When the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Zhang Da glanced at the soldiers behind him with some guilt, then jumped off his horse, threw away his spear and said in a loud voice, "Zhang Da, the general of the Tang Dynasty, ask to meet the commander of your army." ”

The general led by the enemy was holding an eight-point steel spear, it was Wei Chi Gong, he heard Zhang Da's words, and immediately shouted, "It is Wei Chi Gong, the commander of the vanguard army of Dingyang Khan, what advice does General Zhang have?" ”

Zhang Da raised his hands high, raised his head and stepped forward and said, "It turns out that you are General Wei Chi, and you have the heart to belong to you, I wonder if General Wei Chi can give you a way to live?" ”

Wei Chigong didn't expect Zhang Da to surrender so quickly, so he omitted the procedure of persuading him to surrender, and immediately said, "If General Zhang is sincerely attached, Wei Chigong is infinitely welcome, if it is false."

Zhang Da no longer spoke, but proved his determination with actions.

Zhang Da slowly walked towards Wei Chigong, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten soldiers rushed to Zhang Da's side, and then tied him into zongzi with a rope; Zhang Da naturally has the consciousness of being a soldier, and he does not resist at the moment.

Wei Chi Gong looked at the 1,500 soldiers behind Zhang Da just now, looked at the various expressions on their faces, and immediately asked, "Is General Zhang attached to me alone, or is he with them?" ”

Zhang Da sighed, "I was forced to take refuge in the last resort, but I haven't discussed it with them yet." I wonder if General Wei Chi can open the net and let them turn around? ”

Wei Chigong shook his head and said, "Either you surrender or you die." ”

Zhang Da also realized that the soldiers who came here already knew too much, so he had to say loudly, "Li Yuanji has gone against the grain, and Taiyuan will not be protected sooner or later!" Brothers, you can only survive if you submit to General Wei Chi, and you are willing to throw down your weapons as soon as I surrender. ”

Before Zhang Da's voice fell, some people had already made the choice first, thinking that they could leave with the first move; But they didn't go far, and a thousand-strong team came to kill them from afar, and the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air could be heard from afar.

At one moment, arrows rained down, and the three or two hundred people who fled were instantly drowned in the rain of arrows, and none of them survived.

Of the 1,500 people led by Zhang Da, half of their homes were in Taiyuan, so they were very reluctant to surrender to Liu Wuzhou, after all, the surrender would affect their families, but most of them were still moving slowly.

When they were about to make a choice, they saw at a glance that the birds were dying; In desperation, most of them had to succumb to violence; The few who were still the same were naturally shot and killed in the local area.

Wei Chigong killed none of those who chose to escape, and even those who surrendered were temporarily tied up.

After doing all this, Wei Chigong loosened Zhang Da's tie, and then let him get back on the horse, and the two of them marched all the way north under the arch guard of more than ten personal guards.

There were many tents along the way, and Zhang Da followed Wei Chigong for more than a quarter of an hour, but he didn't reach the end.

The further north he went, the more frightened Zhang Da became, and he couldn't help but think, "Where are the thieves here, it's obviously Liu Wuzhou's strategy to delay the army, and their real intention is obviously to cover the main army."

These people did not attack Jinyang City from the Fenhe River valley in the north, but went as far as the south of Taiyuan.

There was nothing to say all the way, Wei Chigong took Zhang to the Chinese army's tent, and there was a person sitting in the big tent, it was Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang.

Beside Liu Wuzhou, sitting on the left and right are Song Jingang and Yuan Junzhang, these people Zhang Da has seen before.

In the past, Liu Wuzhou was the captain of Ma Yi's chariot and cavalry, and his official position was lower than Zhang Da, not to mention Song Jingang and Yuan Junzhang; But now

It's true, the hook thief punishes the thief of the country!

"General Wei Chi really lived up to his trust, please take a seat." Liu Wuzhou immediately stood up, beckoned Wei Chigong to sit down, and then looked at Zhang Dadao, "This must be Li Tang's chariot general Zhang Da, right?" ”

Zhang Da didn't know how to answer, Liu Wuzhou was not surprised to know him, but what did he mean by what he said to Wei Chigong?

After Wei Chigong sat down, he replied to Liu Wuzhou with a smile, "General Zhang was indeed Li Tang's chariot general an hour ago, but now he is not, he has already said that he wants to submit to you, the general." ”

"Oh, General Zhang's willingness to abandon the dark and turn to the light is really a wise move!" Liu Wuzhou nodded, turned to Zhang Dazan and said.

"General Liu, in fact, I have no choice but to surrender to honesty" Zhang Da was a little embarrassed by Liu Wuzhou's praise, so he had to tell his current situation, and added, "I have abandoned my wife and children, and there is no way back, I just want to slash Li Yuanji to vent the hatred in my heart." ”

Liu Wuzhou was a little surprised, nodded and said, "General Zhang can go and rest first, and I may put a burden on you when I turn around." ”

Liu Wuzhou's intention was obviously to give Zhang Da a reward, which was also a means to win over the generals, which is not surprising.

