Chapter 109: Persuasion
Seeing that they have been surrounded by the Xingtian Army, many officials and soldiers began to beat drums in their hearts, they were not from Henan, most of the Guanning Army were from Liaodong, and they came to Henan to assist in the local suppression of bandits, but they did not come to send them to death, but now it is good, the thieves did not succeed, but were suppressed by the thieves, and some soldiers and generals began to sum up in their hearts.
Zu Dale was also very nervous, when he saw the strength of the enemy forces around him clearly, he knew that the number of thieves was not very large, and on the whole it could even be said that it was not much more than them, but because of the suddenness of the incident, Zu Kuan was suddenly ambushed and seriously injured, and a general under his command was almost completely annihilated, so it led to his misjudgment, and now when he understands, it is already too late, and the thief army has already completed the encirclement of him.
Now, he looked around, only to see that the officers and soldiers under his command were all panicked, and the Guan Ning army and auxiliary soldiers were even more chaotic and mixed together, and there was almost no formation, and there was no chance to reorganize these soldiers and horses for a while and restore their combat strength, so at this point, Zu Dale was already desperate.
Just after the Xingtian army completed the encirclement of Zu Dale's department, the Xingtian army suddenly galloped out of the horse, rushed to the place of a stone's throw in front of the chaotic official army, and the Xingtian army on the horse copied out a copper trumpet, leaned to his mouth and opened his throat and shouted: "The officers and soldiers on the opposite side listen!" You have also seen that you are now surrounded by us, but our marshal has the virtue of a good life, and he is unwilling to kill you, our marshal wants to ask General Zu to come out and talk about it, I wonder if General Zu has the courage to come out and answer? ”
As he spoke, he saw that in the large array of the Xingtian Army, there was a general wearing a red cloak on his shoulders and wearing a mountain armor holding a spear and slowly carrying a horse out of the large formation, without any more soldiers behind him, so he came to the front of the two armies.
After the officers and soldiers heard the roar of the Xingtian army, they gradually began to quiet down, the actions of the thief army obviously brought them a glimmer of hope, they are not stupid, they can see their situation at a glance, if the thief army suddenly starts to attack them now, they will not have the slightest chance to resist, they will be driven into the Baijiang River behind them, and become the target of the thief army's hunting, but the thief army did not do this, but first sent someone to invite their general ancestor Dale to go out, So this shows that there is still room for negotiation in the matter, so everyone has turned their attention to the location of Zu Dale.
Although Zu Dale is Zu Dashou's cousin, he has been a Liaodong military general for generations, as a military general family, Zu Dale is still somewhat courageous, when he saw the other party inviting him out to talk about it, he knew that today's things have not yet reached the realm of irreversible, people are such a character, if the Xingtian Army launches an attack without saying a word at this time, maybe it can also arouse the blood and courage of some Guan Ning generals, fight desperately, and fight to the death with the Xingtian Army, but once the Xingtian Army does not do this, but to talk to them, Then everyone has no desperate intentions.
The soldiers of the Guanning Army are soldiers, in addition to the generals, most of the soldiers and low-level officers are recruited into the army, to put it bluntly, they are looking for a place to eat food, relying on being a soldier to mix a belly, if they fight a smooth battle, there is still no big problem, once they are in a desperate situation, they will soon lose their courage, only thinking about how to keep the eight and a half catties on their shoulders.
Zu Dale actually did not have the idea of dying for the imperial court, since Yuan Chonghuan was killed, Guan Ningjun's hearts were scattered, he had a close personal relationship with Sun Degong in private, and he had long had the idea of not wanting to work for the current Ming court, only because he was transferred to Henan by the imperial court in the first two years to accompany Lu Xiangsheng to suppress bandits, so this idea was not realized, and now it has reached this point, Zu Dale also gave birth to the idea of survival.
