"Father, Master Wang has been blocked outside the city by me. Please quickly follow me to the city to beg for surrender."
Zhong Yu, a man from Jicheng, was a little confused. Looking at the excited Zhong Xi, he thought whether it would be better to hire a doctor or a witch to help his son.
"Do you know what you are talking about? Since you have resisted Chaoge's army, why should you surrender?"
"As long as our army can hold out for three days, Marquis Yuan of Pingbo City will naturally come to relieve our immediate danger."
Zhong Xi had a look of hatred on his face, and he didn't shy away from it. He stepped forward and grabbed his father to go out.
"Father, you are confused! Although my city is strong, you still have to compare with who you are competing with. Now, due to the rounds of battles and sacrifices, my city's strength has been greatly damaged, while Chaoge's army is so powerful that it defeated half of the city in just one year. A North Sea."
"This is still a situation where the so-called venerables and holy beasts are helping each other. Without these, how long do you think Yuan Thief can stop him?"
Seeing his father's unswerving expression, Zhong Xi immediately began to give earnest advice.
"Chaoge's army is strong. If we don't surrender now, we have to wait until the city is destroyed and everyone is dead, and we will follow that Yuan thief into the abyss?"
Zhong Yu sighed: "How did I not know that Yuan Hou was defeated? But your elder brother is still in Pingbo City, and there are 40,000 soldiers of our army. They are the main force of my city. If you rebel against Yuan Hou this time, you What should I do with my brother and the soldiers?”
At this time, Zhong Xi looked a little gloomy and looked arrogant: "Father, which one is more important, my inheritance as the Zhong family, or your 'loyal and honest' eldest son?"
"With the eldest brother gone, aren't there still my third brother and me? You should be glad that the ones coming are not the Chao brothers, nor the arrogant Kong Xuan, but the mighty general Meng Chang, who has always been known for his benevolence, justice and bravery. Father, If you don’t surrender now, are you going to wait until Master Wen arrives in person and then be escorted to Chaoge City to beg for surrender in person?”
In fact, Zhong Xi didn't care at all whether there was Chao Ge's army behind him. What he focused on was whether he wanted this opportunity to clear his name and switch sides.
After that, Zhong Xi didn't wait for his father to react, grabbed the robe on his father's shoulders and walked out the door.
The second young master has always been wild and wild, and everyone was not surprised at first, but the way he dragged his father out at this time was really shocking. Seeing the staggering master being caught by the young master, the soldiers around him were just about to get up. In front of him, Jicheng Nan's third son Zhong Ji stood behind him and stopped the Jicheng guard.
"Let them go. Look, our Zhong Jinan didn't shout or resist? Come on, I'll take you to see a good show!"
A group of people appeared at the city gate, and Meng Chang was extremely surprised when he saw this scene.
Wu Gan clicked his tongue and asked subconsciously: "Are they serious?"
"That should be the case. What a cruel boy! He dragged his own father out like this. Could it be that he wanted to use the hands of our general to kill his father?"
"It makes sense, it's not like no one has done it before."
The soldiers of the king's division were talking a lot, and Meng Chang came forward on horseback. He was not as good as Zhong Jinan in terms of title, but it was war time and he didn't even enter the city, so he was able to accept the surrender of the other side as the victor.
Mengchang thought of some reasons, but he was not sure, so he could only ask first: "The two armies haven't fought yet, why did you surrender first?"
At this moment, Zhong Yu, a man from Jicheng, was still unwilling to be dragged away. He knelt in front of Meng Chang with tears in his eyes, wishing he could humble himself into the dust.
"General Meng, we have been waiting for Yuan Thief for a long time!"
"Since the day of the Yuan thief's rebellion, I, the Zhong family, have failed to protect the territory and the people, which has led to the destruction of all life in my city and the chaos of demons. Zhong Yu is guilty and wishes he could sacrifice his ancestors to pay for his sins."
"But there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, so I have to bear the humiliation and wait for the king to rescue me. I am in dire straits."
"General Meng, I will imitate General Deng Zhizhong of Qingyang Pass, lead the city to surrender, severely defeat the Yuan thieves, and revive our reputation as a loyal and righteous city in Northern Xinjiang."
After Zhong Yu finished speaking, he immediately took out the prepared surrender form from his arms, stated his fault and expressed his loyalty.
Zhong Ji, who lived at the top of the city, laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up. He supported the city guard with one hand and said sarcastically: "Look, we have already prepared the surrender. If you had tried to stop my second brother just now, you would have been killed." Kill them with swords and take their heads to sacrifice to the flag to signify surrender."
The guard general was also frightened: "Master Ji, why is this? Our army is obviously very powerful, why do we want to surrender?"
"You still can't understand? Yuan Futong has exhausted his energy and lost half of the North Sea territory in one year. What kind of goods are the various princes? Even Yuan Futong can't defeat him. Who dares to go head-to-head with the Chaoge elite led by Wen Zhong? "
"Just wait and see, as long as the princes who did not take the initiative to surrender to Yuan Futong that day will come to the city in the future, few fools will be willing to accompany Yuan Futong to die. The city is just the beginning."
As soon as he finished speaking, after seeing Meng Chang dismount and take the watch, Zhong Xi immediately stepped forward and prostrated on the ground in excitement.
"General Meng, I hope that I have heard about the general's reputation for a long time. It is a great honor to meet the general today. I am willing to join the general's sect, lead the horse and hold the stool, and serve the general!"
At this moment, Mengchang also gradually came to his senses. These Beihai princes were really interesting, but he did not resist. This was a good thing.
Is there anything better than conquering an enemy's army without fighting? As for how to train, that is a matter for later.
