Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 196
The two of them looked at each other affectionately under the moon, and when Zhen Mi said it, countless emotions rushed into Chen Tian's heart, intertwined into a feeling that he didn't know how to describe.

"Zhen'er, take good care of your baby in the future, and the orphan will come to visit you often. This son, no matter male or female, is my flesh and blood."

There was a faint movement in Zhen Mi's heart, a few traces of imperceptible guilt flashed across her eyes, she nodded her head, Chen Tian just smiled indifferently, picked Zhen Mi up and walked back to the dormitory.

As soon as the red candle was extinguished, the curtain fell, and in the tent, there was no more words between the two, only physical contact, a scene of spring quietly unfolded, and the sound of panting continued all night long. ([-] words omitted here...)
The stars in the south are above the chessboard-like sky, and under the emperor star, a star refracts a faint golden light. Xu Maogong, who watched the stars at night, stood in front of the mansion. Under the emperor star, this is the star of father and son!"

……

The next day, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining.

In the main hall of the palace, Chen Tian was sitting on the king's chair with a radiant face like a freshman, scanning the civil and military personnel on both sides, Hua Rong and Hua Fengchun also rushed back.

Zhang Pu walked out of the queue with the documents prepared in advance, handed them over to the desk and said, "I report to Your Highness, our Xiangyang army plus the newly surrendered prisoners of war has a total strength of [-] troops."

Chen Tian picked up the document and glanced at it, nodded, and then asked Zhang Zhao who was at the side: "Zibu, how many troops can be raised in Guxiangyang and even Jingbei, and how many years can the maximum number of troops be fed?"

Zhang Zhao stepped forward and answered, "His Royal Highness, Jingbei can support up to 13 troops, and the food stored in front of us can feed up to 13 troops for six years."

"Very good, Commander Xu, I would like to trouble you and General Zhao to hurry up and recruit as many troops as possible. In addition, General Zhang, you and the fifth general should train recruits as soon as possible, and prepare to sweep Jiangdong in the future, and kill Du Fuwei and Xiao Xiao's disciples." .”

"Follow the king's orders!"

Xu Maogong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Wu Yunzhao each proudly agreed.

Chen Tian immediately said to Zhang Pu: "Send someone to invite General Zuo, General Shang, and the Pei family to the hall."

Zhang Pu nodded, and went down to send someone to invite the defeated and captured generals of the Sui Army.

Half a minute later, Zuo Tiancheng, Shang Shitu, Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing, Pei Yuanfu, Pei Yuanshao and others stepped into the main hall, but their faces were rebellious, showing no intention of surrendering.

"The prisoner of war kneels when he sees His Highness!"

Seeing the six people entering the main hall and standing proudly in front of the throne, Zhang Fei didn't ask for courtesy or kneel down, so he immediately roared and was about to go up and get rough.

Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to do something bad, Chen Tian hurriedly shouted: "Yide is stepping down, I have a plan for myself."

Zhang Fei had no choice but to hold back the anger in his stomach, and retreated to the side. After drinking Zhang Fei, Chen Tian's tone became gentle, and he said to the six people.

"Six generals, the Sui Emperor is now unpopular with the people. Wars and turmoil have been frequent for years, and the lonely old man has won the support of the people. Seeing the six generals today is really a rare general. I don't know what you think if you want to surrender?"

"I, Zuo Tiancheng, was born as a member of the Sui Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Sui Dynasty. I will never serve the second master. Today I just want to give me a good time!"

The other five people hadn't spoken yet, Zuo Tiancheng came out first, with loyalty burning between his brows, he said with pride as if death was at home.

As soon as the words were finished, hurried footsteps sounded, and a Shenxing Pavilion scout hurried in.

"I would like to report to Your Highness that Yang Guang ordered the execution of Master Shang and his disciples. The family members of Zuo Tiancheng and Zuo Tiancheng have already bloodbathed Lintong Pass and Sishui Pass. They beheaded their families and hung their heads above the city gates to warn the people."

