After hearing this, the generals of the Ming army who were refuted sighed one after another: "You can say this!" It seems that this person is not simple, huh? Should he be a descendant of a general? ”

Even the Shangshu of the Ming Nan Zhili Military Department looked at him differently, and continued to ask, "I don't know, which general's son are you?" ”

Wu Junzhen, who was fast-talking, immediately replied: "Am I a waiter?" Wu Junzhen, who suddenly reacted, changed his words and said, "My father used to be just a palace guard!" It's just that I have heard a lot about military intelligence, and occasionally knows some art of war. ”

This statement is quite far-fetched, but the generals also believe it, after all, no one thinks that they are high-ranking officials and generals, they just think that they have the wind of generals!

In this way, Wu Junzhen selected ten soldiers and eleven people with Mawei, and quickly got up and went to Ziyang County, and after they left, Zhu Youlan and Yao Qiuyue, who were in the Huotou camp, learned from the soldiers that their beloved had gone to the enemy camp!

It wasn't until the beginning of the Youshi period that Wu Junzhen and his party went to the enemy camp to come to Ziyang County, because this area is relatively close to the river, there are relatively few epidemics nearby, and the chaotic people are basically invisible! Because the people have already run out, but in order to enter the city smoothly (after all, this is the closest county seat to Ren Chengwei. ）

Ma Wei, who had a ghost mind, asked everyone to disguise themselves as businessmen, and the two of them took off their nets and shawls and distributed them, dressed as bandits and glued their beards, and in order to be more appropriate, Ma Wei also helped Wu Junzhen put on an eye patch and turned him into a one-eyed dragon.

Looking at Wu Junzhen dressed like this, Ma Wei couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehe! Brother Wu, your outfit fits quite well! It seems that this life is the material for doing this business? ”

Shy, he lowered his head and said, "Don't laugh, we still have business!" ”

Then I saw a group of knife-wielding people coming out of the gate of Nourishing County, all of them looked fierce and vicious, and their quality was not very good! It's not like you've ever been a guard! Rather, like a rogue soldier and a bandit?

Wu Junzhen immediately became serious and told them to act according to the plan, and together with Ma Wei, he walked in front of ten businessmen with a knife and made up, and collided with the people who came in front of him.

I saw a person with a forked broom head on the opposite side, and said to the man who led the team next to him, "Big brother, I think they seem to have goods on them?" ”

After hearing this, the wholesale man asked, "Hey! What do you do? Which team's? ”

Wu Junzhen replied unhurriedly, "We are soldiers of the Dashun Army. ”

But the wholesale man looked at it and didn't think it looked like it? It's a bit like a regular guard soldier? But he didn't dare to offend people, but introduced him kindly, "I am the big boss of Liugou in Ningyang County: Duhu, this is my second brother, our second boss of Liugou: Mountain Leopard, I heard that Dashun and the rebel general's predecessor Baoding General Soldier: Liu Chao, cooperated?" So I'm here to join. ”

The second leader of the willow ditch next to him: the mountain leopard, also said, "I heard that if you join the alliance, you will also earn a reward." ”

Ma Wei answered, "Just go like this, aren't you afraid of being deceived by them?" Who knew that the big boss of Liugou said, "What are you afraid of? They now need the army to counterattack the Ming army, let's go to boost his strength, what do you have to worry about? ”

After hearing this, Wu Junzhen instantly became a little angry! He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and scolded, "Damn! ”

The two bandit leaders on the opposite side saw that something was not quite right with him, so they said, "This brother, what is he?" ”

Ma Wei, who was worried about revealing his horse's feet, immediately explained, "Oh, both of us brothers have been heavily taxed by the imperial court, so when we mention the Ming army, we will inevitably show a stronger expression in our hearts." This dispelled the suspicion of the bandits.

