Shiji finished speaking, Jiang Shanhe and other generals shook their heads, looking like they didn't agree. They continued to ask Xu Shiji for battle.

Finally, Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Okay, since this is the case, Xu pushed him back. It will make the hearts of soldiers. Yesterday I saw Yanzhou City, which Xu Yuanlang has been operating for many years. To attack strongly, he must find his weakness."

Meng Dangui said: "General Xu, I see that the east side of this city is shorter and the city wall is older. Can you send troops to this powerful attack?"

The general under Xu Shiji said: "General, our army's eight-pointed cannon and the funiu crossbow have been shipped yesterday. I will be matched in Dongcheng, but Xu Yuanlang knew the weakness of this city, so he must use heavy troops to defend Dongcheng..."

Xu Shiji nodded.

Xu Shiji looked at Meng Haigong and said, "What are the noble opinions of the prince?"

Meng Haigong rubbed his hands and smiled, "I have no great ideas. I should just follow the general's orders."

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Mr. Meng heard that you had a good relationship with Xu Yuanlang in the past, right?"

After hearing this, Meng Haigong got up from the chair, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead and said, "General, I had a few encounters when I moved to Shandong. Who can remember that kind of friendship? I know the loyalty to Your Majesty."

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince, it's not easy to deal with if you are not familiar with Xu Yuanlang? King Linzi, do you have an old relationship with Xu Yuanlang?"

Wang Bo smiled and said calmly: "When he crossed the Yellow River and went to Hebei, he borrowed a boat from Xu Yuanlang. It was also considered a friendship. I wonder if he still remembers it for so many years."

Xu Shiji clasped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that this matter still needs to be on the King of Linzi."

As night fell, the torches were clear on the city of Yanzhou, and the soldiers of the Xu family held the torches back and forth to patrol. Everyone knew that life and death were at stake in this battle, so they did not dare to neglect them. Especially on the first night of the Zhao army's camp, the new soldiers in the Xu army had difficulty falling asleep, and they were worried in their hearts, for fear that the Zhao army would come to attack at night.

A trooper led his subordinates to patrol a section of the female wall, checked the tripping ropes hanging on the city wall, and said to the soldiers behind him, "Everyone is ready to take me, look tight. If the battle starts tomorrow, if one of the three-person team escapes, the whole team will be killed, and if the nine-person team escapes, the whole team will be killed... Let's wait!"

The gang gave the order and all the soldiers under their command lifted their guns, and some of the timid ones actually had their calves swaying straight.

"I seemed to hear the sound of water under the city!" As soon as the captain finished speaking, the worried soldier couldn't even hold his gun.

"Zhao Jun... must have come to attack at night."

"Shut up. Stop the sound of me."

At this time, a voice came from the city and said, "I am Wang Bo's secret envoy. I beg to see General Xu and put down the hanging basket."

Xu Jun soldiers saw each other.

"Who is Wang Bo?"

"The fool is Chisero! Come and find a hanging basket."

At midnight, Xu Yuanlang was not asleep yet. When he thought about surrendering to Zhao, he couldn't help but hesitate. Xu Yuanlang was originally from Yanzhou and was poor in his young family. He was wanted by the government for stealing the cattle of the landlord in the village and was wanted by the government, so he went into the mountains to be robbed. One year, the Yellow River flooded and the court was defeated in Liaodong. The county was panicked.

Xu Yuanlang immediately led a group of thieves down the mountain to attack the landlord's family and retaliate against his former hatred. When Xu Yuanlang captured the landlord's fort and killed the landlord with one sword, he was reluctant to do so and embarked on the road of chaos.

When Xu Yuanlang thought of this, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind. It was the woman he liked when he was young and the daughter of the county magistrate of this city. When he was poor, he had delusions. When he broke through the county government, he saw the other party committing suicide by jumping into the water in front of him. Although Xu Yuanlang went to find all kinds of women in the future, he could never make up for the regret of this youth.

In addition to this regret, in Xu Yuanlang's memory, he kept killing people, killing officers and soldiers, killing rebels, killing the people, and killing disobedient subordinates. Later, he had power and territory, but he was tired of killing people. Later, he defected to Li Mi, and Li Mi and he killed too many people, so he needed to restrain himself.

When Xu Yuanlang saw Li Mi, he admired him so much that he began to restrain himself after listening to Li Mi's words. Xu Yuanlang also learned to recruit some scholars to serve him. Following his subordinates' opinions, he also learned to reduce taxes and exempt food in the Wagang Army to gain support from the people. Later, after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Xu Yuanlang also gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou and Dongping.

