"Qin Xiao, your method of bribing spies is indeed impressive." Huangfu Yunzhao sighed: "I was careless and negligent, and I trusted an unworthy person to allow you to succeed. Otherwise, you would have never been able to capture Shunjincheng."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "You are wrong. Your failure was not due to my calculations, but because the Liaodong Army was terminally ill and reached a dead end. Captain Cui only had a clear understanding of right and wrong, and that was why he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
"Now that things have come to an end, there is no need to talk nonsense." Huangfu Yunzhao clenched his knife, "The real Liaodong Army will never surrender."
Qin Xiao didn't say much. He just raised his hand, and a man came up from behind. He held a flagpole and waved it. The flag fluttered in the night wind, but it was the battle flag given by the saint.
"You have all seen it." Qin Xiao's voice suddenly rose, full of energy, and spread throughout the long street, "This is the dragon battle flag given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which represents the Tang Dynasty. If you give it to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,
Waving the sword and firing arrows with the war flag is pointing the sword at the Tang Dynasty. Before, it may be said that you were deceived, but now that the imperial war flag is here, and you still have to fight against the emperor's army, it can only be a rebellion."
The flag was fluttering, and everyone looked at the battle flag, and the hand holding the weapon couldn't help but loosen.
"This general is ordered to quell the rebellion and only kill the first culprits." Qin Xiao said coldly: "If you return from your lost way and put down your weapons and obey the imperial decree, I can guarantee that you will never be implicated in the slightest. Otherwise...
Even if you die in battle here, you can only throw your bodies into the wilderness in the name of rebels and be infamy for thousands of years." He slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, stared at Huangfu Yunzhao, and said sternly: "Where to go, you make your own choice."
The archers on the roofs on both sides had their bowstrings fully drawn, and when Qin Xiao gave the order, they immediately released their arrows.
The Liaodong soldiers looked at each other.
Everyone knows that they are in a desperate situation. As long as they resist at this time, the opponent will surely fire thousands of arrows and in the end, I am afraid that not many people will survive.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Everyone looked around and saw a large number of cavalry appearing on the east side of the street. Looking at the uniforms of the cavalry, they knew they were prairie cavalry.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the west. However, many real feather cavalry detoured to the west and outflanked them from the West Street.
Originally there were archers on the roof, and the Liaodong soldiers were already in a desperate situation. At this moment, a large number of real feather cavalry came out on both sides of the long street, completely blocking the road. The Liaodong soldiers were shocked, knowing that they had really stepped into a hole with nowhere to escape.
trap.
Huangfu Yunzhao also changed his color.
Naturally, he knew in his heart that if a fight broke out, all the thousands of soldiers under his command would be wiped out.
But he was really unwilling to let him put down his weapons, let alone dare to do so.
His family members are all in Liaodong. Failure to defend Shunjin City is already a serious crime. If he surrenders to Qin Xiao, his people will definitely be in disaster.
"General Huangfu, maybe you haven't received the news yet." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Just a few days ago, twenty-three people in your house disappeared overnight. Wang Xingchao probably hasn't told you about this yet.
.”
Huangfu Yunzhao was surprised and said, "What did you say?"
"I won't hide it from you. Captain Cui protects the court and cooperates with our army to enter the city. Before that, in order to ensure the safety of his family, we have secretly sent people to secretly transfer his family members from Liaoyang City." Qin Xiao said:
"At the time of the transfer, all the young and old in your mansion were also transferred out of Liaoyang City."
"You...!" Huangfu Yunzhao said in horror: "Impossible, you...how could you do it?"
Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "This plan did waste a lot of effort and took a lot of manpower."
"Qin Xiao, do you really think that I am a three-year-old child and let you deceive me?" Huangfu Yunzhao laughed strangely and said: "How can my family members leave with you so easily? Moreover, Liaoyang City is heavily guarded, and a group of people want to leave from Liaoyang.
Do you think it is that easy to leave the city?"
"Of course it's not easy." Qin Xiao said: "It is really difficult to persuade your family members to leave, so I can only put some drugs in the food to make people unconscious for a short period of time. You naturally know that expensive
The monthly income of the cooks in the house is not much, so it is not difficult to bribe two cooks. But don't worry, the medicine will not harm your family, it can only ensure that they will sleep comfortably before leaving the city."
"It's simply despicable." Huangfu Yunzhao was shocked and angry, and said sternly: "Qin Xiao, you actually resorted to such despicable means. The city gate is heavily guarded, how can they get out?" But when asked, it seemed that
Realizing something, his face became even more solemn.
"If you can bribe a cook, how can you not bribe a mere captain of the city gate?" Qin Xiao sighed: "What goes up is what follows. The generals of the Liaodong Army are all greedy. A captain can earn more money in one night than he can in a lifetime, and what's more,
How could you be disobedient? Moreover, the captain took his family and flew away the next day, and you will definitely never see him again in your life."
Huangfu Yunzhao clenched a fist with one hand, and his veins popped out.
