When the Qing army got dressed and took weapons to prepare for the battle, they found that the camp was full of familiar faces and no strangers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Damn Ming Dog! Damn Ming Dog," Yanguli jumped to his feet and yelled outside the camp.

He wanted to send someone to chase him out, but it was pitch black outside, and he would be ambushed or attacked by the Ming army.

After some scolding, he came to the artillery position, looked at the twenty red-clothed cannons that were blown apart, he was furious, and said loudly: "Take down Ma Guangyuan and beat a hundred military sticks." ”

The next day, when they heard that the Tartar cannon had been blown up the previous night, the craftsmen and servants were relieved to repair the wall.

Yanguli and the generals of the Qing army could only watch, and there was nothing they could do.

"Sir, these dogs are too arrogant. Let me lead my troops over and kill them. The White Flag Armor Lazhang Jingda Hasselblad said.

Glancing at him, Yanguli said coldly: "General Dahasu, don't you think the Manchurian warriors died enough?" With that, he walked back to the camp.

Back in the camp, Yanguli sat dumbfounded, contemplating the current situation of the battle

He couldn't have imagined that he had brought more than 15,000 people to take this Zhuozhou, and he actually ended up with a loss of soldiers, he should not have come if he had known, and there was no such thing as withdrawing troops in Gu'an County, but now it was useless to regret it, he knew that there were only two ways to go now, one was to send people to contact Abatai, and join forces to break through Zhuozhou, but in this way, it would appear that he was incompetent in battle and had no way to command, and the other was to send people into Zhuozhou to intimidate by force, as long as he could knock a big stroke from Zhuozhou, he could reduce or exempt himself from the crime of defeat.

After some consideration, he said to the generals in the camp: "Generals, there are still seven or eight thousand defenders in Zhuozhou City, which is about the same as our number, and it is difficult to take Zhuozhou with the current strength of our army. ”

"That's right, sir." Jialazhang Jingdekzik was the first to agree.

The Mongolian Blue Flag Armor Lazhangjing Alatan Ullah also said loudly: "This method is very good, the prince fights for silver, and it is a good thing to be able to get silver without fighting." ”

After fighting so many battles with the defenders of Zhuozhou, not only did they not take any advantage, but they lost their troops and generals, and now even the siege weapon red-coated cannon was also blown up, thinking of the cunning and difficult of the militia in the city, everyone was apprehensive, and now the number of people on both sides is close, it is even more impossible to take down this Zhuozhou.

Taking Zhuozhou is also for money, and you can get silver without fighting, so why don't you do it.

"Since everyone agrees, then Benjue will send someone to Zhuozhou." Seeing that the generals did not object, Yanguli said.

Glancing around at the generals, he chose Duolong Ao to go to Zhuozhou to negotiate, and asked him to tell the Ming officials in Zhuozhou that they would take out one million taels of silver, and the Qing army could withdraw its troops, and the specific process would be discussed by Duolong Ao, and hoped that he would complete this task as soon as possible.

Although Duo Long Ao was defeated twice, this time he was sent to negotiate, and there was no fear for his life, so he was also willing to go.

The next morning, Duolong Ao came to the city of Zhuozhou and asked to enter the city to negotiate the withdrawal of troops.

Hearing that the Tartars were going to withdraw their troops, Fan Jin and Li Xian were very happy, and Zhao Guohua also wanted to hear the conditions for the withdrawal of the Qing army, and his volunteer team was not strong enough at this time.

He didn't want to beat Yanguli hard at this time and attract the revenge of the Qing army.

After the three of them discussed, they let Duolong Ao and the three entourages in.

When I entered the city, I saw that the city was in good order, the shops were selling, the taverns were in and out of customers, and on the road there were teams of sturdy men with spears patrolling the streets, and the lives of the inhabitants were not greatly affected by the war.

"It seems that it is really difficult to take Zhuozhou with the current strength." Doron Ao muttered to himself.

followed Li Xian into the Zhuozhou Mansion, and the two sides sat opposite each other and began to negotiate. Afraid that the official would find fault in the future, Fan Jin deliberately said that he was sick and did not participate.

After looking at Zhao Guohua and Li Xian, and then staring at Zhao Guohua's black and blue military uniform for a few times, Duolong Ao said arrogantly: "Li Shoubei, why don't you see Zhuozhou Zhizhou Fan coming in and out to see me?" Could it be that he still wants to put up a shelf? ”

"Not really. Fan Dasheng is seriously ill and can't be a director," Li Xian hurriedly explained.

Li Xian was unhappy that Fan Jin pretended to be sick and did not participate in the negotiations with the Tartars, and Li Xian was also like a mirror to the little Jiujiu in Fan Jin's heart, but he was a civil official and the head of a state, and he was just a five-grade facial feature.

Hearing this, Duo Long Ao didn't think much about it, he came to Zhuozhou in order to carry out Yanguli's order, and it was his task to ask for more silver, whether Fan Jin was really sick or not, he didn't think about it at all, and he wouldn't think about it.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, he said slowly, "I am the Great Qing Dynasty Blue Flag Armor Lazhang Jingduolong Ao, and I came to negotiate on the orders of Duke Yanguli. ”

"What is there to talk about?" Zhao Guohua asked coldly.

