Black Dog and others were discussing how to accept Liang Guo's recruitment and how to perform this scene well. At the critical moment, when they cooperated with His Majesty's army to give Liang Guo a fatal blow, a soldier quickly ran from below the city and shouted loudly.
Said: "The great master, the great master!"
"Why are you shouting so hard? Say something quickly, and fart if you have anything to say." Hei Gou stood up and shouted lightly. This soldier is Hei Gou's personal confidant and knows Hei Gou's true identity.
At this time, the soldier looked strange and said loudly: "Master, the Emperor of Liang has sent an envoy over!"
"So fast?" Black Dog said with some surprise: "Go, take the envoy into the city and bring him to the meeting hall."
After the soldiers took the order and left, the black dog's eyes flashed and he said: "Let's go! Go meet this messenger, put on a good show, and get as many benefits as possible."

In the governor's mansion of Changsha City, the black dog, the big horse, and the golden sword were sitting at the top. On both sides stood the four dead soldiers who came out from Snake Island with him. The five of them looked at the envoy sent by Xiao Zhang coldly.
.
"Who are you? Why have you come to my Changsha city?" Black Dog suddenly shouted.
The envoy thought he would be treated politely. After all, he was here to deliver an official to these mud-legged thieves. Unexpectedly, although he was not given any trouble when he came in, he did not feel any courtesy. At this time, he was even more harassed by Black Dog and others.
I felt quite uncomfortable watching it, and felt a little chilly in my heart.
Black Dog was originally a Jiangyang thief. Because he had done all kinds of bad things, he was later captured on Snake Island and was trained by Nie Xiaoyu to become a dead soldier. Not to mention that he was a master in his own right and the master of the rest of his life.
, I have experienced many cruel and brutal wars, and I don’t know how many lives are on my hands.
The most important thing is that Black Dog has gone through Nie Xiaoyu's purgatory process of training dead soldiers, and he naturally has an evil spirit that ordinary people don't have. At this time, he asked the question with a cold look, which immediately made the Liang Kingdom envoy feel a layer of anger all over his body.
Goosebumps.
The envoy suddenly became a little angry. Who was he? He was a senior official of the fourth rank in the Liang Kingdom, and he was a member of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. But the dark-skinned thief in front of him was nothing. If he had not shouldered the responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor,
This thief leader was not even qualified to carry his own shoes, and now he was trying to get his nose in his face. He had already declared that he was a messenger sent by the imperial court before entering the city. It would be fine if this damn bastard didn't kneel down to salute.
How could he be so rude?
Here the envoy thinks that he represents the imperial court. Since ancient times, whenever the imperial court wants to recruit thieves, the thieves will readily agree. After all, no one likes to be a thief. Anyone who can become an official will be unwilling to do so.
Therefore, he thought that after the black dog saw him, he would kneel down and kowtow in surprise, and he was so pleasantly surprised, but the other party's reaction was obviously very different from what he expected, which made him feel a huge sense of loss.
"No, I am an envoy. The court cannot lose its face and its momentum." Thinking of this, the envoy sneered and shouted: "Your Changsha City?"
"Black dog, you are so arrogant even when you are about to die." The messenger stretched out his hand and shouted loudly, full of authority.
The black dog laughed loudly, slammed the table, and cursed: "Who are you? You dare to come to my place and make noise. Believe it or not, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
Several black dogs at the door
When the soldier heard this, he drew his sword out of its sheath with a swipe, and stared with murderous eyes.
The expressions of the two guards brought by the envoy suddenly changed, and they immediately took a step forward, blocking the envoy on the left and right behind them.
The envoy's face also changed greatly, and he shouted with some stern expression: "How dare you. I am an envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom. I am the only way for you to survive now. How dare you be so rude!"
Black Dog sneered again and again and said: "Messenger, right? I don't care what your name is, I don't even bother to know."
"But I know that if I kill you today, will your emperor send an army to destroy me? Or will you send a new envoy to talk to me?"
The envoy's face couldn't help but change. He knew that if he was really killed by the opponent, his death might be in vain. Not only did this black dog have more than 10,000 fighting soldiers, the most important thing was that he occupied Changsha City, and his position was quite large.
as the key.
But now that the Liang Kingdom has no extra men to annihilate this bandit army, His Majesty the Emperor still wants to recruit more than 10,000 bandit troops, and then trick them into the front line to fight against the Da'an army or the Nanzhao monkeys.
!
In short, from Xiao Zhang's point of view, in this case, if he, the messenger, dies, as long as Black Dog finally accepts the imperial court's offer, his death as the messenger will be worthless, and his death will truly be in vain.
Therefore, although the envoy was extremely ashamed and angry, he had to endure this breath and swallow the incomparable resentment alive as the thoughts in his mind were whirling.
Because he knew that if he really pissed off the mad dog in front of him and cut himself with a knife without caring about anything, that would really be an injustice!
What's more, I came here with His Majesty the Emperor's will to recruit this black dog. If he failed or turned against me, His Majesty the Emperor would not spare me if I went back.
"Okay, Mr. Master, I am here to discuss the recruitment matter with you today. I am not here to quarrel with the Mr. Master." The envoy said with a gentle look at this time.
"Recruitment?" Black Dog's eyes lit up, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure, pretending to be calm and sneered angrily: "How do I know if you are deceiving me? When I accept the recruitment,
Are you looking for another opportunity to trap me?"
The envoy saw the change in Hei Gou's expression just now and was overjoyed. It seemed to him that Hei Gou himself also wanted to be recruited, so he was determined and said: "Master, you can rest assured. Now that the Nanzhao monkeys are rebelling, the imperial court
It's just a plan to employ people, the master is very brave, your majesty appreciates the master's bravery, and will never do anything to trap or kill!"
Black Dog was amused in his heart, and a look of emotion finally appeared in his eyes, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "It's just that we, the ten thousand people, don't have any good weapons and equipment. If after the recruitment, the court lets us go
I don't want to go fight those monkeys in Nanzhao."
The messenger quickly said: "Weapons are easy to talk about. As long as the big boss accepts the recruitment, the court will naturally issue armors and weapons to the big boss, and even provide food and salary. But when the time comes, the big boss will really be needed to fight the Nanzhao monkeys, and the big boss only needs
If you make great achievements, you will definitely be awarded a title or promotion, and glory and wealth will be at your fingertips!"
Black Dog sniffed, and after pretending to hesitate, he said reluctantly: "I'm afraid that the court will treat us as cannon fodder, so let's
I can attack Nanzhao, but I don’t want the imperial court to send people to point fingers at me.”
Upon hearing that he finally agreed directly, the envoy was already ecstatic, thinking that his great success had been achieved, and he quickly said: "Master, you can rest assured. As long as the master is willing to go to Nanzhao to fight the monkeys and share your worries, your Majesty will issue an order." Let the leader form an army on his own, and he will never send anyone to tell him what to do."
"In this case, I will accept the recruitment, but this official must not be too small!" Hei Gou said this in his mouth, but he was laughing in his heart.
As an enemy of the Liang State, not only did the Liang State use its weapons and armor, but the Liang State also provided food, fodder, and military pay. There was such a good thing in the world.
It's just that the Emperor of Liang wants us to fight against the Nanzhao tribe. How can we make great achievements in this? We need to plan carefully. We can't really bring in the Nanzhao monkeys. Although the Nanzhao monkeys are from the Guoan Prefecture. The people under Commander Shen promoted the rebellion, but they only wanted them to contain Liang's military strength, and they did not want to share Liang's territory with them.

