Zheng Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Stop crying. I want to make my mother smile. Is it too late for you to do it now?"
Li Nong wiped away his tears and said: "Brother, tell me the truth. If I surrender to Commander Chen, will the court hold me accountable for my past crimes?"
"It depends on what you are guilty of?"
Li Nong was silent for a moment and said: "I told you before that I surrendered in the Battle of Fuping, but I actually lied to you. I also participated in the Battle of Fuping. Of course, I did not go to the front line. I was a logistics force for the Jin soldiers. I
I also participated in most of the battles where the Jin soldiers captured the Shaanxi Road, and participated in the siege and plundering of the city. I was the first to enter the city when I captured Jingzhao City. I was afraid that the imperial court would not tolerate me!"
Zheng Ping thought for a while and said: "Actually, I think you have two choices. The first option is that you surrender to the court as a commander and keep all your resume intact. I don't know whether the court will hold you accountable in the future.
The second option is to surrender to my commander. Commander Chen has the advantage that he likes to use the Battle of Fuping as a cutting line. The previous events have nothing to do with him. He ignores and doesn't care, so he assumes that you were involved in the Battle of Fuping.
Surrender, the past things will be completely cut off. The advantage is that you can wash away all the past events. The disadvantage is that you have no qualifications and cannot be a high-ranking official. At best, you can start as a commander, just like me. "
Li Nong said without hesitation: "I was the commander when I surrendered to the Jin soldiers. Just think that I have had a nightmare in the past few years and I am back to where I started. I am willing to surrender to Commander Chen."
.........
That night, Wang Hao once again rushed to the Wucheng Town Inn in the name of buying wine. Although the fighting at Dashan Pass was fierce, the monk was still calm. He ate and drank when he should. It was normal for generals to drink secretly.
But this time Wang Hao took a little risk and brought a personal letter from Li Nong.
But Wang Hao never expected that he would meet the commander Chen Qing at the Wucheng Town Inn.
"For your humble position, please see the commander!" Wang Hao knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Chen Qing was also very happy to see Wang Hao this time. He quickly asked him to sit down and asked, "How is it? How is Fatty Zheng doing in your family?"
A feeling of intimacy arose in Wang Hao's heart, and he also smiled and said: "He is still the commander, but his status has been slightly improved, ranking fifth."
"Can he fully control all five thousand of his men?"
"No problem, the main generals are all our brothers."
Chen Qing frowned slightly. He was a little worried. Zheng Ping's former subordinates were all ordinary soldiers. There were only two generals. These people became the commanders and commanders of the CCP Army. Now let him and the others go back to being ordinary soldiers.
, are they willing? This is the saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
If they knew they were going to take action, would they tell Jin Bing?
Chen Qing told Wang Hao his concerns and asked him to go back and remind Zheng Ping of this problem.
Chen Qing asked again: "Have you ever shot arrows at the top of Dashanguan City?"
Wang Hao quickly shook his head and denied, "Our army has been in Monk Plains and has not been transferred to Dashan Pass. How could we send an archery message to the city? Besides, if we want to contact Dashan Pass, we will send a pigeon message through the Wucheng Town Inn.
One day is enough to go to the Immortal Pass and then to the Dashan Pass. It is impossible to take this risk."
It seems that Jin Bing is indeed up to something and wants to impersonate Zheng Ping to trick the Song army into leaving the city.
"Commander Qi, there is another important matter."
Wang Hao took out Li Nong's letter and handed it to Chen Qing, and then recounted Li Nong's life experience.
Chen Qing did not express his position immediately. He paced back and forth and pondered for a long time.
Li Nong's surrender was expected by Chen Qing, but Li Nong's surrender also meant that the risk was gradually getting out of control, and Chen Qing realized that it could not be delayed any longer.
He immediately said to Wang Hao: "Four days later, that is, on the night of the second day of February, from the second watch to the fifth watch, we will coordinate the internal and external coordination. General Zheng will be responsible for lighting up the Jurchens' warehouse camp to see if there is any problem."
Wang Hao quickly said: "We have been preparing for this task for a long time. Although there are ten thousand Jurchen troops in the camp, and the warehouse is under their care, and the Xie Congjun is strictly prohibited from approaching the warehouse, as long as it can create chaos, if the commander attacks the camp from outside, in
In the midst of chaos, we will definitely have a chance."
