The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 825 Zhang Wang Waiting
The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, Du Fuwei ran to the front camp with his bloodshot eyes.

Last night, the Tang army indeed came again, and there were quite a few soldiers, no matter what, there were about 6 to [-] soldiers.These soldiers formed square formations outside the camp dignifiedly. The blazing torches illuminated the front of the camp like daylight, and they could be seen clearly with the help of binoculars. It was by no means a bluff. However, these soldiers of the Tang Army did not attack the camp at all. After Jun saw it clearly, he extinguished the torch, and just beat gongs and drums like this, just when you thought they had left, then lit the torch again, and let you see it again, as if he was afraid that he would not know Tang Jun It was the same outside, under the dark lights, they did not dare to send troops without authorization, for fear of falling into Tang Jun's tricks, so the stalemate continued until dawn.Now that it's dawn, Du Fuwei wants to see what they are up to.

"What the hell is Li Xiaogong up to? Has Tang Jun run away?" Du Fu asked Kan Leng angrily.

"Still." Kan Leng had a strange expression on his face, "Tang Jun is still sleeping."

"What? Sleeping under our noses?" Du Fuwei's eyeballs were bulging, and when he ran up to take a look, he almost bit off his tongue.

As Kan Leng said, except for some Tang soldiers patrolling the periphery, the rest sat on the landlord, swaying from side to side, sleeping soundly with their backs against their backs.

This……

Du Fuwei was stunned.

He swears that he has never seen such a daring enemy in his life. Even the bandits are more serious and responsible than the Tang Jun in front of him.

What the hell is this for?

Neither of them wants to live anymore?Still living impatiently?
At this moment, an unarmed general rode out and slowly came to the gate of the camp, ignoring the crossbow pointing at him, walked directly outside the gate under the eyes of everyone, and bowed with his hands clasped , Said loudly: "I am Lu Zushang, please tell General Du."

"I am Du Fuwei!" Du Fuwei also admired this person's courage, and said politely: "General Lu, what do you want to say?"

"At King Jing's order, I will lead [-] soldiers to surrender, and General Du will accept you." Lu Zushang said loudly, suppressing his sense of shame.

"..."

In an instant, the Sui camp was dead silent.

Everyone, including Du Fuwei, was shocked.

With [-] soldiers in hand, they still surrendered?
This is so unexpected.

"Is this true?" After a long time, Du Fuwei came back to his senses.

Lu Zushang said: "It's true."

"Can General Lu enter the camp for a briefing?"

"can."

When the gate of the camp opened, Lu Zushang walked in generously. Under the guard of Kan Leng, Du Fuwei greeted Lu Zushang and asked, "Why?"

"At this point, does General Du think it's necessary to fight again?" Lu Zushang didn't hide anything, and told the truth.

Du Fuwei and Kan Leng looked at each other.

Li Xiaogong actually ran away, throwing the tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed to Da Sui?

Du Fuwei pondered for a while, and said: "I don't want to lose my life in the Sui Dynasty, otherwise it won't be delayed until now, but this matter still needs to be decided by the commander of our army. I also ask General Lu to go back and restrain the soldiers of the Tang army, and prepare to accept the general. Compiled by Sui."

"Here." Lu Zushang responded and left the camp.

soon!

Yang Shanhui, who received the eagle letter, came with troops to formally accept Lu Zushang's surrender.

Although the surrender came quite suddenly to the Tang army, they did not resist or resist. On the contrary, when they heard that they would not have to fight the Sui army, bursts of cheers erupted.

In the final analysis, it was because Li Yuan's background in Jingzhou was too shallow and his management was not in place.Not long after these soldiers became citizens of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was sent to the battlefield one after another, and every battle ended in disastrous defeat, without any practical results.The generals and soldiers of the Tang army, who had suffered a lot of defeat and could not see any hope, were war-weary and fearful of war, and Li Yuan did not appease people's hearts, so that these Jingzhou soldiers who had lost their will to fight had long been unwilling to be "thin and ungrateful" The Li Tang Dynasty worked hard.

……

Yang Shanhui rode on a horse and watched the soldiers with dozens of generals, while Kan Leng was in charge of leading the army to collect the armor piled up in front of the camp.

Looking at the honest and well-behaved soldiers of the Tang army, Yang Shanhui said with emotion: "I, Yang Shanhui, have also fought countless battles. The scene of Wan soldiers surrendering to the enemy honestly, they are like this, not because the soldiers are unfaithful, but because of Li Yuan's injustice and stupidity. Look at what bad things Li Yuan has done since he entered Guanzhong. Spread out a map on the table, and then start a full-scale killing. It took Da Sui, Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, and Zhu Can all at once, without even a specific target. As a result, the troops were scattered and hit walls everywhere. From Guanzhong After escaping to Jingzhou, I still don’t have a long memory, so I’m still messing about here and there to see what he’s doing? First I fought with Xiao Mian, but before I wiped out Xiao Mian, I put down this side and started to do it with a feverish mind. Wang Shichong wiped out the buffer between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then fought with us...except for the enemy all over the world, he didn't get anything. What happened to Jingzhou by him? It's no wonder that he is committing crimes now These soldiers refused to sacrifice their lives for him."

Du Fuwei couldn't help being speechless.

Li Yuan who went down to Hedong and occupied Guanzhong was indeed overinflated, but after being defeated and fled to the south, Li Yuan didn't want to fight, but had to. Sui's opponent?Only by taking advantage of Yang Tong's focus on the outside world and creating a new situation before he has no time to deal with the princes of the Central Plains can he gain a firm foothold. If not, what is the difference from now?
Li Yuan's strategy is actually not wrong, the fault is that he chose the wrong direction of development, if he wholeheartedly pursued Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong, maybe the south of the Yangtze River would be his, but he chose to pursue Wang Shichong, a natural barrier, and Wang Shichong was finished. Li Shimin was also beaten to exhaustion, and in the end Da Sui was taken advantage of for nothing.

But thinking about it carefully, Du Fuwei felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Li Yuan was in the wrong direction. Otherwise, he, Du Fuwei, would very likely accept Li Yuan's surrender. There is a pile of loess, "Commander, there is one thing that is unknown at the end."

"What's the matter?" Yang Shanhui asked.

"Although Li Xiaogong has escaped, his ultimate goal is Xiangyang. Xiangyang already has about 3 garrisons. If we release Li Xiaogong's [-] people, then there will be about [-] elite soldiers in Xiangyang. Breaking through will at least double the difficulty." Looking at Yang Shanhui, Du Fuwei continued: "According to the general's opinion, although he has walked for three or four hours, with the speed of our cavalry, maybe he can still Can catch up to..."

"Li Xiaogong can't escape." Yang Shanhui smiled and said, "I just need to wait for the news."

"The marshal is talking about General Luo?" Du Fuwei was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, General Luo set up his net yesterday."
