"Mr. Li, the emperor ordered our army to send someone to the Qing camp. I want to ask you for a hard trip, how about it?" Li Dingguo asked Li Yong.

"I have no choice!" Li Yong bowed.

It is better for envoys to be literati. Zhu Youlang issued an order to send people to the West Route Army. Although it was not stated clearly, Li Yong understood that in the emperor's heart, he was the best candidate and that he was the most trusted by the emperor.

Otherwise, Mandahai and Tan Tai are besieging the city in Ganzhou, why not let Zhang Jiayu send people?

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Zhu Youlang really trusts Li Yong very much.

The right candidate for the right army is Yuan Pengnian, and the right candidate for the middle army is Zhang Jiayu. No one else meets the conditions for Zhu Youlang.

But when Yuan Pengnian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he once said that "the tall crown and wide belt are the bad habits of the old dynasty; the rat tail of the money is the elegant politics of the new dynasty." Zhu Youlang did not recognize his character.

Needless to say, Zhang Jiayu is the commander of the army and he cannot come out and serve as an envoy.

Li Yong was a great Confucian scholar in Shaanxi. He left a good reputation in real history and had profound attainments in Neo-Confucianism and philosophy.

If it weren't for the accident and were robbed by Dai Rufeng into the mountain army, Zhu Youlang would definitely reuse it, and at least he would be entrusted with the position of Minister of the State Council.

In Zhu Youlang's heart, Li Yong will be entrusted with the important task of teaching the prince in the future and is the main candidate for the Zhanshi family.

...

Li Yong did not stop for a long time. He took three personal soldiers, wearing green hats and wearing scholars, and rode on the road early in the morning.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, he arrived outside Ji'an City and was stopped by the Qing soldiers. The personal soldiers explained their purpose. When the Qing soldiers guarding the city heard that they were envoys of the Ming army, they immediately took the four of them to the general's mansion and reported to He Luohui.

He Luohui was a native of the Inlaid White Banner, brave and good at fighting, and made many military achievements. When Dorgon was alive, he once criticized Prince Su Haoge.

It is said that such a person should be highly valued by Dorgon, but because he was too loose and spoke too casually, he once complained about Dorgon in private, so he has never been valued.

After Dorgon was killed, Haoge was in power, and He Luo would be even less valued. If the war in Jiangnan was not at a critical moment, Haoge would have been investigated for his complaint.

Therefore, despite his many military achievements, he is still only a white flag in front of the mountain.

He Luohui heard the instructions that the military envoy was here and did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly invited Li Yong to come in.

When Li Yong explained his purpose, he said that he wanted to use the opportunity to meet Prince Li, and asked what he meant to meet Prince Li. Li Yong would not hide it. He told him about the surrender of Jiergalang, Oboi, Hong Chengchou and others, and He Luo would be shocked.

He immediately wrote a letter to report the matter to Mandahai. The Manda Navy Order arrived on the 8th day of the lunar month, and ordered He Luo to send someone to send Li Yong and others outside Ganzhou City.

So He Luo sent a team of Qing soldiers to escort Li Yong to the road.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the lunar month, Li Yong arrived at Qingying.

At this point, Li Yong saw that the Qing soldiers were doing things in a regular manner and was full of confidence in this trip.

"General Li, the prince summoned you in front of the commander's tent, come with me." A Qing general said to Li Yong.

When Li Yong heard this, he felt something was wrong. Why was it outside the account instead of inside the account?

Looking at the Qing general again, he had a sneer on his lips, but his eyes were mocking, and he knew something was wrong.

"It seems that Mandahai is preparing a warning for himself." Li Yong said in his heart: "Hmph, the little Tartar underestimates Li's character too much. Even if he has a sword, a sea of ​​fire, and axe, what's the fear of being on his body?"

Thinking of this, Li Yong made up his mind to sacrifice his life for the country, and a sense of arrogance rose from the bottom of his heart.

He calmly put his hands on his back and said coldly to the Qing general: "Lead the way!"

...

Mandahai received a report from He Luohui and immediately invited IELTS to the camp to discuss countermeasures.

"Prince Zheng surrendered? Is the news reliable? He is the regent prince, how come he surrendered?" IELTS Ha felt incredible.

"It should be impossible to make a mistake, otherwise Zhu Youlang would not send an envoy to persuade us to surrender." Mandahai Road.

"If it is true, Prince, what are you going to do?" asked IELTS.

"I invite you to come, just to ask you what to do."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask. I have received the emperor's kindness from time to time. I will definitely fight the Ming army to the end and never surrender." Ishe said his thoughts without hesitation.

Mandahai nodded with satisfaction and asked, "But our army was surrounded on all sides, heading north and heading south, and if we continue, we will die."

"Prince, die if you die. What are you afraid of? Death in the battlefield is a kind of glory for us mankind, and it is better to be more famous than surrendering. Besides, if we surrender, the Qing Dynasty will be over. There are not many soldiers in Jiangbei and it is difficult to resist the Ming army. Only by breaking out of the encirclement and returning to Jiangbei can we retain some vitality for the Qing Dynasty."

"Okay! I'm really worthy of being a man who stands tall and upright. I feel deeply relieved. In fact, before you come, I have made up my mind to never surrender. I must break through the siege and join Jiangbei."

"Prince, please give an order. Go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of ​​fire, and the servants will never say anything."

"Okay. IELTS, Zhu Youlang thought he had cast an iron barrel array, but he didn't expect that his arrangement had a big loophole. We just need to do this and we will definitely be able to break through the siege and mess up his iron barrel array!"

When Mandahai mentioned his thoughts about the breakthrough plan, IELTS Ha repeatedly said it was wonderful.

...

Before Li Yong was taken to Mandahai's tent, he saw Mandahai sitting on a chair, with dozens of soldiers and generals standing on both sides, and a narrow aisle was formed among the soldiers and generals.

There were more than a dozen iron rings lined up in the middle of the aisle.

If Li Yong wants to meet Mandahai, he must walk over the ring.

However, these iron glasses have been set up, and there is a blazing fire below, and the glasses have been burned red!

Seeing this scene, Li Yong's heart sank!

He understood that Mandahai was determined not to surrender.

This is the basic rule for two countries to fight and not kill the envoy. Although they do not kill themselves, the purpose of creating such a chapter is to humiliate themselves.

Since you have the intention to humiliate the messenger, it means you will never surrender.

what to do?

If he turned his head and left, Mandahai would definitely not stop him.

However, as an envoy of the emperor, I never saw the other party's commander. It was obvious that I had not achieved my mission and would be laughed at by the Qing soldiers, and I would become a joke forever.

To see Mandahai, you must walk over and bear huge pain. Even if Mandahai is determined not to fall, you must walk over himself.

Li Yong glanced at him and saw Mandahai and the soldiers on both sides looking at him with a mocking look, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Hahaha..., Shouer Xiaobang, you can only do this trick in the ghost realm. Let me see what the character of the Ming people is!"
Chapter completed!
