The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1557 Finally surrendered
Rong Leyong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

From Diabolo's words, he could figure out that there must be a lot of Song troops going around to the rear of Lantian County.

But Diabolo saw his appearance, and said leisurely: "General Rong is not planning to lead the army to chase our Song soldiers at this time, is he?"

Rong Leyong remained silent.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed softly: "General Zhou, you are really resourceful..."

He is undoubtedly a little bit hard to get off now.

Even if he leads the army to pursue the army led by Liu Zhuwen now, after being surrounded by so many Qingqi to Lantian County, he can't absolve himself of the blame.

Diabolo said it was to give him time to think about it, but in fact it didn't at all.From the moment Liu Zhuwen led his army around Lantian, Rong Leyong was already on fire.

There are only two paths before him now.

First, lead the army out of Lantian to pursue Liu Zhuwen.In this way, there may be a chance to take the crime and make meritorious service, but it is estimated that Bing Wenxuan will still be punished.

Moreover, the Song army stationed in Languan may also take the opportunity to take Lantian.

The second is to acquiesce that Liu Zhuwen led the army to continue to bully the Jingzhao Mansion.

This is tantamount to not much difference from having voted for the Song Dynasty.

Bing Wenxuan is not a fool, it is impossible for Rong Leyong to stand still under such circumstances, he can't even see any clues.

Diabolo bowed slightly, and said, "General Rong is overrated."

In fact, he was also rejoicing.

Fortunately, Liu Zhuwen led his army to bypass Lantian County successfully.

If Liu Zhuwen had alarmed the defenders in Lantian County when he bypassed Lantian County, the situation might not be what it is now.

If Rong Leyong intends to vote for Song, it's okay, but if he doesn't intend to vote for Song, he will definitely lead his army out of the city to stop Liu Zhuwen's Qingqi.At that time, there was a lot of smoke, and it was absolutely impossible to win Jingzhao.It was also very difficult for him to leave Lantian County alive.

It seems that the higher ups are still taking care of their Great Song Forbidden Army.

Rong Leyong stood in front of the diabolo in a daze, his eyes fixed on the diabolo all the time, his expression constantly changing.

He is hesitating, he is making a choice.

At the beginning, he didn't expect Song Jun to attack so soon, he was not so eager.But now, he has no chance to hesitate.

He had to make a choice.

After a long time, Rong Leyong finally opened his mouth and said: "General Zhou, I hope you don't break your promise. I promise Rong something, and I hope you can do what you say."

Diabolo shrugged, smiled lightly: "It's natural."

Rong Leyong couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Rong Leyong turned his head and walked out of the room.

Sitting in the room, Diabolo picked up the teapot and drank by himself.There is always a smile on his face.

Rong Leyong has obviously decided to surrender, which is of course an excellent thing for Da Song.

Although Rong Leyong and these Yuan troops in Lantian County may not be able to come in handy in a short period of time, when the matter spreads, it will inevitably cause quite a stir and influence.

First, the surrender of Languan, and then the surrender of Lantian County, will definitely hit the morale of the Yuan army in Jingzhaofu Road and make people panic.

Even after Chai Liren's army arrived, it was bound to be affected.

As long as Liu Zhuwen can really win the Jingzhao Mansion, Rong Leyong will have no room for repentance.Then on this west road, the strength of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty is no less than that of the Yuan Army.

And not long after Rong Leyong returned to the main hall, another general came to look for him in a hurry.

He came here again to ask for orders to lead the army to chase after the imperial army of Song Dynasty.

Rong Leyong sat on the main seat, with unstoppable boredom on his brows, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or because of his own emotions. Hearing these generals who came over said that they would lead the army out of the city, he said angrily: " The Song Army just slipped by under our noses, and you didn’t even notice, and now you are still leading the army? What are you going to do? What are you going to fight for?”

All the generals showed shame on their faces.

Lantian County, as a barrier between Jingzhao Mansion and Languan, was actually slipped by Song Jun so quietly. This is indeed a shameful thing.

But then some generals still sneered: "My lord, the conciliator, the last general knows he is guilty. But now, if we continue to hesitate, wouldn't we be more guilty?"

