"It's been three days, why haven't Wu Sanyao and Shen Cong come back yet?" Under the state city, Zhao Chenfeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Three days ago, Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, led 30,000 horses from Fuyu, Taining, Duoyan, Tashan, Haixi and Jianzhou Liuwei to Zizaizhou, and on the same day, he cooperated with Zheng Anmin in the city to catch Zhao Chenfeng off guard.

However, Zhao Chenfeng also reacted in a timely manner, and immediately adjusted his tactics as soon as he saw that the situation was wrong, so as to stabilize his position.

But that's just temporary, Han Xiao and Zheng Anmin's men and horses add up to a total of 40,000 horses, while Zhao Chenfeng only has 20,000 horses, so he doesn't have an advantage in numbers, not to mention that the 30,000 horses under Han Xiao's command are all highly mobile cavalry, so how can Zhao Chenfeng's 20,000 infantry resist?

In the past three days, Zhao Chenfeng's side has lost nearly 5,000 men and horses, and the battle loss is more than a quarter, seeing that if the situation continues to deteriorate like this, it will be a matter of time before the army collapses.

But at this time, the 50,000 army at the foot of Panshan has not returned, how can Zhao Chenfeng not be in a hurry.

However, fortunately, in the past few days, Zhao Chenfeng ordered people to dig out a few trenches to stabilize the charge of the cavalry under Han Xiao, but in the face of the delay in the return of reinforcements, Zhao Chenfeng was still extremely anxious.

is more anxious than Zhao Chenfeng, but he is afraid that he will belong to the 50,000 Liaodong Army under his feet. In the past few days, Shen Cong, Wu Sanyao and others have not been at peace day and night, and when they repeatedly retreated, Zhou An on the opposite side would take the opportunity to sneak attack.

Shen Cong discussed with Wu Sanyao and others for a while, and decided to leave a guard in charge of the rear, but no one was willing to do this job.

Who doesn't know? After being responsible, it means that you have given your life here? These guys are all commanders of the first guard, and Zhao Chenfeng did not specify who was the commander when he left, so none of these people could convince anyone, so they could only be so deadlocked, so that the current situation was created.

"It can't be delayed like this any longer!" In the military camp at the foot of the mountain, Shen Cong said to everyone, "Now the situation on General Zhao's side is critical, if you can't rescue it in time, I'm afraid that Zizai Prefecture will completely fall into the hands of the imperial court." If General Zhao dies in battle, what will be the fate we face, I guess you won't be unclear, right?

So I hereby propose that we decide to stay by lottery, what do you think? ”

"That's all there is to it now!" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all nodded in unison.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Shen Cong immediately took the things that had been prepared a long time ago, and then asked everyone to extract them one by one.

In the end, the commander of the Tieling Guard made Wu Sanyao more unlucky, and he happened to be drawn, and the commanders of the rest of the guards were relieved when they saw this.

The next day, the army marched, leaving only Wu Sanyao's Shenyang guard to guard the foot of Panshan Mountain.

And Panshan Station, after Zhou An received the news, he climbed to the top of the mountain again to observe the enemy's situation, and saw that the main force of the Liaodong Army really retreated, and he thought of an idea with a turn of his eyes.

Calling a henchman, Zhou An muttered a few words to his henchman, and the henchman quietly went down the mountain after comprehending it, and after a while, he came to the defense area of Tielingwei at the foot of the mountain.

"I am a messenger sent by Zhou Junge, and I have something to discuss with your General Wu!" The henchmen reported their names before coming to the defense area, and they were welcomed into the barracks after a while.

Seeing Wu Sanyao, Zhou An's henchman said directly: "General Wu, the situation has reached the point where it is now, is it possible that you will continue to be stubborn?" ”

Wu Sanyao said, "The messenger must not have come here to talk to me about this, right?" What does Zhou Junge mean, Your Excellency just said it! ”

Zhou An's henchman nodded and said: "My military pavilion said that as long as General Wu can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he will definitely write to the court to protect you, and even if it is not good, it can also protect your family!" ”

"Is it safe?" Wu Sanyao smiled bitterly, "Even if Zhou Junge can let him go, I'm afraid that Han Xiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, won't spare me!" ”

"The general's words are not true!" Zhou An's henchman shook his head and said, "Although Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and although Han Xiao is a sharp sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, how to judge the general is still up to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and Jinyiwei can't intervene."

Although there is no 100% guarantee that the general is safe and sound, my military cabinet said that as long as the general is willing to give the order to surrender, his old man will definitely ensure that your family is safe and sound! ”

"Let me think again!" Wu Sanyao sent the messenger away, and when he returned to the camp tent, he couldn't make a decision for a long time, so he called his subordinate generals and said: "I think you all know the messenger's intention, what should we do next?" Tell me about it! ”

"Yes, Commander!" One person took over the conversation and said, "I don't think the messenger's words can be fully believed, although Zhou Junge has a certain right to speak in the court, but it is not others who can really decide our life and death, but the Son of Heaven and the Three Law Divisions." Therefore, I think Zhou Junge's words can only be half believed. ”

"I don't think so, I think Zhou Junge's words are still credible. No matter how bad it is, once we defect now, it will be regarded as atonement for the imperial court, although it is possible to save our lives, but at least our family will not be too implicated. ”

"yes!" Another person chimed in, "Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before our Liaodong Army is defeated. If we continue to resist stubbornly, not to mention that our heads are not guaranteed, our families will not end well.

Although the court has now revised the law and there is no crime against the nine clans, it is inevitable that the men will be slaves for generations and the female dependents will be prostitutes.

If we want to change this ending, then now we have only one way to choose! ”

"But that being said, we have to guard against it. Think about it, the previous commander of the Jinyi Guard almost killed Han Xiao at our hands, how could he give up?

Even if the imperial court is willing to let our family go, will Han Xiao be willing? Will he let our family go? ”

After the man finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the tent.

After a long while, Wu Sanyao said: "What you said makes sense, but if we continue to resist stubbornly, we will only have a dead end.

As for Han Xiao's side...... The old man has his own explanation, you don't have to worry! ”

After speaking, Wu Sanyao glanced at everyone, and directly ordered loudly: "Come on, put up the white flag, and surrender to Zhou Junge!" ”

Wu Sanyao watched everyone walk out of the camp tent, picked up a pen and paper and wrote on the desk for a long time before he walked out of the camp tent......
