Deng Ai didn't know what the reason was, but he still replied very seriously, "The strength of the Celestial Empire far surpasses that of other countries, and it is extremely powerful. ”

"Okay, then I'm here to ask you, Wang Shang's army was defeated, General Cao Ren's army was defeated, and now what is the strength of our Wei State?"

"Hey." Deng Ai sighed, "Although the king has unparalleled wisdom, but when he encounters a more powerful Celestial Empire, I am afraid that this time our Wei Kingdom will be more auspicious." ”

Seeing that Deng Ai could see the situation very clearly, Cai Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and if I continue to fight like this, I will just give my life in vain, and it will not play any role in the overall situation at all." That is the case, it is better to lie down and taste the guts. ”

As soon as the four words came out, Deng Ai's face changed greatly, what a smart person he was, how could he not know the allusion and meaning of this sentence.

Cai Yang, who had been paying attention to Deng Ai, found that the other party's face had changed, so he hurriedly explained, "General Deng, that's the case, we didn't really surrender, but the situation forced us to do so, once we find the news of where the king is, at that time, we can look for the king in the Celestial Empire, which is also the best way to preserve our strength at present." ”

What Cai Yang said was high-sounding, but he was afraid that he couldn't even believe these words. Not to mention whether the strength of their subordinates will be disrupted after they surrender to the Celestial Empire, and how many people can listen to themselves, let's just say that with the treatment and benefits given to the generals by the Celestial Empire, once it passes, will they really rebel again?

In the final analysis, Cai Yang just wanted to persuade Deng Ai to make the same choice as himself, which was to find a decent excuse for his surrender.

Deng Ai originally thought that Cai Yang had been in the Wei State for many years, even if he was afraid of death and timid, he still had basic loyalty. But after listening to this, he realized that he thought too highly of the other party, this person had no downline and discipline at all, and he did everything for his own life.

Deng Ai couldn't imagine how Cai Yang could be such a person, he didn't even have a little backbone, at this moment he really wanted to kill the person in front of him with a knife, but when his eyes noticed that there were soldiers moving around outside the tent, he woke up, and when he thought of what Cai Yang and his generals didn't know what to say just now, he suddenly thought in surprise, I am afraid that Cai Yang has already had the intention of surrendering, and it is likely that there is still a move.

Deng Ai, who secretly hated himself for being defenseless, was spinning very quickly in his mind, and at the moment he was thinking about one thing, how to turn the situation around.

"General Deng, what do you mean?" Seeing that Deng Ai still didn't speak for a long time, Cai Yang asked a little anxiously, he had already thought that this person cooperated with nature and everything was easy to say, if he didn't cooperate, then he would have to kill, in short, whoever stood in his way of life was his enemy.

Cai Yang's body has already revealed a trace of murderous aura, obviously he has been a little impatient at this time, Deng Ai also knows that he has to make a decision, otherwise, it is likely that the other party will make the first move, so defenseless he and his subordinates are not very disadvantaged?

"This, let me think about it, in fact, it is not unreasonable to say that General Cai's statement is unreasonable, after all, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Deng Ai said something to appease Cai Yang, and at the same time, his eyes unintentionally looked at the long sword placed in the tent, and his footsteps slowly moved away.

Cai Yang didn't pay attention to this, but a look of joy appeared on his face, it seemed that Deng Ai was going to agree, so of course it was good.

Outside the Wei army's big tent, Cai Yang's lieutenant general has already controlled the situation here, not only arrested some of Deng Ai's diehard loyalists, but also sent people to negotiate peace with Lu Bu, which is also the lieutenant general's own cleverness, thinking about doing everything well, so as soon as General Cai Yang came out, wouldn't he be very happy?

The envoy sent by Cai Yang told the general that he intended to surrender, and then stood there waiting for the arrival.

If it weren't for the good reputation of the Celestial Empire's army and the fact that they never killed the envoys, I'm afraid that this person would not have the courage to appear here.

Lu Bu, who was sitting high in the tent, looked at this Wei army messenger, and was a little puzzled, it is said that the other party has another 100,000 reinforcements, if it is used properly, it can fight with himself, but why do you have to surrender?

It's just that no matter what, it is naturally an excellent thing to be able to take down the Wei army without bloodshed, and as for whether the other party surrendered by fraud, he didn't think about it at all, once his army entered the enemy camp, what if it was a fraudulent surrender?

"General Taishi, what do you think?" Lu Bu set his eyes on Tai Shici, the commander of the Third Army Corps, and asked.

