Li Zicheng is full of confidence:

"Good! Then it is decided, and the night after tomorrow, you will send a signal with fireworks in the city, and then open the city gates, and I will lead the army to rush in, and I will kill Azig with my own hands! ”

Niu Jinxing looked very excited, "When Azig is killed, our army will move north, annihilate the enemy attacking from the south, and recover Shanxi is just around the corner!" ”

"Hahaha......" Li Zicheng laughed, immediately dispersed the military discussion, asked people to prepare dishes, and wished Liu Zongmin success.

After eating, Li Zicheng pulled out and hurriedly went west.

After a short while, Niu Jinxing patted the horse's back with his hand, urged the horse to walk a few steps quickly, followed Li Zicheng, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly has some doubts. ”

Li Zicheng knew that he had a recent feud with Liu Zongmin, and asked, "But what about Liu Zongmin?" ”

"Exactly!" Niu Jinxing replied, "Lord Ruhou is wise, has led troops for many years, has rich experience, and has a lot of achievements, but his heart is straighter. The minister was worried that he was stupid, and he couldn't deceive Jianyu, and ruined His Majesty's strategy. It's better to send me back, surrender together, and take care of each other. ”

Li Zicheng heard that he was not slandering Liu Zongmin, so he put his mind at ease and said slowly: "It is true that Ruhou is straightforward and fast-talking, but he is definitely not a heartless person. You don't have to worry, and you don't need to go back. There are more people who surrender, but it is not good. ”

"Then we should also make some preparations, such as sending a team of soldiers alone to stay near Tongguan, in case there is a change, we can also take over the Hou Ye." Bull Venus Road.

"It's best if you think so." Li Zicheng was pleased.

Niu Jinxing said again: "In addition, our army should also go back to Xi'an to do everything, in case Tongguan is defeated, don't be trapped in Guanzhong." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes.

"The minister is just taking precautions and making multi-step plans. In case this plan fails, prepare a way out in advance! Niu Jinxing's face was calm.

"It's fine. You go ahead and arrange it. Faintly, Li Zicheng felt that something was wrong, and he didn't figure out what it was.

Niu Jinxing got the order, quickly galloped out of the Chinese army, left the 3,000 men and horses in the rear team, and ordered them to go to the mountain col on the south side of Tongguan to ambush, waiting for the opportunity to respond to Liu Zongmin.

On the second day, Azig received the news of the victory of Kong Youde and Ah Shan, and came to Tongguan with confidence to shout and order the defenders to surrender.

Originally, he just said it casually, he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't want Tongguan to really open the city gate.

"What? Do you want to learn from Zhuge Kongming to sing the empty city plan? Are the Han people so naïve now? Azig wondered.

When the words fell, I saw a man riding out of the city, stopping less than 200 steps forward, and thousands of soldiers poured out behind him, lined up on both sides of the city gate.

"Want a field battle?" Azig was even more puzzled.

A person behind Liu Zongmin took out the white flag from his arms, held it high, and slowly stepped forward with Liu Zongmin.

"Isn't it, it's a surrender?" Azig was taken aback, this is too child's play, Lao Tzu's steel knife is shiny, and he is about to be stained with some blood, you or something, just drop?

Liu Zongmin's face was gloomy, and he rode his horse to a stop 100 meters in front of the Jianyu position. The pawn behind him galloped forward, dismounted, knelt down and held the book high above his head.

Sou......

A sharp arrow shot straight away, right between the pawn's eyebrows, and pierced deep into the skull.

Immediately, a Jianyu general rode over, picked up the blood-stained surrender letter, stepped on the back of the soldier's head, and read it out loud.

"I, Emperor Dashun, was afraid of the might of the Qing Dynasty and retreated to Xi'an, leaving us and other remnants to defend here...... May I return to the Qing Dynasty and be loyal......"

The piercing words fluttered in front of Tongguan, and Liu Zongmin's face was hideous, and he almost led his troops to rush up for a decisive battle. Fortunately, he put the overall situation first, endured the humiliation of Jianyu, and knelt down in tears.

When Azig saw this, he still didn't believe it, and sent someone to check it out.

