Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Outside Gaochao City

In fact, Gaochai's surrender was simply a trap. Seeing that Jingzhou could not be taken down within a day or two, Xue Renguo turned around and ran towards Gaochai.In Gaoqi, Xue Renguo began to give full play to his residual heat and made a false surrender.He asked the envoy of Gaoqi to go to Jingzhou to deliver a letter of surrender, which won the trust of Li Shuliang and deceived Liu Gan. Two unbelievable people just met together. Liu Gan came to the gate of Gaochao happily and cheerfully, but found that the gate was closed tightly.So strange, he raised his head and shouted: "I am the envoy who came to accept surrender, please open the door quickly!" Within five seconds, no one raised his head, and no one responded.Call again, still no movement.Liu Gan was a little annoyed, and issued a destructive order: burn the door with wood.

So, a small group of soldiers he brought began to hold logs and pile hay, which soon became a stack, and after being ignited, the flames burst into flames.However, just as the flames started to rise, a basin of cold water was suddenly poured down from the city wall, which startled Liu Gan.The fire was extinguished so easily, and there seemed to be only one reason for this situation: Gao Qian's false surrender. He was sure that they were played by Xue Renguo! So he turned around quickly and ordered the infantry to evacuate urgently.But if you think about it, since Gao Qian is a false surrender, he must have been prepared long ago.When Liu Gan slapped his head and shouted that he had been fooled, three thick smoke rose from the city wall. A few seconds later, Xue Renguo led the army to block it from the south.The number of officers and soldiers Najiang could never be compared with Xue Renguo's Western Qin army. After some fighting, Liu Gan was captured.

Xue Renguo came, holding a knife. He said to Liu Gan, boy, my grandfather will return to Jingzhou to besiege the city later, and you will be responsible for persuading him to surrender.Liu Gan sneered and said: "Is there any discount?" Xue Renguo said: "After the matter is completed, one thing will be recorded, and you will be appointed an official and a noble. Liu Gan smiled and said, "Well, okay, I am willing." I have to say that people like Xue Renguo, who can lie to you the first time, can lie to you the second time.People who can agree to Xue Renguo's conditions either have IQ problems or EQ problems, and maybe there is no third answer.When Xue Renguo pointed at Liu Gan with a knife, he might still be thinking about how to make barbecued meat for everyone after Jingzhou City surrendered.

However, everything changed because of Liu Gan's decision. Jingzhou City, Liu Gan. On the city wall, the soldiers saw their general being tied up by Xue Renguo, and pushed him to come under his nose.There was a commotion in the city, but it seemed that Liu Gan was not hurt, and he cooperated with Xue Renguo's work very well.He came to the city obediently, and Xue Renguo yelled, "Brother, just say what you have to say!" Liu Gan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll say it, I'll say it right away." "The traitor Xue Renguo died in the morning and evening, and King Qin led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround him. Don't worry, everyone, work hard, work hard!"

Xue Renguo was stunned, he couldn't figure it out, how could such a cheap person like Liu Gan dare to oppose him?Just now Liu Gan was negotiating conditions with him with a smile on his face, but now, a spirit of generosity to die has occupied Liu Gan's soul.Xue Renguo reacted quickly, he turned from gloating to hysteria.No, I want to kill this man who doesn't understand the rules, I want him to die ugly under the eyes of his subordinates! Xue Renguo has never been short of creativity. He had someone dig a half-meter hole in the ground and buried Liu Gan's leg in it.Then, he rode on his war horse, took a big bow, and shot dozens of arrows as he galloped back and forth.Liu Gan was hit by several arrows, but he still kept on cursing, his voice was sharp, and he was not afraid.Xue Renguo became more and more manic, and shot again. At this time, Liu Gan was covered with arrows and bleeding profusely.

