Zhu Yuanzhang has left, and there are not many elite soldiers and generals left. Zhang Ximeng and Feng Guoshang only have two thousand households.
With this small number of troops, Gaoyou could not be surrounded no matter what, and Zhang Shicheng could even fight his way out with a single effort.
But Zhang Ximeng had to put on a big show and dig a hole for Zhang Shicheng.
"Commander Feng, I would like to trouble you to hold up the air and mobilize the surrender troops, but make sure no mistakes are made. Otherwise, we will escape back to Yangzhou in embarrassment."
Feng Guoyong smiled, "I will be careful, sir. I heard that Mr. Shi is a great talent. Are you sure?"
Zhang Ximeng thought about it, and it’s really hard to say. In terms of writing ability, even people from the Ming Dynasty felt that Three Kingdoms was far inferior to Water Margin.
But it's hard to say how much better Shi Naian is than Luo Guanzhong.
"Anyway, I'll do my best!"
Feng Guo used it, mobilized troops and horses, marched in formation in the camp, practiced drills, and created the illusion of preparing to attack the city... However, 90% of these people were captured Yuan troops. If there was a fight, they would probably only be like Zhang Ximeng.
As he said, he had no choice but to run for his life.
So if you want to deceive Shi Naian, you have to show 100% of your acting skills.
Zhang Ximeng sat upright, thinking about how to start. Not long after, Shi Naian came in.
When he saw Zhang Ximeng, he was stunned. He had to say that Zhang Ximeng was too young. How could he be twenty years old? He was much younger than his apprentice.
It's not that Shi Naian looks down on young people, but can he make the decision?
"What? You still want to see the commander-in-chief?" Zhang Ximeng sneered, "Your Prince Cheng has done a good job! He suddenly killed the benefactor who rescued the siege, and plotted with bows and arrows! Is he a prince, or a villain? Are you planning to talk,
Still want to rob? Why doesn’t Zhang Shicheng come and apologize in person for something that is not worthy of publicity?”
Zhang Ximeng was the first to question the crime, which immediately dispelled Shi Naian's doubts. If this man couldn't make the decision, he wouldn't be so arrogant!
He quickly said: "Sir, please forgive me. It is indeed not King Cheng's intention to shoot General Zhu with an arrow."
"Isn't that what Zhang Shicheng means? That's Zhang Shixin who is following Zhang Shicheng. Go and pick up Zhang Shixin's head, and then we can talk."
Now Shi Naian can no longer be punished.
"Well, um...General Zhang has been punished and his arm was shot through. Please forgive him for the sake of being a fellow Red Turban Rebel, right?"
"Both are red scarves?"
Zhang Ximeng sneered and said: "How did I hear that your King Cheng doesn't admit that he is a red scarf? He still thinks that he has a strong army and wants to talk to us based on his strength. Is he worthy?"
Shi Naian was helpless. It was indeed their fault first. What was even worse was that not only were they wrong, but their skills were inferior to others. They were beaten to pieces and their lives were hanging by a thread.
Since I came here to seek peace, I naturally had to be much more humble.
"His Royal Highness Prince Cheng already knows that a moment of recklessness has caused a misunderstanding. He is willing to shake hands with your army and make peace, and... he is also willing to express his sincerity. If your army has any requests, just ask them."
"Request?" Zhang Ximeng said: "Didn't my lord say that he would discuss with Zhang Shicheng to deal with Yuan Ting together, but how did Zhang Shicheng treat my lord?"
Shi Naian's face turned red and he became more and more ashamed. Don't say anything, it was all Zhang Shicheng's fault. After the siege, he felt invincible and no one cared about him. This was his bad luck!
However, when Zhang Ximeng mentioned the fight against the Yuan Dynasty, Shi Naian seemed to sense an opportunity and immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has already said that the Yuan Dynasty has sinned deeply, harmed the people, is incompetent, and should be destroyed. He, he is willing to fight with General Zhu
Let’s fight against Yuan together, I’m willing!”