A pair of wolf eyes stared at Zhao Guohua with a fierce light in their eyes, and Duolong Ao said, "Who are you?" ”

"This is Captain Zhao Guohua of the Volunteer Brigade." Li Xian introduced politely and respectfully.

"You are the leader of that militia group" Duolong Ao stood up suddenly, glared at Zhao Guohua angrily, gritted his teeth and looked at him viciously and said,

Nodding, Zhao Guohua said lightly: "Yes, I am." ”

Thinking that he had been defeated by this person twice, Duolong Ao was furious, clenched his fists, and really wanted to rush over and beat him hard to get angry.

But after glancing at the able-bodied guards in the room, he sat down again.

Thinking of his task, Duolong Ao stared at him fiercely, and then said to Li Xian arrogantly: "I have a strong Qing army, invincible in the world, although the attack on Zhuozhou City suffered several small setbacks, but we still have tens of thousands of troops, enough to break through this small Zhuozhou, Lord Yangguli is unwilling to let the people of Zhuozhou experience the sword soldiers again, he intends to withdraw the troops, for this he hopes that you will give our army financial compensation." ”

There were only more than 7,000 Qing troops outside the city, and in order to intimidate the officials in Zhuozhou, Duolong Ao deliberately exaggerated. He knew that there were fewer people, and he was afraid that he would not be able to scare the defenders of Zhuozhou.

"I wonder how much you want?" Li Xian hurriedly asked.

When he heard that after paying the money, the Qing army could withdraw its troops, and he couldn't help but be moved.

The withdrawal of the Qing army means that you can save your life, you can also keep Zhuozhou, you can save your life, you have the merits of defending Zhuozhou, and you will be promoted after the war, which is a safe thing, besides, this money can't be out of your own pocket, and you can use Zhuozhou's money to save your life and promote your own official, which is not a good thing.

Based on the above considerations, he was very interested in spending money to get the Qing army to retreat.

Tartar suffered a major setback but was willing to take the initiative to withdraw his troops, Zhao Guohua knew that this matter was not so simple, and the asking price would not be low, but seeing that Li Xian was very enthusiastic about this matter, he was a guest army, and it was not easy to object, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty are really greedy for life and afraid of death." Slandering, he glanced at the two of them, and seeing Zhao Guohua's cold look, Duolong Ao stared at him hatefully, turned his head and said to Li Xian: "My army of 50,000 has been delayed here for nearly ten days, and there are countless losses of grain and grass, and you blew up our army's artillery last night, so you must come up with 1.2 million taels of silver, 1,000 pigs, 500 cows, and 1,000 sheep as compensation, and we will consider withdrawing our troops." ”

"This ...... That's too much for us to come up with...... With so much silver, can you ...... less? Less ......," Li Xian stammered.

Looking at him arrogantly, Duo Long Ao smiled proudly: "No, you can't miss a point, as for whether you take it or not, it's your business." I will give you seven days, and if we do not have the money, pigs and sheep that we want, we will send troops to attack the city......" He laughed arrogantly.

So much silver, it was Duolong Ao himself who said it, Zhuozhou is not a big town, he doesn't think that this Zhuozhou has the ability to come up with more than one million silver taels. When he said this figure, it was originally a sky-high asking price, but he didn't want Li Xian to roughly agree.

This made him despise the Ming officials even more in his heart, and thinking of Yanguli's shocked face when he heard a million silver taels when he went back to report, Duolong Ao couldn't help but have a kind of excitement and excitement in his heart that washed away the shame of defeat.

"Seven or eight thousand people are said to be fifty thousand, it seems that your ability to talk is greater than your ability to fight." Zhao Guohua sneered and sneered.

Listening to Zhao Guohua's words, Duolong Ao was taken aback

Staring at him and looking at it carefully for a while, Duolong Ao didn't know how this person knew the strength of his side.

Gollum rolled his eyes, and Dolon Ao asked, "You said we only have more than seven or eight thousand people?" Have you counted? ”

Zhao Guohua had already known the strength of the Qing army from the mouth of the captives, knowing that there were 15,000 or 6,000 people when they came, the first time they attacked the city, they sent more than 1,500 Mongolian soldiers, and then only returned about 300 people, the second time they attacked the city, 3,000 Ming troops were wiped out, and the third time more than 3,000 people came in from the gap in the city wall, and finally only 1,000 people fled back, so they did only have seven or eight thousand people left.

stared at Duo Long Ao coldly for a few moments, and Zhao Guohua counted it up.

The more he listened to Duolong Ao's face, the darker it became, and after listening to the numbers calculated by Zhao Guohua, Duolong Ao neither admitted nor denied it.

He frowned and looked down for a while, before raising his head and threateningly said: "Although you have a certain amount of truth, but don't forget, we have brought 100,000 troops to Daming this time, and Duke Yanguli has sent someone to contact Bel Abatai and Prince Azig, and there will be news in a few days, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be no less than 50,000 troops in Zhuozhou......"

Hearing this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and his face became ugly.
