"Marshal, look, Zhao Ziliang has appeared in front of the Tang Army!" An adjutant general said to Yin Ziqi after seeing Zhao Ziliang's banner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ?

Yin Ziqi turned his head to look, and sure enough, he frowned and said, "Zhao Ziliang shouldn't be a reckless person, what does he want to do?" ”

Zhao Ziliang appeared in front of the Tang army, which quickly attracted everyone's attention and attention, only to see Zhao Ziliang riding on horseback with a wooden horn in front of his mouth and shouting loudly: "Rebel soldiers, I am Zhao Ziliang, the commander of the Tang Army, before the war starts, I have something to say to you, so as not to be resentful after you die!" ”

"You were originally my generals of the Tang Dynasty, but under the bewitchment and persecution of careerists such as An Lushan, An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang, etc., you rebelled against the imperial court, causing chaos in the world, how many innocent people were slaughtered and killed, and how many people were ruined because of you? The once prosperous and powerful Tang Dynasty, the splendid rivers and mountains are devastated and ruined everywhere because of your destruction? Did you know that while you are slaughtering other people's parents and relatives, your parents, brothers and sisters are also being slaughtered by your own people? When you destroy other people's homes, you are also destroying yours? You are soldiers, and it is right for soldiers to obey military orders, but soldiers cannot carry out wrong orders, and cannot do things that harm the interests of this country and this nation, your mission is to protect this river and mountain and not destroy him, and you have violated the most basic norms of a soldier! You people have never had a mind of your own, you are just a knife in the hands of others, and your knife is in the hands of people with evil intentions! If you have repentance, put down your weapons and surrender, I, Zhao, on behalf of the imperial court, hereby promise not to pursue your faults, including your commander General Yin Ziqi and other generals and colonels, can be pardoned, the fault of this war is not you, the culprit is An Lushan, An Qingxu and others, you surrender now, which is equivalent to a battlefield uprising! General Yin's ability to command troops is extraordinary, if he is willing to put down the butcher's knife and lead his troops to the battle, I will definitely recommend to the imperial court to entrust me with important tasks, and other generals will also have their own rewards! Give you two quarters of an hour to think about it, and when the time comes, if you haven't chosen yet, the commander will give the order to attack, and then the jade will be burned! ”

Yin Ziqi heard Zhao Ziliang's words, he knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop it, at this time, the army had not completed the formation, could not attack, and could not order the soldiers to block their ears, so he could only watch Zhao Ziliang finish speaking, Zhao Ziliang's words came out, but it was to disperse the ferocity of Yin Ziqi and others who had finally aroused the rebel soldiers just now, the rebel soldiers were dejected one by one at this time, and some even dropped their weapons, although the soldiers were farther apart, but Zhao Ziliang had a very loud voice, Coupled with the loudspeaker amplification and the tailwind, even the farthest rebel soldiers heard a little.

If you can be forgiven, what reason is there to fight hard? In particular, the soldiers, gang commanders, team leaders, brigade commanders, and captains at the bottom of the army, no matter how the leadership of the army above changes, the army always needs them, the grassroots officers, to lead the troops, and their status will not be threatened in any way, as long as they can be safe and sound, why should they care about the life or death of those people above? Now that there is a chance to be pardoned and lived, the minds of these low-level soldiers, especially low-level officers, are alive, and they don't want to fight anymore.

Some low-level officers in the rebel army began to discuss with each other, if the above insisted on fighting to the death with the Tang army, they would unite and not take the initiative to attack the Tang army, and when the Tang army was killed, they would immediately drop their weapons and surrender.

Yin Ziqi didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to come out like this before the battle, which disrupted his overall plan, and the soldiers almost didn't have the determination to fight to the death, how could this battle continue? Although there are many troops, but the morale is low, the combat power is a big difference, in this case, the gap in the strength of the force is unable to reverse the unfavorable side, Yin Ziqi is proficient in military affairs, and knows that if he fights forcibly, he will definitely lose!

Once the morale falls, it is almost difficult to rise again in a short period of time, at least Yin Ziqi can't think of any other way, do you want to tell the rebel soldiers that Zhao Ziliang is deceiving them? Who is Zhao Ziliang? Deceiving in front of an army of hundreds of thousands? Maybe someone dares to do this, but it's definitely not Zhao Ziliang!

Ling Huchao came over and asked, "Dashuai, the morale of the soldiers who have just been raised has fallen again, what should I do now?" Fighting with this kind of morale, our army will be defeated! ”

Yin Qizhi knows very well that in this situation, even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to recover the defeat, this Zhao Zi is very powerful, not to mention this person's ability to command the army, just this persuasion and reprimand disintegrate the morale of an army of 300,000!

Yin Ziqi asked, "What do you think?" ”

"This ・・・・・・" made Fox Chao hesitate.

