Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yang Feng Surrenders
On the other side, Cui Geng led his troops to Jinyang for a day, but the siege was not smooth, Jinyang is Taiyuan County, the city is already strong, plus Yang Feng left a lot of soldiers and horses, although Cui Geng's appearance was a little unprepared, but also failed to rush in.
"General Cui, a squire from Jinyang has sent grain and straw, and he is asking to see him outside the camp." At night, when Cui Geng had just set up camp and was thinking about how to break the city, a general came in and bowed.
Cui Geng led the army over this time, and he didn't bring much grain and grass, but he robbed a batch of Yang Feng's grain and grass on the road, so he didn't have to worry about grain and grass for the time being.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't let them enter the camp first, let them lead the team into the camp to meet." ”
"Whoa!"
Soon, a scribe of about forty came in and saluted Cui Geng, "Jinyang Li Fu, I have seen the general." ”
"No need to be polite." Cui Geng felt that the name Li Fu was a little familiar, looked at Li Fu and said, "I don't know if Mr. is here to ......."
"Li Qingnai is my son, and this time I came to help the general break the city because I was dragged by Li Qingzhi!" Li Fu smiled.
"Oh?" Cui Geng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Chen Mo had told him before that there would be gentry to help him here, but he didn't expect it to be from the Li Qing clan, so he got up and smiled at the moment: "I don't know what strategy Mr. has to teach me?" ”
"In Jinyang City, there is a veteran named Zhang Chong, in the past he had accompanied General Zang Min to fight Hu Man, although he has been to Shi, but his clan is quite popular in Jinyang, Yang Feng is a thief, killing too guarded, occupying Jinyang has made the old general quite indignant, but at that time Yang Feng was powerful, the old general was powerless to resist, now I heard that the envoy Jun led the troops to attack, and we have made an agreement, as long as Chen Envoy Jun leads the troops to come, and contacts Chen Envoy Jun outside, the old general contacts the old department in the city, and opens the city for the army!" Li Fu smiled.
Zang Min is the father of Zang Hong, in his early years, he was the Taiyuan Taishou and the Xiongnu Zhonglang General in Bingzhou, and he was quite popular in Bingzhou.
Cui Geng said happily when he heard this: "Now that my army has arrived, I don't know how the veteran will communicate with us?" ”
Li Fu said with a smile: "Before the general came here, he had already discussed with the old general, if the old general was ready, he would raise the fire as a signal, and if the general had met with the next, he would respond with the fire, and someone would open the city gate at that time!" ”
Cui Geng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to prepare.
The next thing was much simpler, for the sake of prudence, when a large fire was lit up at the head of the city that night, Cui Geng did not immediately lead the army into the city, but sent a group of men and horses to occupy the city gate and other important places, and the army poured into the city like a tide.
The general defending the city did not expect the city to be broken so quickly, when he reacted, Cui Geng was already in the city, under the leadership of the veteran general, occupied the government office and other important places, although the alarm was issued in time to gather people to stabilize the situation and drive Cui Geng out of the city, but many gentry in the city were already dissatisfied, and set fire everywhere in the city, so that the defenders did not know where the enemy was.
In the dark night, as if the whole city was fighting in all directions, many defenders were in a daze, or fled, or knelt down to ask for surrender, the rout was difficult to contain, and the defenders were killed in the chaos of the army, until the second half of the night when the fighting had gradually stopped, they were found in the canal.
Jinyang fell, and Yangyi, which had fewer defenders, did not hold out for too long before it was broken by Chengfang, and the Yuci defenders fell one after another in Yanjian Jinyang and Yangyi, and Yang Feng was restrained by Chen Mo in Qi County and could not return to help, so he chose to surrender.
"Puff~" Qi County, Yang Feng's camp, looking at the soldiers who fled back from Jinyang and Yuci, Yang Feng sat on the ground a little godlessly, speechless for a long time, and the generals in the tent also fell into silence, and now they don't even have the bargaining chips to make peace with Chen Mo, no wonder Chen Mo has just dragged them these days, not letting them leave, and not going to war, it turns out that they have already been deployed.
But what is puzzling is that there are not many defenders in Yangyi and Yuci, but Jinyang has left heavy troops to guard, how can it be broken so easily? It's just that there is no need to think about this question now.
"Lord, General Yang Ping is back!" A general hurried in and said to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng's eyes were distracted, as if he hadn't heard, and a general said, "Lord, when Yang Ping comes back, there may be good news." ”
The city is gone, what good news can there be? No one said this, but now, most of the thoughts of the generals in this tent are naturally not here.
Yang Feng nodded godlessly, and the general hurriedly said, "Quick, go and invite General Yang Ping in!" ”
"Whoa!"
Soon, Yang Ping walked briskly and saw Yang Fengdao: "Lord, I heard about ...... in the city."
