Chapter 491: 300,000 troops unarmed

After the defeat in the Battle of Hutuo River, on the eighth day of December, the Khitan soldiers and horses surrounded the Later Jin army, and the 300,000 Jin army was completely cut off from the outside world, and the food in the army was about to run out.

233 secretly summoned back again, saying that Yelu Deguang personally told him: "Zhao Yanshou's prestige has always been shallow, and he can't be the emperor of the Central Plains. If General Du can really lead the army to surrender, the future emperor of the Central Plains must be General Du. ”

Du Chongwei was overjoyed and plotted with Li Shouzhen, Song Yanyun and others overnight to surrender to the Khitan.

On the tenth day of December, Du Chongwei laid out heavy troops around the military tent, summoned all the generals to come to the meeting, and after the people came together, Du Chongwei suddenly took out the table of surrender that had been prepared to show them, and asked them to sign, although many of the generals were unwilling, but how dare not obey, the slightest objection, they were pushed out and beheaded, and the people were received under the command of Du Chongwei's cronies, and three generals were beheaded in a row.

At this meeting, Huangfu Yu and Fu Yanqing were too seriously injured and had a high fever that did not go away, and they were still in a coma and did not attend.

Seeing that all the generals had signed their names on the table, Du Chongwei immediately ordered Gao Xun (Note 1) to bring the table of surrender to the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang. Yelud was overjoyed and immediately sent an edict to comfort Du Chongwei and other generals.

On the same day, Du Chongwei ordered 300,000 troops to line up outside the camp, and the Jin army, which was angry, thought that they could finally fight a bloody battle with the Khitans, and they were very enthusiastic, but Du Chongwei said: "The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, this commander knows your desire to fight, and this commander is the same as you, with a passion for serving the country, but unfortunately he has no power to return to heaven." Ben Shuai was only afraid that he was going to disappoint everyone, and after discussing with the generals, he thought that the only way now was to want to surrender to Khitan!

The defeat in this war really cannot be blamed on the soldiers who fought in the war, we have done our best, and it is not the fault of the war.

Liang Hanzhang died in Yingzhou; General Wang Qing died in battle on the north bank of the Hutuo River; Fu Yanqing and Huangfu met two generals who are still unconscious; Ben Shuai secretly sent General Wang Chongyin to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to come to the rescue, but he was also ambushed on the way and the whole army was annihilated, and General Wang Chongyin was also killed in battle; the guerrilla attack led by General Li Fengyun was also defeated, and General Li Fengyun did not know where to go.

The fault is only in the court, the fault is only in the court traitors are rampant, some people should cooperate with the outside, every move of our army, let the Khitan people know clearly, obviously the marshal is handsome, but there are traitors everywhere to hinder, one by one secret decrees, so that it is difficult for the marshal to let go of a fight.

In the thousands of expeditions, there are even more thieves of Qianniuwei who secretly poisoned Ben Shuai and wanted to put Ben Shuai to death, brothers, soldiers, you say, how to fight this battle called Ben Shuai?

Now, our 300,000-strong army is besieged by the Hutuo River, the grain route has been cut off, the back road has also been cut off, there is not much food in the army, and we have no way out. For the sake of today's plan, Ben Shuai can only find this way of survival for the soldiers.

These days, Ben Shuai has been tossing and turning, and he can't sleep at night, and now this result, how can Ben Shuai be willing? Whenever he thinks of making such a decision, Ben Shuai's heart aches. I think I Du Chongwei has worked hard all his life, half a lifetime of fame, and he will be ruined from now on, who can be willing?

However, compared with the survival of the 300,000 army, compared with the lives of all the soldiers, what is this little effort and prestige of this commander?

I, Du Chongwei, can only ask everyone, for the sake of the lives of 300,000 robes, stop resisting and lay down your arms. ”

After that, Du Chongwei hid his face and cried.

Li Shouzhen took a step forward and sighed: "What Du Dashuai said is the truth, and he can also testify." All the brothers, Du Dashuai and the general, have fought hard with the Khitans, and have also killed many Khitans, if there is a glimmer of hope, how can we surrender to the enemy?

However, the will of heaven does not allow it, the traitor is in charge, and there is nowhere to throw his blood.

That's it, that's it, there are only wrong courtiers in the world, so there are people who do wrong?