Swearing and scolding will not stop until death. Li Shuliang is absolutely not allowed to go out of the city to rescue Liu Gan, if so, it will just be cheaper for Xue Renguo.Under the stalemate between the two sides, things returned to the original point.Xue Renguo got nothing but killing Liu Gan.Furious, Xue Renguo didn't want to wait any longer, and he came up with two dirty tricks one after another. Xue Renguo is not a person who can sit still. After retreating from Jingzhou, he began to think of new tricks.One day, Chang Da, governor of Longzhou, and Xue Renguo suddenly met in Yiluchuan. Xue Renguo was caught off guard, and was killed by Chang Da in embarrassment, losing more than a thousand people.

For ordinary people, it is a very shameful thing to be killed in an encounter.But when it comes to Xue Renguo, shame can also be used to be good.Soon after the defeat, Xue Renguo sent his cronies, Comrade Wu Shizheng, to surrender.In fact, Xue Renguo's selection of candidates was relatively accurate. For Wu Shizheng, Xue Renguo was the brightest role model in his life. Wu Shizheng led hundreds of Xue Renguo's cronies to surrender to Chang Da, and Chang Da Na surrendered. After some good hospitality, Wu Shizheng took action.He and those people hijacked Chang Da and forced Chang Da to lead 2,000 people from Longzhou City to Xue Renguo.Yes, it was this Chang Da who once made Xue Renguo look for his teeth all over the place!Wu Shizheng laughed secretly, he wanted to see how this proud Chang Da was tortured to death by Xue Renguo.More importantly, Chang Da naively thought that he, Shizheng, really wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

I don't even think about whether I have a future with an emperor, or a little-known governor. Like Liu Gan, Chang Da cursed Xue Renguo after being tied up and seeing Xue Renguo.Facing Chang Da, Xue Renguo actually smiled.He patted Chang Da on the shoulder earnestly and said, "A righteous man like Mr. is just what I need! The current situation just fulfills my wisdom, and I want to untie the righteous man!" Immediately afterwards, Xue Renguo said something that made people's skin crawl, but no matter how much he tried to persuade him to surrender, Chang Da just refused to follow him.Just when Xue Renguo was about to change his attitude, a general jumped out, pointed at Chang Da and smiled ferociously, "Hi! Do you remember me?" Chang Da glanced at the general, Zhang Gui, he knew him.

"Remember, aren't you my defeated opponent?" Chang Da laughed out loud after finishing speaking.Zhang Gui and Wu Shizheng are Xue Renguo's capable officers, and their personalities are completely integrated with him.Zhang Gui was furious, remembering the scene of running around on the battlefield clutching his crotch, he became even more angry, drew a big knife, and wanted to cut off Chang Da's head. At this time, Chang Da's charisma emerged. The soldiers (except Wu Shizheng) who had surrendered desperately grabbed Zhang Gui and knelt down in front of Xue Renguo to intercede for Chang Da.Zhang Gui saw that it was difficult to offend the public, so he resented it.Chang Da refused to surrender no matter what, but Xue Renguo did not intend to kill him.Because according to his plan, if he could hypocritically tolerate the enemy who had defeated him, what would the people think of him?Definitely full of admiration.

Xue Renguo, who has ruined countless people, can't stand still here, because Li Shimin has already forced him up. This time, he wanted to challenge Li Shimin's limit.The person in charge of the direct operation was General Zong Luohu of the Western Qin Dynasty. He was not young, had a low education level, and was very good at fighting. Xue Renguo had a purpose in asking him to play against Li Shimin. Zong Luohu obeyed his orders and confronted Li Shimin's army on the periphery.But at the very beginning, he discovered a very strange phenomenon.If the Western Qin troops launched a sudden attack on King Qin's troops, King Qin would definitely strengthen his defense and would not fight back.However, if there were more blows, Qin Wang Li Shimin's reaction would be even more flat, and he retreated into the city after two support, and refused to come out again.After fighting for many days, Zong Luohou basically couldn't even see the shadow of Tang Bing.

