Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 329 Hasty Surrender
"I'm anxious."

Xia Shuo's reaction almost made Zhao Wu stagger and fall into the big tent of the Chinese army. Seeing Xia Shuo really got up and went out, Zhao Wu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "General Xia, the matter is not over yet, you go out." What Gong? Do you believe me or not, how do you deal with this nonsense letter from the traitor, you just say a word?"

"Supervisor Zhao, the general is really in a hurry." Xia said with a wry smile, and said, "Is it okay to wait for the general to come back after his convenience?"

If it was changed to normal times, Zhao Wu, who is used to bullying Xia Shuo, would definitely not be so easy to talk to. However, the situation is different now. Zhao Wu has already been suspected of collaborating with the enemy. In Xia Shuo's hands, Zhao Wu certainly couldn't take things too far, so after gritting his teeth, Zhao Wu stepped aside helplessly, letting Xia Shuo leave his sight alone for the first time today, also Get away from the surveillance of your own guards.

When Xia Shuo walked out of the large tent of the Chinese army, it was already getting dark, and the barracks was already full of torches and bonfires. Facing the night view of the barracks, Xia Yue first took a deep breath of fresh air outside the tent and forced himself to After calming down, he said to himself in his heart: "We can decide, should we continue to follow Zhang Erpifu all the way to Hei, or give up my general's wife and children in Julu City and join the Ming Lord?"

Xia said that of course he knew that Zhang Er's confidant Zhao Wu would never cooperate with the enemy, and he also knew very well that the Han army intentionally framed Zhao Wu, so that he could turn against the enemy and take down Zhao Wu who had the power to dismiss or even execute him. Under the circumstance of being disturbed, he led the Jingxing Zhao army to surrender to the Han army, and he had to admire the Han army's good intentions and vicious methods-how much damage must it have to be in order to come up with such a vicious way to help himself?
Xia said that he had to find an excuse to temporarily abandon Zhao Wu, because Zhao Wu was always accompanied by his guards, and he must have an edict in his hand that could replace him at any time. If he hits and kills, it is very likely that he will be harmed, so Xia said that if he wants to make up his mind, he can only temporarily put aside Zhao Wu and fully grasp all the initiative.

"This is Lao Tzu's opportunity. If I make up my mind to join Mingzhu again, as long as I use that letter as an excuse to take Zhao Wu down, I will have plenty of time and opportunity to act. The reverse is also the same. If I am determined to continue to follow Zhang Er, as long as you don’t pay attention to the hints from the traitors, continue to work together with Zhao Wu until Zhang Ao’s reinforcements arrive tomorrow, Zhang Er just can’t figure out Lao Tzu’s loyalty to him! Where should I go, how should I choose?”

At the critical moment that determines the future of his destiny, Xia Shuo suddenly remembered many past events. He remembered that he was appreciated by Chen Yu, he was regarded as a confidant by Chen Yuyi, and he was even entrusted by Chen Yu to stay in the mainland of Zhao as his backup. After Chen Yu suddenly fell from power, in order to change his family, he humiliated, flattered, and suffered all kinds of humiliation and grievances in front of Zhang Er's party, and his heart couldn't help burning with raging anger...

"Zhang Erpifu, it was you who apologized to Lao Tzu first! Lao Tzu used to be Chen Yu's person, but after Chen Yu fell from power, Lao Tzu has never done anything to apologize to you! On the contrary, it is you and your henchmen I am sorry for everything, I have been bullying me all the time! This time I was ordered to garrison Jingxing, and before the Han thieves came over, you sent an eyeliner to stare at me, and you are ready to kill me at any time! Since you are not benevolent Don’t blame Lao Tzu for retaliation!”

"I did this because I felt sorry for my parents, wife and children, but there are too many people who are sorry for their parents, wives and children in this world! When Zhang Erpifu betrayed Zhang Chu, when did he consider his parents, wife and children? As long as they If I can save my life, when I and the King of Han army enter Julu, I will double pay them back!"

In his heart he murmured viciously to himself. In fact, Xia Shuo, who deeply hated Zhang Er's party to the bone, also made up his mind, and immediately ordered the soldiers around him: "Go, transfer my direct army Come, surround the big tent of the Chinese army! Tell me, no one inside is allowed to let go!"

