Because he knows that once he tells the truth, he will have no use value! So Li Thief may cut him? So he pretended not to know and said, "I really don't know this!" This matter is under the command and management of my brother and Xingdu, how can I, the deputy chief soldier of Yang Hewei, know the power of the soldiers and horses of Datong Mansion! ”

It was such a sentence but let the Dashun Rite Department Shangshu hear the meaning, he smiled, quickly poured a full wine glass and toasted a glass of wine, pointing to himself and said, "Since the uprising of His Majesty the Emperor Dashun, it has always been the slogan of avoiding taxes, not paying food, and collecting talents to fight the world. ”

Mingyang and the deputy general soldier of Wei, who was spoken in the center, began to weigh his own weight, and the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department was also ready to work harder when he saw this, and he tried hard to persuade him, "At present, His Majesty the Emperor Dashun has sent 500,000 troops to the north to invade Datong Mansion, plus the commander of Shanxi Xingdu is dead, and the four guards of Datong are uncontrolled, as long as our army sends troops to attack within half a day, it will definitely break the city, and your brother is the general soldier of Shanxi Town, who has just taken over the affairs, and is almost not the opponent of our army!" After all, His Majesty Emperor Dashun is still merciful and can't bear to hurt your brother! After all, we're all a family now. ”

Watching the shameless traitorous official persuade himself like this, he knew in his heart that maybe this was the last time he persuaded him? And with my brother's current rights, I really can't mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Datong Mansion at all, if I wait for the governor of Xuanda to move, I'm afraid that Datong Mansion has already been breached! In order to protect them and the glory and wealth of the rest of his life, Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and decided to rebel against the Ming Empire! He put down his identity and said to the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department: "Jiang Xuan, everything I wish to listen to the Lord of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Seeing that he was finally moved by his own words, the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department was very happy, and explained to him on the spot the military deployment and strategic risks in the Datong Prefecture area, and asked him to write a letter to his brother Ming Datong General Army: Jiang Pin, persuading him to surrender Dashun together and enjoy the high-ranking officials.

In Jiang Xuan's statement, the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department learned that the Xuanda region had also been hit by the plague, and the Xuanda chariot battalion and cavalry had not fought for three years, and many generals were reported to be vacancies, so the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced! If it really fights, it will be the strength of a few guards, and it will be able to solve the problem in three days at most.

After the letter was written, the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department sent a herald, dressed as ordinary people, and quickly whipped up, and went north to Huairen County to send the envelope into the city of Xingdu, Shanxi.

The next day, when the general soldiers of Ming Datong were about to go out to Datong Town to draw troops and horses, they accidentally saw an arrow inserted in the pillar in front of the Dusi Mansion? Frightened, the accompanying soldiers immediately pulled out their sabers to warn them, driven by curiosity, the general soldiers of Ming Datong hurriedly walked to the pillar and took down the letter and opened it, and found that it was actually a handwritten letter written by his younger brother (Mingyang and Deputy General Soldier of Wei: Jiang Xuan), but the content was that he led the soldiers and horses in Datong Mansion to surrender to the Liukou?

That's a novelty! He thought about it carefully, how could his younger brother surrender to the rogue for no reason when he was still a bloody man before he was captured? must have been beaten into a trick and couldn't stand it! Surrendered?

If it is really as he thinks, then if he resists, the chances of winning are not very good! If you don't resist, His Royal Highness the Acting Prince will not be able to get along with the Governor Wei and the Governor Xuanda! Moreover, the garrisons of Datong Siwei and Yunchuan Wei, Yulin Wei, Weiyuan Wei, Pingyuwei, Andong Zhongtun Wei, Jingping Shouyu Qianhu and other places basically did not obey his orders, which also made him in a dilemma!

When the soldier next to him saw that he was hesitant to look at the letter, a treacherous soldier leaned over and asked, "Lord Commander, what are you worried about?" The general soldier of Ming Datong, who was taken aback, hurriedly put away the letter and replied, "It's nothing!" ”

But the soldier saw that he did not look right, so he continued to ask, "Isn't this letter?" ”

The general soldier of Ming Datong immediately looked at him viciously, and then continued to walk towards Datong Town, but when he just came out of the market, he saw a soldier riding a horse oncoming and asked, "The one in front is the general soldier of Datong?" ”

The general soldier of Ming Datong on the opposite side nodded and said, "Could it be that the governor has a secret order?" The soldiers hurriedly dismounted and ran over to inform the governor of Xuanda of the order to send troops, and asked him to immediately lead the army of Datong Prefecture to the south, and be sure to intercept the Liukou in Andong Zhongtunwei.

However, at this moment, in the face of the urging order and the persuasion letter from his younger brother, it really made the general soldiers of Ming Datong in a dilemma! He analyzed the stakes, and thought that the chances of sending troops to win were not big but they suffered heavy losses, relatively speaking, if they surrendered to the Liukou, on the one hand, he was a general soldier in the town, and he should be able to get special care from the Liukou with heavy troops, on the other hand, after all, his younger brother was also in the hands of the Liukou, and if he did not surrender, he might be killed by the Liukou, so the Ming Datong General Soldier pretended to agree to send troops.

In order to successfully implement the plan, the general army of Ming Datong first sent troops to guard near the Acting Prince's Mansion, and then pretended to summon the generals of the nearby guard to come to the Dusi Mansion to discuss the deployment of the battle.

