broken!Li Er's son turned out to be a hidden boss

"General Xue, I heard that when His Majesty seized the throne, the Crown Prince held a drum-beating golden hammer and smashed the Xuanwu Gate?"

"Is this true?"

Li Cunxiao asked eagerly.

"Really, not only is it true, His Royal Highness also used the spear in his hand to break through the Xuande Gate of Chang'an City."

"Then I'll give it a try tomorrow. Unfortunately, Chishan City is too small and doesn't have that tall city gate!"

Li Cunxiao said with some regret.

"General Li, I'll see you tomorrow!"

There was nothing to say at night, the guards of Chishan City were stunned when they saw that Datang had an army of more than one hundred thousand people.

At first he thought Datang was scaring him, but when he saw the smoke rising from Datang cooking, he panicked.

There are only less than 2 defenders in Chishan City, and even those who returned from the defeat are less than 5.

How can this combination of half disabled soldiers and half old and weak face Li Cunxiao's wolf-like flying tiger army?

Moreover, in Chishan City, there is no food that can feed so many people, and even weapons are not available for everyone. How can they resist?

"General, why don't we run away!"

The deputy general of Chishan City suggested.

"Run? How do we run?"

"Wouldn't it still be the same to die if you run back?"

"And, what about the family?"

"I'm the only one left in our family, and I'm counting on me to restore the family's former glory."

The guard of Chishan City is a young man named Xiao Li. It can be seen that he doesn't like Chishan City very much, because their Xiao family was originally a Khitan family, but because of some reasons, they were marginalized and neglected. up.

As the family deteriorated day by day, in his generation, Xiao Li was the only one left to take action.

And he went bankrupt, and what he got in exchange was just a fifth-rank official position as a guard of Chishan City, not even a miscellaneous general.

But now, if he ran away, those who targeted their family would definitely wipe out the roots and send him to the guillotine.

Even if they don't die, their Xiao family will never have a chance to stand up again.

"Let's go, General, I know you are an aristocrat, one of the best in Khitan, but it's all over!"

"If you die in battle, then the Xiao family will really be left behind. If we run away, there are still tens of thousands of people under our command. Those in Zhongjing will be afraid of these people under your command and dare not do anything to you."

Xiao Li's lieutenant general, who is also the general of the Xiao family, tried his best to persuade him.

Since the battle of defending the city in ancient times, the city has been the most important thing, but now, this Chishan City is far behind when the Daliao Kingdom was founded in the later generations.

Hundreds of years later, Yelu Abaoji, the head of the Khitan clan, established the Liao Kingdom and established the Five Capitals. At that time, Chishan City was the Shangjing and Linhuang Mansion of the Daliao Kingdom, but now it is just a small city.

"A Bao, you don't understand. Those nobles don't care about these 5 people. They are still living in their dreams. They really think that all ethnic groups in the Northeast can resist the Tang Dynasty's offensive. They..."

"Hey!"

Xiao Li sighed.

Inside the Khitan, among the nobles, it was too decadent. The Yelu family had ruled Khitan for so long that they had forgotten the foundation of Khitan's survival.

Now Khitan has come out again, Tie Shiwen who wants to invade the south and take down the Central Plains.

Xiao Li could already foresee how the Khitan would be destroyed in the future.

"General, how about..."

"Let's surrender!"

"The city guards can't defend it, and they can't retreat. Since those nobles want us to die, why do we have to work for them?"

"Look at the Tuli Khan of the Turks, and those savages of Mohe, after they descended to the Tang Dynasty, weren't they treated as slaves?"

"People of the tribe enjoy the same treatment as Tang people..."

"Bao, you..."

Xiao Li looked at this famous general in surprise, and he was also his most trusted partner since he was a child.

It was the first time he heard the word surrender from Ah Bao's mouth. Even when their family was in the most difficult time, Ah Bao never persuaded him to surrender.

"General, you are the only one left in our Xiao family, you can't be the last one, otherwise, what face do you have to meet the ancestors!"

"Besides, my Ah Bao is loyal to the Xiao family, not the Khitan. Since the Khitan doesn't want us, why don't we leave?"

"With a city as a bargaining chip, I think the Tang Dynasty will give the young master a good official position. I wonder if my Xiao family can flourish in the Tang Dynasty in the future."

A Bao said in a persuasive and persuasive manner.

Before starting, he didn't think about surrendering. What he thought about was how to fight Datang to the end. After hearing Xiao Li's words at that time, he felt that such a death was not worth it.

Since it's not worth it, then change the way of life, change the way of life that is worthwhile.

"A Bao, let me think about it, no matter what, my Xiao family is a powerful family that can be on equal footing with the Yelu family in Khitan..."

"Master, time doesn't wait. Tomorrow at most, the Tang army will definitely attack the city. It's hard to say if there are casualties."

"Anyway, Ah Bao thinks that we should surrender, but Ah Bao still said that Khitan can't tolerate us, so let's go to Datang, where good birds choose trees to live in."

Xiao Li sat on the chair, pondered for a long time, his face changed several times, and finally brought A Bao to the clan ancestral hall.

"The ancestors of the Xiao family are on top, Xiao Li, the younger generation, has something to report!"

"Now, Khitan can't tolerate my Xiao family. As the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Li wants to bring the Xiao family to the Tang Dynasty and change the way of life for my Xiao family. Please don't blame the ancestors!"

Xiao Li knelt for half the night, when he stood up, there was already something called fortitude in his eyes.

"A Bao, you send your confidant to go out of the city overnight to the Tang camp to ask for your surrender. After a while, you will bring me those nails and invite them to my tent, and tell me that I have something important to ask."

Xiao Li said viciously, he had already come to Chishan City, those people still didn't let him go, and even placed troops among his few soldiers, now, don't blame Xiao Li for being cruel.

"General, I don't know it's so late, what can you do with us?"

Someone asked with a sullen expression, obviously, none of them looked down on the general in front of them.

"Everyone, let me just say it straight, now that the Tang soldiers are approaching the city, our little Chishan City has absolutely no chance of resisting it!"

"You guys are all masters. After you return to Beijing, I would like to ask you to say a few kind words to save my younger brother's life. For this reason, I am willing to donate all my wealth to these older brothers."

clap clap!

With a light tap of the palm, several large boxes were brought in.

"Brothers, please take a look. This box contains the magical weapons that my Xiao family has collected for a hundred years. Where are the rare and rare treasures? Please accept them!"

Xiao Li bent down and made a big salute to them. Seeing that Xiao Li was so unsuspecting of him, they walked to the front of the box one after another.

"General, general, the Tang army is calling for battle below the city!"

Just when the box was about to be opened, Ah Bao's voice came over.

"Several brothers, you watch first, I will go to the city to send Tang Jun, and in the future, I will rely on a few of you!"

Xiao Li withdrew from the military tent very humbly, and took away the guarding soldiers, as if he wanted to leave space for a few people, but in fact...

"Are the archers ready?"
