Zu Dashou and Zhang Shenyan's thinking is still stuck in the classical society.

I don't know that the Ming Dynasty is already a modern country, and his army is also a modern army, so it is not applicable to the Ming Guards in the classical society that "the soldiers who surrender without a fight are superior".

What the Ming Dynasty wants now is not to unify the world.

He is a capital group, what he wants is to maximize his interests, and to put it bluntly, he is sacrificing the interests he has obtained in the war to complete political and military reunification, which is naturally not what the Ming Dynasty wants to see.

Therefore, Zu Dashou and Zhang Shenyan still naively thought that Da Ming would really appease them.

As everyone knows, at this time, the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Ming Guards and the hired Korean Army had already begun to approach from Cao Zhuangyi towards the center and right of Ningzhou when Zu Dashou and others were paralyzed by a letter from Zhang Huangyan.

This time, in order to achieve the goal of annihilating the living force of Zu Dashou outside Shanhaiguan.

The Guards no longer only let the North Korean Army undertake the main battle tasks, and Jiao Lian, the deputy chief officer of the Second Corps, also mobilized the main force of the entire Second Corps of the Guards.

Among them, the first battalion of cavalry has even driven all the way from Caozhuang Station to Yinchuan Camp Fort, and even took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to occupy Xianling Temple Fort, and the second cavalry battalion also seized Dongguan Station.

These two places are both behind the Ningyuan Central Right Office, and they are the only way for the Ningyuan Central Right Station to withdraw from the Guangning Central Right Station.

In other words, the two battalions of the cavalry of the Guards Army have also used the rapid mobility advantage of the cavalry to block Zu Dashou's retreat.

At the same time, the infantry and artillery of the Guards Army and the North Korean Army, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, had also come to the five miles from the middle and right of Ningyuan, and had divided their troops to capture the two strongholds of Xiaotuanshan Fort and Xianlingsi Fort.

As a result, Zu Dashou even had little hope of retreating to the northern Mongolian region.

At this time, Zu Dashou also learned from his own people that a large number of guards appeared from Cao Zhuangyi, and he even began to wonder if the guards were going to fight his Ningyuan Zhonghou Station, but he didn't think that it was likely that this was just someone who was fighting at the same time as he was appeased.

Zu Dashou also asked Zhang Shenyan: "Why didn't the students of the adults send envoys to talk about the appeasement first, but the army moved together, and there was a great tendency to attack the city and seize the wall?" ”

Zhang Shenyan was also a little puzzled by this, but now he was also difficult to ride a tiger, so he said:

"Don't worry about the ancestor, if they want to enter the customs, they will naturally have to send the army to Shanhaiguan, and of course, they also want to come to Ningyuan Zhongyou to force the marshal to sign the alliance under the city by showing military might."

Zu Dashou thought that Zhang Shenyan's Ming army was the most likely to force him to sign an alliance under the city, so he also said: "Although the old man now has to admit that their Ming army may be different from before, it is also difficult to easily scare the old man, and the old man will order all the soldiers to go to the city to defend the enemy, so that these Ming troops can see our prestige!" ”

Zu Dashou thus missed the last chance to escape.

At this time, the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army had completed the encirclement of Ningyuan's central right station, Jiao Lian began to arrange the siege order, and Zhang Huangyan also ordered someone to send a gift to Zu Dashou and Zhang Shenyan.

Zu Dashou and Zhang Shenyan couldn't wait for the Ming army's appeasement envoy to be very anxious, and even Zhang Shenyan personally ran to the city gate to inquire, and this time he learned from the city guard that the Ming army had sent a gift.

Zhang Shenyan took it first, opened it and took a look, but found that it was Zu Zepu's head.

Zhang Shenyan suddenly came to his senses and said in his heart:

"Zhang Huangyan, the student who dared to love himself, has never wanted to listen to his own arrangement, and has no intention of appeasing Zu Dashou, and even came to Jiang Gan to steal the book and take me Zhang Shenyan as Jiang Gan, so that Zu Dashou lost the last opportunity to escape back to Shanhaiguan.

"Okay, you Zhang Huangyan, you dare to be a teacher, do you still have a teacher in your eyes!"

Zhang Shenyan scolded in his heart, but at this time he could only pretend to be calm, and secretly thought to himself:

"If I give Zu Zepu's head to Zu Dashou now, Zu Dashou will definitely understand that he has been tricked, and he will be angry with himself, and he will think that he was framed by Zhang Huangyan who colluded with me, and I have to find a way to get out of the city immediately."

"This is a letter sent by my student, saying that the messenger he sent is outside the city, and he wants the official to meet him in person, so please let the general let the official go down first."

As soon as Zhang Shenyan said this, he gave the Qing army officer who was defending the city a silver ticket, and the officer put Zhang Shenyan down.

As soon as Zhang Shenyan left the city, he saw the opportunity and slipped away into the woods.

Zu Dashou was already waiting more and more anxiously, and just after lunch, he also rushed to the city tower: "Is there a messenger from the Ming army?" ”

"Didn't go back to the master, they sent a gift, Zhang Futai saw it and said that it was his student who asked him to go out of the city to pick up the messenger, and the slave was humble and didn't dare to see it, so he also let Zhang Futai out."

As he spoke, the Qing army officer handed the box sent by the guards just now to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou felt that something was wrong, and thought to himself, why did the messenger want Zhang Shenyan to pick it up? But the moment he opened the box, and saw his own son's head inside, he understood it all, and roared angrily:

"Zhang Shenyan, you are good Zhang Shenyan, you dare to play the old man!"

The rest of the Qing army didn't know what happened to Zu Dashou.

At this time, Zu Dashou was already so angry that he vomited three mouthfuls of blood in a row, and he was busy ordering people to immediately gather troops and prepare to withdraw to the front guard of Guangning.

But at this time, Su Zeqi, the general of Zu Dashou, hurriedly ran over: "Master, our people risked death to bring the news, three days ago, Yinchuan Yingbao, Dongguan Station, Xianling Temple Fort, and Xiaotuanshan Fort have all been occupied by the Ming army that suddenly appeared, and our back road has been cut off!" ”

"What, when will the Ming army appear in these places!"

Zu Dashou was shocked again, vomited three mouthfuls of blood in anger, and fainted on the spot.

When Zu Dashou woke up.

The Second Corps of the Second Guards Army and the hired Korean Army had already begun to launch an attack on the center and right of Ningju.

Countless shells overturned towards the center and right of Ningzhou, because Zu Dashou had transferred a large number of officers and soldiers to the city wall, which caused a large number of Qing troops to be killed and wounded for a while.

Then, when the Korean army and the infantry of the Guards army rushed in, there were almost no Qing guards in the entire Ningzhou center-right station.

"Marshal, retreat quickly, the Ming army has already entered!"

At this time, Su Zeqi roared as soon as he saw Zu Dashou wake up.

"What, the Ming army came in so quickly, the old man made a mistake, he made a mistake, he actually believed the words of Zhang Shenyan's bullshit literati, confused, really confused!"

Zu Dashou wanted to cry and shouted without tears.

At this time, the shouts of the guards were already approaching his Chinese tent.
