Tang Jiusheng captured Hou Jingxian before the battle, and had people tie him up and escort him to the yamen hall of the county guard's mansion. Tang Jiusheng sat behind the public case, the generals were separated, Tang Jiusheng was not angry and arrogant, he raised the shocking wood, slapped it heavily on the public case, and shouted: "Hou Jingxian, this king is here, many famous generals have come to surrender, how dare you not surrender?"

Hou Jingxian twisted his face to the side angrily, and said sharply: "Tang Jiusheng, if you want to kill, kill you, if I Hou someone frowns, I won't be a hero!"

Tang Jiusheng suddenly laughed, stood up from behind the public case, stepped forward to untie Hou Jingxian with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General Hou, this king has long heard that you are a rare general, so he has the heart to accept you under his command." Since the general is full of military books, he must be a loyal and righteous person, and Niu Mandi is a thief of the big business, and your General Hou should protect the big business and not the cattle and the land!"

Ning Chenggang also stepped forward excitedly, and said loudly: "Yes, you Hou Jingxian is also a man, and you want to protect the safety of the people, not to help the abuse! You see, since this cow is full of economic envoys, how many people in our Jiannan Province have been displaced and fallen into the grass? I had no choice, but I was also wearing official clothes, and I had to work hard under him, and now that King Wei is here, why don't you follow King Wei to do something big that is beneficial to the people?"

Hou Jingxian pondered for a long time, and looked embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to surrender, it's just that my family is still detained in Luye City by Lord Niu, and if I surrender here, my family will be worried about their lives, what can I do?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled slightly, "General Hou doesn't need to be anxious, I have already sent Brother Xiaowei to Luye City to pick up your family! In a few days, you will be able to reunite with your family!"

Hou Jingxian was overjoyed when he heard this, so he stepped forward and knelt down to worship Tang Jiusheng, and said loudly: "Hou Jingxian, the general of the defeated army, thank the Wei Wang for his grace of not beheading, and the Wei Wang for a thousand years old!"

Tang Jiusheng picked up Hou Jingxian with a smile, looked around, and said loudly: "There is nothing to be happy about when this king gets Jianzhou, but now it is the most joyful thing to get General Hou, General Ning, Captain Zheng, and all the talents here!"

Above the hall of the county guard yamen, Ning Chenggang took the lead in shouting, "Wei Wang Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" A deafening cry sounded in the hall, almost about to lift the roof of the lobby.

Tang Jiusheng asked with a smile: "General Hou, the soldiers under your command refuse to surrender, and you have to work hard to persuade them!"

Hou Jing nodded first and said: "Okay, don't worry, the last general will go to persuade them!" Hou Jing first went out of the yamen of the county guard mansion and came to the school field to make a speech. It turned out that the soldiers of Jianzhou still had some dissatisfaction, and seeing that the soldiers of Luye City were willing to surrender, they were also more or less affected.

There were still some people who were not convinced, and said some cool words below, Hou Jingxian asked loudly: "Everyone, when it comes to the famous generals who lead the troops in Jiannan Dao, I, Hou someone, can be regarded as the number one, and even I have been demoted, what else do you have to hesitate? King Wei was edicted to come to the governor of Jiannan

Soldiers and horses, control the army and the people, is supported by the imperial court, if we do not obey the imperial court, will we continue to be obsessed with loyalty and anti-thieves?

Immediately, a junior colonel under his command stood up, "We are willing to follow the general to submit to King Wei and be loyal to the imperial court!" On the school field, thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted King Wei Chitose.

Tang Jiusheng ordered a banquet to be held to suppress Hou Jingxian and celebrate the generals. Everyone gathered together and staggered. During the banquet, Hou Jingxian asked with a smile: "Whose idea was it to divide troops into three ways to rob my camp last night?"

The fat man smiled and pointed at Fan Chenglin, Fan Chenglin stood up with a smile and said, "It's not a talented idea!" General Hou, I know that you are a famous general in Jiannan, let's not fight or know each other, and we will do it first as respect!" After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all. Hou Jingxian saw that he was a weak scholar and even knew the art of war, so he drank the wine with a smile, and both of them showed each other the bottom of their cups and laughed with each other.

Yulong Xingkong stepped forward with a smile and raised his glass and said, "In the next Yulong Xingkong, I salute General Hou for a cup." Last night I made a big circle in your camp tent, and I gave you the bottom of the ambush you arranged in the Chinese military tent!"

Hou Jingxian was also surprised, there were people in his barracks, not only himself, but even the dozens of personal soldiers around him didn't even notice it at all, this person's ability is not high, so he admired Yulong Xingkong very much in his heart, and the two of them also toasted. Ning Chenggang and other veteran generals of the Yamen also stepped forward to toast, and Hou Jingxian did them one by one.

There was a very good atmosphere in the banquet, and everyone frequently toasted Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng's heart was happy, and those who came were not afraid, and they all had a dry mouth. The night was drunk, and everyone dispersed happily.

