Chapter 43: Li Ting's surrender
Xie Ruji touched his head and said, "I don't have a job yet, I just follow Cheng Gongzi to study." Cheng Gongzi said that he would wait for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to reward him, and then we would naturally have to wait for him, anyway, there is no hurry, there are still many things we have to learn. Besides, I'm not here to lead the troops again? ”
Li Ting hurriedly said: "Brother Xie just said that we are, I don't know who else has surrendered to Cheng Gongzi?" ”
Xie Ruji said: "The Han people have all surrendered. Including Lu Shikui's people. Oh, Mongolian 10,000 households are under the command of Cheng Gongzi. ”
Li Ting was so surprised that he almost jumped up: "What? Dewarming doesn't take or drops? He is the favorite general of the Han Dynasty, how can he descend? ”
Xie Ruji said with a smile: "Lost to Cheng Gongzi in the dewarming competition, according to the agreement, I can only surrender." This time, he is also here, and he is going to attack Ah Shu with Cheng Gongzi, what do you think of the victory? ”
Li Ting thought for a while, pointed to the right side and said, "I don't know if the other side is Zhang Rongshi?" ”
Xie Ruji smiled and said: "Of course it is, it was Zheng Baode who got out of the way in front of you just now, and it was Liu Shun who was guarding Cheng Gongzi's side, do you think you can win?" ”
Li Ting was shocked, and it took a long time before he smiled bitterly: "With your group of demons and monsters, it's strange to win." ”
Xie Ruji laughed and said, "How is it?" Do it with us. How much better is it for us to assist Cheng Gongzi to achieve a great cause than being a third-class person under the hands of the Mongols? Are you not angry enough? Anyway, Lao Tzu has had enough. ”
Li Ting's heart was beating wildly, and his palms were sweating. Surrender before the battle? This is the last chance, but there is no way back. But if you don't surrender now, where is the slightest possibility of winning in the face of these guys? His feint tactics must have been seen through a long time ago, so Cheng Yuecai didn't care at all. If you surrender yourself, you can immediately turn back and attack Ashu, and you will definitely make a great achievement, and you won't have such a good opportunity in the future. If you don't fall, you will die immediately, and how to choose is really simple.
Li Ting made a decision in his heart, but still asked: "I don't know what kind of character Cheng Gongzi is, why does Brother Xie say that he can achieve great things?" ”
Xie Ruji said: "Although Cheng Gongzi is young, he is a hero who has never been seen in the world. can think what people dare not think, what others can't do, and even more endure what others can't endure. Who can if he doesn't succeed? In my opinion, even Kublai Khan is less than one-third of Cheng Gongzi. Brother Li, you have made this determination. ”
Li Tingqi said: "I understand what you said about what people dare not think, and what you can't do for others, after all, Cheng Gongzi's record is really dizzying." But what does it mean to endure what it means to endure what others can't endure? Could it be that there is anyone else who can give him grievances? ”
Xie Ruji gave a thumbs up and said, "This is what I admire most about Cheng Gongzi." His generals wanted to support him on his own feet, but he didn't care. He obviously has such a powerful weapon in his hand, but he never relies on this to achieve victory. He used to say that weapons are dead, but people are alive. If you blindly rely on powerful weapons, you will fail one day. Boyan is in Changzhou, if Cheng Gongzi is willing, he can actually easily drive him away or even kill him. But Cheng Gongzi was reluctant to do so. He believed that Mongolia was still strong and that the war would not end immediately. If you attack at all costs, you will be victorious, but there will be many casualties. He would rather prepare his weapons better and train his soldiers better before fighting the Mongols to the death, rather than let his soldiers fight for him now. Also, have you seen a few of Ali's concubines in The Hague? ”
Li Ting saw several extremely glamorous shadows appear in front of him, with an envious look on his face, and said, "Yes, I saw it once before when I was drinking with Lord Youcheng. That's three stunning beauties, and a maid is also very beautiful, but I'm afraid that she will also be accepted into the room, right? Ah, you say so, but these beauties have all fallen into the hands of Cheng Gongzi? ”
Xie Ruji nodded and said, "Yes, you don't have to be envious, this Yanfu is not yours, it is not yours." Do you know that Cheng Gongzi is only twenty years old this year, but what did he do? Only one day after he took these four beauties into the room, he took me and others to the camp to confront Boyan, you must know that no one urged him at that time, just preparing for war. What's more, ordinary sergeants still have camp prostitutes to find, and he is a young man with strong blood and is the commander, so he can bring beauty into the camp at all, but he actually refused this kind of ** in order not to affect morale, if you and I fell into such a gentle township when we were young, where could we get out so quickly? That's why I said that Cheng Gongzi can endure what others can't endure. Do you think I'm right? ”
Li Ting showed a look of fascination and sighed: "Alas, don't talk about when you were young, even now, if it were me, there were four such beauties, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come out in three or two months." It's a shame that he is so young and can bear it like this. ”
Xie Ruji said: "That's not all, Jiangyin Li Shixiu gave him two beautiful women, and he was willing to throw them in Jiangyin and never delay the business." What do you think? I'm not wrong, right? Cheng Gongzi is worthy of investment! Brother Li, you are also a hero for a while, what are you waiting for? ”
Li Ting stood up, walked back and forth for a long time, and finally clapped his hands, held Xie Ruji's hand and said, "In this case, please take care of Brother Xie." ”
Xie Ruji was overjoyed, and also held his hand and said: "Congratulations Brother Li, in the future, we will fight side by side, are you still worried about not being rich?" ”
The two clapped their hands and laughed.
