Chapter 512: The Ploy Succeeded
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Cen Peng is a man who is arrogant in his bones. At this time, he was obviously talking nonsense, but his expression and attitude when he spoke were like giving people a favor, as if he was giving people a great favor.
People who have a little worse concentration, in front of such Cen Peng, unconsciously have the urge to kneel down and thank him.
Zhao Gui was not only sweating on his head at this time, but even the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat. Cen Peng said unhurriedly: "General Zhao, even if you don't want to think about yourself, at least you have to think about the tens of thousands of brothers in the Gaohu Army, even if you don't think about them, shouldn't you think about their families?" Today's battle, the dead
Enough is enough, and I really don't want to see more people die. General Zhao, there are two paths in this life and death, how are you going to go? ”
Zhao Gui wiped his sweat vigorously, and the generals in the city gate tower looked at him with blank eyes.
A famous general muttered in a low voice: "Qi Bei and Zhang Huai have both died in battle, Dongshan and Shanghuai...... I'm afraid it's not far from death, and when Liu Xiu finishes cleaning them up, the next thing is to clean us up! ”
Another famous general's face was ugly, and he said: "General, when we unveiled the rod, we just wanted to have something to eat. Now that King Xiao is willing to appease us, why don't we just follow King Xiao? ”
"But, what if Liu Xiu deceives us? Once we surrender, we will be slaughtered by others, and I will be slaughtered by others! Some generals frowned and said worriedly.
"No, King Xiao is benevolent, true to his word, the world knows, since King Xiao is willing to surrender us, he will never kill us!"
Hearing this, many of the generals of the Gaohu Army nodded their heads again and again. Liu Xiu has a gentle temperament and benevolence, and takes 'people without faith and no standing' as the principle of doing things, which is reflected in the efficacy at this time.
When it comes to Liu Xiu's personality, even the Hebei rebel army, which fought with Liu Xiu in a bloody battle, has to give a thumbs up and praise his good character.
People looked at Zhao Gui more eagerly, and couldn't help but say, "General! Zhao Gui, who was silent, slowly raised his head, looked around at the people present, looked at the eagerness in people's eyes, and the desire to survive, he sighed heavily and said, "Okay!" We have tried our best, but there is no way to return to the sky, to the present
There is no other choice but to surrender! ”
Hearing this, the generals of the Gaohu Army present all breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Zhao Gui one after another, saying, "The general is wise!" What a blessing we have been waiting for! ”
Zhao Gui smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Cen Peng outside the city and said, "General Cen just said, but what King Xiao meant?" ”
The old god Cen Peng said on the ground: "Of course! ”
"How can I believe you without evidence?"
Cen Peng patted the wooden box in his arms and said, "The king's token is here, it can be used as a certificate!" ”
Zhao Gui stretched his neck, carefully looked at the wooden box in Cen Peng's arms, and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what it was. He asked puzzledly, "What is General Cen carrying?" ”
Cen Peng opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing the Chixiao Sword inside, and said, "This is the sword that the king never leaves his body, the Chixiao Sword!" There is Chixiao here, I don't know if it can be used as a certificate? ”
"Chixiao Sword! It turns out that this is the Chixiao Sword! ”
"It is said that Gao Zu used this sword to kill Bai Mang and won the world!"
"After King Xiao is the ancestor, he got the Chixiao Sword, this world will be owned by King Xiao in the future, if we really follow King Xiao in the future, there will be a share of us in this world!" A general said excitedly.
Zhao Gui's face did not show excitement, but showed sadness, he nodded at Cen Peng, and said: "General Cen, I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that King Xiao and General Cen can treat my brothers well in the future!" ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword from his side, and placed it across his neck, making a gesture to wipe his neck.
This situation can scare the surrounding people a lot, and two generals who are close to Zhao Gui rushed forward and hugged Zhao Gui's sword-holding arm in unison.
Cen Peng was also surprised, and asked puzzledly, "General Gao, what is this doing?" ”
The generals in the city gate tower knelt on the ground one after another and said in unison: "General, you can't!" ”
Zhao Gui said with a wry smile: "You can surrender, but I can't surrender, King Xiao can not kill you, but he will kill me, instead of being humiliated and dying, it is better to make a break now!" ”
"General......
Cen Peng secretly rolled his eyes, muttering in his heart, you have acted too much in this play! If you want to kill yourself, do you have to draw your sword and wipe your neck, and you can jump down from the city gate tower and end it!
Zhao Gui wants to act in a suicide scene to show his strength, and Cen Peng is also willing to accompany him to play this play.
He said with a straight face: "General Zhao's words are wrong! The king of my family said that as long as General Zhao is willing to lead his troops to surrender the city, he will not kill a single soldier of the Gaohu Army, including General Zhao! Hearing Cen Peng's words, Zhao Gui was reassured. But on the surface, he still had a tragic face, a look of grief is more than a death of heart, looking up to the sky and sighing: "My department and the bronze horse, Chonglian, the same siblings, today the copper horse, Chonglian is in trouble."
, and I live alone, it's really ...... Shame on the brothers of both armies! "Huh! Zhao Gui not only has to show his toughness, but also shows his affection and righteousness. Cen Peng said patiently: "If General Zhao is willing to surrender, he can speak in front of the king, and he can also try his best to protect the captured bronze horses and heavy soldiers."
Life, this is a good deed, worthy of the heart. And if General Zhao does not surrender, the captured people are afraid that they will all die for life, and General Zhao is ashamed of the bronze horse and the heavy company, and I hope that General Zhao will think twice! ”
The generals of the Gaohu Army nodded again and again, and said one after another: "General, General Cen is right!" Only when we descend can we find a way to protect the bronze horse and reconnect the lives of the brothers! ”
"If the generals are dead, who will save them?"
