In Su Hongyu's opinion, Zhao Quanzhong's greatest contribution in this battle was to capture Bai Guangen's son Bai Liangbi alive. As long as Bai Liangbi is in hand, he can implement the next plan, persuade Bai Guangen, the commander of the train battalion, to solve this train battalion without blood.

Su Hongyu also has a scruple, that is, the 100,000 people in Liaocheng City, if Bai Guangen really resists, the 100,000 people will also be destroyed with the train camp.

This kind of human tragedy, neither Su Hongyu nor Fang Yuan would ever allow it.

Persuading Bai Guangen and Bai Liangbi to surrender the two fathers and sons cannot just rely on empty words, but to make them really lose confidence in the battle. The best way is to take Bai Liangbi to visit Pingshanwei, the tragic situation of Pingshanwei after the war, in order to break his fighting spirit.

After six days of rain, Pingshanwei's poisonous smoke gradually dissipated, and Su Hongyu and Zhao Quanzhong asked Bai Liangbi to go to Pingshanwei to visit the post-war inventory.

After the baptism of white phosphorus bombs, Pingshanwei has been burned to a scorched earth, and there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, a scene of hell. The entire acropolis was full of charred corpses of the Ming army, and the smell of the corpses after the fire and blisters was a foul smell, and even Su Hongyu had to wear a mask to avoid this disgusting stench.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the Xuanjia sergeant escorted the 800 surrendered Ming troops, wore masks and gloves and began to clean up the corpses of the acropolis one by one, carried them to the trenches outside the city and stacked them, and burned them together after they were cleaned up.

Bai Liangbi, who was escorted, saw the hellish scene of Pingshan Wei, and his lips trembled with fright. Until this moment, he still didn't know how the Xuanjia Army won, and the only conclusion he could agree with with his knowledge was, "Demon, demon!" ”

Su Hongyu smiled slightly, turned her head sideways and explained to Bai Liangbi slightly, "Fighting for power on the battlefield, where will there be any demonic arts?" The regent once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and you are defeated by the cutting-edge technology of the Xuanjia Army. ”

Bai Liangbi doesn't understand what cutting-edge technology is, what is productivity, his only feeling at the moment is that everything is lost, the difference in strength between the two sides is so huge, how can this battle be fought?!

Su Hongyu continued, "Bai Liangbi, if our Xuanjia Army continues to burn Liaocheng, Lingzun, and the train camp in Liaocheng, what are the chances of winning?!" ”

Bai Liangbi was silent, Liaocheng was twice as big as Pingshanwei, but if he was attacked by Pingshanwei in the same way, at most it would last for one or two more days, and the outcome would be the same.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Commander Su, Liaocheng doesn't have any chance of winning!" ”

Su Hongyu nodded and said, "Bai Liangbi, Pingshanwei has already fought a battle, and the chickens and dogs are not left." If Liaocheng continues to resist, it will be just another Pingshanwei. I hope that for the sake of the father-son relationship of General Bai Bing, the loyalty of the train battalion to the country, and the 100,000 people in the city, you will go to persuade Lingzun to surrender. ”

Bai Liangbi had already had a heart to surrender since he visited the tragic situation of Pingshanwei, but the only scruple of their father and son was that they had set up an ambush to annihilate five or six thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen before, and the Xuanjia army would not take the opportunity to retaliate.

He asked hesitantly, "Commander Su, this, my father and son have formed a mortal enmity with the Xuanjia Army." Can you guarantee that my father and son are safe?! ”

Su Hongyu said lightly, "On the battlefield, each is its own master, and there is no mortal hatred or mortal hatred." As long as Ling Zun can understand the general situation and take the overall situation into account, I can accept your surrender, and I can also protect your father and son's official position and family wealth, which should be the same as before. ”

Only Su Hongyu's verbal agreement, Bai Liangbi was still not at ease, after all, Fang Yuan's previous letter of persuasion only asked them to surrender, and he never promised to protect their official positions and family wealth, and asked, "What about the regent's promise?!" ”

Su Hongyu was stunned and asked, "Didn't the regent send a letter of persuasion to Inspector Sun before, promising to ensure the glory and wealth of your father and son?!" What more commitment do you want? ”

Bai Liangbi was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "This, this, the letter of persuasion we saw did not promise any official position, glory and wealth?!" ”

Su Hongyu had already faintly noticed the cattiness in it, and still said with an unmoved face, "Your father and son, please be relieved, the regent promised your father and son, as long as he leads the people to surrender, he can protect his family wealth, and he can also choose one of the Xuanjia Army, or Jiangxi and Zhejiang to serve as the chief soldier." ”

Bai Liangbi not only got the promise of keeping his glory and wealth, but even served as the chief soldier in a rich place like Zhejiang, what is there not to be satisfied with? was a little relieved, and immediately promised Su Hongyu that he would immediately go back to Liaocheng to persuade his father Bai Guangen to surrender.

