In order to integrate the troops and horses of Xiao Yuan's battalion as soon as possible, Li Xingzhi also wanted to avoid wasting time and energy in Puyang, so he had to make a compromise and give them the treatment of a new town.

Of course, Li Xingzhi is ready to continue this model, because he is familiar with the historical process and knows that after the Jiashen Change, it is these heroic and unyielding rebel armies that can persist in resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in Li Xingzhi's view, even if Li Zicheng is willing to accept the adaptation, he is willing to accept it, because he has no time to spend on endless infighting, buying horse bones, and promising Yuan Shizhong a town is to hope that other peasant army leaders can peacefully accept the reorganization of the Jingbei Army.

Scattering the rebel armies in various places and relocating them separately was also an unshakable military order issued by the Prime Minister's Office to the towns, which was also to ensure that these unruly peasant army leaders were completely returned.

The conditions have been laid out, and they have been reorganized, ensuring the safety of all personnel, and not holding them accountable for their past crimes, which is quite generous for most people.

Therefore, most of the leaders of the small Yuan camp had a relaxed look on their faces, and at this moment, everyone looked at Yuan Shizhong who was muttering to himself, waiting for their leader to make a final decision.

Chen Maocai, the magistrate of Kaecheng County, appointed by the peasant army, was next to Yuan Shizhong at the moment, because he was the closest, so he saw it most clearly, and he found that Yuan Shizhong would be very hesitant, and his face was cloudy.

Yuan Shizhong really couldn't make up his mind, what he had been thinking about before was how to survive in the gap between the Shun army and the Shandong army, and wait until the victory or defeat of the official army and the Shun army was decided before appeasement, and he just replaced the banner of the small Yuan camp on the head of the city with the banner of the victor, and other than that, nothing changed.

In this way, even if the Ming Shun family fights back in the future, he can surrender again, and now Li Xing is determined to reorganize the whole army, then he will lose the opportunity to bet at both ends, in case the Shun army wins the victory of Heluo, is there a way to live in this world?

"How can I believe that Li Xingzhi will not break his promise? What if our army surrenders and he treats us as rebels? ”

After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Shizhong finally looked up at Liu Yuqi.

"We don't have a choice, we can only choose to believe." Liu Yuchi's face was bitter, and he also knew that once the city was opened, his life would be in the palm of someone else's hand.

"This matter is too big, it is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in our Xiao Yuan camp, can Li Xingzhi let me think about it for a few days." Yuan Shizhong couldn't make up his mind, and decided to delay it, if the official army could give him a few days, maybe the war in Zhuxian Town would be tight, and there would be a turning point in the matter of appeasement.

Liu Yuqi sighed: "Yes, but they only gave us one day, beyond the time limit, even if there is only half a pillar of incense, the Shandong army will regard us as having no sincerity to surrender, and once the city is broken, as Li Xingzhi said, all of us and our families will die." ”

In this world, although the little people can't affect the overall situation, the little people and the big people think about the problem from different angles.

Yuan Shizhong, Zhu Chengju and others were the big leaders of the small Yuan camp, and they hesitated whether they would be deprived of their military rights by Li Xingzhi if they surrendered, but the small leaders under him thought more about why the big boss didn't order the opening of the city, did they really want them to live and die together with Jiaxiao and Kaicheng.

The senior generals have a heavy army and have a say in this matter, so they are arguing for their own interests.

The little leaders are very sharp, they don't have many soldiers in their hands, the most is only a hundred and ten, and they can't let the officials and soldiers outside the city look at them alone, but when these little people come together, they have the ability to change the situation.

"Wang Tou, do you think we will be the opponents of the official army?"

In the east city of Kaicheng, a new leader of Xiao Yuan's camp, Niu San, looked at Wang Er Mazi, the management team in charge of city defense.

