Wang Lanping didn't answer him, because he knew that even if he said that he would break through the sky, Li Laixiang would take Huaining before Yuan Zongdi arrived, this is a matter of face, and it doesn't matter whether he wants to fight or not, as for Huaining City, it is no longer a problem to defend it or not, how to retreat with his whole body is the most important thing.

"The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, say goodbye" Wang Lanping is about to leave, waiting for Li Laixiang to further vent his confidence, so that he can strive for more benefits.

Sure enough, when he saw that Wang Lanping was leaving, Li Laixiang hurriedly said, "You really want to burn the jade in this city."

Wang Lanping walked unhurriedly, but he still didn't look back, but he was secretly happy in his heart, although he was more anxious than Li Laixiang to solve this matter, if he really wanted to defend Huaining, then he would be dead, if it was really the army of Dashun that arrived, then it would be difficult for him to ride a tiger.

Li Laixiang is not an ordinary person, he also guessed from Wang Lanping's deliberate slowing down that this person may not really guard Huaining at all, and eighty percent is to go to Nanjing to find a good errand and put on a façade here, but in case one person is really dead here, Rao is own people are more powerful, and if Huaining is taken, there are still a few of these 6,000 people left, and the result is still unable to gain a foothold in the army.

Li Laixiang saw that it was not good to come soft, so he wanted to come to the hard one, "Wang Zhuangyuan, if I attack the city tonight, can you defend it?" ”

At this time, Wang Lanping stopped, glanced back at him, not surprised at all by such a blatant intimidation, and smiled indifferently, "General Li, if I attack your camp at night before you attack the city, can you still attack the city?" ”

The two of them are talking nonsense again, what are the two sides attacking, the more they talk, the more unlikely it will happen.

"Haha! The two looked at each other at the same time and laughed tacitly.

"Let's be straight, Wang Zhuangyuan, what do you want?" Li Laixiang came to Wang Lanping's side, and the relationship between the two did not look like enemies from anywhere, but like a pair of businessmen talking about business with confidence.

That's what Wang Lanping wants, "Okay, three conditions"

"Which three?"

"One, I want five hundred horses, two, I will never kill or rob one person in Huaining City, and third, I will make you a friend"

Li Laixiang opened his eyes, not to mention this condition, so many soldiers died in vain, he spread his hands and smiled, "That's it?" ”

"That's it" Wang Lanping was serious this time, he originally wanted to open more conditions, but he didn't say anything, he was really uneasy in conscience, he pulled the flag and set off the cannon for a long time, and the whole city let himself be sold when he twisted his face, this trick is really yin, isn't there no way, who called himself the champion of the Chongzhen Dynasty to change the dynasty before he was hot, once the son of heaven and a courtier, went to the Hongguang Dynasty, who took you, the champion with no soldiers and no background, as a green onion.

Li Laixiang was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll give you six hundred war horses, the people of Huaining City are also the people of Dashun, I don't have to kill them, as for your friend, I'm done."

"Okay, before dawn tomorrow, I will withdraw from Huaining City"

"A Gentleman's Word"

"Horses are hard to chase"

"Wang Zhuangyuan, this farewell, I hope you and I will not meet in the future in the war"

"Hopefully, General Lee, I still have a request"

"But there is no defense"

"Please bury my soldiers, as well as Huaining Zhi County, they are all heroes"

"Each is born to be his master, and after death, he should release his previous suspicions, if you don't say it, I will do it, rest assured"

"Okay, that's a word, thank you"

"You're welcome, before dark, I'll send someone to send the war horse to the city"

The two cooperate very tacitly, both sides can figure out other things from each other's faces, knowing that it is unwise to insist on it instead of doing it, such a result is the most beneficial for everyone at the moment, Li Laixiang got Huaining, saved the face of the main general, Wang Lanping became famous in a battle, retreated, and saved Huaining City from the war.

In the county Yahua Hall, Wang Lanping, Song Dali, and Zheng Sen sat on both sides, and there were more than a dozen Wu Changshi who survived the Fengzi Battalion standing in the hall, and the expressions on the faces of these people were different, some were happy, some were lost, and some kept sighing, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Song Dali coughed, stood up, and wanted to come out to make a round, "This, they are all brothers who have experienced life and death together, don't worry, listen to the general's words"

Zheng Sen's face sank, and he said angrily, "Zheng is not a person from the Fengzi Battalion, and he doesn't take the imperial court, General Wang, I can't accompany you and say goodbye."

With that, Zheng Sen got up and was about to leave.

"Slow, Zheng Zhuangshi, do you really want to fight again?" Wang Lanping spoke, came back from outside the city, he called some veterans of the Fengzi battalion to the county office, and told everyone that Huaining City had been sacrificed, and everyone could retreat with their whole body.

Zheng Sen turned his back to Wang Lanping and stopped, "I came to Huaining to kill thieves, not to help some people escape, since there is no one left here, I will find another place, I don't believe it, there is no one in the Ming Dynasty who dares to speak out, I am wrong."

Wang Lanping walked over and patted Zheng Sen's back shoulder, "Sit down for a while, it's not too late to leave after listening to me."

