Jinyi Night Walk

Soon, a letter of begging for surrender written by Tie Xuan himself and signed by senior officials was shot down from the top of the city and fell into the Yan army camp.

The Yan army's attack that should have been launched again early in the morning stopped.

After last night's offensive propaganda, Zhu Di expected that the army's morale would be scattered in Dingcheng, and under the threat of breaking the embankment and flooding the city, the resistance of the defenders would be greatly weakened.Early in the morning, he assembled his army and prepared for battle, preparing to conquer Jinan in a battle. Unexpectedly, a letter of surrender was shot from the city. Zhu Di did not expect that the power of this extreme plan would reach this level. Send envoys to surrender.

Just after Chen's hour, the east gate of Jinan opened, and a group of envoys who negotiated surrender came out.

The soldiers who had already been ordered by King Yan immediately welcomed them into King Yan's central army tent.

Seeing the bearded man with thick eyebrows like a halberd sitting on the table, Yi Jiayi knelt down on the ground with a "boom", and said loudly: "Shandong Prefecture has proposed a criminal case, Yi Jiayi, General Feng Shengyong, Tie Xuan Xuan's order to participate in the government, lead the Jinan government to discuss the surrender of the army and the people, and pay homage to His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Yi Jiayi knelt down, and the two accompanying officials behind him hurriedly knelt down as well. On the contrary, the selected older civilians, seeing the majesty of the army, panicked and waited for the three officials. They all bowed down, and only then suddenly realized that they rushed to kneel down, but they were timid and only hid behind.

As far as Tie Xuan is concerned, none of these people, whether officials or civilians, knew the truth about the surrender, not to mention Zhu Di and the generals who have been watching their behavior with cold eyes since they came in, even if they are all golden-sighted Qing, it is impossible to see any flaws from the expressions of these people.

Zhu Di said coldly: "You resisted the king's soldiers and horses, and stood firm in this city of Jinan for more than two months, and now... are you finally willing to surrender?"

Yi Jiayi only said that he would follow King Yan from now on. Anyway, there are many civil and military officials who have surrendered to King Yan one after another. Treat him as one of his own, and think about it, he can't treat himself badly. As for the officials in Jinan City, there are dozens of high-ranking officials. He is really not qualified to show his face in front of the King of Yan. Now he finally has this opportunity to impress the King of Yan. , Naturally cheer up.

Hearing the words, he quickly kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, forgive me. There are traitors in the court who wantonly changed the ancestral system. According to the laws of my Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings have the right to send troops to clean up the king's side when the traitors in the court deceive the emperor to tamper with the ancestral system. Emperor Taizu Hongwu made the imperial regulations by himself. Huang Zhiliu, who was in the middle of the court, changed our official system and cut down our kings. It is a great rebellion and injustice. Your Highness sent troops to calm the difficulties.

Your Highness is the parent and son of the Taizu, and we are all the people of the Taizu, how dare we disobey the son of the Son of Heaven?The isolated city of Jinan has endured until today. It is all because General Sheng and Tie Canzheng do not know the destiny of heaven, and make false judgments about loyalty and traitors, so they are obsessed with obsession.Now, His Highness is determined to flood the city, and the people in the city are weeping in fear, unable to help themselves. General Sheng and Tie Canzheng also know their sins and feel remorse.Therefore, the grown-ups leave the city to beg for surrender, and hope that Your Highness will think that we will eventually be citizens of the Ming Dynasty, so please forgive me. "

Zhu Di saw that his words were sincere and did not seem to be fake, and that he was just begging for surrender, but he dared to agree with himself in his words, directly accusing the emperor of tampering with the ancestral system, and there were treacherous craftsmen in the court. Huanxi, quickly asked: "This king raised his troops to calm down the difficulties, and it is also for my Ming Dynasty and our ancestors. Since you are willing to open the city and surrender, why should this king kill again? Today, our army is Chinese and military, and many of them have fought against this king. Those who have fought against me, and those who have made me suffer a lot..."

The generals on the left and right couldn’t help laughing when they heard this. Some of them were defeated and surrendered, and those who had indeed caused Zhu Di a big loss at the beginning were a little embarrassed. This king will not add crimes, but praise him for his ability! You don't need to worry about it, if Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are willing to surrender me, this king will use it again."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness has a broad mind. I am ashamed, ashamed, of thinking of Your Majesty's intentions with my own heart!"

Zhu Di smiled and asked again: "Since you are going to surrender the city, when will you open the city to welcome it?"

Yi Jiayi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you stick to the city for two months, it will be very harmful to our Jing Nan soldiers. Both soldiers and civilians are actually worried, fearing that they will be retaliated. This Jinan City is the last shelter. How dare you take it lightly?" To leave, please leave the army behind and lead the guards to enter the city on light cavalry to show your sincerity, only the soldiers and civilians in the city dare to abandon their weapons and surrender."

Zhu Di was startled, and his smile gradually faded. He stared at Yi Jiayi suspiciously, and said coldly: "Begging for a surrender but not going out to meet him, how can there be such a reason since ancient times? You...do you want to feign a surrender?"

"His Royal Highness only needs to give an order, and Jinan will become a whole country. How can I dare to lie to His Highness again? I dare not come out to meet you because of the fear in my heart!"

Yi Jiayi kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness, you should be aware of the dire situation in Jinan City. There is a shortage of soldiers and horses, and the civilians are also transferred to the top of the city. Your Highness is full of tigers, but if you enter the city, who can fight against it? There is no reason to feign surrender, it is because of fear. !” As he spoke, he gave Yan Wang Zhu Di a wink.

