Zhang Yuanbei sent people out of the city several times to ask for help, but to no avail. Seeing that he could not break out of the encirclement, Lian Ming, a young general in the army, volunteered to leave the city to ask for help.
Lian Ming, named Ju Zhen, is a native of Qi County and is just a captain of Yingyang School. In the past, when he was in the army, he was not very outstanding in terms of his kung fu and abilities. Zhang Yuanbei was worried that Lian Ming might not be able to break out and would lose his life, so he did not agree.
Lian Ming, however, was bold and insisted on asking for the job, saying, "In the past, when I volunteered, I stood out. This was not because I had no talent, but because I was not in the bag. Today, Lian Ming asked for the job because he wanted to imitate his ancestors and stand out with his sharpness." .If he cannot succeed, please behead him."
Zhang Yuanbei smiled and said: "If you can't break out, I'm afraid you will die in the battle, so why bother beheading you." But he was moved by Lian Ming's courage and felt strong in his heart.
Seeing that there was no way out, and Lian Ming asked for help again and again, Zhang Yuanbei had no choice but to become a living doctor. So Zhang Yuanbei wrote a letter in his own hand, stamped with his father's seal, and gave it to Lian Ming, asking him to go north to ask for help.
Lian Mingnai collected the letter personally. At night, he took a dozen people with him, opened the city gate overnight, and looked north.
Wang Bo was worried that someone would break through the siege and had already surrounded Licheng. As soon as Lian Ming and others left the city, they were discovered by the bandits. Soon, a group of people came to kill Lian Ming and others.
At this time, he didn¡¯t even run when he saw someone coming. Instead, he dismounted and waited. When he saw the traitor general, Lian Ming asked to surrender and asked to see Wang Bo.
Everyone in Wang Bo's army could not fight, so he had to disarm everyone and take Lian Ming to the central army.
When Lian Ming met Wang Bo, he bluntly said, "He is just a junior general in the army. The city is short of food and cannot be defended. He did not want to be buried with Zhang Yuanbei, so he risked his own life and left the city to ask for surrender."
Wang Bo was overjoyed after hearing this. He had been fighting with the Bafeng camp for so many years, but he still didn't know the character of the other side. He had never seen a general surrender voluntarily. It seems that after Zhang Xutuo's death, the Bafeng camp was really in a bad state.
Wang Bo is a cunning man, so of course he doesn¡¯t trust Lian Ming¡¯s surrender. But if someone surrenders, he will have to buy horse bones with thousands of gold anyway. This Licheng is so tough that his teeth are about to break. Therefore, in order to lower the morale of the city and reduce the pressure to break the city, Wang Bo will go to Licheng City early tomorrow morning to persuade him to surrender.
Lian Ming felt coy for a while, then quickly agreed.
On the second day, Wang Bo brought Lian Ming to the city.
Tang Wanyi, the guard at the top of the city, thought that Lian Ming had been captured when he saw this, and hurriedly reported the news to Zhang Yuanbei.
Wang Bo signaled Lian Ming to come forward. Lian Ming struggled for a moment and shouted: "Brothers, I am Lian Ming. We have no food and grass in Licheng and no reinforcements outside, so why not surrender!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw Lian Ming persuading him to surrender.
Tang Wanyi¡¯s eyes widened with anger and he cursed: ¡°Traitor!¡±
"General Tang, why don't you surrender? The ants are still alive, so why do you lead a whole city to die with them?"
Tang Wanyi was furious at this time. He drew his bow and arrow, and shot at Lian Ming. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. Although the arrow came straight towards Lian Ming, it fell softly still twenty or thirty steps away from Lian Ming.
But this also frightened Lian Ming. He grabbed the horse's belly, hugged its neck and ran away, causing the thieves around him to burst into laughter.
When Zhang Yuanbei came to the north gate, he only saw the shadow of Lian Ming fleeing.
