Seeing Lin Chong rushing over like lightning alone, he captured their coach Xu Jingsheng alive in the blink of an eye and walked away.

There were thousands of Song troops at the head of the city under Tonglu City, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Straight thief, this Lin Chong is as brave and strong as this!

The so-called one horse is a thousand, breaking the formation and destroying the front, and taking the head of the general (captured) in the army of ten thousand, today is considered to be seen in person!

Zhang Shuye, who had been watching the battle on the city wall, and He Mei, the Zhiwei Shengjun, were also sinking like water at this time, looking at all this in disbelief, they really didn't expect Lin Chong to come to such a hand!

In this way, Xu Jing was captured alive, almost half of the army under his command was Dan Nian who had followed him in the bloody battle in the northwest, if Xu Jing surrendered, this Tongyu City would be so easily broken by the Liangshan army!

Sure enough, he saw Lin Chong beating his horse and returning, and only after running back fifty or sixty steps did he turn the horse's head again, glanced at the thousands of Song troops in the city, and shouted loudly: "You have captured your commander alive!" If you still want him alive, you will lay down your weapons and surrender! ”

Thousands of Song army soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking at their leading generals at a loss, and those leading generals were also at a loss to look at Xu Jing, the commander of the Jiedu who was carried by Lin Chong in front of the saddle, habitually waiting for him to make a final decision.

When Xu Jing fought with the Western Thieves and the Tubo tribes in the northwest, he also had a general in front of the battle to capture the flag, and the scenery was infinite, but as soon as he clashed, he was captured alive by Lin Chongsheng, and his old face suddenly turned red.

At this time, hearing that Lin Chong was threatening his life, Xu Jing felt even more ashamed and hateful, and he couldn't die immediately!

I am a hero, and when I am old, I will not be able to protect myself in the old age, will I be so humiliated?

At that moment, Xu Jing wanted to raise his voice in the saddle and shout, telling his subordinates to leave him alone with life and death, and just kill the enemy.

However, Lin Chong had heard Huanzhang talk about Xu Jing's strong personality, and seeing Xu Jing struggling the saddle, Lin Chong knew that he would not say the words of disarming and surrendering, so he hurriedly rushed before him and said: "Old General Xu, do you really want to be martyred for this dark and rotten court?" And to lose the lives of thousands of soldiers under his command? Just to fulfill your name? You don't think about the Hun family and your young son at all? ”

Xu Jing suddenly stopped struggling.

Speaking of which, the Zhao and Song courts emphasized literature over military force, and Xu Jing actually did not have much sense of identity with the Zhao and Song courts for so many years, not how loyal he was to the Zhao and Song courts.

The reason why he refused to surrender was that he was captured alive, and he regarded disarming and surrendering as a disgrace as a soldier; Second, I am mainly grateful for the kindness of the first emperor (Song Zhezong).

But after the death of the first emperor, he was transferred out of Kansai and arranged to retire in the party.

And because his first Yun Niang was killed by the civil official Zhang Shouli, after which he killed Zhang Shouli to avenge his wife, but at the same time offended the civil official turban group.

Therefore, although he is a festival envoy, he has been ostracized and neglected, and even the military salaries and grains that should be given by the imperial court are often deducted and drifted away by the turbans.

Speaking of which, Xu Jing didn't look at the Zhao and Song courts emotionally.

On the contrary, he did not start a family for the second time when he was forty years old after becoming a festival envoy, and now his wife is only in her thirties, and his two sons are thirteen years old and the other is only eight years old.

The old husband has a young wife and a young son, and his family is naturally heavier in his heart than this suspicion and the court that despises him.

For a while, Xu Jing hesitated and remained silent between being loyal to the imperial court, preserving his honor or reuniting with his family, and protecting the lives of his subordinates.

Lin Chong was secretly overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly added another weight to the scale: "Old General Xu doesn't remember Mr. Wen's old days? Mr. Wen is in Liangshan, but the old general misses him tightly? ”

Xu Jing was silent, but Lin Chong obviously felt that there was a play, and at that moment he hurriedly straightened Xu Jing's body, put it on the ground, and said: "Old General Xu, let me say one last sentence, if the monarchs and ministers of the court at this time, the old general is loyal to the court, and it is reasonable to say that he would rather die than surrender!"

But what the court is like now, what Zhao Ji is like, the old general will not know! Think about it, if Mr. Wen hadn't been disappointed in the imperial court and disheartened, how could he be so helpful to the world, Sun Wu's talent, and Zhuge Zhizhi's wisdom, how could he go to Anren Village outside Tokyo to live in seclusion as a teacher? ”

Originally, Xu Jing's choice was on the balance of personal honor and disgrace, and the first emperor was gracious; While putting his family reunion and the lives of his soldiers under his command, he was still a little hesitant and wavering.

At this time, as soon as Lin Chong heard that Wen Huanzhang and the darkness of the imperial court were on the side of the scale, there was no longer any doubt about how to choose.

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming due north, and the sound of people shouting and neighing seemed to come from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the entire valley and clearing.

Xu Jing is also a person who has fought in the northwest for ten years, and has also fought against the West Thief Iron Harrier and the Capture Army, and has seen the formation of 10,000 horses galloping, and immediately made a judgment when he heard this voice, this is at least the power of 10,000 horses running fast.

It seems that Lin Chong's "losing the lives of thousands of soldiers under his command" is not a lie and intimidation, the Liangshan army really has thousands of cavalry troops rushing here, and it is really unpleasant to fight these soldiers under his command!

Xu Jing is also a very decisive person, since he has made a choice, he will not hesitate at the moment, turn around and face the thousands of Song troops under Tongjiao City and the head of the city with all his strength and shouted: "The whole army has it!" Open the gates, and we have descended! ”

When Zhang Shuye and He Mei heard it on the city gate, their hearts sank, and they heard Zhang Shuye say in shock: "Old General Xu, you are deeply favored by the first emperor, and the court has never treated you badly, how can you betray the lord and rebel!" ”

Xu Jing wants face in the end, and when he was questioned by Zhang Shuye like this, an old face suddenly turned red as if he could drip blood.

As soon as he heard the commander speak, he immediately gave orders at the head of the city and under the city, ordering the soldiers under his command to give way to the city, ordering the city gate that had just been closed, and the drawbridge that had been pulled up was reopened, put down, and prepare to welcome the Liangshan army into the city.

A small number of former Tongbao City defender generals under He Mei's command still resisted at first, but these leaders were quickly suppressed by the Shangdang army under the command of Xu Jing, who was more powerful, and the rest surrendered obediently.

With He Mei and Zhang Shuye being controlled by Xu Jing's henchmen, Tongba City was taken by Lin Chong with one blow.

At this time, the six thousand Liangshan light cavalry led by Luan Tingyu, Tang Bin, and Yang Zhi also slaughtered under the city, and Lin Chong let them rest temporarily under the city, and he entered the city with Xu Jing.
