When the news of the truncated retreat reached Guo Li's ears, Wuqiujian's battle flag happened to fall, and the cheers of the Shu Han army came like a tide.

Guo Li's face was as dead as ashes. Wu Qiu Jian's entire army was wiped out, and it was impossible for him to save Shunyang City with his horses, and even whether he could escape with his whole body became a problem. His troops were like a long dragon, drained miles along the crooked river flats, blocked by the enemy at both ends, there was no way to advance, no way to retreat, and if the Shu Han sailors launched an attack from the Danshui, he would only be beaten.

Although Guo Li didn't know the specific situation yet, he knew that he had been defeated, and he had no temper at all. He also knew that from the moment he "broke through" the position of Shuanghuling, he had fallen into a trap.

Guo Li ordered the attack to be stopped, and continuing to attack did nothing to help the battle situation except for wasting the lives of the soldiers.

Wei Feng also ordered to stop the counterattack, and watched Guo Li lead the army back two hundred paces, keeping it out of range, and the originally noisy battlefield suddenly quieted down. The Shu Han army firmly controlled the situation, and all that remained was how to deal with these enemies.

Wei Ba took off his helmet and sat on a scarred, bloodstained horse, dangling one leg as he watched as Wu Qiujian was dragged in front of him.

Wu Qiu Jian's expression was very depressed, he received a kick from Wei Wu in the chest, and it hurt as soon as he inhaled, making his face look even worse.

"Wu Qiu Zhonggong, I have admired the name for a long time."

Wu Qiu Jian glanced at Wei Ba. sneered: "It's just a cheap name, how dare you have dirty ears." Since Qiu Jian is a prisoner under the general's rank, the only one who dies, there is nothing else to ask for, so the general should not bother to speak. ”

Wei Ba automatically ignored the second half of his sentence, and haha smiled: "Wuqiu Zhonggong, Hedong Wenxiren, was born in the first year of Chuping, August Renwu, this year there are forty two, and my father is not Qiuxing." Huang junior high school is Wuwei Taishou. The thief Zhang Jin and the traitor Hu Yougong, named the Gaoyang Township, worship the master craftsman......"

Wei Ba told Wu Qiu Jian's resume one by one, and Zuihou raised his eyebrows: "Am I wrong?" ”

Wu Qiu Jian looked at Wei Ba in surprise. He didn't expect Wei Ba to be so familiar with him.

"Don't be too surprised. It was Xiahou Xuan who told me. Wei Ba said with a smile: "My brother-in-law misses you old acquaintances very much in Jiaozhou." Do you miss him? ”

"Hmph." Wu Qiu Jian suddenly realized, but he was a little disdainful, and turned his head away.

"Look at Wu Qiu Jun like this. Probably refusing to descend. You do this, I don't know if it's because you look down on me Wei Ba, or do you want to be loyal to your emperor Bixia? ”

Wei Ba's voice was a little unkind, Wu Qiu Jian was stunned for a moment, and he suspected that if he was slightly negligent in his next answer, Wei Ba would probably cut him down. Although he refused to surrender, he was not willing to die easily. As far as he knew, Wei Ba had not yet been in the habit of killing prisoners, even Xiahou Mao had been imprisoned by him for a period of time, and Zuihou ransomed him.

"The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king, although the thrift is not talented, I dare not have a negative bixia." Wu Qiu said frugally, neither humbly, nor arrogantly.

"Okay." Wei Ba clapped his hands: "It is difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, since you want to be loyal to your Son of Heaven, I will not force it." However, don't think that by doing so, you will have a clear conscience. For your own selfishness, you folded the main force here, and now there are probably not many people in Shunyang City, do you think Cao Yu can hold Shunyang? ”

Wu Qiu Jian kept silent, but his eyes were a little depressed. Wei Ba's words pierced his weakness, if he was cautious and left Cao Yu with a thousand more people, or went out of the city, he would not have been lured by the victory of Wei Ba, and the whole army pounced, and then refused to retreat in time, and the situation in Shunyang City would not be as bad as it is now. Now there are only five or six hundred remnants left in the city, and Cao Yu can't hold Shunyang at all.

"You and I both know that Cao Yu can't defend Shunyang City, but the responsibility is not him, but you." Wei Ba said unhurriedly: "Cao Yu is a clan, he will not surrender easily, and he will definitely fight to the end." In this way, not only will he not be able to defend Shunyang City, but he will also force me to kill him. In other words, Cao Yu will die, but you are responsible. Do you think that's appropriate? ”

Wu Qiu Jian frowned.

"In addition to Cao Yu, there is also Guo Li, I heard that he is Mrs. Guo's uncle, is there such a thing?" Wei Ba laughed: "The Guo family is a big family in Xiping, and Mrs. Guo's entry into the palace seems to have something to do with your father's military exploits." Your father harmed the Guo family, so are you going to hurt Guo Li too? I don't know if this news reaches Mrs. Guo's ears, and she will give you the opportunity to be a loyal minister. ”

Wu Qiu Jian couldn't hold back any longer, his face turned red, and he shouted: "Wei Ba, what do you want to do?" If you want to kill me, give me a good time, and ask me to surrender, you can't. ”

"If you die, it won't do me any good, whether you surrender or not, I also said, I don't force others. However, I will give you a chance now, which can avoid the death of Cao Yu in battle, and possibly the death of Guo Li, how about it? ”

"What chance?"

"Persuade them for me."

"It's clever words, and it's exactly what I expected." Wu Qiu Jian sneered and turned his head away.

