Yue Tuo's face turned pale, he couldn't imagine that Lu Xiangsheng would be so tough, and his kneeling would have no effect at all. Although he said that he was going to enter the city tomorrow for the sake of his kneeling face, in fact, he was not ready at all today. The artillery will be set up tonight, and we will only wait for the attack tomorrow at noon.

He arched his hand in despair, turned back to ride his horse, and in a trance, he missed the stirrup and fell to the ground. Man Gui saw the sympathy on the faces of some of the Guards soldiers, and scolded loudly: "You look at him very pitiful, yes, very pitiful. But do you know how many Han sons and daughters he has killed in the past seven years with the old slave? The emperor said that whoever dares to provoke a war against the Ming Dynasty will be decided by the Ming Dynasty when the war will end. Nurhachi, who is now dying in the city of Shenyang, has slaughtered more than one million Han people in Liaodong with his unwarranted seven hatreds, and such people must be broken and ashes in order to be worthy of the millions of innocent people in Liaodong, and we can only sympathize with the dead compatriots, not the murderers who caused the deaths of our compatriots. Tomorrow will enter Shenyang and slaughter all the Jiannu who dare to resist! ”

The guards shouted in unison: "Kill into Shenyang and slaughter all the Jiannu!" Kill into Shenyang and slaughter all the slaves! Kill into Shenyang and slaughter all the slaves! "Those who were a little sympathetic to Yue Tuo just now even scolded themselves for being confused, and they would actually sympathize with these murderers.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Man Gui with appreciation, although this person didn't read much, he was very discerning, knew how to drive the emotions of the soldiers, and was really a natural general.

Yue Tuo returned to the city with a disgraced face, and said to the expectant eyes of everyone: "They will attack the city at noon tomorrow." ”

The faces of the people were different, some were angry, some were timid, and some were wandering, but they all looked at Dai Shan, waiting for their new khan to express his opinion.

Dai Shan said with a sad face: "The Ming army is so fierce that it doesn't give us any chance at all, how can this be good?" ”

Derge shouted loudly: "If they want to fight, let them fight, our Dajin is not easy to mess with." His elder brother Mang Gurtai died outside Liaoyang City, he always wanted revenge, and when he heard that the Ming army was going to attack Shenyang, he was not surprised and rejoiced.

Azig said: "The Ming army has a kind of artillery, which is extremely powerful, and the siege of the city is ......"

Derge said disdainfully: "Although I did not participate in the battle of Liaoyang, I have seen the artillery of the Ming army before, and Shenyang is such a high city, I don't believe that they can defeat it." ”

Yue Tuo said: "Shenyang's food is already insufficient, and in this way, it may only be able to support it for less than a month." The artillery of the Ming army today is quite different from the previous one, it is no longer a solid iron bullet, and it can explode after landing. Liaoyang we suffered under this kind of artillery attack. ”

Derg was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Can you blow up the city wall?" They can't get into the city, so they can't do anything about us. ”

Yue Tuo shook his head: "If there are enough of them, they can blow up the city wall." ”

The Dergers were silent, and the others fell silent. After a long time, Dai Shan sighed and said, "Let's keep it first, and then withdraw if you can't hold it." ”

Yue Tuo sighed in his heart and said: "If you have such an idea, the city will not be able to hold it, and the city wall will be blown up, and we can fill it up and make up for it." If we can't hold this battle anymore, then it will be in vain where we flee to, and it is better to surrender to the Ming army. ”

Amin was stunned and said, "Surrender, has it come to this point?" ”

Yue Tuo said: "It's useless to fight and escape, the Ming army is chasing and fighting, and our losses will be more serious, so hold on first, and then surrender with conditions, so that you may get some relaxed conditions." ”

Amin said: "No, you can't surrender no matter what. The old Khan just went, you just wanted to surrender, it was only thirteen pairs of armor back then, and the old Khan took us to defeat most of Liaodong, will we be worse than the situation of the old Khan? ”

Yue Tuo said: "Today is different from the past, when the old Khan raised troops, in fact, some generals of the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to it or even connived, so it could develop." Now we have fallen out with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army is always pressing us to fight, and there is no way to do it like back then. ”

Amin said: "What's the difference, our army is still there now, even if we return to Hetuala, we can also have nothing to do with the Ming army." I am willing to take people back to Hetuala, and I am not willing to surrender to the Ming army here. ”

Dolgon stepped forward and said, "I am the son of the Great Khan, and I will not surrender to the Ming army if I die." ”

Speaking of this, Yue Tuo's surrender theory was unanimously condemned by everyone, and finally even Dai Shan said: "Ben Khan must fight to the death with the Ming army, and if he can't fight, he will turn back to Hetuala, and he will not surrender to the Ming army no matter what." ”

Only Du Du and Shuo Tuo did not speak. Du Du is Yue Tuo has discussed the current situation with him, and understands that he can only surrender to the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty can allow the Jurchens to return to Jianzhou, so that there may be a chance to make a comeback. And Shuotuo felt that it was better to surrender, and he could become the commander of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but he didn't expect that he would let him lead the Jurchens if he didn't have an inch of success.

So the final response was to hold Shenyang first, return to Hetuara in case something went wrong, and if it didn't work, go northeast, in short, not surrender to the Ming.

After Shuotuo returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned Yang San and said, "Tomorrow night, I will open the west gate and ask Yang to inform you of the army." ”

After the two discussed the time and signal, Yang San left Shuotuo Mansion. Coming to Fan Wencheng's mansion, Fan Wencheng said: "Tomorrow, the villain will open the city gate at the east gate to welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city to atone for the villain's sins." ”

Yang Sandao: "Since we have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, there is no need to say anything about atonement, in the future, everyone will be ministers in the same hall and serve the power of the Ming Dynasty together." Today, Brother Fan has made a meritorious service, Yang San will report the credit in detail, and the court will naturally have a reward. ”

After the two made an appointment with the time signal, Yang San discussed the details with his companion, and then took advantage of the night to climb out of the city wall and return to the Ming army camp to find Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng asked, "Which side do you think is more reliable?" ”

Yang San replied: "From the point of view of the lower officials, there are sufficient reasons for both sides to surrender, and the trees are scattered, but that's all." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The matter is said thoroughly, then tomorrow we will hit the south gate first, and when it is evening, we will divide two troops into two units to go to the east gate and the west gate respectively, led by me and General Man." Adjutant, summon the generals above the battalion commander to the big tent, and we will discuss the rest of the line. ”

After the officers entered the account, Lu Xiangsheng took out a structural map of Shenyang City, hung it in front and said: "Brothers, tomorrow we will enter the city from the east gate and the west gate. ”