Chen Qing nodded, "I know what to do. Go back and tell General Zheng. This matter will be kept secret. We will tell the relevant generals on the night of the operation. We must not leak it early."
"I humbly obey orders!"
Chen Qing then pointed to Li Nong's letter and said: "Tell Fatty Zheng what I told him before he left and why I sent him instead of Yang Yuanqing to carry out this task. Let him think about it carefully."
Chen Qing immediately wrote three letters, two confidential letters to Zheng Ping, in which Chen Qing wrote down the various implementation steps on the second day of February, and asked Zheng Ping to strictly implement the plan in the letter. The third letter was written to Zheng Ping.
Wu Jie, told Wu Jie that they would take action in early February, and asked Wu Jie to make judgments based on experience and not to leave the city easily to pursue.
...........
On the last day of January, it began to rain lightly. The night was filled with mist and rain, and the needle-like drizzle moistened the land of Guanzhong.
In the monk's original Jinbing camp, counselor Fan Gong was giving advice to Wanyan Wushu, "Your Majesty, Wu Jie will definitely doubt Jian Xin, but it's not important. As long as we make the Song army realize that they can leave the city to pursue, we will achieve the goal."
The purpose is set, the key now is to determine the time, which depends on Chen Qing’s arrangements.”
Wanyan Wushu squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you know where Chen Qing is hiding now?"
"We don't know yet. In fact, it doesn't matter where he is hiding. I believe he will definitely come to our door. That's our chance. Before that, we must use the trick. Your Majesty, our goal is not only to kill Chen
Qing, and more importantly, we must use Chen Qing to seize Dashan Pass."
"Is there any news from the Xiecongjun camp?" Wanyan Wushu asked again.
"I guess there will be news tonight!"
As soon as Fan Gong said this, a soldier walked in quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.
Fan Gong laughed and said, "I was right, the news that the prince wanted has arrived."
"Go and meet him! Report to me later."
Fan Gong left in a hurry. Wanyan Wushu stood in front of the tent and looked at Dashan Pass in the distance. It had been more than half a month since the attack on Dashan Pass. Fifty thousand Jurchen soldiers had been killed, and Dashan Pass still could not be captured.
, Fu Xuan, who had secretly communicated with him before, has also disappeared. It is said that he has completely lost control of the army.
Wanyan Wushu knew it well, and if he continued to fight like this for half a year, he would still be unable to win the Great Sanguan.
If he couldn't conquer the key points with force, he could only use trickery. Fortunately, he had made full preparations before. Chen Qing would be his key to unlocking the Great San Pass, so he refused to work hard to encircle and suppress Chen Qing, and finally let Chen Qing
Running away, isn't that what he expected?
Fan Gong is right. After you have tasted big fish and meat, how can you go back to eat chaffy vegetables? Once you become a commander and commander, how can you go back to be a soldier? This is human nature, but it is a pity that Chen Qing did not think of this.
.
Not long after, Fan Gong came back in a hurry. Wanyan Wushu asked with a smile: "What did he say?"
"He said that Zheng Hui's men had secretly met with Chen Qing yesterday. The operation time is scheduled for the second day of February, which can be from the second watch to the fifth watch. At that time, Chen Qing will launch an attack on the outside."
"Is this time reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable, it was arranged by Chen Qing in his handwritten letter!"
Wanyan Wushu nodded. If it was a written arrangement, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"So what do we do?"
"I have three suggestions for you. First, don't make any special arrangements. Keep everything as usual, especially Zheng Hui. This person is very alert and can easily spot flaws.
Second, the prince must strictly keep this matter a secret and must not leak it, otherwise people will talk too much and we will fall short of our success.
Third, the city at Dashan Pass will be attacked normally, and the prince will even go to supervise the battle in person. On the night of the second day of February, the prince will launch a thunderous operation to capture Zheng Hui and Chen Qing, and then pretend to burn the camp. The fire will be huge.
It will give the Song army the illusion that the camp has been completely burned down, and the prince will retreat in panic again, giving Wu Jie the opportunity to recapture Monk Yuan, and then Xigu will send out surprise troops again, and Dasanguan will definitely be successful."
Wanyan Wushu laughed proudly, "Well, a certain family will accompany Chen Qing to put on a good show, and this Fatty Zheng, he is so sentimental, does he think that a certain family really values him?"