This move alarmed the governor of Ming Datong in the barracks, and he felt that something was wrong when he saw the generals of each battalion walking towards the capital mansion? One of the generals also stepped forward to pay homage and said, "The last general has seen the governor, and I will go to the capital to discuss the situation under the order of the commander-in-chief. ”

As soon as the words fell, the governor of Datong guessed; Isn't that right? On weekdays, this Jiang general soldier is against sending troops and does not move, but it is really rare to take the initiative to ask the generals to go and discuss the military! So he changed into an official uniform and prepared to join in the fun.

At this moment, the troops of the Dashun Emperor's Central Army, which marched to Mayi County, were walking on an open hillside, and the generals were very energetic and riding forward, and the soldiers of the Shun Army were also carrying the banner of the Black Tiger and striding forward.

I saw a soldier in the distance, hurriedly riding over, dismounted and ran twenty steps on foot, came to the front of the royal car, half squatting, and held a letter in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, our army has just received a letter from Datong Mansion, and the small one does not dare to be careless, and hereby sends it urgently, and please take a look at it." ”

As soon as you hear a letter from Datongfu? Emperor Dashun thought to himself; I'm afraid it's probably Jiang Zongbing's reply? He waved his hand and asked the soldiers in front of the royal car to hand the letter to him to see, and after opening the letter, he saw a line of beautiful handwriting that read: (I am willing to surrender, but ask for reuse, do not kill my brother, be grateful, and solicit all the generals to sign the office, and surrender it to the city...). From the letter, it can be seen that the general army of Ming Datong wanted to surrender to Dashun.

However, for the sake of safety, Emperor Dashun deliberately asked Dashun Ruhou to lead 10,000 cavalry to the west to occupy Yunchuan Wei, Wei Yuanwei, Pingyuwei, Yulin Wei and other areas guarded by no generals, and sent the general of the right battalion of Dashun and the general of Dashun Zuo Guoyi to besiege the four guards of Datong, and the governor of Dashun led his troops from Andong Zhongtunwei to the north into the area of Datong Town to outflank the back road.

The general soldiers of Ming Datong, who were wandering back and forth in the Dusi Mansion here, seemed a little anxious! Is he worried that things will be revealed? Are you worried that the rogue army will arrive on time according to the time invited in the letter? When he was worried, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to go out of the city to check the situation.

Ming Datong guerrillas: Wen Dingqiu, and Ming Datong guard: Wang Chuanjun, who came to wait here on the main gate of the city, accosted each other and said, "Wang Garrison, you said that this general soldier asked me to wait here to check the generals of the Quartet, what do you want?" The commander of the line has never asked me to wait like this, and he is? ”

Why did the Ming Datong garrison say, "I don't know about this?" Maybe the chief soldier has his thoughts, right? Since he took over the affairs of the Metropolitan Mansion, it seems that the whole person has changed? Behave very differently than before. ”

At this time, from the west came six guards and a thousand households of the Ming army, the soldiers in front of them held high the Vermilion Bird Flag and the "High Banner" fluttering in the wind, it was very mighty and domineering, the first to come to the city was the Ming Datong Left Guard Commander and Ming Yunchuan Wei Commander Minister: Wu Sanyao, they rode in front of them with arrogant eyes to look at the gate of Shanxi Xingdu Division, which was approaching step by step, and began to say, "I don't know what kind of famous this Jiang Zongbing is doing?" If it weren't for the face of the previous commander of the capital, Lao Tzu wouldn't have taken him seriously at all, not to mention a false rank of the chief soldier of the town, even if he succeeded to the second rank of the "commander of the capital", he would be a newcomer, and the governor of Xuanda would take him seriously. The rest of the generals on the side all looked up to the sky and laughed at them.

Soon the generals came to the city and lined up to enter the city in turn, and it happened that the governor of Ming Datong saw this batch of arriving generals, and he thought that all the troops gathered in the capital would make the local station empty? Suddenly, he noticed that one of the generals who had entered the city seemed to be very familiar? Like somewhere you've seen it?

Before he could react, General Ming Datong walked over from the street and saluted: "The last general, see the generals, I have been instructed by the commander-in-chief that the troops of the local guards need to be stationed outside the city, and the generals can only enter the office to discuss matters." ”

When the generals heard this, they were immediately a little angry, and Ming Datong avant-garde commander Tongzhi: Lu Supan, Ming Ping, Wei Zhenfu: Lu Zhenfei, Ming Wei Yuanwei General: Long Huajun, and other generals stepped forward and retorted, "What kind of rules are this?" The commander of Xingdu never asked me to wait like this when he was in power, why did Jiang Zongbing put on such a big official authority when he took office? After speaking, all the generals were ready to rub their fists and palms.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Governor Ming Datong stepped forward at a critical moment, stepped forward to stop him, and said, "Everyone, please listen to me, although this Jiang Zongbing's approach is not very reliable, but maybe there is a reason for him?" Here, Ben Fu will compensate you for him, please forgive me! Seeing that the governor was speaking kindly, the generals offered him a favor and promised to hand over his saber, and walked along the street in turn to the front of the yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

In a group of horseback riders standing in front of the city gate, several men whispered to the handsome man next to him, "His Royal Highness the County King, this governor is actually quite good, it seems that we really blamed him before!" Having said that, the king of Ming Yongqing still has a good face, he didn't want to show any apologies in front of the honor guards, and still walked towards the front with his head held high and riding a war horse.
