Huang Baojie was anxious in a lookout mouth standing on the city tower, and the enemy camps on the east and west sides of Taiyuan could be seen in the distance, the Yan army's last two sieges were much stronger, and the city wall was poked with dense climbing arrows, and the Yan army used siege ladders to assist the climbing arrows, and several times almost attacked the city.

At this critical juncture of life and death, Li Chongbao's reinforcements were slow to move.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart, for a traitor like himself who killed the master and surrendered, Li Siye's attitude towards himself had already explained the problem, otherwise he would not use that method to test him. Instead of guarding Li Siye's camp and not moving, it is better to decisively choose to change the master. Taiyuan is a gate between Li Siye and Shi Siming, who to show the door is not to watch the door, anyway, it will not be trusted anywhere.

His servant quietly walked behind Huang Baojie and whispered, "The secret envoy sent by Dr. Tian is downstairs. ”

Huang Baojie nodded, quickly turned around and went downstairs, and came to a dark room under the city tower. A mysterious guest in a cloak was waiting for him, and said with a smile: "In Shimoda Yue, I came to see you on behalf of my uncle, Dr. Tian Chenghei." ”

Huang Baojie's expression changed slightly, and he also raised his hand and clasped his fist and said: "This time I finally sent someone with weight, and Huang no longer doubts Dr. Tian's sincerity." ”

"In that case, please talk about the conditions of General Huang."

There are three requirements for me to surrender. First, I will continue to be the envoy of the Hedong Festival, second, the Hedong Army is still directly under me, and the imperial court must not interfere, and third, all officials in Hedong should be appointed by me. ”

Tian Yue smiled sarcastically: "When General Huang killed Deng Jingshan and surrendered to Li Siye in the past, did he make these three demands to them?" ”

"The past is the past, now it is not the same as in the past, in the past I was only a small military envoy under the command of the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and now I am the Hedong Jiedu envoy, of course, I have to put forward higher requirements."

"Hmph, okay." Tian Yue snorted, but easily agreed to him: "We have promised you the three requests you said, we only need you to agree to us on the day of submission." ”

"Say."

"Li Chongbao is guarding Shangdang, it is really a big trouble for our henchmen, I hope that the general will lead the Hedong Army to attack Shangdang with us, and after Shangdang conquers it, Shangdang County will also be under the jurisdiction of your Hedong Jiedu envoy, how about it?"

Huang Baojie had no guilt about this, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I can send troops with Dr. Tian to attack the party." ”

"Happy," Tian Yue stroked his palm and praised: "General Huang is worthy of being a person who has achieved great things, and he does things really neatly." Five days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, there are no taboos, the general can officially announce the surrender of our army after five days, and then we will send troops south together. ”

"In such a hurry?" Huang Baojie still had a trace of hesitation in his heart, and he needed time to think.

"Of course, the soldiers are very fast."

"Okay, five days is five days! I swear to heaven that I will never change it, otherwise I will be hit on the ground. ”

"We might as well high-five the oath."

……

Tian Yueyi drove the ox cart out of Taiyuan City with great ambition, and he sat on the chariot humming a little tune, secretly thinking that he would inevitably be reused by his uncle after this battle. The strategy to persuade Huang Baojie to surrender all came from his plan, and he was able to take Taiyuan without bloodshed, which was a great credit that even Emperor Shi Siming had to praise, and his future wealth and power would depend on what happened today.

He came all the way to the outside of Qingxu County, but he saw many discarded wheels and stoves on the road, and the ruts on the road were scattered, all of which puzzled him. When he arrived at the location of the Chinese army camp, he saw a pile of remaining wooden stakes and tents.

One of Tian Chenghe's personal guard generals was waiting for him in the messy camp with his horse, and Tian Yue asked puzzledly, "Where did the Chinese army go?" ”

"Retreat to the direction of Yunzhou, and the left and right Yu Hou troops who attacked Taiyuan City have also received orders to retreat tomorrow."

"Why retreat? Huang Baojie had already relented, and they decided to surrender to my Dayan in five days. ”

"Really?" The guards were also overjoyed on their faces, and then said gloomily: "It's a pity that I can't catch up, the Luoluohe and Tongluo cavalry that attacked the direction of Jinzhong have been wiped out, and Li Chongbao has captured Taigu." In less than three days, he will break through Qingxu County and attack under the city wall of Taiyuan, and then Huang Baojie's wavering villain will definitely rebel. ”

"So what now?" Tian Yue asked a little unwillingly.

