Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Dongshan Barren waved his hand to everyone, and said intermittently: "Help me do it!" ”

Everyone carefully supported Dongshan Barren and made him sit up. Dongshan's originally sloppy gaze was now a little more focused, he looked at Zhao Gui, and asked weakly: "Zhao Gui, did Liu Xiu send you to persuade us to surrender?" Zhao Guizheng said: "Actually, I asked King Xiao for this trip. He looked around at the people present and said: "King Xiao has a deep hatred for the righteous army that is in rebellion in Hebei, and during the battle with the general, the casualties of the soldiers under King Xiao's command are not small

According to King Xiao's original intention, he did not intend to surrender, but it was I who repeatedly pleaded that King Xiao agreed to this matter. ”

Zhang Huai sneered and said angrily: "So, we still have to thank you?" Zhao Gui waved his hand and said, "I regard you as brothers and sisters, brothers, there is no need to talk about gratitude." Zhang Huai was still about to speak, and Zhao Gui continued: "I don't need your brothers' thanks either!" At the beginning, everyone rose up together, anti-reckless and anti-court, and also

He once made a promise to advance and retreat together in life and death, share blessings and difficulties. No matter what time comes, I, Zhao Gui, will never care only about my own life, not the life or death of my brothers. ”

Zhang Huai stared at him, took a deep breath, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and turned his head to look at the barren mountains. Zhao Gui also looked at the desolate Dongshan without warning, he knelt down with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "The general is seriously injured, if he doesn't do medical treatment, his life will really be in danger!" General, for himself, and for the sake of the two below

100,000 brethren, come down! ”

Dongshan Barren slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at the ground blankly, and asked, "If I wait, Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, will he really kill me?" ”

Zhao Gui's face was straight, and he hurriedly said: "King Xiao personally promised not to kill a single soldier of the surrendered army. General, King Xiao has a good reputation, and he has always believed in his word, since King Xiao said so, he will never break his word. ”

Dongshan was barren and silent for a long time, shaking his head and laughing, which was a bitter smile.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and said: "Gaohu has descended to Liu Xiu, Qingyuan has been occupied by Liu Xiu, and now, our army is in a desperate situation, there is no way out, brothers, what do you think?" ”

Although he didn't say it too bluntly, everyone understood that the general was asking him about surrendering to Liu Xiu.

Zhang Huai was the first to stand up and say fiercely: "General, we and Liu Xiu Xiao'er, the enmity is as deep as the sea, and they are incompatible!" Even if we fight to the death, we will fight Liu Xiu to the death! ”

Qi Fei lowered his head and was silent. Shanghuai sighed and said, "Listen to the general!" ”

Dongshan Barren nodded and said, "Since you are still willing to listen to me, then, pass on my general order, the whole army, to surrender to Liu Xiu!" ”

"General-" As soon as Dongshan Barren said this, everyone present was shocked. People hula la-hue-la-huh-huh-

Zhang Huai cried and choked up and said: "At the beginning, we followed the general to uncover the rod, and the general once said that we should put life and death aside when we get into trouble, and now, how can the general ask us to surrender to Liu Xiu without a fight?" Dongshan looked at Zhang Huai, who was crying silently, his eyes were also red, and he said: "I am not waiting to surrender without a fight, but we have been fighting for too long, too long, I am tired, and my brothers are also tired." Now, our army is in a desperate situation, embattled, and must fight

Die, live and live. I have long since thrown my life and death into the clouds, but I cannot watch 200,000 brothers die with me. ”

"General!" Zhang Huai crawled forward on his knees, crouched on the meadow near the barren East Mountain, and cried loudly.

Dongshan Barren raised his hand, patted Zhang Huai's shoulder weakly, and then said to Shanghuai: "Pass my order!" ”

The surrender of the Gaohu Army became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Bronze Horse Army, which was trapped between Guantao and Qingyuan, numbered 200,000 people, and finally surrendered to the Han army under the instruction of Dongshan Barren.

The Bronze Horse Army is the largest and most warlike rebel army in Hebei, and among the many rebel armies in Hebei, the Bronze Horse Army can be described as very representative and iconic.

Their surrender to Liu Xiu was not only an earth-shattering event at the time, but also a major event in Chinese history.

Liu Xiu has a nickname, named Bronze Horse Emperor. The origin of his nickname of the Bronze Horse Emperor is from the Bronze Horse Army. It can be seen from this that the surrender of the Bronze Horse Army is of great and extraordinary significance to Liu Xiu.

The Bronze Horse Army is a rebel army, yes, it is indeed not a regular army, but the foundation of the Copper Horse Army is too good, from top to bottom, they are all desperate, pulling on the battlefield, no one is afraid to fight, fighting with the enemy, and they are all moving forward bravely.

The only thing they lack is that they don't have formal training. But formal training can be easily compensated, and the spirit of desperate Saburo, the kind of bloodiness that is not afraid of any strong enemy, is not something that anyone can have.

Hearing that Zhao Gui successfully persuaded the Bronze Horse Army to surrender, Liu Xiu was so excited that he almost jumped up from his seat, he stroked his palm and said: "It's a big thing!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, stood up, walked back and forth in the Chinese military tent, and asked the soldiers who reported the news: "Where is General Zhao now?" Can it be determined that the Bronze Horse Army really surrendered? ”

"Back to the king, General Zhao is returning to our army's camp, and in addition, the Bronze Horse Army has pulled the ordnance out of the camp and is sending it to our army's big operation."

The so-called ordnance refers to weapons, armor and other combat tools.

