Shang Kexi thought about it for a long time and decided to inform the Ming army in Xinhui. Shang Kexi thought that since they dared to sneak into Xinhui alone, they were waiting for Li Dingguo's army to come and attack Guangzhou together. If they knew that Li Dingguo could no longer care about them, they would be in chaos.
At that time, they would either surrender or continue to defend. No matter what they planned, Shang Kexi believed that the new guild would be theirs.
Shang Kexi did not just want to take down Xinhui City. He also wanted the elite Ming army in Xinhui City. He had suffered heavy losses when he attacked the city last time. If he could make the Ming army surrender, he could use this elite army to replenish his main army. Not only would their strength not decrease, but they would also become stronger than before.
Other than wanting that elite to replenish his strength, Shang Kexi wanted to get his hands on this mysterious craftsman.
That's right, Blacksmith.
As for the two barbicans that rose from the ground in a short period of time, Shang Kexi and the others thought about it and came to a conclusion. The craftsmen who built the two barbicans must be rare craftsmen in the world. If they could get these craftsmen, Shang Kexi believed that Guangzhou would be impregnable.
At that time, not to mention Li Dingguo, he would not be afraid even if the imperial court's army came.
Although he didn't attack those barbicans, he could tell how terrifying they were just by looking at them from the outside.
No matter how many terraced field shaped city walls you took down, as long as you didn't break through the last one, the defenders would be able to attack the attackers from above.
Facing such a city wall, even if you filled it up with all the soldiers, you might not be able to take it down. It was also because Shang Kexi saw this clearly that he did not attack Xinhui Barbican, because he did not have enough soldiers to fill the hellish city wall.
"Men."
Shang Kexi shouted. Soon, the curtain of the tent was lifted and a strong man wearing fine armor walked in. He folded his hands and bowed to Shang Kexi,"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Shang Kexi pointed at the imperial edict Shunzhi had written for him on the table and said,""Take the imperial edict to the city wall and tell the Ming army in the city that Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are fighting. There is no time to help them out. They have become a completely isolated army. If they are willing to surrender, not only will I let bygones be bygones, I can even make an exception and promote them to serve in the Bordered Blue Banner.”
"Tsk!"
The guard replied and picked up the imperial edict on the table. Soon, a horse galloped out of the camp and crossed the trenches to the city wall. He shouted Shang Kexi's words loudly and threw Shunzhi's imperial edict onto the city gate tower before turning around and leaving.
From the beginning to the end, he was not shot by the soldiers on the city tower.
Di Qing took the imperial edict from the city guard and opened it. He did not show any shock or surprise on his face. Instead, he was deep in thought.
He and Shi Wanshui had already heard from Xiao Ting that Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang would fight. After all, Xiao Ting was a transmigrator, so it was normal for him to know about this. However, because history was half-baked, he didn't know the exact time they would fight.
However, Xiao Ting was certain of one thing. After Li Dingguo returned from his second attack on Guangzhou without success, he had never set foot in Guangdong again in his life.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Di Qing arrived at Xiao Ting's temporary residence and showed him the imperial edict Shunzhi had written to Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao. He also told Xiao Ting about Shang Kexi's words of persuasion.
Xiao Ting laughs disdainfully after hearing this. He then looks at Di Qing: "What do you think we should do next?”
Di Qing said,"This subordinate is thinking if we can feign surrender and then take advantage of Shang Ke Xi's great joy to let our guard down and suddenly attack?"”
"Shang Kexi is also a veteran, the success rate of feigning surrender isn't high, but we can try.”After Xiao Ting muttered to himself, he suddenly asked Di Qing to wait. He wanted to ask the opinions of the emperors. Di Qing was first stunned and then laughed. How could he forget that this lord had the emperors of the past dynasties as his think tank? Therefore, he did not say anything and waited quietly.
In the group of emperors, the emperors had heard the conversation between Xiao Ting and Di Qing clearly. The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, immediately sent a message,""Group leader, Liu Bang has the most ideas. You can ask him directly.”
Liu Che was speechless.
Liu Bang: " Brother Zheng is right. I may not be good at other things, but I'm not lacking in ideas.”
Liu Che was speechless. He was starting to realize how shameless his ancestor was.
Liu Bang didn't care what Liu Che was thinking and continued,""What Di Qing said about feigning surrender is feasible, but the most important thing is how to make Shang Kexi not suspect.”
"Then what good ideas do you have?"”
" It's very simple," Liu Bang said." You just need to write a letter in the name of the Green Camp's surrender and shoot it out at night." The content of the letter was very simple. After learning about the internal strife between Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, the Ming army in Xinhui City was divided into the Death Battle Faction and the Surrender Faction. The two factions quarreled and fought over the battle and surrender. The Green Army had no choice but to surrender to the Ming army. If Shang Kexi was willing to spare their lives, they were willing to open the city gates and let them enter Xinhui.”
"Would Shang Kexi believe it?"”
" Of course not," Liu Bang replied." But it's impossible for him not to charge in when the city gates are wide open. He just won't send his elites in first."”
Zhu Yuanzhang: " Your idea is not bad. Although Shang Kexi will not send elites, he will definitely send the Green Army soldiers in. As long as they come in, we can eat a portion of them. Shang Kexi's combat strength will also be weakened a little. At that time, we will directly fight them."”
Zhao Kuangyin: "@ Liu Bang, this isn't the best. We can make it look like the pro-war faction and the surrendering faction are having an internal conflict. This way, Shang Kexi will definitely send his elites into the city when he finds out."”
Liu Bang: " This is a good idea. We can add it to my plan."”
Liu Che: " Group Leader, it's settled then. Tonight, have someone send the letter out of the city to Shang Kexi."”
Xiao Ting: " Don't worry. Since we've made up our minds, we'll do it as soon as possible."”
After Xiao Ting's consciousness left the group of emperors, he told Di Qing about the plans of the emperors. After Di Qing heard it, he immediately admired these emperors. At the same time, he subconsciously compared these emperors with his old master, Song Renzong. He immediately found that Renzong was not a little worse than the First Emperor.
After Di Qing learned of the plan, he bid farewell and left. He rushed to the city wall and began to set up. Tonight, he was prepared to give Shang Ke Xi a big gift.
