Chapter 340
Jiang Lu walked around the gate of hell and came back. He couldn't react for a while. He took the two heads blankly, looked at the general for a while, then turned around and ran towards the bottom of the mountain, rolling and climbing.
"Sir, please slow down..." Looking at Ziying's running back, the general shook his head and smiled. He turned to look at the Peng soldiers brought out by the two Peng generals, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted: "What are you still doing here? Go back to the camp immediately! If you dare to disobey military orders, this is what will happen!" Jiang also deliberately kicked the headless corpse on the ground with his toes.
Wow - his shouting was very effective. As soon as he finished speaking, all the Peng soldiers had turned pale with fear and ran back to the camp.
Speaking of Jiang Lu, he ran down the mountain in a hurry and fell down countless times. His clothes were in tatters and his face was gray. He looked as if he had rolled down from the top of the mountain. After successfully returning to his camp, Jiang Lu's heart dropped to its original position.
The soldiers guarding the camp gate Tianyuan couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw Jiang Lu's appearance. When he left in the morning, he was well-dressed, but now he looked like a refugee fleeing a disaster. People were laughing in their hearts but didn't dare to show it on their faces. Before he could reach the camp gate, the soldiers gathered around him and asked in all directions: "Sir, you... what's wrong with you?"
"Oops..." Jiang Lu groaned in pain, feeling that there was no pain anywhere in his body. He waved his hands with difficulty and said, "Don't mention it, I almost didn't come back. Quick! Help me to see the adults!" "
"Yes!" The soldiers agreed and helped Jiang Lu. Seeing that he was still holding two bloody severed heads, they couldn't help but ask: "Sir, whose head is this...?"
After listening to the people's questions, Jiang Lu realized that he was still holding two heads in his hand. He screamed in fright and subconsciously threw them to the soldiers next to him. He took two deep breaths and said calmly: " If you don’t know anything, don’t ask, help me to see the adults!”
Jiang Lu was almost carried into the central military tent by the soldiers. Tang Yin and other generals had already heard the report from the soldiers and gathered in the Chinese military tent. When Jiang Lu was carried in, everyone looked at his miserable appearance and looked like they wanted to laugh but were embarrassed to do so.
Tang Yin unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and then frowned again. He first asked someone to move a chair and let Jiang Lu sit down. Then he leaned forward and asked in a solemn voice, "Mr. Jiang Lu, were you beaten like this by Peng Jun?"
"Yes! No, no, no! No! Oh... but it's almost the same!" Jiang Lu sat on a chair and breathed heavily.
After hearing his answer, Tang Yin's frown deepened. What is yes and no? Could this Jiang Lu be beaten stupid by Peng Jun? At this time, Tang Yin no longer had a smile on his face. He snorted coldly and said: "Peng Jun is indeed a stubborn old stubborn. It is useless to persuade them to surrender. They killed my envoy last time and humiliated me this time." My messenger, I will kill Ziying and leave no one behind!"
"Sir, the last general is willing to lead the troops into battle!" Following the words, Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Shangguan Yuanwu, Shangguan Yuanbiao and other generals came out one after another, stepped in to salute, and asked Ying to go into battle.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute!" Seeing that the generals were about to fight, Jiang Lu was startled and waved to everyone on the chair.
"What do you have to say, sir?" Wu Guang asked suspiciously.
Jiang Lu swallowed the foam and said with a dry smile: "Sir, can you give me some water to drink?"
Tang Yin almost became angry and waved to the guards on both sides. One of the guards took a large bowl of water and handed it to Jiang Lu. The latter drank it all in one gulp, then leaned back and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. At this time, he completely calmed down, and his triumphant expression was immediately revealed.
Everyone was staring at him with big eyes and small eyes, waiting for him to speak. After waiting for a while, Jiang Lu looked around Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Shangguan brothers and others, and said slowly: "The Peng army on Huya Mountain has 70,000 to 80,000 people, and there are countless people charging chariots and thrashing stones. If the generals attack by force, , is there any chance of winning?”
kindness? Everyone raised their eyebrows after hearing this. They couldn't understand what Jiang Lu meant. How could he increase the prestige of the enemy and destroy his own morale? Before anyone could speak, Jiang Lu looked up at Zhan Hu, the tallest and strongest man, waved to him, and said with a smile: "General Zhan Hu, come here and give me a hand!"
During this period of time, Zhan Hu has been studying Fengyu diligently. Although what he says is not very authentic, he can still understand what people are saying. Seeing Jiang Lu sitting on the chair and the old god asking him to help him, Zhan Hu frowned and glanced at Tang Yin, but still walked over and pulled Jiang Lu up from the chair.
Jiang Lu nodded with satisfaction, walked up to Tang Yin, bowed his hands, and said loudly: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, I have successfully persuaded the enemy general Ziying to surrender. Ziying is willing to lead his generals to surrender to our army!"
