Chapter 298: Persuasion to surrender to victory

Let's say that after Guan Sheng was persuaded by Hao Siwen and Tang Bin, he returned to the camp, thinking that there was no hope of rescue, but there were still more than 1,000 people under him, and they couldn't let them fall into the hands of Liang Shan. Then he cheered up and hurried again, and sent people to ask for praise, and prepared to lead them out of the siege while it was dark.

At this time, I saw Hao Siwen say: "Brother first, don't act rashly, just before the village, the younger brother said that he had something to tell him after returning to the camp, and now he has the right to listen to me, and then let my brother be the master, and he will never stop it." ”

Guan Sheng said that he hesitated, then stopped and said, "Time is urgent, brother is a long story short." ”

"I don't hide it from my brother, Brother Tang Bin and I actually went to Liangshan Manor at this time last year, but now they are the two battalion commanders of the Liangshan Cavalry. The previous attack on the Daimyo's Mansion, the younger brother was also among them. ”

That Guan Sheng only heard this sentence, and his face changed greatly, only to see him staring at Hao Siwen for a while, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, and then turned his eyes to look at Tang Bin on the side, and saw him nodding again. Feeling deceived by the two closest brothers, he couldn't help but burst out of an evil fire, and immediately said coldly:

"I can't imagine that I led the troops to suppress the thieves, but there were two battalion commanders buried by the thieves, why, the two battalion commanders, now they killed me, or took them to ask for merit. Just come here, and you two will be fulfilled in the next. ”

"Brother, Hugh said such ruthless words, you ask yourself, after I arrived at the barracks, can I do the slightest thing to be sorry for you, if we have bad intentions, Hugh said that now, when the army is defeated, he can take the opportunity to attack you. Besides, the three of us have been brothers for many years, and our brother doesn't know the nature of our character? ”

Hao Siwen saw that Guan Sheng's words were mean, but he didn't care at all, but said something calmly.

Guan Sheng listened, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but regret his excesses just now, but he was even more confused in his heart, so he asked:

"Why did those two brothers come to this camp?"

"But I couldn't bear my brother's defeat and humiliation, so I came to save my brother. The strength of Liangshan Manor, my brother should have seen it the day before yesterday, but what you saw was only a small part of it. said that Shi Wengong, who is as strong as him, is not a few in the manor, and he does not mention others, but his senior brothers Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Luan Tingyu, presumably his brother also knows that one of these people will be inferior to him. Coupled with the full support of the local people, my brother thinks that with your more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, you can have hope of winning. ”

Guan Sheng listened to Hao Siwen's analysis, and also felt that it was indeed impossible to capture Liangshan, but he said that he was here to save him, but where to start, when he was confused, he listened to Hao Siwen continue.

"The virtue of the Great Zhou court, I don't say that my brother is also clear, if a person without a foundation, it is difficult to retreat after the defeat, and after thinking that Hu Yanzhuo is famous, as a state system, he has made great contributions in the fashion of Qingzhou, and in the end it is not a prisoner car. And what is the status of my brother compared to him, so he said that Ke Qing, a little Yu Hou, is not also yelling in front of you, and that paragraph can often be stopped. Therefore, when my brother and I were in the manor, and when my brother led the troops, he knew that you would be defeated, and that your future was in danger, so he begged the petty officials to come and persuade you not to do unwise things. ”

"Do the two brothers want me to surrender Liangshan?"

Guan Sheng already understood the meaning of the two at this time, and couldn't help but ask playfully.

"That's what I mean!"

Hao Siwen saw that Guan Sheng was a little careless, so he replied solemnly.

"In my brother's eyes, can't I really see the difference of this Liangshan, although my brother and Tang Bin are not as knowledgeable as my brother, but they are by no means ignorant people, so we are at ease here, one is that this court is too disappointing, so people can't have a trace of loyalty; The second is that this manor is vibrant, and people can always see hope in it, so they say this escort, when I entered the camp, the first thing I learned was the military regulations, but it was different from the army of previous dynasties, called "three disciplines, eight attentions", the whole vernacular but its connotation beyond the military discipline of previous dynasties, I believe my brother will be shocked when he sees it. ”

Hao Siwen said, took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Guan Sheng, and then said:

"What's more critical is the third, this ancient petty official is really a genius, and he is thirteen years old, but he has both civil and military skills. Brother must have known that he is a member of the Zhou Dynasty, but he must not know how he entered the door of the Emperor, it is said that he was struck by lightning when he was ten years old, but he was reborn and opened his mind, the hero felt the vision of the sky in the Qinling Mountains, so he traveled thousands of miles east to find Gujiazhuang to accept him as an apprentice, and on the way invited the capital hermit Mr. Wen Huanzhang to come over and teach together. If the hero's actions are not enough to explain anything, then another news is shocking, when he first entered the manor, the younger brother was in the first battalion as Zhou Yunqing's deputy, he is the son of Zhou Daxia, and once revealed a news with me, it turned out that when the little official was ten years old, the old fairy Luo Zhenren of Hebei Erxian Mountain, once specially sent his disciple Gongsun Sheng to send three elixirs to Gujiazhuang to him, and now this Gongsun Sheng is also serving in the manor of the little official. This Luo Zhenren is famous for the three of our brothers, why did he send him medicine alone and send his disciples to serve. ”

"Actually, these are all things that we only learned after we arrived at Liangshan Manor, when we were in Weizhou, so we decided to come here with him, but there was another reason, this matter Tang Bin brother personally experienced, so he will tell you."

