After I said this, Li Dingguo, who originally had hatred for me, softened suddenly.

He looked down at Zhang Xianzhong in his arms, and then at me on the city tower, and didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, I continued: "General, if you have any concerns, you can come into the city to talk, I am willing to open the city gate for you!" ”

As soon as he said this, the soldiers defending the city suddenly became nervous.

You must know that Li Dingguo has 150,000 people, and as soon as the city gate is opened, I will die in the city.

"Chongzhen, is this true?"

"No jokes! Besides, the general is a benevolent man, so what am I afraid of? ”

Damn, I said that, but I was still very worried that Li Dingguo wouldn't buy my account.

But in order to recruit him, I had to show full sincerity.

Finally, I said to the soldiers guarding the city, "Open the city gate and let General Li in!" ”

"The emperor's move must not be!"

The soldiers objected, and Li Dingguo stared at me deadly.

"Open the gates!"

I yelled, and the gates opened.

"General, rush in and kill Chongzhen!" Li Dingguo's lieutenant shouted.

After hearing this, the Ming army was shocked, but the buddy still stubbornly stood on the city tower as steady as Mount Tai.

As for Li Dingguo, he neither called the army to attack the city, nor did he go into the city.

Instead, he looked at me again, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Chongzhen, you are more courageous than I imagined, I Li Dingguo admires!" ”

After saying this, he turned back to his lieutenant generals and said, "Wait for me to take a look at the city, you don't have to worry!" ”

After hearing this, buddy I was ecstatic.

Thinking that Li Dingguo was finally persuaded by me, it seems that there is a drama in surrendering.

However, at this moment, Li Dingguo's adjutant general stepped forward to stop him and said nervously: "General, don't do it!" If you enter the city alone, won't you fall into Chongzhen's trap! ”

Grass! Dude, I have a hairy trap, where is Lao Tzu willing to kill a god of war like Li Dingguo.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, his adjutant general said: "I have been following the general to the death since the day of the Shaanxi incident, if the general wants to surrender, we will follow the surrender, but I don't want to see the general die in vain!" ”

Nima! Although the words of these lieutenant generals were not conducive to my recruitment, I could feel from their words that Li Dingguo was definitely an excellent general who took the lead, otherwise the people under his command would not care so much about him.

"Chongzhen, if you are really sincere, please come out of the city to talk!" Another lieutenant shouted.

When he said this, he was tantamount to throwing me into the army and completely throwing the danger to me.

As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, buddy, I didn't hesitate at all, and blurted out: "Since you are worried that I am not benevolent, then I will go out of the city!" ”

So saying, I strode down the tower and came to the gate.

At this moment, Mu Xia's little girl rushed up, hugged me and said, "Brother Emperor, don't go out!" ”

The moment I was hugged by her, my heart melted, and I just felt so warm.

But I've put my words out, how can I not go out.

I let go of her hand and strode up.

"Brother Emperor, I'll accompany you!"

With that, Mu Xia ran up with him. He stood in front of me with his sword.

I walked step by step to the front of Li Dingguo's formation, looking at the cold soldiers on both sides, and I couldn't help but get nervous.

Li Dingguo did not move, and the archers of the Ming army on the city gate all stretched their bows and arrows.

If there is any movement in the city, ten thousand arrows will be fired to protect my safety.

Soon, I came to Li Dingguo's horse, opened my arms and said: "General Li, I have no way to retreat now, whether you want to belong to the imperial court, or kill me to avenge my father, all follow you, general!" ”

Seeing this, Li Dingguo's heart completely softened.

And his lieutenants admired me even more, so they started to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a team of people suddenly appeared outside the city, rushing towards the front of the formation.

The leading general shouted loudly: "Second brother, don't fall for Chongzhen's tricks!" ”

After that, a tough man with a face like a jackal and a black robe rushed over with a long knife in his hand.

Before I could react, he slashed at my neck.

If I'm not mistaken, this person should be another deputy general under Zhang Xianzhong, and Sun Kewang is also.