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me, Shunyang can't run away anyway, and Guo Li can't run away." Wei Ba stood up and clapped his hands: "I'll give you a day to think about it, after a day, I will send someone to attack Shunyang, then kill Guo Li, and then let you go back to be loyal to Cao Rui, of course, by the way, help me bring the heads of Cao Yu and Guo Li." ”

After Wei Ba finished speaking, Haha smiled, walked away with a relaxed step, and threw down Wuqiu Jian with a dead face, trembling with anger, and two martial arts guards watching him from the side.

Wuqiu Jian sat there for a day, watching the Shu Han army clean up the battlefield and count the results, watching Wei Ba dispatch troops to prepare to attack Shunyang City, watching the soldiers of the Shu Han army coming and going with excited expressions, watching him like a monster, watching a group of Wei army soldiers pass by him dejectedly, looking at him with complicated eyes.

After some ideological struggle, Wu Qiujian accepted Wei Ba's conditions and was willing to write to Cao Yu and Guo Li to persuade him to surrender. If you can persuade these two people to surrender, they are both generals, he has taken the greatest responsibility, Cao Yu and Guo Li are still a little grateful to him, otherwise, Wei Bazhen let him go back with Cao Yu and Guo Li's heads, and his life will be ruined.

Wei Ba was very satisfied with Wuqiujian's attitude, first let him eat a full meal, warm his body, and then brought him a pen and paper and asked him to write a letter of persuasion. I have to say that Wu Qiu Jian's writing is much stronger than Wei Ba's, and these two letters of persuasion are written with emotion and reasoning thoroughly, and Wei Ba can't help but applaud Wei Ba for not taking the case.

"No wonder Taichu admires you so much, your literary talent, tsk, you deserve to have done literature." Wei Ba exclaimed: "If you don't lead the troops to fight, you can also be ranked in Shilin with your literary talents, you are really a civil and military all-rounder." ”

Wu Qiu Jian was embarrassed.

Wei Ba immediately found a soldier who believed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and asked him to enter the city with a letter of persuasion from Wuqiu Jian to persuade him to surrender, and at the same time he also attached a letter to Cao Yu. He said to Cao Yu, your wife is the daughter of Zhang Lu, the master of the Heavenly Master Dao system, and I myself am the head of the Great Sacrifice Wine in the Guanzhong District of the Heavenly Master Dao, with this origin, I will not be unfavorable to you. I swear in the name of Zhang Tianshi, after the dedication of the city, you are willing to stay, I will not force it. But if you don't measure yourself, and you have to fight to the death, and the sword has no eyes, in case there is any loss, then it is not my responsibility.

Cao Yu saw the soldiers who persuaded him to surrender, read the persuasion letter from Wei Ba and Wuqiu Jian, and did not hesitate for too long, so he accepted Wei Ba's suggestion. There are already no troops in the city, and they can't hold Shunyang City at all, and if they want to defend it, it's just a matter of doing their best, and it won't help. Since Wei Ba can let him go, there is no need for him to die here. Dead is just a false name, but he knows better that the Son of Heaven Cao Rui needs more practical help now, and it is much more useful to tell the Son of Heaven about the battle situation here than to simply do everything.

Cao Yu sent people to tie himself up and prepare to go out of the city and surrender. Wei Ba was very happy to learn that Cao Yu was willing to surrender. He first sent people into the city, untied the rope on Cao Yu's body, and then entered the city with his own guard battalion. In this way, although Cao Yu still surrendered the city, he looked much better on his face, at least he didn't have to kneel and salute Wei Ba in front of the public.

"Thank you, General." Cao Yu said ashamedly: "The general's temperament is very human. ”

"Haha...... "Wei Badaxiao, affectionately holding Cao Yu's arm, entered the county temple together." Who made you the husband of Aunt Seven, for the sake of this affection, I can't be rude to you, otherwise, when I see Aunt Seven in the future, how can I have the face to speak? ”

Cao Yu smiled gratefully. His wife's name is Zhang Qiying, although she is married to him, she is still noble within the Heavenly Master Dao, because she is ranked seventh, so the Heavenly Master Dao always calls her the seventh aunt. Wei Ba called it so, that is, he regarded himself as a Heavenly Master and a Taoist, rather than a general of Shu Han, which invisibly diluted the hostile relationship between the two sides. For Cao Yu, this is also a compromise to eliminate psychological barriers, although it does not make up for the facts, it is more or less natural psychologically.

For Wei Ba's kindness, Cao Yu is of course grateful. In return, he also gave Guo Li an order, telling him to lay down his arms and surrender, and stop doing senseless fighting.

Cao Yu surrendered, and Wei Ba easily settled in Shunyang City, and for Guo Li, there was no point in insisting, so when he received Wu Qiujian's letter of persuasion to surrender, he had the heart to surrender, and then received Cao Yu's order, he no longer had any ideas, and surrendered immediately.

The more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, including 2,000 knights who had not yet had a chance to fight and were basically intact, also fell into the hands of Wei Ba.

Wei Ba said that he counted, he released Cao Yu on the spot, did not even ask for ransom, and also gave ten war horses and ten personal guards to escort Cao Yu back to Wancheng. And Wu Qiu Jian and Guo Li were left in Shunyang City by him, people can let them go, but the ransom is not exempt, no one in their family is an important person of the Heavenly Master's Dao.

After Cao Yu left Shunyang, he hurried to Fancheng.

Wei Ba hurriedly wrote to the Guanzhong and informed Ma Tan and Deng Zhi that they could flank Wuguan and recover Wuguandao...... (To be continued......)
