Chapter 330: Huayan Returns to Shun, Soldiers Arrive in Linzi (First Update)
After Hua Yan led the army to the camp not far from the camp in a hurry, he looked at the closed camp gate, the erected inverted spurs, and the corpses still lying on the ground, the dazzling blood, and suddenly knew that it was too late, and at the same time his face showed a trace of surprise, coming from Gaotang, it was only half an hour, and the water army camp was not only breached, but also immediately stopped the defense, is Yuan Xi's army really so strong? Especially in the case of the navy, once the navy is wiped out, or the warship is burned, the scorched army can immediately cross the river and head south, and everything will be over at that time.
After waiting on the camp wall for a while, Sima Yi suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, showed a smile, stood up slowly, clasped his fists and shouted: "General Huayan, under the command of the king of Xia, the prince of Guanglu, and the general of Huaiyuan, Sima Yi, I have heard the general's name early, and I am proud of Qingzhou."
Hua Yan's eyes froze, and he said, "Now that you know my name, then immediately open the camp and surrender, which will guarantee your safe departure?" ”
"Haha, with the wisdom of the general, how can he not know that the mantis arm is a car, and the general trend has gone to eight big characters? Even if Yi dies here today, and the camp is being acquired by the general, will Qingzhou be saved? It's just a matter of time, the general's ability, and loyalty, admirable, Yi also knows what the general actually wants to know most in his heart, Yi can tell you, not only is the eldest prince not dead, but once the north is stable, the king will reward the title, give them fiefdoms, and let them spend their old age in peace" Sima Yi said loudly.
Hua Yan's face moved, and he asked loudly, "General Sima, you didn't lie to me?" ”
"General, the king is eloquent, there is a testament from Duke Yuan, the Son of Heaven is called, occupying the land of three continents, under his command thousands of generals, with hundreds of thousands of armor, how can he make such a contradictory act of killing his brother, the reason why he has not released it at present, is because there are generals like this, for the so-called loyalty, which leads to the existence of turmoil in the north, only when the north is completely stable, the king can let them come out with peace of mind, give them glory and wealth, if the general is really loyal, he should put down his weapons, take refuge in the king, and unify the world for the Yuan family, pay his life, In this way, the eldest prince can come out early, and if they keep in turmoil, or would rather die than surrender, then they will never see the light of day," Sima Yi said later, his tone was obviously much colder.
Hua Yan clenched his fists, his brows tightened, and the whole person suddenly fell into hesitation.
"General, surrender! The future Dayan needs you, when Yi left, the king once said that Qingzhou Wen has Wang You, Wu has Huayan, they are all rare talents, I can't see each other, let Yi tell General Jiao Touch, don't hurt you, because the king said to wait for the general in Yecheng to participate in the founding ceremony, tell the whole world, the north is completely pacified, and the Yan Kingdom has been established" Sima Yi continued sincerely.
Everyone loves to hear good words, not to mention that it was Yuan Xi who said it, which suddenly made Hua Yan's heart feel inexplicably moved and excited, and his eyes wavered.
"General, in fact, he is quite right, and you look behind you" I saw a subordinate general suddenly whispered.
Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, and after looking back in confusion, he instantly found that the soldiers who followed him did not have the slightest desire to fight in their eyes, but instead showed their expectations one by one.
At this time, a lieutenant also ran to Sima Yi's ear and whispered a few words excitedly.
Sima Yi nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a loud voice: "General Huayan, just now, General Ma Jing has led the naval warship to surrender to our military headquarters."
Hua Yan was shocked in his heart, then smiled bitterly, and waved his hand: "Put down your weapon!" I can't hurt you because of myself."
"Oh!" Hearing this, the soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and cheered loudly, still the same sentence, Hua Yan is just a general, and the Yuan family is the master, if Yuan Tan is here, they may still be able to fight to the death, but Yuan Tan is gone, and the soldiers do not have the heart and fighting spirit at all.
Sima Yi on the camp wall also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Open the camp gate immediately"
"No!"
