It was really Pingnan Hou Chen Yue who brought himself and the others over! Listening to the conversation between Chen Yue and his subordinates, Zhang Yingxiang, Chang Deng and others were shocked. And the content of the conversation made them even more shocked.

"Master Hou, Director Qian also reported that thousands of war horses escaped from the flood, were captured by the people, and have been sent to Yangzhou. There were also a small number of Manchu Tartars who escaped from the flood by relying on war horses, and a small number of Manchu soldiers were found in various parts of Guazhou, and Qian had already sent defenders to encircle and suppress these people.

In addition, after the flood receded, the Qing soldiers outside Yangzhou City left hundreds of artillery, including more than 40 red-coated cannons, and a large number of armor weapons sunk in the soil, Yangzhou Government mobilized the people in the city to dig out of the city. ”

The previous voice continued.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to tell me about these things, just let Qian Fenglin deal with it himself. Tell Qian Fenglin that you must pay attention to the search for the corpse of the Mantou Tartar when you bury it, and you must find the body of the Mantou Duoduo! The clear voice rose again, and Chen Yue said impatiently.

"Yes!" The voice agreed, and then stopped talking.

"By the way, where are the reinforcements from Fujian and Zhejiang?" Chen Yue continued to ask.

"Back to Hou Ye, 100,000 Fujian soldiers have passed Xianxia Pass, and 150,000 Zhejiang soldiers have left Zhenjiang, and they will arrive in Wuhu in a few days." Another voice replied.

At this time, Zhang Yingxiang, Chang Deng and others were surging in their hearts, and they were simply shocked and depressed.

It turned out that the 100,000 army of Prince Yu outside Yangzhou City was really defeated by the Ming army, and the 100,000 army was buried in the flood! It turns out that everything that is rumored to be true!

Prince Yu's army was annihilated, and the Azig army was blocked in Wuhu, and the Ming Dynasty gathered all the troops to attack. In addition, the naval division had just been defeated, and the Qing army on the Western Road could not please the Ming army. Even if he remains in the Qing army queue and is not captured, it is estimated that he will not end well!

"Master Hou, what should you do with these people?" Another voice sounded, which made Zhang Yingxiang and the others feel proud.

"Bring them here!" Chen Yue's clear voice sounded, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers rushed over, and one by one dragged Zhang Yingxiang and others from the door of the tent to the center of the tent.

Zhang Yingxiang looked up and saw a young man in a blue python robe sitting behind the handsome case, with a handsome face, eyebrows and sideburns, and a pair of eyes that shot a shining light, penetrating into people's hearts. As soon as he saw these eyes, Zhang Yingxiang felt a tremor in his heart, and he involuntarily lowered his head.

"Zhang Yingxiang and Chang Deng, so the chief military officer under Zuo Liangyu, Marquis of Ningnan, Zhao Dakui, Sun Feng, Niu Ping, and Zuo Liangyu's deputy generals, as generals of the Ming Dynasty, did not want to serve the country and kill the enemy loyally, but led the troops to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, broke the Jiujiang River and attacked Wuhu, he was really disloyal, unjust, and shameless treason, and he should be executed by a thousand knives!"

Chen Yue's words were murderous, and his cold words penetrated everyone's hearts, scaring everyone's souls. Ling Chi! Several lieutenants were paralyzed on the ground in fright.

"Master Hou, I'm waiting for the wrong!" Zhang Yingxiang fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

"Wronged!" The others also shouted their grievances.

"Wronged? Didn't you surrender to the Manchus and turn your head and raise your butcher's knife at the Ming Dynasty? Chen Yue snorted coldly.

"Master Hou, we have no choice but to do it, they are all forced by Zuo Mengeng and Li Guoying, if we don't surrender, we will definitely not be able to live." Zhang Yingxiang looked pitiful and desperately shirked his responsibility.

However, Chen Yue didn't pay attention to them, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Wei Yang next to him handed over a stack of papers, Chen Yue checked it and took out a few from it.

"Whether you are forced or wronged, since you have done such a thing, you naturally can't escape the treatment of national law, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, defection is equivalent to rebellion, it is a heinous crime, and it is even the three clans.

Zhang Yingxiang, you are from Fengyang Mansion, you live in Yingshang County, you still have an old father and two elder brothers in your family, and two nephews are in the army, leading your family, and they were all captured in this battle. Now that Duoduo's 100,000 troops have been annihilated, Bolo has fled north in a hurry with more than a thousand remnants, Fengyang Mansion has been recovered, and the imperial court will soon send a messenger to Yingshang to capture your family! ”

"Ahh Zhang Yingxiang trembled when he heard this, according to Chen Yue's words, their Zhang family would be wiped out.

"Chang Deng, a native of Lu'an, Luzhou, has both parents and no brothers, but two older sisters married to the countryside and have a number of children, one of whom is now serving in your army. And you have two sons, the eldest is ten years old and the younger is half a year old, and they are placed in Lu'an's hometown. ”

Chen Yue's cold words sounded one after another, telling the situation of the people in the tent one by one, and everyone trembled when they heard it, and they collapsed on the ground like sifting chaff. These pieces of information were collected one after another after Liu Neng was sent to Wuchang, and when he retreated from Jiujiang, he specially ordered people to pass it on to Wuhu through Nanchang. Zuo Liangyu's officers above the rank of deputy general in the army were all checked by Liu Neng.

When you are a soldier and fight, and you are not a baseless homeless army like the Shun army, how can you march with your family. The families of the generals were also placed in various places and did not follow the army. For example, Zuo Liangyu's original family was placed in Xuzhou, and later the Xuzhou mutiny, except for Zuo Mengeng, who was with him, Zuo Liangyu's other family members were all killed.

And with the rout of the Qing army, the families of these people will be in the hands of the imperial court, think about what will happen to their families, how can these people not be frightened?

"Master Hou, please be gracious! The sins committed by the villain are willing to bear by themselves, whether to kill or scrape and let the Hou Ye fall, begging to let my family go. ”

Zhang Yingxiang and others knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic. However, Chen Yue just looked at them coldly and did not speak.

Zhang Yingxiang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly it suddenly dawned in his heart, if Chen Yue really planned to punish the crime and directly send someone to kill them, and then arrest their families, why bother Baal to bring them to the account?

"Master Hou, as long as you can let me and other family members go, you can just say what you want us to do, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and go to the soup and the fire!" Zhang Yingxiang straightened up and looked directly at Chen Yue.

The others also understood, and followed Zhang Yingxiang behind him. For them, as long as they and their families don't die, they are willing to do anything, and they are also some big soldiers, who can only fight, even if Chen Yue does not threaten them, they have no resistance to surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.

"In that case, I'll just say it." Chen Yue nodded, appreciating Zhang Yingxiang's quick response, "According to your sins, you can't easily forgive, unless you make great contributions, you and your family's sins can be washed away!" ”

"Dare to ask Master Hou, what do you want me to wait for?" Hearing that Chen Yue said so seriously, Zhang Yingxiang asked cautiously.

"Go back to the Qing army camp, for the sake of internal response, and help Benhou destroy these 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers, this is the only choice for you!" Chen Yue's words sounded like thunder in the ears of several people.