"Yes, yes, General Wang naturally has his reasons for doing this, listen to it first, and then it's not too late for everyone to make a decision, come, sit, sit" Song Dali hurriedly echoed and became a peacemaker.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, sat on the ground, and looked at Wang Lanping.

Wang Lanping came back and walked a few steps in front of everyone, and said, "I know, there must be some of you who don't understand, and they are not reconciled, obviously we have repelled the Shun army, why do we abandon the city, so many brothers have died, and they are just given up, you will think that their death is too worthless, right?" ”

There was no answer, but no one refuted the idea.

Wang Lanping continued, "Zheng Zhuangshi, what are you doing with your pen, not hesitating to scatter your wealth to recruit troops and buy horses, and come thousands of miles to come?" ”

Zheng Sen's head was biased, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband"

"Good!" Wang Lanping smiled approvingly, "But have you ever thought about it, just with the strength of one, the courage of the horseman, even if you can block ten with one, what can you do, the sages said, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, in order to level the world, what is self-cultivation, can bend and stretch the person is the husband, everything can not be reversed, now although we have a small victory, but the 100,000 army of the Shun army is coming, Huaining City is only time, really at that time, you and I, still in this city, the people of the whole city will suffer"

Zheng Sen was unconvinced, "It is better to die in battle than to be a deserter"

Wang Lanping nodded, "That's right, soldiers, the horse leather shroud is the best destination, but it's worth dying like this, it's easy to die, it affects the people of the whole city, this is not what I want to see, now, they have promised me that after receiving Huaining, they will never kill a single person, and the living defenders can be evacuated safely, this is already the best result."

A school general sitting on the ground interjected, "But hundreds of brothers have died in our Fengzi Battalion here, do you want them to die in vain?" ”

Wang Lanping turned around and pointed at him, "No, it is by no means a vain death, without them, the city would have been lost a long time ago, their death has brought us concessions from the Shun army, forcing them to accept our conditions, it is easy to hold a city, if you want to hold the Ming Dynasty, what is the gain or loss of this city and a place, not to mention that we have saved the people here"

Song Dali said, "Then, where will we go after abandoning the city?" ”

"Good question!" Wang Lanping walked to Song Dali's side and glanced at everyone, "Where are you going?" Go to Nanjing, go to the imperial court, give up here, it does not mean that we are afraid of them, but we can't die in vain, Shun army south, we are the first to take the initiative to attack and block them, we are heroes, we are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, we can go to Nanjing in a beautiful way, find the emperor, find those big officials, ask for money, food and soldiers, accumulate strength, and then fight back, recover Huaining, not only Huaining City, but also recover the Central Plains, recover the entire Great Tomorrow"

"The general is far-sighted, I Song Dali will go with you" In fact, Song Dali had already guessed that he was born in the martial arts, familiar with the world's military books, and studied the offensive and defensive battles of the previous dynasties.

Without waiting for Wang Lanping to speak again, Song Dali stood up again and said, "Zheng Zhuangshi, as well as all the old guys of the Fengzi Battalion, General Wang has talked about everything, and even the back road has been considered for everyone, what else can you not understand, think about it, have you ever fought a bloody battle like yesterday in your life, the enemy was outnumbered, but we won, why, because of General Wang, his strategy, his bravery, it was he who led us to do the impossible, I believe, this is just the beginning, There will be more possibilities in the future, it is our honor to follow such a general, and now you will give the truth, do you still have to follow the general"

The Fengzi battalion was originally a force that Wang Lanping put together temporarily, and the members came from many troops, but only he Wang Lanping had no subordinate relationship, and he was able to get together during the war, and now he had to withdraw, if anyone wanted to leave, it was really not good to forcibly stop them, after all, yesterday Wang Lanping said that he would fight with everyone in Huaining City to the end in order to boost morale before the war, and he would leave in a day, which was too difficult to speak, and it was too difficult for everyone to understand that today's departure was for tomorrow's stronger coming, which was too difficult.

In the end, he was a soldier, and he had some ideas about the attack and defense on the battlefield, and everyone whispered for a while, and finally a few people stood up first, "I, I'll go with the general"

"I'm going to follow, too"

"And me"

"......" Wang Lanping smiled secretly: Even you can't deal with it, so don't mess with the world.

The flower hall suddenly became a group of harmonious people, and the goal was the same, only Zheng Sen didn't say a word, but the resolute attitude on his face had eased.

"Zheng Zhuangshi, what about you? Do you want to come with us too? Wang Lanping asked.

Zheng Sen was silent, slowly stood up from his chair, and said calmly, "General, it's not that I don't understand the reason to avoid its edge, it's just, it's just ......."

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Lanping didn't ask, turned to Lord Song and the others and said, "Everyone go back and prepare, before we don't withdraw, don't relax your vigilance against the Shun army, Song Qianhu, post a notice, I will take all those who are willing to go with us, and I will escort them across the river safely."

"Yes! General"

And they all withdrew.

Wang Lanping poured a cup of tea and walked to Zheng Sen's side, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
