Chapter 403: Encircling and suppressing Xue Wanche
After the Shangyuan Festival, the weather became warmer, and on the road at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there were already green sprouts of grass.
And at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there is a force of 500 soldiers and horses stationed.
They have been stationed here for more than ten days, and they have been waiting for the snow to melt on Zhongnan Mountain.
The leader of this team is named Yu Feng, a general in his thirties.
However, since he was a teenager, he has been fighting on the battlefield, and after experiencing the baptism of war, he exudes an aura of non-anger and self-authority all over his body.
At dusk that day, a fresh breeze blew through Zhongnan Mountain.
Yu Feng stood in the barracks, looking at Zhongnan Mountain, which had gradually seen the emerald green, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, a soldier next to him hurriedly asked, "General, but you are going to attack the mountain tomorrow?" ”
After the Xuanwumen Incident, Xue Wanche fled with dozens of people on Zhongnan Mountain.
Yu Feng was ordered to come to encircle and suppress, but during the Chinese New Year, because of the heavy snow blocking the mountain, they couldn't climb up at all, so they could only camp at the foot of the mountain.
Now that the snow is melting and the trees are green, it is time for them to rush forward and encircle Xue Wanche and others.
However, Yu Feng shook his head.
"Zhongnan Mountain is still a little too big, and after the hundreds of us entered, it will not be obvious at all, if Xue Wanche and them are broken into pieces and hide in the mountains, it will not be easy for us to find them."
Looking for someone on such a big mountain, it may not be possible to find the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, and it is precisely because Xue Wanche and they saw this that they hid on Zhongnan Mountain.
In addition, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it has not reached the point where one man is the key to ten thousand people, but if they really want to rush to kill, they are afraid that they may not be able to rush up.
"What does the general mean?"
"Lord Changsun has orders, can persuade them to surrender, it is best to persuade them, now that the snow has melted, he ordered someone to send a book to the mountain, tell them the news that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's descendants were killed, cut off their thoughts, let them surrender, and then tell them, if they don't surrender, then they will wait to be savages on the mountain."
Yu Feng's words were very cold, and after the soldiers heard it, they didn't hesitate and immediately went down to prepare.
Early the next morning, 500 soldiers shot sharp arrows with letters of surrender towards Zhongnan Mountain.
In the past, there was snow, and if you shot this thing, it would easily get wet, but now that the snow has melted, the book can be kept on the mountain for several days.
In the past few days, as long as Xue Wanche's people ran out curiously, they might be able to see it.
After two rounds of sharp arrows, the soldiers retreated to the barracks and waited for news.
They didn't know if Xue Wanche was willing to surrender after seeing the letter of persuasion, but all they could do now was wait.
As cats, they are not in a hurry, they have time to accompany Xue Wanche and them to have fun.
-------------------
The scenery of Zhongnan Mountain is beautiful.
Even if many trees have just sprouted, they can feel very different.
Xue Wanche, who had been nesting on Zhongnan Mountain for more than half a month, finally remembered to walk around.
During this time, their life was not easy.
Eating badly, not wearing well, and what makes them feel even more uncomfortable is that there are no women.
They live like savages in the mountains.
Many soldiers complained in their hearts.
Regarding this, Xue Wanche knew very well in his heart that if he continued like this, those who couldn't keep him would betray him.
Perhaps, many people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of loneliness and loneliness in the mountains for the rest of their lives.
Today's sun is very good, and the spring breeze is not as cold as before.
This made everyone's mood a little better.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the weather is warm, and the Tang Army below will definitely move soon, so everyone should be careful." Xue Wanche commanded his own people, he was also a fierce general, and he also knew a little about the art of war.
Yu Fengtun's troops did not attack at the end of the South Mountain, and they were afraid that it would be sunny when they were waiting, right?
Just as Xue Wanche was saying this, a soldier suddenly hurriedly came to report: "General Xue, the people below suddenly shot arrows at the mountain, I don't know why." ”
"Archery?" Xue Wanche felt a little ridiculous, they were now on the top of the mountain, even if those Tang troops were very powerful, they were afraid that they would not be able to shoot on the mountainside, and it was even more foolish to shoot them if they wanted to shoot them.
He knew that Yu Feng, and knew that he was not stupid, but he was not stupid, how could he do such a thing?
Xue Wanche stood on the top of the mountain and looked down and stared at it, and after a long time, he ordered: "Come on, you two go down and see what's going on." ”
"We ...... Two? "The two soldiers who were pointed at were a little frightened, there are five hundred Tang troops stationed below, if they go down, won't they be looking for death?
"That's right, just the two of you." Xue Wanche's tone was very cold, he had to maintain enough majesty now, otherwise these people might defect and surrender to the Tang army at any time.
When the two saw Xue Wanche like this, they were also scared in their hearts, and hurriedly responded.
After the two of them got down, they rushed down the mountain, and when they reached the mountainside, they finally slowed down because of fear.
"You say that if we go on like this, will we be killed by the Tang Army?" One of the soldiers said this, and the other soldier shuddered.
"It should ...... No, we are also Tang Jun. ”
"But we are the prince's people, Li Shimin will not let us go."
They don't even know that Li Shimin has become the crown prince.
"Don't worry, don't worry, if we are caught, we will surrender, maybe we will be able to get rid of the hard life in the mountains, even if I go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I don't want to be a wild man here."
They can't see the light of day, they don't see women, and they don't even live bloodlessly, which makes them very unbearable.
When they escorted Xue Wanche to escape, they also thought about martyrdom for the crown prince, but when they really felt such a day, they couldn't stand it.
The two of them walked all the way, comforting all the way.
It didn't take long to see the sharp arrows shot by the Tang army.
There are a lot of sharp arrows, and they are shot everywhere.
"There's something on the arrow." A soldier took out a sharp arrow, opened it and looked at it, and his brow suddenly condensed.
"What, Li Shimin has become the crown prince, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and the children of Li Jiancheng and King Qi have been killed?"
"If we don't surrender, they're going to keep us on it for the rest of our lives as savages?"
The two looked at each other, and then, both of them suddenly had the urge to surrender, they didn't know who they were insisting on now, what to do if they didn't surrender?
"We ...... Surrender. ”
"Do you want to go up and report to the general, in case the general also agrees to surrender, wouldn't it be better for us to follow?"
Both of them were a little hesitant, if Xue Wanche surrendered, they would definitely have a better life, after all, they knew very well that if Xue Wanche surrendered, Li Shimin might treat him preferentially.
But if Xue Wanche doesn't surrender, then they will lose such a great opportunity to surrender.
"Go back!"
