"Okay, Chengxian, Shizhong is also a straight-minded person. They are all for the emperor's great cause of rejuvenation. Don't take it to your heart." Gaojiling said.

"How dare you, how dare you? General Wang has such a question, and Chengxian is also a pleasure-loving person, so how could he take it to his heart." Li Chengxian said hurriedly.

"That's good. Let's do it. Chengxian. Since you surrender, then help General Zhang and General Guo guard Jingmen. I and Shizhong will go to Xiangyang." Gaojiling said.

"Abide by the order!"

...

Li Chengxian and Xia Guoqian left. Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Guoqian asked, "Are you saying true?"

"What's true or false?"

"About your parents."

"You believe this, too?"

"I can't help but believe you crying."

"My parents died miserably, but they died at the hands of Sun Yuanhua, the Ming army. As they were editing, they remembered their parents, so they touched their love..."

"Chengxian, don't be sad. This time I've been through the trap for the time being. I think only Wang Shizhong is difficult to deal with in the Ming army. The others are no different from pigs. Fortunately, he went to Xiangyang. This is God helping us achieve great achievements and helping you to avenge your parents and parents."

"Well. I will be able to take revenge just when the King Pingxi arrives..."

...

The next day, Gaojiling left three thousand soldiers for Zhang Tingqiang and Guo Peidong, and took Wang Shizhong and 7,000 soldiers to Xiangyang.

Before leaving, Wang Shizhong found the best Guo Peidong and told him: "Pedong, I always feel that Li Chengxian is a little suspicious. When I capture Xiangyang, I will check if there is Yang Chunmei. Remember, before this, don't let his army station in the city, and do not equip them with grenades and mines, especially not let them approach the baggage camp."

"Don't worry, I can save it."

...

Gaojiling was a brave general, but he was not so meticulous and good at listening and believing. Wang Shizhong was the opposite. He was meticulous and could ask for anything. According to Gaojiling, Wang Shizhong belonged to Sima Yi and was too suspicious.

Ma Jinzhong sent them to guard Xiangyang's important land, but he knew that these two people had complementary personalities.

Li Chengxian's plan to surrender was not very clever. If Wang Shizhong was given some time, Wang Shizhong would definitely be able to find out the fox's tail.

Compared to Li Chengxian's temporary intention, Yang Xiren's deceitful surrender plan is very clever.

The army in Gaojiling was still a hundred miles away from Xiangyang, so Yang Xiren sent someone to send a letter of surrender. When he was fifty miles away from the city, he came to greet him in person. He was humble and had sufficient reasons, and he could not help but believe him.

Gaojiling believed it, and Wang Shizhong believed it too.

But after entering Xiangyang, a casual question was made when Gaojiling chatted, but Wang Shizhong was suspicious.

"Xiren, where is his hometown? Are all his family in Xiangyang?"

"When I returned to the general's words, the general's family was from Linqing, Shandong. There were old parents in the family. My wife and son went back to my hometown to serve the elderly. There were only me and three concubines in Xiangyang."

When Wang Shizhong heard this, he suspected that he was sick: "There is no need to look at anything else, just to see if the surrender brings his family. If Yang Xiren really surrenders, how can he not take his family? The reason for returning to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety is sufficient, but his hometown is in Shandong, which is an enemy-occupied area. Yang Xiren is not afraid that the matter will be exposed and the whole family will be killed?"

There was a doubt in the Wangshi Center, but he didn't show any expression. After sending someone to inquire, he found out that Yang Xiren's wife and two sons were sent away the day before yesterday.

In other words, this is a temporary intention.

Fake surrender!

Wang Shizhong made a quick judgment.

I immediately went to see Gaojiling and said after I learned about what I learned, Gaojiling said: "Based on this alone, it is insufficient to determine that Yang Xiren is a fraudulent surrender."

"General Gao, there is a plan among the soldiers to determine the authenticity."

"What's the plan?"

"Wu Sangui's army is about to reach Laohekou, and we will arrive in Xiangyang within three days."

"I already know this and have asked the general to go to Jingzhou."

"Wu Sangui came from Hanzhong for thousands of miles and marched all the way. He would definitely be trapped and short of horses. When his troops arrived at the city of Xiangyang, he could order Yang Xiren to rob the camp. If he really surrendered, he would definitely be able to severely damage the Qing army. If he faked surrender, he could also see the clues."

"Shizhong, we want to go together. The idea of ​​robbing the camp is very good. I originally had this plan, and I threw him a grenade while it was dark, so I would not be afraid that Wu Sangui's army would not be in chaos. Since you are not at ease with him, let him take his troops from the headquarters." Gaojiling nodded in agreement.

"General Gao, Xiangyang is a place where military strategists must fight for. The city walls are high and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not to mention Wu Sangui, and Luo Luohun, he could not do his best without a year of siege. He was afraid of internal troubles. If there were Qing soldiers in the city, they would be troublesome. Therefore, it would be better to believe that they have it than they did not, and he would be more careful."

Wang Shizhong reminded.

However, his words were a bit preachy, and Gaojiling was not comfortable when he heard them.

"Shizhong, you are too suspicious. It's not that I said you, I have fought for more than ten years. I haven't seen any battles before? I can't tell the real and fake ones?" Gao Jiling said unhappily.

Seeing that Gao Jiling was unhappy, Wang Shizhong hurriedly said, "That's right, General Gao has been through the battlefield for a long time and has long since refined his eyes. Shizhong is talking too much, so don't blame him."

"It's okay, it's not your fault. You have good intentions, so go down and rest first."

“Wait.”

Wang Shizhong agreed and retreated.

"This guy is really sick. Why are there so many false surrenders? Since entering Hunan and Hubei, he has captured dozens of cities. Which one is false surrender? It's true!"

Gaojiling looked at Wang Shizhong's back as he was away and thought of it dissatisfiedly.

After Wang Shizhong left, Yang Xiren came.

"General, I have heard that we have grenades and mines. In the battle of Hushishan, the Qing soldiers exploded, and they cried and called their parents. I heard that it was like thunder. It's a pity that I only heard it, but I never saw it. Can the general open his eyes?" Yang Xiren said.

"Hahaha... Xiren, what you said, how bad is the things the emperor made? These two powerful weapons can be used to defend the city. If you don't say that, I will also order someone to teach you how to use them, and also equip your soldiers with all your soldiers." Gaojiling was praised by Yang Xiren's words and laughed.

"That's good." Yang Xiren said.

"Xiren, I will send someone to teach you how to use grenades and mines. You must learn as soon as possible. When Wu Sangui's army arrives, you will go to the camp to rob the camp. While he is tired from afar and has not yet established a foothold, he will be the first to do his family."

"That's great! I'm so grateful to the general for giving this first achievement to the last general." Yang Xiren said happily.

Gaojiling didn't expect that Yang Xiren was not afraid of shirk responsibility, but instead burst into tears. He couldn't help but nodded and said to himself: "Look at the pleasure of others, can those who pretend to surrender have this kind of fighting spirit? Are you too worried about Wang Shizhong?"

"General Yang is such a hero!" Gaojiling praised.