Yin Ziqi knew his concerns and said, "You just have to say, no matter what you say, I won't blame you!" ”

Ling Huchao said: "Since this is the case, then the general will say it." Once this battle starts, our army will undoubtedly lose, the marshal and we are only afraid that we will not escape death in the end, in the opinion of the last general, things have come to this point, the marshal can be regarded as loyal to the father and son of the An family, not that we do not serve to die, but the destiny of heaven is difficult to disobey! Zhao Ziliang also said just now that as long as we surrender, he will recommend to the Li Tang court to take on important responsibilities, and we, the generals, can also be pardoned for our crimes, and we can also get rewards, and the soldiers will also have a way to live! ”

Yin Qizhi thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "In that case, you go and call the other generals to come over, and we will agree on this matter!" ”

"No!"

It didn't take long for the generals to gather again, Yin Ziqi solicited everyone's ideas, and now these generals and colonels have no determination to fight to the death, and he is also glad that he did not make the decision to fight to the death without authorization, otherwise, the military order will not be transmitted, and he may also be killed by his subordinates or coerced to surrender.

Zhao Ziliang has been sitting on horseback and has not moved, he knows how powerful his words are, if he can live, no one wants to die, if he can keep his position, no one wants to take risks or work hard, human nature is like this, unless they are forced to hurry, there will be people jumping over the wall in a hurry, if you want to prevent these 300,000 rebels from jumping off the wall in a hurry, you must let them see the hope of life.

Soon, the rebels sent a captain to run over on horseback and shout to Tang Jun here: "Our Yin Dashuai wants to discuss the surrender matter with Zhao Dashuai, can Zhao Dashuai meet with us alone?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "You go and tell General Yin that I will prepare a little wine in front of the general's formation and wait to meet him!" ”

Under Zhao Ziliang's instructions, several soldiers brought a table, two chairs, a pot of wine, two cups, and two symbolic side dishes from Hangu Pass.

Zhao Ziliang rode over and sat down on a chair to wait for Yin Ziqi's arrival.

Yin Ziqi rode alone to the meeting point in the middle of the two military formations under the gaze of nearly 400,000 people, jumped off his horse, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang get up, he arched his hand and said: "Zhao Dashuai!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and saluted back: "General Yin, it's been a long time, please take a seat!" ”

"Zhao Dashuai, please!"

The two sat down separately, Zhao Ziliang poured wine in the two cups respectively, and said: "Since General Yin is here, it means that your army has the sincerity to surrender, I am here, General Yin can put forward any conditions, we will discuss on the spot, I can fight, I can give a clear answer now, I can't call the shots, I will also propose to the court and the emperor, and try to meet without violating the principles." I would like to state our principled position first, if General Yin leads his troops to surrender, we will accept it with the greatest sincerity, but there is one premise: after your army surrenders, General Yin and the main generals under his command must be transferred, you can take up any position, but you cannot stay in the original army, this is the bottom line, no bargaining! Everything else can be discussed! ”

Yin Ziqi also knew that Zhao Ziliang was only afraid that he would not let him stay in the current army anymore, even if there were other people in the court, Zhao Ziliang would not be willing, he knew very well that Zhao Ziliang would not give him another chance to support the army and respect himself.

Yin Ziqi thought for a moment and asked, "How does the commander plan to settle me and the main generals under his command?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "With General Yin's talent, if you want to stay in the court, I can recommend to the emperor to let you be the right attendant of the military department, if you continue to serve in the army, I can recommend you to be the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu or the deputy envoy of Qianzhong Jiedu, my deputy envoy of Beiting Jiedu happens to be vacant, if General Yin is willing to go, I will wait for the vacant position!" As for the other major generals under General Yin's command, I can promise here that they will not be lower in positions after they are transferred, and that you will all be rewarded with titles and gold and silver goods! I treat General Yin with the greatest sincerity, and I hope that General Yin will treat me with the same sincerity. We will screen all the soldiers who surrender to Chengcheng, let some soldiers who are physically disabled, sick, frail and older and younger retire, let them go home with severance pay, and reorganize the strong men who remain, let them spare their efforts to quell the rebellion, wait for all the rebellions to be quelled, and the sergeants who are unwilling to join the army can choose to retire, and the imperial court will release the retirement resettlement fee to let them go home! ”

Yin Ziqi listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, stood up and hugged his fists after being silent for two minutes: "Okay, I believe in Zhao Dashuai's integrity, I am willing to accept all of Zhao Shuai's conditions, but I also hope that Zhao Shuai can fulfill your promise, if I can, I want to go to Qianzhong or Lingnan to take office!" ”

"I'll handle this!" Zhao Ziliang got up and hugged his fists.

Now that the two sides had reached an agreement on negotiations, Yin Ziqi returned to the army and gave the order to surrender, and all the rebel generals laid down their weapons and waited for the Tang soldiers to come and collect them, while they stood by in place. 8
