Chapter 11 The foggy situation (Sixth)

"Sir, please have something. You haven't eaten anything from morning until now. If you continue like this..." Yu Youfu, an old servant who has been following Yu Guangjie for more than 30 years, brought warm food and persuaded him with heartache.

Yu Guangjie sighed and looked at this loyal servant with complicated eyes. He was also very energetic back then. Now he has been getting rid of the remaining years. His face is full of wrinkles. He said with emotion: "I'm blessed, you should be sixty this year, right?"

Yu Youfu's nose was sore for no reason and he choked up: "Sir, the villain is already sixty-three this year."

"Ah, it turns out that you are one round older than me, I am fifty-one this year." Yu Guangjie said in surprise.

"Hey, more than thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I am old too." Yu Guangjie sighed.

"Sir, you are not old, you are still young." Yu Youfu explained loudly, but it was too pale and too powerless.

"It is impossible to escape if you lose your army, and it is impossible to escape if you lose your city. Anyway, it is all dead. Why can't I be a full-fledged ghost?" Yu Guangjie's eyes flashed, and he picked up the food and ate it. It was like a wind of insults. All the food in front of him did not fall even a drop of soup, and all the food in front of him entered Yu Guangjie's belly.

Seeing Yu Guangjie eating the food voraciously, Yu Youfu turned around silently to wipe away the tears that had overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but everything he did seemed to be futile. He took the tears and wiped more and more. After a while, a large area of ​​warriors had already appeared in his sleeves.

"Sir, the court clearly wants to die. Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch, dominated the government affairs, eliminated dissidents, killed loyal ministers on a large scale, and harmed the country and the people. For such a court, why are you still working for him?" Yu Youfu seemed to have enough courage accumulated throughout his life, and suddenly knelt in front of Yu Guangjie and said loudly.

"Bold!" Yu Guangjie's heart trembled suddenly. He was honest and unknown, and the old servant who served him carefully said such words. How could he not shock him? He looked at the old servant kneeling in the hall with a look of shock and stood up involuntarily.

Yu Guangjie did not see Yu Youfu's expression of remorse or even regret, but saw a face he had never thought about. Although his eyes were a little hesitant at the beginning, he finally met him firmly.

"Sir, what if you beat the army outside the city?" Yu Youfu asked with a firm look in his eyes.

With a bang, all Yu Guangjie's persistence was ruthlessly torn to pieces by this question. The belief that originally supported him to continue fighting collapsed in front of him. So what if he wins? With his personality, will he be with Wei Zhongxian and others? Will he beg for mercy in front of Wei Zhongxian? If he wins, he can save the life of the Yu family and even get promoted, but the people in Jiangnan will continue to live under the tyranny of Wei Zhongxian. Is this what he wants? He originally thought that if he didn't become the general of Zhenjiang, he could live a peaceful life, but now it seems that this is just a luxury.

"What do you want to say? I know these words are definitely not something you can say." Yu Guangjie sat down dejectedly, and his original spirit was also lost on his face, but a trace of wisdom was still there. It was impossible for the old servant to show such a performance by himself. There must be someone behind him to give advice, and he also guessed seven points where this came from.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but Youfu is loyal to you. For more than 30 years, you will take good care of Youfu. Youfu will never betray you." Yu Youfu's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, but he also figured it out that this was the only way to save the adult family, so he dared to commit crimes. He would do anything to blame for this, and even bear the name of disloyalty. It can be said that he is extremely loyal.

"I know who is behind you, and I also want to know who can move the closest people around me to act as lobbyists." Although Yu Guangjie lost his mind for a moment, he quickly regained his calmness. Seeing Yu Youfu's eyes became a little more sharp, he deserved to be a general of war.

"Sir..." Yu Youfu called out in tremblingly.

"Do you say it or not?" Yu Guangjie picked up the gavel on the desk and took a snap, and asked sternly.

"Sir..." Yu Youfu's eyes suddenly felt more fearful. You know, although Yu Guangjie's control was generous, it was absolutely terrifying to be strict, especially since he had been commanding troops for many years and came up step by step, he had a little more sense of fighting and killing spirit, and he was the first to win.

"Why should you make things difficult for an old servant who has served you loyally for more than 30 years?" Accompanied by this neither humble nor arrogant voice, a man dressed in a young scholar in his thirties appeared in front of Yu Guangjie.

"Who are you? How did you come in from the forbidden area of ​​the military advisor of the government office!" Yu Guangjie was startled. He had never seen the person in front of him before, and he quietly entered the lobby of the county government guarded by heavy troops. Why didn't he surprise him?

The scribe smiled slightly, met Yu Guangjie's sharp eyes calmly, clasped his fists, bowed slightly, and said, "Lobbyist."

"Lobbyist?" Yu Guangjie stared at the other party and sneered: "Do you know, where is this?"

"I know." The scribe didn't seem to care at all.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Yu Guangjie asked coldly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of the visitor, or if he had any other meaning.

"I'm afraid, of course!" The scribe laughed and said, "General, aren't you afraid?" I don't know if it was because he was intentionally teasing or didn't take Yu Guangjie seriously at all, but actually asked the question back. I have to say that this middle-aged scribe, as a lobbyist, has a relatively boldness.

