Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 256 Listen to me, Huang Shu, and everyone will be promoted to rank

this afternoon.

In Jiangxia City.

Hearing that Zuo Liangyu vomited blood and fell into a coma, Huang Shu took the opportunity to temporarily take charge of the military affairs in the city.

It stands to reason that Zuo Liangyu is the de facto warlord of the separatist side, while Huang Shu is a foreign civil servant. It is not his turn to take charge of the army at this time.

However, Huang Shu had not only made good friends with the chiefs of Zuo Liangyu's army before, and made an oath to attack Nanjing Qingjun side together, but also gained the trust of Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng, father and son, and actually became the mastermind of Zuo Liangyu. characters.

Not long after Zuo Liangyu fell into a coma, Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli also fled with the remnants of the defeated generals one after another, causing chaos in Jiangxia City and panic among the people.

At this time, Huang Shu's status was already the highest, and he was quite popular. As soon as he stood up, he won the unanimous support of all ministries.

However, there are actually not many soldiers in Jiangxia City.

The first is Zuo Liangyu's personal camp, which has more than 1 elite soldiers, led by Hao Xiaozhong, the deputy general of the personal camp.

Once again, Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli, the two [-] to [-] remnants who came into the city after fleeing, were defeated.

These two men also have elite soldiers, but none exceed 3000, and the rest can only be regarded as soldiers who dare to fight.

Although Jiangxia City is not small, theoretically it is easy for 5 to [-] people to defend it.

There are tens of thousands of Lu Guangzu's troops in Jiangbei to support them. If they hold out for a few days, Li Guoying, who is stationed in Huanggang in the east, can also lead tens of thousands of troops to help.

Therefore, Huang Shu believes that keeping Jiang Xia will be a good opportunity for him to go further.If the situation is right, maybe Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops can change their surname to Huang.

As for the army of Princess Jian Guo, in his opinion, it might really be like what Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli said, with sharp guns, but the defeat of the army on the left was mainly because of underestimating the enemy.

Now they all know the strength of the Supervisory Army, as long as they honestly defend the city, it shouldn't be a problem to defend it for a few days.

Besides, Huang Shu's purpose was never to really defend Jiang Xia, but to see if he could use Jiang Xia as an opportunity to advance.

As for the actual control of the left army, it depends on the situation.

Therefore, when he heard Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli's generals and guerrillas were discussing whether they should surrender to Princess Jianguo, and Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli also showed hesitation, he persuaded him like this:

"Everyone, not to mention that we still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside Jiangxia that we can call in for support, so we may not be defeated by Princess Kunxing's Supervisory Army.

Even if you really want to surrender, you still need to have a strategy to surrender—if you surrender directly like this, what do you mean by going to Princess Jianguo?The guilty minister surrendered.What future is there to speak of?

Therefore, whether we are fighting or surrendering, we must first defend Jiangxia City.

Guard it for a few days, if we can fight, when the reinforcements arrive, we will have a big battle with the Jian Guojun, with an absolutely superior force to avenge our shame.

If you can't fight, you want to surrender, hold Jiangxia for a few days, let the Jian Guojun know how powerful we are, and take the initiative to persuade us to surrender. When the time comes to ask for the official title, will Princess Kunxing be satisfied? "

Huang Shu, who was born as a Jinshi and came from a merchant's hometown like Huizhou, is still very eloquent.

Otherwise, it was impossible to quickly make friends with the chief generals of Zuo Liangyu's ministries, call them brothers and sisters with all the generals, and coax Zuo Liangyu and his son to trust him.

Now these words sound very reasonable - as long as Jiang Xia is defended for a few days, they will be of great benefit no matter whether it is a war or a surrender.

As a result, all the generals praised Huang Shu one after another, and flattered Huang Shu.

"Huang Xunyong is indeed a scholar, and his brain is smarter than us old men."

"To be honest, today I feel that I have lost for no reason. Being able to defend Jiangxia for a few days is just a good time for that supervising army to see how powerful we are."

"I was in a panic at first, but when I heard what Huang Xun said, my heart dropped."

"It's no wonder that Lord Hou thinks highly of Huang Xunyen. It turns out that Huang Xunya is like Zhuge Wuhou."

"···"

Amidst the generals' admiration and applause, Huang Shu himself felt that the analysis just now was remarkable, and suddenly he felt swollen and buoyant.

He had already figured it out, if Jiangxia City could abide by the rules, if he couldn't, he would have to stick to it for a few days.

