The situation changes so fast that everyone feels like they are in a dream
In the wilderness outside the city, thousands of elite soldiers have prostrated themselves on the ground. It looks like a large black rock. Only Yunzheng, holding a purple and gold square halberd, stands alone on horseback among the crowd, looking at the north in trance, with eyes in his eyes.
shine a firm light
No one knows that at this moment, they are not thinking about how to fight at all, but thinking about whether Xiao Zhiqiong will be happy or worried if such news and battle conditions reach her ears.
On top of the city, Xiao Guoyi pressed his saber in his hand, thinking that although this group of white-clothed cavalry were not of the right type to attack the city, the halberd-wielding general was so brave and invincible that he must be an enemy general, so there must be a large army behind him.
As soon as he came, he was afraid that Yuepan City would be in danger. He couldn't help but think of the words of the King of Beiyuan. His heart moved, and he didn't care whether he had misunderstood the King's words. He gritted his teeth hard and said to himself: "Fight! If the Queen Mother is really
As King Xiao said, even if I surrender at this moment, it would not be considered a breach of integrity!"
He jumped onto the crenellations of the city wall, raised his arms and shouted wildly: "The general died in battle, the reinforcements were routed, we have no chance of winning, I have decided to surrender for the time being, in order to save the lives of all the warriors for Daliao!"
The soldiers in the city were stunned when they heard what he said. His soldiers knelt down and kowtowed to the outside of the city one by one under his intimidating gaze. The others were in shock and doubt, and most of them also knelt down. In just a moment,
, most of the soldiers and civilians defending the city fell to their knees.
Xiao Guoyi got off the city wall, personally led people to open the city gate, and led his troops out to welcome Yunzheng into the city.
When Yun Zheng heard that they surrendered, he actually felt a little hesitant. He must know that there are nearly three thousand surrendering troops outside the city, which is about four times that of the white-clothed guards. There are probably even more in the city, and then the other side's surrendering troops will be enough.
There are more than 10,000 troops, but the surrendered person himself has less than 1,000 people. If they suddenly rebel again, it will be difficult to kill them.
But then I thought about it, the Liao people today are no longer the Liao people who roamed Mobei back then. How could the Liao people still have such faith that they were not afraid of death? Now that they have seen what they are capable of, how can their generals not consider it?
Can I keep my head to eat?
Thinking of this, he really agreed to surrender.
Yun Zheng gathered his troops and headed for the city. Yang Jieshun also quickly called for his cavalry to follow him, while he went to pay homage to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng was walking when he suddenly heard Yang Jieshun coming to visit him. He handed the purple and gold square halberd to Yun Weili beside him. As if he was a different person, he smiled elegantly and said: "General Yang, please rise. Since General Yang is a Han
, it is a wise move to abandon the dark side and turn to the light this time. When I, the young marshal, summon my father, he will definitely receive more rewards, so how about I first aggrieve General Yang and become the commander of the guards?"
Yang Jieshun was originally afraid that Yun Zheng would kill him, otherwise he would probably have to hide from the military power. Now that he heard that not only would he not kill him, but he would also not take the military power away, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly reported his name, thinking that the Wei army had enough guards.
There are 5,600 people. I only have 3,000 cavalry here, which is less than one guard. Marshal Yun is so generous as to give a guard a commander. With such courage, he is indeed the son of Marshal Yunshan.
At this time, Yunzheng pointed at the fierce general holding a big sword and asked with a smile: "Who is this general?"
Yang Jieshun said hurriedly: "This is my personal soldier captain. His surname is Yue, his given name is Pan, and his courtesy name is Lintai."
Yun Zheng nodded and praised: "Yue Pan? Well, it turns out you are Yue Pan! No wonder you have been fighting with me for so long, you are really famous!" This Yue Pan was a military commander of the Liao Kingdom a few years ago.
He won the first prize, but his father was a slave of Yang Jieshun's family. Therefore, although he won the martial arts examination, he still regarded himself as Yang Jieshun's servant. Later, he was exempted from the slave status and was regarded as a general of the family.
Yue Pan was lowering his head and not daring to look at Yun Zheng. Suddenly when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked in surprise: "Young Marshal, do you know my name?"
Yun Zheng smiled but didn't answer, waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about it first in the city."
------------------------------------- If Yang Jieshun surrendered, it was because he had no choice but to face danger at that time.
Therefore, it is a bit strange that Xiao Guoyi surrendered the city. Even though Xiao Guoyi was as timid as a mouse, but he came from a dignified family, how could he surrender to our northern border? Just like how could the Yun family surrender to the Liao Kingdom?
Yunzheng had doubts in his heart, but his expression was quite kind. Although he still regarded Xiao Guoyi as a surrendered general, he did not imprison him. He only sent some people to guard outside the small courtyard assigned to him. Those Khitans
The Liao army sent those wolf cavalry surrender troops of Han descent to guard them. As for whether these people would get involved together, Yun Zheng really couldn't care less now, so he could only send a few white-clothed guards as temporary supervisors.
At night, after Yun Zheng slept peacefully, Yun Weili secretly went to Yue Pan's accommodation
Looking at Yue Pan's young face, Yun Weili's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Lintai, do you know the current situation of the Liao Kingdom?"
Yue Pan bowed and said: "General Yun, although I am a reckless man, I also know that the Liao Kingdom... I also know that the Liao Kingdom is in a very dangerous situation. The war with the Jurchens has been long-lasting and has suffered repeated defeats. Now
This time I somehow provoked Marshal Yun to send troops to attack. I thought there would be a big battle. Once it was delayed and the Jurchen army took advantage of the situation, the Liao Kingdom would definitely be outnumbered. It might be defeated in one fell swoop and then fall into ruin."
