Three days later, early in the morning, Liu Hai summoned the generals and arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
The heavy generals stood on both sides, with Liu Hai sitting in the middle.
Liu Hai first asked Xiao Kun, who was standing in the middle of the group, "How did you do with the things I asked you to do a few days ago?"
When Xiao Kun heard Liu Haidong's question, he quickly stood up and said: "To return to the master, I have arranged for Xizuo to spread rumors in Taiyuan City, saying that Zhang Zhidong is ready to surrender today. Now Zhang Zhidong's Self-Strengthening Army has
The morale of the military is in turmoil.”
After hearing this, Liu Hai smiled and nodded, then waved his hand for Xiao Kun to retreat. After that, he said to the generals standing below: "Zhang Zhidong is preparing to surrender today. What do you think?"
The instructors below are all experienced in the battlefield and are very familiar with these routines.
Therefore, Liu Zhi, Liu Hai's number one general, immediately stood up and said: "Commander, don't look at Zhang Zhidong, there is fraud in it."
"Oh, tell me what you think."
"Zhang Zhidong only said that he presented the city to surrender, but did not mention the arrangements for his army, nor did he disarm the army, nor did he ask the army to leave the city and relocate elsewhere. Isn't this a lie? What is it?"
After hearing this, Liu Hai was noncommittal and asked the others: "What Liu Zhi said is just a statement. Do you have any other opinions?"
The other generals looked at each other, and most of them agreed with Liu Zhi's opinion.
After all, they are ready to surrender, but the troops in the city have not been mobilized. This is not a good thing.
When Liu Hai saw that all the generals thought Zhang Zhidong was deceitful, he sat in the middle and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, even you guys can't be fooled by Zhang Zhidong's plan, how can you fool me?"
Looking at Liu Hai's expression, the generals understood that Liu Hai had discovered that Zhang Zhidong was pretending to surrender.
Liu Hai then said: "Since Zhang Zhidong has this idea, I will use his plan to let him steal the chicken but lose the rice, and let us capture Taiyuan without using swords and guns."
After Liu Hai finished speaking, he suddenly became serious and began to give orders to the generals below.
"Where is Ye Faguang?"
"The end will be here."
"Among our group, you are the most experienced in commanding mechanized troops. I order you to lead 50 tanks and follow behind the large army. As soon as I give the order, we will immediately attack with tanks to seize the city gate."
"The last general honors his order."
Liu Hai nodded, and then ordered Lu Chun: "You lead your 30,000 troops, bypass Taiyuan City and go to the west city of Taiyuan City to ambush. If the Self-Strengthening Army escapes from the west city, you will intercept them there."
"The last general honors his order."
"Okay, everyone else will prepare on their own, so I'm going to go meet Zhang Zhidong for a while."
But at this time, Liu Zhi stood up, raised his hands and said: "Commander, it may be dangerous for you to go in person, so it is better to let the general do it for you."
Liu Hai shook his head and said: "Zhang Zhidong is not a fool and can't see my face. How dare he open the city gate?"
However, Liu Hai looked at the worried eyes of the generals below and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have already prepared."
After Liu Hai finished speaking, he clapped his hands and immediately someone walked in from outside the tent.
As soon as this man entered the big tent, he frightened all the generals in the tent.
It turns out that at first glance, this person does look a bit like bangs. In addition, the clothes he is wearing are top-notch. If you are unfamiliar with him, you really can't tell the difference between him and bangs.
This man entered the tent and bowed to Liu Hai first, then stood obediently at the end of the generals.
Liu Hai smiled and said: "How is it? Are you relieved now?"
Only now did Liu Zhi understand that Liu Hai was very concerned about his safety and did not need to be reminded by them at all.
It turns out that this person is a biochemical person specially prepared by Liu Hai a few days ago.
Although Liu Hai can make this biochemical man look exactly like himself, Liu Hai still has a deliberate intention to only make this biochemical man look 60-70% similar to himself.
At this moment, a soldier from outside came in to report.
"Commander, the gate of Taiyuan City has been opened. Zhang Zhidong and the ministers of civil and military affairs are waiting outside the gate."
Liu Hai smiled after hearing this, and then said: "In that case, you should each prepare for a while, and we will go and meet for a while, this is the last pillar of the Queen Mother Lafayette."
After saying that, Liu Hai left the tent and went to the back to change his clothes.
The other generals who had orders also hurried forward to carry out the orders, and those who did not have orders had already made arrangements. The soldiers beside them were ready to protect Liu Hai for a while.
Just like this, another hour passed before Liu Hai came out of the back tent again. At this time, he saw that he had removed his first-class official uniform and changed into the appearance of an ordinary soldier.
Since Liu Hai was not a good-looking person, he now put on the uniform of a soldier and followed the crowd of soldiers of these generals. No one could see through his secrets.
After the bangs came out, he nodded to the person pretending to be himself.
The man suddenly entered the state. He trembled, and a majesty immediately spread out from him. Then he coughed to the generals and said: "Everyone, I went to see Mr. Zhang."
.”
