Chapter 575: Clever Tongue
Fan Wencheng, who was originally very frightened and was about to pull out his horse and flee for his life, saw the head of the city, Haoge had already stopped Aobai's rude behavior, so he pulled the horse's head again, stopped his horse on the bank of the moat again, and then shouted loudly to the head of the city.
"Prince Su, with all due respect, do you really think that you can really defend Shengjing City with only these three banners and horses?"
Fan Wencheng's face was pleading, and his words were full of sympathy: "Prince Su, there is a way to know the current affairs for those who are junjie, don't you really know Prince Su, how big the difference in strength is between yourself and the regent?" Prince Su, you only have the three banners of Manchukuo to serve you, and now the various forces that have taken refuge in the regent have the other Manchurian Five Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Han Army Eight Banners, with the support of the whole country and the region except for Shengjing City. Compared with these two, the gap between you and the regent, Prince Su, is only a star and a half, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between heaven and earth. If there is such a huge difference in strength when the army is pressed in the future, Fan is just worried that even if Prince Su tries his best, it will be difficult to resist the thunderous blow of the regent. ”
"You dog-in-the-Han Nikan, let your mother's fart!" Hearing Fan Wencheng say this, Hauge still didn't speak, and Ao Bai next to him was already shouting angrily: "You fucking say that we are unbearable, do you want to raise your hands and surrender as soon as possible, and obediently let the thieves like you who commit the murder of kings line up to kill them, so that you can be regarded as fulfilling your wishes?" Tell you, Lao Tzu is still fighting against the murderous Dolgon to the end, if he has the courage, although he will bring troops to attack the city, if Lao Tzu is afraid of him, it will be raised by his little wife! Lao Tzu will tell you again, don't you think, we are really isolated and helpless, our Prince Su and Pingliao King Li Xiao have long been allies, mutual assistance and mutual assistance, you want to attack my Shengjing City with the whole country's troops, but I am afraid, that Li Xiao's Tang army, will take advantage of the time when you are waiting for the troops, immediately wave your troops to attack you, and then come to explode your chrysanthemums. ”
When the thunderous shouting of Ao Bai said this, the sergeant guarding the city next to him couldn't help but laugh loudly, and Hauge heard his vulgar but funny words, and he wanted to laugh very much in his heart, but he still suppressed himself on the surface.
After Fan Wencheng heard Ao Bai's rude and aggressive words, he was not particularly angry, but smiled very reservedly, then stroked his beard and said: "Commander of the Protectors, what you said to Fan Mou is bad. Do you think that now that Prince Su has formed an alliance with the Tang army, it will be enough to resist the army of the regent? Definitely! Fan secretly thought that Prince Su's alliance with the Tang Army seemed to be a good move, but it was just a distant water that could not quench his thirst. ”
Hearing Fan Wencheng say this, Haugton frowned, and Ao Bai next to him yelled loudly: "You dog Nikan, what do you say that near water doesn't quench your thirst, I want to listen carefully to how you fart." ”
Fan Wencheng shook his head and smiled, and replied: "How ugly is the voice of the commander of the protectors, okay, now Fan Mou will come to analyze the good life of Prince Su and the commander of the protectors, please listen quietly." ”
"If there's a fart, let it go!"
