Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 47 Tooth extraction (2)
"Master Zhang, I am just a businessman. I have never cared about politics. As long as there is a profitable business, I will not give up easily. As long as the price is right, let alone food, even weapons and horses. Getting into Anyuan is just to see if someone can afford the price. As for the ban that Master Zhang said, I think Master Zhang may have misunderstood. My lord's army, they are just guest vassals in Terok. If there is a ban, it should be issued by the principal's internal affairs department. In short, I have never seen a ban from the interior department, so my business must be done accordingly. As for the method of entering Anyuan, it is a commercial secret, please forgive me for not letting it out." Pi Hongkui pretended to be a little drunk, and gave the other party a somewhat impolite look, with a slightly unhappy look on his face.
Zhang Zhentian's heart moved. He had heard that some officials and nobles in the Czech Republic were not at peace with Li Wufeng, especially the so-called engagement between Li Wufeng and Princess Anne was an alliance under the city. The ban does not seem to have much restraint on some powerful people in the Czech Republic, but I can use this relationship to ease the food pressure in the territory. If I can build a stable transportation channel on the Czech Republic, Although it pays a little more money, it is worth it.
"Hehe, I made a mistake. The Principality of Terok is originally an independent sovereign country. Outsiders should not and cannot criticize your country's internal affairs and foreign affairs. Influenced by power." Zhang Zhentian apologized with a smile while observing the expression of the other party.
Pi Hongkui performed very well, and his slightly drunk face still maintained a shrewd look, "Hehe, Mr. Zhang, business is business, please don't get involved in politics. Mr. Li Wufeng's army is for our Grand Duke Alan." Invited to help us resist the Kamanian invasion, they should not interfere with government affairs, but they did help us, otherwise Merrington may become Kamanian territory, I am a law-abiding businessman, I don't want to get involved with politics I just want to make more money honestly."
Zhang Zhentian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy behaved too blatantly, it would arouse his suspicion. However, although this guy was a little dissatisfied with Li Wufeng, he was not very strong. He was just taking some measures against Li Wufeng's army. It's just dissatisfaction, and this attitude is also in line with the attitude of these businessmen who play with the wind.
Pi Hongkui was also trying to figure out the other party's intentions. Obviously, such a large batch of food entering Anyuan surprised the other party, but at the same time, he also had some doubts. What a flaw, the army escorting the food should be in place at this time, isn't it time to do it?
Inadvertently glanced at the faces of two adjacent officers sitting diagonally across from each other, and one could see a trace of worry and worry in the other's eyes, but the behavior was quite normal. , now that we have reached this point, there is no turning back. Quietly winking at the other party, the general who received the signal stood up, raised the jug on the desk, stepped forward with a smile and said: "My lord, I have a humble job guarding the north, and I haven't had a drink with my lord for a long time. Come on, my lord, I will fill it up for you and toast you, I hope we can overcome this difficulty, and I also hope that the Holy King can return from Heshuo as soon as possible, and drive the Northwest Army and Kaman people out of Beiyuan!"
Seeing the other party mentioning the Holy King, let alone his own general, Zhang Zhentian naturally couldn't refute the other party's face. Pour Man, "Zi Man, you have worked hard to guard the north. Although there is no big movement in the north, don't slack off. Now we can't be negligent in the slightest. If there is any movement, you must report to me immediately."
"Don't worry, my lord, with me here, even a mosquito will not fly over from the north." He puffed up his chest and patted it. A strange look of excitement flashed across the officer's face, and even his voice trembled a little. Zhang Zhentian, who was just immersed in joy, didn't notice this.
After drinking the wine, Zhang Zhentian suddenly felt dizzy. Why is the power of this wine so powerful? It is not a problem to drink two or three catties by himself, but today he became dizzy before reaching two catties Dizzy, it seems that everything is a little hazy in front of my eyes? Even his head became a little dull, and he suddenly saw a few people rushing in from the door. How could he wave his hands? Several of his capable subordinates fell in the banquet room, and the blood splashed unexpectedly covered the curtain behind him. Soaked red, what's going on, could it be that I was so drunk that I had hallucinations?
