Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters ten years return of the hero
"You all need to go home. Where is my, Li Siqi's home?"
This Great Yuan Shaanxi Pingzhang, with red eyes, violently pulled out his weapon and smashed it on the bricks at the top of the city. Sparks flew up and he even screamed: "Now that the matter has come to this, why should I listen to your mercy?
The worst case scenario is that the fish will die and the net will be destroyed! We will all perish in this fight!"
Li Siqi's roar made many of his cronies feel desolate... They were in the middle of the pass, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Wouldn't it be nice to be a local emperor?
Why should we surrender when the Ming army comes to kill us?
At worst, if we had a fight, we wouldn't know whose head would be down?
Almost at the same time, Li Siqi's deputy Fei Gao also arrived with a group of troops. Most of these troops were armored and armed with Hu cavalry.
They don't want to go home.
A war between the two sides is almost imminent.
At this time, Li Wu and Cui De were particularly calm. After all, their numbers were small, and Li Siqi was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If they got into a fight, they would be the ones to suffer.
But Li Siqi behaved strangely. He spoke harshly and decisively, but did not take any actions. From this point of view, there is still room for redemption.
To put it bluntly, isn’t this kind of thief just waiting for a price?
If that's the case, then give him the price he wants.
Li Wu reached out and threw the weapon on the ground, then took off his helmet and knelt in front of Li Siqi.
"Pingzhang was so benevolent that he took us in and never killed him. We owe Pingzhang a lot. Even if we pay Pingzhang this life, we can't compensate him. Logically speaking, we shouldn't rebel against Pingzhang. It's just that the brothers fought against him.
It’s too painful and I can’t bear it anymore. There’s nothing we can do.”
"At this point, we can only ask the Ming Dynasty to treat Pingzhang properly, preserve Pingzhang's power, treat Pingzhang's family preferentially, and arrange everything well. Otherwise, if they treat Pingzhang rudely, we, we will fight with them.
!”
When Li Siqi heard this, he almost wanted to laugh, "You said it nicely. After getting an official position in the Ming Dynasty, why don't you abandon me? If I don't have military power, I will be meat on the chopping board. How can the Ming army let me go?"
?At this point, are you going to treat me like a three-year-old child?"
Li Wu was also speechless for a moment, but he did not want to give up. He just kept begging, and Cui De also followed suit.
At the same time, Qi Gao and others, with their troops and horses, swarmed onto the city.
At one time, several parties were quarreling.
Coincidentally, Feng Guoyong's letter also arrived at this time.
Li Siqi took the letter in his hand and only glanced at it a few times before his temples bulged and his heart became furious.
"Okay, he is really powerful in the Ming Dynasty! He still wants to threaten me! I, Li Siqi, have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and the land thousands of miles behind me, all belong to me. I will fight against the city and destroy the cauldron. The number of victory or defeat is unknown!"
Fei Gao immediately followed and roared: "Pingzhang is right, how can a man be so inferior to others! Let's fight!"
Li Siqi gritted his teeth and looked at Li Wu, Cui De and others.
He suddenly laughed, "You want to go home, and I'm not that kind of bastard. But we have to make things clear. No one knows what the Ming army's plan is. If he wants me to surrender, he must take it."
Show your sincerity. I also sent a letter to Feng Guo. If you dare to come over and meet me to discuss peace matters, I will believe in Daming. If not, you are just lying to me. I advise you to be smart.
point!"
"The Ming army can lie to me, and they can also lie to you! If you want to go home, you probably won't end well. Why don't you follow me and fight against the city? You may have a better chance of survival!"
As expected of an old villain, Li Siqi was really good at shifting conflicts.
Li Wu, Cui De, and many other soldiers were speechless. They really didn't know the sincerity of Ming Dynasty. If they were arrested and beheaded when they returned home, it would be a loss of life.
This group of people temporarily settled down, but Qi Gao and others were overjoyed, "Pingzhang Gaoyong, Feng Guoyong will not dare to come over. The Ming army is hypocritical and will destroy itself without attacking."
Li Siqi didn't say much, but he asked people to prepare the house and prepare fine wine and food. If Feng Guoyong could come, please come in immediately and the two sides should have a good talk.
