Chapter 46: Surrender
The candle has been extinguished, Xiao Siwen immediately thought of his daughter Xiao Yanyan and the rest of the family, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have married women, and the third daughter is still the one to be married, Xiao Siwen smiled bitterly, he has been thinking about the Wei King of the Song Kingdom for the past few days, he has indeed thought a lot, but he doesn't care about these, he feels that it is best to go with the flow.
He sighed and said in his heart: "Okay, personal blessings and disasters are small, rather than worrying and being afraid every day, it is better to plan early." ”
When the judgment continued to suffer from the chaos, Xiao Siwen had already thought about it at this time, and he still had ambitions in his heart, and in Youzhou City under his jurisdiction, the Han people, Khitans and other clansmen in the north were quite safe.
Xiao Siwen has been investigating Song Jun's every move in the past few days, originally he thought that the soldier should be like a soldier ruffian, but the Song Army governed the army in a good way, and Xiao Siwen was a little moved by his righteous act of not killing and surrendering at will.
After Xiao Siwen compared these with the Liao army, he secretly made a decision.
…… Xiao Siwen got up from the couch, he figured it out a little, he opened the curtain of the military tent and walked towards Huyanzan's tent.
Hu Yanzan was still in the military tent, and suddenly heard a sound outside the military tent, and the soldiers outside shouted: "Xiao Liushou is here." ”
Huyanzan immediately got up from the couch and walked outside the military tent.
"Xiao stays behind, this is?" Hu Yanzan looked at Xiao Siwen with a little meaning.
Xiao Siwen didn't expect Hu Yanzan to come out directly, and he didn't take off his clothes and armor in the middle of the night, so he glanced at him even more, and he said: "General Huyan has worked hard to recruit the Liao army in the past few days, I don't know if the old man can help?" ”
"What does Xiao mean by staying behind?" Hu Yanzan heard Xiao Siwen say this, and then he seemed to know what Xiao Siwen was going to say, and he was a little relieved when he thought about it.
Xiao Siwen said: "The old man has been thinking about it for a few days, but I have figured out some things. ”
Hu Yanzan was very happy, he didn't expect Xiao Siwen to come to his military camp tonight to join the Great Song Dynasty, he was very happy to accept Xiao Siwen, to Hu Yanzan's surprise, Xiao Siwen also planned to help him come forward to recover the Liao army that had not surrendered next.
Xiao Siwen's surrender allowed Huyanzan to better control all the Liao troops in the Black Stone Ridge, and also opened up a good situation for their next battle of Flying Fox.
After seeing Xiao Siwen walk out of his camp, Hu Yanzan immediately picked up the brush on the table, wrote a letter, and immediately ordered the scouts in the army to send it to Yizhou as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, the weather was very good, the sun was rising from the east little by little, the Cangshan Mangyuan was like undulating waves, and the Black Stone Ridge Fort was like a creeping tiger, staring intently at the mountains.
Early in the morning, Huyanzan and they began to trot around the playground, they were bare-chested, revealing their stiff chests and thick arms, and sweat slid down their faces, without affecting their pace in the slightest.
Although Xiao Siwen didn't sleep all night, his spirit was unusually good, his mind was also very relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on his face, after he took the towel from the sergeant's hand, he scrubbed his face and walked out of the camp with easy steps.
According to what Hu Yanzan said, Xiao Siwen has come to the Liao army camp tent that resists the Song army, Xiao Siwen has not yet walked to the camp tent, he heard the Liao army soldiers inside shouting and complaining and insulting the Song army outside, and the Song army in the camp tent is guarding around the camp tent, because of Hu Yanzan's orders, these Song army soldiers did a good job of holding back their angry temper, so they did not go in to do it, and they also knew the news that Xiao Siwen, the commander of the Liao army, planned to defect to the Song army.
Xiao Siwen has approached the camp tent, the Song army soldiers were about to salute when they saw Xiao Siwen coming, but Xiao Siwen waved his hand and refused, and then Xiao Siwen stood at the door of the camp and listened to the complaints and insults of his subordinates, the more Xiao Siwen listened, the more he couldn't bear the anger in his heart, he opened the cloth curtain of the camp tent, and then rushed in.
The Liao army in the camp heard a footstep and ran in, they immediately got up from the ground and the couch, and when they saw that it was Xiao Siwen, the commander of their first army, who came in, most of the faces of these Liao soldiers were surprised, and then they were full of joy.
"The last general has seen Xiao stay behind." At this time, a big man walked out of the crowd, and when he saw Xiao Siwen, he immediately bowed his hand.
"Xiao Xuanwu, what are you doing?" Xiao Xuanwu in Xiao Siwen's mouth is an account army of his subordinates, and he is also his own cronies, he knows Xiao Xuanwu's character as a soldier well, I am afraid that he must have a part of the Song army who did not surrender, as Xiao Siwen expected.
Xiao Xuanwu arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Xiao Liushou refers to?"
Xiao Siwen put his hands behind his back, he paced in the military tent, he glanced at everyone's faces, and suddenly said: "In the past few days, I have heard General Huyan of the Song State say that you have always refused to surrender to the Song army, and you are planning to gather people behind your back to make trouble, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"Xiao Liu, you have been under surveillance for the past few days, and the last general and others are very worried about your safety."
"Yes...... the rest of the soldiers said in unison.
