Chapter 355: Surrender to the enemy
The east of Jiayuan City is more than 400 miles away from Ganquan Mountain, and it is nearly 400 miles away from Songlin Gang at the eastern foot of Ganquan Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Gong Liang had been paying attention to the movements on the side of Jiayuan City before his death, the camp at the western foot fell, Gong Liang was killed in battle, Yan Yuan led the remnants to retreat eastward, and it was a chaos, and the scouts scattered to the east of Ganquan Mountain were also panicked, and they had no fighting spirit to lurk, and they were driven out of the periphery of Jiayuan City by the elite of the counter-scouts sent by Yu Zonghu.
Before nightfall yesterday, when Yan Yuan came back to his senses a little and sent scouts to reconfirm the movements of Jiayuan City again, Yu Zonghu had already led the main force of his troops to leave Jiayuan City for more than 100 miles.
Yan Yuan sent people to pass through the blockade line of the Xiyuan Army at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain, and passed the news to Huang Shuang and Le Yi, and another night passed.
Although Yan Yuan did not send anyone to deliver the news, Huang Shuang and Le Yi both expected that the combat strength of Yu Zonghu's forward force would most likely have disturbed the remnants of the Black Yan Army that had withdrawn from Ganquan Mountain from the flank.
Even if it was to block the mouth of the world, Chen Hai wanted Qi Hanjiang and Han Wen to continue to guard Xiaogu Mountain, to show that there was no collusion between the Tianji Academy Palace and the Black Yan Army, and he and Ning Chan'er went to the Songlingang camp with Wang Gongchen to see Huang Shuang and Le Yi.
Since the Xiyuan Army and the Qinwang Army on the Western Front had completely controlled the Ganquan Mountain and Huapuling line, within a radius of three or four hundred miles, they were all scouts of the Xiyuan Army, which made it extremely difficult for them to get the news east of Ganquan Mountain.
Yan Yuan may have sent several messengers, but they were all blocked by the scout reconnaissance network of the Western Garden Army, and there was no way to enter the area between Ganquan Mountain, Stone Rat Ridge and Guozi Ridge.
Although they knew that they could no longer do anything about the changes in the situation east of Ganquan Mountain, and although they knew that they would not be able to protect themselves if they stayed in Songlin Gang, this did not prevent Huang Shuang, Le Yi, and Granny He from having a monstrous hatred for Yu Zonghu.
"This dog thief should have been slashed with a thousand knives, and such a great scourge should not have been left behind!" said Granny Crane hatefully.
Others may have said this just to vent the hatred in their hearts, but Chen Hai suspected that Granny Crane might really sneak into the enemy camp alone to assassinate Yu Zonghu, and looking at her gritted teeth, he doubted that the next words were suitable to say.
Chen Hai signaled that there were some things to say to Huang Shuang, Le Yi, and Granny He alone, and these words could only be heard by the three of them, even Wang Gongchen, Wang Qi and other core middle-level generals who would never have any problems could not be present.
Le Yi was very curious, thinking that even if Chen Hai wanted to reveal his identity as a disciple of the hidden vein of the Dao Zen Academy, there was no need to avoid Wang Gongchen, Wang Qi and other generals, after all, Chen Hai really wanted to persuade everyone to take refuge in the Tianji Academy, shouldn't he let Wang Gongchen, Wang Qi and other backbones of the younger generation of the Red Mei Sect sincerely switch to the hidden vein of the Dao Zen Academy?
Huang Shuang didn't say anything, so he could only let Wang Gongchen and the others go out first.
"Senior Brother Huang Shuang, Granny He, do you still want to save more Red Mei Sect disciples and more Black Yan Army generals, and you are willing to do anything for this?" Chen Hai asked.
"It's not a pity for me to die. Huang Shuang said with firm eyes.
Seeing the Red Eyebrow Sect fall apart, and seeing that his lifelong struggle and struggle had come to fruition, Huang Shuang was deeply shocked, and it could really be said that he had nothing to love, so he was not afraid of death.
