Xiong Tingbi silently looked at the headless corpse in front of him.

Of course, even if there is no head, he can confirm that this is Governor Dong's.

Then he looked up at the young man standing in front of him, who leisurely admired the Buddha statue inside in amidst the surroundings...

"You are not afraid of death."

Xiong Tingbi sneered.

"Master Jie Yuan, the young man is nothing more than a boatman. It's not that Kaiyuan gave me everything today. Now I'm still waiting to starve to death in a shack by the canal. Compared with you big masters, you're a bad life. If you big masters are willing to exchange your life for my bad life, then what's the harm if I accompany you to the underworld?"

Kaiyuan Bo's deputy marshal of the world's military and horses, Cao Wu, staff officer of the Shogunate Staff Office.

"Hmph, I have a 200,000 army here. Even if I can only use all the bandits such as Miaoer, it will be a big deal, let alone your bad life."

Tang Xianzu said angrily.

"Then come!"

Cao Wu said with a smile and spread his hands.

Tang Xianzu glared and angrily drew his short gun to point it at him...

"Hai Ruogong, now it is not a time to act irritating. Even if you are sad, you can't make trouble. The two armies will not kill you when they fight. This brother, we are all cheerful people. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Yingxiang was so scared that he quickly grabbed him and said to Cao Wu.

"Yes, Hai Ruogong, people cannot be resurrected when they die. The capital is already dead, so you should be mourning!"

Tong Yuanzhen also stopped Tang Xianzu without hesitation.

Then Wu Guang and another general Chen Liangqi also agreed.

Dong Yu's army was divided into six governors of Huguang, Jiangxi, Nangan, Guangxi, Yunyang, and Pianyuan. Each governor's area had one general, as well as the Dingsheng Army of Huguang Provincial Army, Chang'an Army of Jiangxi Provincial Army, Bianyuan Army of Bianyuan Army, Zhongwu Army of Guangxi Provincial Army, and Navy Army. However, the four generals who have arrived here are the four generals, and there are two left behind. It is probably not possible to arrive today. The troops of Qi Jin and others who were originally confronting each other have begun to pursue, and Ma Rong, who was advancing from Xuancheng, is also approaching.

Zhu Wenda's troops in Jiangbei also attacked.

But his place is better because Chen Jian's troops were threatening Chuzhou, but Chen Jian's troops could not have crossed Zhu Wenda to rescue him.

Of course, it was impossible.

There is no such good thing. It is the true nature of our Ming Dynasty official army if we are not moving when we are in trouble.

So for the Fourth General, Governor Dong will die if he dies. Anyway, he is defeated in such a crushing situation, and he will be dismissed from his post and retired after returning home. He will be praised for his murder. But the most important thing for the living is to live. Since Yang Feng sent someone to negotiate, it is possible to negotiate. Of course, this opportunity must be seized. Although Kaiyuan Bo is indeed cruel to kill those civil officials, he is really useless to tell the generals. Just look at the generals who follow him. When he came to participate in the siege of Nanjing before, these generals did lack understanding of him.

But now it's different.

I understand very well.

After all, these generals, Deng Zilong and Zhu Wenda are familiar with each other, and many of them have even fought together.

It's almost a year, so it would be strange if they don't have any contact with each other.

However, it is still not possible to surrender to Yang Feng. It is not that his hometown is in the Hongguang controlled area. That is not important. Deng Zilong's family was not affected. The gentry was not stupid. It is easy to kill his whole family, but if he fails in the end, it is also easy to kill his whole family.

The families of Zhu Wenda and others were also not affected.

All are measured.

I will stay at the forefront of my life and I want to see you in the future.

The act of killing the Mei family like Xiong Tingbi is truly ignorant.

The reason why these generals were unwilling to surrender was that they could not afford to pay their wages under Yang Feng.

It's very happy to be with Hongguang.

In less than a year, which general has not earned hundreds of thousands of taels?

If possible, of course they are willing to keep making money like this, but the premise of making money is to have the life to continue making money and to protect their core servants. Therefore, it is impossible to fight to the death, let alone with their military minds, they cannot win this battle at all, and Yang Feng doesn't need to fight. Just being trapped can trap them until they collapse.

Negotiation is the best.

Cao Wu looked at both sides...

"Hurry, show your seat to Brother Cao!"

Chen Liangzu shouted.

A soldier quickly brought the chair and Cao Wu sat down with satisfaction.

