"Come on, give this king an order to the head of the city, as long as they open the city and surrender, and hand over the dog thief Niu Jinxing, this king promises to withdraw his troops and return immediately, and will never touch a single grass and tree in Jinan City, if they are stubborn and have to resist my Dashun Heavenly Army for a dog thief, this king doesn't mind bloodbathing Jinan City, where to go, let them think about it." Standing under the city, looking at the already dilapidated Jinan city wall, Li Zicheng opened his mouth to the guards beside him and ordered.

After Li Zicheng's words were transmitted to Lu Chao's ears in the city through the guards, Lu Chao's heart suddenly stirred, if these words were just besieged by Li Zicheng in Jinan City, Lu Chao heard it, I am afraid he just smiled, and he would not take it seriously at all, but these days, Lu Chao's heart has no previous thoughts, thinking of the tragic posture of the soldiers of the Dashun Army attacking the city in the past few days, Lu Chao felt suffocated.

The current Dashun army is different from the once Dashun army with millions of soldiers, swallowing mountains and rivers, and conquering all invincible Dashun troops, although there are still more than 100,000 troops, but there are not many elite troops at all, not to mention the siege weapons such as artillery.

Therefore, the current Dashun army has to return to the situation of attacking the city completely by relying on human life, of course, there are still some siege tools, which are captured in the previous states and counties, but when the army of more than 100,000 people comes, it is a drop in the bucket, it is not enough at all, and the most Dashun army is the ladder made by cutting down trees on the spot.

It was with this simple ladder that the Dashun army opened their chests and leaked their backs one by one, holding weapons. Fearless of death, he rushed towards Jinan City, one died, the other came up, two died, and four quickly made up, Lu Chao saw many Dashun troops attacking the city in the city. There were many injuries in the body, but he still had a hideous smile on his face, and pounced on the Qing soldiers who were defending the city, in the face of these fierce Dashun troops, many Qing soldiers who had never seen this kind of tragic battle situation were paralyzed to the ground in fright, let alone resist, and they couldn't even stand up in battle, these days, if it weren't for the rescue of the 1,000 Manchu Eight Banners Army stationed in the city. I'm afraid that the Dashun army has already entered the city.

But these days, the 1,000 Manchu Eight Banners Army who helped defend the city also suffered heavy casualties, and the Manchu Eight Banners Army who got off the horse, although the combat power is still strong, but in the face of the Dashun Army, there is no way, and now the Manchu Eight Banners Army of 1,000 people in Jinan City can really fight less than 300 people. This is also the reason why Lu Chao is terrified in his heart, although there are still more than 20,000 Han troops under him. But Lu Chao knew that if he really fought, the combat power of the 20,000 people was not as good as the 20,000 pigs, at least the pigs were crazy and knew how to bite, but these Han soldiers only knew how to escape.

Just when Lu Chao was making a difficult choice, he was trying to send the disaster star of Niu Venus out. In order to save the lives of Jinan City and his whole family, he still ignored Li Zicheng's threat and resisted stubbornly, so as to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but his staff on the side spoke.

The staff is called Jiang Jianbin. is an old talent in his fifties, although he is just a talent, he is not pedantic, and he is very alert, especially for these people in the officialdom, who are quite proficient in the world, which is also the reason why Lu Chao trusts him.

"Are you ready to agree to Thief Li's request and send Niu Jinxing out, so as to preserve the stability of the people in Jinan?" Although Jiang Lao Xiucai had already seen that Lu Chao was a greedy person who was afraid of death, and he was most worried about his own life, but as Lu Chao's subordinate, he couldn't say it so directly, but gave Lu Chao a lofty excuse, and this is why he was able to get Lu Chao's trust so much.

Hearing Jiang Jianbin's words, Lu Chao suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, what Mr. said is very true, originally as a military general, Lu's duty was to protect the territory and the people, and do his best for the stability of the people, but now you have also seen that the thief army is powerful, and Lu is lonely, if you can really use the life of one person in exchange for the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, why not?" ”

Hearing Lu Chao's words, Jiang Lao Xiucai secretly slandered in his heart, and then said nervously, "No, no, my lord, don't do this, if the adult really hands over Niu Jinxing to Li Thief today, although it can solve the current predicament in Jinan, it will be very inappropriate for adults in the future, and even adults may lose their lives because of this, so my subordinates also ask adults to think twice." ”

