735 Kaesong surrendered

Tens of thousands of Yi soldiers are still gathering, the army has gradually surrounded the entire Dianchi City, the Yi soldiers under the leadership of their respective leaders will be Dianchi City surrounded like an iron bucket, three layers inside, three layers outside.

Suddenly, the north gate of Dianchi City suddenly opened, and E Huan led two hundred cavalry to rush out of the city gate.

This sudden scene caught the soldiers off guard, and they never expected that someone in the city would dare to rush out.

At the shout of the tribal leader, the Yi soldiers raised their bows and arrows and shot at the two hundred cavalry who were galloping towards them.

But as if the other party had already known the response plan of the Yi soldiers, the two hundred cavalry instantly scattered in all directions, and each ten people were divided into twenty squads, which rushed in different directions.

E Huan lay on the horse's back, the whole person was very nervous, he rode the horse and galloped, holding a mace, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Whoosh ......"

The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to come out, and because E Huan made timely adjustments, the two hundred cavalry under his subordinates greatly reduced the casualties, and the arrows whistled in their ears, and a wave of arrows just landed, and E Huan and other cavalry rushed into the Yi soldiers with lightning speed.

With a "boom" sound, E Huan suddenly appeared from the horse's back, holding a mace, waving it left and right, and everywhere he passed, his skull bones were shattered, his brains burst out, and blood was splashed.

In the blink of an eye, Ehuan had killed four or five Yi soldiers, and all of his men were skilled. Killed one of the soldiers each. The rampage of twenty cavalry squads. As if a boulder had hit the sea, the rest of the soldiers rushed to support from all directions, and at once surrounded the two hundred cavalry.

For a while, E Huan had killed eight Yi soldiers in a row, and behind him, there were also screams repeatedly, and when he looked back, he had ten cavalrymen with him. There are only two or three cavalry left, and there are not many cavalry left in the rest of the directions, and two hundred cavalry, like a stone sinking into the sea, did not stir up too many waves at all.

E Huan frowned, only then did he know that the strength of these soldiers did not seem to be a rabble.

"Retreat!"

E Huan made a quick decision, seeing that the two hundred cavalry were about to be wiped out. He immediately let out a loud roar and turned the horse's head around. kept waving his mace, rushing left and right, and soon fought his way out of the encirclement.

E Huan rushed out with his bravery, but all his subordinates died on the battlefield, two hundred people went, but only one returned, and he didn't know when he was stabbed in the calf, until this time he felt pain, and the blood had stained his combat boots red.

The gate of Dianchi City was opened again, E Huan rode into the city alone, and the city gate was closed again, and the Yi soldiers did not chase after them, but cleaned up the battlefield and gathered all the corpses of those soldiers who died in the Yi soldiers' camp.

E Huan climbed the city tower covered in blood, came to Gao Ding's side with a depressed face, hugged his fists and said: "General, the enemy is surrounded too thickly, the last general led two hundred cavalry to break out of the encirclement, but he was stubbornly resisted by the enemy, not only did not rush out, even the two hundred cavalry were all killed, if it wasn't for the last general to fight desperately out of the encirclement, I am afraid that now it is separated from the general's yin and yang." ”

Gao Ding originally had a glimmer of hope for E Huan, but E Huan didn't rush out at all, which means that they couldn't move the rescuers, so they could only wait for death in the city.

The expression on Gao Ding's face was very complicated, he thought that E Huan was very powerful, and he was counting on E Huan to win glory for his face, but he didn't expect that even E Huan couldn't rush out.

Seeing this, Yonghong waved his hand and said: "It seems that Meng Huo wants to completely trap us in Dianchi City, if we don't agree to Meng Huo's conditions, then Meng Huo will inevitably send troops to attack Dianchi, I don't regret to die, it's a pity that Nanzhong will fall into the hands of the Yi people from now on." ”

Zhu Baojian said: "General, it's better to fight with Meng Huo, gather all the troops in the city, and all rush towards the north gate, I don't believe it, we can't break through Meng Huo's defense line." As long as we break out of the encirclement, we will be able to deal with Meng Shu better. ”

Yonghong waved his hand and said: "If we stand still in the city, we may live a little longer, but if we rush out, we will be wiped out in less than an hour." Inappropriate. ”

"Then what should I do, I can't really surrender to Meng Huo, right?"

Yonghong said: "Let me think about it again." ”

Outside the city, Meng Huo was still calmly looking at the tower of Dianchi City, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that someone wanted to rush out from the north gate, but was repulsed, and asked Meng Huo's opinion whether to attack Dianchi City.

