The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Wang Ti Center was getting more and more irritable. He paced back and forth in the room, sometimes going to the door to meditate, and then going to the window and frowning. Liu Xi and Wang Zamao didn't dare to speak. The two looked at each other speechless.
After a long time, Wang Tizhong suddenly turned around and asked Wang Zamao: "What are your plans, whether to surrender or not?"
Wang Zamao was startled, then quickly stood up and patted his chest and said: "Of course the little one will follow the general. If you say you want to leave, we will leave. If you say you want to beat us, we will fight for it. Anyway, I am feeling angry in my heart." !Although it gives them a little advantage in the fight now, the general's troops are still afraid of his mother's balls. The eunuch's rumored power is true, but I don't know if it is true or not." Seeing him open his teeth and claws while glaring angrily, he looked very angry in his heart.
"You didn't tell me just now that the eunuch is so murderous and makes his heart tremble just by looking at you. Why don't you know whether it's true or not?" Liu Xi teased from the side, and Wang Zamao became anxious again: "Just think of him as powerful, but he can't. How many soldiers and horses he can bring from Beijing City, he has to rely on the officers and soldiers here in Nanjing... The officers and soldiers here hehe..."
Liu Xi was about to answer again but was stopped by Wang Tizhong who raised his hand: "The war in the north has just ended and the troops and horses in Nanjing have only been mobilized in the past few days. It means that the eunuch has only been in Nanjing for a few days, but he can be in Nanjing in just a few days." He was able to set up such a trap and easily take Wuhu City away from you. Not to mention his combat power, even this method is beyond our reach."
"What does the general mean...do you have...an idea?" Liu Xi frowned.
Wang Tizhong walked to the door and let the rain wet his clothes: "Wang Chuang is both wise and brave. His advisers and generals are like clouds. Even if he gathers hundreds of thousands of people, he can be defeated and retreat to the other side of the Yellow River... How far can we go?"
Liu Xi lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Wang Zamao was overjoyed. If he was willing to surrender, it would save him trouble, but he said: "The eunuch said that if you are willing to surrender, you will be treated as a soldier, but in my opinion It is not easy to be an officer. Those dog officers look down upon us and look down upon us. Besides, it is our rebel army’s world now. King Chuang has established the Dashun Kingdom in Xi’an. As long as we capture the city of Nanjing later, , How can I become a prince? The officials in Dashun are more carefree than those in Ming Dynasty."
"Do you really think so?" Wang Tizhong raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of a smile. Wang Zamao hummed and shrugged: "Anyway, General, I will follow you wherever you go, and I will follow you."
Wang TiZhong nodded slightly and looked at Liu Xi.
"Whether you surrender or not is up to you, General. But please think twice before proceeding. After all, one step is wrong and the other is wrong. It seems that our momentum is pretty good at the moment." Liu Xi pondered for a moment and said. Wang Tizhong raised his head and sighed: "Right now... hum, it's good now, but what about the future? We have spent several years in the Deana Mountains that are worse than mice. I'm afraid no one wants to go back, but is it up to us? Now it seems that he is invincible and can kill the Nanjing city in one breath, but in fact, there are no soldiers from the imperial court to stop him in the past few months. Now the officers and soldiers are here, it is still the eunuch who is known as the massacre... Bai Wang can deal with Zuo Liangyu with ease, but against the enemy This will allow King Chuang to escape from the eunuch in embarrassment, can he hold on?"
Liu Xi stopped talking, and Wang Zamao saw that although Wang Tizhong was hesitant, he was actually willing to surrender, so he said again: "Li Yan is here too!"
"He's here?" Both Wang Tizhong and Liu Xi were startled and thought this was incomprehensible. Li Yan only joined Li Zicheng's think tank in the 13th year of Chongzhen. Although it only took three or four years, he became famous and admired by the bandits. , even though Bai Wang, Wang Ti and others were not familiar with him, they knew that he had extraordinary abilities. However, they did not know that Li Yan had already surrendered to the court at this time. After all, the information technology in this era was too backward, and it was embarrassing for his advisers to surrender. Li Zicheng would not publicize matters that affected the morale of the army, not to mention that the two places were thousands of miles apart, and Bai Wang was also vigorously attacking the city and plundering the territory. At most, he heard about the general battle situation in the north, but he didn't know the details.
