"You are also an earl, the chief officer, why do you still like to be in front of all battles? As a general, it is your duty to command battles! ”

Chen Yue frowned, looked at Jin Xin, who was covered in blood, and couldn't help but scold.

Jin Xin smiled, touched the blood on his face casually, and invited Chen Yue to enter the city.

Ye County is the capital of Laizhou, Jiaodong Dayi, both in size and population, much more than Jiaozhou. There were 100,000 people in the whole city, and when Chen Yue entered the city, the last resistance of the green battalion soldiers was also suppressed, and the entire city was under the control of the Ming army.

Two or three thousand of the green battalion soldiers in the city were killed, and many of them either fled to Dengzhou or fled west in the direction of Qingzhou, and there were as many as 10,000 green battalion soldiers who surrendered.

To the east of Laizhou is Dengzhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion is full of hills, far less rich and populous than the plains, so the supply of the green battalion soldiers in Dengzhou is basically hoarded in Laizhou, and there are more than 300,000 quintals of grain in the county seat, and there is a team transporting grain every day to transport grain to Dengzhou, which is more than 100 miles away, which is also the reason why Hong Chengchou left more than 20,000 troops in Ye County when he left.

And now, Ye County, the capital of Laizhou, which has an army of 20,000, has been taken by Jin Xin with 3,000 people, and the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass hoarded have all fallen into the hands of the Ming army. Even if the army does not move, it will not take many days, and the more than 100,000 troops of Tang Tong Bai Guangen in Dengzhou will also fall into chaos because of the lack of food. It was simply impossible to supply so many troops by plundering the countryside of Dengzhou.

In Chen Yue's opinion, no matter how strong the green battalion is, there are more than 100,000 people, if Tang Tong and Bai Guangen can surrender, it is much stronger than attacking and fighting without blood.

At this time, presumably Li Gouzi had already arrived in Tang Tong's army and told Tang Tong what he meant, and Chen Yue waited for Tang Tong to make a decision.

Therefore, Chen Yue ordered to repair in Ye County for two days, collect and dispose of the more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers who surrendered, and at the same time sent people to send a letter to Wu Ping in Dengzhou by sea.

In the south of Dengzhou City, more than ten miles away from the city wall, a continuous camp was set up on the hills, and the green flag of the Qing army fluttered above the camp. The camp stretched for dozens of miles, blocking the passage between the hills, and also blocking the path of Dengzhou from the land to the outside, and enclosing Dengzhou, a city by the sea.

Hong Chengchou left Dengzhou with more than half of his troops and rushed to Jinan to deal with the main force of the Ming army of the Northern Expedition, while the remaining Tang Tong and Bai Guangen still had 150,000 or 60,000 troops, although most of them were newly surrendered and reorganized green battalion soldiers.

The experienced Hong Chengchou was afraid that the Dengzhou soldiers would pursue and did not dare to retreat as a whole, and he was even more afraid that the main forces of the Dengzhou Army and the Ming Army of the Northern Expedition would converge and increase their strength, so he did not hesitate to leave more than 100,000 green battalions to continue to deter Dengzhou.

However, when the main force of the Green Battalion was renewed, it was impossible to take Dengzhou for several months, and it was even more delusional to rely on Tang Tong and Bai Guangen alone.

And Tang Tong and Bai Guangen naturally understood this truth, but they were guarding outside Dengzhou City, and they didn't have the intention of attacking the city at all. Anyway, the food in Laizhou Mansion is enough for the army to eat for a long time, as long as it lasts until it snows, the Ming army in Dengzhou cannot pursue, and they can retreat to Laizhou for wintering.

In recent years, the weather has become colder and colder, and it is only November, which is already so cold that people can't stand it, and the green battalion soldiers are huddled in the camp tent and shivering, and no one has the heart to fight. Fortunately, the Ming army in Dengzhou City also had no desire to fight, and the green battalion soldiers did not attack the city, and they did not go out of the city to attack, and the two sides were at peace.

