Chapter 590 Lobbyist Li Yan
"Who is willing to go to Wuweibo Camp to serve as a lobbyist?" Li Zicheng looked around and his eyes fell on Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing didn't dare to speak anymore. He was afraid that he would be pushed out and killed after he went to the officers and soldiers. The two armies fought and did not kill him, but what was Niu Jinxing? He was a juren who actually surrendered to the bandits. This absolutely gentle and scum was intolerable by the gentry class. The Ming general on the opposite side killed him, and taking his head was definitely a great achievement.
It was Li Yan who stood up: "King of Chuang, the students are willing to go!"
"Okay!" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, "Get back from the left and right, and explain to Mr. Li if you have something to do!"
"No!" The left and right retreated one after another.
Li Zicheng and Li Yan were only left in the central army's tent. Li Zichengcai told Li Yan softly that Li Guodong had helped the peasant army, saying that although this person was a general of the court, he was still saved. Perhaps he could convince him to join the peasant army, so the rebel army would have a brave general and would soon win the world.
"Is this happening?" Li Yan was stunned.
"Yes, but this person killed the rebel leader Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, so this person couldn't say whether he was an enemy or a friend." Li Zicheng said.
"King of Chuang, after all, he is from the court."
"Maybe it's his duty. Mr. Li, it's better to be careful when you go to the enemy camp alone."
"Please rest assured that King Chuang is your description of Wuweibo, the students think that since the student is on the enemy camp, Wuweibo will definitely not kill the students." Li Yan said. He had guessed why Li Guodong secretly helped the rebels in the most dangerous time, but he also participated in the act of suppressing the rebels, which shows that this person sympathized with the suffering people, but the rebels did some things unreasonable. He was also a court official, so he naturally wanted to kill a few people. On the one hand, he helped the people not suffer harm, and on the other hand, he could also explain to the court. However, Li Yan could not say these words in front of King Chuang.
In the evening of that day, Li Yan brought only two personal guards disguised as civilians to the Jinyang Army camp stationed on the Yellow River embankment.
When I approached the outside of the Jinyang Army camp, I saw a large area of unwalking mud in front. This place was originally a dry dry land, but now it has turned into mud, which must have been made by man. There is mud around it, and only one road can lead to the Jinyang Army camp. Moreover, this road is very strange. There is a passage in the middle, surrounded by solid walls on both sides, with rammed earth layers inside the walls and covered with stones on the outside. The length of this passage is about a hundred steps.
Li Yan understood what the purpose of the walls on both sides of the road were. He gasped: "I'm afraid the shells are not powerful enough, so I want one shell to penetrate a line! It's so vicious!"
This design allows the attacking party to enter from the only channel. At the end of the channel, the Ming army built artillery bases. Once the attacking party enters the channel, a shell of the red cannon hits, which is enough to penetrate from the beginning to the end! The two sides are blocked, so that the shells that have changed their trajectory after piercing through the human body can hit the wall, and then bounce back and continue to rush forward.
If there is no wall to stop the shell and the shell is not restricted. After piercing through a few people, it will change its trajectory and roll into the mud, and the shell will lose its function.
After walking through this 100-step passage, the front suddenly became clear. There was no wall blocking it, and there were only a hundred steps left to the military gate. Here we entered the range of shotguns, so there was no need to use walls to restrict the trajectory of the shells.
Li Yan and others walked forward for more than ten steps, and someone in front of them ordered them to stop: "Stop! Who is coming? This is a military aircraft important place, and no idle people are allowed to enter! Then walk forward and fire the gun!"
"Mr. In front of you, don't fire the gun! We are here to deliver a letter to Wuweibo. I hope the military master will inform you." The guard behind Li Yan shouted loudly to the village gate.
When I heard that it was "coming from over there", the soldiers guarding the gate knew that they were envoys sent by the Break Army, so someone replied: "Please wait a moment, we will report to Master Bo!"
When Li Guodong heard that it was an envoy sent by the treasury army, he said to the soldiers who reported the news: "Let them come in, but be careful to cover their eyes and not let them spy on the layout in my camp."
