In the middle of the night, Zheng Daqiang couldn't sleep in his temporary residence in Jiejia Mountain Dazhai. He sighed. He just wanted to go out to the toilet, but there was a group of minions following him, saying they wanted to protect him. Only then did Zheng Daqiang understand that this was not the case.

Don't worry about yourself, let the minions take a look at you. It turns out that you persuaded Zhang Yuanyuan to surrender to King Wei, which made him suspicious. He suspected that he was a lobbyist sent by King Wei or an undercover agent.

Zheng Daqiang sighed, thinking that Zhang Yuanyuan is really ungrateful. Although you have some soldiers and horses, the King of Wei has strong soldiers and horses, and brave generals like clouds. If it is really the King of Wei Tang Jiusheng who led people to attack your stronghold, how could you possibly be able to defend it?

?When I was annoyed, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside and asked: "Zheng Zhaizhu, have you gone to bed?"

When Zheng Daqiang heard that the voice was Qiao Chongliang, he quickly got up and opened the door, saying repeatedly: "I haven't slept yet!" The two exchanged greetings for a few words. Zheng Daqiang let Qiao Chongliang into the room, invited him to sit down, and quickly poured tea. Qiao Chongliang was originally a copycat.

Naturally, the second village leader was not polite to him either, so the two started chatting in the living room.

Qiao Chongliang smiled and said: "Zheng Zhaizhu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest this late at night! The conditions of our village are not good, so please be patient with Zheng Zhazhu! You have dealt with King Wei's troops, do you think Wei

How strong is the king?"

Zheng Daqiang sighed, "Brother Qiao, I am a general of the defeated army, a prisoner of the imperial court, and I will be beheaded. It is all thanks to the leader of Zhang Village who rescued me up the mountain. It's good if I can survive. This comfortable

Isn't it a thousand times better to sleep in a comfortable bed than to sleep in a prison car? When it comes to Prince Wei's Mansion, do you want me to tell the truth, or do you want me to tell lies?"

Qiao Chongliang laughed and said: "Brother Zheng, I came to visit you late at night. Naturally, I didn't want to hear your lies! Village leader Zhang and I have different ideas, and we won't hurt you. You don't have to worry. You just need to tell me Wei

I have my own idea about the actual situation of the king and his soldiers and horses. I have never dealt with King Wei, nor with the soldiers and horses of King Wei's palace, but the leader of our village had a meal in Yujiang a few days ago.

The loss of soldiers and horses in passing the royal palace."

Zheng Daqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Qiao, I was scared by King Wei. The first day, when we went down the mountain to fight his subordinate Hou Jingxian, Jian Rang was chased and killed by him. If there hadn't been a trap in the back mountain, Jian Rang would have been killed.

He had to kill me. He also had a fierce man named Yulong Xingkong under his command. He regarded my natural danger of Biji Mountain as if it were nothing. He bypassed the exposed posts and hidden sentries I set up and walked to Biji Mountain single-handedly.

Ji Zhai, Jian Rang just made a move and he was knocked down with one move, how dare I not surrender?"

Qiao Chongliang looked solemn and asked again: "Except for the fierce generals, how is the military discipline compared with the original troops and horses?"

Zheng Daqiang lamented: "After the soldiers and horses of King Wei went to Biji Mountain to capture Biji Village, they did not harm the people on the way down the mountain. The military discipline was strict and it remained so along the way. It can be called a benevolent and righteous army. I

I only regret that I listened to that damn bitch. First I proclaimed myself emperor without knowing how high the sky was. Then I refused to surrender. As a result, I became a prisoner. If I had descended earlier and surrendered, maybe it wouldn't be like this. Brother, believe me and surrender!

"

Qiao Chongliang pondered for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Zheng, are you going up the mountain to be a lobbyist for King Wei?"

Zheng Daqiang's face turned red and he said angrily: "Brother Qiao, is this how you look at me? I'm just a 'rebel' who was put into a prison car and sent to Yong'an for execution. I can't protect myself. If you don't save me today,

If you leave me, I will be beheaded sooner or later! I just don’t want to see you go the same way as I did! Brother, think about it, Niu Mandi has organized nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 people came from the Southwest Road

, have you captured Jianzhou? Not only did you not capture Jianzhou, but the King of Guards also took care of it. How about you, a copycat village full of soldiers and horses?"

Qiao Chongliang shook his head and said: "We just occupy the mountains and become kings. When it comes to soldiers, horses and generals, naturally we are not as good as the land full of cattle."

Zheng Daqiang clapped his hands and said: "Isn't this right? You are not as strong as Niu Mandi and can defeat King Wei?"

Qiao Chongliang smiled and said: "But we are different from Niu Mandi! He is going to attack and we are defending, so how can it be the same? There are nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in my mountain now. If we go to attack Jianzhou, we will naturally not be able to defeat it.

But we only defend Mount Jiejia, and it won’t be a problem to defend it!”