The next morning, Tang Jiusheng convened everyone to discuss in the second hall of the county guard yamen, Fan Chenglin said with a smile: "Everyone, Ye Tengjiao has lost Jianzhou, and now even General Hou has led the army to obey the prince anyway, Niu Mandi will never give up on this, and will definitely raise troops again to fight for Jianzhou, Jianzhou has been decided, the people's hearts are not attached, and everyone needs to work together to keep Jianzhou!"

Ning Chenggang nodded and said: "What Fan Gongzi said is very true! Now that Brother Hou and I have returned to the prince, it will definitely be a big blow to the morale of Niu Mandi, and when he sends troops to the city again, Brother Hou and I will go to the city to persuade them to surrender, although they may not surrender, but it will also inevitably hit their morale, which is in line with the art of war that the heart is the top and the city is the bottom!"

The fat man laughed and said, "Okay, Lao Ning, fat man, I thought you were a martial artist who could only dance with guns and sticks, but you still have such a scheming and you can use tricks!"

Ning Chenggang patted his chest with a smile and quipped: "Fat man, you are too underestimated, I have also drunk ink in Hedong Academy for a few years!"

Xiahou Lingyu snorted and laughed, "No wonder General Ning was born so black, it turned out to be caused by drinking too much ink!

The fat man shook his head and said: "If the cattle are full of land and send troops again, the fat man will rush out of the city to give him a dismount, so that he will not dare to underestimate the Weiwang Mansion, and dare not underestimate these elite soldiers and fierce generals in our city!"

He Changhu was captured by Zheng Chongsheng in front of the battle the night before, he felt that he had no face, and he couldn't stand up to speak, and he heard the fat man say that he wanted to give those soldiers from Luye City a dismount, and he also nodded in agreement, and shouted that if there were really soldiers and horses from Luye City, he was willing to take the lead.

The city began to prepare the equipment for defending the siege, not to mention the bows and crossbows, and prepared some rolling wood and stones and other things, Fan Chenglin sent meteor scouts and horses to sentry around, and four days later, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came from Luye City, blocking the four gates of Jianzhou City. The hearts of the people who had just settled down in Jianzhou City were a little panicked again. Fortunately, Fan Chenglin had an idea and asked the storyteller to tell more stories about Tang Jiusheng's capture of the enemy and the thief in the bookstore and teahouse.

Soon, everyone in Jianzhou City knew that the extremely brave King Wei was sitting in the city, so it seemed that the thieves besieging the state city outside the city were not so important. In the bookstore and teahouse, there were listeners everywhere, and Tang Jiusheng's deeds soon spread throughout Jianzhou City.

Ning Chenggang, Hou Jingxian, Zheng Zheng and others went to the city separately and tried to persuade the soldiers of Luye City to surrender, but they were shot back by random arrows without accident, but the morale of the soldiers besieging the city was indeed hit to a certain extent. Tang Jiusheng had people write thousands of letters of persuasion, and when it was dark, he used a bow and crossbow to shoot the letters of persuasion into the enemy's military camp on the opposite side.

As a result, it was not surprising that the hearts of the rebels immediately fluctuated, and the generals of Luye City had to forcibly search the camp, search out those persuasion letters and burn them, and also beat some soldiers who collected the persuasion letters, which was even more complaining.

He Changhu secretly thought to himself that tens of thousands of troops had come to Luye City to surround Jianzhou, and it was not a way to hide in the city! Therefore, He Changhu asked Tang Jiusheng for an order to go out of the city to meet those elite soldiers from Luye City for a while. Tang Jiusheng didn't allow it, but He Changhu insisted on going, and also made a military order to Tang Jiusheng, saying that he promised to kill the generals and capture the flag.

Tang Jiusheng couldn't resist him, so he had to give him a thousand men and horses, and let the fat man assist him in the back. He Changhu happily lit up a thousand men and horses, and killed out of the east gate, to fight to the death with the thieves from Luye City.

Jiang Fatzi stood aside with a sledgehammer and watched the enemy sweep the formation, He Changhu picked up the machete and rode out of the battle, wanting to find the general and lieutenant on the opposite side to learn from each other. There was also an unconvinced captain on the opposite side, named Lin Beihe, who came to fight He Changhu with a flower gun. The two sides fought in front of the battle, and after thirty rounds, He Changhu beheaded Lin Beihe with a drag knife. The defeated army in Luye City was in chaos, and they rushed back to Dazhai to ask Huo Yunsheng, the commander of the army, to avenge Lin Beihe.

On the side of Jianzhou City, a sergeant immediately went back to report that it was Captain He who hacked the enemy general Lin Beihe to death in front of the battle, and the people of the entire county guard were overjoyed when they heard this, and Fan Chenglin ordered someone to give He Changhu a credit on the merit book.

When Huo Yunsheng heard that Lin Beihe had died, he was furious, hurriedly put on his armor, lifted the Xuanhua axe and left the camp to avenge Lin Beihe. He Changhu cut down Lin Beihe, and was showing off his strength in front of the battle, but saw a person riding a white horse and carrying a Xuanhua axe rushing over on the opposite side. The two men reported each other's names and official positions, and began to slash each other in front of the battle, big swords against big axes, and hovered like marquees in front of the battle.
