Chapter 514: Persuasion to surrender alone

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

Choshi said with a worried face: "King, General Feng is really determined now, and he is working with General Jia to fight against the Fifth School Army, and now it is not appropriate to send General Feng to Mengjin, right?" ”

Mengjin is not a city, but a ferry and settlement next to the Yellow River. The location can be said to be unique, but also extremely strategic.

Liu Xiu frowned and said: "Gongsun Laocheng is stable, and only when Gongsun is stationed in Mengjin, I am the most at ease." ”

As for Feng Yi's ability, Choshi was naturally very clear, and it was indeed a good choice to let Feng Yi go to garrison Mengjin. Choshi's real concern is Jia Fu.

Now Jia Fu is assisted by Feng Yi, and he has won battles in Zhending, and has repeatedly defeated the five school armies, but once Feng Yi goes to Mengjin in Hanoi, Jia Fu has no one to assist, and he is alone in Zhending, which always makes people feel uneasy. Liu Xiu also took into account the problem he was worried about, relatively speaking, the threat of the Fifth School Army to his own side was far less than that of Luoyang, and it was not really anywhere else, with Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, helping Jia Fu, it would not happen

Too much of a change.

But what Liu Xiu never expected was that the bad thing was bad for Liu Yang.

At present, there are many soldiers and horses gathered in Luoyang. The 200,000 that Yunxi Pavilion reported to Liu Xiu was actually only a conservative estimate, and the actual number of soldiers and horses was already approaching 300,000.

This army of the first imperial court was led by the great Sima Zhu Kun, the king of Wuyin Li Yi, the king of Liaoqiu Tian Li, the white tiger prince Chen Qiao, and the Henan Taishou Wubo and the martyred general Su Mao.

Not long ago, Su Mao and Li Song pacified the emperor's son-in-law, and after the class returned to the court, Li Song and Su Mao were sent by Liu Xuan to Hongnong County to fight with the Red Mei Army, trying to stop the Red Mei Army's westward advance.

Li Song and Su Mao led their troops from Chang'an to the east and entered Hongnong, while at the same time, Zhu Kun and Li Yi led their troops from Luoyang to advance westward and approach Hongnong.

The two armies in the east and the west formed a situation of entrapment against the Red Mei Army in Hongnong.

At this time, Li Song and Su Mao had just killed the emperor's son, and their morale was high, and they didn't take the Red Mei Army in their eyes at all. Li Song and Su Maobu, together with Zhu Kun and Li Yi, launched a general battle with the Red Mei Army in Hongnong.

In this battle, both sides fought in the dark. Li Song and Su Maobu, who easily defeated Ru Ziying, and even Zhu Kun and Li Yi, who rushed from Luoyang to reinforce them, were defeated by the Red Mei Army, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded.

Su Mao was worried that he would be punished by Liu Xuan when he returned to Chang'an, so he did not return to Chang'an after the defeat, but followed Zhu Kun and Li Yi and fled to Luoyang.

Li Song had an excellent relationship with Liu Xuan, and was one of Liu Xuan's most trusted ministers, so he had no worries about this, and after the defeat, Li Song fled back to Chang'an in a hurry with thousands of remnants. After this battle, Luoyang's Zhu Kun, Li Yi and others had no idea about the Red Mei Army, and they did not dare to take the initiative to meet the Red Mei Army

It was also placed in Hanoi County in the north.

Liu Xiu's order quickly reached Feng Yi and Wang Liang. Feng Yi was ordered to leave Zhending, go south to Hanoi, and garrison Mengjin.

At the same time, Feng Yi was also named the general of Mengjin by Liu Xiu, and had the right to transfer the soldiers and horses of the two counties of Hanoi and Wei County.

Wang Liang was also ordered by Liu Xiu to go to Yewang County and serve as the Yewang Order.

The arrival of Feng Yi and Wang Liang finally relieved the pressure on Kou Sui's side. It's just that Kou Sui has just breathed a sigh of relief, and Luoyang's soldiers and horses suddenly crossed the Yellow River, entered Hanoi, and approached Wen County.

Let's talk about Liu Xiubu.

