Chapter 339: A Desperate Shot
Chapter 339: Qianjunyi
Soon, a letter of begging written by Tie Xuan himself and signed by various high-ranking officials was shot down from the city and fell into the Yan military camp.
The Yan army's attack, which was supposed to rise again in the early morning, stopped.
After last night's offensive propaganda, Zhu Di expected that the morale of the army in the city would inevitably be weakened, and under the threat of bursting the embankment and flooding the city, the resistance of the defenders would be greatly weakened. Early in the morning, he reorganized his army to fight, preparing for a battle and conquering Jinan, Dun expected, the city actually shot a surrender book, Zhu Di did not expect that the power of this desperate plan was too much, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered to stop the siege, waiting for the city to send a messenger to surrender.
When he first arrived, the east gate of Jinan was opened, and a group of envoys came out.
The soldiers who had already received the orders of the King of Yan immediately welcomed them into the tent of the Chinese army of the King of Yan, and the Yan army sat in the center, and the generals wore helmets and armor, standing majestically on both sides.
As soon as he saw the bearded man sitting on the top with thick eyebrows like a halberd, Yi Jiayi knelt on the ground with a "porphy" and said loudly: "Yi Jiayi, the Shandong Mansion's criminal affairs, was ordered by General Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan to participate in politics, and led the Jinan Mansion to surrender the army and the people, and meet His Royal Highness King Yan!" β
Yi Jiayi knelt down, and the two accompanying officials behind him also knelt down, but the older people who were selected were panicked when they saw such a majestic position in the army, and when the three officials all bowed down, they suddenly rushed to kneel down, but they were timid and only hid behind.
If you want to talk about Tie Xuan, you can be scheming, among these people, no matter the officials and the people, they don't know the truth about the proposal, don't say that Zhu Di and the generals have been watching their behavior and expressions coldly since they came in, even if they are all hot-eyed, they don't want to see half a flaw in these people's demeanor.
Zhu Di said coldly: "You and others resisted the king's soldiers and horses, and held on to this Jinan city for more than two months, and now ...... Are you finally willing to surrender? β
Yi Jiayi only said that he would follow King Yan from now on, anyway, there were more civil and military officials who returned to King Yan first, and he didn't feel much ashamed, and as far as he knew, anyone who surrendered to King Yan was reused by King Yan as his own people, and he couldn't treat himself badly, if you want to say that the officials in Jinan City, there are dozens of high-ranking officials, and he is really not qualified to show his face in front of King Yan, and now he finally has this opportunity to leave an impression on King Yan, so he naturally cheers up.
Hearing this, he hurriedly kowtowed and asked, "Your Highness forgives your sins." According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king has the right to send troops to clean up the monarch's side when he tampered with the ancestral system in the court, which is the imperial rule made by Emperor Hongwu himself. Huang Zhiliu in the DPRK changed my official system, cut my kings, and rebelled, and His Royal Highness sent troops to appease, which is the cause of great righteousness.
His Royal Highness is the son of Taizu, and we are all the people of Taizu, how dare we go against the son of heaven? The lonely city of Jinan, which has endured to this day, is all because General Sheng and Tie participated in politics without knowing the mandate of heaven and vainly distinguishing loyalty to Jian, so they insisted on not understanding. Now, His Royal Highness is determined to flood the city, and the people in the city are afraid and crying when they hear it, and it is difficult for them to be themselves. Therefore, the adults left their humble rank out of the city to beg for surrender, and I hope that His Royal Highness will remember that we are the people of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the net will be open. β
Zhu Di saw that his words were sincere, not like a hypocrisy, and he just begged to surrender, he dared to agree with himself between his words, and directly accused the emperor of tampering with the ancestral system, and there was jian in the court, which was even more unlikely to be a fraudulent surrender, he couldn't help but be very happy, and hurriedly asked: "This king raised troops to appease, for the sake of my Ming Dynasty and ancestral society, since you are willing to open the city and surrender, why should this king kill again." Today, our army is Chinese and martial, and many of them have been enemies of this king, and some have made this king suffer greatly......"
