Chapter 105: Surrender without a Fight
Dangxiang Longzhou was originally a Song stone fort and an important place for confrontation with the Song Dynasty. Di Qing's army came from the east, and after occupying Youzhou, he went all the way down the Wuding River, and sent Jiao Yong to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Longzhou.
Jiao Yong led the army to the city, and when he saw that the city gate was wide open, the Longzhou guards had already greeted him outside, willing to surrender.
Looking at the surrounding mountains, Jiao Yong was in a happy mood. He originally led his troops south to quell the rebellion of Changyi Yuanzhi, but did not participate in the battle of Lingzhou. Unexpectedly, Chang Yi Yuanzhi was cunning and abnormal, and led a part of the army to sneak through the Hulu River and go to Hehuang, which made Jiao Yong pounce. The rest of the rebellious army scattered and fled, and Jiao Yong's department did not gain much military merit. I didn't want to attack Longzhou, but I went down without a fight.
Liang Nengwei, the guard general of Longzhou, urged him to immediately move forward and salute: "Liang Nengwei, the criminal general, has seen the captain." I heard that the Taiwei came with a large army, and packed up the edition books early in the next morning, and all kinds of words were stored in the city lord's mansion. Waiting for the lieutenant, everything will be handed over to the imperial court. ”
Jiao Yong nodded and smiled: "Very good, very good!" This time, the army came north, and all of them were powder. You can see the situation clearly, return to the court as soon as possible, and not lose your wealth. Take me into the city and have a drink! ”
Liang Nengwei hurriedly said yes, took Jiao Yong and his entourage, and entered Longzhou City.
When he arrived at the official hall, Liang Nengwei instructed the officials to take the published books and various texts and hand them over to Jiao, which was regarded as a return to the imperial court. Where does Jiao Yong know this? sent one of his cronies who was literate and hyphenated to collect these. said to Liang Nengwei: "This city will return to the imperial court from now on, which is really a great joy!" And roast a sheep in the official hall, and we drink and celebrate. ”
Liang Nengwei hurriedly said yes and sent someone to arrange it. It's not war-free, it's always rich, and it's all well prepared.
After entering the official hall, Jiao Yong thought about it and said to Liang Nengwei: "My sons and daughters have traveled hundreds of miles, and the road is extremely hard. Command the people of the city to cook some meat and prepare some wine, for the army to enjoy. ”
Liang Nengwei agreed, sent someone to buy some sheep in the city to slaughter, boiled the meat in a cauldron, and gave it to Song Jun.
Seeing that everything was going well, Jiao Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he entered the official hall with a few important generals under his command, he lit a fire on the ground and set up a few sheep on it. Liang Nengwei ordered the soldiers to bring in a few jars of wine and said, "Some wine and meat for the captains to enjoy." ”
Jiao Yong nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." You also sit down here, and we'll gossip. There are our own children cooking outside, so we don't need to bother. You have dedicated the city, and after I play the court, there will be a reward! ”
Liang Nengwei hurriedly thanked him and sat down under Jiao Yong.
The soldier poured the wine, and Jiao Yong raised the wine bowl and said: "After a few days of hard work, I have to enter Longzhou City today and have a drink!" ”
Everyone drank wine together, and Jiao Yong said: "The lord of Liang City raised the city and surrendered, the so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man, and the court will have a reward." Let's have another drink together and celebrate the Lord of Liang City! ”
A few words, already a few bowls of wine. Jiao Yong only felt comfortable physically and mentally, and looked at the mutton on the fire that was still undercooked, and felt a little monotonous. said to Liang Nengwei: "City Lord, there are people in the city who can sing small songs and sing and dance, call a few to come over." Wouldn't it be nice for us to drink wine and watch singing and dancing at the same time? What's the point of sitting together like this and drinking dry? ”
Liang Nengwei said: "Taiwei, Longzhou is a small place, and we are rough people, and there are really no singers in the city." ”
Jiao Yong was unhappy when he heard it: "Good or bad is a city, why is there no woman who can sing and dance?" There are no singers, so it's good to find a few charming women to come and drink with them. We've traveled hundreds of miles, and it's hard to take a break, just drinking, what's the point? ”
Seeing Jiao Yong's face change, Liang Nengwei couldn't help but cry out in his heart. I had no choice but to leave the official hall, call my own soldiers over, and let me go out to find a few good-looking women to accompany Jiao Yong and others to drink together.
The soldier said: "City Lord, we don't have a big restaurant here, where is there a woman who accompanies the wine?" ”
Liang Nengwei said: "If Taiwei Jiao wants it, then we can only have it." If there is no singer, you go to some of the rich families in the city, and let them have young women in their houses, and bring them with them. Tell them that if you don't send it, it will provoke Captain Jiao's soldiers and kill everyone, don't blame me for not reminding them. By the way, let them dress up the woman before coming, so as not to lose the interest of Captain Jiao. ”
The soldiers had no choice but to fork their hands. Although Longzhou is not big, there are always a few wealthy families, and the women in their families are still passable.
