Chapter 874: Surrender
After this defeat, Deng Jiugong's western expedition was a complete failure, and he no longer had the ability to confront Xiqi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info lost his troops and lost his beloved daughter, so that in a short period of time, most of the marshal's hair was gray.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses, in a short period of time, the loss of less than 50,000, this is a big blow to Deng Jiugong's ability, even if he returns to Chaoge, he will inevitably suffer from the guilt.
But let him surrender to Xiqi, and he was a little unwilling, if he was discriminated against in Xiqi, it would be better to die on the battlefield and become famous.
Just when Deng Jiugong was desperate for the future, a paper crane flew into his tent at night when no one was paying attention and unfolded in front of him.
It is said to be a paper crane, but this is not paper, and Gao Fei doesn't want to create paper at this time when he is a god, and it will not bring glory, but killing.
It's not paper, but it's no different from paper, and when treated with a wide leaf, it's not inferior to paper at all.
When he saw the handwriting on it, Deng Jiugong knew that it was his daughter's handwriting, and it seemed that he did not die in the chaos, which was a great luck.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Jiugong knew from the content that Deng Chanyu was taken away by a mysterious Taoist in the army that day, and forcibly accepted as a registered disciple, and there was no danger.
As for the name of the Taoist, Deng Chanyu did not write it, and after telling his safety, the content behind made Deng Jiugong's heart moved.
Among them, all the key information of his expedition to Xiqi was clearly written, including all the plans of Jiang Ziya to let him surrender because he was afraid of leaving Sun Sheng to capture Tuxingsun.
The tragic role played by his daughter in it made Deng Jiugong feel so hateful, but he had to admit that if things developed according to the situation, the possibility of his surrender was extremely high.
This is a trap for him, starting from all aspects of military strength, reputation, and family affection, so that Marshal Chengtang, who is not very loyal, goes to Xiqi.
Seeing this, Deng Jiugong was angry with Jiang Ziya, and he also had a bit of fear, which was worthy of the existence of being able to kill Wen Taishi.
Finally, the analysis of the Mandate of Heaven pointed out that Qi Zhou's replacement of Chengtang is the general trend of the world, and any obstruction will be annihilated under Jiang Ziya's troops.
Such an analysis must not be what Deng Chanyu thinks herself, but the guidance behind the mysterious Taoist.
In these words, the Taoist's tone towards Xiqi was not polite at all, perfectly portraying Jiang Ziya's cunning in order to achieve his goal.
It shows that the mysterious Taoist is a character who doesn't have much affection for Xiqi, and as for saving his daughter, he did it easily.
Needless to say, the purpose is enough to be able to eat Xiqi and not be able to achieve its own goal.
But this Taoist is obviously so unhappy with Xiqi, and still bluntly says that the destiny of heaven is in Xiqi, no wonder he doesn't even dare to show his head, he can only play a little conspiracy.
However, being able to save his daughter from humiliation is already the best kindness.
From here, Deng Chanyu's tone finally began to appear, knowing his future fate, for the sake of his father, he still persuaded him not to insist on being loyal to Chengtang, but to find a suitable time to take refuge in Xiqi.
Indeed, after understanding the general trend of the world, it is simply appropriate to make such a choice, if you hold on, you will definitely die.
Of course, Deng Jiugong did not want to die, and now Chengtang can be said to be in full decline, but the soldiers are still not to be underestimated, and too many rebellions have been suppressed.
Only Xiqi, in the face of Chengtang's various expeditions, not only did not fail, but became stronger and stronger, becoming the prince who commanded the world, which can be said to be a hundred responses, and successfully won the support of the people.
Knowing the destiny of heaven, taking refuge in Xiqi is not only not a shame, but a kind of glory, from the dragon's merits, it is enough to make his Deng family a pivotal family in Xiqi, and the descendants of Fuyin.
As for Jiang Ziya's calculations, if they didn't succeed anyway, their daughter should also be a blessing in disguise, becoming an outsider, and being at ease, what else is there to be dissatisfied with.
After he read the letter in his hand, it suddenly turned to ashes, leaving no trace.
After having a plan in his mind, Deng Jiugong finally stabilized and began to take charge of military affairs again, so that the remaining army once again regained its former glory.
But everyone knows that this is only the surface scenery, once they encounter a war, these moraleless sergeants will be immediately defeated, and there will be no luck.
He is waiting, waiting for the time to come, if Jiang Ziya wants him to surrender, it won't work if he doesn't have sincerity, this barracks that is no longer in the past is his last bargaining chip.
Sure enough, after seeing Deng Jiugong once again set up the camp, Jiang Ziya's eyes showed an admiring look, and it was really remarkable to be able to be so indomitable.
Jiang Ziya, who had a heart of love for talent, although he did not capture Deng Chanyu alive, still sent San Yisheng as a lobbyist.
Hearing that San Yisheng was coming, Deng Jiugong did not shirk it, and immediately ordered someone to invite him into his camp.
Knowing Jiang Ziya's purpose, Deng Jiugong was not bypassed by San Yisheng, and after showing his interested posture, he was endlessly diverting the topic and arguing.
The first negotiation ended in failure, but San Yisheng also brought out the attitude that Deng Jiugong's surrender was not impossible, as for why he didn't agree, it was just that he didn't have enough chips.
In the following situation, the two sides completely boycotted the war, and the various lobbyists came and went to explain their own conditions, and finally Deng Jiugong sold himself for a good price.
His position is still the chief soldier, which is equivalent to his original position, and he has the power to lead all the way to the army, which can be described as a prince with a high position.
Although he can't be compared with Huang Feihu's King Wucheng in terms of status, in terms of soldiers and horses, he is not inferior to him at all, and has successfully formed a balance against Huang Feihu.
This is the reason why Jiang Ziya spent a lot of effort to recruit Deng Jiugong, Xiqi can't let the Huang family dominate, in the case of having King Wucheng, there is also the god general Huang Tianhua, the strength of the Huang family is a little too strong, which is not conducive to Xiqi's mastery of the ministers.
The surrender of Deng Jiugong was undoubtedly another huge blow to Cheng Tang, and when the matter reached Chaoge, the entire court was in a panic.
Now the situation in Chengtang, these court people are very clear, it has been chaotic to the point of no return, only those generals stabilize the situation, and the people can be said to be struggling to make a living.
Di Xin, the emperor, did not pay attention to the government at all, and every time he met with him, there was a risk of death, and when Zhang Qian presented the recital of Deng Jiugong's surrender to Xiqi to Di Xin, Di Xin was furious.
Even if he is a faint monarch now, he is still wise and martial in the past, and naturally knows that the surrender of a marshal is a blow to Cheng Tang.
Di Xin, who had not been in the government for a long time, once again convened officials to discuss the matter of the westward expedition, and finally a middle counselor, Fei Lian, proposed that Jizhou Hou Su Hu go on the expedition.
Su Hu is a relative of Emperor Xin, and the second is the chief of the princes, so he naturally stands on the opposite side of Xiqi, and he does not worry about Su Hu doing his best.
However, the courtiers did not expect that in order to marry Daji, Su Hu refused to accept and rebelled, and was defeated by Chongheihu, so he had to offer Daji to pray for peace.
This national relative is definitely a shame for Su Hu, not a glory, and now he ordered Su Hu to go to Xiqi, which is completely a meat bun and a dog, and he will never return. (To be continued.) )
