After the first day of bloody fighting, Qingzhou and outside calmed down again.

The Qing army did not continue to attack the city, but Zhao Yingyuan, who got a respite, did not have the slightest joy, he knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the next attack was very likely to be a hammer deal.

In yesterday's battle, the Qing army lost 2,000 deaths, but the losses of the Zhao army were even heavier, such a fierce attack, and the Qing army under him, as long as it lasted three more days, the blood of the Zhao army would be drained.

Why He Tuo stopped, this is no longer important to Zhao Yingyuan.

Although Wang Yan selected more than 2,000 people from the young and strong in the city to replenish the Zhao army, the loss of equipment could not be made up, and Zhao Yingyuan had lost confidence in defending Qingzhou.

Zhao Yingyuan was depressed in the first half of his life, and the second half of his life was wandering around, like a lost dog, and finally came to run this year, with Li Chuang's attack on Gyeonggi, his identity changed from a rogue to a Ming Dynasty to earn orthodox Dashun official army, but unfortunately he didn't have time to enjoy the dividends of change, and was shocked to hear that the world suddenly changed, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and his place of conferral fell into the hands of the enemy.

From the big man who sat on one side, he changed back to the grass coward who flowed between Lu and Yu, and in a few months, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there was no food and grass, and he almost fell into a desperate situation.

But at this time, he got the big city of Qingzhou in Shandong, and thought that he could establish a meritorious career because of this, and since then he has been crowned with his wife and son, and has enjoyed all the wealth and glory, but in the blink of an eye, he fell into the siege of the Qing army and became a trapped beast in a cage, waiting to be slaughtered.

In the past few months, he has experienced several ups and downs, and after hoping again and again, he is always a huge disappointment, and he does not believe in the destiny of heaven, and he can't help but think that his failure may really be God's arrangement, which is not confused in his year, the blow can be imagined.

Wang Yan's countermeasures for him will take time, and the Qing army outside the city will obviously not sit and wait forever, Zhao Yingyuan and his Zhao army, the final outcome is only in these few days, and the results that he is about to face make him depressed for a while.

Several ups and downs, several failures, seem to have exhausted Zhao Yingyuan's ambition, and it also makes people see his essence clearly, but he is just a person with great ambition and talent.

Today, at the end of the day, Zhao Yingyuan got up from Xinna's concubine, and then he didn't care about the defense of Qingzhou, and drank alone.

But just when he was about to get drunk, Han Zhaoxuan broke in, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel more confident, he ignored Zhao Yingyuan's angry eyes, and instead smiled: "Is the general sitting and waiting for death?" ”

Zhao Yingyuan had already ordered that no one should be seen today, and now that Han Zhaoxuan not only broke in, but also mentioned his sadness, he was immediately furious, overturned the wine and food on the table, picked up the long knife on the side, pointed at Han Zhaoxuan and glared angrily: "Are you laughing at the general?" Do you think the sword is not good? ”

Han Zhaoxuan originally wanted to come up with a trick that Su Qin said, but he didn't want Zhao Yingyuan to cooperate at all, but wanted to kill him, but he was immediately frightened, knowing that he had played it, he hurriedly explained: "I will never dare to laugh at the general!" I'm here to save the general's life! ”

"Save my life?" Although Zhao Yingyuan drank a lot of wine, his mind was very sober, and he knew that Han Zhaoxuan would not be so bored that he would find death, so he slapped the knife in front of the table. "Today, if you can't say that you are ugly, I will let you taste my treasure sword, what is it!"

Although Zhao Yingyuan has a fierce temperament, he usually treats scholars and civil officials well, but now the situation makes him desperate, so he becomes angry.

"How dare you deceive the general!" When Han Zhaoxuan saw the long knife, he couldn't help but shudder, he didn't dare to sell anything more, and hurriedly explained. "Bring a guest to the general, he can solve the general's doubts and save Qingzhou from fire and water!"

