39. Surrender

Dengzhou is a state of despair and the end. The moment you set foot on the land of Dengzhou, you have to give up all hope.

Because you have been declared dead.

-The Memoirs of Guo Mioshan

Celebrating the third year of the calendar, December 9th, afternoon.

The war entered the ** part, the marble monk was trapped in the old fish lake, and the Taoist priest Zhang Luan and Miao Renbuji died on the yellow lawn.

At the same time, the third battle also began.

Zhang Hai's brigade was ambushed at the foot of the unicorn mountain north of the Yellow Lawn, west of Laoyu Lake, causing heavy casualties.

At that time, he was leading his army around Dujiao Mountain to surround the Song army. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army was destroyed halfway up the mountain. The people who attacked him were the 3,000 heavy troops led by Zhang Zai.

According to the tactics taught by Zhao Ze, Zhang Zai divided the 3,000 people into two teams. One team ambushed in the dangerous area of the mountain, controlling the road halfway up the mountain from a high place, and the other team ambushed on the way down the mountain. There was a forest where the snow was deep, which was conducive to hiding.

After more than half an hour of fierce battle, Zhang Hai's troops were scattered, with more than 3,000 dead and injured, and countless missing people. If it hadn't been for the Song army at that time, Zhang Hai would not have escaped the disaster.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, countless Song troops rushed down the Unicorn Mountain, all dressed in white and white armor, killing like an avalanche.

In an instant, he rushed to the middle of the mountain and cut down those frightened enemies to the ground, as fast as wind and lightning, and wildfires ignited the field.

This no-suspense battle was finally won by the officers and soldiers, and the thief fled.

Even so, Zhang Hai's army was almost completely destroyed. The Chinese army was stopped and cut off, and the former army was also ruthlessly attacked.

When he fled back to Shunyang, there were only more than 20 riders left, and almost everyone was injured.

On the same day, at the moment of the third battle.

Shunyang City was heavily shelled. Zhao Ze personally commanded the artillery on the Luoyan slope to shoot Shunyang City continuously. As a result, the ancient city that has lasted for thousands of years was destroyed.

Even the county government office was destroyed by shells, and the damage to the city wall was even more serious. The whole east city turned into ruins, the gate collapsed, and the arrow tower, the canopy, the secret door, Ru wall and other fortifications completely lost their function.

The number of casualties killed and injured by the cannon is in countless.

For a moment, there was chaos in the city, and the cries, shouts and screams were intertwined. The soldiers were in chaos and panicked all day long.

The shelling lasted for two quarters of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour later, Guo Mishan received a letter from outside the city. In the letter, Zhao Ze once again gently persuaded him to surrender.

And regretfully told him that the marble monk died in the old fish lake, and Zhang Luan and Bu Ji's men and horses were also completely destroyed on the yellow lawn.

As for his adopted son, he let him go and didn't kill him all. I hope Guo Yaoshan will repay his kindness. If he is willing to surrender, he will come to Luoyanpo alone. At that time, someone will guide him on the road and talk about the future in detail after meeting.

The signature is signed by Zhao Ze, the date is the third anniversary, December 9th.

Sunyang City,

The slanting moon reflects the cold light, and the cool wind blows the night air.

The horn is loud, and the lonely sleeping hero is shocked at night.

The war drums in the army have not been knocked one by one.

It was defeated, defeated, and damaged more than half of the meral.

Is it to surrender or continue to fight?

Guo Maushan sat in the collapsed rubble and asked the people around him.

They sat around a large, big bonfire, without saying a word, all of them were grounded.

The marble monk died, and Zhang Luan and Bu Ji also died, with an arm broken.

Revenge?

Who should I report it to?

Zhao Ze? Or the army?

Zhang Hai leaned his eyebrows on a charred wood and recalled quietly.

He wanted to know why Song Jun ambushed there.

Is it true that the man named Zhao Ze can really use soldiers like a god?

At this time, the third sister stood up from another bonfire and shouted, "Let's have dinner. Let's talk about it after eating. It's not too long."

That night, Guo Mioshan and his brothers had the last hot meal, and Ren Qian was also there.

Except for hanging a white cloth on his arm, he was not injured anywhere.

He still hates Song Jun, but that's only superficial.

The traitor is actually him. As early as last year, when Zhao Ze entered Yuncheng, he subdued Ren Qian and transferred his father and son's family to Luzhou.

Now the head of the Luzhou People's League is Ren Qian's father, Ren Haihai.

At that time, Zhao Ze just told Ren Qian that there was a Guo Mioshan on Shaanxi Road who might rebel in the future. If Ren Qian could sneak into his side before this, it would be very convenient to act in the future.

After Zhao Ze promised that he would work, he recommended Ren Qian to work in Beijing, and then Ren Qian agreed to work for him.

