Huaili, only sixty miles away from Chang'an, stationed here, is Li Wei's cousin Li Ying, when Li Ru with Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei rushed to Huaili, Li Ying had just fought with Guo Yan, obviously, Guo Yan also knew the news of the fall of Chang'an, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to swallow Huaili and Juxian these two troops.

"The general has an order, and the gentleman is not allowed to bring the army into the camp." The soldiers who stopped Li Ru and the others frowned and looked at the Bingzhou Military Road behind Li Ru.

"General Laofu is waiting here." Li Ru looked at Tai Shici and gave him a look.

"Whoa!" Tai Shici understood, nodded, and retreated to the city gate with his own soldiers and horses.

Li Ru brought Dian Wei into the city to see Li Ying.

When he saw Li Ying, Li Ying was a little tired, Chang'an was lost, and his brother didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you vote for that Chen Mo?" Seeing Li Ru, Li Ying was a little unhappy and asked first.

"Although the general is Li Dao's younger brother, does the general really think that Li Dao is the master of success?" Li Ru pressed Dian Wei's arm unhurriedly, signaled him not to be impulsive, knelt down, looked at Li Yingdao: "Since the counterattack on Chang'an last year, what has become of this pass, I don't think there is a need for Confucianism to say, the general should also know, if it goes on like this, don't say that it will clear the universe and redefine the Central Plains, and the generals in the army are like this now, I'm afraid it won't be too long, there will be no food available, no wealth to appease the army, and the general is not an unreasonable person, but also a loyal person, do you really want to go down with that Li Dao until the clan is wiped out?" ”

"Wenyou, this is too much!" Li Ying frowned and shouted.

"No matter who occupies Guanzhong, it is not an exaggeration to wipe out the three clans with the crimes of Li Guo and the others, and General An will be fortunate at that time?" Li Ru asked rhetorically.

Although Li Ying is Li Wei's cousin, but he is more righteous, he used to be an official under Zhao Wen, when Li Wei intended to kill Zhao Wen last year, it was Li Ying who dissuaded him many times, so he saved Zhao Wen's life, which can be regarded as a blessing, when Zhao Wen came to see Chen Mo yesterday, he mentioned this matter, hoping that Chen Mo would save Li Ying's life if possible, at that time Li Ru and others had not yet left the city, Chen Mo personally went to Li Ru and explained the matter.

Of course, the premise is that Li Ying is willing to dissociate himself from Li Dao, after all, Chen Mo wants to control the court, and everyone else can be pardoned, but the crimes of Li Dao and Guo Yan are difficult to pardon, not only to vent the anger of the Son of Heaven, but also to give Sergeant Guan an outlet.

"Why does my brother think that my brother will definitely lose?" Li Ying said a little irritably.

"Chang'an has been lost, Li Dao's grain and grass have no foundation, and the army's heart will be scattered for a long time, and this is one of them; Second, the soldiers under Li Wei's command, now plus the generals and Li Huan's soldiers, are only more than 30,000, and there are only two cities in Huaili and Juxian, sandwiched between Chang'an and Guo Yan. Third, Li Dao has been rampant in Guanzhong for a long time, complaining, and now that he has lost power, who will help him? Li Ru looked at Li Ying seriously and said: "If Li Wei votes for Guo Yan, the two of them may temporarily abandon their previous suspicions because of my lord, but the general thinks that Guo Yan will still trust each other with Li Wei as in the past?" If they are suspicious of each other, how can they fight against the Marquis of Changling? ”

"If I can convince my brother......" Li Ying looked at Li Ru.

"I'm afraid it's hard for the general to convince Li Dao, even if he can, but among the generals of Xiliang, anyone can be pardoned, but only Li Dao and Guo Yan are difficult to pardon, and here is to protect the general's life and leave a bloodline for the Li family, otherwise, when Li Dao's army is defeated and captured in the future, how can the general be spared the disaster of the three clans?" Li Ru said in a deep voice: "This is the time for the Li family to survive, and the general must not leave the Li family to annihilate because of a moment of righteousness!" ”

Extermination......

Li Ying was silent when he heard this, exterminating the clan, this is definitely an unacceptable thing for anyone, but now it seems that the defeat has been decided, and he has to consider what Li Ru said, and he said with some irritability in his heart: "Sir, can you let me think about it or two." ”

"This is not busy, but I have to remind the general that if he hesitates any longer, when Li Dao comes here, even if the general decides to surrender, I am afraid that he will have to kill with the Li Dao brothers." Li Ru stood up unhurriedly, looked at Li Yingdao, and said: "General, my lord doesn't want to see the general and his brother kill each other, Li Dao's defeat is decided, but he shouldn't be defeated in the hands of the general!" ”

Fratricide? Li Ying thought of fighting against Li Dao on the battlefield, and his heart was even more painful: "This is definitely not what I want!" ”

"Therefore, the general should also make a decision as soon as possible, once Li Dao arrives, the general will only accompany Li Dao all the way to the extermination of the clan, or fight with him on the battlefield. I hope the general thinks twice! Li Ru said in a deep voice: "I will say goodbye." ”

"Sir, wait." Li Ying stopped Li Ru, hesitated for a moment and said, "If you make a vow, I don't know how Chen Mo will treat me?" ”

"Li Xian and Li Li brothers cannibalized each other, when Chang'an broke the city, Li Jin died on the battlefield, Li Xian was also shot by Huangfu Song and others, my lord can guarantee that in addition to Li Dao, as much as possible to ensure that the Li family is not exterminated, after the general returns to Chang'an, he will go to Sikong's mansion to intercede with Sikong, and he can escape." Li Ru told the situation of Chang'an City, the three generations of the Li family are desperate, but Li Ying's son is no longer in Chang'an, but he has been spared, which is also the reason why Li Ru came to Li Ying first, Li Dao and the three of them are the sons of Li Huan and Li Wei, and it is difficult to persuade Ju County.

