"Throw down your blades and come over one by one with your heads in your hands!"

The Liaodong Army was experienced in accepting surrenders, and several generals commanded soldiers to block the entrances of various streets, shouting at the rebels in the encirclement, and at the same time closely monitoring each other to guard against the situation that might arise at any time to break through the encirclement.

The rebels had long stopped fighting each other, and Biyun wanted to encourage his subordinates to break through, but at this time, there was still anyone willing to listen to his command. In normal times, he is a general, and he has the right to kill his subordinates. And now, he, like others, is a criminal waiting to be disposed of, and everyone avoids it, how can he fight with him?

The rebel officers and soldiers walked towards the Ming army one after another, and they first threw out the weapons in their hands according to the instructions of the Ming army, and then held their heads in both hands, and slowly walked to the side of the Ming army, obediently waiting for the other party to tie themselves with ropes and tie them strongly, and then pushed them aside to wait for their orders.

"Come one by one, don't rob!"

"Say what about you, what are you anxious about, it will be your turn!"

"Don't run, don't you listen!"

"Slam!" For those rebels who don't know whether to turn their ears or make awkward mistakes, and who are desperate to surrender, the best order is the shooting of the musketeers. The gunners of the survey battalion stood on the ridge of the roof with a wide field of vision, and the entire surrender site could be seen at a glance. They stared at the rebels below with their guns, and when they encountered disobedient people, they raised their hands to shoot them, and as for which part they hit, it depends on the character of the parties.

"General Zu, this is the head of the traitor Liu Dongyang. Forgiveness will be incompetent, I wanted to go to take the head of Bibai, but I had no choice but to meet Bibai's subordinates in a narrow way, and failed to make contributions. ”

Xu Chao, Liu Chuanbai, Zhang and others held Liu Dongyang's head, knelt in front of Zu Chengxun, and waited for his fate.

"Why don't you capture Liu Dongyangsheng? There are so many of you, it's not difficult to capture him alive, right? Zu Chengxun ordered his subordinates to put away their heads and reprimanded Xu Chao and the others.

"This ...... The main reason is that Liu Yi resisted arrest, and we had to strike first. Xu Chao explained.

In fact, the ideas of Xu Chao and others are not so simple. Under the circumstances of the time. Liu Dongyang already had the intention of surrendering, but he didn't have time to say it yet. Of course, Xu Chao and the others would not allow Liu Dongyang to surrender on his own initiative, and killing Liu Dongyang was a strategy they had discussed in advance. Because if Liu Dongyang took the initiative to surrender, he would not be able to show the merits of Xu Chao and others, Liu Chuanbai had already received an order from Ye Mengxiong, that is, Liu Dongyang would die. A few of them can get away with the crime by killing Liu Dongyang.

"So, where is Bibai now?" Zu Chengxun asked.

"I don't know." Xu Chao said, his eyes glanced at Biyun who was under the protection of several guards, so he pointed with his hand and said to Zu Chengxun: "General Zu, look." It was Bibai's righteous son, Biyun, and he must know Bibai's whereabouts. ”

"Capture him alive." Zu Chengxun commanded.

"This ......" Xu Chao hesitated for a moment, and immediately made up his mind, he turned around, picked up a big knife, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to capture Biyun!" ”

Liu Chuanbai, Zhang and others also knew that this was an opportunity to clear their hands. hurriedly shouted his own soldiers to follow.

Biyun was standing on a street corner, with only five or six guards left around him, and when he saw Xu Chao and the others murderously approaching, he shouted fiercely: "What are you going to do!" ”

"General Bi, General Zu of the Ming Army has something to ask you, let our brother come and invite you over." Xu Chao said.

"Do you want to give me credit?" Biyun asked.

Xu Chaodao: "General Bi, do you still want to resist?" ”

"Who wants to resist? Ben will ...... Originally, he planned to return to the imperial court. Biyun said unashamedly.

"Then let's go, General Zu is still waiting for you there." Xu Chao said. The big knife in his hand still maintained a posture of preparing to attack.

"General Zu, this general is willing to surrender, this general is willing to surrender!" Biyun shouted to Zu Chengxun at the top of his voice. He was really afraid that Xu Chao would use him as an excuse to resist arrest and kill him as a gift, so he hurriedly declared his attitude to Zu Chengxun, hoping to let Zu Chengxun ensure his safety.

"Xu Chao, don't hurt him. Bring him here. Of course, Zu Chengxun understood the purpose of Biyun's shouting, he sneered in his heart, but he still gave Xu Chao an order.

Xu Chao and the others were so sorry, but Zu Chengxun had spoken. It was inconvenient for them to move Biyun anymore, so they just escorted Biyun to Zu Chengxun with a knife, then threw away the knife and knelt on the side.

After Biyun knew that his safety was guaranteed, he also threw the knife and knelt down to kowtow to Zu Chengxun repeatedly. Zu Chengxun said: "You are Biyun? ”

"The sin will be the cloud." Biyun replied.

"What is the purpose of asking you to bring troops over?" Zu Chengxun asked.

Biyun said: "Bi Bai asked me to go to the general military mansion that surrounded Liu Dongyang, beheaded Liu Dongyang, and sacrificed his head to pay for his crimes." ”

"Do you know where Bibai is now?" Zu Chengxun asked.

"My father-in-law...... Ah, no, the thief is in the house now. "Biyun Road.

"How many people are there in the Bibai Mansion?" Zu Chengxun asked again.