At that time, Wang Shichong intended to attack Yanzhou, but when Xu Yuanlang saw that his soldiers were strong and strong, he ordered Wang Shi to be the general manager of Yanzhou to decide on the matter of Shandong. Later, Wang Shichong killed the young lord and proclaimed himself emperor. Xu Yuanlang saw that Wang Shichong was unreliable, so he changed his sect frequently, defected to Li Yuan, and Liu Heita.

Although Xu Yuanlang is a fence-skinned man, he changed his ward to keep Yanzhou independent. Now that Li Chongjiu's troops have reached the city of Yanzhou, Xu Yuanlang is unwilling to truly surrender.

Xu Yuanlang thought of this, but his subordinates reported: "Zhao Jun Zhishilang's envoy sneaked into the city in the middle of the night."

Xu Yuanlang was stunned when he heard this.

Jiang Shanhe, the head of the General Administration, lowered his body and said to Xu Yuanlang: "This is how the General Administration happened. Zhi Shilang didn't like Li Chongjiu's treason for his actions, so he sent him to remind the General Administration to be careful."

Xu Yuanlang inserted his hands in front of his chest. He came back from the shock he had just now. He did not expect that Li Chongjiu would not even be willing to give him a king.

Xu Yuanlang sat down again and said, "It's not the first time that Li Chongjiu has been shameless. He thought I was Wang Shichong. A mere edict could deceive me to sacrifice to the city and kill me Xu Yuanlang again. Humph, but... But I have no friendship with Zhishilang, why should he take this risk to remind me?"

Jiang Shanhe said, "What do you think General Xu? When Zhao's army attacked Qi County and the troops were at the city, Zhao's envoy Yu Shinan said that if Zhishilang did not surrender, the whole county would be flattened. Zhishilang could only be vain. Now Li Chongjiu is going to attack the general. If the city is broken up in a dignified manner on the battlefield, it would be fine. After surrendering, he would be betrayed the city. No one with a conscience would do such a thing. Therefore, Zhishilang decided to tell the General to not be defeated by Li Chongjiu's trick."

When Xu Yuanlang heard Jiang Shanhe's words, he remembered that when he attacked Yuncheng, Dongping County, he attacked the city for three days and three nights.

The soldiers of the county in the city resisted very tenaciously, and countless people were killed and injured. The soldiers cried and begged Xu Yuanlang to withdraw his troops. Xu Yuanlang also knew that he had no strength to attack the city again, but he pulled the flag to the city to face all the guards on the city, swearing that if the city surrenders now, he will only withdraw money and food to protect the people in the city. If the city does not surrender, he will slaughter the city after the city is broken, and no one will be left behind.

The city was silent. Xu Yuanlang remembered that it was his most difficult moment. In just a quarter of an hour, he would ride a horse and lead his subordinates away, waiting for his result to be either killed by Zhang Xutuo or annexed by other rebels.

Xu Yuanlang waited for a long time, and the city gate finally opened. The county magistrate walked out with his head in his hands, holding his head with his hands. Xu Yuanlang cut off the county magistrate's head with a knife. Then Xu Yuanlang's subordinates rushed into the city and killed everyone he saw, killing him to the death.

Xu Yuanlang has done a lot of treason, so Li Chongjiu is also so convinced. The other party is a person who is more capable than him. He can achieve this position, and no one is like this.

"Maintain."

Xu Yuanlang came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Shanhe and said, "Thanks to Zhishilang's reminder, otherwise I, Xu, would have become a ghost under the knife."

Jiang Shank stepped forward and said, "Master Xu, since Li Chongjiu is unkind and unrighteous, we should be more in harmony with the inside and outside."

"This." Xu Yuanlang's eyelids twitched and he didn't say anything.

Jiang Shan made up the previous step: "Mr. Xu is our only chance. The Zhao army outside the city is powerful, and there are sharp weapons such as the eight-pointed cannon and the Funiu Crossbow. Although the walls of Yanzhou are solid, they can withstand a few days. In-house and external cooperation are the only way out. In this way, Zhishilang can do nothing about Li Chongjiu's expression."

After hearing this, Xu Yuanlang asked back, "Where is Mr. Meng Hai? What was he planning?"

Jiang Shanhe sighed and said, "Meng Gong was determined to be with Li Chongjiu, and a mere prince would bribe him. Zhishilang didn't dare to tell him, for fear of being verbally irritated, and he would ruin a big deal."

Xu Yuanlang heard this and explained his doubts: "It seems that at this time, only Zhishilang and I, Xu, are unwilling to be human beings. But it's not that I, Xu, are suspicious, and I can't believe Zhishilang."

Jiang Shanhe heard this and said angrily: "Mr. Xu, Zhishilang is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and I will come to report the message, but you can't believe it. This is too disappointing Zhishilang's kindness. What are you a person who does big things?"

ps: I would like to give you a thumbs up today on Monday. Thank you for your support last week. I was on the list all week and the best result was fifth. I hope to continue my efforts this week.
