Yang Zhen finished these words unceremoniously, but he was a little worried that his performance was too much like a trap to trap and kill traitors, so when he said this, he paused for a while, and then explained:

"I don't understand the rules of titles you have. Prince Heshuo, Prince Duoluo, Duoluobele, Gushanbeizi, kings of foreign tribes, kings of Han people under their banners, etc.

Eight points, not eight points, etc.

"Once this governor accepts the princess and accepts the canonization in the future, he will become the fourth Han prince on your side. You must also ask carefully about the status of the Han prince on your side and what kind of existence he is."

Yang Zhen muttered a lot of names of titles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, which made Ban Zhifu also confused for a while.

In this era, not many outsiders knew clearly the various nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

Even middle- and lower-class traitors like Ban Zhifu, who had surrendered to the Qing Qing for a while, only knew the basics.

Even if you ask him to explain it, he can't understand it.

Therefore, after listening to Yang Zhen's explanation, he could only nod his head frequently to express his understanding.

"Well, Governor Yang, my prince has understood the meaning of what the governor said in the morning through the mouth of Jin Jia La - er, the mouth of General Jin Shen. I was ordered to visit you on the following night. I have an important message from my prince Zhishun.

Bring it to the governor."

"Come and listen."

Yang Zhen was almost impatient when it came to the game of recruiting and booby-trapping, because if he kept playing like this, it might really cause turmoil in the morale of his own army.

Originally, everyone followed Yang Zhen to attack the Zhenjiang Fort, determined to hit the Qinglu hinterland hard. However, after a long time of fighting, the Zhenjiang Fort was captured, but you, Yang Zhen, did some unexplainable things with the Qinglu overtly or covertly.

Unexplained transactions.

First you cut off all foreign aid, and then you sit back and watch Zhenjiang Castle being surrounded from all sides. At the same time, you strictly order the defenders in the city not to leave the city to attack the Qing camp. What on earth are you going to do?

Especially when Zhenjiang Fort was just captured, there were obviously so many people gathered, but later, they were sent out one after another, so that now there are only a mere ten thousand people left in the city. Is this intentional?

Of course no one under Yang Zhen would dare to say these nonsense, but Yang Zhen could not guarantee that no one would think so.

There is still enough food in the city and the morale is good. It may not be a big deal to play a game of surrender and booby-trap with the Qing army besieging the city, and at the same time ask the officers of the sentry battalions to do some ventilation and persuasion work.

But once this matter is delayed for a long time, it will inevitably be self-defeating.

Although he had no intention of surrendering to the Qing captives, he would be in trouble if his battalion sentry officers and lower-level soldiers mistook him for having such an intention.

Yang Zhen was thinking when he heard Ban Zhifu say: "The governor wants to see my prince. In fact, my prince also wants to meet with the governor. I am coming here this time to prepare a front for my prince Zhishun to meet with the governor. My prince

What I mean is that if the governor agrees, my prince can come to the city to see you at noon tomorrow."

"Come to town and see me?!"

"Exactly, but there are a few conditions that cannot be discussed in advance."

"Okay, okay, okay, please tell me and listen."

Yang Zhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to appear as calm as possible, but when he first heard that Shang Kexi was willing to come to the city to meet him, his heart was beating wildly.

When he was in Songshan City, when he learned that Huang Taiji intended to surrender, Yang Zhen thought of taking the opportunity to trap and kill several Qing Qing envoys or traitors who came to ask for surrender.

But the last envoys who entered the city to recruit surrender were Zu Zerun and Shen Yongzhong.

He couldn't kill either of these two people, so in the end he detained Shen Yongzhong and let Zu Zerun go, which was almost a waste of that opportunity.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, Huang Taiji still wanted to surrender to him, and he also called Shang Kexi, King Zhishun of Sanshun, to use his background in Dongjiang Town to come to surrender. This was really an eye-opener for God.

Fortunately, it was already midnight. Although there was ice and snow on the ground, the light and shadow on the top of the city were dim after all. Yang Zhen's expression of excitement that could not be suppressed was much concealed by the night.

The excitement in his tone was perfectly resolved because the biting cold at the top of the city made both of them's teeth chatter when they spoke.

"First, my prince is going to bring a few followers into the city around noon in public."

“This——, you keep talking!”

"Secondly, my prince is a prince after all. It is impossible for me to enter the city like this. I need you, Governor Yang, to open the inner and outer gates of Tangshanmen Wengcheng."

"Well, keep talking!"

"Third, my prince wants the governor to ensure his safety after entering the city. No matter what the outcome of the interview is, he must ensure his safety after entering the city and ensure his freedom of coming and going."

After Ban Zhifu said these words, he stared at Yang Zhen, watching Yang Zhen's reaction and waiting for Yang Zhen's answer.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath of the cold air at the top of the city, then slowly spit it out, considered it for a moment, and answered decisively:

"Okay, I agree."

"Captain——"

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, Zhang Chen and Li Lu, who were silent on the left and right behind Yang Zhen, almost simultaneously called "Captain", obviously they both had something to say.

"You don't need to say more, I agree to these points."

Yang Zhen probably knew what Zhang Chen and Li Lu wanted to say, but at this moment he had made up his mind.

Just as he took a deep breath, Yang Zhen already had his own plan.

