The more confident the skylark was, Longqi became more confident and laughed at his speech. That is, even the skylark is not afraid. What's terrible about him? If something really happens, he will say that he has been kidnapped. With his status as a national teacher, there is still a lot of room for turning around.
As Skylark expected, he Guang is a smart man. He didn't choose to report immediately, but decided to look at the situation. Especially when he saw the deep trace of the bullet on his saber, he had no idea of reporting. As others have said, there will be no benefit in reporting. On the contrary, he will be watched by mercenaries. The danger exists at any time. Such a life is not what he wants.
It has been three days since he Guang left the Guoshi mansion. Three days later, the latest news came. The former army was defeated. General sang Weng La had to retreat to sangnu city and asked the king for reinforcements.
As soon as the news entered the capital of the country, it was a mess. There were chickens flying and dogs jumping on the court. All the ministers looked afraid. They seemed to worry that sangnu city would not be able to defend. In that case, wouldn't it mean that the capital of the country would be dangerous, and that Lancang kingdom would follow the footsteps of Jiaozhi and be destroyed?
Others say it's impossible to destroy the country. Even in the powerful Ming Dynasty, he just makes you surrender and won't occupy your territory. Because in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, these are wild places and have little value. But mercenaries are not. They have an excellent appetite. They really don't avoid meat and fish. They can really do things to destroy the country.
Under the leadership of the national division Longqi, all the literary ministers asked the king to send troops to aid sangnu city. Looking at the same scene below, King payasai is one of the first two.
Send soldiers, send soldiers, he wants to, but there must be soldiers to send. But now, in addition to the 20000 King's guards around, there are no more troops. Even if you go to conscription now, it always takes time.
"Your Majesty, please send troops quickly. In any case, mercenaries cannot cross sangnu city. Once that happens, the country will be in danger." Longqi continued to petition on behalf of the ministers.
"Yes, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." all the literary ministers below asked in unison.
At this time, even payasai can't stop it. Moreover, he knew in his heart that once the former army was really defeated, the 20000 King's guards in his hands might not play a big role. That is, it would be better to support the front line first. And then, in the national conscription, I hope I can come as soon as possible.
"OK, the king will send troops immediately." under great pressure, payasai finally made a decision. He Guang was chosen. Only 5000 of the 20000 King's guards were left, and the rest were handed over to the vice captain of the guard, hoping that he could help sang Weng and reverse the defeat.
The front army was defeated and he was appointed as the leader general. All this was expected by the special envoy Yun. The first time he Guang received the military order, he led several confidants to gather the army, and he himself came straight to the national division house.
It is said that they are asking about logistics supplies, but actually they come here to see the special envoy.
The three met again. Although it has only been three days, many things have changed. At this moment, he Guang has less pride and more respect. "Special envoy Yun, the end will be willing to surrender. Please teach me what to do next."
"Easy to say, easy to say." the lark smiled and reached into his arms. This time, what he took out was no longer a gun, but a silver ticket. There are denominations of one hundred Liang, two hundred Liang, five hundred Liang, one thousand Liang, two thousand Liang, five thousand Liang and ten thousand.
Hundreds of them add up to as much as 500000 Liang. After taking out these silver tickets, the skylark put them in front of he Guang, "general he, take these and buy off all the commanders, centurions, even the five commanders under your hand. This army will be the foundation for you to base yourself here in the future."
"Here... Give me so much." he Guang was excited when he saw so many silver tickets for the first time.
"Sorry, there's no you here. It's all for your subordinates. As for yourself, it's this one." the skylark smiled and took out another one from his arms, which said 200000 liang of silver.
He Guang handed the large silver ticket to him. The skylark said, "100000 Liang is the reward for you to join the company, and 100000 Liang is your annual salary for the next year. Now put it away."
People work first and give money. Zhongdan Gong gives money first. They all pay the same, but they feel completely different. The real gold and silver were in his hands. At this moment, he Guang was really moved and fell on his knees in front of the skylark, "special envoy Yun, thank you for your trust. You can rest assured that you will not be disappointed at the end."