Zhu Di's heart moved, he waved his hands and said: "In this case, you should step back and let me discuss with the generals."

Yi Jiayi and the others were taken out, and immediately, all the generals also came out one after another, and each took one person to interrogate them separately, even bluffing and deceitful, to see if they had the intention of feigning surrender, and Yi Jiayi was brought back to the In front of Zhu Di.

"Yi Jiayi, do you have some unspeakable addiction that you want to tell me?"

"Yes, I still have something to say, and I want to report it to Your Highness in secret."

It turned out that when Yi Jiayi accepted the task of envoys to surrender, he heard that Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others only set up incense cases in the city and did not go out of the city, and asked King Yan not to let the army enter the city first, but to enter the city first , I felt that it was a bit unreasonable, and I asked about the reason, and at this time, I just presented the answers of Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan.

Zhu Di was full of doubts, and after hearing Yi Jiayi's answer, he couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others also know that their conditions are too shameful, and it is not easy to trick King Yan into the city. At least, you refuse to leave the city, as long as he sends the army into the city first and takes over the city, You can't do anything to him.You have to let the king of Yan accept the surrender, and you have to trick the king of Yan into the city, how can you do it without some good reason.

Their reasons are comparable to King Ning's "double spring strategy" that was held hostage in Daning: "If the soldiers and civilians who defend the city do not come out, please invite Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to enter the city and spread the word. This city was broken by King Yan in a fierce battle , They were defeated and captured, not voluntarily surrendered. As for asking the king of Yan to go ahead and the soldiers to go behind, it is because of the two months of hard fighting, too many people died inside and outside the city, lest the soldiers Enter the city first and kill to vent your anger. If His Highness enters the city first, he will naturally be able to preside over the overall situation.

"These officials, who can stick to the isolated city for more than two months, can be regarded as real men in the world, but when it comes to begging for surrender, they are so swaying. The manly man should act crisply, why bother?" Doing this deceitful thing? It seems that they want to leave a way out for themselves."

Zhu Di originally admired them for their ability to hold on to the isolated city for more than two months, but because of this move, he couldn't help being a little contemptuous.

After waving Yi Jiayi away, Zhu Neng immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, don't listen to the hype that he said. Since ancient times, when he surrendered, there is no reason why the surrendered army will not leave the city, but the leader of the surrendered army should enter the city first? I'm afraid that there may be fraud in it, and now the people in the city are uneasy, and we can beat us hard, Your Highness must not take risks."

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "This king looks at his face and looks, and sees that his words do not seem to be fake. This reason is reasonable. There are too few people in the world who are optimistic about this king... Even if you attack by force at this moment, you can still break the city. However, the king has already accepted the surrender proposal, and if he interrupts the surrender proposal and attacks the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city will have no way out, and they will definitely stick to it. Our army will suffer heavy casualties. If we can take over the city without using swordsmen, how will I be able to do so? Can't take the risk? Since Jing is hard to come, when will this king not be in danger, what does it matter?"

Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and others were still worried. Zhu Di thought about it, so he asked people to find Luo Qian, the magistrate of Baoding, and the officials of Shandong Province who surrendered after the destruction of Dezhou, and asked them about Sheng Yong and Zhu Di. Officials commented one after another: Sheng Yong is simple, straightforward, courageous, resolute and resolute, he is a general who likes to go straight; Tie Xuan is straightforward and moral, he is an upright gentleman.

Immediately afterwards, the personnel in charge of interrogating the soldiers and civilians for begging and surrendering reported one after another. Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan announced their begging and surrendering in public. , but the representatives of the common people, who can't pretend to be fake, may not have such a scheming city, and their answers are the same.

Hearing this, Zhu Di became more determined to preside over the surrender himself to show his sincerity in accepting the surrendered army.Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and the others had no choice but to ask King Yan to put on three layers of leather armor and a vassal king's python clothes before allowing him to ride on the horse. Then they carefully instructed the guards around Zhu Di to be vigilant at all times in case Unexpectedly, once an ambush is found in the city, immediately cover His Highness and return.

This side was preparing, and Yi Jiayi and others who got the reply over there happily went back to the city to report the letter.

In the city, Xia Xun was so anxious that his palms were sweating, and the sun was scorching on his head. His heart seemed to be boiling, which was even more difficult than the scorching sun.Apart from a few officials such as Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, as well as some confidants of the supervising team, he is probably the only one who knows that there is a fraud.Everyone is drunk and I am sober alone, that feeling is not good.

Seeing the envoys enter the Yan camp, and then watching them rush back, at the end of the army of the King of Yan moving in ranks, Zhu Di, dressed in a vassal python robe and straddling a steed, came slowly and mightily under the guard of sixteen relatives. Xia Xun was so anxious that he almost fainted.

He couldn't believe the so-called miracle. If it wasn't for him, the King of Yan would have been blown to pieces by the Mongols in Beiping's Yan Palace in his sleep. To survive, I am afraid that it is only possible for him to come forward.But he mixed in with the welcome crowd in the city, crowds gathered and everyone cheered, he wanted to step forward and couldn't get through the crowd, how could he warn King Yan.

"Climb up the wall and jump down, as a warning of death? Even if brother is crazy, maybe he will be squeezed down and fell to his death. Death is useless! What should I do? What should I do?"

King Yan's team was getting closer, bead-sized beads of sweat rolled down from Xia Xun's forehead one by one...

Close call!How can you guys turn the tide?Now we are fifth, and we are only [-] votes away from third. Can we surpass it?Guan Guan's arms are sore, and he is writing words on the armrest of the chair, but his body is weak and his ambition is true. Friends, can you still give it a try?