So he glanced at the generals who looked at him one by one, and saw that they all had expectations on their faces, obviously these people had reached this point, and they all had the idea of fighting to the death, and their faces showed more expectations for life, after looking at the expressions on the faces of these generals, Zu Dale knew that this battle was no longer able to fight, and now they were in a Jedi, and there were no reinforcements behind them, except for being slaughtered here, there was almost no possibility of escaping and ascending to heaven, except that surrender could save their lives, There is no second way.
As he shook the reins of his horse, Zu Dale stopped a few family members who were going to follow him, and slowly rode his horse out of the group, carrying the horse lance that he had been using since outside the gate, and came to the front of the two armies.
Xiao Tianjian looked up and down at Zu Dale who came out on the other side, and saw that Zu Dale was also wearing a mountain armor, although his figure was not too tall compared to him, but he was already tall in this era, and he led the army to fight all year round, which made his face very rough, with the beard on his face, and even the old look, especially the big hand holding the lance, the bone joints were very thick, and it was covered with tears because of the wind and frostbite, and it looked like an old general.
"This should be General Zu Da Lezu! Xiao is polite here! When Xiao Tianjian saw Zu Dale coming to him, he immediately hugged his fist at Zu Dale and said.
After Zu Dale sneered, he didn't return the courtesy, but snorted coldly: "Don't dare to be!" It is Zu below, but he is just the general of the defeated army under General Xiao! Now that this is the case, I wonder what you have to say to me? If you want to humiliate Zu, then you can humiliate it! My ancestor is here today, and I will fight with you to break the net and pull it down! We must not lose the prestige of our ancestors! ”
Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "General Zu, where is this!" Xiao is such a boring person! I invited General Zu to come out to talk today, just to make friends with General Zu! ”
Zu Dale raised his eyebrows, with a strange expression on his face, and frowned: "Friend? Does General Xiao think it is possible for you and me to become friends? ”
"Why not? Presumably, General Zu should also see today's situation clearly, with the current situation, does General Zu still have the ability to fight in a battle with our Heavenly Army?
Xiao didn't want to humiliate General Zu, but wanted to tell General Zu that your ministry can be said to be in a desperate situation today! There is no escape!
And you and I are both people of the Ming Dynasty, and we are both descendants of the Han people with the same root and origin, and we should not fight each other on the battlefield, but...... Don't talk about that!
Today, Xiao just wants to advise General Zu, so far, Xiao has no idea of killing all your soldiers, you do things for the imperial court, many brothers just want to be soldiers and eat food to eat and be full! There is no need to die for the sake of such a court today!
Think about you, the generals, who have guarded the border for the imperial court for many years, what did the imperial court give you? Do the officials see you as human beings again? Scholars regard you as thieves, not even as good as thieves, and finally came up with a Yuan Inspector, who wanted to save the situation in Liaodong, and trained your Guanning army, but what about Yuan Inspector? Isn't it still framed by traitors in the court, and is it late to the city by the current bullshit emperor?
Others can say that Inspector Yuan should be killed, but those of you who used to be his subordinates always know in your hearts whether Inspector Yuan should be killed! Therefore, such a monarch and a courtier, such a mean and ungrateful emperor, what is there to be worthy of your allegiance?
You have been in Henan for more than two years, and it is not that you have not seen how the government is exploiting the people today, we people have no way to live, so we naturally want to rebel, and the current situation must be that General Zu is not unable to see a little, and now the Ming Dynasty is already swaying, and it is not long before the collapse!
And why did General Zu take so many brothers to be buried for him? So today Xiao remembered that you and I are both Han Chinese, and I don't want to kill more, so I came to ask General Zu to talk about it, as long as General Zu can nod and lead the crowd to put down their arms and surrender, then I, Xiao, can guarantee that I will never kill a soldier of your department indiscriminately, as for General Zu, Xiao does not dare to say that he can give you a wealth, at least he can guarantee that there is no problem for you to be a rich man!
As long as you promise to surrender, then how can you and I not be friends? I also hope that General Zu will think twice! Xiao Tianjian said to Zu Dale with a fist.
(Warm celebration, the chrysanthemum was exploded!) Sweat! )
