Chapter 110: Surplus Value
***
That night, Qin Mu cooked cattle and slaughtered sheep in the camp, and also opened a ban on alcohol, 2,000 soldiers cheered, talked and laughed, gathered around a large piece of meat, drank wine in a big bowl, and celebrated a victory just achieved, until the second watch in the camp did not stop.
Since many soldiers were drunk, it was inevitable that there would be some negligence in the defense;
At the time of the third watch, there were only thirty or forty people left to defend the gate of the village, and the rebel prisoners imprisoned in the small camp had already been connected in series, and they rushed out together at this time, and the dozens of people guarding the gate only had time to release a round of arrows, and saw thousands of prisoners rushing out, and their momentum was unstoppable, so they fled.
Li Tongliang was mixed among the captives, and rushed to the front at this time, he opened the gate of the village, and shouted: "Everyone run away, hurry up, the officers and soldiers on the side of the Chinese army camp will soon receive the news, and they will kill them immediately, run away, and we will be safe if we flee back to Ganzhou, hurry."
The officers among the captives were cut down by Qin Mu during the day, and the rest were small soldiers, like scattered sand, under the instigation of Li Tongliang and others, they rushed out of the camp, and there was no weapon in their hands, no one thought of attacking Qin Mu's Chinese army camp at all, and as soon as they rushed out of the gate of the village, they immediately scattered and fled for their lives, and everyone had only one thought in their hearts, the farther away the better.
It's just that most of them have night blindness, and in the process of escaping, they don't dare to use torches, their eyes are dark, they bump around like headless flies in the dark, run ten steps and eight steps and fall into a lot of meat, and can only grope slowly, how fast can they escape?
After receiving the report, Qin Mu was furious, and immediately drew his sword to "cut" the general who was responsible for guarding the prisoners, and then beat the drum to gather the generals and order the troops to pursue.
However, his soldiers drank until the second watch before they fell asleep, and many of them were drunk and did not wake up, so Qin Mudong scraped together 800 men and horses, and hurriedly went out of the camp to hunt down the fleeing captives.
It's just that the night is blank. Once the captives have escaped, how can it be so easy to hunt them all back? Qin Mu was exhausted and tired, and by dawn he had only captured more than 1,500 people, and the rest had escaped.
For this reason, Qin Mu was furious, and on the same day, he ordered all the soldiers and horses, and came to Yuanzhou City, and the three armies were murderous, looking like they were ready to slaughter the city.
The rebels in Yuanzhou City are now gloomy and bleak, as if they are on the verge of the end, and a thousand men and horses have just been slaughtered in Liujia Village. The head was taken to Yuanzhou City to build a Jingguan, and then the 7,000 army suffered a night attack on the original mountain, and the whole army was annihilated, and even the commander Zhang Qi was captured alive.
Now, although two or three thousand defeated soldiers have fled back, it is good that these people do not flee back, and after they flee back, they will say that the process of the fiasco of Yuanshanping will be exaggerated, and in order to cover up their own incompetence, they will naturally exaggerate the ferocity of the officers and soldiers;
Qin Mu slaughtered in Liujia Village, and built a Beijing Temple under the city of Yuanzhou. The name of the murderer was loud enough, and after the rout soldiers who fled back exaggerated, Qin Mu had become a three-headed and six-armed hell demon with white eyes in the eyes of the rebels. His 2,000 subordinates have also become demon soldiers and demon generals, fierce and vicious.
This made the defenders in the city even more panicked, if it weren't for the closure of the four cities of Yuanzhou, it is estimated that many people would have chosen to be deserters.
In charge of staying in Yuanzhou was Zhang Qi's deputy general Gao Ze. He is the opposite of Zhang Qi, who is slightly shorter, with five big and three thick, and a bearded face. The charge is very powerful, and it can be said that he is Zhang Qi's striker in this army of forwards.
Although he fought bravely and made up for Zhang Qi's shortcomings, he was inevitably lacking in strategy and the ability to control the overall situation.
Gao Ze had no other way than to close the gate of Yuanzhou and quickly send someone to ask Zhang Xianzhong for help.
There was chaos in the city, and the morale of the army was floating, and I heard that Qin Mu was returning to Yuanzhou with a large army, and some people even persuaded Gao Ze to give up Yuanzhou and return to join Zhang Xianzhong first.
Gao Ze was furious, and cut down the people who persuaded him, damn it, these bitches didn't have a good heart, you must be fine if you give up Yuanzhou, but Lao Tzu has to be beheaded by the king.
Yuan Zhou must not give up lightly, but whether he can keep it before Zhang Xianzhong arrives, Gao Ze is not very sure in his heart, although there are still 10,000 troops in the city, but the army is panicked, and there are not many people who only want to escape, what is the use of such a large number of people, maybe Qin Mu's army will launch a round of fierce attack, and these 10,000 subordinates will collapse.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gao Ze made a lot of publicity, saying that Zhang Xianzhong's army would arrive tomorrow, and he also made the soldiers eat a lot of food, and promised that as long as they stick to the arrival of reinforcements, there will be a heavy reward, and Gao Ze has used all the means he can think of, and the military spirit in the city has finally stabilized a little.
