Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 206

Mr. Uncle Sun, who opened the way, should absolutely hate himself for being cowardly and greedy for life and fear of death, for being able to miss such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

As Mr. Shusun guessed, in fact, when he first entered the city to persuade him to surrender, he was cornered by Zhao Gao's absurd orders. However, the Qin army in Nanyang still had hope of defending Wancheng, so Lu Yu calmed down and did not immediately make up his mind to surrender. When he was not very sure, he insisted on taking a risk and trying his best to win a weak victory. hope.

After venturing out of the city and suffering a disastrous defeat, the Nanyang Qin army not only had no hope of victory, they were even uncertain about holding Wancheng. Wei Qiu'an of Nanyang County, who was not under his control, came to add fuel to the fire again, wanting to shift all the responsibility for the disastrous defeat in the night battle to Lu Wei, and threatened to make a small report to the court. Lu Wei, who had been threatened by Zhao Gao Under the rage, not only became more determined to surrender, but also became murderous toward Qiu An.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Li Shiqi to go to the city to persuade him to surrender, but after listening to Li Shiqi's earnest persuasion, Lu Shi left the table and bowed down to Li Shiqi, expressing his willingness The attitude of surrender, and then, with the help of Chen Hui and other cronies of the sheriff's mansion, Lu Jue found an excuse to trick Qiu An into the sheriff's mansion, cut off Qiu An's head with one knife, and then ordered his cronies and generals He led the army to open the city gate, and at the same time issued an order to ask the Nanyang Qin army to put down their weapons and surrender to the young marshal, and Li Shiqi successfully took away the credit that should have belonged to Mr. Shusun.

The overly anxious surrender caused a turmoil within the Qin army. Some soldiers of the Qin army who were unwilling to surrender spontaneously organized and suddenly launched an attack on the Nanyang County Sheriff's Mansion, and successfully rushed into the Sheriff's Mansion. It turns out that Lu Yu, Chen Hui and others had no choice but to jump over the wall and escape for their lives.But fortunately, the young commander-in-chief army quickly sent troops to come to reinforce, and Lu Yu's cronies also firmly grasped the control of the city gate, helping the young commander-in-chief army enter the town smoothly to suppress the turmoil. After making the right choice, he resolutely turned to help the young generals suppress the soldiers of the Qin army who refused to surrender. Song Yang, Qiu An's direct subordinate, rescued Lu Yu who was hunted down by the hardliners of the Qin army in the chaos, and helped Lu Lu persist. When the young marshal entered the city for reinforcements.

When it was getting dark, the young commander basically controlled the four gates of Wancheng and all the streets in the city, and killed all the soldiers of the Qin army who refused to surrender. When the army was reorganized, Lu Wei took his saviors Song Yang and Chen Hui and other confidants to pay a visit to Xiang Kang in the camp. Xiang Kang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and insisted on leading the young commander in person, civil and military, to the gate of the camp regardless of his own injuries. Greet Lu Yu and others.

It was only after he was invited to sit in the big tent of the Chinese army that Lu Jue realized that Xiang Kang had greeted and entertained him with injuries. Moved, Lu Jue hurriedly left the table and bowed to Xiang Kang, swearing that he would be loyal to the Kingdom of Chu in the future , Xiang Kang also endured the pain and stepped forward to personally lift up Lu Jue, canonize Lu Jun as Xuehou in public, reward three thousand, and a bucket of pearls, in recognition of the first Lu Yu who surrendered to the Young Marshal Army as a county guard Chen Hui, Lu's confidant who tried his best to persuade Lu to surrender and offer a plan to kill Qiu An, was also rewarded by Xiang Kang with [-] gold and [-] households in Shiyi, which was used to encourage other Qin army confidants to follow his example.