Zheng Daqiang waved his hand and said: "With the strength of your Jiejia stronghold, can you still compete for the world? I understand clearly. After King Wei arrived in Jiannan, he rectified the official administration, rectified military discipline, and annihilated the stronghold. He wanted to use the sword to

Nan, do well, can he tolerate you guys continuing like this in Jiejia Mountain? Brother Qiao, I am a rough man and short-sighted, but you are a scholar and you should understand these truths!"

Qiao Chongliang laughed wildly and said: "Brother Zheng, do you still dare to say that you were not sent by King Wei to persuade you to surrender? You also said that you are a rough man and don't know many words, but did you say these words yourself? That's not the case.

Others taught you!”

Zheng Daqiang said calmly: "Brother, it turns out that I did not say these words, but it was not what King Wei asked someone to teach me. It was said to me by my former leader of the third village, Fan Chenglin. Fan Chenglin persuaded me to go down the mountain and surrender more than once.

King Wei, but I turned a deaf ear to him and ended up like this! I regret that if I had listened to him earlier, I wouldn’t have ended up where I am today!”

Qiao Chongliang suddenly realized that it was Fan Chenglin who said this. Qiao Chongliang had long wanted to surrender, but Zhang Yuanyuan was confused from time to time. Sometimes he wanted to surrender, and sometimes he felt that his strength was not bad. It felt very satisfying to dominate the mountain and be the boss, and he was capricious.

, I have no idea. Zhang Yuanyuan is the leader of the village and the head of the family, so Qiao Chongliang can only persuade him. If he doesn't listen, there is nothing Qiao Chongliang can do. So Qiao Chongliang is helpless.

When Dongwei's informant sent information that Zheng Daqiang had been captured alive by Tang Jiu and was escorted to Anshu, Qiao Chongliang was determined to take the opportunity to remonstrate, but Zhang Yuanyuan stared at him and insisted on leading his troops down the mountain.

Zheng Daqiang was robbed, and Qiao Chongliang was happy to see him suffer a loss. Who would have thought that Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei from Prince Wei's Mansion were both very weak. Together they could not defeat Zhang Yuanyuan, and even abandoned the car and fled. This made Qiao Chongliang greatly disappointed, thinking that this Wei

Is it true that the king has a false reputation, and are his powerful generals so incompetent?

Now when he heard Zheng Daqiang say that King Wei's soldiers and horses are strong, and there are as many fierce generals as clouds, he started to murmur again. Fan Chenglin was a scholar and had the same opinion as him. Qiao Chongliang knew that with Jie Jia Shan's strength, he might be able to defend himself, but it was the foundation to fight for the world.

No chance. Zhang Yuanyuan suffered a big loss when he led his troops to seize Yujiang County a few days ago. Regardless of whether Yujiang is a large county or not, he was unable to capture even a county seat, let alone others.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Chongliang stood up and left. Zheng Daqiang then fell asleep peacefully. Zheng Daqiang also thought clearly before going to bed. If Zhang Yuanyuan didn't let him go, he could take the opportunity to escape. He couldn't be the king of the mountain, but he didn't want to be a prisoner.

, let alone being slapped by others, ants are greedy for life, let alone a living person? If Zhang Yuanyuan is willing to listen to his advice and go down the mountain to surrender, then he has made a contribution and still has a glimmer of hope. If Zhang Yuanyuan persists in his obsession, then he will also

He had no choice but to escape for his life.

The next morning, Zheng Daqiang woke up and went out of his residence. He was stopped by his minions outside. Zheng Daqiang smiled and said he wanted to visit the village. The minions hesitated for a moment, and someone rushed to report Dazhai Zhang Yuanyuan. The leader of the minions led him

As Zheng Daqiang walked outside, Zheng Daqiang looked around and saw that Jiashan Dazhai was in good order, much better than his own Biji Village, and he was filled with praise.

Zhang Yuanyuan heard that Zheng Daqiang wanted to visit the cottage, and became suspicious again. He thought to himself, does Zheng Daqiang want to see the situation in my cottage and then send a letter to King Wei Tang Jiusheng? This person is indeed an undercover agent! Zhang Yuanyuan deliberately let his subordinates

The elite soldiers were placed on the martial arts field to practice, and they personally accompanied Zheng Daqiang to watch, and said proudly: "Master Zheng, what do you think of my soldiers and horses?"

Zheng Daqiang nodded and praised: "Zhang Zhaizhu, your troops and horses are very strong!" Zhang Yuanyuan just smiled, and Zheng Daqiang added: "But King Wei's troops and horses are obviously stronger!" This sentence almost choked Zhang Yuanyuan.

"Death," Zhang Yuanyuan was furious and cursed in his heart, "Can this heartless guy know how to speak? He really took great pains to help King Wei persuade me to surrender!"

Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei ran for more than ten miles with more than 500 troops and horses. No one was chasing them. The two men slowed down their horses. Ning Chenggang smiled and said: "Okay, as long as Zheng Daqiang can be released

If we can go to the stronghold without arousing suspicion, then our mission will be successfully completed, let’s go back to see King Wei!”

