Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Regarding how to deal with Zhao Mang, there are two attitudes in the army. One thinks that Zhao Mang injured several generals, so he should be killed to avenge the lieutenant soldiers and give Yang Boquan a blow. The other thinks that Zhao Mang He is a rare fierce general, it is a pity to kill him, he can be persuaded to surrender and join the Northwest Army, Zhou Yanhuan naturally supports the latter.

Tan Dayong thought for a moment, and said: "Generals, according to this general, Zhao Mang can try to persuade him to surrender. If he would rather die than surrender, it's not too late to kill him, then leave this matter to Zhou Bingchang. Right." Zhou Bingchang was exactly Zhou Yanhuan's pseudonym in the army, and Tan Dayong's doing so was also indirectly supporting the persuasion.

"Yes! The last general will not disgrace his fate!" After the meeting was over, Zhou Yanhuan excitedly brought Wang Yanzhi and Chen Wendong to the military tent where Zhao Mang was imprisoned. "General Zhao, how are you doing these days?"

"Hmph! Since I've been captured, I don't intend to go back alive. Give grandpa a good time!" After Zhao Mang finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Zhou Yanhuan and the others.Ever since he was captured, Zhao Mang didn't eat or drink, and wanted to die. For such a person, Chen Wendong still admires him very much.

Chen Wendong walked up to Zhao Mang, and said cheerfully, "General Zhao, do you still have parents or relatives in your family?"

"Hahaha! I grew up alone in a monk's temple. I have no parents, no wife and children. My son, if you want to blackmail me with my parents, you have made a mistake." Zhao Mang When he saw Chen Wendong, he became angry. If it weren't for this kid, he wouldn't be where he is today. It's really capsized in the gutter!

Hearing what Zhao Mang said, Chen Wendong already had a plan in his mind. He ignored Zhao Mang's cannibalistic eyes and said with a smile: "General Zhao misunderstood, I just want to ask General Zhao some questions. General Zhao As a general, leading the army every day, he naturally knows how many soldiers die in battle every day, I don’t know if General Zhao has ever thought about how these people’s parents and relatives feel, how can they survive without support?” Seeing Zhao Mang’s silence Without saying a word, Chen Wendong continued: "I think General Zhao also knows who the instigator of all this is. Zhou Yanji slaughtered his elder brother, stole the throne, and for his own selfish desires, even a few years old children are not willing to let go.

My king was ordered to go to Beijing to meet the new emperor, but he didn't want Zhou Yanji to be ambitious and want to wipe out all the clansmen in the world.My king was forced to do nothing to do this righteousness of doing justice for the heavens.May I ask, is such a cruel, ruthless, merciless person who puts the world in dire straits, qualified to rule the world? "Chen Wendong squatted down, looked directly into Zhao Mang's eyes, and said slowly: "And you are Zhou Yanji's accomplice, the lackey who disturbed the world. "

"You! You don't think about your own faults, but you slander me instead. Based on your hype, you are also traitors!" Zhao Mang was a little excited, and his voice raised a little unconsciously.

Chen Wendong sneered, "Oh! What is a traitor? General Zhao should know the saying that winners and losers, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Zhou Yanji has lost the hearts of the people. Jisheng is suspicious and narrow-minded, even if we can let you go back, with his temperament, will you have any good fruit?"

At this time Zhou Yanhuan said slowly: "General Zhao, you did not hesitate to shed blood when you invaded the Northwest this time. Have you ever cared about the people in these two places, have you ever sympathized with these tens of millions of soldiers? Our Jingbian King Army What is the purpose of stationing in the northwest and fighting against the barbarians every year? Even now that we have separated from the imperial court, we have never mobilized a single soldier against the common people. General Zhao, as a soldier, has the duty to protect The family defends the country, and gives peace and tranquility to the people of the world, instead of being willing to be a running dog and disregarding the people of the world to satisfy some people's selfish desires."

Seeing that Zhao Mang bowed his head and remained silent, Chen Wendong said again: "General Zhao is a smart man, so he naturally understands the principle that good birds choose trees to live in. That's it, I think you will understand the stakes. At this time tomorrow, You give us an answer." Having said this, Chen Wendong can be regarded as benevolent, life or death, it all depends on Zhao Mang's choice, if Zhao Mang does not surrender, they will naturally not raise tigers.

On the second day, when Zhou Yanhuan and others saw Zhao Mang again, Zhao Mang looked haggard, obviously he hadn't slept all night.Zhou Yanhuan didn't talk nonsense, and straight to the point: "General Zhao, how are you thinking?"

Zhao Mang was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I promise to submit to you, but I have two conditions." After speaking, Zhao Mang looked at Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan smiled and said, "General Zhao has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"First, I will never fight against General Yang in this life. Yang Boquan has been kind to me. Although I, Zhao Mang, am a rough person, I am by no means ungrateful. If I were to fight against General Yang, I would rather fight now. Die." After speaking, Zhao Mang looked at Zhou Yanhuan again.

"General Zhao is affectionate and righteous. How can I, Mr. Zhou, force others to be difficult? This is not a problem. Then the second request of General Zhao is...?"

"I am a surrendered general, so my position in the army is unavoidably embarrassing. Since General Zhou surrendered me, from now on, I am willing to work under General Zhou's command. I don't know what General Zhou wants?" To put it bluntly,' I was arrested by you, and I will listen to you from now on. Other people's words don't work with me. Of course, the premise of my obedience is that you must be able to protect me. '

"Zhou can't wait for it." Saying that, Zhou Yanhuan got up and released Zhao Mang's rope, pulled him to sit down together, and poured him a cup of tea himself.The two of you talked to each other, and the chat was very speculative, and there was a tendency to meet each other and hate it later.

At this time, Chen Wen suddenly asked: "General Zhao, what you said earlier that 'no parents or relatives are alive' is true?" Seeing that Zhao Mang's face darkened, Chen Wendong hurriedly said: "General Zhao, don't get me wrong. , I also have good intentions. Now that you have surrendered, the government will naturally not tolerate you. If your relatives are still in the Central Plains, I am afraid they will be implicated."

Zhao Mang sneered a few times, glared at Chen Wendong, and said, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Mang, am upright and aboveboard, and I will never do such false and submissive things. What I said before is the truth. Although my master is in the Central Plains, he is Hua The outsider has high abilities, so the imperial court will not be able to find him."

Chen Wendong smiled, and stopped talking, just stayed by the side. Of course, given Zhao Mang's dislike for him, even if he talked, people might not be willing to talk to him.Now Chen Wendong admired Zhao Mang a little bit, this person is careless and careful, he is indeed a talent, it can be seen from his words and deeds just now.

Afterwards, Zhou Yanhuan took Zhao Mang to meet Tan Dayong.Tan Dayong was naturally very happy, after hearing Zhao Mang's two conditions, he agreed without hesitation.It can be seen from this that Tan Dayong is indeed a broad-minded person. If he meets a small-minded person, he will never agree so happily, and he may have to suspect Zhou Yanhuan has ambiguity or something.

On the third day of Zhao Mang's surrender, Yang Boquan's main force arrived.After Zhao Mang was captured, the vanguard army he led was beaten to pieces by Tan Dayong, and he had to camp fifty miles away from the new city.When these people saw Yang Baiquan, they could be regarded as seeing their relatives, and they burst into tears!

Yang Boquan heard about Zhao Mang's betrayal, so he didn't blow his lungs. After he reorganized the vanguard army into the team, he came to the new city in a mighty manner.
