There was no need for anyone else to introduce him. Shang Kexi, who was at the bottom of the city, could tell at a glance who was Yang Zhen on the top of the city.

And Yang Zhen naturally knew which one of the people in the city was Shang Kexi.

Shang Kexi, King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty, wears a black fur hat and a black mink cloak. He is tall and looks majestic and majestic while riding a tall horse.

"There is no rush to enter the city. Since I am here, I am not in a hurry to enter the city for a while!"

It was indeed windy outside the city, and the cold wind was whistling in and out with scattered snow, making the flags on the city head roar, but Shang Kexi didn't care at all. His words made Yang Zhen curse in his heart.

Seeing that the prey had reached the edge of the trap, but refused to jump in, Yang Zhen was naturally anxious and angry.

However, it was useless to be anxious. Shang Kexi waved his hand and the whole team stopped outside the outer gate of Wengcheng.

"As the saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Although Shang and Governor Shang are from Dongjiang, there was no fatal friendship before today. Therefore, Governor Yang, please be considerate of Shang.

Before entering the city, I have a small unkind request, please accept it from the Governor!"

Shang Kexi sat on the horse, looked at the city head, looked left and right, and then said these words to Yang Zhen.

"Haha, it's reasonable, it's reasonable. If I, Yang Zhen, go to see you on your territory, Prince Shang, I'm afraid I have to make some demands before I dare to go!"

Faced with Shang Kexi's statement, Yang Zhen acted very reasonable. Although he didn't know what specific request he wanted to make, he still responded from the perspective of empathy.

"Prince Shang, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask for them. I will try my best to satisfy you as much as I can. Of course, if you feel that going to the city to discuss it in detail may not be good for you, we can also meet like this.

"Haha, in broad daylight, the sky is bright, I will be with you in the same city, outside the city, on top of the city, and below the city. No contact, no whispering, so that no one will accuse me of treason and surrender to the enemy in the future!"

Yang Zhen said this openly and nonchalantly. Shang Ke, who was hesitating at the gate of the city, was stunned for a moment, and the doubts in his heart were relieved again.

"Well -, haha, it's not that serious. And some words are not enough for outsiders. Before Mr. Shang enters the city, I just want to ask Governor Yang to swear an oath in public to ensure the safety of Mr. Shang and his followers! This is all

A little, isn’t it difficult to do?”

"I see, Prince Shang, you are worrying too much. I can swear an oath in public right now!"

Yang Zhen originally thought that Shang Kexi would ask for a hostage exchange, but now that he heard that Shang Kexi's request was just to make an oath in public, his tense mood suddenly relaxed, and then he raised his fingers to the sky and said solemnly:

"The sky is above and the earth is below, as all the soldiers guarding Zhenjiang Fort can testify. Prince Shang and his followers entered the city today to discuss matters regarding the truce between them.

"When the two countries are at war, it is an ancient etiquette not to kill the envoys. This governor swears to God that he will treat each other with courtesy and will never take this opportunity to do anything disadvantageous to Prince Shang and his party. If you violate this oath,

God is disgusted with it, and humans and gods will kill it!"

The ancients took such vows very seriously.

Especially for a general of an army to swear an oath to heaven in public, it is a very serious matter.

Once you break your promise, keep your word, fail to keep your promise, or trample on your oath, the consequences will be very serious.

If you are small, you will break your trust and become a villain who will not keep your word. From then on, you will be despised and looked down upon by others.

At worst, he will be blamed by heaven, or he will be considered to be guilty by heaven, and he will no longer be able to give orders to his subordinates in a dignified way.

Therefore, keeping promises and keeping promises is the foundation of the ancients, especially the generals in the ancient army. They will not make promises easily.

But once you make a promise, you will easily not dare to break the oath and promise.

However, Yang Zhen is not an ancient person, and he does not have such taboos in his heart, especially when dealing with enemies, he does not care about oaths or oaths.

For him, being brave in war itself includes lies and deception when dealing with enemies.

Making a promise is also a method that can be used in the fight against the enemy.

Which of the thirty-six strategies is not full of lies and deception against the enemy?

Especially for someone like Shang Kexi, even if Yang Zhen violated his oath and killed him with his own hands, he would never believe that the Chinese god of heaven and earth would convict him.

"Hahahaha, okay, Governor Yang is so refreshing! If that's the case, what else can I say?"

Shang Kexi, who had been staring at Yang Zhen's oath immediately outside the city, laughed after hearing what Yang Zhen said, his wariness was gone, and then turned around and ordered:

"Let's go and follow this king into the city!"

After saying this, Shang Kexi clamped his horse's belly, urged the horse, and led the servants, letting Ban Zhifu lead the way toward the city gate.

When Yang Zhen saw this, he knew that his prey was walking into a trap, and he felt ecstatic.

It wasn't until he saw the last knight of Shang Kexi's group entering the city gate that Yang Zhen stopped suppressing his inner emotions and shouted loudly into the urn:

"Zhang Chen, please greet Prince Zhishun and his party!"

"Got the order!"

Zhang Chen's mood was much the same as Yang Zhen's. Seeing his prey entering the trap, his heart was equally agitated.

At that moment, he heard Yang Zhen's order, responded immediately, and then ordered the left and right to close the outer gate of Wengcheng without saying a word.

