When Qu Yunmie led his troops to the front of the formation, he did not launch a charge immediately. Instead, he asked a soldier with a loud voice to stand up and shout at Zi Tong.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"The King of Zhenbei will only eliminate the main culprits and punish the traitors. Those who hand over the traitors will be given an official position and a reward of a thousand gold coins!"
“Everyone gets a share!”…
He shouted once, and then again. The soldier's voice echoed throughout the open space. The Nanyong soldiers standing on the Zitong city wall couldn't help but clench their spears.
Everyone has a share, which means that the people of Nanyong also have a share.
Faced with such temptation, it is hard for anyone not to be tempted, but even if they are tempted, few people really have the courage to surrender immediately, after all, they are still in the city. When the King of Zhenbei breaks in, Shangguan will no longer be able to keep an eye on them, and it is hard to say what they will do.
After shouting it ten times to ensure that every person guarding the city could hear it, Qu Yunmie grasped the Xueyinchou Spear and raised it up suddenly.
The silver spear was raised high, and all the Zhenbei Army could see the signal. Even if some people could not hear Qu Yunmie's words, after seeing this sign, they immediately responded with roars.
"Charge! Kill all these traitors!"
The King of Zhenbei led the army personally, and came to kill the rebels. The morale of the Zhenbei army was high, and the outcome was decided in just half an hour. Shen Yangrui sent a total of 5,000 people, of whom 3,000 died, 1,500 surrendered, and only 500 people escaped back in a panic.
Shen Yangrui: “…”
Although he did not send out his elite troops, it was really too much to lose so easily!
Shen Yangrui felt embarrassed but didn't say anything. Only a part of these 5,000 people were his soldiers, and most of them were the city defense troops that already existed in Zitong. He sent these people out just for show and to test the strength of the Zhenbei Army. Now, the last bit of luck is gone.
With a serious look, he immediately asked someone to call Yuan Baifu over, and at the same time instructed Yuan Baifu to bring Xiao Rong over as well.
He agreed to Yuan Baifu's kidnapping of Xiao Rong, not because he wanted to make Qu Yunmie withdraw his troops, but to give himself a chance to negotiate. He did not intend to offend Qu Yunmie to death. At the same time, he also wanted to work hard on Xiao Rong to let him know that he had no choice but to do so. Moreover, this plan was proposed by Yuan Baifu, the traitor of the Zhenbei Army, not them.
This is also the real reason why Shen Yangrui has always wanted to keep Xiao Rong here with him. He needs to keep a retreat route in many ways.
He felt that Yuan Baifu disagreed before because time was not that urgent, but this time it was urgent. Yuan Baifu came back from a shortcut last night. Even if the troops chasing him were slow, they should have arrived this afternoon. It was a bit too much for Yuan Baifu to still suppress Xiao Rong at this time.
He thought Yuan Baifu should be sensible, but Shen Yangrui got rejected again. This time, Yuan Baifu not only refused to make friends with Xiao Rong, but he also refused to see Shen Yangrui. ...
After closing the door, Qu Jin looked at Yuan Baifu's calm appearance, and he became more and more worried.
He couldn't help but say to Yuan Baifu, "If you don't hand Xiao Rong over, they might think you have ulterior motives."
Yuan Baifu took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "Then they are right. I do have ulterior motives."
Qu Jin was stunned. He asked quickly, "Have you changed your mind? Do you not want to be the King of Jiangyang anymore?"
Yuan Baifu smiled slightly and said, "No, what's so good about being the King of Jiangyang? I want to be the King of Zhenbei."
Qu Jin: “…………”
He opened his eyes wide in shock, but Yuan Baifu didn't see his reaction at all. He was still talking to himself, "When Qu Yunmie knows that Xiao Rong has arrived in Zitong, he will definitely rush over, but he dare not rush to the city gate because he is afraid that Xiao Rong will get into trouble. At this time, I will take Xiao Rong to the city wall with me. I will let Qu Yunmie watch how I killed his precious military advisor. When Qu Yunmie becomes a madman, you stay down there and open the city gate. Even if it costs a pile of lives, you must leave Qu Yunmie's life here for me."
At this point, he smiled again: "Once Qu Yunmie is dead, the 20,000-plus men under him will not be a threat. After killing them all, the next one will be Shen Yangrui. The people of Nanyong are all trash, and they have no backbone. By then, many of them will choose to surrender. In this way, Ningzhou will be mine."
"The Zhenbei Army no longer has Qu Yunmie, and Nanyong no longer has Shen Yangrui, so I can be whatever king I want, don't you think?"
Turning to look at Qu Jin, Yuan Baifu saw no sign of approval on his face, so he asked him expressionlessly, "Do you think this plan is bad?"
Qu Jin wanted to smile to reassure Yuan Baifu, because Yuan Baifu's expression was too scary at that moment, but his face seemed to have frozen, and he couldn't move the muscles on his face. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and shouted, "Good! Very good, this way, Qu Yunmie must be dead!"
But Yuan Baifu's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at him and then looked away.
Qu Jin had no idea what Yuan Baifu was thinking, nor did he know whether he believed what he said. At this time, people from Shen Yangrui's side came to urge Yuan Baifu again. Yuan Baifu frowned, but still put down the teacup, got up and walked out.
Qu Jin stayed here obediently until Yuan Baifu had been gone for a while, then he suddenly stood up.
Crazy, Yuan Baifu is crazy, can that be called a plan? That is his imagination!
The people in the rear army didn't listen to them at all. Shen Yangrui was not a useless person, not to mention that Qu Yunmie was so furious that thousands of people might not be able to stop him. The Xianbei people were able to succeed because they had a great archer, but Zitong County had nothing!
Qu Jin didn't want to die here, and even more didn't want to die under the drag of a madman. With clenched fists, Qu Jin made up his mind.
Qu Jin walked quickly towards the prison, repeating himself in his mind as he walked.
Live, yes, I have to live!
