Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 232: No Rabbit, No Eagle

Xiangyang.

Pan Shiliang, who governed Yunyang, had to stay in Xiangyang because Yunyang was still in the hands of the Ming army.Early in the morning, Pan Shiliang was awakened by the pacesetters, "Brother Wang Guangen secretly asked to surrender?"

Hurrying to the front hall, General Yang Wenfu, Deputy General Qi Shangyou and others have already arrived.

"Why is Hua Guansuo suddenly willing to surrender?"

Pan Shiliang stared at the map, a little surprised.Ever since he came to Huguang, he has been planning how to take down Yunyang, a hard bone, but he can use both soft and hard tactics, but those guys in Yunyang just don't want to be soft and hard.He originally wanted to start with Wang Guangen, after all, this person was originally a traitor, who knew that this person killed several envoys in a row, and after that, he was never willing to persuade him to surrender.

Pan Shiliang gave up on the idea of ​​surrendering, and was all about preparing to trap these guys to death with a long-term blockade.

"I heard that Yunyang had just had an internal strife. Wang Bin and Wang Guangen of the Xunyang Zuoqi Battalion fought over a woman. They fought over food before. This time, Wang Bin simply fled with his men and ran to the Fang County in the south has occupied the city, gathered thousands of troops, and is declaring that they will fight back to Yunyang and kill the three Wang brothers."

"And Zhu Yubian, the army of Yunyang, also blamed Wang Guangen, counted his crimes, and took his post as commander in chief, demoted him to a guerrilla, and charged him with twenty army sticks. If Gao Doushu and Xu Qiyuan hadn't protected him, Zhu Yubian to kill him."

Pan Shiliang was very excited when he heard that.

"This old man Zhu Yubian knows that when Li Zicheng went north, he left Lu Yingbiao and Feng Yangzhu to lead [-] troops to attack Yunyang. Stabbed to death by Feng Yangzhu, the two armies fought and the siege of Yunyang was over."

Pan Shiliang is a Yanzhou fellow of King Lu who is now known as the supervisor of the country in eastern Zhejiang. He was a Jinshi in the Wanli year and served as a Jiangxi censor and Su Song inspector. , Dali Qing, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, etc.

The Qing army went south and surrendered.He was recommended by King Aoyong of Shandong, who had previously served as the governor of Yunyang, to serve as governor of Yunyang.However, this Yunyang governance is not good. When Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo and traveled across the Central Plains, he once almost captured the entire Huguang. Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Wuchang and other important towns were taken, but Yunyang could not.

When the Qing army went south, it was also unsuccessful in recruiting and persuading surrender. If he wanted to secure the position of governor of Yunyang, he had to win Yunyang first.

But Azige, Wu Sangui and others have already returned to court.

The governor of Huguang, Tong Yanghe, has received another order and is about to leave office. The new governor is Luo Xiujin, the former governor of Henan, who was ordered to governor of Huguang, Sichuan, but he has not yet taken office.

Tong Yanghe is now busy packing up and returning to Beijing, and Luo Xiujin is still in charge of handing over in Henan. For a while, Huguang has neither soldiers nor officials. He, the governor of Xunyang, can only stay in Xiangyang temporarily, but his subordinates have no How many soldiers and horses, just a few thousand troops recruited and surrendered to form a new green battalion, even Wu Sangui never took it down, what can he do.

"Recently, I heard that the remnants of the Shun bandits have returned to the north and fled into Jiangbei. At this time, Yunyang is actually fighting among himself. God help me."

"Futai, beware of fraud!" Yun Xiangdao Li Zhigang reminded.

Pan Shiliang was also in a hurry to go to the doctor because of his illness, and Yun Yang couldn't take it under the urgent urging from above. His caregiver might have to be replaced at any time.

This is his first errand after he was surrendered, he must do it well and do it well.

He glanced at Li Zhigang, and was very dissatisfied with this guy, "Li Daotai is about to have suspicions, so I will send you to go there personally, to meet the Wang brothers in secret, to find out."

Li Zhigang was stunned.

······
Three days later, Li Zhigang returned to Xiangyang from Yunyang along the Han River.

