Zhang Fu decided to surrender!

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he stood up sharply from the chair, raised his fists into the air, and waved his fists excitedly with a little gaffe: "Okay! His face with thick eyebrows and big eyes was as red as drinking wine with excitement.

By now, the Han Army's chances of victory have been very great. However, if you lead a large army to march along the South Road (Nanchang and Hangzhou Jingshi), it is indeed difficult to encounter strong resistance along the way, but it will take at least half a year! This is also a rather disadvantageous option.

As Sheng Yong said, there are many dreams at night! The more time passes, the great shocking effect achieved by the Battle of Huguang and the situation of landslides and ground cracks may gradually ease; When something unexpected happens, the probability will increase.

Therefore, marching on the south road is not the best strategy!

And Zhang Fu's surrender gave Zhu Gaoxu the opportunity to recruit the sailor. This incident can also be regarded as an aftershock of the "Battle of Huguang" and one of the results of expanding the results of the battle.

The messenger of Beisi, who was standing in the study, quietly glanced up at Zhu Gaoxu, and continued: "The little one was imprisoned for many days in the enemy's army; I was worried all day long, and I didn't know what was going on outside the secret room.

Until one night, the enemy general Zhang Fu suddenly appeared in front of Xiao, gave Xiao's letter, and repeatedly told Xiao's that the matter was very important. Then a stubborn general took the small one and went out in a carriage.

When we reached the east gate, the gate was about to close. We hurried out of Changsha City, abandoned the car and rode south, and found a place to hide; In the middle of the night, the military general got a small boat and told the little one to row across the Xiangjiang River with oars and send the letter to Hengzhou City as soon as possible......"

Zhu Gaoxu was excited for a while, and while listening to the messenger's narration, he picked up Zhang Fu's handwritten letter again and read it again.

Zhang Fu proposed to let the army of the Han Dynasty arrive at Changsha City as soon as possible, and then he led the army to open the door and surrender, sacrificing Changsha City and the rest of the official army; And on this condition, the king of hope Han kept his promise and recognized this matter as a move to make up for his mistakes.

Zhu Gaoxu had gradually calmed down from the intense mood swings, and he paced around the room with a secret letter. Heart Dao: What promises and make up for the merits are not a problem at all, those are all things for the future! But Zhang Fu must get the water master over!

At this time, the messenger in the study said cautiously: "Zhang Fu also said and said that if the small one can bring back the secret letter smoothly, the prince will definitely have a heavy reward, and tell the small one not to make mistakes!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at him, how could he not understand the thoughts of these low-level sergeants? Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What's your name?" ”

The messenger hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The little one's surname is the big tiger." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Dead or alive?" ”

The Dead Tiger nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You have made great contributions, but what you have done is to carry your head." Go to the North Division to find Zhang Sheng, pass on my order, promote you to the North Division of 100 households, and reward 100,000 yuan. ”

The Dead Tiger was immediately overjoyed, bent down and bowed: "Little Lord Xie is rewarded!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately summoned Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Wang Bin, Hou Hai, and Chen Dazhui to the study to discuss matters.

When Ping'an heard that Zhang Fu had sent a book, his mouth was open and his jaw was about to drop, and he couldn't wait to take the letter from Sheng Yong's hand and read it.

"Hah!" Ping An laughed, hugged his fists and said, "The last general congratulates the prince!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded calmly, he had long since lost the ecstasy he showed when he first got the news, because that period of emotion had passed. At this time, he behaved as if he were lightweight, like a cloud with a light breeze, and like everything was a floating cloud.

He said in a casual tone: "I said a long time ago, don't be anxious for a day or two." ”

Ping'an's face still had the embarrassed smile just now, some happy, some surprised, and a little embarrassed, he clenched his fists and said sincerely: "This kind of thing, the general will have to obey the prince." ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Ping An.

Unexpectedly, Ping An immediately said: "But if you want to talk about horse battles, the last general is still not convinced." ”

Wang Bin snorted coldly: "If the prince is not powerful, can he sweep the world with Yunnan?" ”

Sheng Yong's eyes widened, and he could see that he was also very excited, completely ignoring the words of Wang Bin and the others, he clenched his fists and said: "Once the 'Pinghan General' Zhang Fu surrenders, the enemy's land and water troops will be panicked; ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "It can't just be 'possible'; this king wants Zhang Fu to bring the sailor to surrender, otherwise he will not accept his invitation to surrender!" ”

A few of them were thinking about something.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "I have been thinking about a strategy for a while. We first ordered the soldiers to collect ships in various places and mobilize them to steam; And gather craftsmen to build iron chains with great fanfare. The sin army wanted to make the appearance of building a boat bridge on Dongzhou Island in the south of Hengzhou City at night to cooperate with Zhang Fu.