The soldiers opened the gate of the village and put Li Yan and his two committee guards in. Then someone came out and searched them first, found that they were not carrying any dangerous items, so they blindfolded them, and then took them to Li Guodong's central army camp and took off the black cloth that blindfolded them.
"Who are the messengers of you three?" The guards at the door stopped Li Yan and the others.
Li Yan stood up and said, "Student is!"
"Come in with us, the other two are waiting outside." The guards at the door came up again, searched Li Yan's body, and found no dangerous items before putting him in.
"Who is here!" Li Guodong lay halfway on a tiger-skin chair, his feet raised on the table, looking down at the scholar who was walking in proudly, and saw the young scholar growing up with a handsome face. He sighed in his heart: What a handsome little scholar.
In fact, when he saw the young and handsome appearance of the scholar, he had already guessed that this handsome scholar was mostly Li Yan. Because Song Xiance was short and short, Niu Jinxing was also quite vulgar; Gu Junen had not joined the trespassing army at this time, so the greatest possibility of this strategist was Li Yan.
Li Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Student Li Yan, have met Wu Weibo."
"So it's Mr. Li!" Li Guodong snorted, "You are a scholar and have already achieved fame and reputation as a juren. Why should you follow the thief?"
Li Yan replied with a righteous spirit: "The disaster has been caused by heaven, and the people can no longer survive, but the government still collects money and grain! The students took out money and grain to help the people, but the remaining amount in the family was insufficient, so the students had to persuade the gentry to release grain and provide disaster relief, but they offended the gentry because of this. They colluded with the magistrate and fabricated crimes to arrest the students and were imprisoned. Fortunately, the Hongniang rescued them and then defected to the King of Chuang."
Li Guodong took his foot back and sat upright at Li Yan: "In this way, it is the gentry in the county who is rich and unkind. Mr. Li was forced to surrender to the rebel army! However, Li advised him, hoping that Mr. Li could remember it in his heart: Li Zicheng is not a good thing. If one day in the future, Mr. Li can come to join my uncle."
Li Yan raised his head high and sneered: "Your Majesty, don't bother! The King of Chuang is kind to the people and is deeply supported by the people. Students will not betray the King of Chuang!"
"It is rare that Mr. Li is so loyal to the King of Chuang. If nothing happens, then Li will send you back."
Li Yan said: "The King of Chuang came with a million troops, and it was unstoppable. Now the court is corrupt and incompetent, and the people cannot survive. The officials and gentry are extremely debauchery! Why does General Li still have to maintain such a court? It is better to join the King of Chuang and conquer the world together with the King of Chuang."
"Hahaha!" Li Guodong laughed, "The King of Chuang has no ambition and no emperor's ability, so he is not as good as Chongzhen! He is destined to be unable to succeed and will only bring disaster to the world! Just for this, Li cannot betray the court and join the King of Chuang! The court is incompetent, and the world is dark. Li is committed to establishing a new order, but it is a pity that the King of Chuang is unreliable! If the King of Chuang is a true dragon emperor like Emperor Gaozu of Han or Taizu of this dynasty, Li will definitely join him, but it's a pity that he is not!"
"In order to save the people of the world, why did General Li say that he could not become Emperor Gaozu of Han or Emperor Taizu of Ming?"
"In order to save the people of the world, I don't know what kind of talent is for the King of Chuang. The people cannot survive anymore, and rebellion is the right thing to do. It is understandable that officials force the people to rebel. But after rebellion, they should not, but they harm the people! Mr. Li, how long has the King of Chuang been engaged in the affairs of the king of Chuang? It has been twelve years since the second year of Chongzhen, but they don't even have their own territory! I am still a thief. Can Li still expect him to conquer the world and re-establish a new order? He will give him any hope at all!"
"General Li, there are students here, and military commanders Niu and military commanders Song. The students believe that the King of Breaking the King will achieve great achievements!"
Li Guodong smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to persuade me! If you are willing to stay, stay. I will arrange for someone to take the Hongniang over. If you are unwilling, I will send you back."