Lu Wei is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Xiang Kang had just rewarded Chen Hui, and Lu Yu immediately introduced Qiu An's subordinate Wei Cheng Song Yang of Nanyang County to Xiang Kang, and said: "General You, if today If Song Weicheng hadn't rescued you in time, and secretly hid the criminal officer in his personal army without telling everyone, the criminal officer would definitely not see you. The criminal officer has a shameless face. I implore the right general to give Song Weicheng a reward or two, so that the subordinate officials can repay you Song Weicheng's life-saving grace."

"You should be rewarded. Song Weicheng rescued Lu Junzun, helped Lu Junzun abandon the dark side and turned to the light, and surrendered the city. Of course, he must be rewarded!" Xiang Kang agreed, and then said casually: "Song Weicheng, I also reward you with a thousand gold and five hundred households in Shiyi. , are you satisfied?"

"The guilty general dare not accept the reward." Song Yang knelt down in a hurry, and said hypocritically: "Last time on the Dajianshan trail, the sinful general dared to send envoys to the north to pretend to surrender, in an attempt to lure the right general into a dead end. , committed an unforgivable crime, the right general can not be held accountable, the guilty general is already grateful, how dare you covet the reward from the right general?"

"That's all in the past. At that time, everyone was their master. You feigned surrender to lure the enemy, and you were also loyal to your duty. How can I blame you, General?" Xiang Kang waved his hand generously, and said: "Song Weicheng doesn't have to refuse, you That’s how the rewards are set.”

To Xiang Kang's surprise, Song Yang once again refused, saying: "General Right, I really don't dare to covet your reward. If General You must reward me, then I only have a small request, General Right." If you can graciously agree, sin will be grateful."

"Song Weicheng has any request, just ask." Xiang Kang replied very boldly.

"The guilty general is bold, and I want to ask the right general not to pursue Yan Que, the assistant official of the county lieutenant's mansion who went to Ji county to surrender to you last time. If possible, please ask the right general to promote him a little bit." Song Yang said sincerely. Said: "Yan Que is a friend of the villain, but his official luck is not good. He has always been a petty official. Last time he sacrificed his life to cover up the crime and surrendered to the north. You have given him a huge favor, so the guilty general is willing to use his reward in exchange for the right general, you will not pursue him and give him a chance to be promoted."

Song Yang's affectionate and righteous words moved many people present, and they had a good impression of him, but Xiang Kang and Chen Ping's treacherous people were clear-eyed, knowing that this Song Yang was just retreating to advance, and wanted to let him go. Xiang Kang and the important civil and military officers of the Young Marshal left a deep impression on him, and put a long line to catch big fish in order to covet more wealth in the future.But Xiang Kang didn't bother to expose Song Yang's little plan, he just laughed and agreed to pardon Song Yang's friend Yan Que, and made Yan Que a county captain in Wancheng, and at the same time insisted on continuing to reward Song Yang.

Before the matter was over, when Song Yang, who had fulfilled his wish, desperately thanked Xiang Kangdun, Xiang Kang's heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "This man is very decisive. If the situation is not good, he will decisively sell the owner for glory, and he is good at forbearance. He is quite clever and has a lot of use value. If I just recruit him into my army, it would be a bit wasteful. If I use him to set a longer line, maybe I can catch bigger fish."

With a plan in mind, he needed to set the example of the Qin Army in Wancheng to win people's hearts. Of course, at the next banquet, Xiang Kang would say all kinds of good things to Lu Yu, Chen Hui, Song Yang and others, and tried his best to win them over. It was decided on the spot to let Lu Yu continue to serve as the governor of Nanyang. In exchange for Lu Yu's gratitude, he also offered to persuade Xiang Kang to persuade other cities in Nanyang to surrender voluntarily.

…………

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch. When Xiang Kang held a banquet in honor of Lu Yu and others at the Marshal's camp, he had already set his sights on Qi Ji, who was the governor of Nanyang County, and came to his daughter Qi Min's bedroom again. , first drove away the maid in the tent, and then told Qi Min that Xiang Kang beat himself with a military stick today in order to maintain military discipline. Of course, Qi Min was also very surprised and said: "Ah, that is Xiang Kang’s Chu State Right General is really so strict, just because he might affect the reputation of the Chu army, he beat his own army stick?”

