Liaocheng, Dongchang Mansion, after getting the five red-coated cannons and ten Franc machine cannons brought by Jin Shenghuan, the Yuyuan army was more imposing, relying on the power of the red-clothed cannons, blasted open the city wall of Liaocheng, fifty or sixty thousand Yuyuan troops poured into the city, and the defenders in the city were already less than three thousand people It was difficult to resist, and the defender Wang Zhigang hurriedly led more than 100 remnants to flee, and the Yuyuan army was able to capture Liaocheng.

"This time to capture Liaocheng, thanks to General Cao's great help, my Yuyuan army of more than 100,000 horses, has already been to the imperial court, these years General Cao has been as kind to us as the sea, if it weren't for General Cao's help, I'm afraid that half of our hundreds of thousands of people would have starved to death, today since General Cao's people have arrived, you all say, what should we do?"

In the Liaocheng Mansion, Liang Min, the leader of the Yuyuan Army, also said in public, and his intentions were already self-evident.

"We are willing to follow General Cao......"

"Yes, General Cao has the grace of regeneration for us, and we swear to follow General Cao to the death."

The soldiers below shouted one after another, they were all willing to submit to Cao Bianjiao, and the Yuyuan army had a famine in the past year, and it was Cao Bianjiao who urgently dispatched twenty boats of grain from Jiangnan Caoyun to them, so they survived the crisis, and these people knew it, so they were grateful to Cao Bianjiao.

"General Jin is General Cao's favorite general, we have been attacking the city for more than half a month, but we have not been able to take Liaocheng, if it is not for General Jin's full help, we don't know how long we will have to wait, so my proposal is, we are all subject to General Jin's dispatch for the time being, the Qing army will come soon, we must unify the order, what do you think?"

"Good! Okay......" everyone applauded.

Jin Shenghuan also took the lead, stood up and said: "Thanks to all the brothers of the Yuyuan Army who do not give up, then I Jin Shenghuan will be presumptuous, now the Qing army has entered the boundary of Shandong, the land of Liaocheng, through the north and south, east and west, is the west gate of Shandong, and it is also an important place connecting Hebei, Shandong and even Henan, so this place must not be lost, since everyone regards me Jin Shenghuan as the main general, then I will not shirk, the most important thing at the moment is to repair the city defense, reorganize the army, and wait for the arrival of the Qing army, no matter how many men and horses they come, We can't let them get away with it! ”

"General Jin, rest assured, our brothers of the Yuyuan Army may not be as good as your officers and soldiers in the war, but they are loyal and courageous, and this will never lose to you, now I will take people to repair the city defense, and we will also mobilize the 150,000 people of Liaocheng, so that they can also move, fight against the Qing army with us, and defend Liaocheng to the death."

"Then there is General Lao Liang, the placement of the Yuyuan army, the general will definitely decide as soon as possible, and then will inevitably give you a proper resettlement method, at the moment the most important thing for us is to deal with the Qing court Tartars, their men and horses in Yanzhou will not last long, as long as we hold Liaocheng, they will not dare to go south easily, and the tens of thousands of Qing troops in Yanzhou will definitely die......"

"Then I'll get ready!" Liang Min also didn't say anything more, they believed in Cao Bianjiao, and at the moment they were all bent on resisting the Qing, as for the rest, they didn't worry about anything.

In Liaocheng City, when He Luohui's army arrived outside Liaocheng City, Liaocheng City Defense was still under repair, He Luohui came too quickly, after they occupied Liaocheng, they began to strengthen the garrison, but He Luohui came quickly, beyond their expectations.

"General Liang, now the northern captives have come to the city, and the repair of the city pass is still in progress, if the northern captives attack the city at this time, Liaocheng City is in danger!"

Hearing Jin Shenghuan's words, Liang Min also guessed that Jin Shenghuan already had a countermeasure, but it was inconvenient to say, and he smiled at the moment: "General Jin, we are not as good as you in the war, everything is up to you, you just have to do it, and if you need our cooperation, we are duty-bound." ”

Jin Shenghuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Thank you General Liang, this general means deceitful peace, He Luo will be bound to win Liaocheng, the army is huge, if you don't take Liaocheng, you will never be reconciled, if we wait for a false way, cheat with it, delay time, and then take the opportunity to repair the city pass, it will only take a few days, even if He Luo will react, we have already repaired it properly, I don't know what General Liang thinks?" ”

Liang Min also readily agreed, although he is not very familiar with military strategy, but it is a fact that Liaocheng City is being repaired, and it is also a fact that the Qing army has already arrived in the city, if there is a war at this time, it is not the best time for them, if it can drag on for a few days, then the city defense can be repaired properly, even if the enemy army attacks the city, they have a few more chances of winning.

"In this case, then we will write a letter and send it to He Luohui, pretending to make peace with him, only need to delay for three days, and then the city defense will be repaired properly, even if it is a war, there is no fear!" Jin Shenghuan was also relieved to get Liang Min's support, his army was only 5,000 people, and the rest were Yuyuan troops, and he had to nod his head as the leader.

"It's all up to the general's decision!" Liang Min also said angrily.

In the big tent of the Qing army outside Liaocheng City, He Luohui was arranging combat tasks for the generals, and suddenly a soldier reported outside the tent: "General, there is a Han envoy outside the gate who wants to ask to see the general!" ”

When He Luohui heard this, he was also very disdainful, they had already come to the city, and the Han people sent envoys to come why, he didn't have the heart to talk to them at all, and waved his hand and said: "Let them go, my army will be able to capture Liaocheng in a few days!" ”

"General, I'm afraid they're here to sue for peace! The last general thought that if he could occupy Liaocheng without spending a single soldier, why not do it, he might as well listen to what they had to say. ”

"Then bring him in!" He Luohui thought about it and agreed to this proposal, if it was really possible to take Liaocheng without spending a single soldier, it would be a major blow to the Ming army, and it would be a great thing for them!

The person who came was Jin Shenghuan with Chen Ding, the military capital, entered the big tent, walked straight forward, came to the middle and bowed slightly, hugged his fist to He Luohui, and then said: "Chen Ding, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, came to negotiate peace on the order of General Jin Shenghuan, and was willing to sacrifice Liaocheng Chengguan." ”

"I heard that Jin Shenghuan is a man, and the general has not yet attacked the city, but he surrendered, trying to cheat and survive, it is ridiculous, come and take him down to sacrifice the flag!" He Luo will scold angrily.

When Chen Ding heard this, he was not afraid at the moment, and laughed: "It is insignificant for the general to kill me, but it also colds the heart of the surrenderer, after I die, the soldiers and civilians of Liaocheng must be united, knowing that they must not surrender, they must fight to the death, Liaocheng has the city as the backing, the army and the people are tens of thousands, even if Liaocheng is taken at that time, presumably these eight banner soldiers, to say the least, they have to leave half of this Liaocheng city." ”

At the moment, Li Shutai on the side also followed and persuaded him: "Come and make what you say reasonable, since Liaocheng City has the heart to surrender, if we refuse, it will definitely chill people's hearts, and then they will fight to the death, which is not good for me, and please make a clear decision to the general!" ”

After listening to Li Shutai's advice and Chen Ding's words, He Luohui also calmed down at the moment, if Liaocheng sincerely surrendered, and then he refused, they would definitely defend the city to the death, so even if he really took Liaocheng, it would be as he said, heavy casualties were inevitable.
