Chapter 335: Into the Tiger's Den
"No, absolutely not!" several generals blurted out at the same time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Xuanzhe, the envoy of Dingzhou Jiedu, stepped forward and said: "I never said that the generals of the unified army would go to surrender in person, but I am afraid that the Liao army wants to take you hostage, so you must not go." ”
Several of the others echoed and nodded frequently, thinking that he was very reasonable.
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I need to go even more." Because only when I go to the Liao camp can the Liao army be completely relaxed and achieve the purpose of our war. ”
Several other generals actually understood this in their hearts, so they stopped talking about it.
They looked at Yang Xianmao's eyes full of respect and gratitude, they didn't expect Yang Xianmao to agree to this request, go to the Liao army camp, Yang Xianmao has no return, even if the army will kill the past, the Liao army knows that it is a fraudulent surrender, and will take Yang Xianmao under anger, so this can be described as ten deaths.
Li Jilong said: "Otherwise, I'll go." ”
As soon as they heard this, several other generals also scrambled to go.
Yang Xianmao was very moved, because he could see that these people were all moved by him, and when he said this from the heart, he hugged his fists and said: "What the Liao army wants is me, it's useless for you to go." They asked me to go by name, and if I was replaced by someone else, I would only end up being one more hostage, so don't fight anymore. After you set up the formation, you approached the Liao army as if you had surrendered, and suddenly launched an attack, taking him by surprise. Don't worry about me, it's an order. ”
After that, Yang Xianmao strode out of the Chinese military tent, instructed the soldiers outside the door to bring his Chiyang donkey, turned over on the donkey, shook the small whip, and walked out of the Song army camp and went to the Liao army.
Song Jun was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, and watched him wearing official robes and riding a little donkey, slowly walking towards the Liao army.
Yang Xianmao was actually very nervous in his heart, but he was not so afraid. Because the last time he was in the Liao army, he was quick to fight the silver spear, and he also took the emperor and the snake fairy Gu to fight out of the encirclement, he believed that he would also be able to fight out of the encirclement this time.
Moreover, since the Liao army wants to see him, he can just approach the commander of the Liao army and capture him as a hostage, or directly kill the commander of the enemy army and leave his group leaderless. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger.
After walking a little further, I saw the Liao army.
At this look, Yang Xianmao was startled, and saw that the Liao army was overpowered, and the so-called 10,000 people were boundless. The Liao army numbered more than 100,000, and there was no end in sight.
The Liao army was lined up neatly, and the cavalry was ready to charge, waiting for the Song army to react, and the forward saw a small donkey coming from the direction of the Song army. A Song Dynasty official wearing a red official robe on the donkey swayed towards them.
Because they had already known that the marshal had asked the Song army to send their supervisor Yang Xianmao to deliver the surrender letter, they would believe that they were really sincere in surrendering, so these people knew that this should be one of the supreme commanders of the Song army who came to deliver the surrender letter, the supervisor Yang Xianmao.
When the Liao army saw that Yang Xianmao, as a high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty, actually rode a donkey over, and his appearance was very funny, they all burst into laughter.
Yang Xianmao shook a small whip in his hand, and the whip sounded in the air, but he didn't whip the Chiyang donkey, this Chiyang donkey is human, and only needs to tell it the destination, and it doesn't need to be whipped to know the direction and speed at all, so the whip is just a pretense.
He was very shocked when he saw that the Liao army was so strong. The last battle of Youzhou was in the middle of the night, and before that, he had been with the emperor in the Zhongjun tent, and he didn't go to the front, so he didn't see the Liao army lined up and arranged. At this moment, after witnessing the Liao army that was waiting for him, Yang Xianmao's heart was very shocked. Because the Liao army has strict military discipline and neatly arranged soldiers, it looks well-trained. In all fairness, compared to the Song army, the Liao army seems to be more combative.
Yang Xianmao came to the front of the two armies, and a Liao army general rode over and said in a loud voice: "You, an official of the Song Dynasty, are you the supervising army Yang Xianmao?"
Yang Xianmao straightened his official hat, waved the whip in his hand and said, "It is I who took me to see your handsome, I am here to deliver the letter of surrender." ”。
"Since you're here to surrender, why don't you dismount? Hahaha"
As soon as Yang Xianmao heard what the other party said, he just wanted to drag the time, so he turned over and got off the donkey, held his hand, and walked in with square steps. The Liao army automatically divided into two columns, made a way, and looked at him with a sneer on his face.
Yang Xianmao shook three times and led the donkey inside, and the general of the Liao army said: "You go faster, I didn't rub against you with kung fu." ”
Yang Xianmao was still slow and said, "As one of the supreme commanders of the Song Army, I must take care of the official authority. If you want to go fast, the official hat is crooked, and the posture is indecent, isn't it insulting. ”
The general of the Liao army couldn't help laughing when he saw that he had come to surrender, but he still had to pay attention to his official authority, but he didn't bother to urge him anymore, so he rode his horse and slowly followed him inside.
After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the Chinese army tent of the Liao army. Two Liao soldiers came up to search Yang Xianmao and did not carry any blades on him, so they let him in.
Yang Xianmao led the donkey all the way into the Liao army's Chinese army tent, a huge yurt is like a big enough, there are already more than a dozen people in it, but it still seems very empty, two long strips after a few cases, sitting two generals in armor. One of them was staring at him with a sinister face.