At the same time, in Zhao Jun's large tent, Zhao Wu, who vaguely felt that something was wrong, also made up his mind. First he touched the Zhang Er warrant hidden in his arms, and then whispered to his guards: "After a while Speaking of which, if I say take it down, don't hesitate, go up and take him down immediately! No matter what happens, don't be afraid, I will take care of it!"

Of course, Zhao Wu underestimated Xia Shuo's determination and means. It was only when Xia Shuo's direct army suddenly surrounded the large tent of the Chinese Army that Zhao Wu realized that he had seriously underestimated Xia Shuo. However, Zhao Wu refused to give up and was about to rush out The Chinese army's big tent checked the situation and expelled the soldiers to leave as a supervising army. Xia said that he had strode in surrounded by a group of Zhao soldiers who were fully armed, and when they met, he shouted: "Take Zhao Wu to this general! "

"promise!"

Zhao Wu's soldiers sang promises in unison, and immediately raised their weapons and stepped forward to surround Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu's guards were shocked and quickly showed their weapons to protect Zhao Wu. Say, you are so courageous! What do you want to do? I am the supervisor of the army, and you dare to take me down?!"

"Shut up! You shameless traitorous bastard!"

The grievances accumulated for a long time have completely turned into monstrous anger, and they have also completely erupted. He drew his sword and pointed at Zhao Wu. Xia Shuo's eyes were full of red light, and he roared: "In order to covet glory and wealth, you will not hesitate to collude with the traitors to prepare Framed this general, the evidence is conclusive, and now you dare to use the identity of the military supervisor to suppress me?! If you are smart, immediately put down your weapon and surrender, or you will be shot!"

"That's the traitor's slander!" Zhao Wu hurriedly explained, and shouted, "I didn't! Don't be fooled by the traitor!"

"Stop talking nonsense! This general will naturally investigate whether you have been wronged!" Xia said that he retorted confidently, and then shouted: "Take it down! If you resist, you will be shot!"

"Drop your weapons! Put down your weapons!"

The generals and soldiers of the Zhao army who surrounded Zhao Wu and his entourage shouted in unison, carrying their weapons and advancing step by step. Zhao Wu's entourage was at a loss and could only turn their eyes to Zhao Wu for help. Li took out Zhang Er's warrant and shouted to the soldiers of the Zhao State who surrounded him: "See clearly! This is the warrant written by Zhang Xiangguo of our Zhao State. Let me replace Xia Shuopifu to take over the Jingxing army! Now you Under my command, take down Xia Shuo for me!"

It was Zhao Jun's turn to look at Xia Shuo, but Xia Shuo laughed grimly and said, "So what if there is a warrant from the Prime Minister? You are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Now that the general has ironclad evidence in hand, why should he hand over the military power?" for you?"

After saying that, Xia Shuo revealed his seal of military power, and shouted: "Here is the seal! Generals of the State of Zhao, let me take down the traitor Zhao Wu immediately for this general! What responsibility does this general bear alone!"

After all, Xia Shuo is directly under the army, and he is used to obeying Xia Shuo's orders. In addition, Zhao Wu, the supervisor, is not very popular with the army, so the generals of the Zhao army did not hesitate, and immediately stepped forward again, and directly fought with Zhao Wu's guards. After getting started, no matter how Zhao Wu yelled with Zhang Er's warrant, he didn't care about it. Zhao Wu was completely helpless, knowing that if he persisted, he would die. Said: "Stop fighting! Put down your weapons! Let them take us down!"

According to Zhao Wu's order, his entourage could only obediently put down their weapons and catch him without a fight. Zhao Wu also dropped the sword in his hand and let Xia Shuo's soldiers hold him down. Xia Shuo snorted coldly and stepped forward to grab him Zhang Er issued a warrant to deprive him of his military power, and then said with a smirk, "You're smart!"

"I really underestimated this poor man before!"

Zhao Wu secretly sighed in his heart, and had to admit that he had misjudged Xia Shuo, was deceived by his flattery and obedience, and took it lightly, so that he fell into today's field.However, when things got to this point, Zhao Wu could only hold back his anger, and said in a low voice: "General Xia, I know that you have done nothing wrong. If I am in your position and encountered today's incident, for safety's sake For the sake of safety, I must first take down the official himself. So you can rest assured that even if the truth comes out in the future, the official will never care about what happened today, and will only respect you more."

