Chapter Fifty-Seven: Another Wenchen Military General
Although Pei Renji ordered a retreat, the Wagang army at this moment had already fallen into chaos and could not listen to the order to march at all. In the end, Pei Renji only took Pei Xingyan, Wang Junke and the injured Xie Yingdeng and more than 10,000 remnants of the soldiers to escape from the battlefield desperately, and the rest of the men and horses were either annihilated or captured, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented fiasco for the Wagang army, which had been winning many battles.
At this moment, Pei Renji couldn't take care of the captured Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and other Wagang generals, and fled out of Jingxiang in a hurry like a frightened bird, and fled back to Wagang Village to ask Li Mi for guilt.
On the Sui army's side, after Yang Gao determined that Pei Renji had fled north back to Wagang, he immediately ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, rewarded the whole army, and rewarded Li Siye, Hu Yanzhuo and other meritorious generals.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yang Gao, accompanied by Yu Yunwen, Lai Hu'er, Xue Rengui, Yang Yanzhao, Li Siye and others, summoned Qin Qiong, Qin Yong, Cen Wenwen and Cheng Yanjin, who were still locked up in the prison in Anyang County.
Qin Qiong, Qin Yong, Cen Wenwen and Cheng Yanjin were tied up and escorted into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, except for Cen Wenwen, the other three people all held their heads high, staring at Yang Gao with unyielding expressions, and put on a look that they could not be killed.
Yang Gao stared at the four people in the hall, and secretly instructed the system: "Help this host test the ability of a few of them!" ”
"Dingdong, the detection detection system is being executed, please wait patiently for the host......"
"Ding Dong, the test is complete, the test subject Cen Wenwen, commander 76, force 63, intelligence 93, politics 95."
"Ding Dong, the test subject Qin Qiong, commander 95, force 97, intelligence 84, politics 78."
"Ding Dong, the test subject is Qin Yong, the commander is 73, the force is 99, the intelligence is 51, and the politics is 43."
"Ding Dong, the test subject Cheng Biting Jin, commander 83, force 88, intelligence 86, politics 81."
"Boy, what are you doing sitting on it and pretending? Kill if you want to! Qin Yong saw that Yang Gao had been sitting on top of the head without looking at him, and immediately shouted.
Yang Gao smiled slightly when he heard this, slowly got up and walked in front of a few people, untied the ropes for them one by one, and said with a faint smile: "Several of them are heroes in the world, are they really willing to bury their talents?" ”
Cen Wenwen glanced at Yang Gao deeply, sighed, knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Your Highness is really a benevolent and righteous king, Cen Wenwen is willing to surrender!" ”
"Cen Wenwen, you are also a famous person in the world, why are you so undignified and do such an unfaithful thing!" When Qin Qiong saw Cen Wenwen surrendering, he was immediately furious and scolded sharply.
Cen Wenwen was not annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "General Qin's words are wrong, as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, not to mention that my lord Xiao Mo has been captured alive by His Royal Highness King Zhao, I am already a minister of the dead country, how can I say that I am disloyal?" ”
"What Mr. Cen said is good!" Yang Gao nodded approvingly, then turned his head to Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin Shubao, you are a Sui general, why do you become a thief?" ”
Qin Qiong sighed and said: "Shubao understands what His Highness means, and thanks His Highness for his kindness, but Qin Qiong has betrayed the Great Sui and surrendered to Wagang in the past, if he betrays Wagang and surrenders to the Great Sui today, how will the heroes of the world think of Qin?" ”
"Uncle Bao's words are wrong!" The old general on the side, Lai Hu'er, immediately said loudly, "Uncle Bao, you return to Your Highness, this is not a rebellion, but a return to the right path." You are the old confidant of Marshal Zhang Xutuo, General Zhang died at the hands of Li Mi, you don't want to avenge him but go to Li Mi to work hard, this is really to make the heroes of the world laugh! ”
"Old general, this... Qin Qiong was speechless for a while.
Lai Hu'er struck while the iron was hot and said: "Uncle Bao, the old man knows that you are loyal, and it was also because of the persecution of Yuwenshu, a traitor, that His Royal Highness King Zhao is extraordinary, and the end of Yuwenshu, a traitor, is coming soon, and now is a good opportunity for you to rein in the precipice!" “
Lai Hu'er is Qin Qiong's old boss, and he is as heavy as a mountain to Qin Qiong, under his persuasion, Qin Qiong began to waver, and turned his head to look at Qin Yong and Cheng Yanjin.
Cheng Yanjin saw Qin Qiong turning his head to look at him, and said angrily: "Don't ask me, you have more knowledge than me, and people are smarter than me, I will listen to you all!" “
Qin Yong on the other side also nodded and said, "Father-in-law, no matter what you choose, the child will follow him to the death!" “
Qin Qiong nodded, closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, after a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, I have two conditions, if you can agree, the last general is willing to submit to His Highness!" ”
"The general of the defeated army dares to put forward conditions!" Li Siye on the side was furious and scolded sharply, "The surname is Qin, don't you know what... ”
"Heiye, don't be impatient!" Yang Gao waved his hand to stop Li Siye, and smiled slightly, "General Qin, please speak!" ”
Qin Qiong said in a deep voice: "My family members are still in Wagangzhai, I hope Your Highness can rescue them!" ”
Yang Gao nodded and said, "This is natural, Shubao, don't worry, your family members will definitely bring them to you unharmed!" ”
"The last general thanked His Highness!" Qin Qiong bowed deeply and said with some embarrassment: "There are still many brothers in Wagang Village who have been born and died with me, so Your Highness, the last general hopes that you will not let me go to fight against the Wagang Army!" ”
Yang Gao pondered for a while, and nodded heavily, "Okay, I promise you this matter!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Qiong no longer hesitated, and gave a military salute to Yang Gao dignifiedly, "The last general, Qin Qiong, see His Royal Highness, from now on, he will definitely swear allegiance to the court and His Highness!" If he violates this oath, he will die by the sword one day, and he will not die well! ”
Qin Yong and Cheng Biting Jin saw that Qin Qiong had already made a choice, and they didn't hesitate at the moment, they immediately knelt on the ground, clenched their fists and said: "The last general Qin Yong (Cheng Biting Jin) is willing to submit to the imperial court, swear allegiance to His Highness, and will not give up!" ”
Yang Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Jiangdu, Liangyi Palace.
After Yang Gao's good news came, Yang Guang was overjoyed, and he had not been to the court for more than 20 consecutive days, and he ordered the early court to discuss the agenda.
In the main hall, Yang Guangxing shook the battle report in his hand and said with a smug smile: "Gao'er lived up to my expectations, but it took half a year to quell Xiao Miao's rebellion. ”
Seeing Yang Guang's proud look, the ministers didn't dare to touch Yang Guang's brows, and applauded Yang Gao one after another: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has such ability at a young age, it is really my blessing to the Great Sui!" ”
Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, and then straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Gao'er has escorted the traitor Xiao Mo back to Jiangdu, and everyone said how to deal with this thief?" ”
