Chapter 80: Abandon the Darkness and Turn to the Light
After Di Qing pondered for a moment, he was also secretly happy in his heart. It seems that Zhang Xianzhong is indeed unpopular, and he is at the end of his rope, and even his two most trusted henchmen are about to defect, which shows that his strength has been exhausted.
He asked carefully about the plans made by the two of them, and Sun Kewang answered them one by one, and there were no obvious loopholes, so he was basically sure that the two of them were sincerely surrendering, so he had an idea in his heart.
Di Qing stepped forward to help Sun Kewang and said with a smile: "General Sun was able to abandon the darkness and surrender to the imperial court, which shows that he is indeed a person who understands the situation, and Ben Shuai is very pleased." If you, Li Dingguo and others can capture Zhang Xianzhong this time and save the lives of 100,000 people in Jinguancheng, it will definitely be a great achievement. Ben Shuai will definitely write to His Royal Highness the Regent for the two of you, not only to protect the lives of your two families, but His Royal Highness will definitely have a reward. Ben Shuai hereby promises that as long as the two of you are sincere and obedient, you will not be guilty of the past. If anyone dares to attack you in this way, the commander will vouch for you. ”
Di Qing's categorical and decisive attitude made Sun Kewang overjoyed, and a worried heart was completely settled, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The sin will thank the marshal for his great kindness, and he will repay the marshal's grace." ”
Di Qing helped him up, and asked him to take his group to wash up and then use the food, and then he came to him to make some additions to the plan.
Finally, details such as the contact signal and the signal agreed upon for the start of the operation were agreed.
In order to win Zhang Xianzhong's letter, Di Qing also specially replied to Zhang Xianzhong with a battle post, which means that he promised not to besiege the city, not to use cannons to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong outside the city, and stamped his marshal seal.
After getting Di Qing's reply, Sun Kewang was even more overjoyed and couldn't stop thanking him.
Di Qing said in a deep voice: "General Sun, three days later, General Ben Shuai will personally lead an army of 100,000 to fight with the Great Western Army in Jinguan City, I hope that the two generals will not disappoint Ben Shuai at that time." Otherwise, Ben Shuai's hundreds of artillery pieces would not have agreed. ”
Sun Kewang hurriedly promised that he would never go on a business trip.
After changing another batch of war horses for Sun Kewang and the others, they immediately left Mianyang and rushed back to Jinguan City.
After Sun Kewang left, Di Qing was anxious about the main generals under him, and told Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo about the surrender.
The generals were overjoyed and furious, and scolded Zhang Xianzhong for being shameless and absurd, and even using his own people as a bet to blackmail, which was simply indignant to people and gods.
However, some people questioned whether Sun Kewang and others sincerely surrendered, or whether it was a delaying tactic.
Di Qing looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Generals, don't worry, in the eyes of this commander, even if Zhang Xianzhong makes a false shot this time, it is impossible to stabilize us and then escape." Ladies and gentlemen, Marshal Deng Shichang of the Navy had already sent a fleet up the river a few months ago, transporting a large number of soldiers and horses to ambush near Yucheng, cutting off Zhang Xianzhong's retreat. If he wanted to escape, he would inevitably run into an ambush head-on, and he could be annihilated in one fell swoop. In addition, a large number of men and horses in the Central Plains Theater are also deployed at the junction of Shuzhou, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Xianzhong to wander into the Central Plains here. ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized and were amazed.
Di Qing said again: "But our army can't just wait for them, we must send a team of men and horses to the vicinity of Jinguan City to put a little pressure on them." I wonder which general would like to go? ”
As soon as the words fell, Huo Ran, an extremely strong and burly general, got up and said, "The last general is willing to go!" ”
Then a few more people got up and asked for battle.
The few who didn't get up were basically generals of logistics or artillery units, and they knew that even if they asked for battle, they wouldn't be able to get this errand.
Di Qing looked at everyone and said to the general who was the first to stand up: "In this case, then please ask General Du to lead your cavalry division to go forward, on the one hand, to monitor the enemy's movements, and on the other hand, to lay a good forward position for the army." ”
General Du was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down to receive the order: "The last general will not disappoint the marshal!" ”
After saying that, he received the talisman and immediately transferred his troops.
After Di Qing arranged other affairs, everyone dispersed.
Let's say that Sun Kewang is recognized by Di Qing, and he is down-to-earth and proud, although he is in a hurry, his spirit is not sluggish, but he looks bright.
Moreover, the horses that Di Qing gave them were all high, long-legged and fast Arabian war horses from the base, which were much faster than the Mongolian horses they had ridden before, which made him even more happy.
The journey was fast, and it was just noon when I returned to Jinguan City. Sun Kewang sneaked into the city secretly, and then asked people to find Li Dingguo, told him about his meeting with Di Qing one by one, and showed him Di Qing's handwritten reply.
Li Dingguo was also overjoyed, the two muttered for a while, perfected some details, and Sun Kewang changed his clothes and went to the palace to see Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong was drinking and having fun in the palace, watching a group of singers and dancers who had just been snatched from a rich family dancing, leaning on the collapse, their clothes spread out, revealing their dark and thick chest hair, holding a gin jug in his hand while pouring wine into his mouth, while his eyes swept over those singers.
Although the singers were dancing and smiling on their faces, they all looked extremely nervous, and their bodies were trembling slightly. The smile on his face said it was a laugh, but it looked worse than crying.
Zhang Xianzhong's reputation for murderous maniac is outside, and no one is afraid, and these singers have naturally heard of it.
Their original master family was the rich and noble family who had just been killed by Zhang Xianzhong, because Zhang Xianzhong rode a horse outside the wall a few days ago, and heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from inside the wall, so he was furious and scolded that family for being indulgent in pleasure when the country was in danger, and playing such a beautiful sound was obviously a heinous crime.
So he ordered all the family to be killed and raided, and then all the singers and dancers of the family were brought to the palace for themselves.
The dancers were terrified, and suddenly one of them accidentally stepped on the corner of the other's skirt, causing the woman to fall, causing a series of chaos.
Zhang Xianzhong was furious, and casually smashed the gin jug in his hand and hit the forehead of a singer, and immediately smashed her head and fell to the ground.
The others immediately fell to their knees, trembling, and begged for mercy.
"A group of killers, Lao Tzu doesn't eat people, what is there to be afraid of. Left and right, all pushed out and chopped. ”
Zhang Xianzhong got up and was furious.
The group of singers and dancers turned pale in an instant, and even cried for mercy, and some people banged their heads on the hard floor, dripping with blood, but they still didn't dare to stop.
The others followed suit, and they all kowtowed frantically, and soon, a group of young women who were like flowers and jade suddenly became bloody people with blood on their faces, and the guards who came forward to see it were a little unbearable.
At this time, the eunuch outside the palace reported: "Sun Kewang is the general to meet Your Majesty." ”
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and asked people to drag these singers down, which can be regarded as exempting them from capital crimes.
