Zhao Zi settled down and ordered the army to cook meat tonight, let the soldiers eat some good food, and prepare to attack the city tomorrow morning. Then he rode a horse and took a few of his own soldiers out of the camp to observe the surrounding terrain.

Looking at the mountains and rivers that stretched for more than ten miles, majestic and magnificent, Zhao Zi shook his head. Although this level is a heroic pass and is divided into several sections, each of which has a central city, there is no defense to the south. Set up artillery tomorrow, and see how the party at the head of the city will defend it.

At this moment, I heard a horn suddenly sound on the mountain and river, which seemed to be a mournful roar, echoing in the mountains in the twilight.

Zhao Zi was taken aback and said, "Listening to this voice, it doesn't look like sending troops." What the hell are the party people doing? ”

Before the words fell, the city gate of the mountain and river pass in front of him slowly opened, and several party members rode horses out of the city. In front of the Song camp, there were already guards in the Song army who urgently mounted their horses and greeted them.

The party general crossed his hand: "Under is the party general Liang Buli, this time out of the city, tell the army, we are willing to surrender!" ”

The guard said: "The lord here will be Ye Langluo, what does he say?" ”

Liang Buli was silent for a while, and said: "Captain Ye knew that he was invincible, and he didn't want to commit treason, so he had committed suicide just now!" ”

The guard was taken aback: "Wild Langluo committed suicide?" This, this—wait here for me to come back!" ”

With that, the horse went to the camp. Zhao Zi watched from a distance, felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took his own soldiers back to the camp.

As soon as he entered the tent, the guard general came in and said, "Captain, the party generals in the city just now said that they are willing to surrender!" ”

Zhao Zi said: "If you don't descend early, you won't descend late, and the army will surrender as soon as it arrives!" The party is deliberately playing tricks on us! This time, if I don't kill the wild Langluo, how can I explain to the imperial court! You go and tell them that if you want to surrender, it's not that easy! ”

The guard said: "The party general who came out said that Ye Qi Langluo had just committed suicide. That's why they went out of the city and surrendered! ”

Zhao Zi was stunned for a moment: "Wild Langluo committed suicide? Why? He felt that he couldn't beat it, so he just dropped it. ”

The guards didn't know what to say, they just stood there.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zi said: "Go and bring the party generals who came to the handsome account!" ”

The guard forked his hand and walked out of the tent quickly.

Zhao Zi sat down in the handsome seat, and his thoughts were a little confused for a while. I ran for 300 miles, thinking that there would be a big battle with the party, but I didn't expect that before the battle, the party general committed suicide. What's going on? After so many years of fighting, this is the first time I have encountered it.

Not long after, Liang Buli and the others were taken to the handsome tent and saluted Zhao Zi below.

Zhao Zi said: "The right person will return, saying that it is a wild man who committed suicide, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Liang Buli crossed his hand and said: "Captain Hui, that's exactly the case." Taiwei came with a large army, and we knew that we were invincible and were willing to submit to the imperial court. ”

Zhao Zi said: "Okay, you know the righteousness, and it should have been like this a long time ago." Now that the decision has been decided, why did Ye Langluo commit suicide? ”

Liang Buli said: "Captain Yeqi felt that he was deeply favored by the emperor, and he was valued by the emperor and became an important minister of the imperial court. Today, he led the troops to defend the important land, but he couldn't lead the troops to fight to the death, and he felt ashamed of the first emperor, just-just-"

Zhao Zi didn't expect this reason, and was stunned for a while before he said: "But I don't want Captain Ye to be a good man, and he died for the country!" Take good care of the corpse of Captain Gu Ye, you should be buried thickly! The party is a small country, and there are still such loyal people! ”

Liang Buli listened, and the others couldn't help but lower their heads, feeling ashamed for a while. When Ye Langluo didn't die, everyone blamed him for getting in the way and couldn't surrender as soon as possible. Now that he's dead, he feels like he's really sorry for him.