Zhang Zhentian tried hard to open his eyes to see clearly, but everything was still blurred, and the screams and the sound of weapons colliding from the hall seemed to be far and near, and he couldn't hear them clearly. I don't even know if I'm in a dream. He tried hard to sit up, but only then did he realize that he had no strength in his whole body, not even the strength to speak, and watched four of his six subordinates fall in a pool of blood, and beheading them turned out to be The bodyguards and management staff who were with the grain merchant, a burst of panic gripped Zhang Zhentian's heart tightly, but no matter what he was thinking at this time, in fact, he had no strength at all, except that his eyes could move, He stared blankly at the fierce fighting outside the banquet hall.
When Ke Ziman, the general guarding the northern pass, and his distant nephew Zhang Deshan came in with **** swords, walked into the inner room of his courtyard and took out the tiger charm, even Zhang Zhentian was stupid enough to understand this. What's going on, Ke Ziman's betrayal made him sad and disappointed, but his nephew's betrayal made him unacceptable no matter what, but the scene in front of him happened in front of him, Zhang Zhentian, who was furious Perhaps it was a super-level performance under extreme grief and indignation, and a hoarse voice squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Why did you do this?"
Ke Zi's face was extremely calm: "My lord, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Our food can't even last for half a month. Brothers, what do you use to live? You can't drink the northwest wind, right? Look around Given the current situation, what else can we do? Where else can we retreat?"
Seeing his distant uncle looking at him, a trace of guilt flashed across Zhang Deshan's face, but it was only fleeting, and his consciousness was replaced by incomparable determination: "Uncle, open your eyes and look at the surroundings." World, the Taiping Sect is outdated, it has fallen behind the times, and now the villagers in the city and outside the city have no food to eat, do you have the heart to see them starve to death? Only surrender to Mr. Li It is the only way out, no matter how much you believe in the Taiping Sect, it can’t be used as food, filling your stomach is the only idea of brothers and many villagers in the village.”
Pi Hongkui, who came in from outside the house, glanced at Zhang Zhentian who was still slumped in his seat, and then said to the other two: "You two, Mr. Zhang should wait for him to stay here, no one will hurt him. We have more important things to do, and it won't be too late to come over and discuss in detail after the city settles down."
The fall of Anyuan City was not as simple as Pi Hongkui imagined. Although Ke Ziman and Zhang Deshan assisted, the Taiping Army who accepted the Tiger Talisman still wondered why their generals did not handle the handover in person. For a large-scale handover, it is reasonable to say that the Lord Fuzun should also be present, but he insisted on waiting for the general to arrive before the handover can take place.
The other party's insistence made Ke Ziman and Zhang Deshan feel a sense of urgency. Once the affairs in the Fuzun Mansion were exposed, the two thousand people of my own and Zhang Deshan's confidant team would only have 5000 people~IndoMTL.com~ I am afraid that they will be killed immediately. The confidants of the more than 20,000 palace lords in the city were chopped into meat sauce, but they were unable to take over the defense of the city gate. The army of the Nanjie Locke Army, which had already arrived not far outside the city, could not conquer Anyuan City in a short time. will change.
Zhang Deshan, who suddenly changed his face, didn't even say a word, he directly beheaded the deputy general on the spot. Seeing the nephew of the Fu Zun Lord suddenly turned his face and killed him, the other generals were stunned for a while. Zhang Deshan with a solemn face announced the execution decision because the other party blatantly disobeyed the decree and attempted treason. Under Zhang Deshan's iron fist, the defense of the north gate was immediately handed over to Zhang Deshan's department. The divisions swarmed in with a tidy pace, roaring, and immediately launched a fierce street battle with the Taiping Army who had just woken up.
The Taiping Army, which had lost its main general, and some troops who had already surrendered were restrained and enticed to persuade them to surrender. They were soon divided into several divisions. In order to keep fighting until it is completely wiped out.
The intensity of the battle annoyed Wei Chibin, the commander of the Second Division. He did not expect that such an unusual raid would turn into a hand-to-hand street fight. However, the courage and tenacity shown by this Taiping Army still caused the Second Division to suffer a lot. The battle lasted from noon until the early morning of the next day, when the Second Division, with the cooperation of the surrendered Taiping Army in the city, completely wiped out the stubbornly resisting Taiping Army. Fielding, the commander of the Northwest War Zone, also visited Anyuan in person that day and night to settle the situation in Anyuan. At the same time, he contacted the Northwest Army stationed in Pinglu, preparing to jointly destroy the more than 20,000 Taiping troops stationed in the east and the Kuimen stationed in the west. Ten thousand Taiping troops in the valley.
