Daming wolf ride

Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian went out of the city to accept the surrender. They came out of the city without any accidents. They were so happy that the rebel generals in the tent cheered. This time they didn't even have to act again.

After a brief discussion between Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng came forward to meet him immediately, while Kong Youde waited in the tent.

Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian did not bring any guards, but only brought a dozen or so entourages out of the city. The moment the city gate opened, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes from above and below the city immediately shot at Xie Lian and his party.

Xie Lian paused at the city gate for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards the rebel barracks opposite.Zhu Wannian followed behind him with a heavy expression on his face. The faces of the attendants did not show the excitement of going out of the city to accept the surrender.

Some of the attendants couldn't help but look back at the city gate, only glanced at it, and their hearts became more panicked, but the hesitation was only a short moment, and when they looked back again, the expression "the strong man is gone forever" was more on their faces The tragic color. [

Zhu Wannian saw a group of generals rushing out from the opposite camp from a distance, and reminded Xie Lian in a low voice: "My lord, Li Kong has come out."

Xie Lian nodded, did not speak, and did not pause in his steps, with a look of determination on his face.

Zhu Wannian showed no signs of fear, and walked forward with his head held high. The official uniform on his body was spotless, and he looked very energetic.

Under the influence of the two of them, the dozens of attendants also gradually suppressed the fear in their hearts, and their expressions and behaviors gradually calmed down.

"It's Xie Lian! It's Xie Lian!"

"The one in front is Xie Lian, and the one in the back is Zhu Wannian, the magistrate of Laizhou. I met him when I was on business in Laizhou last year. He is a good official."

"Good official? Hey, then I have to leave it with Mr. Sun for us to use."

""

Behind Li Jiuzheng, several generals were discussing in low voices, and when they saw that Xie Lian was within a hundred paces, Li Jiuzheng hurriedly raised his hand to signal the generals to stop talking, and then led Geng Zhongyi, Li Zhongfu, Li Yingyuan and other officers out of the camp to meet them.

Zhong Fu and Zheng Bo were also brought here by the rebels at this meeting. When they saw Xie Lian come out to accept the surrender in the crowd, they felt a burst of excitement in their hearts.

Seeing that Li Jiuzheng had already gone to meet Xie Lian, Zhong Fu hesitated for a moment, and followed. Zheng Bo was originally relying on his status as a courtier and didn't want to go to meet Xie Lian, but seeing Zhong Fu go, he had no choice but to follow.

Xie Lian and his party stopped a dozen feet away from the rebel camp. Xie Lian adjusted his official uniform slightly, took another step forward, and then waited there.

Seeing this, Li Jiuzheng hurriedly led Geng Zhongyi, Li Zhongfu, and Li Yingyuan forward. Before Xie Lian was in front of him, he knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly: "The crime belongs to Li Jiuzheng, and the guilty minister deserves death. He deserves death.”

All the traitors also knelt there, crying together with Li Jiuzheng, but their faces were all lowered. I don't know if there are tears in their eyes, but just listening to the voice, they really look full of regret.

Xie Lian didn't expect that the rebel generals would do this. He was stunned for a moment, then instinctively raised his hand and said, "When you get lost, you will be repented and comforted, so that the common people can enjoy peace again. You should be grateful for the grace of the Holy Lord, and get up."

Xie Lian was talking, but his eyes were scanning the group of traitors in front of him. After scanning once, his brows suddenly frowned, "Why don't you see Kong Youde?"

Li Jiuzheng hurriedly raised his head and said: "Returning to my lord's words, surrendering this time is a crime, and Kong Ni is still in Dengzhou City."

"Huh?" Xie Lian was startled, "That's not right, what Zhang Guochen told me was that you and Kong Youde were going to surrender, so why is there only one of you now? Could it be that Kong Youde still wanted to hold back? Want to feign surrender like Dengzhou!"

"If we don't see Kong Youde, we can't accept this care!" Zhu Wannian suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Xie Lian, "My lord, they have no sincerity at all, let's go back to the city!"

Li Jiuzheng didn't expect Zhu Wannian, the magistrate of Laizhou, to react so jerkily. He was about to kidnap someone in a hurry. Just as he was about to order, Zhong Fu's voice came from behind him.

"Master Xie, our family is Zhong Fu from the Shangbao Supervisor in the palace, and he came to preside over the affairs under the order of Eunuch Gao. Before that, Li Jiuzheng had explained the situation to our family. Kong Youde had previously written to Dutang Liu and Eunuch Gao, He said that he was willing to surrender, but how could he know that he was a wicked person, and he was rebellious, and now he is unwilling to surrender. But it doesn't matter, Li Jiuzheng's willingness to surrender is enough. Kong Youde is a clown, most of his troops have gone, and it is not enough to defend Dengzhou For fear, but as soon as the army arrived, he was wiped out like a chicken and a dog. Now, please be at ease, sir, so that you can accept the surrender."

Li Jiuzheng also vowed: "If you are worried about Kong Ni, my lord, please give me a chance to redeem my sin. I am willing to lead my troops to recover Dengzhou and bring Kong Ni to my lord in person!"

Xie Lian doubted whether what Li Jiuzheng said was true or not, but with someone from the palace to prove it, he couldn't say much.At this moment, I just want to finish the matter of Li Jiuzheng's appeasement as soon as possible, and then bring all the rebels into the city. In this way, the big thing will be settled.

"Since this is the case, then I will accept your surrender, and bring me to your camp and present your roster. I will check some soldiers and horses, and then give supplies to prevent the soldiers from causing chaos."

"Okay, my lord please!" Li Jiuzheng stood up with a promise, then bowed and stepped aside, motioning for Xie Lian to go first.

