Chapter 83 Zhou Yu Beats Huang Gai
The red-clothed cannon was used to deal with Yizhou City, Huang Tai was not in a hurry. The red-clothed cannon was too clumsy and moved slowly. If the Ming army suddenly came over, don’t steal chickens and lose rice. If Yizhou City did not capture it, your own cannon was captured by the Ming army, which would have been avenged by the wife and a soldier.
Furthermore, Yizhou City is secondary. Huang Taiji's main goal is to force Hong Chengchou to send troops under the guise of besieging the city, and then use the method of siege and attacking the aid of the Ming army in Liaodong.
Huang Taiji waved his hand: "No hurry, let's talk about it when Fan Zhangjing comes."
Although Hong Chengchou received a letter from Zhu Cilang, he said that he did not need to come to Yizhou to support him. After all, he was anxious. The spies in front kept coming to report, and Huang Taiji actually visited the city of Yizhou in person. Seeing that the Qing soldiers gathered more and more, I wonder if Zhu Cilang could withstand it.
Two days later, Fan Wencheng finally arrived at the city of Yizhou. As soon as he arrived, Huang Taiji actually stood up to greet him.
"Fan Zhangjing, it's hard to come from afar. I'm not talking about it. I'm eager to ask you to judge what the current situation is."
Neither of them was a long-term person, Fan Wencheng bowed: "Your Majesty, I have been studying on the road for half a day. I think this matter needs to be cautious. This Ming army is really strange this time, I may be cheating."
Huang Tai was shocked, even Fan Wencheng thought so. But standing on the city wall was clearly the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. If he withdrew his troops, Huang Tai would never be willing to accept it. If he continued to siege the city, he would not know what year or month it would take.
"Fan Zhangjing, what you mean is that I will continue to be besieged. When the ammunition and food are exhausted in the city, the Ming army will come to support me, right?"
Fan Wencheng sighed: "When you go back to the emperor, I have always been very accurate in my predictions, but this time, I am really confused. Hong Chengchou was so calm that he was so angry. Is there no movement in the Forbidden City? The emperor of Ming Dynasty is not worried about the safety of the prince?"
With Hong Chengchou's understanding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen at this time was probably eager to order Hong Chengchou to send troops. But strangely, the Ming army on the Songjin defense line had no movement at all.
Huang Tai became more and more angry as he thought about it: "I immediately transferred the red cannon and made the noise bigger. I don't believe it, Hong Chengchou continued to remain indifferent."
Fan Wencheng's heart moved: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. It's better to let me discuss with the Ming army first and explore the truth."
Huang Taiji also thought about talking to Zhu Cilang, but this shameless man Zhu Cilang, who had no moral bottom line, cursed Huang Taiji with a slander. Even if he wanted to talk, he couldn't talk.
After hearing Fan Wencheng said this, Huang Taiji had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
"Your Majesty, my brother has always been eloquent. It would be better to let him go to the front and negotiate with the Ming army. Now the Ming army on the Songjin defense line is reluctant to come to support. If the young prince is willing to open the city to surrender, it would be better."
Huang Taiji also thought so. Perhaps there was another reason why Ming Jun did not come to rescue him. That was that it involved palace fighting, and someone deliberately wanted to kill Zhu Cixuan.
This is a common thing in the history of the Han people. Some people deliberately tricked the young prince to Yizhou City and then wanted to kill him by himself. Otherwise, why did the Ming army not come to support him? This is unreasonable.
Fan Wencheng also had an older brother. The two of them asked to see Nurhaci together and became one of the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty. Fan Wencheng's brother was named Fan Wenlu, and this person made no achievements. But in order to promote his brother, Fan Wencheng pushed him out.
Huang Taiji actually knew what Fan Wencheng meant. In order to win over his ministers, he nodded again: "That's great."
Fan Wencai was very good at this time and became a lobbyist. He came to Antai Gate alone and bowed to the Ming army on the city wall: "I am Fan Wencai, on the order of my emperor, come to discuss matters with the crown prince."
The other party came to talk to the crown prince, so Ming Jun on the city wall had to say: "Wait!"
Zhu Cixuan actually had the leisure to play chess with Xia Dechao. At this time, Zhu Cixuan pulled one of the forward's cannons into the middle: "Two cannons have no mats, general, you lost."
Xia Dechao had already lost seven sets in a row, and he immediately pushed the chessboard with a dejected look: "If you don't come, the lower official is not your highness's opponent."
It happened that at this time, my hands came down to report: "Your Highness, there are Jiannu officials from the city who came to discuss matters, saying yes, saying that they were referring to your name and want to see you, Your Highness."
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly, patted his clothes and stood up: "I'm finally here, go out and have a look."
On the city wall, Zhu Cilang put his hands on his hips, looked at the guy who looked like a middle-aged scholar in the city, and asked carelessly: "Which bastard wants to see this prince?"
The other party gave himself a warning as soon as he arrived. The little prince was so shameless. No wonder he was abandoned in this lonely Yizhou City. Fan Wencai looked up and said, "I am here to Fan Wencai, and I have something to say to His Highness the Crown Prince at the order of my emperor."
"Fantasy Wencai? Oh~" Zhu Ciyang expressed his sudden enlightenment and said, "I don't know."
Fan Wencai was stunned. Why don’t you know you to pretend to be like this? He is really a ignorant boy. At that moment, he suppressed his anger: "Your Highness, I am not to hide it. Now you are alone in this Yizhou city, and Songjin’s Ming army has not come to support you. As long as my emperor traps the besieged city, this city will be destroyed."
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, I am so scared. What kind of fan is that? Then why don't you withdraw your troops quickly? I will return to Beijing quickly."
Fan Wencai smiled and said, "Your Highness may not know that our emperor is here to protect your highness. Because someone in your court wants to murder your highness, our emperor came here to hear the news."
Zhu Cilang was furious: "Nonsense, I am the prince of the current dynasty, who dares to harm me?"
"Otherwise, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trapped in this Yizhou City, Hong Chengchou from Songjin Defense Line, and will be rescued in the future."
Zhu Cixuan choked immediately, and he said nervously: "What do you mean is that someone really wants to harm me?"
Fan Wencai nodded: "The news our emperor has received is exactly."
"What should I do, what should I do?" Zhu Cixuan was anxiously walking on the city wall.
Xia Dechao next to him said, "Your Highness, be careful of fraud. Jiannu's wolfish ambitions are lying to us."
With a "bang!", Zhu Cilang slapped Xia Dechao hard and said, "Fuck, why don't Hong Chengchou come to save me!"
"I..." Xia Dechao covered his mouth and immediately did not dare to say anything.
Zhu Cilang looked very scared and turned to Fan Wencai under the city and said, "That Lord Fan, I was deceived into this Yizhou City. You, are you really here to save me? You can't mess with me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, our emperor will never go back on his word."
Zhu Cixuan shouted to the city: "Okay, tomorrow you will ask Huang Taiji to come here. I will talk to him in person. If it were as you said, I will open the city gate to greet you."
"This..." Fan Wencai was a little hesitant under the city.
