Beneath the hillside near dusk, Yuan Taizuo was covered in blood-soaked armor. Standing there alone. In the light of dusk, a battle flag clenched tightly in his hands fluttered lonely.

On the banner, the golden tiger opened its mouth as if it were roaring silently.

This is the totem flag of the Yuan clan, but also the battle flag of the Northeast Army of Yuan Taidi, in the past ten years, under the fluttering of this battle flag, he has been a young general, conquered Liaodong and Liaoxi for many years, fought countless victories, and finally became the commander of the Northeast Army.

Once upon a time, as long as this battle flag fluttered, countless warriors would gather under his banner, charging into battle, even if they died. But now, the banner is still there, but his warriors have lowered their heads and dropped the swords in their hands.

Those Goguryeo soldiers who had completely given up one by one, when they saw this scene, they all turned back one step at a time, and some of them actually shed tears.

Yuan Tai Di didn't shout again, didn't give any more orders, just stood there alone, watching all his soldiers being escorted away. In the end, he pounced, knelt on one knee, and held the battle flag with his hand, so that he did not fall. At this moment, his heart was choking, and the man who had always pretended to be like a tiger finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Li Benlei did not order Yuan Taifu to be taken prisoner, but just surrounded him and sent someone to inform Chen Kefu.

When Chen Kefu came with someone, Yuan Taifu still knelt there on one knee silently, and his figure was indescribably lonely.

With the steps of a victor, Chen Kefu walked in front of him with a smile on his face.

"What, have you figured out that you want to surrender to Ben Shuai?"

Yuan Tai didn't raise his head, but he still maintained his posture.

Chen Kefu smiled, "Becoming a king and defeating a coward", there was nothing to say. I think you Yuan Taidi is also a general who commands the army, can't you even understand victory or defeat? Defeat is defeat, victory is victory, if you can't even see through this, Ben Shuai really looked down on you before. ”

"You're just a lucky invitation, it's just a fluke, if you do it again, maybe the deer will die!" Yuan Taiyu slowly raised his head and said coldly.

"Presumptuous, the general of the defeated army" How can he be brave! Lao Tzu told you, it is your honor to lose in the hands of my handsome! Since the marshal of my family set foot in Liaodong, he first defeated Gao Qi, then defeated Yizhi Wende, and then defeated Gao Jianwu, Gao Yannian, Gao Zhen, and defeated you Yuan Taidi again this time, invincible, invincible. No matter how crazy you are, can you be more powerful than Eulji Wende and Gao Jianwu, the god of war, who are known as the god of the Goguryeo army? They are all defeated at the hands of my family's marshal, and your defeat has only improved your reputation. Zhang Jin shouted on the side.

It was the first time that Yuan Taidi had heard these things: "Since the Sui army crossed the Liao River, all mountain cities have long been fortified and clear, sticking to the mountain cities. For months, they had no idea what was going on outside. Even if a scout was sent several times to spy on the battle situation, he would immediately be surrounded and annihilated by the reconnaissance troops sent by the Sui army from afar.

"You said that you defeated Zigao Zhen and Gao Yannian, two reckless men, I believe" But you said that you defeated King Rongliu and General Yizhi? Do you think I'm going to believe it? ”

"Believe it or not, anyway, what does it do to me if you believe it or not, you are the only one left of your 80,000 people. Your brother Yuan Pure Land refused to surrender and was already killed in battle. Your uncle Yuan Gaitong has surrendered, and your 80,000 horses will surrender to death. I'm giving you a chance now to surrender! ”

When Yuan Taidi heard that his brother was also dead, he glared at Chen Kefu, and didn't say anything more, "You kill me, I won't surrender to you, and then be escorted back to the Central Plains by you as a slave." I am a great nobleman of Goguryeo, even if I die, I have to die with dignity. ”

Chen Kefu took two steps forward, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Gao Qi has lowered my Great Sui, and now he is my Great Sui's return to the waiting" to enjoy the glory. If you don't want to submit to my Great Sui, it doesn't matter, I heard that the last expedition to Liao, "I have many soldiers in the Great Sui who were captured by you?" Is there such a thing? ”

"That's right, there are still tens of thousands of Sui slaves in the manors in the northeast of my tribe."

"Well, I'll give you a chance to allow Goguryeo to ransom you with all the captured soldiers of my Great Sui." Chen Kefu said softly, and did not let others hear it.

Yuan Taigu raised his head suddenly, "What you said is true?" "For him, it would be best if he could save himself by exchanging prisoners of war.

"Ben Shuai did what he said, and now you choose to die in battle? Or towards the surrender of the marshal? ”,

Yuan Taidi's face was swollen and red, and he held it for a long time before saying, "I surrender!" It had never been someone else who said it to him, but this time it was his turn to say it to someone for the first time. After saying that he surrendered, Yuan Taifu sat down stubbornly on the ground as if he had lost hún.

"Since you choose to surrender, then present your battle flag to Ben Shuai, and then your sword and handsome seal will also be presented!" Chen Kefu was condescending, with a spring breeze on his face.

The sky at dusk, yīn is dull and dim.

