readx; At this moment, the chief military officer of the Pingliao Striker and the ancestor of the Li family in Liaodong was sitting in the conference hall, holding his head in his hands, and fell into great fear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, from the beginning of the Ming army's attack on the Houjin camp, Zu Dashou had already received a reward. At first, he thought that this was Zhu Mei from Jinzhou, and he was even more desperate. Because Zhu Mei broke through the siege, Jinzhou would inevitably fall, and the Eight Banners army could besiege Daling River without distraction. And Zhu Mei had less than 10,000 troops, and he lost at least seventy percent in the breakout, and he didn't help himself much when he got here.

But just when he wanted to open the city and surrender immediately, he suddenly got a report: This Ming army actually broke through the siege, and after killing, Jin was defeated! Moreover, the Huangluo umbrella cover was played in the array, which seemed to be Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition!

Zu Dashou was immediately dumbfounded, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop the execution of He Kegang. However, it was too late, Cao Bianjiao saw the reinforcements appear, and immediately released He Kegang, and gathered He Kegang's subordinates to fight out of the city, and joined forces with the Ming army who came to help, and now they have entered the city!

Zu Dashou couldn't help but have cold sweat on his forehead, he knew that He Kegang would inevitably complain to the emperor, and he, as the main general, was about to surrender to the enemy, which was a sure capital crime!

Just when Zu Dashou was nervously thinking about how to deal with it, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and other confidants and generals were also terrified, and they gave Zu Dashou all kinds of bad ideas. It is said that wait and see what happens, never show your head, let the reinforcements go to fight with Houjin, and see how the battle goes; It is said that it is possible to take advantage of the fact that the emperor's pro-army has not yet arrived, and quickly open several other city gates to invest in Houjin; Others said that they would simply come to an urn to catch turtles, and even bring reinforcements to He Kegang's troops with a spoonful of stew, it is best to catch Chongzhen and ask Huang Taiji for credit...

Zu Dashou was upset when he heard this, and suddenly shouted: "Shut up for me!" Do you know how many reinforcements there are, whether there are follow-up troops, and who is the leader of the troops? The fact that they can penetrate through the encirclement shows that their combat effectiveness is not trivial; If we launch rashly, if we are not an opponent, not only will we die without a place to be buried, but even our family members in Ningyuan will be punished for the crime of treason! Don't show your head? If the emperor is there in person, he will immediately send someone to summon him, and if I don't go, it will be a capital crime! Now it's not okay to surrender directly, Huang Taiji will definitely suspect me, this, this... Alas! It's really careless, and you lose all the games! ”

Zu Dabi and Zu Dale also looked at each other when they heard this, but Wu Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Commander, the general has a plan, maybe he can pass the test..."

As he spoke, he spoke his thoughts. Zu Dashou listened to it word for word, frowned and thought for a while, then spat out heavily and said, "Now it's all about this!" ”

While he was talking, Yuan Chonghuan had already rushed into the house on horseback and scolded Zu Dashou in the courtyard. Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and made up his mind, hurriedly gathered his face and walked out of the hall, and said with an unnatural smile on his face: "It turned out to be the governor, and the last general will be late, and I hope ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Chonghuan had already dismounted, and hurried over with three steps and two steps, and the splitter was a big mouth that resounded in the sky. In fact, with the ability of the ancestors, if you don't want to suffer this, of course you can easily avoid it; But he had already made up his mind to pretend to be pitiful, so he didn't dare to hide, and this slap was a solid one.

Don't look at Yuan Chonghuan as a civil official, his arm strength is really not small. This big mouth was pumped up, and Zu Dashou was beaten so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his cheeks were swollen when he saw it.

Zu Dashou usually has empty eyes, and Liaodong has changed several economic strategies and governors, but he doesn't pay attention to anyone, but he is in awe of Yuan Chonghuan, who has an upright temperament and never beats around the bush. At this time, seeing that Yuan Chonghuan dared to break into his general military mansion alone, he was even more shocked by his righteousness, half of it was acting, and half of it was really scared, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down and said in fear: "Lord Governor, the last general..."

"Zu Dashou, you're crazy!" Yuan Chonghuan said angrily, "Why do you want to lead the army to the enemy, and why do you want to kill each other!" ”

"The governor is angry, and there will be a return in the end!"

"Speak!"

"The last general is not really going to the enemy, this is just a bitter trick!" Zu Dashou covered his high swollen cheeks and said.

"Oh?" Yuan Chonghuan sneered, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Zu Dashou hurriedly paused and said: "The Daling River has been besieged for more than ten days, and foreign aid has been cut off, although it has repelled the Tartar attacks twice, it has also suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, the Tartars also have Hongyi cannons, which are thought to be unloaded from the city of Guangning, and they have been shelling the city wall for several days, and the Daling River is in danger. In the long run, the city will be broken, and the end will be anxious.

"At this time, the thief chief Taiji sent someone to persuade him to surrender. The last general came up with a plan, pretending to surrender and deceiving the trust of the Tartars. On the day of the Tartars' surrender, the last general will lead the army out of the city and launch a surprise attack while the enemy is unprepared, maybe he will be able to take the head of Huang Taiji! Even if it doesn't work, you can take the opportunity to break through.

"But this plan must be kept top secret, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked, once it is revealed, there will be no chance. Except for the deputy commander-in-chief Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, and Wu Xiang, the last general did not dare to tell anyone. However, He Kegang mistakenly thought that the last general was really going to surrender, and made a lot of noise in the army. In order to deceive the trust of the Tartars and not delay the breakthrough plan, the general was extremely helpless, so He Kegang was beheaded. If you don't believe it, you can ask these three people, and they can all testify to the general! ”

Wu Xiang and the other three also hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lord Governor Mingjian, what the Chief Soldier said is true, and he will never dare to deceive at all!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan listened and muttered for a moment, in fact, he didn't believe Zu Dashou's words at all. But he came here to persuade Zu Dashou, thinking that he still had to focus on the overall situation, so he also avoided the important and scolded lightly: "General Soldier, the headquarters also knows that you are loyal, and I can't believe it when I hear that you want to surrender." He Kegang is also a good general on the battlefield, since it is a plan, why not tell him? I'm afraid it's still selfish! Also, if you keep it a complete secret, won't you even hide it from all the soldiers? When it is suddenly launched, if the soldiers refuse to use their lives, won't they be beaten by chickens and eggs, and they will be caught in the net? It can be seen that this plan is not feasible at all, and it is a big mistake! ”

Zu Dashou was sweating profusely by Yuan Chonghuan, and only kowtowed again and again.

Yuan Chonghuan said earnestly: "Now that Your Majesty has entered the city, as the lord of a city, if you dare not go for fear that Your Majesty will be responsible, Your Majesty will suspect that you are really descending, and it is useless for you to say anything." His Majesty immediately has a major action, and it is necessary for the defenders led by General Zu to fully cooperate. Since you have no intention of surrendering to the enemy, this ministry will also defend you before you. If a person is not a saint or a sage, it is not too late to make amends, and it is at this time to make meritorious contributions. Chief Soldier Zu, don't hesitate any longer! ”

Zu Dashou saw that Yuan Chonghuan had the intention of defending himself, and when he heard that the emperor still had to command tens of thousands of defenders by himself, he was secretly glad in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed, and said with tears in his eyes: "The last general is guilty!" The last general will go and ask His Majesty for his guilt now! ”
