Only an hour passed after the letter of persuasion was ejected, and a hanging basket was put down on the wall of Hangu Pass, and after the hanging basket landed, a middle-aged scribe walked out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing this, Bai Xiaode immediately sent someone forward to inquire, and learned that this person was the person sent to Runke to negotiate, and he immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Ziliang, who met with this person in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Meet Zhao Dashuai in Xia Xu Shiwen!" The middle-aged scribe saluted Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the middle-aged scribe for a while, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" Come on, show this Mr. Xu! ”

Soon a soldier brought a chair, Xu Shiwen saluted again, thanked him, and then sat down on the chair.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Ben Shuai's letter of persuasion has made it very clear that there is no other way out for the rebels of Xiang Runke and Hanguguan except to surrender, I don't know what Mr. Xu is here for?" ”

Xu Shiwen said: "Marshal Mingjian, my family can surrender to the general, or not, this mainly depends on the conditions of the marshal, if the marshal gives the conditions are generous, my general can surrender, if the marshal gives the conditions that my general is not very satisfied, the surrender is only afraid of difficult to say!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "In addition to surrendering, Ben Shuai can't think of any other way out for Xiang Runke!" ”

Xu Shiwen's face changed, and he immediately said: "The marshal doesn't take my general seriously. My generals have a lot of choices, they can hold on, they can really not hold it, they can also lead the army to retreat to Luoyang to defend again, in this way, the price that the marshal needs to pay to attack Xiongguan Jiancheng is not what the marshal can bear! ”

"Really?" Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked, "Ben Shuai wants to ask, why does he stick to Runke?" Why did he let all the generals in Hangu Pass follow him with all their hearts? Now as long as you are not a fool, you can see that An Qingxu is out of play, and the person who follows him all the way to the end will definitely not end well, if you want to change your past mistakes and draw a clear line with An Qingxu, this is the best time! When our army takes Luoyang, if you want to surrender, you have to see if Ben Shuai is in a good mood! ”

Xu Shiwen was a little annoyed, "Zhao Dashuai, you have to make a promise to my general, what kind of treatment my general will have if he surrenders, how to settle the soldiers under his command, and so on." You can't make my general surrender unconditionally, can you? ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Yes, that's what I think, Xiang Runke must surrender unconditionally, I can guarantee that his life is worry-free, whether he can continue to be an official and commander is not up to me, if he resists to the end, I don't believe that other generals and soldiers in Hangu Pass will choose to die with him!" It's not that I look down on him, his prestige and personality charm to Runke haven't reached this level! Maybe we don't have to do it, and there will be a lot of people in Hangu Pass who want to use his head to come to me to ask for merit and reward! ”

Xu Shiwen's face was extremely difficult to see, "Zhao Dashuai, what you said is clearly teasing us, since you want us to surrender unconditionally, why did you say in the letter of persuasion that you can recommend the meritorious people who surrendered to the imperial court as officials, and why did you also promise to allow the soldiers to surrender and go home after receiving the entanglement?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "That's what my persuasion book says, if Xiang Runke leads the troops to surrender and dedicates Hangu Pass to the imperial court intact, he is naturally a meritorious person, and Ben Shuai will definitely recommend it to the imperial court, as for whether the imperial court will use him, this is not something that Ben Shuai can decide, but even if the court no longer uses him, Ben Shuai can also ensure his life is safe and he will live a worry-free life for the rest of his life!" After the other generals and soldiers in Hangu Pass surrender, the commander will follow the promise, and those who do not want to fight can receive the passage money and go home, and those who want to stay in the army will have to accept the reorganization."

Xu Shiwen thought about it, got up and arched his hand: "Okay, I'll go back and report to my general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, I hope to make a wise and correct choice to Runke!" Someone, send off! ”

Xu Shiwen returned to Hangu Pass, Xiang Runke and his generals were still waiting for his news, he just walked into the lobby and was about to report to Xiang Runke alone, but before he could speak, a soldier ran in from outside and reported to Xiang Runke and all the generals: "General, General Tian was killed when he saw the emperor in Bianzhou!" ”

"What?" Xiang Runke and all the generals were stunned, not all of them were Xiang Runke's henchmen, most of them were Tian Chenghe's people.

Xiang Runke immediately asked, "Who killed General Tian?" ”

"The emperor said that General Tian and the Tang Army secretly communicated with the Tang Army and betrayed Dayan, so he ordered General Tian to be beheaded!"

"Fart, General Tian is loyal to Dayan and the emperor, how could he betray? I have been with General Tian day and night, and I have never seen him meet with Tang Jun in private, so how can he secretly communicate with Tang Jun? It's a fart! There was a commotion in the lobby, and the generals were angry, and they scolded one by one!

Xiang Runke didn't expect things to turn out like this, Tian Chengsi died, and he didn't know if An Qingxu would send someone else to preside over the overall situation of Hangu Pass, but he knew very well that if this situation continued, the Great Yan Dynasty was afraid that there would not be many days left, and at this time it was time to consider retreating!

