Chapter 594: Chen Yongfu Unconditionally Accepts the Adaptation!
To the west of Kaifeng City, at Baisha Town on the official road between Zhongmu County and Zhengzhou, Cao Ruohai's former enemy headquarters was located here.
After the troops left Yanzhou and recovered the big city of Kaifeng all the way to the west, the main task of the First Army was to recover Zhengzhou City! Baisha Town is located in the hub of official roads, and it has become the material center and command center supporting the front line. According to the plan
Said, in fact, the battle of Zhengzhou should have started long ago, but Bai Guangen from the Advisory Council came to the front line at this time. He tried his best to persuade Cao Ruohai to wait a moment. He was thinking of ways to persuade the defenders in Zhengzhou City.
Chen Yongfu presented the city. This delay passed in several days.
There has been a lot of rain in the Central Plains this year. Looking at the raindrops falling in front of the command post, Cao Ruohai was a little depressed as he ate the carp that the army chef had just prepared to accompany his noodles. He turned his attention to the face of Bai Guangen, who was accompanying him to the meal, and said:
"Uncle, Chen Yongfu hasn't made up his mind yet? Time waits for no one. Taiyuan City has been recovered in the direction of Shanxi. The army is rushing towards southern Shanxi. It won't take long to reach the edge of the Yellow River, ready to fight with me.
The army will join forces in Luoyang. Now there is intermittent rainfall in the Central Plains. Even if we successfully capture Zhengzhou City, it will be a problem to march towards Luoyang. We must increase our speed!"
When he said this, Cao Ruohai complained very much to Bai Guangen! This old boy's words were not reliable at all. He said that Chen Yongfu would accept surrender soon and the army would be able to enter Zhengzhou City without a single blow. It's better now.
After waiting for several days, there is still no confirmation from there. Isn't this just a joke?
"General Chen has been hesitant, which has really delayed the plan. I am also gullible. General Cao, please be patient. I will go to Zhengzhou City in person tomorrow to see what his plan is. If
If you are still hesitant, the general can just send troops! It’s just that he can’t grasp the situation clearly.” Bai Guangen blushed at Cao Ruohai’s question, and the fish in his mouth no longer tasted good. This time, he was tricked by Chen Yongfu.
No, I was thinking of relying on recruiting and surrendering to increase my presence and use some of my remaining heat, but if I didn’t do it this time, it would be a waste of time for the military aircraft!
The furious Bai Guangen planned to go to Zhengzhou City to question Chen Yongfu in person to see what he was hesitating about! The situation is so clear, do you still have time to hesitate?
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to go to the enemy-occupied area in person! I feel that there is no need to take this risk. If there is malicious intent over there and they detain me, we will be in trouble!
"
"Don't worry, General. If Chen Laohu doesn't even have this bottom line, it won't be unjust for him to die in Zhengzhou City. Then the army will just attack the city!" When Bai Guangen said this, his face turned pale with anger.
.This Cao Ruohai is really not a human being. He doesn’t think about me, Lao Bai, putting himself in danger. Instead, he thinks about whether it will delay the progress of the army. After all, I am also the earl of the Ming Dynasty, okay? Is it so worthless?
Watching the rain and eating fish, Chen Yongfu is doing the same thing at the General Military Mansion in Zhengzhou City. In terms of mood, he is worse than Bai Guangen and Cao Ruohai at this time!
"Father, the people sent by General Bai are impatient to wait. It's time for us to give them confirmation, and we can't delay it any longer." Chen Yongfu's son Chen Hu looked at his tasteless father and couldn't help but say.
Things got down to business.
"Hu'er, it's hard to make up your mind! You have fought for your father all your life, and you have sacrificed your life and death for the Ming Dynasty. But if you surrender now, you will lose power and power. The key is that you will become a traitor who betrayed the Ming Dynasty.
With what face do you live idle in the court?"
"Father, in the eyes of the court, we are all rebels and rebels! If we don't surrender, can we become loyal ministers? Our reputation will only get worse!"
"Alas! We have made many mistakes. We should not have followed Prince Zhou and Governor Gao to do such things in the first place. Even if we led troops to Beizhili, at this time, we might be like Ma Xu, and at worst we would be like
Tang Tong is the same as Bai Guangen and others. They are greedy for power and profit, and they harm others. Prince Zhou and Governor Gao are not successful people. Why didn't my father think about this in the first place?"
"Isn't it the reputation that my father is hesitating about now? It's the fear of betraying the kindness of Prince Zhou and Governor Gao! When a disaster is approaching, it's better for us to worry about our own family first. I guess they are also looking for a way out at this time. Wu Sangui fled without a fight.
, the gates of the Jin region are wide open, the Central Plains is facing enemies, and there are no available troops. Governor Sun’s reinforcements have not left Tongguan for a long time, so this battle cannot be fought at all!"
"That's all! Go and tell Xie San to come over and ask him to leave the city with General Bai's men early tomorrow morning and send a message to the generals of the imperial court. We, the Zhengzhou soldiers, are willing to accept the adaptation unconditionally and ask the imperial army to enter the city as soon as possible!"
"Father, what should we do with the civil servants in which city and the supervisory troops sent by Prince Zhou and Governor Chen?"
"Let the soldiers control those people and tell them the truth. If they want to go to Luoyang, send gifts out of the city. If they want to surrender with us, just wait until the imperial army accepts them."
Chen Yongfu has always been hesitant about surrendering. On the one hand, he cannot accept the complete loss of power. On the other hand, he is also worried about his friendship with King Zhou and Gao Mingheng. However, the situation is pressing, and at this time, he has no right to hesitate.
!
At dawn, Bai Guangen and his guards set off from Baisha Town and headed for Zhengzhou City. Cao Ruohai didn't give him much time. He had to use his last effort to see if he could reverse the development of the situation.
Because they were going to Zhengzhou City for negotiations, the entire team hoisted their flags so that they could pass through the battle zone between the two sides smoothly. By noon, they had already crossed the contact zone between the two sides, and the troops from the Zhengzhou direction stopped them midway.
Then they sent fast horses to the city and waited for the decision from above.
Not long after the horses left, a dozen cavalrymen came over, flying the flag of Chen Yongfu's General Military Corps. As soon as they saw Bai Guangen's motorcade, they galloped over.
"But Uncle Guang'an's car is driving? He is General Xie San of Mr. Chen's family. My general is going to Zhongmou to find Uncle!" The leader shouted loudly after seeing the convoy.
Talked.
Bai Guangen stood at the front of the car and glanced at the team. He saw that there were his own men in the team, and he knew that these people should be Chen Yongfu's cronies. He said, "Has your decision been made?"
"Uncle, there are many people talking, so please take a moment to speak."
Bai Guangen's laughter came from the car tent. Xie San brought the news he had always wanted. This matter was finally on the line!
"This uncle will send someone to send a message to Commander Cao and ask him to prepare for the acceptance. Xie San, please take me to Zhengzhou City quickly. Accepting the surrender is a big event. Your general soldier may not be able to handle it well in the city alone. I will go there and
