Chapter 161: Persuasion to surrender
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The handsome young man clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Lord Zhao is worthy of being a county lieutenant, and he will be right when he guesses!" ”
"Sure enough, it's you!" Zhao Ying didn't rely on guesswork.
The other party killed the county soldier, but did not kill his family, but robbed his family, there must be something to appeal, then the other party will find him sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at the handsome young man, and said, "What conditions do you have, say it!" ”
The handsome young man is Liu Xiu. He looked at Zhao Ying with a smile and said secretly! This county lieutenant really has some skills, at least he has a smart mind and quick responses, and he can also do not panic in the face of danger.
Liu Xiu said: "Our conditions are very simple, Deng County. ”
Zhao Ying gasped and frowned secretly, he stared at Liu Xiu for a long time and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Liu Xiu didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Zhutian Capital!" Of course, Lord Zhao can also call us another name, Han Jun! ”
Zhao Ying's heart was shocked, it turned out that they were the Chungling rebels! He asked in a deep voice, "Are you?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "Lord Zhao doesn't care who I am, what I can promise to Lord Zhao is that as long as Lord Zhao is willing to accept our conditions, I can guarantee that Lord Zhao's family is safe and sound." ”
"You want Deng County! What a big appetite! Zhao Ying muttered.
Liu Xiu smiled on his back and said, "Our appetite is not only in Deng County, but also in Xiangxiang and Tongling!" ”
Zhao Ying's mind turned, and he immediately understood that the purpose of the Chungling rebel army was to defeat all the counties around Caiyang, and they wanted to establish a foundation in Nanyang with Caiyang as their heart.
Thinking about this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh and said: "The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and you are waiting for the Lingling rebels, and you still want to swallow three counties in one go?" ”
Liu Xiu walked in front of Zhao Ying, stood still, and said: "The reckless thief has no way, perverse, all the people of insight in the world are now attacking him, I think Lord Zhao is also a hero among people, and he should understand that obeying the way of heaven is!" ”
Zhao Ying narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you really think you can swallow the three counties of Deng County, Xiangxiang, and Tongling?" The strength of the three counties has a total of ......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu answered: "There are more than 3,000 people in total. And I, the Tiandu Department, now have 30,000 soldiers, and it is easy to take Deng County, Xiangxiang, and Tongling! ”
Liu Xiu is staring and talking nonsense, not to mention 30,000 people in the Zhutian Capital Department, and now there are not even 5,000 people, but Liu Xiu believes that Zhao Ying does not know much about Cai Yang's situation, and he will not know how many troops he has.
Seeing Zhao Ying's face change, Liu Xiu took a step forward, and the distance between the two was closer. Zhao Ying subconsciously stepped back, and at the same time, the hand he held the hilt of the sword lifted upward, and the sand and sword were pulled out by him by half a foot. Liu Xiu gently pressed his wrist holding the sword, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, don't be impulsive! The reason why we invited Lord Zhao's family away this time, and we also made a special trip to the city to see Lord Zhao, was to save Lord Zhao's life, and we were also saving Lord Zhao's whole family
Life! ”
Zhao Ying's face was gloomy, she glared at Liu Xiu, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, think about it, if the 30,000 soldiers of our army arrive in Deng County, can we hold Deng County with only the more than 1,000 county soldiers under Lord Zhao?" When the city was broken, how could Lord Zhao still have his life? Deng County was lost, with Zhen Fu's personality,
Can he not resent Lord Zhao, can he let your family go? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ying's face became more and more gloomy. What Liu Xiu said, with his understanding of Zhen Fu, the latter can indeed do it.
However, the other party said that there were 30,000 people in the Lingling rebels, and he really didn't believe it.
He snorted coldly and said, "Your Excellency, don't make a false statement in front of me, as far as I know, the Chungling rebel army is only about 3,000 people, and it has only been three or five days since the capture of Caiyang, how can the strength of the army be expanded to 30,000?" Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Does Lord Zhao think the news he got is really reliable?" If I don't have the strength to compete with the county army, will I have trouble in Chungling? Even if the strength of our army is less than 30,000, it is not far off, at least
It is more than enough to capture Deng County! ”
Zhao Ying was silent. Liu Xiu's words, he believed it, even if Liu Xiu's words were watery, there were only 10,000 rebels in Chungling, and only with more than 1,000 county soldiers in Deng County, they couldn't hold it at all. Seeing Zhao Ying's vacillating attitude, Liu Xiuzheng said: "As a county lieutenant, Lord Zhao is naturally well-informed, and he should be very clear about the world's major events. Now all over the country, the big anti-army has Red Eyebrow, Green Forest, and Bronze Horse, and the small anti-army has climax, heavy company,
You Lai, big guns, five hats, etc., there are so many that they can't be counted, and not long ago, even Wang Kuang and Lian Dan's army were defeated by Red Eyebrows, Wang Kuang was injured, Lian Dan was killed, Lord Zhao thought, can the reckless thief really last long? ”
Liu Xiu's words were like a knife that was directly inserted into Zhao Ying's soft underbelly.
Wang Kuang and Lian Dan were defeated by the Red Mei Army, not to mention the shock of the imperial court, but also the local officials everywhere.
