Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 748 How can one maintain justice without being loyal?

"General, I have an old relationship with Di Sanpin, the guard general of Jianchang in the Qing Dynasty, and I would like to go to Jianchang to persuade Di Sanpin to submit to David." In Pingshan County (Nixi Division), Mahu Prefecture, an old man took the initiative to ask General Xiri of the Southern Expedition Don't ask for orders.

This old man was Fan Kuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was granted the title of Sun Kewang. In another time and space, after Sun Kewang's conspiracy failed and he was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was imprisoned and interrogated as a comrade. He died in sorrow and fright. In this time and space, because the Wei army was involved in Sichuan, he was sent by Sun Kewang to supervise the division in Sichuan. He escaped and later He was persuaded by Ren Zun and Fang Yuxuan to surrender to the Wei Dynasty and became the chief envoy of Guizhou. Seeing that Fang Yuxuan had made great achievements in persuading Zhu Yangen and Long Haiyang to surrender, he was envious in his heart. He also wanted to make great achievements and gain a foothold in David. He remembered that he had an old relationship with Di Sanpin, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

"Okay! If you can persuade Di Sanpin to surrender to the guard, I will appoint Shu Dahan to ask for your favor!" Xi Rimo was overjoyed. In these days, he repeatedly succeeded in recruiting and recruiting rebels. Jiading Prefecture, Mahu Prefecture, and Xu Prefecture all surrendered without a fight, and he was able to surrender 15,000 troops. After getting the advantage, he couldn't stop. He didn't want to fight, he just wanted to surrender. Also, if everything in Sichuan can be decided through recruitment and surrender, why bother with war?

With permission, the old man went happily.

After he left, Xi Rimo discussed military aircraft with everyone again. The original plan was to capture Jiading and Xuzhou, then continue to capture Luzhou, Yongningwei, and Bozhou, and then enter Guizhou, western Guangxi, and eastern Yunnan to cut off the connection between the Qing army in Yunnan and the Qing army in Guangxi and Sichuan. However, Narisong, the deputy general of the southern expedition, and Asumu, the governor of Sichuan, believed that the original method was in danger of going deep alone. It was better to seize Luzhou and then go north to Chongqing. They would first eliminate Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty who was entrenched in Chongqing, and then surrender or join forces. The armies of the thirteen Kuidong families fought against the Qing Dynasty together, which could effectively offset the Qing army's strength advantage. This was a good move that was both steady and ruthless, but Xi Rimo refused to agree. The Lotus Khan ordered him to try his best to delay the return of the main force of the Eight Banners to Beijing. If the army entangled in Chongqing, the Qing army in Yunnan would have enough time. Go north to Guizhou and return to Beijing.

"No! I have made up my mind to keep the original strategy unchanged. After capturing Luzhou, Yongningwei, and Bozhou, I will not go to Chongqing but to Guizhou. We must focus on the Great Khan's strategy and find every way to support the Great Khan in capturing Beijing. Even if The lone army is in danger when going deep, and I recognize it." General Zhengnan waved his fist and roared like a hungry wolf. As soon as the Wolf of Oirat became angry, there was a sudden silence in the big tent, and no one dared to raise any objections.

"Are you here to persuade me to surrender the guard?" Qingshucheng Hou Di Sanpin asked the visiting guard envoy Fan Kuang with a smile in the commander's mansion in Jianchang Acropolis where Sichuan Xingdusi is located. Both of them had been Sun Kewang's confidants, and Fan Kuang had many good words for him when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Exactly. My dear brother, the guard army is so powerful that it cannot be defeated. Zhu Yangen, Long Haiyang, and Du Zixiang have all surrendered, so why do you use your arms like a chariot or a moth to pounce on the fire?" Fan Kuang said with a relaxed expression. The person in front of me is my friend, so it's natural and casual.

"If I surrender, what title will I get?" Di Sanpin asked.

Fan Kuang thought for a while and replied: "Zhu Yang'en was granted the title of third-class Marquis of Yanchang, Long Haiyang was granted the title of third-class Luzhou Bo, and Du Zixiang was granted the title of third-class Xuzhou Bo. If my virtuous brother surrenders, his title will be similar to that of Zhu Yang'en, and he will be granted the title of Marquis."

