Chapter 317 A Man Who Was Born a Strange Man and Died a Husband (Part 1)
Zhang Guochen and Qu Yiyang were overjoyed when they heard what Zhu Wannian said. They secretly said that it was just as the Governor had expected. After seeing the letter, they would definitely not refuse the care again.
Yang Yufan was in a hurry and knew something was wrong. Xie and Zhu were most likely persuaded by Liu Yulie's letter to leave the city and accept surrender! In desperation, he stepped forward to persuade him, but Zhu Wannian hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xie Lian
Sentence: "Master Futai, do you think this is credible?" Xie Lian was startled. In terms of his true nature, he did not believe it, but if he continued not to surrender, the consequences would not be something he could bear. Liu Yulie's letter was almost naked.
Wexe, I can't tolerate him refusing anymore.
"Li and Kong have always been cunning, and they have learned from Dengzhou Yuanhua's mistakes. They have to be on guard, but the imperial reinforcements are more than ten miles away. Master Dutang said in the letter that the reinforcements are strong and powerful, and they have the magic brought by Master Dutang."
The machine camp, the capital camp under the command of Gao Qiqian, also had elites from Liaodong and more than 10,000 Sichuan soldiers, with a total force of more than 40,000. They also killed the bandit general Chen Youyou in Shahe, and defeated Li Jiucheng in Xiaoguantun. Both battles were
The rebels were severely damaged, so I guess that Li and Kong may no longer be afraid, and may actually consider surrendering." Xie Lian said this quite against his will.
Zhang Guochen and Qu Yiyang were overjoyed when they heard this. What Xie Lian said was exactly the reason for their appeasement.
Zhu Wannian was unmoved. He shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Not necessarily. The lower official thought differently from Mr. Futai. The lower official thought Li and Kong were still pretending to surrender." [
"Why did Henan say this?" Xie Lian leaned forward slightly.
Zhang Guochen and Qu Yiyang frowned slightly at the same time and glanced at Zhu Wannian impatiently. Yang Yufan actually had hope in his heart.
Zhu Wannian ignored the unkind looks from Zhang and Qu, and said to himself: "First, the governor has commanded the army and stationed the small officials, but has been slow to advance. He only sent envoys to discuss appeasement. It has been a long time, and Li and Kong Zhen have surrendered.
, he should have surrendered long ago, why did he only perfunctoryly negotiate the terms of the proposal? Secondly, Li and Kong wanted to surrender, and they should have surrendered, Lord Dutang, why did they surrender to me? So I thought there must be fraud in it."
"What He Nan said is absolutely true." Xie Lian nodded, slowly stood up, walked a few steps, and stopped in front of Zhu Wannian, "But if you can really appease me, it will be of great benefit to both the imperial court and me. The master of the imperial court will make the decision.
It seems that Lord Dutang is the chief governor of the power of war control. Now the rebels are asking for surrender. If I refuse, not only may I miss a good opportunity to bring peace, but I will also be charged with "undermining the war". I
We have been trapped for several months and the danger is very serious. If the thieves see that I am not being tolerated, they will rush to attack. The Lord Dutang has stationed troops and the minor officials are not allowed to enter. I am afraid that the city of Lai will be destroyed."
Hearing this, Zhu Wannian did not say anything more, but just sighed. Indeed, no matter how suspicious he was, he could not be labeled as "undermining the government." Today, the Ming Dynasty is not only suffering from natural and man-made disasters, but also internal and external troubles, and even more serious ones.
The disaster of party strife. Today, the court is controlled by Donglin, such as Xie Lian, and non-Donglin officials like him, if they are not at all right, they will end up "joining the party and fighting against those who are different".
Xie Lian knew the consequences, and it was good that he said it himself, so he didn't have to clarify it himself. Zhang Guochen and Qu Yiyang looked at each other with joy in their eyes. If Xie Lian refused to surrender, Li Kong would definitely attack the city urgently.
