"Okay!" Li Yanzhi called out all the other surrendered generals and officials, and then asked Lin Zhengzong: "Do you have relatives and children?"
"Yes." Lin Zhengzong said.
"Where is seeing?"
Lin Zhengzong sighed and said, "In his hometown, Liaobei County."
Now under Li Yanzhi's control, Li Yanzhi said: "Then don't worry. As long as you do what I said seriously, if something happens to you, I will take good care of your children."
Lin Zhengzong couldn't help asking: "Marty, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Ruan Xin came to the book," Li Yan said straight: "I want you to reply to him on my behalf."
—————
When Lin Zhengzong followed Ruan Xin's envoy to the Ruan Army camp, Ruan Xin, Hu Sizhou, Ruan Zhong, Liu Zhiming and others were already looking for it in the camp.
The situation is very unfavorable to them now. Ruan Xin has lost 99% of the time, and the next thing is to see how the end is. If Li Yanzhi refuses to let them go, it is completely within their expectations.
"If we get there, we will fight with them!" Liu Zhiming said gritting his teeth: "If you fight one, you will fight one, and if you fight one, you will fight one."
"General Liu's fighting spirit is our vitality," Hu Sizhou said: "If Li Zhe does not want to pay too much casualties, he should consider our surrender."
"But, will we have too many conditions?" Ruan Zhong was a little worried.
Ruan Xin snorted when he heard this: "There are too many conditions? I can't believe them just these!"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, several of his subordinates all lowered their heads.
When they sent envoys, the Ming army still stepped up its siege, but the attack stopped now. Hu Sizhou thought this was a good sign, but he was really called Liaozhong. Li Yanzhi had a reply, and it was a positive reply.
"Congratulations to General, congratulations to General!" The envoy came back to report: "The governor has agreed to accept our army's surrender, and has also sent the prefect of Shenglong as an envoy to read out the rewards."
This news really made the whole army overjoyed. As the battle situation has developed to this point, the Ruan Army, no matter the generals, have lost their fighting spirit. It is the best way out for them to accept their surrender.
"But, the prefect of Shenglong? Who is that?" Hu Sizhou asked.
Ruan Xin didn't care about this anymore and shouted: "No matter who he is, he is just from the Ming Dynasty. Come on and put on the incense table, put on my robes and armor, and go with me to welcome the angels."
In fact, the people sent by Li Yanzhi cannot be considered "angels" - they must be the envoy of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be called angels, and there is no need to put on incense tables to accept Li Yanzhi's appointment - it is not an imperial edict, but Ruan Xin still decided to welcome the envoy with the highest specifications.
"But..." At this time, the messenger he sent said something Ruan Xin didn't hear clearly in a relatively low voice: "We recognize this special envoy..."
Their confirmation was that it was Lin Zhengzong, a civil servant above the county magistrate. Lin Zhengzong was the first to respond to Ruan Xin and Kaicheng's acceptance. However, when they cooperated with the Ming army, the gap between the northwest defense line was also Lin Zhengzong.
Ruan Xin was so angry that he had betrayed this civil minister after he betrayed him. He heard that he was coming to pass the order for a while and could hardly accept it, but Hu Sizhou persuaded him in one sentence: "General, we have to surrender to Zhenhai Marquis. It's just one step later than Lin Zhengzong. Don't worry about the past."
This sentence made Ruan Xin speechless. If he was still fighting against the Ming army, it would be fine. Now that he has decided to surrender to Li Yanzhi, then there is only a difference between him and Lin Zhengzong, and no one can say anything about each other.
So when Lin Zhengzong arrived at the main account, he was still welcomed by Ruan Xin and others. Ruan Xin was very polite to him, but he still couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. Ruan Zhong's mouth was sour, and when he met, he said sarcastically: "Mr. Lin, I heard that you have been promoted to the prefect of Shenglong. Congratulations, congratulations. It was indeed foresighted at the beginning, and we are not as good as you."
How could Lin Zhengzong not hear this? But he said, "Okay, I am Xiancheng, you are Xianjun. I am the prefect. I am the promotion of Zhenhai Hou. As for you, as far as I know," he shook the command in his hand and said, "There are at least three or four officials who are older than me."
His last sentence really had immediate effect. Ruan Xin and Hu Sizhou and others were worried about the first thing that Li Yan was willing to accept surrender. Now that the first thing he had solved was that he was worried about whether he could be treated well after he surrendered.
After hearing what Lin Zhengzong said, at least Hu Sizhou, Ruan Zhong and others put down the big stone in their hearts for seven or eight points. Ruan Xin also thought that if Lin Zhengzong could be the prefect of Shenglong with his contribution, his status would definitely be higher. Can Lin Zhengzong say that? At least three or four higher officials than him, he was of course the highest-ranking one. He was a surrendered general, and it was too much to be able to get a higher position than the prefect, so he was happy and ordered to summon sixteen major generals to listen to Lin Zhengzong's appointment.
Although there was no incense case, Ruan Xin and others removed all their helmets and held them in their hands waiting for Lin Zhengzong to read the order.
But Lin Zhengzong took out three scrolls and opened the first one, saying one by one: "Since the border army is willing to surrender, the generals are the virtue of being a virtuous person. All soldiers and soldiers and soldiers from the side are accepted. After returning, the food and salary will be paid according to the rules of the Nanguan Guard of Simingfu. All the merits and promotions will be implemented in accordance with the customs of the imperial court."