Three consecutive days passed, and Li Siqi barely slept, his eyes were red from sleep, and he was haggard. The two groups of his men were clearly differentiated. Some advocated surrender, while others shouted to fight and kill. They were tit for tat, almost to the point of drawing swords at each other.
Finally, the news came that Feng Guo had used it.
Governor Feng only had two followers, one holding a red flag flying in the wind, and the other holding a gold medal, shining brightly.
"Li Pingzhang, Feng is here as agreed. What do you want to talk about?"
When Li Siqi got the news, he almost ran to the top of the city. When he saw Feng Guoyong, his eyes were almost red, and he hated seeing him so late.
"We are six hundred miles apart. Governor Feng arrived so quickly. I really don't know what to say!"
Feng Guoyong laughed loudly, "Li Pingzhang, in order to keep the appointment, I ran and killed three good horses in two days! But I think it was worth it. Let's meet. You have tens of thousands of soldiers, and I have tens of thousands of soldiers under my command.
There is also the great cause of the Northern Expedition. Here I want to say that human life is more important than anything else, not to mention that we are originally a family, and it is really not worth it to fight against each other and kill each other!"
Li Siqi was greatly shaken and said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. Governor Feng, please come into the city!"
Li Siqi went down, opened the city gate, and greeted him personally.
Feng Guoyong smiled and jumped off his horse, marching straight into Fengxiang.
After all, he was a military general. He ran around day and night for hundreds of miles, and yet he was still in high spirits. If it had been Zhang Ximeng, he would have been lying down long ago.
But what is surprising is that Li Siqi's attitude towards Feng Guoyong is extremely cordial, as if he has been an old friend for many years.
"Captain Feng, please come this way!"
Li Siqi took Feng Guoyong to have a secret talk.
Unexpectedly, Feng Guoyong looked at the dense crowd of soldiers on both sides, suddenly stopped, and said with a smile: "Li Pingzhang, let's be honest. This negotiation is not for one person's glory and wealth, but for these tens of thousands of brothers.
Without a proper arrangement, I believe everyone is worried. And most of them are also afraid of some secret operations and behind-the-scenes transactions. Let’s just put everything on the table and have a clear discussion!”
Li Siqi was startled and surprised, he didn't do this!
Just as he was about to stop him, Feng Guoyong had already walked straight towards a group of soldiers. Coincidentally, these people were none other than Fei Gao's subordinates. Feng Guoyong walked to the middle of the crowd and sat down.
"Everyone, if you have any questions, tell me and I will answer it for you!"
After being stunned for a while, Qi Gao suddenly said: "You, who do you think you are? Do you keep your word?"
Feng Guoyong was not angry, but waved his hand and asked the accompanying soldiers to take the gold medal.
"Have you seen this, this is the gold medal awarded to me by the Emperor of Heaven! His Majesty said that during the Northern Expedition of Yue Fei, the Song Dynasty Lord recalled the twelve gold medals, which caused great injustice and endless disasters. Now he ordered me to go to the Northern Expedition, specially gave me the gold medal, and ordered me to control my civil and military affairs.
Take overall authority on the Western Front."
When Feng Guoyong said this, he glanced at Qian Gao and said with a smile: "General, who do you think I am?"
Qi Gao looked at the gold medal and finally gritted his teeth, "So you are a man of your word. Then I want to ask you, if you are not Han and don't want to go back to your hometown to farm, what are you going to do?"
Feng Guoyong took a look at this group of people. Judging from their clothing and appearance, he could tell that there were not many Han people among them, but quite a few Hu people.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you know? Before I was ordered to go north, Xianggong Zhang specifically explained that since the Anshi Rebellion, for hundreds of years, the Western Regions have been cut off from the Central Plains. The number of Han people has dropped sharply, and all tribes of barbarians have died.
Multiply, the number is large. The homeland cannot be abandoned, but they cannot act recklessly. As long as the barbarians are willing to submit, they can be ennobled with officials and temporarily control the tribes. As long as they have made meritorious deeds in the battle to regain their homeland, all rewards will be given to them.
