Chapter 60: The Battle of Mingmengjin (17)

Zhu Youxiang soon saw a white flag erected above the Bauhinia Pass, so Zhu Youxiang ordered a suspension of the attack. At the same time www.biquge.info the Tartar army on the other side also cooperated to stop the attack, but the defenders did not lay down their arms. What is this for?

His answer was soon revealed, the door of Bauhinia Pass opened a small crack, and then a person walked out of it, and the door was closed immediately, and that person ran over from his side, and soon came to Zhu Youxiang's army, Zhu Youxiang's people escorted Luo Rucai over, saw Zhu Youxiang, Luo Rucai looked at Zhu Youxiang, and said in his heart: "Just like this, you still want to sit in the world?!" But he still knelt down and said, "The last general, Luo Rucai, will meet Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Zhu Youxiang was very happy when he heard Luo Rucai call himself like this, and secretly said that this person was sensible.

Zhu Youxiang nodded: "Get up!" What are you talking about? ”

Luo Rucai said: "The soldiers of Bauhinia Pass originally wanted to die for the country and live and die with Bauhinia Pass, but the last general heard some brothers from Henan say that His Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, and he is a person who loves talents, and today's court is mediocre, it is really not worth working for such a court, and the last general will tell the brothers this truth, and the hard work pays off, and now the general of Bauhinia Pass also supports me, and sends the last general to ask for surrender and discuss this surrender."

Zhu Youxiang said: "I am glad that you have lost your way back, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender sincerely, all officials will be promoted to two levels, and the soldiers will immediately distribute half a year's salary, and the casualties will be given double the pension!" Because Zhu Youxiang also knew that time was urgent, and if he didn't take Bauhinia Pass and other imperial court reinforcements arrived, he would have no chance, so he made a lot of money from the beginning.

After listening to this, Luo Rucai secretly called out that Zhu Youxiang was generous, but it would take time to come by himself, if he went back so immediately, wouldn't it be similar to not coming, so he continued: "Your Majesty's benevolence is really rare through the ages!" The last general will thank Your Majesty for everyone at Bauhinia Pass! It's just that Your Majesty can give this silver to the last general immediately, and the last general will bring it to them now, I believe that those soldiers will definitely open the door and surrender immediately when they see this white silver tael! ”

Zhu Youxiang frowned and said, "What? Don't you believe what I say? ”

Luo Rucai hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty! The last will be faithful to you! The end will be a true surrender! Your Majesty, not everyone is willing to surrender to the tens of thousands of soldiers on this Bauhinia Pass, but as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as they get the silver, the last general still doesn't believe that they won't surrender! Your Majesty, say yes! ”

Zhu Youxiang was embarrassed, if he paid the cash immediately, according to the reward he just said, he would have to take out hundreds of thousands of taels at once, how could he bring so many taels of silver at once when he marched and fought? So Zhu Youxiang said: "In this way, you go to the camp next door to rest first, and I will discuss it with the others!" ”

Luo Rucai was secretly happy in his heart, you can discuss, it is best to discuss for a few days and nights, so he said: "The last general will retire!" After saying that, he respectfully retreated, and was soon arranged by the soldiers to go to other places, Zhu Youxiang quickly summoned everyone to discuss, but some people agreed, but the people who were in favor couldn't take out so many silver taels at once, and some people didn't approve of it, and they wanted to attack, but the pro-side retorted, saying that according to such a progress attack, I don't know if I can fight it tomorrow, what if the reinforcements from the imperial court come, etc., the two sides quarreled, Zhu Youxiang was helpless, and said: "If you use silver, how many silver taels can the current military make up?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Li Chengdong said, "Go back to Your Highness!" At most, make up 50,000 taels! ”

Zhu Youxiang is speechless, this is too bad, right? But he still thought about it and said, "Then 50,000 taels!" ”

Everyone was speechless, but they still quickly went out to gather the silver taels and came back, and then withdrew, Zhu Youxiang called Luo Rucai and said: "Here are 50,000 taels, of which 20,000 taels are rewarded to your general soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 taels are you take back and distribute them to other officials at all levels, as for the soldiers, they will be rewarded after I enter the customs!" ”

"Your Majesty! This...... Luo Rucai was stunned.

