Chapter 518: Deng Jun enters Baishui

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on June [-]th, Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng led the army to line up in front of the pass. At this time, the south gate of Baishuiguan, which had been closed for a long time, was slowly opened, and Gong Dory led a group of Baishuiguan generals. He walked out of the city holding the letter of surrender, came to Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng, bowed and held up the letter and said: "The sinful general does not know the time of heaven, and tries to fight against the heavenly soldiers, causing the people of Baishuiguan to fall into dire straits. Today, the sinful general will wake up. Lead a total of [-] soldiers from Baishuiguan to surrender to the heavenly soldiers, and I hope the general will accept it!"

Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng looked around and found that Qin Jun really wanted to surrender, not to deceive them, so they looked at each other and then got off their horses. The generals saw that the two elder brothers had dismounted, and they were not good They continued to stay on the horse, so they dismounted one after another and followed closely behind Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng.

Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng came to Gong Bian together. Deng Qiang took the letter of surrender from Gong Bian's hand, helped him up and said: "The general understands the righteousness, and with the whole city's soldiers and people in mind, he goes out of the city and surrenders, so that the whole city can be surrendered." I will be very happy to fight against you and me, and I will accept you on behalf of Deng with General Li Xiucheng."

"Thank you, General!" The Qin generals headed by Gong Dory were very happy, and finally let go of their worries.

After appeasing Gong Dory, Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng turned around and shouted loudly to the [-] troops behind them: "All soldiers, follow me into the city!"

"Step! Step! Step!" Hundreds of thousands of Deng Jun walked slowly into Baishui Pass with rhythmic steps. So far, the number one pass in the south of Qin State fell into the hands of Deng Guo, and the loss of Baishui Pass also meant that The Battle of Deng Qin Hanzhong is also coming to an end.

Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng, led by Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng, walked into the general mansion, which symbolized the supreme power of Baishuiguan, under the leadership of Gong Dory and others. People sit on both sides.

At this time, someone should come out to speak, but Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng are equal in status, and it is not appropriate for anyone to speak first. At this time, Li Xiucheng nodded to Deng Qiang and motioned Deng Qiang to say, after all, In addition to being a general of Yiwei, he is also a member of the Deng royal family. In terms of status, he is the most suitable leader.

Deng Qiang was no longer pretentious, smiled, and said to the crowd: "Today our army entered Baishui Pass, and all the generals have contributed a lot. When the troops return to the court in the future, I and General Li Xiucheng will personally ask for your credit. .”

"It's all thanks to the great general's leadership, and the last general dare not take credit for it!" When everyone heard this, they all suppressed their inner joy and said humbly.

"Who has what merit, this general and General Li are very clear, where is General Gong Bing?" Deng Qiang waved his hand and said.

Gong Dory, who was at the back, heard Deng Qiang calling him, and hurriedly came out and clapped his hands: "General, the last general is here!"

Deng Qiang looked at Gong Bing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Our army was able to take Baishuiguan so smoothly, thanks to General Gong Bing and the generals at Baishuiguan who understood the righteousness and abandoned the dark for the bright. Since the general and others have already belonged to my great Deng Qiang." , should be incorporated into our army, but the appointment of a military position requires the approval of the general's governor's office. Now I have to wrong the general to serve as a partial general in our army. In the future, when Hanzhong is pacified and the commander returns to the imperial court, I will personally ask for credit for the general, I wonder what the general thinks?"

Although it was Deng Qiang who asked for Gong Dory's opinion, his tone carried the meaning that he could not refuse. Gong Dory also knew Deng's military system, so he didn't have any opinions. He was not very willing, so he said: "Back to the general, the last general and others did not have any objections, but the last general and others all came from Qin State. Although they belong to Deng today, they still don't want to do anything to their former comrades. General En Zhun, Zuo Zuo will not need to go north with the army."

Gong Dory's words made Deng Jun's generals very dissatisfied. This nima, who is so poor in skills and begging for mercy, dares to make demands. Deng Qiang is just exaggerating a few words from you, and he really thinks he is an onion ?
Just as the generals of Deng Jun were about to reprimand Gong Biao, Deng Qiang said with a smile: "General Gong Biao can say such a thing, which shows that General Gong Biao is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. The general said it well. The country has no righteousness, but the general and others are from the Qin Dynasty after all, and it is reasonable to think about the brotherhood of robes and brothers in the past. In this case, General Gong Biao led the army south to Jianshan to accept the request of Li Jing, the general of Tianwuwei. Incorporation and specific appointments will be decided after the Battle of Hanzhong subsides."

"Thank you, General!" In fact, when Gong Dory just finished speaking, his heart was pounding. In the eyes of others, he still missed his homeland. If Deng Qiang got angry, he might die There is no place to be buried. Fortunately, Deng Qiang is also a person who understands righteousness, and he didn't blame himself for it.

Just after Deng Qiang and others took control of Baishuiguan, Yongningwei and Shenwuwei outside the north gate of Baishuiguan also discovered the abnormal movement of Baishuiguan.

"What? You said that the flag closed by Baishui has become my Great Deng's military flag?" Murong Chui asked in disbelief as he looked at the scouts who came to report in the large tent of the Chinese Army.