"Well, Brother Fan, please go to Guanyi to rest first, and let me discuss it with my subordinates. We will return later if we don't get drunk with Brother Fan!" Di Sanpin said with a smile.

After Fan Kuang left, he immediately called for discussions with his subordinates, Zuodudu Ai Chengye, General Feng Wanbao, and deputy generals Zhang Mingzhi, Ding Youcai, and Wang An.

"Commander, the guard army is strong. In my opinion, we must either surrender or leave." Ai Chengye, the left governor, was the first to speak. Although he is only in his twenties, he is the son of Ai Nengqi, King of Dingbei, one of the four kings of the Great Western Army, and the son-in-law of Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou. Therefore, his status is second only to Di Sanpin, but he does not have much military power.

"Yes, Marshal, Zhu Yangen, Long Haiyang, and Du Zixiang have all surrendered. Let's surrender too," Wang Anyi said. He was a general selected by King Bai Wen of Gongchang in the Ming Dynasty. He had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but at this time he wanted to change his mind anyway.

"The general thinks that it is because Zhu Yangen, Long Haiyang, and Du Zixiang have all surrendered that you cannot surrender. Have you forgotten about King Qingyang?" Feng Wanbao said suddenly.

Di Sanpin's heart trembled. At first, he tied up the old chief Qingyang King Feng Shuangli and gave it to Wu Sangui, so that he could be granted the title of Marquis of Shucheng. Feng Shuangli is a veteran of the Great Western Army and has good relations with Zhu Yangen, Long Haiyang, Du Zixiang and others. In the eyes of those people, he is a villain seeking glory. If I surrender, will I suffer retaliation from them? "Commander, with our few troops and horses, if we don't surrender, how can we resist the guards?" Wang An asked.

"This~" Di Sanpin trembled again. When he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were only more than 2,000 defeated soldiers left. Although after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he annexed the troops originally belonging to Qingyang King Feng Shuangli and recruited troops aggressively, Sichuan has been underpopulated due to the impact of long-term wars and has only been able to expand its army so far. There are only five thousand, how can they be the opponent of the Guards?

"It doesn't matter, Jianchang is not far from Kunming. You can tie up the Fan mine and give it to Prince Xin (referring to Qing army commander Duni), and then ask Prince Xin for help from the real Manchu army; all the chieftains in Jianchang have local Soldiers can also be called in to help in the battle. In this way, Jianchang will be defended." Zhang Mingzhi came up with a good idea.

Feng Wanbao and Zhang Mingzhi were Di Sanpin's confidants. Seeing that they did not advocate surrender, Di Sanpin made up his mind and ordered his old friend Fan Kuang to attend a banquet.

Is there any reason not to go when an old friend invites you to a banquet? Fan Kuang went happily.

The wine is over thirty, and the food is over five flavors. Di Sanpin bowed towards Fan Kuangshen, "In the past, when Brother Fan was an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he took great care of his younger brother. Once, my younger brother made a mistake. Thanks to your advice to the king, he saved his life. Thank you very much~ Thank you very much~"

"Oh, dear brother, why do we need to say thank you to each other? We're seeing each other, we're seeing each other!" Fan Kuang hurriedly supported him.

"Brother Fan, please help me one more time," Di Sanpin spoke again, his eyes sincere and sincere.

"Brother Yu, if you have anything to say, please say it. As long as Brother Yu can do it, I will do anything." After drinking a few more glasses, Fan Kuang showed his true feelings.

"The guards are approaching Jianchang. I want to ask Prince Xin to send troops to rescue. I need a token. After thinking about it, I had to tie up Brother Fan and send him to Kunming. I have wronged Brother Fan!" Di Sanpin threw out the wine glass with a sinister smile, and the guard After hearing the sound, they rushed in and tied up Fan Kuang tightly.

"Di Sanpin, you are a bastard! To betray King Qingyang is to be disloyal; to betray an old friend is to be unjust. To be unfaithful and unjust is to be like a pig or a dog! When the sun and moon shine brightly, there must be divine punishment!" Fan Kuang said! He was extremely angry and cursed loudly.

"God's punishment? If the thief God really has a spirit, how can we become thieves?" Di Sanpin spat, and said to Fan Kuang with a smile: "Since you know that I betrayed King Qingyang, you are disloyal, but you expect the disloyal person to be a thief?" Isn't it foolish to keep the righteousness of friends?"