"General Lu, of course this is a good thing, even if the other party intends to surrender, it is his own person. When we get back, we will also report to the emperor to know the merits of General Cai Yang, and it will naturally be beneficial when the time comes. Tai Shi Ci smiled, he also had the same mind as Lu Bu, and it was also what he pursued to win at the lowest cost, and as for whether the other party still had any other preparations, it didn't matter, facing the extremely strong vanguard and the three legions, but the 150,000 Wei army, there was no wave at all.

"Okay, that's the case, there is also the messenger of Lao to lead the way, you can rest assured, but we will not treat anyone who sincerely surrenders to the Celestial Empire." Lu Bu was afraid that the messenger would not use all his strength, so he deliberately emphasized it.

Hearing that there was a benefit, the messenger was already overjoyed, and immediately hugged his fists at Lu Bu and Tai Shici and said, "Don't dare to say that there is work, all this is what subordinates should do." At this moment, he already regarded himself as a soldier of the Celestial Empire.

The messenger led the way, Lu Bu and Tai Shici left the camp and led the army forward, all the way, sure enough, the thistles thrown on the ground were picked up, and it seemed that the other party was really sincere in surrendering.

In the big tent of the Wei army, Deng Ai first spoke to stabilize Cai Yang, and then thought about it, in fact, he had already come to the side of the sword, and then he suddenly pulled out the sword and turned around to stab.

Deng Ai's movements were very fast, somewhat unexpected to Cai Yang, and if he didn't check for a while, the sword was in the middle of the ribs, and it was suddenly full of blood.

"Deng Ai, what do you mean by this?" Holding the bleeding wound with his left hand, and pulling out the short sword on his body with his right hand, Cai Yang asked angrily.

"What do I mean? Of course, it's a villain like you, I want the king to treat us like a mountain, and now that we have lost power, you don't want to repay the favor, but also want to step on it, let me ask you, is your heart still long? Deng Ai saw that Cai Yang was injured, and his momentum suddenly soared.

Originally, Cai Yang still wanted to pull Deng Ai to surrender to the Celestial Empire army together, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn, and he killed himself, he was very angry at the moment, so he yelled outside the tent, "Come on, take Deng Ai down for me." ”

As soon as the voice came out, several soldiers rushed in outside the tent, and after they heard Cai Yang's words, they surrounded Deng Ai.

Seeing that these soldiers were all blind, Deng Ai knew that his own soldiers were afraid that they had all been plotted, and he had now fallen into the tiger's mouth. But even so, he was still not afraid, but wanted to continue to persuade these soldiers, he said: "Brothers, we are all soldiers of Wei, holding Wei's Yulu, but now Cai Yang is indeed for his own selfishness, and wants to surrender to the enemy, you say, what should we do next?" ”

As soon as Deng Ai's words fell, the faces of several soldiers who rushed in became ugly, and even the swords and guns in their hands were a little weak and drooping.

Cai Yang saw that the situation was a little bad, and his face changed, and he hurriedly defended: "Deng Ai, don't pretend to be noble, life is the most important thing, I just take my brothers to survive, is this also wrong?" It's you, it's just that a person wants to be loyal, but now he still wants to take his brothers to the funeral with you, let me ask you, what's the reason? ”

Under this shout, the spirit of several sergeants was really shocked, and then when they looked at Deng Ai, there was a murderous aura in their eyes.

As an ordinary soldier, everything they do is just to survive, and it is not excessive, and it can be regarded as a fate.

Deng Ai saw the changes in these soldiers, he knew that there was no difference between talking and talking, and he actually didn't want to embarrass these soldiers, but Cai Yang was definitely killed, so as soon as his eyes turned, he rushed towards Cai Yang with his sword next.

How could a few soldiers allow Deng Ai to kill Cai Yang, they immediately blocked in front of the sword, and for a while, several people in the tent were in a mess.

Outside the tent, Lu Bu and Taishi Ciji entered the Wei army with a large army, and all the way through, they faced the Wei army that put down their weapons and surrendered, and after seeing that there was no hope, all the soldiers made the same decision, that is, surrender, only in this way can they live.

There was no resistance, which made it easy for Lu Bu's army to control everything here, and when he finally came to the tent and was about to meet Cai Yang, a group of people finally came out of the tent, and the first of them was General Cai Yang.

It's just that Cai Yang's face at this time is not very good-looking, he was hit by a sword in the ribs, although he was simply bandaged, but he was still bleeding, if it wasn't for welcoming Lu Bu and the others, he would have gone to rest at this moment.

"The sin general Cai Yang has seen General Lu and General Taishi." After being reminded by the deputy general beside him, Cai Yang already knew who the person in front of him was, and immediately knelt on the ground with his fists clenched.

"Oh, you're Cai Yang?" Looking at Cai Yang who was kneeling on the ground, Lu Bu nodded appreciatively, but when he saw the blood flowing from under his ribs, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you injured?" ”