Zhao Zi saw it and hurriedly said: "Captain Ye is thinking of Yuanhao's affection, and he is willing to die to die." You are different, you return to the court in time, so as not to cause the soldiers to suffer, and you are loyal servants of the court. I will send some generals into the city with you, and keep watch over them, and you will not be allowed to do anything in the city tonight. Tomorrow the army will enter the city to take over the defense, and from then on you will all be ministers of the court! ”

Liang Buli and the others hurriedly thanked him. Originally, as soon as Ye Langluo died, these generals who were about to surrender didn't know what to do for a while, and some people even didn't surrender and fought with the Song army to the end. Zhao Zi hurriedly spoke to appease, and they were relieved.

Seeing that it was not early, Zhao Zi sent a few generals under his command to return to the city with Liang Buli and others. Their decision to surrender was too hasty, and if they were not properly cared for, something would inevitably happen in the city tonight.

After sending a few people away, Zhao Zi summoned the generals in the army and told them about the surrender of the party. Finally, he said: "Ye Langluo committed suicide and martyrdom, and we should be buried in order to appease the hearts of the party and the people." But it can't be too ostentatious, so that the party members have a different mind.

This matter was too sudden, and all the generals were stunned, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Zhao Zi had already slowly reacted and understood Ye Qi Langluo's situation and why he did this. Zhao Zi led the army to the city, but the party actually had no way to fight. Tomorrow will attack the city, and it is likely to win the battle, and the party will not have the ability to fight back at all. Ye Langluo doesn't want to surrender, what else can he do but commit suicide? Forcing other generals out of the city will inevitably lead to opposition and loss of people's hearts. There is only one death, to martyr the country he doesn't want to give up. Up to now, this is the first party general dedicated to serving the country.

Seeing that everyone was talking endlessly, Zhao Zi said: "Tonight, you guys have a few drinks, and enter the city tomorrow!" Rendezvous with Yang Wenguang's headquarters in the north, for us, the party war is over. Since the Star Gorge came out of the Star Gorge in September, it has been more than four months now, and there is finally a result. ”

The crowd will cheer together. Zhao Zi ordered a fire to be set up in the tent, took a sheep and slaughtered it, brought wine in, and drank it with the generals. There are generals on duty in his army, and if they will not fight tomorrow, the generals will not be afraid of making mistakes, and they will open their minds one after another.

Liang Buli took the generals of the Song army into the city and said, "The body of Captain Ye Qi is parked in the official hall, do you want to take a look." ”

Shi Rongda, the general of the Song army, said: "I should go to a stick of incense." The captain led the way. ”

Several people entered the official hall together, and saw that the generals were surrounded inside, and in the middle was the body of Ye Qi Langluo. He had a white cloth on his body, his eyes wide open, and he was obviously unwilling. And all the generals wept and sat there to keep watch.

Liang Buli said: "Captain, look, there is the body of Captain Ye, and the generals will guard the spirit here." ”

Shi Rongda nodded: "It's a pity for Captain Yeqi." If it weren't for Yuan Hao's personal kindness and leading the army to submit to the imperial court, the imperial court would inevitably be reused. ”

After speaking, he saluted from afar and said, "When the army enters the city tomorrow, Taiwei Zhao will inevitably be buried thickly, so you don't need to be too sad." ”

Liang Buli thanked him, took Shi Rongda and the others out of the official hall, and arranged a room next to them for them to rest. Said: "Captain Ye died suddenly, and there was no backbone in the army for a while, so I will treat you slowly, all Haihan." ”

Shi Rongda didn't dare, and took a few entourages and went into the house to rest.

Sending Liang Buli away, Stas Rong said: "None of us have seen Captain Ye, although the possibility of this matter being false is extremely low, but we dare not slack off." Work hard tonight, take turns on duty, and don't have accidents. ”

Several people said yes together. At the moment, the personnel on duty were arranged, the time was set, and they took turns to be on duty.

Shi Darong said: "The people on duty should pay attention to the movement outside, and if there is an accident, immediately call everyone." We are here tonight just to prevent accidents, and not to make mistakes. ”
