Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No! Li Bao, bring your own soldiers and prepare climbing tools to attack Pinggang City overnight. I will give you an hour. After an hour, this general will lead troops into the city!"

Chapter 516 Retaliate with the way of others

For a city with only more than 20 yamen servants, policemen, more than 80 servants, and more than 200 young and strong guards, it is not easy for Li Bao and his guards to attack it in the middle of the night .

He and the soldiers of the bodyguard team were familiar with the road with climbing ropes, and they easily climbed up the city wall. More than 50 soldiers went all the way to the direction of the tower. The lower weapon collapsed to the ground.

After fighting all the way to the city tower, they encountered some decent resistance, but after Li Bao and others hacked and killed the leading yamen servants, the young and strong recruited by snacks dispersed in a hurry.

The gate of the city was opened by Li Bao's soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng rushed into the city with the Youzhou army, and rushed to the prefect's mansion without hindrance.

Zhao Junsheng stopped in front of the prefect's mansion, and gave orders to Bai Jinguang and Fan Guiting: "Bai Jinguang takes people to take over the treasury and armory, and Fan Guiting takes people to take over the county government! Send people to four buildings to take over the four gates respectively. , Send a block of patrols to clear the streets, and kill anyone who is holding a weapon and resisting!"

The troops of each team were sent out one by one, Zhao Junsheng led Li Bao and a large number of soldiers and horses to break through the gate of the prefect's mansion and rushed into the mansion.

"Go and take Li Fu, the prefect, and kill anyone who resists. Don't run into Li Fu's family, gather them in the backyard!" Zhao Junsheng ordered Li Bao.

"Yes!"

The generals of the Youzhou army quickly took control of the prefect's mansion. In the mansion, there was a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps. The soldiers held up torches to illuminate the entire prefect's mansion. Driven to gather together, Li Fu's family members were all pale with fright, and all wore obscene clothes, trembling and panicking.

Zhao Junsheng came to the lobby of the prefect's mansion. The lobby was clean, tidy and bright. He went to the desk and picked up the official documents piled up on it, flipping through them, and looking at them with a brush.

Soon, the prefect Li Fu was brought up, and Li Bao reported: "General, bring the prefect Li!"

Zhao Junsheng turned around and looked at Li Fu holding the waist knife.

Li Fu cupped his hands and bowed: "The prisoner has seen the general!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I heard that Prefect Li did some practical things for the people when he was an official in Jiyang County. Unlike other officials who are greedy, this general appreciates it very much. Are you willing to surrender?"

"I don't want to!" Li Fu spit out two words with a determined face.

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, "Hey, you're quite straightforward, aren't you afraid that the general will cut you down?"

Li Fuyi said: "I am a minister of the Yan Kingdom, how can I turn to a mere barbarian? Whether the general wants to kill Li is the general's business. Is there a difference between whether I am afraid or not?"

Zhao Junsheng clicked his tongue: "Prefect Li is indeed a little bit upright, but I am very responsible to tell you that I am a Han, not a barbarian! There must be a difference between whether you are afraid or not. If you are afraid, you will surrender me. Then I can spare you from death and let you continue to be an official; if you are not afraid, then I may really cut you down with a single knife. You must understand that a person has only one life. Salary, aspirations and aspirations are all turned into flowing water, in the face of life and death, there is no difference between an emperor and a beggar!"

"Hmph, if the general wants to threaten me with death, Li Fu, the general has made a wrong calculation. Needless to say, sooner or later he will be hit by this knife. Please do it!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Very good, since Prefect Li is not afraid of death, then this general will help you, and choose a day to take you outside the city and behead you for public display, so that everyone in the world will know that you were buried for the crumbling, decaying and declining Yan Kingdom." Yes! Somebody, take Li Taishou down and lock him up. Serve him with good wine and good meat, don’t make him a starving ghost!"