We are generally the same."
Feng Guoyong said with a smile: "The Western Region is so big, it's a time for heroes and heroes to achieve great things. Didn't Genghis Khan lead an army to conquer countless territories in the west? If you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, we will settle down properly and don't want to plow the land.
You can herd sheep and horses. With the support of our Ming Dynasty, what do you want? Isn’t it easy to get it?"
As he spoke, Feng Guoyong took out a money order from his arms and said with a smile: "Here are three hundred thousand guan of treasure notes. As long as you agree to surrender, I will immediately order to set up a branch here to issue military pay to you.
The rest of the food and grass rewards will arrive immediately. All in all, I come here with sincerity, do you have anything else to say?"
Gao Gao and others looked around and found that the faces of the Huqi soldiers present changed, and they were greatly moved.
Li Wu, Cui De and others are unable to defeat them. Are these Hu Qi really willing to continue fighting?
In the final analysis, everyone is exhausted and unable to sustain themselves.
They opposed surrender, but they just held on for a while and waited for the price to sell, not wanting to be manipulated.
Coincidentally, Li Siqi thought so too.
He knew he couldn't fight and was unwilling to give up his power, so he resorted to such a move to force Feng Guo to negotiate. When he saw Old Feng, he was so happy that he almost cried.
If he doesn't come here, something will really happen, and Li Siqi will no longer be able to protect him.
But Li Siqi didn't expect that Feng Guoyong shook him off and communicated directly with the soldiers.
Anyway, you Li Siqi can't hold it back anymore, so why should I talk to you anymore, it's a waste of time!
You, Li Siqi, still want to use your soldiers to bargain with me?
What are you thinking about?
Zhang Xiang has taught us for so many years, and letting middlemen make the difference is simply a disservice to Zhang Xiang’s teachings!
Gao Gao looked at Feng Guoyong again and suddenly said: "Admiral Feng, we Hu people don't know much, are you willing to sworn sworn brothers with us? If you are willing, we will believe you!"
Feng Guoyong laughed loudly, "Of course I am willing, but you guys must understand that we are sworn brothers, and there is no difference between brothers."
Qi Gao gritted his teeth and suddenly kneeled to the ground, "Brother, I am willing to obey my brother's orders!"
Feng Guoyong was overjoyed, helped Qian Gao up, and then said to Li Siqi: "Li Pingzhang, do you have any objection?"
Li Siqi's old face turned red and he almost fell down with anger!
Not to mention that all his plans were in vain, these shameless people actually betrayed him in person and rushed to climb up the branches!
Deserve to kill!
They all deserve to be killed!
Feng Guoyong was full of bad ideas.
Those who are arrogant and shameless deserve to die even more.
There are also Li Wu and Cui De, none of whom are good people... Li Siqi silently calculated a circle and suddenly found that he had quite a lot of enemies.
In other words, he has made himself a loner, and now most of the people below him have listened to the Ming army. He has no other ability except to be angry.
"Captain Feng, Gao Ming, I am so humbled!"
Feng Guoyong chuckled, "From now on, we are all one family, and we will work together to assist His Majesty Zuo, regain our homeland, and accomplish great things!"
With only two followers, Feng Guoyong easily collected tens of thousands of Li Siqi's troops, which was simply a miracle... But for Li Xixi and others, these things had nothing to do with them.
Li Xixi just wanted to go home. She was tired and tired and didn't want to fight anymore.
Guard thirty acres of land, one cow, marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life!
On the second day after Feng Guoyong arrived in Fengxiang, nearly two thousand veterans stood up and came to bid farewell under the leadership of Li Xixi.
"Don't worry, everyone! I have already told Fu Youde to escort everyone back home. If anything happens in the future, just ask the Yamen for help. Your Northern Expeditionary Army has made great achievements!"
When Li Xixi heard this, she couldn't help it anymore and fell to her knees, "The Ming Dynasty has a great mind and is as generous as the sky! Li Xixi will never be lucky enough to serve the Ming Dynasty in this life. If the Li family has an heir, he will definitely be a pawn of the Ming Dynasty!"
The other veterans also cried and worshiped on the ground...