Of course he knew that the conditions proposed by Shang Kexi for the meeting in the city contained a plan to further confuse the military morale in the city.

Shang Kexi and his party wanted to take this opportunity to publicly confirm their "crime" of having an affair with the Qing soldiers outside the city, and having secretly negotiated money with the Qing soldiers outside the city.

Whether he publicly entered the city in broad daylight or opened the inner and outer gates of the Wengcheng that had been blocked for a long time, it was all for this purpose. It was to allow Yang Zhen to mobilize as many troops as possible and make the defenders in the city aware of it as much as possible.

But Shang Kexi may not have thought that as long as he dared to enter the city, Yang Zhen would not worry that the conditions he required to meet would have any real adverse impact on him.

Because Yang Zhen has decided that as soon as Shang Kexi enters the city, he will be captured immediately, and then taken to the top of the city, beheaded in public, and killed the sacrificial flag.

As long as I do this, all the previous topics and doubts related to secretly negotiating surrender will disappear.

At that time, if you give the letter you have prepared to Huang Taiji to Shang Kexi's entourage to take back, you will definitely succeed in irritating Huang Taiji.

"Since the governor agrees, I won't stay any longer. Please order someone to put it in the lower city."

Ban Zhifu saw that Yang Zhen agreed to meet with King Zhishun and verbally agreed to the several requests he conveyed, so he was about to leave immediately.

Naturally, Yang Zhen has nothing more to say. Everything will be revealed tomorrow. If you have anything to say, you can say it then.

At that moment, Yang Zhen didn't say much. He raised his chin towards Jin Yukui, indicating that he would let Ban Zhifu go to the city, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Ban Zhifu suddenly said again: "Captain Yang, my prince wants the governor to guarantee the safety after entering the city. As for how to ensure it, after all, there is no basis for what he said. When he came down, my prince had not thought about it yet. Please ask the governor today."

Let’s think about how to ensure this in the evening. After thinking about it, we will talk about it tomorrow when my prince comes. Farewell!”

After Ban Zhifu said this, without waiting for Yang Zhen's reaction, he immediately turned around and walked towards the crenel where he came from.

Yang Zhen originally wanted to say something more, but when he finished speaking, he turned around and left. He took a deep breath of cold air to suppress the rising anger in his heart, and finally said no more.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Yukui led several followers to lower the hanging basket from the top of the city, and Ban Zhifu's figure quickly disappeared into the snowy fields to the west of the city.

"Captain, these rules and regulations that Ban Zhifu mentioned may not have been thought up by that bastard Shang Kexi. Before the Governor arrived, I got some words out of Ban Zhifu's mouth——"

Jin Yukui sent Ban Zhifu down to the top of the city, immediately turned around and returned to Yang Zhen, who was watching Ban Zhifu leave quickly, and told him what he had learned from Ban Zhifu before.

"Although he refused to tell the truth, he could guess from his humble position that Huang Taiji, the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty, had a bachelor named Fan Wencheng next to him. He was probably giving Shang Kexi advice!"

"What did you say?!"

Regarding the information that Jin Yukui suddenly provided, Yang Zhen was first surprised, and then overjoyed.

"Are you saying that these requests made by Shang Kexi might be Fan Wencheng's idea?! That Fan Wencheng was also involved in this matter?!"

Jin Yukui was stunned when he saw Yang Zhen reacting so strongly to what he said. Then he tightened his shearling military coat tightly and nodded to confirm:

"That's right, that Fan Wencheng was the chief counselor of the three palaces in front of the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was the best at guessing people's hearts and the best at conspiracies. According to Ban Zhifu, the one who insisted on asking him to come to knock on the city during the day was not Shang.

The good news is that this is Fan Wencheng.

"What the governor thought was that it would be best to keep it quiet, but what they thought was that in order to disrupt our military morale, it would be best to make it known to everyone. Just now, Ban Zhifu proposed the arrangement for Shang Kexi to enter the city during the day. I think it must be

It was Fan Wencheng’s idea again!”

"Um."

After hearing what Jin Yukui said, Yang Zhen thought about the later records about Fan Wencheng in the history books, hummed, and agreed with his statement.

"So, General Jin Shen, based on your many years of experience under Shang Kexi, do you think the idea of ​​going to the city for an interview will be a good idea for Shang Kexi?"

As for what Ban Zhifu said about Shang Kexi going to the city to interview him, although Yang Zhen really hoped that Shang Kexi would do this, after thinking about it, he still found it a bit unbelievable and couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen.

"It can't be Shang Kexi's own idea. With his humble understanding of Shang Kexi, he would never put himself in danger like this. On the contrary, sending Ban Zhifu or other subordinates here is Shang Kexi's consistent approach."

Faced with Yang Zhen's question, Jin Yukui's answer was categorical, directly denying this possibility.

"To be honest, I don't know why Shang Kexi did this. Unless this was the arrangement of Huang Taiji, the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or it was Fan Wencheng's idea, otherwise there is no explanation at all."

After hearing Jin Yukui's answer, Yang Zhen nodded first, then shook his head, and then said to several people gathered around him:

"It doesn't matter whose idea it is, or what crooked ideas he will come up with tomorrow, there are only a few hours left, and we will know at noon tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