Then I sent someone again to send a letter to Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng; Tell them to cooperate with each other and 'formulate a strategy' for the enemy: Zhang Fu and others should mobilize the naval divisions on Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River to advance by land and water together with the land divisions in Changsha City, with the 'intention' of destroying the pontoon bridge of the Felling Army and attacking halfway.

When the enemy army gathered near Hengzhou Mansion by land and water, Zhang Fuliusheng convened the generals of the Navy Division to discuss the matter, and suddenly launched a mutiny! Then Zhang Fu led the land and water armies to the south and surrendered directly to the camp of our army on the opposite bank! ”

There was silence in the study for a while, and Sheng Yong took the lead in speaking: "Lord Wang, you are gambling!" ”

Hearing the word "gambling", Zhu Gaoxu was subconsciously stimulated, and a very familiar sentence immediately appeared in his mind, which he had read many times before in order to brainwash himself: Don't gamble to win.

He thought for a while and said: Should it be called not to lose to win?

Ping'an's voice also said: "If Zhang Fu's eldest son receives the letter, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will vomit blood!" How simple it is to dedicate the city, he is the main general of the enemy army, and he always has some henchmen, and he can do it by opening a city gate; You can also learn from Chen Yongsheng, the prefect of Pingle, and ask his subordinates to tie things up!

At this time, the prince asked Zhang Fu to take the lead in the mutiny, and planned everything. When the puppet monarchs heard the news, they must have been annoyed and angry, and Zhang Fu's whole family could not be protected. ”

Wang Bin seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Ping'an, but when he heard this, Wang Bin's face actually showed a little schadenfreude; Even if Zhang Fu was willing to surrender, many generals in the Han army's army obviously didn't have a good impression of him.

Although Zhu Gaoxu's mood fluctuated a little at this time, of course he was still stable at this time...... As an experienced gambler, it would be too good to have a broken mentality before you lose.

"The odds are not small, and the stakes are affordable. Why not gamble? Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

There is no objection to this. The bet is nothing more than the two generals Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng, as well as the already unstable Changsha City and the remnants of the official army and land division; Even if Zhu Gaoxu sold two generals, no one in the Han Wangjun was complaining about them, what did it matter?

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the secret letter on the table and raised it: "Zhang Fu has no way out." If he dares to reject me now, it will be a displeasure at both ends. When things come to such a field, he doesn't want to do it, but he has to do it! ”

Hou Hai muttered: "Lord Wang, it suddenly occurred to Xia Guan that if Zhang Fu knew that he would be a puppet minister before he wrote the secret letter, this secret letter was just a bait......

"At this point, it's too unlikely." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head. He said in his heart: Even so, the person who was put in danger was only Liu Sheng.

There was silence again in the study for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I also want to be righteous to everyone!" But is that possible? Although this matter is not very righteous to Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng, who have the intention to surrender, it can not only reduce the number of battles and casualties of the brothers of the Crime Army, but also have the opportunity to reduce the time to enter Beijing and avoid extraneous branches! This king is still righteous to the brothers of the sin army. ”

Wang Bin immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general asks the prince to give a military order!" ”

Hou Hai also echoed: "The lower officials and others are only the prince's head." ”

Sheng Yong and Ping An also expressed their positions one after another, "Please make a decision!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and rubbed his flat forehead, and after a while, he slapped it on the table and said, "That's it!" ”

"The last general (lower official) and others obey the order!"

When everyone left the study, Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the study. I saw that there were clouds in the sky, and the wind was strong. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly walked out of the room, feeling a little cold on his body.

The world of the so-called big husband is really full of all kinds of power and profit-seeking games and calculations; Maybe it's because wealth and power are too important for men. The cruel things that Zhu Gaoxu did were like the wind in this winter, and he felt that people seemed cold.

He couldn't help but think of the Han Wangfu again. Judging from the official document sent by the post station yesterday, it may be ten days before the family members of the Han Wangfu can go to Hengzhou City. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little impatient, and really wanted to see them immediately.

With warm smiles and gentle manners, although they are weak but warm, they all care about Zhu Gaoxu's love. Zhu Gaoxu just imagined that the ice in his heart melted a lot.

At this moment, Miaojin's voice said: "Okay, the scar forgot the pain, don't you remember how uncomfortable the wind and cold were last time?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Miaojin, and when he saw her beautiful face that was concerned and pretended to be cold, he felt even better, and his heart became completely warm, so he said with a flattering face: "Okay, can't I obey orders?" ”

Miaojin's face flushed, and she almost didn't laugh.

The two walked into the study. Miaojin was busy changing out the cold tea, and said, "Princess, they're coming soon?" The princess repeatedly told me to take good care of you. If Gao Xu fell ill as soon as she arrived, then how would I face the princess? ”

"Miaojin, I've wronged you." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said, "It's all my fault for being greedy and wanting everything." ”

Miaojin froze, was stunned for a while, and turned his face away to be silent for a long time. She finally turned her head with a slight smile on her face: "You are a vassal king, I should have known these things a long time ago." ”
