Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 62 Unpredictable

"Jincheng Mansion will definitely not be able to hold on. We really need to find a place to settle down. If we surrender to the empire, with the current state of the empire, I wonder if we will accept our surrender?" Qiu Zicheng was a little upset , as if asking himself and the lieutenant standing beside him.

"My lord, we still have 50,000 horses anyway, if we are cornered, we will fight him to the death!" The deputy general wiped his mouth and roared fiercely: "Damn it, Feng Qi is a **** who knows how to fight!" Playing false and playing dirty, if we didn't help him to work hard, why should he sit in the position of the Hanzhong mansion, this is good, but it counts on us, I bah! Let's not help him work hard, what is not a job, Just surrender to the empire, I don't believe that the current situation of the empire is really going to kill it!"

Qiu Zicheng's heart moved. He had already heard from his colleagues in the church that the current imperial emperor Situ Mingyue was in poor health. Mingyue simply let several princes who are expected to become heirs go out to Beijing to handle errands, perhaps to take this opportunity to see the abilities of the princes, and now Situ Jun is leading the army westward, and he wants to achieve brilliant results. , Maybe you can really ask for the other party's pardon.

It's just that how many of the 50,000 people under him are willing to surrender to the empire with him? Qiu Zicheng's heart beat up again, and the number of soldiers he was very sure of was only a few thousand, plus his prestige was usually good, there were about 20,000 soldiers who could follow his arrangement but had not yet joined the Taiping Sect Of the remaining 30,000 people, 20,000 people belonged to the Taiping Sect. It would be difficult to control it, and the other 10,000 people were hard to say.

"He Tong, go and ask Ji Lao Er to come over, let's discuss it carefully, and be careful not to make any noise." With a faint light flashing in his eyes, Qiu Zicheng's expression changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice.

The spacious tent is covered with soft and tight finely embroidered carpets. There are openings on all sides of the tent, and there is a circle of hollow light holes on the top. The tent looks quite spacious, but it is very bright and has a good ventilation effect. , let He Tong step into the tent and feel a burst of coolness all over the body. The military generals sitting on both sides of the big tent with their swords on their faces are all serious. It looked particularly glaring, needless to say, this person was naturally the third prince of the Tanghe Empire, Situ Jun.

"Are you a messenger from the Taiping Army?" The indifferent voice contained no trace of emotion.

"Returning to Your Highness, I am the deputy general Qiu Zicheng of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region, He Tong, who was ordered by the commander-in-chief General Qiu Zicheng to come to see His Highness." It has become a confidant of the empire. I heard that the emperor of the empire has issued an order, but anyone who is found to be a Taiping believer can be executed without a trial. If I come here today, if the other party pushes me to beheaded without asking indiscriminately, that would be true. It would be too unfair.

"Oh? Taiping Army? Yu Yu in the net, why do you want to see me?" Situ Jun still had that indifferent appearance, as if he was not interested at all, but the surprise revealed in his words made him A glimmer of hope was born in He Tong's heart.

"Uh, this," He Tong looked around hesitantly, as if he had some scruples.

"If you really have something to say, you can only say it boldly. Everyone here is my own person, so there is no need to hesitate."

"Since Your Highness said so, then He Tong said it directly. General Qiu Zicheng is willing to lead all his troops to surrender to His Highness, and present the Jincheng Mansion to His Highness as a gift." He Tong looked at the other party's expression carefully while speaking. Variety.

Even if Situ Jun was cold and heartbroken, he couldn't help being stunned: "What did you say? Say it again?"

The generals in the audience were also inexplicably astonished, whispering to each other, apparently unable to believe what the guy in front of him said. You must know that although the Taiping Army retreated, they did so on their own initiative, and their main force did not suffer substantial losses. Relying on the city of Jincheng, and now being able to get support from several other prefectures in Kansai, although the grocery side has the upper hand, it is indeed difficult to say this battle.

"My family, General Qiu, is willing to present the Jincheng Mansion City as a gift to His Highness, and lead all his troops to surrender to His Highness. I only ask His Highness to forgive us for our previous crimes and accept us. We are willing to do our best for Your Highness!" He Tong had already seen the astonishment flashing in the other party's eyes, and he was overjoyed, and he spoke with even more vigor and swearing.

"Oh?" Seemingly aware of his gaffe, Situ Jun tried his best to restrain himself, thinking about the authenticity of what the other party said, "You join me? Of course I welcome you, as long as you can join me sincerely, This seat can not only forgive your previous mistakes, but also allow you to continue to retain your military position and join the regular army of the empire, and become a member of this seat, but how do you prove your sincerity? Also, at this time, you suddenly thought of joining this seat What is the reason? These two points must be explained, otherwise I will find it hard to believe!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, General Qiu entrusts me to report to His Highness, and will naturally explain everything clearly, but we hope His Highness can also give us a reliable guarantee."

