Chapter 677: Li Rubing Returns

In the tenth year of Tiantong, on the ninth day of August, Yue Fei and Li Siye accepted the letter of surrender from Chen Ping, a veteran of the Zhao State, at the foot of the eldest son of Shangdang County, and incorporated [-] Zhao troops under Chen Ping's command. Afterwards, Li Siye left the Habayashi Guards Stationed in Shangdang County, while he led the remaining soldiers and horses north to Jinyang City.

In the tenth year of Tiantong, on August [-]th, in Weijun, Deng Jun's camp, and the Chinese army's big tent, Deng Qiang, the general of the Jinwu Guard, said cursingly: "It's unreasonable, we are fighting Li Rubing here desperately, Unexpectedly, Wudangwei's group of boys took the lead in the end, marched into Jinyang City, and forced Zhao Guojun and ministers to surrender, and Wudangwei took the skill of destroying Zhao's head in such a muddle."

"King Guiyang, don't be like this. After all, this Deng Zhong is also your nephew. You should be happy that he has made such great achievements." Zhang Liao, the general of Shence Guard, said with a smile.

"The king didn't say he was unhappy, but he was not reconciled. We fought with hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops in Wei County, and in the end we took advantage of that boy Deng Zhong, alas..." Deng Qiang said with a sigh.

Deng Zhong was able to achieve such an achievement. In fact, Deng Qiang was also very happy in his heart. In recent years, there has been a shortage of talents in the clan, especially in the army. He and Deng Ai are already old. They have come down, and among the younger generation, except for Deng Zhong, the great general of Wudangwei, they are all unusable. Now that Deng Zhong has achieved the merits of destroying the country, it is no problem to carry the banner of the clan in the army in the future. How could Qiang be unhappy?It's just that I feel a little unwilling.

"Okay!" At this time, Xue Rengui, who was sitting in the main seat, said: "Now Wudangwei has taken Jinyang City, and the skill of destroying Zhaotou is already theirs. No matter how unwilling we are, it is useless. Let's think about it." How to deal with Li Rubing, Your Majesty has a will, Li Rubing is a rare famous general in the world, if possible, try to persuade Li Rubing to surrender, and with Li Rubing around, we can better stabilize the situation in Hebei."

Li Rubing became the General of Zhao State after the Langmeng Incident. With the support of Emperor Zhao Wen, Li Rubing's prestige in Zhao State was very high. Zhang Chuan is too strong. If Li Rubing can surrender, then the entire Zhao army in Hebei will give up resistance.

"General, if Li Rubing can surrender, that would be a good thing, but Li Rubing is very arrogant. Although he has the order of the queen mother of Zhao Guo, it is not so easy to get him to surrender." Murong Ke frowned. Said.

"It's natural. As a famous general in the world, Li Rubing has his own pride. Although Zhao Guo has already perished in name, it is not so easy for him to accept his fate." Xue Rengui nodded and said.

Comparing your heart to your heart, Xue Rengui is now at the same height as Li Rubing. If you were yourself, you would not surrender so easily. If you were defeated, you would admit it, but surrendering without a fight is hard to accept. of.

"General, why don't you let your subordinates persuade Li Rubing?" At this time, Sun Wuji, the commander of the Spirit Snake Guard, volunteered to persuade Li Rubing to surrender.

"Military Master Changsun, are you sure you can convince Li Rubing?" Xue Rengui asked.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Back to the general, to be honest, my subordinates are not too sure, but although the subordinates are not very sure that they can persuade Li Rubing, it is still possible to persuade the generals under him. Now that the State of Zhao is dead, Zhao Jun has no one to be loyal to, and his morale is already at a low point. Moreover, most of Zhao Jun’s family members are in Jinyang City. Now Jinyang City is in our army’s hands, and their family members are also in our army. In the hands of the army, the so-called family, country and world, now that the country and the world are gone, they will naturally consider their own family, and Li Rubing has no control over such choices."