"Prince Su, according to the detailed report sent in the Ming Kingdom, now the Tang army is in the Ming Dynasty, and the distance between me and the Qing Dynasty, there are two main places, one is its Shandong headquarters of soldiers and horses, and the other Tang army is located in Jintangcheng on the north road of Xuanfu Town, then, if the Tang army wants to send troops to attack our Qing Dynasty, it can only send troops and horses from these two places. So, how will the Tang army start to attack, in the following opinion, it is nothing more than attacking our Qing Dynasty by the following means. ”
Fan Wencheng paused, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was much louder: "Prince Su, the route of the Tang army's attack on our Daqing must be divided into two routes, and at the same time, troops and horses will be dispatched from the Shandong headquarters and Jintangcheng on the north road of Xuanfu Town to launch a simultaneous attack on our Daqing. Among them, the soldiers and horses of the Tang army attacking from Shandong will definitely cross the sea first and attack Jinfu Erzhou as before. The Tang army, which sent troops from Jintangcheng, attacked the Mongolian tribes in a big way in order to force the Mongolian tribes to submit, so as to cut off one of the arms of our Qing Dynasty. As for the Tang Army at Miaojiebao and Vladivostok Fort in the Outer Manchurian area, they will also frequently send troops to attack and harass our territory in order to cope with the attacks of the other two main forces. This kind of offensive method is the most likely means and method adopted by the Tang Army, Prince Su, what Fan has guessed, you should have considered it more. ”
Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Hauge's face was extremely cold, and he frowned tightly and did not speak. And Ao Bai on the side shouted angrily: "Fan Wencheng, you old dog, then I ask you, if the Tang Army attacks like this, don't you hurry up and send troops back to help?" If so, then my Shengjing pressure is self-relieved, how can I be said to be so unbearable? ”
Fan Wencheng seemed to expect him to ask such a question, and he replied with a smile: "Commander of the Protectors, Fan Mou has said it so bluntly, don't you understand?" Even if the Tang Army immediately prepares to attack our Qing Dynasty now, it will always take a while for their money, food, ordnance, and pre-war planning and deployment, right? Even if the speed of the Tang army is extraordinary, and all its moves are greatly accelerated, then it is conceivable that they are marching all the way in this harsh winter season, and their logistical pressure is huge! The Tang army attacked the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian tribes, not to mention it for the time being, take the soldiers and horses of the Tang army in Shandong as an example, after they raised grain and grass and repaired the equipment, they were going to cross the sea and go north to seize the land of Jinzhou for the first time. And here, the weather is cold, the sea is frozen, maybe when they come to the sea near Jinzhou, the sea is already frozen, they have no way to attack Jinzhou, let alone attack the interior of the Qing Dynasty, in Fan's view, if the Tang army crosses the sea to attack, the final result can only be to retreat south in disgrace. ”
Fan Wencheng took a deep breath and continued: "It can be seen that in this harsh winter season, it is extremely difficult for the Tang army to launch an attack on our Great Qing Dynasty, and on the contrary, my regent is now training soldiers and horses in the Liaoyang area as soon as possible, and as long as the siege equipment is completed, he can immediately lead his troops north and attack Shengjing City in a big way." Fan was even thinking that perhaps, when the regent's soldiers arrived at Shengjing City, Li Xiao might not have sent his troops and horses, or the soldiers and horses were still halfway, such a situation was extremely likely. And this time difference is a godsend for the regent, but for you, Prince Su, I'm afraid it's just a catastrophe, right? In this way, Prince Su, your pressure can be imagined. And as long as the regent's army is full of strength and attacks the city with all its might, then, with limited troops and no foreign aid, you will definitely not be able to hold out until the heavy snow closes the road, and in the end you can only destroy the city and destroy the army, and there is only one way to perish! Where to go, Prince Wangsu will be cautious. ”
When Fan Wencheng said this, he finished saying everything that should be said, and paused deliberately. He saw that Hauge's face was getting more and more ugly, and Ao Bai on the side also opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
Seeing that Haoge and the others were silent, Fan Wencheng was very proud in his heart, with an inexplicable smile on his face, he continued while the iron was hot: "Prince Su, there is no need to tell you these words. It's just that Fan took into account the fact that he had received a lot of the emperor's favor in the past, as well as Prince Su's care and care, so he poured out his heart like this and told Prince Su everything. I also hope that after listening to such heartfelt words, Prince Su can learn his way back and correct his past mistakes, so Fan Mou said these words, which can be regarded as valuable. Moreover, the regent also said that as long as Prince Su can change his previous mistakes, hand over Shengjing City, lead his troops back, and respect the regent as the lord of the Qing Dynasty, then the previous entanglements and mistakes, and the regent's benevolence and generosity, can not be blamed in the past. In addition, all the soldiers of your department will also be the same as other soldiers and horses who come to take refuge in him, each with a reward, and another future, but it is absolutely worry-free, and there are official titles and lords in front of him, such a rare last opportunity, I hope Prince Su will grasp it well, don't miss it easily. ”
Fan Wencheng's last half-frightened and half-persuasive summary made Haoge's brows furrow more and more tight, and his face was blue and white for a while, he lowered his head and kept holding his beard, as if he was carefully considering whether Fan Wencheng's words were really worth adopting.
