Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yang Hong Returns

Liu Xun left with 10,000 soldiers, leaving only 5,000 soldiers and six gods without a master, and staying in place in fear.

Several Lujiang generals surrounded Yang Hong and asked worriedly, "Yang Changshi, do we really want to stay here to resist Jinfan?" ”

"Of course...... No! Yang Hong sneered, "Liu Xun is finished, does he think that he can keep Wancheng by returning with 10,000 troops now?" He is too naΓ―ve, there are only 3,000 soldiers in Anhui City, how long can he hold out under the charge of 20,000 troops? What's more, even if Wancheng hadn't been lost when he arrived, could he beat 20,000 wolf-like hidden mountain people with his 10,000 tired army? ”

"What does Yang Changshi mean ......"

"Liu Xun's downfall is imminent, and we should also plan our own way out." Yang Hong said lightly, "Now even the Qianshan people are attached to Jinfan, once Wancheng falls, the entire Huainan will fall under Jinfan's control, if we still go against the sky, we will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"So Fang Cai Yang Changshi deliberately proposed to lead the army to resist Jinfan, but it was actually for the sake of ......"

"Yes, taking the initiative to surrender to Cheng and being defeated and captured are completely two different concepts, Liu Xun's defeat is not far away, this is already the last chance!" Yang Hong looked around with cold eyes, "Now all the generals know Yang's purpose, I don't know if you plan to cut off Yang's head to invite Liu Xun for credit, or join Yang to join Jinfan to make a great cause?" ”

The generals looked at each other when they heard this, and it was obvious that Yang Hong was forcing them to make a choice.

After a long time, one of the generals took the lead in expressing his opinion: "Yang Changshi, as you said, taking the initiative to surrender and being defeated and captured are completely two different concepts, if we surrender now, I am afraid that we will immediately be infamous for disloyalty, and if we surrender after the defeat and capture, then everyone should have no way to accuse us of anything, right?" ”

"Take off your pants and fart, it's too much!" Yang Hong sneered with a cold face, "Ask your heart, if you want to surrender, if you don't want to, then you can immediately lead the troops out of the camp to fight with Jinfan; If you want to, then for the sake of your own false name, do you have to put the lives of your soldiers at risk? This is not the way to go! ”

"This ......" The general was scolded by Yang Hong, but he couldn't refute anything at all, because deep down, he really wanted to surrender Jinfan.

"That's it." At this time, a general sighed dejectedly, "What Yang Changshi said is extremely true, with the current situation, in fact, surrendering Jinfan is already our only way out, what is the point of continuing to resist in addition to adding casualties?" ”

Yang Hong glanced at the other generals again: "Do you think the same way?" ”

The generals looked at each other, nodded and said, "Everything is up to Yang Changshi!" ”

Yang Hong smiled: "In this case, you will go out of the camp with me to wait for the arrival of the new lord!" ”

―――――――――――――

When Wang Chong led 8,000 soldiers to arrive outside the Lujiang military camp, he found that there were 5,000 Lujiang soldiers neatly arranged in front, at that moment, the first thought that came to Wang Chong's mind was: I didn't expect this Liu Xun to really have a set, and in such a hurry, he could even think of leaving a group of soldiers to intercept my Jinfan's pursuit.

Wang Chong's face looked quite solemn, and in this way, a bloody battle would be inevitable.

But just as Wang Chong waved his hand and was about to attack, a person suddenly walked out of the front camp and shouted: "I wonder if General Annan still knows Yang?" ”

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he said tentatively: "It turned out to be Yang Changshi, what's the matter?" Yang Changshi led the troops to block here this time, didn't he want to buy time for Liu Xun? ”

"General Annan misunderstood!" Yang Hong shook his head and said, "Liu Xun's qi is exhausted, I have discussed with the officers and soldiers in the army, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we are willing to join Jinfan and put it under the command of General Annan, and ask General Annan to accept it!" ”

After that, Yang Hong knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Chong first.

"Please also ask General Annan to take it!!"

In the next second, the five thousand Lujiang soldiers all put down their weapons and bowed down in front of Wang Chong, which really scared Wang Chong.

The voluntary submission of the Lujiang soldiers was unexpected by Wang Chong, but after the shock, Wang Chong's heart swelled with a touch of ecstasy, after all, it was a major event worth celebrating to be able to collect 5,000 troops without spending a single soldier.

"Alright, let's all get up!"

"Thank you, lord!" At Wang Chong's signal, all the soldiers stood up, but they did not pick up the weapons on the ground, and this scene also made Wang Chong completely let down his guard.

"You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, my heart is very relieved, from now on, everyone will be Jinfan's brothers, as long as there is a bite of food for my Wang Chong, I will never let you starve, if one day I can't fulfill my oath, you can leave Jinfan, go straight away, my Wang Chong will never obstruct you!"

Wang Chong's sonorous and powerful guarantee instantly won the hearts of many people, you must know that most people in this era joined the army just to eat, so Wang Chong's guarantee is more down-to-earth and more exciting than those unrealistic oaths that let them enjoy glory and wealth, fine clothes and jade food.

Immediately, Wang Chong waved his hand, and the Jinfan soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward to collect all the weapons on the ground.

This is the unspoken rule on the battlefield, the new surrender must be confiscated, guarded collectively, waiting to be recruited, regardless of belief or distrust.

The soldiers of Lujiang consciously did not resist, and were re-escorted into the camp by the soldiers of Jinfan, all of which undoubtedly showed that these soldiers were completely sincere in wanting to attach themselves to Jinfan, rather than surrendering by fraud.

Wang Chongce stepped forward immediately, and Yang Hong hurriedly led his generals to greet him: "Yang Hong, meet the lord!" ”

"Yang Changshi doesn't need to be polite!" Wang Chong was still very satisfied with Yang Hong's performance, after all, if Yang Hong hadn't explained it earlier, in the face of Jinfan's actions at this moment, it would have been impossible for these Lujiang soldiers to behave so tamely.

"Ziquan!"

"The last general!"

Wang Chong pointed to Wang Shuang, who was out of the ranks, and said to Yang Hong: "Yang Changshi, the military situation is urgent, I will immediately lead the cavalry to pursue Liu Xun, and you will assist Ziquan to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to follow slowly. ”

Wang Shuang was injured by an arrow before, and after a few days of recuperation, although he has improved a lot, it is not suitable to work too hard, and the current situation just needs a reliable general to stay and command the troops and horses, Wang Chong naturally thought of Wang Shuang.

Yang Hong said worriedly: "Lord, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Xun's command, will it be ...... with these cavalry alone?"

Wang Chong smiled: "Don't worry, I went over this time, just to pick up the leak, maybe by the time I arrived with the army, the battle would have already ended!" ”

Yang Hong looked shocked: "...... say that"

"Ah, on the way back to Anhui City, in fact, there was already an ambush of my Jinfan!"