The expression on Li Fu's face was extremely exciting, several soldiers came over and escorted him away.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the backyard, Li Fu

The family members, children, and even the old mother all gathered in the middle of the yard, surrounded by soldiers who guarded them.

The Lord Ya who was in charge of this place saw Zhao Junsheng approaching, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "General, Li Fu's mother, family members and children are all here!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, glanced at him, walked up to an old woman, cupped his fists and bowed, "The Northern General of Wei Guoping and the governor of Youzhou, Zhao Junsheng, have seen the old lady and all the ladies. You are shocked! The two armies are facing each other. , the camps are different, this is really a helpless move, and I will forgive the old lady and all the ladies!"

Li Fu's mother saw that Zhao Junsheng and his soldiers were still being polite, and her complexion improved a little, and she asked, "You are being polite, general. I don't know what the general will do with my child? And what will he do with us old and weak women and children?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I heard that Li Taishou is quite an official, and he is a talent. I want him to surrender, but he refuses, so I have to lock him up. As for how to deal with the old lady, ladies and gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen, it depends on Li Taishou's attitude. If Li Taishou is willing to surrender me, I will naturally treat the old lady like my biological mother. If Li Taishou is really unwilling to surrender, I can only fulfill his integrity! Li Taishou and I There is no personal grievance or hatred, and each is his master, so naturally he cannot hurt his family. After the death of Li Taishou, the old lady, ladies and young ladies can be released without charge, but they can no longer live in the prefect's mansion. The gold and silver here You can take all the soft and valuable items away, and I will never leave them behind! For the time being, please stay here for three days, and you can visit Li Taishou freely. After three days, everything will be up to Li Taishou Decision! I apologize for disturbing everyone late at night, and I will take my leave!"

After Zhao Junsheng left, Li Fu's second wife said to the old woman: "Mother, this Mr. Zhao is very polite and disciplined. It's easy to talk, even if the husband surrenders him, it's not bad!"

The old woman scolded: "What do you know? My son is a minister of the Yan Kingdom. How can one side of the prefect surrender to another country? If it is spread out, the world will laugh at it? How will we behave in the future? How will my Li family behave?"

The third lady said: "My mother, why are you so old and stubborn? If you don't surrender, you will be beheaded. At that time, everyone will die. At most, the common people will admire you a little bit. What good can there be? That is your own son, is life or reputation more important?"

Li Fu's eldest son said: "Yes, grandma, Feng Hong is cruel and heartless. He was able to kill all of his more than 100 relatives and nephews. This kind of cruel king is unique in all ages. He is so cruel to his relatives. How can it be better for other ministers? Father's allegiance to such a monarch is not worth it!"

The second son waved his fan and said, "It's not right for my father to surrender to the State of Wei, but if he doesn't surrender to the State of Wei, but only surrenders to Shijun Zhao, then there is no problem. Judging from the words and deeds of Shijun Zhao today, he should be A benevolent, etiquette, and loyal person treats the enemy and his family with a lenient heart. This is the demeanor that only ancient sages have! Grandma, father has always listened to you, why don't you go and talk to father?"

The eldest lady immediately said: "Mother, I think what the second brother said is right. Although Zhao Shijun has promised not to implicate us old and weak women and children, how can we live without my husband? He is how many of us The husband of the sisters is the father of the children and your son, he cannot die!"

The old woman stomped her feet on crutches: "Stop arguing, let's talk about it tomorrow, go back and rest!"

After dawn, Yao Zhao, the general of the Yan Army who was besieging Luming Mountain, received the news that Pinggang City was attacked by the Wei Army last night without exception. This news shocked Yao Zhao, who was eating, and almost choked to death. Only then did the water recover.

Yao Zhao's first reaction was, it's over, the retreat has been cut off, and the Wei army who captured Pinggang City will be killed after they are fed and drunk. Undoubtedly defeated.

Yao Zhao immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks and ordered: "The whole army gathers and retreats!"

