Chapter 41 It would be nice to be a concubine (please read it!)

…

As soon as they entered the tent arranged by Zhang Shi for the Liang family, Mrs. Liang's biological mother Chen immediately said to Liang Zhen impatiently: "My lord, Yu'er was taken away by Li Cun, what should I do?!"

Liang Zhen's eyes widened: "You still have the nerve to ask me, if you hadn't read so many books to her on weekdays, making her confused, how could she have gotten into such a huge disaster today and almost killed my Liang family?"

There are more than twenty mouths, and it will also affect Pao Ze!"

Mrs. Chen didn't say: "You didn't say that as an official in the past. I once said that I would train Yu'er to be well-educated and proficient in calligraphy, so that I would be able to choose a good son-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Chen only said: "My lord, Yu'er made a mistake first, but as parents, how can we not save her?"

Liang Zhen said angrily: "Save! I want to save too! But there are tens of thousands of tiger and benign troops here, how do you want me to save them?"

As soon as Liang Zhen said this, Chen immediately fell silent.

——With just a few men like them, trying to save Mrs. Liang when surrounded by tens of thousands of tiger and benign troops would be like going to heaven.

At this time, Liang Jin opened his mouth and said, "Do you know why I wanted to vote for Li Cun but not anyone else?"

Liang Xingnian, the younger brother of Mrs. Liang, said quickly: "Didn't I surrender to the Tiger Army after I was captured by the Tiger Army?"

Liang Jin was immediately speechless by Liang Xing.

Fortunately, Liang Zhen stepped forward in time to relieve Liang Jin and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we are all horse soldiers, and the Huben army are all infantry. If we don't save your mother and the others, how can the Huben army stop us?"

The way to go?”

With Liang Zhen's words, Liang Jin can continue what he said before:

"Although the Qingxi defeat was not our fault, I expected that the superior officer would ask us to take his place. When we die, Zhen'er and I are afraid that we will be beheaded for delaying the opportunity to fight.

In accordance with the law of military affairs, you and I will all be burdened by Zhen'er and me. The men will be escorted thousands of miles away, and the women will go to the prostitute camp."

After hearing Liang Jin's judgment, Liang Xing and others, who had previously been a bit shameless about Liang Zhen and Li Cun like Mrs. Liang, immediately became more rational.

"Although we were kind to Zeng Xianggong for saving his life, and Zeng Xianggong also said that we would repay him, but Zeng Xianggong was a ruthless and ungrateful person, and we did not protect him to go to Jingkou, and because of this, he could not protect himself in the battle.

Whether he can save us or not is hard to say."

This time, Liang Xing and others were more rational.

Liang Jin rubbed his old face, and then continued to say sincerely: "I am approaching my twilight years, and I have nothing to fear. The only people I worry about are my descendants."

Liang Xing and others had already lowered their heads in shame.

Seeing this, Liang Jin changed the subject and said: "I heard the name of General Huben when I was in Qingxi. He does what he says and has never broken his promise. Therefore, if he promises to let my family go, there will be no harm to my family."

I’m worried.”

Hearing what Liang Jin said about Li Cun, the Liang family's nervousness immediately relaxed a lot. At least they were safe for the time being.

Liang Jin added: "Xiaoyu acted too recklessly today. For this General Huben to be as powerful as he is now in more than a month, his martial arts and intelligence must be extraordinary. How can she capture him?"

Liang Zhen blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I neglected to teach Yu'er and taught her some martial arts skills, so I made her harm others and myself."

Liang Jin was silent for a while and said: "It's a blessing in disguise."

Liang Zhen asked in confusion: "Why did my father say this?"

Liang Jin said leisurely: "Now that my family has become a thief, it will be as difficult as going to heaven to turn back."

Liang Jin revealed the true situation of the Liang family, which made Liang Zhen and others sigh.

Liang Jin comforted everyone and said:

"But you don't have to be too pessimistic."

"I see that Li Cun is very organized in his actions. His troops follow orders and prohibitions, and advance and retreat in an orderly manner. This is the sign of a strong army. With such a strong army, Li Cun will not be easily wiped out by the imperial court."

"And Li Cun is not like Fang La, who holds high the flag of rebellion. He only calls himself General Huben."

"The fierce and fierce ones are the emperor's personal guards."

"If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid Li Cun will find another way to become an official."

"If this is really the case, when he dies, my Liang family can follow him and change his surname to Zhao."

If you want to get an official position, you will kill people and set fires, and you will be rewarded.

The Liang family has also heard of this.

Moreover, the Liang family not only heard such words, the Liang family also personally experienced that some bandits became their superiors after they suppressed them.

Therefore, Liang Jin's imagination gave the Liang family a glimmer of hope.

Liang Jin added: "This Li Cun can recruit an army of tens of thousands in more than a month, and can train to this point, he must be extraordinary. Moreover, he is only a weak man, and he has a majestic body and appearance. Xiaoyu follows him, so it is not an insult."

If Xiaoyu is really recruited by the government and becomes a high official one day, my Liang family will probably have to rely on him."

After hearing this, Ms. Chen hesitated and said, "If he already has a wife..."

Liang Zhen glared at Chen, who was usually very smart but today he kept saying stupid things.

Seeing the look in Liang Zhen's eyes, Mrs. Chen also realized that what Liang Jin said, including that Li Cunyou might be recruited, was just to comfort everyone.

Think about it, everyone has been taken away by Li Cun, and they will definitely not escape the fate of being ruined by Li Cun, and they, the fish and meat on the chopping board, will definitely not be able to save them.

In this case, if Li Cun could give her daughter the status of a concubine, it would be an excellent outcome.

After thinking about this, Chen couldn't help but shed tears...

…

In the afternoon of the next day, the Huben army arrived at the foot of Fuyang City.

The officials, gentry and nobles in Fuyang City did not abandon the city and flee like the officials in Tonglu and Xincheng. Instead, they prepared to defend the city and wait for the Song army to come for reinforcements.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Cun summoned Liang Jin and said to him: "You, the Liang family, can see me using my troops."

As if Liang Jin didn't see Mrs. Liang who was standing beside Li Cun honestly with her eyes red from crying, she responded respectfully: "No!"

When the Liang family followed Li Cun to Fuyang City, the engineering battalion of the Huben Army had already built ten 10-foot-high arrow towers 350 steps away from Fuyang City, and would capture them from Jiande, Tonglu, Xincheng and other places.

The thirty-odd bed crossbows and the four bed crossbows and arrows seized in Qianjiazhuang were all moved to the arrow tower.

Five hundred steps away from Fuyang City, fifty trebuchets equipped with trebuchets were lined up neatly, and the huge rocks used as cannon stones were all mounted on chicken carts and lined up neatly.

At the same time, the wooden curtains, carriages, and ladders were all in place.

When the war started, Li Cun personally came to the city to take command.

As the war drums sounded, more than thirty crossbows took the lead in releasing jackdaw arrows rhythmically on the Fuyang city wall.

After using seemingly inexhaustible arrows to defeat the defenders of Fuyang City, the trebuchets and the rooster carts equipped with artillery stones behind them moved forward under the cover of wooden curtains.

Three hundred steps later, they arrived at the position specified by Li Cun in advance and fixed it, then fired in groups of ten.

Relying on the firepower of crossbows and trebuchets, Niu Meng personally led his troops to attack the city.

In less than an hour, Niu Meng climbed onto the city wall first.

Then more and more Huben soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

Not long after, the city gate was opened by the Huben Army soldiers from the inside, and thousands of Huben Army soldiers poured in...

Fuyang City is destroyed!