The wartime in Jiaozhou had already arrived, but it was only the news that a Ming army fleet of more than 10,000 people had arrived in Jiaozhou Bay. At first, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen didn't care, it was just a Ming army of 10,000 people, Jiaozhou had more than 10,000 troops of Guo Hu, and there were more than 20,000 green battalion soldiers in Ye County, and it was probably difficult for this more than 10,000 Ming army to fight in Dengzhou. But why didn't the Ming fleet come directly to Dengzhou, and had to go ashore in Jiaozhou?

At first, Tang Tong couldn't figure out this problem, but now he doesn't have to think about it, because Li Gouzi of Pingdu Prefecture fled back here over the mountains and mountains, bringing the news that Chen Yue, the king of Qi, led his troops to attack Jiaodong.

After listening to Li Gouzi's report, Tang Tong immediately asked people to invite Bai Guangen and began to discuss countermeasures, but who knew that what was waiting for was Bai Guangen, who was dejected, and the first sentence made Tang Tong frightened.

"Ye County is lost!" Bai Guangen said with a gloomy face, his camp is located in the southwest of Dengzhou, and he came to find Tang Tong as soon as he learned about the news of the defeated soldiers in Laizhou.

"Ye County is lost, doesn't that mean ......" Tang Tong's face turned pale, the shock brought to him by this news was even greater than hearing that Chen Yue led troops to attack Jiaodong, Li Gouzi just came to report that Chen Yue had hit Pingdu Prefecture, but he didn't expect that even Ye County was lost now. Chen Yue's attack power is so fast and fierce!

"Our grain and grass are all gone, and now the grain and grass in the camp are less than ten days!" Bai Guangen said.

There are 70,000 Ming troops in Dengzhou in front of them, and Ye County behind them has been captured by the army of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, and more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers have lost all the enemy's food and grass on their backs, and they have reached the end of the road!

"Bastard, there are 20,000 troops in Ye County, all of whom are under your surname Bai. The surname is white, are all your subordinates rice buckets? It's just that 20,000 people can't hold Ye County, and they can't even hold it for a day! Tang Tong suddenly became furious, pointing at Bai Guangen's nose and scolding.

Bai Guangen's face was pale when he was scolded, but he couldn't refute it, because this is the case.

"Old Tang, don't be in a hurry to scold me, think about what we should do, right?" Bai Guangen hung his head and said.

"What can I do, what can I do, look at it, this is a letter sent to me by Chen Yue." Tang Tong said and threw the letter on Bai Guangen.

Bai Guangen's face was ugly: "Old Tang, do you have to humiliate Lao Tzu, don't you know that Lao Tzu doesn't know a word!" ”

"Alas, I'm confused," Tang Tong patted his head, picked up the letter from the ground, and began to read it to Bai Guangen.

Bai Guangen was silent for a moment after hearing this: "What do you think about this matter, Old Tang?" ”

"What else can we think, is there any other way out for us than to surrender?" Tang Tong sighed.

"But old Tang, you have to understand, although we had some friendship with Chen Yue at the beginning, but after all these years, that friendship can still be used as a fart!

Over the years, we first surrendered to Li Chuang, then to the Manchu Qing, and now at the end of the road and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again, you say, with Chen Yue's jealous and hateful character, will he detour us? “

"But Chen Yue said in his heart, as long as we surrender, he will give us a way to live." Tang Tong raised the letter and said, "Lao Bai, are you reluctant to reward your prince from the Manchu court!" ”

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were both crowned kings by the Manchu Qing Dynasty some time ago, one was the king of Dongping and the other was the king of Dongning.

"Maybe I will live, but I can't think of the power I have now! Chen Yue may give you and me a false position without power, let us retire, and then take over all our army.

Old Tang, you're right, I just can't bear the current glory and wealth. If you have held power for a long time, if you lose it all in an instant, even if you can live, it is better to die! “

Tang Tong shook his head: "It's better to die than to live, besides, do we have any other choice?" ”

"Yes!" Bai Guangen stared at his red eyes, "We still have a way to keep our current glory and wealth!" ”(https:)