Zhao Gui took the initiative to ask Liu Xiu to persuade the Bronze Horse Army and the Chonglian Army to surrender, and Liu Xiu agreed. Zhao Gui didn't bring a single entourage, so he rode alone and rode to the garrison of the Bronze Horse Army and the Chonglian Army.

Now the Bronze Horse Army and the Chonglian Army were like frightened birds, and when they saw someone close to their side, and the distance was so far away, the patrolling soldiers shouted loudly: "Stop, whoever comes!" Quote your name! ”

"I'm Zhao Gui!" Zhao Guile stopped his horse and replied loudly.

Hearing that the person who came was Zhao Gui, the patrolling soldiers were stunned, wasn't General Zhao in Qingyuan? How did you get here? Could it be that Qingyuan's reinforcements have arrived? But looking behind Zhao Gui, it was empty, and there was not a single soldier.

This group of patrolmen quickly ran towards Zhao Gui, and when they got closer, they looked at it and saw that it was really Zhao Gui.

The Bronze Horse Army and the Gaohu Army often have contacts, and the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army naturally know Zhao Gui, and the captain led by him intervened in Zhao Gui and said: "The villain doesn't know that it is General Zhao, he offended just now, and I hope General Zhao will forgive him!" ”

Where did Zhao Gui have time to worry about these soldiers now, he asked, "Can the general and the general Shanghuai be in the camp?" ”

All the soldiers looked at each other and lowered their heads. Zhao Gui asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

The captain of the soldiers whispered: "The general was wounded by an arrow, it was originally only a minor injury, but it has not had time to be treated, and now the injury has worsened, and the general is in danger." ”

Zhao Gui gasped, he didn't expect that even Dongshan Barren was seriously injured and his life was in danger. He said, "Take me into the camp!" ”

For the Bronze Horse Army, Zhao Gui was not an outsider, and the patrol captain led the way in front and asked cautiously: "General Zhao, how did you get in?" Isn't the outside blocked by officers and soldiers? ”

Zhao Gui didn't answer his question, but only urged him to go faster. He didn't say anything, and the captain didn't dare to ask more, so he led Zhao Gui all the way to the tent of the Chinese army.

The Chinese military tent of the Bronze Horse Army is a small temporary shack. The captain went in to report, and it didn't take long for Shanghuai to come out, Qi Bei, Zhang Huai and others came out one after another.

When they raised their eyes and saw that the person outside was really Zhao Gui, everyone was surprised and asked, "General Zhao, are you...... What are you doing here? ”

Zhao Gui glanced at everyone, sighed lightly, raised his head and said, "Let's go in and talk!" As he spoke, he took the lead in entering the Zhongjun tent, and the rest of the people looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and then followed one after another.

In the small shack, it was stuffy and hot, and there was a bad smell of sweat wafting in the air. Zhao Gui frowned, looked inside, and saw Dongshan Barren lying inside, with a layer of hay under him, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his upper body was undressed, wrapped in thick strips of cloth. Zhao Gui stepped forward, bent down, and closed

He looked at Dongshan barren for a while, and called out in a low voice: "General Dongshan? General Higashiyama? ”

He called several times in a row, and the desolate Dongshan lying there could be considered to be a little reaction, he slowly raised his eyes, looked up with empty eyes, and asked in a hoarse and weak voice: "Yes...... Who's calling me......"

Zhao Gui opened his mouth and didn't speak. Dongshan Barren was so badly injured that he couldn't even recognize him standing in front of him.

He turned his head and looked at Shang Huai and the others. Shanghuai shook his head with a wry smile, saying that the current situation in Dongshan is not optimistic.

Qi Fei and Zhang Huai both stepped forward and asked urgently, "General Zhao, why did you come here if you weren't stationed in Qingyuan?" How did you get in? Led the army to kill in? How is Qingyuan now? ”

The two of them were now full of questions, and they wanted to ask questions like a cannon. Zhao Gui glanced at the two of them, lowered his head, sighed, and said, "Qingyuan...... It has been occupied by the Han army! ”

"What?" As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked, Qing Yuan was lost? Shouldn't you be completely trapped here, with no way out?