After Zhang Da was taken down, Liu Wuzhou said to Wei Chigong and the others, "Everyone, how credible do you think what Zhang Da said? Can we bet on him? Could his surrender be a bitter ploy? ”

Yuan Junzhang immediately shook his head and said, "Among the information collected so far, there is no news of Zhang Da and Li Yuanji falling out, but he also said just now that it has been a matter of the past few days, and it is understandable that our information has been delayed a little; However, Yu Wenxin has always been at odds with Li Yuanji, is it necessary for us to win him over? ”

"This is a good idea, Taiyuan is missing Yuwenxin, who else in the Tang army can lead the army to defend the city?" Liu Wuzhou was immediately overjoyed.

A few people were talking, but they heard a soldier outside hurrying over, and what they sent was the latest information about Jinyang City.

"Zhang Da really broke up with Li Yuanji, with him, it will be much easier to win Yu Wenxin." Liu Wuzhou only glanced at the information, and when he laughed, he hurriedly said, "Come on, go and invite General Zhang Dazhang to come."

That night, Jinyang City Yuwen Xin Fuzhong.

Yu Wenxin's gaze fell on the oil lamp on the table in front of him, his eyes flickered with the jumping flames, and he was silent; In front of him, a man sitting in black clothes, like a ghost from hell.

This black-clothed man is named Duan Ruo, who was originally Yu Wenxin's personal soldier, but later became Zhang Da's adjutant, and demoted Wei Chigong with him; This time, he secretly infiltrated Yuwenxin's mansion and came to persuade him to surrender.

Duan Ruo looked at Yuwen Xin and said slowly, "General Zhang asked me to tell General Yuwen that he would not surrender to Liu Wuzhou unless he had to, and he hoped that General Yuwen would forgive him for his choice. Li Yuanji's wolf ambition can be seen, why should the general fight Li Tang to the death? ”

A trace of guilt flashed on Yu Wenxin's face, Li Yuanji is sorry for Zhang Da, he knows; In this matter, he is even Li Yuanji's accomplice, if anyone is sorry for Zhang Da, he is at least one, right?

Duan Ruo looked at Yu Wenxin and seemed unmoved, so he had to stubbornly continue to persuade, "General, you have offended Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, according to his previous record of General Zhang, can he not settle accounts with you, General?" If he learns the news of General Zhang's surrender, will he send you to suppress the bandits? When the time comes, general, how will you choose? Will the remnants of Jinyang City be defeated and fight with Liu Wuzhou's army? Even if you win, the merit will certainly not be yours; But if you are unfortunate to lose, then you will definitely have to give Li Yuanji's kid the black pot. Li Yuanji has the intention of being unfavorable to the general, and this time he will inevitably not take the opportunity to retaliate. ”

"There is some truth in what you said, it's just me" Yu Wenxin let out a long sigh and shook his head heavily.

"Now that Li Tang is under enemy on all sides, Dingyang Tianzi has the support of the Turks and the Hebei army behind him, how can a rat like Li Yuanji hold Jinyang. Losing Taiyuan County, Hedong is naturally just around the corner, losing a rich place like Hedong, just relying on Guanzhong, how can Li Tang resist Dingyang Tianzi's Biansai Jingqi! Duan Ruo looked at Yu Wenxin as if he was relieved, and immediately became overjoyed and continued to speak hard.

Yu Wenxin still shook his head, "Okay, I don't blame you General Zhang Da for surrendering to Dingyang Army, and I understand his distress." It's just that I'm different from Zhang Da, he can surrender to Yang Tianzi, but I, Yu Wenxin, can't! ”

Duan Ruo asked puzzledly, "Why did the general say this?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Yu Wenxin finally said firmly, "Zhang Da's wife is gone, so he can surrender without scruples; But my Yuwen family is a wealthy family in Guanzhong, although Yu culture and this rebellion, but the Yuwen family has deep roots in Guanzhong, and Li Yuan can't say that he will turn his face. If I, Yuwenxin, surrender without a fight, the Yuwen family may not be implicated, but my family members may be affected by me, and surrender must not be done. You don't need to say much, you might as well go back and tell Zhang Da bluntly, just say that I, Yuwenxin, admit his feelings, but life and death on the battlefield depend on my ability, and I Yuwenxin will not be merciful when the time comes! ”

Duan Ruo immediately stood up, still not giving up and said, "Those who achieve great things will be sacrificed, after Li Yuan raised his army, didn't several of his children also be killed by the Yin World Master?" If the general's family knew your situation at the moment, they would probably be able to understand the general's abandonment of darkness and turning to the light? The general is the capital of the world's heroes, how can he be so fond of children? ”

Yu Wenxin also stood up, and retorted with a grim face, "If a person is ruthless, what is the difference between him and a beast?" You don't need to say much, go back and tell you Dingyang Khan clearly, I will not make a surrender! Moreover, your tactical intentions are now exposed, so let them do what they want! If you keep nagging, don't blame me for not remembering the old love! ”

Duan Ruo was unable to do anything until this time, so he had to get up and leave, until he flashed into the night, and then slowly left a few words, "What a loyal word!" I hope the general will not regret today's mistake! ”

Yu Wenxin watched his former subordinates return abruptly, and wanted to say something more, but finally sighed and didn't say a word.
