Zhang Liang knew that this was Wang Can's test, and he also knew that if he didn't take some practical actions, it would be difficult to gain Wang Can's trust because it would be too easy for him to surrender.
That's how it is with people.
It's too easy to get, which makes you doubtful.
Zhang Liang did not refuse, did not hesitate, and submitted directly, which made Wang Can suspicious.
However, this does not trouble Zhang Liang.
With a natural expression on his face, he chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to persuade Xia Houying. There is no need for your Majesty to persuade Xia Houying to surrender. Zhang Liang is willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse."
Wang Can said: "I am waiting for your good news!"
Zhang Liang said: "I'll do my humble job immediately."
Wang Can immediately called for the soldiers and ordered them to lead Zhang Liang to see Xia Houying.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zhang Liang came to Xia Houying's camp and saw Xia Houying. He waved the soldiers to retreat and stayed alone with Xia Houying.
Xia Houying looked natural and relaxed.
He was a warrior and could swim, so falling into the water would have no impact. After being captured by the soldiers, Xia Houying was at the mercy of the Shu army and came to the camp.
Xia Houying shook his robe and said, "Zifang, why are you here?"
Zhang Liang walked to the tent and sat down. He approached the brazier to warm himself and said with a smile, "I'm here on your majesty's order."
"Which Your Majesty?"
Xia Houying's eyes narrowed.
Now, everyone has been arrested.
If Zhang Liang had obeyed Liu Bang's order, it would be impossible for him to move around at will. Because everyone is a prisoner now, it would be impossible for Zhang Liang to convey Liu Bang's order.
The only possibility is Wang Can.
It was Zhang Liang who surrendered to Wang Can.
Xia Houying was not a reckless martial artist, he made guesses easily.
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said: "General Xiahou is indeed very powerful. He can guess it right away. Indeed, I have surrendered to the Shu Kingdom. This time, I came to persuade you on the order of the Emperor of the Shu Kingdom."
Xia Houying said: "Zifang, you surrendered to Shu so quickly. Your betrayal is too fast."
Zhang Liang said: "To betray early is betrayal, but to betray late is not betrayal."
Xia Houying smiled bitterly.
When it comes to talking heads, no matter how many of them there are, they are no match for Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang continued: "General Xiahou, when Wang Can surrendered to me, he had already killed Liu Bang, and even Prime Minister Xiao surrendered to Wang Can. What's the point of insisting on?"
"Your Majesty is dead?"
Xia Houying's eyes widened and he said, "Is the news confirmed?"
Zhang Liang said: "This is what Wang Can said himself. There is no way it is false. What's more, it is Han Xin who is responsible for killing Liu Bang. With Han Xin's nature, it is reasonable for him to kill Liu Bang to avenge him."
"well……"
When Xia Houying heard this, he sighed.
The emperor of a country died like this.
A country was destroyed just like that.
The most important thing is that in order to deal with the threat of the Han Dynasty in the previous life, Liu Bang ordered Xiao He to persuade Han Xin, and asked Lu Pheasant to set up an ambush and kill Han Xin. Now that Han Xin is seeking revenge, Xia Houying can't find a thorn in his side, let alone accuse Han Xin.
So, I can only accept it.
What's more, since Liu Bang is dead, it is meaningless to talk about other things.
Zhang Liang continued: "General Xiahou, it's useless no matter how hard you persist. Surrender. Only when you surrender to Shu can you continue to fight on the battlefield and show your talents. Not for yourself, but also for your wife, children and family."
Think about it."
Xia Houying was silent.
Liu Bang is already dead, so what's the point of persisting?
Xia Houying took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to ask me to surrender. If Ji Bu is transferred to me, it must not be detrimental to Ji Bu."
"no problem!"
Zhang Liang said directly: "I agree to your conditions on behalf of Your Majesty."
Xia Houying said: "I am willing to submit, you can go."
"good!"
Zhang Liang didn't stay any longer, got up and walked out.
Just when Zhang Liang was about to walk out of the tent, Xia Houying suddenly said: "Zifang!"
"What's up?"
Zhang Liang turned around and looked at Xia Houying.
At this moment, the expression on Xia Houying's face became extremely solemn, and he asked: "Could it be that the Han Dynasty really does not exist? We have really all become ministers of the Shu Kingdom."
"yes!"
Zhang Liang nodded and answered.
After a pause, Zhang Liang continued: "The Han Dynasty has become a thing of the past. Xiao He surrendered, Liu Bang died, and the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. What's more, for me, I surrendered to Liu Bang in the past to avenge and destroy the Qin Dynasty.
Revenge for my country, Korea. In this life, Ying Zheng is also resurrected. I still have to take revenge. In the last life, I failed to kill the First Emperor. In this life, I will succeed."
This is Zhang Liang’s obsession.
Xiao He and others had no grudges against Qin.
However, Zhang Liang is different.
Zhang Liang in his previous life was a Korean aristocrat. His grandfather served as the prime minister of three Korean dynasties; his father succeeded him as the prime minister of the second Korean dynasty. It can be said that the family is prominent.
But when the Qin cavalry passed by, Korea turned into powder.
Zhang Liang can no longer prosper the family and continue the family's glory.
Everything was caused by Da Qin.
