Chapter 390 Fraudulent surrender
The specific defense map of Luoshan County was definitely not available, but he still had a general understanding of the situation in the city. At this moment, he told Li Zicheng everything he saw and heard.
"The King of Chuang, Luoshan County has a tight defense. This Hongniang is extremely capable, and the people of Luoshan County seem to support him very much. If we attack hard, there is no chance of winning."
Liu Zongmin, the general next to Li Zicheng, sighed: "It's not just that there is little chance of victory. If Hong Niangzi is waiting for help in the city, we have no hope of winning at all. King Chuang, forget it, we can't beat Hong Niangzi if we don't surrender."
Li Zicheng was shocked, and even Liu Zongmin said so. It seems that Luoshan County is really unable to defeat him. Liu Zongmin is Li Zicheng's most powerful general, and he is so arrogant.
Even when facing the surging officers and soldiers, Liu Zongmin rarely admires anyone. It is rare for Hong Niang to get such a respect from him.
If you cannot conquer Luoshan County, you will not be able to enter the hinterland of Henan and loot it. Luoshan County is a mountain blocking Li Zicheng.
This Hongmao followed the court with a determined will. If she could not get supplies in Henan, Li Zicheng's situation would be difficult.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it again." Li Zicheng was thinking. Since he couldn't attack, he could only take his wits.
Take the Wise...
Suddenly, Li Zicheng felt aroused, he had already made up his mind. He was right, this was a good way.
"Traveling to Qingshan, you go to Luoshan County again."
You Qingshan was shocked when he heard this: "King Chuang, why don't you go to Luoshan County?"
You Qingshan didn't understand, and he had just returned from Luoshan County and felt disappointed. The Hongmao was determined to follow the court, and it was impossible to surrender.
The Hongmao is now an official, but we are bandits. Before, he did not arrest himself for the sake of his old friend, but Hongmao said: When we meet again, we will speak with a knife.
The meaning is very obvious. Let you go this time. When you meet again next time, you will be the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng just asked him to go. Li Zicheng nodded: "That's right, go to Luoshan County again, and follow my instructions, tell the Hongniang..."
Being a job under King Chuang is definitely not a good thing. You Qingshan was dejected. But there was no way, King Chuang insisted on going by himself, so You Qingshan had to clean up the divination stall and enter the city again.
When Hong Niang heard that You Qingshan was coming again, she couldn't help but frown this time.
Ling Susu was even more furious: "Madam Hong, this guy is too unfair. Let's arrest him and make up for the crime of the bandit. Anyway, I don't think Li Zicheng is kind to us. Madam Hong is not talking about you. If you get too close to these people, something will happen. Once the court finds out, it will not only be Governor Sun who is implicated, but also the Crown Prince is difficult to do."
Ling Susu was right, the thief Li Zicheng was the mortal enemy of the court. Hong Niangzi is now the county magistrate of Luoshan County. If he is not clear about the bandits, he will be reported by others. Then, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the seven provinces, will be implicated and Zhu Cilang will be embarrassed.
What do you mean? Since you have surrendered to the court, why do you still have to make exchanges with enemies? Isn’t this obvious that the court is suspicious of you? Zhu Cixuan, under tremendous pressure, handed over the entire Luoshan County to you.
The Hong Niangzi naturally knew this truth in her heart, but the visitor was a guest. She had not expressed her position on you yet, so you can't just arrest someone like that.
"Let him come in first!"
When we met again, Hong Niangzi's face was obviously not so good-looking. You Qingshan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and went straight to the point: "Hong Niangzi forgives his crime. This time he came to him to send a message for the King of Chuang."
The Hongniang said coldly: "I said that when we meet again, we are enemies, not friends. When we travel to Qingshan, what do you want to say."
"My family wants to surrender to the court."
As soon as this statement came out, Madam Hong was extremely shocked and all his subordinates were all shocked. Li Zicheng surrendered?
He had done this before, not only Li Zicheng pretended to surrender several times, but Zhang Xianzhong was even more familiar with surrender.
Could it be that the Ming army is a fool? They repeatedly surrendered and rebelled repeatedly, but you can't see it? Or are you all a group of people, pigs, and brains?
In fact, things are far from as simple as you see on the surface. You must know that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's deceitful surrender were both kept in a complete set of articles.
Zhang Xianzhong, a professional tyrant, actually did not record as many times as possible. Every time they defrauded them, they deceived the truth and induced the Ming army to believe it. No one is a fool, but the Ming army still accepted their defraud because there were too many sadness and helplessness.
Take Zhang Xianzhong as an example. Every time this guy surrendered to the court, Zhang Xianzhong's army maintained a complete organization. Zhang Xianzhong, who was begging for surrender, was not defeated. Although the Ming army was a regular army, its advantages were not obvious when fighting against the bandits, and even had a small disadvantage. Therefore, they could only surrender Zhang Xianzhong, but not disrupt all his troops. It was precisely with the intact troops that Zhang Xianzhong made a comeback again and again.
In many cases, surrendering is just a set of rhetoric for those damn ministers. Emperor Chongzhen may not know the secret after hearing too much. However, even if he knows, Emperor Chongzhen cannot solve this problem. If he refuses to surrender, then the thieves will be even more unable to deal with it when they resist. After all, forcing the bandits to a desperate situation can only end up with "killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred themselves". Therefore, before gaining an absolute advantage, the Ming court could only adopt the method of surrendering to stabilize the situation.
It’s no wonder Chongzhen sighed that all civil officials could be killed, but it’s different now. Now it’s too naive to think about the old trick of deceiving surrender.
This time, when the Hong Madam heard that Li Zicheng was going to surrender to the court, she didn't believe it: "You mean, the King of Chuang is going to surrender to the court?"
You Qingshan nodded: "That's right, the court has kept Henan like an iron bucket, and my family's King Chuang has nowhere to go. In addition, the King Chuang heard that the King Hong was the county magistrate in Luoshan County and was deeply loved by the people. We King Chuang took the initiative to surrender, and asked the King Hong to fulfill his promise and allow me to surrender."
Li Zicheng's troops were dozens of times more than Hong Niang, so of course she could not trust each other so easily. Since the King of Chuang wanted to surrender, Hong Niang sneered: "Okay, since the King of Chuang has the intention of abandoning darkness and turning to the light, I will immediately write a letter and let Governor Sun Chuanting and General Sun come over to accept the surrender of the King of Chuang."
Want to surrender? OK, do you treat my Hongmao as a three-year-old child? You can surrender, let Sun Chuanting transfer Qin soldiers. In front of Qin soldiers, your Li Zicheng's team is not enough for others to get stuck in the teeth. Before, have you been chased and beaten by Sun Chuanting all the time?