"Alas~" Li Ying was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "The last general is willing to surrender to the Marquis of Changling, but he doesn't know what to do?" ”

"The general only needs to take the soldiers and horses out of the city, hand over Huaili to General Tai Shici to garrison, and the general will lead the army back to Chang'an with me, as for other things, the general doesn't have to worry, the lord has his own arrangements." Li Ru smiled.

As soon as Chang'an was lost, Li Dao was gone, and now Li Ying surrendered, even if Li Dao fled to Guo Yan, it would be difficult for him to return to heaven.

"The last general, let it be arranged!" Li Ying sighed and bowed to Li Ru.

"Then transfer troops out of the city, leave some soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in the hands of General Taishi will not be enough to resist Guo Yan." Li Ru nodded and smiled.

"Whoa!" Li Ying nodded in agreement, and then left 2,000 men and horses for Tai Shici to help defend the city, and brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and followed Li Ru into Chang'an to meet Chen Mo.

Early the next morning, Li Ru took Li Ying back to Chang'an to see Chen Mo.

For Li Ying, Chen Mo was naturally appeased, and named Li Ying as the captain of Dangkou, and dismantled his 5,000 soldiers and horses into three battalions, Li Ying led one battalion, and the remaining two battalions were temporarily handed over to Bai Bi and Bao Geng to lead.

At this point, Chen Mo's military power in Chang'an was more consolidated, and at the same time, Li Ru also took Dian Wei to a trip to Ju County, compared to Li Ying, Ju County was much simpler, Li Huan, Li Wei and Chen Mo had a murderous feud, and it was impossible to surrender sincerely.

"Two generals, don't be impatient!" Li Ru did not come under the banner of Chen Mo this time, but as an old friend.

"My two heirs are gone, how can I calm down?" Li Huan said angrily: "You should gather all the soldiers and horses to meet with your brother and fight against the thief!" ”

"Indeed!" Li Ru nodded and said: "The revenge of killing the son, not the same day, the two generals' intentions, Confucianism can also understand, but Confucianism came this time, but also for this matter, I have heard that Li Dao led his troops to bypass Chang'an and throw himself into Huaili, but with General Li's current strength, it may not be easy to conquer Chang'an, but there is a plan in the future, the two generals might as well listen to it?" ”

"Oh?" Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Ru and said, "What strategy does Sir have to teach my brother?" ”

"Have you ever thought about surrendering to the Marquis of Changling?" Li Ru looked at the two and asked with a smile.

"Li Ru, what do you mean by this?" Li Huan took the case and glared at Li Rudao.

"The two generals are calm." Li Ru comforted the two and said with a smile: "It's not really a fall, it's a ......"

"Surrender?" Li Huan frowned.

"Not bad!" Li Ru nodded and said: "Although Chen Mo occupies Chang'an now, after all, the initial occupation, the foundation is unstable, if the two generals lead their troops to vote, it can be regarded as a momentum for him, intimidating, naturally happy, will inevitably meet the two, when the time comes, the two can ask Chen Mo to come to surrender in person, as long as Chen Mo arrives, we will ...... immediately."

Li Ru made a throat-slitting gesture, and the two of them nodded again and again.

"As long as this person can be killed, his subordinates will be chaotic, and they can take advantage of the situation to recapture Chang'an. Li Ru smiled and said, "What do the two generals think?" ”

"Mr. is a hundred times more resourceful than me, and I am willing to listen to Mr.'s dispatch." The two didn't hesitate too much, and bowed to Li Ru.

"Without further ado, we should send troops immediately, and before General Li runs out of food, take Chang'an, so that General Li has no worries." Li Ru got up and helped the two of them up.

"At your fingertips." The two agreed, and immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to set off as a whole army, Juxian County and Chang'an were separated by seventy miles, and when they arrived in Chang'an, it was already early the next morning, Li Huan had already sent someone on the road to hand over the surrender table, and asked Chen Mo to come to accept the surrender, and Chen Mo also gave a reply overnight, and agreed to accept the surrender.

In the early morning, Li Huan and Li Wei, who had already arranged everything, looked at the closed Chang'an City, and Chen Mo's shadow had not been touched, so how could they have the intention of leaving the city to surrender.

"Sir, what does Chen Mo mean by this?" Li Huan frowned and looked at Li Rudao.

"In my opinion, it's better to really descend, right?" Li Ru looked at the generals behind Li Huan and Li Wei, and saw that the other party bowed slightly to him, and smiled.

"What do you mean?" Li Wei sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Li Ru with an unkind gaze.

"Ru suddenly felt that General Li was by no means the opponent of the Marquis of Changling, and it was better to surrender at this moment than to be defeated and die, and still be able to save his life." Li Ru looked at the two of them and said sincerely.

"Li Ru!" Li Huan pulled out his saber and looked at Li Ru, his eyes flashing with fierce light: "You calculate my brother!?" ”

"It's stupid!" Li Ru laughed and stepped back and said, "Kill!" ”

"Puff~" Dian Wei, who had been waiting on the side, did not hesitate to pick up the double halberd, and the halberd fell, and the two heads didn't even have time to react, and they had already rolled to the ground, and at the same time, two teams of people and horses were quickly killed on both sides of this army, and surrounded them, with the help of several generals who rebelled against Li Ru in advance, this surrender was successful, so far, Li Dao was only left alone.
