"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Mo Tan was afraid that the soldiers who were still following him would also be affected by the surrendered soldier, so he hurriedly said loudly: "I, Mo Tan, swear to God, as long as all brothers follow me and fight out, I guarantee that when I return to the city, I will

I will give everyone a heavy reward, and the heavens testify that I will never go back on my word. If I tell you half a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die."

"Brothers, Mo Tan's oath is no different from farts. If you believe his words, you will be killed." The surrendered soldier said.

Seeing that the soldier was trying to dismantle him, Mo Tan was so angry that he pointed the big gun at the soldier and cursed: "Damn you, I will catch you soon and I will cut you into pieces."

,ah……"

Before Mo Tan finished speaking, three arrows suddenly flew and stuck in his chest. Mo Tan screamed and fell off his horse, twisting on the ground twice and died.

This was Hu Yanzhuo's order to shoot Mo Tan to death, because only in this way the soldiers would no longer be threatened and bewitched by him, and it would be easier to subdue them without bloodshed.

Wang Yin said: "Fellow rebel brothers, Mo Tan is dead. If you continue to resist, you will end up like him. Now put down your weapons and surrender. We promise not to harm your lives and will treat you like our own brothers."

"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "This is everyone's last chance. If you miss it now, there is really only one way to die. Therefore, I advise everyone to put down their weapons and surrender quickly to avoid incurring death disaster for themselves."

Those rebels had objections to Mo Tan in the first place, but they did not dare to rebel because they were afraid of his power. Now that they saw that he was dead, they no longer had any worries in their hearts, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.

"General Hu Yan and the others surrendered." Wang Yin said to Hu Yanzhuo with a smile.

"This is the best outcome."

Hu Yanzhuo nodded slightly and said: "Otherwise, if we really subdue them by force, even if they have fewer people than us, they will still cause casualties to our soldiers. Now, if we subdue them without using swords, it will be detrimental to these soldiers and us."

All in all, it’s the best result.”

Later, Hu Yanzhuo asked Xu Fang to lead five thousand cavalry to guard the surrendering soldiers behind.

Then he called the surrender soldier who had been persuading other rebel soldiers to surrender to the horse and asked: "What is your name?"

"Back to the general, my name is Chen Dahong."

"What did you originally do?" Hu Yanzhuo asked again.

Chen Dahong said: "The villain turned out to be a stonemason."

"Oh, I didn't expect that you were also a stonemason, and we are still traveling together." When Wang Yin heard that Chen Dahong was also a stonemason, he immediately felt as if he had met a relative, and his tone of voice became softer.

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Then why don't you become a stonemason and join Wang Qing's rebellion?"

Chen Dahong said: "Because the prefect forced us to build a stone building for him without paying us wages, and the supervisor often beat us severely. The villain couldn't stand it anymore, so he killed the supervisor and fled his hometown. He was afraid of being caught by the government and spent all day wandering around.

Hiding in Tibet,

He didn't have enough to eat and lived a very bad life. Later, Wang Qing rebelled. I thought he was a rebel who made decisions for the people, so I defected to him. But I didn't expect that he was a guy selling dog meat with sheep's heads. He was worse than those corrupt officials.

The officials are even more hateful."

"Since you already know who Wang Qing and the others are, why don't you leave?" Hu Yanzhuo asked again.

Chen Dahong said: "The villain originally wanted to leave, but every time he wanted to leave, he would think that the villain is now wanted by the government. If he leaves Wang Qing, where can he go to live? What if he is wanted by the government?

The government caught him and he even lost his life.

So, I didn’t leave until the end.”

After hearing his experience, Hu Yanzhuo said, "Are you willing to join the imperial army?"

"Join the imperial army!"

Chen Dahong was stunned for a moment and asked: "This villain is a wanted criminal by the government. Can the imperial army want me?"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "The emperor has issued a decree. People like you who were forced by corrupt officials to kill people and become rebels will be forgiven for all the crimes they have committed as long as they are willing to submit to the court and promise not to betray again in the future.

.

You killed the supervisor before because you were forced by corrupt officials and evil officials. You joined the rebel army just to have a roof over your head and belong to the pardoned people.

Therefore, as long as you are willing to join the imperial army, any crimes you have committed in the past can be written off and will no longer be pursued."

"The villain is willing to join the imperial army."

Chen Dahong knelt in front of Hu Yanzhuo's horse and said excitedly: "I would like to thank the general very much. From now on, I will swear to be loyal to the general to the death and repay the kindness of the general for his rebirth."

Hu Yanzhuo asked him to stand up and said, "Chen Dahong, you go to do something now."

"General, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Even if you are a villain, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Chen Dahong said.

Hu Yanzhuo pointed to Yiyang City in front and said, "I asked you to persuade the remaining soldiers staying in the city to surrender. Are you willing to go?"

