Chapter 579: Liu Guoneng surrenders
Everyone could tell that Liu Guoneng was looking for a topic, and there must be something to ask Lin Yufei. And seeing Liu Guoneng's attitude, Lin Yufei's courage also increased. So Lin Yufei didn't want to go around in circles, so he stimulated Liu Guoneng and said: "Can King Liu still go?" How did I hear that all the battalions of your righteous army are in a hurry to cross the Han River, and King Liu's battalion is at the bottom of the list? ”
Lin Yufei's words immediately made Liu Guoneng's face stiffen. Jin Xiong couldn't help it on the side, he scolded loudly: "Mr. Lin, we treat you as a friend, but you curse us with words." It's been nearly ten years since we pulled the pole, which official dog have you been afraid of? Are you really not afraid of my knife? ”
Since he already dared to say exciting words, Lin Yufei would not fall down, and he had no intention of arguing with his tongue, but just sneered a few times with "hehe".
Seeing Lin Yufei's fearless look, Liu Guoneng immediately scolded Jin Xiong and said, "Talky! ”
Then Liu Guoneng said to Lin Yufei again: "I'm sorry! Sorry! My seventh brother is straightforward and says the wrong thing! Mr. Lin is not strange! No wonder! Dare to ask Mr., who are your firm and General Runing Wu? ”
Hearing that Liu Guoneng's question was so straightforward, Lin Yufei glanced at Liu Guoneng, of course he couldn't admit it in person, so he asked, "What is the matter with Lord Liu?" ”
Seeing that Lin Yufei did not deny it, Liu Guoneng felt a little bottom in his heart, and he smiled: "I want to ask Mr. to bring a message to General Wu: Although the official army and the righteous army are not separated, my family and General Wu have no personal enmity." Be forgiving and forgiving, and you can see each other in the future. One more persuasion to General Wu, if he really exterminated our righteous army, will he be left behind? Not to mention the matter of the birds' hidden bows, even Mr. Lin and our business will be unsustainable! ”
Liu Guoneng is here to remind Lin Yufei that if he really reaches a dead end, he will break up in two. It is necessary to expose the business with the Runing Army.
"Humph!" Since he can be sent out to deal with the peasant army, Lin Yufei is also a brave person: "Don't be afraid to tell King Liu, the father of Lord Wu of Runing, and the father-in-law are all Hou Ye, and Lord Wu is also a proper little Hou Ye, do you think this kind of thing moved him?" It's just a breeze on your face. ”
Lin Yufei's words suddenly made Liu Guoneng's face blue and purple. After all, they are all born with mud legs and have never seen the world, so their imagination of Hou Ye is like a cloud in the sky. So these words completely broke Liu Guoneng's confidence.
Liu Guoneng swallowed hard, and said hoarsely: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to borrow a way from General Wu." This road money is negotiable. I will not treat you badly, sir. ”
At this time, only money opens the way. Liu Guoneng also had hope for this, after all, Wu Shigong was willing to sell contraband such as weapons and medicinal materials to the peasant army, which proved that he was a greedy man. Therefore, Liu Guoneng thinks that as long as the price is in place, Wu Shigong will still let himself live.
But Lin Yufei shook his head. He replied, "Who believes that?" Even if King Liu's conditions are met, Lord Wu agrees. But let Lord Wu get out of the way, how can you guarantee that King Liu will pay the money? Aren't you afraid that the king will pay the bill? But does the king dare to pay the money first? Aren't you afraid that Lord Wu will turn his face and not recognize people? And in such a short time. How to guarantee? Wait until the matter is settled. Hehe! Now there is no need to talk about the situation of King Liu! ”
Lin Yufei's words also touched Liu Guoneng's heart. He and Jin Xiong looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Or Liu Guoneng is clever, he saw Lin Yufei's confident appearance, and immediately laughed twice, bowed down and said, "Does that gentleman teach me?" ”
Lin Yufei was just waiting for this sentence. He has gone from being apprehensive at the beginning to calming down now. He remembered what Xue Zhinong said to him before he set off: to make more meritorious deeds and elevate the status of the Shanchuan Division.
And Lin Yufei also thought about his future. Anyway, his family is in Runing, even if there is an accident, his family will be rich, so it is better to fight for the future.
So Lin Yufei simply confessed his identity: "I have been dealing with the two kings for so long. There are also some friendships. Looking at the two kings below, they are also refreshing people, so they don't hide it below. It's really Lord Runing Wu's person, and he can talk to adults to some extent! ”
Hearing Lin Yufei's confession, Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong looked at each other again, their expressions were serious, and they immediately turned their heads and waited for Lin Yufei's next words.
