At this moment, Yan Yan felt a headache, and he was in a dilemma.

Surrender, the family is difficult to preserve!

If they do not surrender, more than 2,000 soldiers will be wiped out immediately.

It can be said that Wang Can gave Yan Yan a dilemma that going forward is a mountain of knives, and going backwards is a multiple-choice question of the sea of fire. No matter how Yan Yan chooses, he will lose something, and he will face the choice of his family and soldiers. Yan Yan looked back and saw the burning eyes of the two thousand soldiers, and his face was even more pale for a while.

Yan Zhi stood among the soldiers, looking at the soldiers who surrendered on their knees, eager to wield a knife and kill all the Yizhou soldiers who were ready to surrender, without their constraints, Yan Yan would not be in a dilemma. Yan Yan looked at the soldiers who were looking forward to it, and when he saw the expectant looks in the soldiers' eyes, he was even more silent, and he couldn't ignore the lives of the two thousand soldiers.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Yan looked at Wang Can and shouted, "Wang Can, you won!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Yan's whole spirit withered.

Seeing Yan Yan surrendering, Wang Can waved his hand and ordered: "Go, tie Yan up." ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers quickly ran to Yan Yan's side, first put away Yan Yan's big ring knife, and then tied Yan Yan's hands behind him, unable to move. At this time, Guo Jia slowly walked towards Yan Yan, and when Guo Jia stepped on the weeds and dead branches and made a squeaky sound, Yan Yan's eyes widened, because Guo Jia did not fall.

Clearly, the weeds and dead branches did not sink in.

For a while, Yan Yan was even more discouraged, and a great opportunity was in front of him, but he missed it.

It's a pity that he has already been scared by Guo Jia in his heart, so he will be a soldier, and when he sees weeds and dead branches spread on the ground, he thinks it is a trap. Wang Can walked up to Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you are still powerful, let General Yan be captured without blood, good, wonderful!" ”

After speaking, Wang Can instructed Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to collect the weapons of the Yizhou soldiers, and escorted the surrendered soldiers back to Baocheng. Although Yan Zhi wanted to resist, when he saw Yan Yan surrendering, he also sighed and followed the rest of the soldiers to disarm and surrender.

Yan Yan looked lonely, and his heart was full of remorse.

He just had to keep looking into the situation and see that there were no traps, but he gave up halfway through.

Pity! Pity!

……

Under the starry night, the army returned the same way and headed for Baocheng.

Wang Can led his troops back, and the news of the defeat of Yan Yan soon spread back to Baocheng.

When the Baocheng clan learned that Wang Can escorted Yan Yan and Yan Zhi back to Baocheng, they were all waiting for Wang Can at the gate of the city. Li Li stood at the forefront, dressed in a black robe, wearing an ancient crown, and holding a smooth cane in his hand. His silver hair was meticulously combed, and he held his head high, waiting for Wang Can to lead the army back.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Suddenly, a soldier stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

At night, torches crackle and flicker, illuminating the dark night sky.

Wang Can rode on the black horse, striding forward with his head held high, the cloak fluttering behind him, and the end was majestic. Behind Wang Can, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, one with a knife and the other with a mace, escorted two thousand Yizhou soldiers and walked slowly. Guo Jia and the wolf teeth led by Lu Meng hurried together and followed the rear of the army.

Yan Yan and Yan Zhi both had their hands tied behind their backs, their expressions were neither humble nor arrogant, but there was no worry on their faces.

Die generously, that's probably how it looks.

When Wang Can led the army to arrive outside Baocheng, Li Li stepped forward and saluted Wang Can, and bowed: "Congratulations to Wang Taishou for capturing the traitor Yan Yan, this time he defeated Yan Yan, defeated Liu Yan's army, and the prestige of Lord Taishou spread all over Yizhou, Liu Yan no longer dared to underestimate Wang Taishou, congratulations!" ”

As he spoke, Li Li glanced at Yan Yan and Yan Zhi, and his cloudy eyes flashed with Dao essence.

Wang Can bowed back and said, "Without the help of Duke Li, An Neng would have defeated the Yizhou army so smoothly." ”

"Haha......"

After Li Li heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He stretched out his thin hand and stroked the long white beard under his chin, and his face showed a touch of pride, but he felt very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he listened to Tang Yuan's words and chose to send troops to help Wang Can as soon as possible. If Wang Can had to wait for a large number of soldiers to gain an advantage, and they would have helped each other, I am afraid that Wang Can would not have been so friendly.