Therefore, Zhang Liang always wanted to rebel against Qin in his heart. Even when the first emperor Ying Zheng was there, he once ambushed Qin Shihuang, but later Qin Shihuang died of illness, and Zhang Liang surrendered to Liu Bang and helped Liu Bang resist the Qin Dynasty.
In the end, Da Qin was overthrown.
In this life, Ying Zheng is also alive.
Ying Zheng is strong in the north, and his obsession exists in his heart. He wants to destroy the Qin Dynasty, kill Ying Zheng, and then avenge his family.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to serve the dead Liu Bang anymore and to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.
He will only be loyal to Wang Can.
In other words, with the help of Wang Can's power, he defeated Da Qin to take revenge.
Xia Houying swallowed hard and finally sighed and said, "I know."
Four words, but they seem to be of great weight.
Zhang Liang solemnly said: "General Xiahou, if you surrender, you will surrender sincerely. If you are not willing to surrender, I advise you not to do it in disguise. Because Wang Can is not an easy person. Liu Bang is dead, but there are still people around Liu Bang
There are many people here. If Wang Can is angry with these people because of your false surrender, it is not worth it. I have already said what needs to be said, and I hope you will think twice about everything."
"knew!"
Xia Houying nodded and answered.
At this moment, Xia Houying also put aside other thoughts.
He had no more thoughts.
Zhang Liang left the camp with a flick of his sleeve. Not long after, he came to Wang Can's large tent of the Chinese army and reported: "Your Majesty, Xia Houying has surrendered. His only request is to transfer the seasonal cloth to his camp.
Go with me. This is a small matter, and I have approved it on behalf of Your Majesty."
"no problem!"
Wang Can said: "Since Xia Houying wants Ji Bu, give it to him. If I remember correctly, Ji Bu was hunted down by Liu Bang with a reward, and it was Xia Houying who saved him, so he was grateful to Xia Houying and followed Xia Houying all the time.
"
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Can continued: "Now the main ministers of the Han Dynasty have surrendered. The rest, there are some generals in the army and many civil servants, etc., all of whom need to be persuaded to surrender. You have a sharp tongue, I will These things are all left to you to arrange. Can you complete the task?"
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."
For Zhang Liang, these are not problems.
Even though Shu Sun Tong and other civil servants once served Liu Bang, but now Liu Bang is dead, Zhang Liang believes that it is not difficult to persuade these people to surrender.
"Get down!"
Wang Can waved his hand.
"I resign!"
Zhang Liang bowed and bowed, then turned and left.
But Wang Can ordered again: "Come here, bring Su Dingfang in."
Wang Can admired Su Dingfang very much.
In Li Shimin's era, there were countless civil servants and generals under Li Shimin's command, including Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and many other civil servants and generals, which can be said to be a wealth of talents.
Su Dingfang couldn't squeeze in.
So even though Su Dingfang had outstanding talents and strong martial arts, there was still nothing he could do. Historically, it was during the Li Zhi period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty that he was able to show off his talents and become the pillar of the country in the military.
Wang Can wanted to recruit Su Dingfang to surrender.
Cheng Yaojin failed to recruit Li Jing, and he didn't have high hopes of recruiting Su Dingfang.
After all, none of the people Li Shimin brought out turned traitor.
Not long after, Su Dingfang was caught in the camp.
Su Dingfang was wearing a white robe, calm and composed, his hands were tied, he looked up at Wang Can who was sitting on the main seat, and said lightly: "Wang Can, you ordered the soldiers to bring me here, what's the matter? ?”
Wang Can didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I know you are talented, so I hope you can work for me."
"impossible!"
Su Dingfang answered directly without thinking.
Wang Can said: "Why?"
Su Dingfang replied: "My Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is the only emperor throughout the ages and a rare sage. It is Su Dingfang's honor to follow the emperor. I will have no regrets even if I die. I am a prisoner, so I would rather die than drop."
Wang Can said: "Li Jing has surrendered, do you still want to persist?"
"Hahaha……"
When Su Dingfang heard this, he laughed loudly.
Wang Can asked: "Why are you laughing?"
Su Dingfang said: "What makes me laugh is that the dignified emperor of Shu actually plays this trick of deception. You must have met the manager, but it's a pity that you have hit a wall."
"Then, you said that the general manager surrendered to you, and you wanted to deceive me into surrendering."
"This is impossible to succeed."
"I know the General Manager well, and I know more about the General Manager's character. It is impossible for him to betray the Tang Dynasty."
Su Dingfang held his head high, his eyes sharp, and said loudly: "Wang Can, if you dare to bring the manager up and let him say in front of me that he has submitted to Shu. Then I, Su Dingfang, am willing to submit. Of course, I Know this is impossible."
Wang Can also chuckled when he heard this.
What a great Su Dingfang.
He used the same words to defraud Cheng Yaojin. Although he did not deceive Cheng Yaojin, at least Cheng Yaojin became suspicious. However, Su Dingfang's words exposed Wang Can's lies.
Because Wang Can couldn't let Li Jing come to confront him.
Li Jing did not surrender at all.
Wang Can said: "As expected of Su Dingfang, who is so talented and talented, he actually used this method to destroy my words."
Su Dingfang said: "Thank you for the award." (To be continued)
