"Who are you?" Di Sanpin, who was sleeping, suddenly felt heart palpitations. When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing quietly in the tent and asked in shock.
"Deng Ze, the envoy of the Imperial Guard." The visitor waved his hand to stop Di Sanpin, who was about to draw his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Marquis De'an should have heard of me."
Di Sanpin relaxed slightly: "I know you, the new celebrity next to His Highness the King of Shu. What is your purpose in coming to my camp? I have never dealt with Jin Yiwei."
Deng Ze smiled and said: "Isn't this a good deal? The official has come to convey His Highness the King of Shu's secret order. Can the Marquis put down the dagger in his hand?"
Di Sanpin's face did not change: "You say, leave after you say that. I don't trust you Jin Yiwei. If you don't say that you are sent by the king, I will have you killed."
Deng Ze didn't take it seriously: "The Marquis has misunderstood our Jinyi Guards. Without further ado, I will bring you a plan and an order..."
The next day, Feng Wanbao, who was absconding with the army, was captured. Feng Shuangli was furious and wanted to cut him into pieces on the spot. Di Sanpin begged again, but Feng Shuangli whipped him in the face, and the whole face was ripped open.
Di Sanpin acted as if nothing had happened and continued to hold Feng Shuangli's thigh and beg for mercy. All the generals felt sympathy and knelt down together. Feng Shuangli seemed a little shocked, so he whipped Feng Wanbao fiercely and left in anger.
"Master Marquis, are we still going to attack the city today?" A general looked at Feng Shuangli who was walking away and asked softly.
Di Sanpin supported Feng Wanbao and let the blood flow all over his face without wiping it off. He said in a hateful voice: "Aren't all your soldiers going to die? The prince is gone, so why attack the city?"
At the top of Zhenyuan City, Ji Xiha asked strangely: "There was no movement from the Ming army today?"
"Yes, Master. It seems that another person was punished by Feng Shuangli, and there has been no movement since then." Dahasu said respectfully.
Ji Xiha frowned in thought, the Ming army's offensive has not been strong these days, and Feng Shuangli has been punishing the general for several days in a row. "Feng Shuangli, are you such a hot-tempered and irritable person?" He didn't know much about Feng Shuangli, except that he had followed him since childhood.
Zhang Xianzhong rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and later followed Sun Kewang to join forces with the Ming Dynasty to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. He had a high status in the Western Camp, but little was known about Feng Shuangli.
One day without fighting, Feng Shuangli was drinking in the camp to soothe his sorrows, while Ji Xiha took the time to reorganize the city defenses and repair the city walls. Seeing this, the morale of the Ming army became even lower, and there were complaints and constant discussions in the camp.
"The prince forced us to attack the city a few days ago. Seeing that the Tatars could hardly hold on any longer, he just drank and had fun these past two days and allowed the Tatars to recuperate. Didn't this make the blood of our brothers shed in vain?"
"The lives of the adults are our lives. Aren't we, the big-headed soldiers, the mud-like things, driven by them?"
"They say the Tatars are cruel, but I think the Tatar officers care for their subordinates..."
"Nonsense! No matter how much the Tatars cherish their subordinates, they will not pity us Han people. Have you forgotten what the Tatars did in Yangzhou and Jiading?"
"...When will this world stabilize? If the Tatars can stop killing us Han people, why should we fight with them to death?"
"Your Majesty was pretty good to us in the past. I wonder what kind of stimulation he received this time?"
"I heard that the King of Shu forced the prince to capture Zhenyuan within ten days. The prince had no choice..."
"They say the King of Shu is kind and kind, but I think he is not as kind as Sun Kewang..."
There were various opinions and rumors spread. Di Sanpin and others, who had always strictly controlled military discipline, seemed to have disappeared and turned a blind eye to the commotion of the soldiers. Feng Shuangli was even drunk and fell asleep in broad daylight, abandoning the army.
.
That night, as soon as Jixiha lay down after a busy day, Dahasu woke him up.
"Di Sanpin sent his confidants here?" Jixiha said in surprise, "Bring them in."
"The villain, Di Lin, has met the general." The man who came in was in his early twenties and had a calm demeanor. He first showed his badge and then handed over a letter, "The villain is the captain of my general's personal army.
Order to come and deliver the message."
Ji Xiha nodded silently, took the letter and read it. "Your general wants to surrender?" Ji Xiha stared at Di Lin and said coldly.
Di Lin's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and said: "I don't know what the general said in the letter. The general only asked me to tell the general. If the general is interested, he will extinguish three torches at the top of the city at the fourth watch tonight.
After one stick of incense, light two more."
Jixiha nodded slightly, and after a moment, he told Dahasu: "Reward! Send him out of the city."
When Dahasu returned, Jixiha said again: "Ask all Niulu Zhangjing to come to the house to see me."
"Di Sanpin sent a secret message." Everyone sat down, and Ji Xiha got straight to the point, "Di Sanpin said that the Ming army could not attack Zhenyuan for a long time. Feng Shuangli became so angry that he drank heavily in the army and whipped the generals and fished the soldiers. The Ming army
The morale of the army is fluctuating, and Feng Shuangli already intends to withdraw his troops."
Everyone was overjoyed, the Ming army was about to retreat? This was great news. In the past few days, although the Ming army's offensive was not as strong as before, it still had a large number of people, numerous artillery and sophisticated equipment, and the Eight Banners still suffered heavy losses.