"Wang Tai Shou, please!"

Li Liyi waved his hand and motioned for Wang Can to lead the troops forward.

Wang Can nodded and led the troops forward.

When the army entered the city, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao escorted the Yizhou soldiers to the Baocheng campus to settle the more than 2,000 soldiers who had just surrendered. These soldiers have just surrendered, and if they are not dealt with properly, there is a high risk of mutiny, and all the work done will be lost, so it is important to deal with these things as soon as possible.

The army went to the school field, and Wang Can and Guo Jia led the troops to the county government.

Lü Meng led a hundred wolf tooth soldiers to follow behind, guarding Wang Can and Guo Jia to protect their safety.

In the hall of the county government, Wang Can sat on the main seat, Guo Jia sat behind Wang Can, Lu Meng stood behind the two, there were four young soldiers on the left and right, and the rest of the soldiers were stationed outside the hall, once things changed, they could immediately rush into the hall. Below, on the left and right sides sat the Baocheng clan, Li Li sat first on the left, Zeng Yi sat first on the right, and the rest of the people arranged their seats in turn.

In the center of the hall, Yan Yan and Yan Zhi were bound.

The two of them were arrogant, looked at Wang Can at eye level, and did not lower their voices because they were captives.

Wang Can looked at Yan Yan and said in a harmonious voice: "General Yan, the nearly 10,000 troops you led have all been defeated by me, and the matter has come to this point, I don't know if General Yan is willing to surrender?" ”

"Don't think!"

Yan Yan didn't think about it, and immediately refused.

Wang Can looked at Yan Yan with a smile and said, "General Yan is so simple, isn't he worried about the safety of the two thousand soldiers?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Wang Taishou, I have laid down my arms and admitted defeat, and Wang Taishou also defeated Yan's army." Now that the victory has been won, what more can you ask for? Could it be that Wang Taishou not only wants to make his eyes admit defeat, but also wants Yan to surrender convincingly? If Wang Taishou had such thoughts, Yan persuaded Wang Taishou to give up early, because even if Yan laid down his arms and admitted defeat, he would definitely not surrender to you. ”

Wang Can continued: "The general is handsome for a while, can't he see the situation clearly? ”

Yan Yan snorted coldly and simply ignored Wang Can.

Wang Can didn't get angry, he had time to waste Yan Yan, looked up at the outside of the hall, and shouted, "Someone!" In an instant, two soldiers walked in from outside the hall, bowed to Wang Can, and waited for Wang Can's orders.

Wang Can instructed: "Take it down and detain it." ”

"No!" The two soldiers clasped their fists and shouted, reaching out to pull Yan Yan and Yan Zhi out of the hall.

Just as the two soldiers were about to make a move, a loud shout came: "Slow! The voice fell, and the soldier immediately stopped and looked at Wang Can.

Wang Can followed the prestige, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and at the same time, a trace of murderous intent flashed.

The person who spoke was none other than Tang Yuan, who had persuaded Li Li.

Wang Can squinted his eyes slightly, and asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Tang Yuan was wearing a light blue robe, his clothes were fluttering, and he strode to the center of the hall, he glanced at Yan Yan and Yan Zhi coldly, revealing a cold expression.

He bowed to Wang Can and said: "Wang Taishou, the ancients cut the grass and did not remove the roots, and the future troubles were endless. He led the soldiers to leave Baocheng, and ordered the soldiers to take the families of all the families in Baocheng into custody, in order to threaten the Baocheng clan to resist Wang Taishou. ”

Wang Can didn't know Tang Yuan and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Tang Yuan said: "Villain Tang Yuan! The family has been in business for generations, and he is the patriarch of the Tang clan. ”

Wang Can was stunned and said, "Oh, it's actually a businessman? ”

Tang Yuan said: "Exactly! ”

Wang Can sneered twice and asked, "You mean to let me kill Yan Yan and follow your wishes?" ”

Tang Yuan looked like a celebrity and said: "It was not Tang Yuan who instructed the Lord Taishou, but the Lord left this person, and the harm was endless." ”

Yan Yan's gaze fell on Tang Yuan, and then at Wang Can with a complicated expression. At this moment, his and Yan Zhi's lives are in the hands of Wang Can, one thought of life and one thought of death.

