The red lady was relieved to see Liu Fangliang finally compromised.
She learned this trick from the little emperor, who forced those nobles to submit in this way.
I didn't expect it to be quite useful.
She also knew that Liu Fangliang did not surrender sincerely, but was forced by the situation, but what did it matter?
Wasn't it because she was forced to have no food and grass that she agreed to form a temporary alliance with the little emperor and enter the city.
As a result, I was left alone for two days.
So she decided to let Liu Fangliang also experience the feeling of being abandoned by his brothers.
As the gate opened wide, Liu Fangliang led a group of generals out of the city. The two sides who had just returned to the tense situation immediately greeted each other affectionately.
Although the red lady didn't bring much food this time, she brought a lot of wine and meat. As the big pots were set up, the atmosphere became more lively.
People from both sides went looking for acquaintances, and in a short period of time more than 100,000 people became involved.
In the large tent in the camp outside the city, dozens of generals from both sides also put their arms around each other and began to eat and drink.
"Brother Lei Ben, looking at your rosy face, you seem to be doing well. I heard that you guys came from the capital. Come on, tell me..."
"Haha, this capital city is so damn big, and the houses are so grand..."
Lei Ben, the number one general of the Red Lady, laughed and started to explain to everyone.
Liu Fangliang's generals were fascinated by what he heard.
When they heard that the emperor had rewarded Lei Ben with a house, three beauties, and the title of deputy general, everyone drooled with envy.
"Brother Lei, aren't the women rewarded by the emperor like gods?"
"Haha, do you need to say that? That face, that appearance, that tender skin can make you squeeze water, tsk tsk..." Lei Ben said while making obscene gestures.
After describing it, everyone was so excited that they slapped their thighs, drank heavily from the wine bowl, and then sighed sourly.
"Brother Lei is so lucky!"
"What's this?"
"Your Majesty has said that in the future, as long as you perform meritorious service, you will be rewarded with land, starting with a hundred acres, and even being granted a title."
Lei Ben took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, looked disdainful, and then smiled.
"But Brother Wang is right when he says that brothers have good fortunes. This guy just wants to be with the right person."
"For a veteran like Brother Wang, who has been in battle for a long time, as long as the commander of my family reports your deeds, according to His Majesty's magnanimous meritocracy, what kind of houses, beautiful women, and official positions, wouldn't they all be rewarded?"
"Oh? Can we also be rewarded?" Everyone's eyes lit up, they lowered their voices and stared straight at Lei Ben.
"Why not? Haven't we all surrendered to the imperial court now? We all have them, and you are definitely indispensable. It's just that His Majesty doesn't know you, so he wants my family's commander to recommend you. You also know that your Majesty and my family's commander are old acquaintances..."
"Brother Lei, tell me what kind of official position can be given to someone like my brother? Is there any house for a beautiful woman?"
"Brother Lei, what about people like me?"
For a while, the five or six people surrounding Lei Ben rushed to ask questions, and then secretly asked him for help in saying good things in front of the red lady.
And this scene happened almost everywhere in and outside the city.
The little bosses and the little bosses gathered together to drink and spank, and the elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers also gathered together to brag.
In just one day, the hearts of Liu Fangliang's 80,000 soldiers were shattered.
Senior military officers think about the red lady recommending them to be promoted to officials, houses, houses, and beauties. Small bosses, elite veterans, and ordinary soldiers think about military pay, land, houses, and wives.
When Liu Fangliang sobered up and realized it was too late, the Red Lady had drawn up the list of recommendations and was busy making rosters, counting elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers.
If Zhu Cihong sends others to surrender, even if he promises, these rebels will still have concerns, doubts, and disbelief.
But the people in Red Lady are also rebels who have just defected to the past, and most of them still know each other, and the examples are there, so Liu Fangliang's people can't believe it.
In addition, now that King Chuang has been defeated, people's hearts are floating, and there are many people who want to eat from the imperial court.
"Commander Hong, this is really a good trick. As expected, you have obtained the true legacy of the military advisor. In just one day, Liu became a lonely man."
Liu Fangliang looked at the red lady and smiled bitterly, but in his heart he wished he could cut the red lady into pieces.
"Brother Liu is laughing. In fact, the brothers themselves no longer want to live the life of wandering around. The younger sister just wants to find a good way out for the brothers."
The red lady sighed with emotion.
But when I saw him looking frustrated and helpless, I finally found a balance in my heart, not to mention feeling much more relaxed.
"Oh! Whatever!"
"From now on, as a brother, I have to rely on my younger brothers and sisters to speak kind words in front of His Majesty!" Liu Fangliang cupped his hands in a very low posture. He obviously knew that now he could only choose to truly submit to the imperial court.
"Haha, that's easy to say. My little sister told your majesty before she came that Brother Liu is a capable general in our rebel army. Your majesty has always cherished talents, and I believe he will only take on important tasks." The red lady waved her hand.
"Thank you very much, brother and sister, but I am really ashamed to be a general." Liu Fangliang hurriedly thanked him.
…
Two days later, the Jin Yiwei came to convey the order. Liu Fangliang's generals, big and small, were all rewarded, and ordinary soldiers and elite veterans were also given military pay.
"What, Your Majesty wants to summon the two of us back to Beijing?"
Liu Fangliang was obviously reluctant to go.
"Brother Liu, this is nothing to make a fuss about. Forget about other generals, you must go back to Beijing to express your gratitude." The red lady explained.
"That being said, it's just..." Liu Fangliang still had some doubts.
The red lady frowned and had to say again: "Brother Liu, how can your majesty be a villain like a thief? You are too unreasonable to worry about things. Let's do this. If your majesty really wants to punish you, I will fight to my death.
How about going forward and backward together with you?"
"All right!"
Liu Fangliang also knew that he had no choice. Seeing her say this, he could only nod helplessly. He still believed in the character of the red lady.
Immediately, the two of them made an explanation and headed towards Beijing with dozens of personal guards.
I rode fast all the way, and in just an hour I rushed from Tongzhou to Chaoyang Gate in the eastern suburbs of the capital.
Qianqing Palace.
"General Li Ying, please bow to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Liu Fangliang, the guilty general, comes to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Liu Fangliang also quickly followed the red lady and knelt down, her tone was quite nervous, and she only dared to peek at Zhu Cixi when she came in. She kept her head lowered the whole time.
"Ping Sheng, General Li has worked hard all the way. Come and give me a seat!"
"General Liu, please be fine. Now that you have surrendered, you will not care about your past affairs. From now on, you will serve the imperial court and I will have my own reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them quickly thanked her, and Liu Fangliang breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the red lady sitting on a small stool to one side, he was quite envious. At the same time, he was surprised that the little emperor thought so highly of her.
Then Zhu Cihong chatted with Liu Fangliang for a few words and then asked him to leave.
Then he sent all the eunuchs and maids away, and then said with a smile: "Haha, General Li has made great achievements this time, and I will definitely give him a good reward."
He couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't have high hopes at first. Who would have thought that this red lady not only really conquered Liu Fangliang, but also brought him into Beijing. It was really an unexpected surprise.
Especially at this stall.
"Your Majesty has given me the reward. It's all thanks to His Majesty's divine power!"
"Alas! How could General Li learn how to flatter those literati? This is not the red lady I know."
Zhu Cixi waved his hand, then changed his voice and said in a deep voice:
"General Li, if I kill Liu Fangliang now, are you sure you can control his 80,000 troops?"