Hearing Jiang Jianbin's words, the compassionate expression on Lu Chao's face just now suddenly converged, and he said with a surprised face, "Please tell me quickly, sir, what's going on, you know, Lu just handed over a useless bull Venus, in exchange for the life of hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan City, after the court knows about it in the future, even if it doesn't commend me, it should be worth the merits, how can it cause disasters because of this?" ”

Seeing the anxious expression on Lu Chao's face, Jiang Jianbin secretly felt happy in his heart, you know, this is also a common problem of literati at that time, especially those literati who assist the master, the most common means is to take the lead, that is, when encountering things, first exaggerate this matter infinitely to you, so that you will be disturbed because of nervousness, and when you are afraid of it, they will slowly say their attention, so as to prove how powerful my ability is, and how wise it is for you to invite me over, It also proves in disguise that I didn't eat for nothing, but did things.

"My lord, if it is someone else, the lord will hand him over, so as to exchange for the retreat of the army of Li Thief and the safety of Jinan City, even if the court does not give the adult a promotion, but a reward will not be less, but Niu Jinxing is different, if the adult really hands him over according to the words of the Li thief, I am afraid that the court will be unkind to the adult at that time." Jiang Jianbin said.

"But, but, but why is this, isn't it the same person, and Niu Jinxing is still a rebel general of the Dashun Army, is it necessary for the imperial court to value him so much?" Lu Chao said suspiciously.

"Hey, my lord, you still haven't figured out the reason for this, you should know about it! It is precisely because Niu Jinxing is a rebel general of the Dashun Army, so he really can't die, think about it, what is the origin of the imperial court now, they are foreign races to enter the customs, since ancient times, all foreign races enter the customs, want to rule the Central Plains, it is very difficult, far from it, the previous dynasty of the Great Yuan period, the force is really invincible in the world, but even so, in the end, they can unify the Central Plains, relying on the Han generals, and in the end, it is with the Han generals that they can really dominate the world, And then it was precisely because of the suppression of the Han generals that they had a hundred years of luck.

And today's imperial court, in terms of force, there is no way to compare with Dayuan, therefore, if they want to dominate the world, they can only rely on the support of the Han people, and although Niu Jinxing is not of much use now, he is the horse bone erected by the imperial court, and the imperial court just wants to let those who are still resisting the imperial court see, as long as they are willing to take refuge in me, I will give you a high-ranking official, otherwise, if you say a traitor, why should the imperial court give him a knight even if he is an official, is the court really idle.

Now, if the lord really handed over Niu Jinxing to Li Thief, then wouldn't it be a big slap in the face of the court, when the time comes, how will the people of the world look at the court, they will say, the court looks extremely powerful, but it can't even hold a general, and was successfully killed by a declining Dashun army, and even if this matter is announced to the world by Li Thief, then the court will be even more shameless, you say, who else will risk being cut by a thousand knives in the future to join the court, if that's really the case, How else can the imperial court continue to dominate the world?

My lord said that if this situation really happened, then what would the court do, and who would become the target of the court's anger. "I have to say that Jiang Jianbin's theory is still very wise, if Lu Chao really handed over Niu Jinxing, then the Manchu court would definitely kill Lu Chao for the sake of his own face to vent his anger.

After Jiang Jianbin finished speaking, Lu Chao was already sweating profusely when he heard it, and the thin summer shirt on his body seemed to have just been washed with water, dripping wet down.

Thinking that he was complacent just now in order to be able to solve the crisis in Jinan City without spending a single soldier, he didn't expect that this was actually a hole he almost dug for himself, if it was really according to Jiang Jianbin's words, then at that time, if he handed over Niu Jinxing to Li Zicheng, the first thing the court wanted to kill in order to vent his anger was himself, thinking about the consistent style of the Manchu court, this approach would not be wrong.

"How is this good, how is this good, forward is a volcano, this backward is hell at all, you say how can this official be so unlucky, he encountered this kind of thing, you said this damn disaster star Niu Venus, where can he go, you said that you are a big official, you don't go back to Beijing City to enjoy your happiness, you come to my Jinan City, isn't this a sincere disaster to my Jinan City, why don't you die early? Isn't there not so much going on when you're dead? Thinking of the cause of this incident, Lu Chao felt itchy at the root of his teeth, and he couldn't wait to bite Niu Venus hard to relieve the hatred in his heart.

After scolding Niu Jinxing for a long time, Lu Chao finally vented the anger in his heart, and finally sat on the chair weakly, not making a sound for a long time.