"Give up when it's time to give up, don't force it, this is what Dr. Tian taught me, no matter what you lose, as long as you still have your life, you will have a chance to regain it."

Tian Yue let out a long sigh, led the ox cart to the guard, and said, "Find a place to sell this ox and cart, and go to Yunzhou City with me." ”

……

Li Chongbao attacked Qingxu County on the second day, and led a large army to Taiyuan on the fourth day after taking Qingxu, and the Yan army attacking Taiyuan had retreated one day in advance.

Now not only Tian Yue, but even Tian Chenghei is sorry for this battle, and it is only three days before the victory or defeat of a war is decided, as if God does not give them a chance.

Tian Chengsi sighed while standing on the city wall of Datong in Yunzhou, looking at the direction of Taiyuan from afar. This is probably the last time he will come to Hedong, and he will never have the opportunity to obtain the Jin Land in the future, and Fanyang in Youzhou has also lost the depth barrier.

Hearing that the Yan army had withdrawn from Taiyuan City, and Li Chongbao had also led the army to Qingxu County, Huang Baojie broke out in a cold sweat, which was really hanging. Fortunately, only a few generals under his command knew about his intention to surrender, and these people should obediently keep their mouths shut when they had to work under their own hands in the future.

Soon Li Chongbao sent people to Taiyuan City to spread the news, saying that he was going to enter the city on the second day. Huang Baojie was a thief and decided to go out of the city to greet him in person to thank Li Chongbao for relieving the siege of Taiyuan.

In the early morning of that day, the weather was unusually clear, the morning sun sprinkled orange light on the earth, and the marching cavalry stepped out of the flying dust. Li Chongbao's banner fluttered in the front, the white leopard's tail swayed left and right on the flagpole, and the cavalry marching quickly behind him carried the banner behind him, and tens of thousands of flags were unfurled in one direction, looking extremely powerful.

Huang Baojie stood in front of the city gate and put a pergola in his hand to look out, and couldn't help but praise it: "The right soldier of Dudao Long is the strongest in the world, and when I saw it today, it was really like this, Li Siye, Li Chongbao and his son led the troops in a good way." ”

Judge Wei Yingwu glanced at him beside him, but smiled without saying a word, just looked calmly at the front and seemed to be confident.

Li Chongbao rode his horse to the gate of Taiyuan City, holding the reins of his horse and looking up at the city wall, the solid blue brick wall was embedded with the arrows fired by the bed crossbow, but the city wall stood still, he nodded and said: "This is the place of the Tang Dynasty Longxing, where the king's qi gathers, it is the real Dragon City." ”

He turned over and jumped off the horse, smiled and arched his hand towards Huang Baojie and said, "Doctor Huang has worked hard. ”

Huang Baojie returned the salute with a smile: "Thanks to General Li for coming in time." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Huang Baojie stretched out his hand to invite: "Please!" ”

They entered the city gate side by side, and the rest of the generals followed behind them, and there were people on both sides of the street watching and cheering, which was a special pomp and circumstance by Huang Baojie to curry favor with Li Chongbao.

Look at Li Siye's second son, he is young and doesn't even have a long beard, even if he can fight well and has the talent to fight, but he is estimated to be a chick in terms of human sophistication, as long as he wears a few high hats and touts the horse every day, this kid will inevitably not float, and it will be much easier to deal with him when the time comes.

"General Li, although Deng Jingshan's mansion in the city in the past is not luxurious, it can also accommodate people, and I ordered someone to clean it up for the general. In the past few days in Taiyuan, you have lived there. ”

Li Chongbao smiled apologetically: "Deng Jingshan, isn't that the mansion of the Jiedu envoy, how can I occupy the magpie's nest?" ”

"Hey, General Li seized the party, occupied the two prefectures of Jiangpu and Pu, and successfully saved Taiyuan. It is not an exaggeration to make you a county king for your merits, and now you have a favor with the people of Taiyuan, and it is right to live in the Jiedu Embassy's mansion. ”

"Hahaha, then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

"That's natural, let's go to the Jiedu Embassy's mansion first, I have already set up wine in front of the main hall, and there are many beautiful dances in Taiyuan to show their admiration for the general."

"Okay, good," Li Chongbao couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and said with a wave of his hand: "But before that, I also want to take a turn on the wall of Taiyuan City, and condescendingly take a good look at the dragon and tiger momentum of Dragon City." I also have to drive General Huang to escort me and show me the way. ”

"That's nature, and it's my honor to lead General Li on a tour."