"The villain is willing to go." Chen Dahong said.

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Then how many people are you going to take?"

Chen Dahong said: "If you don't take me with you, I'll go alone."

"You go alone."

Hu Yanzhuo was a little uneasy and said: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. What if they do something bad to you? You'd better bring more people with you." M.caset

Chen Dahong said: "General, don't worry. Those soldiers who stayed in the city were almost all forced to join Wang Qing's rebel army just like the villains. Moreover, Mo Tan usually doesn't treat them well. Everyone treats Mo Tan in their hearts.

With hatred. The villain can guarantee that as long as you tell them, they will put down their weapons and surrender. If there are too many people, it will make them suspicious."

Hu Yanzhuo was still a little worried, Wang Yin said: "Let him go, I believe he can do it."

"Then go ahead."

Hearing what Wang Yin said, Hu Yanzhuo nodded slightly, explained the conditions for the escort army to recruit the surrendered army, and then said: "If you don't come back in half an hour, I will lead my troops to attack the city immediately."

"yes."

Chen Dahong saluted Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Yin with clasped fists, and then walked towards Yiyang City.

Arriving under the gate of Yiyang City, Chen Dahong shouted to the soldiers on the tower: "Brothers, open the city gate quickly. I have something important to tell you."

When the soldiers on the city tower saw that he was the only one back, they thought that Mo Tan and the others had all been killed in the battle, and wanted to know the situation from him, so they immediately opened the city gate and let him in.

"Have General Mo and the others died in the battle?" As soon as Chen Dahong entered the city, he was surrounded by a large group of soldiers asking questions.

Chen Dahong looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Mo Tan is dead, and all the other brothers have surrendered."

"Why, Mo Tan died and all the other brothers surrendered!"

This news really shocked the surrounding soldiers. One of them asked: "Aren't our reinforcements already here? How could it be that General Mo died in the battle and the other brothers surrendered?"

Chen Dahong said: "The reinforcements did not come at all. It was just a trap set by the Song soldiers. In fact, they were just killing each other and acting out."

When the soldiers heard what he said, they all started talking in horror.

"Mo Tan is dead and those brothers have surrendered. The Song army will soon attack Yiyang City. We can't defend it at all. What should we do?"

"Yes, we had 10,000 people before, but now there are only 2,000 people in the four gate towers. We can't resist their attack at all. If they attack, none of us will survive. It's better to take advantage of them before they can do it."

, let’s run away.”

"Escape. Who knows if they have set up an ambush outside? If they set up an ambush outside, wouldn't it be a trap for us to go out?"

"Then what should we do? We can't wait to die in the city, right?"

Seeing that everyone was already panicking, Chen Dahong said at this time: "Brothers, don't panic yet, it's easy to survive."

"Really, if you have any ideas, please tell me quickly." The soldiers urged.

Chen Dahong said: "To be honest, brothers, I have surrendered to the Song Army. The generals of the Song Army are very friendly to us and do not abuse, beat or abuse us. They know that you are also forced or bewitched to join.

Wang Qing is a rebel, so he doesn't want to drive you all away.

Therefore, I have been specifically asked to come back to persuade you to surrender. As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender, and no longer oppose the imperial court, they will forget about it and will not pursue you for joining the returning army. Those who are willing to go home to serve the people can pay you travel expenses to go back.

Reunite with your family and those who are willing to join the imperial army can join the imperial army. Moreover, the generals of the Song Army also said that if you are willing to join the imperial army, you will receive very generous rewards and rewards."

Then he told the soldiers what Hu Yanzhuo had told him about the benefits of joining the imperial army.

"What you said is true. Are there really so many benefits to joining the imperial army?" a soldier asked.

"Yes, it's not like we haven't dealt with the imperial army before. They are no different from Mo Tan. I don't think what they say is credible." Another soldier also said.

Chen Dahong said: "The general who led the army said this to me personally. I saw that the general looked upright and did not look like a liar, so I think I can believe it.

In addition, even if part of what the general said is untrue, at least our lives can be saved, and the court also needs soldiers to fight to maintain the stability of the country, so it should not be able to treat everyone badly."

The soldiers thought for a while, and one of them said: "I think he is right. No matter what, the most important thing is to save our lives first. We can look at the rest later. If they can really do what they said,

If they can't do that, then we will serve the court wholeheartedly. If they can't do that, then we will leave and go home to serve the people."

"There is no other way now, this is the only way." The others also said.

The rebel soldier who first asked Chen Dahong said to him: "Go back and tell the Song general that we agree to surrender."

Chen Dahong said: "Brothers, it is very wise to make such a choice, but now there are brothers in the other three towers who have not surrendered. Why don't you brothers follow me and persuade them to surrender, and then everyone goes to Song Camp together?

Meet the generals of the Song Army."

"Okay, we'll go with you."
