    "It's Guluge and Hanggao." Zhou Lei said, "Ombu didn't come, it was these two people." "Can the two of them make the decision if Ombu doesn't come?" Han Wantao was a little worried, "  How do you want to talk to them? " "That's what I plan to do." Zhou Lei replied, "You also know that what we are most worried about now is Beijing, so I plan to look for it first tomorrow.  The Mongols don't need to be nagging, just give them an ultimatum." "But what if they don't surrender?" "It's easy," Zhou Lei said with a smile, "Let's go talk to Lu Xiangsheng and allocate an artillery regiment to help.  He can just hold the barracks. The remaining artillery regiment joins the cavalry division and the infantry division to attack the Mongols with all their strength. Your rifles and Zhao Qi's artillery can completely defeat the Mongols. They must surrender if they don't want to." "Then we must surrender now.  Just go find Lu Xiangsheng." Han Wantao stood up and said, "We can't delay here, defeat the Mongols and encircle Xi'an from the north." After hearing Han Wantao and Zhou Lei's plan, Lu Xiangsheng did not answer directly, but asked Yang Tinglin:  "Master Yang, what do you think of the two generals' plan?" "The two generals are indeed a good plan." Yang Tinglin praised first, "But the two generals also know that Master Lu currently has less than 8,000 people under his command, and  There are only 50,000 rogues. If the rogues attack with all their strength when the two go out, I am worried that there will be something wrong. " "Master Yang, don't worry," Zhou Lei said, "I am not just boasting, we have one artillery regiment.  72 artillery pieces, and now the artillery position has been completed. The two adults only need to sit in the Chinese army's tent, and the bandits cannot break in. " Lu Xiangsheng has also seen the power of the Yulin army's artillery in the past few days, Zhou Lei said.  After saying this, he didn't object anymore: "Then I'll thank you two generals. If you win this battle, I will definitely ask the imperial court for credit for your Yulin Army." The next day, Han Wantao and Zhou Lei led a battalion of cavalry to fight.  Carrying a white flag, he came to the Mongolian camp.  An interpreter stepped forward and shouted: "General Han Wantao, the second-rank deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, deputy commander of the First Army of the Yulin Army, and major general, please answer your commander. Who of you has the final say? Please come out and talk to my general."  Not long after, a group of Mongolian cavalry also left the camp under white flags, led by two generals with bright helmets.  Han Wantao looked at the two people in front of him and saluted the Yulin Army: "This is General Han Wantao. Are they Generals Guluge and Hanggao?" "Yes, it's me." Hanggao replied.  , "I wonder what General Han wants to talk about?" Zhou Lei, who was behind Han Wantao, immediately stepped forward: "Two generals, they have been separated for several years. I wonder if you two still recognize each other?" Gu Luge and Hang Gao looked at each other carefully for a while and recognized each other.  The man in front of him was Zhou Lei, who had been stationed in Guihua City back then.  Gu Luge cupped his hand and said, "It turns out to be General Zhou. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhou Lei smiled and said, "I am an old friend of the two generals, so I have no other intention in coming here today.  I want to advise the two generals not to choose the wrong road and stand in the wrong team." Hang Gao was a little confused: "I wonder what General Zhou means?" "The right person is a wise man." Zhou Lei said.  , "You Mongolians have been rebellious in numbers, and I'm afraid you won't be fully trusted either by me in the Ming Dynasty or by Huang Taiji in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. You are also the descendants of Genghis Khan, but why are you so ignorant of current affairs?" Zhou Lei's words made Gu  Luge was a little angry: "General Zhou, we are following the general order of my prince. If you have anything to say, general, please speak directly." Han Wantao took over: "Two generals, I wonder if you already know that General Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, has already  Recover Yulin, your retreat back to the Mongolian grassland has been blocked. Moreover, our emperor has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the Gyeonggi area. It is impossible for the Manchu Tatars to attack." Han Wantao pointed at the military camp behind him after saying this.  We have been fighting fiercely for several days, and the two generals of our Yulin Army have also seen it. To be honest, our target is not you, but Li Zicheng. But we can't deal with Li Zicheng without dealing with you first, so let's deal with it now.  There are two ways in front of you. One is to lay down your arms and surrender to the Ming Dynasty." Han Wantao said no more. "What about the second way?" "The second way?" Han Wantao's tone became serious.  A lot, "Annihilate you right here. Think about it, two generals, your 20,000 people may be able to withstand my more than a hundred artillery pieces and thousands of 100-foot-high muskets?" Hang Gao's eyes rolled: "General Han  , In fact, we Mongolians don¡¯t want to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty. It¡¯s just that this time my prince received the imperial edict from Huang Taiji and had no choice but to let me go.I will tell my prince when we get back, and my prince will also be grateful to the general.  " Han Wantao laughed loudly: "There is nothing so cheap in the world.  Where do you think this is? Is this your Mongolian grassland? You can come and leave whenever you want.  I will tell you again that I will give you one day to put down your weapons and accept Ming Dynasty's adaptation. We can ensure your safety, but you must obey our Ming Dynasty's general orders.  If there is no reply by this time tomorrow, we will fight to the death.  "Gulu Ge and Hang Gao were about to break down in cold sweat, and the other party directly issued an ultimatum. But if they did not surrender, both of them knew that the 20,000 Mongolians were no match for the Yulin Army, not to mention the cannons and their hundreds of feet of firecrackers.  It can¡¯t be dealt with, and even the cavalry can¡¯t rush forward. ¡°General Han.  "Gulu Ge's tone softened, "Can we go back and discuss it? It would be a death penalty for us to surrender without our prince's order.  " "You two are welcome.  "Han Wantao said coldly, "But I hope to get answers from you two tomorrow, and I don't want to kill too many people.  " Han Wantao and Zhou Lei turned around and started walking back with the cavalry battalion. After walking for a while, Han Wantao asked in a low voice: "Zhou Lei, why do I have a feeling that these two Mongolians will come to rob the camp at night?  " "Sir Han, are you afraid?  "Zhou Lei said with a smile, "Our artillery positions have been set up a long time ago, let Zhao Qi keep an eye on them tonight.  Dare to come and rob the camp?  We will let them die without knowing how.  " Han Wantao also felt that he was worried a little too much. With cannons and rifled guns, what should he be afraid of: "Zhou Lei, what if the 20,000 Mongolians really surrender.  This is 20,000 people, can we keep it under control?  " "Sir Han, why are you confused again.  "Zhou Lei laughed again, "It would be easier if they really surrendered.  If you're worried that you can't help it, just send them to Luoyang. If you hand them over to Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, won't we have nothing to worry about?  " "This won't work.  "Han Wantao objected, "If they make a big fuss with Yang Sichang, it will ruin the plan to annihilate Li Zicheng.  " "You are right.  Zhou Lei tilted his head and thought for a while, "We can break them up and arrange them like this."  Send part to Datong and Beijing, send another part to Luoyang, keep part for ourselves, and let the remaining wounded, old and weak return to Mongolia on their own.  These Mongolians have also suffered a lot of casualties these days, so there shouldn't be any trouble in these places.  ¡± Recommended new book by urban master Lao Shi:
