Jiang Tai didn't answer him, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, Murong Tu saw that Jiang Tai didn't pay attention to him, and said to Jiang Tai: "Jiang Tai, you also voted for Jiannu?" ”

This sentence made Jiang Tai's dissatisfaction with Murong Tu disappear, yes, what qualifications does he have to look down on Murong Tu, even if Murong Tu surrenders to Dashun, it is a hundred times stronger than his surrender to the Qing army.

"General Murong, the military order is difficult to disobey, we are just acting on orders."

Murong Tu said to him: "Five days later, the Dashun army will come to the city, either open the door or attack the city. ”

After finishing speaking, he led the Dashun army to temporarily withdraw and waited for Ling Jingyang's next instructions.

Ling Jingyang was waiting for the four major families to come back in Wei County, and within five days, the four major families came back one after another, the Wen family and the Qiao family brought nine hundred stones of grain and grass to Shiying, consuming four thousand taels of silver, and the Zhao family also brought two hundred stones of brown rice, using one thousand taels of silver.

Only the Tian family came back empty-handed, and he brought Ling Jingyang the conditions of the Fan family in Datong City, as long as he returned to the Qing Dynasty, attacked the Dashun army of Taiyuan Mansion for the army, gave Ling Jingyang the deputy general, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief, and gave 2,000 stone of grain and grass and 5,000 taels of silver.

Ling Jingyang shook his head, the Fan family gave too little, his soldiers and horses are not the most powerful army in Taiyuan Mansion, but they are also a local snake, Jiang Hao and the Qing army want to go south to attack Taiyuan Mansion, his soldiers and horses are a stone in a pit, and they can respond to the Qing army for many days.

He issued a new order with the head of the Tian family, and then went to connect with the Fan family, saying that he was not called Huazi, and this little thing was not enough to feed the dogs, so let the Fan family and the master talk about it, they needed 50,000 taels of silver, 5,000 stone grain and grass, and appointed him as the general soldier of Ulzhou.

Tian Gufu thought that Ling Jingyang's lion's mouth was wide open, the Qing army was short of soldiers and horses, and would not give so much silver, grain and grass to buy a thousand-strong army, Ling Jingyang didn't care about this, only when the lion's mouth was wide open, the Qing army would think that he really wanted to surrender.

He also asked Tian Gufu to tell the Fan family, it is best to let the Qing army send an envoy to come, he wants to meet with the Qing army envoy for a while, so as to appear sincere, in order to encourage the enthusiasm of the Tian family, Ling Jingyang also specially appointed Tian Gufu as the main book of the stone camp, this main book is a seven-grade civil official, Tian Gufu was excited, he ignored the days of running, and rode a fast horse to contact the Fan family.

Ling Jingyang stared at the Tian family and Guangling County in Wei County, in Guangling County, Murong Tu finally pried open the city gate, after all, more than 1,000 soldiers in Shiying showed off their might under the city, and Murong Tu was familiar with Guangling City, so he led people to cut off the water source, and the water in the city was cut off for two days, and then threw feces into the city.

People can go without eating for many days, but they can never go without drinking water for two days, less than three days, the people can't stand it, many people began to complain about why Wang Mu did not accept the surrender of the Dashun army, Wang Mu and Jiang Tai are also dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, open the city gate, ostensibly to welcome the surrender of the Dashun army, but everyone knows that the surrender of the Dashun army is a nest of birds and doves, whether they will slaughter the city after entering the city, whether they will kill him and Jiang Tai and other militia soldiers, these are uncertain.

In the end, Wang Mu still couldn't withstand the resentment of the army and the people, and was forced to order the city gate to be opened, as soon as the city gate was opened, Li Rufeng asked Wang Hong to rush back to invite the general, Murong Tu and his subordinates swarmed in, quickly occupied the commanding heights and city gates in the city, and completely occupied Guangling City.

Wang Mu and Jiang Tai and other hundreds of militia soldiers waited for the Dashun army to "surrender" on both sides of the city gate, Murong Tu looked like he had surrendered, he held his head high, came to Jiang Tai, and slapped him.

"Jiang Tai, why are you like Lin Erle, keep the pig's tail, and don't you cut it quickly?"

Jiang Tai didn't dare to cut the braids, Wang Mu on the side was ruthless and cut the back of the head braids, and after Murong Tu saw it, he and Wang Mu gave a thumbs up: "Oh, Lord Zhixian, I didn't let you cut the braids, if Lord Man asked, but you cut it yourself." ”

He deliberately said this, just to see if Wang Mu really surrendered to the Qing army, or just compromised, seeing Wang Mu cut off his braids, Murong Tu laughed in his heart, this Wang Mu is a man, but he is not so easy to trust others, he smiled and said to Wang Mu: "My lord, the last general Murong Tu, I want to serve as the garrison of Guangling, and I ask your lord to appoint it." ”

Murong Tu opened his mouth like this, Wang Mu really wanted to leave, but looking at the hundreds of militia groups in the city, and more than a thousand people, he really couldn't bear to abandon it, so he had to give an order to Murong Tu and appoint Murong Tu as the garrison of Guangling City.

"Hehe, Wang Zhixian, in a few days, the main force of our army will arrive in Guangling, but when the time comes, I will ask Lord Wang to go to Datong Mansion to say a few good words, and let my general be the general of Ulzhou, is this good?"

Wang Mu ignored it, and returned to the official mansion in the city with his head down, he came to the study, thinking that he was Da Mingzhi County, and later followed Jiang Huang to surrender to the Dashun Army, and then surrendered to the Daqing Dynasty from the Dashun Army, is there still a bit of wind and bones?

The more he thought about it, the more humiliated he became, so he found a rope and hung it on the beam, ready to die.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, Wang Mu looked at the door, a tall man walked in, came to him with a gloomy face, lifted Wang Mu, and said: "You are dead like this, how can my general use you to lure Jiannu and traitor Jia to send him to death?" ”

Wang Mu couldn't believe it, what was this Dashun army going to do, Li Rufeng put him down, and said to him: "I am the general of the Dashun army, although I am a mortal enemy with Daming, but in front of Jiannu, you and I can put aside our prejudices and work together to resist Jiannu." ”

"Who is your general?"

Li Rufeng said softly in his ear: "My general led all the brothers to break through from Shanhaiguan all the way to Tianchengwei, and fought several bloody battles with the Qing army before he survived to Shanxi. ”

Wang Mu put away his desire to die, sat down and said to Li Rufeng: "You guys hurry up and go to Taiyuan Mansion." ”

At this time, Murong Tu came to the room.

"Oh, Wang Zhixian, why do you want us to go to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Wang Mu gritted his teeth and told the two of them that ten days ago, a team of more than 10,000 Qing troops came from the direction of the capital, and under the leadership of a senior general of the Qing army, they entered Datong City and reached an agreement with Jiang Zongbing on behalf of the Qing court.

In return to the Qing court, Jiang Zongbing led all the soldiers of Datong Mansion to become a part of the Qing army, and ordered the whole army to assemble in Andong Zhongtunwei to prepare for the southward attack on Taiyuan Mansion.

At this moment, another voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"That's why you told us to go to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Wang Mu looked at the door, and a young general walked towards him with a smile on his face, he didn't know this person, but he felt that this person was very energetic.

And Li Rufeng and Murong Tu immediately stood up straight and greeted him with a military salute.