"Oh?" Although Zhao Yingyuan was a little puzzled, he had calmed down at this time, so he still decided to meet him. "Where are the people, you can bring them to see, if it is reasonable, Ben Jiang will no longer care about your sins of Meng Lang today, if what he said is unreasonable, then Hugh will blame Ben Jiang for being ruthless!"

"The man is outside the ya, and he will be brought in below."

A moment later, a figure was brought into the house by Han Zhaoxuan, and he was stunned that it was the traitor Li Shiyuan, who was supposed to be in the camp outside the city.

"Li Shiyuan, who was guarding Qingzhou in the Qing Dynasty, has seen General Zhao!"

After Li Shiyuan came in, he went straight to the point and directly reported his whereabouts, which surprised Zhao Yingyuan for a while.

In Zhao Yingyuan's mind, he seems to have nothing to talk about with the Qing court, and if he kills the minister of Shandong Zhaofu of the Qing court, the Qing court will definitely hate him to the bone.

If he has a strong power in his hands, then the Qing court may still talk to him regardless of his previous suspicions, but now that the situation is in the hands of the Qing army, Qingzhou is already in the pocket of the Qing army, and he is also a fish on the board, and he can be killed directly, so what else can we talk about.

"I wonder why Master Li is here?" At that moment, Zhao Yingyuan stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Shiyuan and Han Zhaoxuan to sit down, and then asked suspiciously.

Li Shiyuan sat down calmly, waved his hand to gently brush off the dust on his body, and then looked at Zhao Yingyuan and smiled slightly: "I am here to save the general's life!" ”

Han Zhaoxuan said this, Zhao Yingyuan only thought that he was ashamed of his words, it was a joke, but Li Shiyuan said this, it was not the same thing at all, Zhao Yingyuan suddenly became serious and said what he thought in his heart. "Lord Li wants me to return to the Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Li Shiyuan smiled with satisfaction and continued: "As long as the Zhao army will return to the Qing Dynasty, not only can he save his subordinates, but he will also be promoted to the rank of knight!" ”

The Qing court not only did not punish severely, but also had a reward, which Zhao Yingyuan was already moved, but he felt that it was too unreal, he was not confused, he had a lot of experience, and he would not believe that pie would fall from the sky, so he said cautiously. "I killed Wang Aoyong, and destroyed the foundation of the Qing Dynasty in Shandong, and I felt that I had a deep grudge against the Qing army, why did the Qing Dynasty appease me?"

"The general is overthinking!" Li Shiyuan keenly sensed his mentality from Zhao Yingyuan's words, he didn't say Manchu, not Manchuria, but the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, obviously already moved, he smiled immediately. "The Qing Dynasty is invincible, but it is a foreign race to unify China, with a small clan to control the big clan, the strength is limited, if you want to dominate the world in the future, there is no shortage of Han soldiers, and yesterday's battle, the general has proved the strength of the Zhao army, for a strong army, the Qing Dynasty naturally needs to be wooed!"

"As for Wang Aoyong's matter, the general doesn't have to worry!" Li Shiyuan paused slightly, and said the words that were convenient for discussing with Toto last night. "The matter of Qingzhou, the regent does not know in detail, I can let the governor go to the book again, saying that Wang Ao will always abuse the people and be punished, and the head has already been subdued, and now the general will return to the Qing Dynasty with the whole city, and he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, and it is not a problem to wait like Jiang Jiu!"

"Is what Master Li said true?" The temptation of Feng Hou for Zhao Yingyuan is very great, if it is really as Li Shiyuan said, he can not only save his life, but also get a further reward, Tou Qing is undoubtedly the best choice in his heart, and the risk is much lower than that of being trapped in Qingzhou.

"Haha~ Naturally, take it seriously!" Li Shiyuan continued. "If the general doesn't believe it, tonight he will hold a banquet on the north gate of the city, and both sides will bring their armor soldiers to go, and General Hetuo is willing to swear to the sky with you and agree on surrender."