Meng Shu turned his face and glanced at Li Hui beside him, and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”

"I have already offered the king a plan to surrender without a fight, why does the king use his sword and spear? It is better for the king to put some pressure on the people in the city, and open the city and surrender within an hour, otherwise, the day the city is broken will be the time to slaughter the city! Li Hui said.

Meng Shu nodded, called the paperwork, wrote a letter, and asked people to shoot arrows into the city.

After the letter was written, Meng Shu turned to a person behind him and said, "Ah Hui Lan, your archery skills are the best among all, you come to shoot arrows, shoot this letter into the city, and give the enemy a dismount." ”

"Whoa!"

Ah Hui murmured, took the letter given by Meng, drew an arrow, tied the letter to the arrow, and then rode out, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and a big bow in the other, and galloped to a position a hundred steps away from the city gate, and opened the bow and arrow on the horse's back, and when the bowstring sounded, a feather arrow "swished" and shot out towards the city tower.

After Ah Hui finished shooting this arrow, he hurriedly reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, and turned back to the main formation.

And the arrow, like lightning, shot towards the city wall, and hit the crown worn on Yonghong's head impartially, and the arrow shot directly through the crown, and the tail of the arrow was exposed, with a trace of trembling.

Yonghong was taken aback. The frightened whole person fell backwards. He himself was still thinking about things from the castle tower. I didn't see anyone firing arrows at him, and by the time Gao Ding reminded him on the side, it was too late.

Yonghong thought that this arrow was to take his life, but he never expected that this arrow directly hit his crown and he was lucky not to die.

Rao is like this, Yonghong is also half frightened to death, and he already knows that there are archers in Meng Huo's army who can penetrate Yang's technique in a hundred steps. He didn't dare to show his face again, and sat on the ground with a panicked face, and his heart palpitated.

"General, there is a letter on the arrow." When Wang Yan went to help Yonghong, he immediately saw the letter on the arrow and hurriedly reminded him.

"Take the letter down at once, and break the arrow!" Yonghong trembled.

Wang Yan did as Yonghong said, and offered the arrows he took down to Yonghong, while E Huan on the side broke the arrows hard.

Yonghong took the letter and opened it. The letter was written by Meng Shu, and it was a letter of persuasion.

After reading it. Just let out a sneer, then frowned, and then said to everyone: "It was Meng Shu who wrote a letter of persuasion, limiting us to go out of the city and surrender within one hour, otherwise, he will order his subordinates to slaughter this city with blood, and no chickens and dogs will be left." ”

Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, Wang Yan and others all looked at each other, they followed Yonghong to rebel, it was nothing more than to find a good way out, and now the difference in strength between them and Meng Huo is too great, they are not Meng Huo's opponents at all, even if they hold the city with all their might, if Meng Huo drives troops to attack day and night, within three days, this city will inevitably be captured, and even the people in the city may not be able to survive at that time.

"Alas! The gap between the strength of us and Meng Shu is too big, even if we hold on, we may not be able to hold on for a few days, but it will affect the people in the city. Just don't do anything, just open the city gate directly, and surrender to Meng Huo, so that you can save your lives! Yonghong said dejectedly.

Everyone was silent, but everyone was thinking about their future in their hearts.

"It's okay to surrender, but I don't write in my heart that after surrendering, what will Meng Shu do to us? It was not easy for us to get to the position of Taishou, once Meng Shu took power, he would definitely appoint cronies on a large scale, and we would be nothing to him. Since we want to surrender, we must talk to Meng Shu to understand that after we surrender, we must be reinstated. Zhu Bao said.

Gao Ding said: "What Zhu Taishou said has a certain truth. ”

Wang Yan said: "Since everyone wants to surrender, why don't I go and talk to Meng Xu, and do our best to maximize our interests, how about it?" ”

"However, what capital do we have now to negotiate with Meng Huo?" Yonghong asked.

"Just this city and the grain and grass in the granary of the city! And the support of the Han people! Gao Ding said.

Yonghong said: "Since this is the case, then there will be a trip to King Lao Taishou in person." ”

Wang Yan said: "Oh." ”

Meng Shu and Yonghong confronted each other at the south gate of Dianchi City, both sides had troops, when the gate of Dianchi City opened, Wang Yan walked out of the city gate alone, holding a scepter, and shouted at the soldiers on the opposite side: "I am a messenger, I want to see your king!" ”

Meng Shu asked someone to bring Wang Yan over, and Li Hui whispered in Meng Shu's ear: "This person is my internal response, and he is on the side of us." This strategy was decided by the two of us after discussion. ”

Meng Shu nodded, and after seeing Wang Yan, he also seemed very polite, Meng Shu said directly: "Mr. Wang, Meng Huo has always respected scholars, and I have heard of your name for a long time. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "The king has won the award, in fact, Wang is not as good as the king said." My lord, I have come this time mainly to discuss with the king about surrender. ”

A gleam appeared in Meng Huo's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Yonghong is willing to surrender?" ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Willing is willing, but there are conditions!" ”

"On what terms?"

