When the envoy left the tent of the Chinese army, Wang Yuyou said to Wang Xinyu: "This continuation of Shungong must be a fraudulent surrender!" The Tartars wanted to introduce the vanguard of our army into the city and concentrate their forces to encircle and annihilate them. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How so?" Wang Xinyu asked.

"When the envoy of the Tartar was talking, the old man had been observing the words, this person was speaking very calmly, and seemed to be impeccable, but the old man carefully analyzed, this Xu Shungong wants to take the son as a hostage, how can this son be sent? The Tartars are very strict with the princes, and it is not easy to leave the capital! How much manpower and material resources did Wu Sangui spend to rescue his son, but did he succeed? There is no way at all! This Duke of Xushun is in Xiangyang, and he is about to fight with our army, but he can still send the prince, how did he send it? It must be the Tartars who agree! Wang Yuyou sneered and analyzed.

"The Tartars want to trick one of us into the city! It's all sorted! Wang Xinyu said.

Wang Yuyou suddenly showed a smile on his face: "The Tartars want to use the trick of deception and surrender, and use the strategy of closing the door and beating the dog, and our army will just plan it!" They want to lure our people into the urn city, and then close the jack gate to destroy our people in the urn city. And we will send a group of Qing soldiers who have been captured not long ago, and let them change into the uniforms of soldiers, and enter through the open gates; We mixed in a group of elite among the captives, and took advantage of the Tartars to lower the drawbridge and ascend the city with ropes from both sides of the gates. While we send prisoners into the city, we will attack other city gates, and with a multi-pronged approach, we will definitely be able to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop! ”

In the city of Xiangyang, the Qing army camp.

The chief general of the Qing army, Suke Saha, the generals of the Qing army, Feiyangu, Sunahai, Wohe, Shen Yongxing and others are gathering in the lobby to discuss important military matters.

"Xu Shungong, can your deception plan be effective? Will the Ming dog barbarian be fooled? Sukh Saha asked.

Shen Yongxing turned his head, clasped his hands into fists, and replied: "Su Zhongtang, Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after many years of operation by our army, the only way for the barbarians to capture Xiangyang is to besiege." However, our army in the city has enough food and grass, and it is impossible for the barbarians to surround our army for a year or two! If they want to break through Xiangyang quickly, they will inevitably be fooled! ”

Just as the generals of the Qing army were deliberating, a Goshha walked in outside and whispered in Sukh Saha's ear: "Report to your lordship! The envoy of Xu Shungong has returned to the city! ”

"The old man understands, you go down first!" Sukh Saha nodded.

When the envoy of the Ming army returned to the city, he was introduced to the Xushun Mansion. Soon after, Sukh Saha, dressed in civilian clothes, with only two attendants, sat in a light sedan chair carried by two people, and entered the Xushun Mansion through the side door. However, every move of the Minister Xushun and Sukh Saha was watched by the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society in the city.

To tell the truth, if Su Ke Saha and Shen Yongxing, the Duke of Xushun, deceived others, they might have been deceived, but in front of the Qiongzhou Army, which was jointly built by Wang Yuyou and Wang Xinyu, closely linked with the intelligence system and decision-making system, and had a huge spy intelligence network, these tricks could not deceive the agents of the Ming army at all.

The caravans, porters, boatmen, grooms, and coachmen all over the north, as well as the Qing soldiers, messengers, post stations and other systems within the Qing army of the Green Battalion, have long been infiltrated like a sieve by the Heaven and Earth Society, and the intelligence transmission speed of the Ming army is very fast.

Before the envoy sent by the Duke of Xu Shun left Wuchang, Wang Yuyou asked his soldiers to send the assigned task to the riverside, and then the task was transferred to a fisherman on the Han River, and when the fisherman was selling fish, he hid the note with the task in the belly of the fish and sent it to a caravan; Then the caravan entered Xiangyang City, and the task assigned by Wang Yuyou was sent to the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society in the city.

At present, the Ming army has not yet arrived under the city of Xiangyang, and the Qing army has not yet sealed the city, as long as there is a road, you can enter and exit the city. And some of the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society are also local figures with a certain status, and they can enter and exit the city relatively freely, which provides great convenience for the transmission of information.

As soon as the Qing envoy returned to the city, he was targeted by Ming army agents. And the agents who got the news of Wang Yuyou in advance also strengthened their monitoring of the Xushun Mansion.

"Sure enough, the Tartars are cheating!" Finding Sukh Saha entering the Xushun Mansion through the side door, the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately wrote down this important information in their minds. After that, the information was sent out of the city.

Speaking of the city, after Sukh Saha saw the messenger who had returned, the messenger told Sukh Saha: "Lord Zhongtang, Minggou has already believed in our plan to surrender, and only wait for us to send the prince to the city, and then we can agree on a time to enter the city." ”

After some more careful questioning, Sukh Saha asked the messenger to retreat first.

"Xu Shungong, have you really thought about it, and you want to send the prince to Minggou as a proton?" Sukh Saha asked.

Shen Yongxing nodded: "The last general has already thought about it!" ”

Suke Saha said: "Once the thief discovers the scheme, the son of the world will definitely die!" ”

Shen Yongxing said loudly without hesitation: "My lord, the last general has already asked the son, although the son is only fifteen years old, he is willing to serve the country with his body, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the country!" ”

"O martyrs! Xu Shungong is really a loyal martyr! Sukh Saha sighed.

The large camp of the Wuchang Ming Army, the information sent from Xiangyang City was delivered.

"Sure enough! As soon as the Tartar messenger returned, Sukh Saha changed his clothes and left the mansion, took a small sedan chair, and entered the Xushun Mansion through the side door! If there are no ghosts in it, I won't believe anyone to hear it! Wang Yuyou learned the news and sneered.

"It's still a clever military advisor, and as soon as he saw the messenger, he saw through the Tartars' plan to surrender!" Wang Xinyu said admiringly.

"Duke Xu Shun is different from King Jingnan, King Jingnan's family is the same, most of them are in our hands, Geng Jingzhong has to surrender. And Geng Jingzhong's two younger brothers, who were protons, were on the same page as him, he wished that those two younger brothers would die soon, how could he consider them? So Geng Jingzhong's surrender to us is true. But this continuation of the Gong, surrender is a little inexplicable! Our army has not yet arrived in Xiangyang, and his men and horses have not been in contact with us, how can they surrender inexplicably? Wang Yuyou analyzed, "Even if he is intimidated by our military threat, the old man has to be on the safe side, so that people can keep an eye on him." ”

Another month passed, and in the autumn of the seventh year of Kangxi, the Wuchang Ming army was drawn out, and after the autumn, it went out to attack Xiangyang.

In this sortie, the flagship of the Ming Army's Yangtze River Naval Division was the 200-ton Yuezhou steamer, a new ship that had just been launched, and it was equipped with two six-pounder rifled guns and four three-pounder rifled guns, and the whole ship was covered with iron sheets. The first 100-ton steamship that had previously made great contributions in the Battle of Jingzhou had been named Jingzhou. The two steamships will be the main force of the Ming army's naval division, which will be used to clear the Qing army's naval division on the Han River.
