Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 159 Liu Wenxiu: I want to lead the crowd to surrender, who is for and who is against?

Liu Wenxiu was on the lookout car in the camp, seeing the paleness of the sky, her delicate face was still full of worry.

Under the watch car, Qi Sansheng, Li Bengao and other confidant generals under his command also gathered, also full of worries.

"General, the sky is about to dawn, make a decision quickly, or you will lose your chance!" Qi Sansheng persuaded again.

Liu Wenxiu looked at the city of Chengdu crouching like a giant beast in the north, and her brows became even tighter.

As the South Camp, he was the last to get the news about the accident in the North Camp last night—it was Li Dingguo who sent someone to report to him as soon as he got the relevant news, otherwise he would have gotten the news even later.

At first, Liu Wenxiu was going to do two things.

One is to send people to the Peking University Camp to support and inquire about detailed information.

The second is to see if you can take the opportunity to steal the southern city wall.

As a result, after he dispatched two thousand elite cavalry to encircle the Beida Camp from the outside, just as he was gathering elite infantry to leave the camp, three strange birds flew over from the north.

This strange bird is only the size of a human head, but each of them can cast a dazzling beam of light, and even shout repeatedly in the sky with a rather loud voice.

What he said shocked him.

It is said that Princess Kunxing is favored by the heavens and will revitalize Daming with great supernatural powers, and his adoptive father attacked Chengdu to oppose the princess, which is going against the sky, and has already been punished by the sky fire.

The strange bird hovered over the camp, playing these words repeatedly, and the blow to the morale of the army can be imagined.

The strange beam of light, the sound coming from the sky and other inconceivable features caused the camp roar to occur in the few camps outside the camp.

Fortunately, after he got the news from Li Dingguo, he immediately ordered a confidant general and a general of the elite battalion to guard the camp, otherwise there might be more camps where the camp screamed.

After that, the strange bird hovered and yelled for a while, although he left, he didn't dare to lead troops to steal the city anymore.

Not to mention whether the strange bird would have insight into his actions, even the soldiers below, after these things, the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom, and they are no longer suitable to go out to fight.

Later, after waiting for half an hour, the fine cavalry team he sent to support the North Camp returned, bringing more detailed and worse news.

A large-scale tsunami occurred in Beidaying.

There was a big fire before the old camp, and after the bombing of the camp, blood flowed into rivers.

As for Zhang Xianzhong, he was executed by Tianhuo in full view of everyone!

Later, the officers and soldiers came and not only occupied the old camp, but also took away Zhang Xianzhong's body.

In addition, Li Dingguo was also captured by the officers and soldiers.

Sun Kewang led some elites to flee westward, and the roar of the camp in the west camp spread all over the place, not much lighter than that in the north camp.

In the absence of Li Dingguo's auspices, the Dongdaying camp also had a notable camp tsunami incident.

Few of the generals guarding the camp were willing to contact them. Most of them had strange attitudes, and they were afraid that they had already thought of surrendering to the Chengdu government.

In Liu Wenxiu's memory, since Chongzhen 13 years ago, the team has never encountered such a dangerous situation.

If you add that Zhang Xianzhong's life and death are uncertain, it is not an exaggeration to say that this team has reached a critical moment.

Later Qi Sansheng saw that Liu Wenxiu still didn't respond, so he guessed, "The general is worried about that strange bird? Since that strange bird left, it hasn't come back.

The general felt that even if the officers and soldiers could invite the strange bird, they would have to pay a price, maybe they would have to sacrifice boys and girls or something.

Now those strange birds have only left for less than an hour, and they probably won't come back in a short time. This is the opportunity for me to leave the camp and leave! "

It turned out that the generals in the battalion also had great fear of the officers and soldiers because of the miraculousness of the strange bird and the fact that Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Tianhuo, so after they stabilized their respective camps, they all came to ask Liu Wenxiu to withdraw from the camp .

Liu Wenxiu, who was in the car, finally turned around and looked at the generals below.

