The benefits brought by Huang Zuo's surrender are really many and very important.
He was not a strong general who was good at fighting, but he made up for Yue Fei's omissions in water battles, and brought a steady stream of benefits.
Yue Fei dared to make such bold words not only because of the confidence Huang Zuo's surrender brought to him, but also because of the many courtiers who had already begun to exert their strength.
"Huang Zong, a senior official of the Song Dynasty, paid a visit to General Yang Qin!"
In another water village in Dongting Lake, in front of Yang Qin, the military commander and the first fierce general under the command of the Great Sage Heavenly King Yang Yao, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, a small servant, came to persuade him to surrender.
The moment Yang Qin saw Huang Zong, he felt a little embarrassed and angry.
"Now, you actually look down on me, Yang Qin, so much!
A small businessman actually dared to appear in front of a certain family, and even wanted to persuade a certain family to surrender. Who gave you the courage, who dared you to be so arrogant! "
Huang Zong looked at Yang Qin who was already a little angry. He didn't panic at all. Instead, he showed a bit of a smile.
"I wonder what a certain family just said was wrong. It actually made General Yang Qin think that a certain family came to persuade the general to surrender?"
"You!" Yang Qin just realized that he was a little anxious when he denounced him angrily, but he did not become angry. Instead, he snorted directly at Huang Zong, "You have been wandering around recently, trying to persuade you to surrender. Do you really think that someone’s eyes are blind?”
"Of course General Yang is not blind, he can even be said to have a pair of discerning eyes. He has long seen that Yang Yao is not a useful person, nor can he be considered a kind person.
Since General Yang Qin has such an idea, why not abandon the dark side and join the bright side, serve the officials, and follow us to regain the country! "
What Huang Zong said was so exciting that he even discovered that Yang Qin had the same idea. He also wanted to surrender, otherwise he would not be angry because his official position was not high enough.
But after he finished speaking, Yang Qin still had a sneer on his face.
"A certain family is afraid that they will become the next Song Jiang, so they might as well invite you!"
Yang Qin ignored Huang Zong's words of surrender. Although he did not tie him up and give it to the Great Sage Heavenly King, he also invited him out directly without courtesy.
Huang Zong came with full confidence, but with such a result, he naturally couldn't accept it. Before he was completely kicked out, he kept shouting to make Yang Qin consider it.
Then Yang Qin blocked his mouth with a piece of rag.
"The certain family doesn't want to kill you because they want to leave a way out for themselves. If you are really so ungrateful, then just ignore the certain family and kill you directly, Shen Jiang.
Even if that day comes in the future, I think the strength of a certain family will not be comparable to that of a small practitioner! "
After hearing these words, the fledgling Huang Zong couldn't help but change his face, and then he was thrown out and sent back on a small boat.
Walking on the river, Huang Zong quickly calmed down his mood. He knew that he would face endless ridicule when he returned like this.
But it doesn't matter. Now that he has met Yang Qin, he has lost the rest of the things in his heart. How can he just choose to give up.
When he returned to the camp, he was greeted by Yishui's ridicule and many officials who said he was overestimating his capabilities. Of course, some people came to persuade him.
"Since Yang Qin is Yang Yao's military commander, it means that he is Yang Yao's close confidant. It is difficult for such a person to be influenced by words.
Although Brother Huang failed, he also proved his courage, so he might as well take this opportunity to change his goal.
Then Yang Yao went against the grain, and a large number of soldiers and generals under his command were already dissatisfied. It would be easy to change the target..."
After seeing his friend's persuasion, Huang Zong did not appreciate it and just replied with a chuckle.
"We'll see!"
Seeing Huang Zong's unyielding expression, those friends who were on the gold list with him finally chose to give up.
Huang Zong is a Jinshi named on the gold list, that is a Jinshi!
The common people of the Song Dynasty were no longer the kind of people who couldn't read. Although the proportion of these people was still small, they still numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
Among the hundreds of thousands of scholars, the top three hundred who passed the exam would not have been able to pass the exam if they didn't have stubbornness.
Finally, after watching Huang Zong leave, everyone could only wish this friend in their hearts.
And Huang Zong was not so empty of ideas and courage. He chose to go to see Yue Fei and wanted to formally join the army.
"You are a serious scholar, and you will definitely be a good minister and famous scholar in the court in the future. Why bother to join the army and endure hardships?"
Although Huang Zong failed, Yue Fei still had a good impression of this young man. After all, the young Jinshi was more powerful than the Jinshi.
Such a young man with perseverance, perseverance, courage and vision should have a better way out, in the court and in his official career.
Not in his army.
But Huang Zong had no intention of backing down from this behavior. On the contrary, he became more determined.
"Today is a time of great strife. There is no military anywhere that is more suitable for a certain family, and a certain family will not come to the Yue family's army just because of their status as Jinshi.
I also hope that the general will give a certain family another chance to surrender Yang Qin as a sign of surrender! "
After Yue Fei heard this sentence, he immediately liked this Jinshi even more.
Although Yue Fei is still young today, he is no longer the righteous hero born in Xiangzhou.
In addition to the envoys of the Qingyuan Army and the envoys of Jing, Xiang and Tanzhou in Jinghu North Road, he was the one who established the festival. What is the establishment of a festival?
Hold the Talisman Festival!
These four sentences and sixteen words can perfectly describe the officialdom of the frontier, the imperial authority, the beheading first, the report later, the general.
And Yue Fei is the youngest founder of the festival. This is the favor given to him by the emperor, which he earned bit by bit with his own ability.
And everyone knows that this is not Yue Fei's end, this is just Yue Fei's starting point. In this process, he only needs to pacify Yang Yao, regain the six counties of Han and Xiang, and stabilize the Central Plains.
Then I don’t dare to talk about the county king, the county prince will definitely not be able to escape.