There is the chief general of the Qing army, Zhen Manchuria and Tuo came forward as a guarantee, Zhao Yingyuan has no doubt about it, and at the moment, the two parties agreed on the evening, and Li Shiyuan made it easy for Han Zhaoxuan to withdraw from the room.

After the people left, Zhao Yingyuan was quite excited in his heart, and the decadent atmosphere was swept away, in order to surrender smoothly, he secretly contacted his henchmen, and relieved Wang Yan's military power, so he summoned everyone to explain the matter of surrendering.

Qingzhou had been captured by the Qing army once before, and the gentry did not dare to oppose even if they were unwilling, Yang Wangxiu sat gloomy and did not say a word, and the generals of the Zhao army were all Zhao Yingyuan's henchmen, and they had been ventilated in advance, only Wang Yan's face turned pale when he heard it.

Nowadays, ordinary people have not yet formed an obvious probability of a country and nation, and the Qing court has not leaked out the fierce side, after entering the customs, a large number of Han people have been used to surrender their vassals, and with the assistance of the big traitor Hong Chengchou, even the tax burden has been reduced and reduced, which has stabilized the situation of the Qing court in the north, which is why the north did not resist too fiercely at first.

Barbarians are not terrible, barbarians who know how to buy people's hearts and have the skills to rule are terrible, and they are the henchmen of my Han people!

The Qingzhou garrison was in the hands of Zhao Yingyuan, and the matter of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was not questioned by others at all, and soon Wang Yan, Liu Shun and other more than 200 other people who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty were taken by the Zhao army, about the camp.

At night, the north gate upstairs is full of wine.

Hetuo and Li Shutai and others brought a hundred real Manchuria, and sure enough, they came to the banquet, and there were more than 1,000 Zhao troops in the city, who could support the city tower at any time, and Zhao Yingyuan was not afraid of the Qing army's deception at all.

Hetuo and many generals of the Qing army were able to come to the city tower controlled by Zhao Jun to attend the banquet, so that Zhao Yingyuan completely dispelled all the doubts in his heart, and everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp during the banquet, and they were harmonious.

In the city, Wang Yan, Liu Shun and others were locked up in the camp and restrained by the guarding Zhao army.

Zhao Yingyuan seized Qingzhou and raised the banner of anti-Qing righteousness, Liu Shun wanted to work hard for Zhao Yingyuan, but he didn't expect him to surrender to the Qing court, Liu Shun was naturally angry in his heart, since he was taken down, after knowing the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, he scolded more than once!

Many people in the camp also followed him, scolding Zhao Yingyuan, Yang Wangxiu and others, among which Qian Yifeng, a local talent in Qingzhou, was the most intense.

Compared with them, Wang Yan seemed unusually quiet, not that he didn't hate Zhao Yingyuan, but that this time it hit him too hard.

He was bent on assisting Zhao Yingyuan in resisting the Qing army, blocking the Qing army's southward movement, and buying time for the south to regroup, but he still failed.

He couldn't help but wonder if everything was predestined, and the picture he saw in his dream was fate, destiny, a future that could not be changed, and such thoughts tormented him and made him unable to cheer up.

The scolding in the camp continued, and Zhao Yingyuan couldn't hear it, but it slowly made Wang Yan sober up, "It's just that after this defeat, do you have to give up?" Heaven will not let people see the picture of the future for no reason, this is the sages of the Han Dynasty are warning the world to change everything that will happen. ”

Wang Yan didn't want to give up, and he couldn't give up, he had to change the fate of Da Ming, so he barely cheered up and thought about how to escape from here, but at this moment, he was suddenly stunned in his heart.

The city defense of Qingzhou was arranged by him personally, there was a large army patrolling the city, and the four gates were guarded day and night, and the Qing army could not enter the city at all, so how did Li Shiyuan enter Qingzhou? Don't??