"I don't hide and pinch it below, I just want to make great contributions to my children and grandchildren. And now the two kings are given the next chance. To tell you the truth, the two kings have sent us down! Yuan Shizhong of Xiao Yuan Ying, the two kings have always heard of it! Now it's being reused by our adults, and sealing a wife and a cute child is just around the corner. The smaller surrender leaders are even more numerous, and they are all living well in Runing now. And what is the current situation of the two kings? You know it best in your own hearts. On the one hand, the future is like a brocade, and on the other hand, the two kings have to make a decision early! ”
Lin Yufei's words immediately stunned Liu Guoneng and the others. To be honest, none of them were ready to surrender and recruit peace. And they don't know Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong's reputation as "Wu Butcher" is too strong, and they are afraid that this butcher will be killed, so no one dares to make a rash decision.
But at this moment, the curtain leading to the inner tent was lifted, and Liu Guoneng's mother, Liu, walked out.
Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong immediately stepped forward to help, and Liu Guoneng also said: "Mother! How did you get out? The baby woke you up! Let's go outside and talk now, so you might as well get some rest! ”
Unexpectedly, Liu immediately scolded Liu Guoneng angrily and said, "Bastard boy! Although my Liu family was poor in ancestors, they have been loyal and good for generations and have never done anything out of the ordinary. But in the event of a catastrophe, Huzi and you rebelled, and the old body didn't say much. But over the years, how many of your brothers have died? Now that I have this good opportunity to serve the court, why don't you agree quickly? Do you want to be angry with your old body? ”
Liu's angry scolding embarrassed Liu Guoneng. He hurriedly explained: "Mother! Isn't the child discussing?"
Liu Guoneng was also very aggrieved in his heart, his mother's agitation, even if he wanted to recruit An, it was difficult to put forward favorable conditions.
However, Lin Yufei was also very understanding, he observed his words and looks, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Shizhong, Lord Yuan is the head of Qian, and King Liu's reputation is much greater than that of Xiao Yuan Ying, so he is also patting his chest here, how is it also a garrison." Besides, let's also think about our own future! The greater the merit, the better it will be in the future. Why is there any need to embarrass the two kings? ”
Lin Yufei's words suddenly made Liu Guoneng's face look much better, he communicated with Jin Xiong with his eyes again, and then made up his mind: "Okay then!" Later, I will send someone to send Mr. Lin away. But just give two days, otherwise, I'm afraid that things will change over time. Also, the brothers in my camp also need to be arranged by General Wu to be a coolie for cattle and horses, and I will never agree. Wait a while, let Lao Qi accompany Mr. Lin to the warehouse once, what should I bring, Mr. Lin will take it himself! ”
Lin Yufei also settled down after listening to Liu Guoneng's words, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "There is no need for this, as long as there are tokens of the two kings." Our Runing Army is not prosperous, these private wealth, let's keep it by the two kings! ”
Liu Guoneng felt that this still seemed that he didn't pay enough attention to it, so he said to Jin Xiong: "Then the seventh man accompanied Mr. Lin on a trip?" ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! Jin Xiong immediately nodded in agreement.
On the night of the same day, Lin Yufei and Jin Xiong rushed to Xue Yongli's Runing Army under the escort escort sent by Liu Guoneng, and were received by Xue Yongli in the early morning.
Xue Yongli was taken aback when he heard this sudden change. Because of the distance and the urgency of time, Xue Yongli couldn't ask Wu Shigong in Xinyang for instructions, so he could only make a decision on his own.
Liu Guoneng's surrender is huge, both in terms of call and in fact, so Xue Yongli will definitely surrender. But in this way, it will completely disrupt the original plan of the Runing army.
Because Liu Guoneng has been recruited, what about the other peasant armies? It's impossible to give up! But they all surrendered, so who is going to disturb Nanzhili? How did the Runing Army go to Nanzhili to get chestnuts from the fire? Therefore, Xue Yongli must find the most secure plan.
After discussing Zuihou, Xue Yongli reached the following agreement with Jin Xiong: Runing's army accepted the surrender of Liu Guoneng. However, it will not be disclosed for the time being.
Liu Guoneng took his battalion of peasant troops to break away from the peasant army's brigade, first approached the direction of the Runing army, and accepted the control of the Runing army, but it also escaped the encirclement and suppression of the Yu and Left coalition forces in disguise.
After that, under the escort of the Runing army, Liu Guoneng returned to the east of Xiangyang, and then asked Wu Shigong to decide how to settle down. However, Ru Ningjun promised: He will definitely settle all the people in Liu Guoneng's department, and will not plunder the private property of Liu Guoneng and others, and will give Liu Guoneng the corresponding official position.
But Liu Guoneng also had to send his family to Xue Yongli as a hostage. Especially his mother and children, must be in the hands of the Runing Army. Xue Yongli also gave Liu Guoneng a day to think about it, and he didn't wait for it to expire.
After reaching an agreement, Jin Xiong rushed back to Liu Guoneng as soon as possible, although this condition was very unpleasant, but at Liu's insistence, Liu Guoneng could only agree.
On the fourth day of the first month of the 11th month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng took the initiative to ask Ma Shouying and others to meet the pursuing Runing army, and then left the bank of the Han River to the east with his men and horses. After receiving more than 600 family members of all the leaders, including Liu Guoneng himself, the Runing Army opened a gap and let it go east again, and the Runing Army followed closely behind.