"Then what if you are a minister in the same hall as Yu Zonghu?" Chen Hai asked as he stared at Huang Shuang's pupils.
"What do you mean by that?" Huang Shuang opened his big copper bell eyes, he would rather die at this time than stand under the same roof as Yu Zonghu, a dog thief.
As long as Chen Hai proposed it, he could directly lead his troops to join the Tianji Academy, and he might even take refuge with other sects, but he never thought of taking refuge in the court, let alone being a minister in the same hall with a thief like Yu Zonghu.
"Let's go!" Granny Crane was even more straightforward about wanting to kick Chen Hai out, not wanting to talk to him again.
"Yu Zonghu rebelled in Jiayuan Yizhi, the generals of the department were panicked, and there were many people who fled the camp, in this case, Yu Zonghu can defend Jiayuan City alone, but if he wants to lead the troops to fight, there will be great problems," Chen Hai stared at Huang Shuang's pupils and said slowly, "But yesterday Yu Zonghu led his troops north out of Jiayuan City and raided the Black Yan Army that retreated from Ganquan Mountain to the north. Senior Brother Huang Shuang, what do you think happened in this process?"
"Naturally, Yu Zonghu, the dog thief's subordinates, and his generals all received the promise of being rewarded for meritorious service, and the army's heart was stabilized. Huang Shuang said.
"That's right," Chen Hai said, "Yu Zonghu's army is stable before he dares to go out of the city, but judging from the situation on the battlefield on the Western Front last night, Yu Zonghu's army is stable, and it has nothing to do with the British king's victory. I believe that Senior Brother Huang Shuang and Senior Brother Le Yi have also had such speculations before......"
"Well, Yu Zonghu abandoned the city in Yanmen County and surrendered, and he and the relatives of his subordinate generals were all arrested and brought to justice by King Yingshu in Dali Temple, and it was also because Yu Zonghu was the descendant of Prince Yingdan, so after King Yingshu arrested the Yu family, he did not show mercy, and more than 2,000 people were killed in Xishi. With this layer of blood feud, it is difficult for Yu Zonghu and Ying Wang Yingshu to trust each other, but the Guanhu Benjun is hesitant to fight in Songpanling, and Yu Zonghu does not look like he has voted for the prince to win the Dan......" Le Yi said in a deep voice, "At first, I thought that Yu Zonghu no longer had any hope for the Black Yan Army, so he behaved so abnormally and waited for the price to sell, but now it seems that we are not bold enough to speculate." ā
"That's right," Chen Hai knew that Le Yi was also speculating in the same direction at this time, and said, "Senior Brother Le is right, we should have thought a long time ago, why couldn't Yanran Palace bypass the King and the Crown Prince and contact Yu Zonghu directly?"
"Yanran Palace?" Huang Shuang asked in shock, "Is Gongzi Chen saying that the Dog Emperor said that Yu Zonghu betrayed the Black Yan Army?"
"It may not be the emperor's own order, but it must be the people of Yanran Palace, and it must also carry the emperor's decree of Yanran Palace, so that Yu Zonghu's generals can have enough confidence to completely restore the morale that is about to collapse, and then go into battle!" Chen Hai said.
"Are you saying that Wen Boyuan has also arrived in Heyang?" asked Ning Chan'er.
"Whether it is Wen Boyuan, or Zhao Zhong, the twelve permanent servants of Yanran Palace, there should be someone in Heyang - this is something that King Ying Shu and Prince Ying Dan did not expect. Chen Hai said.
"When you say that you want to be a minister in the same palace as Yu Zonghu, you don't simply say that you want us to throw ourselves to the imperial court, but you are actually throwing ourselves to Wen Boyuan and these eunuchs?" Le Yi asked coldly.
āā¦ā¦ Absolutely not!" Huang Shuang's furious forehead was bruised, his eyes were staring at Chen Hai, and he asked, "You killed you to avoid Dong Shou and took refuge in Wen Boyuan, did you come here again at the instigation of Wen Boyuan this time, and did you already know about Yu Zonghu's rebellion?"