Biyun said: "There are still 3,000 people in the mansion, mainly the Cangtou army. ”

"And three thousand blue-headed troops?" Zu Chengxun's heart moved, "Aren't these you bringing the elite of Bibai's subordinates?" ”

"These are all Ningxia Wei's sergeants, not elite." Biyun replied in a daze. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little strange, Liu Dongyang's men could mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses, since Bibai wanted to take Liu Dongyang's head, why would he let him bring two thousand Ningxia Wei soldiers who were not too elite to come over, and he was reluctant to use the Cangtou army?

"It's not good, it's a bang!" Zu Chengxun thought of the problem one step earlier than Biyun, but now that he was surrounded by thousands of rebels, he could no longer have the manpower to besiege Bibai Mansion.

Outside the city of Ningxia, several war horses galloped from the north of the city to the south of the city, and the knight on the horse jumped down, and under the guidance of the guards, came to Ye Mengxiong, and reported: "Report! With 3,000 cavalry, Bibai went out of the north gate and forcibly broke through and left! ”

"This traitor really ran away!" Ye Mengxiong clapped his fist and sighed.

Although the Ming army had 100,000 people, it was still quite difficult to besiege Ningxia City. Ye Mengxiong let the Liaodong Army attack the southern city, and Ma Qiancheng and Xiao Ruxun attacked the eastern and western cities respectively, and the besieging forces outside the north gate were inevitably a little empty. Ye Mengxiong didn't think about the possibility of breaking through the siege, but the troops were insufficient, and he couldn't stop him if he wanted to, so he could only go.

Bibai sent Biyun to kill Liu Dongyang, and what he saved was the intention of striking the east and attacking the west. The Ming army besieged Ningxia City, and there was a vacancy in the north, which Bibai had long noticed. After sending Biyun to leave with 2,000 soldiers and horses, Bi Bai led 3,000 Cangtou troops to Beicheng together with Bi Chengen and Tu Wenxiu, opened the city gate, and broke through.

There was also a section of the Liaodong Army defending outside the northern city, and when he saw a group of men and horses pouring out of the city, he naturally wanted to go forward to fight. Bibai wanted to flee for his life, all the cavalry he brought with him, the horses were fast and the guns were heavy, the Liaodong army couldn't stop it, and they soon tore a hole open, and the big team of men and horses and wolves rushed away. The general Zuo who led the army had no choice but to ask Ye Mengxiong for his guilt.

"Bibai is brave, and when he broke through, he brought his most elite Cangtou army, and it was indeed not the general's fault to let him rush out." Xiao Ruxun excused the general of the Liaodong Army on the side.

"What Mr. Xiao said is that if you want to escape, you can't easily stop it." Ye Mengxiong didn't embarrass the general, but his face was full of regret.

Chen Dao said: "Bibai was originally a Tatar, and if he escapes, he must only go back to the grassland, so as not to harm my Ming Dynasty again." ”

Su Hao said: "He can run the first year of junior high school, but he can't run fifteen, even if he escapes back to the grassland, can't we chase him to the grassland and arrest him?" ”

Ye Mengxiong laughed and said, "It's easy to change it, I fled into the grassland, and if I want to catch him back, I'm afraid it won't be easy." However, what Chen Langzhong said is also right, if you go back to the grassland, you can't harm my Ming anymore. We were able to recover Ningxia City, which is a great achievement. Whether or not you can catch Bibai is not the most important thing. ”

When the Governor said this, there was no burden on everyone's hearts. Li Rusong, Xiao Ruxun, Ma Qiancheng, Su Hao and others respectively commanded their own teams and entered Ningxia City in several ways and began to restore order in the city.

Liu Dongyang was killed, Xu Chao, Liu Chuanbai, Biyun and others were captured, and Bibai and others fled, and the rebels in the city were leaderless. When the Ming army entered the city, they did not encounter any resistance, and everywhere they went, the rebel officers and soldiers were all tied, and the only thing that Ye Mengxiong and others had to worry about was how to place so many prisoners.

Dang Xin's original governor's yamen was cleaned up and temporarily served as Ye Mengxiong's governor's palace. Li Rusong, Xiao Ruxun and other generals were summoned to the chamber of the governor's palace to discuss the aftermath of the Ningxia battle.

"The sergeant is innocent." Xiao Ruxun said, "The first evils are Bibai and Liu Dongyang, and the accomplices are Xu Chao, Biyun and others, as for these lower-level sergeants, they are completely coerced and should not be punished." ”

"Maybe you still have to check it out to see if anyone has a blood debt during the fall of Ningxia. It's not appropriate to ignore the past at all. Su Hao reminded.

Xiao Ruxun said: "The reminder is right, Xiao has already asked people to arrange the captives according to the original system, and the next step is to inquire deeply to see which people have acted as tigers, and these people must be singled out and severely punished." ”

Ye Mengxiong said: "This governor has promised, the first evil will be done, and the threat will never ask." Xu Chao and Biyun need to be sent back to Beijing to wait for the imperial court to fall, and as for the routed troops in the city, it is not appropriate to kill them indiscriminately, so as not to provoke a mutiny again. ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "Governor, rest assured, the last general will definitely not kill indiscriminately, except for a very few people who are indeed full of blood debts, the rest of the guilty people will try to spare their lives as much as possible." Governor Ye, do you think it is appropriate to let these criminals go to the coal mine to dig coal to pay for their crimes? ”

"Hahaha, Ji Xin originally saved this idea." Ye Mengxiong said with a smile, "You are the chief military officer of Ningxia, how to deal with your soldiers, the governor will not interfere." ”
