Li Chongjin was trapped by the Song army on a small mound, and there were probably five or six hundred people.

Xiaogui, Duan Meimei and Fei Datou have already lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

Li Chuyun's headquarters had already stormed the city of Yangzhou, and they drove out the defenders of the city and forced them to surrender.

Li Shoujie saw the banner at the head of the city change on the mound, and roared again and again, asking Zhao Kuangyin to fight him alone.

He was met with loud ridicule from the armies.

"The minister has a relationship with him, try to persuade him." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Don't persuade, what if he surrenders?" Zhao Pu disagreed.

"If he surrenders, he will be handed over to Dali Temple, and he will be tried for treason. Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xu Yongzhi and then at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth to ask Zhai Shouxun, this Li Chongjin's military advisor had already found an opportunity to escape to the Song military camp after the war began.

"Do you think Li Chongjin will surrender?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Everyone has something they want." Zhai Shouxun said.

"What does he want?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"He wants to be a hero, he wants to conquer the city, he wants him to surrender, I'm afraid he has to continue to be a festival envoy." Zhai Shouxun said.

"Doesn't he think about his family?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"That's not that important to him." Zhai Shouxun said.

"Zeping is worried that I will forgive Li Chongjin." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I don't dare." Zhao Pu said.

"Because I once spared Li Yun's son?" Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Yongzhi, how is this young man under your account?" ”

"What about the lieutenant general of the minister, this time he fought very bravely and rushed to the front." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Tell Li Chongjin that I will not forgive him," Zhao Kuangyin said to Xu Yongzhi, "but if I hand over Chen Siyu, the envoy of the Six Mansions, I can give him the right to commit suicide and send his family to the border, so that the whole family can survive." ”

Chen Siyu was an envoy sent by Zhao Kuangyin to send Li Chongjin the "Danshu Iron Coupon".

Zhao Da is such a boss, even if you are a small character, even if you are sent to do a cannon fodder mission, as long as possible, he will remember you and will consider saving you.

"Very generous conditions, but unfortunately Li Chongjin may not understand His Majesty's kindness." Zhao Pu said.

Xu Yongzhi took off his armor, put down his spear and sword, and rode to the Tushan Mountain where Li Chongjun's army was last guarded.

"I'm here for peace talks!"

"Let him come up!" Li Chongjin said with a snort.

Xu Yongzhi walked up the dirt slope.

"Ambassador-sama."

"Qiu Xiaoyi?"

"I'm Xu Jin, the word Yongzhi." Xu Yongzhi said.

"You are the king of the guns of the forbidden army! I...... I should have known a long time ago, how could there be water thieves with such good skills. Li Chongjin said.

"It's over." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'm not going to praise you, you're not a traitor, you're a spy, your navy is also a spy, what about Qiu Xiaoyi?" Li Chongjin said.

"I robbed the people's girl and was killed by me." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Good!" After Li Chongjin finished speaking, he realized that his allies had been killed.

He slowly lowered his thumb.

"The prime minister is a hero, and the official family is recognized." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'm a hero and I want his approval?" Li Chongjin glared at Xu Yongzhi.

This sentence is wrong.

Also, Li Chongjin's military fame is still above Chai Rong, and he is subordinate to Chai Rong, which is the will of Taizu, but after Chai Rong's death, the world of the Zhou family was taken away, and he really couldn't stand Zhao Kuangyin on his head.

"What are his conditions?" Li Chongjin said.

"If the adults hand over the six mansions to envoy Chen Siyu and then commit suicide, no one on the earth mountain will die, and your family will not die, and they will be assigned to the border." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Very forgiving," Li Chongjin looked at Xu Yongzhi, "but why should I believe you as a traitor?" ”

The soldiers on both sides had already drawn their swords.

"My lord, I'm not a traitor, you should know about it. I have always been a soldier of the official family, I am his sworn brother, I have never been effectively loyal to you, and there is no such thing as betrayal. ”

"You can call me a meticulous worker, call me a spy, that's no problem, my task is to break into your camp, I deceived you and completed the task."

"If you talk about a traitor, Zhai Shouxun is one, he is your subordinate, your military advisor, but you don't know that he is an old friend of Li Chuyun, he is also an old acquaintance of the official family."

"And your governor Liu Liangzuo, aha!" Xu Yongzhi sighed.