After thinking for a long time, Xiang Runke saw that there was still a lot of noise in the lobby, so he patted the table and shouted, "Okay, be quiet!" ”

The noise finally stopped, and he said to Runke: "Everyone, I'm afraid that General Tian's matter is true, and once the news of this kind of thing comes out, it will not be false. Since General Tian is dead, now Hangu Pass is the general of this great, judging from the future, this Great Yan Dynasty is only afraid that it will be unreliable, we have to think about ourselves, what do you think? ”

Since Xiang Runke made his words clear, the others did not hide anymore, and said that they could consider surrendering to the Tang army.

Xiang Runke saw that the generals and colonels all had the intention of surrendering, so he looked at Xu Shiwen and asked, "Mr. Xu, you just came back from the Tang Army camp, tell General Ben and all the generals about your meeting with Zhao Ziliang!" ”

"This ・・・・・・ general, can the subordinate report this matter to the general alone?"

Xiang Runke and the generals were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and someone immediately reacted, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Xu, is there something that can't be told to me to know, and you still have to report to General Xiang alone?" Isn't it that you left us alone, but what kind of separate dirty deal did General Xiang have with the Tang Army? ”

The others were not stupid, and soon someone understood, and immediately echoed: "Yes, if there is anything to say here, if someone wants to betray us behind our brother's back, our brother will not agree, forcing us, and the guy in our hands will not say anything!" ”

"That's right, just say it here, tell me quickly, what are you doing grinding and chirping? As soon as I see that you have a ghost in your heart, there must be something unsavvy to hide from me! ”

"Say it quickly, if you don't say it again, Lao Tzu will cut you!" Someone couldn't help but stand up and draw a knife directly.

Faced with this situation, Xu Shiwen couldn't hold it anymore, he didn't dare to joke with his life, and immediately told the situation of his meeting with Zhao Ziliang in the Tang Army camp and everything he said word for word.

After listening to Xu Shiwen's words, everyone looked at Xiang Runke, and Xiang Runke finally knew why Xu Shiwen wanted to report this matter to him alone, it turned out that Xu Shiwen was all for him.

Zhao Ziliang's meaning is obvious, everyone can be forgiven, but Xiang Runke can not be forgiven, he must be responsible for the rebellion, but as long as he surrenders, he will not have to worry about his life, but it is difficult to say whether he can continue to be an official and lead the army, and the others are just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they will not care too much about staying in the imperial court, if they want to stay and continue to serve in the army, there is a high possibility that they can still keep an official and a half position, or continue to stay in the army to lead the army.

Annoyed and angry, Xiang Runke jumped like thunder, "Zhao Ziliang deceived people too much, and he didn't promise anything like a surrender to my surname Xiang?" Who does he think he is? Did he think I was really going nowhere, really cornered to someone? It's ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Xiang Runke, who lost his temper, found that everyone was looking at him, and then he felt that he was in danger, Zhao Ziliang only targeted him and did not promise him any benefits, and if the other generals surrendered, if they were willing to stay, they could continue to do their original positions, but the soldiers they brought were different, which clearly meant to isolate him, if he insisted on not surrendering, the other rebel generals were afraid that they would kill him for the sake of their own future and their lives.

Xiang Runke felt that everyone's eyes looking at him were full of hostility, vigilance, and murderous intent, and this feeling made him instantly creepy.

"If you don't give any conditions, you want General Ben to surrender? Dream? Lao Tzu didn't have to be in the army for a short time, what did Lao Tzu work hard for so many years? It's not for promotion and getting rich, he doesn't let Lao Tzu get promoted, he doesn't let Lao Tzu get rich, why should Lao Tzu surrender to him? The order went down, and all the brothers in Hangu Pass fought a decisive battle with the Tang army to the end, and anyone who dared to say anything about surrender would be killed! "Shout at Runke.

Someone said up: "General Xiang, everyone knows that they can't hold it, is it interesting to keep it at this time?" No matter how much you hold on, it's just a matter of paying some more lives, so why bother? ”

"Damn, you're looking for death!" Xiang Runke rushed over and drew his knife and hacked the general who spoke, and his action really frightened most of the people in the hall.

After the body was dragged away, Xiang Runke yelled at the others, "Did you see it? This is the end of surrender, and if anyone says surrender again, he is your example! Well, go back to your positions and cheer up General Ben to guard against the Tang army's siege! ”

The generals got up and left, but Xiang Runke had already begun to be isolated, and even his former cronies consciously began to distance themselves from him, because no one wanted to accompany him to his funeral.

That night, Xiang Runke was not at ease, worried that someone would betray him by carrying him behind his back to contact the Tang army outside Hangu Pass, so he took a few personal soldiers to inspect the city wall in person, and several generals and soldiers began to surround him.

"What are you ・・・・・・ you doing? Want to rebel? You ・・・・・・" After discovering the abnormality to Runke, he began to be frightened in his heart.

A general pulled out his waist knife and said, "Xiang Runke, if you want to die, don't drag us to die with you, right?" Since you want to drag us to death together, then don't blame the brothers for being ruthless! The brothers listened, and if you don't want to die, go up with me to kill Xiang Runke, and then surrender to the Tang Army, kill! ”

"Kill!"

After a fight, Xiang Runke was chopped into meat sauce, and several of his own soldiers were not spared.

Early the next morning, the gate of Hangu Pass was opened, and the rebel soldiers lined up carrying the body of Xiang Runke, and walked out empty-handed to surrender.
