Chapter 72: Please Surrender
Liu Ziqiu not only let Wei Chigong go, but also gave him a thousand-mile good horse from the Western Regions, this good horse is one out of ten thousand, not to mention that Yu Chigong didn't have it, even Liu Wu and Zhou couldn't pick a horse comparable to it, for a general, the war horse is his brother, his partner, his second life, seeing this horse being pulled out, not only Yu Chigong, but even Wen Hao's eyes were green
Wei Chigong was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed loudly: "It is true that Liu Ziqiu and you have brothers, but if you want to rely on a horse, you want to make a certain surrender, but you can't."
Wen Hao shouted angrily: "The bold fanatic dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty when he is dying."
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei Chi, you only tell me if you like this horse or not."
Wei Chigong was originally a cheerful person, and when he saw this good horse, if he didn't like it, it was fake, so he nodded seriously
Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Since you like you, what nonsense is it, Liu Wuzhou has been on the run for a long time, if you don't have this horse, you can catch up with them, Brother Wei Chi, although you insist on following Liu Wuzhou and I am the enemy, but I am still a good brother when you are a good brother, but everything can be done in one place, next time, if I am held by me again, I will not spare you."
Wei Chigong didn't say more, jumped on the good horse, arched his hand towards Liu Ziqiu, and said loudly: "Brother, thank you, if you fall into the hands of so-and-so, you will let you live."
War Horse Xi Yu let out a long roar, spread his four hooves, and disappeared in a blink of an eye
Wen Hao looked at the dust on the road and said hatefully: "Your Majesty, this person is strong in martial arts, and it will be a big disaster to let the tiger return to the mountain."
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Wen Hao people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced to do it, Wei Chigong is my brother like you, how can I hurt him, and I will come to lead my horse."
Ji Rentai had already led the black dragon horse over, Liu Ziqiu took the reins and handed them to Wen Hao, and said, "Brother Wen, this horse will be handed over to you in the future."
Wen Hao was shocked: "Your Majesty's war horse minister doesn't dare to ask for it"
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Wen Hao, you are not as good as Wei Chigong, and then I rarely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, this horse has been wronged with me."
……
The power of the BMW Liangju is really extraordinary, Wei Chi Gong galloped all the way until the next day, and finally caught up with Liu Wuzhou and others who fled in a hurry, this time they went south to attack Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou almost went out, did not want to suffer a crushing defeat under the city of Taiyuan, and the 200,000 army was left with only Song Jingang, Huang Ziying and more than 200 horsemen, of course, in the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu, Liu Wuzhou still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind, but these soldiers and horses alone were no longer enough to compete with Liu Ziqiu for the world, and even self-protection was difficult
For Liu Wuzhou, now is one more person and more strength, not to mention a fierce general like Wei Chigong, seeing Yu Chigong rushing over, Liu Wuzhou couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "General Wei Chi, it's good for you to come back, I'm still worried about you."
Wei Chigong was moved in his heart, turned over and bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "The last general is a common man, and he is loved by His Majesty."
Song Jingang suddenly frowned and said, "General Wei Chi didn't kill the enemy general and win this good horse."
Wei Chigong consciously had a clear conscience and said: "I can't hide that a certain person has fallen into the siege of the Han army, it was Liu Ziqiu who put a certain horse back, and this horse was also given by him, and Liu Ziqiu was originally a righteous brother, and His Majesty has long been clear about this matter."
Song Jingang wanted to say something more, but when he saw Liu Wuzhou, he waved his hand with a calm face and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and discuss what to do in the future."
Huang Ziying arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Ziqiu, since you have relieved the siege of Taiyuan, you will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the building directly, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so we should gather our soldiers and horses and stick to Yanmen."
Song Jingang shook his head and said: "There are only 20,000 people left in the three counties, even if all of them are concentrated in Yanmen City, how long can they be defended, and now there are only two ways to choose."
Liu Wuzhou has always trusted Song Jingang and asked repeatedly: "Which two roads?"
Song Jingang said loudly: "Since Wagang Zhai Rang defeated Zhang Xutuo and conquered Xingyang City, His Majesty can unite with Zhai Rang to fight against Liu Ziqiu."
Liu Wuzhou thought for a while and said: "It's not a good way to send people under the fence, what is the other way?"
Song Jingang glanced at Wei Chigong and gritted his teeth and said, "There is still one way but to surrender Liu Ziqiu."
Liu Wuzhou was silent for a long time, but still sighed and said: "At this time, it is too late, go to Lou Fucheng for a while, rest and recuperate, and then discuss it tomorrow."
