Chapter 178 Is Persuading Surrender Possible?

On October 60th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, not long after the end of the Jiujiang War, Fu Erdan organized his army under the city of Wuchang, kicking off the prelude to the Wuchang offensive and defensive battle, but what he did not expect was that this was the first time that the Qing army attacked at close range. It is also the last time to go to the city of Wuchang.

Thousands of Qing troops set up a camp in Wuli outside Wuchang City. Since they came from afar, they did not carry relevant siege weapons at all, so they could only arrange some people to go around to prepare the siege carts and ladders. It's just that there is no better preparation in a hurry, but it makes people a little anxious.

Fu Erdan stared at the Wuchang city in the distance with a binoculars, but his heart turned cold. Wuchang, which he thought was empty at first, was bustling with defenders on the top of the city. There are flintlock guns in his hands, and more than a dozen cannons are placed on the top of the city.

Looking at it like this, it seemed that there was no one in the city, which made Fu Erdan a little headache, so he sent someone to invite Huang Rusong over, wanting to find out what happened.

After a while, Huang Rusong ran over sweating profusely. At first, he thought that Fu Erdan had something to offer him, but he didn't expect to see the current situation of Wuchang City as soon as he came, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

"What's the situation? A few days ago, I sent someone to Wuchang City to confirm that Chu Ni's army was indeed transferred away! Even the city defense battalion and the palace guard battalion were also taken away a few days ago. Did the Ning thief take it to Xianning?"

"You ask me, how do I know that in the battle in Xianning County, Chu Ni was basically killed by me, and the number of Chu Ni who escaped in the end was only 500 people, so how can there be so many people now? "

Fu Erdan's face was a little livid, he even suspected that Huang Rusong was fooling himself, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the people in the city are pretending to be?"

"Yes, the general is wise. Chu Ni must have seen my army come here, and temporarily arrested some people to make up for it." Huang Rusong's face was covered with cold sweat. Now he really regrets following the tradition of Fu Erdan, but there is nothing he can do about it. Can choose a road to the dark.

Fu Erdan wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, he heard the defenders in Wuchang City shouting in unison, but they were far away, but they couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Send someone over there and listen carefully to what those Chu Ni dogs are talking about!"

"Whoo!"

A guard rode a horse and galloped forward. It took about a while before he turned around, got off his horse and knelt in front of Fu Erdan, hesitating a bit.

"My lord, Chu Ni's words are filthy and ugly, and I dare not repeat them for fear of polluting my lord's ears."

"Speak! I want to hear, how did Chu Ni arrange it for me?"

"Chu Ni said: Fu Erdan, listen carefully. If you want to find death, just come. You have become a turtle in the urn. There was Wuchang's Erlang army in the past, and Jiujiang's Han people in the future. Don't learn from Yongjina. You lost your army and died. "

"The traitor! The traitor!" Before Fu Erdan could finish listening, he felt the qi and blood rushing straight to his forehead. Ning Zhongyuan's head.

Seeing that Fu Erdan was furious, the guard quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his forehead turned blue instantly.

"Don't get angry, my lord. This is exactly Chu Ni's strategy to punish his heart. If you lose your mind because of this, it will be easier to fall into the trap set by Chu Ni!"

Huang Rusong also said repeatedly: "My lord, I think that this is just a manifestation of Chu Ni's guilty conscience, and he just hopes to use this method to anger the lord, and then..." At this point, he hesitated a bit, sweating all over his forehead .

"Hmph! Then wait for me to die? Huang Rusong, is that what you want to say?" Fu Erdan calmed down at this time, his face was not cloudy or cold, and he said slowly while examining the earthy-faced Huang Rusong.

Huang Rusong was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain has no such intentions! It's really because this Chu Ni is too cunning, and it's hard to tell the truth from the truth. The villain is also considering the adults! Please learn from me!"

"It's hard to tell the truth from the truth. Since it's hard to distinguish the truth from the truth, how about sending someone to find out the truth? What do you think? Huang Rusong."

Fu Erdan narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Rusong who was kneeling on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, the villain is stupid, and it's hard to be a big responsibility." Huang Rusong begged for mercy, while peeking at Fu Erdan's expression, he was shocked for a moment - he immediately understood Fu Erdan's intention, which was to let him go to the city to test Fu Han Army's response.

Thinking of this, Huang Rusong suddenly collapsed on the ground. He never imagined that this Fu Erdan would be so vicious. If Huang Rusong hadn't launched a surprise attack from the city at a critical moment and took down Xianning, Fu Erdan would never have been able to defeat the city of Wuchang. , but now it's a good thing, Fu Erdan sold himself backhandedly, how can Huang Rusong not be disappointed by this?
It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that their family is already in Fu Erdan's hands. If they really angered this living Hades, they might have to go down to the underworld to have a happy family.

"My lord, if you understand, you should go to Wuchang City, persuade the Ning bandits to surrender, and bribe and woo the various ministries of Chu Ni, so as to divide the people. If it fails, you can also take this opportunity to find out the truth, so that you can make a decision."

Fu Erdan nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, Huang Rusong, you really understand this truth. No matter whether you succeed in trying to persuade Wuchang to surrender, once you come out of the city, it will be a great achievement."

Huang Rusong took a deep breath, summoned up his courage and said, "My lord, I still want to ask my lord for one thing. If I can't come back from this trip, all my property and land will be handed over to my lord. The whole family, young and old, hope that the adults will enjoy the food."

Huang Rusong thought very clearly that if he couldn't come back, it would be impossible for his family to keep the family business. Even if Fu Erdan wasn't interested in those money and land, it couldn't guarantee that the people under him weren't interested. After all, the ruin of the family is only in sight, it is better to hand over all the family property to Fu Erdan, maybe there will be a way out.

"Well, don't worry, even if this trip doesn't go well, I think Chu Ni would not dare to kill you rashly. After all, my army is just outside the city, and they have to think about it more or less." Fu Erdan laughed, and he found that Huang Rusong was indeed He is a wonderful person, with a quick mind, so he somewhat cherishes his talents.

Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Huang Rusong took a deep breath, looked into the distance with a complicated face, and then, holding a flag representing the envoy, walked towards Wuchang City without looking back, and was hoisted into the city by a hanging basket. out of town.

Fu Erdan never imagined that the Fuhan army would really surrender, so after Huang Rusong entered the city, he looked eagerly at the wall of Wuchang City to see if there would be any movement.

It’s just that there was no response from those who waited and waited. After about a moment, a soldier of the Fuhan Army hung a human head on the city wall. The head is Huang Rusong.

"Siege! Siege for me!"

　I have been on my way back to my hometown for the past two days, so there is only one watch. Now I am home safely. Starting tomorrow, I will resume three watch every day.
