As a commander-in-chief, when he believes that he cannot lead his army to victory, it is already difficult for this army to achieve victory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that to Shi Dakai's surprise, when Shi Dakai convened his subordinates to discuss the matter of exchanging his own lives with the Qing army to save the lives of the army, he was unanimously resisted and vetoed by all the soldiers.

It is undeniable that after several heavy setbacks, the Taiping army was seriously weakened in number and combat effectiveness. However, in the eyes of the generals, the Taiping army on the expedition had not yet reached the level of annihilation. Although the men and horses of the headquarters have been hit hard, there are still tens of thousands of troops in the hands of Li Fuxuan, who divided the troops, as long as the breakthrough is successful, it will join it in the future, or after breaking through the natural danger of the Dadu River, the Taiping army will inevitably be able to grow rapidly, and it is unknown when the time comes.

It's not just the generals who think so, but when they heard that Shi Dakai was going to sacrifice himself to save the soldiers, the Taiping army, which was already depressed, was in an uproar, saying that they would rather die in battle than sacrifice the Wing King. Some soldiers pointed out that the Qing demon hated the Taiping army to the bone, and surrendering was also a dead end. immediately knelt down and asked for his life, willing to fight to the death with the Qing army.

Seeing the crowd surging, morale is available. Shi Da Kai suddenly recovered from his depression. After discussing with the generals, some generals proposed that the enemy generals Wang Songlin and Yang Yinggang were greedy for money and could be bribed.

With the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Shi Dakai immediately wrote a letter to the two of them, willing to exchange the price of 5,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver for an hour of "negligence" for each of them, so that the Taiping army had a chance to breathe.

Five thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, for these two generals who are too high-ranking generals, it is difficult to collect such a large amount of wealth in their lifetime. And Shi Dakai promised that as long as the other party agreed, he could pay in full.

Receiving Shi Dakai's letter, both of them were thrilled. Over the years, it is not uncommon for Shi Dakai to be an author and repeatedly break out of desperate situations. Even if he is defeated, in fact, at most, he will be blamed by his superiors, or the official will be demoted to a level, and he will be guilty of meritorious service. However, compared to so much real money, a mere official position is nothing.

I don't know if the Taiping army was unlucky enough, or if Wang and Yang were too unlucky. Luo Bingzhang led his troops to supervise the battle, and unexpectedly appeared in their camp, and his subordinates found the Taiping army who came to deliver the letter. When asked about this matter, the two naturally didn't dare to be greedy, took out the letter, and presented it to Luo Bingzhang.

Seeing the letter, Luo Bingzhang's heart moved. The Taiping army is unruly, and now that they are idle, there will inevitably be many losses in encirclement and suppression. If you plan it and design to capture it, you will definitely take this fang without blood.

After pondering the map for a while, Luo Bingzhang said: "Reply to Shi Dakai, it is okay to let him go, but the specific situation needs to be discussed by him in person." Don't make this thief suspicious! Immediately asked the staff to reply to the letter, in order to make Shi Dakai believe that the two had been confused by the heavy money, the reply letter also mentioned 10,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver according to the oral kiss of the two. In addition, the Taiping army had to hand over 500 heads, so that the two of them could have military merits and avoid punishment. In addition, there are many other requirements. An insatiable face.

However, it was precisely because of this that Shi Dakai did not suspect it, and rejected the unreasonable demands of the two in the letter, and finally set the gold at 7,000 taels and silver 120,000 taels. This is already the limit of the money that the Taiping army can come up with.

After setting up a bureau on the letter, Luo Bingzhang saw that Shi Dakai had fallen into the trap set up, so he began to close the net. asked Shi Dakai to show his sincerity and asked Shi Dakai to personally send the money to buy the road to the Ximagu camp for negotiation.

Shi Dakai categorically rejected such a request. But Luo Bingzhang also made a capital and allowed Shi Dakai to come with 2,000 people.

With 2,000 military horses in hand, Shi Dakai dared to go anywhere. nodded and agreed to the other party's request.

A tragic song of history is played here.

……

Li You spied on the sidelines. It's not that he doesn't want to be involved, but the injuries on his body have become more and more uncontrollable at this time, and he may fall asleep at any time. In the past few days, Chi You also went out to inquire about the situation and came back to sue Li You.

Li Youda was surprised by this. In fact, it is recorded in the history books that Shi Dakai failed to cross the Songlin River, and after the old crow whirlpool, he fell into a desperate situation of three armies and one dangerous river, so he wrote a letter to Luo Bingzhang to beg for surrender. He immediately entered the barracks of the Qing army to negotiate peace and dismissed 4,000 people. The remaining 2,000 people were eventually slaughtered by Luo Bingzhang's order. And Shi Dakai was also escorted to Chengdu and died in Lingchi.

But for some reason, the situation of the Taiping Army in the history books has appeared. But at this time, Shi Dakai still did not plan to surrender, and when he went to the Qing army camp, he also privately discussed with Yang Songlin and others about buying roads......

"Something is wrong......" But thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li You's mind: "Could it be made up in the history books?" "It's not unlikely. If the Qing army detains Shi Dakai, the ultimate fate of Shi Dakai and the Taiping army can be imagined. But what is recorded in the history books can be made up. In particular, Luo Bingzhang knows how to write the chapter and how to report the merits in order to get greater benefits.

Li You felt as if he had captured some inspiration. But the body is in a weak state at the moment, and even the thinking has become a little slow. Talking about his guesses and what might happen, Chi You smiled: "Isn't this right, isn't it, let's go and intercept Shi Dakai, push the inventory in our hands to Luo Luo Bingzhang, just do what you say, wouldn't everyone be happy?" ”

"That's right......" Li You also smiled: "I'm afraid that Shi Dakai will not cooperate......"

"That's not up to him!" Chi You smiled coldly: "You and I have exhausted so much effort to save him, if he dares to die, I will definitely slaughter him!" ”

"......" Li You suddenly felt that Chi You, who had become more and more pleasing to the eye recently, had revealed his original hideous face again.

"Let's go...... I don't think I can last long......" Li You said with a wry smile.

…… What Shi Dakai didn't expect at all was that after entering the Qing army camp, Wang Songlin and Yang Yinggang, who greeted him, changed their faces and detained them.

Shi Dakai is superior in force, but if he fights alone, he is not afraid. The Qing army couldn't stop his whereabouts, but Luo Bingzhang made a bloody investment and transferred the foreign gun team under his command to deal with him Shi Dakai. And the Qing army in the ambush camp also showed a hideous face and confronted the Taiping army brought by Shi Dakai. But Wang Songlin and Yang Yinggang did not dare to act rashly. Wait for Luo Bingzhang's instructions.

At this time, Shi Dakai knew that he had fallen into the trap set by the other party from the beginning, and he was anxious to break through, and without noticing, he was actually trapped by such a simple trap. In this situation, Shi Dakai was also calm, but it was a pity that thousands of soldiers had to pay the price of blood for the mistakes they made......

ps: I never believed that Shi Dakai would surrender in the end...... So tear down and rewrite the 8,000 words that have been written, and that's all there is to it today. However, judging from the information seen, there is side evidence that can prove that Shi Dakai was pitted, not surrendered voluntarily......