Xue Rengui and the others nodded when they heard the words. What Changsun Wuji said made sense. After all, not everyone is a saint. If Jinyang City had not been captured by Deng Jun, maybe they would continue to fight with Deng Jun, but Now that Zhao Guojun and his ministers have voluntarily surrendered in Kaesong, they have no reason to die for Zhao Guo.

"Mr. Changsun's words are reasonable. Since that's the case, I would like to trouble Mr. Changsun to go to Li Rubing's camp in person, and show affection and reason to the generals of Zhao Jun." Xue Rengui said.

"Here!" Changsun Wuji replied.

At the same time, in the Zhao Jun camp not far away, Li Rubing held the decree sent by the Queen Mother Meng and remained silent for a long time. He did not expect that Zhao Guo, who had been loyal to Zhao Guo all his life, would just disappear. How long?Only five months, in just five months, Zhao Guo, which was sitting on the land of Hebei and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, disappeared like this. It was shorter than Qin Guo's persistence. The powerful Zhao State of Qin only persisted for five months.

"General, the Empress Dowager ordered us to surrender to Deng Jun. What should we do now?" Ever since the news of Jinyang City's surrender came, everyone in Zhao Jun had different opinions. Everyone had their own ideas, but However, Li Rubing has not stated his position, and now that the Queen Mother Regent has come, it is time to make a decision. As Li Rubing's confidant general, Le Ting took the initiative to ask Li Rubing's plan.

Li Rubing looked around, looked at the generals under his command, and knew that the surrender of Jinyang City made them lose their morale to continue fighting with Deng Jun. In fact, they can't be blamed. It's not that they don't want to fight, but that Zhao Guo is gone. Who are they fighting for?

"What's your idea?" Li Rubing asked back. Li Rubing didn't want to surrender in his heart, but now that Zhao Guo is gone, he also has to think about the people under him. The chief general of the first army cannot make decisions for them at will.

"The last general listens to the general. We will do what the general says!" Le Ting firmly supported Li Rubing, and Le Ting did not want to surrender. After all, too many members of their Le family died at the hands of Deng Jun. Here, there is blood feud between Le Ting and Deng Guo.

But Le Ting thinks so, it doesn't mean everyone thinks so, except for Le Ting, although the others didn't speak, but the expressions in their eyes all hope that Li Rubing can adapt to the current situation and don't do unnecessary things struggled.

Seeing this, Li Rubing sighed deeply. At this moment, the guards came in to report: "General, the envoy of Deng Jun is asking to see you outside the camp!"

Deng Jun's men came, really fast, Li Rubing nodded and said, "Let him in!"

"Here!" The guard replied.

After a while, Changsun Wuji, led by the guards, entered the large tent of the Chinese army. When he saw Li Rubing on the main seat, Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "See you, Sun Wuji, the counselor of the Great Deng Military Plane Department and the commander of the Spirit Snake Guards." Pass General Lee!"

"Mr. Changsun is exempt!" Li Rubing said, "I don't know why Mr. Changsun came here today?"

Having dealt with Deng Jun for so many years, Li Rubing also has a certain understanding of Deng's military system. There are a total of twenty guards in Deng's country, which are under the control of the general's governor's mansion, but each guard has a military division. The military division is the number two figure in the army, and it is not under the control of the general's capital, but under the jurisdiction of the military aircraft department.

Changsun Wuji said: "General Li and the other generals must have known about Jinyang? The imperial decree of the Queen Mother Zhao's Regent has also been in the hands of General Li. I came here today to ask General Li what he thinks." of?"

Li Rubing said with a blank face: "Mr. Changsun, you should be clear that the general is out, and the military orders are not accepted. Although the Queen Mother ordered the general to surrender, the general may not listen."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's natural. General Li, as the great general of the Zhao State, holds a heavy army, and with General Li's prestige, if General Li insists on confronting our army, the soldiers and horses from all over the Zhao State will surely be defeated." There are not a few who responded, but I would like to ask General Li, what is the point of doing this?"