Ji Xiha coughed slightly and continued: "Di Sanpin said that Feng Shuangli had planned to use him as a scapegoat to get rid of his guilt and handed him over to Liu Wenxiu. In order to protect himself, he decided to surrender to me. As long as I tell the court
Recommend him as a marquis, and he will kill Feng Shuangli in battle as a gift of surrender."
"God bless the Qing Dynasty!"
"My master is overjoyed. Long live my Lord and I will be blessed with great blessings!"
Ji Xiha coughed lightly again, stopped his flattery, and asked in a deep voice: "I have called you here to discuss whether this matter is true or false?"
"Master, the morale of the Ming army has been low these days, and we have all seen it. Feng Shuangli whipped the general, and we saw it with our own eyes. This is definitely true. Master, this is a God-given opportunity, don't miss it."
"That's right, except for the first day, Feng Shuangli has never commanded a battle. Di Sanpin is a good general. He leads the weak and slaves are strong. It makes sense that Feng Shuangli wants to take advantage of the unfavorable situation in the war to attack Di Sanpin."
"Han people like to fight among themselves the most. This is not the first time this has happened. I don't think there is anything to doubt."
Ji Xiha nodded. He also felt that what Di Sanpin said was very consistent with what he had seen these days, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Di Sanpin wants our army to go out of the city to meet him after he attacks Feng Shuangli. What do you think?"
"Master, if Feng Shuangli really dies, the Ming army will be in chaos. How can we let go of such a golden opportunity?"
"Clean up the west gate city road and prepare the cavalry in advance. As soon as Feng Shuangli dies, we will rush out immediately. The Ming army suddenly lost its leader and was caught off guard. They will inevitably flee." Niu Lu Zhangjing who spoke licked his lips and said with a ferocious smile, "This hunter
Who can be more capable of a flock of sheep than an eagle on the grassland?"
Everyone laughed, as if they had seen themselves holding scimitars in their hands, cutting down the fleeing Han people one by one. The hasty expressions, heart-wrenching cries, and heads rolling down with the blade made them cold.
His blood was almost on fire.
Ji Xiha still shook his head: "In this case, our army will leave the city."
Dahasu suddenly said: "Master, according to the news from our secret sentry outside the city, there is no Ming army ambushing within twenty miles." He knew what Ji Xiha was worried about, so he reminded him.
"Bitter meat plan? Zhou Yu attacked Huang Gai?" Ji Xiha speculated on the possibility of the bitter meat plan. Huang Gai plotted against Cao Cao by leading his troops to surrender and setting fire to him. I won't let Di Sanpin's people enter the city, so he shouldn't be able to plot against Cao Cao.
Me. Lure me out of the city? Whether the Ming army is really in chaos, I can tell at a glance on the city. Fake defeat to lure the enemy? There is no Ming army ambushing within twenty miles, and no army can pretend to be defeated for twenty miles without it becoming true.
Defeated, if Feng Shuangli really planned to cheat twenty miles, then Ji Xiha would laugh even in his dreams.
"Could it be that the substitute faked his death?" Bo Dun, who had not said a word, suddenly said quietly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Let’s not talk about whether it is so easy to find a substitute, so cheating to death? Is the commander cheating to death to destabilize the morale of the army? Could it be that if the commander cheats to die, he can inform the whole army? Don’t let the soldiers know.
, the soldiers thought that Feng Shuangli was really dead, and there would definitely be chaos. Let the soldiers know that if the soldiers were indifferent to the death of their commander, it would obviously be a fraud.
Jixiha thought about it and felt that Bo Dun was too whimsical. The Qing Dynasty was at its peak, and Canming's life was not long. As long as Di Sanpin was not stupid, he should know what choice to make. "If you continue to cut off, you will suffer chaos." Jixiha
He said in a deep voice, "I will order Baiyin, Agula, and Gegen to each lead their headquarters at the west, east, and north gates to wait for orders. When I confirm that Feng Shuangli is dead, you will go out immediately. The rest of the people will follow me."
The officer then came out."
The generals accepted the order with a bang, and their morale was extremely high. When the Mongols left, Bodun said anxiously: "Sir, uncle, can I not go tomorrow? Leave me a Niulu, and I will guard Zhenyuan."
Ji Xiha was helpless. This kid was really timid to an unreasonable level. He didn't want to talk to Bo Dun. Do you want to go there if you like? You also want a Niu Lu to protect you? What a waste.
Jixiha looked unkind, and Bo Dun said: "Sir, the war is fierce and dangerous. I don't think you can go. If Di Sanpin sincerely surrenders, it won't affect the overall situation if you don't go. If Di Sanpin pretends to surrender, then you can go."
Isn't it just a meat bun beating a dog..." Seeing Jixiha's face getting darker and darker, Bo Dun changed his words and said: "Sir, the Han people said that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. Also, the Han people also said that the son of a rich man,
You can't sit down in the hall. You see, you are much more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold, right? We can let the Mongols do the war, so why put us Manchus in danger?"
Ji Xihamoran, don't say it, there is some truth in what this kid said. He snorted coldly: "Don't look at Han people's stuff anymore. No matter how Han people talk, the world will be taken away by us Manchus. You have read so many books.
, can you fight, do you dare to go into battle? Okay, after this battle is over, you go back to your Amana, and you will have to practice riding and shooting more in the future. This is the foundation of our Manchuria..."
Bo Dun nodded and accepted the instruction, but he kept complaining in his heart. Riding and shooting? Riding and shooting is so dangerous, but it is better to study, which is safer. This chapter has been completed!