Liu Xiu nodded excitedly. Cen Peng stood up and bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!" The king's foundation in Hebei has been completed! ”

The summoning of the Bronze Horse Army not only made the Han army lose a strong enemy in Hebei, but also greatly improved the military strength of the Han army, and it can even be said that it has undergone a qualitative change.

Liu Xiu looked at Cen Peng, smiled happily, and said, "Thanks to Junran this time!" Our army was able to successfully summon the bronze horse, and Jun Ran contributed a lot! ”

If Cen Peng hadn't summoned Zhao Gui first and obtained Qingyuan City, it would have been difficult for him to summon the Bronze Horse Army with a tough style.

Cen Peng said with a smile: "Everything is because the lord is wise and respectful, so that he can subdue the bronze horse, and the general will not dare to take credit." ”

Just when Liu Xiu was talking and laughing in the Chinese military tent, Zhao Gui returned to the Han army camp, and he came with Shanghuai and Qi Bei.

Entering the Zhongjun tent, Shanghuai and Qi Bei raised their eyes to take a look, most of the people in the camp tent knew each other, and they were all old acquaintances, to be exact, they were all old opponents who had encountered several times on the battlefield.

That's how wonderful things are. Until today, they had been fighting to the death on the battlefield, but now, they were standing in the same tent.

Zhao Gui waved his hand to Liu Xiu, who was sitting in the center, and said, "General Shanghuai, General Qi, this is King Xiao!" ”

Hearing his introduction, Shanghuai and Qi Bei both knelt on their knees, kowtowed forward, and said: "The general of the defeated army will go to Huai (Qi Bei), knock to see King Xiao!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Shang Huai said again: "General...... General Dongshan was too injured to move, so he couldn't come to see him, and he hoped that King Xiao would be gracious! Liu Xiu stood up, walked up to the two of them, helped the two of them up one in one hand, and said with a smile: "General Shanghuai and General Qi are willing to abandon the secret and surrender to the light, which is not only the luck of the bronze horse and the soldiers of the two armies, but also the luck of the soldiers of our Han army, the two generals."

Righteous deeds, for the benefit of the three armies, meritorious standards, solid Ningbang! ”

Shanghuai and Qi Bei didn't expect Liu Xiu to be so polite to him and give himself such a high evaluation.

The two of them were just the generals of the defeated army, and now they were cornered, so they had to surrender to Liu Xiu, and they had fought with Liu Xiujun before, with countless casualties.

But instead of blaming herself, Liu Xiu did not complain, but was also courteous, which is really surprising.

Shang Huai and Qi Wei glanced at each other, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Gui. After all, Zhao Gui surrendered first, and he was in contact with Liu Xiu one step earlier, so he knew a little bit about Liu Xiu's temperament.

He said with a smile: "I have already said that the worries of King Xiao Renshan, Corporal Lixian, General Shanghuai and General Qi are completely superfluous!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Two generals, please take a seat." ”

Shang Huai and Qi Bei's tense nerves eased a little, and Liu Xiu saluted in both directions, kneeling down at the seat on the side. Liu Xiu asked, "How is General Dongshan's injury?" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu take the initiative to ask, Shanghuai, who had been worried, hurriedly said: "Back to King Xiao, General Dongshan is seriously injured, and there is no medicine in our army, and I hope to ......" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Xiu immediately turned his head and said to Zhu You: "Zhong Xian, go to find the best medical officer in our army, bring the best medicine, and immediately go to the Bronze Horse Army garrison to treat General Dongshan, and be sure to cure General Dongshan,

I've got a big reward! ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhu You intervened to receive the order, got up and walked out quickly.

Shanghuai stood up, walked to the center of the tent, straightened the clothes on his body, bowed to Liu Xiu respectfully, and said movingly: "Xiao Wang Daen, General Dongshan, on behalf of the Tongma Army, thank Xiao Wang Longen!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "General Shanghuai doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

When he returned to his seat, Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Now, the Han army and the bronze horse are the only one, and from now on, they will be their own brothers." I healed my own brothers, so why should General Shanghuai thank me? ”

On the battlefield, Liu Xiu is an enemy who can make opponents hate the root of their teeth, and in terms of life and life, Liu Xiu is a particularly easy-going person who values love and righteousness.

Liu Xiu was born at the bottom of the society, a farmer in Nanyang who planted the land very well, and was the leader of the peasant rebel army.

But unlike the leaders of the peasant rebel army who got carried away when they got power, he was a student.

He was cultured, far-sighted, open-minded, and ambitious, following the example of the ancient sages and flaunting himself as a literati.

Of course, you can say that he deliberately pretends to be high-minded and cares about his life, but after gaining power, he can still not reveal his true nature, and he can continue to pretend and care about his life, which in itself is beyond the ability of ordinary people.

How about Wang Mang at the same time as Liu Xiu? After gaining power, he fell off the altar, his true form was exposed, he was selfish, he excluded dissidents, he was stubborn and self-serving, and he was mediocre.

What about Liu Xuan? After gaining power, he sang songs every day, ignored the government and politics, and had fun with the women in the harem all day long, and Sanfu was in turmoil.

Power is like a master key, which can open the door in the deepest part of everyone's heart and release all the pent-up desires in people's hearts.

With power, he can still keep his original intention, suppress the desires in his heart, and be consistent, with such strong restraint, how can he not succeed? This is Liu Xiu's ability.

Ordinary people are controlled by power, and this kind of people, throughout the ages, are like carp crossing the river, abounding, so in the long river of history, they can only be short-lived at best. However, those who succeed can control power in turn, and this kind of talent will become the emperor of the ages who will be admired by future generations. Liu Xiu is among them.
