"Although Ma Chao is my old master, he is not a Ming Lord. Only after I met His Majesty did I know what a Ming Lord is. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma. I thought that the former chose filial piety and surrendered to Your Majesty in order to save his own people. Today.
This time I will choose the word loyalty and be loyal to Your Majesty." Suo Xu said expressionlessly.
"Why are you bothering? If you can talk to our emperor in person, you will find that our emperor is even better than your majesty. I can arrange it for you..." Pang Tong saw that Suo Xu refused to surrender.
, worried that the war would break out again, he hurriedly said.
"No need, I have made up my mind, no need to say more. I heard that the Huaxia Kingdom never destroys people's families. After my death, all the Suo clan will be disbanded and returned to their fields, so as not to end up with their families broken up and their clans separated..."
"General, in this case, it is better to go to Hanzhong to avenge His Majesty, and then inform General Xiahou to send troops from Jiameng Pass. I believe that our army's front can definitely inflict a heavy blow on the Chinese army!" Sauron shouted immediately.
Solo also nodded hurriedly and said: "General, if you don't do anything, you won't stop. As long as we occupy Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain, the Chinese Army will not be able to cross here and fight to the death with the Chinese Army."
"Shut up!" Suo Xu said angrily, "Even if we block the Huaxia Army for a while, we can't block the Huaxia Army for a lifetime. If we continue to fight like this, I don't know how many heroic souls will be buried here. Since we can't stop the Huaxia Army
The army invaded Western Shu, it is better to move away
Son, if you let him go, it can be regarded as a good thing for the soldiers and the people. The world is divided into three parts, and China is the strongest. The Wei army is gone and cannot stop the unification war launched by the Huaxia Kingdom. Let me help the Huaxia Kingdom and let this
Let the world have less conquests!”
After hearing this, Pang Tong gave positive affirmation to Suo Xu's behavior. Once Cao Cao died, no one would be able to stop Gao Fei's progress. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, when all the heroes came together, they competed with each other, and Gao Fei made progress step by step.
, all the heroes were trampled under his feet, and the Lianwu strategy he adopted did bring him great convenience, at least it allowed the Chinese army to wholeheartedly destroy opponents one after another.
"General, why are you so confused? In my opinion, it is better to capture Pang Tong first, and then use Pang Tong's head to sacrifice the flag. When General Xiahou arrives from Jiameng Pass, he will immediately launch a general attack on the Chinese army. With the Chinese army
Judging from the current posture, the Chinese army is at the end of its war effort," Sauron said.
"Presumptuous!" Suo Xu glared at Sauron and said loudly, "Take off your armor, throw down your weapons, no matter what method you use, go back to your hometown in Dunhuang!"
Sauron was also furious. He immediately glanced at Pang Tong, pulled out the steel sword from his waist, and was about to stab Pang Tong.
"Zheng!"
Zoro also pulled out the sword from his waist and blocked Zoro directly, shouting: "Calm down!"
"Get back, everyone!" Suo Xu said angrily.
Zoro and Zoro stepped back and sheathed their swords.
"Go and call all the people in the army, including commanders and above, here!" Suo Xu said.
Suolong and Suoluo retreated angrily, while Suo Xu asked Pang Tong to sit down.
Pang Tong already knew that Suo Xu would not resist and had no ill intentions toward him. He immediately sat there and quietly waited for Suo Xu's next move.
Not long after, everyone in the army, from Sima to above, was called to the front of the tent. Suo Xu came out of the tent, looked around at the generals, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has passed away, and the Chinese army is on the way..."
"Your Majesty..." Everyone burst into tears and burst into tears.
Suo Xu also had a look of sadness on his face, and then he pointed at Pang Tong and said: "Everyone, I am going to hand over all these 30,000 troops to Pang Shiyuan. Now that Pang Shiyuan has surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom, His Majesty left a will, saying that no one can rule without the Huaxia Kingdom.
In the world, it is not easy for us to disobey. I am ready to change the flag on the spot, which can save the country and China.
The soldiers of the Xia army meet each other. Most of the officers and soldiers in the army are the people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou. After the army is suspended, if you don't want to stay in the army, you can be sent back to your hometown. I do this for your sake. I have spent half my life in the army.
, killed countless people, now, I want to make a little contribution to unification, let’s take a vote now.”
They had been on the war for a long time and missed their hometown, and the Shu land was not suitable for them to live in. Although they were sad about Cao Cao's death, they were unwilling to struggle in vain for their own sake. Cao Cao was their backbone, and now that Cao Cao was dead, they simply
Xu's meaning was very clear, and no one said anything.
"No one said anything, so I'll take it as your acquiescence." Suo Xu turned around and said to Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, I have entrusted all these 30,000 soldiers to you. I hope you will treat them well."
After saying that, Suo Xu walked into the big tent, lowered the roller blinds, and let no one in.
Pang Tong originally had a high prestige in the army. As a divine strategist, no one refuted it. Although Suolong and Suoluo were unhappy, they did not dare to make mistakes when facing Suo Xu. They could only follow Suo Xu's choice.
.
"Don't worry, our emperor is wise, mighty, benevolent and righteous. He will definitely not embarrass you. Our emperor will arrive in the evening. It is up to you to decide whether to go or stay." Pang Tong said loudly.
There was resentment on the faces of the soldiers, but no one said anything. They were just making plans in their hearts, whether to stay or leave.