Chen Kefu was dressed in battle armor, standing proudly, behind him, all the officers above the battalion level who went out to fight. Stand in two columns. On all sides, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers and people gathered there one by one to watch the surrender ceremony of the Yuan Taidi.

With the opportunity to return to Goguryeo, Yuan Taigu no longer insisted on too much personal honor. At the request of the Sui army, he knelt on his knees, dragged the golden tiger flag with both hands, walked a hundred steps on his knees step by step, came to Chen Kefu, lowered his high head, and presented his military flag to the victors of the Great Sui.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Goguryeo captives were also escorted here, watching their former invincible commander surrender and lay the flag at close range. One by one, the soldiers of the Liao army, looking at the former noble young patriarch of the Yuan clan, the son of the great pair of Lu, and the commander of the Northeast, now they are kneeling on their knees, moving forward step by step, everyone is dazed, and they are unspeakably sad in their hearts. The sharp edge that has been accumulated because of victory after victory, and the deep pride that has left them little by little.

The three generals can't win the commandery, the soldiers don't win the heart, these tens of thousands of Liao people, even if they can go to the battlefield again in the future, I'm afraid that a large part of them will never have that kind of sharpness than lù anymore.

Chen Kefu's mood was also very moved at this time, opposite was a veteran who owned several cities and tens of thousands of soldiers, but he was not the kind of prince of Gao Qi who would only enjoy. Gao Qi surrendered to him, and he didn't feel the slightest movement. But Yuan Taidi's surrender to him made his heart very moved.

"Hahaha. Chen Kefu laughed heroically a few times, stretched out a middle hand and took the flag very casually, took it in his hand and looked at it casually, threw it on the ground on the side, and said to Zhang Jin, "I will bring this flag back in a while, and in the future, we will build a special honor room in the headquarters to store the enemy battle flags that we have captured after winning the battle." Well, this big yellow cat looks good, and it will be our collection in the future, so don't lose it. ”

"General Chen, this is the Golden Tiger Banner in the northeast, not the Yellow Sè Big Cat Banner, although you have won the victory on the battlefield, but you can't insult your opponent like this." When Yuan Taidi heard that Chen Kefu actually called their Golden Tiger Banner the Yellow Sè Big Cat Flag, his face was almost purple with anger. Although he said to himself that in order to return to Goguryeo, it was necessary to bear the burden of humiliation for the time being, but the personal insult to him made him surrender on his knees, and he accepted it. But Chen Kefu's insult to the battle flag made him unacceptable.

Chen Kefu sneered, "You call him the Golden Tiger Banner, but now this flag is already a collection of my Northeast Army." We love to call him Huang Sè Big Cat Flag, just call him Huang Sè Big Cat Flag, you have no right to interfere! ”

"You" Yuan Tai almost didn't catch his breath, Chen Kefu's words were too hurtful.

It's just that after finally restraining himself from wanting to strangle the person in front of him, he also understands that now he is a fish inside, a knife man, basically people want to pinch the circle, and he is also pinched flat, and he is powerless to resist at all. Well, at this point, Yuan Taiyu sighed, stopped talking, untied the saber at his waist, and held his hands above his head.

Chen Kefu took the knife, it was a big Sui ring knife, which was similar to the horizontal knife. But at the end of the handle is a ring, and there is a tiger in the middle of the ring. The entire hilt is also inlaid with gemstones, and the scabbard is inlaid with gold and silver gems, which is indescribably gorgeous.

Such a knife is definitely expensive.

After a few strokes of the casual unsheathed knife, Chen Kefu threw it aside, "Flashy and real, good-looking is good-looking, after all, it is not easy to cross the knife simply and directly, Zhang Jin, this knife will also be put in our honor room, and when the class teacher triumphs in the future, Ben Shuai will personally dedicate it to His Majesty!" ”

In the end, Yuan Taidi took out the handsome seal he carried with him and handed it to Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu took the handsome seal with a smile, with a malicious smile on his face.

, "Goguryeo Buyeo Dao Commander Yuan Tai Gu asked Chen Dashuai of the Great Sui Northeast Army to surrender!" According to the rules, Yuan Taiyu had to say the words of surrender according to the procedure in the end.

"On behalf of His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, Ben Shuai accepts your surrender!" Chen Kefu said loudly.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Great Sui! The Great General is mighty! ”

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Great Sui! The Great General is mighty! ”

The soldiers of the Sui army around him, led by those officers, shouted like an earth-shattering shout, for many soldiers, after a big battle, they can still become the victor after not dying in battle. What follows is naturally the moment of rewarding meritorious deeds and getting promoted to become rich, and what makes them happier than this. At the thought of being promoted and making a fortune, tens of thousands of soldiers were even more enthusiastic, constantly raising the blades in their hands, and the green tendons on their necks were rising, and they refused to stop.

In the valley at dusk, there was no half of sunshine for a long time, on the one hand, the soldiers of the Sui army were shouting and celebrating, and on the other hand, the Goguryeo Northeast Coalition Army was bowing their heads and faces dazed.

I haven't asked for a commuter pass for a few days, so don't forget it."
