Zuo Yingxuan, the county magistrate of Changli, was summarizing today's war with the squires in the hall of the county government office, when he suddenly reported that an old acquaintance from outside the city asked to see him.

The people in the hall were all taken aback when they heard that, at this time, there were all Tartars outside the city, so the county lord couldn't possibly know Jianlu, he couldn't be another scum of the Han people.

Zuo Yingxuan was also strange, he came thousands of miles away to take up the post, and he didn't know anyone.

Suddenly, he thought of the person who came with him. It is estimated that he should have been lost in Yongping City. Could it be him?

Thinking of this, Zuo Yingxuan temporarily interrupted the meeting and rushed to the city. [

The country gentry followed Zuo Yingxuan to the city, not because they couldn't trust the county venerable. After so many days of life and death, they all knew what the county lord was like. Now they went to the city together, just to see who came and what they wanted to do Well.

Outside the city, several Jian captives with shields in their hands protected Li Yingfang and came to persuade him to surrender.He was still thinking about why Baylor valued this Han dog so much. Not only did he have to protect him, but he also had to listen to his words and cooperate with his actions to persuade Changli City to surrender.

They didn't know that this was not Daishan's idea, but Huang Taiji's request in the letter.

While waiting, Li Yingfang thought in her heart, Dajin has been fighting for so many days, but still can't win, if she can persuade her to surrender now, it will be a great credit, and she will definitely be reused by Dajin.Then use what you have learned to help the Great Khan conquer the world, and maybe even become a hero who founded the country.

Zuo Ying chose the top of the city, and saw about a stone's throw away from the city, there was a Tartar wearing the clothes of a Ming Dynasty standing there on horseback, and several real Tartars were guarding him with shields.

Taking a closer look, I found that it was indeed him, Li Yingfang, a fellow candidate from the same village.

Zuo Yingxuan's heart tightened, did he really take refuge in the Tartars or was he forced by the situation?

At this time, Li Yingfang had already seen a group of people coming from the top of the city, surrounded by a person in the middle who was wearing a seventh-rank green robe.Taking a closer look, I recognized that person, and immediately summoned up my spirits, and shouted to the city wall: "Brother Wucai, don't come here, brother Huolie is here."

"It turned out to be you, what's your business here?" Zuo Yingxuan wanted to play tricks.

Li Yingfang still stood still, and said loudly: "Brother Wucai, your voice is not low on weekdays, why is it lower than my younger brother's voice now, my younger brother came here to save Brother Wucai."

"The continuous r war was caused by o's labor. What do you mean by that?" Zuo Yingxuan felt a little helpless when facing the person who knew his details, so he could only explain.

Li Yingfang urged the horse a few steps closer and then stopped, shouting towards the top of the wall: "Brother Wucai, you have only been fighting for a few days, and you are so haggard."

After sighing, he shouted again: "Da Jin only used one-tenth of his strength. Da Khan sent another [-] troops and came to raz Changli immediately. I can't bear my brother's suffering from this war, so I express my gratitude to Da Khan." Please come and save your brother."

At this time, no one knew that Li Yingfang was making up nonsense and bumped into him, and Huang Taiji really sent a large army to come.

Zuo Yingxuan faced the outside of the city, his lips moved slightly, and asked Shi Guozhu next to him in a low voice: "Are you sure you will be killed with one arrow?"

Seeing Li Yingfang's reaction, Zuo Yingxuan felt that he should have sincerely joined Jianlu, so he asked Shi Guozhu.

Seeing that Zuo Yingxuan was so cautious, Shi Guozhu didn't dare to shake his head, and said in a low voice, "It's protected by a Tartar shield, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it."

No matter how quiet their voices were, the squire standing beside them could still hear them, thinking that the county lord wanted to use another trick.

But they were a little strange, the county officials didn't know the two people who persuaded them to surrender last time, and they spared their lives. [

This time, it was his old acquaintance who wanted his life instead. In this way, there will be no way to delay time through peace talks in the future.

Zuo Yingxuan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then shouted: "You said you came here to save me, what proof do you have?"

As soon as Li Yingfang heard that there was a connection, she hurriedly shouted: "My little brother knows that brother Wucai likes to discern the truth and defend the people's grievances. I have asked the Great Khan to take the post of inspector and take charge of one party's punishment."

Zuo Yingxuan knew that he couldn't be too impatient, so he pretended to be contemplative. He didn't dare to speak anymore, because he was afraid that Li Yingfang could see him talking when he walked a few steps closer just now.

He gestured to the people around him with his lowered hand, pointing at them, pointing at himself, pointing out of the city again, and repeating this several times.Finally someone understood Zuo Yingxuan's gesture, and began to persuade loudly: "Xianzun, you can't leave us alone!"

When the other people heard it, they started talking too. At first glance, the city was in chaos.

