Chapter 2273 Fu Zhang surrenders, Cun Xiao returns

Chapter 2269: Fu Zhang surrenders, Cun Xiao returns

Huo Qubing decided to trust Li Xiuning once, and asked her to help persuade the captured general Li Tang to surrender, and his first goal was Fu Cunju.

Although Fu Cunshen was not captured by Huo Qubing, but by Zhang Liao, after joining forces, Li Jing imprisoned all the senior Tang generals who were unwilling to surrender.

In other words, Fu Cunshen, Zhang Xiu, Changsun Wuji and other generals are now being held together.

in prison.

"Fu Cunjian, someone has come to see you."

Hearing this, Fu Cunshen thought it was a colleague who had surrendered, but when he saw the person who came, he was shocked.

"Princess Xiuning, why is it you?"

Fu Cunshen was very puzzled. How could Li Xiuning, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, appear here?

"You and I are both abandoned sons of the Tang Kingdom, if you can appear here, why can't I?"

Li Xiuning asked indifferently, but Fu Cunshen was even more startled.

Abandoned?

Princess Xiuning has become an abandoned child?

Has the war outside fallen to this point?

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Fu Cunshen asked with a serious face, Li Xiuning is his benefactor, if it wasn't for Li Xiuning's recommendation, he would not have been in Tang Wang's eyes, so he respects Li Xiuning very much.

"Ugh……"

After Li Xiuning sighed, he briefly talked about his experience with Fu Cunshen, and also talked about the outside situation by the way.

When he learned that Tang Wang was so heartless that even his own sister wanted to take advantage of him, Fu Cunshen's eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't believe that his master was so heartless and ungrateful.

The Tang Kingdom can be what it is today, Li Shimin can become the king of Tang, and Princess Xiuning is the first meritorious service. Even if it is not based on blood, it must be based on merit.

Isn't this chilling?

But when he learned that Li Shimin had resigned from the throne and surrendered to the Qin State, Fu Cunshen also understood that Li Shimin was in a hurry.

Now Li Shimin is on the verge of madness, even his own sister can be abandoned, will he still take care of these courtiers?
At this thought, Fu Cunshen's heart was full of bitterness.

"Your Highness, just tell me the purpose of coming here."

"General Fu, I hope you will surrender to Qin."

Li Xiuning went straight to the point, Fu Cunshen's eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't believe that Li Xiuning, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, was now here to persuade her to surrender for Qin.

Is this a complete rift with his brother Li Shimin?
"General Fu, Li Shimin is ungrateful and ungrateful, and doesn't deserve your allegiance to him. Join Qin with me, and you will be used better in Qin."

"But……"

"Are you worried about your family members in Chang'an City? Don't worry, as long as you agree to surrender to Qin, Qin will use diplomatic channels to get your family back.

The Tang State is now a subsidiary state of the Great Qin, and it certainly dare not let your family go. "

Hearing this, Fu Cunshen felt slightly relieved, Li Xiuning had helped him to this point, so he had no hesitation, and immediately knelt down.

"Princess Xiuning, Fu Cunshen is willing to surrender to Daqin."

"it is good."

Li Xiuning finally showed a smile, and stepped forward to help Fu Cunshen up.

She knew Fu Cunshen's ability. If the gap between Qin and Tang was not too large, Zhang Liao might not be able to break through Fenglingdu guarded by Fu Cunshen.

For a genius commander like Fu Cunshen, as long as he is given a chance, he will surely shine in the future.

Among all the captured Tang generals, Li Xiuning valued Fu Cunju the most, so he was the first to lobby him.

Now that Fu Cunshen really surrendered, Li Xiuning also breathed a sigh of relief. With Fu Cunshen and other generals from the Tang Dynasty present, she had a little foundation in Qin.

Li Xiuning is different from most women in this era, she is not the kind of woman who relies on men for everything.

Even at the side of the second brother Li Shimin, Li Xiuning had her own place in the Tang country by virtue of her own ability.

Now that Li Xiuning is about to marry into Qin State, she neither wants nor wants to completely become Ying Hao's vassal, so she wants to fight for her own future.

Li Xiuning hadn't seen Ying Hao for five years, and there was no contact between the two of them in the past five years, and she didn't know how much of their original friendship was left.

Has Ying Hao already forgotten her?
Even if you still remember her, but after such a long time, the relationship between the two will definitely become colder, can you go back to the beginning?

Li Xiuning didn't know these things, but she didn't feel confused.

She understands Ying Hao, this man is not a pure womanizer, he misses nostalgia and talent more than a woman's beauty, and she, Li Xiuning, has both.

Li Xiuning, who was once a bad handsome man, is definitely one of the people who knows Tang country best, and he is no less than Li Shimin.

