Chapter 435 Lost the wife and lost the army
Zhou Haoguang frowned and asked to the deputy general beside him: "What do you mean is to let this general surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army..."
Seeing the affirmative expression on the face of the deputy general, Zhou Haoguang's facial expression was replaced by anger.·When he shouted to the deputy general in front of him, "Bastard... As a general of the Ming Dynasty, even surrendering words, are you still a soldier? Do you still have a little bit of a soldier's backbone in your eyes..."
"Besides, after I lead you to surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army, what should my family in the capital do..."
The deputy general who was panicked in his heart quickly explained: "General, everyone says that if you keep the green mountains, you are not afraid of burning out of materials... As long as we survive, these generals around the general can survive, you will have a chance to make a comeback..."
"As for your family in the capital, General, the last general is sure that the court will never kill them because of this time..."
"From the current battle situation, the Tiger and Leopard Army left behind in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces can completely block more than 100,000 troops touched by the court outside the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Not only that, the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will also severely damage or even wipe out several armies dispatched by the court."
"In this case, General, do you think the purpose of the imperial court's direct attack on Huanglong can be achieved... Since there is no way to directly attack Huanglong and threaten the safety of the Tiger and Leopard Army's base camp, the tens of thousands of Northern Expedition Army that attacked the capital city would attack the capital without any worries and force the court to negotiate with them..."
"So, the last general can be sure that the current military conflict with the Tiger and Leopard Army will definitely end with the court's compromise. At that time, the court, which suffered heavy losses in this military conflict, will not only not ask General, your crime, but will continue to use General, because the court needs generals like you who have fought with the Tiger and Leopard Army to retrain the army and make up for the losses on the battlefield..."
Although the deputy general's speculation shocked Zhou Haoguang very much.
However, Zhou Haoguang is not a fool either. After just a brief analysis, it has to be admitted that all the analysis of the deputy general is reasonable and well-founded.
With the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Tiger and Leopard Army in the battle just now, the Tiger and Leopard Army left behind in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces can wipe out all of us, as well as other attacking armies.
Besides, with Zhou Haoguang’s understanding of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has the idea of negotiating with the court, will never just launch an attack on the army they are in.
Perhaps at this time, the other armies were like themselves, surrounded by heavy troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, waiting for destruction.
Thinking of this, Zhou Haoguang's face finally calmed down.
Faced with Zhou Haoguang's changing face, the deputy general also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a tiger and leopard army musketeer suddenly held up a white flag and walked towards Zhou Haoguang's location.
Under the anticipation of Zhou Haoguang and the generals, a message that made all of them breathe a sigh of relief was directly reached their ears.
"As long as everyone surrenders, the Shanxi Governor's Office will definitely ensure their safety. And in the future negotiations with the court, we will return everyone to the court..."
Faced with the two choices of death and living, Zhou Haoguang, who had already thought about it, undoubtedly chose to surrender to the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Losing the biggest enemy of 5,000 cavalry, thousands of infantry in the military camp, which had no heads, had no combat power at all. The Tiger and Leopard Army, which followed the defeated military troops of the military, shot less than ten flowering bullets at the military camp, and forced the remaining officials in the military camp to surrender.
The battle that took place in Yangquan County just ended, and the Northern Army, which had captured the first line of defense of the government army, received news that the court planned to hold peace talks.
In order to force the Northern Army to continue to attack the capital, Emperor Chongzhen completely put down his so-called face at the instigation of the important officials in the court. He directly proposed to negotiate with the Tiger and Leopard Army in the form of telling the world, and demanded that the Northern Army immediately stop all military operations and no longer advance to the capital...
Wei Zheng, who personally commanded the Northern Army, could clearly see the purpose of the court and Emperor Chongzhen at a glance.
However, no matter how clear it is, Wei Zheng had to take on the move that the court had taken.
Because at this moment, Wei Zheng has not yet reached the point where he can truly replace the court and Emperor Chongzhen.
Before there is no strong enough military strength, as long as you truly invade the capital and replace Chongzhen, the entire Ming Dynasty will definitely fall into a chaotic warlord separatist situation.
More importantly, hundreds of thousands of border troops defending the border will lose command as a result...
By then, if you lack troops, you will have no way to ensure the stability of the entire border defense line.
