Zhang Chao looked at Su Dingfang carefully. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Burly figure, at least 1.8 meters tall, square face and white face, two sword eyebrows, big eyes and nose, two beards, about thirty years old.
I really didn't expect him to be Su Lie and Su Dingfang, Zhang Chao secretly exclaimed.
The first set of books Zhang Chao got when he was a child was a set of Xingtang biography given to him by his father. It was also his favorite set of books when he was a child, which included Qin Shubao of the righteous Bo Yuntian, Cheng Biting Jin, the demon king of the mixed world, and Shan Xiongxin, the chief scoop of the green forest, Xu Maogong, the old man Xu Maogong, the stupid big Luo Shixin, and the arrogant little prince Luo Cheng, all of which made Zhang Chao like it very much at that time.
In that set of books, Su Dingfang is a big villain, a despicable and shameless villain, and his favorite thing to do is to hurt people with secret arrows. In the Yangzhou competition, he used a secret arrow to kill Wu Tianxi, the nephew of Wu Yunzhao, the ninth elder of Xingsui. Even Luo Yi and Luo Cheng, father and son, whom Zhang Chao liked very much, died under his plot one after another. When reading books at that time, the young Zhang Chao even regarded Su Dingfang as the first villain.
Later, I went to school and began to read history books.
Only then did he know that Su Dingfang was not a villain. Not only is he not, he is also a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, not only a general, but has reached the level of a famous marshal.
One person destroys the Three Kingdoms and captures the Three Kings, don't be too awesome.
Su Dingfang is a native of Jizhou, Hebei, and Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiongbao are in a similar family situation. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Shubao begged for thieves in the official army, and Cheng Yanjin organized the township soldiers to defend the township. And Su Dingfang, who was only fifteen years old at the time, also followed his father to lead thousands of villagers to fight against thieves for his state and county.
Su Dingfang is brave and strong, with extraordinary strength and courage, and he takes the lead in charging into battle every time, and he is a young hero like Du Fuwei at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
After his father died in battle, he succeeded his father in commanding the troops at the order of the county guard, and has been fighting against the rebels in Hebei. Even Zhang Jin, a well-known rebel leader in Hebei, said that he was captured and killed by him. At a young age, he was famous, and the rebels he fought did not dare to approach his state and county.
It's just that there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there was no power to return to heaven with just one strength.
Cheng Yanjin finally led the team to Wagang, and Su Dingfang finally defected to Dou Jiande, who had a good reputation. Because of his bravery and youth, he was accepted as a righteous son by Dou Jiande's general Gao Yaxian, and he has been fighting for the Xia army.
Su Dingfang, who is 29 years old this year, is actually already a senior general in Liu Heimin's army.
Three days ago, Liu Heimin proclaimed himself the king of Handong in the city of Zhaozhou, and the name of the founding year was made in heaven, and Fan Yuan was appointed as the left servant, Dong Kangmai was the secretary of the military department, and Gao Yaxian was the general of the right leading army.
Su Dingfang was named General Huben.
Zhang Chao saw that his armor was simple before, and he thought he was just a captain, but he didn't expect that he was still a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Su Dingfang will return to Tang in the future, but it seems that Liu Heimin raised troops twice, and he is the backbone. Later, Liu Heimin was defeated, and he went home to farm, and after planting at home for several years, the imperial court recruited him. It seems that he also worshipped Li Jing as a teacher, trained a special cavalry of several thousand people for Li Jing in Hebei, and then took this army and horses to attack Dingxiang with Li Jingqi and broke the Khan court of the Turkic Khan.
I don't know if I can pull Su Dingfang over.
"It turned out to be General Su, a young hero, who beheaded Zhang Jin and expelled Yang Gongqing, so that the Hebei thieves did not dare to approach Jizhou, it's amazing."
Su Dingfang had no expression on his face and did not answer.
Zhang Chao did not give up, and continued, "I think that back then, General Su guarded his hometown and the villagers praised him, why did he not see the situation clearly today, and he had to be a thief, and he made mistakes again and again? ”
Su Dingfang stood still, turned his head and glared at Zhang Chao.
"May I ask General Su, is there something wrong with what so-and-so said? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a great chaos, thieves from all over the country swarmed, called the righteous army, and they did everything in adultery, adultery, and plunder, such as the gold title, etc., were all bandits. At the age of fifteen, the general followed the order to disperse the wealth of the family and raise the village, crusade against the thieves everywhere, and defend the township, which is really admirable. Outside the city, the generals of our army, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, are also from Kwantung, and the generals at the end of the Sui Dynasty are about the same, General Qin went around with the county to conquer, General Cheng recruited the townsmen to guard their hometowns, and heroes came out in troubled times, and General Su was a hero at that time! ”
Zhang Chao said while secretly looking at Su Dingfang.
He saw that Su Dingfang was a little distracted, as if he was reminiscing about the past. At the age of fifteen, he began to charge into battle to defend the township, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
"General Su, in order to guard the township, you charged into battle at the age of fifteen. Now that more than ten years have passed, where do you think you are standing now? Do you think you are following Liu Heimin now to defend the township? ”
Su Dingfang glanced at Zhang Chao and did not answer.