"Well, we'd better wait for Zhongdan Gong to show his kneeling." the skylark smiled. With this kneeling, the task is completed this time. I believe the sixth young master will praise him.
"Zhong Dan Gong wants to come here? Didn't I kill people in sangnu city?" he Guang looked puzzled and puzzled.
The lark looked at Longqi and smiled. Just how to look at the latter's smile is somewhat reluctant, even some palpitation. It's not his fault. Who would have thought that the front army was defeated so miserably that he was startled when he heard the latest information in the skylark's hand.
The lark laughed and said to he Guang who had already got up: "General he, don't you know that sangnu city has been conquered, and Zhongdan just came to Vientiane city with a large army. Moreover, there is an ambush of mercenaries outside the city. They will cooperate with general he to solve the problems in Vientiane city. The time is tonight. The general will be responsible for opening the north gate at that time. There will be no problem."
"Ah!" he Guang was really frightened when he heard this news for the first time. Unexpectedly, the news of the siege of sangnu city came, and the city had been broken. What's more, the mercenaries had arrived at the bottom of the city, and he didn't know it? At the moment, his legs trembled, and he almost fell to his knees.
Without looking at he Guang's reaction, the skylark continued, "general he only needs to control the Royal Palace and the house of ministers. It's natural for mercenaries to take the Treasury, armory and granary. Do you understand?"
"I see. I'll see." he Guang, who had a little pride, became completely honest this moment. He thought the other party would rely on himself. Now he knows that even if he didn't make his own move, Vientiane city will be broken, but it's earlier and later.
"Master, I need your cooperation this time too." turning around, the skylark smiled and said to Longqi.
Reaching out and stroking his beard, Longqi nodded and laughed, "it's easy to say, it's easy to say, our national division will hold a banquet tonight to gather all the ministers in the city."
"It's better to be here." the lark smiled modestly when he knew that Longqi understood his meaning. So after the deployment, he just had to wait for the night to come.
He Guang left the Imperial College half an hour later and claimed that he had received the full help of the Imperial College. Food and grass were no longer a problem, so he summoned all his subordinates to hold a meeting. At the same time, many carriages came out of the Imperial College. These servants sent invitations to the ministers' houses in the city. It was said that they were going to convene the meeting Some civil servants work together for the army that is about to go to war. At the same time, they should also pray for the protection of gods together.
In this way, all the ministers who received the invitation would dare not obey the major events related to the National Games. No matter whether they made friends with the national teachers or not, if they didn't show up at this time, they would easily attract hatred. Just pretending, they all said they would go to the banquet on time.
Even when the news reached the palace, King payasse was pleased and sighed when he heard the news. At the critical time, he was very pleased that the ministers could unite together. He seemed to see the scene of their victory against mercenaries under the situation of unity.
"Hum! He Guang can hold his thighs and knows the importance of food and grass." The Guard commander Maud, who also got the news, looked contemptuous. But he didn't think deeply. On the contrary, after being jealous, he also decided to go to the banquet at the national division house in the evening. In any case, he couldn't let he Guang specialize in the past. He would also try to make a good relationship with the national division, and even obstruct the logistics supply of he Guangjun if possible. It can be seen that internal fighting is inevitable What a terrible thing.
Everything is going on in an orderly way. Everyone didn't expect that in a short time, danger would come and the national capital Vientiane city would be changed hands.
Besides, after he Guang returned to the barracks, he called all his officers together. Then he asked the soldiers to block the whole venue, and then began to smash silver tickets to buy people's hearts.
Not all soldiers value money, especially those who are king's guards. There are still some who can adhere to principles. Once they encounter people who don't give benefits or even yell at them, they will never be polite. They just look at each other, and some close guards rush up and kill people who don't know each other on the spot.
After killing more than a dozen people, the smell of blood was pungent, and the storm of resistance was suppressed. When everyone saw that resistance was only a dead end, that surrender could not only live, but also get money, many people wavered and signed the oath.
Once this word is signed, they will want to go back. It is very difficult for them to go back. He Guangke said that he would announce this agreement later. If anyone still has two minds, they will be neither inside nor outside, and even be assassinated by mercenaries in the future.