"General You sets an example and does not give his subordinates the opportunity to find excuses for violating military discipline." Qi Ji explained, then sighed and said, "Ah Weng went to visit him today, and he was seriously injured, lying on the couch without even moving. If you dare to move, even if you stand up and preside over the acceptance of the surrender of the Tyrant Qin army, you will have to be supported by someone."

Qi Min didn't say a word, he was very puzzled why his father told the stupid fat man Xiang Kang's current situation, but Qi Ji peeked at his daughter's expression, and asked suddenly: "Min'er, what is your impression of Xiang Kang, the right general of Chu State?" how?"

"My daughter hasn't seen him. He sent his subordinates to bring her into his camp that day, and he hasn't shown up since then, so my daughter hasn't seen him."

Qi Min's truthful answer made Qi Ji dumbfounded, and also made Qi Ji suddenly understand something, thinking that it was so, no wonder Xiang Kang was so mean to me, it turned out that he had never seen the old man's beautiful daughter!After waking up, Qi Ji thought about it, gritted his teeth suddenly, and said, "Min'er, Ah Weng has something else I want to ask you. Tomorrow, you can go and visit Xiang Kang, the right general of Chu State. If he is still unable to move, You just stay there and take care of him for a few days."

"What?" Qi Min almost thought he heard it wrong, and asked in surprise, "Ah Weng, you want me to visit Xiang Kang, the right general of Chu State, and stay there to take care of him for a few days?"

"That's right." Qi Ji nodded cheekily, and said: "There is another very important thing. The Tyrant Qin army in Wancheng has surrendered voluntarily today. General You is going to appoint a new governor of Nanyang County. You take care of him." For his opportunity, help A Weng tell him, let him appoint A Weng and me as the governor of Nanyang County."

Qi Min was not stupid. After hearing his father's words, he suddenly realized what he said. He widened his eyes and said, "Ah Weng, you want your daughter to use a beauty trick to sacrifice her innocence and replace you with the position of Nanyang County Sheriff?"

"Min'er, don't speak so harshly, why sacrifice your innocence?" Qi Ji said cheekily, "You are not young anymore, it's time to find a good family. What a talent, even though he already has a wife, is that a dignitary in the world who has three wives and four concubines? If you can achieve good things with him, Ah Weng will not have to worry about you for the rest of your life."

"I don't want it!" Qi Minqiao blushed and said angrily: "I don't covet any glory and wealth, and I don't want to humbly use myself to please the right general of Chu State!"

It is useless to object, Qi Ji is very clear that Xiang Kang will not let him be the governor of Nanyang County, and the young commander will never have anyone to speak for him. Putting on the airs of a father, asking Qi Min to follow the custom of this era when the marriage of children is decided by the father, forcing Qi Min to seduce Xiang Kang, and even Qi Min refused to change his words no matter how much Qi Min begged and cried, and finally was annoyed by his daughter crying , Qi Ji slapped the table and shouted a few times: "That's it! Whether you like it or not, you have to visit General You tomorrow and stay there to take care of him! Ah Weng is for your own good, and you will be sensible in the future , will only thank me, not hate me!"

After yelling, Qi Ji flicked his sleeves and got up and left, leaving Qi Min to cry bitterly all night in the tent, but it was useless to cry bitterly, and in the morning of the next day, Qi Ji personally came to force Qi Min to freshen up , went to the camp to visit Xiang Kang who was injured, Qi Min's begging was useless, but in the end Qi Ji forced him to wash and change his clothes, and tearfully went to perform beauty tricks for his father.Qi Ji refused to rest assured, and took his daughter to the camp himself, not giving her a chance to escape halfway.

The moment he was dragged by Qi Ji to the front of the young commander's camp, Qi Min couldn't help bursting into tears again, and couldn't help but think of that handsome and elegant young man, feeling sad, "If he knows that I'm going to What you do, you will definitely look down on me forever, right?"