"Back then, Sui had no way, the world was in turmoil, and the general finally took Xiangyong to vote for Dou Jiande, which is nothing. After all, Dou Jiande also has the name of benevolence, but the destiny is in Li Tang. After the Battle of the Central Plains, the Mandate of Heaven has returned. Hebei is already stable, the world is about to be peaceful, Liu Heimin acted against the sky and rebelled in vain, is this a good thing? ”
"General Su, the rebellion is like fire and water. The war was ruthless, and many people in Hebei suffered from this catastrophe, their homes were destroyed, and their food was taken away. ”
"Li Tang shouldn't kill King Xia, let alone kill them all." Su Dingfang finally spoke.
Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Su Dingfang had been despising him with that look. Since he is willing to fight, he has succeeded in the first step. Ken argues, that shows that his words still have an effect.
"It is inevitable that the king will be defeated, in fact, I also feel that General Dou was killed a little regrettable, but it has happened, the dead are gone, and the most important thing is the living. Life goes on, doesn't it? Some of the local officials sent by the imperial court to Hebei before were indeed nonsense. Now the King of Qin has also come in person, and he is here to correct all this. ”
"Correction?" Su Dingfang sneered.
"General Su, you have been fighting for more than ten years, I believe you know the current situation better than me. I can also tell the general that now in addition to Hebei, the rest of the states and counties you have taken, now that the Tang army has been recovered, you have become a lone army trapped here. Liu Heimin kept saying that the soldiers were to avenge General Dou, but at this time, he still wanted to be the king, just to satisfy his selfish desires, and tied you old brothers to his chariot. ”
"General Su, think about your family, think about your mother, wife and children in Wuyi, Jizhou."
Su Dingfang gritted his teeth, he had already expected in his heart that the other Hebei troops might not be able to hold on, but now that Zhang Chao said it himself, and also talked about his wife and children in his hometown, he had a complicated look in his eyes.
"I heard that King Qin is also a hero, I believe he will not embarrass other people's wives and children."
"General Su, King Qin is indeed heroic and benevolent, and I also believe that Datang will not embarrass your wife and children. But have you ever thought about it, they are waiting for you to go back, do you want your wife to wait for a jar of ashes? Do you want your children to have no father at a young age? Don't you want to grow old with your wife, and don't want to watch your children grow up and become talented day by day? Don't you want to see your son marry and have children in the future, and you don't want to personally send your daughter to a sedan chair when she gets married? ”
"General Su, wake up, do you want to let yourself die here for the ambition and desire of Liu Heimin alone, for the sake of Dou Jiande, who has already died, and then you have to bear the name of a traitor, so that your wife and children will have no one to take care of you in the future, and live a miserable life?"
"General Su doesn't think you can still win, right?"
Su Dingfang stopped talking again, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to win. If he can't win, then what is he holding on to here? This Tang envoy's words are nothing significant, they are very simple and simple, but they go straight to the heart.
Yes, I know that I will lose, what are I still insisting on here? What do you get when you die? What about her wife and children, what about her family?
"General Su, I regret that the imperial court killed General Dou, but sometimes we have to look forward. This time Hebei raised troops, for the people of Hebei and for the Tang Dynasty, it was a disaster, and no one got good. Half a year of war swept more than ten states in Hebei, and no less than 100,000 people died on both sides. It's time to let go, General Su, no matter how stubbornly you resist, it's just a meaningless casualty and it's not worth it. ”
"This was provoked by Li Tang first."
Is it so important to discuss who is right and who is wrong at this time? General Sue? Now that the court is willing to change, His Royal Highness the King of Qin sent me to persuade him to surrender, as long as the city is willing to put down his sword and soldiers to open the city and surrender, then the King of Qin promises not to kill a single soldier, you can all get lenient treatment, you can return to your hometown, put down your swords, reunite with your wife and children, and live a quiet life, start a new life. ”
"Let him go in the past, there are enough dead people, there is no need to let the 50,000 soldiers and civilians in the city of Zhaozhou be buried together."
"Don't talk, there's the palace ahead." Su Dingfang dropped a sentence, no longer paid attention to Zhang Chao, and just walked.
Zhang Chao had to shut up, but judging in his heart, it was estimated that Su Dingfang had been a little moved by him.
The Handong Royal Mansion is actually Dou Jiande's palace.
However, it is not luxurious, Dou Jiande is relatively frugal.
Outside the palace, soldiers came to search him.
After searching, Su Dingfang took Zhang Chao inside, and when there was no one left and right, Su Dingfang suddenly whispered to him, "When I saw King Handong inside, don't talk nonsense like just now, otherwise it will end badly." ”
"General Xie Su reminded that if the general intends to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it is not too late."
Su Dingfang just sighed, but stopped talking.
When he arrived at a palace, Su Dingfang asked Zhang Chao to stay, and he went to report first.
After a while, soldiers came.
"The king has summoned you to him."
In the main hall, dozens of civil and military personnel knelt on the ground.
"Bold, when you see the king of Handong, don't kneel down quickly!"
A gold-armored guard shouted at Zhang Chao, startled.
Zhang Chao fixed his mind, ignored him, and just raised his voice and said loudly, "I am a special envoy sent by His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and I have come to deliver the handwritten letter of the King of Qin to General Liu!" (To be continued.) )