"Just, why are I afraid of it? If I can escape the siege of the court with one death, how are I afraid of life and death?" Yu Guangjie sneered. If such a question disturbed his mood, he would have let down the reputation of a generation of famous generals who fought against the Japanese.

"The court that General Yu mentioned was that court, the son emperor in Nanjing, or the one in Beijing?" the scholar smiled and asked.

"Of course it is my orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"General Yu, don't beat around the bush. I came from the north. The purpose is to persuade the surrender general to surrender to the wise and powerful Emperor Chongzhen." The scholar seemed unwilling to spare the circle with Yu Guangjie, so he simply made it clear. He heard the words of Yu Guangjie and Yu Youfu just now. Yu Guangjie already had the intention to surrender, but he was worried that the safety of his family in Nanjing would be difficult to make a decision. He even thought that as long as he died in battle, the family in Nanjing would be safe, so he appeared on his own initiative. In fact, he also squeezed his sweat in his palm, but once he persuaded Yu Guangjie to surrender, such a great contribution would be enough to make him rise to the top, so how could he not be moved?

"Come!" Yu Guangjie's face turned cold and he shouted loudly outside the court.

During a few breaths, more than a dozen soldiers in armor rushed in quickly, and knelt down to Yu Guangjie on one knee and said, "General!"

"Tie the spy from the north to this general!" Yu Guangjie pointed at the middle-aged scholar and shouted loudly.

"Yes, General!" The four soldiers quickly stepped forward and tied the scholar's backhand with thick ropes. However, the scholar seemed to have no sense of resistance, but the smile on his face disappeared.

"Go on!"

"slow!"

"You know, it's easy to kill me, but the Yu family's 136 members will probably follow the adults to reunite in the underworld soon!"

"Are you threatening me?" Yu Guangjie's face changed drastically, and he walked down and said angrily.

"It's not a threat, it's an attempt to persuade the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." The scribe broke away from the hands of the soldiers on both sides and stood still.

"Just you?"

"Just rely on me!" The scribe raised his head confidently.

"Okay, I will give you a chance!" Yu Guangjie waved his hand and asked all the soldiers in the lobby to retreat. These people were all servants of the Yu family, and they were loyal and naturally would not leak the news.

"Name?"

"In the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Dingchen, the third Jinshi in the Xinmao Certificate, is currently the head of the Lifan Academy." Huang Dingchen replied in a humble and arrogant manner.

Yu Guangjie was shocked and thought to himself that the Northern Dynasties really valued him, so they actually sent a Tanhualang to persuade him to surrender. He was surprised, but there was no trace of his face and said lightly: "It turns out that he is the head of the army."

Huang Dingchen naturally would not miss the observation of any expression on Yu Guangjie's face. However, after hearing his identity, Yu Guangjie's expression changed no matter how slightest. He knew that the general in front of him, who was not very prominent, was a firm-minded person and was not easy to deal with. Now he had a scheming. The Lifan Academy was the diplomatic yamen of the court, and negotiation skills were naturally a necessary subject for every Lifan Academy official. Huang Dingchen was the best, otherwise he would not have given him the important task of persuading Yu Guangjie to surrender.

"If the general dies now, when Nanjing City is destroyed in the future, the general's family will become traitors. What do you think the emperor will take over the general's family?" Huang Dingchen asked by letting go of his tied hands.

Involving the safety of his family, this is Yu Guangjie's biggest weakness. Huang Dingchen grabbed it all at once and stubbornly. Although some of this seemed to be a despicable villain, it was all true, and it was not something that Huang Dingchen, a small head of the Lifan Academy, could control it, so he didn't think anything was wrong when he said it.

Yu Guangjie's hand trembled slightly, and the tremor had already fallen into Huang Dingcheng's eyes. He knew that he had almost succeeded in half.

"The general must be clear that Longtan City is about to be broken, and the general will not surrender immediately. If the general can save his life tomorrow, he will definitely become a prisoner. At that time, the general's family will be in a worse situation than now. As far as I know, Wei Zhongxian has already sent someone to surround the general's mansion. Once the general moves any abnormality, the general's family will definitely die without a complete body." Huang Dingchen said.

Yu Guangjie frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't know the situation of his family. He had long experienced Wei Zhongxian's evil spirit, otherwise he would not have done a good job in Zhenjiang General and was idle at home. He said, "Will the Lord in charge say this? Isn't I going to continue fighting?"

"No, the general misunderstood. In the battle tomorrow, only the general needs to be..." Huang Dingchen leaned into Yu Guangjie's ear and whispered a few words. He had prepared before coming, so he could only persuade the old servant of the Yu family, otherwise he would not have seen Yu Guangjie at all. Moreover, all this required secret action. If Wei Zhongxian's spy on the East Factory knew about it, all the arrangements would be in vain.

After listening to Huang Dingchen's plan, Yu Guangjie was shocked. Such a careful plan could be said to be seamless. He originally wanted to fight to the death, even if he was defeated or killed in the battle, it would be fine if he could keep his family safe. After listening to Huang Dingchen's plan, he was already moved. If this plan succeeds, not only will he have no worries about his life, but his family will be able to preserve it, and he can also fulfill his concept of serving the country wholeheartedly. But there is one key point? Who is the final winner of this war? This is definitely a gamble of life and death!
