Chapter 426 A good minister chooses his master and serves him. The Shu army attacks Hangu Pass and surprises Wuguan Pass!
As Xiliang warrior Wang Huan was killed by Yang Li, and Wang Wende was captured alive by Lu Li, the battle ended with the Shu army's complete victory!
Just as Fan Kuai, Liu Bang, Hu Li, Lu Li, and Leng Bao were organizing their soldiers to clean up the battlefield, they saw General Yang Li standing alone in the center of the battlefield.
The mahogany sword with a goat's horn was flying up and down, and the sword dance was as graceful as a giant, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Ding! It has been detected that Great Immortal Yangli had a deep understanding in the battle with Wang Huan. The bottleneck of martial arts was broken through. The basic force value is permanently increased by 1 point. The current basic force value of Great Immortal Yangli is increased to 103."
Sheep Power Great Immortal has been sitting on a basic force value of 102 for a long time. Now when the opportunity comes, the force value will be permanently improved.
"General Yang Li's strength is indeed a blessing for our Shu Army!"
"Report! Our army just clashed with the Xiliang army. General Lu Li captured alive a powerful enemy soldier on the battlefield. He is now at your disposal, my lord."
Liu Bang was full of praise for Yang Li. It happened that the Shu soldiers came forward to report the results of the battle. After Liu Bang learned that General Lu Li had captured the Xiliang warrior Wang Wende, he smiled happily and immediately went to persuade Wang Wende to surrender.
After military counselor Chen Ping heard the news that Liu Bang was going to persuade Xiliang general Wang Wende to surrender, he couldn't help but smile and lost his composure! The main reason why Chen Ping was like this was because he didn't think Liu Bang could successfully recruit Xiliang general Wang Wende into his army.
.
Why do you think so? There are three reasons:
First, Wang Wende is a native of Xiliang, and his reputation in Xiliang is quite high. If he chooses to surrender to the Shu army to save his life, he will definitely be spurned by his hometown and colleagues in the future.
For a proud military general, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him and taking his life!
Secondly, Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo had the kindness to know and support Wang Wende. Even if Wang Wende died, he would not choose to betray his lord.
Thirdly, Wang Wende is now over forty years old, has two sons and one daughter, his wife is pregnant, and the whole family has settled in Wuwei County, Xiliang. If he chooses to save his own life and surrender to Shu
Army, then his family, even if they are not executed by the whole family, will definitely not be able to live a secure life in the future.
To sum up, military advisor Chen Ping does not think Wang Wende will surrender to the Shu army!
"General Fan Kuai, would you like to come with me to see Wang Wende, the brave general of Xiliang whom my lord is trying to persuade to surrender?"
Fan Kuai had nothing to do, so when he saw the military advisor taking the initiative to invite him, he happily agreed, and then followed Chen Ping to the military tent where the prisoners were guarded.
The group of people quickly entered the prisoner's military tent. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the lord Liu Bang standing at the door of a cell with a livid face. According to Chen Ping, Liu Bang's attempt to persuade him to surrender was probably a failure.
When Liu Bang saw that military advisor Chen Ping and his favorite general Fan Kuai had also arrived at the tent, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and his originally livid face turned slightly rosy. He shook his head helplessly and said to Chen Ping
Said: "I can tell you, this guy just doesn't want to surrender to our army. Does the military counselor have any clever tricks to make him willing to be driven by me?"
Seeing that Liu Bang still refused to give up, military counselor Chen Ping couldn't help but hide his face and chuckle, then waved his wide sleeves and replied: "Wang Wende is a famous general in Xiliang. His family, including young and old, settled in Wuwei County, Xiliang.
If he chooses to surrender to our Shu army, how will Thief Dong and Wang Mang treat his family?"
Military advisor Chen Ping reminded Liu Bang!
Liu Bang sighed regretfully, and then looked at Wang Wende who was chained inside through the bars of the cell, and he couldn't help but feel a sad feeling in his heart.
"General Wang Wende, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. Don't you think about it anymore? As long as you are willing to surrender to our Shu army, then I will send your family and children to Wuwei County.
Take it over and let you meet again in Shu."
Wang Wende, who was chained in the cell, heard Liu Bang mentioning his family. He couldn't help but froze in a daze. Then he saw his face burst into tears, and with a pop, he knelt on the ground, and then he bowed heavily.
He kowtowed in the direction of Liu Bang and Chen Ping.
"Dong Gong and the head of the family (Wang Mang) have treated me well. Only by dying can I repay the kindness of knowing you. I also ask the general to make me die quickly!"
Publicly and privately, Wang Wende could not choose to surrender to the Shu army. At this time, he had a death wish. Even if someone in front of him made lavish words to persuade him to surrender, he remained indifferent.
"In that case, then follow General Wang Wende's wish! I hope that in the next life, the general will not be the enemy of our Shu army again..."
"Thank you, General Liu Bang, for giving me death!"
Liu Bang glanced at Wang Wende regretfully, and then waved his hand, signaling his confidant Fan Kuai to escort Wang Wende to the execution ground.
"I will obey my orders!"
Fan Kuai understood that when he ordered the soldiers to open the door of the cell, he would personally escort Wang Wende to the execution ground. Just as Fan Kuai entered the cell, Xiliang warrior Wang Wende looked up to the sky and laughed, even laughing to the point of tears, and saw him
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his sharp eyes were filled with determination to die. He straightened his back, held his head high, and allowed Fan Kuai to escort him to the execution ground!
At three quarters of noon, the sharp decapitated knife fell violently, and a stream of scarlet blood shot out. At this point, Wang Wende, the warrior of Xiliang and one of the ten envoys of Water Margin, the "Night Wandering God", died!
Wang Wende's death was just an episode in the Shu army's journey. Now the Shu army is approaching Hangu Pass. The successive battles have caused Liu Bang and the others to lose the advantage of being overt and covert. The next battle will probably be worse than the previous ones.
Each time it was more cruel and tragic.
"Master Military Advisor, what is our next strategic route? Should we continue to test the strength of Hangu Pass, or should we directly lead the army to attack Wuguan?"
In Liu Bang's inner thoughts, he prefers to directly lead the army to attack Hangu Pass. After all, once they defeat Hangu Pass (which is equivalent to directly demolishing the west gate of Sili), they can then lead the army to directly attack Hangu Pass.
Dao Huanglong, march to the capital of Luoyang in the shortest possible time, and rescue the emperor and all the civil and military officials!
"Otherwise, your lord can send Guan Ying, Lei Tong, Peng Yue, Lu Wan and other generals with 10,000 soldiers to attack Wuguan. Take Wuguan first and leave a way out for us. As for the other generals, you can follow
My lord, let’s attack Hangu Pass together, and it’s not too late for our Shu army to find out the strength of Hangu Pass before continuing with the next strategic deployment!”
Liu Bang immediately adopted the idea of military advisor Chen Ping, and immediately saw that he summoned Guan Ying and other generals and ordered them to lead the army to capture Wuguan!
"Give me the order to send troops to Guguan!"
Following Liu Bang's order, the Shu army started to move like a torrent of steel and slowly moved towards Hangu Pass in the north.
