Ye Zhan rode on his horse to report to Lin Zhaolong, and Zhou Lei came to Xu Lang's side.

"Zhou Lei, if you don't command the infantry, why are you running to me?"

"You think I'm willing." Zhou Lei smiled, "Ye Zhan asked me to look at you, afraid that you would run to the North Koreans by yourself." ”

"This Ye Zhan." Xu Lang smiled helplessly.

"Xu Lang, let's not be kidding." Zhou Lei asked, "Do you think it's useful to negotiate with the North Koreans?" ”

"It's useless, the North Koreans will definitely not surrender." Xu Lang looked around, "But I want to figure out a problem." ”

"What are you trying to figure out?"

"Why are the North Koreans so strong in fighting this time, and what method did Tao Min use to train them."

Zhou Lei said: "The North Koreans are quite capable of fighting this time, they shouldn't be like this, is it that Tao Min's land reform in North Korea really has such a big effect?" ”

"So I'd like to talk about it, and hopefully I'll get something out of it."

The two of them were guessing that Lin Zhaolong and Ye Zhan had returned with a cavalry company and a sniper team.

"Xu Lang, you can find trouble." Lin Zhaolong ordered, "Gao Chen, bring the cavalry company and sniper team to absolutely protect the safety of the chief of staff." ”

"Deputy Divisional Commander." Zhou Lei asked, "Aren't you opposed to the chief of staff going to negotiate?" ”

"I'm against it, is it useful." Lin Zhaolong and Xu Lang thought together, "Xu Lang, the negotiation is just a cover, try to figure out what the North Koreans think, why they are so able to fight this time." ”

"Haha, Deputy Division Commander Lin." Xu Lang gave Lin Zhaolong a thumbs up, "General." ”

Xu Lang pulled a horse: "Gao Chen, let's go." ”

The cavalry company and sniper group walked towards Majiakou with a white flag held high.

The deputy chief of staff of the DPRK New Army was watching the chief staff leader in a room, and the chief staff leader was shot twice in the right leg and left shoulder, and although his life was not in danger for the time being, he could no longer command the battle.

"Your Excellency." The deputy chief of staff said silently, "Lord Belle will arrive in two days at the earliest, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on for two days." ”

"I know." Zheng Shen Ling lay on the bed and replied, "But the military order is like a mountain." It's not that you don't know the prince's military order, you and I can't survive if you withdraw without authorization, and our family is still in North Korea. ”

"Xia Guan knows this truth." The deputy chief of staff stopped talking.

A soldier ran into the house: "My lord, there is a group of cavalry on the opposite side, waving a white flag. ”

"They fly a white flag?" The leader struggled to sit up.

"Don't worry, adults." The deputy staff leader supported the main staff leader, "Go and see what they want to do." ”

The cavalry company stopped more than 100 meters away from the low wall, and a North Korean soldier also ran over on horseback with a white flag and asked in Chinese, "Who is coming?" ”

Gao Chen urged him to step forward: "Do you have the final say here, go back and tell your general, General Xu Lang, a Ming guerrilla general and chief of staff of the First Independent Division of the Yulin Army, wants to talk to your general, please ask your general to come out and answer." ”

The North Korean soldiers ran back, and after a while, a group of North Korean cavalry also left Majiakou with white flags.

A North Korean general led by him came to Xu Lang's horse: "This official is the deputy chief of staff of the North Korean New Army, what do you have to tell this officer." ”

Xu Lang listened to the translation and arched his hand: "General, the general will tell you the truth, you have been surrounded." Your reinforcements in Tianjin Wei were blocked by our Ming army and could not come to the rescue. Ben didn't want to kill too much, you are all family people, Ben wants you to lay down your arms, Ben will be able to guarantee your safety. ”

"Nonsense." The deputy staff leader pointed at Xu Lang and shouted, "How can my dignified Korean new army bend its knees and surrender to the enemy, if you want to fight, you will come to fight." ”

"Why should the general be like this?" Xu Lang persuaded, "Even if the general wants the horse leather to shroud the body, what about these sergeants behind the general." The general looked back at your troops, they were all comrades of the general's country. You are Koreans, not Ming people, not Qing people, why do you have to work for the Manchurian Tartars. North Korea has been friends with my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and your Gwanghaejun is still living in my Ming Dynasty, why should the general insist on going his own way and be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"You don't have to say it." The deputy staff leader wanted to stop Xu Lang.

Xu Lang still said: "The king of a country should be sympathetic to his subjects, and the general of an army should be sympathetic to his subordinates." The 5,000 sergeants behind the general are all subordinates of the general, and they are all your children of North Korea. If the general insists on fighting, doesn't the general think about the lives of these children, and the fact that their parents are still at home waiting for them to return? ”

The deputy staff leader looked up at Xu Lang, and wanted to say something but didn't say anything.

Xu Lang asked, "What is the general so unspeakable?" ”

The deputy staff leader arched his hand at Xu Lang: "This official has thanked General Xu for his kindness, and I don't know if the general can agree to a request." ”

"Please."

"We have a group of wounded people now, and our chief of staff is also seriously injured. If the general has the virtue of a good life, can you let us send these wounded back to Tianjin? ”

"No problem, your wounded can go at any time." Xu Lang asked again, "I don't know what the rest of the generals plan." ”

The deputy staff leader lowered his head: "There is only a fight to the death." ”

Xu Lang asked: "General, why do you want to fight when you know that you can't fight?" Is it true that the general does not sympathize with these children at all, and does not sympathize with their families and parents? ”

The deputy staff leader finally told Xu Lang the truth: "It's not that the official is ruthless, it's just that our prince has issued a joint sitting method this time, one retreats to kill the captain, and the other retreats to kill the commander." In addition, those who fear the enemy and avoid the battle, and surrender to the enemy in battle, the family members of North Korea will confiscate their land and arrest them and go to prison. Therefore, the officer was unable to agree to the general's request, and asked the general to forgive him. ”

Xu Lang finally understood what was going on with the North Koreans: "The general is good at himself. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to send the wounded back to Tianjin, and we will not stop you. At noon tomorrow, the war will resume, and the general will also ask General Haihan. ”

The deputy chief of staff didn't say anything more, and went back with his hands.

Lin Zhaolong, Zhou Lei and others showed surprise when they heard the news that Xu Lang brought back, and Lin Zhaolong said hatefully: "This Tao Min is ruthless enough, and this method can also be thought of." ”

"It seems that the North Koreans will not surrender." Zhou Lei asked, "Chief of Staff Xu, do you really want to let their wounded go back, they won't cheat." ”

"No, it won't." Xu Lang replied, "Those wounded don't have any combat effectiveness, it doesn't matter if they let it go or not, we can also hit their will to fight if we do this." ”

"Chief of Staff." Gao Chen thought of a question, "If these wounded return to Tianjin, they will definitely bring back the battle situation here, so can the Tartar rescuers still come?" ”
