But there are also those who react quickly, seeing that this is the result, one of them suddenly said: "General, Wang Xin was killed by us, General Wang Xin will definitely not spare us, then we might as well ... It's better to surrender the dragon army."

It's better to surrender the dragon army, as soon as these words came out, they fell in Sun You's ears, and he instinctively wanted to reprimand. But he couldn't say anything.

Wang Pestle is dead, after General Wang Xin knows about it, he will definitely punish him severely, if he doesn't make one good, not only will he be locked up, but even if one of these personal soldiers is counted as one, he will not survive.

Instead of everyone dying together, it is better to defect to the Dragon Army, so that everyone can live, and it seems that they can live better.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Sun You, before Wang Pestle appeared, did not have the slightest intention of surrendering to the Dragon Army, how to say that the Zhao Song court also had the grace of knowing him, and trained him from an ordinary soldier to the current general of Xiongzhou.

With gratitude, he can't do anything to surrender.

But now, someone is forcing him, forcing him to die. Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his brothers. He can't watch his own soldiers who have followed him for many years, just because Wang Pestle is such a villain, all of them die.

Now that he has killed Wang Pestle, presumably General Wang Xin will not spare himself, and the court will not spare himself if he knows about it, even if this is the case, does he have any other way but to do the opposite?

Some of his soldiers proposed to surrender to the Dragon Empire, and the other soldiers were blinded when they heard it, and then all their eyes were fixed on themselves, completely relying on the appearance of the general.

"Yes, go and join the Dragon Army, you haven't fought with the Dragon Army yet, your surrender is not called surrender, it is called surrender, it is called surrender, those are all meritorious people, and the Dragon Army will not do anything to you." At some point, three propagandists also came over and said loudly.

Originally, I wanted to tell the people in the city about some of the things that the Dragon Army did in Bazhou City, even if they completed the task, they would have an unexpected surprise. Now it's good, if they can convince the entire Xiongzhou army to surrender, then they will definitely be a great achievement, then judging from the reward of the dragon army, I am afraid that they may live a rich life after this incident.

The opportunity is in front of him, how could the three propagandists give up such an opportunity, one after the other, they kept saying the benefits of joining the Dragon Army over and over again. It also attracted a lot of pro-soldiers and people to come forward to participate in it.

Sun didn't stop him, he knew that this might be his only choice, if everything was as the three of them said, then there was nothing wrong with Toucheng Longjun. At least the people and army of the entire Xiongzhou City can be preserved.

As for himself, Sun did not intend to surrender.

Whether it is said that he is foolish and loyal, or that he has a brain tendon, as a Xiongzhou general appointed by the imperial court, he will never surrender to the Dragon Army. He was going to plead guilty to the king, and as for what he was going to do with himself at that time, he confessed it.

Don't think that Sun is stupid, at that time, under the influence of Zhongjun's thoughts, there was indeed no shortage of people with such psychological contradictions and equally contradictory behaviors.

In history, when any dynasty is about to be destroyed, there is never a shortage of its martyrs. These people may be mediocre in ability and mediocre in their performance, but they have an unshakable determination.

Sun You belonged to such a person, and when he saw Wang Pestle killed by his own soldiers, he had such a decision.

Early the next morning, his own soldiers found that their general had left the city at some point, leaving only one of his letters, which was addressed to the soldiers and civilians of Xiongzhou City. The gist of it is that if they think the dragon army can be trusted, they can choose to surrender. But as a general of Xiongzhou under the orders of the imperial court, he must not be surrendered. He would personally go to General Wang Xin to make an explanation, and there was a conclusion.

Sun You's movements were very fast, no one knew, he actually rode out of the city alone last night before closing the city gate, and then galloped all the way, and two days later came to Zhending Mansion and found General Wang Xin here.

Sun knelt on the ground again, told everything that happened in Xiongzhou City, including some of Wang Pestle's actions, and then lowered his head as if he was at his disposal.

"You... You bastard. Even if your own soldiers kill Wang Pestle by mistake, you can't surrender to the Dragon Army, let alone hang the seal and leave. Quick, you go back to Xiongzhou City right now, and hold it again. I will talk about you killing the king's pestle, but now you must defend the city." Wang Xin said angrily and anxiously.

As a general, leaving his own defense area without an order is a big crime in itself. Add to that the fact that he killed the Inspector Captain, and that's a crime of death. However, considering that it was wartime now, and Xiongzhou still had to rely on Sun to go back to defense, Wang Xin had no intention of punishing him now.

Sun was not disposed of, but was ordered to return to Xiongzhou City to make meritorious contributions. Considering that he didn't have much rest all the way, Wang Xin authorized him to rest in Zhending Mansion for a day, and then start to return early tomorrow morning.