Rong Leyong snorted coldly when he heard the words, "You all know Jiedushi's temper, we people don't want to end well."

As the censor of Jingzhaofu Road, Bing Wenxuan belonged to the top level among Han officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and he was also a rare person who was trusted by the Yuan Dynasty.

He is the sky on Jingzhaofu Road.

As a big official in the frontier, it is inevitable to act tough.

Few of the generals and officials in the entire Jingzhaofu Road did not know that Bing Wenxuan had a tough character and a strong hand.This is no secret on Jingzhaofu Road.

Hearing Rong Leyong's words, several generals couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

Even Rong Leyong, the appeasement envoy, was extremely afraid of Bing Wenxuan, one can imagine how these generals whose official positions are not as good as Rong Leyong's would be.

Let the Song army quietly bypass Lantian and go straight to Jingzhao. Even if they lead the army there at this time, the result may be as Rong Leyong said, and it will not be much better.

It would be fine if they could defeat the Song army. They should be regarded as guilty and meritorious.

And if they failed to defeat the Song Army, even if they helped to defend the Jingzhao Mansion, Bing Wenxuan might punish them.

Even if they die now, they will inevitably be liquidated with them after the end of the war.Bing Wenxuan had done such things before.

A general with a sharper mind finally figured out some hidden meanings of Rong Leyong's words, and asked hesitantly: "Then what do you mean by appeasement..."

Rong Leyong didn't answer directly, but narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Do you want to seek greater wealth? Or do you want to go back like this and let Lord Yushi punish you?"

Now everyone can hear what he means.

Several generals in the hall couldn't help but hesitated, just like Rong Leyong did before.

After all, voting for the Song Dynasty is a big deal.

As long as they announce their vote for the Song Dynasty, they will be traitors of the Yuan Dynasty in the future!Scum!
Rong Leyong looked at their expressions, and said quietly: "To tell you the truth, in fact, a marshal in the Song army has already sent someone to look for me. He promised that as long as we are willing to surrender, we will all be heroes of the Song state in the future. In the territory they conquered, those of us can all become great officials in the frontier, and our official positions will definitely be higher than they are now."

Several generals were still silent after hearing the words.

Rong Leyong didn't force them either, but said again: "I intend to wait and see what happens, to see if the Song Army has the strength. You can make up your own minds, if you are willing to stay with me in Lantian County, Or lead your subordinates out of the city to pursue the Song army, I will not force you, let alone make things difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, he just silently looked at the generals in front of him.

Rong Leyong was quite familiar with these generals.Two of them were his immediate subordinates.

The other three were the governors of the counties and towns around Jingzhao Mansion, but they were by no means the generals who were loyal to the Yuan Dynasty.

Otherwise, Rong Leyong wouldn't have said these words to them just now, and he didn't even hide his intention to vote for Song.

A few minutes passed quickly.

These generals did not "disappoint" Rong Leyong.

His two direct subordinates were the first to express their views, saying: "The final general wishes that only the pacifier will follow suit."

Immediately afterwards, the three generals also quickly expressed their views, all of which were the same.

This made Derong Leyong quite enjoyable.

Although he was a conciliator, he was suppressed by that powerful censor, Bing Wenxuan, and he had never been so "supported" before.

This feeling made him very comfortable, and he also looked forward to becoming a feudal official in the future.

This feeling of being in power and worshiped by thousands of people is so intoxicating.

Then, Rong Leyong waved his hand and said: "Then you go down now and ask the other generals what they mean. I won't see them anymore."

All five generals took orders.

Only when they left, Rong Leyong secretly winked at his two direct subordinates.

Of course, he will not easily let those generals who want to rush to Jingzhao Mansion to support them leave the city.

Suddenly, night fell.

Liu Zhuwen led the army and was still marching towards Jingzhao Mansion, and the army was walking along the official road.

There hasn't been a fight yet on his side, but there is chaos in Lantian County first.

The five generals who had been instructed by Rong Leyong went to talk to the rest of the army about Rong Leyong's intentions. Not surprisingly, some were willing to follow Rong Leyong, while others cursed.

There's no reason this wouldn't spark a mutiny.
