As for what to do next, the Xinxi Liang army convened the tun chief and above to discuss, some people thought that they should immediately rush to Chang'an to join Li Dao's army, and some people felt that the situation was still unclear, so it was better to continue to defend Xiayang.

In fact, Tong Yuan wanted to subdue Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses under them, after all, he had too few people.

"Sticking to Xiayang not only violates our army's goal of avenging the Taishi, but also misses the opportunity for development, so it is not feasible." Hearing Tong Yuan say this, the faces of the few people who proposed to stick to it were gloomy, and the military officials who suggested returning to Chang'an were happy.

Tong Yuan changed his words and said: "But it is not safe for us to rush to Chang'an, this is not to say that my 100,000 troops in Xiliang can't take Chang'an, but we still have an enemy soldier behind us." That is Xu Rong and Hu Zhenbu, who have just retreated. ”

Huang Yu said: "This is also the case, but they did not surrender to our army or Li Dao and others, and they must still be loyal to the imperial court." We have few soldiers, so it's okay to hold the city, but it's too difficult to deal with them. ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all said that Xu Rong was extraordinary, and the number of enemy troops was superior, and there was no way for a while.

While discussing, Geng Qing got up and said, "A certain talent, I am willing to go and persuade the enemy to surrender."

Tong Yuan thought to himself, Geng Qing went deep into the chaotic army with himself and Zhang Ji last time, and successfully surrendered the enemy army several times his size. There must be a way to do it this time.

So he said, "That's what I'm thinking, but I don't know how you want to convince them?"

Geng Qingdao said: "The first is righteousness, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen have followed Taishi for a long time, and they are all famous tiger generals under their accounts. They fought on the frontier for decades, but only obtained the position of lieutenant general, which was caused by the traitorous ministers who despised the military in the DPRK and China, and the Dashi clan who did not eat the fireworks of the world. I have also experienced it for many years.

"Second, east of Chang'an today, my 100,000 troops in Xiliang are unstoppable, Wang Yun is certainly wise, and Lu Bu is fierce and abnormal, but they can't resist our army's world's best combat power no matter what."

"Third, as far as I know, this Hu Zhen is also from my Xiliang background, especially since he has always been at odds with Lu Bu. Our crusade against Wang Yun and Lu Bu is only good for him. It is estimated that he is likely to join the ranks of the crusade against Wang Yun and Lu Bu together. ”

"Last, but not least. Our army is a subordinate of Weiyang Jun. If they surrender, others are likely to be ostracized and even in danger. After all, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other major generals who counterattacked Chang'an were all under them. ”

"But taking refuge in Weiyang Jun is completely different, which is tantamount to continuing to be loyal to Taishi Dong. At the same time, we need their support, and they don't have to worry about the danger of retaliation. With these four points, there is a great chance of success, and Qing will definitely live up to his mission and persuade them to surrender. ”

After Geng Qing finished speaking, everyone in the army was impressed.

In terms of command, Hu Lang'er's performance is obvious to all, and he has suffered fewer losses in several battles, whether he is commanding cavalry or archers, he is very good, and he is loyal to Tong Yuan.

Huang Yu has elite crossbowmen under him, and he shines in both crises, and he is quite witty and talkative on weekdays. But he often can't talk about the point, and his department is from an inverted fight, and he has strong special combat ability, but the scholars and Haoqiang definitely don't have a good impression of him.

Geng Qing was originally the commander of the Xiliang Army stationed in Xiayang, but he joined late, and his subordinates suffered more battle losses. However, he has a lot of experience, is very courageous, and has good eloquence, and is also familiar with political affairs, and is a rare multi-talented person in the army.

This time, he proposed to go deep into the enemy camp, persuade Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, and be able to summarize these four main points, and there is really no second person in the army who can do it.

Tong Yuan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, Geng Junhou's four-point analysis is the key point, which can be said to be a solution to the cow." But there is still a lack of a sharp blade, what does everyone know? ”

Hu Lang'er said: "I'm afraid that it will take the arrival of Weiyang Jun's department before the other party will really believe it."

Huang Yu specifically disagreed with Hu Lang'er: "I'm afraid this is not the most critical. I think that they will only succumb to the Xiliang army close to Chang'an to capture Chang'an, or to have a large number of men and horses to support us. I think back then, I waited for the thieves in Hedong, but I heard that the strong Dingyuan and Zhou Army and the Taishi Xiliang Army had arrived, so I ......"

Tong Yuan saw that Huang Yu started his mode again, and hurriedly said, "Well, yes, I think that Weiyang Jun and the reinforcements will arrive together, and after these two points are met, I will go to them and surrender them, and only in this way can we ensure the safety of Geng Junhou as much as possible." ”

Geng Qing immediately thanked him, and Tong Yuan continued: "Although a messenger has been sent earlier, now someone needs someone with a new mission to contact Li Dao and other generals and ask for reinforcements,"

Hu Lang'er got up and said: "Although the last general is a Hu person, he is only today because he is appreciated by Weiyang Jun and Tong Xiaowei. Besides, he has served in the Dong family and the Xiliang army for a long time, so he may be able to meet some old people. ”

"Okay, be careful. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, they are enemies of Weiyang Jun and my Xinxi Liang Army. ”

"No!"

If there are few soldiers, it is a loss, and he has not been able to meet more of the scattered Xiliang army, and now there are only a thousand people following him. Think about it, with the help of Jia Xu, Li Dao and others changed from a captain who led thousands of people to become the commander of an army of 100,000.

Jia Xu is still out of self-preservation, and he has such strength without attributing his heart to Li Dao. I don't have a strategist around me now, and the only Zhang I have come into contact with doesn't recognize him, and he is biased towards political talents, how can he subdue Jia Xu or other historical celebrities in the future?

After the morning food was exhausted on the second day, Dong Bai and others led more than 2,000 people to come, and the Dong family was majestic, and Zhang Lu, Shenlong and others accompanied Dong Bai's frame.

Tong Yuan looked carefully, although more than 2,000 people were young and strong men, only 500 were real soldiers, and the rest were people. Fortunately, Zhang Lu once led a large number of bandits in the green forest, and the commander of this temporary soldier and horse was quite proficient.

Tong Yuan immediately led the army out of the city, and before he could greet him, the southwest direction suddenly rolled yellow dust, the flag loomed, and the sound of horses' hooves was endless. Apparently there were thousands of cavalry coming, and it must have been a good soldier.

Suddenly, the militia temporarily pulled up by Dong Bai became timid, even if the Dong family soldiers kept shouting and shouting there, they could only barely hold on. Imagine if these people really go into battle to kill the enemy, it is good to meet the weak and fight a good fight, but once the two armies fight and are anxious, I am afraid that they will flee directly.

I saw that the cavalry that came gradually approached, and Tong Yuan found that the whole army there was cavalry. Several scouts are returning to Tong Yuan's side to report loudly:

"Tell the captain, Hu Lang'er is waiting to contact General Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu, the nephew of General Zhang Ji, will personally lead 5,000 cavalry to support Weiyang Jun."

Tong Yuan was immediately overjoyed, "Okay!" Quickly tell Weiyangjun. Then rest well, and after the war, there will be a reward. ”
