"Prime Minister, the brothers have settled down." This is already the third day in Yan'an City, Li Xin did not make any moves, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who followed him were more or less frostbitten, this kind of climate, not to mention in this era, even in later generations, frostbite is inevitable, even if there are military doctors following him.

"Well, this kind of attrition in battle is very serious. I'm afraid our plan to attack Diaoyin will not come true. Li Xin sighed slightly, the non-combat attrition has caused thousands of injuries, and Li Xin only has a few thousand people under him, and it is very difficult to attack Diaoyin.

"Prime Minister, this is the most appropriate time to attack Diaoyin, we can't just forget it." Cheng Yanjin and the others asked for help.

"It's easy to say, the brothers are already injured, and the road is closed by heavy snow, so forget it!" Li Xin was moved, but he still shook his head very resolutely and said: "We are waiting here, although Diao Yin is important, it cannot be filled with the lives of our brothers. The current Liang division is only two counties, and we still have a lot of opportunities. ”

"Yes." Cheng Yanjin sighed when he heard this. When I met such a prime minister, I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky.

"How is He Sui now?" Li Xin suddenly thought of the He Sui who was captured by him, and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm in prison." Cheng Yanjin's face was stunned, and he hurriedly said.

"Do you know who the warden of Diaoyin County is?" Li Xin suddenly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Cheng Yanjin and said, "I'm afraid you won't think of it!" He Sui's father-in-law is the three gentlemen of Diaoyin County. Hehe, I'm afraid that Liang Shi doesn't even know about this news. ”

"Is the prime minister trying to use He Sui to persuade Fan Sanjun to surrender?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but turn around and leave, and said, "Prime Minister, I will go and bring He Sui over later." ”

"No, take Gu to see him." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Although He Sui failed in this attack on Yan'an County, it was not his mistake. It's that we're so good that he fails, and this kind of thing can't be done by anyone. Li Xin said very complacently, he took the big gun, and under the escort of Cheng Yanjin, he came to the government prison.

When he arrived in the prison, he found that a cold had spread inside, Li Xin couldn't help frowning, and said to Cheng Yanjin: "Let someone get a cup of quilt." Get some wine and warm up General He Sui. ”

"Yes, I'll do it." Cheng Yanjin nodded and waved his hand, making people ready not to mention it.

"General Zhang, you and I meet again." He Sui's prison was a heavy torture cell, and he was now the only one left in the entire cell, and Li Xin was separated from the cell. looked at the middle-aged man inside, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Tang Wang?" He Sui looked at the man in front of him, the young man was a little excessive, and his face suddenly showed a bitter color. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he thought that he could follow Liang Shidu to make contributions, but he didn't expect that Yan'an County would change hands overnight. More than 10,000 troops easily attacked the city, and he himself became a prisoner.

"Come, serve wine to General Zhang. Warm and warm. Li Xin waved his hand, asked people to open the prison door, sent wine, and some mutton, and someone brought a brocade stool, Li Xin sat up, He Sui was stunned, and then sat down by himself, took the wine, and took a sip to drive away the cold on his body.

"The prime minister came to the cell in person, he didn't come to chat with the last general!" After He Sui felt a burst of warmth on his body, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he arched his hand.

"I heard that when General Zhang was young, his parents died at the hands of the Turks?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"Yes, the Turks are committing crimes every year, and the last general's parents died at the hands of the Turks." He Sui showed a trace of anger in his eyes, and finally sighed in a low voice: "Actually, I don't know how many people like the last general, in the border land, the Turks often violate the border, and there are countless casualties. ”

"But now, whether it is Liang Shidu or Li Yuan, or even Dou Jiande, they are very close to the Turks." Li Xin said indifferently: "The general doesn't have the slightest resentment in the hearts of the Turks? ”

"Is the prime minister trying to recruit the last general?" He Sui's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and finally he sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the prime minister will be disappointed, although the last general resents the Turks, but since he is a minister of Daliang, how can he betray Emperor Daliang." ”

"Hehe, you are loyal to Liang Shidu, but Liang Shidu doesn't think so, you are in charge of Yan'an County, and there is a person watching you by your side, he won't care about anything, but what if you add Diaoyin County?" Li Xin smiled and took out a piece of paper from his arms, Cheng Yanjin took it, handed it to He Sui, and said: "One of the two Weng sons-in-law is the county guard of Diaoyin County, and the other is the guard of Yan'an County. Only Liang Shidu of Shuofang and Diaoyin Counties, will you let your father-in-law take charge of Diaoyin County? ”

He Sui took the paper with both hands, and saw that everything was written on it, his name, hobbies, and even what he liked to eat was clearly remembered, and the paper in his hand trembled. It is conceivable that if this piece of paper is in the hands of Master Liang, it will not be said that he is unlucky, or even his father-in-law will be unlucky.

