Chang Yu left and returned, which made Liu Xiyao panic-stricken. He winked at the people around him. If these people really pushed each other without any bottom line, they would fight to the death. If this matter got serious, his court would be disgraced! And he believed that even if 10,000 people in the court were unwilling to negotiate peace, they would not be able to kill people at this time!
Perhaps the imperial court instructed the people below to cause trouble, but it does not rule out that the people below took it upon themselves to deliberately blackmail. If this was the case, they would not dare to cause a big stir and alarm the people above, who would also be held responsible.
The general still had any orders, Liu Xiyao forced himself to calm down and asked calmly. This time Jia Waixiong didn't say anything, because he didn't know why Chang Yu came back. He scolded him, blackmailed him, and what else did he want.
"Do you think you are a soldier or a thief?" Liu Xiyao was startled by Chang Yu's words, and then he said after a while: "I am a thief on the court's side, and I am a general on the Dashun side."
Chang Yu sneered: "This world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the people belong to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chuang is not even a thief, he is just a thief. The so-called Dashun is no better than the Caotou King. Do you still take it seriously?"
Liu Xiyao's face turned red. Dashun was indeed just a fake imperial court. Otherwise, why would Li Zicheng now propose peace talks and ask the imperial court for a legitimate reason? He didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "What do you want, your Excellency?"
"What do you think is the difference between soldiers and thieves?" Chang Yu asked, thinking to himself, Liu Xiyao said, "What do you think?"
"Soldiers protect the family and the country; thieves bring harm to the country and the people." Chang Yu stared at Liu Xiyao and said, "How can a good man become a thief?"
Liu Xiyao smiled bitterly: "I am just a soldier. I act according to orders, and it is up to you." He thought Chang Yu was trying to win over him, but he heard Chang Yu say: "You have self-knowledge, and I want General Tian."
"General Tian is a pillar of Dashun. If you ask for anything, you should go there in person. I am just a pawn who obeys orders. I'm afraid I won't be of much help." Liu Xiyao chuckled, feeling unhappy if anyone was underestimated.
"No matter what the outcome of this peace talk is, please send a message to General Tian. If you pity the common people, if you cherish the common people, if you are ambitious and heroic, and the court is thirsty for talents, why should you be a thief? I will remember your contribution to the battlefield in the future. When we meet on the road, I will spare your life!" Chang Yu said with a faint smile, turned the horse's head and walked away.
Liu Xiyao took a step forward and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am, Chang Yu, the admiral of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty!"
Chang Yu!
That big eunuch!
In the cold wind, Liu Xiyao stood motionless, as if his whole body was covered with ice. The great eunuch Chang Yu who beat up the king of Chuang and the rat scurry across the Yangtze River Baiwang, chased the Tatars for thousands of miles, and made the rebel army frightened!
He actually came to blackmail me in the middle of the night.
He actually asked me to send a message to recruit Tian Jianxiu to surrender.
Liu Xiyao couldn't calm down for a while, but he was very happy. Fortunately, he endured it again and again, and he was able to hold it back!
Otherwise, other soldiers may not dare to kill people, but this eunuch doesn't care who you are, where you are, or what you are doing, he will make you a Buddha with the sword in his hand!
He even regrets a little bit. He was a little pretentious just now. If this eunuch recruits him...
Maybe he will really fall!
Although he is loyal to Li Chuang and loyal to Tian Jianxiu, who wants to be a thief when he has a bright and upright future? Now, doesn't Li Chuang have to negotiate peace with the court and surrender to get a legal status? Besides, with Li Yan, Hao Yaoqi , Liu Tichun, Gao Jie, Wang Tizhong and those beautiful jade are in front, which shows that there is a bright future in the imperial court.
Liu Xiyao suddenly had a strange feeling. No matter whether the peace talks were successful or not, he might not be able to go back. He was not afraid that others would stop him from leaving, but he was afraid that he didn't want to leave.
"Duke, do you really want to recruit Na Tian Jianxiu to surrender, or are you trying to alienate him?" Jia Waixiong asked Chang Yu on the way back.
"There are only a few thieves in the army who can gain access to our family. Tian Jianxiu is one of them. He and Yuan Zongdi are both handsome men. Obtaining one of them is like cutting off a thief's arm, but it is not easy to recruit the two of them. , but as you said, it also means alienation. As long as these words reach the ears of the intruders, there will be resentment." Chang Yu looked at the capital's defense line as he spoke, and saw the looming flames on the top of the city. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Tomorrow, invite Tu Yuan and the others to train outside the city."
