Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 404
The wind in Zhongnan Mountain seems to never stop.

It is easy to go down the mountain, but difficult to go up the mountain.

When the two soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain, they were so tired and out of breath that they couldn't even straighten their waists.

Xue Wanche had been waiting for them all the time, and when Xue Wanche saw them, Xue Wanche's expression suddenly relaxed.

Obviously, Xue Wanche was a little worried when they went down, maybe because he was worried that they would surrender to the Tang army.

In that case, if they lead Tang Jun up, they will have nowhere to hide.

"General, general..." After the two climbed up, they handed in the letter of persuasion.

"what is this?"

"Whoever Tang Jun shoots on the mountain, a letter of persuasion."

"A letter of persuasion?" Xue Wanche snorted, although their current situation is not good, but they still can't if they want him to surrender.

With that said, Xue Wanche was about to tear up the letter of persuasion.

When the two soldiers saw this, they panicked immediately, and quickly persuaded: "General, take a look, the heirs of the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Qi are all dead."

"What?" Xue Wanche was shocked. He still wanted to survive, and then supported the prince's children to fight for the throne. If they were all dead, how could he persist?
Xue Wanche quickly opened the persuasion letter and read it. After reading it, Xue Wanche suddenly staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, a soldier hurried up to support him.

"General..."

Xue Wanche let out a long sigh: "It's over, it's over..."

The situation was clearly written in the letter of persuasion, and from the letter of persuasion, Xue Wanche saw that Li Shimin has already controlled everything. He wants to rebel, and he is under great pressure and difficulties. The biggest difficulty is that they have not Objects that can be supported.

In that case, nothing they do now makes sense.

Of course, there is also Li Yuan, but they are not Li Yuan's people, there is no need to help Li Yuan fight for power, and they can't fight for it either.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if not even the birdsong could be heard.

After a long time, Xue Wanche slowly stood up straight again.

"Go down the mountain and surrender."

Hearing the surrender, some soldiers were secretly happy, but they didn't dare to show it for a while, but the other soldiers remained expressionless and said, "General, do you want to surrender?"

Xue Wanche said: "That's right, surrender, it's meaningless for us to persevere."

Those soldiers were not moved by it.

"Why is it meaningless, to avenge His Highness the Crown Prince, and what if they kill us if we surrender?"

Xue Wanche frowned, and said: "Li Shimin will not kill and surrender. If he kills and surrenders, the stable situation he has painstakingly managed is bound to be chaotic. Not only will he not kill and surrender, but in order to appease the prince's old party, he will treat us very badly." Okay, don't worry."

Xue Wanche sometimes sees things very accurately. He knows that even if Li Shimin really wants to kill him, he will never kill him, and will use him again.

This is the art of the emperor in Gaowei.

"Go down the mountain!"

Xue Wanche was about to leave, but at this moment, those soldiers who had spoken just now suddenly pulled out their knives.

"The general wants to surrender, we dare not stop him, but the crown prince has treated us well, we will not surrender to Li Shimin, so we have to die to repay the crown prince's kindness."

After finishing speaking, several soldiers swung their knives suddenly, spraying several streams of blood, those soldiers suddenly laughed, and immediately fell down from Zhongnan Mountain.

There was only a trace of bloody smell left around, not even their corpses.

The rest of the people looked at the empty mountain where the few people fell, and suddenly looked solemn.

Worried, an indescribable worry.

Perhaps, some people were willing to bury Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but they were unwilling, but they were afraid that Xue Wanche would suddenly change his mind.

After all, with the stimulation of these people, it is not impossible for Xue Wanche to be tempted.

The atmosphere on the top of the mountain was a little dignified. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing everyone to tremble. Xue Wanche also woke up under the gust of wind.

"Go down the mountain!"

Xue Wanche didn't say much, and led the crowd down the mountain.

Maybe he was afraid of death, maybe after seeing how those people died just now, he felt that he should live more, because only by living can he have a chance to take revenge.

In this world, dying is an easy thing, but living for revenge is the most difficult.

At the foot of the mountain, Yu Feng was waiting in the barracks. He felt that he might wait for several days.

But at this moment, a soldier hurried over: "General, Xue Wanche and the others are going down the mountain."

"Did you go down the mountain?" Yu Feng pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Let's go!"

He knew that Xue Wanche was going to surrender, because under the current situation, Xue Wanche had no possibility of false surrender, and the only option for false surrender was death, so he could only surrender.

Yu Feng led the soldiers and horses to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Not long after, Xue Wanche came down the mountain with his own people.

They were unarmed, and when they saw Yu Feng, Xue Wanche walked over first.

"General Yu, please stay safe." Xue Wanche looked a little haggard, not as heroic as he was back then.

Yu Feng glanced at him, without the slightest contempt, and said: "General Xue, His Highness the Crown Prince is kind, and will not pursue the old party in the East Palace at all, and His Highness the Crown Prince is thirsty for talents, as long as you are willing to surrender, His Highness the Crown Prince will protect your wealth and honor." .”

When Yu Feng finished speaking, Xue Wanche suddenly fell to his knees and said, "I, Xue Wanche, am willing to surrender and serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Feng nodded: "Okay, General Xue please hurry up."

Saying that, Yu Feng quickly ordered to his own people: "Quickly go to Beijing and tell His Royal Highness the news."

The capital city, Chang'an.

The Shangyuan Festival has passed for several days.

Li Shimin was busy in the side hall, but at this moment, a young eunuch hurried over.

"His Royal Highness, General Yu Feng sent someone to send a message."

"Oh, bring it.

Li Shimin took Yu Feng's letter from the eunuch when he was young, and after reading it, Li Shimin showed a slight smile: "Okay, okay, then Xue Wanche is finally willing to surrender. At this point, the old party in the Eastern Palace has also surrendered."

Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, the old party in the Eastern Palace surrendered, and then he could almost sit down for some things. Although the position of prince is good, he didn't want to sit down for too long.

Just when Li Shimin was thinking this way, Kong Yingda came.

"His Royal Highness, the results of the Imperial College Entrance Examination have come out. This is the list of ten candidates and their test papers. Please have a look at them, His Royal Highness."

Kong Yingda is the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and this matter is under his control. Li Shimin glanced at the list, and then briefly glanced at the test papers of those people. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him. After nodding, he said: "Okay, since you are out Then let’s make it public and let them study at the Imperial College as soon as possible, if there is any problem during the learning process, you, the Imperial College, cannot shirk responsibility.”

There is something in Li Shimin's words.
