"Marshal Geshu, now you have been defeated, and you have been defeated very badly! Not to mention anything else, just relying on the defeat of the current more than 10,000 remnants of Tongguan will not be able to hold the pass no matter what, it is better to ask Emperor Dayan to surrender," Huoba Guiren was of course not surprised by Ge Shuhan's surprise, and said without hurry: "It is a matter of time before Emperor Dayan seizes the world, if you surrender to Tongguan, they will definitely not treat you badly, there will definitely be high-ranking officials like you waiting for you now, and they will not treat us who follow you badly......"

"King Yanshan, Tongguan is in danger, how can you talk about such a thing!" Ge Shuhan had a cold face and interrupted Huoba Guiren's words, "Now that our army is newly defeated, and the army's spirit is unstable, you must not have this thought......

"No!" Huoba Guiren also interrupted Ge Shuhan's words, and roared angrily: "Marshal, your 200,000 army is almost wiped out, do you think the imperial court will let you go?" Do you still want to follow the fate of Changqing and Gao Xianzhi? Even if you still want to serve the Tang Dynasty again, will the emperor and Yang Guozhong, the traitor, let you go? The fate of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi is also your final ending!"

As soon as he heard Huo Ba Guiren talk about Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan's momentum suddenly leaked.

This is also one of the things he worries and fears the most, and he had this concern before the defeat. He has always been afraid that he would not obey the orders of the imperial court, and his behavior of not going out to fight was accused and convicted by some people in the court, and he ended up with the same fate as Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi.

He knew that Prime Minister Yang Guozhong had always wanted to deal with him, and Du Qianyun's troops were also wary of him, and his generals Wang Sili and Pang Zhong had long advised him to take measures to trap Yang Guozhong to get rid of future troubles, but he refused on the grounds that this behavior was equivalent to An Lushan's rebellion.

Now that the army is defeated, Yang Guozhong has more reason to deal with him, and even put him to death, and it is justified. The Emperor must be furious, and will not spare him. If he loses Tongguan, then the responsibility will be even greater, and it is possible to be beheaded all over the house. With the remnants of the defeated army in his hands now, it is too difficult to hold Tongguan, even if he can work together, it is impossible unless the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive immediately.

Surrender An Lushan? With his reputation for so many years, if he surrendered, An Lushan should not treat him badly, even if he designed the imperial court to get rid of An Lushan's clan brothers An Sishun and An Yuanzhen, this is the case, and the words of Huo Turen made Ge Shuhan a little moved!

But if he really wanted to make up his mind immediately to betray the Tang Dynasty, which had been loyal to him for decades, he couldn't make up his mind.

Also, many of his family members are still in Chang'an, if he returns to An Lushan, the family will definitely suffer!

No, he must not listen to the words of Huoba Guiren, not to mention that his family will suffer, and his reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop!

But the defeat he suffered was definitely not tolerated by Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu and others, and these people would also put him to death? What to do?

Huo Ba Guiren could see from Ge Shuhan's hesitant expression that the veteran was a little moved by his demagogy, and continued to persuade: "Marshal, do you also know how Yang Guozhong's traitor dealt with you? In order to get rid of the people he hated, that traitor designed to get rid of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, two generals who had made outstanding military exploits for the imperial court, and you were also a person he couldn't tolerate. You must also know that when the imperial court granted you the same peace and regulations, he strongly opposed it! You are leading the army in Tongguan, he is guarding against you in the back, and even wants to take the opportunity to stab you, if you don't perceive the opportunity and design to get rid of Du Qianyun, maybe you have been beheaded by someone to apologize to the world! The Tang Dynasty court can't tolerate you, and it will definitely put you to death; And the Dayan Imperial Court will definitely be very happy with your invitation to surrender and will give you reuse, why should you kill yourself and implicate us brothers? ”

A deputy general of Huoba Guiren also immediately echoed: "Yes, marshal, what the king of Yanshan County said is reasonable, these remnants of the defeated troops who rely on Tongguan will not be able to hold the city, rather than being captured in embarrassment, it is better to surrender decently, then we will all be treated with courtesy!" I hope that the marshal will consider the life and death and future of those of us who have managed to recover a life in the chaotic army, as well as your own future and life!"

"Yes, marshal, we will definitely be treated with courtesy if we ask Emperor Dayan to surrender, we are not Han, we are just Hu people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty......"

"Marshal ......"

More people followed Huoba Guiren to persuade Geshuhan, asking Geshuhan to open the city and surrender to An Lushan!

Ge Shuhan, who was told by his subordinate generals, was in a panic that after shouting loudly to order his generals to stop yelling and let him think about it, he paced a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back. The trusted generals around him, Wang Sili, Pang Zhong and others were all sent to defend the city, and they couldn't even find anyone to talk to, Huoba Guiren was not his cronies, and he would definitely not just listen to Huoba Guiren and his subordinates, and obey them.

Huoba Guiren also waved his hand to stop his generals from continuing to speak, waiting for Geshuhan to make a decision, but he implied that his own soldiers should be prepared for the eventuality.

