Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 258 Sophistry
When Emperor Chongzhen saw the infantry starting to arrive, he immediately issued an order: "This time we must wipe out all the bandits and surrender to avoid death. Anyone who resists or tries to escape will be killed without mercy! Especially the leaders of the bandits must not be killed." Let them run away again!"

Through the prior layout, almost all the rogues have been attracted here, as long as they are all dealt with at once, at least in a short period of time, there will be no more rogues.And if the follow-up measures are in place, it is expected to solve the problem of thieves in the pass.

The cavalry guarding him was thrown into the battlefield by Emperor Chongzhen.Five thousand Panshi Battalion was left to guard Yujia's side, and the other Panshi Battalion soldiers were also thrown into the battlefield.

All of a sudden, there were more soldiers of the Ming army chasing around on the battlefield, and there were shouts everywhere.

"Surrender to avoid death!"

"Those who resist will die, those who run away will die!"

"..."

Many of the panicked thieves knelt down and surrendered, not daring to run away.

Among them, many were coerced common people. Of course, most of them were already young and strong. As for the old and weak among the common people, they had already become cannon fodder under Nanyang City.

Some of them were evil-doers and felt that even if they surrendered, the court would probably not let them go, so they ran as hard as they could to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.

"I have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Chen Qiyu rushed to the emperor's side when he was victorious, and paid homage to the emperor excitedly.

In the decisive battle with the bandits, because the emperor's army arrived in time, the dangerous battle suddenly became easy. For the commander who has full responsibility, I don't know what a surprise it is!

Moreover, the emperor's control over the battle situation and the boost to the morale of the troops he led allowed him to see the emperor's brilliance and prowess with his own eyes, which also made him extremely happy.

If an emperor is wise, kind, but martial, as a subject who only wants to serve the country loyally, he will naturally be very happy.

It was the combination of these factors that made Chen Qiyu pay homage even if he was on this battlefield.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he smiled and put his hands up empty-handed: "Chen Qing has worked hard!"

So, in the next scene, the big Ming feudal official in a scarlet robe, accompanied by a young man in armor, pointed to the battlefield in front of him from time to time, and introduced the situation.

Many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty involuntarily turned their heads to look at where the emperor was when they were busy. They saw the setting sun shining on the monarch and his ministers, seeming to be shining, and the figure of the emperor seemed to have become a little more majestic.

Every soldier of the Ming Dynasty felt very at ease seeing this scene. Even though they had been busy all day, they still felt that their bodies were full of strength.

On the emperor's side, Chen Qiyu looked at the setting sun and saw that it would be dark in half an hour at most, so he became a little anxious, and told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the capital of all the thieves has not been captured yet, and I am a little worried. May I Lead the troops to search!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head to look at the fiery red clouds in the west, then lowered his head to look at Chen Qiyu and said, "It doesn't matter, I have issued an order to let the elites of the Yongwei Battalion, Baigan Army and other places in the periphery speed up to narrow the encirclement. Come here. Even if there are thieves who escape the search here, they will run into the surrounding troops. This time, I will definitely wipe them all out."

Chen Qiyu didn't know about Emperor Chongzhen's layout in the periphery.Therefore, he was a little taken aback when he heard it, but when he came back to his senses, he thought that the emperor asked Pan Shiying to find someone in Nanyang to pretend that he was the emperor. The main battlefield is to eliminate all the thieves in one fell swoop, so it is not surprising that Nanyang is the center of the network.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help admiring, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise!"

When he said this, he thought again in his heart, even if those thieves escaped, they must not escape soon.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Hui Deng and other big bosses among the thieves have all killed each other. Zuo Liangyu, the rebel, has also been arrested now."

Hearing this, Chen Qiyu was startled again. Turning his head to look, he saw a team, about 50 people, coming this way.At this time, it can be seen clearly with the naked eye that there are people tied up at the front of the team, and they are being escorted here.Although he couldn't see the appearance of the person who was tied up, but the emperor said so, it should be Zuo Liangyu.

He guessed right, the bound person was Zuo Liangyu.His goal was too big, and when he wanted to escape, he was dragged away by other thieves, and he was surrounded by Liu Guoneng's men.Under the panic, his personal guards did not fight to the death any longer, but the tree fell and the monkeys scattered and ran away.

