Chapter 475: Riding alone to surrender to the Zhao army
The 200,000 Qin troops were difficult to cross in front of the Great Wall in the south, but it was much more convenient to come from the direction of Zhao Du from north to south.
"How many people are coming from the Qin army?" On the Great Wall in the south, Yan Ju asked the sentry who had returned from inquiring about the news.
"Not much, it looks like there are less than three thousand people, and its banner is also the banner of the Yulinwei in the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army." The sentry replied.
"Less than three thousand?" Yan Ju couldn't help frowning when he heard such a report, what does such behavior mean? Are they sure that they will surrender?
"Yes, never more than three thousand." The Sentinel replied in the affirmative.
"Interesting, there are only 3,000 people, I want to go and see for myself what the famous Qin State Protector Captain is going to do." Yan Ju said and walked out of the hall, Yang Ming only brought three thousand horsemen here, it seemed that he was sure that they would inevitably surrender, if it was understood in this way, this seemed to be ignoring them, but what if it meant something else? Does it also show Yang Ming's sincerity?
For a while, Yan Ju couldn't think of a reason, but since he couldn't think of it, he didn't have to think about it, anyway, he would soon know the answer.
Yan Ju, who walked out of the Great Wall with a team of soldiers and horses, was about to meet the Qin army, but there was a person beside him who said: "General, will there be anything wrong with us going to see the Qin army like this?" I heard that what Yang Ming of the Qin State is best at is taking his life before the battle. ”
"Do you think we need Yang Ming to use such a method? Don't take yourself too seriously. Yan Ju replied to the man, and directly urged him to step forward, it has come to this point, he really doesn't have the qualifications for Yang Ming's means.
Yan Ju and a group of personal soldiers did not go far before they met the Qin army who had rushed from the Zhao capital, and for a while, two local hostile soldiers and horses met on the plain.
"Yan Ziqi? It seems that Yan Ju, the main general of the Great Wall in the south, is in front of him. Yang Ming, who noticed the banner of the Zhao army, urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and said loudly: "Please General Yan come out and see you." ”
When Yang Ming's shout fell, Zhao Jun gave way to a road, and a forty or fifty-year-old short-bearded general urged his horse to the front of the battle, it was Yan Ju.
Yan Ju looked too young before the battle, so young that it was difficult to associate the person in front of him with the rumored person, but at this moment, Yan Ju naturally didn't care about anything else, but asked directly: "Why is Yang Hujun here?" ”
"Surrender, now that the King of Zhao has surrendered, he has also ordered the armies of the Zhao State to surrender, and the Zhao army of the Great Wall in the south should also surrender." Yang Ming said.
"That's it......" Yan Ju said subconsciously, but in the end he swallowed the words, and there were some words that he didn't want to say at this time.
But even if Yan Ju didn't finish his words, Yang Ming could hear what Yan Ju meant, so Yang Ming smiled indifferently and said: "I'm here to surrender, not to siege the city, why do I need to lead too many soldiers and horses, besides, if I bring too many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that these Zhao troops on the Great Wall in the south will not feel at ease even if they want to surrender." ”
Yan Ju heard this, his face was scornful, as Yang Ming said, if Yang Ming really led many Qin troops to come at this time, they would really have worries when they surrendered, after all, the matter of killing prisoners, the Qin army is really full of previous records, and in this matter, the Qin army has always had no reputation.
Yang Ming only brought his personal guards to let the Zhao army surrender, at least in terms of sincerity, it was guaranteed, but then again, this could not completely reassure the Zhao army, after all, once the Zhao army surrendered, Wang Qian's 200,000 army could cross the Great Wall in the south, in front of the 200,000 army, the size of the Zhao army was still not enough, but Yang Ming's attitude could always be reassuring.
Regarding the surrender, to be honest, Yan Ju didn't have much psychological burden, even King Zhao and Li Mu surrendered, why should he insist on serving the country loyally? He is not from Zhao State, he came to Zhao State as a Qi State to make money, and now he has blocked Wang Qian's 200,000 army outside the Great Wall in the south for two months, and he is already worthy of the share of money that King Zhao gave him, as for more? To be honest, even if he is loyal to the country, it will not be his turn.
"Yang Hujun laughed, but please also show the king's edict." Although I have made up my mind to surrender, I can't be too eager on the face, and I still have to do the superficial work that should be done, so the procedural things must not be sloppy.
In this regard, of course, Yang Ming had already prepared, and directly took out a silk book from his arms, and now even King Zhao and King Zhao's seal are in his hands, so it is naturally easy to get such a thing.
Yan Ju, who took the silk book, watched it seriously, and his serious appearance seemed to be afraid that there was a fake in it, but at this time, everything was just a formality, but since Yan Ju wanted this face, Yang Ming gave it to him, and in the case that the overall situation was difficult to shake, Yang Ming had always been very generous in terms of subsections.
