Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 286 The land of Hanzhong is in my hands!
Luo Rucai is a person with no big ambitions, let alone a Yang County, it doesn’t matter if you send another Chenggu County, anyway, Luo is not a person with ambitions in the world, he just wants to be a king of the mountain, and he can have a good life all day long. Drink wine, eat good meat, be accompanied by beautiful women, and be with the Green Forest Brothers.

However, Zhu Changyuan's arrival gave him a strong sense of crisis.

It would be fine if Zhu Changyuan occupied a Yang county, but what does it mean that this guy broke four cities in one day?The key is that according to his speed, it will take less than ten days to call Hanzhong Mansion.

If Zhu Changyuan entered Hanzhong Mansion, what would happen to Luo Rucai?

When he was in Yun County, he claimed to have an army of 30, but in fact, only he knew that there was no army of 30, and the family members of the army were only 10,000+. It would be good if there were [-] troops .

All the way north to Shaanxi to fight with Hong Chengchou, he was defeated a lot. Although there were supplements later, those new farmers didn't have much fighting power.

It can be said that although his soldiers are comparable to Zhang Xianzhong in number, they are far behind in terms of combat effectiveness.

Zhang Xianzhong's [-] troops could not resist Zhu Changyuan, let alone Luo Rucai.

At the critical moment, it was a matter of life and death, no matter how lustful Luo Rucai was, he lost the desire to chat with his wives, so he quickly tidied up his clothes and called all the generals in front of the battle to discuss countermeasures.

They were said to be generals, but in fact most of them were his close friends, or his life and death brothers in the green forest.

Such as Bai Gang, such as Sun Hongbo.

There are also some generals who really serve him on the battlefield.

The meeting lasted for nearly a day, but nothing was discussed. The generals in the hall were divided into two factions, one faction advocated surrender to Zhu Changyuan; the other faction advocated escape.

Anyway, no matter which faction, not even one person dared to propose a head-on confrontation with Zhu Changyuan.

It is true that Zhu Changyuan's reputation is too great, and 200 people broke Zhang Xianzhong's [-] army, not only scaring Zhang Xianzhong, but also scaring these peasant troops.

For example, at the stall where Luo Rucai was having a meeting, a scout wearing red clothes ran all the way in from outside the door. When he saw Luo Rucai, he fell to his knees with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes, "Marshal, it's not good, just now Upon receiving the news, Chenggu County surrendered."

"Snapped!"

A book in Luo Rucai's hand fell to the ground, and the two factions who were fighting to the death in the hall just now also stopped talking.

Chenggu County, which is a barrier only fifty miles away from Hanzhong Mansion, has led his troops to surrender before Zhu Changyuan's army arrived, which completely shattered Luo Rucai's last hope of resisting.

The Hanzhong Basin can also be called the Hanzhong Plain. The major cities from east to west are: Yangxian, Chenggu, Hanzhongfu, and Mianxian.

Now that Yang County was captured by Zhu Changyuan in half a day, and the city was solidified and surrendered, if Zhu Changyuan really leads troops to march westward, Luo Rucai believes that he does not need to resist. There are many people under his command who can open the city gate and sell everything in Hanzhong Mansion to Zhu Changyuan.

"Commander, don't hesitate any longer!" Bai Gang knelt down and said, "The situation in Hanzhong is gone, Commander should have made plans early, Zhu Changyuan is like a wolf like a tiger, and Sun Xiaofeng and Zhang Xianzhong are lessons from the past."

Hearing the word Sun Xiaofeng, Luo Ru trembled for no reason, got up and walked down from the seat, helped Bai Gang up, and said, "Brother Bai, what are you doing?" Then he said sadly: "If I have a hundred Just a cannon."

He was still thinking about using cannons to deal with Zhu Changyuan's cavalry.

"Could it be that there is really no other way but to surrender and run away?" To be honest, it is really a matter for Luo Rucai to give up his current status and rights, especially those wives in the harem who I feel pity for. fatal thing.

"Zhu Changyuan is like a stone, and the commander-in-chief is like an egg. With all due respect, the possibility of the two colliding and the stone breaking and the egg intact is very small!" Not much difference anymore.

"However, if I surrender, don't I mean that the egg and the stone are put together. Although the two are intermingled, although there is no problem at first, once there is a movement, isn't the result the same?"

Luo Rucai is not a fool, so he is naturally worried about his treatment after surrendering. If Zhu Changyuan turns his back on someone and kills him, wouldn't it be as easy as killing a chicken?
Bai Gang said: "Dedicating the city is the first achievement. Chang Yuan is not a person who is easy to kill by nature, so he should not be too mean to the commander-in-chief."

"This...."

Luo Rucai was still a little undecided.

Bai Gang became anxious, stomped his feet, and said: "If the commander is hesitating, there is no need to surrender. Tonight, someone will contact Zhu Changyuan and open the gate of Hanzhong Mansion for him."

Bai Gang is not alarmist, what he said is the fact that many low-level military officers who may not be reused in their lifetime can often soar into the sky in this way.