"How dare you question my decision? Give you an hour to go back quickly! Do your job well, I won't treat you badly! Trust you to be a smart person! Zhu Youxiang said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The end will definitely be done! Saying that, Luo Rucai retreated, and Zhu Youxiang sent a team of soldiers to escort the silver back to the city with Luo Rucai.

After entering the city, Li Yan arranged these soldiers, secretly sent someone to watch them, and distributed the 50,000 taels of silver to all the soldiers defending the city, the wounded, and the dead soldiers, and then Luo Rucai conveyed Zhu Youxiang's words to Li Yan, Li Yan thought for a while and said: "After an hour, you go over and say to Zhu Youxiang, it's okay for us to surrender, but he must come in person to pick up the customs, as long as he comes in person, we have a chance" said and made a motion to wipe his neck.

Luo Rucai nodded, indicating that he understood, and then Li Yan went out to arrange, and there was still an hour, he wanted the soldiers to take advantage of this time to rest well to meet the big battle that was about to break out again, and on the other hand, he arranged for Liu Guoneng to carry out the work of ambush and sneak attack.

The soldiers of Bauhinia Pass hurried to rest for an hour, while Zhu Youxiang and others outside felt that this hour was very long, and the Tartar army on the other side also felt that Haoge even scolded this Zhu Youxiang for being stupid, and he was still doing these at this time, if it weren't for Fan Wencheng's reason that not cooperating would destroy the cooperation with friendly forces and ultimately damage the interests of Dakin, Haoge would have continued to fight a long time ago.

An hour has finally passed, Zhu Youxiang and others seem to feel that they have waited for a century, but the imaginary situation of the Bauhinia Pass closing wide did not appear, or only opened a crack, and then it was Luo Ru who he was familiar with, only to see Luo Rucai trotting over, as soon as he saw Zhu Youxiang, he was about to salute, Zhu Youxiang waved his hand and said: "No courtesy!" Why did you come out, and what about the others? Why doesn't this door open? ”

Luo Rucai looked at the people around him, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness! Li Zongbing, who was guarding the pass, said that only if Your Highness you go to pick up the pass in person, he will surrender with a happy and sincere switch, and now in this Bauhinia Pass, everyone is looking forward to Your Highness's visit to Zijin Pass! ”

Before Zhu Youxiang could speak, Li Chengdong said, "Your Highness! Beware of deception! How could His Highness risk his life, and what if they pretended to surrender and set up an ambush? The last general thought that if they surrendered sincerely, they should switch and surrender themselves, and His Highness's reception in front of the gate was already the greatest sincerity! ”

Zhu Youxiang couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and Luo Rucai listened: "Your Highness! We are waiting for our sincere surrender, Your Highness, this is an opportunity to show your kindness and wisdom, the soldiers are looking forward to His Highness's presence and feel His Highness's kindness, and now His Highness doubts us, doesn't this make the soldiers feel cold? In this way, how can the soldiers still believe in His Highness's previous promise? ”

"Is it child's play that His Highness promised? Are you suspicious of His Highness? Zhu Youxiang said angrily, "But what you said also makes sense, let His Highness think about it!" ”

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiang said: "His Royal Highness will lead a team of people to escort His Highness, and the army behind will send another 20,000 people to follow up!" ”

Li Chengdong listened to it and thought it was okay, so he stopped talking, and as soon as Luo Rucai heard it, he knew that the plan had changed, so he said: "Since this is the case!" The last general will return to the city and let the soldiers get ready to meet Your Majesty and the Heavenly Army! ”