When he came with this knife, my buddy and I were caught off guard, and I thought that I would definitely die.

However, at this critical moment, someone on the city gate suddenly shouted: "Big brother keeps people under the knife!" ”

When I opened my eyes, it was Zhang Xianzhong's third son Liu Wenxiu who was shouting.

I saw Liu Wenxiu wearing the tiger skin cloak I sent and jumped down directly from the city gate.

"The emperor is benevolent, the eldest brother must not kill the emperor!" Liu Wenxiu stopped Sun Kewang.

Hearing Liu Wenxiu say this, buddy, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, presumably he has been influenced by me, otherwise he would not have stepped forward to stop Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang said indignantly: "Third brother, Chongzhen killed his father-in-law and killed his fourth brother Ai Nengqi, if I don't avenge them, how can I be the right person to raise and brotherhood!" ”

"Big brother, although my father-in-law has the grace to nurture the four of us, he does not exercise benevolent government and slaughters countless people in Sichuan, and he has long lost the hearts of the people. Even if the emperor didn't break through Chengdu and execute him, the people would turn against him sooner or later. As for the death of the fourth brother, I have already understood it, and I don't blame the emperor! ”

Liu Wenxiu's words were reasonable, but Sun Kewang was still very hesitant, and the knife was still on my neck.

At this time, the onlookers began to shout again, accusing Sun Kewang of being obsessed.

Sun Kewang looked at Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and then said, "Have you all forgotten your father-in-law's nurturing grace?" Do you really want to surrender to the enemy who killed your father? Even if the righteous father does not exercise benevolent governance, if you surrender to Chongzhen, under the nine springs of the righteous father, how can you turn a blind eye! ”

As soon as he said this, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu froze, after all, Sun Kewang is the eldest son and has enough right to speak.

Seeing this, buddy, I said coldly: "General Sun, you want to avenge your father, I promise you." But now the country's mountains and rivers are broken, the people are hungry, there are thieves inside, and there are Manchus outside. If you can pacify the rebels and repel the Manchus, you can take this head away at any time! ”

Dude, I'm not bragging, I'm telling the truth.

Ever since I experienced the humiliation of the Manchus, I have made up my mind to put the country first. And when I entered Sichuan and saw the people's livelihood withering, I was even more heartbroken.

If I can exchange my body for peace in the world, I will not regret my death.

After I finished saying this, Li Dingguo, who had been silent for a long time, pressed the long knife in Sun Kewang's hand, and said with righteousness and awe: "Big brother, you and I are both loyal and filial people, but the national hatred and the family hatred, which is more important, I believe you know better than me." And the emperor is not the kind of narrow-minded person, I believe that if we follow the emperor, we will be able to make contributions! ”

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, Liu Wenxiu added: "Big brother, I was captured in Xuzhou, but the emperor not only did not humiliate and hurt me, but treated me and my family very well. I think following the emperor is really a righteous way, I hope that the eldest brother can abandon the darkness and serve the court! ”

After some persuasion by Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang, who was still tough, gradually softened.

In the end, he sighed and looked up to the sky and said, "Since you two are willing to surrender to Chongzhen, my grandson Kewang will not forcibly stop it." But Chongzhen, if you want me to return to you, you have to agree to my two conditions! ”

Hearing him say this, Lao Tzu's hanging heart finally fell.

If a tiger general like him can surrender to me, let alone two conditions, even ten conditions Lao Tzu is willing to accept.

"General Sun, if you have any conditions, just say it!"

Sun Kewang put away the long knife, looked around to the left and right, and then said: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk about it when we go to the city!" ”

"Okay, General, please!"

In this way, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, three tiger generals, followed me straight into the city, without bringing a single soldier.

After entering the city, the three of them came to the main hall, and then I asked, "General Sun, can you tell me your conditions now?" ”

As soon as my voice fell, Sun Kewang was about to answer.

Suddenly, Mu Xia covered her head and screamed uncomfortably, her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground in one fell swoop.