With her in the state of Qin, Tang's civil and military forces have an extra way to survive, and they don't have to go to the end of a dead end with Li Shimin.

With her assistance, Ying Hao will be able to annex the Tang Kingdom more easily, and the descendants of the Tang Kingdom, and even the entire Tang Kingdom, are all supported by her in the Qin Kingdom.

"General Fu, how is your personal relationship with General Zhang Xiu?" Li Xiuning asked.

Fu Cunshen didn't even think about it, and replied decisively: "Not bad, brother Zhang once taught me marksmanship, and I also taught him military art."

"In that case, come with me to lobby General Zhang Xiu."

Zhang Xiu is different from Fu Cunshen. He has an enmity with Qin Jun.

Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji, died at the hands of Li Cunxiao at Hangu Pass, and Li Cunxiao was the number one general in Qin, so it was naturally more difficult for him to surrender to Qin than Fu Cunshen.

The reason why Qin Jun didn't kill Zhang Xiu was because he was Tong Yuan's disciple, and the famous Zhao Yun was also Tong Yuan's disciple, and the two were brothers.

Zhao Yun is the son-in-law of the Qin family, and he has friends all over the Qin army, and Tong Yuan is a master that Ying Hao respects very much, and he even wrote a letter to invite him to come to Luoyang to watch the ceremony.

Based on these two types of relationship, Qin Jun did not kill Zhang Xiu.

Zhao Yun came to lobby not long ago, but Zhang Xiu resolutely rejected it.

Although Li Xiuning had favored Zhang Xiu, even Zhao Yun failed, and she was not fully sure, so she brought Fu Cunshen along.

"Princess Xiuning, Brother Fu, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiu's reaction was bigger than that of Fu Cunshen. He didn't understand why these two people appeared again, but when he heard their explanations and their intentions, his expression suddenly became ugly.

Tang Guo's time is running out, does he really want to be buried with Tang Guo?
Li Xiuning actually overestimated Zhang Xiu's hatred for Qin.

When Zhang Jicai died, Zhang Xiu's heart was indeed filled with hatred, and he wanted to seek revenge from Li Cunxiao every day, and it was precisely because of this that his strength improved so quickly.

But then he gradually looked away. After all, it was a war, either you die or I die, and it is not surprising whoever kills anyone.

What's more, in the battle of Hangu Pass, Li Cunxiao killed many people. Nearly one-third of the famous Tang generals died in the battle, and even Li Yuanba's arm was cut off.

The family members of these people, including Tang Wang Li Shimin, wanted to take revenge on Li Cunxiao, but who could kill Li Cunxiao?

Zhang Xiu would think this way, mainly because his enemy Li Cunxiao was too powerful, so that he could not see any hope of revenge at all, so he might as well give up his hatred.

In the official history, due to lack of food in the army, Zhang Ji sent troops to plunder Liu Biao, but died when he attacked Rangcheng in Nanyang County, which was equivalent to dying at the hands of Liu Biao.

After Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu took over the army, and did not avenge Zhang Ji, but joined forces with Liu Biao to station troops in Wancheng.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Xiu is a sensible person, he will take revenge if he can, but if he really can't take revenge, he will not take his own life.

Under the persuasion of Li Xiuning and Fu Cunshen in turn, Zhang Xiu finally decided to give up his hatred with Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao is too powerful. With his aptitude and strength, there is no hope of revenge at all. What's more, now that the Tang Kingdom is about to perish, there is no force in the world that can fight Qin alone. It is simply impossible to continue to fight against Qin. Just looking for death.

Zhang Xiu didn't want to die even though the ants were stealing their lives, so he decided to give up his hatred and return to Qin.

After saying that Zhang Xiu was surrendered, Li Xiuning was in a good mood, and continued to lobby other generals.

Under the lobbying of Li Xiuning, Zhang Xiu, and Fu Cunshen, the captured generals of the Tang army surrendered one after another, and only a few others, including Changsun Wuji, were still persisting.

In this regard, Li Xiuning did not force it.

The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and the relationship between the two is too close. If the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, and the old master is not dead, if you defect to the enemy, you will probably be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life.

Huo Qubing witnessed the whole process of Li Xiuning's demoting Fu Cunju, Zhang Xiu and other generals with his own eyes, and he couldn't believe that the process would be so smooth.

It's not that they haven't said what Li Xiuning said, but those diehards just don't want to surrender, and now they just say the same thing again with a different person, but it has a completely different result.

This made Huo Qubing sigh, Li Xiuning had a great influence on Li Tang, so the marriage to Qin State this time was definitely not a loss.

