The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, Du Fuwei ran to the front camp with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Last night, the Tang army did come again, and there were quite a few soldiers coming, and there were about 50,000 or 60,000 people. These soldiers lined up a phalanx outside the camp in a dignified manner, the blazing torches illuminated the front of the camp like day, with the help of telescopes can be seen clearly, by no means a bluff, but these Tang soldiers did not attack the camp at all, they waited for the Sui army to see clearly, they put out the torches, just like that, beating gongs and drums outside an arrow, when you think they are gone, and then light the torches again, let you see again, as if for fear that he does not know that the Tang army is outside, under the black light and blindness, and dare not send troops without authorization, For fear of falling for the tricks of the Tang Army, he was stalemate until dawn. Now that it's dawn, Duvowe wants to see what they do.

"What kind of fame is Li Xiaogong? Did the Tang army run away? Du Fuwei asked Kan Ling angrily.

"It's still there." Kan Ling had a strange expression on his face, "Tang Jun is still sleeping." ”

"What? Sleeping under our noses? Duvoy's eyes bulged out, and when he ran up to look at it, he almost bit off his tongue.

As Kan Ling said, except for some Tang troops patrolling the periphery, the rest sat in the landlord, staggering and sleeping back to back.

This......

Duvowe was stunned.

He swore that he had never seen such a bold enemy in his life, even if it was a bandit, he was more serious and responsible than the Tang Army in front of him.

What the hell is this for?

Don't want to live anymore? Or are you getting impatient to live?

At this moment, a general who did not carry a weapon rode out, slowly came to the camp gate, ignored the arrows and crossbows pointed at him, and walked directly outside the gate in full view of everyone, saluted with his fists, and said loudly: "In Xia Lu Zushang, please General Du to speak." ”

"I am Duvoy!" Du Fuwei also admired this person's courage, and said politely: "What does General Lu have to say?" ”

"On the order of King Jing, I led 80,000 soldiers to surrender, and General Wanwang Du accepted it." Lu Zushang endured the sense of shame and said loudly.

“……”

In an instant, Sui Ying was dead silent.

All of them, including Duvoy, were shaken.

Eighty thousand soldiers in hand? Even surrendered?

It was so unexpected.

"Is that true?" Long? Duvowe came back to his senses.

Lu Zushang said: "It's true. ”

"Can General Lu enter the camp for a while?"

"Yes."

When the camp gate opened, Lu Zushang walked in generously? Du Fuwei under Kan Leng's escort? He greeted Lu Zushang and asked, "Why is that?" ”

"So far? Does General Du feel the need to fight again? Lu Zushang didn't hide it, and told the matter as it was.

Du Fuwei and Kan Ling looked at each other.

Li Xiaogong actually ran away? Dumped the tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed to the Great Sui?

Duvowe groaned slightly? said: "I don't want to be ruined, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on until now, but this matter still needs to be decided by the commander of our army, and I ask General Lu to go back and restrain the soldiers of the Tang Army?" Prepare to accept the co-optation of the Great Sui. ”

"Whoa." Lu Zushang answered? Left the camp.

Soon!

Yang Shanhui, who received the eagle letter, came with troops and formally accepted Lu Zushang's surrender.

Although the surrender came relatively suddenly for the Tang army, it did not resist and resist, on the contrary, when they heard that there was no need to fight with the Sui army? Bursts of cheers erupted.

In the final analysis, is it because Li Yuan's background in Jingzhou is too shallow? Not in place. Not long after these soldiers became the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, they sent Li Yuan to the battlefield one after another? And every major war ended in a crushing defeat, failing to achieve any tangible results. Lost a lot? The officers and men of the Tang Army who could not see the slightest hope were war-weary and war-fearful? And Li Yuan didn't appease people's hearts? So much so that these Jingzhou soldiers, whose will to war has long disappeared, have long been unwilling to die for the 'unkind' Li Tang Dynasty.

……

Yang Shanhui rode on a war horse and watched the soldiers with dozens of generals, while Wang Xiongdan was responsible for leading the army to collect the armor piled up in front of the camp.

Looking at the honest and well-behaved Tang Army soldiers, Yang Shanhui said with emotion: "I, Yang Shanhui, have also fought countless battles, and I can barely be called experienced in a hundred battles, but today is the first time I have seen the scene of seventy or eighty thousand soldiers honestly surrendering to the enemy. Look at what kind of has Li Yuan done since he joined the main Guanzhong? Spread a map on the table, and then kill it in an all-round way, and I did it with Da Sui and Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, and Zhu Cang at one time, and I didn't even have a specific goal, and as a result, my troops were scattered and I hit a wall everywhere. After escaping from Guanzhong to Jingzhou, he still doesn't have a long memory, so let's do it in the east and west, look at him, what has he done? first fought with Xiao Mill, but before he annihilated Xiao Mill, he put down this side, and went to Wang Shichong with a hot head, and lost the buffer between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then fought with us...... Except for the enemies all over the world, nothing was caught. What happened to Jingzhou by him? Now that he is dying and sinful, it is no wonder that these soldiers refuse to die for him. ”

Du Fuwei couldn't help but be speechless.

Li Yuan, who went down to Hedong and occupied Guanzhong, was indeed overinflated, but after the defeat and fled to the south, Li Yuan did not want to fight, but had to fight, if he didn't fight desperately, how could he be the opponent of the Great Sui who could only be Yizhou and half of Jingzhou? Only by taking advantage of Yang Tong's dedication to the outside world and making a new situation before he can free up his hands to clean up the princes of the Central Plains, can he gain a firm foothold, otherwise, what is the difference between it and now?

Li Yuan's strategy is actually not wrong, the fault is that he chose the wrong direction of development, if he wholeheartedly engaged in Xiao Milling and Lin Shihong, maybe the south of the Yangtze River would be his, but he just went to get Wang Shichong as a natural barrier, and as a result, Wang Shichong was finished, and Li Shimin was also beaten to exhaustion, and finally cheapened the Great Sui in vain.

But thinking about it carefully, Du Fuwei felt a little lucky, fortunately Li Yuan got the wrong direction, otherwise, he Du Fuwei was very likely to accept Li Yuan's surrender and become the king of Wu of Li Tang, if he really wanted to do that, he would have become a pile of loess a long time ago, "Dashuai, there will be something unknown in the end." ”

"What?" Yang Shanhui asked.

Although Li Xiaogong escaped, his ultimate goal is Xiangyang, Xiangyang already has about 20,000 garrisons, if we release Li Xiaogong's 20,000 or 30,000 people, then Xiangyang has about 50,000 elite soldiers. If you defeat it, the difficulty will at least double. Glancing at Yang Shanhui, Du Fuwei continued: "According to the last general's opinion, although he has been gone for three or four hours, with the speed of our cavalry, he may be able to catch up with ....... ”

"Li Xiaogong, he can't escape." Yang Shanhui smiled and said, "We just need to wait for the news." ”

"Is the marshal talking about General Luo?" Duvowe was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, General Luo has been waiting for him yesterday."