Thousands of people in the Yan army didn't know what happened. Many people were gathered by the sound of horns before they had finished their breakfast, and left quickly under Yao Zhao's leadership.

After running for a while, Huangfu Yan saw that he was going the wrong way,

Immediately catching up with Yao Zhao, he asked, "General, why did you change directions? Didn't you return to Yangwu City?"

"To return to Yangwu City, we have to go through Pinggang. What if we are killed by Wei Jun from Pinggang City? We should take a small road to Shimengou. We had a bloody encounter at Hua Mulan, so we have to find a way to escape from Hebei." Duo Luo got back some interest, otherwise how can I explain to the court?"

Huangfu Yan immediately flattered him: "The general is brilliant!"

When Zhao Junsheng rushed to Luming Mountain with his troops, Hua Mulan was coming down from the mountain with the remaining soldiers from the right wing.

"Brother Junsheng, the several rescue messengers we sent out were all intercepted. How did you know we were trapped here?" Hua Mulan asked with a smile. She looked very tired and haggard. The pressure on the shoulders is simply too great.

Zhao Junsheng took her hand and said: "I left Lao Lu nearby before I led the troops to prevent him from bringing me the news in time if something happened to you! Why did you persist for so long?"

Hua Mulan leaned on Zhao Junsheng's body, "Because I know you will definitely bring troops to save me, I have always believed in it! When you lead troops to take down Fancheng but you can't wait for the messenger I sent, you must be worried. It’s not an accident, you will send someone over, I just didn’t expect you to send Lao Lu by my side all the time! Brother Junsheng, thank you!”

"Silly girl!"

Hua Mulan leaned against Zhao Junsheng and fell asleep, sleeping from morning till dark before waking up.

"Are you awake?" Zhao Junsheng asked with a smile, "I guessed that you were about to wake up, so I asked Li Bao to ask someone to prepare meals, and we'll go back to Pinggang after eating!"

Hua Mulan got up from Zhao Junsheng's arms, "Brother Junsheng... have you been sitting like this all day?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll wake you up. I'm fine. I've been practicing. My legs don't feel numb, and my waist doesn't feel sore."

Chapter 517

After Hua Mulan had a good night's sleep, she was in good spirits, had a big appetite, and ate deliciously.

"Brother Junsheng, it will take two days to march from Fancheng to Pinggang at the fastest speed. Even if Lao Lu runs fast, how can you come here so quickly?" Hua Mulan asked while eating.

Zhao Junsheng said: "We captured a lot of horses in Fan City. Lao Lu arrived the night before yesterday. We used one night to prepare. We set off yesterday morning and marched as fast as possible along the way. Don't stop, I arrived at Pinggang City late last night. I didn't lead my troops to kill them first. On the one hand, I was worried that I would startle the Yan army and end up in a melee. Learn some lessons, so I led the troops to attack Pinggang City, which has no defenders!"

Hua Mulan was so confused that she stopped eating, "Brother Junsheng, what's going on? Why did I hear this in a daze? What does it have to do with He Duoluo?"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to explain to Hua Mulan, "I sent someone to Yangwu to investigate, and He Duoluo wanted to get rid of you with the help of the Yan army, so he deliberately slowed down the marching speed during the march, and left Yangwu guard Yao Zhao. After ample time for deployment, Yao Zhao sent hundreds of soldiers to intercept He Duoluo in Shimengou, and on the other hand led troops to attack your right wing army! Based on He Duoluo's strength and the situation of the Yan army in Shimengou , It only took one day for him to attack, but he fought for three or four days, and he is still pretending until now. So I think he should be taught a lesson, and treat himself with his own way!"

After hearing this, Hua Mulan finally understood, "You captured Pinggang County first to scare Yao Zhao away. He would never dare to go back to Yangwu from Pinggang County, so he had to take a small path to Shimengou to attack He Duoluo!"