"Ah?" As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, including Tang Yin. Ziying accepted the persuasion to surrender and was willing to lead everyone to surrender. This is simply incredible. Tang Yin was surprised and happy. He looked at Jiang Lu with bright eyes and asked, "Sir, do you really mean what you said?"
Jiang Lu said seriously: "Even if I have the courage to talk about such a big thing, I would not dare to speak nonsense."
"Then sir, this body..."
"This is the work of an enemy general who is loyal to Zhong Tian!" Jiang Lu was indeed eloquent and eloquent. At this time, he recounted how he was chased by the commander of the Peng Army Corps and how he was rescued by a general under Ziying's command. Of course, there are inevitably some exaggerations in it, and the exaggerations are all used on himself. He said that he was calm in the face of danger and fearless in death.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
At the end, Jiang Lu picked up the two heads again and said, "These are the heads of the two Peng Army generals who were chasing me. Ziying presented these two heads as a meeting gift to the Lord, which also showed that he Determination to join our army!”
Tang Yin glanced at the two heads, his joyful mood calmed down, and he secretly wondered whether this matter was true or false. It's not that he doesn't believe Jiang Lu. With Jiang Lu's usual obscurity, if he hadn't gotten the job done, he would never have behaved so arrogantly. He even asked Zhan Hu to help him up, completely acting like a successful scholar and forgetting everything. , it was Ziying who he didn't believe, and wondered whether the other party was pretending to surrender.
Thinking silently in his heart, Tang Yin still looked excited and happy. He asked Jiang Lu with a smile: "Sir, in your opinion, is Ziying's acceptance of the persuasion to surrender true or false?"
Jiang Lu straightened her back, patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, Sir, from what I can see, Ziying must have really surrendered!" When Ziying said the word "submission", his face was distorted and deformed. It can't be an act.
His guarantee was not enough to convince Tang Yin. He turned to look at Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and other counselors with a smile, and asked, "What do you gentlemen think?"
Zhang Zhe said: "The Peng army on Huya Mountain is desperate. If we don't want the whole army to be annihilated, the only way is to surrender. Ziying is not a mediocre general, and he can naturally see the current situation clearly. Therefore, in my opinion, Ziying is really surrendering!”
Zong Yuan shook his head and said: "People's hearts are separated from each other! No one can guarantee whether Ziying will really surrender. Sir, you still have to be more careful!"
After listening to what Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan said, Tang Yin fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Jiang Lu became a little anxious. He risked his own life and finally persuaded Ziying to surrender. If he was said to be a fake surrender, wouldn't he be in vain? Thinking of this, his face turned red and he said urgently: "Sir, I, Jiang Lu, dare to guarantee my life with my head. Ziying is definitely sincerely surrendering to me!"
Seeing Jiang Lu's blushing face and rough neck, Tang Yin smiled, nodded, and said, "Since Mr. Jiang Lu is so sure, I will go to Huya Mountain for a trip."
Jiang Lu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Everyone else frowned. It was too dangerous for Tang Yin to go up the mountain in person without knowing whether Ziying was really surrendering or pretending to surrender.
Qiu Zhen said quietly: "If you want to receive the surrendering troops, you don't need to go there in person. You only need to send a general to receive them."
"Huh?" Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "If I don't go there in person, not only will it mean contempt, but I will also neglect others. Maybe Ziying will think that I, the county chief, are timid and afraid of death!" As he spoke, he looked at Wu Guang and Zhan Hu and said, "Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Yuan Wu, and Yuan Biao, the four of you will go up the mountain with me."
"Yes, sir!" Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, and Shangguan brothers all agreed.
These four people are all fierce generals. If you pick any one of them, they will be masters who can hold their own on the battlefield. Tang Yin chose these four for safety reasons.
With these four people accompanying Tang Yin up the mountain, Qiu Zhen and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How many people are you planning to bring?"
Tang Yin said lightly: "This trip is not to go to war, just bring a dozen guards." He thought clearly in his heart that if Ziying really pretended to surrender, bringing more people would be a hindrance and it would be difficult for him to escape intact. , with only a few guards, it would be easy to run away.
Before Qiu Zhen and the others could speak, Jiang Lu said with great joy: "My lord's mind and courage are enough to win over Ziyao. If my lord goes there in person, he will definitely succeed immediately!"
Tang Yin laughed twice and said, "Mr. Jiang Lu, I have to trouble you to take another trip to Huya Mountain with me."
"Yes, sir!" Jiang Lu agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
At noon, Tang Yin left the Tianyuan Army's camp and walked up to Huya Mountain. He was accompanied only by Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Shangguan brothers and ten personal guards. Jiang Lu, who had changed his clothes again, also followed. There were only a dozen people in the group, walking slowly and slowly towards the Peng Army camp on the top of the mountain.
It was almost the same as when Jiang Lu came. When they reached the mountainside, they were stopped by Peng soldiers on guard. Someone shouted and asked, "Who are you?"
Tang Yin took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I am Tang Yin. I want to see your General Ziying!"
