Chapter 435: Losing His Wife and Breaking His Soldiers

Zhou Haoguang's brows furrowed, and he asked rhetorically to the deputy general beside him: "What do you mean, let the general surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army...."

Seeing the affirmative expression on the adjutant general's face, Zhou Haoguang's facial expression full of despair was directly replaced by anger. scolded loudly at the adjutant general in front of him: "Bastard....as a Ming general, you can even say such words as surrender, are you still a soldier?" Do you still have a little bit of a soldier's backbone in your eyes..."

"Besides, after Ben will lead you to surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army, what will Ben Jiang's family in the capital do..."

The adjutant general, who was in a panic, hurriedly explained: "General, it is said that we can stay in the green mountains, and we are not afraid of not being burned without material....as long as we live, these subordinates around the general will be able to survive, and you will have a chance to make a comeback, general...."

"As for the general, your family in the capital, the last general is sure that the imperial court will definitely not punish them because of this time...."

Judging from the current battle situation, the Tiger and Leopard Army left behind in the two provinces of Shanxi can completely stop the more than 100,000 troops touched by the imperial court outside the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Not only that, but the tiger and leopard armies in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will also severely damage or even completely annihilate several large armies dispatched by the imperial court. ”

"Under such circumstances, General, do you think it is possible for the imperial court to achieve the goal of directly smashing the Yellow Dragon... Since there is no way to directly smash the Yellow Dragon, it threatens the safety of the base camp of the Tiger and Leopard Army. The tens of thousands of northern troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army attacking the capital will launch an attack on the capital without any worries and force the imperial court to negotiate with them..."

Therefore, the last general can be sure that the current military conflict with the Tiger and Leopard Army will definitely end in a compromise with the imperial court. When the time comes. The imperial court, which suffered heavy losses in this military conflict. Not only will the general not be asked about your sins. Will continue to reuse you. Because, the imperial court needs generals like you, who have fought against the Haw Par Army, to retrain the army and make up for the battlefield losses..."

The deputy general's speculation, although Zhou Haoguang was very shocked.

However, Zhou Haoguang is not a fool either. After only a short analysis, one has to admit that all the analysis of the adjutant general. It's all well-founded.

With the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Tiger and Leopard Army in the battle just now, the Tiger and Par Army left behind in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces can completely annihilate us, as well as several other attacking armies.

Besides, with Zhou Haoguang's understanding of the Haw Par Army. The Haw Par Army, which has the idea of negotiating with the imperial court, will definitely not just attack the army they are in.

Perhaps at this time, several other armies, like themselves, were surrounded by the heavy forces of the Tiger and Leopard Army, waiting for their annihilation.

Thinking of this, Zhou Haoguang's face. Finally eased up.

Facing Zhou Haoguang's changing face, the deputy general also breathed a sigh of relief.

That's when it happened. A Haw Par musketeer suddenly walked towards Zhou Haoguang's location with a white flag.

Under the expectant gaze of Zhou Haoguang and the generals, a message that made all of them breathe a sigh of relief directly reached their ears.

"As long as everyone surrenders, the Shanxi Governor's Mansion will absolutely guarantee their safety. And in the future negotiations with the imperial court, we will return everyone to the imperial court..."

Faced with the two choices of death and life, Zhou Haoguang, who had already thought about it in his heart, undoubtedly chose to surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Having lost 5,000 cavalry, the biggest enemy, the thousands of infantry in the official barracks who were already leaderless had no combat effectiveness at all. The Haw Par Army, which followed the rout of the officers and troops all the way, only fired less than 10 rounds of flowering shells at the official barracks, and forced the remaining officers and troops in the barracks to surrender.

As soon as the battle in Yangquan County ended, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had already captured the first line of defense of the official army, received the news that the imperial court planned to hold peace talks.

In order to force the northern army to continue to attack the capital, at the instigation of the important ministers of the court, Emperor Chongzhen completely put down the so-called face. Directly in the way of announcing to the world, he proposed to hold peace talks with the Tiger and Par Army, demanding that the Northern Army immediately stop its military operations and not march to the capital again......

personally commanded the Wei Zheng of the Northern Army, and it was clear at a glance the purpose of the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen.

However, it was clear that Wei Zheng had to take over this trick played by the imperial court.

Because, at this moment, Wei Zheng has not yet reached the point where he can really replace the imperial court and replace Emperor Chongzhen.

Before he has a strong enough military strength, as long as he really attacks the capital and replaces Chongzhen. The entire Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall into a chaotic warlord situation.

More importantly, the hundreds of thousands of border troops defending the border will also lose their command because of this....

When the time comes, the lack of troops will have no way to ensure the stability of the entire border defense line.

In this case, Houjin, who has suffered a big loss in his own hands, will not let go of this opportunity to go south again to loot...

