Governor Lu, who came over after hearing the news, had a gloomy face. The nearly 20,000 people who rushed out were almost all forbidden troops, the most powerful force in the city. The remaining 80,000 people were almost all government soldiers, and some were new recruits. How could we fight?
"Captain, Lu Zhonglang will be killed." A guard hurried over and said.
"Where is the body?" Governor Lu asked angrily.
Soon, someone carried the body over and carefully placed it on the ground.
Governor Lu rushed forward and kicked him, while cursing: "It's useless. Even the most powerful army can't save your own life if I leave it to you. What's the use of you? You've killed me!"
After saying that, You Bujie hated him and stepped in again.
Everyone around them didn't dare to persuade or even look at them. They all turned away and looked at the troops rushing out of the city. Their eyes were inexplicably more envious. They wished they could go there too. They even hated themselves for being hesitant just now and not taking the opportunity to run out.
It's fine now, let's stay and wait for death.
At this moment, the army that successfully escaped became the last straw that crushed the Qinzhou defenders. Everyone had different thoughts. People who knew each other secretly made eye contact, and no one knew what they were thinking.
A strange atmosphere filled the air.
Governor Lu was immersed in anger and did not notice this strange atmosphere, but he knew what to do and shouted: "Send the order, officers above General Lang will go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters. Anyone who does not come will be punished as a traitor."
"Follow the order!"
…
Unlike Governor Lu's anger, Qin Huaidao was full of surprise.
In the Chinese army tent, Qin Huaidao looked at the two people in front of him, feeling a little familiar, and thought carefully.
Zhang Xing and Jiang Tong did not dare to speak after receiving the courtesy. They were worried that they would be rejected and became nervous.
The atmosphere in the big tent was a bit strange.
Fortunately, this weird atmosphere did not last long. Qin Huaidao suddenly remembered something and asked uncertainly: "Are you... Zhang Xing, are you Jiang Tong?"
"Yes, it's the two of us. Thank you King Han for remembering us." The two people's eyes suddenly lit up and they became excited. What an honor it was to be remembered by the famous King Han.
"Hahaha, it's really you two. I said you look familiar."
Qin Huaidao didn't think much about it. They had fought together and were considered comrades. They were particularly cordial when they met again. He looked at Zhang Xing and said: "You are good at martial arts and have strong opinions, but you don't read enough. I remember you once said that you have read three
It's a pity, but the problem is not big. I am planning to build a martial arts academy. After the war, you can go and learn it. The principal of the academy is Duke Wei."
"real?"
Zhang Xing was overjoyed, his eyes were shining, he stared at Qin Huaidao and asked eagerly: "King of Han, you are a very important person, don't you want to trick me?"
"What's the point of lying to you? You're not a beautiful woman, and you don't have the money for me to lie to you."
"Hey hey hey!"
Zhang Xing scratched his head and smiled, as if he had returned to the time of Goguryeo. His easy-going words and cordial exchanges, without any sense of superiority, were so good!
"King of Han, where am I?" Jiang Tong glanced at Zhang Xing enviously and asked.
"My king, do you remember who you learned the art of war from? You forgot, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing, you can go. Not only you, everyone who has made military exploits will have a chance." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Thank you, King Han!" Zhang Xing and Jiang Tong said almost at the same time, with solemn expressions on their faces. They knew in their hearts that with their trust firmly established, not only would they not be punished or excluded, but they would also be reused.
The King of Han is still the trustworthy King of Han!
At this moment, the two of them felt at ease.
Qin Huaidao looked at the two of them and smiled: "The military system of Hanzhou is different from that of the imperial court. You have brought a lot of people and need to be reorganized. Do you have any objections?"
"No objection, I know my own business. It's okay to bring one or two thousand people, but more than enough will not be enough." Zhang Xing immediately expressed his position. He had thought about this before coming and was mentally prepared.
Jiang Tong also quickly expressed his position: "It's all up to the King of Han to make the decision, not to mention that many of the people who came out are not ours. It is high justice for the King of Han to take us in."
"It's best for you two to think so. There is only one rule in the Hanzhou Army, which is to rely on military merit. You have just arrived and are not familiar with the situation. It may not be suitable for you to be in a high position. Many people with higher status in the court than you started from the rank of regimental commander.
You will know this if you inquire a little later."
"Captain?" The two of them were a little confused and didn't understand what their position was.
Qin Huaidao explained: "The regiment leader leads about 1,500 people."
When it came to the number of people, the two of them roughly understood. Zhang Xing quickly said: "King Han, my subordinates can only lead so many troops now. If you come here, it means that you are not surrendering. I'm afraid it's not right? I'm willing to lower it a little more. A man should take it with the sword in his hand."
With his fame, the King of Han does not need to dwell on the past, nor does he need to worry about his subordinates being dissatisfied."
"That's right, it's better to be lower. I've just arrived and haven't made any achievements yet. It's hard to convince the public by being given such a high position. The King of Han also said just now that those with higher positions in the court than us all start from the head of the regiment. We and I have lower positions, so arrange a
We can do it with a lower level, even a small soldier, as long as the King of Han doesn't drive us away." Jiang Tong also quickly expressed his position.
Qin Huaidao saw that the two of them were self-aware, knew how to advance and retreat, and understood the general picture. He appreciated it a little more and said with a smile: "Who said you have not made any achievements? Bringing nearly 20,000 people is a great achievement. Once these 20,000 people come, Qinzhou will
The strength is greatly reduced, the morale is greatly reduced, and laying the foundation for the subsequent siege is also a great achievement, that’s it.”
The two exchanged glances and said solemnly: "Thank you, King Han!"
"Someone is coming!"
A royal guard hurried in.
"Take the two of you down to have a rest, explain the military rules and regulations, and then arrange for a battalion to go over and assist in the reorganization."
"Follow the order!" the other party responded solemnly.
Qin Huaidao looked at Zhang Xing and Jiang Tong and said with a smile: "Go ahead, I won't bother you with the attack on Qinzhou."
"King Han, there is something else that needs to be reported." Zhang Xing said quickly.
"Oh, tell me."
Zhang Xing did not hesitate and continued: "To inform the King of Han, there are many generals in the city who want to join us, but their families are in Luoyang or other places, and they are worried about implicating the family, so they dare not. However, my subordinates estimate that the King of Han's army will enter the city."
Later, they will take the opportunity to defect."
"I understand, don't worry, as long as you change sides, it's considered surrender."
Zhang Xing continued: "If possible, my subordinates are familiar with the situation in the city and are willing to lead the way, and persuade others to surrender before the battle."
"My subordinates are also willing!" Jiang Tong said quickly.
Qin Huaidao didn't want the two of them to be in trouble, so he didn't plan to let the two of them join the battle tonight. He didn't even ask them to inquire about the situation in the city. Unexpectedly, the two of them took the initiative to stand up. They were so sincere that he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, then
That’s it.”
After saying that, Qin Huaidao looked at the Jin Yiwei and warned: "First take two people to find the British Duke to talk about the situation and layout of the city, so that the British Duke can have the bottom line, and then go to reorganization."
"Follow the order!" the other party quickly agreed and led the two of them away.
Qin Huaidao watched the two people walk out of the Chinese military tent, feeling very happy.
