"Sir, this is too dangerous. If you have anything to say, tell me and I will ask." Liang Daqian said
"Stop saying anything and open the city gate." Feng Jiubao raised his hand and said.
"But, open the city gate..." Liang Daqian said with some concern.
You can't blame Liang Daqian for hesitating. After all, this is a war. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to open the city gate rashly without negotiating anything?
"What? Do you think you can stop Zhang Rui's troops with just this few people?"
Feng Jiubao was annoyed that Liang Daqian dared to hesitate on his orders. With Liang Daqian's knowledge, how could he understand that if the bandit suppressing army invaded the city, their situation would be the most unfavorable.
"I...don't dare..." Although Liang Daqian has never read a book, he still understands Feng Jiubao's annoyed meaning.
Feng Jiubao didn't listen much to Liang Daqian's words, and hurriedly walked down the stairs of the city wall and walked towards the city gate.
"Brother Six, everything is ready. Are you ready to attack the city?" Wang Kaiyuan asked Zhang Rui
"Well, prepare to attack the city!" Zhang Rui replied.
Just when Zhang Rui was about to issue an order to Chen Taiping, the south gate of Wuzhou City, which was besieged by the bandit suppressing army, slowly opened.
Looking over from a distance, I saw five people walking out of the open door.
Zhang Rui was a little confused by this abnormal behavior of the Qing army, so he asked Wang Kaiyuan next to him: "Are they preparing to surrender?"
Wang Kaiyuan looked at the situation and confirmed Zhang Rui's question.
With the Qing soldiers in such a posture, Zhang Rui had to wait for the people on the opposite side to come over and see what they were going to say.
At a distance of one mile, Feng Jiubao and others were brought to Zhang Rui in less than half a stick of incense.
"Feng Jiubao, the guard of Wuzhou, has met Sixth Brother." Feng Jiubao said to Zhang Ruihou with his hands raised.
As he said that, Feng Jiubao also looked at Zhang Ruilai a little. Looking at Zhang Rui's appearance, Feng Jiubao couldn't help but thought to himself:
"Young, so young. There really are people in this world who are better than others. When I was so young, I was just a young man who only knew how to drink and fight, but others have such abilities."
"However, you are so young that you don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. Young people are scary, but newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
After Zhang Rui heard what Feng Jiubao said, he quickly raised his hand to Feng Jiubao and said in return: "Oh! It turns out to be Feng Shoubei. I have admired your name for a long time. I have always heard people say that you are Feng Shoubei and want to visit you. I never thought that we would meet under such circumstances. .”
"Ashamed, I can't say you are famous. But I have always heard others praise your sixth brother for your unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to visit you..."
The two exchanged a few words, but these words made Feng Jiubao feel that Zhang Rui was not simple.
"I wonder what Feng Shoubei means by coming here now? Are you ready to surrender to our army?" Zhang Rui asked directly without saying anything more to Feng Jiubei.
After all, the longer the siege takes, the more time the city's defenders will have to prepare. So Zhang Rui won't waste time on some boring nonsense.
"Yes, but before we surrender, I want to ask Brother Liu something first." Feng Jiubao did not evade and answered Zhang Rui's question directly.
Zhang Rui didn't expect that Feng Jiubao was frank enough to give the answer directly without discussing any conditions.
Zhang Rui felt that Feng Jiubao was so wise that he could capture Wuzhou City without a fight. He was in a good mood and said to Feng Jiubao: "What's the matter? Just ask!"
"I heard that Sixth Brother has always been benevolent and righteous, respecting God and loving people. He has always valued human life, even the life of the enemy. So, Sixth Brother, do you know that if you capture Wuzhou City today, you will not be able to defend it and let the imperial court guard it tomorrow? When the soldiers and horses come back, the people living in the city will suffer!" Feng Jiubao said with a worried look.
Yes, this is an idea Feng Jiubao has been thinking about for a long time. Use the lives of everyone in Wuzhou City to let Zhang Rui know how powerful it is.
Based on Feng Jiubao's understanding of Zhang Rui's information collection, Zhang Rui has some womanly kindness. No matter how powerful such a person is, he will never be that powerful. Feng Jiubao was ready to take advantage of his weakness and put some psychological pressure on him.
According to Feng Jiubao's wishes, if Wuzhou City is massacred by the counter-attacking Qing army, then everyone's deaths will be blamed on you, Zhang Rui, for attacking the city in the first place. It’s you, Zhang Rui, who should take the blame for the deaths of so many people.
If Zhang Ruizhen is as benevolent and moral as the legend says, then he will think twice after hearing what Feng Jiubao means, and maybe even withdraw his troops.
If this is the case, then Feng Jiubao will definitely be praised by the court. He was able to persuade the besieging rebels to retreat with just a few words, which was a huge achievement.
But
"I know! So what?"
Zhang Rui thought Feng Jiubao was going to ask something, so he was always a little confused. But after hearing Feng Jiubao's question, Zhang Rui answered him without thinking too much.
This problem has been bothering Zhang Rui for a long time, but he figured it out after Zhang Rui decided to attack the city.
In war, there are no immortals.
"Brother Six, are you sure you understand what I said?" Feng Jiubao did not expect Zhang Rui to answer like this, which completely surprised him. This is the trump card of his confidence.
"I understand. Since the Qing army will attack the city and massacre it, then just don't let them attack." Zhang Rui replied disdainfully.
"Just speak softly and don't let them come. Do you know how many soldiers and horses the imperial court has? How many soldiers and horses do you have? Why don't you let them come?" Feng Jiubao felt that Zhang Rui's "irresponsible" words Angry.
"Do you know how many soldiers and horses I have? Are you sure I only have this few soldiers and horses?" Zhang Rui looked at Feng Jiubao's angry look and wanted to laugh.
"Well…"
After being questioned by Zhang Rui, Feng Jiubao suddenly woke up and was a little unable to answer Zhang Rui's words.
"Yes, why didn't I think that after Zhang Rui defeated Wuzhou City, he would be able to recruit a large number of people!" Feng Jiubao was surprised to find that the trump card he thought of was so bad.
"No, no matter how many he recruits, they will only be new recruits. How can a rabble be a match for the well-trained soldiers of the imperial court." Feng Jiubao thought for a moment and then said to Zhang Rui
"Even if you can recruit more people, they are all untrained common people. How can they be the opponent of the imperial soldiers? Aren't they all going to die?"
When Zhang Rui heard this, he said happily: "According to what you said, I would have died a long time ago. How could I come here to surround Wuzhou City?"
After listening to Zhang Rui's words, Feng Jiubao really couldn't reply.
He knew that the imperial troops had surrounded and suppressed Zhang Rui several times, and he also leaked a lot of secrets to Zhang Rui. Especially this time, the imperial court mobilized 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress Zhang Rui, but Zhang Rui was unable to fight back.
"Okay, let me ask you again, are you really surrendering? If you surrender, let people open the gates of Wuzhou City and let our troops move in." Feng Jiubao, who was still thinking about other things at this time, heard Zhang. Rui's words.