Compared with taking the Great Wall in the south without blood, putting Wang Qian's 200,000 troops in, and cooperating with Yan Ju to save the last trace of face, is nothing.
"It's the king's seal." After a long time, Yan Ju put away the silk book.
"What questions do you have now?" Yang Ming asked.
"No, Yang Hujun, please come with me." Yan Judao, looking at Yang Ming, there was a lot of kindness in his eyes, after all, face is mutual, Yang Ming gave him face, and he is not a person who knows what to do, especially in this situation in front of him.
Under the leadership of Yan Ju, Yang Ming and the others soon came to the southern Great Wall, compared to the southern side of the Great Wall facing the Qin army's attack, the northern side of the Southern Great Wall looked much simpler, and could only be regarded as a permanent military camp, after all, the purpose of the Southern Great Wall was only to defend against enemies from the south, such as the earliest Wei State and the subsequent Qin State.
Under the leadership of Yan Ju, Yang Ming directly entered the Great Wall of Zhao Realm, as for the possible threats, it was not in Yang Ming's consideration at all, it all came to this point, among the Zhao army, there may be people who want to take the opportunity to kill Yang Ming, but there will only be more people who want to protect Yang Ming, those who are scattered and want to be loyal to the country, in front of the huge number of Zhao troops, after all, they are only a few.
Loyalty, will always be scarce, otherwise the rulers from ancient times to the present day will not be so loyal to the rulers, besides, in the current Zhao army, even if you want to be a loyal minister, you can't find an object that can be loyal, after all, even the king of Zhao has fallen, in this era, the concept of separating the king from the country has not yet been born, and the complex relationship is something that the vast majority of people in the world do not understand.
Under Yan Ju's summoning, all the generals in the Zhao army were summoned to the conference hall, and everyone who walked into the hall looked at Yang Ming who was sitting on the main seat, with a puzzled face, although there was speculation in their hearts, but more were still uncertain, and when Yan Ju introduced Yang Ming's identity to everyone, they all showed a look of shock.
Yang Ming actually appeared directly in front of them like this, in the midst of Zhao Jun, how dare he?
"If you have any objections, you can raise them." Yan Ju looked at his subordinates who were all shocked and reminded loudly.
Even if you have an objection, you don't dare to raise it at this time, right? Yan Ju's attitude couldn't be seen at this time, in the midst of a person's face-to-face, Yang Ming said directly: "Qin's attack on Zhao this time is just to destroy the Zhao State, not to destroy the Zhao people, as a country, the Zhao State no longer exists, but the people who live in the territory of the Zhao State still need to live." “
Yang Ming's words are alternative, at least in this era, they are indeed very alternative, but among the generals of Zhao Jun, after the initial confusion, they feel that the more they taste, the more interesting they are.
The reason why they hesitated to surrender was not because they were already loyal to Zhao and King Zhao to the point that they could not care about life and death, but because of the murderous name of the Qin army, the rumors of the country of tigers and wolves of Qin made them worried, but Yang Ming's words directly broke the concerns in their hearts.
Yes, what the Qin State wants to destroy is only the Zhao State, not the Zhao people, I heard that the original Zhao people in Taiyuan and Yecheng, which were captured by the Qin army a few years ago, are not also living well now? It's just that he has changed from the original Zhao people to Qin people.
People are very good at persuading themselves, especially when they already have a tendency in their hearts, and they will find all kinds of reasons for themselves to convince themselves of what they want to believe.
These generals at this time were.
"The last will come." Just when everyone was still thinking about how to save the last trace of face to surrender, someone had already walked out of the column directly, came to Yang Ming's face, and knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Ming.
"It's a pity that he was the first to be preempted, it's really unseemly, wasn't he the loudest in the past to be loyal to the country? Now it's so crisp. Everyone who is not strangers to each other subconsciously thought that they were ready to follow closely, since they couldn't grab the first face, they couldn't be remembered by Yang Ming because of hesitation.
Just when everyone was about to take action, the person who was supposed to kneel on the ground to express his allegiance suddenly jumped up, and in the shocked and dazed looks of everyone, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed at Yang Ming.
What does he want to do? Will you put us to death?
It's just that although the jet-black dagger can be said to be bloody and seals the throat, when it landed three feet in front of Yang Ming, it couldn't move an inch, and the frightened people saw that around Yang Ming's body, there was already a layer of aura around him.
The assassin had done his best, but in front of him was a world that could not be crossed.
"Bold."
"Take this man."
In the crowd of people who shouted and pounced on the assassin's deeds, Yang Ming directly slapped out a palm, and the surging palm force crossed the void, knocking the assassin away in an instant, and when the burly body flew upside down, it suddenly disintegrated, and in a bloody color, it was a frightened crowd.
