Chapter 13 Deception out of the city

Liu Bao was surrounded by civil and military officials who followed him, and the army was following him, with great majesticity.

On the other hand, Liang Teng's face looked extremely ugly, and he was surrounded by members of the Liang family. He met near the inner city with thousands of Liang's troops.

Liu Bao's eyes were hard to hide his joy, and he smiled at the same time when he looked at Zhao Tong.

When the two armies met, the generals of both sides stepped forward and stopped at close range.

"My nephew, tiger talisman!" Liu Bao had no concealment of the greed for the Liang family army and directly stretched out his right hand.

"I said, leave the city for delivery!" Liang Teng turned around and looked at the Liang family who seemed to be indebted and gritted his teeth.

This scene fell into the eyes of Liu Bao and his subordinates, and it was very pleasant.

"Since that's the case, we will leave the city!" As long as we get the tiger talisman, the main force of the entire Hua County is in his hands. Who can resist at that time? Liu Bao will turn the horse's head when he pulls the reins.

"Let's wait!" Liang Teng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Bao's arm tightly. The force was so strong that the other party frowned slightly.

"What?" If it were normal, Liu Bao would have gotten angry on the spot for such impolite behavior. Now he is in a good mood, so he smiles.

Liang Teng didn't say anything, just stared at Liu Bao, and refused to let go of his hand.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Tong rode over and said, "Universal Liang, if you miss the opportunity to send troops and miss a great opportunity, how can you avenge the humiliation of the Duke of the Mansion? The court blamed the court, but the Duke of the Mansion could not afford it. The Cavalry Commander also saved the situation for the Duke of the Mansion..."

"Nephew, are you worried about your uncle?" Liu Bao smiled and reached out, prying Liang Teng's fingers hard, "Get out of the city to deliver!"

"Get out of the city!" Zhao Tong glanced at Liang Teng proudly and ordered loudly.

Headed by Liu Bao, his subordinates and troops marched towards the city gate.

When Liu Bao found that Liang Teng was not moving, he turned around and said, "Nephew, do you not want to suppress the thieves?"

Liang Teng gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Bao. Under his proud look, he said in a deep voice: "Uncle leads troops out of the city first, and nephew will arrive later!"

"Let's go!" Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the chief clerk Liang Jun raised his hand, and the civil and military officials in the Liang family led their own troops forward, and ignored Liang Teng.

This scene fell into Liu Bao and Zhao Tong's eyes, making him feel even more happy.

Although he looks down on the Liang family's unrestrained appearance, it is a different matter if it is beneficial to him.

These civil and military officials of the Liang family led at least half of the army, and the remaining soldiers following Liang Teng were in a panic.

Liu Bao led the team out of the city gate first, turned around and waited proudly.

Liang Teng was dejected and gradually left the city gate surrounded by Liang family officials such as Liang Jun, literary priest Liang Zhi, Gongcao clerk Liang Hong.

Liu Bao was waiting in line, watching the Liang family team leave the city, and was inexplicably excited.

However, when Liang Teng and the Liang family officials walked to the moat suspension bridge, they suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Teng raised his hand and waved it back: "Go back to the city!"

Headed by him, all the civil and military officials of the Liang family turned their horses and returned to the city before Liu Bao and his subordinates reacted.

"What's going on?" Liu Bao looked confused.

Zhao Tong was also stunned, and then his face changed: "Lord, Liang Teng is using a fraud!"

When Liu Bao heard this, he realized that when he saw the Liang general retreating to the city, the suspension bridge was pulled up, he was furious: "Liang Teng, actually bullied me? Since I have broken up, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Liu Bao!" After a while, Liang Teng appeared above the city wall, surrounded by the Liang family's civil and military officials, shouting loudly from a high position, "The Lord of the Mansion is sick, you want to take the opportunity to seize power, how can you hide it from me? It's just that you are so obsessed with power, but I don't know that my Liang family is the most united, how can you turn against me?"

"Liu Bao, if you want to seize Hua County, you are not qualified yet!" Chief Librarian Liang Jun laughed, "Don't you want to suppress the thieves? Lead your troops to fight Pang Lishan!"

Liu Bao's face turned white and red, and it was like smoke from his orifices.

I was really confused by the desire for power before. Now I think about how could the Liang family turn against each other so easily, and it is even more impossible to hand over all the military horses. I turned my head and stared at Zhao Tong, and the latter's mouth twitched: "Lord, Liang Teng is too bullying! Since I have broken up, I will capture the city and kill all the Liang family, and write to the court to recommend it to the bandits of Pang Li to replace the position of prefect!"

There is really no other choice now, and Liu Bao is really not timid when it comes to war.

After all, Liang Chun fell ill, and this attack on Pang Lishan also greatly damaged the Liang family's vitality. More than half of the more than 10,000 troops were damaged, and only about 4,000 escaped, and his morale was low. Even if the troops in the city were added, they might not be able to defend it.

He raised his arms and shouted: "All the soldiers obey orders! Break through the city gate and kill—!"

"Kill—!!" In an instant, gongs and drums sounded, and the war horses galloped, killing back in a mighty manner.

"Shoot the arrow!" Liang Teng gave the order, and the arrow fell like rain in an instant. The rolling stones prepared in advance, the woods and the gold juice fell down crazily.

Liu Bao's army rushed back three times in a row, but they were all forcibly beaten back.

"Liang Tengshuzi, it seems that he was prepared!" Liu Bao was very angry.

"Lord!" Zhao Tong approached, "Since that's the case, our army will go to the south first."