For five days in a row, Bai Guangen in Liaocheng was on pins and needles, not only worried about the safety of his son Bai Liangbi, but also worried about the changes in Pingshanwei.

How could a well-defended Pingshan guard disappear overnight? Because the defenders of Pingshanwei were completely annihilated, either killed in battle or surrendered, and none of them fled back to Liaocheng, he did not understand the situation of this battle and was puzzled.

When Bai Guangen was restless, the sergeant suddenly came to report that Bai Liangbi had fled back to Liaocheng. Bai Guangen was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Bai Liangbi to come to report on the situation of the battle of Pingshanwei.

After Bai Liangbi entered the lobby, he sat on a chair and drank a few sips of tea, calmed down his breath a little, and then said, "Father, the battle of Pingshanwei is too miserable!" ”

Bai Guangen hurriedly asked the reason, Bai Liangbi told Bai Guangen how the bird monster of the Xuanjia Army threw the explosive incendiary bombs, how Pingshanwei was engulfed by the fire overnight, and when he retreated to Liaocheng, how he was ambushed by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the battle situation of the annihilation of the whole army informed Bai Guangen.

Bai Guangen listened to the truth of the battle, and he also broke out in a cold sweat on his vest. Based on Bai Liangbi's description, according to Bai Guangen's understanding, the Xuanjia Army has indeed mastered a very powerful demon method, a demon method that can instantly release fire, explosion, and even poisonous smoke. Pingshanwei was wiped out by fire and poisonous smoke overnight, and if he was replaced by Liaocheng, how many days can he last?!

Bai Liangbi sighed and said, "Father, the Xuanjia Army is not human, they know the demon law, this battle is really impossible to fight?!" ”

Bai Guangen stared straight at Bai Liangbi, who had lost his prestige, and asked, "Son! Did the Xuanjia Army send you to persuade you to surrender?! ”

Bai Liangbi smiled helplessly, "Yes, father, the child thinks that this battle cannot be fought again." If the fight continues, tens of thousands of soldiers of the train battalion will be lost in vain, as well as 100,000 people in Liaocheng. If we surrender earlier, we can also seal the official shadow; If you stubbornly resist to the end, you will force the Xuanjia Army to use the demon law again, causing a huge disaster, and then surrender will be eaten. The Bai family will inevitably be wiped out, the clan will be wiped out, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Bai Guangen looked at his son Bai Liangbi with a solemn expression, and Bai Liangbi's words were by no means alarmist. Since the Xuanjia army will amplify the fire and release poisonous smoke, Liaocheng will inevitably not be able to defend it.

He asked slowly, "Fang Yuan didn't offer any surrender conditions to protect my Bai family before, what conditions did you bring back this time?" ”

Bai Liangbi said, "This time, after the maneuvering between the child and the Xuanjia Army, we have negotiated a surrender condition that is most beneficial to the Bai family. The Xuanjia Army promised that our Bai family could not only keep their family wealth, but also continue to serve as the chief soldier in any place in Jiangxi and Zhejiang! ”

Bai Guangen nodded secretly when he heard this, this surrender is generous and acceptable. But he still had some doubts, and reconfirmed, "Who promised?" Fang Yuan?! ”

Bai Liangbi said, "It was promised by the wife of Jing Jie, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and she also said that this condition was also given by the regent in the persuasion letter before!" ”

Bai Guangen was startled suddenly, slapped his forehead, and then realized that it was Sun Chuanting who was making a hindrance, and sighed, "Alas! We have all fallen for Inspector Sun's scheme! ”

Su Hongyu only gave Bai Guangen three days to think about it, and after the three days expired, all the conditions for surrender were no longer counted, Bai Liangbi hurriedly persuaded, "Father, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly!" ”

At present, there are two choices in front of Bai Guangen, one is that the whole army takes the initiative to attack, and before the Xuanjia Army uses the demon method again, it will attack the camp of the Xuanjia Army first; The first is to surrender honestly to keep the Bai family safe.

Bai Guangen held the military token in his hand, pacing back and forth in the Chinese military camp, pondering silently, while Bai Liangbi kept persuading on the side.
