Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4440 Guanlong ends
Xianyang bridgehead, cold wind and rain, Yu Wenshi felt sad for a while, thinking that the Guanlong clan was led by him to support the king of Jin to fight for the throne, and it is very likely to end up in a miserable end, and even the last bit of family wealth of each family will be buried here At this place, Guan Long was destroyed by him, how could he have the face to meet Guan Long's elders?
Extremely sad and indignant, Yuwen Shiji simply cut himself off with a knife, and it's over...

A spiked arrow pierced through the wind and rain and shot Yuwen Shihe's right arm holding the knife. The sharp arrows pierced through the flesh and nailed into the bone. Let go and wither on the ground.

"oops!"

Yuwen Shiji exhaled in pain, looking at the white feather with the tail of the arrow trembling on his arm, cold sweat mixed with rain fell instantly.

However, this arrow also prevented Yuwen Shiji from committing suicide, causing his inner thoughts to disappear, and the servants and generals around him quickly surrounded him, and he was about to evacuate backwards, trying to break through.

Enduring the severe pain, Yuwen Shiji looked up and saw Niu Jinda who was putting a strong bow on the side of the saddle and lifting the long lance in the distance, with irresistible frustration in his heart, he sighed and said: "Send the order, don't resist, Surrender on the spot."

An Yuanshou led You Xiaowei out of the battlefield, which made him surrounded by Zuo Wuwei and made it difficult to fly. An Yuanshou and Cheng Yaojin didn't want too many casualties, so they stopped in tacit agreement, while he was "betrayed" to Cheng Yao gold.

Looking around, there are enemies rushing in like a tide, and only the wind and rain pass through the inner three floors and the outer three floors. How can we be against it?
Since he knew he was invincible, what's the point of fighting until the last soldier to bury all the remaining bones and blood of the Guanlongmen Clan here?
"Kingdom!"

"Homeowner!"

Left and right heard that he was about to surrender, and they all exclaimed.

Yuwen Shiji turned over and got off his horse, the trembling arrow shaft made him break out in cold sweat and his face was pale, the left and right generals hurried forward to help, and the military attendant took out a dagger to cut off the arrow shaft, there was no time to deal with it better on the battlefield, so he had to Bandage the shaft with the arrow tuft and wait until later to remove the arrow tuft.

Yuwen Shiji said to the left and right: "Now we are surrounded, and An Yuanshou has withdrawn from the battlefield because of his treachery. We can't break through the siege of Zuo Wuwei alone, so there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices."

The soldiers and family generals shouted loudly: "So what? You can only die!"

"Even if our Guanlong man dies, we must charge against the enemy and never run away!"

"Not to mention begging for surrender!"

Yuwen Shiji raised his uninjured left hand, the noise around him gradually died down, and then he said: "Sometimes death is not difficult, just like what you said, we Guanlong men have traveled across the northern part of the Great Wall and established a foundation for hundreds of years. I don’t know how many ancestors buried their bones in yellow sand and bathed in blood in Guanzhong... However, you are already the last blood of Guan Long. If you all die here, Guan Long will be completely wiped out. Everyone, at this moment , Survival is the greatest strength!"

He looked around and saw that his old eyes had been blurred by rain and tears. Then he adjusted his clothes, bowed to the ground, and said in a mournful voice, "I beg you all to live a good life and pass on Guan Long's bloodline. In this way, old man Grateful."

"Wow!" The left and right soldiers and generals all dismounted from their horses and knelt down on one knee. Armor blades clanged and their blades collided. Hundreds of people said in unison: "Duke, don't do it!"

"Patriarch, how can we bear it?"

"Definitely live up to the hope of the Patriarch!"

The soldiers farther away didn't know what happened, but when they saw the soldiers and generals of the Chinese army lying down, they stopped fighting one after another, shrinking their formation to the center in a daze, allowing the surrounding rebels to surround them densely like a tide.

……

Niu Jinda naturally knew that Cheng Yaojin wanted to wipe out this Guanlong private army, and the most important thing was to capture Yuwen Shiji alive. This would be a great achievement, enough for Cheng Yaojin to turn around in front of Li Chengqian. There is also a wider room for maneuver for the crime of "weak stand".

So when he rode and charged, he saw Yuwen Shiji from afar wanting to kill himself with a knife, so he quickly drew his bow and set up an arrow and shot it. Fortunately, his archery skills were passable, and he hit Yuwen Shiji's arm, preventing him from committing suicide, and at the same time, he did not make a mistake. shoot him with one arrow...

When he saw that the tens of thousands of private troops in Guanlong stopped fighting and gathered and retreated towards the Chinese army, Niu Jinda knew that the opponent had given up struggling, which was a wise move.

He hastened to send an order, all the troops surrounded the private army of Guanlong closely, but kept a certain distance from each other to prevent conflicts due to misunderstanding, just compress the enemy in one place, and then quickly notify Cheng Yaojin.

When Cheng Yaojin came, more than ten thousand Guanlong private soldiers had squatted on the ground, put down their weapons and surrendered on the spot...

