"Master Du, let me lead three thousand soldiers to fight against Xu Hu today." Holding the halberd that he had brought all the way from Jiangdu to Lingnan, and patting the horse under his crotch, Xue Rengui ordered the three thousand soldiers. Diao came out of the military tent and just went for a formality today. He kept Meng Xinghe's instructions in mind, and he must make Xu Hu's surrender known to the whole city, and Yang Xuangan could not wait to do it.
Xu Hu had long been prepared to surrender. Even if Yang Xuangan placed sentries here to monitor, at best they could only detect enemies coming to attack. He definitely didn't know that this was actually just a deception trick played by Xu Hu and Meng Xinghe. Yang Xuangan was so cunning and cunning that he didn't expect that his men were already trying to undermine him.
Three thousand soldiers marched vigorously towards the place where Xu Hu was stationed. After they left, Meng Xinghe received a reply from Yang You not long after. There were not many words written in the letter, only one line, which was sensible and important. , Meng Xinghe felt happy after seeing it. He naturally understood the meaning of Yang You's words, that is, he was about to surrender, but he didn't know when or how he would surrender.
Focusing on Xue Rengui's side, Xue Rengui led three thousand soldiers and attacked the place where Xu Hu was stationed very quickly. This was the first time that Meng Xinghe and others counterattacked Yang Xuangan in such an open and honest manner, so before he Before the attack, Yang Xuangan received news that Meng Xinghe's generals were coming. He mocked himself and said that he was not overestimating his capabilities, and then passed on an oral order that Xu Hu must hold the position. At the same time, he also Let Yang You, who is on the side road, be on guard at all times and attack the army that dares to invade from both sides at any time.
The attack of three thousand soldiers was also quite large. Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, they rushed towards Xu Hu's military tent with great momentum. The momentum displayed by the entire army was so powerful that they could attack a city and seize territory.
With the momentum of a flood, seeing the fortification area directly in front of Xu Hu, Xue Rengui ordered the entire army to attack immediately. At this moment, Xu Hu's generals did not know what General Xu was waiting for, and stood motionless. From the commanding heights, we are looking down at the troops that have already attacked from the front. There is neither resistance nor any preparation for defense. Although the fortification is still strong, if the enemy attacks without preparation, it is a question whether it can be defended. .
"General Xu, something is not right ahead." Seeing the dust in front, the trampling of horse hooves, and the neighing noises everywhere, Xu Hu's men thought that the staff general thought he should remind his commander that the enemies were coming. Did he really plan not to If Yang Xuangan found out about his fighting attitude, none of them would be lenient. After all, Yang Xuangan had repeatedly warned him that he must surrender this invading enemy force.
Xu Hu stretched. He hadn't felt so comfortable at this moment for a long time. He sighed in his heart. This oppressive place in Lingnan was finally leaving. It would be best for Yang Xuangan to lose earlier. He could also take advantage of the opportunity to return to the Central Plains years ago. If you allow it, maybe you can go back to your hometown.
"Open the city gate and let the whole army greet General Xue," Xu Hu finally said these words that made Yang Xuangan vomit blood in anger.
"General, what are you doing?" The deputy general was still encouraged. This was true. After staying with Yang Xuangan for a long time, Xu Hu had become infected with his character, that is, he never trusted anyone.
"Don't you understand? Open the city gate to welcome General Xue's entry into the camp. From today on, I, Xu Hu, will never fight side by side with Yang Xuangan. Brothers, let's surrender and return to the Central Plains with General Meng." With an excited shout, in fact, the previous words can be ignored, except for the last sentence, the hometown of the soldier here is not in the Central Plains. When they heard that they could return to the Central Plains, they almost shed tears.
"Surrender, surrender, welcome General Xue's entry,"
At this moment, cheers resounded from Xu Hu's military camp, which showed how wise Xu Hu's surrender was in the eyes of the soldiers. They really did not want to fight, and their only idea was to return to the Central Plains.
At the same time, Yang You, who was retreating on the other side, took his more than 10,000 soldiers and personally came to General Lan's mansion where Meng Xinghe was located, and handed over a handwritten letter of surrender. Yang Xuangan arranged to guard the two groups separately. The two main forces on the left and right of the military tent had surrendered to Meng Xinghe almost at the same time. Now Yang Xuangan was fighting alone.
Xue Rengui led the soldiers into Xu Hu's military tent. Meng Xinghe had earlier ordered not to be arrogant and to be kind to the surrendered troops. Xue Rengui also understood. After entering the tent, he immediately announced several decrees promulgated by Meng Xinghe and promised that General Xu would now All the officers and officers under him will remain in their original positions. As soon as these orders for treating surrendered soldiers were promulgated, sounds of joyful singing and laughter could be heard outside the military tent. It was obvious that Xu Hu's soldiers were smiling happily because they could finally put aside their worries. Got up.
It didn't take long for the news of the surrender of the two armies to reach Yang Xuangan's ears. Yang Xuangan originally stood on the high platform in the army and looked at the battle at Xu Hu in the distance. He thought that he could dampen Meng Xinghe's spirit and let him down. The three thousand soldiers never came back, but things were not as he expected. When he heard all the reports from the soldiers sent to investigate the military situation, Yang Xuangan, who had been holding back his anger, finally moved his lips and clenched his fists. He slowly let go, and then, with an extremely abnormal attitude, he pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed the kneeling soldier in front of him to report the news.
Looking at the blood splashing, Yang Xuangan's eyes were as red as a ball of fire: "Come on, I didn't even frown when everyone betrayed me. Now how can I allow others to see my jokes, Yang Xuangan?" After speaking, in a short period of time, when the two generals he relied on most turned against each other, Yang Xuangan was not defeated but was energetic and determined to save the situation. He immediately returned to the military tent. Now the two armies on the left and right have surrendered. Since he, the backbone, was no longer protected along the way, it was inevitable that he would be attacked in one fell swoop. However, he acted decisively and immediately ordered the troops in the middle route to retreat to a few miles around the general's palace to build fortifications and wait for the border troops to come and increase their momentum. , by that time, he had already made up his mind that he could no longer delay preparing for a decisive battle with Meng Xinghe.
Yang Xuangan retreated, and the outcome was expected. He retreated decisively and without any hesitation. This shows that Yang Xuangan is indeed a lonely guy. Even when he lost two generals, he was able to retreat without any emotion. Let Meng Xinghe learn a sentence that is true for anyone who has the power of life and death, that is, those who achieve great things must be ruthless to themselves.
