"Old Liao, if you cooperate with us well, our general will conquer the world in the future, and we will inevitably make you the prefect." Lu Liang patted Liao Wenguang on the shoulder.
Liao Wenguang leaned over and said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate the two generals first, and I will grant you the title of king in the future. I think it is still necessary for you to give me some advice."
"Old Liao! Let me tell you seriously, if you fool me as a fool, aren't you afraid that I will chop you with a knife?" Lu Liang stared at Liao Wenguang coldly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I am telling the truth, I am telling the truth." Liao Wenguang waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he did not mean that.
Lu Liang sneered and said: "I know you don't believe that our general can seize the Ming Dynasty. It doesn't matter. Let's wait and see. One day you will see it with your own eyes. Try it in advance and you must live."
Liao Wenguang trembled.
"Okay, don't scare him." Zhao Wugu stopped Lu Liang's actions against Liao Wenguang and said immediately, "Don't worry, Counselor Liao, as long as you cooperate well, when our army arrives, I can protect your life."
"Thank you so much, general." Liao Wenguang bowed to Zhao Wugu.
With the other party's guarantee, he felt a little relieved. He had saved his life, and it was not in vain that he had been cooperating with the other party to capture Yangqu City.
Zhao Wugu looked away from Liao Wenguang.
As long as they don't cause anger in the local area, or do something unfavorable to the Tiger Flag, even if ordinary officials are captured, the Tiger Flag will not easily send them to the guillotine.
With the officials of Yangqu City being so cooperative as Liao Wenguang, Zhao Wugu was confident that even if Wang Shizheng came, he would not kill Liao Wenguang.
If Liao Wenguang is willing to surrender and join the Tiger Flag, he might even be able to hold an official position.
"Old Liao, have you thought about your future?" Lu Liang asked.
Liao Wenguang said with a careful smile: "I just hope that for the sake of my honest cooperation, you can let me leave when your army takes over Yangqu."
As a high-ranking official like Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy and Counselor, he did not want to be too involved with the bandits of the Tiger Character Banner.
In his opinion, no matter how violent the Tiger Flag in front of him is, it will be wiped out by the Ming army sooner or later.
This has nothing to do with whether the soldiers and horses in Liu Thief's hands are powerful or not. The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources. Even if Liu Thief gains power for a while, sooner or later he will be able to use his own size to consume Liu Thief's soldiers and horses with a steady stream of troops and horses.
The slave thieves and thieves in Liaodong are equally powerful. They are also blocked outside Shanhaiguan and cannot move forward. Recently, their momentum has been lost, and their vitality has been hurt by two consecutive defeats.
The two great victories at Jinzhou Ningyuan were enough to prove the power of the Ming Dynasty in Liao Wenguang's eyes.
"You cooperated so much with us in taking Yangqu City, and many people saw it. Aren't you afraid of being punished by your court when you go back?" Lu Liang looked at Liao Wenguang with a half-smile.
Liao Wenguang's face turned bitter when he heard this.
This is also what he is most worried about. With what he is doing in Yangqu City now, it is not enough to call him a thief.
"Think about it for yourself!" Lu Liang said, and then ignored him.
On the second day, the vanguard camp of the Third War Division arrived at Yangqu City.
Yangqu City has been captured by Zhao Wugu and others. The war barracks that entered the city successfully took over the city defense and guarded the granary and government offices in the city.
In Taiyuan City.
As soon as Pan Xiguang arrived in Taiyuan City, he moved into the county office.
The master of the county office, Taiyuan County Magistrate, took care of him carefully and never relaxed for a moment. He even gave up his own backyard to let Pan Xiguang's concubine live in it.
"Futai, General Jie's soldiers are here. Do you want to meet them?" Taiyuan County Magistrate came to the back office of the county office to announce.
As the owner of the county office, Pan Xiguang is almost like a servant in the county office.
Pan Xiguang, who was holding a bowl in his hand, frowned and said, "Why is he here!"
In his mind, if the bandits arrived outside Yangqu City, there was a high probability that Mr. Jie Shigong would be trapped in Yangqu City, and it would be difficult to escape.
The magistrate bowed and did not answer.
Whether it was the commander-in-chief outside or the governor in front of him, he could not afford to offend either of them. Although he was the master of the county office, he could no longer have the final say in the county office.
"Bring him in!" Pan Xiguang did not embarrass any of his subordinates.
The magistrate bowed and backed away, then straightened up and retreated from the back office.
Not long after, when he returned again, he was accompanied by Mr. Jie Shigong and his lieutenants.
"The last general will see Fujun." As soon as Mr. Jie Shigong and the deputy general entered the back office, they clasped their fists and bowed in salute.
Pan Xiguangxu raised his right hand and said: "You two don't need to be so polite, please take your seats!"
Although it is troublesome to grind the lenses of monocular telescopes, and the output is not particularly high, after so many years of accumulation, the Ordnance Bureau of Tiger Character Banner has accumulated a lot of monocular telescopes, and a group of skilled craftsmen who make monocular telescopes.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing is of little use if only one person has it, the Ordnance Bureau could have a monocular telescope for every ten or so people.
"You lied to us?" Lu Liang moved his eyes away from the monocular and looked coldly at the Fubiao Battalion guerrillas in the team.
"No, no, I will never lie. The city gate of Yangqu is really only open for half a day. I can swear it." The guerrillas of Fubiao Camp waved their hands to defend themselves, and even did not hesitate to swear and curse.
At this time, I heard Zhao Wugu say: "He didn't lie to us. Something happened in Yangqu that we don't know about. Look carefully, everyone leaving Yangqu City is carrying big and small bags."
After hearing this, Lu Liang picked up the monocular telescope again and started observing.
"Really, it looks like they fled outside the city to seek refuge. It seems that Mr. Jie Shigong and others should have fled back to Yangqu yesterday and brought back the news of the fall of Tianmen Pass." Lu Liang said.
Zhao Wugu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a playful expression: "It seems there is no need to deceive the city. Lu Liang, arrange for someone to send a message to the army behind and tell them about the situation in Yangqu. The others will follow me and don't let Yangqu go." The high officials in Qu City have escaped."
With that said, he took the lead in urging his horse forward.
Their cavalry only came to Yangqu first, and behind them, there was the third combat division rushing to Yangqu from Tianmen Pass.
A tiger-shaped banner cavalryman in the team separated from the team and rode away along the way he came.
Zhao Wugu led dozens of riders to the outside of Yangqu City and stopped the convoy escaping from Yangqu City.
Those who fled Yangqu with a convoy at this time were either rich or noble.
"Let's go, why don't the team leave? Go and have a look. If there are any civilians, please send them away to me." In the city gate, an official sedan was blocked inside.
The officials in the sedan looked anxious when they saw the team stopped.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll go right away." The boy who was following the sedan hurriedly squeezed out of the city.