Pang Tong turned around and walked towards the tent. After lifting the curtain, he saw Suo Xu lying in a pool of blood, kneeling on his knees with his head hanging down. The long sword in his hand was stuck on the ground. He was still holding the long sword tightly in his right hand.
But the blood drops on the blade were flowing down bit by bit, and his chest was covered in blood.
"General——" Pang Tong exclaimed when he saw it, and then he knelt down on the ground with a "pop" sound.
After seeing Suo Long, Zoro and others immediately gathered around. When they saw Suo Xu kneeling in a pool of blood, they all knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
For a time, the army couldn't stop crying. In the minds of these people, Suo Xu's prestige was higher than that of Cao Cao, because they were all Suo Xu's old troops.
…………
In the evening, Gao Fei led Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and other 10,000 Chinese troops to the foot of Dingjun Mountain. Seeing Pang Tong leading many Wei soldiers waiting by the roadside, he laughed and said to Zhao Yun and Xu Huang: "Pang Shiyuan.
Sure enough, Suo Xu was persuaded to surrender... Hey, why don't you see Suo Xu?"
When the two armies met, Gao Fei saw Pang Tong's gloomy face and said, "Shi Yuan, what's going on? Where is Suo Xu?"
"General Suo...hey!" Pang Tong sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
Gao Fei's joyful face also returned to calm, and then he noticed that all the soldiers had a sad look on their faces. He turned over and dismounted, and asked: "Shi Yuan, what's going on?"
"General Suo committed suicide. When he died, he entrusted these 30,000 soldiers and horses to me to take care of him." Pang Tong said, "Sorong and Suoluo have already carried Suo Xu's body away, and the two of them have resigned.
I refused to serve as an official and took a small road back to Dunhuang."
"Suo Xu is a hero!" After hearing this, Gao Fei spontaneously felt admiration for Suo Xu. Although he had never been in contact with Suo Xu, he felt Suo Xu's unique temperament.
That night, all the army was stationed at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. In a great battle in Hanzhong, both the Huaxia Army and the Wei Army suffered heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of heroic soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country. Gao Fei was inspired by this and ordered someone to build a monument on Dingjun Mountain.
The Martyrs' Shrine honors the souls of those who died in the war.
At the same time, Gao Fei did not force others to do anything, and informed the entire army that those who were willing to stay would stay, and those who were unwilling to stay would be given travel expenses and customs clearance documents, allowing them to disarm and return to their fields and return to their hometowns in Qinzhou and Liangzhou.
So, early the next morning, 10,000 soldiers out of the 30,000-strong army expressed that they were tired of the war and wanted to disarm and return to their fields. Gao Fei asked Pang Tong to handle the matter, pay them travel expenses, issue customs clearance documents, and let them go back.
After that, Gao Fei reorganized his troops and set out for Jiameng Pass with a total of 30,000 soldiers. He took Xu Huang as the front, Pang Tong continued to serve as the divine machine strategist, leading the middle army himself, and Zhao Yun led the rear army and was responsible for escorting the grain and grass.
Set off in a hurry.
Regarding Hanzhong, Gao Fei appointed Fa Zheng as the prefect of Hanzhong, and Zhang Ren and Gao Sen were in charge of the troops to guard Hanzhong. Yang Huai, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Meng Da followed Gao Fei's army to Jiameng Pass. He also sent scouts and released
News of Cao Cao's death.
In the city of Jiameng Pass, Xiahou Dun was still angry that Cao Cao had demoted him and drank all day long. All the 30,000 troops inside and outside the city were led by the chariot general Huang Quan.
In the early morning of that day, Huang Quan was still mobilizing grain and grass in Guancheng. Suddenly he heard that a group of soldiers and horses were coming down the river from the Western Han River. They had crossed the Western Han River and arrived behind Jiameng Pass. He hurriedly sent people to investigate.
Knowing that it was Ma Chao who led 20,000 troops to attack, he immediately sent someone to summon Xiahou Dun.
"General, Colonel Xiahou is drinking. We dare not disturb him..." Huang Quan's subordinates said.
"What are you afraid of? Even if you carry him, you have to carry him over. Just say that your majesty has an imperial edict for him, and he will come happily." Huang Quan said.
"promise!"
So the soldiers followed Huang Quan's instructions and called Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun, who was in high spirits, heard that there was an imperial edict for him, and he came happily.
Xiahou Dun came to Guancheng full of alcohol. As soon as he saw Huang Quan, he asked loudly: "Where is the holy decree?"
"There is no imperial decree, but I was afraid that the general would not come, so I deliberately falsely conveyed the imperial decree. The situation forced me to ask for your forgiveness, general." Huang Quan said.
"Hmph! How dare you pretend to preach the imperial edict? I'm so impatient with life that you ruined my pleasure in drinking. I..."
"General Xiahou, Ma Chao has led an army of 20,000 to Jiameng Pass and is now rapidly advancing. The troops are reaching Sansanlipu. If we don't make any plans, I'm afraid Ma Chao will come to kill us." Huang Quan said angrily.
"What did you say?" Xiahou Dun heard this and asked suspiciously, "Ma Chao is here? Really?"
"The news I just found out is that Ma Chao led an army of 20,000 people from Wudu down the Western Han River. Originally, there was a small pass there that General Xiahou was asked to garrison. However, the general said it was fine and never went there.
, gave Ma Chao an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Prepare your troops and horses, I will go and fight Ma Chao personally!" Xiahou Dun knew that he was wrong and shouted immediately.
