"Surrounded? I know!" Zhang Rui felt a little disappointed. He thought Yang Yingju would reveal some secrets.
"You know?" Yang Yingju asked in disbelief.
"Of course, aren't you going to mobilize more than 30,000 troops to surround me at Zhilian Mountain? What does this mean?" Zhang Rui didn't seem to think anything of it at all.
When Yang Yingju heard this, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Zhang Rui misunderstood what he wanted to say, and he was also shocked by Zhang Rui.
"No, Brother Six. You didn't understand what I said." Yang Yingju said again
"Then what are you talking about?" Zhang Rui looked a little strange at Yang Yingju's persistence.
"I mean you are actually surrounded now. Now. Li Shiyao mobilized 30,000 sergeants to come here to surround you." Yang Yingju couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Now? Are you saying this is a trap, a place of encirclement?" Zhang Rui suddenly understood after listening to Yang Yingju's words.
"Well, that's right." Yang Yingju was very pleased that Zhang Rui understood. Judging from his tone and reaction, there should be no worries about his safety.
"This Li Shiyao is really amazing. He values me more than Zhilianshan, which has been in business for so long." Zhang Rui said with some disbelief.
Seeing what Zhang Rui said, Yang Yingju asked while the iron was hot: "Well, Brother Six, what do you think about the prisoner fee?"
"Okay, it's really worth it this time. If you tell me their specific situation and line, I will consider charging you fifty thousand taels less." Zhang Rui didn't say much, and directly tricked Yang Yingju to ask for information.
"Well, Governor Yang, why don't you leave me to speak!" Sitku said immediately after hearing that he could save 50,000 taels of silver.
"No, Xidutong. This is a matter for our two provinces, and I, as the governor, should let me decide! It won't be good for you if it affects your future career." Yang Yingju rejected Xiteku without hesitation.
"You're kidding, you still want to steal 50,000 taels from me, no way."
"It's precisely because it's your matter, Guangdong and Guangxi, that it's not good for you to say it. It's better for me to say no. I'm going to be transferred anyway, so I don't care." Sitku ignored Yang Yingju's meaning and continued.
How could Sitku let go of this opportunity to save 50,000 taels? You must know that going to Xinjiang is no better than in Guangzhou. It is not easy to scrape 50,000 taels, so save it if you can!
"Okay, you two, let's talk together. Each of you will get fifty thousand taels off." Seeing that the two were about to continue arguing, Zhang Rui, who was eager to hear the information, interrupted them and said directly
After listening to Zhang Rui's words, the two of them blinked. Then they all said happily in their hearts:
"This saves another hundred thousand taels, Zhang Rui, you are still too young."
"Yes, more Sixth Brother."
Yang Yingju and Sitku said one after another
Therefore, Yang Yingju and Sitku shamelessly told Li Shiyao's entire plan, even knowing the marching plan.
After the two of them finished explaining the entire plan, Zhang Rui asked again in a confirming voice: "You mean there are three groups of people coming to surround you now?"
"That's exactly it. About 10,000 people from Yunfu and Zhaoqing came from the south, more than 8,000 people from Qingyuan came from the north, and 4,000 people from Yulin came from Wuzhou and came from the west. Come." Sitku said slowly.
"I know, I'll thank you both this time. I'll come back and treat you two to a drink after I'm done." Zhang Rui was really grateful and said to the two of them at this time. At the same time, Zhang Rui also warned himself in his heart:
"Although the ancients are not as good as time-travelers? If I hadn't accidentally found out about this, I would have been surrounded by them like this. Even if my own men and horses could fight, they would have suffered a lot of casualties."
Seeing Zhang Rui say this, Yang Yingju and Sitku both felt that they were missing something, and couldn't help but secretly regret it.
Zhang Rui should have been asked to reduce the amount just now.
"Um, I have something I can't figure out. Can I ask you a question?" Zhang Rui, who was about to leave, was a little confused about Yang Yingju and Sitku's plan to betray Li Shiyao so shamelessly, so he asked
"Sixth Brother, please ask." Yang Yingju replied
"Why are you willing to tell me this? If I were surrounded and defeated, you might be rescued without paying the money." Zhang Rui said it politely.
"This!" Yang Yingju did not expect Zhang Rui to ask this, and then said to Sitku: "Or, General Xi, what do you think?"
"You, you literati just love face." Sitku looked at Yang Yingju's pretentious look and couldn't help but shook his head and said.
"Brother Six, I won't tell you any nonsense. In fact, we don't believe Li Shiyao anymore."
"Oh? How do you talk about this?" Zhang Rui asked as if he was interested.
"If we haven't seen your strength before, we might still have some expectations. However, judging from your strength in this battle. Even if Li Shiyao can really surround you, he may not be able to beat you." Teku praised Zhang Rui, but what he was thinking was:
"You will definitely know about this encirclement soon, so it would be more cost-effective to sell the information to you early in exchange for some money. If Li Shiyao can really defeat you, maybe you will kill us, thank you. If I sell you the information now, as long as If you win, we will have a chance to survive.”
"Thank you very much for your trust." Zhang Rui bowed his hands to the two of them.
"Brother Six, you're welcome." The two of them were surprised that Zhang Rui was so polite.
"Shitou, come here." Zhang Rui shouted to Liu Shitou and others who were standing guard not far away.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shitou ran over and saluted Zhang Rui and asked, "Brother Six, what are your orders?"
"Well, arrange for a few people to take them down quietly and treat them with delicious food and drink. No one is allowed to be rude to them." Zhang Rui ordered Liu Shitou
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Liu Shitou saluted Zhang Rui seriously again and responded loudly.
Although Liu Shitou didn't understand why Zhang Rui was so polite to the two Tatar leaders, since Zhang Rui gave such an order, Liu Shitou would carry it out without any doubt.
Afterwards, Liu Shitou took Yang Yingju and Sitku away.
After Zhang Rui watched Yang Yingju and Sitku leave, he called Chen Taiping. Ask him to call the officers from each regiment and battalion to prepare for a meeting.
Zhang Rui couldn't help but be nervous. Except for the more than 4,000 people from Yulin's side who were far away from the encircled Qing army, the other two groups with the largest number of troops were the ones closest to them.
It's not too late now. If we organize quickly, we should still be able to fight.
As long as one group can be beaten away, the other group won't have to worry so much.
"Well, that's it. We have to fight again before it gets dark. But which side should we fight? The south or the north?" Zhang Rui couldn't help but wonder.