It would be bad if someone in our army came up with this idea.

Luo Rucai gritted his teeth and patted his thigh, and said, "Okay, big brother Bai will run over to Zhu Changyuan for this handsome, and say that this handsome is willing to surrender, and beg Chang Yuan to protect my family!"

"Okay!" Bai Gang cupped his hands to accept the order, "It's not too late, this subordinate will go to Yang County right away, and I will bring good news to the commander in two days."

Luo Ru just waved his hand and told Bai Gang to go down, because he didn't want to hear any good news.Then, regardless of the subordinates below, he slipped back into the harem by himself.

At this moment, Zhu Changyuan, who was far away in Yang County, was a little dumbfounded.

It was nothing more than the surrender of the four cities around Nimayang County. Just after receiving the news, the defenders of Chenggu County far to the west also sent people to surrender and offer the city.

When he just received the news, Zhu Changyuan thought it was the other party's plan to feign surrender, but when he looked back, it was unlikely, because the other party didn't need to play this trick at all.

Chenggu is not Huazhou City, and Hanzhong Mansion does not have cannons, so it is impossible to play in the water like Li Zicheng did.

Therefore, he personally received the general who came to offer the city, encouraged him and let him defend the city, rewarded him with some items brought from modern society, and let him go back.

Unexpectedly, just after the guy was sent away in the morning, his subordinates reported that Luo Ru had just come to land before it was dark.

Zhu Changyuan was stunned for a while, secretly thinking that Luo Rucai is also considered a talent, although he is not as famous as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in history, but he is also a hero, why does the entire army have the habit of surrendering the city from top to bottom?

I interviewed the envoy with doubts, and laughed when I saw Bai Gang, it turned out to be an old acquaintance!

Bai Gang is a person from the Jianghu, and when he sees Zhu Changyuan, he speaks up without procrastinating, "Are you all right, General?"

"Very good! Boss Bai, please sit down!" Zhu Changyuan summoned him privately in a small area and prepared some small tea and snacks.

Boss Bai sat down and said: "Don't dare, the general can just call me Bai Gang. This time, Bai Gang came to bother me because Marshal Luo wanted to surrender to the general, so he sent me to be an intermediary."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly and poured a glass of water for Boss Bai himself.

"Thank you, General!" Boss Bai took a sip of the water and asked, "What is this?"

"Coke!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, he took a sip himself and returned to the subject, saying, "I don't want to be the second Wen Can."

At that time, Luo Rucai also surrendered to Xiong Wencan, but in the end, it didn't take long for the old bear to play around. If Zhu Changyuan hadn't saved the scene in time, the old bear would have been decapitated by now.

Bai Gang naturally understood what Zhu Changyuan meant, and said: "General, you are too worried. Last time Marshal Luo pretended to surrender, but this time, he surrendered for real. There is no lie to the general!"

"How to really surrender?"

Zhu Changyuan took a sip of water, shrunk slightly, and asked.

Boss Bai was a little nervous when he looked at him, but fortunately he was also a veteran of the final battle. He stood up and cupped his hands to Zhu Changyuan, "This time Marshal Luo not only surrendered to the general, but also handed over the [-] troops under his command to the general for control. As for the ordnance Food and grass are not bad at all, but there is one thing that must be promised by the general!"

"Speak!" Hearing what Bai Gang said, Zhu Changyuan naturally believed that Luo Ru was the real descendant.

"The commander-in-chief asks the general to ensure that his family will not be disturbed, and the general must not do such a stupid thing!" Although Bai Gang was photographed by Zhu Changyuan's majesty, he was Luo Rucai's envoy after all, and he couldn't win over him. It is said that if you can fight for it, you still have to fight for it.

"It doesn't matter!" Zhu Changyuan readily agreed, thinking in his heart that he was just protecting your family, and I will move your whole family to Riyue Island later, so everything will be fine.

What Zhu Changyuan didn't know was that when he personally met Luo Rucai and saw his harem later, he realized that his idea was wrong. This guy's family is quite small, with more than 100 wives and concubines alone, not to mention those A baby waiting to be fed.

It is not a small expense to support such a large family.

The two talked about the details of handing over the troops and supplies, and after signing the agreement, Zhu Changyuan sent Boss Bai back.

Never thought that the land of Hanzhong could be obtained so easily. After Zhu Changyuan sent Boss Bai away, he climbed to the top of the city of Yang County alone, and watched the soldiers and civilians under the city build the big holes left by him when he broke the city a few days ago. Unable to restrain himself, he yelled at the clear wind and bright moon: All the land of Hanzhong is in my hands!
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the severe winter has passed unknowingly.

Counting the days, it is already the first ten days of March in the lunar calendar. According to the calendar of modern society, it is already April in the Gregorian calendar. The temperature has risen significantly. In the fertile land where Hanzhong is located, many farmers are already cultivating rice. The seedlings are gone.

"It's really time for Luo Ru to surrender now. If the war is delayed a little, it is very likely that we will miss this year's rice planting. As for now...hehehehe, just in time!"
