"My lord, what should we do" It can be seen that Shangguan Xiu did not deceive them, the Zhenxi army was indeed prepared and set a trap in the camp, and now they have fallen into the trap of others, and it is not easy to break out again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Tong sighed faintly, looked around at the generals around him, and said with a wry smile: "In this battle, our army was defeated, and the tactics of taking the initiative to attack were formulated by me, and now that I am defeated, the consequences should also be borne by me, you don't have to die in vain." ”

"Adult"

"Put down your weapons, I am the chief general in the army, even if the Zhenxi Army wants to kill, it will kill me, and it will not be difficult for you. Wang Tong said.

"My lord, we are not afraid of death, as long as you give an order, we will fight with the Zhenxi Army"

"Yes, my lord, you give the order, your head has fallen off, and the mouth of the bowl has a big scar," the rebel generals said.

Wang Tong took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Put down your weapons, this is a general order, if there is any disobedience, you will be killed."

When everyone heard this, they all hung down their swords one after another like deflated balls.

Wang Tong took two steps forward and said loudly to the silver-haired young man opposite: "Lord Shangguan, my department is willing to surrender, but I only have one request, I, Wang Tong, can be disposed of by the Zhenxi Army, but please Lord Shangguan don't embarrass my brothers."

"Haha" The silver-haired young man looked up and smiled, and replied: "General Wang, don't worry, I have already said that as long as you are willing to surrender and give up resistance, my Zhenxi Army will not kill a single soldier indiscriminately, and I will never break my word."

Wang Tong nodded, and said to the generals around him: "Pass the order, and the whole army will disarm." ”

In the case of being besieged by the Zhenxi Army, Wang Tong, as the chief general of the whole army, issued an order to surrender, and how could the soldiers below disobey the order and resist to the death

For a while, there was a crisp sound in the rebel camp, and people threw their weapons to the ground, and then took off the helmets on their heads and threw them down together.

As they disarmed, a large number of Sergeants of Zhenxi rushed over and collected the weapons and helmets scattered all over the ground.

This is the effect that Wang Tong wants. If in Pingzheng, he ordered the whole army to surrender to the Zhenxi Army, how many of the soldiers below would support him and how many would oppose it, it was really hard to say, he sent Li Bo and Shangguan Xiu to conspire and come up with such a way, which was to first put the whole army into a desperate situation, and in this situation of being unable to win the battle and hopeless to break through, he ordered the whole army to surrender, and no one would stand up against it.

In fact, the effect was just as he expected, and in desperation, the people passively accepted the order to surrender the whole army.

Shangguan Xiu did not break his promise, did not kill a single soldier of the rebels, nor did he detain a single soldier of the rebels, and ordered the soldiers under his command to gather the rebels together, and those who were willing to defect would be accepted, and those who were unwilling to defect would be released.

The more than 20,000 rebels did not make an immediate decision, they were waiting, waiting for what the Zhenxi army would finally do with Wang Tong.

Shangguan Xiu asked Wang Tong to take him to the Chinese military tent, and after coming in, he smiled leisurely and said to Wang Tong: "General Wang is well aware of the righteousness, and he is willing to lead his troops to defect, which is really the luck of the two armies."

Wang Tong patiently bowed to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Lord Shangguan has won the award." ”

After a pause, he couldn't wait to ask: "Now that I have led my troops to defect and sacrifice the peace government as Lord Shangguan wished, should Lord Shangguan also keep his promise and release my family?"

"Of course. Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, and said, "Actually, I took General Wang's family to Hou'an, just as a guest, and had no other intentions. ”

Wang Tong sneered when he heard this, before he could speak, Shangguan Xiu continued: "I believe that General Wang is a smart person, and at a critical moment, he will naturally make a wise choice, and it is inevitable to lead his troops to defect, in the future, everyone will be brothers in the same class, how can I be difficult for my brother's family."

Alas, Wang Tong sighed secretly, good and bad words were said by Shangguan Xiu, what else could he say Seeing that he was silent, Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile: "I don't know if General Wang is willing to stay in my Zhenxi Army If General Wang is willing, it will naturally be the blessing of my Zhenxi Army, if General Wang is unwilling, I will not be strong, and I will let General Wang take his family back to his hometown in Huan County." ”

Wang Tong looked at Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Lord Shangguan is serious about this."

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "To my brother, I never break my word. ”

Wang Tong lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, he knelt down on one knee to Shangguan Xiu, intervened in the salute, and said: "The last general, Wang Tong, is willing to serve the adults and horses."

Shangguan Xiu stretched out his hand and said, "General Wang, please get up quickly." "Shangguan Xiu still admires Wang Tong's person, how Wang Tong's spirit is martial and how he uses soldiers, because the two sides have not really fought each other, Shangguan Xiu has no way to judge, but it can be felt through the fact that the rebel soldiers are obedient to him, Wang Tong's governance of the army is very strict, and he is also deeply loved by the soldiers under his command, such a person, the command of the army will not be too bad.

"General Wang has just arrived, and he doesn't know enough about the situation of our army, so how about temporarily serving as the commander of the corps?"

