Chapter 592

Liu Guotai is from Yulin and has been in the army for generations. His brother is Liu Guozheng, the one who died in the war when fighting with the wandering bandits. However, since his brother died in the war, Liu Guotai has been promoted from a general to a general.

This time, after he was in charge of the temple, he was always angry because he thought Hong Chengchou was wearing small shoes for him.

Hong Chengchou is a villain. He has been aiming at him and asked him to do the hardest work and fight the hardest war, but he refused to count his share of money and food.

For example, this time, after he heard that he could retreat, Liu Guotai was the first to order the troops to pack up and prepare to leave, but he was told that he was ordered to be the general army of Hejian, responsible for guarding Hejian mansion.

Liu Guotai scolded his mother angrily on the spot. Now he has promoted me to the chief soldier. What have you done? Fortunately, he will not die. He was appointed the chief soldier of Hejian mansion. You know, the imperial court has abandoned Hejian mansion and let him hang the position of the chief soldier of Hejian mansion. This makes him have to live or die with Hejian mansion. This is to kill him. Can he not scold his mother?

When Hong Chengchou was in danger, he promoted Liu Guotai. Instead of making the other party grateful for his tears, he made the other party angry and thought that Hong Chengchou deliberately killed him.

Therefore, Liu Guotai did not have a good face one day after he became the chief soldier. He was scolding. In particular, Hong Chengchou's army withdrew north and took away a lot of food, which made him even more angry.

He thinks that he is now alone and should hoard a lot of food and grass. The other party only gave him a little food and grass, which can only make the soldiers barely eat. How can it make people fight desperately.

In Liu Guotai's words, food doesn't make people full, but it makes people work hard. Do you really think others are little mothers? So when Hong Chengchou's army retreated to the north, Liu Guotai became the commander-in-chief of Hejian and the highest officer of this area, that is, no one could manage it. He ordered the soldiers to rob the women, enter the camp and drink and have fun day and night.

In his words, it used to be a little girl. Now it's a water ghost who has been promoted to a City God and has become a principal official. Now the enjoyment in front of us is that the land Lord eats grasshoppers -- at least it's a meat.

Liu Guotai thought that Liu Jun stationed in Linqing would not dare to send troops easily because the roads were closed by heavy snow. Isn't it good for them to eat and drink spicy food in the city? He had to take the risk of wind and snow blocking the road to attack his strong city, so he didn't make any preparation at all. He thought he was responsible for sticking to it here.

Who knows, Xiao Ning led tens of thousands of troops, suddenly appeared outside the city of Hejian mansion, surrounded Hejian mansion, which made his little temple on fire -- panic.

Xiao Ning was originally responsible for attacking Dongchang mansion. After taking Dongchang mansion, he began to rectify public security, calm the rebellion in his mansion and eradicate the residual forces of the Ming army.

Of course, on the surface, Liu Jiajun publicly announced that Liu Buzai led 10000 troops to be stationed here to confront the enemy. In fact, Xiao Ning's main force is mainly in charge of military affairs in the western area of Dongchangfu. It is stationed in Linqing area to deal with Hong Chengchou at any time.

After he cleaned up the interior and the residual forces of the Ming army in the territory, he attacked Cangzhou in response to Liu bubing's departure from Dezhou.

Therefore, he secretly assembled his troops to launch an offensive against Hejian Prefecture.

Xiao Ning's task is to garrison Dongchangfu and prevent the main force of the Ming army from going south to Shandong. To put it bluntly, it is defense, but Xiao Ning knows that attack is the best defense.

If he defends passively, the enemy will attack from multiple directions. No matter how he plays, it is difficult to resist. However, if he takes the initiative to attack Hejian mansion and sets the battlefield in Hejian mansion, he can effectively block the enemy, which is the same as Liu Feiyun's strategy.

So before Liu Bu left Texas, he began to secretly assemble his troops to prepare for a strike against Hejian Prefecture.

At that time, Hong Chengshou was still stationed in Hejian mansion, garrisoning 100000 troops, but Xiao Ning's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He directly prepared to give each other a good-looking, teach each other to be a man, let him stay in Hejian mansion honestly, and don't harm his good deeds.

But he was not ready for the army. Liu Bu had destroyed Tianxiong's army and scared Hong Chengchou into a panic and fled.

Seeing the opportunity, Xiao Ning immediately led his troops out of Linqing, raided Hejian and surrounded Hejian in one fell swoop.

Hong Chengchou has 100000 troops here. He dares to take the initiative to attack. Now Hong Chengchou has withdrawn from here, leaving some disabled soldiers and defeated generals. He doesn't take the other party as one thing.

