King Lu couldn't understand why Ma Shiying suddenly gave up the Great Seal of the Pavilion.

You know, Ma Shiying is an official fan.

However, what King Lu didn't know was that Ma Shiying had already transferred his family to the ship and was about to run away to Fuzhou.

As long as there is another emperor there, he will also be the first minister.

Ma Shiying also believed that King Lu was unreliable, and as soon as the Liaodong Army arrived, he would surrender immediately.

The Liaodong Army may let go of King Lu, but it will definitely not let him go.

So, just run away.

It's just that the brain is good, and it's not as good as others who have soldiers.

As soon as they escaped from a section of water, a group of soldiers suddenly came and surrounded the family's boat.

Ma Shiying knew that it was a Sichuan soldier when he heard the accent, and hurriedly took out the style of the cabinet:

"You are so bold that you dare to stop even the ships of the Cabinet. Where is your coach Fang Guoan? Tell him to come out, and let him see the soldiers he has brought with him."

"You old ba, what kind of cabinet are you pretending to be in front of Lao Tzu, who doesn't know that your old bazi is running away in advance." A Sichuan soldier general mocked.

His words provoked the laughter of a group of Sichuan soldiers around him.

Ma Shiying, who was exposed, was a little embarrassed: "You left your post without permission, and you dare to mock the head of the court here, and eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall."

"Who is this frightening?" The general shouted, "You cowardice who runs faster than a rabbit is also worthy of teaching Lao Tzu a lesson, you Ge Lao Tzu get down."

"What are you going to do?"

"What? Brothers, take him to Master Fang."

With a wave of the general's hand, the Sichuan soldiers swarmed up, directly dragged Ma Shiying off the boat, soaked in the icy water, and then was dragged by the Sichuan soldiers to their boat and rowed away.

Ma Shiying's family and subordinates all watched dryly, and they didn't dare to come out.

Because he was running away, he didn't bring a few people, and if he really wanted to do it, he would be killed and fed to the fish.

Ma Shiying, who was covered in water, was pushed and shoved by the Sichuan soldiers and pushed in front of Fang Guoan.

Fang Guoan sneered, "Yo, this is not the famous Ma Ge Lao, why are you so embarrassed today?"

"You dare to ask, it's all your soldiers!" Ma Shiying said, turning back to the Sichuan soldiers who pushed him.

The Sichuan soldier snorted coldly and drew his sword out of its sheath.

Ma Shiying immediately coaxed.

Fang Guoan said with a smile: "These brothers of mine have a bad temper, if they hurt Ma Ge Lao, wouldn't King Lu want to punish me."

Hearing him mention King Lu, Ma Shiying secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, this guy was not good.

Ma Shiying's first thought was to arrest him and dedicate it to the Liaodong Army.

"What do you want?" He asked tremblingly.

"Not good. I'm a big old man, and I've been on the run since I followed Yang Gebu, and this has made me realize a truth."

"What...... Reason?"

"That is, there must be a civilian officer in the army, and there must be a civilian official to talk to the governors."

"Huh?" Ma Shiying was a little confused, listening to Fang Guoan's tone, it didn't seem like he was planning to tie him up and hand him over to the Liaodong Army.

Fang Guoan simply clicked through: "I'm bothering you to stay in our army for a few days, and write letters to the governors of various places for me, urging me to ask for grain and grass."

"What do you want food and grass for?" Ma Shiying felt that this question was stupid, but it was necessary to ask it clearly.

He was even more blindsided, and he didn't understand what Fang Guoan was going to do.

Fang Guoan couldn't cry or laugh: "Of course it's to fight against the Liaodong Army, what else can you do."

"Ahh Ma Shiying's voice was louder.

"I have received the emperor's favor in my life, and I should serve the court. The enemy is tired from continuous fighting, and I will hold on to Hangzhou, relying on seaborne supplies, and may be able to repel the Liaodong Army."

Fang Guoan is saying this very seriously.

