Even if the soldiers behind him wanted to step forward to save someone, it was a pity that the distance was too far, and there was nothing they could do for a while.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Xing Daorong who had been thrown to the ground in front of him, and waved his hand, some soldiers had already stepped forward to tie up Xing Daorong and escorted him back.
In the camp, Cheng Yaojin took off his armor, looked at Xing Daorong who was kneeling on the ground with his armor stripped off, and said with a sneer, "This general is well-informed, but I didn't expect that there are still people in a small Lingling city." You are such a shameless person."
Xing Daorong's mouth was stuffed with someone's stinky sock. It was so sour and unbearable.
"Okay, take out the sock, I want to hear if he still has such a big tone." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and the deputy general next to him quickly stepped forward and pulled out the sock.
Xing Daorong retched for a long time, finally regained his composure.Seeing Cheng Yaojin smiling and looking at him, he quickly kowtowed and said, "General Cheng, as a young man, I just eat a mouthful of food. I didn't know Taishan and provoked you. I hope you will not forget the villain's mistakes and forgive the little one." A dog's life!"
Cheng Yaojin sneered and said: "This general is not a bloodthirsty person, it would be easy to forgive you."
"Thank you, sir." Xing Daorong kowtowed repeatedly.
"Slow down, the general hasn't finished speaking yet. If you can help me capture Liu Du and take the Lingling City in front of me, I will let you go."
Xing Daorong said repeatedly: "The little ones are willing to go, the young ones are willing to go!"
Cheng Yaojin asked back: "How did you help me capture Liu Du?"
Xing Daorong said lightly: "As long as the general lets me go back, I am willing to help the general come to sneak attack tonight, and then capture Liu Du and his son alive and present them to the general."
Cheng Yaojin patted the table and praised: "If you can capture Liu Du and his son, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and the deputy general next to him quickly released Xing Daorong.
Xing Daorong was terrified and returned to Lingling City.He told Liu Du the whole story.
Liu Du asked: "If Cheng Yaojin comes to attack, what should we do?"
Xing Daorong sneered and said: "My lord, you can rest assured. In my opinion, that Cheng Yaojin is just a vain name. The last general tricked him by tricking him. Since he is going to attack, we can use the plan and lay an ambush in the army tonight." Inside the city, wait for Cheng Yaojin to come and attack him, if he enters the city, he will surely die without a place to bury him."
Liu Du and his son followed suit.
At the second watch of the night, as Xing Daorong said, a group of soldiers and horses from outside the city came to the city.
The city gate was ajar, and the Qi army quickly entered the city without thinking.Just at this time, there was a cannon shot from the left and right of the city gate, Liu Xian and Xing Daorong killed them twice, and the Qi army quickly withdrew.Liu Xian and Xing Daorong quickly chased after them. After chasing for more than ten miles, they found that Qi Jun, who was close at hand, had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Xian turned pale with shock, and quickly asked Xing Daorong.
Xing Daorong brags that he is a good player, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he is probably just a dead man.
"Young master, are they trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"
Liu Xian was shocked when he heard the words, in order to catch Cheng Yaojin, they dispatched most of the soldiers and horses in the city.There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city right now, if Cheng Yaojin mobilizes soldiers and horses to attack at this moment, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Go back to the city!" Liu Xian cursed, and quickly returned to the army with his soldiers and horses.
Just less than ten miles back, soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from the slope, before Xing Daorong could react, a cold light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Xian was about to pull his horse and flee, when suddenly there was a huge shock from his back, before he could react, he grabbed him and threw him to the ground behind him, soldiers rushed forward to tie Liu Xian up.
Only then did Liu Xian realize that everything was a strategy, everything was Cheng Yaojin's strategy.
It's a pity that they were completely kept in the dark and fell into the trap.
For him right now, it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not, the most important thing is to survive.
"General Cheng, Xing Daorong taught me to do everything, not because I really intended to do this!" Liu Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Liu Xian in front of him, and said with contempt on his face: "I heard that you are also a clan member of the Han family?"
