Chapter 65: The Fall of the City

Seeing the soaring flames, Li Changjun took the rest of the troops and began to act. They marched in the direction of the fire, expecting to see the warriors led by Li Jia'er burn the Liang army's barn, and at this moment they were chasing the panicked Liang army. They are going to rush over now, help Li Jia'er, and then whip a few sticks on Liang Jun, a water dog!

When they advanced close enough, Li Changjun realized that reality and expectations were always very different. Liang's camp was not as chaotic as he expected, not even the sound of fighting, except for the whirring sound of flames, it could be said that it was as calm as an empty camp.

"Li Jia'er, where did they go?" Li Changjun's heart suddenly tightened, "The flames are indeed the direction of Liang Jun's barn, but what about our people?" Why can't you even hear the shouts of killing? ”

"Could it be that something has changed?" Li Changjun's face could no longer maintain the same calm as before, and began to tense, "Slow down, don't rush in!" Li Changjun cautiously instructed his subordinates.

Everyone raised their vigilance and slowly approached the Liang army's barracks.

"There was no sound of fighting, and what was even stranger was that the Liang army didn't even make a sound of panic, didn't they see the fire?" Li Changjun's heart was full of questions.

"The only reasonable explanation is that the fire was not set by Liang Jun himself......" Thinking of this, Li Changjun's slender eyes immediately widened, and the most terrifying thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Quick! Retreat! He suddenly shouted loudly, swinging his arms vigorously urging the soldiers to move faster.

The soldiers were overwhelmed by the sudden and strange order of their commander, and as they looked at each other, there was a whistling sound in the sky.

"Bow and arrow!" Someone shouted loudly.

Before the shouting completely disappeared, the overwhelming array of arrows hit the Wei army's head like a torrential rain.

With a sparse commotion, the Wei army fell in large pieces.

Li Changjun's eyes showed a look that had never appeared before-fear!

Under the reflection of the flames, he saw Liang Jun who suddenly poured out, frantically chasing and killing his subordinates, and the originally expected role was completely reversed, and it was actually Wei Jun who turned into a water dog who was whipped a stick.

Needless to say, Li Jia'er and they must have been wiped out!

Li Changjun trembled and couldn't move at all. Several of his personal guards put his arms on his shoulders and almost dragged him to the back as desperately as he could.

Li Changjun's eyelids were throbbing, the corners of his eyes were covered with bloodshots, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he suddenly broke out with a violent scream, "Who is it?" Who was the commander of the Liang army? It can't be Motoshu, who is it? ”

For Li Changjun, who has always shown himself as calm as water, if he was really forced into a desperate situation, there would never be such a hysterical performance.

None of the personal guards who dragged him answered his words, so they buried their heads and ran desperately. When they had already run a long way away and should have escaped from the pursuit of the Liang army, Li Changjun broke free.

He looked dazed and lost, staggered a few steps, looked at Shouyang City in the distance, he suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowed a few times, Li Changjun raised his head, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were full of hatred, maybe it was too hard, the biting lower lip had been broken, and blood flowed out.

"Father, the child is incompetent, and he cannot solve his father's trouble." Li Changjun gritted his teeth and said word by word, "If something happens, the child will definitely avenge his father!" ”

After speaking, Li Changjun bowed deeply in the direction of Shouyang again, then stood up suddenly, and left with resentment under the protection of those personal guards......

At the same time, at the head of the city of Shouyang, Li Xian, who was watching the battle, seemed to feel his son's mood, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The relatives around him asked with concern.

"Look no further." Li Xian waved his hand weakly, "Go and arrange it, inform Liang Jun, and we surrender." ”

The next day, Shouyang's envoy came to Xiahou Kang's military camp and explained the information that Li Xian was preparing to surrender.

Although it was expected, Li Xian surrendered after besieging the city for a short time, which was a big surprise.

Xiahou was overjoyed, rubbing his hands constantly, walking back and forth, "I didn't expect it, I finally waited for this day!" ”

"Xiahou Gong was ordered to conquer Shouyang and make such a feat, and the younger generations admired it!" Wei Fang also congratulated Xiahou with a smile on his face.

"Originally, I expected that it would take at least half a year to surround it, and I would have to fight with the reinforcements of the Wei army for a few rounds, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth, why did you say that Li Xian fell so quickly?" Xiahou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"It must have been Ziyun's army that lured out the reinforcements of the Wei army, and also broke Li Xian's thoughts, so he surrendered so quickly." Wei Fang said.

"Well, this time King Ye's army has made a great contribution, and I will definitely ask Your Majesty for merit for them!"

According to the agreed time, in the morning of the next day, Xiahou Kang took Liang Jun, Wei Fang, Yuan Shu, Zhan Seng Zhi, and Chen Qing to follow and came to the south gate of Shouyang to accept Li Xian's surrender.

The city gate of the south gate of Shouyang was wide open, and Li Xian stood in front of the city gate, and his personal entourage held the seal ribbon and stood behind Li Xian.

Seeing the arrival of Xiahou and his entourage, Li Xian knelt down and arched his hand and said, "Surrender to Li Xian, welcome General Xiahou." ”

Xiahou Yan smiled with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to help Li Xian, "Li Gong understands the righteousness, and the city is surrendered to avoid the lives of the people of Shouyang, this is a great merit, and Your Majesty will definitely treat Li Gong well." ”

"General Xiahou, I don't dare to speak of merit in my subordinates, surrender only for the people of the city, I hope that your army can treat the people well, don't kill and loot, I have been blistered for so long, the people of Shouyang are bitter enough."

"Gong Li, rest assured, I will strictly restrain the soldiers and will never harass the people."

"Thank you General Xiahou for that long time!" Li Xian thanked him deeply, and then beckoned his relatives to come with him.

He pointed to the wooden plate he was holding with him, "This is the Shouyang seal ribbon, as well as the key to the treasury, the household registration, money and grain are all in the treasury, and General Xiahou can count them later." ”

Xiahou Kang nodded, and Zhan Seng Zhi came over, stretched out his hand and respectfully took the tray.

"Gong Li, then you can take us into the city." Xiahou raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

"General Xiahou, I have handed over the city to your army, please forgive me for being rude to enter the city, so I will not accompany you." Li Xian bowed and said.

"Oh? Then Li Gong, you ......" Xiahou Yan was a little puzzled.

"I lost the city and lost the land, just for the sake of the people and soldiers in the city, and I didn't want them to lose their lives innocently with me, so I opened the city and surrendered, hoping that your army would treat them well. As for Xia, where is there still a face to live in the world, I just hope that General Xiahou will be perfected, so that he can be martyred in Xia, and in the future, he will be able to leave a clear name in the history. ”

"Li Gong, why do you bother, you have the merit of dedicating the city, Your Majesty will definitely treat you well, you look at the Xuzhou Yuan monk, the glory and wealth ......" Xiahou Kang hurriedly wanted to dissuade.

"General Xiahou!" Li Xian interrupted Xiahou Kang's words, "Although Li Xian is not talented, he also disdains to be compared with those who betray the country and seek glory. I only hope that General Xiahou will be fulfilled, don't persuade again! ”

Looking at Li Xian's resolute attitude, Xiahou Kang's heart suddenly rose with admiration, and he solemnly bowed his hand, "Li Gong is righteous and awe-inspiring, Xiahou admires!" Li Gong'an is on the road, and I will bury Li Gong's ......"

With the permission of Xiahou Kang, Li Xian calmly climbed the city tower, tidied up his clothes and hair crown, and solemnly bowed three times in the direction of Luoyang, and then resolutely jumped down from the city tower, fulfilling his loyalty with his own life......