Then the thieves became interested in these ten merchants, and one of them, the second master of Liugou, grabbed a merchant and said, "Look, the people who do business are still so thin, is this using the silver for gambling or what?" ”

Ma Wei, who saw through his thoughts, hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Hey! There's nothing more oil and water on them! We've been squeezed dry a long time ago! He was not going to take them back to the city. ”

The bandits became suspicious again and asked, "Back to the city?" Why are you going back to the city? There's no one in the city! Didn't your Dashun Army and Liu Chaojun say that they met in Jining Prefecture, the base camp? ”

At this time, Ma Wei was stunned! When Wu Junzhen relieved the siege, he said, "Oh, look, we are in a hurry to escort the merchants into the city to seize a batch of silk, and we have forgotten about the joint siege!" In this time of chaos, what is the use of silver! Why don't you have a knife or a gun in your hand? ”

So he let the businessmen go, and the two masters of Liugou who were dismissed asked Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei to lead the way to the base camp, but Wu Junzhen was ignorant! Ma Wei is okay, although I haven't been to Jining Prefecture! But in his mind, he remembered that it should be in the southwest direction? In short, you can get there by walking along the official road.

So he led the way to the enemy camp, on the way in order to send the news, Wu Junzhen also gave Ma Wei a look, but he walked too fast to notice, causing Wu Junzhen to stride forward and quickly hit Ma Wei's abdomen, so painful that he quickly covered his stomach and turned his head to look at Wu Junzhen.

He reacted when he received the hint again, and said with an excuse, "Ouch! My stomach hurts! No, no, no! I'm going to a hut. ”

In this way, he walked out of the bandit advance line and walked into the woods next to him, and the second master who was walking on horseback saw Ma Wei leaving, so he shouted to Wu Junzhen in front, "What's wrong with which brother?" ”

The clever Wu Junzhen replied, "Oh! Eat bad stomach! It's convenient and you don't have to worry about it. ”

After Ma Wei, who walked into the woods, looked around to confirm that there was no one, he took out the letter and whistled, causing the ten people who were hiding nearby to rush to this side, and after they ran over, Ma Wei ordered, "Quickly hand over this letter to Lord Shangshu of the Nanzhili Military Department, and say that we have a general understanding of the situation!" Ren Chengwei is a trap and must not go. ”

But the soldiers looked at each other and asked, "How can this be determined?" What if the bandits are joking? And Ma Wei thought for a while and felt that the probability was not great, if the bandits really wanted to deceive themselves, then it would be impossible for him to go to the base camp, because the ambush location was in the city guard, and the base camp was the center of the enemy's troops, and going to the base camp meant that he really had to meet with the enemy army to counterattack the Ming army, and going to the ambush circle was to rob the enemy trophies.

As long as you are a thief with brains, you won't do this! So according to this analysis, Ma Wei decided that this was the case, so he asked them to pass on the news, and he continued to return to the team.

After half a pillar of incense, Ma Wei finally led the bandits to the city of Jining Prefecture, and the rebels shouted from the city, "Who is coming?" Hurry up and get your name on! ”

The two bandit leaders stepped forward and introduced, "We are the leaders of Naliugou in Ningyang County, and we should be invited to surrender to General Liu's command, please open the door quickly and let me go!" ”

The rebel soldiers slowly opened the city gate to let them enter the city, Ma Wei and Wu Junzhen glanced at the scale of the garrison, as if they could hide many heavy artillery, if the Qin Wang Ming army came to attack, it was estimated that they would not have any advantage, and they had to attack from the flank to win.

At this moment, Liu Chaozheng, a rebel general in the city, invited the leaders of bandits and cottages and local bullies in the vicinity, gathered together to hold a banquet, he walked up to the stage with a wine glass and said, "Everyone, there is no other purpose for inviting everyone to come today, just a common goal?" That is to fight back against the Ming army! Expand the territory of the government secretary in Shandong, so that we can get more materials to meet your requirements. ”

Hearing this, the audience cheered happily: "Follow General Liu's instructions, expand your territory, grab more silver, and get more women!" Hehe. ”

Seeing the joy of everyone, the rebel general Liu Chao also laughed, among them, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, who had just entered the banquet, were also mixed at the banquet, and they visually checked that the leaders around them were about no less than hundreds!