Back in the official hall, Liang Nengwei arched his hand and said: "Taiwei, there is really no woman in this city who can sing and dance. I ordered my soldiers to go and find a few good-looking women to come and drink with the captain. ”
Jiao Yong nodded again and again: "Okay, good, it's interesting to have a woman with you, and to drink." Otherwise, we will drink dry, how embarrassing. The lord of the castle will do it, and we will drink together. Enjoy it tonight, don't get drunk! ”
Liang Nengwei said yes, came over and sat down, raised his glass to Jiao Yong to persuade wine.
Jiao drank a glass of wine, and when the roasted sheep was cooked, the soldiers cut it and put it on a plate, and distributed it to everyone.
Jiao Yong grabbed a large piece of meat, took a hard bite, and said, "Okay, refreshing, refreshing!" There is wine and meat tonight, and it is worth a few days of hard work! ”
Everyone drank wine and ate meat together, talked and laughed loudly, and the official hall was very lively for a while.
Not long after, the soldiers came back, brought five women in, and saluted Liang Nengwei.
Liang Nengwei saw that several women were dressed up, although they were not very colorful, there was still a bit of charm under the candlelight.
Jiao Yong saw it and said loudly: "Why are there only these few people?" I have ten generals here, do you want two of them to share one?! ”
Liang Nengwei said with a smile: "Taiwei, in the small city of Longzhou, there are only these few people. How dare an ordinary peasant woman call to pollute your eyes? Everything is about to be settled, talk and laugh, drink some wine, and rest early. ”
Jiao Yong looked back at the five women, pointed to the middle two, and said, "You come and drink with me." For the rest, accompany several generals! ”
The five women trembled with fear, and did not dare to disobey. The middle two came to Jiao Yong's side and saluted him.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Jiao Yong only felt hot all over his body, patted his side and said, "Come, come, sit down quickly." In such a cold weather, warm up with wine and wine! You are safe and sound in Longzhou City, you have to thank the City Lord of Liang! ”
The two women stepped forward, sat down beside Jiao Yong, huddled together, and did not dare to speak.
Jiao Yong raised the wine bowl in front of him and said to the woman beside him: "Drink a bowl of wine with me, and let's talk together!" ”
The woman said timidly: "Back to Taiwei, the concubine doesn't drink." ”
Jiao Yong said: "If you don't know how to drink, then learn!" I think when I was three years old, I stole my father's wine and drank it, got drunk for a long time, and was beaten half to death by my father. Drink it secretly a few more times later, and it will be gone, and if you can't do it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable! ”
As he spoke, he shoved the bowl into the woman's mouth and forced her to take a big sip. The woman had never drunk before, and her face was flushed and she coughed.
Jiao Yong was overjoyed, drank a big sip of wine by himself, and said goodbye again and again. Holding the bowl of wine, he forced the woman on the other side to drink. Seeing that the leader was like this, the rest of the generals pulled the remaining three women, this one took a sip of wine in his arms, and the other hugged and kissed him, and for a while there was chaos in the official hall.
Liang Nengwei forced a laugh, accompanied Jiao Yong and the generals, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time.
At this time, it was the second half of the first month, and although the sky was still cold, there was no chill in the wind. After drinking for a while, one of the generals felt hot, took off his robe outside, and took a big sip of wine. The general who saw the side was holding the woman and laughing, and on a whim, he dragged the woman over, kissed her fiercely, and said loudly: "Straight mother thief, drink a few bowls of wine and eat a few pieces of meat, and a fire rises in your stomach!" Drink wine, and I will make out with this woman, and get rid of the anger in my body! ”
The generals on one side coaxed: "Don't talk nonsense, you have to come out on top tonight!" ”
The general said: "Grandpa can drink wine, he can fight, what if he comes out on top!" If you don't accept it, you hit me first! ”
After saying that, he laughed and walked to the next room with the woman in his arms. The woman was so frightened that she cried and struggled, but where could she break free? The rest of the generals clapped their hands and cheered together, and some took the woman in their arms and kept touching her hands.
Jiao Yong said to Liang Nengwei: "These days of marching, the road is really hard, these people are suffocated. It's a pity that there are too few women here, and there are many inconveniences. If it's more than two, it's very good. ”
Liang Nengwei hurriedly said: "Taiwei, there is really not much left in the small town of Longzhou. ”
Jiao Yong hugged the woman beside him: "That's a pity, these women have to work harder!" ”
As he spoke, he laughed with the woman in his arms.