The other generals looked at this man and felt weird for a while. To be honest, he really looked like him.
If everyone didn't know that he was a stand-in, and that the long bangs were not completely imaginary, everyone would have thought that the person in front of them was the bangs.
So the fake Liu Hai got on his horse at the gate of the camp, and then, escorted by generals and elite soldiers with thousands of gold coins, marched toward the gate of Taiyuan City in a mighty manner.
At this time, Zhang Zhidong, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, was already extremely anxious.
Now Zhang Zhidong has been feeling anxious. Could it be that Liu Hai has figured out his plan and won't come? If that's the case, that would be really troublesome.
Just when Zhang Zhidong was extremely anxious, suddenly a burst of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and then he saw a large group of people coming this way.
After the pair of men and horses appeared in front of them, a group of fast horses left and quickly came towards Zhang Zhidong.
When the people arrived in front of Zhang Zhidong, they immediately looked at Zhang Zhidong and his group and saw that they were fine. Then they got off their horses and raised their hands to Zhang Zhidong and said, "Master Zhang, our commander will be here soon."
It's coming, so hurry up and get ready to welcome it."
After hearing these words, Zhang Zhidong finally felt at ease in his stomach, "This little brother, I understand."
After the soldier informed Zhang Zhidong, he remounted his horse and went back to report to Liu Hai.
Zhang Zhidong quickly straightened his clothes at this time, then winked at the three officials beside him, then led everyone to the roadside, knelt down on the ground, and waited for Liu Hai to come.
They didn't wait long before they saw a large group of people arriving in front of them.
Then there was a young man with an ordinary appearance but a majestic appearance. He got off his horse and walked straight towards Zhang Zhidong.
Zhao Fengchang, who was following Zhang Zhidong, glanced at the young man who came, and then gently reminded Zhang Zhidong: "Sir, Duke Wu Guo is here."
Zhang Zhidong frowned at first when he heard this title, and then acted as if nothing had happened.
When the man in front of him came to Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Zhidong bowed hurriedly and deeply, and then said: "The guilty minister Zhang Zhidong, please kowtow to Duke Wu."
After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground.
Where did "Liang Hai" come from? When he saw Zhang Zhidong kowtow to him at such an old age, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
At this moment, Zhang Zhidong suddenly grabbed "Liang Hai"'s arm with both hands, and the three people kneeling behind Zhang Zhidong suddenly stood up and threw "Liu Hai" to the ground.
Although "Liang Hai" struggled desperately, he was outnumbered and was quickly subdued by them.
The Qing soldiers and guards following Liu Hai seemed to have just reacted at this time. They swarmed up and surrounded Zhang Zhidong and the others with their rifles raised.
The leader, Liu Zhi, took a few steps forward, pointed at Zhang Zhidong and asked sternly: "Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? Let our commander go quickly, otherwise I will let you all go to the west."
At this time, Zhang Zhidong stopped pretending. He stood up, patted the dirt on himself, and then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha, now that your master is in my hands, retreat quickly if you have the sense, otherwise I will make his head fall to the ground."
Now Zhang Zhidong can be said to be extremely excited. His plan has finally come true. As long as he holds Liu Hai, those people in his hands will not dare to attack again. As time goes by, those people under him will not dare to attack again.
Arrogant soldiers and strong generals must have their own ideas. By then, Liu Hai's Hunan Army will become a piece of scattered sand.
After hearing Zhang Zhidong's words, Liu Zhi was so angry that his eyes were on fire, "Old thief Zhang, it's in vain that you are a second-ranked Jinshi and a scholar, but you actually do such a dirty thing."
At this time, Zhang Zhidong stroked his beard and said loudly: "I am worthy of heaven and earth. What if I sacrifice my personal reputation for the sake of the imperial court and the people of the world?"
Zhang Zhidong's words immediately left Liu Zhidong speechless.
It was indeed what Zhang Zhidong said. In the eyes of people on Zhang Zhidong's side, his action was entirely about defeating the enemy with wisdom and turning the tide.
Just when Zhang Zhidong was about to suppress his "bangs" and return to Taiyuan City.
Suddenly, I saw a huge cloud of dust in the distance, and a roaring sound broke through the sky.
After that, Zhang Zhidong saw dozens of monsters flying in the distance. These things ran on land as if they were flying, and quickly approached this side.
Then, before Zhang Zhidong issued an order to stop the monster, these steel monsters had already broken through the crowd, crashed directly into the city gate, and took control of the east gate of Taiyuan City.
Then the thousands of people following Liu Zhi and others swarmed forward. Some of them tightly controlled Zhang Zhidong and others in the middle, while others followed the tanks and rushed into the city gate.
Zhang Zhidong was a little anxious when he saw this situation. He immediately took out a revolver from his arms and pressed it against "Bangs"'s forehead.
"You don't want your commander's life anymore? If you have the sense, retreat immediately, otherwise I will kill him now."
At this moment, someone behind Liu Zhi and the others suddenly laughed loudly.
"Haha, why is Mr. Zhang so heartless? Liu Hai is polite here."