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "It's easy to say. Didn't Zhang Shicheng still seek refuge with the Yuan Dynasty and want to be a loyal minister and good general for the Yuan Dynasty?"
Once again, Zhang Ximeng was caught off guard, and Zhang Shicheng's face was completely blurred. Shi Naian had no choice but to explain to Zhang Ximeng again and again that this time King Cheng was different, he was really fighting against the Yuan Dynasty.
, we can learn from it every day!
"Stop talking nonsense, let Zhang Shicheng immediately order the entire army, tell everyone, explain his intentions, and be willing to sincerely cooperate with my lord to fight the Yuan Dynasty together. Furthermore, let him send Tuotuo's confidant Gong Bosui over!"
"ah!"
Shi Naian was shocked. This Gong Bosui was the first captured by Zhang Shicheng after the Yuan army was defeated.
Gong Bosui was Tuotuo's confidant. He was familiar with all the situations of the Yuan army and could be called a living guiding light.
Moreover, Tuotuo realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was his biggest enemy, and Gong Bosui also knew it. Remembering Tuotuo's kindness in knowing him, he actually wanted to help Zhang Shicheng, so that one day he could use Zhang Shicheng's hand to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Gong Bosui could be said to have devoted all his efforts to Zhang Shicheng. He was able to successfully recruit and surrender tens of thousands of people, which was related to Gong Bosui.
However, Zhang Ximeng wanted Zhang Shicheng to hand him over. Wouldn't this mean cutting off Zhang Shicheng's hands and feet?
"What did you say, sir? I have no idea who this Gong Bosui is?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ximeng laughed, "Mr. Shi, you don't have to pretend to be stupid. I know the details of the Yuan army better than you... To tell you the truth, I have two more important people than Gong Bosui.
, can you guess it?"
Shi Naian grinned bitterly, is it interesting to tease Menzi at this time?
More important than Gong Bosui, and there are two of them!
"First, Tamerlane is in your hands first?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Is there another one?"
"Also... that person who knows the Privy Council, Xuexue is also here?"
Shi Naian's voice was trembling a little.
When he found Zhang Ximeng nodding with a smile, Shi Naian was completely speechless.
They indeed underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang and had no idea how powerful Zhu Jiajun was.
First, Timur and Xuexue were not only defeated, but also captured.
With these two people around, Zhu Jiajun's understanding of Yuan Ting was indeed terrifying, and Gong Bosui probably couldn't be saved.
"I, I will ask His Highness Prince Cheng for advice when I get back. If it is indeed available, I, I will be willing to send it over."
Gu/span> "Yeah!" Zhang Ximeng nodded, this attitude is pretty much the same. But there is a more important thing next.
"Mr. Shi, since Zhang Shicheng is willing to join forces with our lord, we must discuss military expenditures. How much should both parties contribute?"
"This?" Shi Naian grinned, "Both of us, we just have to do our best and work together to deal with Yuan Ting."
Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Mr. Shi, according to what you said, Zhang Shicheng doesn't have to bear any responsibility for offending our lord? Now he is trapped in Gaoyou and is about to be destroyed. For his life, there is no need to pay? Since you guys don't have any responsibility
If you don’t have any sincerity, then you can only order an attack on the city!”
"This..." Shi Naian was sweating on his forehead. If he really came to kill him, how could he explain to King Cheng?
"Sir, if you have any suggestions, you can just give me your instructions."
Zhang Ximeng then said: "In this case, we will arrange the personnel and establish the Salt Affairs Department. All the Huai salt revenue will be the military expenditures of both of us. We will account for 70% and you will account for 30%."
"Ah...only, only 30%?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Too much? Then we can divide it into 19%!"
Shi Naian immediately vomited blood. This young man was young, but his heart was really dark, but there was nothing he could do.
