Wanli 1592

Chapter 38 Xu Chao wants to surrender
Under such circumstances, subtle changes have taken place within the rebel army. For example, Liu Dongyang has a different kind of emotion in his heart—if he hadn’t been encouraged by Bai Bai, he should still be his comfortable leader, although I don't have much status, but I have enough money and food, I live a good life, and I have a bunch of younger brothers. Everyone plays when they are free, and runs when they are busy, and it is actually quite easy to eat.

But now, the general soldier is besieged by the imperial army and vowed to kill him. A good Han soldier actually joins the rebels.

Although the person who said these words was blasted before, these words may not have had an impact on Liu Dongyang's psychology. The emotion called regret gradually affected Liu Dongyang, and Liu Dongyang also gradually developed resentment towards the worship.

On the seventh day of April, Liu Dongyang and Qiao Bai once again made joint efforts, sending Tu Wenxiu and Xu Chao to lead a team of [-] elite cavalry from the north gate to the grassland to seek help from the grassland tribes. , The inside and the outside worked together to defeat a part of the Ming army, allowing them to calmly enter the grassland to survive, but what they didn't expect was that the team that rushed out was defeated again.

It's also because of their bad luck. Before, the supervisor Mei Guozhen became interested in Magui after listening to Xiao Ruxun's evaluation of Magui, and the rumors of "Dong Li Xima". Inspecting the army in the camp, when they heard the enemy was coming, they immediately pulled up their swords and mounted their horses.

He was very excited to lead Magui's cavalry team and Wang Hui's firearms battalion to intercept them. Facing a strong enemy, Mei Guozhen, who was born as a civil servant, was not afraid at all. The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, if Xiao Ruhui hadn't dissuaded him, he would have charged in person.

Then, after the 300 cavalry were beaten up by the Ming army's muskets and artillery, they were defeated and defeated. Ma Gui and the guerrilla general Xiao Ruhui personally led the troops to fight Tu Wenxiu Xu Chao. In order to give Mei Guozhen a better impression, they all died. In a fit of anger, the [-] cavalry were forced to flee in embarrassment, leaving more than [-] people in embarrassment. The rebels at the top of the city quickly fired artillery to cover them, and Ma Gui led his troops to retreat. The Ming army won another victory and beheaded [-] people. Zero Seven, confirmed by Mei Guozhen on the spot, reward!
Tu Wenxiu's arm was chopped off by Ma Gui and almost fell off, Xu Chao was simply cut off by Xiao Ruhui's ear, and fled in embarrassment. Now, there are less than two thousand cavalry in the city.

This defeat intensified the conflict between the Qibai Group and Liu Dongyang Group. Liu Dongyang angrily reprimanded Tu Wenxiu for being useless, and wanted to kill him to uphold the morale of the army. Qibai and Qiao Chengen were furious, and argued with Liu Dongyang for the fact that Xu Chao flinched before the battle. To kill Xu Chaoyi to uphold the morale of the army, the two faced each other tit for tat, and almost tore their faces apart. In the end, Zhou Guozhu, Qiao Chengchong and Xini found a scapegoat to kill, and then reluctantly dissuaded Xiaobai and Liu Dongyang.

But after this confrontation, it is almost only a matter of time before the two people and the two groups completely break up. Both sides are intensively preparing for the next move. Go out of the city to find foreign aid to rescue yourself.

They all overlooked a problem - after the three thousand cavalry of Zhuo Litu was almost wiped out by Xiao Ruxun, the hundreds of cavalry who returned to the grassland were still in shock and spread the statement that thunder came to the world, which made Taolu internally understand the Ming Dynasty's attack. The civil war created fear.

All of a sudden, the several eager tribes settled down, and no one could think of the follow-up of Zhulitusuo, and then they suddenly focused their attention on other places—they looked at the Litusuo, whose strength was greatly damaged but the water and grass were abundant, and shot down. I have another thought...

Soon, Zhuo Litu's troops entered into a state of war with the other tribes, and all the troops were lost.