Cheng Yaojin heaved a long sigh of relief, and asked people to bring Yuwen Shiji to him, dismounted himself to check his injuries, and then ordered the doctor to treat him quickly, and then said with a gentle smile: "Mr. For these Guanlong children to not suffer from the pain of massacre, I have made a decisive decision. I admire you very much. Duke Ying, rest assured that I am not a bloodthirsty person. Since these soldiers have surrendered, they will be properly resettled and there will be no abuse. This happened. After all, we are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many relatives in our army who belong to the same clan and origin, brothers and sisters, so why kill each other and kill each other?"

He defended the Xianyang Bridge, defeated the private army of Guanlong, and captured Yuwen scholars alive. Such a great contribution made Cheng Yaojin smile all over his face and feel very good.

No matter how much hesitation before, no matter how much he swayed from side to side, no matter how dissatisfied His Majesty was, so what?As long as the present meritorious service is enough, it is enough to make meritorious service and eliminate all the dissatisfaction of His Majesty.

This Yuwen scholar is simply a gift for nothing. Our old Cheng is very particular about people, and we must treat each other well...

Yuwen Shiji's face was ashen, and he was in a trance. He didn't even feel the pain when the doctor used a dagger to remove the cross-shaped wound on his arm and took out the arrow cluster. It was only when the wound was cleaned with alcohol that he trembled all over. For a moment, he recovered a little sanity.

Then he raised his head to look at Niu Jinda, and sighed, "Why did Jinda shoot that arrow? To this day, the old man has no face to face Guan Long's elders, and he is even more ashamed of the Guan Long family clan. It's better to die and settle everything."

It is said that living is worse than dying, but sometimes death is the best escape, and living is the cruelest torture.

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Niu Jinda who was standing silently with his hands tied aside, and gave a compliment with his eyes. The arrow saved Yuwen Shiji, which was like holding a great achievement in his hands. The living Yuwen Shiji and the dead Yuwen Shiji Scholars and are definitely meritorious service of different magnitudes.

He stepped forward to support Yuwen Shiji's shoulders, and said in relief, "Why should Duke Ying be like this? This mutiny failed, and Guan Long suffered the most brutal blow. It is precisely you who are highly respected and talented like you are needed to lead the Guanlong clan out of the trough." , you are happy when you die, can you let the Guanlongmen Clan sink down until it disappears? Your Majesty is generous, although you are punished for your crime, it will definitely not affect your life. Maybe there is something important to say indefinite."

These words are not to deceive Yuwen Shiji to prevent him from continuing to seek death. As the de facto leader of the Guanlongmen Clan, Yuwen Shiji still has a very high status. How could he kill the leader of Guanlong?
As long as Yuwen Shiji is alive, the Guanlongmen Clan will be under His Majesty's control, slowly eliminate the Guanlongmen Clan's hostility and hatred, and then slowly uproot the Guanlongmen Clan's foundation and use it for his own use. This is truly brilliant strategy.

Far more useful than completely annihilating the Guanlongmen Clan...

Yuwen Shiji also understood this truth, there is a great fear between life and death, a surge of courage under the emotional agitation earlier supported him to commit suicide and apologize, but now that the blood has dissipated, how can he still have the courage to seek death and commit suicide?
He could only shake his head and sigh, without further words.

Cheng Yaojin invited Yuwen Shihe to the south side of the official road to temporarily act as a post station for the command post, entertained him with delicious food, drink and clothes, and stabilized his mood. Don't let this "walking feat" fly away, Then the troops were organized to guard the surrendered Guanlong private army one by one, and Niu Jinda led the army to approach Weishui River, continuously monitor the movements of You Xiaowei to prevent him from crossing the river again, and then sent people to Chang'an to deliver the good news.

An Yuanshou led the remnants of the defeated generals back to the north of the Weishui River. His heart was lost and his morale was exhausted. He set off westward and returned to the Liangzhou garrison without any stop. With full support, they must not be dismantled and bribed by the court, otherwise the foundation of the An clan in Xiliang is very likely to collapse completely.

Riding to the west, looking back at the majestic Xianyang Bridge in the wind and rain, the ambitions when we came have already been exhausted with the tumbling and flowing Weishui. An Yuanshou sighed, regretting that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous Everywhere, there is a catastrophe of overturning at every turn, and I don't know how to deal with it.

*****
In the Tai Chi Palace, fierce battles are in full swing.

Since Li Zhi took the lead in battle, Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Cui Xin and others all withdrew from Zhaode Hall and returned to Chengtianmen. In Hengzhenji, there are still endless fierce battles and bloody battles in the Tai Chi Palace, and all the news is gathered here.

Until the news of Li Daozong's defeat and capture came, the three of them drove out all the school lieutenants and scribes, and sat in the duty room looking at each other, speechless.

The raindrops were carried by the wind and knocked on the window, knocking everyone's minds into chaos.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly fell to this point. Even if Li Jing and Xue Wanche had not led the army into the city for reinforcements, the army of King Jin was about to end in a disastrous defeat. The three had to make a decision for their own future and the inheritance and reproduction of the family.
