Chapter Fifty-Three: The Tartar Can Be Trusted, and the Sow Can Go Up the Tree

The strange behavior of the Tartars made the generals in the city even more confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Rumei took the lead and said: "What kind of medicine is bought in this gourd of Ziren Tartar, why don't we go out of the city to check it?" ”

Ziren replied: "This city is naturally going to come out, but is it about the candidates to leave the city~" At this time, he paused for a moment, turned around and instructed: "Come on, bring me the rest of Cao Xixuan." ”

Zhou Daqi and Wang Shouguan received the order and immediately brought the Cao family headed by Cao Wu up.

Seeing Ziren said with a cold face: "Cao Xixuan escaped from the battle to be punished, and the first offender was sentenced to General Zhuben to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, and ordered you to wait out of the city to find out the enemy's situation." After that, he looked at Cao Wu and the others with a fierce look.

At this time, a family member with a scar on his face stood up and said angrily: "You don't talk good here, if there is an ambush in the Tartars outside the city, I won't be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger when I go out of the city to investigate." ”

Ziren didn't get angry when he heard this, but instead cast an inquiring glance at Han Yuanshan.

Han Yuanshan understood and said in a loud voice: "This person's name is Liu Chen, and he is a lot of evil to follow Cao Xixuan on weekdays, and there is a military household who broke a leg by him because he couldn't pay the money and food. ”

"Damn it!" Hearing Ziren scolding, he immediately pulled out his saber, and saw a flash of cold light, Liu Chen, who had spoken disrespectfully just now, was defenseless, and he felt a cold neck and fell into a pool of blood in an instant.

After Ziren slowly withdrew his saber, he looked at Cao Wu and the others and said calmly: "This person is on the verge of disobedience, and if someone wants to be like him, they can step forward." ”

Zhou Daqi and Wang Shouguan had long been accustomed to the methods of their own generals, and immediately clenched the blades in their hands and stared at the Cao family viciously.

Cao Wu knew in his heart that although this trip was dangerous, there was only a dead end if he disobeyed the order, and there was still a glimmer of life if he went out of the city to investigate, so he said stubbornly: "The general is angry, and I will take people out of the city." My brother and enemy just defected to Cao Xixuan for a bite to eat, except for this Liu Chen, the rest of the people have no great evil on weekdays, and I hope that the general will keep his promise and let us live after the fact. ”

Ziren privately inquired about Han Yuanshan yesterday and knew that although Cao Wu was Cao Xixuan's cronies, he had never been evil on weekdays. When defending the city, Cao Wu often rushed to the front, and killed three Tartars for a lot of meritorious service, so it seems that he is still a man, thinking of this time with a serious face and said: "I, Ding Shouming, have always been true to my word, and after going out of the city to find out the enemy's situation, I promise not to embarrass everyone again." ”

When Cao Wu heard this, he immediately took a group of family members down to the city. After changing the iron armor and good horses sent by Ziren, he immediately left the city.

At this time, Li Rumei came over and kindly reminded: "Ziren, aren't you afraid that they will take this opportunity to escape and never return?" ”

Ziren smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Brother Rumei doesn't need to worry too much, most of these families are from military families, and they naturally understand the truth that monks can't escape from the temple if they escape." ”

Li Rumei saw that Ziren had already made a plan, so she put her mind at ease. The whereabouts of the Mongolian Tartars are now unknown, everyone has been in the city for a long time, in order to preserve physical strength, the generals decided to let most of the soldiers and the people temporarily go down to the city to rest, and only leave more than 100 people on each side of the city to guard, once the enemy situation has changed, the bell will be sounded to warn.

After about half an hour, Cao Wu led people back, and after seeing Ziren, he said respectfully: "Back to General Ding's words, I waited for a long time to follow the Mongols, and found that the Tartar was a false shot, and walked about ten miles to the northeast, so I turned to the west, and it seemed that I was preparing to withdraw from the side wall. ”

At this time, Cao Wu took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Ziren, and continued: "Tartar only has one letter in the basket, and I ask the general to look at it. ”

Ziren opened the envelope and found that it was written in crooked Mongolian, and Li Rumei, Sun Shoujing, and Han Yuanshan, who rushed to hear the news, did not know Mongolian. ”

After Cao Wu took the letter, he read it carefully twice, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the generals, this letter was left by Minister Ang of Duoyan. It is believed that the Duoyan Department had no intention of attacking, but was helplessly coerced by the brains of the Chahar Department, and had no choice but to fight the edge, and after seeing the courage of my Ming soldiers, he was willing to make friends with my Ming Dynasty, and left this letter as proof. ”

After hearing this, Ziren and the generals looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Brother Rumei, do you believe it?" ”

"Tartars can be trusted, and sows can go up trees." Li Rumei laughed and said, seeing that she had the opportunity to show her knowledge, she cleared her throat and said: "In the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Changang's turtle grandson and his uncle Chang Bald Kou committed Jizhen and were defeated by Qi Shuai and captured Chang Bald alive. Chang Ang had no choice but to lead 300 people from the clan with the minister Dong Fox to come to Qi Shuai Pass to plead guilty, Dong Fox Tian was shameless, and cried in plain clothes to ask for pardon for Chang Bald. After Qi Shuai surrendered, the Duoyan Department immediately released the people who had been plundered over the years, and vowed not to invade the border again. As a result, a few years after Qi Shuai returned, he came to my Liaodong Town to spread wild, and no one in the Li family was really hateful to bully me. ”

"I'm sorry that we don't fall for this group of turtle grandchildren!" Sun Shoujing also responded softly on the side.

Ziren pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I also don't think I believe in the surrender of the Tartars, Changang's move is nothing more than to save the life of his son Lai Hongda, but this matter can be big or small, and it is still left to Hao Xun to decide." We still strictly guarded the city, and at the same time sent orders to the surrounding forts to prevent the Tartars from secretly cheating. ”

The generals felt that Ziren was reasonable, and Sun Shoujing sent a sentinel to send a message, while Han Yuanshan took this opportunity to send Minzhuang to clean up the moat filled by the Tartars in case of accidents.

After Ziren went down to the city, he found Cao Wu and asked politely: "Brother Cao, I don't know what your real surname is, where is your name, I don't know what your plans are when Cao Xixuan dies?" ”

Cao Wu's eyes rolled twice, and he clenched his fists and said: "If you return to the general, your surname is Yong, your real name is Yongwu, and your real name is Yongwu, Jinzhou Weiren." My brothers only march and fight, and eat and get paid as if they were in different camps. ”

"Brother Yong, Meng Wen, who is brave and good at fighting, when my pacesetter battalion is now employing people, if you defect to me, I will ensure that you have a hundred general jobs, and there are 100 acres of fertile land for you to settle your family." Ziren saw that Yongwu's nature was not bad, and he knew that Meng Wen was a talent, so he said with a smile.

Ziren offered such generous conditions, Yongwu was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know how the general can place such a brother as my subordinates." ”

Yongwu could still think of his brothers at this time, Ziren nodded slightly, and replied: "Those who are skilled in archers and horses can come to my camp to serve, and those who bring their families to defect will enjoy fifty acres of land." ”

"Thank you, General, I'll go tell the brothers the good news right away!" Brave and categorical return.

After Yongwu left, Ziren wanted to go and sleep to recuperate. Who knew that this Li Rumei came running around again, and said with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, I have encountered a great difficulty, I know that you have a lot of ideas, and I ask you to help me come up with an idea." ”