Tens of thousands of Houjin troops went south to loot the Central Plains, and warlords from all over the Ming Dynasty were divided, and there was chaos... All of these are the situations that he is about to face at this moment, after capturing the capital and replacing Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, in the case of only tens of thousands of elite Haw Par Army and 100,000 local garrisons. Wei Zheng would never do such a stupid thing as capturing the capital and replacing Emperor Chongzhen.

As a result, tens of thousands of troops marching to the north stopped in front of the second line of defense arranged by the imperial court outside the capital, unable to advance or retreat.

As time passes, the strength of the officers and troops in front of us continues to increase day by day.

Wei Zheng finally received the news that the two provinces of Shanxi had been attacked by more than 100,000 officers and troops.

The short-tempered Zhao Yun, after hearing the news, directly picked up a big knife and rushed into the military tent where the court negotiator was. I want to ask them why the court didn't keep its promise....

As long as these negotiators can't answer the question, they will use a big knife to cut off their heads.

Facing the angry Zhao Yun, he had long expected that there would be such a moment of court negotiators, and directly denied it.

"General Zhao, the imperial court has issued an order to all the officials and troops around the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi in the way of announcing to the world, and stop a military operation before receiving a new decree from the imperial court..."

"You all know all these circumstances....therefore, this official guesses that these officers and troops who attacked the two provinces of Shanxi must have acted in disobedience to the holy decree..."

"As long as General Zhao still believes in the imperial court, this official will immediately send a letter to the imperial court and let the imperial court thoroughly investigate the soldiers. And to stern these officers and soldiers, immediately withdraw their troops, and stop the military operations against the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi..."

Although I know that what the other party said is nonsense. However, Zhao Yun, who was born as a bandit, could be the opponent of these scholars in terms of quibbles.

In less than a few rounds of fighting, Zhao Yun, who came with an angry face, couldn't say a word under a series of rhetorical questions from the other party.

Faced with this result, a sneer flashed directly on Wei Zheng's face, whose face had not changed in the slightest from beginning to end.

Then, a trace of murderous aura emanated from Wei Zheng's body.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to instigate: "Dashuai....In the eyes of the last general, there is nothing to say to these nerds... Commander, you give the last general another chance, and the last general will cut off all their heads immediately..."

After cutting off their heads, they continued to attack the capital, killing directly outside the capital. Let the court know that our Haw Par Army is not so easy to play..."

Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head again. Finally, he said: "These civil officials really should be killed..."

"Our Ming Dynasty, the reason why it has become what it is today is caused by these civil officials..."

"However, killing is killing, but it is not killing now, nor is it killing us..."

Zhao Yun's brows furrowed, and he asked with a puzzled expression: "It's not that we kill, it's not that we kill it now....Marshal, I don't understand what you said..."

Wei Zheng opened his mouth to explain: "Judging from the current situation, the reason why the imperial court proposed to negotiate with us has only one purpose, that is, to entrust us here and give them time to attack the armies of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."

"As long as the imperial court can send troops to invade our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, in the face of the two choices of the base camp and the capital, we will definitely choose to withdraw our troops and return to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi."

"When the time comes, the crisis of the imperial court in the capital will be resolved...."

"Not only that, but the officers and troops who invade the two provinces will also wreak havoc in the two provinces and weaken our strength. What's more, on the way we retreat, they will give us a beating water dog..."

Seeing Zhao Yun nodding in acquiescence, Wei Zheng's words changed and continued: "However, can we make the purpose of the imperial court realized...... If the court can put us together, we can also put the court together..."

"Ben Shuai had already thought about this problem before he set out. That's why Wang Feng was left in Datong, and in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, he left behind a full 20,000 well-equipped tiger and leopard troops..."

"Not only that, Ben Shuai also gave Wang Feng a general order, at a critical moment, the 20,000 elites we left behind in the two provinces of Shanxi can also fight the two provinces of Shanxi with the cooperation of the local garrison, further expand our territory, and let the court lose the wife and the army."

"Do you think that with our left-behind troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, even the more than 100,000 attack troops sent by the imperial court will not be able to stop it?"

"Absolutely can be stopped..."Zhao Yun, who was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army, replied without thinking about it.

"Not only can it be stopped, as long as General Wang's appetite is big enough, he can also take this opportunity to eliminate a few elites sent by the imperial court, and according to your general's order, we will fight the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi and expand our territory..."

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "This is what Ben Shuai wants..."

"The imperial court plans to put us together with this attack, and the marshal can also use this counteroffensive to put the imperial court together, so that the imperial court will not be able to say if there is suffering..."

"As long as we can win in this counteroffensive, in the face of heavy losses on the front line, in the face of the strong front of our northern army. No matter how unwilling the court is, it has to really compromise with us. ”

"When the time comes, we can make a request to the imperial court and let the imperial court kill these civil officials who don't know what to do." (To be continued......)