After Sima Yi got off the camp wall, he came outside with his personal guards, hugged his fists and said: "General Huayan's move will definitely leave a name in history, and for the complete pacification of the north, the establishment of the Yan State will play an absolute role."
"General Sima has won the award, and Yan doesn't want to fight in the same room," Hua Yan said ashamedly.
"The general really understands the righteousness, no wonder the king attaches so much importance to it, this time the founding ceremony of the country, it is necessary to have a place for the general," Sima Yi appreciated.
A trace of excitement flashed on Hua Yan's face, which of the generals did not want to expand the territory, make meritorious contributions, and become one of the founding fathers of the country.
"I also want to have more kind words from General Lao Sima," Hua Yan hugged his fist.
"You're polite, you're polite" Sima Yi smiled slightly.
When midnight came, without the obstruction of the naval army, the bridge was finally built, and Jiao Touch and his army of 50,000 iron guards finally crossed the Shang River and arrived outside Gaotang City.
"The last general, Hua Yan, meet General Jiao, block Wang Shi, the crime deserves death" I saw Hua Yan plead guilty to Jiao Touch.
"General Hua Yan, don't be like this, you can surrender to the king, touch is really happy" Jiao Yan hurriedly helped Hua Yan up personally.
"Yan is ashamed, if it weren't for General Sima's timely reminder, he would have almost made a big mistake," Hua Yan blamed himself.
"The general is serious, this is the performance of the general's loyalty, to do the last game, compared to those generals who are still in the battle and have indeed defected, how much stronger than a hundred times" Sima Yi praised.
"Yes, General Hua has such a character, the king must cherish it and entrust him with a heavy responsibility," Jiao Feng said with appreciation.
"It's over," Hua Yan smiled bitterly.
"General, now that the army has all crossed the river, we should send troops to Linzi as soon as possible, recover the state capital, and pacify Qingzhou," Sima Yi suggested.
Jiao Feng nodded, and immediately said: "Guo Zheng, Min Xing"
The two generals immediately stood up
"It's up to you to bring 5,000 people to guard Gaotang," Jiao Yan commanded.
"No!"
"Min Xing, you are a third-level military officer, although the Gao Tang naval army and soldiers have surrendered, there must still be uneasiness and apprehension in my heart, and I want my army's military personnel to appease them as soon as possible," Jiao Feng ordered.
"No!"
"General, do you want to play the king, return General Huayan to obedience, and send back the news that our army has taken Gaotang," a general said with a smile.
Jiao Touch immediately shook his head and said, "Just a Gao Tang, what is there to say, after conquering Linzi, I will play the king."
"No!"
"General Jiao, don't drive Wang You's resourcefulness and profundity, he is very good at internal affairs, he is a rare talent, and I hope to forgive him this time" Hua Yan suddenly said worriedly, Gao Tang is lost, Linzi cannot be saved, he has a good relationship with Wang You, and he really doesn't want the other party to have an accident.
"Haha, although General Huayan is relieved, Wang Beijia is the one the king wants to see by name" Jiao Touch laughed loudly.
When the second morning came, Jiao Touch, Sima Yi, and Hua Yan took up to 70,000 troops to Linzi, the state capital of Qingzhou, and all the cities along the way found that Yuan Xi's army had crossed the river, and after Hua Yan surrendered, they all completely lost their fighting spirit, and immediately surrendered to Kaicheng, and the army was like a bamboo, and only two days later, they had arrived outside the state capital Linzi.
I saw that the army lineup was neat, mighty and majestic, the banner was waving with the wind, the generals and soldiers were neatly arranged, quiet and silent, and the whole body was pitch-black armor, so that they seemed to gather into a huge black cloud, to drown everything, the defenders on Linzi City saw this scene, their faces were pale, so the iron army, it is estimated that two charges can capture their Linzi, which is only a few thousand people.
Jiao Touch took Sima Yi, Hua Yan, and Cheng Erhu out on horseback, looking at Linzi City in front of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