The left and right generals laughed unconsciously when they heard this, some of them were defeated and surrendered, and those who had indeed made Zhu Di suffer a big loss at the beginning were a little embarrassed, Zhu Di said with a smile: "At that time, each was his master, and now he has surrendered, how can this king add to the crime, but praise him for his ability!" You don't have to worry, if Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are willing to surrender to me, this king will also reuse it. β
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is broad-minded, and with your own heart, you can guess Your Highness's intentions, ashamed, ashamed!"
Zhu Di asked with a smile: "If you want to surrender the city, when will you open the city to welcome you?" β
Yi Jiayi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the city has been held for two months, and there are many injuries to my Jingjing soldiers, both the army and the people, in fact, they are all worried in their hearts, for fear of retaliation, this Jinan City is the last place of refuge, how can you have the courage to leave easily, and ask Your Highness to leave behind the army, and lead the guards to ride into the city to show sincerity, and the soldiers and civilians in the city dare to abandon their weapons and surrender." β
Zhu Di was stunned, his smile slowly narrowed, he stared at Yi Jiayi suspiciously, and said coldly: "Begging to surrender and not coming out to welcome, how can there be such a reason since ancient times?" You guys...... Do you have to cheat and fail? β
"Your Highness only needs to give an order, Jinan will become a country, how dare the ministers deceive Your Highness again, because of the fear in their hearts, they dare not come out to greet it!"
Yi Jiayi knocked again and again: "Your Highness should know that Jinan City is embarrassed, there is a lack of soldiers and horses, and civilians are also transferred to the city. How can there be a reason for deceit, but it is because of fear! As he spoke, he gave Zhu Di, the king of Yan, a look.
Zhu Di's heart moved, and he waved his hand and said: "Since this is the case, you will retreat, and King Rong will discuss with the generals." β
Yi Jiayi and others were taken out, and immediately, all the generals also came out, each with one person, and interrogated them separately, even bluffing and deceiving, wanting to see if they had the intention of deceiving, and Yi Jiayi was brought to Zhu Di again.
"Yi Jiayi, do you still have any unspeakable addiction that you want to tell this king?"
"Yes, yes, the minister still has something to say, and I want to report it to His Highness."
It turned out that when Yi Jiayi accepted the responsibility of the envoy, he heard that Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others only set up incense cases in the city, and did not go out of the city, and asked King Yan not to let the army enter the city first, but to enter the city first, so he felt that it was a little unreasonable, and he also asked the reason, and at this time, he just presented Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's answers.
Zhu Di was full of doubts, and after listening to Yi Jiayi's answer, he couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others also know that their conditions are too unsatisfactory, and it is not easy to trick King Yan into the city, at least, you are unwilling to go out of the city, as long as he sends the army into the city first and takes over the city, you can't help him. I have to let King Yan accept the surrender, and I have to trick King Yan into grabbing the city, how can I do it without some sufficient reasons.
Their reason is comparable to King Ning's set of "double reed schemes" that were held hostage in Daning: "If the army and people defending the city do not come out, please ask Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to wave his army into the city and spread it, this city was broken by the king of Yan's battle, they were not captured by the enemy, and they did not surrender on their own initiative." As for inviting King Yan to go in front, and the soldiers will go behind, it is because of the two months of hard fighting, too many people have died inside and outside the city, lest the soldiers enter the city first and kill to vent their anger.
"These officials, who can hold on to the lonely city for more than two months, and have a stalemate with this king, can be regarded as the world's big husbands, but when it comes to begging, they are so twisted and twisted, and the manly husband should act coolly and profitably, why do you have to do this thing of covering your ears and stealing the bell? It seems that they are just trying to leave a way out for themselves. β
Zhu Di originally admired their ability to stay in the lonely city for more than two months, but because of this, he couldn't help but be a little contemptuous.
