Taiyuan!

Since learning the news that the Han army had attacked Shouyang, Cen Chunxuan has never had a good night's sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Cen Chunxuan, this period of time was like being poisoned all day long, groggy and groggy, and even eating lost his previous spirit.

Although Cen Chunxuan had ordered Taiyuan to recruit soldiers to defend the city together, in order to prevent spies from infiltrating Taiyuan, Cen Chunxuan even ordered the city gate to be closed and anyone was forbidden to enter or leave.

But doing so still couldn't make Cen Chunxuan feel a little safe.

Taiyuan's troops were only a few thousand people, although tens of thousands of recruits were recruited in one day, well, in fact, it was mandatory, as long as you saw a man on the street, you would be arrested and taken to the barracks.

But these people have no combat effectiveness at all, and Cen Chunxuan does not have enough weapons in his hands to arm them.

Using these rabble to deal with the Han army armed to the teeth, Cen Chunxuan didn't even have to think about it, the victory or defeat had already appeared in his mind.

How should this battle be fought?

Not only Cen Chunxuan himself was puzzled, but even those under him were puzzled, and even quarreled.

"My lord, I heard that Shouyang County ordered Chen Wei to surrender because he did not give the order, but the Han army only used the blink of an eye to attack the city and beheaded Chen Wei. With our current strength, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to hold Taiyuan! A civil servant said in a tangled voice.

He was not struggling with how to resist Wang Sirui's Han army, but with how to persuade Cen Chunxuan to surrender.

After all, the example of Shouyang is there, although the news on the surface is because Chen Wei was corrupt and bribed and connived at his family. But they also did these things, besides, who doesn't know why the Han army killed Chen Wei? And not because he didn't surrender?

Maybe those soldiers and grassroots officials below will not be implicated, but when the Han army breaks through the city today, according to the previous practice, none of them will survive.

And now Cen Chunxuan has ordered the city gates to be closed, and sent his henchmen to lead troops to garrison the city gates, and no one is allowed to leave the city.

As a result, they are the decision-makers, and even their own families cannot be sent out of the city.

Stay in the city and pretend to be a civilian? Don't mess up, with the urine nature of these magistrates, although they dare not say that all the people in the city know them, at least one-tenth of them know their families, especially those who are not angry with the second generation, and they are eager to stand in front of the Taiyuan Mansion all day long to pee and show off their status and status.

And these people bully the people on weekdays, if the Han army comes to identify them, if they are recognized, what will be the consequences? I'm afraid I can think of it with my ass.

Based on the deterrence of the Han army and the lack of self-confidence of some people, two different voices have formed in Cen Chunxuan's decision-making circle.

One of them is the surrender faction, they think that Taiyuan cannot be defended, rather than the city is broken, it is better to surrender the city as soon as possible, even the imperial court is controlled by Wang Sirui, what can they do if they lose Taiyuan?

And if it is done well, maybe after Wang Sirui controls Taiyuan, they can still stay in their current position and continue to be powerful, why not?

The other group is the main battle faction, they think that Wang Sirui is a rebel, and they also believe that the imperial court still has a chance to fight back. After all, two-thirds of the country is still in the hands of the Qing court, and there are also many Manchu ministers outside, as long as these people gather and unite with other provinces, it is no problem to launch a counterattack against Wang Sirui.

As long as they can fight to the death and not retreat, of course, they will do this on the surface, and when they can't fight, they will secretly escape.

So after Wang Sirui was destroyed, they were still the heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and they were still indispensable when it came to rewarding meritorious deeds.

What about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then? How powerful is it? Half of China has been divided, but now? No, I still can't even see a shadow.

Therefore, these people think that Wang Sirui is not much different from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, as long as those ministers unite with foreigners, the Qing court can still turn the tables.

It's just that although they judged Wang Sirui's purpose correctly, they didn't see the difference between the two.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Nanjing, established power there, and looked at each other with the Qing court in the north.

But after all, the Qing court ruled for hundreds of years, and even if the south was occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were still many forces belonging to the Qing court. In addition, the military strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not produce an absolute superiority.

Therefore, in the end, with the help of foreigners, it was inevitable that the Qing court would defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But now the situation is different, first of all, Wang Sirui occupies the north, and even the imperial court is controlled, do you dare to try one of the ministers below? It is not a joke to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if you dare to make a move, you will immediately detain a rebellious basin.

No matter how bad it is, he will dismiss you from his position, and then let your sworn enemy take the position, in this case, will you return it or not? If you don't retreat, you will be disrespectful, and your rival will definitely kill you for the sake of the top. If you can retreat, then there will be even more reason to kill you.