Hao Siwen said it solemnly, and Tang Bin went on to talk about what he saw and heard on the canal that night, and talked about the conversations between Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong one by one, and finally said:

"Little brother, I heard Gu Xiaoguan say at the time, 'There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, how can you let the Hu people get involved', and I thought in my heart that this person is worth accompanying him. What are the skills that you and my brother have learned? When I was in Pudong, I just wanted to make a meritorious career and seek an official and a half-position to glorify my ancestors, and who thought about doing something for this Han family and this Yanhuang son! But this teenage boy had such ambitions, and I was lying in the cabin, and I just felt my face burn. Later, after going to Liangshan, I found that the people in the manor were all ambitious, and when they got along with the petty officials, Mr. Wen, Director Xiao, Director Xu and others, they talked about governing the country and expanding the territory. Although Liangshan is just an island in the lake, the eyes of the people in it have long seen abroad. I heard Director Xu say that the petty officials are ready to send troops to Liaodong and Goryeo when the time is ripe to attack the back of the Jurchens. Hey! At that time, no matter what, we will have to fight for a place on the expedition. If my brother can come to the manor, and the three of us brothers will conquer the world with the little officials, this scene is exciting to think about. ”

Let's say that Hao Siwen and Tang Bin's words were huge, Guan Sheng was shocked when he heard it, and he sat quietly for a while before slowly digesting it. Could it be that this petty official is really a man of destiny! Not to mention that he was valued by masters like Luo Zhenren and Zhou Wei at a young age, but the domineering spirit and feelings of worrying about the country and the people that he revealed were really convincing. He couldn't help but think of the current decaying court, is it really time to change the dynasty! I was stunned for a while.

"Brother, there is a matter of brother, I will cut it first, and please forgive me." At this time, Tang Bin saw that Guan Sheng's expression was greatly relaxed, so he spoke.

Guan Sheng came back to his senses, but he didn't reply, just glanced at Tang Bin.

"A few days ago, my brother was defeated, and Brother Siwen and I were worried that the court would be unfavorable to your family, so we had already sent someone to Pudong to pick up my sister-in-law and others, and I must be arriving in Pudong soon."

"I know all the intentions of the two brothers for my brother, and now that it has come to this point, if I don't obey again, I'm afraid you won't recognize me as a brother in the future, so I will do what you want, and go and follow that little official, I hope it will not disappoint you in the future!"

After listening to what Tang Bin said, Guan Sheng knew that there was no way out, and he was really curious about this little official, so he agreed.

When Tang Bin and Hao Siwen heard this, they were overjoyed, and immediately said, "I will not disappoint my brother." ”

At that moment, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen were about to go out to welcome the soldiers and horses of Liangshan in, but Guan Sheng said that General Xuanzan came with him, and he couldn't let him go back alone to suffer, let him talk to him first, and it would be best to return to obedience together. The two naturally had no objection when they heard it.

It is said that Xuanzan was also awakened by the attack on the camp of Liangshan at night, and he was also ready to lead troops to rescue, but he was blocked by the Liangshan people in front of the camp, and when he could not advance or retreat, he rushed to Guan Sheng's tent to discuss the plan, but when he arrived in front of the tent, he happened to meet the people sent by Guan Sheng.

"The Chinese army camp was attacked, Captain Duan's life and death are unknown, and our rear army is also surrounded by Liangshan soldiers and horses, what are the plans of the county horse?" As soon as Xuanzan entered, Guan Sheng asked.

Xuanzan originally came to discuss what the idea was, and then replied: "There is nothing to be done in the lower right, and it is all up to the brothers to decide." ”

"Judging from the current situation, no matter whether Taiwei Duan is out of the encirclement or not, we will not be able to go back to the capital. I don't hide it from Junma, the two brothers around me were also from Liangshan Manor, and they urged me to join there, I thought about it again and again, and I also felt that the current court was indeed not worth it, so it was better to go to Liangshan Manor to fight. If you are willing to go to Liangshan with me, it is naturally best to go to Liangshan with me, if you are not willing to go, I will definitely ensure that you leave safely. ”

Guan Sheng, who suddenly heard Xuanzan, wanted to return to Liangshan, and thought he was joking, but after a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that he had a positive face.

At this time, Tang Bin said at the right time: "We also have some understanding of General Xuan's situation in the forbidden army, and besides, this attack on my Liangshan Manor, it was also you who recommended my brother to lead the army, and now that he is defeated, the court must also have a person to take the blame." Duan Chang is impossible to be a captain, but Guan Sheng's brother doesn't go back, and the only one left is the general. When the ancient petty officials of Liangshan Manor were in Beijing last year, they were famous in the capital, and the county horses should have heard of it, such as today's heroes are all famous to vote. Whether the general returns to Beijing to accept the guilt, or goes to Liangshan Manor to create a great cause with the heroes of the world, he should make the right choice. ”

"There is no place for the forbidden army in the capital to tolerate me anymore! Since you came out with the Guan Sheng brothers, let's go with you! ”

After struggling for a long time, Xuanzan Zhang Yu made a choice.

Tang Bin and Hao Siwen were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately went out of the camp to report to the people of Liangshan who surrounded the village.

A moment later, under the leadership of Guan Sheng and Xuanzan, all the thousands of people in the Hou army surrendered to Liangshan, so that the second attack of the Great Zhou court on Liangshan was completely defeated. In this battle, Liangshan Manor not suffered the slightest loss, but gained two generals, Guan Sheng and Xuanzan, and nearly 10,000 soldiers, providing sufficient soldiers for Liangshan's escort. The strength of Liangshan Manor has been greatly improved.