Waving his hand to push back Yi Jiayi, Zhu Neng immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, don't listen to what he said about smallpox 1uan falling, surrender since ancient times, An You's surrender army does not go out of the city, but the surrendered army master will be the first to enter the city?" His Royal Highness has a body of ten thousand gold, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, and now the people in the city are uneasy, and we can beat it hard, and Your Highness cannot take risks. β
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "This king looks at his face, and sees that his words do not seem to be fake, this reason is also reasonable, there are too ......few people in the world who are optimistic about this king, there are too few people, although it is said that at this moment to attack, it can also break the city, but this king has accepted the surrender, and then interrupted the surrender, and attacked the city, then the soldiers and civilians in the city expected that there would be no way to retreat, and they would inevitably defend to the death, and our army suffered heavy casualties." If he can take this city without using his sword, how can this king not take the risk? It is difficult to come from self-appeasement, when will this king not be in danger, and what is this? β
Zhu Neng, Zhang YΓΉ and others were still not at ease, Zhu Di thought about it, so he asked someone to find the Baoding prefect Luo Tong and the Shandong Provincial officials who surrendered after breaking Dezhou, and asked Sheng Yong and Zhu Di about the situation, and the officials who were familiar with the two commented: Sheng Yong is brave and resolute, and he is a military general who likes to go straight; Tie Xuan is upright, morally noble, and a gentleman who is upright and upright.
Immediately afterwards, the personnel responsible for interrogating the soldiers and civilians who were begging to surrender reported one after another, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan announced the surrender in public, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all overjoyed, judging from the situation of the interrogation, there was no slightest weirdness, if it was said that those officials were deliberately fake, but the representatives of the people who could not be faked at all in their skins may not have such scheming city government, and their answers were the same.
Hearing this, Zhu Di became even more determined to personally preside over the surrender in order to show his sincerity in accepting the surrender. Zhu Neng, Zhang YΓΉ and others had no choice but to ask King Yan to put on three layers of leather armor and cover the vassal king's python clothes, so that he was allowed to ride the war horse, and then carefully instructed the guards around Zhu Di to tell them to be vigilant at all times, in case of accidents, once there is an ambush in the city, immediately cover the return of His Highness.
Preparing here, Yi Jiayi and the others, who got the reply over there, happily went back to the city to report the news.
Xia Xun was so anxious that his palms were sweating in the city, the sun was scorching on his head, and his heart seemed to be frying in boiling oil, which was even more difficult than the scorching sun. Except for a few officials such as Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, as well as some of the henchmen of the overseer team, I am afraid that he is the only one who knows that there is fraud in it. Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, and it doesn't taste good.
Seeing the envoys entering the Yan camp, and watching them rush back, in the end, the army of the king of Yan moved, Zhu Di was dressed in a vassal python robe, straddled the horse, and came under the arch guard of the sixteen pro-troops in front and behind, and the army of Hao Dangdang actually followed him in a neat line, Xia Xun was so anxious that he almost fainted.
He couldn't believe the so-called miracle, if it weren't for him, King Yan would have blown up the Mongols to pieces in his sleep in the Yan Wangfu in Beiping, and the three tigers of the Yan family would not be able to leave Jinling City, if he wanted to let King Yan survive, I am afraid that only if he stepped forward. But he was mixed in with the crowd in charge of welcoming in the city, crowded, and the crowd cheered, he couldn't pass if he wanted to squeeze forward, how to warn King Yan.
"Climb up the wall and jump down to warn you of death? Even if my brother is crazy, maybe he will have to be squeezed down and fall to death, and he will die in vain! What to do? What to do? β
King Yan's team was getting closer and closer, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Xia Xun's forehead one by one......
One in one! How can you turn the tide? Now we are fifth, and the gap between us and the third is only fifteen votes, can we pass? Guan Guan's arms are sore, and the words on the armrests of the chair are stacked, but he is not unashamed, friends, can he still fight?
