After listening to the envoy's words, Liu Guoneng couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Liu Guoneng laughing so proudly, the envoy became more and more frightened, he looked at Liu Guoneng's rough face timidly, his lips squirmed, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Liu Guoneng stopped laughing, looked down at the timid envoy from his horse, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and said lightly: "Do you think that the current Wang Deren still has any qualifications to negotiate terms with our army?" Our army promised not to attack the city again, not to use swords, not to slaughter the people, and to spare the lives of him and his soldiers, which is already very merciful and tolerant. Isn't that enough for him to have this prerequisite? ”

"Lord Liu, this, this is not what I mean, General Wang means, it is ......" The name came to make a look of embarrassment, but he couldn't reply.

Liu Guoneng glanced at him, then sneered and continued: "Of course this town knows what Wang Deren means. Of course, General Wang was able to wake up and do it in time, avoiding a disaster of swords, which is also a great achievement. The town is willing to fulfill its previous promise, not to investigate its previous crimes, and to surrender to the soldiers anyway, and also have their own rewards. For General Wang himself, the town will also immediately report to the Tang King, so that the Tang King will reward him with relevant promotions, and he will never lose the credit of his surrender anyway. ”

"Oh, good, good, Mayor Liu's words, the conditions are already very good. General Wang must be very happy to get such a promise from Mayor Liu. Then go back now and report to General Wang. The man was pale and sweaty on his forehead, but he nodded his head again and again, and sneered.

"Well, then there you go. You tell him that Ben will only give Wang Deren half an hour, and if he refuses to open the door within the time limit, then don't blame the town for being ruthless. Liu Guoneng smiled slightly and replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, I'll rush back to report now, and please rest assured that Mayor Liu." The head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after giving a salute, he hurried back.

When he entered the city, the messenger immediately came to Wang Deren's room, and he hurriedly reported to Wang Deren in a hurry. After listening to the envoy's narration, Wang Deren's face was very complicated, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"! With such conditions, it's not like talking about the difference, it's really shameful to kill! Alas, his mother knew this earlier, why bother in the first place! ”

Wang Deren slammed his fist on his thigh, and paced back and forth in the room with a look of chagrin, like a trapped beast.

Seeing that Wang Deren seemed to be remorseful in this form, the envoy was not anxious, so he carefully reminded again: "General Wang, the Tang army only gave us half an hour, and asked the general to make a quick decision, don't delay." ”

Wang Deren's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at the envoy fiercely, which frightened the envoy subconsciously trembling.

He came to the window mechanically, looked out blankly for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Alas, Hugh Ti. Now that his mother's situation is stronger than others, he can't help but obey him. Passing on our military order, the whole army unloaded its armor and abandoned the army, and the whole army assembled in the square in the city, and then opened the city gate and went out of the city to surrender to the Tang army anyway. ”

"Yes, yes!"

After a while, the white flags were hung high at the head of Huangpi County, and the four city gates were also opened together.

Wang Deren, who was dressed in arrows and armor, led a group of generals and officials in the city, and slowly walked out of the north gate of Huangpi City with his head down, and after all of them left the city, they knelt down to the ground together.

Seeing Wang Deren leading the crowd to surrender, Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army, and Weng Zhiqi, the deputy marshal, surrounded by a group of guards, slowly rode out of the rear of the Tang Army and came to stand not far from Wang Deren.

Wang Deren, who was kneeling on the ground, looked ashamed, and didn't dare to look at the two of them, he gritted his teeth tightly, suppressed the feelings of shame in his heart, took a long breath, and bowed down again: "Sinner Wang Deren, thank you Tang Jun for not killing!" The criminal minister is ignorant, and the whole army is too late anyway, please punish the general! ”

The other subordinate generals, seeing that the main general Wang Deren bowed his head, did not hesitate anymore, and immediately followed Wang Deren and knelt down to pay homage.

"Alas, General Wang, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" Liu Guoneng looked sorry, looked down at Wang Deren who was kneeling down on the horse, and said: "I am the general under the Tang King, and Liu Guineng, the mayor of the sixth town, is also, and the one next to me is Weng Zhiqi, the deputy mayor of the eighth town of the Tang Army. ”

Wang Deren was ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head, but just bowed his hand and said, "General Liu, don't say anything more." Under the stupidity, there are eyes that do not know Mount Tai, and they want to compete with your army, today's situation can be described as self-inflicted humiliation, and how to regret it! This defeat is coming, and there is no face at all, how General Liu wants to deal with us, but depending on the disposition, there is no other word in the next decision. ”

"General Wang, you and all the generals should stand up and talk. Now that our army has allowed you to surrender, this previous conflict and all kinds of unhappiness can be revealed. Liu Guoneng was inexplicably happy in his heart, he smiled coldly, gently raised the horsewhip, and motioned for him to get up and speak.