In the city gate at this moment, there were two tents of elite musketeers lined up beside Zhang Chen, who had been following Zhang Chen's orders.

When they heard the order, they immediately took action, exerting force on both sides, and with a creak, they slammed the heavy iron-clad wooden door in the city gate.

The sudden loud sound of closing the city gate came from behind, naturally disturbing Shang Kexi and others who were riding forward.

"What's going on?! Why are the city gates closed?! Tell them to reopen the city gates!"

The inner city gate in front is still open, but the outer city gate in the back is closed. This situation is a bit strange and makes Shang Kexi suspicious and confused.

Although he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he felt that Yang Zhen had no reason to be like this.

Besides, Yang Zhen had just sworn an oath, and now the words are still ringing in his ears. How could he break his promise so quickly?

However, just when Shang Kexi stopped and looked back hesitantly, at the other end behind them, two door bolts as heavy as beams were quickly placed behind the two closed heavy doors.

"What are you doing?! Take off the bolt and open the city gate! - Quick, take off the bolt and open the city gate!"

Shang Ke was pleased to see that all the bolts and beams of the city gate were in use, and he suddenly panicked. He shouted orders and turned his horse's head on the spot.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The guards following him heard his order, and at the same time found that it was difficult to turn around on horseback inside the city gate. They immediately dismounted, drew their swords, turned around and shouted to seize the door.

However, Zhang Chen, who had already closed the city gate, had no intention of being polite at this time. He directly raised his musket and opened fire with a bang at the guard and entourage of Shang Kexi who was running at the front.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

After Zhang Chen opened fire, the two musketeers surrounding him naturally pulled the triggers without ceremony and fired the modified flintlock Lumi guns in their hands.

There is not much space in the city gate. Shang Kexi and his party are in front, and the musketeers led by Zhang Chen are behind. They are not far apart from each other.

The farthest is the distance from one end of the city gate to the other, and the closest distance between the enemy and ourselves is almost face-to-face distance.

Zhang Chen's most forward musketeer held a flint-haired Lumi gun and bayonet that was almost pressed against the chests of Shang Kexi's guards who turned to seize the door.

So there was a burst of intensive gunshots, and screams and screams broke out in the city gate cave.

When the smoke cleared a little, Shang Ke was happy that among the dozen or so people in his party, only the four people who had ridden out of the outer gate and entered the Wengcheng on horseback were left intact.

"Yang Zhen! Yang Zhen! You little brat, why did you break your promise and kill my subordinates?! You, the majestic general of the Ming Dynasty, Jin Haibo, the commander-in-chief of Zuo, just made an oath to heaven. Now the words are still ringing in your ears. You are going to break your promise and break your promise."

In the world?!"

The sudden change in the city gate behind him made Shang Kexi panic and confused. He was frightened and angry in his heart. Seeing his carefully selected personal followers falling to the ground one by one, moaning and wailing, he couldn't help but raise his head and rush towards the city.

scold.

At the same time, Shang Kexi's ominous premonition grew stronger.

But for a moment, he couldn't figure out whether the behavior of the Ming army at the city gate in front of him was intentional because of Yang Zhen's instructions, or whether it was an accidental misfire caused by his own order to turn around and seize the door.

Therefore, he still held on to the slightest illusion and did not order to continue to seize the door. Instead, he rode his horse around the city, pointed at the city head and yelled at Yang Zhen, reminding Yang Zhen not to betray his faith.

Of course, at this point, even if he ordered to continue seizing the gate, there was no chance to seize the city gate and rush out of the city.

Because after the gunfire sounded in the city gate, the musketeers who were cleaning up the debris in the urn city and the inner city gate had already abandoned their disguises, picked up muskets from the debris pile in front of them, and shot the muskets in the urn city.

The remaining people from Shang Kexi and his party were surrounded.

On top of the entire city surrounding Wengcheng, a large number of musketeers suddenly appeared. The muzzles of hundreds of muskets were all aimed at Shang Kexi and others in Wengcheng.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At this moment, Yang Zhen saw that the prey had completely fallen into his control, and that the plan he had planned for so long was about to be completed, and he no longer had to suppress his feelings.

Hearing Shang Ke's joyful and angry questions, Yang Zhen first responded to Shang Ke's joyful questions with a long and joyful laugh. Then he appeared on the wall of the inner city gate and said loudly and condescendingly:

"Calling me, Yang Zhen, treacherous? What a big joke! You are happy to betray Dongjiang, join a foreign race, shave your hair and braid it, and become an ugly captive. What qualifications do you have to say the word "faithful" in front of me?!"

After saying these words, Yang Zhen was also afraid that the soldiers on and off the city would be deceived by what Shang Kexi said, so he looked around and said loudly:

"Commanders of all regiments and camps of the Eastern Expedition Army, listen up! Today the Governor of Japan has a message for you - Faithfulness is the way for people to get along with each other. All members of our race, brothers and sisters, should regard faith as the basis for everything.

Heavy.

"However, the barbarians, Di, and barbarians are not of my race. Judging from what they do, they are just animals. It is not unkind to kill animals, it is not unjust to seize them, and it is untrustworthy not to lure them. All officers and men can remember this saying, then