Xiong Tingbi looked at these bastards hatefully, but now he had no choice. He actually really wanted to kill Cao Wu and fight to the death.

This opportunity is very good.

They still have more than 100,000 troops eager to go home.

Yang Feng's total force can be used here is still no more than 100,000. In the previous battles, he also evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army. It is indeed much stronger than them, but it is not really crushing them. Even if it is still a failure in a real battle, it will definitely damage the Red Turban Army. You must know that they are not only on this road, but also have a 100,000 army of Chen Jian's troops in Yangzhou. If the Red Turban Army is severely damaged here, Chen Jian's troops are fully capable of giving him another fatal blow, and it is not impossible to capture Nanjing in one fell swoop.

After all, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Nanjing for such a decisive opportunity?

Of course, they will suffer heavy casualties and may even die in battle, but their merits will last forever.

However……

What kind of soldiers are these bastards?

Why can't you fight with that demon?

He looked at the generals with grief and anger, who were all smiling around Cao Wu, and even the gentry came over.

They are even more shameless and have already openly flattered.

"The commander-in-chief means that everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, and it is just because of some messy reasons that he has reached the battlefield of mutual enemies. However, this kind of war is not a national war that will never end. We just need to distinguish between strength and weakness, and there is no need to live to the death."

Cao Wu said slowly.

Then he took the teacup from Zhang Xiucai and nodded to express his gratitude.

"Kaiyuan Bo is benevolent and righteous, and he is deeply aware of the great righteousness, so he should be like this!"

Zhang Xiucai raised his thumb with sincere respect.

The generals looked at each other.

"Of course, the Grand Marshal did not insist on surrendering you."

Cao Wu held the teacup and said to them as if he had a heart of touch.

The generals smiled immediately.

"You can leave, but you must hand over your armor, weapons, ammunition, etc., but your warships must also be left behind, so it is definitely not possible to go back on these warships. You must also find a way for yourself. During this period, we will not attack you. On the contrary, you will also invite your soldiers to visit various places. After all, you have no food here."

Cao Wu said.

"Tong doesn't understand a little."

Tong Yuanzhen said vigilantly.

"General Tong, don't worry about anything.

You should know that the Grand Marshal can ask His Majesty to set up war crimes and punish those who kill innocent people indiscriminately, how could they kill you?

If you more than 100,000 people gather here, the local people can't stand it!"

Cao Wu said.

"Yes, that's true!"

Zhang Xiucai said immediately.

Cao Wu nodded to him with satisfaction, and Zhang Xiucai was flattered.

"Zhang Maocai is right. It not only disturbs the local people, but also has no food. The generals can stay here with their personal soldiers, or even leave early. These soldiers will first go to various places for a tour, go to the people's houses to eat, and then wait to leave in batches. As for your personal belongings, this is your own, and you are not considered a captive who surrendered. Everyone is brothers, so it would be too much to talk about this. It is to put down your weapons and go wherever you love to go on the land of the Ming Dynasty as the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Cao Wu said.

Let them visit the field and visit the militia area in Nanjing. It goes without saying what kind of eyes they will look at the local tyrants and evil gentry after they go back.

The generals looked at each other.

Is there such a good thing?

"Brother Cao, do you take everything you said seriously?"

Wu Guang asked carefully.

"Gen. Wu, you just say who you can trust? Let's ask him to guarantee you, how about the veteran General Deng Zilong? How about the veteran General Zhu Wenda? Otherwise, let Your Majesty give you an imperial edict? How did the general treat the captives of the Changsheng Army in Danyang? I think you would not know that the general in Huzhou was released. Do you think you are even older than Song Yingchang?

This is the rule of our Red Turban Army: we will not kill the guns, and we will treat the prisoners with preferential treatment. Since you have seized the guns, we will certainly not kill them.

If you don’t let you go, can’t you keep it?”

Cao Wu said.

"Kaiyuan Bo is benevolent and righteous!"

Li Yingxiang sighed.

Then the other generals nodded one after another, and the gentry flattered him, and Xiong Tingbi next to him was almost furious.

"You have spent nearly 10 million yuan in three savings of money and food in less than half a year. Now the enemy is in front of you. You don't want to kill the enemy to repay the elders in your hometown. Instead, you want to use your elders to curry blood and sweat to charm the enemy. Even if you go back, how can you face your hometown?"

He roared behind the crowd.
