XXXVIII. Xu Dynasty wants to surrender

Under such circumstances, subtle changes have taken place within the rebels, for example, Liu Dongyang has a different mood in his heart - if he hadn't been encouraged by Bibai, he should still be his comfortable soldier leader now, although he has no status, but he has enough money and food, he has a good life, and there is a group of younger brothers, everyone has a fun time when they are fine, and they run when they have something, and it is actually quite easy to mix with their stomachs.

And now, named Zongbing, but besieged by the imperial army, vowed to kill him, a good Han soldier actually joined the rebels, not only for the descendants to laugh, their own lives must not be saved, parents and family members will definitely suffer.

Although the person who said these words was blown up before, these words may not have had an impact on Liu Dongyang's psychology, and the emotion called regret gradually affected Liu Dongyang, and Liu Dongyang gradually developed resentment for Bibai.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Liu Dongyang and Bibai once again made joint efforts, sending Tu Wenxiu and Xu Chao to lead eight hundred elite horse teams from the north gate to rush out of the city to the grassland to seek help from the grassland tribes.

Also blame them for their bad luck, before, the prison Mei Guozhen listened to Xiao Ruxun's evaluation of Ma Gui, plus the rumors of "East Li Xi Ma" that he had heard before, he became interested in Ma Gui, and he was inspecting the army in the Ma Gui camp at that time, and when he heard that the enemy army was coming, he immediately shook his spirit and raised his sword and got on the horse.

He was very excited to lead the horse team of the Ma Gui Department and the firearms battalion of Wang Hui's department to intercept, in the face of a strong enemy, Mei Guozhen, who was born as a civilian official, was not afraid at all, and calmly shot seven or eight rebels in a row with a bow and arrows, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army.

Then, the 800 horse team was beaten by the Ming army's muskets and artillery after the people on their backs and horses were defeated into an army, Ma Gui and the guerrilla general Xiao Ruhui personally led the troops to fight with Tuwenxiu Xu Chao, in order to give Mei Guozhen a better impression, they all had a dead force, a meal of anger, and forced the 800 horse team to only leave more than 300 people in embarrassment and fled, the rebels at the head of the city hurriedly sent artillery to cover, Ma Gui then led the troops to retreat, the Ming army won another victory, beheaded four hundred and seven, was determined by Mei Guozhen on the spot, reward!

Tu Wenxiu was cut off by Ma Gui and almost unloaded, Xu Chao was simply cut off one of his ears by Xiao Ruhui, and fled in embarrassment, and at this moment, the horse team in the city was less than two thousand.

This defeat intensified the contradiction between the Bibai group and Liu Dongyang group, Liu Dongyang angrily reprimanded Tu Wenxiu for not being useful, and wanted to kill him with the heart of the army, Bibai and Bi Chengen were furious, and Liu Dongyang defended the fact that Xu Chao was cowering in battle, and wanted to kill Xu Chao with the heart of the army, the two faced each other, almost tearing their faces, and in the end, it was Zhou Guozhu and Bi Chengpet and the mud that found a scapegoat to kill, which reluctantly dissuaded Bibai and Liu Dongyang.

But after this confrontation, it is almost only a matter of time before the two people and the two groups break down, and both sides are intensively preparing for the next move, such as Liu Dongyang has the heart to surrender, and Bibai has to find a way to rush out of the city to find foreign help to rescue him no matter what.

They all ignored a problem - after the 3,000 horse team of the Rabbit Department was almost wiped out by Xiao Ruxun, the hundreds of horsemen who returned to the grassland spread the legend of the thunder descending in shock, which made the captives fear the civil war of the Ming Dynasty.

For a while, several tribes that were eager to try were all settled, and no one could not think about the footsteps of the Rabbit Division, and then suddenly gathered their eyes to other places - they looked at the Rabbit Division, which was greatly damaged in strength and abundant water and grass, and had other thoughts......

Soon, the Rabbit Division entered a state of war with the rest of the tribes, and the men and horses were lost.