"Well, let's make a deal. I will absolutely guarantee your safety and future prospects. As long as you are loyal to me, you will be rich and prosperous." If it is a suitable place, the other party must hope to be able to explain it clearly to himself on a separate occasion, so he readily agrees.

Qiu Zicheng sat on the top with a gloomy face, staring coldly at the emotionally agitated subordinates in front of him, without saying a word, this bastard, he didn't take himself seriously as the coach at all, and he showed his words a little bit, He was strongly opposed by these two guys, and it seemed that he really needed to make up his mind.

"Hehe, you two misunderstood me. What I mean is that the city walls of Jincheng Mansion are dilapidated and low, and it is really difficult to deal with the attack of the imperial army. If we stick to this place, I am afraid it will bring great harm to our army. What a loss." His face turned into a smile, and Qiu Zicheng explained to the two people in front of him calmly.

"Lord Qiu, Feng Fuzun has ordered us to stick to Jincheng. He has ordered the reinforcements from Longdong to go south. As long as we persist for one to two weeks, I believe the reinforcements will arrive. By then, we will still You can attack back and forth, and catch the enemy by surprise! What you just said about evacuating Jincheng Fucheng is tantamount to giving up Jincheng. This is the country that our brothers have fought back with blood and sweat. We must not let it fall again. Fall into the hands of the decaying blood-sucking insects of the empire!" Kong Wu's powerful man looked excited, even in front of the coach, he still couldn't help waving his hands to express his feelings.

"Well, what you two said is indeed reasonable. It was Qiu who was a bit presumptuous just now. As long as we can hold on until the reinforcements from Longdong arrive, then we will be done!" Qiu Zicheng looked sincere and apologetic Explained, "Fan please hurry up and organize soldiers to continue to strengthen the defensive facilities on the city wall. I think tonight will also need to rush to work overnight, and strive to complete the repair of the city wall within two days. In addition, we need to prepare enough bows and arrows and stones. Well, we need to prepare some rolling logs, the terrain outside the east gate is sloping, if the enemy attacks the city from this side, these rolling logs can come in handy!"

After a few words, the two men who were still a little emotional just now were a little embarrassed. Maybe they felt that their words were a little too aggressive. He rushed out to make arrangements.

When the figures of the two disappeared in the distance of the camp gate, Qiu Zicheng's face suddenly turned cold, and his cold eyes fell on another military general next to He Tong: "How is it? How are you thinking, make up your mind No, the patience of the Third Highness is limited, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait too long, and if we don't give His Highness an explanation, it may be difficult to get a guarantee of pardon."

The atmosphere in the room became dull and tense, and the invisible pressure shrouded the soldiers in uniform, "Master Qiu, since you have made a decision, your subordinates should obey it. It's just that the two of them may be difficult to persuade. What is the best way to solve this problem?"

The voice was a bit deep, and the man in military uniform shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference, but Qiu Zicheng did not dare to underestimate him. Seeing through this guy, he looks listless all day long, but the 10,000 men under his command are no less than the soldiers he leads. I really can't see what kind of guy this guy is~IndoMTL.com~ But he can be sure of one thing , this guy, like himself, is definitely not a devout Taiping believer. This can be seen from the other party's usual attitude towards believers talking about the doctrine. It is absolutely impossible for a true Taiping believer to have that kind of contempt mixed with contempt In terms of attitude, although the other party hides it very well, under the observation of a caring person like myself, his every move is hard to hide.

"Hey, what do you see?" Qiu Zicheng didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

"Hehe, my lord already has a secret case, why bother to ask my subordinates?" Easily pushing the topic away, the man in uniform smiled slyly, his eyes gleaming with vicious gloom.

"Really? I think the two of us seem to want to go together, hehe, do you think we are heroes who see the same thing?" Qiu Zicheng is not a good person, he smiled sinisterly.

"Since that's the case, let's proceed according to your lord's plan. Please rest assured, your lord. I will do my best to cooperate with you." The man in military uniform straightened his face and replied solemnly.

When the Fifth Army of the Empire marched into Jincheng Fucheng, everything was over. Except for a very small number of 20,000 loyal Taiping believers who escaped, most of the rest buried their lives in the boundless dark night. The comrades-in-arms who turned against each other suddenly became the king of Hades, who was deceived by Qiu Zicheng's graceful lies. abyss. More than ten years later, the people of Jincheng Mansion still seem to be able to hear the screams of countless evil spirits and ghosts on this night every year. More than 10,000 corpses were buried in the north of Jincheng Mansion outside the city, forming a huge tomb area. Many Taoist masters regard this place as a treasure land of geomantic omen, and many various things are derived from it.