"Then according to you, what should the Liao Kingdom do at this time?"
"Although Marshal Yun is an old enemy, the Yun family seems to have no intention of annexing the Liao Kingdom. However, the Jurchens are different. The Jurchens were originally ruled by the Khitan. Now that they have rebelled, there is no way out and they can only die in one way.
, if they want to survive, they can only defeat the Liao Kingdom, so they are the real enemy of the Liao Kingdom... And I also heard... I heard that Princess Qionghua has a good personal relationship with Marshal Yun. If the Queen Mother is willing to
If Princess Qionghua marries Marshal Yun, she might be able to borrow the elite soldiers from Northern Xinjiang in the hands of Marshal to put down the Jurchen rebellion in one fell swoop."
Yun Weili was amused in his heart, how could the young marshal be willing to lend troops to the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Jurchens? But on his face, he nodded and smiled and said: "Very good, what Lintai said is true. Gongming has a steady temperament and a careful mind, and his future prospects are limitless!"
"
Yue Pan said in panic: "General Yun's words are serious. I can be rewarded by the young commander. Today I was appointed as the commander of the guards. I am overjoyed. How can I dare to think about being promoted again?"
He was telling the truth. He came from a humble background. Even if he won the first prize in the martial arts examination, he would just follow Yang Jieshun as a soldier captain. He often thought that becoming a captain of thousands in the future was already his biggest dream. He never expected that he would reach the top in one step today.
Yun Zheng appointed him as the Commander of the Second Wolf Cavalry Guard, the same rank as Yang Jieshun. Although the Second Wolf Cavalry Guard does not have a single soldier at present, it is purely a false position, but it is enough to honor the ancestors, and I am very happy. Now I hear that
Yun Weili said that he could be a bigger official. He was shocked and couldn't believe what he said.
Yun Wei said heartily: "I have said whether I can be promoted or not, of course it doesn't count. I'm not even at that level myself. But now that the young commander values you, if he doesn't rely on this to win people's hearts, what else can he use to bribe you? Anyway, it's just empty talk about being promoted.
Make a wish, it's none of my business whether the young commander admits it or not, and don't spend a penny on me!"
He smiled and said: "I think Lintai is born with a noble appearance. If I can get the help of noble people, I will surely rise to the top and become famous all over the world!" This statement sounded like a magician, and I don't know where he learned it.
Yue Pan was surprised and happy, and didn't know what to say. Yun Weili said again: "Lintai has outstanding martial arts skills and a careful mind. As a leading general, even General Yang Jieshun is not as good as Lintai. Lintai can take care of himself!"
Yue Pan was blessed in his heart and knew that General Yun Weili was the young commander's confidant. If he could take care of him, it would not be a dream to rise to prominence, so he bowed deeply and respectfully said: "Yue Pan is stupid, please give me some advice!"
Yun Weili smiled and said: "Don't you hear in Lintai that 'good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to work'? Wouldn't it be a pity to miss a worthy master?"
Yue Pan looked up at Yun Weili and said hesitantly: "General Yun means..."
"My young marshal is extremely talented and has superb martial arts. He is also kind-hearted and cares about all the people. He cherishes brave generals like the general. If we don't worship him as our master, where can we find such a good lord in the world? What's more?
How respected is the position of the crown prince of the Yun Kingdom. With the elite soldiers from Northern Xinjiang in hand, if things change in the future, it will not be difficult to control the world. If Lintai is there to help, it will be even more powerful and there will be no rival in the world!" Yun Weili has always been good at eloquence.
It's just that the confidants around Yunzheng are usually capable people, and there is no chance for him to show off. This time, he mustered up his eloquent tongue and tried his best to persuade, hoping to recruit a strong general for the young marshal, so that he can show it to the young marshal.
his ability
Yue Pan lowered his head and pondered, why: "My father is a slave of the Yang family. I have been following General Yang Jieshun for a long time. It is unjust to abandon him."
Yun Weili laughed and said: "Lintai is really smart. I was confused for a moment. General Yang Jieshun is now the commander of the first guard of the Wolf Cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Lintai is now the commander of the second guard of the Northern Xinjiang Army's Wolf Cavalry. They are already the same
If you are a minister in the palace and a general in the same palace, there is no reason to be loyal to a general of the same rank! Besides, both generals are working for the young marshal. If the young marshal can lead his army to defeat Yelu Pingcheng this time, you will have great contributions to the country and great achievements.
In Northern Xinjiang, are you still afraid that General Yang Jieshun will not hold a prominent position? Just for the sake of his future, Lintai should work hard to assist the young marshal."
Hearing this, Yue Pan suddenly came to his senses and said with emotion: "Thank you, General Yun, for your advice. I am willing to listen to the general's words!"
Yun Weili was overjoyed and quickly led Yue Pan to see Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng said he was resting, but he was actually sitting in front of the bedroom door wiping the blood on the purple and gold square halberd. He was slightly startled when he saw Yun Weili leading Yue Pan.
Yue Pan took a few steps forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed: "Yue Pan, Yuelin Tower, pays homage to the lord! I am willing to serve the lord as a dog and horse!"
Yun Zheng was overjoyed when he saw Yun Weili smiling next to him. He had already guessed what was going on. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Yue Pan up with his own hands and said with a smile: "You are considered a great person for being able to stop me on the battlefield for so long.
Hero! Although I defeated you today, my weapons and horses are better than yours. I guess you won’t be convinced, so let’s compete again!” With that, he took the surprised Yue Pan away.
Yun Weili shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "The young marshal has indeed become more and more shrewd. He knows that this kind of person must be convinced in the place where he is most proud, so that he can truly submit to him! Think of Yang Jieshun, who has no ability, but
He is his lord, how can Yue Pan really be willing to be subordinate to others?"
