"I talked to Ren Jun and persuaded him to surrender. When I looked at this man, I felt strong in my heart. The reason why he didn't come with me was because his family was still in the capital.
The second reason is that he doesn't want to betray Mingxuan. Mingxuan is still alive and he doesn't want to do anything that would disgrace his lord.
But he also said that if he took refuge in me, he would not do anything sorry for me.
The Lord can bear me, but I cannot bear the Lord.
These are Ren Jun’s original words.
And when we can recruit him, we must have already entered the capital and killed Mingxuan. By then, Mingxuan will be gone. If he wants to rebel, who will he be loyal to? "
Zhou An nodded and said,
"Yes, that's what Ren Jun said at the time. I think Ren Jun will definitely surrender and submit to us. None of you saw it. In the end, Ren Jun almost cried and begged the lord to kill less Korean troops."
Ouyang Ming nodded and smiled,
"Since the Lord and Zhou An have said so, it must be right. Ren Jun is indeed available."
The generals also nodded.
For such an outstanding person, it is definitely better to be a comrade than an enemy.
At this moment, a messenger ran in quickly and said,
"Reporting to the Marquis, Kaicheng, the capital of Wang'an County, has surrendered. Their leader, Zhang Feng, tied himself up and knelt outside the camp."
"Surrender? That's good. Zhang Feng knows the current situation. Let him come in."
Nie Chen said.
Han Sui, who had never found a chance to speak, hurriedly said,
"My lord, Zhang Feng is a general. He is Ren Jun's number one confidant and the most valued person in Ren Jun. If he can be made to surrender, the Wind Blade Army will definitely return. Although Zhang Feng's role is not as good as He was in the army, but the soldiers still admired him."
Nie Chen said in surprise,
"Oh? So powerful? Then I have to treat you well."
Ouyang Ming also laughed,
"This Zhang Feng has come at the right time. Not only can we take Wang'an County without any bloodshed, but he can also help win over the morale of the army. It's wonderful.
My lord is really a man who obeys fate and has God's help in everything. "
"I don't know if God will help me, but with everyone helping me, there is no need to worry about this."
Soon, Zhang Feng was brought in.
Zhang Feng had been thinking about surrendering for a long time, from last night to now.
He watched with his own eyes as a fire ignited in the Feng Army camp. He also saw with his own eyes that Pang Shou broke out and was killed, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered.
At that time, he knew that the situation was over.
In order for Nie Chen to treat the soldiers well, and for the sake of the more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers left in Wang'an County, he thought about it and chose to surrender.
If Nie Chen wants to kill him, then go ahead and be nice to the soldiers.
If Nie Chen doesn't kill him, he will follow Nie Chen into the capital, rescue Ren Shuai, and invite Ren Shuai to come out.
Anyway, he now hates Mingxuan and Pang Shou. Pang Shou is dead, so he can only transfer his hatred to Mingxuan.
Although Zhang Feng had been demoted to squad leader by Pang Shou, his prestige in the army could not be matched by Pang Shou. After Pang Shou's death, he proclaimed himself a general and summoned all the soldiers in the city. After discussing with them, everyone decided to surrender.
So, Zhang Feng had someone tie him up and walked to the gate of Nie Chen's camp alone.
"Zhang Feng, the guilty general, pays homage to Lord Nie!"
As soon as Zhang Feng entered the commander's tent, he knelt down with a plop.
"General Zhang, get up quickly and untie General Zhang."
Nie Chen asked Zhou Long to cut Zhang Feng's rope.
Zhang Feng hadn't said anything yet, but he was a little confused when he saw Nie Chen's attitude.
What does this mean?
Zhou Long cut the rope, Zhou Hu brought a chair, and asked Zhang Feng to sit in the middle of the handsome tent.
"General Zhang, you are fine."
Han Sui stepped forward and hugged Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng stood up quickly, hugged his hands and said,
"Mr. Han."
"General Zhang understands righteousness, I admire him. General Zhang's move will undoubtedly save many soldiers in Wang'an County from sacrifice and save the people from the suffering of military disasters."
"No, General... I just don't want to kill more people. After all, enough people have died in this war.
The last general surrendered himself to the city. He was only willing to use the last general's head and Wang'an County in exchange for the lives of the soldiers in the city. Please treat the captives kindly. "
"Prisoners? We don't have any prisoners here."
Nie Chen raised his head and said.
"No prisoners? But, but I saw with my own eyes that hundreds of thousands of Korean troops surrendered."
Zhang Feng suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, widened his eyes and said,
"Did you kill them all?"
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said,
"What are you talking about? How could I kill the Feng people? They are now my army group of Gale. I formed an independent army from them and named it Fengren Army, which means the sharp blade of Gale. Let them be the leader of Gale Kingdom. , sweep away rebellion, and attack the enemy."
Zhang Feng suddenly realized it and said quickly,
"The guilty general has misunderstood the Marquis. Ren Shuai once told the general that the Marquis has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Now it seems that the Marquis is indeed worthy of his reputation. The final judge will judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"It's okay, sit down and talk."
Nie Chen asked Zhang Feng to sit down and asked doubtfully,
"Since General Zhang is the general of the main force, why didn't he join the battle this time and instead stayed in the city?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Zhang Feng became extremely angry and told the whole story. Finally, he said angrily,
"I kindly advised Pang Shou, but he didn't listen. He even beat me and demoted me to a squad leader. He deserved to die in battle. If Ren Shuai were here, how could he make such a mistake."
"General Zhang is really wronged, but it's a good thing you didn't follow me out this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in the battlefield. How could I have gotten a good general like you?"
"Master Hou, are you willing to use me?"
Zhang Feng said in surprise.
He originally thought that Nie Chen would only surrender troops but not generals.
Nie Chen did not answer him, but asked instead,
"How does General Zhang rate Ren Jun?"
Hearing this, Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding what Nie Chen meant, but he still told the truth,
"Master Marquis, Commander Ren is resourceful and resourceful. He knows that soldiers are unpredictable and can always adapt to changes. He is good at attacking and defending. He also loves his soldiers like his own son. The soldiers love him very much."
"Including you?"
Nie Chen asked next.
After all, Ren Jun is still with Han, and Zhang Feng is a reduced general. If he said he loved Ren Jun, Nie Chen might say that he still missed his old master and would behead him.
But he really couldn't do it if Zhang Feng was asked to speak ill of Ren Jun.
Simply, Zhang Feng changed his mind and chose to tell the truth. No matter whether it was life or death, he had a clear conscience.
"yes."
"Then are you willing to continue to follow Ren Jun?"
"I am willing, but... I may not have this chance. If Ren Shuai continues to become an enemy of Dafeng, I will have no choice but to meet Ren Shuai in battle."
