Ruan Renlie looked at the hundreds of Ming troops who had surrounded him in front of him, and then looked at the only dozen or so people around him, and pulled out his knife from his waist.

Just now, he was still urging Pan Ningyuan's troops to fight with the Ming army on the opposite side, although some people turned around to flee from time to time, but they all became the ghosts of the supervising team.

But suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the south of the city, and the defenders in various parts of the city collapsed in an instant. Everyone threw down their weapons and ran to the east; Others ran into the city with their weapons, presumably to loot before they ran.

Pan Ningyuan's department is no exception. Everyone cried and ran away, and even Pan Ningyuan himself threw down his helmet and armor and ran away.

"I, Ruan Renlie, as a person personally promoted by the Emperor Taishang from the ranks, the Emperor Taishang has the grace of knowing me, and will never surrender to the Ming army. But you are different, you are not promoted by the emperor, there are still wives and children at home to support, and when I die, you will all surrender to the Ming army. Nguyen Renlie held the knife in his hand, made two strokes near his neck, and said to his guards.

"My lord! If the adult is dead, we will also accompany the adult to the underworld. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom has a poem: What is the meaning of the severed head today, it is difficult to start a business, and there are many battles, so he went to Quantai to recruit the old department, and the banner of 100,000 beheaded Yama. One of Nguyen Renlie's guards cried and said, "When you arrive at the Netherworld Mansion to kill Yama, how can you not be without us!" ”

"I don't dare to compare with Lan Lian who died in the battle of Mobei in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu." Ruan Renlie said with a wry smile: "Lan Lian was martyred to save the life of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and after his death, he was crowned a marquis, and his daughter was crowned a county lord, and his name was given before and after his death. Although I am also loyal to Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations, how can I compare to Lord Lan. ”

His guards were about to say something, but Ruan Renlie had already turned his head and shouted to Chang Jizong: "This Lord of the Ming Kingdom. As he spoke, he bowed.

Chang Jizong involuntarily bowed and asked, "General Ruan, is he willing to surrender to my Daming?" Even if the monarchs of the Chen Dynasty and the Hu Dynasty of your country recognize the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the lord of the world, the general is just catering to the will of Heaven and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"I also promise that Your Majesty will definitely give preferential treatment to the general, and maybe in the future, the general will continue to command the army. So why didn't General Nguyen surrender? ”

"Haha!" Ruan Renlie smiled and said, "I have received the great favor of my Emperor Yu, how can I surrender to another country?" ”

Although what he said was an understatement, Chang Jizong immediately heard that he would never surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and he no longer persuaded him to surrender, and asked, "General Ruan, but you have something to ask me?" As long as it doesn't involve confidentiality, I'll answer it by all means. ”

"I wonder who you are? I've heard of the name. Today, I need to know who is defeated. Nguyen Renlie asked.

"In the Ming Dynasty, Jinwu avant-garde commanded the affairs, concurrently served as a thousand households, and often succeeded to the sect." Chang Jizong replied.

"Chang Jizong?" Ruan Renlie frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "But the eldest grandson of King Kaiping Chang Yu Chun Changgong? ”

"Exactly down there." Chang Jizong said.

"If I can be defeated in the hands of the prince of Kaiping, I can be regarded as unjust." He sighed.

"General Ruan, you are not defeated in the hands of your subordinates, in fact," Speaking of this, Chang Jizong suddenly paused, and said: "The main general of this attack on Duobang City is not me, but Zhang Fu, the former army general; I didn't break through the general's defenses, but I only captured Duobang City because of the breakthrough of others, so General Nguyen was not defeated by his subordinates. ”

"Haha," Ruan Renlie laughed again and said, "That's it." I have another question that I hope you will be able to answer. Why were you able to start a fire in the South City? ”

"Of course, this is because there are still traitors in our army in the south of the city." Chang Jizong pointed to Mo Yuan on his side and said: "The three brothers of the Mo family have all been influenced, and they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, change the evil and return to the right, and surrender to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"That's not right." Nguyen Renlie said: "It's not that I'm not defenseless against the Modi and Mo Tunnel brothers, all the bows and crossbows in their hands have been taken away, and I haven't allowed them to go to the camp of the Western Capital City tomorrow, and they will never light a fire in the south of the city." ”

"I can't hide anything from General Ruan." Chang Jizong said with a smile: "There are indeed other things, but if General Ruan wants to know, he has to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, the two of us are colleagues, and I naturally know everything and say everything." ”

"Forget it. I'd better keep my name for the rest of my life. Ruan Renlie sighed, then raised his knife and was about to kill himself.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt the wind in the back of his head, and his hand hesitated for a moment, and then he didn't know anything.