"Actually, this is what Gao Ding and Zhu Bao meant, they are afraid that after surrendering to the king, the king will no longer reuse them, but replace others as Taishou, so let me discuss with the king, after they surrender, can they continue to be Taishou?"

Meng Huo laughed: "What should I do, it turned out to be such a simple thing." I can still agree to this little thing. What's more, I also need Han people to work for me, and the Yi people don't know how to manage the county. ”

Wang Yan's face suddenly changed color. He shook his head helplessly. said: "Fortunately, it is me who came. Not either Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, otherwise, the king would really be fooled. ”

"I was fooled, I was fooled."

"The king, Gao Ding, Zhu Bao and Yonghong are brothers who have been friends for eight worships, I don't know if the king has ever heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"The relationship between Yonghong and Gao Ding and Zhu Bao is extraordinary, it can be said that they are like brothers, if the two of them continue to be Taishou. And the king killed Yonghong, then Gao Ding and Zhu Bao are bound to hate the king and regard the king as an enemy. The king left these two people by his side, which is really a big trouble, so it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of them, but it saves a lot of worries. Besides, the king wants to use Han people, and we can recommend a lot for the king, why do we have to use Gaoding and Zhu Bao? And the king may not know that Gao Ding and Zhu Bao have been guarding Taishou for many years, and many of them have filled their private pockets. The Han people have long hated them, and if the king is using them as guards. I am afraid that not only will I not be able to win the hearts of the Han people, but I will also make the Han people even more disgusted. ”

After hearing this, Meng Yu gasped and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Wang reminded me in time, otherwise I would have made a big mistake." ”

Wang Yan smiled and said: "With Li Hui by the king's side, even if I didn't say it, I believe he will remind the king." ”

Meng Shu smiled, and glanced at Li Hui, very satisfied with such a person. He asked the king, "What should we do now?" If they want to kill Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao, they won't surrender! ”

"The king can first pretend to agree to the conditions put forward by Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao, and wait until he occupies the city, and then wants to kill them, isn't it easy?" Wang Yan said.

Meng Shu said with a smile: "This is indeed the reason. In that case, then please ask Mr. Wang to go back to the city again, and say that I agreed to their conditions and asked them to open the city and surrender! ”

"Whoa!"

Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao saw clearly from the city tower, they saw Wang Yan and Meng Shu chatting very happily, it seemed that some kind of agreement had been reached, and it seemed that surrender was expected.

After Wang Yan came back from outside the city, Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao asked Wang Yan one by one, and Wang Yan patiently answered one by one, and brought the news of Meng Shu, which made Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao all overjoyed.

So, the three unanimously decided to open the city gate and surrender to Meng Huo.

After half an hour of confrontation between the two sides, Yonghong, Gaoding, and Zhu Bao finally opened the city and surrendered to Meng Shu on the grounds that they were outnumbered.

When the city gate was opened, Yonghong, Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, and Wang Yan went out of the city one after another to welcome Meng Huo's arrival, and all the soldiers and generals in the city discarded their weapons and concentrated in the barracks.

Meng Huo led the army into the city slowly, at the gate of the city, after seeing Yonghong, Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, and Wang Ling, Meng Huo sneered, suddenly raised his hand, and shouted: "Tie up!" ”

I saw six Yiren warriors rushing out from behind Meng Huo, pressing Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao to the ground respectively, and then being quickly tied up by Wuhuada, and only Wang Yan was safe and sound.

Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao looked at Meng Huo with surprised eyes, and Yonghong shouted even higher: "King Meng, we have already surrendered, and you have already promised us, how can you go back on your word, if you do this, are you not afraid of being punished by God?" ”

Gao Ding and Zhu Bao noticed that Wang Yan was actually standing there unharmed, so they couldn't help but shout at the same time: "Why are you okay?" ”

Meng Huo's face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes quickly glanced at Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao, and he didn't say anything, he waved his hand directly, and shouted at his subordinates: "Pull it out, cut it." It's noisy to stay here! ”

The Yiren warrior didn't say a word, and pushed Yonghong, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao to the side of the road, no matter how the three of them shouted, they just ignored it, and when the knife fell, the three heads fell to the ground in an instant.

At this time, Meng Shu walked into Dianchi City with a proud face, and said to Li Hui beside him: "I have already helped you take revenge, next, it's time for you to repay me, right?" ”

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Hui's mouth, and he arched his hand towards Meng Shu and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to serve the king!" ”

"Hahaha...... So good, so good! Meng Yu happily entered Dianchi City. (To be continued......)