Just when everyone was happy, a soldier outside the door suddenly ran over, hurriedly walked up the steps and reported, "Commander Qiqi, there is a messenger of Dashun coming!" I want you to go out and receive the order. ”

Liu Chao, a rebel general with some temper, stared at the soldiers, clenched his fists and was about to get angry, but he saw a team of Dashun heavy armored soldiers draw their swords and break in, under the command of a general wearing a phoenix-winged helmet wearing armor, he walked to the banquet platform and raised the military order book in his hand and read, "Dashun left battalion system general book, former Ming Baoding general soldier: Liu Chao, take the order!" On the order of Emperor Dashun, Shandong Cheng announced that all those who rebelled during the Chongzhen period would not be blamed as long as they surrendered to Dashun! Violators will be beheaded. ”

After reading it, the rebel general Liu Chao came back to his senses and asked, "Didn't the general of the left battalion send troops to jointly besiege the Ming army with our army?" Why is it on Emperor Dashun? ”

The envoy of the Shun army under the stage said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, and now the entire Beizhili is surrounded by His Majesty the Emperor!" I'm afraid that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is already fierce and unlucky, once His Majesty enters the capital, then look at the Central Plains and everywhere is not my Dashun land? ”

This made the rebel general Liu Chao furious on the spot, he hurriedly drew his saber with his hand, and the two generals around him immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "Don't be handsome!" At present, the morale of the Dashun army is booming, we have betrayed the imperial court, and we must not be the enemy of Dashun again! Otherwise, the enemy will be wiped out! ”

Liu Chao, the rebel general who listened to it, controlled his emotions, slowly withdrew his saber, bowed his head slightly, saluted with both hands, and said, "The last general, Liu Chao, is willing to surrender to Dashun!" ”

This made Dashun Dongchang in charge of the audience: Qiao Ji, clapped his hands and welcomed, "That's right!" My Dashun was originally going to destroy the Ming army, and on the order of the general of the left battalion, he brought 50,000 troops, dozens of artillery pieces, and now they are stationed outside the city, please take a look! ”

The rebel general Liu Chao was instantly stunned, his current total strength is only 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses from all over the country that have just been assembled are less than 30,000, and now adding 50,000 soldiers and horses is simply like a tiger with wings!

He happily walked down the steps to Dashun Dongchang to take charge of the brigade, and asked him to lead the way to check on the situation of the army, while the rest of the leaders at the banquet also followed.

As a result, the scene was very crowded for a while, and Wu Junzhen wanted to go to the top of the city tower to see the situation, but he could only follow everyone to the city gate with Ma Wei honestly.

On the other side, the Ming Southern Zhili Military Department in the Ming army camp and the Ming Shandong were in command of the affairs, looked at the map in the Chinese army tent and laid out the battle plan, and said, "Our army should set up an ambush here?" To the south of Ningyang County, they tried their way with infantry. ”

This plan shows that the Shangshu of the Nanzhili Military Department thinks something is inappropriate? Because if Ren Chengwei is really the ambush location, then the army of the rogues should be nearby, and there is no need to be tempting!

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, Zhu Youlan walked in, and asked angrily, "Where did Wu Junzhen, a recruit in the army, go?" ”

Touching his beard and smiling, the Shangshu of the Ming Nan Zhili Military Department replied, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, who are you asking?" There are a lot of recruits in our army, but Ben Du doesn't have such a good memory, and he knows them one by one! ”

Seeing that Lord Shi Shangshu refused to answer, Zhu Youlan reminded, "It's the recruit who proposed to let the county lord go to the Huotou Camp before." ”
