Not daring to waste time, both of them quickly came to the front of the formation, and then sent people to negotiate with the opposite military formation.
The two sides summoned each other seven or eight times before agreeing on the negotiation method.
In order to avoid misjudgment and causing the situation to get out of control, only three people participated in the negotiation, and neither party involved anyone else.
The plan was quickly implemented. Yang Hongwen walked out of the military formation first, followed by the two people on the opposite side.
The military formations of both sides are two hundred meters apart, which means they have to walk one hundred meters forward, which is not too far.
After dozens of seconds, the three of them stopped. The distance between the two sides was only ten meters, not too far but not too close.
"Yang Hongwen, why did you kidnap Prince Ning?" Huan Dang asked first.
"You must also know that I went to Shu County a few days ago!"
"So what?" Zheng Zhouquan said coldly.
"Ten thousand Yong troops surrounded Rongcheng. They launched an attack five days ago and captured the city in half an hour..."
"How long do you think it will take to capture the city?"
"Half an hour!" Yang Hongwen said calmly.
"At this time, do you still want to joke?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Yang Hongwen asked.
Huan and the two were stunned. The next moment they thought of something, their expressions suddenly changed.
Seeing the two men looking thoughtful, Yang Hongwen continued: "Yong's army defeated the imperial court's 300,000 troops in two months. Compared with this... is it difficult for them to capture Rongcheng?"
"In that half hour, I saw with my own eyes... everything happened too fast. The defenders of Rongcheng had no power to resist, and they were attacked by the Yong army on the city wall, and then there was a one-sided massacre!"
Next, Yang Hongwen didn't mind the trouble and told him exactly what happened in Shu County.
"The Yong army that attacked Rongcheng only had 10,000 men, but King Yong had an army of 100,000 men!"
"With such military power, what can we use to fight?"
"It's all bullshit about the natural dangers of the river. If the rest of us really believe these nonsense, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive this year!"
After hearing what Yang Hongwen said, Huan, who had been silent for a long time, said: "So... you choose to jump back!"
Yang Hongwen said solemnly: "I just want to live, I don't want to see my brothers die!"
After taking a few steps back, Yang Hongwen continued: "I've finished speaking. How can I choose to let you go? If you want to beat me, I will accompany you. Prince Ning will never return it!"
The reason is actually very simple. If Huan and the others can't figure it out, Yang Hongwen feels there is no need to bother.
Ignoring Yang Hongwen, Juan said to Zheng Zhouquan beside him: "What do you think?"
Zheng Zhouquan said slowly: "Actually, I have always had doubts about this matter, but I was forced to have no choice but to take this path!"
Unexpectedly, Juan then asked: "So, is it too late to turn back now?"
Zheng Zhouquan nodded: "As long as we don't fight Yong Jun, it's still too late!"
Sighing, Huan said helplessly: "The Yong army is fierce, we can resist it, but we all have illusions!"
The southern gentry's persecution, coupled with King Ning's promise of huge profits, made them dizzy and boarded the pirate ship.
"Lao Yang... what to do next?"
The shouts from behind made Yang Hongwen stop and put a smile on his face.
A man is a man who knows the current affairs. It is obvious that these two people can see the situation clearly and know how to make a choice.
Turning around, Yang Hongwen said in a deep voice: "Suppress the rebellion!"
"All the Prince Ning's family will be arrested, and all the rebel gentry will be confiscated. As long as we are united, we won't be afraid of these people making trouble!"
Why were you afraid before? It was because you couldn't see a way out, and you weren't forced into a corner.
Continuing to "rebel" will inevitably lead to death, so how can they remain indifferent?
"Even if they raise an army and we can't defeat them, we can still ask for help from Yong's army. We won't be afraid that we won't be able to suppress these rebels!"
"Besides...the more they resist, the greater our credit will be!"
Although what Yang Hongwen said seemed unreliable, it also pointed out the direction for the two of them.
"Okay... let's do it!"
Seeing that the two men agreed, Yang Hongwen continued: "I have ordered that the army be purged of people with second thoughts. I suggest that you do this as soon as possible after you return!"
"Take care of these people so that you and I can lead the army with peace of mind!"
"We understand this!" Juan replied solemnly.
At this time, Yang Hongwen laughed, and he raised his hands to the two of them and said: "You two... from now on, we will still be ministers of the same palace, and we must take good care of each other!"
After some nonsense, the three of them separated.
Yang Hongwen had his own arrangement, and after Huan and the others returned to the military formation, they directly ordered the arrest of seven people.
These seven people were all born as officials and had close ties with the Jiangnan gentry. They were not their own people.
After beheading the seven men in public, the two envoys did not stay much, but left with their troops.
This move made all the soldiers wonder, shouldn't they save King Ning?
When the soldiers thought about the seven people who had been killed, they were immediately confused, and they were all holding it in their hearts at this moment.
Soldiers eat food and pay, and as long as these two things are guaranteed, they don't care what their superiors do.
Juan and his two men returned with their troops. Their main force was thirty miles away. This time they went back to clean up the interior, which would cause another bloody storm.
On the other hand, when Yang Hongwen returned with Prince Ning, the cleanup of his army had been completed.
I originally thought it would cause internal strife, but unexpectedly, I killed more than a hundred people in a row, but it did not cause large-scale riots.
This can also be seen how poor the cohesion of the entire army is. When such an army fights against the Yong Army, it is completely the result of an egg hitting a rock.
Liu Cheng came to Yang Hongwen, glanced at Zhao Yansong who was tied up by Wuhua Da, and said: "Sir, we have killed everyone who deserves to be killed. What should we do next?"
"Next, you pick a hundred people and escort Prince Ning to Rongcheng..."
"King Ning rebelled. Our army put down the rebellion according to the order. We captured Prince Ning alive and took him to Rongcheng. Please hand them over to King Yong for disposal!"
After getting off the horse, Yang Hongwen said more solemnly: "Tell the commander-in-chief of the Yong Army that I, the Lingbei Dusi...will be the loyal dog of His Highness King Yong!"
Hearing the last sentence, Liu Cheng felt uncomfortable with the game, and then said: "Loyal dog? Isn't it too low?"
After looking at this guy, Yang Hongwen said coldly: "I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to be a dog!"
For Zhao Yanxun, conquering the south was easy, and Yang Hongwen saw this clearly.
So he understood that it was not important to Zhao Yanxun whether people like him surrendered or not.
If people are determined to kill people and establish prestige, even if they are willing to be dogs, I'm afraid they won't have the chance to guard homes and homes, and they are more likely to be stewed directly.
Liu Cheng was not a fool. He understood Yang Hongwen's thoughts after a little thought, so he bowed and said, "I understand, I understand!"
"Also, tell General Yong Jun that Jiangxi Dusi He Nanhai Dusi is willing to obey the imperial order under my persuasion!"
Yang Hongwen will not give up any opportunity that can give him credit.
"yes!"
"No need to waste time, you can set off as soon as possible!"
It had been five days since Rongcheng was captured, and Yang Hongwen was really worried that Yong's army would kill him if the situation continued any longer.
But his worries were in vain, because the Yong army that was about to go south was still in the capital, and they were among the tens of thousands of people who had been newly upgraded.
At Yang Hongwen's urging, Liu Cheng took Prince Ning Zhao Yongshen on the road.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Yanxun looked haggard and depressed.
He was lifeless at the moment. Although his mouth was not gagged, he had not spoken for an hour.
Three hours ago, he was still a high-spirited king who vowed to regain his ancestral property, but now he has become a prisoner.
Looking through the window at the gloomy sky, Zhao Yongshen burst into tears.
