The Chu army retreated, and Yan Liang rode his horse back straight to the imperial tent.
After returning the tent, Yan Liang summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of breaking the iron gate.
After discussion, everyone's suggestions were nothing more than a strong attack on the wall, and the 200,000 troops razed the Tiegang Wall to the ground.
Yan Liang did not rush to order the attack on the city, but asked who the garrison in Tiegangbi was.
After the ministers answered, Yan Liang realized that the general who was guarding the city turned out to be Taishi Ci.
When Taishi Ci mentioned, many distant memories gradually emerged in my mind.
It seemed like it had been a long time ago to pacify Jiangdong, destroy the Sun family, and kill Zhou Yu. Since Lu Su was killed by Guan Yu, Taishi Ci has become the only existence in Jiangdong.
Back then, Liu Bei and Taishi Ci worked together to save Beihai. It was precisely because of that old friend that Taishi Ci defected to Liu Bei after Zhou Yu died.
However, Liu Bei did not seem to trust Taishi Ci very much, otherwise he would not have sent Zhuge Jun to join the army to "assist" him.
After pondering for a while, Yan Liang had an idea in his heart, so he smiled and said, "No need to rush to attack for the time being, I have other plans."
So Yan Liang called Zhou Cang and whispered a few words.
In a blink of an eye, it was a few days later.
On the evening of that day, Yan Liang was reviewing the memorial in the imperial tent. Zhou Cang lifted the curtain and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Grand Historian Xiang has been brought here and is waiting for him to see him outside the tent."
"Come in." Yan Liang didn't raise his head.
After a while, a young general walked into the tent tremblingly. As soon as he entered, he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Long live."
Yan Liang looked up at him and smiled and said, "Tai Shixiang, I haven't seen you for many years. You seem to have gained much weight than when I saw you."
When Wei Yan captured Tai Shi Xiang, Yan Liang personally summoned him. With Yan Liang's super memory, he naturally remembered his appearance at that time.
Over the years, Yan Liang has been ordering house arrest for Tai Shixiang and his family to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. Tai Shixiang does nothing all day long, except eating and sleeping, and it is normal for them to gain weight.
"I have received good treatment from Your Majesty, and I have no worries about food and clothing. That's why I have grown a lot of meat." Tai Shi Xiang hurriedly thanked Yan Liang.
Yan Liang smiled slightly and stroked his hand to signal him to sit in.
Tai Shixiang knelt tightly on the side, not daring to make a sound, looking worried and scared.
"Tai Shixiang, do you know what I have brought you from Luoyang this time? " Yan Liang asked.
"Forgive me for being ignorant, but I don't know." Tai Shixiang said hurriedly.
Yan Liang raised his hand and pointed to the north, "The iron gate wall several miles away blocked the road to the north of my army, and the guard of the wall was your father Taishici. This is what I called you to come.
The reason.”
Tai Shixiang's figure was shocked. A look of fear flashed in his eyes, and some of the guesses in his heart in advance came true.
Tai Shixiang's thoughts flew around and suddenly realized. He hurriedly said, "I know that Your Majesty must have called me to persuade me to surrender my father."
"Boy is quite smart." Yan Liang smiled, "No. I admire Taishi Ci's courage and character very much. I have summoned you to come this time. I just want to use your mouth to surrender your father."
Taishi Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart finally fell.
Although Tai Shixiang has been under house arrest, he still knows about Guan Yu shooting Guan Ping after some information outside.
There are some precedents here. Tai Shixiang is afraid that Yan Liang will imitate the past and tied him up to attack Tiegangbi where his father was guarding. Tai Shixiang cannot guarantee that his father's closeness to Mo Hei, will he learn from Guan Yu?
Let's kill relatives for justice.
Fortunately, the emperor just wanted him to surrender his father.
"I will immediately write a letter to my father, telling him the interests of the secrets and the Ming Dynasty, and advise him to abandon the secrets and turn to the Ming Dynasty, surrender to the Great Chu, and surrender to Your Majesty." Tai Shixiang quickly agreed.
Yan Liang shook his head, "I didn't ask you to write some book reviews."
Don't write a book review?
How could my father persuade him to surrender if he didn’t write a book? How could my father know that I was trying to surrender if he didn’t write a book?
Tai Shixiang was stunned, not knowing what Yan Liang said.
Yan Liang said slowly, "I have summoned you to ask you to go to Tiegangbi in person and say to surrender your father in person."
After hearing this, Tai Shixiang was shocked and was immediately shocked.
Tai Shixiang never expected that Yan Liang would trust him so much and would let him go to the Han camp, but he was not afraid that he would take this opportunity to go and not return, and take the opportunity to defect to the Han country.
How could Tai Shixiang escape Yan Liang's eyes when he was shocking?
"Tai Shixiang, are you thinking in your heart, why do I dare to let you go? Are you not afraid of you taking the opportunity to escape?"
"I..." Tai Shixiang hesitated for a moment, "I am sorry for my words, I am indeed a little confused."
Yan Liang sneered, "The reason why I want to surrender Taishici is not because I can't capture this iron gate, but because I admire Taishici. If you dare to have a different intention, I will just kill and injured a few more soldiers. At that time
Once the iron gate wall is broken, it will be the day when your father and son are destroyed.”
Yan Liang didn't pretend to be hypocritical and bribed people's hearts. He told Tai Shixiang directly, "I'm not afraid of you having any unfaithful intentions. If you want to take the opportunity to defect, just try it."
