On the way to Guiyang City, An Rushan and others were worried that Cui Feng's army had not been able to capture Guiyang City when it arrived, and it would be difficult to do it then.

Their worries seem to have some justification, there are 5,000 people in Guiyang City, if they swear to resist to the death, let alone support for two days, it is not surprising that they will support it for two months.

But it turned out that An Rushan's worries were completely unnecessary.

The defenders of the city were either unable to resist, or they did not want to resist at all.

As soon as the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shuixi arrived in the west of Guiyang City and were encamped, the defenders in the city opened the door and surrendered.

It turned out that Ma Liu gathered troops and horses at the east gate and sent people to give an ultimatum to the defenders in the city. Outside the West Gate, Tang Yue played a trick again, and took people to Xicheng to greet An Rupan with great fanfare, and the two sides fought hotly on the surface.

The defenders at the head of the city looked at it and felt that this was terrible, the tiger in the east, the wolf in the west, this tiger and wolf also hooked up, there were no reinforcements outside the city of Guiyang, could they still hold it?

After Chen Ruizheng and Zhang Yao received Ma Liuliang's ultimatum, they thought about it again and again, and felt that they should not be strong, in case He Tengjiao broke it before he came to the city, wouldn't he be a ghost under Ma Liuwan's knife?

Under Zhang Yao's repeated urging, Chen Ruizheng finally decided to open the door and surrender, in order to show his grandeur, he asked people to find a few white sheep and personally led them to the east gate.

Leading the sheep out of the city is a surrender ritual handed down from the Spring and Autumn period. The subtext of this move is: It's all my fault, let the comrades go all the way, I'm guilty, I'm in the law. Comrades have worked hard, I have nothing to entertain, get a few sheep to comfort everyone.

"Left Biography. "The Twelfth Year of Xuan Gong" has such a record: Chu Ziwei Zheng. March grams. Uncle Zheng took the sheep to rebel, saying: "If you are lonely, you can't be a king." Make the king angry, as well as the sin of loneliness, dare not obey the order. ”

In this cold winter month, Chen Ruizheng and Zhang Yao each led a sheep, and went out of the river to surrender bare-chested, which cannot be said to be insincere.

But there are people who are more "real" than them. More "realistic".

Chen Zhang and the others couldn't walk fast with the sheep, and before they could reach the east gate, Qian Zhan, the general on duty at the east gate, had already taken his soldiers with him. He opened the city gate very literally, undressed his armor, threw away his sword and gun, and ran out of the city to embrace the future.

Ma Liuliang rushed into the east gate with his men and horses. Halfway through, he met Zhang Yao and Chen Ruizheng. General Ma didn't know what these two guys meant by holding the sheep, and immediately ordered the kidnapping.

It was Chen Guimin who explained, and General Ma understood the meaning, okay, it's okay for you to surrender.

Although Ma Liuliang is a bandit, he knows very well that his real opponent is not the defenders in the city, but An Rupan outside the city, after he has mastered Chen Ruizheng. Immediately let Chen Zhongmin and Zhang Yao come forward to pacify the defenders in the city. and sent his own men and horses to take over the gates.

Everything came too fast, An Rupan's wishful thinking all failed, and he couldn't help but be angry, while delaying Tang Yue in the army, he sent troops to call the city gate, claiming to enter the city to help defend the city, but the Qin army sternly refused.

Mu Kui under An Rupan persuaded him to attack the city immediately while the Qin army had just entered the city and had not moved.

An Rupan resisted the impulse, the so-called unstable foothold, this is likely to be wishful thinking, in case it can't be attacked, then even the disguise on the body is gone.

An Rupan decided to continue to make overtures to the Qin army and patiently waited for the best opportunity.

Two days later, Cui Feng, the general of the expedition to the south, rushed to Guiyang Mansion with an army of 10,000.

Cui Feng and Ma Liuliang are old acquaintances, but they don't have any friendship, on the contrary, Cui Feng used to look down on Ma Liuliang, who was full of gangsterism.

However, this time, Ma Liuliang was like a bamboo, and 3,000 people and horses actually defeated most of Guizhou at a magical speed, and even Cui Feng didn't dare to underestimate him anymore.

When He Tengjiao also hurried to Guiyang, Cui Feng immediately gathered everyone to discuss the matter of entering Yunnan.

In order to appease the morale of the Guiyang army, Chen Ruizheng and Zhang Yao were also invited.