It's no use worrying, he began to scold. He doesn't scold himself, he mobilizes the soldiers to scold.The subject of the scolding is the vast number of soldiers in the Western Qin Dynasty, and the object of the scolding is Qin Wang Li Shimin alone.The main content of the scolding is the taboo words of Li Shimin's eight generations of ancestors and all gods and beasts, and the time span is as long as dozens of days.Although Li Shimin is the leader of an army, he is only nineteen years old.No one can stand being scolded by a group of people like this.As a result, some people in the army started clamoring to go out to avenge the shame of King Qin. Li Shimin refused. What he had to wait for was to make them anxious. Under the siege of the Tang army, Xue Renguo would also run out of food.As expected, after two full months passed, the scolders fell silent, and the non-swearers came. Xue Renguo is indeed not a good bird. Under the siege for two months, the army ran out of food, and he failed to come up with any solution.If you follow Xue Renguo's method, you must catch the local people and put them in the pot, but what if you finish eating people?Shouldn't Li Shimin be trapped to death?Xue Renguo, who was merciless and ungrateful, received his first retribution. Generals such as Hu Lang of Xiqin Liang led part of the army, packed up and defected to Li Shimin. The Xiqin troops who had no food to eat would definitely react, which Li Shimin had expected a long time ago. Since the opponent is definitely going to send troops, it's better to kill them first and occupy a favorable position!When Li Shimin made this decision, everyone else was stunned.Because the place where Li Shimin arranged the decisive battle is called Qianshuiyuan.This place is a place where birds don't shit, not because there are no birds, but because the place is so dry that there is not a drop of water, and the birds will be constipated when they come here. The person in charge of the garrison in Qianshuiyuan was named Liang Shi. Soon, he understood why this place was called Qianshuiyuan.When the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army arrived here, everyone realized that they might have to wait until the arrival of the enemy without aquatic plants.Zong Luohu was keenly aware of the Tang army hiding in Qianshuiyuan, and without saying a word, he came up and killed him. Liang Shi waited for many days, the water and grass were cut off, and the men and horses were scarce, but he still repelled Zong Luohu many times with his tenacious will.However, this situation can never happen again, Liang Shi is very clear about his situation, if Zong Luohu comes again, only hell awaits him.The West Qin army saw the dawn of victory. Li Shimin also saw the dawn of victory. In fact, Qianshuiyuan, where Liang Shi is located, does have troops, but that is not the main force.What he led was only a small group of tempting troops. The one who really hid behind the scenes and watched coldly was the 200,000 troops led by Li Shimin himself.They have plenty of water and grass, recharge their energy and store up their energy, and wait for Zong Luohu to spend his life with Liang Shi. A few days later, Zong Luohou's soldiers were exhausted. At a certain moment, Li Shimin gave an order, mounted his horse himself, and led dozens of Xiaoguo generals to charge forward, fighting from the north to the enemy army facing the south.If you fall, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that if you face south, I will kick you from the north and you will have to suffer first.Tang Bing, who had been holding back for more than two months, seemed to have taken a stimulant, with a murderous look in their eyes. They followed Li Shimin's dozens of leading soldiers to attack Zong Luohu, and their voices were loud and unstoppable! The time for revenge has come, and within a few minutes, Tang Jun has completely controlled the situation. When Zong Luohu heard the sound and turned his head to observe, it was already too late.The battlefield is changing rapidly, not to mention that he is facing 200,000 super elites who have been holding back for more than two months.Zong Luohu, who had been rushing for seven days and seven nights, completely collapsed. He would never have expected that the troops on Qianshuiyuan were only a small part of the Tang army.Liang Shi won. He used one-tenth of the enemy's strength to drag down the enemy, buying precious time and energy for the Tang army to attack from behind. Within a few hours, the Western Qin army was dead, wounded, and the Yellow River burst its embankment and burrowed into all the places where they could hide their heads.Seeing that something was wrong, Zong Luohu led the disabled soldiers to flee to Xue Renguo's camp in embarrassment.But when he threw himself into Xue Renguo's arms, he found a jaw-dropping scene. Liang Hulang: Everyone understands now, but some idiots still don't pretend to understand! Zong Luohu: When I think that the motherland has not yet been unified, I will not be able to study.