Wang Deren's face turned red, and after he stood up, the rest of the generals and others also stood up silently, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Wang Deren stood up, forced himself to squeeze out a smile, and sighed: "I am ashamed, I have once again thanked General Liu for his kindness, your army is willing to accept us, regardless of the past, such leniency, then how can we not put our hearts in our hearts and swear allegiance to death?" From now on, we are willing to work under your army's tent to drive and do our best. ”

When Liu Guoneng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he kept sighing in his heart.

Wang Deren, who started from a rogue, first voted for Zuo Liangyu, and then came to himself, he really has the best potential to be a slave with three surnames, he is afraid that he said these words to Ningnan Hou Zuo Liangyu that day, of course, there is no need to pursue these things now.

Liu Guoneng despised it in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he admired it, and he said in a deep voice: "Very good, General Wu's statement is very much in line with the heart of this general." Rest assured, since our army can accommodate the surrender of others, there is no doubt about it. As long as you serve faithfully, how can you not trust? However, you also need to know that our Tang Army can not blame the past, but it will never allow changes in the future. After coming to our army this time, you must be loyal to us wholeheartedly, and there must be no repetition, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless, and the Tang King will not be spared! ”

Wang Deren's heart froze, and he responded urgently: "This is natural, why should the general worry about it." We are so grateful that the generals of the defeated army will be allowed to be taken in by the Tang army, and they dare to disagree again. The subordinates of our army let your army arrange the distribution, and they all obeyed their orders. I also hope that King Tang and General Liu can use the materials regardless of their previous suspicions, and find a way out for the soldiers of our army, so that they will be at ease. Here, let me thank General Liu on their behalf. ”

Liu Guoneng nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, what you say is very good." In our Tang army, it has never been allowed to become a mountain, which is a big taboo. Your troops and horses, since they are like-minded, naturally our army will be completely reorganized and reorganized, and the generals will lead the troops and soldiers to find their own way, and you can rest assured that this is you. Now the time is urgent, and after we wait for the return to the army, I will immediately send a letter to the Tang King, and arrange for you to wait for a group of people. As for your general Wang, King Tang will definitely be even more stingy in rewarding and promoting, so as to give you the power of reluctance and other contributions. ”

Wang Deren's heart fell to the ground, but there was an indescribable taste in his heart. He secretly thought that perhaps, from now on, he would lose these subordinates like his arms forever, even if he got a false name of reward.

It's just that now I am already under the eaves, and I don't bow my head, and it's not easy to survive.

So, without saying a word, he immediately agreed loudly with a sneer, and then worked with the civilian officials of the Tang Army's Supervision and Restoration Department to reorganize and pack up his more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and completely report and pay all kinds of baggage equipment in the army to the Tang Army.

At the same time, Liu Guoneng ordered that because the county town of Huangpi was narrow, the army was camped outside the city, and today they would temporarily rest and rectify outside the city, and early tomorrow morning, they would attack Wuchang in the south.

What Wang Deren didn't expect was that after he helped the Tang army sort out and count the soldiers, horses and ordnance of his subordinates, Liu Guoneng sent someone to summon him and asked him to discuss matters in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Listening to the words of the visitor, Wang Deren was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously thought that it should be Liu Guoneng who regretted it after luring him to surrender, and wanted to settle accounts for himself after the autumn.

If that's the case, it's bad.

Wang Deren's heart tightened, but on the surface, he tried to act quietly, he did not delay, and immediately followed this personal soldier who reported the news to the big tent of the Chinese army where Liu Guoneng was.

After entering the account, Wang Deren found that only Liu Guoneng and Weng Zhiqi, two generals in the account, were discussing in it, as if they were nervously discussing something.

"In Xia Wang Deren, he was summoned by Mayor Liu, but I don't know what happened?" Wang Deren stood at the door of the tent and asked in a low voice.