Although he was reluctant when he went this trip, he still had a smile on his face when he came back. The brothers from the Wang family gave him a large bag of gold and silver as soon as they met, worth several thousand taels of silver.

"Futai, Brother Wang Guangen is willing to surrender. Not only is he willing to surrender, he is even willing to sacrifice Yunyang to surrender. He is willing to be an internal response. Please go to Futai to meet him."

As he spoke, he presented the gold and silver that Wang Guangen brothers had given to Pan Shiliang, worth 5000 taels of silver.

"He hopes that after the matter is completed, he will still be given the post of commander-in-chief, and his two brothers will each seek a lieutenant general."

Pan Shiliang looked at the gold and silver and was very satisfied.

"Li Daotai has worked hard, a great achievement."

This time it was Yang Wenfu's turn to suspect fraud, "Fuyuan, this is too smooth, beware of fraud."

Yang Wenfu was the deputy commander-in-chief of Xiangyang, with the title of commander-in-chief, but he was only a registered commander. He was originally from the peasant army, and he was sent to the Qing Dynasty later. He was the deputy general of Xiangyang at this time.

After Azige went to Huguang, the governor of Beijing Dingchuan Lake and the governor of Sichuan Huguang, the governors were divided into three battalions from the left, middle and right, with eight generals and three thousand soldiers.

There are still governors of Yunyang, Huguang, Pianyuan and Sichuan under his command. The pacesetters directly controlled by each governor are divided into two battalions on the left and right, with two thousand soldiers.

Under the governor, there was also an admiral of Huguang, who directly controlled the pacesetters and divided them into five battalions with five thousand soldiers.

Set up three general towns in Huguang, three general soldiers stationed in Jingzhou, Yunyang and Changsha, Chenzhou set up Xiezhen, the general soldiers are also divided into three battalions on the left, middle and right, with eight generals and [-] soldiers.

But now all parts of Hunan are still in the hands of the Ming army, and Yunyang is still in the hands of the Ming army.

Pan Shiliang, the governor of Yunyang, can only mobilize Yang Wenfu, the deputy general of Xiangyang, and his own standard battalion is still in name only.

Yang Wenfu, nicknamed Yang Yaoer, although he also wanted to be further promoted to the general army of Yunyang, but he also knew how much he weighed. down?
Not to mention a strong attack, even if he went to accept the surrender now, he would seriously suspect fraud. He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.In case there is fraud in it, wouldn't he be a meat bun and beat a dog without returning?

So he doesn't want to take the risk, so why not just stay in Xiangyang?
It's just that Pan Shiliang couldn't sit still, he had to go to Yunyang, and he had to take Yunyang down as soon as possible, before the arrival of the new Governor Luo Xiujin, otherwise the first thing Governor Luo did when he took office might be to dismiss him .

For the future, it is worth taking some risks.

What's more, the Wang brothers are very sensible. The 5000 taels of silver are a waste of money. Isn't it true that they are willing to pay so much money?

Yunyang has been besieging the city for so long, so this little money is probably the last possession, right?
Thinking about it left and right, Pan Shiliang felt that the brothers of the Wang family were really surrendering and they were aware of current affairs.

"Why not let Wang Guangen take down Xunyang first, and then transfer him to Xiangyang, and then take over Yunyang with Fuyuan?" Yang Yaoer offered another strategy.

Daotai Li Zhigang also thinks this plan is good, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter the eagle.Wait until Yunyang City is taken, let Yang Wenfu take over Yunyang, and the Wang family brothers will come to Xiangyang, but there are still soldiers here, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Pan Shiliang stroked his beard and couldn't help but nodded again and again, "It's a very good plan. Let Lao Li Daotai go to Xunyang again. Mr. Yang, you will lead 3000 troops and go there afterward, lurking near Yunyang. Once Wang Guangen really takes Yunyang, You go to the defense immediately!"

"After the matter is completed, I will recommend you to be the general soldier of Xunyang!"

Yang Wenfu got this promise, his spirits were lifted immediately, and he promised, "Let's prepare for the humble job!"
