Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 948 Surrender

Two miles west of Puding Fort, there is the Yuan army camp.

The soldiers have already packed up everything, and they only need the marshal's order to break camp.

At this time, the scout brought back a Ming army.

When the Yuan army and local soldiers saw the blood-stained attire of the Ming army, they immediately became red-eyed and wanted to put down their work and come over to tear him alive to vent their anger.

The Ming army was unafraid and regarded them as if they were nothing. They followed the scouts in with their heads held high.

"Go away, this is the messenger!" The scout captain scolded the sergeants with ill intentions and dispersed.

~~

In the Chinese military tent.

The soldiers were packing various maps, bedding, tableware, tea sets and other marshal's utensils into boxes, but Yaozhu was sitting there with a sad face, showing no intention of moving at all.

He had just scolded Xi Tianbu severely and asked people to lock up this mama's boy and calm down. How long has it been, and my mind is still only thinking about saving his mother, so let’s think about how to save his father first!

Pingzhang sent him with the task of guarding Puding Fort. As a result, Puding Fort was lost and could not be recaptured, and tens of thousands of troops were lost. Although most of them were chieftains, those political opponents would not be so clear-cut when they wanted to mess with him.

He estimated that Dalima would be furious once the news here spreads back to Qujing. If those people try to persuade him again, they might just arrest him and take him back for punishment, and they won't give him another chance to redeem himself.

Alas, it's just that I'm usually too proud. Because I'm Darima's favorite general, I don't care about anyone. Now if something goes wrong, I can't find anyone to help me.

When he was full of sorrow, the soldiers came in and reported that the scouts had brought back a messenger from the Ming army.

"Oh?" Yaozhu said with a wistful expression, "Bring him in."

"Yes." The soldiers went out to deliver the order, and after a while, they brought back a Ming army wearing standard armor.

"Are you from Puding Fort?" Biezhu looked at the purple-black bloodstains on his armor and uniform.

"Yes." The messenger nodded and said, "The lower official is Hu Yong, the commander-in-chief of the Left Guard of Nanchang in the Ming Dynasty. He is here to deliver a message to the general on the order of my Royal Highness."

"Your Highness?" Yaizhu sat up suddenly and stared at Hu Yong with a stern gaze: "Which Your Highness is it?"

"Of course it is the sixth son of the current emperor, His Royal Highness King Jiahai of Chu!" the messenger said loudly.

"The King of Chu is not in Guizhou?" Yaizhu said in shock: "But in Puding Fort?"

"Does the general only know this?" Hu Yong also said with a surprised look on his face: "Our Highness did not hide his identity, so he thought the general already knew it."

"So I have been fighting against His Highness King Chu these past few days?" Yaozhu's expression changed several times.

"To be precise, it's with His Highness, the Marquis of Xiping." Hu Yong said knowingly: "This small scene does not require our Highness to do it himself."

Biting Zhu's head was buzzing, and he didn't even listen to his last sentence. It took him a while to come back to his senses and ask, "Why did His Highness send you here?"

"Send the letter." Hu Yong took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Yaozhu.

Yaozhu took the letter from the soldier, tore open the envelope, took out the envelope and read it.

"The general's words are like meeting each other. Although you and I are each our own masters, we have been fighting for several days. The general's command is measured, right and strange, and he has the style of a general." However, the vitality of the north has been exhausted, and the national destiny belongs to the Ming Dynasty. The general's bravery will not help matters. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will destroy everything and destroy this dynasty. ’

‘I have a pity for talented people, and I can’t bear to see the jade and the stone burn together. The general has been fighting fiercely so far, and he has been loyal to the Yuan Dynasty and has no shame in his admiration. Why not surrender as soon as possible and still enjoy high official status and generous salary, and become a loyal minister and good general? The king must have some wine ready to drink and get drunk with the general. I hope the general will think twice. I am waiting for good news. ’

Finally, there is the inscription "Zhu Zhen" written by the dragon and the phoenix. After reading it, Yaizhu sighed with emotion on his face: "I didn't expect that my close friend is actually in the Ming Dynasty."

"My Highness is well-known for cherishing talents. Now that the general is appreciated by my Highness, it is truly a God-given opportunity. Please don't miss it, General." Hu Yong said solemnly.

"I will consider it carefully, but the matter is serious and we must discuss it with the people below. Please wait." Yaozhu said and ordered his soldiers: "Take this envoy down and treat him well."

When Hu Yong followed the soldiers down, the smile on Yaizhu's face disappeared, he slapped the table and said: "Hurry up and give the order, stop moving out of camp, and set up camp again!"

"Yes!" The soldier immediately went down to deliver the order.

After a while, there was an explosion outside the tent, and all the generals came to see them and asked what was going on.

"Let them all come in." Yaizhu said in a deep voice.

The soldiers put the Mongolian generals and chieftains into the tent.

As soon as they came in, the group started shouting loudly: "Marshal, what are you doing?!"

"Why do you say you are leaving but you are not leaving? I don't want to play tricks like this!"

"The people below are going to rebel..."

Yaizhu didn't bother with them. After they finished shouting, he pointed to the letter on the table: "You guys, take a look at this first."

The generals rushed forward and looked at the letter.

After reading it, everyone was shocked.

"Is it true or not, King Chu is in Puding Fort?" The deputy commander raised his head in disbelief and looked at Biting Zhu.

"It should be true." Yaozhu nodded and said, "Didn't I receive news before that the Marquis of Xiping accompanied him to Guizhou? It was precisely because of his presence that the Guizhou soldiers came out in full force. He followed the army It’s reasonable to go to Puding Fort together.”

"It's true." The deputy commander nodded: "Didn't we already guess that there was an expert in Puding Fort? Unexpectedly, it was almost as high as the sky."

Niu Qi also suddenly realized: "No wonder the soldiers in the east and west of the water seem to be different people. I see..."

"Then what does the marshal mean? Do you really submit?" Toxiong and Mino asked Bitizhu. If Yaizhu decided to surrender, they would not object.

"Submission is nothing!" The deputy commander sneered: "We would have submitted a long time ago, why do we have to wait until now?"

"This sixth man is as childish as his father..." The other Mongolian generals also gnashed their teeth and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang wants to destroy our Mongolian race, and we will never surrender to them even if we die!"

They were unwilling to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so they fled to Yunnan to join the Liang Dynasty. Especially after Boss Zhu banned Mongolians from marrying themselves and could only marry Han Chinese, a large number of Mongolians who could not find wives fled to Yunnan. Only then did King Liang's power grow stronger.

At this time, Yunnan was an out-and-out base camp for the Mongolian anti-Ming Dynasty. King Liang's refusal to surrender to the Ming Dynasty was also directly related to this strong anti-Ming atmosphere. If he dared to surrender, he would probably be thrown into Dianchi Lake by the angry Mongolian compatriots the next day.

When several chieftain leaders saw this, they all dared not say a word.

Someone was about to tear up the letter in anger, but was stopped by Biting Zhu: "Wait a minute, this letter will be of great use."