And in Aobai on the side, seeing Haoge's appearance, knowing that this master, who has always been hesitant and wavering, must have been moved by Fan Wencheng's words, he couldn't help but feel very worried, he heyed, and whispered to Haoge: "Prince Su, Hugh was deceived by this Fan Wencheng's rhetoric, and we have embarked on the road of self-reliance against Dolgon, and there is no possibility of turning back at all. It is very likely that there will be no promotion to the knighthood, but in the end, it will be like a tiger that has lost its teeth and claws, and can only be at its mercy and slaughtered. At that time, the slaves are only afraid, Prince Su, although you are the emperor, but in the end, you will not even be able to get a chance to live. ”
Aobai's words immediately woke up Hauge, who had fallen into a myth, and he sighed long and said: "Aobai you are right, in this Shengjing City, even if everyone can surrender, but this king will never go to Dolgon's knees to beg for mercy, this is the cause of fate. It's just that this guy is so clever that I can't refute it, if he goes by himself, he will inevitably lower the name of our army, but it is better to find someone who can suppress him. ”
Hearing Haoge say this, Ao Bai's eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice: "Prince Su, is this, there is a candidate in my heart, this person has a quick mouth and sharp words, which should be enough to suppress this Fan Wencheng, but I don't know, Prince Su is now, is he allowed to come to the city to speak immediately?" “
Hauge's face tense, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Oh, is there such a person? Hmph, as long as this person is really capable and can subdue this Fan Wencheng, of course this king can urgently call him over, then you will stop selling Guanzi, and quickly tell this king, who is this person? “
Ao Bai smiled in a low voice and said in a low voice: "The person recommended by the slave is Hao Zeren, the shopkeeper of the Xianwang ironware shop. When this person negotiated with us and others that day, he displayed eloquence and ability, and the slave was deeply admired by the slave anyway. The minion believes that although this person is a subordinate of the Tang Army, he is now also an ally of us, and he is the one who can be used as Austrian aid. When you come here, you will be able to subdue this sharp-toothed Fan Wencheng, so as to greatly increase the ambition of our army, and will not be depressed by this dog thing who betrays the Lord and seeks glory, and lowers the name of our army. “
Hao Ge was stunned for a while, let alone think about it, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Very good, as you said, this king is temporarily in the city, you should quickly go and ask the shopkeeper Hao to come over." If you don't suppress this Fan Wencheng's arrogance, this king is also unwilling in his heart! “
Ao bowed and promised, and left in a hurry. Then, with two guards, he hurriedly went to the Xianwang ironware shop to find Hao Zeren's shopkeeper.
After arriving at the ironsmith shop, Ao Bai quickly clarified his intentions and briefly told Hao Zeren about Fan Wencheng's use of the funeral as a funeral to induce Hauge to surrender to Ergon.
Hearing Aobai's words, Hao Zeren pondered his beard for a while, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Shopkeeper Hao, is there anything ridiculous about this?" Seeing the unpredictable smile of the shopkeeper Hao, Ao Bai was very puzzled.
Hao Zeren said with a smile: "Commander of the Protector Army, this shopkeeper is not laughing at others, but laughing at Fan Wencheng's indiscretion to come to persuade Prince Su, thinking that he can get some credit, but according to Hao, he came this time to really throw himself into the net." “
Ao Bai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "What is the opinion of Shopkeeper Hao?" But please speak quickly to Ben. “
Hao Zeren hummed, then whispered to him in Aobai's ear.
Hao Zeren's words were heard by Ao Bai with a smile, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, good, the shopkeeper has a good plan, and I will obey my fate." Hmph, Ben Jiang has long been tired of Fan Wencheng, a dog thief, and now he must teach him a good lesson! “
Subsequently, Hao Zeren and Aobai, who had already made up their minds, immediately divided their horses and galloped to the south gate of Shengjing.
After arriving at the south gate, Ao did not worship the city wall, but immediately began to prepare for action as Hao Zeren said.
Accompanied by several guards, Hao Zeren climbed the South Gate Tower, and when he saw Hao Ge standing next to the Pheasant Trench of the City Tower, he immediately bowed down and saluted.
Hao Ge immediately stopped his polite salute, then pointed at Fan Wencheng who was an arrow away, and whispered to Hao Zeren: "This person is Fan Wencheng, do you know the shopkeeper?" “
Hao Zeren smiled slightly and replied: "Fan Wencheng is used to walking on the streets in the city, but Hao is also familiar with it. It's just that in the past, it was I who knew him, but he didn't know me, but now, it's just right for Hao to meet him for a while to frustrate his arrogance. ”
When Hauge heard him say this, his eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "So good! This guy is arrogant in his words, clever in his tongue, and for a while he said that the king was speechless, and now I invite Hao to be the shopkeeper, show his tongue, fight with his tongue, and subdue this guy well, so that he can make this breath with this king! ”
Hao Zeren nodded, didn't say much, and then came to the edge of the pheasant, and said loudly to Fan Wencheng in the distance: "Hey, someone from afar, but Fan Xian, a scholar from the Inner Pavilion?" ”