Perhaps God opened his eyes, and Qi Ji stepped forward to explain the purpose of coming to the young commander guarding the camp gate, claiming that he brought his daughter to visit Xiang Kang. After a while, the young commander who went to pass the news came back and said: "Qi Duwei, our right general said that he appreciates your kindness, but he is very busy now and has no time to see you. Please go back and rest first. When our soldiers finish counting the money and food in Wancheng, we will naturally give you what you deserve. send it over."

"I would like to ask the sergeant to report again and say that I am not here for money and food this time." Qi Ji refused to give up, and pointed to his daughter next to him, and said, "It's my daughter. She heard that General You came here for I punished myself with a military stick for her incident. I was so sad that I cried all night last night. I must see the current situation of General You with my own eyes. So I don’t need to go in. I just ask General You to let my daughter meet him. .”

Seeing that the charming Qi Min was indeed crying pitifully, the young marshal in charge of the transmission softened his heart and nodded, and went in to pass the transmission on behalf of Qi Ji and his daughter. What made Qi Min even more sad was that the stupid fat man Xiang Kang was really deceived by his father's lies, so he changed his words and agreed to let Qi Ji's father and daughter go in to meet each other. Qi Ji was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly dragged his daughter into the camp again. Outside Xiang Kang's sleeping tent.

After waiting outside the dormitory for a while, Xiang Kang, who was busy with business, ordered Qi Ji and his daughter to come in for a meeting. Qi Ji was afraid of getting in the way of his daughter, so he hurriedly claimed that he didn't want to disturb Xiang Kang, so he only let his daughter in and treated Qi Min The one who killed the chicken and wiped his neck even winked, and Qi Min was forced to do nothing, so he had no choice but to approach Xiang Kang's stupid fat man's tent with tears in his eyes under the guidance of Xiang Kang's personal soldiers-it's okay, this scene didn't change. Not being seen by the young man Qi Min admired, Qi Min felt a little relieved.

It was noon, and the light in Xiang Kang's sleeping tent was quite bright, but Qi Min didn't dare to raise his head at all. He kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, and walked up to Xiang Kang, who was lying on his stomach reading official documents, and stepped down. Paying salutes, he said in a hoarse voice: "Little girl Qi Min, I have met the right general of Chu State."

"You're welcome, girl, please get up and sit down."

The familiar voice suddenly reached Qi Min's ears, and Qi Min's heart skipped a beat. He looked up subconsciously, and saw the handsome young man he had often thought of these days, lying on the couch in the tent, looking at the official documents, Then Qi Min suddenly exclaimed, "You? You are Xiang Kang, the right general of Chu State?!"

"I am Xiang Kang." Xiang Kang was confused, turned his head and asked, "We have met several times, girl, don't you know my identity?"

Complicated expressions appeared on Qi Min's pretty face. At that moment, Qi Min wanted to laugh and cry aloud at the same time. His heart was full of emotions, and while his lips were trembling, two lines of tears came out of his eyes again, and he said in his heart: "You villain! , you deceived me so badly!"

…………

At this time, outside Xiang Kang's sleeping tent, Qi Ji was of course scratching his heart, restless, afraid that his daughter would not be obedient, would not seduce Xiang Kang with her beauty, and spoil his own good deed, so anxious that he wanted to rush into Xiang Kang. Kang's sleeping account to check the situation.Then after a while, when Qi Ji became more and more impatient, Zhou Zeng, a young commander in chief who Qi Ji knew, suddenly brought an old man in his fifties over. Qi Ji stepped forward to salute helplessly. While returning the salute, Zeng asked casually: "What is Captain Qi doing here? If you are in a hurry, do you want me to go in and report for you?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Qi Ji shook his head hastily, and said: "I came to visit General You with my daughter, and my unfilial daughter heard that General You beat his own military stick for her and was injured. It was difficult to move, and I insisted on coming to visit General You in person, but I couldn’t resist her, so I had to bring her here, and she has already gone in, and she should still be talking to General You.”