Noticing the look of fear in everyone's eyes, he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Send me an order to pull out the camp and retreat to the east."

"Respect!"

All the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and then took orders to arrange the evacuation of the camp.

Pulling out the camp and evacuating is not an easy task. Even if part of the luggage is discarded, there are still some necessary things to bring.

For example, food and grass, gunpowder and arrows for combat, necessary items for marching and camping, herbs and so on.

Therefore, by the time the more than [-] soldiers of the Southern Day Camp had packed up and were about to formally evacuate, the sun had already jumped out from the east and filled the fertile fields and wilderness outside Chengdu.

Liu Wenxiu was still standing on the van looking at the city of Chengdu, and immediately noticed that there was a rider running from the direction of Chengdu.

In the middle, they were intercepted by their own cavalry sentries, and they almost fought, and then they each said something, and a few cavalry sentries brought the official cavalry to the camp.

'The government sent an envoy? '

Liu Wenxiu guessed the identity of this official cavalry, immediately got out of the lookout car, and led a group of personal soldiers to meet him.

Meeting the official rider outside the camp of the headquarters, and knowing that it was a messenger sent by the government, Liu Wenxiu carefully invited him to his tent.

The official cavalry was just a cavalry commander, and he didn't say much to Liu Wenxiu, he directly took out a letter: "This is a letter to General Zhang Wenxiu."

The soldiers took the letter and handed it to Liu Wenxiu.

When Liu Wenxiu took it apart and looked at it, his pupils shrank slightly.

He recognized at a glance that the letter was written by Li Dingguo himself, and Ainengqi's autograph was also attached.

The content of the letter made him both surprised and worried.

Li Dingguo said in his heart that his adoptive father was not dead, but he was severely burned and unconscious. He is currently receiving treatment at the Shu Palace in the city.

The government originally wanted to show the adoptive father to the public, but because the princess hoped to take over the soldiers and horses of the major battalions, so as not to cause more crimes, they agreed to save the adoptive father's life and treat him.

Therefore, both Li Dingguo and Ainengqi have surrendered to the government, and it is hoped that he can also lead the soldiers of the South Camp to surrender.

In addition, Li Dingguo also asked him in the letter not to disclose the news that his adoptive father was still alive, lest the soldiers in the camp have other thoughts and arouse the jealousy of the government.

In the end, another column was created, and eight characters were written alone - the adoptive father is in a hurry, return as soon as possible!
This is the end of the letter.

But Liu Wenxiu had a delicate mind, and it was easy to see a lot of unfinished meanings in the letter.

For example, what are the officials afraid of?
Isn't it because they are afraid that the generals of the Great Western Army will not sincerely surrender when their foster father is alive?

If so, the government may break the promise and kill the foster father.

In addition, the letter said that the adoptive father was receiving medical treatment in the Shu Palace, and I am afraid that there are more elements of imprisonment.

As for the last eight characters, Liu Wenxiu thought for a while and had a reliable guess.

He felt that it was probably because Li Dingguo and Ainengqi didn't trust the doctor the government had found, and hoped that he would surrender as soon as possible and take the doctor in the army to see the doctor for his adoptive father.

Thinking of this, Liu Wenxiu immediately recruited two confidant generals, Qi Sansheng and Li Bengao, into the tent, and asked, "I want to lead everyone back to the government, what do you think?"

Qi Sansheng thought of the official cavalry messenger who came to the camp earlier, and asked: "Dare to ask the general, but the government promised us an official position and promised to treat us favorably?"

Liu Wenxiu couldn't help taking a deep look at Qi Sansheng when he heard the words, and said, "Do you think that in this situation, the government still needs to rely on high-ranking officials and rich salary to recruit us?"

Embarrassed for a moment, Qi Sansheng argued, "The last general also hopes that the general and everyone else will have a good future."

Liu Wenxiu didn't say anything more to Qi Sansheng, and said directly: "You should know that the food and grass in the camp are only enough for four or five days, and when we came to Chengdu before, we basically scavenged all the food and grass along the way.