Tai Shixiang was shocked, and a chill passed by. The original remnant thought of "defection" threatened Yan Liang in a blink of an eye, which scared the smoke and clouds disappeared.
He quickly realized the reality that defection was a dead end. Only by saying that he surrendered to Taishici could his father and son have a way out.
At that moment, Tai Shixiang kowtowed in a hurry and said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never dare to have two hearts. I will do my best to surrender my father."
Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go to have supper first, rest for a while and go to Tiegangbi."
Tai Shixiang is busy and thanks and leaves.
Not knowing it was getting late, after a dinner in the camp that was chewed with wax, Tai Shixiang, who was worried, took Yan Liang's handwriting and left the camp. He rode his horse straight to the iron gate in the moonlight.
At this time, Taishi Ci in the military tent was drinking alone.
A few days ago, the scene of Zhuge Jun killing his subordinates on the wall was constantly emerging in his mind. When Taishi Ci thought of this, he felt angry.
"Yellow-haired boy, if it weren't for your brother's nepotism that the prime minister was, you'd be a good boy, how could you be my Taishi Ci's military supervisor?" After a glass of wine, Taishi Ci cursed unfairly.
Just then, the curtain was raised, and a personal soldier hurried in, and said with surprise: "Report to General, a person outside the wall claims to be a major general, and wants to enter the wall to meet the general."
Major General?
Taishi Ci was confused for a moment, and his body suddenly shook. Just as he came over to see who the "major general" was referring to as the "major general" in his personal soldiers.
The major general was naturally his son Tai Shixiang.
Taishici was extremely surprised and jumped up and shouted, "Did you see clearly? Is that really Xiang'er?"
"You can't make a mistake. I've been following the general for many years, how could I admit that I'm wrong with the major general?"
Taishi Ci became more happy, but shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you let the Major General enter the wall quickly and let him come to see me."
The personal army was embarrassed: "I also thought about it, but the brothers on the city were afraid that the military supervisor would be punished. Without the general's order, they would not dare to let the major general enter the city without authorization."
Taishi Ci frowned and felt a little disgusted with Zhuge Jun again.
He didn't think much about it, so he immediately left the tent and went to the wall himself.
Taishici climbed up to the wall and looked down under the flames and the moonlight, but saw the young man standing by the trench, not his son Taishixiang. Who else could it be?
The ecstatic Taishi Ci immediately ordered the wall door to be opened and Taishixiang came in.
The wall door was wide open and the suspension bridge was lowered. Taishixiang rode his horse in. Before he could get started, Taishici had already come down to welcome him there.
Seeing his father, Tai Shixiang was also very excited. He got off the horse, bowed in front of him, and choked and said, "I am an unfilial son, pay my respects to my father."
Taishici quickly helped his son up and looked at him up and down, feeling relieved and excited.
After hearing that Tai Shixiang was captured, Tai Shici wanted to break up, so he thought that Yan Liang's cruelty would probably be killed. Even if Yan Liang did not kill Tai Shixiang, his father and his two fathers would never have a chance to see each other again in their lives.
But I didn't expect that now Tai Shixiang is standing in front of me, and her glorious appearance looks very comfortable and has not suffered any pain.
Looking at his fat son, Taishi Ci was happy, and suddenly realized something again and asked, "Xian'er, aren't you captured by Yan Liang? How could you come to Tiegangbi safely now?"
"Father, this is not a place to speak. Can you change the place?" Tai Shixiang said in a low voice.
Taishi Ci had guessed a few points in his heart. Thinking that there was a military supervisor Zhuge Jun in the wall, Taishi Ci stopped talking and just took his son back to his military tent and ordered the soldiers on duty.
Disclose this matter.
He went to the military tent, and they all left and left, leaving only his father and son in the big tent.
"Xian'er, please explain to your father, how did you escape here?" Taishici asked impatiently.
Tai Shixiang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Father, my son did not escape here, but was ordered by the Emperor of Great Chu to persuade his father to surrender."
Although Taishici had already guessed, when his son told the truth in person, Taishici couldn't help but feel shocked, and his originally relieved expression also sank.
After a moment of silence, Taishi Ci said: "Yan Liang killed Sun Zhongmou and forced Zhou Gongjin to death. He had an irreconcilable hatred with him for his father. How could you surrender to him if you call him "?"
"Sun Zhongmou was suspicious of his subordinates and forced Zhou Yu away. He was self-destructive and was not worthy of regret. As for Zhou Yu, from the moment he betrayed the Sun family and defected to Liu Bei, he had no relationship with his father. On the contrary, the Emperor of Chu,
After he took Jiangdong, he always treated our Taishi family well. His father said with his conscience that the Emperor of Great Chu really had an irreconcilable grudge with his father?"
His son's comments and those remarks made Taishi Ci fall into deep thought.
I think that the reason why Taishi Ci was a minister in Jiangdong was originally just thinking about his love for Sun Ce. In his heart, the only real lord was Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce died of illness, he wanted to be the leader of Sun Shao, but he did not expect that before Sun Ce died, he made Sun Quan the lord of Jiangdong.
Seeing Sun Quan surveillance and Sun Shao, how could Taishi Ci not have any resentment?
Now that Sun Quan is dead, Sun Ce's son Sun Shao is treated well by Yan Liang.
Not only that, Yan Liang also treated his son well and his family with Taishi.
After a long silence, Taishi Ci sighed: "Yes, Yan Liang and his father do not have irreconcilable enemies."
