Outside Wuguan City.
Sima Zhao and Deng Ai, leading more than a thousand knights, stood nervously at the foot of the city. Except for Sima Zhao and Deng Ai, the other more than a thousand knights all had their backs to Wuguan and were always vigilant.
At the top of Wuguan City, Wang Ping thought deeply for a moment and said loudly: "Kaicheng!"
"No!"
The primary school immediately agreed and went to deliver the order to open the city.
As soon as the primary school left, Wang Ping said to Yang Tongshan: "Yang Dianjun, you must remain vigilant. If you find anything wrong, shut down the city immediately."
"Promise!" Yang Tongshan agreed upon hearing this.
Wang Ping is the guard general of Wuguan and General Jianwei of the Han Dynasty. He has surrendered to Sima Zhao this time. He will receive Sima Zhao on behalf of the Han court. Therefore, he cannot stand on the city and wait for Sima Zhao to enter the city. He has to go down to the city to greet him.
p>
This is also to show that the Han Dynasty is a benevolent and righteous country.
Although Sima Zhao and Deng Ai had sent a letter to Wuguan a few days ago, expressing their willingness to lead the people to surrender to the Han, Wang Ping was still a little cautious and took precautions.
After Wang Ping went downstairs, Yang Tongshan stared outside the city closely to prevent any accidents.
Outside the city——
As a creaking sound was heard, the nervous Sima Zhao and Deng Ai immediately relaxed their brows, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
After the successful breakout a month ago, they fled southwest. In order to avoid pursuit, they fled to the mountains and forests. It was not until a few days ago that they came to the mountains and forests outside Wuguan City.
Then they sent a letter to Wuguan, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Han Dynasty. However, Wang Ping did not agree immediately, but wrote back saying that the matter needed to be reported to the court.
After waiting for several days, someone from Wuguan finally sent a reply last night, saying that the Emperor of Han Dynasty agreed, and they can lead the crowd into Wuguan today.
Watching the Wuguan City Gate open, Sima Zhao's nervous mood calmed down at any time, but an indescribable feeling came over him again.
"General!"
Deng Ai said calmly: "Now that the matter has come to this, surrendering to the Han is our only way out. When the Han army attacks Wei in the future, the last general will definitely follow the general and avenge the prime minister."
"Yeah!" Sima Zhao nodded slightly and said yes.
At this time, a group of soldiers came out of Wuguan City. The leader was an old general in his fifties. He carried a big sword, and there were thousands of elite Han troops on both sides.
"General Sima, long time no see!"
After forming the formation, Wang Ping stood his sword in front of him and slightly raised his hand to Sima Zhao.
At this time, Sima Zhao was less than a hundred steps away from Wang Ping. When he heard Wang Ping speak, he just paused slightly, quickly jumped off his horse, threw his weapon to the soldiers behind him, and then walked forward quickly.
When they were still a few steps away from Wang Ping, Sima Zhao immediately cupped his hands and saluted Wang Ping: "Sima Zhao, the dying man, pays homage to General Wang!"
"General Sima is serious, serious!" Seeing Sima Zhao's dejected appearance, Wang Ping hurriedly jumped off his horse, stepped forward quickly, helped Sima Zhao up, and said with a smile: "General Sima, get up quickly, get up quickly!"<
/p>
"Thank you, General Wang!" Sima Zhao first returned the gift, and then said with some frustration: "This time our Sima family has been wronged and has no choice, so we led everyone here to surrender..."
Before Sima Zhao could finish speaking, Wang Ping grabbed Sima Zhao's hand and said, "General Sima, there is no need to say more. What the general said in his previous letter has been conveyed to the court by Wang Ping." He paused and then smiled.
Said: "Your Majesty specially ordered Wang to come out of seclusion to greet General Sima!"
"General Sima, please enter the customs!"
"General Wang, please!"
After some polite exchanges, Wang Ping and Sima Zhao returned to Wuguan in parallel. Deng Ai followed him into Wuguan City with more than a thousand cavalry.
.....
Five days later.
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
Watching two strange middle-aged men from a distance, slowly walking in from outside the hall, Liu Chan suddenly became a little excited, but he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.
