"The enemy has retreated!" , the defender of Huailai, Imutu, collapsed on the city wall with a long sigh of relief, his men suffered heavy losses in today's battle, and if it wasn't for the fact that it was dark now, it was really possible to be captured; Today is considered to be over, but what about tomorrow?

"Lord Wang, the damage is too serious today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack the city tomorrow!" , Prince Zhuang's subordinates also suffered a lot of losses.

"That's it, we didn't bring a cannon with us this time on light horses, that's why we fought so hard!" , Prince Zhuang was also depressed, he didn't expect to be blocked so close to the capital, "I'll rest for a day tomorrow, and wait for the cannons behind to come up and then attack the city again!" If your subordinates suffer heavy losses, even if they take Huailai, they won't be able to hit the capital, so it's better to rest and wait for the artillery and reinforcements in the rear to arrive.

"Lord Wang, that Imutu was an errand boy under Prince Yu at the beginning, you might as well try to persuade him to surrender tomorrow, if we can convince him, we can do less damage!" , Hongday also followed at night.

"His family is still in the capital, I'm afraid it's not easy to do!" , Prince Zhuang was also for this reason, so Bai Ri casually persuaded two sentences to see that Imutu did not respond and began to attack the city.

"Then it depends on whether he wants his own life or his family's life!" , Hongtian said gloomily, "If you want your family's life, he will die in a few days, and it won't be long before we capture the capital, and his family will go down to accompany him; If he saves his life, his wife can remarry in the future, his son can be reborn, and his family will not be cut off. ”

These two people are ruthless characters who threw their families aside before escaping from the capital, and Prince Zhuang was deeply impressed by Hongyang's words, "Then go and try, but how to send an envoy into the city now?" ”

"I'll leave this matter to my nephew!" , Hongday returned to his camp tent and called Chu Yuan. "Tonight you go into the city overnight, and there is someone in the city who will take you to Ilgen's mansion, and when you go in like this, see how he copies, and if you promise, you will spare him a dog's life. If you don't agree, you'll slaughter him! ”

"Yes, the minion commands!" , Chu Yuan was very obedient during this time, and when he saw his master's orders, even if he was a little worried, he still had to do what he wanted; However, although life is hard, it is better than staying in Beijing and dying with Bai Zhen; After agreeing, he went straight out of the camp.

Came to the bottom of the city wall, found the location that Hongtian said, and whistled a few times. A human head appeared on the city wall, took a torch and drew a few circles, Chu Yuan followed Hongday's instructions to the upper joint, and after the code words were hung, a rope hung down on the city wall, Chu Yuan took up light skills and grabbed the rope and climbed the city wall like a civet cat.

"Follow me!" , The man said in a low voice, there were some Qing soldiers sleeping on the city wall, and no one noticed them, Chu Yuan followed the man and turned left and right to avoid the patrolling soldiers to a courtyard.

"Imutu is in this courtyard. His bedroom is in the middle of the second entry, so go in by yourself! ”。 The man told Chu Yuan about the general layout of the courtyard again, and then left.

Chu Yuan saw that there was no one to carry the light work and climb over the wall, and quickly found Imutu's bedroom according to the man's guidance, and when he went to the bedroom window, he found that the light was still on inside, and he stabbed the window paper with some saliva. When I put one eye on the window, I saw that Imutu was drinking alone.

"Hehe, the general is so interested!" , was sighing for a long time, and a voice came from behind Imutu.

"Who!". Imutu reflexively wanted to pick up his waist knife, but he was immediately hit by the cold blade across his neck, he slowly withdrew his hand and put it on the table, "Hehe, I don't know which way the hero wants to take the life of a certain family!" ”

"You know the times!" Seeing that the other party did not have the determination to resist desperately, Chu Yuan knew that the task of his trip was playful, "I am the messenger of Prince Zhuang, I don't know if General Imutu wants to die or live?" ”

"Hehe, who wants to die if they can live?" Imutu smiled bitterly, "It's just that if I live, my family is afraid that I will die!" Do it if you want! Clean, thank you very much! ”

"Do you think your family will survive if you die?" , Chu Yuan said according to Hongday's instructions, "Not to mention whether this crime of losing land will implicate your family, even if Qianlong does not pursue it so that your family can get away with it, when our army invades the capital, there will be good fruits for your family to eat?" ”

Seeing that Imutu's face changed, Chu Yuan continued, "You don't know how far Huai has come to the capital, you don't know how far you are in the capital, and you don't know what the capital is full of nobles now!" As soon as our army arrives outside the city, there are countless people who will open the city gates for us! If you are demoted now, you can still be mixed up with the rank of knight, and if you march fast, you may be able to save their lives before Qianlong can deal with your family! Think about how to choose! ”

After saying that, Chu Yuan didn't urge him, and drank slowly and methodically with Imutu's side dishes, and after a while, Imutu sighed, "Do I still have a choice?" I, Imutu, am willing to surrender to Prince Zhuang! ”

"Good!" , Chu Yuan high-fived and praised, "It's better to descend early than to descend early, you will gather your men and horses to open the city gate early tomorrow morning, and Prince Zhuang will not forget your merits afterwards!" ”

Early the next morning, Chu Yuan released a signal on the city wall that a great event had been completed, and with the cooperation of Imutu, the army quickly entered the city of Huailai, and swept away the soldiers who were still resisting, and since then there has been almost no obstacle between the army and the capital.

"Your Majesty, Zhuang Rebellious's army has broken through Huailai, and it is only a stone's throw away from the capital!" , Fukangan hurriedly entered the palace and reported.

"What!" , Qianlong suddenly couldn't stand still, and not long after the news of the fall of Zhangjiakou came back, he received the news that Huailai had fallen into the hands of the enemy, "Are the defenders of Huailai all rice buckets!" ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to quickly gather troops to stop Zhuang Yi!" , in a hurry, Fukangan forgot to be humble when he spoke.

"Call Ah Gui into the palace immediately!" , The Su of the Qianlong Dynasty will be defeated by the Red Flower Society, and there are not many people left, and only Fukangan and A Gui are still in Beijing, Fukangan cannot do without the capital, and the task of receiving the enemy can only be handed over to A Gui.

Before Ah Gui came in, Fukangan's subordinates sent another bad news, the Manchu nobles in the capital became unstable, and every household was ready to move, especially those with military power in their hands were even closer, as for the purpose, it can be imagined.

There are Prince Zhuang who is eyeing him outside, and there are Manchu nobles with bad intentions inside, Qianlong is in a dilemma at home and abroad! (To be continued......)