"I, I want to see General Zhu." Shi Naian said: "For such a big matter, it seems that I should ask General Zhu to speak directly, so as not to misunderstand the meaning."
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "You can't be wrong. I will write you a letter and you take it to Zhang Shicheng. After he reads it, he will know what to do."
Zhang Ximeng turned around, took out a letter, and handed it to Shi Naian. It was sealed with fire paint and Shi Naian could not open it.
After much deliberation, the only option was to return to Gaoyou first.
Frankly speaking, although it was not satisfactory, after all, we still met and talked without starting a direct war. I was finally able to give an explanation to His Highness Prince Cheng.
Shi Naian returned to Gaoyou in embarrassment.
Zhang Ximeng had already gone to see Feng Guoyong and immediately ordered the soldiers to step up their training.
Then Zhang Ximeng gave Feng Guoyong an idea. He tied some branches to the horse's tail, and then ran around the military camp to create the feeling of flying dust, as if the Zhu Jiajun was going to attack Gaoyou at any time.
What else can Feng Guoyong say, cum, I’ve already made you cum!
At this moment, Zhang Shicheng in the city had a burning brow and was extremely anxious, turning back and forth on the ground.
When I saw Shi Naian coming back, it was like I had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Sir, you are back, what should you say over there...?" Zhang Shicheng was really worried, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree to surrender and would fight to the death, then he would not know how it would end.
"Your Highness, I want you to agree to join forces to fight against the Yuan Dynasty..."
"Okay! I agree!"
Before Shi Naian could explain, Zhang Shicheng agreed immediately.
Instead, Shi Naian was caught off guard. How could such a big thing be so careless?
Zhang Shicheng, on the other hand, didn't care, "It's just words. Anyway, let's get over this difficulty first."
Shi Naian was speechless. He always felt that Commander Cao was not good enough. This matter involved too much. If Zhang Shicheng was unwilling to send troops to deal with Yuan Ting in the future, he would become a capricious villain. How could he command the world?
However, Zhang Shicheng didn't care and asked: "Are there any other conditions?"
"Yes, they want His Highness to tell everyone about his intention to unite against the Yuan Dynasty, and they want His Highness to hand over Gong Bosui."
Zhang Shicheng hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, who gave them thick arms and strong strength!"
"The other thing is to let us give up the Huaiyan salt."
"What?" Zhang Shicheng asked in shock: "What are they going to do?"
"We need to establish a Salt Affairs Department and divide accounts into 37 accounts."
"What, just leave me 70%? The guy named Zhu is too greedy!" Zhang Shicheng was shocked. He would give up everything else, but he couldn't be careless about money! He had been in business for half his life, and he never missed anything!
Shi Naian grinned bitterly, "Then, 70% of that belongs to others, only 30% is given to His Highness!"
Snapped!
Zhang Shicheng was furious!
I worked hard to organize the kitchen households to cook salt, but 70% of it was given to people named Zhu. I only got 30%. Didn’t I become a beggar? Or a kneeling one!
"No, absolutely not, I won't agree!"
Shi Naian had no choice but to hand Zhang Ximeng's heart to Zhang Shicheng. After unfolding, the content was not complicated. There was only one sentence: How can you dare to fight if your weapons are blunt and your soldiers are tired?
The translation is: The sword is not sharp and the horse is too thin, what are you going to fight with me for?
Zhang Shicheng sat down on the chair, his eyes flashed, and he was panting... This king has been watched all over!
Shi Naian came over and when he saw these words, his blood pressure soared and his face turned red.
"Your Highness, he, they bullied others too much, I will argue with them again!"
At this moment, there were sudden footsteps outside. Zhang Shide ran in with a panicked expression and immediately reported that Zhu Jiajun had pulled out no less than a hundred artillery pieces and was preparing to attack the city!
Zhang Shicheng was stunned and speechless, and could only sigh sadly: "I, I already agreed and it's not enough!"