After reading the first letter, everyone was secretly happy from Ruan Xin that the soldiers and generals of Zhennan Pass of Simingfu were their old opponents. Most of these generals had colluded with the Ming army and generals inside. They knew that their treatment was not bad. They all thought that as long as Li Yanzhi could keep his promise, this surrender would be considered unjust.
Ruan Xin immediately took the lead and bowed to Li Yanzhi's direction, saying, "Why do we repay the Marquis of Zhenhai so kind? In fact, he said this to others. He was also preparing to spread the content of the letter so that Li Yan could not regret it.
Then Lin Zhengzong took out the second letter and recited: "I will send Hu Siming as the commander-in-chief of Annan, taking over all military affairs of our army, Liu Zhiming as the commander-in-chief of Beiguan, and Ruan Zhong as the commander-in-chief of Xiguan, assisting Hu Siming as the commander-in-chief of the new commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the capital, and assisting Hu Siming as the commander-in-chief of the capital, in order to handle military affairs. The rest of the soldiers and generals retained their positions in turn." As he said, he read eighteen names, either thousands of households or hundreds of households, in short, the main generals were included.
Many people were secretly happy when they heard this, but soon realized that something was wrong. They looked at Ruan Xin together. Ruan Xin was stunned and almost broke out. But looking at the third letter, they thought that these three letters were about soldiers first and then generals, and they were lower and higher first. Then the last letter should be about themselves. Thinking of this, they decided to bear it.
On the other side, Lin Zhengzong was already urging: "Three generals, Hu, Liu, and Ruan, please accept the order."
Hu Sizhou and others looked at Ruan Xin, and Ruan Xin signaled them to accept the order. After Lin Zhengzong opened the last letter, all the generals wanted to see what official Li Yanzhi had signed Ruan Xin, but they heard Lin Zhengzong say, "This is a rebel general Ruan Xin who has raised an army to disturb the people and cause trouble to Annan. Although the root of the country has not moved, his crimes are not allowed to be forgiven. I am quite familiar with the current affairs and surrendered to the army to save Annan's soldiers from the disaster. Thinking of this small merit, Ruan Xin was granted the salary of a hundred households and returned to the land to complete his life."
Only after reading this order, everyone was shocked, except for Lin Zhengzong, who was shocked. When the entire Xin finished reading it, Ruan Xin had long been bloodless. Lin Zhengzong was able to finish reading this order, not because Ruan Xin had good cultivation, but because he couldn't react for a moment. After Lin Zhengzong finished reading it, Ruan Xin suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted: "Okay! The person with the surname Li played with me!" He raised the knife and pointed at Lin Zhengzong and said: "You traitor, I will kill you first, and then fight with the person with the surname Li!"
As he said that, he rushed over with his knife. Lin Zhengzong closed his eyes and was ready to die. He only said in his heart: "Marquis Zhenhai, I hope you will treat my relatives, wives and children well and not break your trust."
The knife never poked to him, but he heard it, and then Ruan Xin shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Are you rebelling?"
Lin Zhengzong opened his eyes and saw Hu Sizhou blocking Ruan Xin with a knife. Liu Zhiming even hugged his hands and feet. Hu Sizhou shouted: "General, please think twice! Now is the last chance to save our lives. If we kill Prefect Lin, wouldn't it be like we blocking our own retreat?"
Ruan Xin laughed: "The way out? The way out? Li Zhe left you a way out, but what about me? What way out? If I accept this dizzy order, I will block this way out!" As he said, "Get out of here! I will kill this person surnamed Lin first, and then go and kill the person surnamed Li!"
Liu Zhiming retreated, but Hu Sizhou refused to move out of the way. Ruan Xin pointed at him and cursed: "What? Do you really want to betray me? Just for Feng, the Feng, who is surnamed Li, you commanded Tongzhi, everything, and you want to betray me?"
It would be fine if he didn't say this. After saying this, Hu Sizhou's attitude became more firmer.
Seeing that his deputy had different intentions from him, Ruan Xin did not look back, so he pointed his left hand at Ruan Zhong and signaled him to take action. However, after the code was called, there was no movement for a long time. He was surprised: "Did Ruan Zhong betray me too?" When he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. As soon as he lowered his head, the spearhead of a spear actually emerged from his chest! He twisted his neck and Ruan Zhong had already let go of the spear.
"You...you!" Ruan Xin's face was ferocious and he could hardly believe it.
This cousin Ruan Xin’s most trusted cousin said expressionlessly: “General Ruan, the Marquis of Zhenhai have already said that the Hutongzhi has taken over here. What is it that you are using a knife and a gun to the general in the main tent?”
Ruan Xin fell down without hearing all of his words. Among the generals, two of Ruan Xin's confidants were about to rush up, but Liu Zhiming slashed them to the ground one by one.
Lin Zhengzong was stunned by the sight. He didn't expect Ruan Xin to die so easily.
If Ruan Xin dies, then Lin Zhengzong doesn’t have to die. With Liu Zhiming, Ruan Zhong joins hands to suppress the remaining generals. Hu Sizhou leads the generals forward and says to Lin Zhengzong with a smile: “Mr. Lin, we will be colleagues in the future.”
