After hearing Wang Yunhe's words, the generals of the Tang Army felt that Hucheng County had become a battleground for military strategists.

However, due to the emperor's order, even if you understand that this place is very important, what can you do?

At this time, a general under Wang Yunhe said: "General, why don't we let the junior general lead a team and station it in Hucheng County? With the junior general here, he should be able to help the Su family master."

He spoke very tactfully.

The main reason is to avoid Su Yuan's intimidating power in the court. Everyone knows that Su Yuan is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He has dominated hundreds of officials and politicians for many years. He has a high position and is deeply rooted. Not even the Nine Dragons generals dare to refute his words.

This is the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty. After Li Qingcang ascended the throne, the status of civil servants generally increased. After Jiulong retired many old generals and returned to their hometowns, the status of military personnel in the entire Tang Dynasty was completely inferior to that of civil servants.

After Wang Yunhe heard the general's suggestion, he was also thinking about it. After a while, the soldiers only saw him shaking his head and saying: "No, without the emperor's edict, who dares to move troops out of the capital privately?"

The general heard this and said: "Now that the country is in crisis, how can we care about many rules? Since ancient times, military strategists have always had the principle that generals will not accept the orders of foreign kings. General, the Wei army has already seized all the opportunities. If we don't fight for it, what will happen to us?"

Can we still win this battle?"

Wang Yunhe frowned and said: "Your ideological problem is very serious. As a minister, how can you disobey His Majesty the Emperor's orders? I know that, now that the country is facing a national crisis, His Majesty actually attacks the status of military attachés. This move makes you feel sad

It's very uncomfortable. However, we must learn to be patient at the moment, otherwise, even if we work together to overcome the national crisis, we will be settled by His Majesty afterwards."

The biggest problem currently existing in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty is the struggle for power between civilian officials and military generals.

Unless this contradiction is resolved, Datang will never be able to undergo a radical change.

One of the manifestations of the high status of civil servants is that a scholar like Su Cheng, who was born as a Jinshi, could actually serve as a county guard.

This is really unbelievable.

After Su Yuan returned home, he immediately wrote a letter to his children.

When the letter was on its way to Hucheng County, Zhao Changqing's troops were almost in place.

They marched from the steep canyon? It was all a mountain road. They didn't even need horses? They didn't need any baggage? They put it all in Yangtong County. They just led 200,000 people to walk slowly through the steep canyon and slowly approached Hucheng.

county.

Su Cheng probably never dreamed that the Wei army would arrive so quickly.

He has been worried these days, worried that the Wei army will attack one day.

Many of his subordinates were courteous to him, saying that according to the Wei army's offensive route, they would not be able to reach Hucheng County for a while.

This made Su Cheng change from worry to happiness.

At present, the country is in crisis, and he wants to go into battle with a three-foot sword to kill the enemy and fight for the country, but he is powerless!

It would be nice to live well in troubled times.

When he received the letter from his father Su Yuan, he smiled happily.

With his father's words, the big stone in his heart completely fell.

So, taking advantage of these few days, he began to live a dandy life again, holding banquets and getting drunk every day.

While drinking at noon, I suddenly heard shouting and killing outside the city, which shocked the world.

His heart suddenly became extremely nervous for some unknown reason.

Sure enough, soldiers immediately came to report that the Wei army had surrounded Hucheng County.

This news shocked Su Cheng.

Before the news was sent, he was still teasing the girl in his arms.

After hearing the news, he suddenly kicked the delicate girl in his arms aside, came to the soldiers who reported the news, and said in panic: "Are you telling the truth? Wei Jun is coming? How could they come, Yun

Has the mountain pass been lost?"

In front of Hucheng County is Yunshan Pass.

The soldier shook his head and said: "Yunshan Pass has not been lost. I don't know where this Wei army came from. Their fighting power is astonishing. Wei army generals have already climbed onto the city wall one after another. Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front.

Resist with all your might!"

When he heard the sound, for some reason, his body seemed to have lost control. He took two steps back involuntarily, and then he fell to the ground, his eyes showing panic.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? How did the Wei army attack? Impossible! Do you know what the crime of falsely spreading news is?"

The general cupped his fists and said, "Even if I have a hundred courages, I would not dare to deceive the general!"

Su Cheng was helped up by someone. His eyes were dull and he said: "Quick, go to the city. Follow my general to the city!"

Regardless of whether the news was true or not, he felt that he needed to go.

When they arrived at the city head, the shouting and killing had ended, and the Wei army did not capture Hucheng County this time.

Because in this battle, I didn't intend to capture Hucheng County. I just wanted to see the strength of Hucheng County's city defense.

Su Yuan almost fainted when he saw the large scroll with the word "Wei" not far from the city.

He really couldn't figure out where on earth this Wei army came from?

That evening, after much thought, he reluctantly made a decision.

surrender.

Yes, Su Cheng raised the white flag high and surrendered.

Not only that, Su Cheng also opened the city gate and sent envoys to the Wei military camp.

After Zhao Changqing received the news, he felt incredible.

The fight hasn't officially started yet, and the other party has actually surrendered?

This is really unimaginable!

At first, he thought it was a scam. After all, he had a good city and a decent defensive strength. How could he surrender just because he said he had surrendered?

But after seeing many of the defenders in the city walking out of the city, lining up and throwing away their weapons, Zhao Changqing knew that this was true.

The enemy troops really surrendered.

I have been fighting for almost a lifetime, and this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.

Zhao Changqing asked Qi Jiguang to lead 100,000 soldiers into the city. After finding out all the situations, he dared to let the emperor enter the city.

Zhao Changqing and Zhuge Liang slowly entered Hucheng County.

Inside the city, guard Su Cheng and prefect Shi Xing both knelt on the ground.

Zhao Changqing stood upright, came to Su Cheng, and asked: "Are you the guard general of Hucheng County?"

Su Cheng did not dare to get up because he knew that the person in front of him was the Emperor of Wei.

After all, when he entered the city gate just now, Wei State General Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and said "Your Majesty" to him.

After hearing this, he quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is none other than Su Cheng, the guard general of Hucheng County and the son of Su Yuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"He is the son of the prime minister of Tang Dynasty?"

Zhao Changqing smiled.

This matter is really getting more interesting.

"You are good, you can be a wise man, but aren't you afraid that your father's status in the court will be affected after you surrender?"

He was very curious.

The son of a dignified prime minister of a country actually surrendered.

This is something with serious consequences.

If it doesn't work well, there will be a big earthquake in the temples of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Cheng knocked his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. Some worries arose in his heart.

"Father, he...should be fine? After all, he has been an official in the court for many years and is also the prime minister. He also said in the letter that no matter what I do, I must save my life. Isn't this what I mean right now?