As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Qin Mu's army drove to the city of Yuanzhou, the banner of the word "Qin" with red characters on a black background, black as hell, red as blood, flying in the wind, rolling, as if full of endless magic, the rebels at the head of Yuanzhou City saw it from afar, and they couldn't help but be full of horror.
In addition to the 1,700 soldiers under Qin Mu, there were 1,200 rebel prisoners, nearly 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 heads.
After the army arrived at the city of Yuanzhou, the first thing was to build a view of the capital, in order to deter the rebels to the greatest extent, Qin Mu is now happy to do this, and more than a thousand heads were soon piled up into a hill under the city of Yuanzhou.
Jingguan, see Jingguan again.
It's only been a few days, and it's been the second time that the city of Yuanzhou has built up the Jingguan, and there are more and more heads every time, and the base is higher and higher, and the rebels at the head of the city can see the terrifying scene from afar, and an atmosphere of pessimism and fear suddenly permeated the city, and even the sun seemed to have lost its heat.
Qin Mu looked at Zhang Qi who was wrapped like a mummy on the stretcher, and secretly laughed, at that time, Zhang Qi's speed of the war horse had not yet been raised, but he was impacting at full speed, and the two horses rolled out after the collision, Zhang Qi was pressed under the horse, his face was scratched, his left calf bone was also broken, and his body was full of abrasions, leaving only half an old life.
In line with the creed of the capitalists, before squeezing out all the surplus value of Zhang Qi, Qin Mu naturally tried his best to save him, and now it was time to squeeze out the surplus value of his zuihou.
"Zhang Qi, do you think you are very unwilling to be defeated by me like this?"
Zhang Qi was silent for a while before he replied: "Defeat is defeat, looking back, I was not wronged by defeat, there is nothing unwilling." ”
"Very good, you are a real person, then we have a good basis for trading, you help me persuade the rebels in the city to go out of the city and surrender, this official let you go, yes!" Don't be busy refusing first, life is precious, besides, if you die like this, you will forever lose the opportunity to turn the tables, you first think about the deeds of King Yue Goujian, after completing this transaction, you still have a chance, maybe one day it will be the turn of the official to lose under your hands. ”
Qin Muxiang lured the little Lori to see the strange uncle of the goldfish, and induced him earnestly. It is impossible to say that Zhang Qi is not moved at all, after all, there is only one life, Zhang Qi is not an ideal fighter, and he can not hesitate to throw his head and spill blood for the great cause of rebellion.
He joined the rebels, at first because he was forced by life, and then for a fortune, if his life was gone, any wealth would become a joke.
"You're really going to let me go?" Zhang Qi didn't even look at him, obviously not believing his words.
"You think too highly of yourself, now, the official is the winner, you are like an ant in the eyes of the official at the moment, you can fabricate a dead ant at will, in other words, as long as the official is happy, it is not a big deal to let go of an ant."
It's okay to deceive a three-year-old child with this kind of words, but it's a pity that Zhang Qi is not a three-year-old child, of course, Qin Mu didn't expect him to believe it, so he then added: "Either you go and persuade the rebels in the city to surrender, or the official uses your head to try, maybe there is still some deterrence, you can choose one of these two options." ”
Qin Mu's words sounded careless and didn't seem to be threatening, but if you look at the Jingguan that used human heads to form a small mountain, you would know that the words he wanted to use human heads were not just false words and intimidation.
Zhang Qi weighed it again and again, knowing that he didn't have any bargaining chips to blackmail Qin Mu, so he had to reluctantly replied: "I'm willing to give it a try, but I'm already your captive now, and my words may not work." ”
"Move with emotion, know with reason, you just need to do this."
Zhang Qi was quickly pushed under the city, and the rebels in the city were in an uproar when they saw the commander being escorted over.
"Look, look, isn't that our General Zhang?"
"Yes, yes, it's not wrong, General Zhang was really captured."
"Oh my God, what can I do, even General Zhang has been captured, let's run away, I heard that once he is caught by the officers and soldiers, his head will be cut off to build a capital temple."
"Shhhh Be quiet, let General Gao hear, he will cut us first. ”
Before Zhang Qi could open his mouth to persuade him to surrender, the rebels in the city were already panicked when they saw him, as if they had been stripped of their backbone.
Zhang Qi was sitting on a stretcher, escorted by Zhu Yijin to a stone's throw away, he looked at the city with a complicated expression, and Zhu Yijin immediately urged impatiently: "Zhang Zai, let's start." ”
Zhang Qi had to shout to the head of the city: "The soldiers in the city" shouted loudly and touched his wounds, cold sweat couldn't help but break out, Zhu Yijin pulled out his knife without the slightest mercy, Zhang Qi had to endure the pain and then shouted, "Brothers in the city, I am your commander Zhang Qi, you are not the opponent of the officers and soldiers, open the city gate and surrender, take the initiative to surrender, the officers and soldiers will treat you well, otherwise when the city is broken, your heads will be cut off and built into a Jingguan, just like"
Is it like anything? Zhang Qi is less than ten zhang away from the mountain-like Jingguan.