Now they have finally realized the hardships of Sun Quan and Liu Bei reluctantly accepting Cao Cao's command during the Three Kingdoms period. The only difference is that Wang Sirui's Han army is too strong, they not only have an absolute advantage in front of the Qing army, but even in front of the main force of foreigners, they are not lagging behind.

This is a side that the main battle faction does not see, they are only attracted by the immediate interests. Or rather, they are looking so far ahead that they forget to look at the current situation.

Cen Chunxuan glanced at everyone, and felt more and more that his subordinates seemed to be rice buckets one by one.

One by one, they seem to have an idea, but the Han army is about to come to the city, what are these people still doing? It's still fighting or surrendering. Whether it's a battle or a surrender, at least you can come up with a plan, you don't even have a plan, let me play a bird?

"Everyone, whether it is war or surrender, I hope you all come up with a plan, empty talk will mislead the country!" Although Cen Chunxuan was a little angry, he still suppressed his temperament and said, no way, these people can't wait to drive them away by themselves, so that they can save their lives.

"This ......" and the group were a little dumbfounded, not knowing how to do it.

And a pair of eyes in the corner, slightly stunned, hesitated slightly, and finally stood up.

It stands to reason that on such an occasion, an official of his level is not qualified to speak, but now that the situation is critical and the stakes are so high, it is time for him to have to speak.

If Taiyuan can go down without a fight, it will be a great joy for the Han army, and for the people of Taiyuan and Shanxi, this is not a good thing?

"My lords, the lower officials have a plan to solve the doubts in your hearts." Malone stepped forward and bowed his fist.

"Marlon, what are you following and fooling around?" Ma Long's immediate boss Cen Chunxuan reprimanded with some displeasure.

What are you kidding? If Ma Long's plan is adopted, wouldn't it be their department that will be implemented in the end? It's too late to run for your life now, who dares to talk more? Doesn't Ma Long know that Cen Chunxuan is also inclined to surrender now?

Well, Ma Long is actually just a petty official in the Taiyuan Patrol Yamen, because the address of this meeting is to patrol the Yamen, so Ma Long took advantage of his position to enter the house, but no one thought that this little official would actually speak.

The patrol and arrest of the yamen is actually not a separate yamen, but a department under the governor of Shanxi, Cen Chunxuan, this department is only responsible for Cen Chunxuan, there are two people, and the number of people under these two people is unequal, they are Wen Patrol Arrest and Wu Patrol Arrest, and they can be regarded as Cen Chunxuan's henchmen.

On weekdays, the guards in charge of the yamen are the bosses of the guard units of the yamen, and they are the kind of people who work with him and the staff officers stand aside.

"Your Excellency, my lords, this matter is actually very simple, if in the end the opinions of the adults are the main battle, then we will immediately arrange the battle. If it is to surrender, then it is not difficult. We only need to throw out one person, and we can save your honor, and even if the court turns the tables in the future, it will not be possible to punish your lordship. Malone said.

"Oh? Who to throw? What's the solution? Tell me about it. As soon as they heard Ma Long's words, many people showed excited expressions, and even those who were in charge of the battle before stopped making a sound.

"The person who is thrown out can be any one of the adults, and this lord will share the glory and disgrace with the Han army. If we surrender, we can create the illusion of mutiny, and use this opportunity to announce our surrender to the outside world, and all the adults will be wronged for a few days, and they will be temporarily taken prisoner. In this way, the sin of surrender is not to blame for the adults, and the lord of the 'mutiny' will be rewarded by the Han army if he sacrifices the city, but if he wants to go back, there is no way.

And for the sake of your safety, when the Han army entered the city, you pretended to be rescued by the army, and you quickly went out of the city, confusing the Han army, and also put on a talisman for the adult who came out. Malone said.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

"Well, that's a good idea, but who should start this mutiny?"

"I think Master Ma is very suitable, he is the military governor of the Yamen, responsible for the security of the Yamen, we are all here to discuss the war, if Lord Ma wants to start a mutiny, it can be said that it is easy."

Cen Chunxuan's heart is bleeding, secretly scolding Ma Long, you are a stupid x, don't you know that when you make this suggestion, you will become an outcast?

Ma Long is Cen Chunxuan's confidant, is he just lost?

"Well, yes, Lord Ma is indeed very suitable, when the time comes, Lord Ma can send the information to us in the enemy camp, and we can continue to compete with the Han thief, so that when the Han thief is destroyed, Lord Ma can also come back and reward us together."

Forehead...... To be honest, this sentence said that Cen Chunxuan's heart was in trouble, and this was not considered to be giving up Ma Long.

"As long as the governor gives the order, Ma Long will definitely go to the soup and die!" Malone fell to his knees and declared. (To be continued.) )