Liu Guotai is very brave. He is good at using a long gun. On the battlefield, he rushes to the front and blocks all the people. However, his leader is just like an ordinary person. He is a kind of brave and resourceless person.

In particular, his military discipline was extremely poor. Hong Chengchou used to be in charge here and had certain constraints. When Hong Chengchou left and let him preside over the overall situation, he was lawless. In just a few days, he made the Hejian government a mess, and the people complained.

Even his soldiers are very dissatisfied. This is because it is so cold that a lot of food and grass are left on it. As a result, Liu Guotai embezzled half of it directly.

Liu Guotai came from an ordinary military family. Their two brothers fought bravely by themselves, so he also had his own way of running the army. He always said that these soldiers are not good birds. They can't eat enough and have to make trouble when they eat enough. Therefore, this has become a reason for him to deduct his military pay.

After embezzling military grain, the goods were sold to black market merchants and turned into silver. They sent troops to the countryside of Yulin overnight. In this way, it's strange that the soldiers are not angry?

Therefore, the whole Hejian Prefecture is in panic and beset with difficulties at home and abroad.

After Xiao Ning sent troops to surround Hejian mansion, this panic and anxiety became even greater. All the people were in a mess and looked for their own way to survive, but few people thought about how to resist with the tall wall of Hejian mansion.

After Xiao Ning surrounded Hejian mansion, he immediately put down his cruel words and limited the other party to surrender within three days, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay when the city is broken.

Such cruel words frightened the garrison and people in the city. They didn't have the heart to die. Now they have nothing to say when they encounter the cruel lord.

Liu Guotai knew he was afraid at this time. He quickly summoned a group of his confidants to discuss. However, they knew that Liu Jiajun was a group of ruthless masters who could say and do it. Just like Tianxiong army, they could fight. Finally, Liu Jiajun was killed by the regiment, surrendered and lived well. Everywhere they went, they were an uncle who insisted on resistance and were killed, Was blown to pieces.

Therefore, they are afraid that they will follow the footsteps of the Tianxiong army, so they can't come up with an effective method after discussion, but they still do one thing, that is, they ask Hong Chengchou, who is far away in Baoding, for help at the first time.

But they clearly understand that they are also asking for help. Hong Chengchou has just escaped back. The reason why he escaped is to avoid the soldiers of Liu Jiajun. How dare he take the initiative to fight, so they think they are dead end.

Liu Guotai scolded his mother angrily. He said: "the imperial court is more stingy than the local rich men in Shanxi. It gives us three walnuts and two sour dates and wants us to work hard. This is a loss business. We don't learn from Lu Manzi. So many people died without even a pension. It's a white death."

Liu Guotai said this to everyone. Since these people were left behind, their hearts were full of complaints. They thought they were the abandoned ones. The imperial court just wanted to use them as scapegoats and turn them into knife guards.

If the imperial court gives the Tianxiong army a good pension, we still have a little balance in our hearts, but even if the Tianxiong army's pension has not come down for a long time, the imperial court has made a mess. We all know that even death is estimated to be worthless and worthless, so no one has the heart to fight to the death.

This is the biggest difference between Tianxiong army and other armies. That is, Tianxiong army never wanted to surrender, while other armies never wanted to resist in the face of strong enemies. They just wanted to protect their lives and maintain their wealth. Therefore, Liu Guotai's words won everyone's approval, so they decided to send envoys to negotiate with Liu Jiajun.

Xiao Ning is planning an attack on Hejian mansion. As a result, the emissary sent by the other party said it was peace talks with him, which surprised Xiao Ning. The two sides have become water and fire. What's there to talk about? Just call.

As a result, the messenger of the other party came to surrender to ask what price Liu Jiajun could offer?

This makes Xiao Ning a little out of reach. He is ready to fight a hard battle with the other party. It's best to destroy the other party, but the other party doesn't want to fight with him, but talks about surrender. What conditions can the other party offer?

Since the other party said so, Xiao Ning knew that these people were a group of counsellors and didn't dare to fight at all. He said, "if you have any conditions, you might as well put forward them."

It would be very beneficial for Liu Jiajun if he could win Hejian mansion without cutting blood. Since the other party offered to surrender, he could not miss this opportunity.

Liu Guotai's envoy said, "my general hopes to ensure the safety of our lives and property after taking refuge in Liu Jiajun, and continue to command the people and horses of our headquarters. When a general not lower than the general army level, food, grass and military pay must be supplied on time. Our headquarters listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement."

Such a condition can only be agreed, but Xiao Ning said, "this is the condition of your general? Nothing else?"

When Xiao Ning asked, the emissary named Liu Guozhu was a little strange, but he said honestly: "there is also a settlement fee of ten Liang silver for each soldier, otherwise our army will not lay down its arms and surrender, but can only fight to the death!"
