Several people under the mountain were Wen Qing and several guards in the palace.

After a while, Wen Qing and the others climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty, and took a few heavy breaths. Looking at the firelight in front of him, Wen Qing walked over quickly, saluted Guan Qing, and said with a smile: "Here is the prince's guest, and I am here today to congratulate the general." Congratulate? Guan Qing stroked his palms and laughed, walked to the big bluestone and sat down, and asked, "Congratulations to me what?" Congratulations to me for killing your 8,000 elite horsemen in a successful battle? Wen Qing suddenly spoke, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "This is indeed worth congratulating, but this is not what I am talking about next." "Listen up!".

Wen Qing motioned to the soldiers behind him to take out the gifts prepared in advance, took a document from the soldier's hand and handed it to Guan Qing, and then said: "General, please see, this is the document that the prince has just drafted, as long as the general is willing to lead the people to surrender, the prince will make you the former general of Guxi County, with a reward of 1,000 taels and 3,000 acres of good land." "What does the general think?"

Guan Qing was shocked, the former general; This official position is not small, the generals of Wang Cheng are divided into several ranks, the largest is the general, also known as the general or the chief general of the Chinese army; Next are the former generals, the rear generals, the left generals, the right generals; These four generals are divided into four generals of the army, this is a general with real power, unlike a miscellaneous general like Wang Xu, who has a letter in his hand, if there is no special order, he has no right to lead the army.

Although he was moved, Guan Qing had no intention of taking refuge in the world, since he had surrendered to Wang Xu, he should not have dissent from beginning to end. "Go back and tell the brute who killed his father and took the throne, tell him to wash his neck and wait for my sword."

"You" Wen Qing didn't know what to say, there were still people who didn't want to enjoy the glory and wealth, but they wanted to rush to be buried with the thief.

"Wait" Guan Hua stepped forward and pulled Guan Qing aside, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, why are you still so confused, since the prince has this intention, I think we might as well descend."

Guan Qing hurriedly said: "Big brother, I think you are confused, who is the son?" A man who is unfaithful and unfilial to kill his father and take the throne, how can I surrender to him? ”

"Shut up!".

Guan Hua said loudly: "I'm your eldest brother, you have to listen to me in this matter!" ”。

"You".

Wen Qing was overjoyed when he saw the two arguing, which showed that there was still hope for the matter, straightened his clothes, and said: "The two generals don't quarrel, and listen to me." "That Wang Xu is now a thief, and you can only die if you follow him; Do you want to rush to die for the thief? ”。

Guan Qing sneered again and again, and said, "Dare to ask my lord, what is a thief?" It's nothing more than a king or a loser; Are you so sure you can destroy us? ”。

"In today's battle, your army has 20,000 elite cavalry, which can be described as huge, but what is the result, it is not that we have beaten it and returned to the royal city."

Wen Qing is also really talented and learned, if you want to talk about lip service, you can't be all about it, thought about it, and said, "What is there to be happy about if you can defeat us?" Can you defeat the imperial army? After your Languan is the imperial capital; The million-strong army of the imperial court can come from morning to night; With just 30,000 of yours, will you not strike an egg on a stone and kill yourself? Guan Qing rolled his eyes, these things still need you to say, Lao Tzu already knew.

"What Master Wen said is very true, you go on to say" Guan Hua smiled, there is a lot of hatred for seeing each other, and the hero sees the same thing. Wen Qing leaned over to Guan Hua's body, and then said: "Everyone has parents, wives and children; If you rebel with that Wang Xu, then you will become a thief; How disappointed must your parents be? Your future sons will all be called thieves, how will they raise their heads and behave?"

"Don't say it".

Guan Qing waved his hand to stop Wen Qing

He fell into contemplation for a long time, Guan Qing suddenly realized, he bowed his head, not because the million army of the imperial court, in Guan Qing's heart, had already put life and death out of the way, even if it was 10 million, the big deal was death; But what Wen Qing said just now really hit his death hole.

Although loyalty is important, if you want to bear the charge of unfilial piety, the price is too great, although now their parents have been destined to return to Jiuquan, but if they know under the spring, how can they turn a blind eye?

Besides, once you become a thief, you can spare your life, but what about your future son? Do you also follow as a thief? Guan Qing knelt down on his knees towards the south and said loudly: "Lord, Guan Qing has failed you, if there is an afterlife, his subordinates will repay the lord's kindness."

After speaking, Guan Qing got up and saluted Wen Qing, and thanked him: "If it weren't for Mr. today's break, we would still be in the dark, and Mr. Lao will go back and tell the prince that we are willing to submit."

"That's right, I said I should surrender a long time ago" Guan Hua laughed, patted Guan Qing on the shoulder and said.

Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally surrendered, so this trip was not in vain. "The prince has an order, if you are willing to surrender, immediately lead the army down the mountain, the palace has already set up a banquet for the two generals, just wait for the two to be seated" Wen Qing said.

"Okay, adults first, we'll come later," Guan Hua responded.

The 5,000 soldiers under the command of the two were all the old troops of Tianyun Village, and it didn't take too much to say anything about the surrender, and Guan Hua agreed to all of them.

A quarter of an hour later.

Five thousand ambush soldiers withdrew from the valley and entered the royal city under Guan Qing's orders; At the same time as the 5,000 people withdrew from the valley, tens of thousands of elite horsemen roared out from the royal city, like a giant python in the night, through the valley to the south.

On the long official road, Li Zhi led 12,000 elite cavalry galloping across the country, oh, by the way, there are also Li Zhi's 3,000 deployments, a total of 15,000 cavalry; Although the three thousand men were not cavalry and their riding skills were not high, they could march as quickly as they could with three thousand horses; Originally, Li Zhi didn't want to bring his own deployment to the battle this time, but he couldn't withstand the repeated pleas of his subordinates, so he agreed.

Qin Shuang, the first brave general under Li Zhi, his martial arts are not much worse than Li Zhilai, and he is also Li Zhi's fellow countryman, and he has been his friend since he was a child. Have fun together, learn art together.

Qin Shuangqi followed behind Li Zhi and shouted loudly: "Big brother, why are you in such a hurry, get off the horse and rest, and hurry tomorrow."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Today's ambush in the valley defeated 20,000 elite horsemen in my royal city, this news is estimated to have reached Wang Xu's ears, he would never have thought that we could rush out of the valley and attack his military camp in such a short time; Therefore, the camp of Wang Xu's army tonight is the most lax; Our army can fight a certain war". Qin Shuang nodded approvingly and said, "Big brother is a good strategy, the rarest thing in a war is a fighter, and our army will definitely be able to make contributions tonight."

"The order is that the army must not stay, and must catch up with the enemy before dawn, and wait for Wang Xu to be eliminated, and then rest the horse."