Seeing Wang Deren entering, Liu Guoneng beckoned him to come over and speak: "General Wang, Mo Li is at the door, and come over to talk, this town thinks about it, in order to take Wuchang, but there is something to worry about the general." ”

Wang Deren was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "General Liu is polite, how can you behave in the future." So what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it, just now anyway, how fortunate it is to be able to serve your army. ”

Liu Guoneng laughed, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "General Wang, this town has a plan now. That is, I want to take advantage of the fact that the enemy army in Wuchang City has not yet known that your department has defected to our army anyway, let your department be the vanguard, continue to pretend to be the left army, go straight to Wuchang City, and take advantage of Zuo Liangyu's defenselessness to enter the city in one fell swoop and take the opportunity to take Wuchang. In this way, wouldn't it be a good thing to take the city without blood? ”

Listening to Liu Guoneng's plan, Wang Deren's eyes widened instantly, but he sighed several times in his heart.

Liu Guoneng's plan, if it can be implemented smoothly, will definitely be able to catch Zuo Liangyu off guard, and it is completely feasible to take this important city of Wuchang without blood. This is the best way to go.

Wang Deren nodded again and again, and said hurriedly: "This plan is very good!" In the future, everything is arranged by Mayor Liu, and there is no second word. ”

Seeing that Wang Deren agreed so happily, Liu Guoneng was very happy, and began to make specific arrangements for the action plan.

And when Liu Guoneng successfully took Huangpi and forced down all the soldiers and horses of Wang Deren's army, in the Ningnan Marquis Mansion in Wuchang City, Zuo Liangyu was like an ant on a hot pot, circling in the room.

And beside him, the advisers led by Huang Shu also looked panicked and at a loss.

Zuo Liangyu walked back and forth in the room like a trapped beast for a long time before he finally stopped walking, and then, he looked around at the group of advisers and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Fuck! Jiujiang City was broken, the eastern front also completely collapsed, Jin Shenghuan, who led the army to the west, not only failed to lead the troops to retreat smoothly, but lost more than 60,000 elite soldiers and horses of our army under the city of Huangzhou, which is really hateful! ”

When Zuo Liangyu said this, he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "What's even more odious is that if it weren't for the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who fled back to report to Ben Hou, Ben Hou really didn't know that Jin Shenghuan, a shameless thief nicknamed a trembling thief, this wild dog that has been fed in this town for many years, would surrender like this, betraying the Lord for glory, it is really shameful and cold." ”

When Zuo Liangyu said this, the more angry his face surged, and he said hatefully: "It's hateful that the Tang army took advantage of the victory and surrounded Wuchang City in one fell swoop, but we were caught off guard and became a turtle in the urn." Now in my Wuchang City, there are few soldiers, and there are no reinforcements outside, so I am just waiting for my mother to die! You say, in such a situation now, what can Ben Hou do, what else can he do! ”

Zuo Liangyu roared angrily, and there was a deathly silence in the room.

"My lord, what is the point of saying these angry words now. Now the only plan is to see if Wang Deren's troops, who have withdrawn from Macheng, can successfully rush back to Wuchang for rescue. In the end, it was Huang Shu who broke the silence, he wiped the cold sweat on his face, and whispered to Zuo Liangyu.

Listening to Huang Shu's comfort, a bright light flashed in Zuo Liangyu's originally gloomy and gloomy eyes. However, after a flash of light, it quickly went out.

"Hmph, the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Jin Shenghuan's army were quickly wiped out by the Tang army, and only more than 40,000 people in Wang Deren's department were able to retreat from Macheng, how could they escape the danger of being wiped out by the Tang army!" Zuo Liangyu looked anxious and sighed heavily.

"Ning Nanhou, you can't say that. You have to think about it, if the Tang army besieges Jin Shenghuan's troops with all its might, there will be no extra troops to attack Wang Deren's troops, wouldn't this just give them an excellent chance to escape? ”

Huang Shu hurriedly said: "If Wang Deren's troops can quickly withdraw from Macheng to Wuchang City, it will be just right to catch the Tang army besieging the city outside the city by surprise. Even if we can't repel the besieging Tang army, more than 40,000 people from Wang Deren's department can enter the city, the Wuchang garrison will be greatly increased, and a large number of young people in the city will be transferred, then our army will have the ability to compete with the Tang army for a long time. At that time, with our strong city defenses and abundant city savings, we will be able to fight against the Tang army for a long time. ”

"As long as we can confront the Tang army in Wuchang for a long time, then we can give Li Zicheng's Dashun army in the north and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi army in the west enough time to transfer troops, and when the reinforcements from these two countries arrive, we will attack the Tang army inside and outside with our army, the Tang army will be defeated, and this siege will be solved!" When Huang Shu said this, his eyes burned and shining.
