Chapter 66: Deng Long surrenders

Wei Yan and Yang Zaixing led their troops into the city, Wei Yan captured Deng Long, the defender of Huangzhou who led the army to support, in Dongcheng, and the defenders in the city knelt down and surrendered when they saw that the general situation had gone, and Yuan Yao immediately led the army into the city.

The army rested for the night, and the next day Yuan Yao summoned everyone to discuss in the general's mansion in the city, "Shiyuan, in the first battle of Huangzhou, what were the casualties of our army, and how many were captured?" ”

Pang Tong got up and replied: "Back to the lord, in the first battle of Huangzhou, our army suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, captured more than 5,000 soldiers, captured countless money, grain and ordnance, and the grain and grass in the city were enough for our army to eat for more than a month, in addition, General Wenchang also captured Deng Long, the defender of Huangzhou!" ”

As for the captured sergeants, the first ten out of ten to select the sergeants to be incorporated into the camp of the dead soldiers, each army can select the elite from the soldiers to supplement the battle losses according to the old practice, and as for the rest of the soldiers, they will be placed in Huangzhou City first and let them transport grain and grass for our army."

Everyone stood up and bowed, "No, I will receive the order!" ”

Yuan Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Deng Long, the guard general of Huangzhou, this person is very cautious in using soldiers, Wen Chang, bring this person to me!" ”

"No, the last general will take the order!"

Wei Yan was ordered to walk out of the main hall, and then walked in with an ironclad man with his arm tied by a rope.

After Deng Long entered the main hall, he fell to the ground on one knee and said, "Deng Long, the general of the defeated army, meets the general!" ”

Yuan Yao saw Deng Long's behavior like this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I am the general of the Son of Heaven, Huang Zu is tyrannical and unreasonable, he crossed the border to attack my city without permission, I led the troops to attack Huang Zu this time on behalf of the Son of Heaven to defeat the ministers, why did the general help Huang Zu to stop my army?" ”

Deng Long bowed again and said, "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave." The sin will know that the sin is too serious, and please punish the general! ”

Yuan Yao personally stepped forward to help Deng Long up, untied the ropes on his arms with his own hands, and said, "The general must have been deceived by that Huang Zu, so he raised troops to resist Wang Shi." Huang Zu is guilty of deep arrogance and self-deprecation, this battle will undoubtedly be lost, I don't know if the general is willing to help me crusade against the minister? ”

Deng Long closed his eyes and thought about it, sighed, and said: "The general does not underestimate me for the defeat of the army, and now he treats me with such courtesy; Although the sin general is vulgar, he also knows the truth of 'the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman'. If the general does not suspect the crime, the general will be shallow, and the criminal will be willing to die for the general! ”

Yuan Yao laughed when he heard this, and said: "Hahahaha, I don't like the land of Huangzhou, but I like Deng Long's help!" ”

After Yuan Yao smiled, he glanced at Wei Yan and said, "Deng Long, you were captured by Wei Yan, this can be regarded as a fate." Wei Yan is curious about using soldiers and plotting risks, you are only cautious in using soldiers, the two of you can complement each other, so you will join the Longxiang army as a partial general and be Wei Yan's deputy, the two of you must be sincere and united as generals. ”

"No, I'll take the order!"

"Zhang Dingbian, you lead the officers and soldiers of the navy to clean up the moat and river, and try to restore the city defense of Huangzhou."

"No, the last general will take the order!"

"Alright, you guys go down and do things first."

After the generals retreated, only Yuan Yao and Pang Tong were left in the main hall, Yuan Yao looked at Pang Tong and said: "Shi Yuan, what you just said is right, Huangzhou is just a strong city of a county, if it is not for the opportunity to reduce casualties, our army can break it in three days at most; And Xiakou and Sanjiangkou are the world's famous dangerous fortresses, its terrain is dangerous, and Huang Zu mobilized heavy troops to garrison this place, how should my army break it? ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and said: "Regarding the capture of Xiakou and Sanjiangkou, the minister already has a little clue, but he still doesn't know if this plan can be successful, so the minister did not inform the lord." Now that Deng Long has surrendered to the lord, the minister can add two percent of the chances of victory, and the lord only needs to march step by step, and wait until the Sanjiangkou minister has his own clever plan to break the enemy! But before that, I still need the lord to lend Deng Long to me, and I want him to accompany his old acquaintances Zhang Shuo and Chen Liang. ”

Zhang Shuo and Chen were captured together with Huang Zu's son Huang Jie, and their wives and children were in Jiangxia, plus they thought that Huang Zu would soon redeem Huang Jie, and Huang Zu would definitely redeem them by the way, so when facing Yuan Yao's solicitation, both of them politely rejected Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao didn't pay much attention to the two of them, plus he was about to attack Jiangxia, so Yuan Yao didn't force the two of them to surrender, but just took them and Huang Shot into custody together.

Yuan Yao heard that Pang Tong borrowed Deng Long, nodded and responded: "This matter is easy, Shi Yuan can go to find him, just say that I asked him to cooperate with you." ”

After Pang Tong said goodbye to Yuan Yao, he came to the Longxiang Army to look for Deng Long, Deng Long heard that Pang Tong was coming to him, and hurriedly welcomed him into the big tent in person, "I don't know if the military division has arrived, and the last general will miss the welcome, and ask the military master to forgive the sin!" What does the military advisor command, but please be blunt, the last general will definitely go all out! ”

Pang Tong stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "General Deng is polite, you and I are working under the command of the lord, and we still have to be closer in the future." Does General Deng know that Zhang Shuo and Chen are also in Huangzhou? ”

Deng Long shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know about this yet. ”

Pang Tong patted Deng Long on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, now does the general know?" The previous general and the two of them were both generals under Huang Zu, so they must have a good relationship, right? Now that the three of you are both in Huangzhou, it can be regarded as fateful, and the general still has to be closer to the two of them. ”

Deng Long pondered for a moment, revealing a look of sudden realization, and said, "The military advisor wants me to surrender the two of them for the lord?" Previously, the three of us were under the command of Huang Zu as generals, and our friendship was not bad, and the last general would definitely go all out to persuade the two of them to surrender! ”

Pang Tong shook his head and replied with a smile: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" They are different from the generals, their wives and children are all in Anlu, and now that Anlu is still in the hands of Huang Zu, how can the two of them easily surrender to the lord? ”

"The general doesn't have to think about it so much, the two of them are now being held in the guards, the general only needs to go to the two of them to drink and talk about the old relationship, I have already told the sergeant, they will not stop you. One thing you should keep in mind is that you can see them drinking, but don't let them be present while drinking! ”

Although Deng Long didn't understand what Pang Tong meant, he still nodded and responded: "No, the last general will take the order, and I will go to the two of them to drink and talk about the old relationship later!" ”

"Well, that's very good!"