Hearing this, Li Rubing fell silent immediately. This is the problem. It is easy for Li Rubing to continue fighting, but the question is, what is the point of continuing fighting?Zhao Guodu is gone, who are they fighting for?

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji continued: "The king and ministers of the state of Zhao have already surrendered to my great Deng, and the courtiers of the royal family of the state of Zhao are all on their way to Luoyang. If they retreat ten thousand steps, even if General Li can lead his army out of the siege, in the future So what? Could it be that General Li wants to make himself king?"

"Nonsense!" Li Rubing said angrily when he heard the words, "This general is loyal to Da Zhao, how could he be like that?"

"Hehe!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Of course I know that General Li is not such a person, that's why I asked General Xue to come here. I just hope that General Li can listen carefully to what I say next. Those who know the current affairs are heroes." , even if General Li doesn't think about himself, he should think about his soldiers, their families are all in Jinyang City!"

boom!As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, everyone present turned pale with shock, Changsun Wuji was threatening them!
"Changsun Wuji, are you threatening us? You have to know, where is this place? Believe it or not, I won't let you get out of this big account!" Le Ting shouted loudly.

Faced with Le Ting's threat, Changsun Wuji said disdainfully: "Of course I believe it, but there is one thing I believe more firmly, that is, if I can't get out of your army's camp today, then the family members of the generals in Jinyang City will be killed." I will go to Huangquan together with my eldest grandson Wuji!"

"You still dare to speak out loud, I'll kill you right now!" Le Ting was furious, drew out the sword around his waist, and was about to slash at Changsun Wuji. Said: "General Le, don't be impulsive!"

"Okay!" Li Rubing stopped Le Ting, and then said to Changsun Wuji: "Mr. Changsun, this is a big matter, and I need to think about it. You go back first. Within three days, I will be on my own." I will give you an answer."

Changsun Wuji said: "Okay, since General Li has said so, then we will wait for General Li for three days. After three days, I hope General Li can make a wise choice and leave first!"

After Changsun Wuji left, Li Rubing said to everyone: "Le Ting stay here, the others go down first!"

After everyone left, Li Rubing asked Le Ting: "Le Ting, what do you think I will do?"

Le Ting bowed his head and said nothing, Li Rubing smiled and said: "This general knows that you don't want to surrender, so why not this general? But now it's not my turn to decide. In the hands of the army, even if this general is a general, it is impossible to influence their thoughts, and from their eyes just now, this general can see that they don't want to fight anymore."

"General!" Le Ting raised his head and was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Rubing.

I saw Li Rubing said: "Le Ting, I will know that too many people in your Le family died at the hands of Deng Jun. You have a blood feud with Deng Guo, but what I want to say is that everyone has to look forward. , Great Zhao is dead, so what if you are unwilling to do so? The unification of the Deng Kingdom has been achieved, and even if we resist, it will be futile in the end."

"General, the general understands, please rest assured, the general knows how to measure, if there is nothing wrong, then the general will resign first!" Le Ting understood that Li Rubing had already decided to surrender in his heart. Say no more.

Looking at the back of Le Ting leaving, Li Rubing murmured: "Le Ting, don't blame this general. This general is also helpless. I can't let 10,000+ soldiers blood stain the battlefield just for you. Besides, this general is also for you." OK!"

After Changsun Wuji returned to Deng Jun's camp, he reported Li Rubing's intentions to Xue Rengui, and when he learned that Li Rubing would need three days, Xue Rengui didn't say anything, but asked, "Military Master Changsun, do you think Li Rubing will surrender? "

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Yes, I can see that Li Rubing has been shaken, and the generals of the Zhao army don't want to fight anymore. Even if Li Rubing doesn't want to surrender, those generals of the Zhao army will force Li Rubing to surrender. of."

"That's good!" Hearing this, Xue Rengui heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good. If that's the case, I'll give Li Rubing three days. We'll see each other in three days!"