"Cheat me like a three-year-old kid? There will be a day when you can spare me?" Xia Shuo snorted coldly in his heart, but said: "Thank you, Supervisor Zhao, for understanding the difficulties of the last general. Come here, and take care of Supervisor Zhao and him." All his entourages were taken to the side tent, so as to be guarded, and they are absolutely not allowed to contact outsiders! If they dare to run away, they will be executed immediately!"

Xia said the soldiers sang promises, and immediately came up with Zhao Wu and others. Zhao Wu didn't dare to resist, so he could only quickly remind: "General Xia, I don't mind what happened today, but please don't forget about Zhao Wu. The king's great kindness to you, and your wife and children in Julu City! Your wife and children!"

Xia said that he didn't take Zhao Wu's fault, but only urged his soldiers to take Zhao Wu and others away immediately, and sent people to order each battalion, declaring that Zhao Wu was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and had been captured by himself, and asked the generals of each battalion to continue to do their own thing. He took good care of his soldiers and did not leave his camp without an order. Then, without blinking his eyelids, he immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter asking the Han army to surrender, and arranged for absolutely trustworthy personal soldiers to hand over to the Han army overnight. Send it to ask the Han army to send troops to support him and lead the army to surrender.

Not to mention, because Xia said that he was pretty good to the soldiers at ordinary times - at least he didn't forget to add food to the soldiers of the Zhao army when they were doing hard work, and what Zhao Wu did a few days ago greatly offended the soldiers of the Zhao army. So even though there was a huge change in the camp of the Chinese army, after receiving the order sent by Xia Shuo, the Zhao army's battalions really did not fear that even one army might mutiny, and they all stayed in their own camps obediently and missed it. Best chance to stop Xia Shuo's mutiny.

The Han army was obviously well prepared. Just after the fourth watch, Uncle Zhou had already personally led [-] Han troops to the outside of the Zhao army with torches. In the camp of the Chinese army, he let his own soldiers surround the big tent of the Chinese army, and then took out the so-called Zhao Xieyi belt edict, which Zhao Jun secretly copied, and read it aloud in public. Follow him to surrender to the Han army, and help the Han army to defeat Zhang Er, the treacherous prime minister of Zhao who deceived the emperor and seized power!
After all, it was Zhang Er who assigned Xia Shuo's army. Even if his life was in the hands of the enemy, two generals of the Zhao army still jumped out and scolded Xia Shuo for his shameless behavior. Xia Shuo was furious and immediately ordered his soldiers to hack the two generals to death. , the other generals of the Zhao army saw the fear, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they could only clap their fists and sing promises. The generals of the Zhao army went to the gate of the camp to surrender to Uncle Zhou, and at the same time sent an order to the whole army, asking all the soldiers of the Zhao army to put down their weapons and surrender, and instead accept the management and command of the Han army.

It was only at this time that the soldiers in the Zhao army camp rebelled by force. Fortunately, the gate of the camp had been taken over by the soldiers of the Han army. The Han army quickly entered the camp to suppress the rebellion, and soon suppressed the riot. After being killed, only Xiao Bancheng escaped from the camp at night and returned to Jingxing. Seeing that the situation was over, the other soldiers of the Zhao army obediently obeyed the order, put down their weapons and surrendered to the soldiers of the Han army who arrived at the Jingxing battlefield this afternoon.

During this period, of course, Xia Shuo came to Uncle Zhou and prostrated himself to surrender. Uncle Zhou, who succeeded in the treachery, laughed happily, dismounted himself and helped Xia Shuo, comforted Xia with good words, and used the power that Xiang Kang lent him Xia Shuo was conferred the title of Marquis of Quyang in public, gave food to thousands of households in the city, [-] pieces of gold and [-] pieces of jade, and made him Minister of the State of Zhao. Mister is alive again.

The matter was not over yet, after being accompanied by Xia Shuo and comforting the generals of the Zhao army who were coerced into surrendering, Uncle Zhou thought of a big question again, and hurriedly asked Xia Shuo: "Mr. Said to send you reinforcements? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"General Zhou, you don't know yet?" Xia Shuo asked in surprise, "The treacherous minister Zhang Er sent his son to command [-] reinforcements, and they can reach Jingxing within today at the latest."

"Within today? So soon?!"