Hearing this, Zuo Tiancheng and Master Shang and his disciples were shocked, their eyes were full of disbelief, "What did you say!"

Chen Tian looked at Jia Xu and Xu Maogong, and sighed helplessly, although it cut off the worries of Master Shang and Zuo Tiancheng, but it would be too cruel to have all his family members beheaded.

Seeing that Chen Tian couldn't bear it, Xu Maogong stepped forward and said to the two of them: "General Zuo, General Shang, you have also seen that Sui Emperor Yang Guang is cruel and innocent, so why are you going to kill your relatives for this reason? Is the enemy loyal?"

The two were silent.

After a long time, Zuo Tiancheng let out a sad and proud laugh, "I, Zuo Tian, ​​served half my life as a soldier of the late emperor, but now I have ended up in such a fate. It's a trick of fate! Since Da Sui is powerless to recover, I don't need to live in In the world, I can only die to thank Zhong!"

While the scouts were not paying attention, Zuo Tiancheng dodged the precious sword at his waist, the silver sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed on his neck, a bright red dyed the flying dust in the air, and then annihilated and fell.

Zuo Tiancheng would rather die than surrender, even in the end when his family was ruined, he was still loyal to Sui in his heart.

Seeing Zuo Tiancheng committing suicide, Master Shang's eyes were fixed, without any hesitation, he grabbed the blood-stained sword, and was about to die one after another to show his loyalty.

"stop!"

Wu Yunzhao drew out the silver sword at his waist, and hurriedly swung it forward, blocking the sharp edge less than an inch away from his neck.

After blocking the blade, he knocked the sword to the ground with a hand knife.

Wu Yunzhao looked at Master Shang and his disciples, and said with resentment and sympathy: "Master and disciple, you and I are in the same situation now. Back then, Yang Guang killed me and surrounded my Nanyang with soldiers. Today, Yang Guang sent people to wash Lintong Pass and slaughter your whole family. Don't you think so?" Do you want to be obsessed with being buried with that stupid king?"

Master Shang and his disciples were silent for a moment, but they just said coldly: "The salary of eating the emperor must be loyal to the emperor."

"It's a big mistake! Yang Guang killed his father and brother, slaughtered all the loyal people in the court, Yang Jian, whom you are loyal to, has long been buried in the loess, if you use unnecessary sacrifices to exchange the so-called loyalty, it is foolish loyalty!"

Wu Yunzhao sneered sarcastically after hearing this, sonorously and forcefully refuted the inner thoughts of Master Shang and his disciples.

"I……"

The firm heart in Master Shang's heart began to be touched, and he lowered his head in silence, obviously affirming what Wu Yunzhao said.

Chen Tian speculated about the psychological changes of Master Shang and his apprentice, pondered for a moment, and said: "General Shang, Gu understands your current mood, so you might as well think about it for a few more days, and don't seek short-sightedness. If you don't want to work for Gu, Gu will not." If you are willing to make things difficult for others, I will let you go."

"Thank you, King Qiantang, for your compassion."

Master Shang agreed, looked at Zuo Tiancheng's body in a blink of an eye, and begged again, "I hope the king of Qiantang can bury General Zuo in a safe life."

Chen Tian nodded, he had already made arrangements in his mind, and turned his attention to Pei Renji, asking: "General Pei, are you willing to submit to Gu Dachen and overthrow the tyranny of Yang Guang?"

Pei Renji remained silent, while Pei Yuanqing walked up to Pei Renji and yelled, "Father, surrender, this country where treacherous ministers rule, I'm sorry for the sacrifices of brothers!"

"Father, we are in Xiangyang now. Anyway, we won't be able to be reused by the imperial court, so we might as well surrender!"

As soon as Pei Yuanqing mobilized, Pei Yuanfu and Pei Yuanshao began to persuade Pei Renji to surrender.

However, Pei Renji sighed and said full of distress: "It's not that I don't want to surrender, it's just that your mother and your sister are missing now. If they fall into the hands of the imperial court, I'm afraid..."
