In the big tent, several Qi generals who went out of the city to surrender bowed their heads and bowed deeply in front of Li Tai, repeatedly affirming that they had already had the intention of surrendering to righteousness, but they were helplessly blocked by Han Zunian, the main general in the city, and finally tied Han Zunian to surrender today.

While listening to the stories of these people, Li Tai smiled and comforted Jia Mian, and then asked people to introduce the enemy Han Zunian into the big tent.

Han Zunian was carried into the tent, his hands and feet were tightly tied, and at first glance he looked like a zongzi. Li Tai couldn't help but be happy when he saw this scene, just seeing this person being tied up like this, it can be seen that the attacker has a little personal grudge in his heart, not just to restrict his actions.

Han Zunian was taken aback by Zhang Baoluo just now, and then realized that he had become a prisoner, but he was not used to this change of identity for a while, and then he was carried into the big tent again, because his body was still tightly bound, he could only barely move his neck and raise his head, and when he saw a graceful and heroic man in uniform sitting in the tent, he said with a slight hesitation: "Foot, foot is the prime minister of Wei State Li Dacheng?" ”

Li Tai nodded with a smile after hearing this, and then motioned for the soldiers to come forward to untie Han Zunian, and at the same time said in a deep voice: "Listening to the advice of several righteous people who came to the city, many soldiers and civilians in the city have the heart of righteousness and begging for attachment, but Han is still stubborn and unwilling to surrender. Now that it is in my account, what shall you say? ”

After Han Zunian was untied, his hands and feet were still a little numb and painful, and after hearing this, he glanced at the generals twice, and then bowed his head in the tent, and said in his mouth: "Although a certain person is not talented, he is also quite meritorious in his country." Now according to the fortified city to hold on, it was originally relied upon, but unexpectedly it was still inevitably restrained everywhere, and it turned out that the former warring person was actually Prime Minister Li Dacheng!

The prestige of the prime minister has spread to the world, and everyone has admired it for a long time, and many famous kings and generals in our country have hated Li Dacheng in front of the horse, and a certain one was actually held by the prime minister, although he was defeated, he was still glorious. Being ordered by the king to guard the frontier, it is his duty to die bravely and not be afraid of strong enemies. Only the great prime minister carried the mandate of heaven to punish the stubborn, and he couldn't even worship him, which is indeed a crime. I implore you to have compassion on this ignorant and ignorant person, and live with kindness and righteousness! ”

Li Tai thought that according to Han Zunian's previous attitude and practice, he would be more or less tough, but he didn't want to open his mouth and kneel, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

But this attitude undoubtedly satisfied him, so he smiled and said: "General Han has this insight, but it can not be described as stubborn. But it is indeed a pity to resist so far and harm the lives of the people in the city. ”

"Shame on the sinners, please punish the prime minister! Only begging to leave this remnant life can serve the prime minister and atone for his crimes! ”

Han Zunian saw that Li Tai's attitude had changed, and hurriedly bowed deeply, begging for mercy more and more earnestly, and then looked back at the generals who bound him to surrender and said: "Although the sinner is not talented, he is by no means completely devoid of moral thoughts. It is because of this, although the disciples have shown signs of surrender, the sinners still do not consider themselves guilty, have mercy and do not kill, and although they say what they say, they actually indulge in it, so that these people can act. ”

When the generals heard this, their faces became quite ugly, but they couldn't directly refute it, saying that there was no such thing, so they could only echo it in a muffled voice.

Li Tai was even more happy when he heard this, so he did not continue to make things difficult for the other party, raised his hand and motioned for him to get up and enter the table to answer, and then asked about the military secrets that he held.

Han Zunian saw that his life seemed to be saved, and he naturally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and naturally he didn't dare to hide Li Tai's problem, and he was busy telling everything he knew.

There is nothing to say about Yining County, almost all the troops are gathered in Yining City, and with the surrender of the defenders of Yining City, there is no longer a resistance force worth facing in the territory.

However, from Yining City to the north, through the east of Guyuan City, you can reach Wusu. Wusu is Gu Yan and, Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State, once broke the Qin army here. Wusu is located in Zhangshui, Zhangshui through the Taihang Mountain, it forms the Fukou Railway, so Wusu is also an important passage connecting Hebei.

At the same time, Wusu can pass through the western foot of Taihang Mountain along the turbid Zhangshui, Liaoshui and other river valleys to the north, and connect with Jinyang. And this passage is also a route that Jinyang people can detour through the Tongjun River to reach Jinzhou after the Bird Mouse Valley and the Thousand Miles Trail are blocked, but the route is winding and very difficult to walk.

From Yining City to the south, you can cross the gap in the remaining veins of Taiyue Mountain and go east to reach the tunliu in the Shangdang area. Tunliu is the heart of the Changzhi Basin, and it is also an important supply place for the brigade from east to west before entering the long mountain road.

As the defender of Yining City, Han Zunian naturally explained more than just these most basic geographical information. He also knew a lot about the deployment of Qi troops in various places, and the towns of the six towns in Wusu Town were more settled than in Yining, so Wusu also stationed a large number of soldiers.

On the Tunliu side, more than 10,000 men and horses were stationed, and the additional men and horses stationed in Yining City before were sent from the direction of Tunliu. Duan Shao, the king of the plains of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is currently leading troops to temporarily station in Shangdang, and the reason why he has not led his army to the west is because the army has not yet prepared enough food and grass.