Zuo Yingxuan gave a deep praise in his heart, turned to face them and said, "This man must not be used by Jianlu. He is protected by shield soldiers, so it is difficult to shoot him. I am determined to lure him into the city and then kill him. You all pretend to be hesitant to persuade him." My officer. After a while, Wan Jie will pretend not to agree, and this officer will detain you."

After Li Yingfang watched her bait being thrown out from the city, Zuo Yingxuan was moved and was doing other people's work, so she couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

After waiting for a while, Zuo Yingxuan finally shouted to him: "How will Da Jin deal with the people of Changli?"

Li Yingfang hurriedly replied: "They became the people of Dajin, so naturally they were spared the disaster of war, and no longer have the calamity of family ruin and death."

"How to dispose of people's wealth?" Zuo Yingxuan asked again a topic that most people should be very concerned about.

"The Great Khan has an order. Don't take the people of Changli with a needle. Dajin's army has strict discipline and will never violate the order of the Great Khan." Li Yingfang continued to talk nonsense, only wanting to make money to open the city gate.

The leader of Jianlu who guarded him was a man who knew Chinese, and when he heard Li Yingfang speak, he secretly laughed in his heart.When we entered the city, we would naturally not take a needle or a thread, but take it all if we wanted to, even at the cost of our lives.

After hearing Li Yingfang's words, the city leaders started to quarrel again. Although they couldn't hear what they were arguing about, Li Yingfang was very clear that the people in the city had different opinions.

After seeing Zuo Yingxuan made another phone call to the people at the top of the city, he turned around and shouted, "My brother Huo Lie, what guarantee do you have?"

When Li Yingfang heard this, she wanted to make a guarantee. There was no guarantee at all. No matter Dajin's Dahan or Baylor, they didn't make any guarantees.

He was hesitating on what guarantee to make the people in Changli City believe, when a voice shouted: "Unless that person can be honest with each other and come to the city as a hostage, with such sincerity, can he be trusted." .”

"Yes, as long as he doesn't lie to us, he won't be afraid to take the city as a hostage." Another voice echoed.

"Your Majesty, don't surrender. I'm sorry to the court, and I'm sorry to my ancestors." This is Wanjie speaking loudly.

Zuo Yingxuan shouted loudly: "What are you talking about, I have my own opinion, come here, take him down and watch him strictly."

Then Wanjie was taken away while struggling to persuade him, his unwilling voice slowly faded away, obviously he was taken away.

"Brother Huo Lie, look at this," Zuo Yingxuan dragged on for a long time. [

Li Yingfang saw and listened to everything on the top of the city.

He thought to himself, only when they had concerns would they appear to be sincerely considering the matter of surrender, and if I were more frank, it would appear to them that it was true.When the Dajin army entered the city, they would be left alone, and they would naturally be safe.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs.Li Yingfang secretly made up her mind and shouted to the top of the city: "Brother Wucai, what my younger brother said is true. If you don't believe me, I am willing to enter the city as a hostage to save my brother and the people of Changli."

In order to avoid repetition, Zuo Yingxuan pretended to be thinking about it, but did not agree.The squires around him shouted loudly, meaning that if the county lord wants to surrender to Jianlu, this person must be a hostage.

Zuo Yingxuan reckoned that the cooking time was enough, so he said to Li Yingfang: "Then you will be wronged for being a brother."

Seeing that the leader of the city had agreed, Li Yingfang turned around and said to the leader of Jianlu who was guarding him, "My lord, please report to Baylor. I will go to the city as a hostage. After the appointed time, please enter the city in time."

That person has been ordered to act on behalf of Shan, and he needs to cooperate with all his strength.And he didn't suspect that Li Yingfang pretended to be a hostage and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty for this reason. If it was for this reason, she would not have voted in a small county that was bound to be broken by Dajin.

Because of the above reasons, the Jianlu leader agreed to Li Yingfang's request.

As soon as the two sides reached an agreement, a hanging basket was lowered from the top of the city, and Li Yingfang was hoisted up, while Jianlu, who was guarding him, went back to sue Daishan.

After Li Yingfang went up the city wall, she bowed to Zuo Yingxuan and said, "Brother Wucai, you can feel at ease now, can you talk about when the city gate will be opened?"

Zuo Yingxuan heard that Li Yingfang had escaped from Jianlu's control, and was still thinking about persuading Changli to surrender. The last bit of illusion about him was shattered in his heart, so he pretended to be enthusiastic and said: "I'm not busy, I haven't seen you for a long time, go to the county government first." It’s just for my virtuous brother to clean up the dust.”

The surrounding squires were taken aback for a moment. Didn't this guy come up already? It's up to the county lord to say whether he should be killed or cut. Why does the county lord still want to go drinking with him? Could it be that he really wants to surrender?