Lou Fu City has suffered serious damage to the Ji Shi, Fenyang Palace was also looted, after Liu Wuzhou rebuilt the city, and gradually recovered some of the meteorological remnants of the city retreated into the city, there were already defending the city generals, and then arranged a banquet for Liu Wuzhou to suppress the shock, at the banquet, Liu Wuzhou made a look at Song Jingang, Song Jingang willingly, led everyone to Yu Chi Gong to take turns to persuade the wine, Wei Chi Gong was a good drinker, and he was drunk for a while
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yu Chigong's drunkenness, Liu Wuzhou and others repeatedly listened to what happened to Wei Chigong after being besieged by the Han army, and Wei Chigong had no selfishness, so naturally there was no flaw, but seeing that Yu Chigong was getting drunk, Liu Wuzhou had to let people help him down to rest
Huang Ziying stretched out his palm and made a downward gesture, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you kill him to get rid of future troubles"
Liu Wuzhou shook his head and said: "Liu Ziqiu let him come back, obviously to buy people's hearts, if I kill him, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, which will be inappropriate."
Song Jingang is the best at scheming, and suddenly smiled: "Liu Ziqiu has already accounted for three of the four parts of the world, but he hasn't done anything to us."
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Song Jingang had already given the answer himself: "Just because Liu Ziqiu is not stable internally, he doesn't dare to make a big move, Song heard that Liu Ziqiu only has a young son, and he is two years old, and the Han army seems to be strong, but in fact, it is all tied to Liu Ziqiu, if he can capture or remove Liu Ziqiu, the Han army will die."
I have to say that Song Jingang analyzed Liu Ziqiu's current situation very thoroughly, and Liu Ziqiu did occupy three-quarters of the Great Sui in a short period of time, but because his power spread too quickly, many officials, including some local army soldiers, could only retain the old people of the Great Sui, and these people's loyalty to Liu Ziqiu was not clear, and he still needed a period of time to stabilize and absorb
Liu Wuzhou sighed: "The Han army is extremely brave, Liu Ziqiu is surrounded by guards, how can it be so easy to capture."
Song Jingang sneered: "Your Majesty forgot that Yu Chigong is Liu Ziqiu's eldest brother, why don't you use Yu Chigong to lure out Liu Ziqiu"
……
After Liu Ziqiu's army lifted the siege of Taiyuan, it continued to go north, crossed the Fenshui, and arrived at the junction of Taiyuan County and Loufu County, Jiaocheng, just waiting for Liu Ziqiu to give an order, the army will kill and cross the border, and suddenly a team of men and horses came from the north, and one person was the black-faced man Wei Chi Gong
Countless scout troops had already been laid on the border, and Wen Hao personally led three thousand cavalry to rush over, and when he saw Wei Chigong, he couldn't help but be furious: "The thief will spare your life, and you dare to come and send you to death."
Wei Chigong arched his hand on the horse and laughed: "This general misunderstood, and he came to report on the order of the lord."
Wen Hao looked at Wei Chigong behind him, but there were only more than 100 horses, and it really didn't look like a big attack, so he "snorted" and said: "You come with so-and-so, and the others are waiting here."
Hearing that Wei Chigong was coming, Liu Ziqiu greeted him almost barefoot, grabbed his hand, and laughed: "Big brother, you are finally here"
Wei Chi Gong is also an understanding person, kneeling on one knee and saying loudly: "The minister Wei Chi Gong knocked on the orders of Your Majesty, and the ministers came on the orders of Liu Wuzhou, and were willing to raise the land of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu to surrender to Your Majesty, but there is a request that Your Majesty must go to Loufu City in person to surrender."
Li Jingwen said loudly: "Don't let Your Majesty's daughter make a mistake in person, and Chi Gong is a person sent by Liu Wuzhou, who should be beheaded."
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "You are all my brothers, I believe that Brother Wei Chi will never hurt me."
Wei Chigong hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely sincere, Liu Wuzhou saw the might of the Han army with his own eyes, and did not dare to resist, so he sent a certain person to ask for surrender, but he was afraid that His Majesty would surrender, so he invited His Majesty to go to Loufu City to surrender, and I hope that Your Majesty will pardon me regardless of previous suspicions."
It can be seen from Wei Chigong's face that it is full of sincerity, urgency and happiness, and indeed Wei Chigong was still in a dilemma before receiving the order that Liu Wuzhou sent him to ask for surrender, on the one hand, Liu Wuzhou had the grace of knowing him, he couldn't bear to betray him, on the other hand, Liu Ziqiu was his sworn brother, and the Han army was strong, and it was powerless to resist, and now Liu Wuzhou agreed to surrender, all of his difficulties disappeared, as long as he used his relationship with Liu Ziqiu to try to win some benefits for Liu Wuzhou
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Brother Wei Chi's words are trustworthy, so it is not too late, I will leave with you to Loufu City now."
Li Jing and Wen Hao were all shocked and said in unison: "Don't Liu Wuzhou, there must be a deception, please think twice."
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "With Brother Li and Brother Wen in charge of the three armies, what tricks can Liu Wuzhou play, rest assured that Brother Wei Chi will not collude with Liu Wuzhou to murder me."
Wei Chigong hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee with his life that Liu Wuzhou will definitely not be ambushed."
There are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Loufu City now, which is not enough to resist Liu Ziqiu's army, and Liu Wuzhou explained that he was very sincere when he came, and he didn't believe that Liu Wuzhou would do anything from it
