"Report! General, we have received a secret letter, it seems to be for King Gongshun!"
At this moment, a person hurried over.
Obai snatched the secret letter from the man's hand, then read it, and laughed loudly after reading it: "Haha! Okay! This Kong Youde, despite all the calculations, I still got a big deal!
"
Seeing Obai laughing, a general asked: "General Ao, what is written in this letter?"
Ao Bai said: "Haha! This letter says that officials of the Ming Dynasty want to unite with Kong Youde, and Zhang Xianzhong has been persuaded to surrender to us!"
"Originally, this pledge of loyalty was to be surrendered to Kong Youde, but now it is mine. Do you think this is a big bargain?"
this……
Hearing what Obei said, the general standing next to Obai looked embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "General, I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter. Why did someone send a message to you as soon as King Hun Shun left?"
"kindness?
Do you mean there is a fraud in this?"
Oboi asked.
"General, this is just a villain's guess. Perhaps this is Lin Fan's plan. First, he framed Kong Youde and made us think that he was secretly colluding with the Ming Dynasty!"
"At this time, we will suspect that the regent replaced Kong Youde and asked you to come. Then Lin Fan sent a secret letter, saying that it was an official conspiracy and he wanted to surrender with Zhang Xianzhong."
"In this way, we can make us think that Kong Youde is secretly colluding with the officials instead of Lin Fan, but in fact, this is their plan!"
"If after we accept Zhang Xianzhong's surrender, he suddenly attacks us with an army of hundreds of thousands, we will definitely not be our opponent!"
The general analyzed.
When Obai heard what this person said, his eyes instantly became dark. Such a possibility was not impossible. Then Zhang Xianzhong didn't surrender to Li Zicheng, so how could he surrender to them?
this……
I have to guard against it!
"We must be careful about this matter, but if Zhang Xianzhong really surrenders, it will indeed be a good thing. We can't just ignore it!"
Obai said in a deep voice.
"General! How about this? Doesn't Zhang Xianzhong want to surrender?
Naturally, he has to show some sincerity, for example, if he has four generals under his command, just offer the head of any one of them."
The man came up with an idea.
Hearing what this man said, Obai's face showed joy and he said: "What a great idea! If he really kills one of his trusted generals, then he will definitely surrender!"
"Send someone to Shanhaiguan now to discuss with Zhang Xianzhong and ask him to offer a man's head to show his sincerity!"
Obai said in a deep voice.
A group of people took the order and quickly headed towards Shanhaiguan.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had already brought troops and horses to Ning to garrison. Of course, he only brought out 100,000 people, and the remaining 50,000 people still had to garrison at Shanhaiguan.
"Brother Li, the superior suddenly brought us to Ningyuan without fighting Jian Nu. What do you think the superior had in mind?"
Ainengqi said in a deep voice.
"Alas! It's hard to talk about this. Some time ago when I came to power, I almost led my troops back to the capital, and now I suddenly come to Ningyuan. I have a bad feeling."
Li Dingguo said in a deep voice.
"Bad feeling?
Is it possible that the higher-ups can lead us to submit to the slaves?"
Enengqi said with a smile.
"This matter is not impossible. During this time, the superiors were very worried. Lin Fan's rise was too fast. The superiors submitted to the Ming Dynasty and were only canonized as the Five Tiger Generals of Shanhaiguan. They were on par with us. Naturally, the superiors were dissatisfied.
"
"Moreover, the superior asked the imperial court for silver over and over again. The imperial court only gave him tens of thousands taels of silver the first two times. The third time it was indeed one million taels, but it was already difficult to regain the superior's heart!"
Sun Kewang said in a deep voice.
He saw the matter more thoroughly. Zhang Xianzhong was not stationed at Shanhaiguan, but he led his troops to Ningyuan, obviously to negotiate with Jiannu.
"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense. It is absolutely impossible for the superiors to surrender and become slaves. There are hundreds of thousands of us here, and we are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Wenxiu said angrily.
"What about the people of the Ming Dynasty?
We are not relying on our brothers to guard here, but now that the army of slave builders is attacking, what will the imperial court do?"
"Then Lin Fan has an army of 300,000 men, why doesn't he come to garrison Shanhaiguan?
Then why doesn't the capital allow us to garrison it?
It’s not like you don’t trust us!”
Sun Kewang said angrily.
The four of them had already quarreled, and Zhang Xianzhong had already seen the man sent by Obai. When he heard the man's request, Zhang Xianzhong was furious.
"Asshole! Who do you think I am, Zhang Xianzhong?
You actually want me to kill my adopted son, I think it’s better to kill you!”
Zhang Xianzhong immediately said angrily.
He originally agreed to the officials' request and decided to negotiate with Jiannu. If he could get a prince in exchange and give himself enough military pay, he would agree to cooperate with Jiannu.
But now, he decided to go to war with the Jiannu to let those Jiannu know how powerful he is!
"You! Okay! I think you have never thought about submitting to our Qing Dynasty. Our Qing Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. If you don't submit, you will be wiped out!"
The envoy sent by Obai said angrily.
Zhang Xianzhong immediately rebuked: "Haha! What if you, a group of slaves, have strong soldiers and horses?
My men are not weak either, kill! Cut off this man’s head and send him to Jinzhou!”
After that, Zhang Xianzhong ordered the man to be killed and brought Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others over.
"Sir, what do you want from us?"
the four asked.
"Damn it! That Jiannu wants to persuade me to surrender, and wants me to kill four of you to show my sincerity, which makes me angry. Now you take your troops and horses and go to Jinzhou City with me to kill all Jiannu.
Kill them all!"
Zhang Xianzhong said angrily.
kindness!
"These slaves are so brave, they dare to threaten their superiors!"
"Damn it! These slaves should be killed!"
The four people immediately said angrily.
Then, he went to prepare the manpower. Obai himself did not expect that the two sides would not fight in the first place, but after he caused such a toss, the two sides were about to usher in a war.
Capital.
"Sir, that Zhang Xianzhong suddenly took his people to Ningyuan City, and he has been stationed there for a day, and there is no sign of going to war with Jiannu!"
A Jinyi guard knelt on the ground and reported to Lin Fan the situation on the front line.
"Damn it! This offer of loyalty doesn't mean that you really want to submit to those slaves. You shouldn't. This man has integrity. I believe in standing on his own. It would be a bit embarrassing to surrender to the slaves."
Lin Fan said to himself.
Lin Fan did not misunderstand Zhang Xianzhong, but he did not expect that half of the officials in the court would conspire with Zhang Xianzhong and ask him to cooperate with Jiannu.
"Sir, there are still a few members of Jin Yiwei staying in Ningyuan City. In a few days, there will be new news."
