"Father, according to your instructions, I went into the capital to meet Zhang Dali, Wu Guoxiong and others, they now have a big house in the capital, and they are living a comfortable life. Update they told me that what Lord Yue said was right, the generals under them were indeed officers and soldiers issued by the Ministry of Officials, and they had already taken office, although they were all idle positions, but they all had a good life and a house, and the big guys had a good life. Moreover, Zhang Dali also wrote a letter to his father and asked him to take a look. ”

After Zhang Xianzhong entered the Yue Su camp, Yue Su did not let him leave, Zhang Xianzhong knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to leave, so he arranged for Li Dingguo to return to the camp, and found Sun Kewang to go to the Beijing division together to see how the troops who had been sent to the Beijing division were doing.

When I arrived in Beijing, I found Zhang Dali and others, and immediately learned that Lord Yue kept his promise and arranged official positions for them, regardless of whether they were big officials or small officials, they were all rewarded with houses, and their lives were very happy. Especially Zhang Dali, who is in charge, the houses arranged for them are very spacious, with a lot of maids and servants in them, and they are like rich people. In Zhang Dali's words, in the past, he fought and killed, but he wanted to live such a life, not to submit to the court, no matter how rich he was, he had to be afraid, worried that one day, the court would call him, and now that he has returned to the court, he is a legitimate official, and he has no worries.

As for whether the imperial court will settle accounts with them after the autumn, Zhang Dali said that Lord Yue had already made a blood alliance with them at the beginning, and he would definitely not be treacherous, you know, what kind of character Lord Yue is.

Zhang Dali and Zhang Xianzhong are not bad, so they wrote a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, introducing their current life and persuading Zhang Xianzhong that if he really can't beat the court, it is better to surrender while he still has some capital.

Although Sun Kewang was unwilling, when he saw this situation, he could only accept his fate, after all, the court really gave him treatment. Li Dingguo just took Zhang Dali's letter, returned to the Yuesu camp, and reported what he saw and heard in Beijing to Zhang Xianzhong in 1510.

Zhang Xianzhong took the letter from Li Dingguo's hand, and after reading it, he said: "Since this is the case, then let's descend." In this way, you tell the soldiers outside the tent and say that I want to see Yue Shuai. ”

Outside Zhang Xianzhong's sleeping tent, there were more than 50 soldiers standing guard and patrolling, Li Dingguo went out, called a soldier, told the soldier what his father-in-law meant, and asked him to hurry up and spread the word. The soldier agreed, and immediately rushed to the Chinese military tent.

In the Chinese military tent, Yue Su was holding a report of arrival, which was jointly sent by Sima Qiaoyu and Zuo Liangyu, and the content on it was very simple, that is, Li Zicheng had entered Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong's generals had already surrendered to Li Zicheng

Regarding Li Zicheng's entry into Sichuan from Xiangyang, Yue Su had already received news from Xing Ying a few days ago, although he knew about this matter, he was also powerless. With Xing Ying's soldiers and horses, it is already rare to be able to stop the Liukou from Huguang, and it is really difficult to take care of Sichuan again.

However, Lord Yue's purpose is to eliminate them one by one, and it is not difficult to settle Zhang Xianzhong first, and then concentrate on dealing with Li Zicheng in the future.

This kung fu, a soldier reported, saying that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to ask to see. Li Dingguo had just returned to the camp, and Yue Su had also received the news, and it was estimated that it would not be long before Zhang Xianzhong would take the initiative to ask for a meeting. He put the newspaper aside and said, "Please come here." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier took the order and rushed back, and after a while, Zhang Xianzhong brought it.

Yue Su invited him in, the two of them talked about the courtesy, Yue Su asked Zhang Xianzhong to sit down, and then said: "Zhang Dudu, I don't know what you are asking to see this handsome man for at this moment?" ”

"Yue Shuai, Zhang's intention, you must have guessed that it was for my subordinates to accept the appeasement. The people sent by Zhang to Beijing have returned, and Lord Yue is indeed as good as a mountain, so Zhang is also willing to lead his troops to surrender sincerely. Not only did all the soldiers and horses in front of him surrender to the imperial court, but even the soldiers and horses and generals in the river also surrendered together. Zhang Xian said loyally. …,

"Zhang Dudu, at this moment, those generals in your military camp, this commander can go with you to recruit today. However, your soldiers and horses in Sichuan, whether they will submit to the imperial court or not, I'm afraid it's not up to you to say. Yue Su said.

"How is it possible, they are all Zhang's subordinates, as long as Zhang Mou's words, they will definitely return to the imperial court. Why did Yue Shuai say this? Zhang Xianzhong said.

"Ben Shuai has just received the report, Li Zicheng has already entered Sichuan, and now he has taken over all your territory, and even your generals have surrendered to Li Zicheng. Zhang Dudu wants to make them surrender, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Yue Su replied lightly.

"Ah......" Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback, and then said angrily: "Li Zicheng! You treacherous villain! Lao Tzu is here to contain the official army, but he is going to take my territory, Lao Tzu and you are incompatible! ”

"Zhang Dudu, dissipate the anger, the matter has come to this point, it is useless for you to scold." Yue Su said in a gentle tone.