Speaking of which, there was another episode when Zuo Liangyu was arrested.

Liu Guoneng's troops were infantry, so Zuo Liangyu fled, and he couldn't catch up with him at once.However, when a cavalry army passed by, Zuo Liangyu was startled. When he wanted to turn around and leave, he was caught up and surrounded by Liu Guoneng's troops.

Amidst their shouts of killing, the cavalry army heard that Zuo Liangyu was here, and wanted to come up to claim credit.

At this time, when Liu Guoneng saw the big "Wu" flag and looked at the majestic cavalry, he felt timid.There is no way, his background as a thief made him feel inferior when facing the majestic cavalry.Especially these cavalry troops today, all following the royal driver, descending suddenly like heavenly soldiers and generals.

The young general drove his horse closer, with a trace of excitement on his face, he shouted loudly: "The people surrounded are the rebellious Zuo Liangyu?"

Zuo Liangyu, who was surrounded, recognized that this was the Guan Ning army. He hated Liu Guoneng who had betrayed him so much. Naturally, he wished Liu Guoneng would die. Anyway, as long as it was difficult, he was willing.Therefore, after hearing this, he shouted loudly: "This general, I am Zuo Liangyu. These are all thieves, and that person is called Chuang Tatian, and he is also very famous among thieves."

When he thought about it, after shouting like this, with him here again, this young general of the Guan Ning Army would certainly not have any scruples, would grab credit, and maybe even kill Liu Guoneng and others.If that's the case, then he has also calculated a bad breath.

When Liu Guoneng's subordinates heard this, they were all taken aback.If this famous general who seemed to be trying to steal merit took the opportunity to kill them and rob Zuo Liangyu indiscriminately, then they would really die wronged.

So, they quickly pointed to the white tape on their arms and started to argue.

"This general, we are our own people, look, we are our own people!"

"Yes, we are also imperial court officers and soldiers, those with white belts are undercover agents!"

"..."

This general surnamed Wu is naturally Wu Sangui.To be honest, when he saw Zuo Liangyu here, he was really moved. This is the head of the thief this time, and catching him is a great achievement.Moreover, these people in front of me are all dressed up as thieves. Although they are tied with a white belt, but this person is the leader. According to Zuo Liangyu, he still has a bandit name. What is his name? If he kills him, someone will know , and probably don't care too much.

He was thinking in his heart, when suddenly, he saw a person beside Liu Guoneng who looked a bit panicked, but he didn't panic at all, took out a waist card and shouted loudly: "I am Liu Yue from a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and I am following General Liu according to the emperor's order." Right now, we are arresting the rebellious Zuo Liangyu, please help this general, Zuo Liangyu must not run away!"

In fact, at this time, Zuo Liangyu could no longer run away.But when he said that, he deliberately gave a little credit to this famous general.Of course, it was indeed the reason for this famous general's cavalry that made them catch up to Zuo Liangyu so quickly.

When Wu Sangui heard that this person turned out to be Jinyiwei Baihu, he was shocked, the emperor's spies are really everywhere, even lurking among the thieves.Well, maybe there are Jinyiwei spies among the guards or subordinates around him!
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Yue: "It turned out to be Liu Baihu, congratulations on catching this traitor. I still have military affairs, so I bid farewell!"

He simply said goodbye almost immediately after Liu Yue announced his name, saying that he had no other intentions.

"Drive!" Wu Sangui then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and immediately led his men to continue chasing and killing other thieves.

Seeing him leave, Liu Guoneng breathed a sigh of relief.But at this time, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Yue was only a hundred households, but it was really amazing that he could treat the general so courteously!
Zuo Liangyu, who was surrounded by the crowd, was dumbfounded. Is this the end of the matter?

When did Guan Ningjun become a good bird?Taking advantage of the chaos, even if there are hundreds of Jinyiwei households, so what, kill and grab credit!

For him who usually kills the good and pretends to be meritorious, this seems a bit unimaginable.However, if he understands that Wu Sangui has followed Yujia during the past few months, knows how unpredictable the news of the current emperor is, and knows how wise and powerful the emperor is, he will probably be able to understand why Wu Sangui turned around so neatly And went.

