Da!

Da!

Da!

Five watches.

[Huai'an City], the south gate.

A large number of officials of the prefect's yamen had swords in their hands, and Song Tie, the head catcher, personally led the team to escort the prefect Meng Xuqing to the city gate, and a lieutenant immediately greeted him.

"Meet the prefect."

"Hou Wei!"

"Where is your general, Lu Da?"

Meng Xuqing asked.

"If you go back to your lordship, our general will supervise the battle on the castle tower."

Hou Wei said with a flattering smile.

"Really? You go and call him down, and the officer has something to do with him. ”

Meng Xuqing said.

"No!"

Hou Wei went to pass the word in a hurry.

"For a while, follow the plan we have set. If Lu Da is disobedient, Song Tie, you will kill him directly. ”

Meng Xuqing said and glanced at Song Tie and Dong Guo Chun and the dozen brocade guards brought by Dong Guo Chun.

He said this with great coldness.

Refuse.

Afterwards.

He sat firmly on the sedan chair again.

Just now he came in a sedan chair, he is a civil official, and he can't ride a horse.

"No!"

Song Tie said.

As a confidant of Governor Meng, he naturally listened to Meng Xuqing's words and asked him to kill, and he would kill people, and there was absolutely no second word.

"Yes!"

Dong Guo Chun on the side also bowed his head lightly and replied.

Once Zhang Yuanlong's army enters [Huai'an City], then the overall situation can also be said to be stable.

This battle is related to the situation between the two Huai, and it must not be sloppy, and it must be successful.

Five minutes later.

"I've seen the prefect!"

A general in armor came to Meng Xuqing's palanquin, and this person was none other than Lu Da.

"General Lu Da, hard work."

Meng Xu said with a smile.

"Lord Prefect, these are what we should do, my lord, do you want to get out of the city?"

Luda asked.

"This official has something to discuss with you, this, you let them retreat."

Meng Xuqing said.

"No!"

Lu Da thought that there was some urgent military business, so he waved the soldiers away.

"Stand down, all of you."

When the soldiers saw this, they all retreated thirty meters.

"General Lüda, this officer asks you, who are the people you are loyal to?"

Meng Xuqing asked suddenly.

"This, Lord Prefect, who do you mean I am loyal to? Why can't I understand what you're asking? ”

Lu Da said with a smile.

"Lu Da, you don't have to pretend to be confused with me, so I ask more bluntly, who are you loyal to? Is it the imperial court, or Huang Degong? ”

Meng Xuqing asked.

"Lord Prefect, I, of course I am loyal to the imperial court, is there a problem with this?"

Lu Da chuckled inexplicably in his heart, and then hurriedly said.

He hadn't noticed it before, but just now, he found one thing, that is, these people around Meng Xuqing were staring at him deadly, and they were still carrying swords, obviously preparing to clean up his rhythm.

Why? What's going on? Meng Xuqing: What is this going to do? Is he trying to seize power? It was impossible for Lord Huang to let him go.

He's digging his own grave.

"General Lu Da, this official is not afraid to tell you that the imperial court has already made a will, Huang Degong has formed a party for personal gain, corrupted and bent the law, and has ordered Lord Qincha to take it down, and all the party members must not be let go, and all of them must be severely punished in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"This official knows that you are also Huang Degong's henchman, and you have always done things for him, and you are embarrassed by it, but I also know that you are still concerned about the imperial court, and what you do is also coerced."

"Right?"

"Today, this official is going to welcome Lord Qincha's soldiers and horses into the city, as long as you can help me, I can protect you, and when the time comes, you can not only wear the guilt and make meritorious service, but also be promoted and make a fortune."

"Are you willing to enter the city with the soldiers and horses of Lord Yingqincha?"

Meng Xuqing asked.

Song Tie and the others on the side also stared at Lu Da, as long as he dared to refuse, he would immediately hack Lu Da to death.

"What? Welcome the soldiers and horses of Lord Qin into the city? Lord Prefect, this, I ......"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Da's face immediately turned pale.

An extremely ominous premonition arose from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that the day of [Huai'an City] was about to change.

Of course, he knew that the [Lianghuai Battalion] was now under the control of Lord Qincha and the British prince sent by the imperial court, and he also knew that this prince had also cut down the blessed king Zhu Jing, who had caused trouble and done a lot of evil, a few days ago.

This is nothing, he also heard that hundreds of military attaches who are related to Fu Wang Zhu Jing and Lord Huang Degong in the [Lianghuai Battalion] have also been beheaded, and for this reason, he has not eaten well and slept well in the past two days.

Because he is also a member of the Huang Degong faction.

If this Lord Qincha entered [Huai'an City] that day and Qiu Feng settled the score, would he also be beheaded.

"General Lu Da, this official is giving you a chance to live."

"I hope you can cherish this opportunity."

"You have to know that you are a general of the imperial court, not Huang Degong alone."

"Got it?"

"Huang Degong violated the law of my Ming court, and the person he offended was the current monarch, this time he couldn't get out of the whole body and die."

"As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, you must think about how you stand in line? Don't do anything foolish. ”

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, don't you?"

Meng Xuqing said.

"This ......."

"Lord Prefect, I, is it too late to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Is it true that the imperial court will not hold me accountable for my previous crimes? ”

"You also know that I was coerced by Huang Degong and did a lot of bad things before."

"I'm afraid ......"

Luda was tempted.

In this world, no one wants to die, isn't it good to live well? Isn't it fragrant to cuddle with a beautiful?

Although he is only a five-grade general, he has a lot of wives and concubines in the family, 12 rooms, and an outer room outside, in addition, he has several subordinates and the wives of rich people in the city have a leg, he is reluctant to die, and he has not enjoyed enough of this happy life.

"Of course it's true, this official vouches for you, and if you can cooperate with us to open the city gate and welcome the imperial army's army into the city, this is a great achievement, not only will the imperial court not hold you responsible, maybe you will be promoted and rich because of your merits."

"Lu Da, this opportunity is rare, this official advises you to seize it, otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."

"Understand?"

Meng Xuqing on the side sat on the sedan chair, and pulled Lu Da to them step by step.

"Lord Prefect, I, I listen to you, I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly, I hope that when the time comes, my lord can say a few good words to the court for me."

In the end, Lu Da expressed his willingness to cooperate.

He also has no way, if he dares to disagree, Song Tie and these people will immediately hack him to death.

In addition, he also knew that Huang Degong was finished, and now that the imperial court was in control of the [Lianghuai Battalion], how could Huang Degong fight.

If he continues to follow Huang Degong, then he may be greeted by a dead end, so he naturally has to choose another way to live.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

"Good!"

"General Lu Da is worthy of being a pillar of the imperial court, I Meng admire him very much, don't worry, I will show you credit to the imperial court in the future."

"It's just that now, I still bother you to ask people to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city."

Meng Xuqing said.

He struck while the iron was hot, and only by introducing the army from outside into the city could this operation be considered stable.

"No!"

Luda said.

"Brother Xian, please take someone to follow General Lu Da, remember, you must protect his safety, and you must not let him be in danger."

Meng Xuqing looked at Dong Guochun and gave a special instruct.

He asked Dongguo Chun to spy on Lu Da, and once Lu Da was disobedient and had any abnormal movements, he would cut him down.

"No!"

"I will definitely protect General Lu."

Dong Guo Chun bowed his head and said.