After telling the military situation he knew, Han Zunian was still a little unsatisfied, and after a little muttering, he took the initiative to offer advice: "Wusu and Tunliu, although they are in important places, but if you talk about it at the moment, it needs to be Wusu." One is that Wusu is connected to Jinyang in the north, and the other is that there are still two or three smooth roads to follow, and the old ones also follow this more when they transfer their grain.

Between the many ravines in the counties and counties on this side, although the troops are stationed here for the purpose of recruitment, due to the terrain restrictions, the cultivation and weaving are not prosperous, and the county treasury is not abundant. The march is mostly an aisle, and the use of troops must be turned to help. Duan Shao and other thieves are all afraid of the prestige of the prime minister, and if they do not gather heavy troops, they will not dare to enter lightly to win, once the army advances, the grain and grass are a worry. If it can cut off its Wusu grain road, its army will be discouraged, and it will not be difficult to break it! ”

Li Tai also agreed with Han Zunian's plan, and after hearing this, he bowed his head slightly, and then looked at Han Zunian, who was gradually becoming more active, and said with a smile: "Then according to General Han's view, what should be done to take Wusu lightly?" ”

"The prime minister is unparalleled in his strategy, and he uses soldiers like a god, so what he wants, how can he not do it? In the end, the general only relied on the natives of this township and was familiar with the situation, and since he had to ask, he dared to say a word or two, and his clumsy plan was not coincidental, and only the prime minister would cut it! ”

Han Zunian first expressed his attitude humbly, and then continued: "The great prime minister used all the captives outside the city to persuade the public to surrender, which is a very good plan. Yining, Wusu and other realms are many old townspeople, this group of disciples especially respect the township righteousness, love to gather the masses for the party, the criminal order military law is particularly difficult to control, the township righteousness and family affection can especially inspire ......"

Hearing Han Zunian's evaluation of the town soldiers in the six towns, Li Tai couldn't help but feel that this guy did have something, and summarized the habits of the town soldiers very cleverly. To be honest, these town soldiers do not have any sense of righteousness, but they are especially keen to hold together.

It is not only reflected in the political pattern of the Eastern Wei and Western Wei dynasties, such as in the early years of the decisive battle between Er Zhurong and the rebels of the Six Towns led by Ge Rong, Gao Huan directly persuaded the surrender and integration of several Hao chieftains before the battle. And the people of the six towns after that also became a hot potato for the Erzhu clan, and they couldn't manage it, and they couldn't kill it, and in the end, they were simply thrown to Gao Huan by Erzhu Zhao as a hot potato.

Han Zunian continued: "When the last general was still disobedient to his orders, there were chaotic orders before and after, and he was forced to be angry. Now that he has served as the prime minister, he naturally does not dare to hide anything. If you want to take Wusu, you will also reorganize the Yining army and civilians into an army, and their fathers and relatives will stay in the rear, and the front division and brigade will not dare to rebel.

The Ukrainian-Soviet defenders also have many relatives and friends of the soldiers on this side, and they will not fight to resist because they have come to attack for some reason, and at that time, they will either attack and kill the enemy in the army, or the soldiers will be called to surrender at this time......"

"Prime Minister, this must not be!"

Before Han Zunian's words fell, several other generals hurriedly bowed to the ground and loudly dissuaded.

When Li Tai saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that people's hearts are really complicated. This Han Zunian was still stubbornly in the city and refused to surrender, but after being tied up and surrendered by his generals, his attitude changed faster than anyone else, and now he is taking advantage of the opportunity to offer this kind of desperate plan, and he must also have the idea of revenge against these rebel soldiers.

After a little silence, he smiled and said: "The soldiers and civilians of this city surrendered to me, and what they did was nothing more than to be grateful for life. If I can't live righteously, how is it different from the thief master Gao? At present, since the disciples are tired of fighting and abandoning the battle, I will no longer force them to go to the battle, and as for the future desire to seek advancement with martial arts, it is another matter. ”

Han Zunian's strategy may have some truth, but if it can really produce much effect, it is not necessarily true. Even the main reason why Yining City was able to successfully persuade to surrender here should be that the strength of the defenders has been greatly weakened, and the back road Guyuan City has been taken away. Persuasion is only an auxiliary means, but it is not a decisive factor.

When several generals heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed again and again: "Dacheng is quite benevolent and righteous, and a certain father and elder will be grateful to Dacheng if he is given a life!" ”

Han Zunian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then hurriedly bowed deeply: "The prime minister is broad-minded and benevolent, which is really admirable!" ”

Although he did not arrange for these soldiers to participate in the attack on Wusu City, Li Tai did not let them be idle, and after receiving the city with the cooperation of these generals, he immediately ordered Han Zunian and several other important generals to be sent to Jinju City. Wusu City doesn't need these people to persuade them to surrender, but it is not costly for the military heart of Jinju City to use these people to shake it.

After settling in Yining City, Li Tai sent another order to the rear, and transferred Pei Xia to Zhengping Town to guard Fenqu with Hedong Taishou, summoned Han Guo to the north, and led 10,000 horses and horses under Jinzhou City to enter Yining in the east of Sichuan, so that he could serve as the main general of the next attack on Wusu City.