With this kind of power and status, he could despise the vast majority of officials in the Song Dynasty court.
He can also express his love for Huang Zong, who was born as a Jinshi scholar, very naturally.
"You have such courage, there is no need to fight with that Yang Qin, the general will have his own way to deal with Yang Qin."
"The general's use is nothing more than kindness and power. We have met Yang Qin's family once. He has the intention to surrender, but he is afraid that we will kill the donkey. At the same time, he also has illusions about Yang Yao in Dongting Lake.
People like this are waiting and watching now. If the general believes in a certain family, he only needs to lend two people to a certain family, and a certain family will definitely be able to persuade Yang Qin to raise his stronghold to serve us in the Song Dynasty! "
Hearing these heroic words coming from a man who had just failed, Yue Fei did not feel any pity. On the contrary, he laughed and agreed to the matter without even thinking about it.
"Since you are prepared, then this matter is settled!
Whoever you want, just ask, and I will assign him to your command! "
Hearing how domineering Yue Fei was, Huang Zong immediately raised his head and chest, bowed to accept the order, and then said loudly.
"Please also ask the two generals Huang Zuo and Dong Xian to cooperate with a certain family. The certain family is sure to succeed in the battle!"
Yue Fei admitted the matter without saying anything more, and then let Huang Zong do what he wanted.
After Huang Zong set off with Huang Zuo and others, Yue Fei was not idle either. He continued to put pressure on Dongting Lake.
First, they sent Yang Hua to surrender, entered the stronghold to infiltrate Yang Yao's subordinates, and lured the rebels to surrender. At the same time, they set up battleships in the stronghold, making it look like a large army was attacking and wanted to fight Yang Yao to the death.
This made Yang Yao even more concerned about one thing and not the other. At this time, he continued to struggle. More than once, Yang Yao wanted to let the army return and abandon the outer defense line, but he found that he could no longer mobilize too many soldiers and generals.
In other words, although many people are still very respectful to Yang Yao, they choose to wait and see while being respectful. They do not choose to live and die with Yang Yao like before.
They chose to be alone, which made Yang Yao, who wanted to gather an army and fight Yue Fei to the death, at a loss.
The military tactics and strategies that he was proud of were useless at this time. He only had one person, but there were a total of seventy-two water forts under his command.
How could he alone take all the soldiers and horses of these water villages into his own pocket and turn them into his true subordinates.
If it hadn't been for Yue Fei, if it hadn't been for Zhao Huan, maybe given a few years he would have been able to completely surrender these people.
But now they are stuck at such a good time, they have just stabilized their footing, they have just started to enjoy themselves, they have just lost the morale of the people and the army, and they have just indulged them a little for the sake of the future.
Then, as soon as the war began, Yang Yao's ability suddenly came to nothing.
At this time, Huang Zong and Huang Zuo went to Yang Qin's camp again to persuade Yang Qin to surrender, but Yang Qin also had his own difficulties and refused to surrender.
He was easy to discuss, considerate and entertained, but he refused to nod. He even apologized to Huang Zong personally, saying that he had been reckless before. He was also very polite to Huang Zuo and told him about their past friendship.
Seeing this scene, Huang Zong knew what this guy was thinking. If he was not allowed to surrender completely, then it would be a lot of trouble to defeat Dongting Lake.
So Huang Zong took a risk, and he and Huang Zuo stayed in Yang Qin's water stronghold, and then asked his trusted guards to return to Dong Xian's army and tell Dong Xian to take action directly!
Before that, Huang Zong ordered Dong Bai, the commander of the White Army, to display a rocket crossbow to intimidate the tough-minded Yang Qin.
Upon seeing this, Yang Qin immediately captured Huang Zong and Huang Zuo, but facing this situation, Huang Zong just laughed and asked Yang Qin.
"Now your wife, children, and all the family members are in this water stronghold. If it is attacked by force, can you guarantee that this stronghold can hold on to the end?
If you trade my life for your Yang Qin family, this transaction can be considered a profit! "
Looking at Huang Zong's unafraid of death, looking at Dong Bai's attack outside, and thinking about his wife and children, now facing Huang Zong's persecution, he knew that this guy was right.
I was worried that my family would not dare to fight to the death.
Although Yang Qin is a strong general, he is not a brainless person. Seeing this situation, he was helpless. After all, his wife, children, and children were all in the water stronghold. If they were defeated, he might not be able to save his life and would also harm his family. In desperation, Yang Qin had to surrender.
However, Yue Fei did not despise Yang Qin because of his urgent surrender. Instead, he gave him a very high evaluation and even took him to find Zhao Huan himself. He was about to leave Yang Qin's past. the will of.
As well as giving Yang Qin the official position of commander of the navy to ensure his safety.
Not only that, Yue Fei also gave Yang Qin the gold belt and jersey that Zhao Huan had given him before to express his joy and recognition.
Under such circumstances, Yang Qin was not an ignorant person, so he immediately reciprocated his kindness and died for him!
Not only did he bring more than 10,000 men and horses in his water stronghold to surrender to Yue Fei, but he also directly formed an elite navy army of more than 3,000 people for Yue Fei.
At the same time, he successively persuaded Quan Zong, Liu Heng and other water village leaders, and Yue Fei's prestige rose for a while.
Not only that, he also has his own unique insights when facing his last enemy, Yang Yao.
"It's not difficult to capture Yang Yao alive!"
One day, two people appeared in front of Yue Fei and said this sentence at the same time.
One of them is Yang Qin, the fierce general and Ma Taiwei who was under Yang Yao's command.
The second one was Xue Bi, a native of Yongjia, Wenzhou, who was accompanying the central court officials, a new scholar, a professor in Hangzhou, and the supervisor of Zuozangdongtaku!