"If it were someone else, we wouldn't have spent manpower and material resources to do this." Qin Xiao sighed and said, "It's just that I heard that General Huangfu is a decent man, and he still has family and country in his heart, so I don't want to see you doing it for
The Wang Xing Chao Nagan people have been infamy for thousands of years. The Huangfu family has been loyal for generations, and generations of people have made great military exploits for the country. It would be a pity if the name of rebellion is left behind, so I want to give the general a chance."
Huangfu Yunzhao sneered and said: "I have been so favored by the general. Even if your family is taken hostage, I will not bend my knees and beg for mercy." He raised his arm and before he could swing his sword, someone nearby shouted: "General, wait a minute!
"
Huangfu Yunzhao was startled, and the man knelt down and said: "General, if you want to fight to the end, the humble general must follow the general to live and die together. But if the general wields his sword against the imperial flag now, it will really be rebellion."
The three generations of the humble general have been members of the Huangfu family. I don’t want to see the Huangfu family’s loyalty and reputation damaged, so I beg the general to think again.”
As soon as this man finished speaking, another person knelt down and said: "General, I am also a member of the Huangfu family for three generations. In one word, general, I will go up to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire without any hesitation. But if the general is...
Da... Wang Xingchao rebelled against the imperial court and left a bad reputation, which the humble generals thought was not worth it. Over the years, Wang Xingchao has been guarding the general and promoting other forces to check and balance the general. Doesn't the general know?"
"General, what we have today is not given by Wang Xingchao, but by our ancestors who fought with swords and guns and shed blood. What does it have to do with Wang Xingchao?" Someone else knelt down and said: "The whole world knows that Wang Xingchao supports his troops and respects himself.
We are the only ones who know clearly but pretend to be ignorant. Now, if we wave our swords at the imperial flag, what will our descendants do?"
"General, please think twice!" For a moment, more than a dozen people knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
Huangfu Yunzhao glanced at everyone, his eyes twitched, and finally said: "Do you want me to betray the general?"
"Although we are subordinates of the general, we are also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." Someone said: "Before loyal to the general, we must first be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
The others looked at each other and then said in unison: "Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"
Qin Xiao saw this and said loudly: "General Huangfu, you have also seen that in fact everyone knows in their hearts what is right and wrong and what is loyalty. You are a dignified man, can't you even tell the difference between right and wrong?"
Huangfu Yunzhao looked up at Qin Xiao with a hesitant expression.
But suddenly he saw Qin Xiao spread his arms and floated down from the roof to the long street like an eagle. The officers and soldiers of Long Rui Army were all surprised when they saw it. Cui Bo even exclaimed: "General...
..!”
Not only the officers and soldiers of Long Rui's army were shocked, but the Liaodong soldiers were also shocked.
Qin Xiao put his hand on the handle of his sword and walked slowly towards Huangfu Yunzhao.
The Liaodong soldiers were surprised, but they couldn't help but part ways. Although Qin Xiao was close at this moment, and everyone could rush forward, no one dared to act rashly.
Qin Xiao walked until he was three steps in front of Huangfu Yunzhao before he stopped. Although there were thousands of people around him, he was calm and composed.
"Qin Xiao, you are really brave." Huangfu Yunzhao was also shocked, but he said calmly: "The commander of an army dares to enter the battle alone. Don't you think you are extremely stupid? I can capture you now."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I am willing to use my stupidity to express my sincerity. If everything goes well, the general will be able to see your family within three days." He raised his hand and said: "The general knows that I, the Tang Dynasty
Surrounded by powerful enemies, it is now the time for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to protect their homes and country. If the general is willing, I hope to protect the country side by side with him. What do you think, general?"

Although Huangfu Yunzhao said that Qin Xiao was stupid, he had to marvel at Qin Xiao's courage.
Seeing Qin Xiao reaching out to him, his star-like eyes looking at him without any hostility, Huangfu Yunzhao's eyes twitched and he lowered his head, thoughtfully.
"General!" someone around shouted.
Others also said: "General!"
Everyone looked at Huangfu Yunzhao with expectation.
Huangfu Yunzhao raised his head and glanced around, then looked up at the sky. After a long time, he turned over and dismounted, took a big knife in his hand, took two steps forward, stared at Qin Xiao for a moment, then took a step forward again, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands,
Holding the saber horizontally, "The guilty general Huangfu Yunzhao is willing to be punished by the general!"
When Qin Xiao saw this, he immediately stepped forward, helped Huangfu Yunzhao up, and said with a smile: "The general understands the righteousness, and I am not wrong about the person. It will be a blessing in life to be able to join hands with the general to protect the country in the future."
"Huangfu Yunzhao swears allegiance to the Tang Dynasty and is willing to follow the general to protect his family and country!"
Seeing Huangfu Yunzhao's surrender, the Liaodong soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them showed joy.
"I haven't met the general yet!" Huangfu Yunzhao said solemnly.
His voice was loud and loud, and when the soldiers around him heard it, they all fell to their knees and said in unison: "Greetings to the general!"
Under the night, Qin Xiao stood among the crowd, like a god.