The impact of Zhang Xiu and Fu Cunshen's surrender is undoubtedly huge. Before them, there was no general in Tang State who surrendered to Qin. Surrendered two at once.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. With Zhang Xiu and Fu Cunshen taking the lead, there will definitely be more generals who will surrender in the future, and their ranks will be higher.

With Li Xiuning around, if you send troops to take down the Tang Kingdom in the future, you may not be able to recruit famous generals and officials such as Yang Jian, Gao Siji, Li Kui, and Li Si.

Looking at Zhang Xiu, Fu Cunjian and other generals standing behind Li Xiuning with respectful faces, Huo Qubing said: "Ma'am, I have already reported the matter about the family members of the generals to Chief Superintendent Li Jing.

A few days ago, the governor had already sent envoys to Chang'an, and after some negotiations, Li Tang had agreed to send them back to the families of the generals. "

It’s okay not to agree. Regarding the "Luoyang Treaty", Li Tang did not implement some small clauses as agreed, such as the issue of Sima Yi and Proton.

Especially the proton, temporarily abolishing the son Li Zhi and making Li Xingyun the son, isn't this taking advantage of the loopholes in the treaty.

No matter how good an excuse Li Tang made, if he didn't fulfill it, he didn't fulfill it. Qin Guo could use this to say that Li Tang didn't abide by the agreement, and his sincerity was insufficient.

The reason Qin Guo didn't pursue the responsibility was because he intentionally dug another hole for Li Tang.

In Ying Hao's view, what is the treaty for?It is for tearing.

No, you should obey if it is beneficial, and tear it up if it is not beneficial.

The Qin State was jointly pressured by various countries, and the founding ceremony was imminent, so the "Luoyang Treaty" was signed.

As for the content of the treaty, Qin State naturally did not suffer, but the benefits were definitely not as great as Tang State, and this was a disadvantage for Qin State.

Therefore, from the moment the treaty was signed, the senior officials of the Qin State knew that the lord would tear up the treaty sooner or later, but breaching the contract had a bad reputation after all, so it was necessary to find a fair reason.

The more regulations Li Tang did not abide by now, the more excuses Qin would have to send troops in the future.

Li Shimin didn't know what Ying Hao was thinking. After tentatively violating the two regulations, he didn't dare to test Qin's bottom line anymore, so he decisively released Zhang Xiu and other generals' families.

Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Zhang Xiufu and other generals were relieved.

They would rather not surrender before, not because they were determined to Li Shimin, but because they didn't want to involve their family members in Chang'an as hostages.

Now that Li Tang was intimidated and willing to take the initiative to send back the general's family, the last worry in their hearts was gone.

All Tang generals headed by Fu Cunshen knelt down and said in unison: "Thank you, princess, for helping me to welcome my family and get married."

"Get up, everyone, now that you're in Qin, you can work hard for Qin." Li Xiuning stretched out his hand for help.

"Yes, since we have descended to Qin, we will never rebel." Fu Cunshen and the others said in unison.

Seeing this scene, Huo Qubing felt rather apprehensive, why did he go to thank Li Xiuning?It was Qin Jun who helped them get back home.

Huo Qubing was vaguely aware of Li Xiuning's intentions, and secretly thought: Maybe after the Tang Kingdom is destroyed, there will be another faction in the Great Qin Dynasty, the Tang faction.

"Report... General Qi, General Li Cunxiao is back."

"what?"

Huo Qubing suddenly showed surprise.

Li Cunxiao has been missing for more than half a year since the Battle of Hangu Pass, no one knows where he is, only that he is definitely still alive.

But after a long time, Li Cunxiao did not show up for a long time, and rumors that he had died in battle would inevitably spread.

This kind of rumor is still widely circulated among the people. After all, Li Cunxiao, who is number one in the world, has not shown his face for half a year, so what else could he be if he is not dead?

In this regard, Qin Guo naturally refuted the rumors, but the effect was obviously not good. As long as Li Cunxiao does not show up for a day, this kind of talk will not disappear for a day.

Now that Li Cunxiao has finally returned, the rumors of his death in battle naturally dissipated.

"Finally back, let him, forget it, I will go to greet him personally."

Huo Qubing had a good personal relationship with Li Cunxiao, and he was overjoyed when he learned that Li Cunxiao had returned, so he went out to greet him in person.

As soon as he walked out of the camp gate, Huo Qubing saw a familiar figure, it was not Li Cunxiao or who, but beside him were two beautiful figures.

Huo Qubing was taken aback when he saw this, he thought that Li Cunxiao burned his internal energy just after he broke through to the grand master, and his years of practice were exhausted, so he didn't show up for so long, he should be recuperating from his injuries.

But what happened to the pair of sisters?
