Zhu Linmiao clearly remembered that when Jiang Zhengxi set out from Changting, he only had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, but now he had 6,000 elite soldiers who could defeat Bolo.

He continued to ask, "When did General Jiang add so many men and horses under his command, and how did he defeat nearly ten times the captive army?" ”

"Your Royal Highness," Lin Xuji hurriedly continued, "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, local gentry and wealthy families have competed to donate money. The Queen Mother issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to recruit soldiers, and under the unity of the city, more than 4,000 people were strong in a few days. He couldn't mention that the Empress Dowager Zeng sold the knight to raise money, so he had to say that it was a local donation.

"As for General Jiang's victory in Yanping, I want to say that there is also your credit for King Chen."

"Oh?"

Lin Xuji's remarks had been said several times in the court before, and he came when he opened his mouth at this time, "Your Highness will restore Xianxia Pass, and the soldiers will surround Jian'an, so that the grain and grass of Jianyu will be cut off." Bolo is like Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, although there are many soldiers and horses, but the nest is lost, and the army is immediately disheartened.

"General Jiang took advantage of the false army to cover the attack, broke it in one fell swoop, and beheaded more than 13,000!"

Zhu Linmiao couldn't help frowning, and felt more and more strange in her heart. In this way, Jiang Zhengxi's subordinates are basically newly recruited recruits, and I am afraid that they don't even know how to use swords and spears. No matter how disheartened Jianlu is, he will never be able to kill more than 10,000 enemies in one battle with such "elite soldiers".

Could it be that Jiang Zhengxi lied about his military exploits? This is a common thing for military generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

But these are just speculations, he pressed the matter for the time being, and said to Lin Xuji: "Since Bolo has surrendered, it is necessary to send it to Tianxing Mansion, why do you want to go out of the customs to talk to Dolgon about the surrender?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness," Lin Xuji had already made up, "Although Nabolo felt that he was invincible to the divine power of the Heavenly Army and intended to beg to surrender, he knew that he was guilty of a lot of sin, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive if he entered the Tianxing Mansion, so he begged to stay in Yanping, and was willing to exchange some conditions for his life and leave Fujing." ”

He pretended to be mysterious, and said, "It's just that some of the prices have to be counted by the head of Dorgon." This Bolo and a group of puppet officials may be able to exchange for several cities, so the empress dowager sent the lower officials to Huizhou to discuss the matter. ”

Zhang Jiayu on the side thought for a moment when he heard this, and reminded him: "My lord, is this a plan for the thieves to delay the army?" ”

Although Zhu Linmiao felt that there must be something hidden in this matter, she shook her head slightly, "Bolo has no grain and grass in his hands, so he should seek a quick solution." If it drags on like this, or tens of thousands of his soldiers and horses will all starve to death in a few days, why should he delay his troops? ”

On the other side, Lin Mei said: "Your Royal Highness, the imperial court has sent General Jiang to collect the blades of Boluo's troops, and stationed in Yanping to monitor the surrendered army. It's just that the captives did not starve to death, and the imperial court transferred 900 stone of grain and rice to Yanping every four days from the Gutian area to maintain the lives of the soldiers. ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Linmiao suddenly said angrily when he heard this, "No wonder Bolo can calm down so much and never come to save Jian'an." It turned out that it was my Daming who gave him grain and grass. Who gave the food to Bolo? ”

Lin Mei subconsciously glanced at Lin Yuji, whose face was a little pale. The latter coughed dryly and arched his hand: "The lower official is also to stabilize the thief army, so as to prevent it from plundering the people due to lack of food...... And so that it will not disturb the major events of the court's surrender. ”

Zhu Linmiao felt more and more that this thing was weird.

First, Kang Jung-hee led 6,000 recruits to miraculously defeat Bolo's army.

And Bolo begged abruptly. Even if Bolo was really killed more than 10,000 people, he should still have more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, at least he should fight desperately, and surrender after losing.

And Lin Mei said that the imperial court actually agreed to allocate grain to the "surrender army", which is simply an arrogant thing!

He had a premonition that Bolo must be brewing some conspiracy, and at the same time, the reaction of the imperial court was also very strange, as if he was hiding something, what the hell was going on?

"Your Highness, the lower official is on a mission, if there is nothing else to do, the lower official will leave."

Zhu Linmiao's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Xiangyi, and he looked at Lin Shilang who was bowing down, his eyes were cold. The current situation of Da Ming is fought by him with the blood and lives of his soldiers, and it is related to the future of the entire nation, and he must not allow Xiao Xiao to destroy it.

Although he still doesn't know the answer to this series of mysteries, he knows a very simple truth - the dead Jianyu is the best Jianyu!

What to exchange Bolo for benefits? Not to mention that this matter should be a trick of Bolo, even if it is true, what can it be?

Jianlu and the Ming Dynasty have been in an endless situation, and obtaining a few cities or gold, silver, grain and rice from the hands of Jianyu is far less beneficial to the Ming Dynasty than to wipe out all its tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and the generals of the unified army.

No matter how many cities, gold and silver the enemy gives you, as long as he still has a strong army, he can take them back at any time. On the contrary, if the soldiers and horses of Jianyu are weakened, then everything that they have stolen will undoubtedly be returned to the Ming Dynasty!

No matter how many enemies come, I will only go all the way. Zhu Linmiao was determined in his heart that as long as he aimed at Bolo's main force and eliminated it, then all the tricks of Jianyu would be solved!

As long as Bolo wants to do it, there must be a problem in it, and it must be stopped. He looked at Lin Xuji and the others, such as this so-called begging, especially with a Jianyu in it.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Lin Yuji and said, "Lord Lin rarely comes to my camp, and it's not too late for me to entertain you before leaving." ”

"This ......," Lin Xuqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The order of the emperor is here, and it is difficult to obey it." ”

"Hey, what is Lord Lin polite?" Zhu Linmiao said and glanced at Shi Lin, "Please be a guest in the camp." ”

"Please!"

Shi Lin's voice was like a bell, which shook Lin Xiangji's cleverness, and he couldn't help shouting: "You, what are you going to do?!" ”

The guards behind him immediately gathered around him, drawing their swords or raising their guns.

But the next moment, these people invariably stopped their movements, and stared at the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army in front of them—these men in green uniforms were still riding on horses before, but they didn't see how they moved, and they had already formed a neat three horizontal formations, and the fire gun in their hands was pointed directly at them, and the short sword on the mouth of the gun flashed with a dazzling cold light.

"Lord Lin, please!" Shi Lin reached out again.

"King Chen, I am ordered to go out of the customs and surrender!" Lin Yuji took a brocade box from the hand of his entourage and held it high above the top, glared and said, "If you stop it again, you will be disobeying the order!" ”

Zhu Linmiao turned his head and glanced at him, "I'll go to Yanping to take a look, if Boluo has really abandoned his weapon and surrendered, I will send a fast horse to send Lord Lin north, and I won't be able to delay for a few days." ”

"You ......"

Seeing that he was going to say more, Zhu Linmiao couldn't help frowning and added: "I might as well tell you, for the sake of the future of the Ming Dynasty, what about resisting the decree?" ”

He ignored Lin Xuqi and the others who stayed in place, turned his horse and left, and soon remembered something, turned around and ordered Shi Lin, "By the way, that Jianyu envoy is a lowly person, you have to take good care of him, don't let Lord Lin bother with him." ”

"Yes!"