"Do you mean to scare Liu Xiyao?"
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Is it necessary for a mere hundred people to go to great lengths to scare him?"
"Then what do you mean..."
Phew, Chang Yu breathed out and looked at the night sky: "Let him respect me like a god!"
Jia Waixiong understood this instantly. Chang Yu's words sounded like extreme narcissism, but in fact they were a kind of strong self-confidence. Now everyone in the government and the public knew that the eunuch of Dongchang was good at fighting, no matter his enemies or political opponents. They are in awe of him, but the people around him, whether they are personal attendants, subordinates or even the prince, respect him like a god, just because they know Chang Yu better!
Only those who know him know how powerful and unfathomable he is!
Therefore, he did not intimidate Liu Xiyao by letting the fifth battalion of Dongchang Guards train. There was really no need to use five battalions to intimidate those more than a hundred people. Liu Xiyao was also a general who led troops and had a keen eye. Terrified! After three visits, he is respected as a god. If he can make him have the heart to surrender, everything after that will be twice the result with half the effort!
In the early morning, Song Xiance got up early. After washing, he made some predictions. The two attendants looked nervous beside him. Is it bad or good for the great military advisor?
Song Xiance smiled slightly. It all depends on God's will. The two followers were confused. Song Xiance called them to his side and whispered for a moment.
After an expensive breakfast, Song Xiance called the shopkeeper, do you know my identity?
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, he was Li Chuang's military advisor.
The imperial court will not send you to negotiate with me, right? Song Xiance smiled half-heartedly, and the shopkeeper Liang's face turned red. I am just a shopkeeper. If you want to discuss national affairs, go to those high officials and talk to me. Why.
Then please ask the shopkeeper to send a message to the senior official. Song Xiance cupped his hand, but the shopkeeper turned around and left. I am just a shopkeeper, how can I know any senior officials? Don't come here for fun.
Song Xiance frowned. The court placed various informants around him but ignored him. What was he going to do? Logically speaking, he had been in the city for a day and night, so he should have come to discuss matters. Is it possible? Do you want to go to the Yamen yourself and ask?
Okay, then I really will go!
After changing his clothes quickly, Song Xiance left the big world and went straight to Daming Gate. He was thinking about which yamen he should go to. It would be self-defeating to ask the Ministry of Rites to receive him, so he should go to the Ministry of War. The history of Shangshu can be gone.
Little did he know that he couldn't even enter the Daming Gate, and no one else was allowed to enter.
I am Song Xiance, Dashun's military advisor. I went to the Ministry of War to ask for an audience with Master Shi. Song Xiance patiently explained to the guards, but the other party ignored him and sternly warned him not to cause trouble and not to ask for trouble.
Song Xiance didn't want to do it. They were arguing at Daming Gate and attracted people to watch. It was quite lively on the three floors inside and outside. They said they were not afraid of trouble when watching the excitement. The people onlookers kept making noises, and the guards really didn't dare. What happened to Song Xiance?
It was not until later that the Jinyiwei appeared, dispersed the onlookers, and told Song Xiance if he wanted to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen for a cup of coffee. Only then did Song Xiance leave proudly. At this time, careful spies discovered that his two followers were missing.
He must have gone to deliver a message outside the city, so he immediately sent people to intercept it at the city gate, but found nothing. Could it be that he was a step too late?
While the spies at the gate of the city were still worrying about gains and losses, Song Xiance was strolling along the east side of the imperial city. Because of his short stature, he always attracted mediocre glances. He had long been accustomed to it and didn't take it seriously. He stopped when he reached the entrance of Dongchang Hutong. Looking inside, I saw that the alley was empty, and there were a few people on duty at the yamen gate in the distance.
"Hey, kid, that's the Dongchang Yamen. Don't be sneaky here. If someone from the Yamen sees you, they'll lock you in... Hey, you're not a kid..." At this moment, a young man passing by The person said something casually, and Song Xiance said, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"Okay, there's nothing I don't know about in these 49 cities. What do you want to know?" The young man said, patting his chest. Song Xiance looked around: "Well, I just saw a teahouse at that intersection. Isn't it better?" I’ll invite you to tea and ask for advice.”
When the young man heard that there was such a good thing, he happily agreed, but then he became a little worried: "Looking at your wretched face, are you trying to trick me?" Song Xiance's face suddenly darkened: "What are you talking about, little brother?" It's so sweet...I am one of the Taoist sects, how can I be that kind of low-level person, but a poor Taoist and a proficient person...Hey, your little brother's appearance is extraordinary."