The envoy sent by Emperor Xiao Zhuang of Liang State went back to Xiao Zhuang with satisfaction. In front of Xiao Zhuang, he boasted about his brilliant tongue and persuaded the leader of the bandits, Black Dog, to agree to recruit him as long as he gave them With some weapons and equipment and food and military pay, they can fight the rebellious Nanzhao monkeys for Your Majesty and the imperial court.
This made Xiao Zhang very happy and he credited the envoy with great merit. He was even promoted and rewarded with gold, silver and women.
In the next few days, the Liang court quickly sent Black Dog a formal decree to confer an official position, as well as official uniforms and official seals, and of course a batch of weapons, equipment, grain and grass, as well as the first batch of thirty thousand taels of military pay.
However, Xiao Qiang also ordered Black Dog to set off immediately to attack the Nanzhao tribe, and promised that as long as the Nanzhao tribe was defeated, he would be promoted and crowned, etc.!

On February 19, the second year of Da'an Kingdom and Tianxiang, Qin Qiong led the three armies of Gangdao, Huaibei and Baoxiong to besiege Xin'an County for half a month, and finally managed to break it open with a super attack and a series of explosions and collisions. At a city gate, Li Xuanba led 50,000 cavalry and charged through the city gate.
At the same time, Qin Qiong ordered Wei Daoer and Li Zitong's troops to divide into three groups and block the other three city gates from the outside.
When other people attack a city, they always surround it with only three and one missing, in order to prevent the defenders from desperately resisting.
But Qin Qiong did the opposite and tried to catch a turtle in a jar.
The reason for doing this is firstly because the army of the Da'an Empire has this strength. Secondly, Qin Qiong wants Liang Guo to completely lose 200,000 troops. Thirdly, according to the intelligence information from the city by the spies of the Military Intelligence Agency, the number of soldiers in Xin'an City is The defenders will never fight to the end, and will definitely surrender when a certain point is reached. Otherwise, they may force the opponent to fight to the end. Even with the military strength of Da'an, they will suffer a lot of losses.
Sure enough, the battle was as predicted. Li Xuanba chased the enemy in the city to kill Liang Jun. Three gates outside, Li Zitong and Wei Daoer's troops blocked Liang Jun who was trying to escape. After that, 40,000 to 50,000 people died. After that, Liang Jun's military morale began to waver. When the coach Zhang Ruowei was slightly injured by Li Xuanba and led the cavalry to chase him to death, Liang Jun's morale collapsed completely.
Soon, under the leadership of several generals, except for the soldiers who were loyal to Xiao Qiang and Zhang Ruowei's personal confidants, others began to surrender in large numbers.
