The two main generals of the Taiping army were killed and captured, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops fell into disintegration, except for a few diehards who resisted stubbornly and were killed, all the others were disarmed and surrendered.

When the sky was light, the remnants of the enemy in Yulin Pass were completely wiped out, and the Sui army battle flags were flying high on the four city gates, hunting in the wind.

In the hall of the Yulin Guanjun Ya, Yue Fei sat in the first place, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, bring me Shi Dakai, a traitorous thief." ”

A moment later, Shi Dakai, who was tied up by the five flowers, was escorted into the lobby, standing tall and glaring at Yue Fei, who was seated in the seat.

"Bold, a prisoner under the stairs, why don't you kneel when you see Yue Shuai?" Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming had a hot temper, and when he saw Shi Dakai being so arrogant, he became angry, pointing at Shi Dakai and scolding angrily.

Shi Dakai faced Qin Ming without fear, and said loudly: "I, Shi Dakai, am the general of the Heavenly Kingdom, kneeling down to heaven and earth, kneeling down to my parents and the king of heaven, how can I have the truth of kneeling and cutting my teeth against the enemy?" ”

Syllable!

Yue Feideng was also angry, slapped the table and shouted: "What a stubborn man, he still doesn't repent until now, where is the knife and axe?" Push this thief out of the way for me to show the public! ”

Several knife and axe men immediately stepped forward, pushed Shi Dakai and walked out. Shi Da opened his face without fear, and laughed wildly: "Why be afraid of death? Twenty years later, I, Shi Dakai, am a good man again! Hahaha-"

"Yue is handsome and slow!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhonghei on the side spoke out to dissuade him: "Yue Shuai, this Shi Dakai is also an iron-clad man, and his art of war and strategy are all at the upper level. ”

Wang Shouren also echoed: "Yue Shuai, the lower officials heard that this Shi Dakai is the first general of the Taiping Army, and he has a very high prestige in the army, if he can persuade this person to surrender, he will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Taiping Army and accelerate the disintegration of the hearts of the Taiping Dao." ”

Yue Feiping usually respects the most loyal and righteous people, just now Shi Dakai laughed wildly before facing death The scene made him have a little good impression of Shi Dakai, after listening to the words of Wang Shouren and Wang Zhonghei, he waved his hand and said: "The two of you are reasonable, come on, bring Shi Dakai back to the lobby for me!" ”

Shi Dakai, who was already about to be beheaded, was escorted back to the lobby again. Before he could speak, Yue Fei, who was at the top, said lightly: "Shi Dakai, originally you rebelled with Hong Xiuquan and deserved to be executed. But Ben Shuai sees that you are very capable, and my Da Sui is currently employing people, if you are willing to submit to our army, Ben Shuai will play the Son of Heaven and forgive you for your capital crimes! ”

Shi Dakai sneered: "I, Shi Dakai, know the word loyalty, and since I have already recognized the king of heaven as the master, how can I send others down to do that disloyal and unrighteous thing?" ”

"General Shi's words are wrong!"

Wang Shouren, who was on the side, immediately retorted: "My Great Sui is the orthodoxy of the world, and Lingnan is also under the rule of my Great Sui. Hong Xiuquan's conspiracy and rebellion is really a chaotic minister and thief, and the general following him to commit rebellion is the real disloyalty and injustice. ”

Yue Fei also said in a deep voice: "General Shi, since Hong Xiuquan rebelled, for his ambition, the people of Lingnan have broken their homes and destroyed their houses, their wives and wives have been separated, and the people have no livelihood. But although he himself claimed that all beings in heaven were equal, he actually indulged in wine. If I'm not mistaken, this thief took fifteen concubines in just two months after he started his army. Does General Shi really want to be foolish and loyal to this shameless god? ”

Shi Dakai's expression changed when he heard this, as if a string in his innermost part had been stirred, and a trace of shaking flashed in his eyes.

Yue Fei saw the wavering in Shi Dakai's heart, and continued to persuade him to surrender while the iron was hot: "General Shi, I, the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, have always ruled the country with benevolence and virtue, as long as General Shi sincerely surrenders, the Son of Heaven will not only not hold you accountable, but will reward the general for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." ”

Wang Zhongsi also admonished beside him: "General Shi, you and I have clashed many times on the battlefield, although each is its own master. But Wang still admires the general's ability to arrange troops. Is the general really willing to bury this talent? ”

Under the repeated persuasion of Yue Fei, Wang Zhongsi and Wang Shouren, Shi Dakai experienced a fierce ideological struggle, and finally sighed, knelt down on one knee and said: "Thanks to all of you for your love and persuasion, Shi Dakai is willing to surrender and go to the soup for the Great Sui, and he will not hesitate!" ”

Yue Fei immediately walked in front of Shi Dakai, helped him up with a smile, and said happily: "Those who know the times are Junjie, General Shi is a wise choice, he will definitely be a marquis and a general, and his name will go down in history!" ”

The Sui army rested on Yulin Pass for a day, and the next day Yue Fei ordered the whole army to pull out, with the newly surrendered Shi Dakai as the vanguard of the front, and went all the way to the south, vowing to capture Hong Xiuquan alive, destroy Taiping Dao, and pacify the entire Lingnan.

Shi Dakai has outstanding ability and a high status in the Taiping army, and many defenders along the road saw that the leading general of the Sui army turned out to be Shi Dakai, the former king of Ji, and they all went into chaos without a fight, and opened the city gate to surrender to the Sui army. The Sui army marched south unhindered all the way, and entered Jiaozhi County, the last nest of Taiping Road.

。。。。。。。。。。

Bang!

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu!

At the same time that Yue Fei led the army into Jiaozhi County, the city of Jiangdu had already ushered in a new year. Families are putting up lanterns to welcome the new year, adults are busy preparing food and worshipping their ancestors, and children gather in groups and run happily throughout the street. The whole city of Jiangdu reverberated with the laughter of children.

The Jiangdu Palace is also very lively, the heat of the Central Plains victory has not yet dissipated, and Yue Fei also came from Lingnan good news, Yang Gao took the opportunity to set up a banquet in the palace, banquet the ministers, and celebrate this success.

Dozens of dancers in the Qianyang Hall shook the man dance, cheering up the civil and military songs and dances of the Manchu Dynasty. Many ministers of civil and military affairs raised their glasses to celebrate the Sui army's successive victories, and they staggered each other, talking and laughing with each other, drinking and enjoying themselves.

Yang Gao and the ministers were drinking to their heart's content, when suddenly a captain guarding the city gate came to ask to see the Son of Heaven, and immediately knelt down to worship Shi Li after being summoned into the palace: "Your Majesty, just now a few Turks came to the city gate and wanted to enter the city, and the last general told them that they were now under control, and let them find an inn outside the city to complain overnight, and then enter the city tomorrow." But instead of listening, they tried to break in, and now they have all been taken down by the last general, and they are being held outside the palace gate to listen to His Majesty's orders. ”

Yang Gao was stunned when he heard this, and recalled: "I remember that since the Turkic Shibi Khan led hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen to besiege my father Yuyanmen, my Great Sui has no contact with the Turks. Why did a few Turkic messengers suddenly come today, could it be that there is a change in the steppe? Bring these men to the temple quickly! ”
