Although he didn't know much about Li Shi before, through this conversation, Zhou Nan was still relieved. Li Shi can be said to be the representative of the middle and upper class of the Han people in Yanyun, who is knowledgeable, has been the champion, and has been an official to Hanlin.

Zhou Nan understood that the Han people in Yanyun were already Huhua, and they were proficient in riding and archery, and they were all in Hu suit. It can be said that they are different from both the Han and Khitan people of the Great Song Dynasty. Because neither the Great Song nor the Liao Kingdom really recognized and accepted them, these Han people had no choice but to defend Yanyun's homeland to protect their homeland and clan. Whoever can keep their homes and interests in Yanyun will be supported by them.

This is the reason why Zhou Nan is confident that he will completely recover the Yanjing area and Pingzhou Road.

The Khitan people in the Yanjing area, except for Yanjing, are already homeless, and there is the princess Yu Liyan in charge of Yanjing, of course, these Khitans will completely support the princess.

The Han and Khitan people in the land of Yanyun were the two major forces that supported Zhou Nan's plan to sit on Yanjing and protect one side.

Li Shi asked Ying to persuade the commander-in-chief of the other three armies of the Pingzhou Army outside the city, and Zhou Nan of course agreed. Zhang Jue is dead, and even the military division has been surrendered to him, what else can these generals who lead thousands of troops do? Fighting, it is obvious that it can't beat the Wansheng army; Run, where can you run? If you want to run elsewhere, occupy a city, and compete with the Wansheng army, then you must first think about whether you can resist the magic car and explosive arrows of the Wansheng army. If the Pingzhou army of the three roads outside the city unites to fight against the Wansheng army, then one of them must be able to get the support of the rest of them—I'm afraid they themselves know that it is impossible.

Anyone can figure it out, and now the only way out is to wait for the Wansheng Army to be absorbed.

This is the case with Ma Fangyu. At first, he accompanied Zhang Jue and Li Shi to garrison Yutian City, and it was not until Zhang Jue gave the order yesterday that he raised troops to follow Zhang Jue and went straight to Zunhua City. Zhang Jue took his pro-army to Li Pei's camp in the east, where he stayed until today he was killed by the Wansheng army's men with an explosive arrow.

Thinking of it, Ma Fangyu was still a little grateful to Zhang Jue, if Zhang Jue lived in his camp, then maybe he would be blown up and killed. I heard that Wan Shengjun's explosive arrows actually shook a few big craters on the ground, so powerful, wouldn't the people around him also suffer?

He also saw the letter of surrender dropped by Wansheng's military chariot last night, and at first he didn't care about the 30,000 army besieging an earthen city, there were no reinforcements inside and outside the city, and there was a shortage of food and grass inside, but it was just a matter of the length of time to support.

However, it was only half a day before a soldier came to report that the Jiedu envoy had been blown up and killed in General Lee's camp in the east. After careful questioning, he learned that Zhang Jueshi's people for Wanshengjun flew to the top of the big tent in a magic car, first cast rockets to force Zhang Jue out, and then cast explosive arrows together, killing Zhang Jue in one fell swoop - I heard that the nine explosive arrows of Wanshengjun's Zhou Nan blew up the Danfengmen gate of Yanjing City. Needless to say, nine arrows, just two explosive arrows, think about how powerful they are?

Ma Fangyu sat alone in the tent, and he really couldn't think of any good way. Wan Shengjun did not send soldiers to order him to surrender, if Wan Shengjun dared to send troops to kill him, he believed that Wan Shengjun would not do such a stupid thing to force people to rebel.

Escape, the area around Yanjing is the territory of the Wansheng Army, and Pingzhou is a small place, so there is really nowhere to hide; Let's fight, if you want to fight, you will wait for others to do it first; Surrender like Di Zhuang, and he is really unwilling, he also has 2,000 cavalry under his command, the soldiers are strong and strong, and Zhang Jue has to rely on him, otherwise he would not have kept him by his side, and finally let him send troops to besiege the city. If he surrenders, he is afraid that Wan Shengjun will collect his soldiers and horses, and give him one or two thousand men and horses at most.

While he was thinking wildly, a soldier suddenly came in, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and handed it to him, "It was sent by the Wansheng Army in the city, and it was put not far outside the camp and left." ”

Ma Fangyu took it and saw two lines of words written in black ink on it, and asked General Ma to see it when he first came to General Li's tent in the west of the city, and was willing to discuss with General Ma, General Li, and General Zhang in the north of the city about going to stay. Below are the signatures of Li Shi and Di Zhuang.