Liu Xian blushed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Well, we, we can't afford to climb this high branch."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Xian in front of him and said: "No way, before I entered Jingzhou, I heard that you are also clan relatives of the Han family. Although they are distant relatives, at least the blood of the great ancestor Liu Bang is flowing on your body."
Liu Xian's face became more and more red, and he said in a low voice: "It was all to get closer to Liu Jingzhou back then. In fact, we have nothing to do with the clan of the Han Dynasty."
Cheng Yaojin laughed out loud when he heard this.
"No matter who your ancestors were, now see what value you have in your father's heart."
All the soldiers escorted Liu Xian to go straight to Lingling. Seeing this, Liu Du knew that there was nothing he could do to bring back the sky, so he could only raise the lowered flag on the city, opened the city gate, and walked out of the city holding the seal and ribbon.
Unlike the others, Cheng Yaojin didn't intend to kill Liu Du directly.
Lingling County is different from other places in that it is an important traffic route leading to Jiaozhou.
Although the DPRK did not issue an order to attack Jiaozhou, everyone knew it.
Those who win Jingzhou can attack Jiangdong in the east, and directly take the counties of Jiaozhou in the south.
At such an important checkpoint location, Cheng Yaojin needs to continue fighting before the imperial court arranges for an official candidate to arrive, and he doesn't have much time to guard here.
And this is the most suitable place, so Liu Du can only continue to guard it.The only difference is that before Cheng Yaojin left, he kept Liu Xian in his own army, nominally as his lieutenant general, but actually secretly as a hostage.
The four counties in Jingnan were all captured by the Qi State like the autumn wind sweeping the mess. Half of the Tang State has been lost, and its vitality is about to be cut off.
Chapter 883
The fall of the four Jingnan counties was a devastating blow to the entire Southern Tang Dynasty.
The original Southern Tang Dynasty is like the land area of Chen State in the Southern Dynasty, and the land area of Qi State is like the Northern Zhou Dynasty that unified the north and occupied the land of Yizhou.If Jingzhou is still in Chen Guo's hands, even if they can't make progress, it is not difficult to separate one side by relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River.
But right now, with the loss of the four counties in Jingzhou, the Yangtze River is no longer the lifeline of the Southern Tang Dynasty, nor is it the northern barrier they rely on.
Although there are three states on the surface of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the core is Jiangdong, and the lifeblood is Jingzhou. As for Jiaozhou in the south, although it was the place where the Southern Tang Dynasty started, it has a large area and few people. After several years of conquest, the population has been lost Not a lot.
Even if the Qi State seized the land of Jiaozhou, it didn't matter to Southern Tang.
Only, the four counties of Jingzhou were so easily lost, which was beyond the expectations of the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Everyone, now that the four counties of Jingzhou have been lost, let's discuss how to regain the lost land." Li Yuan's face was extremely ugly.
Although he knew that among his four sons, the eldest and third sons were average in strength, and they were inferior to the second son in terms of literary and martial arts.But I didn't expect them to be so useless and useless.
A [-] army, that's a whole [-] army, even if it's a [-] pigs, it won't lose so quickly, so badly!
The most serious thing is that the Southern Tang Dynasty had only one hundred thousand sailors.Now 5 people have been lost by Li Jiancheng, and the warships are all cheaper for Qi.
The enemy rises and we disappear. Such a situation is simply a disaster for the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is not how to recover the lost ground, but how to rescue the crown prince and His Highness King Qi." Although Cai Jing's face looked extremely heavy, his heart was full of joy.
Who would have thought that these sons of Li Yuan are really powerful enough.
The sons of other people always try their best to help their father conquer the world.Who would have thought that this Li Yuan's son would not only be unable to help, but also help behind the scenes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that the army of Qi State is encircling Xiangyang. If there is no way to get His Highness the Crown Prince out now, I am afraid that not only the [-] army will be wiped out, but even His Highness the Crown Prince will be wiped out." Got it." Qin Hui said hastily.
