Chapter 44 goes down to the state first

Yang San smiled: "This matter should have been cautious, we are too Meng Lang, and please Brother Liu Haihan." “

So Yang San asked Zhang Zhaoyun to take someone to send Jin Yingkui and Liu Xingzhi to Juehua Island, and he also wrote a letter to explain the previous situation clearly.

A few days later, Zhang Zhaoyun and his people crossed the sea and returned, and Jin Yingkui came to Fuzhou to meet Liu Xingzuo with a letter from the General Staff and the First Division jointly issued by the General Staff and the First Division, as well as an official appointing Liu Xingzuo as the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, as well as a private letter written by Xiong Tingbi to Liu Xingzuo and a letter from home written by Liu Xingzhi.

After reading the letter, Liu Xingzuo said: "I didn't expect the fifth brother to use himself as a hostage, which shows that he is really anxious to return." “

Jin Yingkui said: "Staff Officer Yang and others said that there was no need to do this, but the fifth prince insisted on doing this, and he asked me to say that if the proprietor is at both ends, then wait to collect his body." “

Liu Xingzuo said with a smile: "In order to return to Daming, the seven of us brothers have been planning for many days, how can we give up halfway, the fifth brother just wants to strengthen your hearts." You just called me the proprietor? “

Jin Yingkui said with a smile: "Jin is cheeky, I ask the proprietor to seek a position, and I also ask the proprietor to allow it." “

Liu Xingzuo said excitedly: "Xiucai Gong doesn't think that I have betrayed my ancestors, and is willing to help me, I really don't know how to be grateful." “

Jin Yingkui said: "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, my generation reads the book of sages, but it is also to persuade the good to retreat from the evil, I hope to get along with the owner, to expel the slaves, and to make a contribution to my Liaodong." “

Liu Xingzuo said: "The Guards will come in September, and we must first mobilize our troops to cooperate with their actions." “

Liu Xingzuo called all the brothers and prepared to welcome the arrival of the Ming army. At this time, the Ming army was already preparing to attack southern Liaoning.

Dai Chunfeng comprehensively analyzed the intelligence of Jinyiwei, and believed that Liu Xingzuo really wanted to return to the south instead of surrendering, and he had three reasons, one is that Jin Yingkui proposed to write a letter to Denglai was unintentional, and Liu Xingzuo followed it, indicating that he had already had this intention, and second, Yang San heard what Wang Bing said, it could not be a bureau, and third, Liu Xingzhi would rather be a hostage here, which also proves that the Liu brothers have always had the intention of returning to the south, and he also proposed to show from other collected materials that although the Liu brothers grew up, they had a Confucian family background and knew the etiquette and law. This can further prove the sincerity of Liu's return to the south.

Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng both thought so, and Lu Xiangsheng even asked Dai Chunfeng to temporarily follow the First Division to southern Liaoning to summarize and analyze intelligence. Yang Guangkui hesitated again and again, and reluctantly agreed.

The 1st Guards Division decided to continue attacking on two fronts, with Lu Xiangsheng attacking Gaizhou and Cao Wenzhao attacking Jinzhou. In this way, no matter whether Liu Xingzuo surrenders or not, the guards can advance and retreat freely. If Liu Xingzuo can do the internal response, Fuzhou can go down directly, if he still wants to repeat and occupy Gaizhou and Jinzhou in the north and south of Fuzhou, he will also let him surrender if he does not fall.

According to the agreed time, the Guards went into action on September 12. Qi Zuoguo personally led the first battalion of the naval division to transport the first brigade and the second brigade, and the deputy commander Zheng Zhan led the second battalion of the naval division to transport the third brigade.

On the 13th, Lu Xiangsheng landed from Qinghe with the first and second brigades, Liu Xingzuo had already sent people to wait for them here, Lu Xiangsheng led the first brigade to go straight to Gaizhouwei, and the second brigade Du Guangting went straight to Yulinpu.

The defender of Gaizhou is Zhang Yingke, who is Liu Xingzuo's confidant, and he has long had the intention of returning to the south, so as soon as the first brigade arrived in the city, he had already opened the city gate and personally led the Han army to kneel outside the city gate.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Zhang, please get up, please instruct the construction of a slave residence." “

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was so polite, Zhang Yingke first relieved his heart and hurriedly took the guards to Houjin Bing's residence. Gaizhou has a total of two Houjin soldiers with red flags, they live in Gaizhou, and they were originally responsible for monitoring Zhang Yingke, but the Han army has been respectful and fine, and Zhang Yingke is good at supplying wine and meat, so his vigilance is greatly reduced, and he drinks and frolicks in his residence every day, and he doesn't even know that Zhang Yingke went out of the city to surrender.

Houjin Bing lived in the best house in Gaizhou, that is, the original Gaizhou Guardhouse, when Lu Xiangsheng led people to run to the guardhouse, he was discovered by the Houjin Sentinel outside, he shouted, and ran inside. Lu Xiangsheng shot him in the neck with an arrow, and then the guards rushed in.

The Houjin soldiers in the guard were drinking, and they all jumped up after hearing the shouts of the sentry, at this time the guards had rushed in, and the front was the commander of the first brigade, Zhang Zongling, who held the officer's short gun in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. Then he put away his stubble and rushed forward with his sword.

A soldier more than six feet tall rushed towards him with a mace, smashed him with a mace, he flashed to the side, and then the long sword slashed next to the soldier's neck, and a stream of blood came out, splashing on the soldier next to him, and then his eyes turned gray and fell to the ground.

Zhang Zongling smiled proudly, Jiannu is just like this, not much stronger than the southwest native soldiers, at this time the guard next to him shouted: "Brigade commander be careful." But it was the armor soldiers behind who were shooting with heavy arrows.

Zhang Zongling didn't care, looked at the flying arrow, stabbed and turned with his sword, and twisted the arrow shaft, but he didn't pay attention to an arrow flying next to him, which happened to shoot in his leg.

He screamed, and suddenly half-knelt on the ground, looked at the smug Houjin archer, and with a flick of his hand, the sword flew directly in front of the archer, nailing him to the ground.

At this time, more and more Guards soldiers poured in, and from time to time the sound of firecrackers sounded, and after a while, the resistance of the Jin soldiers stopped, and about twenty people remained, and the leading Niu Lu really shouted: "We are willing to surrender." “

Zhang Zongling said angrily: "Kill together." “

The Ezhen shouted, "Then fight." "But how are the bows, arrows, knives, and guns of the Houjin armor soldiers the opponents of the firearms, and soon all the Houjin people fell in a pool of blood.

Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Call the military doctor to come over and take a look at Brigade Commander Zhang's injuries." “

Zhang Zongling grabbed the shaft of the arrow, pumped it hard, and pulled the arrow out. The military doctor hurriedly poured out a bottle of powder and sprinkled it on the wound, and then tied it with a bandage. said: "This powder works very well and can grow well soon, but it may be a little inconvenient to walk in the future." “

Zhang Zongling laughed and said: "What's not convenient, why are you talking so tactfully, isn't it just a lame person?" I'll be a cripple from now on. “

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang is heroic, but you must also pay attention to safety." “

Zhang Zongling lowered his eyebrows and said: "The lesson of the master is that Zongling is too reckless, please punish the teacher." “