Xie Lian nodded slightly, and walked forward with Zhu Wannian.After walking a few steps, several rebels took a step forward at the same time, and the two of them clamped one another. Before Xie and Zhu could react, they set up and left!

"No, the thief is cheating again! Close the city gate quickly! Close the city gate quickly!"

Yang Yufan on the top of the city saw it, knew it was a trick, slapped the battlements angrily, and ordered the city gate to be closed immediately without saying a word!

Not far away, thousands of rebels, led by dozens of cavalry, have rushed towards the city gate.

All the attendants who followed Xie Lian out of the city were all civil servants. Seeing the sudden change, they all panicked. Some people wanted to run, but the retreat was blocked by the rebels. The rebels tied them up like wolves and tigers .

"Li Jiucheng, what are you doing?"

Zhong Fu and Zheng Bo were frightened and stayed on the spot. The first thing Zhong Fu realized was to drag Li Jiuzheng and persuade him not to break his promise, but before he could grab Li Jiuzheng, he was hugged by several soldiers. Tow to the camp.

"Let go of our family, let go of our family! Ouch!"

Zheng Bo struggled a few times, but what he received was a severe beating from the rebels. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to howl again.

What happened, Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian didn't need to think about it, but they didn't even curse, they just stared angrily at the rebels who were rushing towards the city gate.

At this moment, the safety of Laizhou is far more important than their own lives.

All eyes on and off the city were also looking at the rebels rushing towards the city gate. As the rebels approached, the defenders on the city were already a little flustered. Fortunately, Yang Yufan gave the order in time, and the rebels were still dozens of steps away. At that moment, the city gate was closed tightly with a "bang".

Damn!

Seeing that they failed to seize the door, the rebels immediately burst into cursing.

The rebels who seized the gate still wanted to attack by force, but under the attack of the Ming army on the city, they left more than a hundred corpses and retreated.

Seeing this, Li Jiuzheng spit and asked someone to take Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian to the camp. [

After Xie and Zhu were taken to the camp, they saw Kong Youde leading Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming walking towards them.

Xie Lian had met Kong Youde before, and scolded him angrily when he saw him: "Kong Youde, you despicable and ungrateful villain, you must die!"

Kong Youde smiled, ignored Xie Lian, and gave some instructions. After a while, dozens of Hongyi cannons came out from the back of the camp, and went to the front of the camp. Laizhou City Wall.

Laizhou City has been bombed and is not as strong as before. Some places are newly reinforced and are not very useful. If these Hongyi guns and ammunition are sufficient, I am afraid that after a few bombardments, the city wall can really be blown down.

Seeing that the rebels were about to open fire, Xie Lian's face turned pale with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do, only half of his eyes were in pain.Zhu Wannian suddenly burst out laughing, startled Li Jiuzheng, and scolded: "Master Zhifu, what are you laughing at? Why, are you so scared?" Zhu Wannian looked at him contemptuously: "This government is laughing at you for being stupid. If you insist on me waiting, why do you have to fight hard? Follow me to the city with the fine cavalry, and call for the guards to come out and surrender. If you don’t surrender, then fire the bombardment.” Hearing this, Li Jiuzheng suddenly felt reasonable, and laughed loudly: "My lord, if you can summon the city to surrender, how many lives will you save? Please!" Kong Youde was suspicious, he sneered and said, "Zhu Wannian, if you cheat, you will be killed!" Zhu Wannian smiled and did not answer , go forward.

Kong Youde winked, several soldiers followed, put their knives on Zhu Wannian's neck, Li Jiuzheng waved his hand, Li Yingyuan hurriedly led his cavalry to follow, and rushed Wannian to the city.

Zhu Wannian raised his head to look at the city, and saw Yang Yufan was also watching him from the city, without any hesitation, he yelled at the city in a sharp voice: "I have fallen into the trap of thieves, and I swear I will die! All the best thieves are here, let's fire up So, don't think of me!"

Yang Yufan heard it clearly, and burst into tears, but couldn't bear to fire.

Zhu Wannian didn't see any movement, so he paused and shouted: "Mr. Yang, don't miss this opportunity, or it will be too late for regret!"

The word "Yi" came out, and the head was chopped off by the furious Li Yingyuan to the ground.

"Fire, fire!"

Yang Yufan was furious, stood upright on the top of the city, and ordered to fire hard. Seeing that Zhu Wannian was killed, the soldiers on the city were also red-eyed, and fired fiercely.

Kong Youde ordered to fire back. The two sides fought back and forth for half an hour. Both sides suffered casualties, but the defenders lost more than the rebels.The reason is that Yang Yufan ordered the defenders on the city to double, which made the defenders on the city wall too dense, and the rebels had newly transported more than a dozen red cannons from Dengzhou, which were more lethal than ordinary cannons. , Zhu Wannian was captured by the rebels, and the morale of the defenders was a little low. As a result, the casualties were naturally more.

Seeing that the Ming army's counterattack on the city had weakened, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were very excited. They were about to give orders to wait for the red cannon to cool down before continuing the bombardment, but an urgent call came from the camp: "Urgent report, urgent report!"

Urgent report?

Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng were surprised: Could it be that the Ming army from Xiaoguanzhuang is coming?

Li Jiuzheng asked the reporter, "What's the matter?"

The messenger didn't even bother to take a breath, and shouted: "Marshal, Dengzhou has fallen!"

Blowing on the air conditioner and blowing out a cold, it hurts my mother's back, but even yawning feels really good, but the runny nose is uncomfortable.

Some readers said that after more than a dozen chapters of the branch line, Dayong is still missing, so let’s speed up the plot and stop describing Laizhou too much.