Wang Tong knelt down on one knee again, intervened and saluted: "The last general is promoted by Lord Xie"

Li Bo, who was standing aside, looked anxious, Wang Tong had just taken refuge and was promoted to the commander of the corps, but the position promised to him by the adults had not yet been fulfilled. Of course, Shangguan Xiu noticed Li Bo's anxiety, he smiled slightly, and said, "Li Bo"

"Subordinates are here" Li Bo was shocked and hurriedly stepped out.

Shangguan Xiu said: "This time, you have merit in recruiting General Wang, and I will promote you to the commander of the 15th Corps."

"Thank you, Lord Hou" Li Bo was so excited that the muscles on his face suddenly jumped, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed forward. Shangguan Xiu said again: "General Wang, I will promote you to the commander of the 16th Corps, in the future, you and General Li will be the corps commanders of my Zhenxi Army, no matter what gaps there were before, don't hold a grudge, in the future, you must help each other more."

"It's my lord," Wang Tong nodded expressionlessly.

Li Bo, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed, glanced at Wang Tong obliquely, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised unconsciously, now there is no difference between the identities of the two of them, they are both corps commanders, and they don't have to look at his face from now on.

It's just that with Wang Tong's character, he will never forget that he betrayed his family, and he has to find an opportunity to get rid of him in the future and get rid of future troubles forever. Thinking of this, the smile on his face disappeared, and his face became gloomy again.

After the surrender, Wang Tong decided to join the Zhenxi Army, and was appointed by Shangguan Xiu as the commander of the Zhenxi Army, and the news soon spread to the ears of the rebel soldiers.

Wang Tong's decision led to most of the soldiers under his command choosing to stay in the Zhenxi Army, and only more than 1,000 people refused to join the Zhenxi Army.

With Wang Tong leading the army to defect, Pingzheng City naturally fell into the hands of the Zhenxi Army, and more than 100,000 Zhenxi troops were stationed inside and outside Pingzheng City.

In Hou'an, the Zhenxi army recruited nearly 20,000 recruits, and in Pingzheng, it accepted more than 20,000 rebels led by Wang Tong, and after connecting these two cities, the strength of the Zhenxi army increased by more than 40,000 people, and the original 100,000 army also increased to nearly 150,000.

The fifteenth and sixteenth are all recruit corps of the Zhenxi Army, and Li Bo and Wang Tong are respectively appointed as the commanders of the corps, one is to compare the abilities of the two of them, and the other is to prevent the sudden rebellion of the two of them.

With the occupation of Pingzheng by the Zhenxi army, Xijing, where Shi Kaiwen is located, has completely become a lonely city, in the west of Xijing, there are more than 100,000 Zhenxi army, and in the east of Xijing, there are 100,000 central army of the imperial court, the strength of the two armies combined, there are more than 200,000, like an iron tong, sandwiching Xijing in the middle.

The war went so smoothly that the whole Zhenxi army was naturally jubilant, but at the same time, it was a bit unexpected by Shangguan Xiu. Before sending troops, Shi Kaiwen's forces entrenched in the Zhenzhong area looked very strong and terrifying, but when he really moved, he found that it was not the case at all, Shi Kaiwen's forces were just strong outside the middle, and their real strength was far from being as strong as they seemed. This battle also made Shangguan Xiu understand a truth, the war competition is not just a simple data, and the seemingly powerful enemy may not be the most terrible enemy.

Everything is going well, and it seems that only a matter of time is left to break through Xijing in one fell swoop. And just when Shangguan Xiu was full of confidence and planned to further advance the army to Xijing, bad news came from the rear, the logistics supply of the Zhenxi army was attacked, and hundreds of soldiers and more than 1,000 hired workers and ordinary people who were responsible for escorting grain and grass were all killed, none of them survived, and most of their grain and grass were robbed, and the rest was burned.

Shangguan Xiu, who got the news, was furious and surprised at the same time, although his own grain transportation team did not have many troops, but there were also hundreds of brothers, where did the enemy army come from, and they could kill hundreds of brothers and thousands of people

With his hands behind his back, he clenched his fists tightly and asked Luo Fu and Zhao Chen, who reported the news, "Can you bring back the corpse of your brother who died in battle?"

"This, this"

"What is this, is there any" Shangguan Xiu asked with a frown.

"I brought back the bodies of my brothers, but I couldn't find the heads of my brothers, and I think they were taken away by the enemy. ”

Bang Shangguan Xiu smashed his fist on the coffee table next to him, and the coffee table shattered in response.

Tang Wanyun, who was sitting on the side, was also taken aback by him, she rarely saw Shangguan Xiu have such a big fire. Shangguan Xiu's eyes were blazing, and he asked word by word: "Where did the rebels who attacked us come from?"

"This," Luo Fu stammered. Shangguan Xiu said in a condensed voice: "Hugh wants to support me again, do you know or don't know?"

Luo Fu knelt down and said, "Brother Xiu, since none of our brothers are still alive, we have no way of grasping the situation of the enemy army, and we still don't know anything about the enemy army for the time being."