Everyone yelled at Lian Ming, saying they had misjudged this thief. Only Zhang Yuanbei had doubts in his heart. If Lian Ming wanted to surrender to Wang Bo, he could just leave the city directly. Why would he need to go around in such a big circle.
Although Lian Ming's performance today was unsatisfactory and his embarrassing appearance was really ridiculous, Wang Bo was quite satisfied with his efforts to persuade him to surrender and basically believed in Lian Ming.
¡°Only someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death will take the initiative to surrender. If he is really bold and careful, he should doubt the identity of the other party.
In order to let Lian Ming set an example, Wang Bo ordered Lian Ming to be made a general. However, in Wang Bo's army, there are not a hundred but eighty generals. Lian Ming surrendered this time and did not bring any subordinates. Wang Bo would not allocate troops to him, so Lian Ming, the general, was nothing. I got a name, it just sounds nice, not of much use.
Lian Ming is self-aware, and when he sees people nodding and bowing, they are flattering and not at all self-aware of a general, which makes everyone quite satisfied.
Wang Bo soon forgot about Lian Ming. Who would care about such an incompetent person.
Lian Ming¡¯s tent was initially located at the back of the center of the camp, but later he changed it with others and moved it to the corner of the camp.
Lian Ming said he didn¡¯t want to make people jealous, so others took him seriously.
This time, even Ming stayed in the tent every day and never came out. Later, people even forgot about this little transparency.
?That night, Wang Bo planned to take advantage of the chaos to steal the city, but was discovered by the defenders in the city, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Lian Ming took advantage of the battle between the two sides to sneak into the camp secretly and headed northwest.
It turns out that Lian Ming knew that with his own bravery, it was impossible to break out. Instead of losing his life in vain, it would be better to pretend to surrender to Wang Bo and gain the other party's trust. Wait until the thieves relax their guard and then take the opportunity to escape.
Tonight, when the two sides were fighting, Lian Ming changed his clothes and asked his subordinates to find a dead body that looked similar to him. After putting on his own clothes, he painted a painted face and pretended to be himself. Lian Ming himself, along with several of his subordinates, changed He took off his clothes and ran as fast as he could. Such a plan to hide everything from the outside will not allow Wang Bo to discover his true intentions.
The night was thick and the battlefield was in chaos, and no one could care about Lian Ming. Lian Ming and others then ran for dozens of miles and arrived at the edge of the Yellow River.
At this time, the Yellow River channel is wide, and the Yellow River has just thawed not long ago.
The people couldn¡¯t find the ferry for a while and didn¡¯t know how to cross the river.
Lian Ming didn¡¯t dare to wait, so he and others cut down trees, built a raft, and prepared to cross the river on the raft. Four people and four horses crowded on the small raft and began to cross the river.
The four of them each held bamboo poles and tried their best to divert water.
The Yellow River looks calm and calm, but there are countless whirlpools underneath. Not many people, not experienced fishermen, dare to cross it in a boat.
When we reached the center of the river, the current became more rapid and the raft gradually became uncontrollable.
A wave hit, and the raft spun suddenly. One horse panicked and fell into the water. Then other horses also got into trouble and accidentally knocked one person into the water.
As soon as the man fell into the water, there was no time to save him, and he was swept away by the rapid current.
There was even more chaos on the raft.
Even Ming couldn¡¯t stand still and was swept into the water. However, Lian Ming was so smart that in the critical situation, he hugged the edge of the raft and refused to let go. At this time, the other two people hurried over, desperately grabbed Lian Ming's hand, and pulled him up.
Lian Ming climbed up with all his strength. After surviving, he lay half-lying on the raft, breathing heavily and still feeling fear in his heart.
Lian Ming and others fought hard for their lives and finally crossed the Yellow River. After crossing the river, only three people and one horse were left. At this time, they were almost paralyzed from exhaustion and crawled to the shore desperately, even unable to move. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