"Going south?" Liu Bao turned around in confusion.

"The food and grass are still in the city, so it is not conducive to long-term battle!" Zhao Tong replied, "Just kill to Nanzheng. The county is full of Liang family industries and clan relatives..."

A fierce light flashed in Liu Bao's eyes: "I'll follow your words!"

Immediately ordered the entire army to turn around and march towards the southern road outside the city.

But suddenly there were countless horse-resisting fences ahead, Liang Kai and Liang Yun led their troops to guard the horses and fired bows and arrows at the same time.

Liu Bao led his troops to charge, and there were traps on the road. Several deputy generals unfortunately fell into the pit. They wanted to save people, but they could not get close to them under the rain of arrows.

The main roads were blocked and the plan to go to Nanzheng County was broken.

Facing the troops blocking the road, Liu Bao was ready to go into battle.

At this time, Zhao came to dissuade him: "Lord, if our army is entangled here, it is difficult to guarantee that Liang Teng will not lead his troops out of the city and attack him from front and back! It is better to recruit troops and horses to prepare food first in Ju County, and then spread rumors that the Liang family rebelled against the court and wanted to harm the lord. At that time, the legitimate attack on Hua County will lead to the death of the Liang family!"

Liu Bao had no idea at this moment, but he was unwilling to accept it: "I can't swallow this!"

"Lord, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

"Retreat!" Liu Bao could still distinguish the priorities. The army was expendable outside. He was deceived by Liang Teng. Of course, the grain transport team was intercepted by the Liang family and could not leave the city. Without food and grass, he could not fight. He was also afraid that the Liang family would encircle the front and back. Although he might not lose, he would definitely be in trouble in the end.

Liu Bao's army did not attack and retreated without force, and led troops to guard Liang Kai on the road. Liang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact he was sweating all over.

If the opponent really wants to attack, they are not opponents at all.

Mr. Ning is still very good, so Liu Bao is expected to dare not attack.

On the walls of Huajun, Liang Teng and other civil and military officials of the Liang family were also frightened and very scared.

If Liu Bao attacks the southern avenue desperately, it will be over! They dare not really leave the city and confront Liu Bao's army head-on.

After all, Liu Bao had great military achievements and his ability to fight was not weaker than that of the prefect Liang Chun. Even if his troops were not as strong as the Liang family, it would be a great threat to the Liang family, which was severely injured after the battle.

Furthermore, if the bandits of Pang Lishan really want to come here, wouldn’t it be a good thief army if they fight each other and lose both sides?

But Liu Baozhen wanted to charge, Liang Kai and Liang Yun could not resist it at all. If there was no rescue, Nanzheng County would be over. The clan members and countless industries in the Liang family were suffering, and the losses were incalculable.

This is a big gamble. Fortunately, I didn’t lose the bet, but everyone was still scared.

Seeing Liu Bao's army retreat, turning away from the city and moving towards Ju County, the Liang family's civil and military officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Including Liang Teng himself, his heart has been hanging in his throat and finally let go of it at this moment.

"Ju County Magistrate and Liu Baoyou are old. What should I do if I help him recruit soldiers, prepare military rations, and turn around to attack Hua County?" Liang Jun turned his head and asked softly.

Liang Teng looked at Liu Baojun's movement in the distance, but was not sure: "Brother Ning judged that the bandits of Pang Lishan would definitely lead their troops down the mountain today to attack the city. Liu Bao's army went to Ju County and would meet the bandits on the way. At that time, whether the bandits and Liu Baojun won, we can benefit!"

"The plan is too dangerous, and the consequences are unimaginable if there is a slight mistake!" Liang Jun said, "But why does an outsider trust him so much?"

"At least so far, Brother Ning's judgment is correct!" Liang Teng replied.

"If the bandits of Pang Lishan did not go down the mountain today, or if they did not meet Liu Bao's army on the way, they attacked Hua County directly. Liu Bao went to Ju County to recuperate and make a comeback, what should I do?"

"Now my father is ill in bed, we can't think of any other way, so we can only gamble! We won the bet and won Liu Bao, eliminate the big troubles of the heart, and also block the bandits of Pang Lishan. If we lose the bet, we will stick to Huajun and ask for help from the surrounding cities!"

"At least Liu Bao was driven out of the city, and there was no worries in a short period of time!" Liang Zhi came over, "I just hope that the lord will recover as soon as possible. Such a dangerous plan is not the right way in the end."

The civil and military officials around him nodded in agreement. When Liang Teng discussed with everyone in the early morning, everyone was actually very worried. If Liu Bao accidentally saw it, the ending would be different. If the other party launched an act in the city, with the current morale of the Liang family soldiers, they might not be able to withstand it.

Even if the other party has been deceived outside the city and is far away from the city, it will be a disaster and will make a comeback sooner or later.

It was really like the plan. Liu Bao and Pang Lishan bandits collided, and they fought each other in a life-and-death battle, both of them were injured.

They were not worried that Liu Bao would surrender to the bandits. Although he was against Liang Chun, surrendering to the bandits would never happen to Liu Bao, not to mention that he had a large army in his hands and had a backbone in Juxian.

Everyone in Huajun City was worried, and they didn’t know if it would be smooth. Ning Ze was a young man of unknown origin after all, and it was very difficult to cooperate with Liang Teng to gamble!

"Everyone, no matter what, we will act according to the plan!" Liang Teng looked around everyone, "At present, we can only give it a try and wait for the result. If it doesn't work, Liu Bao was driven away and the troubles in Hua County have been eliminated, which is a good thing!"
