Zheng Kui was stunned when he heard this.

His brother-in-law's bottom line is that the Ming army cannot enter the city, while Emperor Yongli means that the Ming army must enter the city.

The two of them couldn't reach an agreement at all, how can they talk about this?

If it were ordinary people, they might be frozen. But Zheng Kui couldn't do it. He had just offended Emperor Yongli and was now full of desire to survive.

"Uh, your Majesty, do you think this is OK? I will go back and reflect your conditions with my general. I think he may still accept it."

Zheng Kui was complaining in his heart. My brother-in-law really hurt him this time. This is simply not a job for humans.

Zhu Youlang thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I will give you half a day. If I haven't seen you in half a day, I will issue an order to attack the city."

Zheng Kui thought to himself that Emperor Yongli was really ruthless and didn't talk much. He smiled and said, "That villain will go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Slow down."

Zheng Kui froze.

He thought to himself, Emperor Yongli had repented that he wanted to kill him, he didn't want to lose his head so confused.

"There is a saying that you bring to me. If you offend me tomorrow, you will be punished even if you are far away. I will not only attack Xiangyang, but also Jiangling and Wuchang, and fight back to the capital. It is still time to surrender now, otherwise I will eventually lead a large army to kill the generals and thieves to crush their bones and ashes."

"Uh... the villain must bring the words."

Zheng Kui was so scared that he was about to spit out his urine, and hurried out of the camp with a small step.

When he left the Ming army camp, he always felt that the Ming soldiers on both sides were staring at him, just like a piece of fat meat.

But he could not show a panic, so he could only endure his fear and walk the road.

After a while, he finally walked out of the Ming army camp and immediately ran towards Xiangyang City without looking back.

When he arrived under the city wall, Zheng Kui shouted desperately: "Pull me up!"

Seeing this, the Qing soldiers on the city wall quickly put down their baskets.

Zheng Kui didn't care much, so he jumped into the basket and let the soldiers pull him up.

After walking to the Ming army camp, Zheng Kui was soaked all over. He claimed to be resourceful, but these clever little things were useless in front of Emperor Yongli.

He felt that all his thoughts were pierced, as smooth as a stripped cooked egg.

After leaving the Gate of Hell, Zheng Kui felt it was necessary to tell his brother-in-law Emperor Yongli's request as soon as possible.

After all, Emperor Yongli only gave half a day. If there was no result at the time, the Ming army would attack the city, and then it would be all over.

But Zheng Kui rushed to see Han Zhaonian in a hurry, but Han Zhaonian was in the toilet.

Zheng Kui was so anxious that he was paced back and forth in the room. All this wasted time.

This brother-in-law has a stomachache!

After waiting for a long time, Han Zhaonian came late. Zheng Kui hurriedly came forward and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm back."

"Tell me, how about it? Did Mingjun agree not to enter the city?"

Han Zhaonian was also very nervous, but there was a hint of expectation in the nervousness.

"Emperor Yongli said they had to enter Xiangyang and only gave us half a day to consider. If there was no reply, they would immediately attack the city."

Zheng Kui said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, you have to think about it. This time I went to the Ming army camp and saw that his military discipline was strict, his soldiers were armored and his weapons were ready. If we really wanted to fight, we would not have a chance of victory."

Han Zhaonian sighed, "Of course I know this, but if I let the Ming army enter the city, there will be no turning back."

Han Zhaonian's wishful thinking was to give the Ming army some money and food, so that the Ming army could change to fight other places. In this way, he could also submit a statement to the court that he defeated the Ming army. Not only would he not be punished, but he might also receive rewards.

But Emperor Yongli obviously looked down on these money and food. He pointed out that he wanted to enter Xiangyang, which was actually forcing Han Zhaonian to make a statement and choose the side to stand.

The Ming and Qing dynasties can only choose the same thing, and there is no possibility of riding a fence.

This is really difficult!

"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Faced with Zheng Kui's urge to ask, Han Zhaonian said helplessly: "To be honest, the Qing Dynasty still has a great advantage now. Although the Ming army is in good momentum, it still lacks absolute strength. Even if they sing all the way to defeat the entire Huguang, what can I do? I am still more optimistic about the Qing Dynasty."

"What brother-in-law means fighting to the end?"

Zheng Kui was a little desperate, and it would be great if the ten thousand people from Xiangyang City could be kept for three or five days.

“That’s not.”

Han Zhaonian sighed and said, "Why do you have to do something about hitting the stone with your eggs? I think it's better to open the city and surrender first. At worst, you can follow the Ming army first, and you can live one day and count one day."

Although Han Zhaonian was more optimistic about the Qing army, the current situation gave him no choice.

"Okay, then I'll go there again!"

Zheng Kui was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly.

"Let's wait!"

Han Zhaonian called Zheng Kui and said, "Since you have decided to surrender, you must show your sincerity. This time, you should not go down from the city wall again. I will order people to open the city gate, and you will go out from the city gate openly and go to the Ming army to express your intention of surrender."

Zheng Kui nodded repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, you can prepare too, it's best to go out of the city to surrender."

"Don't worry, I still know this rule."

After Zheng Kui left, Han Zhaonian sighed: "The king's flag changes on the top of the city, and the Xiangyang City is about to be named Ming."

...

...

When Zheng Kui entered Mingying again, his mentality had improved a lot.

After all, he was guaranteed this time and felt confident.

After being taken to the central army tent by soldiers, Zheng Kui learned his lesson this time, and pushed the Jinshan Mountain and turned the Jade Pillar to bow down and bowed.

"See Your Majesty, the Little Man."

He knew very well that after offering the city this time, they would all follow the Ming army in a short time.

In this way, Emperor Yongli became the emperor of Zhengshuo, and Shunzhi became a traitor.

Life changes so quickly, you never know what will happen next moment.

"Have you considered it clearly?"

Zhu Youlang asked with majestic questions.

"The villain has informed General Han of His Majesty's request, and General Han immediately expressed his willingness to offer the city to His Majesty and show his loyalty."

Zheng Kui smiled and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is the hero. General Han is willing to follow Your Majesty and be in charge of your Majesty."

Zhu Youlang nodded and ordered Li Dingguo: "Since that's the case, let the King of Jin prepare for surrender."

"I obey the order!"

Li Dingguo clasped his fists and led his orders.

In fact, Zhu Youlang didn't expect Xiangyang Shou to agree so simply.

Maybe it was because the Ming army conquered Yiling and Yunyang brought him too much pressure.

Now that the troops are at the city, Zhu Youlang makes another harsh words, and it is reasonable that the Qing army generals could not withstand the pressure and chose to surrender.

In any case, this is the first time Zhu Youlang saw the Qing army surrender voluntarily after coming to this era, which is a good sign.

He hopes that this matter can become a turning point, and the offensive and defensive momentum between the Ming and Qing dynasties can be reversed after today.
