Chapter 80 Surrender without a fight
Li Wenhou's tent!

This place is full of his father and son's direct troops, not to mention the various chieftains, even Beigong Boyu, it is impossible to put people in.

After all, the team is now bigger, and the forces of all parties are mixed in it, and the interests involved are getting bigger and bigger, so some things must be distinguished.

Friendship belongs to friendship, interests belong to interests.

This is for everyone's benefit.

When Li Yao came here, everyone would respectfully salute, but if he wanted to enter the camp, he still had to notify and get permission.

Although the process is like this, there is no possibility that Li Wenhou will not see him.

Then Li Yao strode into the tent, Li Wenhou, Li Yan, Li Lin, and two young people in their 20s.

The two were Li Yao's cousins, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze.

All of them are completely trustworthy family members.

For Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze, their uncle and cousin suddenly rebelled, and their father was also dragged onto the pirate ship. They have been on the ship all the time, and there is no possibility of getting off the ship.

But in other words, they are all educated, and they are not reconciled to living in a small remote county all the time.

Although rebellion is not the right path, it can finally show its strengths.

And for the benefit of the family, since Zhao Xian followed the rebellion, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ze had to join in.

Li Yao walked in, looked at the crowd and said with a smile:

"I am back!"

Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao with a smile on his face:
"During this period of time, we have done a good job, and the army has not been hindered in any way!"

Zhao Yang, Zhao Ze, Li Yan, and Li Lin all looked happy when they saw Li Yao, but it's not suitable for them to reminisce about the old days.

Li Yao shook his head, then continued to say with a smile:

"The imperial court was also frightened by us and chose to abandon Liangzhou on its own initiative. Although it caused us a lot of trouble on the way, it can provide a lot of help for what we have to do..."

"I think this Longxi prefect doesn't have much intention of resisting. He even sent people to negotiate with us instead of sending troops to attack. It's time for Jincheng prefect and Qiang captain to play a role. Including Han Yue and Bian Yun, maybe we can take this city just by coercion and lure."

"Really!" Li Wenhou was a little surprised. Originally, he planned to arrange a strong attack tomorrow, but now it seems that if the prefect of Longxi is willing to surrender voluntarily, it can save them a lot of time and energy:

"Then do this, A Yang, A Ze, you guys make arrangements to write a letter to the prefect of Longxi in the names of Chen Yi, Ling Zheng, Han Yue, and Bian Yun. The general meaning is to persuade him to open the city and surrender. His benefits will definitely not be lost..."

"Ayan, Alin, go find Chen Yi, Lingzheng... tell them to be honest, and find a way to persuade the prefect of Longxi to surrender."

The four of them took a step forward when they heard the words, and they all saluted and responded:

"only!"

Li Wenhou's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his voice became a little high-pitched:
"After taking Didao down, the only one standing in front of our army is Jixian County. After taking Jixian County again, we can meet in Anding, and Lingqiang in the north will be the first, and our army will be able to enter Guanzhong directly. That is the land of Sanfu, where the old capital Chang'an is..."

Zhao Yang frowned slightly. He wanted to remind his uncle not to trust the barbarians too much, but Li Wenhou was so happy, so he didn't speak for the time being, thinking of trying to persuade him another day.

Zhao Ze also believes that things are not as easy as Li Wenhou said. That is Chang'an, that is Sanfu, the heartland of the big man, and it cannot be easily taken away by others.

Looking at Li Yan, Li Lin already had an excited look on his face, and he was quite contemptuous in his heart. Sure enough, a bastard is a bastard, and he has no vision.

Looking at Li Yao again, calm and steady, he nodded secretly in his heart, his cousin was more trustworthy.

Zhao Xian let them enter the army, in addition to gaining Li Wenhou's trust, it was to prevent Li Wenhou from making wrong decisions as much as possible, which eventually led to the catastrophe of the two families being wiped out.

The two of them are already deeply bound, and they are already on the same boat. Whether it is the desire for power in their hands or the pursuit of family continuation, they must do their best to assist Li Wenhou, and there must be no mistakes.

As for Li Yao himself, he knew it well, he never thought of capturing Chang'an, or even Luoyang.

The Yellow Turban Uprising won't survive this year. At that time, the elite of the Han Dynasty will fight over under the leadership of Huangfusong, but as long as there is chaos in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, there will be no food and grass, and lack of logistics.

Then don't think about being able to make a large-scale westward expedition, let alone the Hehuang Grassland, they can't even fight the Longshan Highland.

Everyone with their own minds started to do their own things, and the night passed, and the next day soon came.

It is now the middle of May, the weather is getting warmer, and today is another beautiful day.

Cook at Mao, set off at Chen, gather the army, and march to Didao.

out of town!

The banners cover the sky, and after this person reaches [-], the boundless and terrifying aura can make people feel frightened.

And in the city!

At this time, Li Shen came to the top of the city and looked at the tens of thousands of rebels outside the city. Not only was he not afraid this time, he even had a relaxed smile on his face.

He yelled, and got the crowd to yell, before his words really spread:
"Chen Yi, Ling Zheng, come out and answer!"

Soon, two people rode out from among the rebels, one of them was Chen Yi, and the other was Ling Zheng:

"Xiangru, long time no see!"

Seeing that it was indeed them, Li Jian immediately shouted:
"Why did you rebel?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi didn't say anything, or Lingzheng was more aware of current affairs:

"It's not a rebellion, it's about Qingjun's side. You just need to open the city gate today, and I will never make things difficult. I will also send you out of Liangzhou, and I can even take whatever you want."

After hearing this, Li Shen was very moved. He didn't want to be involved in the rebellion. He just wanted to leave with his own money and food. Finally, he repeatedly confirmed:
"Dare you swear?"

Lingzheng shook his head, he didn't refuse, but sighed:
"I, Lingzheng, swear to the sky, there is absolutely no lie in what I said today, if you violate it, the sky will be struck by lightning, and you will die!"

Li Shen finally felt relieved, he turned around and looked at the people on the left and right:

"Now that tens of thousands of rebels have gathered outside, it is absolutely impossible for us to defend the city. Now that the imperial court has abandoned Liangzhou, we are not abandoning the land... Let's open the city gate!"

It's the imperial court that doesn't want Liangzhou first, they really don't need to stick to it.

So the gates of the city were opened, and Didao surrendered without a fight.

As the army quickly entered the city, Li Shen was soon caught outside the city. He glared at Ling Zheng and scolded angrily:

"Ling Zheng, what are you doing? You swore an oath!"

At this time Lingzheng was a little gloating, but also a little sad:
"Xiangru, I know I made an oath, and I want to let you go, but they...don't listen to me..."

Ancient times attached great importance to oaths, but it is not impossible to take advantage of loopholes.

 Li Shen, whose characters are similar, originally rebelled with Han Sui in the original history, and he was not a loyal person of the Han Dynasty.