"What's wrong with Ryozo?" Li Chongjin asked.

"It's not important that he died, he was killed in a water battle, the point is, he went to my ship yesterday and said that you suspected me and took my newly married daughter-in-law away." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I didn't give such an order." Li Chongjin said.

"Of course not, the lord is a hero, if you doubt me, you should take me ashore to fight the vanguard." Xu Yongzhi said.

"yes, that's my style." Li Chongjin said.

"Liu Liangzuo wanted to detain my wife by himself, and he wanted to defect, but he had no internal contact with Song Jun, or the relationship was not strong enough, so he wanted to coerce me to defect in front of the battle, but he never expected that I was Song Jun." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Hahahaha, it's really exciting!" Li Chongjin said.

This is too self-indulgent, after all, it is your water army that has been defeated.

"The fall of the city gate is also your arrangement?" Li Chongjin asked.

"Thanks to Liu Liangzuo, she brought my wife in, and my wife took the city gate." Xu Yongzhi said.

"A woman ......," Mr. Lee said.

"She's a swordsman's disciple." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Great, two women in the city, which is your wife?" Li Chongjin said.

"It's all ......," Xu Yongzhi said.

"Some people are winners in life in everything they do, and today is the only time they have seen it." Li Chongjin said.

"My lord, you are a hero, but to lead the world forward, it is not enough to be a hero, the official family has collected enough talents, and it is not something you can shake. My lord, times have changed! Xu Yongzhi said.

"I have one condition, I want all these people to become Xu Jin's subordinates." Li Chongjin said to Xu Yongzhi.

"I can call the shots, I promised." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Okay, you let Song Jun open a road, I will ride into the city alone, go home and say goodbye to my family, they will send my body out." Li Chongjin said.

"It's a deal." Xu Yongzhi walked down the dirt mountain.

"How?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"He agreed, but I want all his subordinates to become my subordinates." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'm right." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"He wants our army to make way for him, he wants to ride home alone, say goodbye to his family, and they will send his body out." Xu Yongzhi said.

The military horses gave way to a road, and Li Chongjin walked down the dirt slope alone.

The sun was already setting in the west, shining from the canal to the west, sparkling.

"I didn't expect to be able to see the best sun on this day when I was going to die."

Li Chongjin's remnants maintained a good formation, walked down the dirt slope, put down their weapons, and the whole team, the leading military colonel saluted Xu Yongzhi, and their war was over.

"Uncle Taishi, take them to treatment and rest." Xu Yongzhi said.

At this time, suddenly there was a commotion among the Song troops at the head of the city.

The black smoke rising from the city was the direction in which Li Chongjin was entering his home.

Li Chongjin locked the elderly, women and children in the main room and set the house on fire.

"My lord, what should I do with this person?"

Several family soldiers escorted Chen Siyu, the envoy of the six houses who was imprisoned in the backyard.

"Minister, I'm here to send Danshu iron coupons! The official family is sincere! Chen Siyu trembled, still persuading.

"See that fire, it's my whole family." Li Chongjin looked at Chen Siyu.

"Let him go," Li Chongjin looked at Chen Siyu, "I caused these things myself, and there is no point in killing one more person like this." ”

Chen Siyu was prostrate on the ground, and Li Chongjin was indeed a noble martial artist.

Li Chongjin patted the shoulders of several soldiers one by one, turned around, and walked into the fire without looking back.

A few of the soldiers outside cried and fell to the ground.

After a while, they stood up.

They are not noble warriors.

They picked up their swords and slit Chen Siyu's throat.

Chen Siyu didn't lose his breath for a while, and he saw these people die one by one.

It's the same as the group of doormen in Tian Heng at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

"I was tricked by Li Chongjin." Zhao Kuangyin clenched his fists and said.

Zhao Kuangyin led the army to the prime minister's mansion in the city, which had been burned to the ground, but fortunately, Li Chuyun led his team to interrupt the fire and did not continue to burn to other places.

"Li Chongjin's family is dead," Li said, "and our envoy has also been killed by his soldiers." ”

"It's the minister's carelessness!" Xu Yongzhi also looked sad.

"It's okay if you didn't capture Li Chongjin's family, the death of Chen Siyu from the Six Mansions, Xu Jin, you are responsible." Zhao Pu said.