This evacuation, if there is no food and grass supplies on the way, the army can only collapse.

What's more, since the government and the army sent messengers to persuade us to surrender at this time, I am afraid that they have already known about our evacuation by some means.

If we still insist on leaving, the officers and soldiers only need to send out the strange birds like last night to intimidate and hunt them down. I am afraid that the army will be defeated as soon as it leaves the camp. "

Liu Wenxiu stopped here.

Qi Sansheng was still hesitating, so Li Bengao clasped his fists and said, "The final general is willing to obey the general's arrangement!"

Seeing this, Qi Sansheng didn't hesitate anymore, and said, "The last general is also willing to obey the arrangement!"

"Okay." Liu Wenxiu stood up, "I will send an order to summon other generals to the headquarters camp to discuss this matter, and if anyone refuses to comply, they will be killed on the spot. Do you understand?"

The two listened with solemn faces, and said in unison: "Understood!"

At the same time, Qi Sansheng broke out in a cold sweat—he understood why Liu Wenxiu had more soldiers inside and outside the tent than usual.

Thinking about it, if he said just now that he didn't want to surrender to the officers and soldiers, he would have died in his tent by now.

Thinking about this, Qi Sansheng knew how determined Liu Wenxiu was to return to the government, so he had no other distracting thoughts.

A quarter of an hour later, all the generals from other camps in the South Day Camp were called.

Liu Wenxiu first explained the shortage of food and grass in the camp, then stood on the lookout car and looked around at the generals, saying: "I want to lead the people to surrender to the Chengdu government, who is for and who is against?"

After speaking, Liu Wenxiu stared down with burning eyes.

Many of the generals here have rebelled for many years, so Liu Wenxiu thought that he had to kill a few people today in order to deter everyone and lead everyone to surrender.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, all the generals were quiet for a while, you look at me, I look at you, they clasped their fists together and said: "I am willing to return from the general to the government!"

Seeing that the generals agreed so simply and neatly, Liu Wenxiu didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a while.

However, this also shows from the side that it was indeed a wise move for him to agree to surrender to the government.

···
Shu Palace, Chengyun Palace.

Li Yan walked in with a smile on his face, saluted Auntie Zhu, and then said: "Your Highness, Zhang Wenxiu has agreed to lead the Southern Camp to surrender."

Although Auntie Zhu was somewhat surprised by this result, she was quite happy to hear it, and then asked, "Where is Zhang Kewang? Has there been any news yet?"

Li Yan said: "The courier did not find Zhang Kewang's men, but judging from the traces left by them, it should be that Zhang Kewang led tens of thousands of elites to detour eastward at dawn."

Aunt Zhu frowned when she heard the words, and asked, "What does Li Duli think Zhang Kewang wants to do?"

"Most likely they want to withdraw from Chengdu Mansion and return to Chongqing."

Although Zhu Yu knew about Sun Kewang's deeds from later generations and did not want to recruit this person, she knew that if he could recruit Sun Kewang, it would be easier to pacify Sichuan.

So he said: "Send a team of fast horses to chase him, and try to deliver Zhang Dingguo's letter to him."

"Yes."

Li Yan responded, saluted Aunt Zhu again, and left the Chengyun Hall.

Aunt Zhu then said to Fei Zhen'e: "Contact Flying Eagles and ask about the situation of the East and West camps. Then contact Hong Niangzi and ask about the situation of the North Camp's surrender."

After Fei Zhen'e heard this, she used the walkie-talkie to contact the two Flying Eagle teams monitoring the East and West camps.

Prior to this, Li Dingguo not only wrote personal letters to Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang to persuade them to surrender, but also wrote two letters to those generals in the eastern and western camps who were still holding on to their camps.

In terms of time, the remaining generals of the Great Western Army in the Eastern and Western Camps should have read Li Dingguo's letter of persuasion.

However, as to what decisions these generals of the Western Army will make, no matter whether it is Zhu Yu, Hao Guangming, Li Dingguo, or Ai Nengqi, they cannot be sure.