When the matter came to this point, Zuo Liangyu saw that the court cavalry was galloping around everywhere, dividing and encircling, or forced to land on the bandits, or directly killed the bandits, he knew that it was useless to try to resist, so, When he rolled his eyes, he immediately dropped his weapon, and at the same time ordered the few followers behind him to also drop their weapons, and then smiled at Liu Yue: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all my own. I am also an undercover agent. My heart is for the imperial court, really! You have to believe me!"

Speaking of which, he himself dodged the package carried behind his personal guards, shook out a human head and said, "Look, this is the head of the Eight Great Kings, and, and this, this is the head of Cao Cao. The king's head..."

Zuo Liangyu displayed all the heads he had chopped off, introduced them to Liu Yue one by one, and then said with a smile: "Look, I also pretended to surrender to the bandits, just to kill them for them. Now, thanks to the emperor's blessing, It's done, kill the thief leader!"

"..." Liu Yue, Liu Guoneng and the others were dumbfounded at this moment.They didn't expect that things would have such a turning point.

Seeing their expressions, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help being secretly proud of himself, he saved his hand, maybe he could escape to heaven, and if he was a little bit lucky, he might even be promoted because of it!
Liu Yue came back to his senses, but one thing about Zuo Liangyu flashed through his mind immediately, and he knew that he had been fooled by Zuo Liangyu, so he immediately sneered and shouted: "It sounds good, but the emperor Will?"

"Ah?" Zuo Liangyu was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, how could he take out the emperor's will!But he is also a quick-witted person, and he immediately defended himself, "The situation is urgent, I am afraid that I can't wait to ask the emperor for an order, so I made my own decision and decided to catch these rogue leaders first!"

Liu Guoneng on the other side was confused. Is what Zuo Liangyu said true or false?

But Liu Yue had the bottom line in his heart, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, tie them up, take them to the emperor, and you will know for yourself!"

So, just like that, they escorted Zuo Liangyu and his personal guards, and brought the heads of all the bandit leaders, to the place where the imperial driver was.

Seeing Yu Jia's place getting closer, and listening to the shouts of "kill the bandits" from time to time on the battlefield, Liu Guoneng felt a little uncertain why he didn't know why.

Zuo Liangyu was right about one thing, he was a well-known person among the thieves, "Crossing the Sky", I don't know if the emperor listened, would he mind?If you take advantage of the situation and kill yourself, it seems to be just a sentence.

Can the emperor really know that he is loyal to the king and serving the country wholeheartedly, and rebellion is just a last resort?Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong and others are wary of themselves because of repeated rebellions, and now that the overall situation is settled, they want to settle it once and for all?
To be honest, Liu Guoneng was really a little apprehensive along the way.At this time, he felt a little like "an ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws".Regarding his characterization, no matter what happened before, it can only be counted after meeting the "in-laws", that is, the emperor.

On the contrary, his subordinates, such as Wang Liuhui, Wang Gui and others didn't think so much, they were just excited because of the possibility of meeting the current emperor.They felt that they did the right thing when they followed their elder brother to serve as the imperial court's internal response!

When they were still a hundred steps away from where Yu Jia was, the Panshi Camp soldiers who were guarding Yu Jia stopped them, and then went to report to the emperor on their behalf.

Liu Guoneng and the others could see that the emperor was looking at them, and after saying something, the decree came, asking Liu Yue and Liu Guoneng to detain Zuo Liangyu and meet them with the heads of other thieves.

As for the others, for the safety of the emperor, the soldiers of the Panshi camp stopped them.

Neither Zuo Liangyu nor Liu Guoneng had ever seen the emperor.However, they had seen Chen Qiyu, and when they saw Chen Qiyu accompanying that young man, they knew that this young man was definitely the current emperor.

What a good Zuo Liangyu, when he was about to reach the imperial court, he knelt down first, and then shouted loudly with a look of fear: "Your Majesty, the last general is guilty. The last general should not have pretended to rebel against the imperial court and approach the bandits without getting the order. . Fortunately, thanks to His Majesty’s great blessing, the general worked hard and worked hard to bring down the bandit leaders from all walks of life!”