"Fart, I think Leader Yuan is cowardly, otherwise how would he let Leader Liu go out of the city to contact the officials and soldiers? Do you know? I heard that the Shandong barbarians can fight, whether the Dongyu is strong or not, and even the grass chicken is not as good as the grass chicken in front of the Shandong barbarians, the puppet Qing Emperor Huangtaiji has been hung on the flagpole, Shanhaiguan is not high, Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of troops, Li Xingzhi brought tens of thousands of people, Wu Sangui who was beaten for more than ten days, ran to the Dongyu side as a slave, and now Li Xingzhi, the commander of the Shandong barbarians, has arrived, let's fight with them, isn't it looking for death. ”

Gu: "According to the king's will, we have to surrender, but he is an official, we are thieves, can he tolerate us?" ”

"How can you not tolerate it? I heard that many of the generals in the prime minister's army are the leaders of the original camp, that is, Zhang Xianzhong's sons are in high positions, and Zhang Kewang is now an old man in the imperial court. ”

Wang Er Mazi was originally born in the peasant army under Gao Yingxiang, Chongzhen nine years, Gao Yingxiang went south to Huaiyang, repeatedly defeated by the official army, he was no longer optimistic about Gao Yingxiang, so he fled to Puyang with the stolen money and grain.

It's just that the Central Plains has been in a drought, and the war disasters have been going on for many years, and the little silver that has been robbed can't last much at all, just in time for Yuan Shizhong's trouble, Wang Er Mazi simply joined the rebel army again, relying on the previous experience of fighting in the peasant army, and soon mixed a management team in the small Yuan camp, and now Li Xingzhi, a big thief who steals the country, is in the city, and he has the idea of surrendering again.

"What Wang Tou said is that the law does not blame the public, Li Xingzhi wants to deal with it, and he will only deal with the first evil, Li Zicheng killed Luo Rucai, and he didn't attack those soldiers under him, if you want me to say, let's just vote for the official army, it's better than following Yuan to lead them to be afraid, I heard that Prime Minister Li Cheng has an order that as long as we accept the adaptation, we will not blame the past."

Zhang Liang, another team guarding the east gate, also echoed the voice, Xiao Yuanying's incident has only been more than half a year, and everyone got together, but they just wanted to eat a bite, and the cohesion was not strong, and now since Prime Minister Li Cheng can give himself a way to live, it is better to take refuge in the powerful official army.

"Is it okay to just accept the adaptation? You listen to what you said," the little leader asked Zhang Liang with a face full of surprise.

"That's what the brother who came back with Leader Liu said."

Zhang Liang said the news he had found out 1510, Wang Ermazi and others were excited after hearing it, for these middle and low-level leaders, it is not a problem to adapt to join the official army or something, everyone originally wanted to eat in one bite, and didn't they still want to eat in one bite when they surrendered to the court?

In these days, as long as there is food to eat, it is not a sale to work for someone. Now the situation is obvious, Kaecheng will not last long at all, the official army is really going to attack the city fiercely, hundreds of Hongyi cannons bombard at the same time, this city can be broken in a day or two, by then, let alone adaptation, to save your life is God's eyes, Guanyin Bodhisattva blessed.

Therefore, Wang Ermazi and others accepted the surrender conditions offered by the officials and soldiers in their hearts, and the problem now is whether to open the city or not, and it is not up to them to decide whether to surrender or not.

"Leader Yuan is also kind to us, isn't it okay to surrender like this?"

The little leader who was the first to ask the question rubbed his hands excitedly, and although he was a little embarrassed, the expression on his face had betrayed him.

"What are you afraid of, Leader Yuan has sent someone to contact Prime Minister Li Cheng, maybe they are negotiating how to lose their sincerity to the imperial court, let's open the city, it's just to strengthen their hearts, besides, aren't we doing this for their safety?"

Zhang Liang looked up at the direction of the county office, and now the leading figures in the army have gone to the county government damn on the face, and this time is the best time for him and others to get into trouble.

"Well, you take someone to tie up Zhu Shouyi, who is in charge of patrolling the city, to Lao Tzu, he is the nephew of Leader Zhu, let's take him and ask Prime Minister Li Cheng for credit."

The snake can't be without a head, Wang Er Mazi looked left and right, this is the oldest qualification in Xiao Yuanying, so he took the responsibility of the leader without giving up.