Yang Feng looked at Yang Ping and nodded silently: "Chen Mo has detained you and others in the past few days, and sent troops to delay our army, in order to attack Jinyang and Yangyi, and now ...... Alas~"
Yang Ping knelt down and said: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the lord!" ”
Yang Feng shook his head and said, "Then Chen Mo already has the intention of annexation, how can he let me get my wish?" This is not the fault of the virtuous brothers. ”
"General Yang!" A general looked at Yang Ping and said anxiously: "I wonder if Chen Yuanjun asked you to pass the word?" ”
"You ......" Yang Ping frowned and looked at everyone: "Now is the time when our army is in danger of survival, you can't wait to think of a strategy to break the enemy, so impatient, where is the lord!?" ”
"The grain and grass in the army can last for three days at most, but the news of the fall of Jinyang may spread soon, and once the news spreads, the three armies will be in chaos without a fight." Yang Feng shook his head and sighed, "Chen ...... What does the envoy say? ”
"Then Chen Mo asked the general to hand over the military power, tens of thousands of military power, but he only promised to let the general be the master of the account in name only, the last general naturally couldn't agree, he has sternly refused, but the generals can make proper arrangements." Yang Ping shook his head and said: "But the lord treats me like a mountain, and now when the lord is in danger, we should work together to fight against Chen Mo!" ”
This......
The generals looked at Yang Ping and did not speak.
Yang Feng opened his mouth, looked at the generals around him again, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Yang Ping, I bother you to go to the city again, tell the envoy, and say that I am willing to surrender, not to ask for officials, but to ask the envoy to return to my hometown......"
"Lord, how does this work?" Yang Ping said with a disgruntled face: "We are all willing to fight to the death!" ”
"General Yang, the general trend has gone!" A general couldn't help but say: "At this time, we are willing to fight to the death, and the officers and soldiers in the army may not be willing, surrendering at this moment, you can still keep your family small, but if you fight to the death, I am afraid it will ......."
The back roads have been copied by others, not to mention that at this time, they may not be able to beat Chen Mo, even if they can fight, what can they do if they win the last battle?
"Go, inform Chen Envoy Jun that Yang is willing to surrender!" Yang Feng sighed, even if he wants to fight now, I'm afraid that no one around these generals is willing to fight with him again, looking at Yang Ping, Yang Feng sighed in his heart, in the end, it is really his own family that can be relied on, but unfortunately, now, even if he wants to fight again, I am afraid that these generals will give their heads to Chen Mo as soon as possible, it is better to take the initiative to surrender, at least they can keep their families small.
"Lord!" Yang Ping glared at Yang Feng and said, "We still have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we may not be defeated." ”
"This is a military order!" Yang Feng said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!" Yang Ping saluted Yang Feng reluctantly and said, "The last general will go!" ”
"Be gentle......" Yang Feng couldn't help but say when he saw Yang Ping turn around and leave.
"The last general has his own measure!" Yang Ping bowed solemnly and turned to leave.
Looking at the direction Yang Ping left, Yang Feng shook his head and sighed, sure enough, only tribulation can see the truth.
……
Qi County, Government Office.
"My lord, I have persuaded Na Yang Feng to lead the whole army to surrender." Yang Ping knelt on one knee and saluted Chen Mo.
"Good, good!" Chen Mo got up and stroked his palms and smiled: "I really haven't misjudged people, Master Yang is really a rare talent." ”
"Lord, when will you be surrendered?" Yang Ping asked.
"Tomorrow, you go back and tell Yang Feng that tomorrow I will personally surrender, and let him seal the soldiers and horses of the three armies and surrender outside the city." Chen Mo nodded and said, this surrender is like being an enemy, don't be careless, although the overall situation has been decided, but the more this time, the more you can't relax your vigilance.
"Well, I'll do it at the end!" Yang Ping hurriedly bowed and got up to leave.
"Lord, why don't you kill such a villain?" Seeing Yang Ping leave, Dian Wei couldn't help but ask, he usually hates such two-faced people the most.
"This person is still useful." Chen Mo smiled and didn't explain much, a gentleman has a gentleman's usage, a villain has a villain's usage, a force only has a gentleman and no villain, that is not necessarily a good thing, nor is it realistic.
"What good can he do?" Dian Wei said disdainfully.
"It's very useful." Chen Mo smiled and summoned Gao Shun, Bao Geng, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng to discuss the surrender tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Yang Feng led the army, put the weapons aside, and came to the outside of Qixian to accept Chen Mo's surrender, Chen Mo was very well prepared, Bao Geng and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were around, once the other party had a change, they would immediately rush to kill, Chen Mo personally accepted Yang Feng's surrender, Yang Feng was named the main book, and his generals were also sealed one by one, ready to be brought back to Hedong with Yang Feng, as for the army, it was handed over to Gao Shun to deal with, and ordered Gao Shun and Bao Geng to be the cavalry captain, in charge of the military of Taiyuan County, Cui Geng temporarily for Taiyuan County, dealing with Taiyuan government affairs, And the court on the table please be the pastor of the state, and the shepherd guards the state.
On the tenth day of the first month of April, after Chen Mo arranged the affairs of Taiyuan, he took Yang Feng, Xu Huang and other generals to set off to return to Hedong, from the raid to the defeat of Yang Feng, the sum of the front and back was only half a moon, and then dealt with some Taiyuan government affairs and delayed some time, and when Chen Mo led his troops back to Anyi, it was April 13, and there were only five days left before the wedding......