And it was at this time that new news suddenly came, Xiongzhou City fell, or it can be said that it was peacefully liberated by the Dragon Army.

It turned out that on the afternoon of that day, one of the three propagandists borrowed a fast horse and went out of the city to find the dragon army. Luckily, I ran into the Dragon Army detachment patrolling outside, and then what happened in Xiongzhou City reached Lu Siqiao's ears.

Knowing that this was a good opportunity, Lu Siqiao ordered the headquarters of the Third Division of the Second Army of the People's First Group Army near Xiongzhou City to quickly go to Xiongzhou City to take over.

That is, on the afternoon of the day Sun left again, the dragon army came to the outside of the city, and was successfully welcomed into the city by the local soldiers and civilians.

The time was only half a day slower than Sun You, and when Sun You was still resting and sleeping in the city, the news that Xiongzhou City was taken by the Dragon Army also came. When General Wang Xin learned about it, he was naturally angry.

In a fit of anger, an order was issued, and Sun was grabbed from the bed again and beheaded directly for public display.

If he didn't kill Sun You before, it was because he considered that this person was still useful, and Xiongzhou City still needed him to defend. But now, even if the city is lost, this person is naturally useless, so what are you waiting for if you don't kill him.

Wang Xin also wanted to use this move to tell other generals in the north that if they dared to disobey the order, they would be punished by military law.

Xiongzhou City was also liberated peacefully, I heard that it was the general Sun who defended the city and was forced to rebel by the inspector captain Wang Pestle, and afterwards this Sun also went to General Wang Xin to ask for guilt, and then was beheaded.

The news spread like the wind in other cities, causing other generals to have different thoughts.

Some of the inspectors who have also been introduced to other cities are all soldiers.

They don't know if the generals in their area will also want to surrender to the dragon army and kill themselves. The timid ones simply left the city overnight, and the bolder ones stayed in the city and did not dare to point fingers at the city defense.

Li Kesheng's two suggestions for sending an inspection team and changing guards have become deaf ears - ornaments.

And in the absence of effective means to prevent it, the dragon army is overwhelming all the way.

Following Xiongzhou City, Rongcheng and Guixin City also quickly surrendered to the Dragon Army. The Baoding army fought a battle with the dragon army, but under the bombardment of the dragon artillery, it was almost a one-touch rout, and it was so defeated that it could not be defeated again.

In the blink of an eye, even a month's time was useless, and the dragon army made rapid progress to capture several cities, and defeated two regular armies in the north of the Zhao and Song dynasties in a row.

This is only the area east of the northern border, and the Ansu Army and Baozhou to the west of the northern border were also taken by the Third Army of the People's Army of the Dragon Empire attacking from here. So far, in one month, Zhao Song has lost about a quarter of its territory in the north.

The Zhao Song army lost the city and lost troops, on the other hand, the dragon army that came to attack, not only did not reduce the number of soldiers, but also increased the army of more than 100,000 new recruits.

Under such a bad situation, Wang Xin had to continue to send people to write rescue letters to Bianliang City, and at the same time urgently transfer the troops from all over to himself, he could see that if he continued to divide the troops, he would only be broken one by one, so it was better to concentrate his forces and see if he could have a hard time with the Dragon Army, and maybe there was a chance of victory.

......

Jiangning Mansion.

Ye Lengchan walked leisurely on the street, without any intention of concealing her whereabouts at all.

The reason for this is that:

is to lure Gao Fuhai out.

As the former Holy Son of White Lotus, Ye Lengchan knew very well that the disciples of White Lotus were underground rats, and as long as they wanted to hide, there were always many ways.

This is why he knew about the existence of White Lotus, but Zhao Song at that time had no way to deal with them.

After knowing the characteristics of the other party, Ye Lengchan thought of using herself as bait. She just wants to walk on the street openly and let everyone see her, and she believes that this will definitely attract Gao Fuhai to appear.

Of course, Ye Lengchan would not appear here alone, and one of them was the main force of the Longyi Guard led by Feng Meng.

Longyiwei is a department built by Su Shi to specialize in self-correction and self-inspection, and its main responsibility is to supervise the internal affairs of hundreds of officials.

It's just that the Dragon Empire is too big, whether it is the territory it controls or the officials it is subordinate to, its number is already a very large number.

According to the situation, Long Yiwei also had to expand again and again, and its number was constantly expanding. With the strong support of Su Shi, whether it is money or materials, the number of Long Yiwei has also expanded from more than 1,000 people at the beginning to more than 10,000 now, and this number is still increasing, and there is no intention of stopping.

Compared with the earliest Long Yin and the later Dragon Tooth, it is obvious that Su Shi wants to build Long Yiwei into the largest organization belonging to the imperial power.
