Chapter 99 Suspicion starts from the braid

Li Chengxian drew his sword toward each other, and the Prime Minister of Xia laughed: "Hahaha..., General Li calms his anger, General Li calms his anger! Please listen to what Xia said."

Prime Minister Xia took out the letter from Officer Wu Sangui, and also roughly explained the military situation of the Ming army she had mastered and the arrangement of Prince Zheng Jiergalang, and finally said: "General Li is loyal and courageous, and Xia admires it. However, Xia thought that the Ming army was powerful and could not be defeated, so he should be defeated by wisdom."

After the words were made clear, Li Chengxian turned his anger into joy and said, "Now, when the King of Pingxi arrives, my adopted father's revenge can be avenged."

"Your adoptive father?"

"Therefore, the obedience of King Kong Youde is the embraced father."

"oh……."

As soon as he heard this, Prime Minister Xia understood everything.

The enemy is facing the enemy and they are both Han people. It is not surprising that they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but it is very strange that they do not surrender.

Moreover, although he said "Saving and dying with the city" in the sentence he said, although he was tragic, he actually did not have the confidence to defeat a powerful enemy. No wonder he thought it was strange just now. Is there any surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty who was so loyal to the Qing Dynasty?

It turned out that I was trying to avenge my adoptive father.

Prime Minister Xia has completely put his heart in his stomach.

"General, the Ming army vanguard has arrived at the south gate!"

At this moment, a soldier came to report.

"General Xia, this time, you can't leave, you can only fight the enemy with General Xu." Li Chengxian said to Prime Minister Xia with a smile.

"Sincerely wished." Prime Minister Xia smiled.

Then the two discussed countermeasures again. Li Chengxian asked someone to get two sets of military uniforms to change them to Prime Minister Xia and asked Prime Minister Xia to pretend to be his follower. Then he ran to Nancheng.

...

The Ming army came to capture Xiangyang and Jingmen this time, Gaojiling, deputy general under Ma Jinzhong, and Zhang Tingqiang, the gang general, led 10,000 horse and infantry soldiers to drive to the city of Jingmen.

"Report! General, Jingmen Guard Li Chengxian opened the city gate and led his troops to surrender!" Gaojiling was about to order an attack on the city when a soldier rushed back from the front army, half-kneeled in front of the horse and saluted with his hands.

"Hahaha, I'll just say that as soon as my army arrives, the Qing soldiers will definitely surrender. You don't believe it yet, how about it?" Gaojiling laughed loudly, turned his face to the white-faced general beside him.

The white-faced general was named Wang Shizhong, and he was a guerrilla general under Gaojiling.

"General, this matter is deceitful, so you should not trust it easily, and be cautious." Wang Shizhong said.

“Why?”

"Our army was stationed in Jingzhou for more than three months. If Li Chengxian had the intention to surrender, he would have surrendered long ago. How could he wait until today? There must be a fraud in this."

"Scholars, when will your suspicious nature change? If you didn't surrender sooner, you probably have to surrender. It is understandable that you have to surrender when you see my army is powerful today. In my opinion, it is not surprising to surrender. If you don't surrender, it would be a strange thing. Li Chengxian was a Han Chinese, and was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty. Will he work for the Tartars?"

"That's right, I think it's better to be careful."

"I think you are too suspicious. OK, don't be suspicious, Tingqiang, Peidong, go and meet with me to meet Li Chengxian."

Gaojiling disagreed and called Zhang Tingqiang and another guerrilla general Guo Peidong, and rode a horse to see Li Chengxian.

Seeing that the Lord General did not listen to his opinion, Wang Shizhong was still not relieved. He called the scout captain responsible for military affairs and asked in detail.

...

Li Chengxian was very humble and asked the Ming army to enter the city, and then asked Gaojiling and other Ming generals to enter the garrison palace.

"General Li follows the heavens and responds to the people and leads the entire army to surrender. He can be regarded as a hero who knows the current affairs. I will report your righteousness to Mr. Li. Mr. Li cherishes talents and will definitely use you. Now, you can temporarily take the original position and assist General Zhang and General Guo in guarding Jingmen. How about it?" Gaojiling said happily when he saw Li Chengxian's handsome appearance and elegant manners.

"Chengxian Chengxian is grateful to the general for not abandoning him. I am willing to hold the horse and whip for General Zhang." Li Chengxian bowed and replied.

"General Li, your braid is long enough, why does it make people look so fucked?" Gao Jiling looked at Li Chengxian's long thick braid and said disgustedly.

"My general deserves to die! They are all for the sake of General, and they have forgotten this matter. To be honest, General Mo has long been tired of this thing. People come and pass the orders and the whole army will cut their braids!" Li Chengxian said embarrassedly.

A personal soldier behind Xia Guoxiang went down to pass the order. Li Chengxian took out the sword from his waist, cut off his braid with one sword, and threw it on the ground.

"General Li, such a long braid has been left for many years, right?" Wang Shizhong stepped forward and picked up the braid from the ground and asked with a smile.

"What is this?" Li Chengxian was shocked. Unexpectedly, someone in the Ming army had already become suspicious of him. He hurriedly took advantage of this question and teleported his mind to make a speech.

"Guerrilla General Wang Shizhong." Wang Shizhong replied.

"So it's General Wang, I have long admired him!" Li Chengxian quickly greeted him.

"General Li, don't be polite." Wang Shizhong returned the favor.

"General Wang is so elegant. I think he has read a lot of books, but he is much better than us fighting against Han. Now the emperor attaches importance to military culture. General Wang is at the right time and will definitely have a bright future." Li Chengxian beat him up, but he refused to answer Wang Shizhong's questions head-on.

"Yes, yes, yes, Chengxian said it right. I have read books for a few years and know a lot of words. I am the famous little Zhuge in our army." Gaojiling took over and said.

"Please give General Wang a hint of advice when he has time. To be honest, Chengxian admits a few words, but not much, I really want to learn it."

Li Chengxian continued to praise him a few words and thought to himself: "I can almost get through it."

Thinking of this, he followed the trend and said to Gaojiling: "General Gao, General Gao has lived in Jingmen for a long time and has surrendered now, but he is still half a landlord. Can you give Mo General a chance to welcome all the generals?"

"Okay, that's it." Gao Jiling waved his hand and said.

"General Li, you haven't answered me yet. Could it be that there is a hidden secret?" Wang Shizhong said with a smile with a braid in his hand.

"This guy is really difficult!" Li Chengxian thought to himself.

"Oh, General Wang, changing clothes is not a glorious thing, it's better not to mention it." Li Chengxian said with a sad look on his face and sighed.

"General Li, you are from Dengzhou. You followed Kong Youde as early as the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Kong Youde was considered an adopted son. Does your indescribable hiddenness refer to this matter?" Wang Shizhong's smile did not diminish, but the sarcasm in his tone was very strong.

"What, Kong Youde's adopted son?!" When he heard this, Gaojiling changed color. Zhang Tingqiang and Guo Peidong also stood up.

"Come on, take down Li Chengxian, the dog thief!"