The next day,

Guo Mioshan got up early and rode on the road alone. After leaving Shunyang, he went straight to Luoyanpo in the east.

After the ten-mile mountain road, Luoyanpo is right in front of you.

Light snow is flying in the sky, and the trees on the roadside have become jade trees and honeysuckle.

When the wind came, Guo Miaoshan suddenly remembered a ballad and listened to the children sing it when he was young.

"The wolf shakes and shakes at the top of the tree, the wind blows and shakes the cradle, and the branches fall off..."

Hey hey, Guo Miaoshan will smile. It turns out that this is the feeling of hero loneliness.

I didn't expect that the phoenix fell on the barren slope that my parents said when they were alive. I thought it was to coax children to play.

That's all, that's all, the knife worn by Lv Qian's death, and Lei Huan lost the sword of Fengcheng.

It's useless to think about it.

After walking another distance, a man came in the wind and snow, a lion helmet and beast belt, silver armor and white robe.

Look at the appearance again, extraordinary, eyes like meteors, handsome and extraordinary, ape arm wolf waist, holding a long gun in hand, what a young general.

Guo Mioshan hugged him and asked tentatively, "Do you dare to ask who is coming, Lord Zhao?"

The young general smiled and replied, "It's Mu Yunhan, the captain of Lord Zhao's account, and the person who came is Guo Maushan!"

"It's the man of the mountains!" Guo Mishan felt very awkward. In addition to his parents, it was the first time that he had been called his full name. If he had been in normal times, he would have been popular long ago, but at this moment, forget it.

A moment later, Mu Yun coldly led the way and took Guo Mi Mountain to climb a mountain from the valley behind the falling geese slope. Along the way, Guo Ma Mountain saw many Song soldiers carrying muskets, carrying machetes, patrolling around, and wearing white clothes. It is difficult to find it if he stands in the distance. No wonder he always feels that someone is watching all the way. With him, it turned out to be Song Jun, who was lying in the dark.

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Guo Mioshan was still afraid. If he went up the mountain to cheat the surrender according to the plan discussed last night, and then took the opportunity to kill Zhao Ze and set the fire as a number. Then, the brothers who were ambush nearby surged out and killed the Song army all at Luoyanpo. It is estimated that nine times out of ten will be defeated.

"Cough" Guo Mioshan sighed to himself, saying that fortunately it was not the case, otherwise it would hurt Zhang Hai and the brothers in the cottage.

The surrender ceremony is carried out in a large white tent in Luoyan slope.

Witnesses sat in chairs on both sides, including Yang Wenguang, Zhe Xiaolan, Mu Yunhan, Shangguan Mei, and the rest of them were waiting to ambush at the bottom of the surrounding mountains to prevent sneak attacks.

Although the opponent surrendered, he could not be careless at any time in the war, which was Zhao Ze's experience.

After a stinging of incense, Guo Miaoshan knelt on the ground and looked at Zhao Ze, who was high. Then, he handed over his sword and kowtowed to plead.

Zhao Ze didn't make it difficult for him and asked Guo Mioshan to stand up and reply.

The talks went smoothly. Guo Mioshan's requirements are not high. If the court wants to eradicate it, he is willing to bear all the sins alone. It doesn't matter whether he kills or not, as long as his daughter and adopted son can survive. As for the others, they are all countrymen who are bewitched by him. Guo Mioshan also wants to plead for them.

Zhao Ze nodded and did not reply immediately. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

It means that I asked you to surrender but you didn't surrender. This time I couldn't move you, so you came to surrender. Your request is 're really not high'.

Guo Mishan also heard the meaning of Zhao Ze's words. He pleaded with Zhao Ze again, even if he was told to die immediately, he would not hesitate.

"A real hero, I admire your courage very much, but your sins are too great. Killing officials, seize cities, and gathering people to rebel. No matter which one is a capital crime, if you want me to help you, you have to show some sincerity first."

"Sincerity!"

Guo Mioshan was not sure what Zhao Ze meant. It was difficult to decide without asking, so he asked directly, "Lord Zhao, just say it. What should I do with me?"

"Okay, it's refreshing. I don't have high requirements. While the army of the court is still on the way, if you can help me take down the Li Tiegun group in Fangzhou, your death penalty is inevitable and you have to work. I use black gauze on my head to protect your family from worry-free, and let you be promoted. It depends on whether you can do it or not!"

Guo Mioshan gritted his teeth and answered a word very simply: "Do it!"

Since Guo Yaoshan agreed, Zhao Ze quickly took advantage of the hot iron, took out the long-written document, asked Guo Yaoshan to press his fingerprints, and then told him about the situation of Fangzhou to see what countermeasures he had.