"So that's how it is." Zhou Zeng smiled, turned to the old man next to him and said, "Lu Junzun, the right general is seeing guests, let's go in later."

When Lu Yu nodded with a smile, Qi Ji already sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Zhou Zeng: "Zhou Jijiu, is this old gentleman the Nanyang County Governor Lu Junzun who tyrannized the Qin Dynasty?"

"Exactly." Zhou Zeng nodded, and said casually: "However, Junzun Lu is no longer the governor of Nanyang County who overthrew the Qin Dynasty, but the governor of Nanyang County of our Chu State. After he led the people to surrender last night, our right general has already put him in charge." He has been made the governor of Nanyang County of our state of Chu."

"General You directly let Lu Junzun continue to be the governor of Nanyang County in Chu State?" Qi Ji almost doubted his ears, and blurted out: "He is an official of Tyranny Qin? How can he continue to be Nanyang Junzun?"

hear this.Lu Yu's expression was of course extremely awkward, but Zhou Zeng laughed and said: "Qi Duwei, it seems that you don't understand our right general too much. Our right general has always employed people without suspicion. Under his command, not only Lu Junzun was once an official of Tyranny, I was also the magistrate of Tyranny, and General Chao Zhichao, who assisted our General Right in commanding the Chinese army, was also a county lieutenant of Tyranny. Wei Du can still be reused by the Right General, let alone the honor of a county like Lu Junshou?"

I really don't know Zhou Zeng's previous identity, Qi Ji inevitably opened his mouth wide open, and coincidentally, at this moment, Qi Min suddenly walked out of Xiang Kang's bedroom tent, Zhou Zeng hastily said politely to Qi Ji, Then he led Lu Yu in to report military affairs to Xiang Kang.After Qi Ji managed to recover, of course he immediately pulled up his daughter and said, "Min'er, let's go, let's go back."

Qi Min shook off his father's tugging, his pretty face was still full of anger, and said, "Weng, where are you taking me? Didn't you want me to stay and take care of General You for a few days? Why did you change your mind again and want to pull me?" I'll go back right away?"

"Don't waste time." Qi Ji said in a low voice: "Nanyang County Sheriff is already there, A Weng, I have no hope, and you don't need to waste any more time."

"But General You has already agreed to let me stay and take care of him for a few days." Qi Min's voice was full of complaints, and he said, "It took so much for him to get General You to agree, and now he regrets leaving, how can I tell General You Confession?"

"I have already agreed." Qi Ji was dumbfounded again.

"Well, I have already agreed." Qi Min nodded, and said: "Aweng, you go back first, Qing'er and Si'er stay and help me, and I will go back when the right general's injury is better. Also, I You sent someone to deliver the things for grooming and my change of clothes earlier."

After finishing speaking, Qi Min also pulled up the two maids she had brought, and asked Xiang Kang's soldiers outside the tent to lead the way, and went to live in the military tent arranged for her by Xiang Kang's people, ready to take care of the injured Xiang Kang at any time , leaving Qi Ji stunned on the spot, not knowing how the matter would end.

By the way, two days later, a rather sensational event happened in Wancheng, that is, Song Yang, Wei Cheng of Nanyang County, who had already surrendered to the Marshal Army with Lu Wei, suddenly brought his friend Yan Que and a dozen The soldiers fled at night, and left a letter mocking Xiang Kang, saying that he surrendered only to keep his useful body, and threatened that he would avenge his immediate superior Qiu An on the battlefield in the future.Seeing the letter, Xiang Kang was furious, and immediately issued a document of arrest at sea, vowing to capture Song Yang who dared to play tricks on him alive, and execute him in a chariot!

By the way, when the Qin army in Wancheng opened the city and surrendered, Song Yang rescued Lu Yu in the chaos, and Xiang Kang once promised to make Song Yang's friend Yan Que the county captain of Wancheng, I don't know anything The reason has never been publicized, and the few people who knew the inside story remained silent and never mentioned these things again.