Zhu Youxiang didn't doubt him, nodded and asked him to go back and get ready inside, Luo Rucai rushed back, found Li Yan and said that the plan had changed, Li Yan thought about it, turned his head and walked up to the city, and asked the gunner, if the cannon could hit the target, the gunner could only smile bitterly: "Do your best!" Li Yan shook his head, he didn't dare to make such a gamble, so he thought about it again, found Liu Guoneng and said, "Brother Liu, how far can you throw a grenade?" ”

Liu Guoneng thought for a while and said, "About fifty steps!" ”

Li Yan said: "Brother Liu, there is a dangerous task entrusted to you, you and Brother Luo will go out to meet that Zhu Youxiang in a while, and when you are about the same distance, you will throw this grenade towards him, and then run back immediately, but Zhu Youxiang may be hiding in the escort of the sergeant, so you have to find a way to throw it, the most important thing is that this task may be fatal, you 。。。。。。 Li couldn't find another person in this army who was stronger than Brother Liu. Li Yan smiled bitterly.

"No problem! Just leave it to Liu! Liu Guoneng said with a smile.

"This is a grenade, three bundled together! The switch only needs to pull this rope and it will break together! You put it away! After speaking, Li Yan gave the things to Liu Guoneng,

"Howler! See if I don't blow up the fuck! Liu Guoneng scolded with a smile.

When he walked out of the city, Liu Guoneng took a few more grenades, put them in the armor, and went out with Luo Rucai, Zhu Youxiang saw the Bauhinia Pass gate open, it seems that Luo Rucai's thing is done, this person is good, he can be vigorously promoted, Zhu Youxiang said secretly, and then he ordered the team to start advancing.

Zhu Youxiang and everyone were very happy, they finally won the Bauhinia Pass, and they would join up with the friendly army for a while, so they didn't worry about the army of the imperial court, so they slowly relaxed one by one, just when they were still more than 40 steps away from Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai estimated the distance, so he shouted: "General Liu Guoneng, beg His Highness to see you!" ”

Zhu Youxiang heard that this person's voice was so majestic and powerful, he must be a fierce general, it seemed that his subordinates were going to increase talents, so he happily branched out of the people who protected him in front, Li Chengdong saw that the two people opposite were normal, and there was no army in the rear, so he didn't stop it, so soon Zhu Youxiang walked to him, looked at Liu Guoneng and said with satisfaction: "What a tiger general!" ”

Liu Guoneng looked at Zhu Youxiang, dismounted, knelt down and said, "General Liu Guoneng will meet His Highness!" ”

Zhu Youxiang raised his hand: "Get up!" ”

Liu Guoneng got up, hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to His Highness's grace today, I can accept the last general, and the last general is grateful, so I specially prepared a gift for His Highness!" I hope Your Highness smiles! ”

"Oh? I'm glad that you're here for Your Highness, so how can you prepare a gift? But His Highness is very happy! Liu Guoneng said happily.

Liu Guoneng smiled and said, "Your Highness is happy!" This is a gift, Your Highness, please take it! ”

Pick it up?! Isn't it your time to send it over? Zhu Youxiang thought, and then he saw Liu Guoneng throw a ball of things over, and then Liu Guoneng quickly stepped on the war horse, and Luo Rucai and Luo Rucai ran back, and the gate of Bauhinia Pass began to close slowly at this time.

"Not good! Protect Your Highness! Li Chengdong yelled, and after speaking, he hurriedly rode forward to block in front of Zhu Youxiang, and those soldiers rushed up with shields, but everyone's reaction was a step slower after all, only to hear a bang, everyone was stunned, a burst of smoke rose, and when the smoke dissipated, they saw Zhu Youxiang who fell to the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Li Chengdong roared angrily: "Chase me, kill them, and attack the city!" ”

"Kill!" The army that came later also saw the situation ahead, and the generals under the command immediately ordered the siege of the city, and at this time, the artillery on the Bauhinia Pass remembered again, and Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai entered the pass smoothly, and the gate was slowly closed.

The Great War has begun again。。。。。。