As soon as Yang Xianmao saw this Liao general, he immediately understood why the Liao army asked him to come and surrender by name, it turned out that the road was narrow, and he had fought with this Liao general in the battle of Youyun last time and seriously injured him.
This Liao army who viciously looked at Yang Xianmao was, of course, Yelu Xiuge.
Yelu Xiuge is an eighth-level powerhouse, and Yang Xianmao's level is much lower than him, so it is impossible to hurt Yelu Xiuge at all, but at that time, the eighth-level powerhouse of the Song Army, Dihu Venerable, grabbed Yelu Xiuge's feet from the ground, making him unable to move, and Yang Xianmao used the first sharp weapon of assassination "Ghost Spike" to sneak attack, and then used the Yang family gun, which seriously injured Yelu Xiuge. and made him mistakenly think that the Yang family was about to arrive, so he fled in a hurry. Otherwise, even if Brother Yelu Xiu was seriously injured, it would not be difficult to kill Yang Xianmao, after all, there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides.
When Yelu Huge fled, he stared at Yang Xianmao and remembered his appearance, and later he learned that the Yang family general did not participate in the battle of Youzhou at all, but went to charge grain and grass, that is to say, although the person who injured him at that time used the Yang family's marksmanship, he was not the Yang family general, and the level was much lower.
Through the meticulous work lurking in the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Xiuge quickly found out that the young man at that time was the imperial physician beside Song Taizong, escorting the Great Song Emperor out of the siege, and was later named an earl. And this time, among the commanders who led the troops to meet the Liao army, there was this young imperial doctor, who served as the supervising army, and was one of the two supervising troops.
Yelu Xiuge couldn't help but laugh secretly at how the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent an imperial doctor to lead the troops, but this also gave him a chance to take revenge.
Yelu Xiuge originally planned to capture Yang Xianmao alive after the battle between the two armies, but he did not expect that the Song army would actually ask for surrender, and sent a letter of surrender. Of course, Yelu Hugo did not believe that the Song army would surrender easily, thinking that it was a fraudulent surrender, but Han Kuangsi, the supreme commander of the Liao army, was overjoyed and thought that it would be better to recover the entire 100,000 Song army without bloodshed, so he insisted that the Song army really wanted to surrender, and the two argued. As soon as Yelu Hugo had an idea, he offered to let Yang Xianmao come to deliver the surrender letter, and was going to take him hostage.
If Yang Xianmao really came to deliver the surrender letter, it showed that the Song army was indeed really ready to surrender, otherwise it would be a fraudulent surrender, and they would attack immediately. Yelu Huge's proposal was finally approved by Han Kuangsi, and then he proposed to let Yang Xianmao come.
Yang Xianmao really came to the Chinese army tent of the Liao army to hand over the surrender book. This made Han Kuangsi surprised and delighted, and he was even more sure that the Song army was going to surrender, so he sent an order to go down and prepare to accept the surrender of the Song army.
Brother Yelu Xiu was still skeptical, but when he saw Yang Xianmao, he remembered that the injury on his thigh was due to him, and he must teach him a good lesson to save face.
Yang Xianmao took the donkey and walked into the palm, looked at Yelu Xiuge, arched his hand and said, "General Yelu, how is the injury on your body? ”
When Brother Yelu Xiu saw that Yang Xianmao didn't open which pot and which pot to mention, and uncovered his scars, he was even more annoyed, snorted heavily, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, pointing at Yang Xianmao: "Since you came to surrender, why don't you kneel?"
The other people next to him shouted, "Get down on your knees!"
Yang Xianmao smiled faintly: "Joke! The reason why we surrendered was because we admired the national prestige of the Great Liao Heavenly Dynasty, so we wanted to return to the Great Liao Dynasty, not to beg for mercy." Surrender and being captured are two different things, being captured is because your Liao army defeated our Song army and captured us as prisoners, surrender is because I don't want to fight with you, but I am willing to submit to you. We are sincere, but if your army has this attitude towards the righteous army who surrendered to sincerity, then forget it, the two armies will fight a battle first, and then see who wins and who loses. ”
Upon hearing this, the generals of the Liao army looked at each other.
Indeed, Yang Xianmao was right, the generals who returned to Shun were different from the captured prisoners. Not only will the obedient generals not be humiliated, but they will also be reused according to the ability of the generals. The soldiers who surrendered to Cheng would also be integrated into various units, and even retained the original structure for direct use.
Han Kuangsi sat behind another long note, nodded, and said to Brother Yeluxiu: "That's it, since General Yang and they are interested in submitting to my Da Liao, of course they must be treated with courtesy." After saying that, Han Kuangsi turned his head to look at Yang Xianmao again and said, "Quickly give General Yang a seat." ”
Soon, someone took a round stool and put it in the field, and Yang Xianmao was unceremonious, and sat down in his robe. The Chiyang donkey stood behind him, and there were guards to take him away, and the Chiyang donkey kicked him into a fight, and everyone couldn't help laughing. There was no one to lead the donkey anymore.
The guards took the surrender book in Yang Xianmao's hand and put it on Han Kuangsi's table. Han Kuangsi opened it and read it, it was written by Liu Tinghan, the commander of the Song army, with sincere words, nodded at the moment, and put it aside.