But after being startled, he immediately realized what Wang Zamao had done after hearing this for the first time. Li Yan must surrender, otherwise how could he come with the officers and soldiers.
"He actually fell. It seems that King Chuang's losses this time are not small!" Wang Tizhong took a long breath, sat down and stared at the oil lamp on the table with a wry smile and shook his head. Wang Zamao added some more oil: "Not only Li Yan, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tiren, and Bai Guangen were said to have been killed."
ah! The king's body was stunned for a long time, and the bitterness on his face became more intense: "Hao Yaoqi, who was so loyal to King Chuang, actually surrendered... How big an official did the imperial court give him?"
Wang Zamao shook his head: "I don't know the details. I don't know what generals the eunuch said, but he said that Li Yan has been named one of the eight pillar states by the imperial court. It seems very powerful."
With a bang, Wang Tizhong punched the table hard: "Zhu Guo! Not only awesome, but really awesome!" He looked at Liu Xi and Wang Zamao: "I have decided to surrender! What are your plans!"
Wang Zamao said quickly: "I will follow you, General."
"What about you?" Wang Tizhong looked at Liu Xi: "Everyone has his own ambitions. We are like brothers. Even if you don't surrender, I won't kill you and let you go."
Liu Xi shook his head gently: "Since we are brothers, how could I abandon the general? You will be followed by mountains of swords and fire, but I always feel that surrendering like this is too hasty. We just surrendered in fear after hearing the name." Isn’t that too idiotic? Furthermore, although we don’t have King Chuang with strong soldiers and horses, we may not be able to deal with him. There are mountains, forests and rivers everywhere here. The eunuch is good at defending the city in the field, so he may not be able to deal with us. In the worst case, we can retreat to Anqing. As for the defense, even in the worst case, we have to give it a try. If we really can’t bear it, it won’t be too late to lower it.”
Wang Tizhong nodded slightly after hearing this, but Wang Zamao cursed in his heart, "You're just drafting, you're a duck with a mouth in sight, you damn insist on causing trouble, if you mess with me, I'll kill you too!"
"What you mean is that we give him a try here first. If he is vulnerable, we will take advantage of the victory. If he loses, we will lower him. But by then, it will probably be worthless if we lower him again." Wang Tizhong was a little worried. .
Liu Xi chuckled: "Since the price is about to drop, there's not much we can do about it. Not only will the price not go down, but we also have to increase the price." Then he whispered something to Wang TiZhong. Wang TiZhong's face changed greatly, and Wang Zamao was vaguely aware of it. Hear Bai Wang's name.
"The so-called non-toxic and non-husband, if it is true then, why not be more thorough when surrendering? Otherwise, you will still have to fight hard after surrendering. How about understanding it first?"
"This matter is negotiable, this matter is negotiable!" Wang Tizhong looked at Wang Zamao as he spoke: "If today's incident reaches the ears of the fourth person, you and I will die without a burial place!" Wang Zamao quickly raised his hand. He swore: "Of course this little one knows. How dare you tell others about losing your head! Besides, I will follow you even to death, so naturally I don't dare to talk nonsense. It won't do any good to me if I tell you." ah!"
Wang Tizhong hummed: "Right now, regardless of whether we surrender or not, we have to let the eunuch learn our skills. Even if he surrenders in the future, we won't be underestimated by him!" Then he glanced at Wang Zamao: "You can find us tomorrow. When I got the opportunity to reply to him, I said that I intend to surrender, but I must first meet with him to discuss it in detail, and then you can withdraw Tang Hu and bring the officers and soldiers over."
"Is the general planning to ambush the eunuch?" Wang Zamao chuckled, and Wang Tizhong raised the corner of his mouth: "He can plot against you, why can't I plot against him? If he is surrounded and killed, hey, then Nanjing will really be destroyed. It's possible, then we don't have to be submissive to others. The worst thing the imperial court can do is to recruit and surrender again."
It was getting daybreak and the rain was getting lighter. The three members of the royal body in the room were still lowering their heads and discussing secretly.