"Slow down." Among the guards surrounding Nguyen Nin Lie, there was a man with a wooden stick, right behind where Nguyen Nin Lie was standing just now, shouting loudly.

"Yes, I just knocked General Ruan unconscious, and I am indeed a fine work of Da Ming, but I am for the good of General Ruan!" This person rushed to say before the others spoke: "General Ruan is not alone, there are dozens of wives and children in the whole family, and the whole family is holding General Ruan, if the general dies, what about the general's relatives?" I'm afraid that I will not be displaced, or even starve to death on the streets. For the sake of the general's family, the general must live. ”

Moreover, the reputation of a loyal servant pursued by General Nguyen may not be so good. 8 Mou Dynasty usurped the throne and rebelled against human morality, and his reputation in the history books will never be good in the future, as a loyal minister who martyred him, the general committed suicide after defeating the battle, and the descendants sighed at most 'foolish loyalty', and the reputation may not be as good as the martyrdom of the Chen Dynasty's ministers. ”

"So I'm going to save the general."

"I talked about it for a long time, but I just played for Mingguo! Mingguo wants a living general, you give Mingguo a living general, it's shameless to say it so lofty! Another guard said.

"If you really want to fulfill the general's loyalty, you can kill the general, why bother to ink here with me?" The guards said again.

The man who spoke just now stopped talking. They were loyal to Nguyen Nin Lie, but 8 did not show any kindness to them, and they did not want Nguyen Nhì to die for 8.

Refutating the others, the guards stepped forward to help Ruan Renlie, walked in front of Chang Jizong and handed Ruan Renlie to the others, knelt down and said, "Grass people Han Qiqing has seen Master Chang!" ”

"Okay." Chang Jizong said to him: "For my Ming Dynasty to capture Ruan Renlie, your credit is huge, I will definitely give your credit to Your Majesty and the Qin commander." ”

The reason why Chang Jizong wanted to ink with Ruan Renlie for half a day just now was to capture him. As a close confidant of 8, Nguyen Renlie has a huge influence in Annam, and if he can surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the future battle will be much easier.

Even if he does not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it will be useful to capture him. When the battle was over to restore order in Annam, a general of the Hu Dynasty who had fought with the Ming Dynasty was still well entertained although he refused to surrender, which could greatly alleviate the anxiety of those Hu Dynasty generals who had fought with the Ming Dynasty, surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and quickly stabilize the order in Annam.

Chang Jizong spoke to him very politely just now, just to let his guards see his respect for Ruan Renlie, and he would not think that Ruan Renlie would be how he would resist his capture after being captured.

Chang Jizong turned his head and ordered his soldiers to take good care of Nguyen Renlie and not to be slow to wait, and then let the other soldiers disperse and garrison all over the city, so as not to give the remaining Annan soldiers a chance to make trouble, and then walked towards the north gate with a few guards.

……

……

"Xiaguan Zhang Fu, I've seen General Mu." At this time, at the gate of the North City, Zhang Fu took a few guards and said to Mu Sheng, who was wearing a delicate chain mail. According to Zhang Wen's previous arrangement, after the vanguard army led by Zhang Fu landed, the second group of troops to respond was Mu Sheng's right army soldiers. So at this time, Mu Sheng came to Duobang City with soldiers and horses.

"Counselor Zhang, get up." Mu Sheng said with a smile: "General Zhang led the troops to capture Duobang City, the credit is not small, Your Majesty will definitely reward General Zhang." Maybe, I'll have to call you Hou Ye Zhang in two days. ”

"General Mu praised it falsely." Zhang Fu still bent over and said, "How can the merits of the lower officials be knighted?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled and did not continue to dwell on this matter. Although he intends to have a good relationship with Zhang Fu, he will not and does not need to be too respectful.