"Enough. What are you doing? Xiao Siwen burst out with a nameless fire, and he pointed at Xiao Xuanwu and said, "Now that we are defeated, the Song army has not killed you and others, not because they are afraid of you, but because they want to recruit peace." Xiao Xuanwu, if you think about it carefully, what the imperial court has been doing all these years, what Yelu Jing is doing, they are just innocently killing and suppressing our Daliao people and officials with our hands, those who threaten Yelu Jing will become the unjust souls of his subordinates, as long as I think of this, I can't sleep, and I want to kill this dog emperor every moment in my heart......" When Xiao Siwen said, his face turned red, and then he said, "If you don't surrender to the Song army, the Song army will not spread the news of Heishiling, Naturally, I won't let you go, when we came out of Youzhou, we just came for food and grass, and your father and brother are waiting for you to go back, if you are like this, it will make my heart even more uneasy......"
The generals don't know why their boss said such a thing, they only know that they are loyal to the country, and the rest don't know anything, as for the emperor's inhumanity, they are used to seeing it, but today they heard some heartfelt words from their commander's mouth, among these people are Xiao Siwen's cronies, they feel that Xiao Siwen is going to surrender to the Song army, so they just stunned in place and did not speak.
Xiao Siwen felt that he didn't say anything about them, so he began to speak again, "Everyone, I am also thinking about your safety, most of you soldiers are family people, and your wives and concubines and children are waiting for your return at home, so for the sake of your family, you must not die, although they are still in Youzhou at the moment, but they are not under the surveillance of the imperial court, for you, surrender or not, your family is not in any danger, but what about me, I am the commander of the first army of the Liao Army, If I surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, what will happen to my family, even if the court does not pursue it, their lives are not under their control. I'm like this, why don't you make your own choice, what the Song army wants is not to kill, but to surrender, you are honest, your life will be saved, and you can still go to Youzhou to see your family in the future. ”
The soldiers listened to Xiao Siwen's words, their hearts fluctuated, they still have families in Youzhou, and the court will not do anything to their families, but what about Xiao Siwen, as he said, if Xiao Siwen said that he surrendered to the Song army, what will happen to his family in Youzhou City, and the cruelty of Liao Emperor Yelujing is also well known in the world, and the people are eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, so thinking of this, they are a little worried and sympathetic to Xiao Siwen's experience, but surrender is still difficult for them to say.
Xiao Siwen seems to have a kind of mirror that peeks into people's hearts, surrender is not a simple matter, no one will say it so easily, so Xiao Siwen plans to increase the fire and burn it, in his heart he also hopes that they are safe, and only taking refuge in the Song army is the best choice.
"Plop", to the surprise of the Liao soldiers present was that their commander Xiao Siwen knelt on the ground all of a sudden, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly froze, Xiao Siwen knelt like that, he said: "Everyone, you are all old men who have fought with me on the battlefield, Xiao Xuanwu, you have been with me for thirteen years, and you have killed a lot of people and won a lot of battles over the years, Li Mo, although you are a Han, but I Xiao Siwen also reuse you together, not to let your talent be buried, Yeluding, you are the Khitan royal family, your own uncle, Did the nephews die at the hands of Yelujing, you have always threatened to take revenge, but after so many years, have you succeeded, you have been enduring humiliation, staying in the army, that is, establishing military merits and waiting for opportunities, but now that we have become prisoners of the Song army, do you feel a little frustrated, in fact, you don't have to be like this, the Song army will help you avenge your hatred......" Xiao Siwen knelt on the ground for a cup of tea, during which Xiao Xuanwu wanted to pull him several times, but Xiao Siwen refused.
The more Xiao Siwen spoke, the more energetic he became, and many Liao soldiers had secretly begun to wipe their tears, and then there was a cry in the whole camp, and even Xiao Siwen himself was crying.
Outside the camp, those Song soldiers felt extremely strange, they couldn't believe that Xiao Siwen actually knelt down in person and begged his subordinates to surrender to the Song army, but now Xiao Siwen did this, these Song soldiers were also very moved when they heard it, fortunately, their own generals were also very fond of soldiers.
In the tent, all the soldiers also knelt down, and they shouted: "We listen to Xiao Liu, Xiao Liushou let us go east, we dare not go west."
After a long time, Xiao Siwen had already walked out of the tent, and Song Jun became more and more respectful after seeing Xiao Siwen, what they admired was a brave and resourceful, wise and wise person, Xiao Siwen was such a person they admired.
……
Hu Yanzan and the others already knew everything, and at noon, Xiao Siwen went with them to the playground in the Black Rock Ridge.
The audience was already full of Song army and Liao army, and the black pressure was all looking at the Song and Liao soldiers on the stage.
Huyanzan immediately said in a loud voice: "Today I am going to tell you a happy event. ”
Huyanzan paused, and then looked at the Song and Liao soldiers under the stand, "Congratulations to my Song and Liao soldiers for becoming one, in the future, you and I will fight for each other, regardless of the enemy, and fight together for honor, for the Great Song Dynasty, and for the people of the world." ”
Xiao Siwen on the side also said: "What General Huyan said is that there were all kinds of misunderstandings between us before, and now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will also join the battle of the Song army, if there is no objection, we can join today." ”
The Liao army in the audience looked at Xiao Siwen and had no objections.