"The prime minister is really powerful, so many things, even the last general doesn't know, but the prime minister can check it so clearly." He Sui smiled wryly, threw the paper in his hand aside and said, "What does the prime minister need me to do?" He knew that according to his understanding of Liang Shidu, once Liang Shidu knew about this matter, not only would he be unlucky, but his father-in-law, his wife and children would be unlucky.

"The general doesn't have to look at this king with such eyes, what do you think of this king compared to Liang Shidu?" Li Xin looked at He Sui and said indifferently. If you want to conquer a person, not only to persecute the other party, but to make the person willing to surrender to himself, He Sui is a general, will affect his own general, and even help himself occupy Diaoyin County, Li Xin needs to make him completely surrender to himself.

"The prime minister is like the sun across the sky, and the Liang master is like a small grass, which cannot be compared at all." He Sui said without thinking. Li Xinneng started from scratch and achieved great things, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, millions of people, Liang Shi only occupied two counties, and also took refuge in the Turks, even if He Sui was in charge of Liang Shidu, he did not dare to quibble in this regard.

"How does this king treat the people?" Li Xin asked with a smile again.

"Under the rule of the prime minister, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the families have their own fields, and the people under the command of Liang Shidu are precarious, living in poverty, which cannot be compared." He Sui said again.

"In that case, what is the general waiting for?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"The last general will meet the prime minister." He Sui thought about it, and finally took a deep breath and knelt down.

"Okay, good, this king has General Zhang, like a tiger with wings." Seeing this, Li Xin immediately laughed, and getting He Sui meant that Diaoyin had already started, no matter what Fan Sanjun thought, he would definitely think about his daughter and son-in-law, and Diaoyin County was about to fall into his hands.

"The last general is ashamed." He Sui smiled bitterly.

"Does the general know what the next task is?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"The last general is willing to surrender Eagle Yin County." He Sui said without thinking.

"Okay, this king is waiting for your good news in Yan'an." Li Xin laughed, wasn't it just for the sake of Diaoyin County? As long as Diaoyin County is in hand, no matter how powerful the Liang Division is next year, there is only one Shuofang County in his hands, and he is not his opponent at all.

"The first Rong Mo will clean up and go to Diaoyin County." He Sui hurriedly said.

"That's very good." Li Xin nodded, and pulled He Sui out of prison.

In the afternoon of the same day, He Sui left Yan'an County and headed towards Diaoyin County. On the city wall, Li Xin and the generals personally saw him off, but Cheng Biting Jin was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, looking at the back of the distant heat, he couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, what if this guy sneaks out and won't come?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their faces also showed complicated colors, and they secretly put themselves in that position, thinking about what they should do when they encountered this situation.

"No, as long as you are a smart person, you know what the current situation is? One is the powerful Great Sui, and the other is the declining Liang Shidu, only a fool will die for Liang Shidu. Li Xin shook his head and said: "What's more, if he really returns to Liang Shidu's arms again, Liang Shidu probably won't dare to use him, but there will be a possibility of being killed." Liang Shidu lost Yan'an County and Honghua County, which is equivalent to losing the chance to survive, and under the anger, He Sui will definitely die, He Sui is a smart person, and he will not know this truth. Wait! It will never be more than ten days, and there will be good news. ”

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Yining, Li Xin's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was spent in Diaoyin County, not only Cheng Biting Jin and others from Yan'an County, but also Du Ruhan and others from Honghua City also came, and Fan Sanjun, the county guard stationed in Diaoyin County, changed his banner and officially submitted to Tang King Li Xin under the persuasion of his son-in-law He Sui, and since then Li Xin has completely occupied the three counties of Honghua, Yan'an, and Diaoyin under Liang Shidu, and the strength of Liang Shidu is only one Shuofang County. It can be said that Li Xin has completely gained the upper hand in the war against Liang Shidu.

When the news reached Chang'an, the whole Chang'an was boiling. Not only did he sneak attack Honghua and defeat Liang Luoren, but he also went to Yan'an on a snowy night, and finally persuaded He Sui to surrender and seize Diaoyin County, Li Xin gave full play to his military ability and Jinyiwei's intelligence ability, which was breathtaking, and in less than a month, he basically wiped out all the warlords. I believe that if it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the road, Li Xin would also take the opportunity to eliminate Liang Shidu in one fell swoop. No matter what, everyone in the world knows that the demise of Liang Shidu is a foregone conclusion. (To be continued......)