Ma Fangyu knew that Li Shi was also arrested by Wan Shengjun today, and he must have surrendered to Wan Shengjun like Di Zhuang. Since it was in the camp of Li Che in the west of the city, he didn't need to bring many soldiers and horses, and the camps on all sides of Zunhua City were almost connected, with only about thirty or forty zhang of space. It's just that after Zhang Jue was killed at noon today, Wan Shengjun then escorted Li Pei's men and horses in the east to the east city wall to guard them, and the camp in the east was gone.

Since Li Shi and Di Zhuang are going to Li Che's camp, they must not bring many people, otherwise, Li Che will not agree to Li Shi and Di Zhuang to go in at will.

Thinking of this, Ma Fangyu called someone over and asked, knowing that it would be time soon. "I'm in a hurry, and I don't know how to settle Lao Tzu." Ma Fangyu said to himself, let the pro-army outside the tent dress up neatly for himself, take a team of pro-army, and rush to the camp of Li Che in the west of the city.

When they arrived at Li Che's camp, Zhang Jun had already come, and he was talking with Li Che, Ma Fangyu and Li Che had the same temperament on weekdays, and they often had fun together, Zhang Jun was slightly older than the two of them, and Zhang Jun was very urban, and he often did things quietly and unexpectedly, so Ma Fangyu was not very willing to deal with Zhang Jun. It's just that today's situation is special, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the three of them had to wait together to see how Wan Shengjun dealt with them, and to discuss a countermeasure together.

After a while, Li Shi and Di Zhuang came to Li Che's camp on time, and the two of them only brought a few entourages, and there were no soldiers and horses to accompany them. Ma Fangyu and the others were relieved that they were all old people with Li Shi and Di Zhuang, and they were not separated, and the three of them welcomed Li Shi and Di Zhuang in.

After the guest and host sat down, they first talked about Zhang Jue's death, and the five of them couldn't help but lament again. Then Li Shi first said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Li had a deep talk with General Zhou of Wanshengjun, General Zhou is a generous and benevolent person, I am waiting to meet the master, and in the troubled times, it can be regarded as a blessing." ”

Ma Fangyu was not interested in this opening statement, and asked directly, "I don't know how the Wansheng Army will accept us?" Please Li Hanlin tell us about it, so that a few of us can feel at ease. ”

"Yes! Although General Zhou is generous, he also has to take care of the way out of my 5,000 soldiers and horses in the future! Li Che also helped Ma Fangyu and said.

"In that case, then I'll say it directly," Li Shi said, "select one or two capable men from the army and organize them into the Wansheng Army, and you can serve as generals in the Wansheng Army, or you can serve as a garrison in the state and county, and be responsible for the state and county guards and law and order." ”

"What about the rest of the soldiers?" Ma Fangyu asked.

"Turn in the armor and horses, and return to the field." Li Shi said bluntly.

"It turned out that he was going to take away our soldiers and horses! And make him a garrison, and catch him a robber street ruffian! Ma Fangyu shouted dissatisfiedly, and was about to stand up as he spoke, but saw Zhang Jun, who was sitting opposite him, secretly glancing at him, meaning to let him sit down first. Ma Fangyu naturally understood that Zhang Jun and he were grasshoppers on the same rope now, so he muttered and sat down.

"The position of the garrison, the authority is not small, and it is already at the level of assassination. There are two or three thousand men under his command, and they don't have to go into battle to fight. Li Shiwen persuaded.

"We naturally know that Li Hanlin is looking for a way out for us, if we don't have to fight, and if we can be an official of the imperial court, who wants to go into battle and fight? It's just that I and others have generals under us, so let's go back now, persuade my respective generals to submit to the court, and also find a family for my children and grandchildren. If you don't want to submit to the court, just fuck off! Zhang Jun said to Li Shi with a smile.

"Then there is labor. General Di and I will come here tomorrow at noon to meet you. Li Shi saw that Zhang Jun was willing to submit to the court, and said that he would return to the camp and let his generals also return to the court, so he and Di Zhuang said goodbye and went back.

"Since Li Hanlin is going back to the city, then I will return to the camp immediately." Zhang Jun also stood up and walked out of the camp with Li Shi, without talking to Li Che and Ma Fangyu, and left straight.

Ma Fangyu had no choice but to say goodbye to Li Che and go back to his camp.
