"Scam surrendering? Sir, it's not that easy? Can Zhu Youlang be fooled?" Xu Ensheng said.

"The key to false surrender is the word "fraud". As long as we act very sincerely, it will definitely not arouse Zhu Youlang's suspicion. At that time, we invite Zhu Youlang into my commander's mansion, and ambushing him everywhere, and capture him in one fell swoop. The Ming army will not dare to move. Think about it, all the steel guns of the Ming army will be ours. Jiao Lian, Chen Zhongwu, and the old demon Qin Liangyu are all knocked, so we can become the strongest army in the world. What Prince Zheng's 200,000 army has not done, let us do it. With such great contribution, we have the strongest army in hand. How can Prince Su not give a title?" Zuo Menggeng told his detailed plan and drew a big cake for his two subordinates.

In fact, Haoge had already given him a secret decree, asking him to find a way to get rid of Zhu Youlang and allow him to be awarded the title of King of Shu after he succeeded.

He became more concise and did not tell the truth about Zhang Yingxiang and Xu Ensheng.

The title of King Shu is so tempting! He will be the lord of Sichuan.

But if he surrendered, Prince Zheng would only be granted a marquis. Like him, he could only pray that he would not be killed, which would be a good result.

Therefore, Zuo Menggen weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow Haoge's arrangements.

Wealth and honor are in danger.

There are risks in fraudulent reduction, but what if it is done?

"What if the military power is removed?" Zhang Yingxiang asked.

"First of all, judging from Zhu Youlang's past behavior, this person is quite kind and will not kill the donkey. Secondly, even if the military power is removed, I have a way." Zuo Menggeng replied.

Zhang Yingxiang and Xu Ensheng thought about it and agreed to Zuo Menggeng’s plan.

First, these two people have always been loyal to Zuo Menggeng and obeyed their rules; second, their sons were indeed kept in the capital as officials. They were said to be officials, but they were actually hostages; third, the temptation to be a king is too great. For those who have been fighting for a long time, it is like a poor boy looking forward to becoming a billionaire day and night. Now the opportunity to become a billionaire is right in front of you, and you have to try it.

What Zuo Menggeng said was another way, actually poisoning.

His hometown, Linqing, produces a rich Chinese medicine called Plantago. The leaves and stems are non-toxic and can cure gastrointestinal diseases. However, the seeds of Plantago are highly toxic, especially with wine. They will immediately feel dizzy and vomiting after drinking, and then become coma. If they are not treated in time, they will die in an hour.

Back then, his father Zuo Liangyu used this wine to get rid of Yuan Jixian in Jiujiang.

Before anyone could tell, Yuan Jixian died. At that time, Yuan Jixian's subordinates thought he died of illness.

Of course, only he, the son, knows about this.

Now, he will keep such wine with him. If he has the chance, he can poison Zhu Youlang!

...

But Zhu Youlang's troops arrived at the city of Chongqing and had just set up a camp. Jiao Lian came to report: "Your Majesty, Zuo Menggeng, his deputy general Zhang Yingxiang, and Xu Ensheng went out of the city to surrender, and they also carried a thorn on their backs."

"Take accusation?" Zhu Youlang was amused when he heard this: "Where are you still playing with the generals and ministers?"

"Come in."

"Abide by the order!"

...

Looking at Zuo Menggeng kneeling in front of him with his upper body naked and thorns covered with thorns on his back, Zhu Youlang laughed.

Everyone was stunned, including Zuo Menggeng, Zhang Yingxiang and Xu Ensheng, not knowing why the emperor laughed out loud, which should have been very serious, solemn and solemn surrender ceremony? It's too unsanctified.

"The emperor won the important town in eastern Sichuan without bloodshed. Is he so excited that he forgot that he is the emperor?" Yang Aixin said.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Youlang laughed was that he thought of Zuo Xiaoli.

"Zuo Xiaoli, Zuo Xiaoli, when I was in college, you were as proud as a princess. He looked like a stranger to me. Now, your ancestor, no, your ancestor's brother kneels in front of me and asks me to surrender. If I get angry and kill him and his brother, will you still be so arrogant? What else do you have to show off?"

"Your Majesty, why are you laughing?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"Ah? Ah, the reason why I am laughing is because the fertile land in Shu is thousands of miles away. Now after the rebellion of the thieves and the disaster of the Qing soldiers, there is no one in a hundred miles. I always feel very heartbroken when I see it. Zuo Menggeng asked to surrender and avoided killing. Twenty thousand soldiers are just 20,000 good laborers." Zhu Youlang said seriously.

"Your Majesty's heart is really nothing to say. The people are blessed." Qin Liangyu said very admirably when he heard that the emperor had such a noble mind.

When Zhu Youlang saw that Zuo Menggeng was stabbed and bleeding was oozing, he quickly ordered: "Come on, remove the thorn stick and give him a seat!"

"Your Majesty, as an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, the criminal was unable to overcome all his loyalty and surrendered to the thief. He did not dare to beg for His Majesty to forgive him. He also asked for punishment." Zuo Menggeng was lying on the ground and asked for punishment very sincerely.

When Zhu Youlang heard him sincerely, he forgave him and said with a gentle voice: "No one is better than a sage? Just make a mistake. I have always adhered to the principle of "punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, curing illnesses and saving people". Those who make mistakes will not be beaten to death with one stick, but it depends on whether he is kind. As long as you sincerely regret it, I will not pursue the previous matters."

"Thank you for your great kindness!" Zuo Menggeng heard Zhu Youlang say this, secretly gave Zhang Yingxiang an undetectable look, and Zhang Yingxiang nodded understandingly.

Bai Xing removed the thorn stick on Zuo Menggeng's back, and Li Hong brought a chair to Zuo Menggeng. Zuo Menggeng thanked him again, and then half of his butt sat on the chair.

"General Zuo, your hometown is from Linqing, right?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Your Majesty, I am from Linqing, Shandong."

"Who else is there in my hometown? Is there a younger brother?"

Zuo Menggeng was stunned: "How did the emperor know that I have a younger brother in my hometown?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I do have a gangster brother in my hometown."

"Oh, so that's it."

Zhu Youlang said to himself, "It turns out that Zuo Xiaoli's ancestor was born as a concubine's son. No wonder it. If it were Zuo Liangyu's legitimate son, he would have to move to the capital."

"What's your sibling's name?"

"Go back to your Majesty, call me Zuo Mengkong."

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he was happy again: "Zuo Mengkong? Damn, Zuo Liangyu is so ruthless, why did he name the concubine son Mengkong? Isn't this letting others dream? Is it because he is the concubine son?"

"Your Majesty, I ask you to enter the city. I have arranged the palace. I have also prepared a table of wine and food, not only Sichuan cuisine, but also Shandong cuisine. Your Majesty and all the adults are tired of their lap. Let me do my best."

When he heard that there was Shandong cuisine, Zhu Youlang was overjoyed. He ate southern cuisine all day long, and birds faded out of his mouth. He dreamed of the flavor of Shandong cuisine in his previous life.

"Okay, I can't let you go. I'll send an order and move to the palace."
