As soon as he entered the tent, Uncle An Xiang saw the familiar faces of the tiger-character flag generals, but his eyes immediately shrank.
Sitting on the main seat in the tent was an unfamiliar face. He looked younger than the others and had a short beard on his upper lip. However, the generals with the Tiger Flag that he saw yesterday were sitting beside him. .
"I've met several generals." Uncle An Xiang greeted him with his hands raised.
Being able to sit on the main seat, he knew that he must be an important figure in the Tiger Flag, with a higher status than the generals he met yesterday.
"You are Uncle An Xiang." The person sitting in the main seat suddenly spoke.
Uncle Anxiang knew that the other party was a big shot in the Tiger Flag, so he did not dare to offend him, so he replied: "It is Uncle Ben."
"Yesterday you came to the camp to make a wish for Zhu Youjian, but he was rejected. Could it be that Zhu Youjian asked you to bring a bigger official to win over them today?" The person sitting on the main seat asked.
Uncle An Xiang was a little unclear about the identity of the other party, but he still said truthfully: "To be honest with this general, I did not come here on His Majesty's orders, but in private."
"Oh? This is interesting!" The person sitting in the main seat looked curious and asked, "So you came to Yuquan Mountain on your own initiative?"
"It's not like he came on his own initiative. To be precise, he took the initiative to discuss with several generals on behalf of some people." As he spoke, Uncle An Xiang stared at the person sitting on the main seat.
No one else in Tiger Character Banner spoke, only the man sitting in the main seat spoke. He knew whether his trip to Yuquan Mountain would be successful or not would most likely fall on the person in front of him.
The person sitting on the main seat looked at Uncle An Xiang in front of him for a moment, waved to the subordinates waiting on the side, and said: "Go and move a bench for Uncle An Xiang."
Liu Heng's bodyguard Zeng Yuanxun brought a bench from the side and placed it behind Uncle An Xiang.
"Thank you." Uncle An Xiang clasped his fists politely, lifted his hem and sat down.
Zeng Yuanxun, who had placed the bench, stepped back and stood behind Liu Heng.
"Uncle An Xiang said that he came to negotiate with our Tiger Flag on behalf of some people. Could it be that he represents the noble families in the capital? But one of the three princes or all three together?" Liu Heng asked directly .
As the other Lord, he was most likely to come forward on behalf of those Lords, and the civil servants did not need to contact the Tiger Flag through these Lords of the Ming Dynasty. They had their own methods and channels.
"It's the British father." An Xiangbo admitted frankly.
There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and there is no need to hide it.
Liu Heng rubbed the joints of his fingers with the thumb of his right hand and said, "I heard that this British Duke is the head of the three Dukes in the capital. Since he sent you here, it seems that Uncle An Xiang is really a representative." My lord, tell me, what does this British citizen want to talk about?"
When the matter came to a close, Uncle Anxiang hesitated.
"What? It's hard to say or you don't want to say it?" Liu Heng tilted his head slightly and stared at Uncle An Xiang.
Uncle An Xiang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The British Lord asked me to discuss with the generals of the Tiger Flag. Can you please let us noble people go?"
After speaking, he stared at Liu Heng nervously.
Although he doesn't know the identity of the person in front of him now, he knows that the success of this trip to Yuquan Mountain depends entirely on this person.
"Why do you think I will let you, the Lords of the Ming Dynasty, go?" Liu Heng asked with a smile.
Uncle An Xiang said: "We open the defense of the capital and let the tiger-character flag army enter the city in exchange for us lords to leave the capital smoothly."
"Be willing to give and give, this is the basis of the transaction." Liu Heng smiled softly and said immediately, "I agree."
"Ah!" Uncle An Xiang was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
It was true that Liu Heng agreed too happily, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "The Tiger Flag army is here to capture the capital. Since you lords are willing to cooperate, I don't mind letting you live. Whether you leave the capital or stay, I can promise to keep you." Life."
"General, don't you need to discuss such a big matter with others?" As he said this, An Xiangbo glanced at the other Tiger Flag generals.
Things went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it and suspected it was fraud.
At this time, Jia Liu, who had not spoken yet, spoke up and said: "Do you know who this is? He is the lord of us people. No one in the entire Tiger Character Banner can speak more effectively than him."
"Oh, it turns out to be Liu, General Liu." An Xiangbo quickly stood up from the bench, facing Liu Heng and cupping his hands and fists.
Nowadays, the Tiger-Character Banner has been victorious in consecutive battles and has captured several provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty admits it or not, Liu Heng, the leader of the Tiger-Character Banner, is no different from the emperor.
"Uncle An Xiang knows me too?" Liu Heng asked with a smile.
Uncle An Xiang stuttered: "Listen, I have heard of General Liu's reputation."
"Since Uncle An Xiang knows who I am, can what I promised represent the tiger-character flag?" Liu Heng said.
Hearing this, Uncle An Xiang nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, General Liu can naturally represent the Tiger Flag."
"Haha, well, Uncle An Xiang can go back and tell the British prince that as long as he surrenders voluntarily and lets the tiger-character flag army enter the city, I can guarantee that you lords will not worry about their lives. Of course, as for those lords and people who can be captured by the tiger-character flag, If the flag is released, the British man will prepare a list and send it over." Liu Heng said to Uncle An Xiang in front of him.
Uncle An Xiang saluted again and said: "With General Liu's words, I can go back and resume my life."
"Then I won't keep Uncle Anxiang here. Do you want me to arrange for someone to take you back to the capital, Uncle Anxiang?" Liu Heng issued an eviction order.
"I won't bother General Liu." Uncle An Xiang refused Liu Heng to send someone to see him off, so he resigned and left the camp.
As soon as he left, Jia Liu couldn't help but said: "Lord, do we really want to let those lords go? Many of these people were left behind during the Jingnan period. They were passed down from generation to generation and a lot of people's wealth and anointing were plundered. It’s such a shame to let them go like this.”
The generals of the Tiger Flag had long heard about the wealth of Lord Ming. How could they be willing to watch these Lords of Ming take all their wealth away from the capital?
"If we can successfully capture the capital and save a few lives, it doesn't matter if we let them go. We can also let them go to Nanjing to fight for power with Lord Ming and those big turbans in the south." Liu Heng said.
In his opinion, keeping these people to harm the Ming Dynasty would be more beneficial to the Tiger Character Banner.
Even if the Tiger Character Banner captured the capital, it did not mean that the Tiger Character Banner would be worry-free. The special environment in the south made it impossible for the Tiger Character Banner army to gallop like this in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and there was still the threat of slave thieves in Liaodong.
Once the Tiger Character Banner takes over the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, it will be equivalent to taking over all the opponents in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.
