Chapter 1431: Not a person inside and out
readx; Liu Guoneng used his own experience to speak and persuade Li Wanqing to return to the imperial court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ But Li Wanqing was not so easily moved, he first asked Liu Guoneng: "Brother Liu, since you have surrendered to the imperial court, what official position has the imperial court given you?" Are your former subordinates still under your command? β
Liu Guoneng blushed and said honestly: "This brother doesn't lie, my brother is only under the account of Governor Lu now, and he has no official position." The original subordinates were all pulled to the rear for training, and the imperial court meant that those who wanted to be disarmed and returned to the field could return to their hometowns, and those who wanted to be officers and soldiers had to be selected, not everyone could be a person, and they had to be organized according to the imperial court, and it was not under my control. β
Li Wanqing sneered, "It's not that my brother said you, Brother Liu, you think too simply!" Originally, although you suffered a defeat, you still have 18,000 men under your hands. It's good now, I've become a bare-bones general. Nowadays, Lu Xiangsheng still needs you, so he let you listen to it under the account, but he didn't even give him an official position. Birds are all bowed, rabbits are hidden, dead dogs are cooked, you don't know? When the court has wiped out all of our people, it's impossible to say how to treat you at that time! Don't say anything else, Hong Chengchou was lured to surrender in Shaanxi back then, and how many good brothers did he kill, how can you still be fooled by this, Brother Liu! β
"But at that time, we discussed the current situation, didn't you also want to descend..."
"Descending is descending, not this kind of descending." Li Wanqing said, "First of all, people and horses can't be co-opted, and if we are co-opted, we won't have monkeys to lead us." Second, the imperial court should be given official positions and defense land, and food and salaries should be allocated on time. Third, don't listen to tunes, don't listen to propaganda..."
"Brother Wanqing, that's not what you said." Liu Guoneng interrupted him with a wry smile, "Like you said, that's not surrender, that's the imperial court offering you as an ancestor." Take 10,000 steps back and say, if we make these requests during the Apocalypse, the imperial court may still agree, because at that time, the officials and soldiers have nothing to do with us. But now you don't need my brother to say it, you also know it in your heart: We are the opponents of the official army? In the two Dangshan battles, thousands of brothers on our side who could fight well died, and if it weren't for the Holy Grace's decree, the number of dead would not have doubled; But on Governor Lu's side, there were only about 100 dead and wounded, how can this battle be fought! You have made so many demands that you have angered the imperial court, and you will not even be given a chance to surrender..."
Li Wanqing lowered his head when he said this, and his voice was much lower: "But there is no good fruit to eat if it falls..."
"How can you see it?" Liu Guoneng smiled, "What are you?" β
As he spoke, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Li Wanqing. Li Wanqing took it, it was just an ordinary piece of paper. But the content above surprised him, it turned out to be the edict of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen pardoning Liu Guoneng to return to more than 10,000 people, and there was a red "Emperor's Treasure" seal below!
"It's... Is this a holy decree? Li Wanqing said suspiciously, "Aren't the holy decrees all made of gold leaf or silk, why is it just such a piece of paper?" It can't be fake, right? β
"You don't know this, that's the holy decree passed down by the flying pigeon!" Liu Guoneng smiled and withdrew the holy decree, "My brother's net worth and life are all on this holy decree, so I have to take it away." You are afraid that Governor Lu will not believe in his words, this is a holy decree, long live Lord can't say it. Just now you asked my brother why he didn't have an official position, didn't this holy decree say: Exemption from death is not exempt from sin, but he can be guilty of meritorious service, and he will be hired according to the situation after the chaos is quelled. As a man, you have to think about it with your heart: our thirteen families have dug up the ancestral graves of the Long Live Lord, although it was not done by the two of us, but they all have a thief's name, and it is already a great grace to avoid death! β
The enemy's land science and science are cold
"Will it avoid death first, and then find an excuse to deal with us later?" Li Wanqing was still suspicious, "And we are all mud legs, even if we become officials in the future, can we fight those people in the court?" The fate of Song Jiang in "Water Margin", we don't know..."
"Don't worry, you Hao Yongzhong! Back then, he almost broke through Qinwangzhuang, and his sin was no less than ours, but after a few years, he has now become the commander of the 3,000 battalions of the Zhengyipin General Officer, with the seal of the hussar general. People like Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng, who are not mud legs, are still much younger than us, and now they have all succeeded. This shows that Long Live Lord is eclectic in employing people, not to mention that there are external troubles such as Tartars, the court is using soldiers everywhere, as long as we are sincerely obedient and serve the court with sincerity, Long Live Lord will definitely not treat us badly! β
Under Liu Guoneng's painstaking persuasion, Li Wanqing was a little tempted, but he still frowned and said: "But brother, I am not the same as my brother, I am besieging the official army, and I almost didn't shoot their main general just now, I offended him bitterly, can people make me surrender?" Besides, my wife and children are still in the hands of the officials and soldiers, let alone surrender, even if I let the officials and soldiers go, after they get out of danger, maybe they will be poisoned! β
Liu Guoneng was busy saying that the emperor had a decree to strictly prohibit the killing of women and children who were not combatants. But with what happened just now, Li Wanqing refused to believe anything. In the end, he proposed that it was okay to surrender, but the officers and soldiers had to release his wife and children first. If the officers and soldiers do not even have this sincerity, then everything should not be discussed.
Liu Guo could not persuade Li Wanqing, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his voice immediately raised an octave: "Brother Wanqing, why are you still holding on to the luck mentality and want to bargain with the officials and soldiers!" There's no need for my brother to hide it from you now, do you think you're safe if you hide in Nushan Lake? You don't even think about it, how did my brother find here? Let me tell you the truth, the scouts of the official army found you yesterday, because you are the weakest in the thirteen families, and Governor Lu has sent Pingnan General Li Dingguo to lead 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and then he personally supervised the formation and came to destroy you! It was I who told Governor Lu that you had already intended to be obedient, and Governor Lu asked me to persuade you. If you still hesitate, you won't have a chance! β
Li Wanqing was taken aback, he believed that Liu Guoneng would not lie to him, and his heart was even more gloomy. However, after a while, he still insisted: "As long as the officers and soldiers release the people first, I will surrender; Otherwise, you will not surrender! β
The knot is not cool, and the sun is not cool, and the sun is troubled by me
At this point, Liu Guoneng had no choice but to come to Huang Degong. After the report, the officers and soldiers put him in the courtyard, but Huang Degong didn't know him, and wondered if it was a play deliberately staged by thieves to numb himself.
Liu Guoneng hurriedly introduced himself, and took out Lu Xiangsheng's warrant to let Huang Degong pass it, and tentatively said his intentions. Huang Degong said with a smile: "Lao Tzu is just a small thousand households, I have never seen Governor Lu, and I don't know his handwriting, who knows if this thing is real or fake?" You want Lao Tzu to release people, to put it lightly, Lao Tzu released people with the front foot, and Li Wanqing's turtle grandson came in with the back foot. Is Lao Tzu a three-year-old? β
It's good now, Huang Degong and Li Wanqing don't believe in Liu Guoneng, Liu Guoneng has become "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out". Just when he was at a loss, he heard Huang Degong say: "It's not impossible to release people, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to use women and children as shields." However, you have to follow Lao Tzu's way, you let Li Wanqing come out, and the two of us will fight alone! β