Without reinforcements, Laizhou would be in danger. If Laizhou was not in danger, Xie Lian had no choice. He had no choice but to leave the city and accept surrender!
Yang Yufan's face was pale now. He could weexe Zhang and Qu, but he would never dare to weexe Xie Lian.
In just a moment, Zhu Wannian had made up his mind. He also stood up and said, "Although what your Excellency said is reasonable, we must guard against Li Kong pretending to surrender and taking the opportunity to attack the city."
Xie Lian nodded solemnly: "Yes, so I thought that among the three of us, two would go out of the city to accept surrender, and one would strictly guard the city. If there is any change, the people guarding the city would blast the rebels, so there is no need to worry about those who leave the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yufan and Zhu Wannian rushed out almost at the same time and said at the same time: "The last general (lower official) is willing to leave the city and accept surrender!"
Both of them knew that it was extremely dangerous to go out of the city and be surrendered, but they stepped forward without hesitation. Yang Yufan was ready to kill himself. Although he did not believe Li Kong, but the matter had come to this, he could not turn a blind eye.
Watching Xie Lian put himself in danger.
Xie Lian looked at the young Yang Yufan, and then said: "General Yang is a military attache, and it is his duty to defend the city and fight against thieves. It is my duty to go with Magistrate Zhu to meet the thieves."
Yang Yufan said anxiously: "It is precisely because of my humble position as a military attache that I can meet the thief. If there is a scam, it is a good time to give it a try."
Zhu Wannian smiled, raised his hand and said: "Commander Yang, stop fighting. Master Futai said that Commander Yang cannot go. I am the magistrate of Laizhou, and it is my duty to hold my position. That's it, Commander Yang defends the city.
I and Master Futai went out of the city to accept surrender. We are both civil servants, and with the strength of a chicken, staying in the city will not help. But if you stay here, you can protect Laizhou in a critical moment."
"Two adults!"
Yang Yufan wanted to say more, but Xie Lian interrupted him directly, turned around, looked at Zhang and Qu with happy faces, and said coldly: "Today, I, Xie Lian, am willing to go out of the city and accept surrender, but if the rebels are cheating, my death will not be enough."
It’s a pity, but please tell the Lord Dutang that in the case of Denglai, the priority should be to quickly suppress it. If you care about it again, it will only harm the country and the people, and leave you with eternal infamy.”
After saying that, he put his hands behind his hands and walked out, followed closely by Zhu Wannian. Zhang Guochen and Qu Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but when they saw Yang Yufan looking at them fiercely, they couldn't help but tremble and did not dare to stay here anymore.
In the lobby, on the pretext of going to the city to make contact, he left in despair.
After the two of them left, Yang Yufan's Qianzong Meng Chao asked for instructions: "Zhentai, what should we do? Do we need to send troops to protect the two adults?"
"No need." Yang Yufan shook his head, showing a look of pain. After standing quietly for a moment, he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Pass my general's order and double the number of soldiers on the city. No one is allowed to open the city without my order!"
[
When Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian were preparing to leave the city to surrender, in the rebel camp outside the city, Li Jiucheng was begging the two eunuchs with a smile on his face, "so that the two father-in-laws will know that I was actually bewitched by Kong Youde.
I did this treasonous thing because of my anger. Now I regret it very much. I am willing to change my mind and surrender to the imperial court. As long as Governor Xie can come forward to accept the surrender and relieve the suspicion of my subordinates, I will lead the entire army to lay down their weapons and wait for the imperial court to deal with it!
I knew that the crime I committed was too serious and I didn't dare to expect that the court would let him go. However, I would die if I died, but I couldn't let go of the dog Ying Yuan. I knew that I had also blindly followed Benizi that day, so I asked my two father-in-laws to take my place in front of Eunuch Gao.
Ying Yuanfen said a few words, as long as the dog can be saved, I will feel grateful to you two father-in-law even if I die for my humble position!"