Blame me for Li Shouzhen's inopportune birth, Li Guang is difficult to seal, he can't step on Yin Mountain, he can make a meritorious contribution, and if he is infamous, he will have to bear it with Li Dashuai!"

After that, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and washed his face with tears.

For a time, the 300,000 soldiers of the Jin army gritted their teeth, all of them were sad, and their cries were everywhere, and they could still be heard from miles away.

On this day, 300,000 Jin troops unloaded their armor and lowered their flags to fill the camp.

In order to appease the newly surrendered 300,000 Jin troops, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang sent Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, to the Houjin camp in ochre robes to comfort the soldiers.

Seeing that the morale of the Jin army was depressed and everyone was in danger, Zhao Yanshou pointed to the ochre robe on his body and said loudly: "Soldiers, I, Zhao Yanshou, have been like you, and I once fought the bloody battlefield for Li Congke, the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, hoping to glorify the ancestors and glorify the lintel through military exploits." It's a pity that, like you, you have never met a Ming monarch, resulting in the capture of Yelu Khan.

In this world, hard work is very important, but hard work alone is far from enough, and sometimes, choice is ten times more important than hard work. Loyalty cannot come without a price. There is a way that a scholar dies for a confidant, a woman is a person who pleases herself, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, a good minister chooses the lord to do things, and a person who knows the times is a handsome man.

To be able to meet Yelu Khan and get the appreciation of Yelu Khan, just like Jiang Ziya is to King Wen of Zhou, and Guan Zhong is to Duke Huan of Qi, so that he can display his ambition and soar to the sky.

Yelu Khan is a martial artist, a virtuous corporal, and a meritocracy, he is really an emperor through the ages, a rare Ming monarch in the world, as long as everyone is loyal to the Great Khan, soaring and prosperous, and entering the phase, it is just around the corner! The ochre robe of longevity is also prepared for you. The day of my Zhao Yanshou is your tomorrow. ”

He also passed on the holy metaphor of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, named Du Chongwei as the Taifu, Li Shouzhen as the Situ, and Zhao Yanshou personally put on the ochre robe given by Yelu Deguang for Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen. The rest of the generals, after meeting Yerod Light, will each have a reward.

After pacifying the army, Zhao Yanshou sent an order for Du Chongwei to lead the army to the Khitan camp and see Yelu Deguang.

At this time, Fu Yanqing was still in a coma, and Huangfu Yu had already woken up.

When Huangfu heard that the 300,000-strong army had surrendered to the Khitan, he spurted out three mouthfuls of blood and wept bitterly. He didn't expect that he had worked hard to escape from the north bank of the Hutuo River, but he still ended up being a prisoner of the Khitans.

However, he also understood that at this time, the general situation had passed, and he was powerless to return to heaven, and all his soldiers and horses had been taken away by Li Shouzhen, and what could he do as a general who was seriously wounded, had no soldiers and no power, and was closely monitored? If he was not Li Shouzhen's favorite general, and he had his friend An Xianqi to protect him, Du Chongwei still needed him and Fu Yanqing to calm the army's mind, but I was afraid that he and Fu Yanqing had already been secretly executed by Du Chongwei.

After listening to Li Shouzhen's speech in front of the army, the emperor's heart was like ashes, and others could say such things, Li Shouzhen should not have been! Emperor Shi Chonggui's kindness and trust in Li Shouzhen could be said to be irreparable.

Suddenly, a wave of anger surged from Huangfu Yu's heart, Li Shouzhen's kindness to him, he was difficult to repay in this life, and his Huangfu Yu was able to get to today's status, which can be said to be all thanks to Li Shouzhen. If Li Shouzhen wanted to rebel, Huangfu Yu would not hesitate too much and would rebel with him, but Li Shouzhen asked him to surrender to the Khitans with him, and Huangfuyu felt that the hurdle in his heart could not be overcome no matter what.

"Give me the armor!" Huang Fuyu shouted loudly, "I will go to the Khitan camp with General Li Shouzhen." ”

"General, your wounded ......," the military medical officer cautioned.

"What nonsense!" Huang Fu Yu glared suddenly.

The medical officer sighed in his heart, and didn't dare to say more, yes, today is a good opportunity to get a reward, and if he misses today's reward, I don't know how long it will take in the future, this fierce general will fight to the death on the battlefield, isn't it just for the glory and wealth of these four words? Who really wants to do it for the Central Plains and the people? I only pity the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