The foreign aid that I had placed high hopes on, actually started a civil war!How could Xiaobai not vomit blood?

That night, Xu Chao secretly came to find Liu Dongyang, and the two old comrades discussed in Liu Dongyang's secret room.

"In the current situation, the city is besieged on all sides, and Bai Bai tried to break out of the siege repeatedly and failed repeatedly. He is in danger now, but he wants to drag you and my brother to be buried with him. We shouldn't do this kind of loss-making business. We were once Daming anyway. Military households, if Xiancheng surrenders, saying that we were bewitched by the worshipers and offering the heads of the father and son of the Qian family, you and I may not be able to survive!"

Xu Chao tried his best to persuade the vacillating Liu Dongyang.

Liu Dongyang still hesitated.

"I heard that the imperial court has issued a reward for you and my brother. Isn't the imperial court trying to kill us? If we surrender, can we survive?"

"It can't be said that, the imperial court just wants to make a gesture to prevent others from betraying again. This rebellion was originally proposed by the worshiper. You and I were just bewitched. To be honest, you and my brother can even be counted as a Coerced from the thief! When the time comes, we will kill the father and son of the Qian family, pour dirty water on them, say that they killed Dang Xin and Zhang Weizhong in front of us, and force us to rebel together. get to the bottom."

Xu Chao analyzed it carefully.

Liu Dongyang frowned and said hesitantly: "Is that true? The imperial court will allow us to surrender and not investigate our actions? It's not just Dang Xin and Zhang Weizhong! Princess Qing was forced to death by us! Prince Wang still doesn't know trace."

Xu Chao thought for a while, and felt that he also needed to make sure that the court really didn't care about the rebellion, so he said: "Otherwise, I will secretly send someone out of the city to ask Wei Xuezeng, if he agrees , we want his own handwriting, allowing us to surrender and forgive our sins, then we will open the city and surrender."

Liu Dongyang narrowed his eyes, and after a while, let out a breath slowly.

"Okay, you go to do this matter, as long as it is done, you and my brother can enjoy the glory and wealth calmly!"

At midnight that day, a special envoy of the Xu Dynasty was sent down in a basket from the city tower, and sneaked into the Ming army camp under the cover of night.

Wei Xuezeng was worrying all night thinking about the strategy of breaking the city, and he didn't fall asleep. Suddenly, he found the captain of the guards with a strange expression on his face and told him that there was a wretched man sneaking around outside the camp. He was captured by the night guards and claimed to be Xu Chao's confidant came here to see the governor.

Xu Chao?

Wei Xuezeng's fatigue and drowsiness were swept away immediately, he was full of energy, his eyes were bright, and he hurriedly said: "Bring him to see the governor immediately!"

The captain of the personal army immediately nodded in agreement, but was suddenly stopped by Wei Xuezeng, who saw Wei Xuezeng's solemn expression: "Don't disturb anyone else, secretly bring to see the governor!"

"promise!"

The captain of the bodyguard turned and left.

Wei Xuezeng immediately realized that the key to breaking the game might be right in front of him!If it is handled properly, Ningxia City will be obtained without any effort, not only avoiding trouble, but also avoiding countless killings!So he straightened his clothes and sat in the tent. After a while, a wretched man with his hands tied behind his back appeared in the tent with several personal soldiers guarding him. Turning around, looking malicious.

"You are the confidant of the traitor Xu Chao?"

Wei Xuezeng asked.

"Governor Wei, you have ruined my general's good intentions with one mouthful of traitors. If you say this about my general and treat my general in this way, then the purpose of the villain's coming this time will be completely gone. My family The general's heart is chilling, how can he do things for the governor?"

This man actually put on a haughty look, Wei Xuezeng was furious, and slapped the table: "Presumptuous! The two armies are not beheaded when they are at war, but the rebels are not included! The rebellious messenger, the governor can definitely kill him! How dare you dare to kill the rebellious messenger! So arrogant! Zhang Yang! Push it out! Kill this person and this governor!"