At that time, we will talk about cooperation with the Princess Jian Guo.

Now that Princess Kunxing is in charge of the country, she must be at odds with the Nanjing court. He, Huang Shu, also happens to be at odds with Ma Shiying and others who control the Nanjing court.

If Princess Kunxing is willing to give him a high official and rich salary, such as a minister, grand master, grand tutor, etc., he will lead the left troops to surrender.

Among the generals, except Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli, the generals, who had some doubts and lacked confidence in guarding Jiangxia City, the rest agreed.

Especially Hao Zhongzhong, the deputy general of the pro-barracks - this person was trained by Zuo Liangyu, and he is very devoted to the Zuo family father and son.

Huang Shu told him that only by defending Jiangxia City can the lives of Zuo's father and son be saved, so he naturally supports defending the city.

Just when Huang Shu was unifying the thoughts of the generals in the city and dreaming about a bright future, the chief executive Qian who guarded the west gate came to report: "Report to the supervising army and all the generals, the young master is back, let us open the city gate and surrender to the prison." country."

"what?!"

Hearing Mr. Qian's words, Huang Shu and all the generals were very surprised. They never expected that Zuo Menggeng would lead the enemy to persuade him to surrender only half a day after he was captured alive.

Among the crowd, Hao Xiaozhong was surprised for a moment and was happy at first, but then he became distressed.

The little Hou Ye came to persuade him to surrender, which meant that the little Hou Ye and the Hou Ye definitely didn't have to die, so should he surrender?
Huang Shu's expression changed, and he asked, "How many soldiers did the young master bring?"

Mr. Qian said: "It's not too many, just over 2 people."

"More than 2 people want us to surrender the 5 or [-] people guarding Jiangxia Jiancheng?" Huang Shu sneered, "They don't really think that they can open the city gate with the young master?"

As Huang Shu said, he glanced at the generals around him, and some of them looked strange, as if they had other thoughts, and said: "You may have forgotten that Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was once captured by Wacha back then, and was taken into custody. Called open the gates of many cities in the north, and led the Wacha army to the city of Beijing.

But how did I, Ming, do it?Yu Shaobao and other ministers and the Empress Dowager Sun established the Daizong Emperor and led the army to repel the Wacha army. Only then did the great Ming Dynasty continue!
So today the enemy called the door with the name of Lord Marquis, asking me to surrender, so what should I do? ! "

Hearing this, the generals were speechless for a while.

Only Hao Xiaozhong murmured: "But Lord Hou is only a son of Young Lord Hou, and Lord Hou is now critically ill."

"General Hao is confused!" Huang Shu looked at Hao Zhongzhong with a look of hatred, "It is precisely because the Hou Ye only has one son, the Xiao Hou Ye, that we cannot surrender easily.

Otherwise, let the Jian Guo princess easily incorporate you and wait, and then dismantle it to pieces, life and death are involuntary, who will support the little prince in the future?

When the time comes, the princess of Jian Guo will not like the young master, she only needs a glass of poisoned wine and a white silk to kill the young master, who can stop him? ! "

Hao Xiaozhong was favored by Zuo Liangyu and trained as the deputy general of the personal army battalion because of his high military strength and talent for leading troops in battle, but his mind was relatively simple and he was not very sophisticated.

Therefore, Huang Shu's words really made Hao Xiaozhong change his mind.

But he was still a little worried, and asked: "What if they see that they can't open the city gate and kill the young master directly?"

Huang Shu smiled confidently: "No, as long as the Jian Guo princess is not prepared to kill the hundreds of thousands of troops under Lord Hou's command, she will not kill the young Lord."

Hao Xiaozhong is now the most powerful general in the city, after he was persuaded, Huang Shu turned to Zhang Yingxiang and Wu Xueli.

Although the two felt that the Jian Guojun was strong and too difficult to fight, they didn't want to just become generals and lose their future.

After all, they are all blinded by interests.

So they looked at each other and clasped their fists together and said: "I will listen to Huang Xun's instructions."

Huang Shu's confident smile deepened, and he said, "Okay, now let's go to the west city wall to see what the young master said. If the conditions given by the Jian Guo princess are good, it is not impossible for us to surrender now."

As he said that, Huang Shu led a team of followers to the west city wall.

　The third change is to add more changes for the monthly pass of June over 6.

　　Judging from historical data, Huang Shu is a super selfish villain in the skin of the Donglin Party, who has done many hateful things.

　　That's all for today's update.

　　Good night~