People say a word, and persuade Zhao Gui bitterly.
At this time, Zhao Gui also showed a sudden realization and a sudden opening. He nodded, slowly put down the sword in his hand, and said to the people around him: "Open the city gate, we will wait, go out of the city and surrender!" ”
Zhu You, Gai Yan, Xi Zun, Fu Jun and others, I'm afraid they couldn't have dreamed that Cen Peng alone and with one mouth would simply surrender the tens of thousands of Gaohu troops guarding Qingyuan.
With the city gate opened, the generals of the Gaohu Army led by Zhao Gui were all tied up and walked out of the city gate. Cen Peng beckoned to the back, then turned over and dismounted, walked to Zhao Gui and the others who were kneeling on the ground, first untied the rope on Zhao Gui's body, and then helped him up, and said: "General Zhao's righteousness, today's actions will surely last forever."
! ”
Zhao Gui looked bitter and said, "General Cen is tormented!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the war horse that Cen Peng was riding, and said, "I don't know if General Cen can send the heads of Qi Bei and Zhang Huaizhi to the bottom, and the ...... I want to bury the two of them. ”
"This is all a trivial matter, we can discuss it later, now we should go to see the king as soon as possible!" Cen Peng Zhengse said.
Zhao Gui nodded hurriedly, and said again and again, "What General Cen said is extremely true!" ”
He originally thought that Liu Xiu was on the battlefield seven miles south of the city, but now that he had surrendered, he should go to meet Liu Xiucai immediately.
Cen Peng led Zhao Gui and even the generals of the Gaohu Army into his army, and then ordered Gai Yan, Fu Jun, and Xianzun to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Qingyuan with the soldiers of the Gaohu Army.
He and Zhu You took Zhao Gui and the generals of the Gaohu Army to the battlefield between Guantao and Qingyuan.
When they passed by the 'battlefield' outside the city, Zhao Gui and his generals suddenly realized that there had been a battle here. Not to mention that there was not a single corpse on the ground, not even a trace of blood.
Zhao Gui turned his head in surprise, looked around, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find any traces after the war, and couldn't help asking, "General Cen, what is this?" ”
Cen Peng smiled and said, "General Zhao, just now our army just did a drill here!" ”
Didn't fight, just did a drill? Zhao Gui's eyes widened in disbelief, and then, his gaze moved downward, landing on the two severed heads hanging on Cen Peng's saddle, and asked, "What about ...... What about Qi Bei and Zhang Huai? ”
"Ah, this is not the head of the two of them, it's just a trick I used to get General Gao to surrender the city as soon as possible." As he spoke, Cen Peng asked with a smile, "General Zhao won't blame me for cheating, right?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Gui and even the surrounding Gaohu army generals buzzed in their heads, and then, their brains went blank, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It turned out that everything Cen Peng said was false, Liu Xiu didn't hit Qingyuan at all, the Bronze Horse Army and the Chonglian Army were not defeated, and Zhang Huai and Qi Bei were not killed!
But now that they knew this, it was too late, they had already been disarmed, and they were still in Cen Peng's army, surrounded by Han soldiers who were eyeing each other.
People looked at Cen Peng with dull eyes, and looking at him happily, people's eyes became more and more hot. If the eyes can breathe fire, it is estimated that Cen Peng will be roasted in an instant. Cen Peng's face did not show the slightest apology or embarrassment after deception, and he said slowly: "General Zhao, although I used deception, it is also a fact that I saved you and the brothers of your army. Do you really think you are invincible in Hebei? How are you compared to Wang Yi and Wang Xun back then? How are the soldiers under your command more than a million reckless troops? At the beginning, the king only led 3,000 soldiers to break a million reckless army, and now, the king's soldiers are hundreds of thousands, and they are only copper
How can horses, Chonglian, and even your high lake be the opponents of the king? Knowing that you will lose, it is stupid to continue to fight, and submitting to the king is the only way out for your department! ”
Zhao Gui's eyes gradually softened, what Cen Peng said also has a certain truth, even if it is not reasonable, Zhao Gui himself has to analyze a reason, otherwise, he will be suffocated to death.
He said: "King Xiao didn't send General Cen to recruit us, now we are waiting to surrender, if King Xiao moves to kill, won't we ......?"
Cen Peng said: "For this point, General Zhao can rest assured that since I have surrendered you and others, I will naturally protect you and others in front of the king." If the king insists on killing, Peng will admonish him with death! ”
Zhao Gui was stunned for a moment, then sighed faintly, and said, "In this way, thank you General Cen in the future!" ”
Now, the battle between the Han army and the bronze horse army is in a stalemate.
The reinforcements led by Qi Bei and Zhang Huai have already converged with the remnants of the Bronze Horse Army, but the army with a total of 200,000 still can't get any advantage in front of the Han army led by Liu Xiu.
Dongshan Barren and Shanghuai originally planned to retreat in the direction of Qingyuan, but the charging formation of the Youzhou Raiders disrupted their formation, and Liu Xiu personally led the infantry to rush up from the rear, beating the Bronze Horse Army to the point where they could only be stationed in place. The 200,000-strong Bronze Horse Army and the Heavy Company Army were forced to build horses in place, build earthen walls, and build fortifications to resist the attack of the Youzhou Raiders. Just when the two armies were facing each other, Cen Peng and Zhu You arrived with Zhao Gui, who had surrendered.
