After visiting the Fushunguan transaction venue, Zhu Yiliu took Wang Xianggan, Li Chengliang and others back to Liaoyang.

On the way back to Liaoyang, Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang wanted to ask the emperor whether the purpose of coming to Fushun Pass was achieved?

It seemed that they were just asking Li Yongfang a few questions, but they didn't know how to speak.

It was not until he was about to arrive in Liaoyang City that Li Chengliang couldn't help but speak, but he didn't ask directly at the beginning: "Does Your Majesty want to transfer the guerrilla general Li Yongfang to the capital to serve?"

Zhu Yili nodded: "I have this consideration."

Then Li Chengliang asked: "Does Your Majesty think the purpose of going to Fushun Pass this time has been achieved?"

"It's achieved it." Zhu Yiliu was directly asked, "Do you really want to know why I suddenly went to Fushunguan to see Li Yongfang?"

Both Li Chengliang and Wang Xianggan nodded.

"Then you answer the question I asked Li Yongfang first. That is, when the enemy is invading, even though they know that they are outnumbered and cannot defend themselves, should they insist on fighting to the end, and would rather destroy the city and die in the city, or to endure the surrender of the enemy by thousands of troops?"

"Actually, when His Majesty asked General Li Yongfang, I already had the answer in my heart." Li Chengliang replied, "As a soldier, of course, I will not surrender, otherwise I am not worthy of being called a soldier."

"But I cannot watch the people die tragically. If the people are not afraid of death and are willing to defend the city with me, then let them come; if I don't want to, knowing that I can't defend, I will let them out of the city first, even if I surrender to the enemy, after all, they have no obligation to defend the city. Then I will resist with other soldiers and the people who are willing to defend the city, and live and die with the city."

Wang Xianggan said excitedly: "Although I am not a soldier, I thought of going with General Li. This is also my true thought."

"Heroes have similar views." Li Chengliang smiled.

Then the two of them turned their eyes to Zhu Yili at the same time.

"It's a pity that Li Yongfang didn't expect it." Zhu Yili sighed, "You all thought of asking the opinions of the people in the city and asking them if they would like to stick with you. Li Yongfang seemed to have no awareness. In his eyes, in order not to let the soldiers and the people suffer, even if he was criticized, he should ask the opinions of the soldiers and the people."

"But how did Your Majesty know General Li's thoughts?" Wang Xianggan said in surprise, "Didn't he say he was in a dilemma at that time, so he didn't know how to make a decision?"

"Isn't this obvious? How dare he say surrender in front of me? But he is inclined to surrender, otherwise why would he be so embarrassed to make a decision?"

In history, after Li Yongfang opened the city gate and surrendered, he indeed saved the lives of the people in Fushun City, but all of them were moved to Hetuara City.

I don’t know what the people at that time thought, whether they were willing to move to a foreign land or were willing to stick to it? This is unknown, but Zhu Yiliu felt that he should ask, what if they were willing to stick to it? When the Qing army reached Jiangnan, the people in many places were willing to guard the city with their soldiers.

It is true that life is precious, but many people are not afraid of death and believe that there is something more important in the world than life - this is the integrity of the Chinese nation.

Li Yongfang may have underestimated the local people.

Of course, the truth of history is unknown. No one knows what Li Yongfang thought when he surrendered in history. Perhaps it is impossible to think that the Ming Dynasty has become so bad that it is hopeless.

Anyway, he doesn't have this opportunity now.

Wang Xianggan said cautiously again: "It's just Your Majesty, will it be possible to transfer General Li on this ground?"

"Do you think I can decide General Li's future just by asking two questions. Is this unreasonable or unfair?" Zhu Yiliu asked bluntly.

"No, it's just a reason... If General Li knew about it, he might be dissatisfied."

"The location of Fushun Pass in Liaodong is extremely important. It must be strong and loyal to our generals who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I believe that General Li has a beautiful mentality, but he is not in charge of the army. I should take him back to the capital to be an official."

"You guys quickly find a guerrilla general."

Wang Xianggan had nothing to say about Zhu Yili's decision because he knew and had experienced the emperor's extremely "vicious" vision, and the accuracy of people was beyond the reach of others.

But although Li Chengliang didn't say anything, he felt quite complaining in his heart. After all, Li Yongfang was promoted by him in his hometown. If guessing is used as a reason to transfer Li Yongfang to the position, it seems that it is not sufficient.

But since the emperor had made a decision, he could not say anything. Li Yongfang did not answer the question the emperor asked.

Besides, he very much agreed with what the emperor said just now that guarding the border requires a strong willpower and absolutely loyal to the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

If you are weak or too kind, it is indeed not appropriate to guard the border. When a strong enemy attacks, it is easy to surrender softly.

However, Li Chengliang still couldn't help but asked weakly: "So, Your Majesty is not satisfied with Li Yongfang's guerrilla general?"

Zhu Yili shook his head and said, "It's not a question. I just think that everyone has different personalities and different fields of expertise. People should give their own talents and do what they are best at. There are many wars on the border, especially at a hub like Fushun, which is easy to have wars. Li Yongfang may not be suitable for guarding there, but is more suitable for going to a peaceful place to become an official."

Then, I added: "I believe in his ability and I believe that he will do something great."

Oh, Li Chengliang felt a little relieved, otherwise he would have thought that his vision of people was so clumsy. Anyway, he thought Li Yongfang was very flexible.

...

After Zhu Yili and his group left Fushun, Li Yongfang's heart could not calm down for a long time.

Because he has never been able to guess what the emperor intended to come to his mansion?

He also asked him if he would like to be an official in the capital. Do he really want to transfer him to the capital?

Before this, he didn't dare to think about it.

But he really couldn't figure it out. Is the emperor satisfied with him or not? I didn't figure it out at that time, but still didn't figure it out afterwards.

Moreover, he was still thinking about the question the emperor asked him, how should he answer it to be perfect? ​​Which choice does the emperor prefer?

When a strong enemy attacks, even though he knows that he cannot defend himself, if he resists resolutely, he will face the disaster of massacre. Should he open the city gate and surrender or continue to resist stubbornly?

Anyway, he found it difficult.

I don't know what others think.

In order to get a more perfect answer, Li Yongfang decided to summon all the soldiers in Fushun City and let them express their opinions one by one. What would they choose if they were guerrilla generals in Fushun City?

At this time, he thought of asking for opinions, but he still did not think of asking the people of Fushun City.