Soon, five captives came on horseback, circled around Liu Zongmin, and the horse's hooves kicked up dust and drowned him.

The captives laughed when they saw it, galloped west, didn't even look at the Shun army, and rushed directly into Tongguan City.

A quarter of an hour later, the five of them rushed out of Tongguan City, ran to Liu Zongmin's side, deliberately rubbed him down with their feet, and walked away in unbridled laughter.

When Azig heard the report, he immediately ordered his army to march westward.

Before entering the customs, he saw that the Shunjun weapons were confiscated, Liu Zongmin was tied, and he was dragged into Tongguan with a rope.

In the city, Liu Zongmin shouted: "Lord Wang, since our army has surrendered, why do you tie me up?" ”

Azig looked at him and said in his heart, Jiang Jian and Bai Guangen just defected a few days ago, who do I not tie you up? Can't I reuse you?

He waved his horsewhip back and forth in front of Liu Zongmin, and said, "Since you surrendered, you are naturally my slave." Master, I, if I want to tie you up, I will tie you up, and if I want to beat you, I will beat you, why don't I surrender? ”

Liu Zongmin was shocked, "I miscalculated, Jianyu didn't play cards according to common sense, he didn't treat him well when he surrendered, and he played with him as a slave, which is far worse than Mingting." How is it good now? ”

He froze and said, "Even if you are a slave, you should be driven to kill the enemy in front, how can you be treated like a prisoner." ”

"You started as a thief, what kind of combat power can you have? What enemies to kill? From now on, be a groom for this king. Azig was humiliated.

Liu Zongmin was very sad in his heart, "It's over, it's over, the Han people and the Tartars are not the same idea at all!" ”

After enough teasing, Liu Zongmin was imprisoned, and the soldiers were scattered and placed under strict supervision.

In the evening, a captive soldier rushed towards Azig's location, "Lord, in the mountains on the south side of Tongguan, there is a large area of cooking smoke wafting out!" ”

Azig listened, put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Hmph, I know that this surrender is quite strange." Gather all the people and kill them. ”

"Huh!"

Half an hour later, 6,000 people and horses were captured, looking for cooking smoke and breaking into the mountains and forests on the south side of Tongguan.

Shun Bing, who was having dinner, saw the large group of captives, and immediately panicked and fled in all directions. As soon as the general Dashun who led the team stepped onto the war horse, his head was cut off.

Under the chaos, it almost became a one-sided massacre of Jianyu, and the battle was over before it was dark.

Looking at the group of captives who were tied up with flowers, Azig stroked his beard and shouted: "Torture, ask them about their plans!" ”

The screams suddenly spread throughout the mountains and forests.

Seeing the inhuman appearance of his comrades being tortured, a soldier knelt down and begged for mercy first, telling him part of the situation he knew.

Azig listened, with a smile on his face, and led the men back to the city to set up.

Liu Zongmin sat paralyzed in prison, thinking back to Niu Jinxing's words and deeds, and felt that he had been cheated by his design.

What kind of pretending to surrender, attacking inside and outside, saying it easily, how can I believe it in my own mind!

When he was remorseful, he heard the door of the cell opened, and when he looked up, he saw a man walking slowly, and it was Azig.

Azig squatted down 2 meters away and said to Liu Zongmin: "The plan is good, but I didn't expect me to put you in prison first, right?" ”

Liu Zongmin was shocked and tried to control his expression, "I don't know what the prince is talking about." ”

Azig smiled and said, "According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, you should call yourself a minion. ”

Liu Zongmin was furious in his heart, but his face did not change, and he said flatteringly: "The slave knocks on the prince!" ”

"Hahaha, you're a good minion, but it's a pity that you can't set off fireworks tonight." Azig laughed.

Liu Zongmin heard the dark, hateful Tartar in front of him, actually playing with me, he made an "ah" sound, got up and pounced on Azig.

Azig was still squatting, and the soldiers behind him raised their knives and swung them, and with just one knife, they cut Liu Zongmin's neck.

Liu Zongmin suffered from the blood gushing out of his neck, and slowly closed his eyes, "Lao Tzu, I was pitted by Niu Venus......