It was night, in Zhao Jun's camp, and in the Chinese army's big tent, the lights were brightly lit. Li Rubing couldn't sleep all night. Sitting in the big tent, he looked at the sword in his hand. At that time, Zhao Xin gave it to him. At that time, Zhao Guo was so powerful and invincible. I didn't expect Zhao Guo to come to an end in less than 30 years. Even though Li Rubing was unwilling, he also helpless.

"General Zhao, the first emperor, Li Rubing is sorry for you, Da Zhao, I did not defend, today, for the sake of the future of the 10,000+ soldiers in the army, I had to do something that shamed my ancestors, please forgive me , in the future, Li Rubing will personally apologize to you!" Li Rubing murmured.

Three days later, the tenth year of Tiantong, on August [-]th, Xue Rengui led the army to the outside of Zhao Jun's camp. At this time, the gate of Zhao Jun's camp was closed, which made Deng Jun's generals frown .

"General, does this Li Rubing still want to resist?" Murong Ke who was on the side asked.

According to the original plan, they came today to accept the surrender, but judging from Zhao Jun's posture, it seemed that they had no intention of surrendering at all.

Xue Rengui also frowned, and said: "I don't know, but I think that Li Rubing is a smart person, and he won't see the situation clearly. Besides, even if Li Rubing wants to fight, the generals under him may not be sure." Those who are willing to fight with him, wait a little longer!"

"But when will we have to wait?" Murong Ke asked.

"After an hour, if Li Rubing still refuses to surrender after an hour, then we will attack Zhao Jun's camp!" Xue Rengui said.

At this time, Li Rubing and all the generals of the Zhao army gathered in the tent of the Chinese army. General Pei Sheng couldn't help asking: "General, Xue Rengui has led the army outside our camp. When will we wait?" ah?"

Li Rubing looked at the expressions of the crowd and realized that they couldn't bear it any longer, so he sighed and said, "Here's the order, the whole army will go out of the camp with this general, and surrender to Deng Jun!"

"Here!" Everyone responded.

An hour later, Xue Rengui hadn't seen Li Rubing coming out, and was impatient. Just as he was about to order an attack, the gate of the camp slowly opened.

Li Rubing led a group of generals of the Zhao army, walked out on foot, and came 12 steps away from Deng Jun. Li Rubing held the letter of surrender in his hand, bowed and said loudly: "According to the order of the Queen Mother Regent, Li Rubing led [-] soldiers in the army, Please surrender your army, please accept your army!"

Hearing this, Deng Jun's generals finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a happy ending.

Xue Rengui led a group of generals of the Deng army to get off their horses, walked up to Li Rubing, helped Li Rubing up, and said: "General Li is very happy to be able to think about the sake of the soldiers and understand righteousness. Xue Rengui, Generalissimo of the Duke of England, who defeated Zhao, on behalf of my Majesty, accept the letter of surrender from your army!"

Taking the letter of surrender from Li Rubing's hand, Xue Rengui held it high and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the war is over, we can go home!"

"Long live! Long live!" Hearing this, both Deng Jun and Zhao Jun cheered in unison. As the saying goes, a general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns after ten years. When he goes to the battlefield, no one knows whether he will come back alive. No one likes it. Fighting, but you have to fight, and now it is finally over, and you can go home and reunite with your family, which is the best result.

In the tenth year of Tiantong, on August [-]th, Xue Rengui surrendered Li Rubing, and the last Zhao army in Hebei gave up resistance.

After incorporating Li Rubing's army, Xue Rengui ordered Murong Ke to lead the army and send them to Liyang for custody, while he took Li Rubing and other generals of the Zhao army to Jinyang City. Although Li Rubing had surrendered, he did not It doesn't mean that the whole country of Zhao has surrendered, so Xue Rengui must go to Jinyang City to preside over the overall situation. In addition, he also needs to use Li Rubing to subdue all the Zhao troops in the northern border.

At this time, the land that has not yet been controlled by Deng Jun, only the four counties of Liaodong that are left alone and controlled by the Gongsun family.
