Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh destroying the enemy in the middle
Being tied up by Wu Hua Da and standing on the boat, Tang Zhengliang was very angry and aggrieved.
He knew that Zhang He would definitely not sit back and watch the bloody battle at Laoyashan, and would definitely send reinforcements, but he never expected that the reinforcements would be easily ambushed and eliminated by Xiao Shilian. It was so easy that none of these incompetent guys could break out of the siege to report the news.
And he never expected that Xiao Shilian did not take the opportunity to attack the city or attack Laoya Mountain instead, but continued to wait for the rabbit on the road, so he successfully defended his fat rabbit.
It has to be said that Tang Zhengliang was very cautious when retreating from Laoya Mountain. Each department provided cover, and he led the Tang family's children and personal guards at the rear to block the enemy's assault at any time. For this reason, the following generals
They also cooperated with his command - the generals were on top. It would be too unethical for them to get into a mess and run away regardless of their lives.
However, Tang Zhengliang discovered that Chen Zhishen had no intention of tracking him after he captured the Laoyashan camp. He just sent out sentries to hang at a distance, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance. After all, Chen Zhishen had to rest after fighting for so long.
Therefore, Tang Zhengliang directly ordered a full-speed retreat - for a remnant of soldiers in the wilderness between Laoyashan and Bajun City, it was really dangerous to move forward slowly. But they never thought that the real enemy was not behind them.
And in front.
So when Xiao Shilian led the army that had been waiting for a long time to fight out, how could these 500 defeated soldiers still have fighting spirit? It was good that they could cooperate with Tang Zhengliang's retreat without becoming a mess. If you want them to follow Tang Zhengliang to fight, then
It's nothing more than a fantasy.
Of course, Tang Zhengliang didn't want to be captured without hesitation, but he was quickly stopped by his son Tang Qi and his disciples - if Tang Zhengliang died, the entire Tang family in Ba County would really be wiped out.
What's more, the surrounding generals belonging to Zhang He didn't look at Tang Zhengliang very kindly. It was obvious that they were also considering whether to capture Tang Zhengliang and use it as a bargaining chip to survive.
As Tang Zhengliang put down his weapons, more than 500 people surrendered naturally. Xiao Shilian was very dissatisfied and cursed for a while. It was obvious that the enemy was weaker than he imagined. However, he did not dare to delay and took care of the most important people first.
The captives Tang Zhengliang and Tang Qi and his son were sent to Li Xinchen's boat, then organized the team and moved towards Bajun.
First, he was forced by Zhang He to go to Laoya Mountain, and then he was surrounded on the way back due to the incompetence of his teammates. Finally, he was even dragged into surrender by his son and subordinates. To be in such a situation, Tang Zhengliang was not aggrieved.
And anger is impossible.
If Tang Qi and himself were not detained separately, Tang Zhengliang would have wanted to scold his son first, although he knew in his heart that Tang Qi did this for him and for the entire Bajun Tang family. After all, the Bajun Tang family cannot live without its backbone.
And he, Tang Zhengliang, is not too old to fight anymore and seek to achieve fame by being shrouded in horse hides.
However, as an honest man, Tang Zhengliang still felt that he was ashamed of Zhang He and his relatives who were still in Bajun City.
"Master (Tang Zhengliang's first name), I haven't seen you for a long time." The cabin door opened, and several generals in full body armor strode in. The middle-aged man following the young man in front took the lead in saying hello to Tang Zhengliang.
.
Hearing this voice, Tang Zhengliang was startled for a moment, then opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows involuntarily, "Dai Zidong, I didn't expect your knees to be so weak. You have transformed from a barrier in Bajun to a pawn of the enemy. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
Listening to the cold sarcasm in Tang Zhengliang's words, Dai Cai smiled: "Brother, you are as good-tempered as ever. It's just that what you said just now was wrong."
"Oh?" Tang Zhengliang snorted coldly, "Don't say you haven't surrendered yet."
"He is now under the command of General Da Chen Dangkou. What you said is right. But the other sentence is wrong. He is not a barrier to Ba County." Dai Cai said calmly, obviously Tang Zhengliang's reaction
It was also within his expectation, "Sir, ask yourself, when did Zhang He regard XX as his barrier? The huge Baidi City guards the throat of Kuimen, but XX only has a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people under his command.
Is this what a major town in Ba County should look like?!"
Dai Cai's words were quite calm at first, but then his tone suddenly increased and his hands trembled slightly. Apparently thinking of Zhang He's suppression of him, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart.
"Prince Zhang has done a lot of things to you, but you shouldn't either..." Tang Zhengliang wanted to argue, but knew that his words were powerless, and he had no obligation or desire to argue with Zhang He.
I could only sigh deeply, "Oh!"
Dai Cai is older than him, and his talents are well known to the civil and military officials in the surrounding counties. However, Dai Cai has been in Yong'an for more than ten years and has struggled to maintain Yong'an's defense. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. According to the regulations
The process should also be promoted. However, because of Zhang He's slander and suppression of Dai Cai for so many years, Dai Cai could only stay in Baidi City and grow old with Baidi City and the more than a thousand soldiers.
.
Tang Zhengliang could not understand the grievance and helplessness in this, but he knew that it would definitely be more uncomfortable than himself now. It is no wonder that Dai Cai quickly surrendered to Nanchen.
Tang Zhengliang could also guess a little bit about Dai Cai's mentality. If it were any other person, as long as he could be promised a clear future, Dai Cai would fight for it. Obviously Li Xingchen was not such a stingy person.
"Zhang He has indeed gone too far over the years. It is understandable that you surrendered. I can only blame the court for letting Zhang He go," Tang Zhengliang said in a low voice, "But don't try to persuade someone to surrender..."
"So the elder brother doesn't want to see his family anymore?" The young man next to him who had not spoken since he came in said calmly at this time, while winking at Dai Cai to let him calm down first.
Tang Zhengliang raised his eyelids slightly: "Are you Li Xinchen?"
"Li Xinchen, the general of the great Chen Dang bandits, has met the head of the Tang family." Li Xinchen smiled slightly.
"You are younger than someone imagined." Tang Zhengliang's voice became much calmer. Troubled times are an era that respects the strong. As an out-and-out steady and honest man, Tang Zhengliang insists on defeating his opponents.
Showing the most basic respect, he also took this opportunity to avoid Li Xingchen's pointed question just now.
Li Xingchen couldn't deny it, and glanced sideways at the river outside the porthole window. The fleet had arrived outside Bajun City, and he could see the Bajun City Wall not far away: "The head of the Tang family can sacrifice his life for righteousness, but he has to think about his family.
The head of the Tang family thinks that if someone releases the news that the head of the Tang family voluntarily surrendered to our army in Laoya Mountain, what will Zhang He do?"
Tang Zhengliang was stunned for a moment, then struggled and shouted: "Li Xinchen, you are despicable!"