Cheng Yue had already seen it on the boat, and knowing that Xie Ruji had completed the task, he smiled slightly and put down the sniper rifle.
Li Ting immediately ordered all of them to surrender to Cheng Yue and obey Cheng Yue's orders. In fact, if you don't surrender, you can't do it, and Li Ting's navy has almost been surrounded. Li Ting boarded Cheng Yue's boat with Xie Ruji to meet Cheng Yue and Liu Shun.
Cheng Yueming immediately marched towards Guazhou. Waiting for Li ** boat, he encouraged him with a smile, and he was indeed very happy. Li Ting is also the general of the naval army in this Mongolian invasion of the south, brave and resourceful, and it is of course best to subdue him. What made him happiest was that the soldiers directly received Li Ting's 5,000 sailors without bloodshed, and Li Ting charged for him.
Li Ting made meritorious contributions and explained all the arrangements of Ah Shu clearly.
After listening to this, Xie Ruji said: "These sons have already expected it, and the sons have even arranged the battle at night, and now that you have come here, the chances of winning are already very great." But is there going to be any change? ”
Cheng Yue said: "With Li Ting's help, of course, we must rush straight to Guazhou with lightning speed, defeat all the water armies of Ashu, and then take Guazhou directly." Ah Shu is going to fight at night, and we are afraid that we will not have time to accompany him. Li Ting, you lead 5,000 people to be the vanguard, Xie Ruji and Zhang Rongshi each lead 3,000 sailors as two wings, be sure to defeat the Guazhou navy, destroy the return artillery on the shore, I will wait for your signal behind you. If you have a way to recruit Liu Chen and Liu Guojie, try as much as you can, but after I landed, they only wanted to surrender, it would be different. ”
Li Ting gave up his hand and left, and Xie Ruji went to convey the order.
Liu Shun said: "I didn't expect that Gongzi would use a little trick to make that Li Ting dare not make a move, so he surrendered." Childe's plan, I'm afraid that there may not be anyone who will come after the ancients. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I didn't think he would surrender. But I know one thing, that is, in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless, it's as simple as that. We have a strong army, and a few of your generals are leading the troops, and if we don't win, we can't say anything. ”
"Hahahaha......" the two laughed.
When the sentinel ship sent by Ah Shu heard that Li Ting had ordered surrender, it immediately flew back to report the news. Cheng Yue's boat soon followed.
The sentry ship was a small boat, and several people rocked the oars desperately, moving very fast, and finally threw Cheng Yue's fleet away. Several people were so tired that they were paralyzed, and finally saw Guazhou from a distance. At this time, the ship of the Yuan army came to inquire, and when they heard that Li Ting had surrendered without a fight, they were all shocked and frightened, and hurriedly went to report to Liu Chen and Liu Guojie that they knew.
A few people from the sentry ship barely approached the dock, and they were already exhausted and about to collapse, but they could only grit their teeth and ride on their horses, and then gallop towards Ashu's military tent.
Ah Shu and Kura were wearing armor and waiting for news, when they saw several sailors of the sentry ship coming in from the outside, all kneeling on the ground, looking at them without tears, but they couldn't speak.
Ah Shu's face changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Tell me quickly, what is it? ”
A sailor swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Prime Minister Qiyu, Li Ting surrendered without a fight, and Cheng Yue is attacking with all his might!" ”
"What?! Are you telling the truth? Ah Shu and Kuramu couldn't sit still, and they all rushed to the front of the sailors and shouted.
The sailors kowtowed again and again: "The little one is willing to guarantee the head of the item!" The little one left when he saw that Li Ting's navy had all surrendered, and he never dared to lie about the military situation! ”
"Huh!? It's broken! "How could Ah Shu and Ku Ra not know the stakes, they are both angry and corrupt.
Suddenly, he roared in Mongolian language: "These Han people are just unreliable!" I'm going to kill them! ”
Ah Shu shouted: "Don't talk about this for the sake of today!" You immediately lead your troops to the shore to defend, and you have to find a way to stabilize Liu Chen and Liu Guojie, and don't let them surrender too! All centaurs, prepare to fight to the death! My Great Yuan soldiers and horses are invincible in the world, as long as they go ashore, let them die without a place to be buried! ”
Suddenly, he let out a loud roar and rushed out of the tent, and the sailors also stumbled out.
Ah Shu immediately organized his troops and horses, took his own lance, and led his most elite cavalry to organize the formation and head towards the shore.
Li Ting led 5,000 naval troops to counterattack the Yuan army, and he had some mixed feelings in his heart. But he knows that whether he can be reused in the future depends first on this battle.
Look at Xie Ruji and Zhang Rongshi on the left and right, they are all full of energy. Li Ting cheered up, urged the warship, and headed straight for Guazhou.
Liu Chen couldn't help but be taken aback when he got the battle report and said that Li Ting had surrendered.