The two men led the troops and rushed back, and after walking another thirty miles, they met Tang Jiusheng and his men, who were catching up calmly. Tang Jiusheng saw the two men leading the way.

When the soldiers came back, the prison car was no longer there, and they knew that Zhang Yuanyuan had led people to hijack the prison car. Tang Jiusheng couldn't stop laughing. This time he just wanted to force Zheng Daqiang to be a lobbyist, but he couldn't tell him directly. It would depend on what Zheng Daqiang said when he went up the mountain. If he could succeed,

Zheng Daqiang is exempted from death penalty.

Tang Jiusheng called over a tall, thin and shrewd junior high school student and whispered something into his ear. The primary school master happily accepted the order and rode a fast horse straight to Jiejia Mountain.

At the foot of Jiejia Mountain, there are mountain patrol minions cruising nearby. Because they heard that King Wei’s soldiers and horses were going back to Anshu, and this was the only way to go, Zhang Yuanyuan sent people to patrol here, lest King Wei’s soldiers and horses

As soon as they passed by, they would attack the village. Huang Laosi, the little leader of the mountain patrol, who was looking at the hillside, saw a fast horse running like flying along the official road from a distance. When he got closer,

Looking again, it turned out that there was a military commander on the horse with a goose feather on his helmet. He looked like a low-level officer.

The king sent Huang Laosi to lead people to patrol the mountain to see when King Wei's troops would arrive. Huang Laosi had thirty-five people under his command, and the officer with the goose feather in his hair was alone. There was a reason not to take it.

Want to kill him? He might be carrying some important information! Huang Laosi quickly asked more than ten of his men to ambush on the road and set up snagging ropes. He led the people in front to intercept them.

The officer rode a fast horse and ran over crazily. He also knew that there was a mountain village nearby, so he was always on guard against bandits. As he ran, he suddenly found that something was wrong on the road, as if there was a stumbling rope. The officer's riding skills were quite superb.

As soon as he picked up the horse, he actually jumped over the tripping rope. A dozen minions lurking by the roadside watched helplessly as this guy flew past without tripping. They screamed that it was a pity and hurriedly rang the bell to notify the friendly forces in front.

When Huang Laosi heard the bell, he knew that the trip rope had failed. He immediately shouted and blocked the official road with more than a dozen cavalrymen. The officer jumped over the trip rope and was enjoying himself, but he didn't know that there were more than a dozen knights in front of him with murderous intent.

Waiting for him? When he saw it, a dozen cavalrymen had already rushed towards him with sabers raised. The officer was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that there were also a dozen cavalrymen behind him.

People blocked his retreat.

The officer was a smart man. A good man would not suffer any immediate disadvantages. He immediately took the horse and shouted loudly: "My lords and grandfathers, I am willing to surrender! I just want to leave me a way to survive!"

Huang Laosi was overjoyed and shouted: "I'll give you a way to survive. Get off your horse! Throw the sword on the ground!" The officer jumped off the horse obediently, threw the saber aside, and raised his hands above his head. Huang Laosi asked him to take it away.

After taking his saber, he was brought to the horse and asked: "What do you do? Why are you running so fast?"

The officer smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa Wang, the younger one is the halberd commander under King Wei. My surname is Yu. King Wei has sent me back to Anshu to deliver it to the palace!" Huang Laosi looked the officer up and down, jumped off his horse and gave the order.

The officer handed over the letter. The officer shook his head and said: "Grandpa Wang, I dare not give you the letter. If I lose this letter, King Wei will have to kill me! I have twenty taels of silver here, take it.

I’m just paying for the road trip, so I just want to let go of the small ones!”

Seeing that he was so cowardly, Huang Laosi laughed secretly in his heart and shouted: "Take out the silver and let me see!" The officer surnamed Yu didn't know it was a trick, so he took out a silver ingot from his arms, and it looked like it was about twenty taels.

. Huang Laosi grabbed the silver with his hands, put it into his arms, and laughed loudly: "If you have the money, go drink wine! Brothers, tie him up first!"

All the minions agreed, stepped forward and tied up the officer. One of the minions took out the letter from his arms. The officer surnamed Yu shouted: "Grandpa Wang, no! Since you took the money to buy the road,

Why don't you let me live? If King Wei knew that this letter was lost, he would have to kill me!"

Huang Laosi ignored him, threw the letter to a literate young man, and said loudly: "Read it!" The young man stuttered and read it again. The letter probably meant that there were eleven cars of gold in the army.

The silver jewels were to be brought back to Anshu, but now Tang Jiusheng did not have enough manpower. Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifeigang were robbed by bandits in Jiejia Mountain again, so Tang Jiusheng was panicked and sent people back to Anshu to mobilize troops to protect the gold and silver.

jewelry.

After hearing this, Huang Laosi's eyes widened. He turned around and said with a smile: "Brothers and brothers, we are so prosperous! Quick, quick, quick, take this man up the mountain to see the leader of the village! King Wei will send us gold and silver.
Chapter completed!