He and his Sichuan soldiers have always been line-fillers before, and they are not conspicuous enough.

As the war situation deteriorated, the Sichuan soldiers actually became the only army with a certain degree of combat effectiveness and organization.

The responsibility came, and Fang Guoan was also determined to shoulder it.

He first kidnapped Ma Shiying back to Hangzhou and forced Ma Shiying

Allocate money and food to him, and then mobilize the army to Yongjinmen to defend against the Liaodong army.

Zu Zeyuan stood on the dirt mountain, looked at the soldiers defending the city with a telescope, and turned his head to ask the former general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered:

"Which unit is this?"

"General Hui, it's the Sichuan soldiers of the Fang State Security Department."

"It's him." Zu Zeyuan nodded, "You lead people to attack tentatively under the banner of our army, let me try the strength of the Sichuan soldiers."

"Yes." The general soldiers ran down, shouting at the soldiers scattered in the camp in twos and threes, and attacked Yongjinmen.

Looking at the sparse back, Bolo was puzzled, "General Zu, why did you send this group of people into battle? It's a pure waste of time."

"Your Highness has taught us to despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically. It is also said in the art of war that he who mourns the soldier wins."

Zu Zeyuan replied, "Let's use the Ming army to test the strength of the other party, and strive to take Hangzhou at the lowest cost and as quickly as possible."

"Governor Shang and General Li have already taken Guangzhou, and Fuzhou is also under control, and when Hangzhou is taken, it means that the world is decided."

Bolo said with a smile.

"It depends on the situation in Sichuan, if General Kong successfully pacifies Sichuan, the remnants of the Ming court will be pressed on the line of Yunnan-Guichuan, and there is nothing they can do."

Both of them laughed as they spoke.

was smiling, listening to the report of the signal soldiers, King Lu in Hangzhou sent people to bring wine and meat to reward the Liaodong army.

Zu Zeyuan and Bo Luo were stunned for a moment, but Zu Zeyuan reacted quickly: "Invite them to the camp."

No matter what the other party's intentions are, the result of taking the initiative to make friends will inevitably lead to the disheartening of the army in the city.

Therefore, Zu Zeyuan not only wants to meet, but also to be very grand.

Zu Zeyuan and Bo Luo personally greeted them in front of the camp gate, and led the envoy of King Lu to the tent.

After receiving King Lu's gift list, Zu Zeyuan said: "There is a saying, please bring the messenger back, King Fu has been living well in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, as long as King Lu hands over the land like King Fu, he can spend the rest of his life in peace."

"King Lu has long intended to surrender, but the military officials under him are unwilling, they are all afraid of His Highness's sword."

Among those who were afraid, including the messenger.

Zu Zeyuan laughed: "Your Highness only kills the first evil, and does not blame others. As long as you follow the decree and abolish the slaves in the house, you can go to Nanking to participate in the assessment and then be granted a substantive position."

"That's ......."

"Go back and tell King Lu that it is a good thing to be alive, and there is no need to kill yourself. Wouldn't it be difficult for the King of Fortune to be a rich man."

"The prince understands this truth, but he is afraid of ......."

"His Royal Highness is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how could he go back on his word and cause the entire Jiangnan to fall into war again."

"Makes sense, makes sense!"

The messenger stood up, and Zu Zeyuan also got up to see him off.

He had just walked on the front foot, and the general soldier came back on the back foot, looking embarrassed.

"Defeated?" Zu Zeyuan asked.

The chief soldier nodded.

"It just so happens that there is wine and meat rewarded by King Lu, as well as silver and two pieces of cloth. You've fought hard, so take it and divide it."

"What...... Why?" The general soldier was stunned.

Fang Guoan, who was betrayed by King Lu, led his troops to evacuate Hangzhou in anger, and then was blocked by Zu Zeyuan, attacked in one fell swoop, and Fang Guoan died in battle.

Ma Shiying hanged himself in the camp.

On the same day, King Lu naturally opened the door of Hangzhou to welcome the Liaodong army into the city.