After pacing for more than a dozen laps, Ge Shuhan finally stopped, and also made up his mind, looked at Huoba Guiren and the others with very majestic eyes, and said almost word by word: "King Yanshan County, this commander can't agree to your invitation!" Ben Shuai didn't want to be a traitor, His Majesty the Emperor gave Ben Shuai the greatest trust, plus the same Ping Zhang to me and let me command the Tongguan soldiers and horses, I can't live up to Your Majesty's trust and trust! Ben Shuai will definitely live and die with Tongguan, and will never make a surrender and lose his temperament, don't say it again, today Ben Shuai will treat this incident as if this has not happened, and will not report it to the court, go back to defend the city, the rebels are likely to attack the city at dawn!"

Ge Shuhan's refusal disappointed Huo Ba Guiren, and he asked again unwillingly: "Marshal, Yang Guozhong's traitor is bent on putting you to death, and now that you have returned defeated, he will definitely not let you go, maybe the imperial court's edict to condemn you, remove you from office, and escort you back to Chang'an is already on the way, and you are willing to follow in the footsteps of Chang Qing and Gao Xianzhi?" ”

"King Yanshan County, Hugh has to say again, this commander does not allow you to talk nonsense and shake the morale of the army, otherwise you will be severely punished! If we don't retreat quickly and go back to defend the city, we must strictly prevent the rebels from attacking the city at dawn!" Geshuhan roared.

Ge Shuhan commanded the army for decades, experienced countless battles large and small, and the majesty forged by blood was very terrifying, and as soon as he gave such an order, many generals did not dare to say anything more, and quietly moved their steps, ready to retreat.

But Huoba Guiren is not an ordinary general, he is the leader of the Huoba tribe, his background is similar to that of Geshuhan, and he has gone through countless wars, and he was also named the king of Yanshan County by the imperial court, and the title is still above Geshuhan, even if Geshuhan reprimands him as a marshal, he is not very afraid, anyway, he has already made up his mind to surrender to the An Lushan rebels, and he glared at Geshuhan without giving in, and asked again: "Marshal Geshu really wants to go his own way and ignore the lives and future of our brothers?" Just for the sake of his own reputation, he wants to fight against the Great Yan Emperor to the end with less than 10,000 remnants of the army? ”

Ge Shuhan sensed the abnormality from Huoba Guiren's words, and did not answer Huoba Guiren's inquiry, but shouted loudly outward: "Come on, quickly take down this rebellious minister and thief who rebels against the army's heart, and wait for disposal!"

Seeing that Ge Shuhan was about to turn his face, Huo Tu Guiren did not show weakness, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to strike first! The four soldiers drew their swords, rushed to Goshuhan, and put them on his neck.

Guarding outside, more than a dozen personal soldiers who heard Ge Shuhan's order quickly rushed in, wanting to carry out the order, but they were cut down to the ground by the pro-soldiers who had been prepared for a long time. Huoba Quy Nhon and his generals rushed outside, subduing and killing the rest of Goshuhan's soldiers with great speed.

They moved very quickly, and they did not even make a big noise, and the sergeants patrolling the nearby city did not know about it.

After killing all the personal soldiers around Ge Shuhan, Huo Ba Guiren walked in front of Ge Shuhan, who was held hostage by his own soldiers with a knife and was extremely angry, and respectfully saluted: "Marshal Geshu, please forgive the last general's disrespect, the last general was also forced to make this decision, the last general is also for your good, the reason for this has been explained just now, and please ask the marshal to be wronged, and the last general will definitely make amends to you in the future!"

"Huo Ba Guiren, you dare to commit a crime and hold this commander hostage? Don't let go of Ben Shuai quickly, otherwise Ben Shuai won't spare you!" The kidnapped Ge Shuhan still did not lose his demeanor, and shouted majestically, "Do you think that with your orders, you can control Tongguan?" ”

But Huo Ba Guiren didn't care at all, and sipped his mouth and smiled, and said: "Marshal, don't make any more senseless protests, as long as you obey the general's request, no longer make useless resistance to the defeated generals of Natong Guancheng, ask Emperor Dayan to surrender, and give us brothers a way to live, then the general and these generals under him still respect the marshal!" The last general once again implores the marshal, please convey the order to order the soldiers to give up resistance, open all the gates, and welcome the Great Yan army into the city!"

"Impossible!" Ge Shuhan refused without thinking about it, "Huo Tu Guiren, it is impossible for Ben Shuai to accept your threat and do such a dishonest thing, Ben Shuai doesn't want to be ruined in one fell swoop!" But what Ge Shuhan said is no longer as imposing as just now!

"Marshal, you were originally the prince of Tuqishi, you surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, it is already out of order, we are all the same, why not descend to the Great Yan Emperor again? Where is the loss of moderation? The corners of Huoba Guiren's mouth showed a little contemptuous smile, "An Lushan will take the world, the combat strength of the official army of the Tang Dynasty is too poor, how can it resist the attack of the Great Yan army?" Please also ask the marshal to stop ignoring reality and making useless protests!"

Huo Ba Guiren said, no longer paying attention to Ge Shuhan's angry scolding, but shouted loudly: "Take the marshal out of the camp, go to the south gate, immediately pass the marshal's order, and let the generals go to the south gate to discuss matters!"

Ge Shuhan's toughness made Huo Ba Guiren change his original mind, he wanted to blackmail Ge Shuhan to order the generals, and in the name of Ge Shuhan, he ordered the generals to go to the south gate to discuss matters, and control the other generals.