Uncle Zhou almost didn't let out a scream. He finally understood why Xia said he surrendered so quickly. Zhou Shu who came was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, we can't waste time, we must immediately find a way to arrange the surrendered soldiers, otherwise, the reinforcements of Zhao's bandit army will suddenly arrive, and the soldiers of Zhao who just surrendered may have problems. !"

Uncle Zhou frowned, he really couldn't think of any good way to quickly resettle the Zhao soldiers who had just surrendered - can't they all be killed?Xia said that he also understood Uncle Zhou's difficulties, and hurriedly said: "General Zhou, don't worry, the general has considered this issue before, if you trust the general, please let the general continue to lead the soldiers and lead them to retreat. Go out of the Jingxing battlefield and go to Jinyang to receive your army reorganization."

Uncle Zhou still didn't feel at ease, knowing that Xia Shuo's surrender was too sudden, there must be countless people in Zhao's army who would not sincerely obey, and once there was no monitoring and control by the soldiers of the Han army, Xia Shuo would probably be killed and rebelled again. The surrendered pawn suddenly stabbed the Han army in the back, which would definitely make the Han army soldiers drink a pot!
"It can only be dismissed on the spot!" Having no choice, Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth, and could only immediately say to Xia: "Xia Guoxiang, you continue to lead the Zhao army that has just surrendered, and I give you three hours. Complete the screening and reorganization, and clearly tell those soldiers to choose whether to stay or not, and those who are willing to stay will be collected and handed over to someone you trust to lead, and those who are not willing to stay, all will be given food and dismissed on the spot!"

Xia Shuo opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said cautiously: "General Zhou, are you kidding me? The last general surrendered so suddenly, there must be countless people in the army who are not convinced, and you let them choose whether to stay or not, most of them must be They will all go, and Zhang Ao's bandit army will come again soon, and when they join Zhang Ao's bandit army on the spot, won't they immediately become our enemies again?"

"It's better than letting them fight back." Uncle Zhou replied very directly, and then ordered: "Go and do it, it's for your own good, let you take them back to the rear, there is no way to guarantee your safety .”

Xia Shuo, who had just done the business of betraying the owner and begging for honor and immorality, thought about it, so he didn't dare to delay. He clasped his fists and sang promises, and rushed back to the soldiers of Zhao who were still assembled in the camp, and organized his cronies to screen them out. Then, as Xia Shuo expected, when he learned that the Han army gave him the freedom to choose whether to stay or dismiss, most of the Zhao soldiers immediately chose to receive food and leave Jingxing. Surprisingly, close to tens of thousands chose to be dismissed on the spot, and only about 4000 chose to stay and continue to follow Xia Shuo.

Even if you choose to stay, it may not be reliable, because the news that Zhao Guo's reinforcements will arrive within today has already spread among the Zhao army in Jingxing, and many real diehards discussed quietly underneath, saying: "Pretend to stay." Come on, wait for our reinforcements to arrive, and then suddenly stab the traitor from behind!"

Of course, the Han army was not blindly beaten passively. During the period when the soldiers of the Zhao army were dismissed on the spot, some grassroots generals of the Han army stepped forward and entered the crowd of Zhao army soldiers who were queuing up to receive food. The man stuffed a piece of gold, and encouraged him loudly: "On the way back, if the bandits of Zhao State want you to return to the team again, and you dare not refuse to listen, you can go back without worry, we won't mind, and then as long as you have a chance, you can come back again." Surrender, and we will reward you when the time comes."

"If you go back to the army of Zhao Guo's bandit army and encounter us sending troops to attack the camp of Zhao Guo's bandit army at night, you can set fire to the camp of Zhao Guo's bandit army to meet us. At that time, as long as you set fire to it, each of us will reward you ten gold !"

"In addition to setting fire, you can also help us kill the enemy. If you get the head, the reward will be doubled! If you kill the general of Zhao's bandit army, remember to bring their waist cards and reward them. Hundreds of leaders will reward you with a hundred gold!" The elder rewards a thousand pieces of gold!"

"The opportunity to make a fortune, don't miss it!"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. When the rewards were distributed wantonly, the generals of the Han army did not distribute the rewards according to the head, but randomly rewarded them according to their mood. As a result, Zhao Jun who picked up the rewards in vain was of course very happy. Zhao Jun who did not receive the reward was full of anger, and many people secretly remembered the name or appearance of the companion who received the reward...