"......," Chen Hai did not defend anything, saying, "Only the weak will accept negotiations." Senior Brother Huang Shuang, Senior Brother Le Yi, you can't endure such humiliation, and I can't say anything, then sit back and watch hundreds of thousands of Black Yan Army generals be destroyed, after all, it is a more difficult choice to join the eunuchs at the same time with Yu Zonghu. Not only do you have to endure such a humiliation, but Senior Brother Yan Yuan and they will definitely be ashamed of you in the future, and from now on, they will be strangers and even enemies of each other!"
"......" Le Yi grabbed the saber at his waist, and his bones and tendons were about to jump out.
He knew what Chen Hai meant.
King Ying Yingshu was supported by most of the clans of the eight clans in Jingjun, and directly controlled the strongest Xiyuan Army, he could have relied on a brilliant military exploit, but this time he returned to Yanjing to be canonized as the prince, but because of the attack on Guoziling and the burning of Okura, everything became so imperfect.
At this time, the British king Yingshu was afraid that he would need more heads around their necks to decorate their military exploits, and would not accept their surrender, and on the Western Front, the British king's Yingshu would not accept their surrender, nor would he let any other Qinwang army accept their surrender.
The only ones who could accept their surrender, and even tolerate them to put forward more conditions, were eunuchs like Wen Boyuan and Zhao Zhong.
The reason for this is precisely what Chen Hai said: "Only the weak will accept negotiations".
The eunuchs of Yanran Palace and the eight clans of Jingjun actually have a very deep contradiction, but they have not been hidden before, but the Black Yan Army has fallen apart, and this contradiction will be further exposed.
This is estimated to be the key reason why Yanran Palace bypassed the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army to recruit Yu Zonghu.
Although Emperor Yitian finally regained the imperial power through the Xiyuan Army, he had lost his trust in the eight clans of Jingjun in his heart, and appointed Wen Boyuan and other eunuchs to take charge of the Su Guard Army in Yanran Palace, but due to the lack of support from the Jingjun Sect Lord, the combat power of the Su Guard Army was actually far inferior to that of the Xiyuan Army.
Only in this way, only if the Su Guards are in a weak position, can Huang Shuang and Le Yi use the 40,000 soldiers and horses under their command to put forward more conditions to Wen Boyuan and other eunuchs, such as letting other Black Yan generals live.
At this time, only Wen Boyuan and other eunuchs could accept the surrender of Huang Shuang and Le Yi in the encirclement of the Zhuqin Wang army, after all, Wen Boyuan and other eunuchs represented Emperor Yitian, as long as the British king won the fledgling and did not dare to tear his face directly with Emperor Yitian, he could not prevent Wen Boyuan from accepting prisoners and surrendering on behalf of Emperor Yitian on the battlefield of Heyang.
It's just that with Yu Zonghu, a dog thief, he threw himself under the eunuch at the same time, called Huang Shuang and Le Yi, how can they bear it?
But how can you exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers of the Black Yan Army?
Chen Hai's eyes slowly swept over Huang Shuang, Le Yi, and Granny He, but he didn't need to think that Ning Chan'er, the demon girl, would object, and said slowly: "One day, Yu Zonghu may lead his troops to completely defeat the Black Yan Army that retreated north to Songdu Mountain, leaving you with time to make a decision, but it is not as generous as you imagined." ā
"Why are those eunuchs willing to give up the opportunity to defeat the Black Yan Army from the flank for the sake of our more than 40,000 soldiers? You must know that before Songdu Mountain, if the Black Yan Army under Yan Yuan is defeated, as long as Yu Zonghu does not kill indiscriminately, he may be able to collect more than 100,000 prisoners!"
"No matter how many ordinary generals surrender prisoners, how can they be worthy of the two generals, Le Yi and Huang Shuang?" Chen Hai said, "In addition, I believe in Wen Boyuan or Zhao Zhong, and they are more willing to believe me......
