Chapter 106: Wei Bo's Redemption (I)
(I matched two friends tonight, and I came back late.) Tomorrow will be able to change normally. )
"Father, I am overjoyed!"
Tian Bu hurriedly walked into Tian Xing's study. Tian Xing was not painting this time, but reading official documents. Tian Bu reported with a smile on his face:
"Father, the imperial court has issued an edict, agreed to my father's conditions, allowed Wei Bo to surrender, named my father the governor of Wei Prefecture, Wei Bo Jiedu ambassador Tongping Zhangshi, washed Wei Bo's soldiers, and rewarded millions of dollars. And appointed Pei Du Xianggong as Wei Bo's ambassador for consolation, and he will come to Weizhou to announce the edict in the near future. ”
This is the proper meaning of the question set by the emperor Wei Bo, Tian Xing was not too excited, but asked:
"Did the edict say how to settle the bereaved families of the old ministers?"
He was referring to the placement of the Yuan clan and Tian Huaiji. Tian Bu nodded and said:
"The edict made it clear that Brother Ji'an's crimes were unforgivable, but he remembered his ancestors' merits, admonished him to be young, and did not pursue the bereaved family, and named him a free rider and a mansion in Chang'an, and set off for Luoyang on the same day with his nephew and Yuan's sister-in-law."
Tian Xing relieved himself and asked Tian Bu to arrange the entourage and escort the soldiers and horses. He also summoned Dong Shao and ordered him to convene Wei Bo Wenwu to discuss the surrender and prepare the register and the like.
Nie Feng, who had just led the army to withdraw from Ziqing, first expressed his support for Tian Xing, and stationed the army outside Weizhou City, and then Shi Xiancheng, He Jintao and other soldiers and horses successively agreed, as for Tian Rong, that is Tian Xing's own brother, Tian Xing is what he taught, can you object?
Now that they heard that the imperial court had allowed Wei Bo to surrender, all the people in the congregation put their hearts in their stomachs. However, there are still people who feel distressed about ceding the land of Sanzhou all of a sudden. However, Dong Shao immediately asked:
"Whoever can stop the officers and soldiers can stand up."
Who can stop the officers and soldiers? Tian Xing has this ability, but does Tian Xing want to block it? I don't want to stay in the future, that's a fart!
Tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered like this, and everyone didn't feel good in their hearts. Tian Xing knew everyone's intentions and said:
"I know that everyone is uncomfortable, and I am not comfortable, and surrender is not a choice that a general should make. But you must realize that I, Wei Bo, are not surrendering, but returning to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. The vote is his own court, how can he say that he will surrender? My Wei Boerlang is a good man who is a ten, and he is a person with affection and righteousness, and the surrender of our army is not weaker than that of the official army, but loyalty. After this battle, Heshuo is no longer able to fight against the imperial court, for the sake of the future, you must treat yourself as an outsider in the Tang Dynasty again, otherwise, I, Tian Xing, will definitely be the first to take him first! ”
How the generals didn't know, they all said:
"Respect the teachings of the great commander!"
Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, Tian Xing made a happy gesture. But if you want these rebellious people to follow him with all their hearts, just a few words will definitely not work. So Tian Xing's eyes swept over the generals and said calmly:
"That being said, we Webb Warriors really can't be looked down upon. If you want to surrender, you must also let the emperor and the court see that my Wei Bo soldiers can be driven, not defeated by the remnants of the army. ”
He Jintao heard that there was an article in Tian Xing's words, and asked:
"But after staying, I want to fight another battle to correct my name as a soldier of Wei Bo?"
Tian Xing nodded and said:
"That's exactly what I meant after I stayed here."
Shi Xiancheng said:
"With whom? It's hateful that Li Shidao's guy was destroyed so quickly, and he can't use it. Do you want our army to fight with Wu Chongyin or Fan Xianggong again? In this way, the court is afraid that it will turn its face. ”
Tian Xingdao:
"Of course we won't fight the court again, but we can look north."
To the north, that is Chengde, Wang Chengzong's territory. The generals all had knowing smiles on their faces. If you go up the mountain to be a thief, you have to vote for your name, let alone surrender to the court? The three towns of Heshuo have always been a big trouble for the imperial court, and now that Wei Bo has surrendered, then it will naturally be Chengde's turn below, Wang Chengzong, a bastard, if he didn't refuse to work with us and observe the wind direction on the side, we wouldn't have surrendered so quickly and been squeezed out by others. As soon as the generals thought this, they burst into flames.
"That's it!"
Tian Xing said in his heart. Immediately got up and said:
"Ben Liuhou just received the battle report, taking advantage of our army waiting for the snow to be washed, Wang Chengzong sent his brother Wang Chengdi and the general Wang Tingcuo to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Beizhou, and now Beizhou has fallen into the hands of Chengde. The six states of Weibo must be completely returned to the imperial court, so that our army can be loyal and righteous, do you dare to go with Ben to recapture Beizhou and drive Zhao Bing back? ”
At this time, there is an opportunity to show his face, where are the generals reluctant, at this time, if you can put your name in front of the success paperwork, who is not happy? At that moment, all the generals said in unison:
"Obey the orders of the rear!"
Tian Xing was overjoyed, and was assigned at that time, leaving his eldest brother Tian Rong and the general Nie Feng to guard Weizhou, and he led Tian Bu, Shi Xiancheng and He Jintao to lead 15,000 elite soldiers to take advantage of Zhao's negligence to attack the German army. I heard that to fight the German army, everyone's morale is very high, after all, Chengde's opportunistic and robbery behavior is despised by everyone, can teach Chengde a lesson, why not do it?
At this time, no one cared about Wang Chengzong's identity as a member of the Tongping Zhangshi and the north of Weizhou, in the eyes of Wei Bo's generals, Chengde was the same as them, and it was okay to show weakness to the imperial court, but it was a great shame to let Chengde ride on his neck.
Wei Bo's surrender is a foregone conclusion. And there is no definite opinion on where Hengzhou will go. Wang Tingcuo and other generals were happy to be at ease, and relied on Chengde Duoshan, the situation was available, and they refused to be attached, but Wang Chengyuan, the younger brother who had already been impressed by Wang Chengzong, urged Wang Chengzong to show weakness, please assassinate Shi, lose two taxes, disarm the team, and even better invite yourself to the court now.
"Otherwise, my Wang clan is not enough to protect himself."
Wang Chengyuan said:
"Wang Ting's co-ordination is self-interested. It sounds like he is doing everything for my family, but in fact, everything is harming my family, and the eldest brother can't be deceived by it. The eldest brother has ever heard that Li Shidao once asked to cede the land and send him back to the court, and the servants on the left and right persuaded him that the land of the twelve states of the first prince could not be dealt with others out of thin air, and it was not too late to fight until he could not return to the court. Li Shidao listened to the slander, and as a result, both father and son were beheaded. Where are those who persuaded Master Li in the first place? It was Li Shidao's most trusted general, Liu Wu, who killed him. Wang Tingcuo is now preventing the eldest brother from returning to the court, and he knows that the army of the imperial court is pressing the border, and it is not he Wang Tingcuo who harms my Wang family? If I were the eldest brother, I would have killed him first. ”
As for the land of Beizhou, Wang Chengyuan said:
"Brother thinks that the eldest brother should withdraw from Beizhou quickly, our army took Beizhou after the imperial court promised Wei Bo to surrender, the timing was not right, and it was given to the people in vain. I don't know much about Tian Xing, but I heard that Tian Xing, in order to avoid Tian Ji'an's suspicion, was able to pretend to have a stroke and endure it for more than two years. ”
