Chapter 198 Yellow Turban Please Surrender
That night, a convoy came out from the south gate of Xiping, and was spotted by Huang Zhong's cavalry as soon as it left the city gate. Then, led by the cavalry, it entered Huang Zhong's camp. Because Huang Zhong arranged the whole army's camp and vigil, so he was not afraid of being seen by other county magistrates and their subordinates. After putting down the part of Huangfu Chaobo in the camp, the rest will be carried by Huang Zhong according to Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement, and then a player under Huangjin Invincible will go with him and send them to the people Huangfu Chaobo will send one by one. As for what he wanted to say, it was all relayed by Huang Zhong. Because these people are all confidantes of Kong Ni, and they are also people who Huangfu Chaobo visits from time to time to make friends with, and they all know the relationship between Huangfu Chaobo and Kong Ni, and they all expressed their willingness to help with what Huangfu Chaobo said . As for Kong Ni's personal soldier Xiaowei, the relationship with Huangfu Chaobo has been very good for a long time, so for the huge sum of 250,000 yuan sent by Huangfu Chaobo, he didn't even think about it. Of course, his 50,000 guan must be collected separately.
Early the next morning, Kong Ni raised his account in the big camp to discuss matters, recruiting people to discuss the siege of the city.
After the three drums, all the magistrates, lieutenants and generals came to the big tent. Kong Ni first passed the news that the governor of Yuzhou was killed and the 50,000 army was lost in one day to everyone. Hearing this news, except for a few people who had known in advance, everyone in the tent was beaten to death, and it took a long time to react. All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the big tent. Although everyone knew that Huang Zhong had wiped out the Yellow Turban army, the imperial army only had more than 50,000 people. Several people present thought they did not have the ability to attack a county where tens of thousands of people were stationed.
"Master Taishou, the lower officials think that Lord Inspector and the tens of thousands of troops in Runan will be wiped out in one battle. With our 50,000 troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture these counties. The humble officials think that we should stick to the camp and recruit After the army, make plans." One of the county magistrates stepped forward and said;
"No, Lord Prefect, our army only has 50,000 troops, and we are now surrounded by several cities of ants and thieves. We should withdraw from this place first and wait for the imperial army to come to help us."
"No, no, the ant thieves don't have much combat power. Think about it, Captain Huang with 5,000 cavalry can wipe out tens of thousands of elite ant thieves. Now that all the elite ant thieves are gone in the city, our army should attack the city immediately, and we will be able to One drum down..."
"Absurd..."
. . .
Looking at the county magistrates and county lieutenants in front of them who turned the Chinese army's big tent into a vegetable market, Kong Ni couldn't help but get dizzy, and said loudly: "Okay, what do you think of this place, and what's the point of making such a noise. "
Seeing that the boss was pissed off, everyone in the tent immediately fell silent. Kong Ni stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "Okay, if you have any suggestions, please tell them one by one. Let's have a good discussion."
At this time, the county magistrates looked at me and you one by one, and they all stopped talking.
Seeing that Kong Ni's complexion was getting worse and worse, Zongheng Tianxia gritted his teeth and came out and said, "My lord, I have something to say at the end."
"Oh," Kong Ni looked up, and it turned out to be a strange person running across the world. The image of this strange person Kong Ni is still very good. The village construction has always been the best in Yuzhou, and he has quite a lot of military exploits. In this way, he is still Huangfu Chaobo's brother with a different surname, and his personal ability is also very good. "Mayor Zongheng, what's your plan?"
"My lord, since I can't wait to retreat, and I'm afraid I won't be able to win the battle, why don't you consider surrendering?" Zong Heng Tian Tian said;
"Yeah!" When everyone heard it, yes, everyone was thinking about fighting or retreating, why didn't they consider surrendering?
"That's right," Kong Ni lifted his spirits after hearing this, "Is the mayor of Zongheng sure to persuade the ant thieves in several counties to surrender?"
"My lord, it is more difficult to persuade all the cities to surrender, but the leader of the Yellow Turban thief in Xiping City is called Huangjin Wudi, and the last general has met several times. A few days ago, he asked someone to bring a message to the latter, and his words indicated that he wanted to surrender. It's just..." At this point, Zongheng Tianxia intentionally paused to see Kong Ni's reaction.
"However, as long as the conditions are not excessive, I can agree." Kong Ni was originally a clean person, and he didn't want to go to war. Seeing that he could fight without bloodshed, he hurriedly asked Zonghengtianxia to continue talking.
"However, the other party said that they hope that the adults can recommend him as the magistrate of Xiping County!"
"Bold..."
"Nonsense..."
Upon hearing the conditions in Xiping City, all the county magistrates were furious. You, a rebel, dared to ask for the post of county magistrate, so how could we people be willing to do so. So there was a lot of scolding in the big tent.
It doesn't matter to Kong Ni, anyway, it's not the county seat of Yingchuan County, and now the prefect of Runan hasn't come over, and Lord Governor has also died in battle, so he should hurry up and get out of here. only. . . The reaction of the people below is also a bit too big, it seems that it depends on what the other party is willing to pay.
Thinking about this, he said: "Since I asked the official for the post of county magistrate, what can he explain to the official?"
"The man said that if the Lord is willing to forgive them by chance, he is willing to donate 200,000 guan and 500,000 shi of food and grass to reward the meritorious soldiers. At the same time, Xiping County will follow the lead of the Lord from now on; A city." Zongheng Tianxia replied;
As soon as they heard that there were hundreds of thousands of money and food to be divided, the opposition of the following county magistrates and county lieutenants suddenly became much smaller. Everyone's reaction was seen by Zonghengtianxia. There was no expression on their faces, but their hearts were turned upside down. Nima, this kid is simply a monster. He has such an accurate grasp of the reactions of these people. . . .
Seeing that everyone's reaction to the order was much lower, Kong Ni decided to ask the opinions of professionals first, then turned to Huang Zhong beside him and said, "Lieutenant Huang, what do you think our army's chances of winning the city are?"
"Returning to my lord, the law of using troops is to encircle them if they are ten, to attack them when they are five, to divide them if they are twice as many, to fight them if they are few, to escape them if they are few, and to avoid them if they are few. This is the way of war. Today Although the elite bandits were defeated by me, the city of Xiping County is fortified, with a wall over two feet high and protected by a moat. Although there are only ten thousand remnants in the city, there is sufficient money and food. Your Excellency the Inspector did not serve in the battle. If our army can’t fight for a long time, not to mention wasting money and food, the court will definitely feel dissatisfied with you. If we can surrender without fighting, it will be the best for our army. Good." Huang Zhong stepped forward and replied;
When Kong Ni heard it, yes, if the battle really lasts for a long time, the imperial court will find someone to take the blame. The governor is already dead, and the unlucky one will definitely be me. No, thinking of this, he said: "So, the general agrees to surrender?"