"Yue Shuai, if you believe Zhang, please give Zhang a piece of soldiers and horses, Zhang is willing to fight to the death for the front, Ichuan and Li Zicheng, and cut this treacherous villain with his own hands!" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"Zhang Dudu, you have the heart to make meritorious contributions to the court, and Ben Shuai is very pleased. However, Zhang Dudu is a hero in the world, comparable to a tiger wolf, it is easy to bind a tiger, but it is difficult to indulge a tiger. In the battle of Carriage Gorge, although Li Zicheng surrendered, Ben Shuai still remembers this lesson. Yue Su said with a smile.

Regarding Zhang Xianzhong's initiative to ask for help, Yue Su unabashedly expressed his distrust. It may be chilling, but it's a big truth. You have so many deceitful people that you can be reassured.

Zhang Xianzhong is worthy of being a hero in the world, hearing this, although he was a little angry in his heart, he didn't show it, nodded and said: "Yue Shuai's words are true, if you and I sit in a different position, Zhang is probably the same." Okay, Yue Shuai sent troops to attack Li Chuang, in the end to entrust anyone to the front army, Zhang doesn't have to worry about this, you and I still have to study the matter of appeasement, Zhang only hopes that when the marshal breaks through Chengdu, the generals of the original class will be the last general, and if they can be appeased, they will try to appease them. ”

"It's nature." Yue Su bowed his head with satisfaction, and then said: "This chapter of this marshal's request for canonization of the governor has been sent to the Jingshi, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the decree will be issued." Most of the generals under the command of the governor are unknown, otherwise, the governor will summon them to come now, and the commander will record their names and surnames one by one, and by the way, they will get to know each other, so as to protect their official positions. ”

Good guy, Yue Su this time, let all the generals under Zhang Xianzhong come over, if this is the case, Zhang Xianzhong will not even have a little capital. However, now that the verdict has been negotiated, how to settle it, Yue Su said it clearly, and it seems that you don't need any more capital to negotiate. Since you are sincerely obedient to the imperial court, what does Yue Dashuai say, what should you do, if you are not respectful, is it called having two ambitions. Besides, once your troops are reorganized, no one of the generals will want to lead troops, and they will all go to Beijing to serve as idle officials, and at that time, it will not be easy to clean you up.

Zhang Xianzhong hesitated, thinking that now that he is accepting Zhao'an, he has to show his attitude, just like Lord Yue said, you have returned to the imperial court, do you still want to raise troops by yourself. Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "What the marshal said is good, in this way, I will write a letter now, let my son Dingguo take it back, and summon the generals under his command to the marshal camp." ”

"Good." Yue Su nodded with satisfaction and said, "Come on, get pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Zhang Dudu." ”

Soon, a guard brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and moved a table for Zhang Xianzhong and asked him to write. Zhang Xianzhong was not ambiguous, wrote a letter with a brush, and then asked Li Dingguo to send it back to his military camp. …,

Li Dingguo took Zhang Xianzhong's handwritten letter back to the camp, summoned the generals, and read it out in public. After he finished reading, the generals were in an uproar, and they were all stunned, what does this mean, how can we all go to Yue Su's camp now, if this is the case, once Yue Su turns his face and kills us all, our soldiers and horses, the dragons are leaderless, and the officers and soldiers are attacking, wouldn't it be vulnerable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the father-in-law wrote a letter to let everyone pass, and naturally there is a reason for the father-in-law. Didn't my father also say in the letter, Yue Dashuai is known as the blue sky, and his words are like a mountain, if you don't go, won't it seem that we are not sincere in surrendering. Li Dingguo saw that everyone was talking, and suddenly said loudly.

"Brother, that's right, but we've all passed, so wouldn't Yue Su have no scruples." Liu Wenxiu was the first to say.

"Yes...... But what Dingguo said is also right, if you don't go, it seems that we are not really surrendering, now the lord is still in the hands of Yue Su, really move troops to fight, we have no leader, and we are no longer Yue Su's opponent. I think it's better to listen to the lord. Wang Shangli was more serious, and then said.

"It's not right to go, it's not right not to go, or that's it. Go half, leave half, at least have some capital left, which can ensure the safety of those who go. Sun Kewang said.

"This is a method, then according to what Sun Kewang said, let's go half and leave half." ……

Sun Kewang's suggestion was supported by the majority of the people, and everyone expressed their approval. Immediately, a simple meeting was held to determine which generals would follow Li Dingguo to the Yuesu camp and which would stay behind.

Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were more righteous, so they quickly discussed it. Among the main generals, Sun Kewang, Wang Shangli, and Ma Yuanli stayed behind, and one-third of the middle and low-level generals remained. Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Wang Dingguo followed Li Dingguo, and two-thirds of the middle and low-level generals went with them.

In this way, at least there is still the backbone of the battalion, and if the officers and soldiers really do it, they can fight for a while, and they will not be directly defeated.

At the end of the meeting, Li Dingguo led the generals to the Yuesu camp, and reported at the camp gate, and the soldiers directly told Li Dingguo, "The commander has an order, and after General Li and other generals arrive, they will go directly to the camp to teach the military field to meet." Just come with me. ”