The scout nodded and said: "Yes, I can see clearly that the Qin army banner that closed Baishuiguan is gone, and it is replaced by my Deng army flag, and I still recognize it. The military flags on the city are Jinwuwei and Dragon Wu Wei's."

"The military flags of Jinwuwei and Longwuwei? Could it be that Jinwuwei and Longwuwei have already captured Baishuiguan? But it's not right. There has been no trace of fighting at Baishuiguan these days. This is where Longwuwei and Jinwuwei are. How did you get into Baishui Pass?" Seeing the scouts confirming again and again, Murong Chui was also a little confused, there was no sign of fighting at Baishui Pass, how did Longwuwei and Jinwuwei enter the city?

"General Murong, why bother? Shouldn't we lead the army to take a look and see?" At this moment, Lu Feng who was sitting beside him said.

"That's right!" A word awakened the dreamer, since he didn't know, why don't he find out by taking a look with his soldiers?So he said to everyone: "Come on, let's go to Baishuiguan to have a look."

When Murong Chui and Lu Feng led their troops to Baishui Pass, they found that, just as the scouts said, all the banners of the Qin army that had been closed at Baishui Pass had disappeared, and instead the flags of Longwuwei and Jinwuwei in Deng's army had been inserted. Chui and Lu Feng looked at each other, and then sent someone to the city to call for Guan.

Soon, a fast horse rushed to Baishuiguan, and the soldiers on the horse shouted to the city: "Are the brothers in the city Longwuwei and Jinwuwei? We belong to Yongningwei and Shenwuwei, please Tell me quickly!"

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that Yongningwei and Shenwuwei were coming, they hurried to the general's mansion. Everyone in the general's mansion was happy. Suddenly they heard that Yongningwei and Shenwuwei were coming. The Yongning Guard and Shenwu Guard outside the gate were forgotten, so they didn't dare to be negligent. Deng Qiang, Li Xiucheng and others hurriedly led a group of generals to the north gate to meet the brother guards.

Outside the north gate of Baishuiguan, Murongchui and Lu Feng looked at the indifferent Baishuiguan, and they were also very puzzled. When they were puzzled, the north gate of Baishuiguan slowly opened, Murongchui and Lu Feng hurriedly Let the whole army be on alert, but when they saw the generals of Longwuwei and Jinwuwei headed by Deng Qiang and Li Xiu walking out of the city, the two were relieved and hurried forward.

After seeing Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng, Murong Chui quickly asked: "General Deng, General Li, what's going on? Why did you enter Baishui Pass?"

"General Murong and General Lu don't know that the guard of Baishui Pass, Gong Bing, has surrendered to our army, and our army has captured Baishui Pass without bloodshed." Deng Qiang said with a smile.

Murong Chui and Lu Feng finally cleared up the doubts in their hearts. I said, why did Longwuwei and Jinwuwei take down Baishui Pass without saying a word? What is puzzling is why did Gong Dory suddenly surrender?

Li Xiucheng on the side also saw the doubts in Murongchui and Lu Feng's hearts, so he said with a smile: "Let's go back and talk about it in detail, now advance to the city."

Murong Chui and Lu Feng nodded. Now that Baishui Pass belongs to Deng State, it doesn't matter if they stay outside the city, so they nodded in agreement. Of course, it is impossible for all 10,000+ troops to enter the city. , after all, the scale of Baishuiguan is not too large. When the Qin army was stationed, the total number of soldiers and civilians in the city was only tens of thousands. How could it be possible to place 10,000+ troops?

After entering the city, Deng Qiang and Li Xiucheng told Murong Chui and Lu Feng about Gong Biao's surrender, and then asked Murong Chui and Lu Feng: "General Murong Chui, General Lu Feng, I have been waiting on Shuzhong Road for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation in Hanzhong County, so I don't know how the battle in Hanzhong is going?"

Murong Chui said: "Since our army entered Hanzhong County, it first coerced the Dingyuan Fortress and forced the main force of the Qin Army to rush to help. Then General Yue sent me to lead the Shenwu Guards to take down Anyang City and Yangping Pass, and forced Nanzheng City. , the main general of the Qin army retreated to Chenggu, and now he is being trapped in Chenggu by General Yue. After I took Anyang City and Yangping Pass, I have been waiting for General Yue's military orders. So I sent General Xie and General Ren Ping to lead the headquarters to guard Yangping Pass with 2 troops. After the situation in the northern border of Hanzhong stabilized a bit, I led the army to take Baozhong and Nanzheng, and went all the way south to join General Lu Feng. Came to Baishuiguan."

"I didn't expect the Qin army to come so fast. Fortunately, General Yue had the foresight to send General Murong to capture Anyang City and Yangping Pass in advance. Otherwise, there may be another change in the battle of Hanzhong." Li Xiucheng immediately understood, and at the same time Fortunately, if Murong Chui hadn't reacted quickly enough, when the Qin army's reinforcements entered Hanzhong County, it might not be so easy to take down Hanzhong County.

"Okay, I'll rest at Baishuiguan for a while, and then move north to join General Yue, annihilate Chenggu Wei Song, and end this war completely," Deng Qiang said.

"That's a great word!"