Liu Xiu continued: "The Xinmang Imperial Court is a broken ship full of holes, and it has rotted into the bone marrow, and talents like Lord Zhao should conform to the general trend of the world and stand with people of insight!" ”
Zhao Ying's momentum gradually weakened, although he was very reluctant to accept it, but he had to admit that what people said was the truth. He slowly pushed the sword back into its scabbard, and the hand that gripped the hilt slowly loosened.
He was silent for a long time, raised his head, looked at Liu Xiu, and asked, "Excuse me, who is Your Excellency?" ”
Liu Xiu took a step back, arched his hand to Zhao Ying and said, "Under Liu Xiu, Uncle Wen!" ”
Zhao Ying opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at him in disbelief.
Liu Xiu! Is he Liu Xiu's younger brother Liu Xiu?
Now Liu Xiu can be regarded as the number one person, as the second-in-command of the Chungling anti-army, it is difficult for people to think about him. Zhao Ying subconsciously looked left and right, there were only four people around Liu Xiu.
He couldn't have imagined that the number two person of the Chungling Army, with only four people, dared to enter Deng County and find himself, how bold did he have to be, and how much confidence he had in the strength of the Chungling Army?
Zhao Ying and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a while, he sighed lightly, returned the salute, and said, "It turned out to be General Liu, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Under Zhao Ying, the words are true! After a pause, he asked, "If I lead my army to defect, can your army ......?"
Liu Xiu answered: "I have already said, I can ensure the safety of Lord Zhao's family!" ”
"I'm not just talking about my family, I'm talking about the people of the city!" Zhao Ying said with a frown.
"After our army entered the city, it did not offend the people in the city! The style of our army in Caiyang, presumably Lord Zhao should have heard of it, what kind of style our army has in Caiyang, and it is the same when it comes to Deng County. Liu Xiu Zhengse said.
Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. He changed his words and said, "Lord Zhang is a good official, I hope that after your army enters the city, you can also let Master Zhang go!" ”
Liu Xiu said: "As long as Lord Zhang is willing to defect to our army, when our army enters the city, you can also let Lord Zhang continue to make county orders in Deng County and continue to govern Deng County!" ”
Zhao Ying's eyes lit up and asked, "Is General Liu's words serious?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Lord Zhao cares more about Lord Zhang than he cares about himself. ”
Zhao Ying said meaningfully: "The governance of Deng County can be without me, but it can't be without Master Zhang. ”
Liu Xiu nodded, he had a little more appreciation for Zhao Ying.
Now that the Zhutian Capital Department has just started, it is the time to employ people, he can not pay attention to the virtue of the other party, only pay attention to the ability of the other party, but if the other party is both virtuous and capable, Liu Xiu of course likes it more.
He said happily: "Lord Zhang can continue to serve as the county commander, but Lord Zhao, I don't think it is suitable to continue to be a county lieutenant." ”
Zhao Ying's expression darkened, but he was quickly relieved, and he smiled bitterly: "If General Liu thinks that I don't have the talent of a county lieutenant, I can also go back to Yanqu's hometown to farm." ”
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and said: "Lord Zhao misunderstood what I meant, I mean, with Lord Zhao's talent, only being a county lieutenant is really condescending, and following my eldest brother in the future, there will be greater achievements!" ”
Zhao Ying looked at Liu Xiu in surprise, and after a while, he bowed his hand and said, "General Xie raises love!" ”
Liu Xiu persuaded Zhao Ying to surrender, and he didn't spend too much talk, mainly because the preparations in the early stage were done well.
He took the first step to rob Zhao Ying's family, so that he already had a great psychological advantage before negotiating with Zhao Ying, and at the same time, Zhao Ying's psychological defense began to crumble.
Under the dual pressure of the general trend and the constraints of his family, Zhao Ying's defection became a natural thing. However, as Zhao Ying, the county lieutenant of Deng County, his attitude directly determines the belonging of Deng County.
After talking about the matter, Zhao Ying asked curiously: "General, when will our army arrive in Deng County?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "I will be here tomorrow evening." ”
Zhao Ying asked in surprise: "So fast!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled: "The soldiers are fast! ”
Zhao Ying sighed secretly, fortunately, he accepted Liu Xiu's conditions and agreed to defect to the Chungling army, otherwise, in such a short period of time, he would not be able to find reinforcements, let alone hold on to the city!
He turned his mind and said, "Since our army will not arrive until tomorrow night, the general will stay in my mansion for the time being for the next two days, which is much safer than staying in the inn!" ”
When he said this, it was not only a sincere invitation, but also a test of how much Liu Xiu trusted him.
Now Deng County still belongs to the imperial court, and Liu Xiu, as the second person in the Chungling rebel army, lives in his home as a county lieutenant, and may be captured alive by him at any time and directly handed over to the imperial court for reward.
As long as Liu Xiu was slightly apprehensive about him, it was impossible for him to agree to live in his mansion. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu didn't even think about it, and immediately responded: "In this way, it will trouble Lord Zhao!" ”
As soon as he said this, not to mention Zhao Ying's surprise, even Yan Guang, Feng Yi, Fu Jun, and Jiu'er all pinched a cold sweat for him. Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "The general trusts me so much, isn't he afraid that I will suddenly turn back?" ”