The foreign aid that had high hopes actually started a civil war! How can Bibai not vomit blood?

That night, Xu Chao secretly came to Liu Dongyang, and the two old comrades-in-arms discussed it in Liu Dongyang's secret room.

"The current situation, the city is surrounded on all sides, Bibai has repeatedly failed to break through the siege, he is now difficult to protect himself, but he wants to pull you and my brother to accompany him to the funeral, we should not do this kind of loss-making business, we are still the Ming military household, if the city surrenders, say that we are bewitched by the worship of the family, and sacrifice the heads of the father and son of the Bi family, you and I may not be able to live!"

Xu Chao tried his best to persuade the wavering Liu Dongyang.

Liu Dongyang was still a little hesitant.

"I heard that the imperial court has issued a reward for you and my brother, isn't the imperial court going to kill us? If we surrender, will we survive? ”

"You can't say that, the court just wants to make a gesture and not let others betray again, this rebellion was originally proposed by Bibai, you and I are just being bewitched, to be honest, you and my brother can even be regarded as being coerced and served! When the time comes, we kill the father and son of the Bi family, pour dirty water on them, saying that they killed Dang Xin and Zhang Weizhong in front of us, and forced us to rebel together, we are just forced to have no choice, and the court will not investigate deeply. ”

Xu Chao carefully analyzed.

Liu Dongyang frowned and hesitated: "Is this really the case? Will the court allow us to surrender without holding us accountable for what we have done? It's not just Dang Xin and Zhang Weizhong! Princess Qing has been forced to death by us! Wang Shizi is still missing. ”

Xu Chao thought for a while, and felt that he also needed to confirm whether the imperial court really didn't care about this rebellion, so he said: "Otherwise, I will hide my worship and secretly send someone out of the city to ask Wei Xuezeng, if he agrees, we will ask for his handwriting, allowing us to surrender and forgive our sins, in that case, we will open the city and surrender." ”

Liu Dongyang narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly exhaled.

"Okay, you go and do this, as long as it is done, you and I brothers can enjoy the glory and wealth calmly!"

At midnight that day, an envoy of the Xu Dynasty was sent down by a basket from the city tower and sneaked into the camp of the Ming army at night.

Wei Xuezeng was worried about thinking about the strategy of breaking the city all night, and did not sleep, when he suddenly found that the captain of the pro-army came in with a strange look to spread the word that there was a lewd man sneaking outside the camp and was captured by the night guards, and then claimed to be a confidant of Xu Chao, and came to ask to see the governor.

Xu Chao?

Wei Xuezeng's tiredness and drowsiness were suddenly swept away, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly said, "Bring him to see Bendu immediately!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier immediately nodded in agreement, and was suddenly stopped by Wei Xuezeng, only to see Wei Xuezeng's solemn expression: "Don't alarm anyone else, secretly bring it to see Bendu!" ”

"No!"

The captain of the pro-soldier turned and left.

Wei Xuezeng immediately realized that the key point to break the game may be right in front of him! If it is handled properly, Ningxia City will be obtained without much effort, and not only will it save trouble, but it will also save countless killings! So he straightened his clothes and sat down in the tent, and after a while, several guards appeared in the tent with an obscene man with his hands tied behind his back, and as soon as the man entered the tent, his eyes were spinning around, and he looked ill-intentioned.

"You are a cronie of the traitor Xu Chao?"

Wei Xuezeng asked.

"Governor Wei, you are a traitor, and you have ruined the kindness of my general, if you say this about my general, and treat my general like this, then the purpose of the villain's visit this time is completely gone, and my general's heart is cold, how can he do things for the governor?"

This man actually put on an arrogant look, Wei Xuezeng was angry, and slapped the table: "Presumptuous!" The two armies are fighting without slashing, but the rebels are not included! The rebellious messenger, Ben Du can kill him! is just rebellious, how dare you be so arrogant! Publicity! Push it out! Behead this man and Bendo! ”
