time flies.
But the next day.
Liang Shidu's letter has been sent back.
Sure enough, it was not what Wang Ke expected.
This future tycoon has indeed seen the current situation clearly.
He maintained a very low profile in the letter. Not only did he admit his previous serious crime of treason, but he was also willing to serve as a vanguard to make up for his mistakes and help Wang Ke wipe out other rebels who had not surrendered.
at the same time.
In view of the fact that Wang Ke came all the way from Jizhou to help in the battle.
Liang Shidu also agreed to be fully responsible for all the food, fodder, baggage, and military pay arrangements for the imperial army here.
"This Master Liang is indeed a person. He must be cooperating with the court so actively now because he must want to wash away his sins... Then, I might as well go with the flow and let him make some contributions and form a good relationship with him."
Take Liang Shidu’s letter.
Wang Ke smiled slightly and thought to himself.
This is the thought.
He immediately called Wang Tianyou and asked him to bring Liang Shitai and Liang Shifang to the Chinese army's tent.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianyou immediately handed over his hands and accepted the order and left.
Not long after.
Liang Shifang came to the Chinese army's tent alone.
"Where is Liang Shitai?"
I saw that only Liang Shifang was here.
Wang Ke had some doubts in his heart, so he asked.
"Um...my brother rode away last night. I guess he was looking for his eldest brother."
Liang Shifang's face froze and he answered with some hesitation.
"Have you already gone looking for Master Liang?"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Immediately, he stopped worrying about the matter and continued: "Today your brother sent a reply, saying that he wants to be a pioneer and go to wipe out the bandits in Hebei. I want to follow suit. I wonder if you are willing to go?"
"The general is willing to go!"
Liang Shifang clasped his hands into fists and said hurriedly.
"Okay! Then prepare yourself and lead a thousand troops to Yizhou. If this happens, your family's lives will be safe... If you want to interfere with it, I don't need to say that you will have to bear the consequences. You know it too."
Wang Ke waved his hand, stared at Liang Shifang closely, and said slowly.
"General, don't worry, the general and others will think about themselves!"
When Liang Shifang heard this, he immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said in his mouth.
"Forget it! Go ahead."
Wang Ke waved his hand and said to Liang Shifang.
after.
Liang Shifang went back to gather his troops and prepare to go to Yizhou to help Liang Shidu.
On Wang Ke's side, he sent Liu Wuzhou to escort Han Wang Yang Liang and others to Han Qinhu's camp in the south, preparing to send them to Daxing City.
…
Yizhou.
Liang Shidu was in the camp.
"Hahahaha! General Song, you and I wouldn't know each other without fighting. It's so late to meet you today!"
Inside the Chinese military tent.
There was a lot of laughter.
Pork, sheep and beef are delivered to their respective tables like running water.
Master Liang picked up his wine glass, looked at Song Jingang, who was here as a guest, and said with a smile.
"General Liang, you're welcome. We are colleagues now, so don't say such polite words anymore..."
Song Jingang was so enthusiastic when he saw Master Liang.
There was a trace of impatience on his resolute face, he just picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly, and said immediately.
"Uh... OK, OK! Hahahaha!"
See Song Jingang like this.
Master Liang could only laugh dryly, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"By the way, General Song, what do you think about the march into Hebei?"
Downed a few glasses of wine.
The embarrassment just now was gone.
Master Liang was holding a wine glass and asked Song Jingang again.
"This matter needs to be arranged by my lord... If there are no major changes, we should send troops to the Black Mountain and Daxing Mountain areas to coordinate with the patron king."
Talking about the current battle situation.
Song Jingang finally had a chat with Master Liang.
He held the wine glass and thought for a moment, then looked at Liang Shidu and answered.
"I see... Can General Song participate in this battle?"
Master Liang then asked.
"I came to Bingzhou to fight, and my horses suffered heavy losses. I will not go to Hebei."
Song Jingang waved his hands and said.
"General Song, since you and I are colleagues, I will leave the matter of replenishing the war horses to you! I have a lot of wealth in Bingzhou, and I am willing to support the general with 1,500 war horses!"
Master Liang looked at Song Jingang and said with a smile.
"Is this true?"
Song Jingang was slightly startled, and then asked Master Liang for advice.
"Natural is absolutely true!"
Master Liang patted his chest and said to Song Jingang.
"Well, thank you General Liang!"
Hear this.
Song Jingang finally stood up, bowed deeply to Master Liang, and spoke in a sincere tone.
That night.
The two parted happily.
Three more days passed.
Master Liang received the letter from Wang Ke.
The letter stated that Han Qinhu had accepted Liang Shidu's surrender, but the prerequisite was that Liang Shidu must lead his troops eastward to Montenegro to assist Zhuojun's many officers and soldiers and strangle Zhou Luohu's troops.
When Master Liang saw this letter, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered his troops and horses to join his third brother Liang Shifang's army, and marched toward Heishan and Daxing Mountains in a mighty manner.
…
Daxing Mountain.
Inside Zhou Luohu’s camp.
Recently.
A sad and bleak atmosphere has enveloped the hearts of many soldiers.
There is no other reason for this atmosphere - it is precisely because the news of the defeat of Han King Yang Liang has reached here.
actually.
Even without Yang Liang's defeat.
The situation on Zhou Luohu's side is not too optimistic.
Some days ago.
Wang Junke, Su Dingfang and others secretly captured the southern camp and surrounded Zhou Luohu's central army.
Without any choice.
Zhou Luohu had no choice but to send people to recall Jiang Peng who was guarding the East Village and Jiang Yu who was guarding the West Village, and asked them to join forces and defend the central army.
but.
This kind of stubborn defense is not a long-term solution.
What's more, people in the military have changed their minds now.
Zhou Luohu didn't dare to gamble, he had to make some changes.
"The general has met the general!"
This day.
The four generals Jiang Ze, Jiang Yu, Jiang Peng, and Jiang Xing came to the Chinese army tent together and saluted Zhou Luohu.
"No gift!"
Zhou Luohu waved his hand.
He continued: "Today, I call you here for the purpose of breaking out of the encirclement."
After hearing Zhou Luohu say this.
The faces of several fierce generals of the Jiang family were solemn.
They are all powerful generals promoted by Zhou Luohu from Qianmo, and they all obey Zhou Luohu's words.
at this time.
The eldest brother Jiang Xing cupped his hands and said: "General, if you have something to do, just give me your orders! Among us brothers, only the general will follow your lead!"
Zhou Luohu nodded and said: "Now that the King of Han has been defeated, we are almost alone. The most important thing now is to break out south and join up with Ji Hao's troops. Only then can we have a plan to advance or retreat!"
Speaking of which.
Zhou Luohu looked at his subordinates and asked, "How many capable soldiers do you have under your command?"
"There are still 800 people under the general's command." Jiang Xing replied.
"The last general has a thousand people under his command!" Jiang Ze said.
"The last general has seven hundred people under his command!" Jiang Yu said with his hands in hand.
"There are still 800 people available under the general's command!" Jiang Peng thought for a moment and then said to Zhou Luohu.
After listening to the words of the four people, Zhou Luohu sighed and said: "In this case, we still have more than 3,000 people to fight... Today, after you go back, make your own preparations. Tomorrow, you will assemble in the central army and head south. Breakout!"
"General, if we leave, what will happen to the food and supplies?"
Jiang Xing frowned and asked.
"Throw it on the ground, lure the enemy to snatch it, and buy time for our army to break out!"
Zhou Luohu held the long knife in his hand and said coldly.