King Jin is here, Zhao Pu and Xu Jin will join forces, King Jin is not there, Zhao Pu is against Xu Yongzhi, then he should step on it.

Shi Shouxin's son had a good relationship with Xu Yongzhi, and he came out and hugged a grievance: "Official, Xu Jin's credit is very great, and the matter of seizing the city gate is the credit of his daughter-in-law, so this has to be regarded as a first." ”

To ascend first is to be the first to climb to the top of the city, which is a great achievement in ancient times.

"What Master Shi said makes sense, Xu Jin's merits should be rewarded, but Li Chongjin's evil deeds should be punished." Zhao Pu said.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "How to punish? ”

"Arrest Li Chongjin's three clans, kill the males over the age of sixteen, and the women and children will be sent to the border state." Zhao Pu said.

"Exactly." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Since ancient times, the major crime of rebellion has been to destroy the nine clans, and Zhao Pu's plan is already tolerant.

"In addition, the condition for pardoning those 600 people is that Li Chongjin surrenders, and now Li Chongjin not only killed his entire family, but also killed the envoys of the six houses, then the 600 soldiers should be executed." Zhao Pu said coldly.

Zhao Pu's eyes are a little yellow, he doesn't need a lot of emotions to kill, in his mind, others are numbers.

"No way!" Xu Yongzhi said categorically, "They have surrendered, and now they are my subordinates, the Song army!" ”

"They are rebels, and they have the blood of your brothers on their hands," Zhao Pu said, "and their lord will kill them, not you." ”

"Doctor, now their master is me, not anyone else!" Xu Yongzhi yelled at Zhao Pu loudly.

"Please use military law!" Zhao Pu said.

"Li Chuyun." Zhao Kuangyin called.

"The minister is here."

"You have been a military leader for many years, you tell me, in this case, do you want to kill these people?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

Junzheng is a military judge, and Li Chuyun is a general who has read books, so he has the best grasp of this part.

"When you go back to the official's house, you should be killed by military law." Li Chuyun said.

"You!" Xu Yongzhi pointed at Li Chuyun, and he was angry.

"But since the beginning of Houliang, the forbidden army has an ancient custom." Li Chuyun said slowly.

"What?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Chuyun.

"Don't kill." Li Chuyun said.

"Ha, I didn't even know there was such a rule." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"That is, if you capture the prisoner and don't give you food, once you give food to eat, you will be your own person, and with his food, he will become a soldier of the official family." Li Chuyun said.

"What about the soldiers?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I'm sent back to camp." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Okay, then Zeping, you follow Xu Jin to the camp, if those people have already eaten, then they will all be pardoned, if they haven't eaten, they will be brought out and killed." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Brother Zhao understands too well.

As soon as Brother Zhao's voice fell, Duan Meimei rode Xu Yongzhi's little white horse and went to the barracks.

"Hey!" Zhao Pu was furious, "Xu Jin, what are you doing!" ”

"My daughter-in-law will go back to the camp to cook first......"

A group of people couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"Official, this is cheating!" Zhao Pu shouted at Xu Yongzhi.

"Doctor, I think there are some things, it's almost enough, this is a civil war, everyone used to be comrades-in-arms, and they got on different ships, so they should allow others to repent." Xu Yongzhi said.

"You!" Zhao Pu was so angry that he trembled.

"Official, I ask to redeem the lives of these more than 500 people, they have been in Huainan for a long time, and they will definitely come in handy in the future." Xu Yongzhi pleaded.

"Ransom with what?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Is it okay to use the military exploits I brought back a naval army and capture the city gates?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Accurate!"

"Thank you, official!"

"Li Chuyun, you have made a contribution to attacking the city gate and discovering Li Chongjin's body, and I will order you to restore order in Yangzhou."

"The Lord's Order is grateful."

"Xu Jin, you were deceived by Li Chongjin in the negotiation, and the two merits of boarding first and seizing the ship were cancelled, and the merits and demerits were offset, and you still commanded the navy, army, and horses of the headquarters, and Li Chongjin was surrendered to the army, and you were incorporated."

"The Lord's Order is grateful."

Xu Yongzhi raised his head and looked at Zhao Pu.

Earned!

Although there were no officials, the lives of these soldiers were saved.

More importantly, there is a mystery that can be used in the will of the official family.