Long Guangsheng, who was stationed in Guiyang at night, said to everyone: "According to the news we have gotten, Liu Wenxiu has captured Zunyi, and the intention of going south to Guiyang is already very obvious, at present, An Kun controls Wujiang Pass, Liu Wenxiu can't come for a while, but Shui'an is obedient on the surface, but we have to prevent him from making trouble, in case he colludes with Liu Wenxiu and leads him to Guiyang, it is difficult to say what the situation in Guizhou will become." Now the loyal marquis Qin Liangyu took advantage of Liu Wenxiu's main force to go south and was attacking Luzhou, if the loyal marquis could defeat Luzhou, he could go straight to Chishui and echo Guiyang with each other. ”

Cui Feng thought for a while and said: "Can the Marquis of Loyalty take down Luzhou, when will it be defeated, it's hard to say, we can't bet the treasure on her, over there in Yunnan, does Sha Dingzhou have a response?" ”

"General Hui, Sha Dingzhou is also ambitious, he already knows that our army has entered Guizhou, and it is intended to be in Yunnan. On the surface, he promised to serve our king as the master, but he did not want our army to enter Yunnan, that is to say, once our army entered Yunnan, it would have to have a battle with Shadingzhou. ”

Tang Yue said: "If this is the case, then Guizhou cannot be chaotic, and the post road must be unblocked, otherwise our army will be isolated and unsustainable." General Cui, the lower official suggested leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Guiyang, and for the time being, he would rather send fewer soldiers and horses into Yunnan. ”

Chen Ruizheng hurriedly interjected: "General Cui, please allow me to accompany the army on an expedition to Yunnan to repay the King of Qin's unabandonment of Longen." ”

Cui Feng did the math, Ma Liuliang plus Chen Guimin had 4,000 troops, and he brought 10,000 by himself, and Chen Ruizheng had about 5,000 people in Guiyang City, and the total was 19,000 people.

In addition, there are still 1,000 troops on the side of Songping in Shuidong, and there are still a small number of garrisons in the state capitals of Duyun and Liping, but those troops are already very weak to maintain local stability, and it is impossible to draw them again.

Chen Ruizheng himself expressed his willingness to fight in Yunnan with the army, which is naturally the best.

But there is still a question mark about the combat strength of the more than 5,000 people under his command, and Cui Feng does not want to transfer some soldiers and horses that waste grain and grass and are not helpful to fight to Yunnan.

However, Chen Ruizheng must be taken to Yunnan, and his 5,000 men and horses can stay in Guiyang, and let Chen Guimin lead the garrison, so that the soldiers will be separated, and this point is safe.

Cui Feng nodded to Chen Ruizheng in approval.

At this time, Ma Liuliang, who was proud of the spring breeze, said with a smile: "Didn't An Rupan express his willingness to belong to my Daqin, what are you polite to him, first, let him give up Wujiang Pass, and we will send troops and horses to defend, and second, let him send 10,000 troops to attack Yunnan with us." If he doesn't agree, we will take the opportunity to destroy him first to get rid of future troubles. ”

He Tengjiao stroked a handful of long beards and said: "What General Ma said is very reasonable, Wujiang is in the hands of An Rupan, it is not appropriate after all. And his 20,000 troops are stationed outside Guiyang City, which is more likely to become a confidant. ”

Cui Feng smiled coldly and said: "Master He, it's up to you to come forward and invite An Rupan to enter the city, well, just say that King Qin has a reward, let him receive the reward." ”

He Tengjiao knew in his heart that Cui Feng was determined to solve An Rupan first. If An Rupan is sincerely attached, there is no reason not to enter the city. If he insists on not entering the city, it means that he must have a ghost in his heart, so there is no need to be polite to him.

He Tengjiao has nothing to say, among the people seated, only he is the most suitable to invite An Rupan, and the dignified scholar of the James Mansion personally went out, which fully shows Daqin's sincerity. He got up and went out of the city with twenty guards.

Cui Feng then said: "If An Rupan refuses to enter the city, let's do it tonight, and strive to destroy the 20,000 horses outside his city in one fell swoop, once and for all." How to fight this battle, what are your ideas? ”

Tang Yue replied: "General Cui, it is unlikely that An Rupan will enter the city, and he will definitely guard against the attack of our army, and if he wants to sneak attack him at night, I am afraid it is also unlikely." ”

Chen Ruizheng's heart moved, and he said, "General Cui, I have an idea. ”

"Lord Chen, please speak."

Chen Ruizheng had just joined, and for fear that his position would be unstable, he had no reservations, and immediately whispered his idea.

When Cui Feng heard this, he couldn't help but high-five: "Okay, good idea, just do it." ”

After the decision was made, Ma Liuliang's angry scolding was soon heard in the Duyali, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard in half the street, and the soldiers standing guard outside were all sideways.

After a while, Chen Ruizheng rushed out of the capital in a hurry, his steps were a little staggering, his face was red and purple, Tang Yue followed out, persuaded him all the way, Chen Ruizheng seemed to be greatly insulted, no matter how Tang Yue persuaded him, chased him for half a street, he just ignored it and walked away.

He Tengjiao went to the military camp in Xi'an, Xi'an, and asked An Rupan to enter the city to accept the reward of the King of Qin. It stands to reason that An Rupan has already expressed his willingness to belong to Great Qin on the surface, and the king of Qin has been rewarded, so he should personally enter the city to pay respects.

But he has a ghost in his heart, where does he dare to enter the city? In a hurry, he couldn't find any other reason to excuse himself, so he claimed that he was unwell
