Chapter eight hundred and six
Qu Nidao said in a dark and silenced manner. "I have received a tip these days. It is said that Zhang Shangtu, the deputy governor of Anbei Protectorate, was demoted to a general who was greedy for merit and made a rash progress. This time, the Zheng people returned without merit, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. Someone must be a scapegoat. Zhang Shangtu is sure to be a scapegoat."
"Master Qu means to persuade Zhang Shangtu to surrender." Li Man said excitedly, "Zhang Shangtu is the deputy governor of Zheng State. If he can surrender, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Zheng army."
Qu Nidao continued, "I have learned about the generals of Zheng State for nothing. Zhang Shangtu is good at fighting, brave and resourceful, but he is utilitarian, likes to speculate, and takes odd steps. Miao Tieshan intends to train him to take over the Anbei Protectorate. This Northern Expedition, he first released more than 20,000 light cavalry of Badai's troops in Laerna, and then when our army surrounded Dano Lake, he was greedy for merit and advance to lose his troops and lose his generals. This person's career has ended. It is light to lose his official position after returning to China. Maybe he will suffer a prison disaster, and may even be executed to block the world. Sneak, the emperor of Zheng State has always liked to blame his subordinates for his mistakes."
Dharma King Badorje smiled and said, "Yes, I received a tip this morning. Zheng's army took Miao Tieshan's troops as the rear army. Zhang Shangtu must be in the rear army. If he could persuade him to surrender, he would eat more than 200,000 people in the rear of Zheng's army. Zheng's army would definitely be seriously injured and would not be able to recover in 200,000 years."
Tizhu said, "It's better to promise it for profit. If Zhang Shangtu can lead the people to surrender, he will make his own tribe a khan, give more cattle and sheep, and give the captured Zheng soldiers, and then give him the credit for his achievements and let him choose a place with abundant water and grass."
"I will send Lule to bring a letter to sneak into Zheng camp to find Zhang Shangtu." Badorje said. Except for Kalu, who knows martial arts, Leha, Benhu and Lule are all top experts. Lule is a low-key and cautious person, so he is the best candidate to go and find someone.
After the second update, Zhang Shangtu was still sitting in the tent in the northwest corner of Zhengying, silently thinking about his thoughts. Qu Nidao's guess was exactly the dilemma faced by Zhang Shangtu. The army began to move south. He was just a general who listened to the tent. He led only 5,000 troops, and the old subordinates of the past hid themselves like avoiding the plague. His fate is well known.
The more he thought about the consequences, the more he was afraid. Zhang Shangtu couldn't sit down. He stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, thinking about looking for opportunities to find Governor Miao tomorrow, and he fought for the opportunity to make meritorious service, hoping to overcome this difficulty. However, his status is too low now, and it is not easy to see Miao Tieshan. Thinking of those flag officials who asked for benefits, Zhang Shangtu secretly gritted his teeth. These dogs used to squeeze their buttocks, but now they all show off their official faces one by one, which is really hateful.
A muffled groan came from outside the tent, which was the voice of the personal guard Yuan Shifu. Zhang Shangtu was very alert and turned around to take the sword in his hand. He was about to ask, but the curtain was raised, and a figure held Yuan Shifu in hostage.
"Who?" Zhang Shangtu shouted loudly.
The man let go of his hand, Yuan Shifu fell to the ground. The man raised his single palm and politely said, "Satu taught Rule to follow the Dharma King, and the saint's order came to pay homage to General Zhang."
Hearing Zhang Shangtu’s shout, the personal guards in the tent next to him were alert, and an inquiry came from outside the tent, “General, is there anything wrong?”
Lule's face did not change and looked at Zhang Shangtu calmly. Zhang Shangtu's face changed a few times. He could enter and exit the camps of hundreds of thousands of troops without being discovered. It was easy for Lule to kill him, and he might not be as good as his personal guards to get his life.
If you are not sure, Zhang Shangtu said, "It's okay, you keep your tent and don't let anyone get close."
When he returned the sword to the sheath, Zhang Shangtu said, "Satu teaches Lule, but the master Lule? Let's sit there, there is no tea to treat guests at the cold night, don't blame me." Zhang Shangtu was originally the deputy governor of the Anbei Grand Protector and a general in the army. Naturally, he had some understanding of the situation in the northern desert and the characters.
Lule nodded slightly and sat down at the table calmly. Zhang Shangtu looked at Lule carefully and saw that he was about fifty years old, medium figure, short hair and kind-hearted face. Lule took out the letter from his arms and said, "This is the letter written by the Dharma King and the Saint to General Zhang. Please read it first."
After opening the letter, Zhang Shangtu read it carefully under the lamp. The letter was not long. After briefly explaining Zhang's predicament, he said bluntly that if he was willing to surrender to the desert, he would be a khan, etc. Under the light, Zhang Shangtu's face was unstable. He read the letter three times over and over again before igniting the letter on the flames of the lamp.
Seeing the black slabs falling silently, Zhang Shangtu's eyes flashed with a faint light and said in a stern voice, "Your country is missing its foundation, so I am not afraid of taking the plan."
Lule smiled and said, "General Zhang is in trouble. Even if he is in trouble, how much credit can he make? Can he be restored to his post? Instead of being worried, it is better to let go. My desert is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many water and plants. The saint promised that the Zheng army brought by the general will be your tribe and will also hand over the captive Zheng people to you. The Zheng women captured over the years will also be sent to you. The general has land thousands of miles, and the troops are tens of thousands, and the south is called a khan and free. Isn't it a hundred times better than being guilty and being scolded by others."
Zhang Shangtu struggled in pain, leaned back on the back of the chair, stared at the candlelight, and murmured, "I still have parents, wife and children in my family. What if I betray them?"
(Please wait a few minutes)
