"How? Is General Li Kui willing to tie his hands? Cheng Yu knelt down in the county hall after a few cases, gentle and elegant, and said quietly.

"Tie yourself up and let go of my brother Yang Zhi." Li Kui's hair stood erect, his big eyes glared angrily, and he roared sharply, like Zhong Kui, his two big hands had already clenched into fists, but because Yang Zhi fell into the hands of others, he didn't dare to move.

Cheng Yu smiled and said lightly: "General Yang was bound voluntarily, just to stabilize the people's hearts and show sincerity...... Xu Changshi didn't dare to let the soldiers enter the city, General Li Kui might show the sincerity of your conversation? ”

Li Kui was stunned, half a sound, he grabbed the iron helmet on his head irritably, and shouted: "I just said that I should not be allowed to come to this negotiation, not to let me come." Okay, I'm here, in order to negotiate, I haven't worn this Lao Shizi armor among thousands of troops, and today the eldest girl put it on the sedan chair once; For the sake of negotiation, I hate riding horses the most; In order to negotiate, I threw away my two big axes, replaced them with waist knives, and put them at the city gate. Straight thief, straight thief, I'm not sincere like this......"

He jerked off his jet-black iron helmet and threw it on the ground with a "clang", startling the rest of the hall. Yang Zhi glanced at Cheng Yu helplessly, meaning you see, I said that my brother Li Kui is short-tempered, I don't know what he is going to do?

Cheng Yu remained silent, smiling at Zhong Kui's fierce-looking Li Kui.

"Lord, brother, you are miserable. Come on, I Tie Niu is your little soldier, if you don't let me do it, I won't do it, Brother Yang Zhi can do it, and I can do it. Li Kui roared angrily, his voice was like thunder, but his hands took the initiative to tie back.

Li Kui shouted: "That Cheng County Order, tie it up." ”

"Really tied?" Cheng Yu smiled.

"Damn, tie it up...... Let you see that I am sincere in negotiating, we are officials and soldiers, and we will not hurt the people. ……”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will kidnap you and then kill you?"

"You! Don't you dare! My brother Qin Ming led the army outside, we are dead, you can't please us! Li Kui grinned, smiled, and threatened loudly, who said that rough men are not careful?

Cheng Yu turned his head towards Yang Zhi and shook his head helplessly, then turned back and said with a smile: "General Li Kui has no fear, okay, okay, the general's sincerity is believed." You are all loyal and righteous people, and you are true in your words and deeds. ……”

"Is it tied up or not?" Li Kui put his hands behind his back and shouted roughly.

"What's still tied? Two General Yang, put down your hands. ......" Cheng Yu turned back to Yang Zhi and Yang Lin to speak.

Yang Zhi and Yang Lin also smiled and opened the rope in their hands, but it turned out that the ropes in their hands were all tied virtually.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Xu Chang will return you and others, rest assured, all the generals are honest and loyal people, the order is forbidden, and the lord's decree is not violated......"

"Wow, wow, you guys are here to tease me." Li Kui was also stunned, jumped up with both feet, and shouted loudly.

"No, no, no......" Cheng Yu stood up, waved at Li Kui, Yang Zhi and the others, and said loudly: "General Li, it's not a joke. Everyone knows that in the troubled times, soldiers are not as good as bandits, if you don't see the behavior of generals and others, how dare you entrust the lives of thousands of officials and people in Suchang City. The generals strictly abide by the military orders, which shows the management of the army. Governing the army can be seen in the ability of the lord, and the Song State is worthy of the name of benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, and Cheng is impressed. ”

Li Kui laughed, and shouted angrily: "Cheng County Order, you are complimenting me like this, just praising me, what are you doing with my lord?" He's so embarrassed, so miserable. ”

Yang Zhizao freed the rope, walked up to the hall, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a black man, you still don't understand the intentions of the lord......"

Li Kui shouted: "I understand, why don't you understand, hone me, and put a sleeve on me!" Like the cow and the horse......"

Cheng Yu listened, stroked his beard, and sighed: "This shows that your lord has good intentions. Being in the court, being loyal and righteous, how can you do it casually? General Yang is clearly unstoppable, but he can endure it and talk patiently and persuade him; General Li is even more dressed in armor, straddles war horses, abandons swords and axes, and endures; You are all for the sake of national affairs, and you are willing to wronged yourself and restrain yourself, and you are really a hero. ”

Yang Zhi arched his hand and said with a smile: "Cheng County's order is falsely praised, falsely praised." Yang Zhi was even more grateful to Cheng County's Ling for understanding the righteousness. In this way, can my brother Qin Ming lead the army into the city? Our escort army will ensure strict military discipline and not disturb the slightest thing. Soldiers, recite aloud to me the 'Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention for the Escort Army'!"

"Yes!" The disguised soldiers led by Yang Zhi and the negotiators led by Li Kui, who gradually gathered around during the conversation, responded loudly without thinking, "Three disciplines: all actions are under command, not taking a stitch from the masses, and all seizures must be returned to the public." Eight points of attention: speak kindly, buy and sell fairly, repay borrowed things, compensate for damaged things, do not beat and scold people, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse prisoners. "The voice is loud and proud, skillful and confident, never dragging mud and water, anyone who hears it will know that he can memorize it well.

Cheng Yu praised: "The army must be strictly governed, and the strict army can win!" With such military discipline, how can the people not eat pot pulp? How to be invincible? ”

"Cheng Yu is willing to hand over the city!" Cheng Yu Zhengse said, "Xu Chang will be able to live happily under the rule of the Prime Minister." Go and inform General Qin Ming to enter the city. Zhang Fang, you should also inform the people in the city and countryside! ”

"Xie Cheng County Order!" Yang Zhi and Li Kui also solemnly surrendered. With a wave of his hand, a soldier had already run out to inform Qin Ming outside the city. Zhang Fang also immediately led his subordinates to inform the people in the city.

Qin Ming, who was in the camp outside the city, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Yang Zhi and Li Kui are very good, and the task is complete." "Immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and hope that Suchang would advance.

Thousands of military horses, waving flags, swords and guns shining, horses like thunder, all the way to the city of Suchang.

The gate of Xuchang City was wide open, and Cheng Yu, Yang Zhi, and Li Kui led the people in the city to stand at the gate and wait for the arrival of the army.

Qin Ming saw that Cheng Yu led the crowd to greet him, hurriedly dismounted dozens of steps away, strode over, and laughed loudly: "How dare you call the county order to greet you!" ”

Cheng Yu took out the seal ribbon roster, bowed down to hold it up, and said with a smile: "Xu Chang Dai County ordered Cheng Yu to greet the Heavenly Army, Xu Chang was originally under the rule of Dongping, and the power belonged to Dongping, so it should be presented, and the seal and ribbon roster is presented today, and General Qin is invited to accept it." ”

Qin Ming solemnly took the seal roster and said solemnly: "The county order is wise, Qin Mou thanked the county order on behalf of my family!" ”

As soon as the seal and ribbon roster was received, Xu Chang was already included in the pocket of the guards. Qin Ming led the army into the city immediately, and the people in the city saw that the guards did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and the military discipline was strict, so they couldn't help but praise each other, and put their minds at ease.

Within a few days, everything in Xuchang was counted and settled, but Qin Ming only left the ninth battalion of Yang Zhima's army as a garrison for the time being, guarding Xuchang, and he and Li Kui led the army back to Dongping to hand over the order. Naturally, there was another person who returned to Dongping with the army, and that was Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde.