After a while, the two entered the main hall.
"Surrender, Sima Zhao!"
"Surrender, Deng Ai!"
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"Two generals!" Liu Chan raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "I have heard the names of you two, and I wish we could not meet each other soon."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Liu Chan continued: "It is the honor of the great man and the blessing of the world that the two generals came to surrender today."
The praise is a bit high, but Liu Chan didn’t lie.
Naturally, they have known Sima Zhao, Deng Ai, and Liu Chan since they were young.
Because they are both famous in history.
Deng Ai was the general of Wei who destroyed Shu in history, and Sima Zhao was the biological father of Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan. Isn't there a proverb about him that has been spread in later generations?
Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them thanked each other in unison. Liu Chan was naturally in a good mood. The famous Sima Zhao and Deng Ai had surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't this make Liu Chan happy?
Also, Sima Yi, who was executed by Cao Fang, probably never dreamed that within two months of his death, his son would become a minister of the Han Dynasty.
Things are so unpredictable...
After the two of them thanked them, Liu Chan paused and then said loudly: "Since the two generals have arrived in Chang'an, I should use them more seriously."
"Seal Sima Zhao as General Polu;"
"Confess Deng Ai as General Guiyi;"
When he was in Cao Wei, Sima Zhao was a great general, but now he has become the general of the Han Dynasty, and he is just a general with a low rank.
But Sima Zhao did not feel aggrieved. After all, he had no place in the Wei Dynasty now, and he was also responsible for killing his father and brother. It was good for the Han Dynasty to take him in.
However, after being awarded the title, Sima Zhao was not happy.
It's not that he was dissatisfied with the reward, but he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Chan on the throne, because after all, this emperor also had a grudge against him.
Revenge for seizing his wife——
Twenty-one years ago, Liu Chan robbed his unmarried daughter-in-law Wang Yuanji. At this time, Wang Yuanji had become Liu Chan's imperial concubine and gave birth to a son and two daughters.
Alas...
Perhaps seeing Sima Zhao's uneasiness, Liu Chan said with a smile: "General Polu!"
Sima Zhao paused and responded hurriedly: "Wei Chen is here!"
"The general surrendered to the Han Dynasty for the first time, so I asked the general to stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time." Liu Chan paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's just that now that the Han Dynasty is marching eastward to conquer Soochow, I want to quickly destroy the Kingdom of Wu.
Then proceed to attack Wei, so as to complete the great cause of the late emperor's unification as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Liu Chan looked at Sima Zhao and said: "Please ask General Sima to go to Lingling to assist the prime minister in attacking Wu. After Wu is destroyed, I will have my own reward!"
"I obey the order!"
Finally he didn't have to stay in Chang'an, although he didn't really want to see Zhuge Liang. After all, more than ten years ago at the Wuguan battlefield, Zhuge Liang shot off an arm of his brother Sima Shi with one arrow. Of course, compared to the hatred of seizing his wife,
This is nothing.
After all, Master Sima was not dead at that time.
It's better than looking at the person who takes your wife every day and having to nod and bow to him.
"General Deng!" Liu Chan looked at Deng Ai again and said, "I heard that the general is familiar with the terrain of Jingxiang..." During Liu Chan's pause, Deng Ai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know a thing or two!"
"Okay!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "Then General Deng will go to Jiangling!"
"I obey the order!" Deng Ai responded.
"General Deng!" Liu Chan continued: "After the general arrives at Jiangling, tell King Qin Liu Tan for me that I will only give you three months, and you must conquer Wuchang in three months!"
"Three months?" Deng Ai was stunned for a moment instinctively!
"Yes!" Liu Chan said with certainty: "It's three months. Soochow must be destroyed within three months, otherwise don't come back to see me."
"No!" Deng Ai didn't dare to refute or put forward his opinion. After all, they had just surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty now sent them to the battlefield. This was a reuse of them, and their temper towards Liu Chan was not the same.
Don't understand.
Three months, just three months!
Anyway, they are not generals, they just assist the King of Qin or the Prime Minister.