The original plan was to "encircle Wei and rescue Zhao", create some commotion between Pingbo and Zhucheng, lure Fei to retreat, and then let Kong Xuan and others set up an ambush to quickly deal with the plague after he emerged from the fog of plague. beast.
"I am very happy to get help from Jicheng. How can I let a good man from Jicheng serve as a pawn? I haven't asked this general for his name yet."
"Reporting to General Meng, the young general Zhong Xi is coming to the city!"
Meng Chang helped Zhong Xi up. This person looked not as brave and powerful as Wu Gan, but his caution and stability were comparable to Deng Zhizhong's, and he also had the energy of a young man. He was a talent.
"General Meng, I hope to be the general's envoy and unite the righteous men in various cities to resist the violence of Yuan thieves and demons."
Meng Chang likes to appoint young people very much. Part of the reason is related to his own youth, and part of it is because currently there is only one young man who is really taking the lead in his military formation, Wu Gan, who has a comparative personality. If you are impatient, you can only use your courage, and it is difficult for you to take on big responsibilities.
As for Zou Wu, Mengchang felt he was not sure, so he did not express it for the time being.
This Zhong Xi can see through the disguise of attacking the city. This kind of vision and caution are not possessed by others in his army.
From a distance, we can see that this person's skills in commanding battle formations are well-founded and well-structured, and he also has certain abilities in military strategy.
So Mengchang looked at Zhong Xi happily, held his arm, and said kindly: "Do you have any clever ideas for me?"
"General, perhaps you have underestimated your own influence. Your army gathered together to kill two of Yuan's thieves, slaughtered strange beasts like hogs and dogs, and your feat of defeating twelve cities and one level in a row has spread throughout Beihai. Who knows your benevolence and righteousness?" With bravery and bravery, the general is resting in the city. I hope that it will only take half a month to bring you the armies of all the princes."
Good guy, this guy actually took the initiative to persuade the princes to surrender. Mengchang thought for a while and readily accepted Zhong Xi's suggestion.
It doesn't matter whether he can persuade the major princes to surrender or not. As long as others know that Chaoge's army has crossed Yishui and Yicheng, it will inevitably cause a psychological offensive for Yuan Futong and other princes. As long as he is in the last pure land of Beihai Only if the momentum can be increased, Zhucheng will respond, and the evil beast in Yicheng will show flaws and movements.
"General Zhong, let's go, but I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city. Can you lend your city's cavalry to go out with me?"
Zhong Yu was a little troubled, and with a grimace he forgot to glance at Erzi beside him, as if he wanted to see what this rebellious boy was thinking.
"Does the general want elite armored cavalry, or can he just settle for someone who can ride a horse?"
"Good boy, you understand me! As long as the warrior has a horse, it doesn't matter."
"There are not many armored cavalry in the city, there should be one thousand, but if we only count the war horses, there can be three thousand cavalry. By the way, my father has the Jichenghu Talisman that was transferred to Pingbo. If the general wants to use danger, I will give him three thousand cavalry." My younger brother Zhong Ji can help the general to kill the main general Zhong Li. If Zhong Ji controls Pingbo's army and turns against him again, it will be a big deal... ah!"
Zhong Yu kicked Erzi, and Zhong Xi immediately fell to the ground like a gourd rolling on the ground.
"Shu Zi, that's your eldest brother, Nai Weng is not dead yet!"
"General, don't blame me! General, don't blame me! My eldest son, Zhong Li, always listens to others' advice. He only needs a letter from me to help the general."
Meng Chang exclaimed that he was surprised and looked at Zhong Xi in surprise. He was a ruthless man. He personally dragged his father to surrender. At this moment, he was still thinking about how to seize his eldest brother's power and plot his own eldest brother's life. He came here openly and didn't hide anything from you at all. Generally, if this kind of person doesn't have an abnormal brain circuit, he is really ruthless.
Is the surprise a little too big? He had just started stealing the city, why was the plot dragged into the decisive battle with Yuan Futong alone?
Why is this plot so similar to Liu Xiu?
Taking a deep breath, Mengchang shook off some unbelievable fantasies in his mind. It was nothing more than that he was suspicious, and if he went deep alone, his whole army would be annihilated if he was not careful.
"Let's do it this way. The city must not be defenseless. I would like to ask General Zhong to go and lobby the princes. If there are any followers, you can come to the city to make an alliance. Afterwards, Meng Chang is willing to intercede with the Taishi on behalf of the princes in the Beihai territory. The Taishi has always been here Benevolence, if these princes are only coerced by Yuan Thief, they will definitely not fight against you."
"In addition, if the city man lends me another three thousand cavalry, Mengchang has other uses!"
The words of the Zhong family father and son can be trusted, but not entirely. In the end, Meng Chang would rather choose the lesser of the two. On the one hand, he would summon the princes to make an alliance, and on the other hand, he would complete the unfinished business until Chaoge's army arrived. This group of princes has different intentions, and they will have enough help to deal with it when the time comes.
The father and son of the Zhong family looked at each other. They obviously understood this and did not force it. After Zhong Ji bowed deeply, he provoked Wu Gan in a magical way, and then led a hundred people towards Laicheng. According to his words He said that there are currently more than 30 princes remaining in the Beihai territory. According to his analysis, there are almost nine princes, large and small, who can be convinced. Together with Jicheng, each of them can mobilize an army of 40,000 to 50,000.
If Pingbo City's own alliance's military strength is organized, the total number of troops that can be fought is 150,000. Under the decline of one and the other, 150,000 versus 300,000. The advantage is mine, and I will win!
Seeing that it was getting late, Mengchang did not enter the city to rest. Instead, he led his headquarters and three thousand cavalrymen who were handed over from the city, and swept towards Pingbo City. Only when they reached Pingbo was the real goal achieved.
In the middle of a thousand days, the liver is broken.