"Qing Yuan...... How could Qingyuan be occupied by the Han army? ”

"It's me...... Surrender the city to the Han army! Zhao Gui said.

People couldn't believe their ears.

Zhao Gui surrendered to Liu Xiuxiancheng, and now he ran to his own camp, isn't he crazy? Zhang Huai said with a gloomy face: "General Zhao, your joke is not funny!" ”

"I'm not joking!" Zhao Gui said: "Otherwise, how can you think that I am alone, and I can come here through the blockade of the Han army?" ”

"You ......" In an instant, Zhang Huai's eyes turned red due to congestion, and he raised his hand to hold the hilt of his sword, making a gesture to draw his sword. Zhao Gui pressed his arm and said, "General Zhang, listen to me first!" ”

Shang Huai squinted at Zhao Gui, waved his hand to Zhang Huai's side, and signaled him not to act rashly first. He asked in a condensed voice, "General Zhao, what do you want to say?" ”

"Surrender!"

"Say it again!" Shang Huai's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and he said word by word.

"Even if General Shanghuai wants to ask me a hundred times, a thousand times, even if he wants to kill me, I still have to say, surrender!" Zhao Gui did not flinch and looked at Shanghuai's fierce eyes.

"You really don't dare to kill you?" Shanghuai took a step forward, grabbed Zhao Gui's collar, gritted his teeth and said: "Dongshan and I really saw the wrong person, and we actually regarded you, a greedy and fearless villain who is afraid of death, as a brother!" ”

Zhao Gui said categorically: "It is precisely because I regard General Dongshan, General Shanghuai, General Qi, General Zhang, etc. as brothers that I came here alone to persuade you to surrender!" ”

The fierce light in Shang Huai's eyes was even stronger, and the horizontal flesh on his cheeks suddenly jumped, as if he wanted to swallow Zhao Guisheng alive. Zhao Gui was also afraid in his heart, but he understood that it was useless to be afraid now, and he had to finish what he wanted to say. He said: "Although there are 200,000 people in the second army of Tongma and Chonglian, more than half of them are exhausted remnants of the defeated generals, and now they are trapped here, people and horses are scarce, there is no food and grass, and they are isolated, how can they resist the Han army like a wolf and a tiger?" Stubborn

If you resist, there is only one way to die! General Shanghuai, this is 200,000 people, this is our 200,000 brothers, do you really have to bear to watch 200,000 brothers die in front of you? ”

Zhang Huai stepped forward, pushed Zhao Gui hard, and shouted: "Zhao Gui! Do you think we're all like you, greedy for life and afraid of death? Will you be like you, wagging your tail and begging for mercy to that Liu Xiu'er, and bowing your head to the courtiers? ”

Zhao Gui asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" You yourself say that now that we are trapped here, what can we do but surrender? Forced breakout? Even if we do, where can we go? ”

Zhang Huai was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't answer Zhao Gui's question.

Qi Wei lowered his head, and his eyes unconsciously showed despair. If Zhao Gui does not surrender to Liu Xiu, if Qingyuan is still in his hands, he really has a glimmer of hope, at least work hard to break through to Qingyuan, and he can also temporarily save his life.

And now that Zhao Gui has surrendered and Qingyuan has fallen into the hands of Liu Xiu, for his own side, this battle really can't go any further. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhao Gui took a few breaths and said meaningfully: "King Xiao is benevolent, generous, and noble, and he is still a well-known reckless hero, I am not ashamed to surrender to King Xiao, and I will definitely be able to get it in the future."

When it comes to King Xiao's kindness and reuse, why not do it? ”

Zhang Huai was happy, angry, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Gui's nose, and scolded angrily: "Shameless! Good for you brazen Zhao Gui! I'll kill ...... today," he said, and he drew his sword again.

But at this moment, the Dongshan barren on the meadow lying on the bed suddenly spoke: "Zhang Huai...... Don't hurt Zhao Gui...... "General! When people saw Dongshan bare and laboriously leaning forward with his neck straightened out, looking like he was about to sit up, everyone exclaimed in surprise, gathered around, and said, "The general's injury has not healed, lie down quickly!" ”
