Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Shi, Li Jin and other generals were defeated one after another. If it weren't for the 20,000 Flying Bear Army who resisted with all their might, it would have been impossible for them to retreat to the imperial city. Now Li Jue and Guo Si had only 20,000 in their hands.
The Flying Bear Army only had more than 20,000 Guo Si's old troops and more than 5,000 Dong Zhuo's stragglers. The rest of the newly recruited soldiers either surrendered or died in battle, and most of them fled.
Everyone is very anxious. The situation they see is extremely critical. Now there is no other way but to fight to the end. Because the fight has reached this point, it is impossible to surrender. Everyone present knows this.
.
Hu Feng actually surrendered without killing him, which made Li Jue very angry. If his nephew had not surrendered, they could have led their army through the south gate, left Chang'an City safely, and headed for Liangzhou, where they established their own
However, it is too late to say anything now, Hu Feng has surrendered.
"Damn! This abominable Hu Feng, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, doesn't even resist. Is this trapping me to death!?" Li Jue cursed loudly.
Guo Bang even slapped the long book case and cursed: "And that damn Li Ru! He is simply a useless and ungrateful person. If it weren't for our two brothers, he would not know how many times Wang Yun's car was broken.
Now, we have turned against Chang'an City and helped outsiders attack us. It is really abominable!"
"Father, I have a saying, Marshal Zuo Aoran is a generous man. When he pacified the Western Qiang, even Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others who rebelled were willing to surrender, let alone my father. Father, you
Don't forget, you still have 20,000 Flying Bear Army as a bargaining chip in your hand. If you don't make a decision early, once the 20,000 Flying Bear Army is used up, father, you will have no bargaining chip, and your life will be at risk.
Come on!" Li Shi suddenly made his remarks.
Li Jin also echoed: "Uncle! Brother Li Shi is right. Now we still have an army of fifty thousand. If Zuo Aoran wants to eat us, he will have to pay the price. At least he will have to pay five
The Wan Dajun wants to consume us. Zuo Aoran is an extremely shrewd person. He cannot fail to see this. If we surrender voluntarily, we will definitely be able to save our lives, and we can also hold a half-office position and kill the generals. This
Zuo Aoran would never have been stupid enough to do it before this happened!"
After listening to what his son and nephew said, Li Jue lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His heart was slightly moved, and finally he turned his attention to Guo Si. After all, the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope now. They can't run away from you or jump.
Me!
"This is not a solution. After all, we still have 50,000 troops in our hands! This bargaining chip is not light! No one can underestimate this power, not to mention, Brother Li has 20,000 flying bears under his command.
Army! I don’t believe Zuo Aoran hasn’t heard of the name Flying Bear Army!” Guo Bang said.
Everyone had a clear position, but Li Jue did not decide immediately. Instead, he paced back and forth in the hall, seemingly unable to make the final decision. Li Shi saw that his father Li Jue was still hesitant, so he
He took another step forward and said: "Did father forget the four generals Wang Chang, Wang Fang, Li Meng and Zhang Zi outside Hulao Pass? They surrendered when they had 80,000 troops in their hands. That Wang Fang surrendered
Even Zuo Aoran, the general who was killed by me not long ago, is willing to keep him, let alone my father, Uncle Guo, and our two brothers!"
Li Jue took a deep breath, slapped the dragon book table hard, and seemed to have aged a lot. He said with difficulty: "Kill your brother! Kill your brother! Kill your nephew! This hatred is irreconcilable! But I, Li Jue, cannot avenge you.
!" After half a cup of tea, no one present said anything. When the battle list came in one after another, saying that Fan Shuai died in battle, and Fan Shishuai disappeared, Li Jue suddenly said: "Pass my general's order!
Give up all resistance, let all the soldiers shout loudly, and tell Li Jue and Guo Si to surrender!"
"Father! Your choice is right. This is the wisest decision in your life!" Li Shi let out a long breath and said, "Li Jin! If you don't hurry up and pass the order, you will have to play for a quarter of an hour."
How many casualties!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Li Jin responded and ran out to deliver the order.
Li Jin went down to deliver the order, and soon all the orders were conveyed. All the Liangzhou troops gave up resistance, discarded their weapons, and began to rescue their wounded and carry the bodies of their dead soldiers.
"What? Li Jue and Guo Si gave up resistance and announced their surrender?!" News of the surrender reached Zuo Aoran, who looked at the soldiers who came to deliver the message with disbelief.
The soldier once again replied firmly: "Yes, my lord, Li Jue and Guo Si have announced their surrender. Now our frontline troops are dividing the enemy's surrendered soldiers, reorganizing them, and temporarily taking them into custody."
"My lord, the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si have surrendered. We should go see these two people and see why they surrendered!" Marquis Li Wen said from the side.
Chen Yu raised his mount slightly, came to Zuo Aoran's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, an old loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, held the emperor hostage and ordered the princes to kill civil and military officials indiscriminately.
Officials must not be left behind to make life difficult for the people inside and outside Chang'an City! Keeping them here will harm the lord's reputation, but removing them will bring about a hundred benefits and no harm to the lord!"
At this time, Li Ru had already arrived at Zuo Aoran's location. Even if Chen Yu's voice was low, Li Ru could still hear it, but even if he didn't hear it, he would not persuade Zuo Aoran to kill him.
Li Jue and Guo Si, because Li Ru knew that once Li Jue and Guo Si died, the more than 50,000 Liangzhou troops would definitely mutiny, 50,000 people! This is enough for Zuo Aoran to drink a pot!
Li Ru didn't say anything. He just wanted to see how Zuo Aoran chose and what kind of character he was as a lord, whether he only wanted fame, immediate benefits, or something else...
Zuo Aoran saw that Li Ru was silent and thought to himself: "Li Ru, Li Ru! If you don't take the initiative to speak, won't I ask you?" With a slight smile, Zuo Aoran looked at Li Ru and said: "Mr. Wen first,
I have often heard that you have a lot of ideas, so today I, Zuo Aoran, asked for advice on one."
Li Ru didn't even ask Zuo Aoran to ask him back. However, who was Li Ru? Could he be confused by just one question? If he was asked, then he would not be the one who responded well and had no clues.
Li Ru and Li Wenyou are awesome!
Li Ru didn't ride a horse, he was on foot, so he bowed slightly and said: "Don't take it even if you don't have enough advice. I have a little wisdom and a good plan. I can see more clearly and see farther!"
"Oh?" Zuo Aoran smiled slightly and said, "Then we will just stay here and listen to the teacher's teachings."