Wang Can stared at Tang Yuan and said lightly: "Ben Taishou once said that the scholars are farmers and industrialists, and the scholars are in the first place, because the scholars are the pillars of the country, and the country cannot operate without the scholars, so as long as there are talented and learned people, they can become officials." ”

"Agriculture is the cornerstone of the country, and without the peasants' hard work to grow grain and pay taxes, and without the peasants' tireless efforts, this country cannot be called a country."

"Craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, and the hands of skilled craftsmen can make houses, weapons, clothing, and other utensils."

As for the merchants, the so-called profit-seeking of businessmen is a matter of course, and Ben Taishou also thinks so. In this world, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and it is normal for businessmen to make profits. Because there were no merchants, there would be no goods to exchange, and the people could not buy goods. Ben Taishou did not despise merchants, but on the contrary, he attached great importance to them. ”

"A businessman can also be loyal to the country and share the worries of the king."

"However, there are also unscrupulous businessmen who try to hoard grain and raise prices in vain to make a profit. At the same time, there are also narrow-minded, narrow-minded businessmen, who do not cultivate their self-cultivation and do not raise their heroic spirit. Ben Taishou is under his command, and he can't tolerate this kind of narrow-minded person who will repay him. ”

Wang Can's words first affirmed the status of the businessman, and made Tang Yuan nod in agreement.

However, when Wang Can could hardly accommodate the narrow-minded businessman who was bound to repay him, Tang Yuan's face suddenly became very embarrassed.

When he looked at Wang Can, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt a chill down his spine.

At this time, he also understood that it was impossible for Wang Can to kill Yan Yan. Judging from Wang Can's tone, if Tang Yuan insisted on killing Yan Yan, it was impossible to say that Wang Can would send troops to kill him. Tang Yuan looked up at Li Li and Zeng Yi, and saw that the two of them raised their heads slightly, with a hint of understanding in their eyes. The two of them stood motionless, not wanting to get rid of Yan Yan at all because of what Yan Yan had done before.

Because, they all know Wang Can's thoughts.

In fact, what Tang Yuan did was also due to his character.

Even though Tang Yuan could see the situation clearly, he was still not broad-minded enough.

Tang Yuan thought of touching Wang Can's head, and immediately changed his attitude and said, "Wang Taishou, the villain's words just now were also carried away by anger, so he said these words. The villain, a businessman, even said vainly to interfere with Wang Taishou's decision, the crime is unforgivable, please punish the Taishou. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately chose to change the direction of the wind and plead guilty to Wang Can.

Wang Can nodded and smiled, and said, "Patriarch Tang knows what he should do, and he is very good." ”

After speaking, Wang Can waved his hand at the soldiers and asked the soldiers to escort Yan Yan and Yan Zhi out of the hall.

After Yan Yan and Yan Zhi left, Wang Can said: "Baocheng guard general Deng Fang was killed, now there are no guards in Baocheng to garrison Baocheng, and after this Taishou returns to Nanzheng, he will send generals to take over the defense of Baocheng." However, during this time, it is also necessary for the princes to be stationed in Baocheng to avoid accidents. ”

After Li Li heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Taishou, we will definitely guard Baocheng." ”

Li Li knew that he couldn't confront Wang Can, so he cooperated with Wang Can very much.

Wang Can glanced at the dark night outside the hall and said: "It's late at night, all the princes have been busy for a day, tired, go back and rest early, early tomorrow morning, Ben Taishou will lead the army to leave Baocheng, and the matter of Baocheng will be left to the princes." ”

Everyone saluted Wang Can and left.

After Li Li led the patriarchs of the major families to leave, Wang Can looked back at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, Yan Yan is extremely stubborn and can't be easily surrendered, Feng Xiao has a clever plan?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "Lord, Yan Yan does have the courage of ten thousand people, the lord collects it for his own use, and there is one more general who can guard one side." If the lord wants to subdue Yan Yan, he can use the attack plan, and the person Yan Yan is worried about is nothing more than the family members who are far away in Chengdu, and the lord ordered Wang Jianshi to send spies scattered in Chengdu to bring Yan Yan's family to Hanzhong, so that there should be ninety percent certainty of subduing Yan Yan. ”

When Wang Can heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! What a trick to attack the mind"

If Yan Yan is here, after listening to Guo Jia's words, I'm afraid I will have to open my eyes again.

PS: The second shift, call it a day. Today's two watches are still close to 8,000 words.