In this case, if you have suffered a great loss in your hands, you will not miss this opportunity to go south again to rob...
Tens of thousands of Later Jin troops went south to plunder the Central Plains, and warlords in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were in chaos... All of this was the situation that he was about to face after capturing the capital and replacing Emperor Chongzhen at this moment.
Therefore, with only tens of thousands of elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers and 100,000 local garrisons, Wei Zheng would never do such a fool as capturing the capital and replacing Emperor Chongzhen.
So, tens of thousands of Northern Expedition Army stopped in front of the second line of defense arranged by the imperial court outside the capital, and could not advance or retreat.
As time passes day by day, the strength of the official army standing in front of us continues to increase day by day.
Wei Zheng finally received news that more than 100,000 official troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi Province were attacked.
After hearing the news, Zhao Yun, who was irritated, picked up a big knife and rushed into the military account where the court negotiators were located. He wanted to ask them why the court did not keep his promise...
As long as these negotiators cannot answer the question, they will use a big knife to cut off their heads.
Facing the angry Zhao Yun, he had long expected that there would be such a moment of court negotiators and directly denied it.
"General Zhao, the court has issued an order to all the officials and soldiers around Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces by telling the world that they will stop all military operations before receiving the new imperial edict from the court..."
"You all know these situations... So, I guess that the attack on these official troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces must be their unauthorized actions against the imperial edict..."
"As long as General Zhao still believes in the court, I will immediately write a letter to the court to let the court thoroughly investigate the troops. And severely punish these official troops, immediately withdraw the troops, and stop all military operations against Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."
Although I know that what the other party said is nonsense, how could Zhao Yun, who was a bandit, be the opponent of these scholars in terms of quibbling?
After a few rounds of fight, Zhao Yun, who was rushing towards him with anger, was so in a row that he couldn't say a word.
Faced with this result, a sneer flashed across Wei Zheng's face, whose face had not changed at all.
Then, a trace of murderous aura emanated from Wei Zheng.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he quickly urged him: "Master... In the eyes of Mo Jiang, there is nothing to say about these nerds...Master, please give Mo Jiang another chance, and Mo Jiang will cut off their heads immediately..."
"After cutting off their heads, continue to attack the capital and go directly outside the capital. Let the court know that our Tiger and Leopard Army is not that easy to play..."
Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head. Finally, he said, "These civil servants should indeed be killed..."
"Most of the reason why our Ming Dynasty became like this today is caused by these civil servants..."
"But, killing, killing, not killing now, nor do we kill..."
Zhao Yun frowned and asked in confusion: "It's not us who kills us, nor is it now...Master, I don't understand what you said..."
Wei Zheng explained: "From the current situation, the court proposed to negotiate with us for only one purpose, that is, to entrust us here and give them time to attack the army of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."
"As long as the imperial court can invade our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, in the face of the two choices of base camp and capital, we will definitely choose to withdraw our troops and return to the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."
"At that time, the crisis in the capital of the imperial court will be lifted..."
"Not only that, the government troops that invaded Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will also carry out large-scale destruction in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, weakening our strength. What's more, they will give us a dog that fell into the water on our way to retreat..."
Seeing Zhao Yun nodding with a defensive face, Wei Zheng changed his words and continued, "But, can we make the court's purpose come true... The court can set us apart, and we can set us apart..."
"I had already thought of this problem before I went to war. That's why I left Wang Feng in Datong and left a total of 20,000 well-equipped Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."
"Not only that, I also gave Wang Feng a general order. At the critical moment, we left 20,000 elite troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and with the cooperation of local garrisons, we can also attack Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, further expand our territory, and make the court lose his wife and troops."
"Do you think that with our left-behind troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, even the more than 100,000 attack troops sent by the imperial court, can't stop it?"
"It can definitely be blocked..." Zhao Yun, who was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army, answered without thinking.
"Not only can it be stopped, as long as General Wang has a big appetite, he can also take this opportunity to eliminate several elite troops sent by the court, and follow the general order of the Grand Marshal, attack the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and expand our territory..."
Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "This is the result I want..."
"The court intends to use this attack to attack us, and that general can also use this counterattack to serve the court, so that the court can't say anything about suffering..."
"As long as we can win this counterattack, face the heavy losses on the front line, and face the powerful army of our Northern Expedition Army, no matter how unwilling the court, he would have to truly compromise with us."
