At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 830
Gao Bufan bestowed a seat on Gao Shilian, who was seated. When talking about the experience of going to Cochin to take office, everyone sighed. Time flies so fast, six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"How many troops did Uncle Shilian bring to King Qin's rescue this time?" Gao Bufan asked anxiously.

Gao Shilian hastily said: "Your Majesty, please call me Gao Jian. The minister and the prefect Qiu received Xiao Xian's edict a few months ago and organized about 1 people to go north. Really, Shen Baoche from Qujiang (Guangdong) has a combined army of about [-] people, and they are now stationed [-] miles away."

Du Ruhui, Xu Shiji and the others looked at each other, [-] troops is a lot, and should not be underestimated.However, Gao Bufan knew that Gao Shilian's coming this time must be a good thing, so he asked calmly: "What are Qiu He, Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche thinking? Are they planning to be my enemy?"

Gao Shilian said with a smile: "I don't know the thoughts of Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche, but the prefect Qiu is willing to rely on you, the emperor."

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "This must be due to Uncle Shilian."

Gao Shilian smiled and didn't deny it. He is Gao Bufan's uncle and has the relationship with the eldest grandson's family. Naturally, he has been persuading Qiu He to join Gao Qi. In fact, he doesn't need to persuade him. As long as his eyes are not blind, he will know Gao Qi is powerful, and Xiao Liang's defeat is imminent. It is undoubtedly the wisest choice to join Gao Qi.

"What about Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche, how does uncle plan to deal with these two?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Gao Shilian glanced at Gao Bufan and said: "It depends on what the emperor wants. If the emperor wants the heads of the two, I will go back and kill them with tricks. If the emperor wants to let the net go, I will go back and move." Use emotion and reason to persuade them to surrender."

Gao Bufan's heart moved: "How sure is Uncle Shilian persuading the two?"

"I'm [-]% to [-]% sure." Gao Shilian said confidently.

Everyone at the scene was relieved when they heard the words. It would be the best result if they could not see the blood. Why not conquer the counties in the south of the Five Ridges without spending a single soldier?

Gao Bufan nodded and said happily: "Then I will ask Uncle Shilian, but you must pay attention to safety, if the other party is stubborn, you can kill him on the spot!"

Gao Shilian stood up and bowed calmly, "Your Majesty, please wait for your good news."

"Okay!" Gao Bufan nodded happily. It can be seen that Gao Shilian is much more capable and iron-blooded than before. Although he was full of talent and learning in the past, he was inevitably too bookish and not decisive enough. It can be seen that the experience of the past few years is indeed true. honed him.

Next, Gao Bufan personally sent Gao Shilian out of the camp, and the latter returned to the place where King Qin's soldiers were stationed. First, he found an excuse to find Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche, and then said bluntly: "I will tell you, the two generals. Well, Eunuch Qiu and I led our troops to Changsha this time, not to rescue King Qin, but to seek refuge with Gao Qi."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche's expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously touched their waists, but they found nothing, only then remembered that they had handed over their weapons when they came in.

Gao Shilian smiled and said: "Both generals, don't be nervous. Although Gao Jian is not a gentleman, he will not take advantage of others' danger. He is not afraid to tell you two that he is the uncle of Emperor Daqi, and the current empress is my niece. Not long ago, I have paid my respects to Emperor Daqi, and the emperor promised that as long as the two of you are willing to surrender, you will forget the past, and both will be rewarded, but...if you are stubborn, it will be hard to say."

Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche were shocked.

The prefect Qiu He swept a glance at the two of them, and said calmly: "Daqi's national power is at its peak, its soldiers are strong and its horses are strong, and the world's weather has been established. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Now Xiao Xian is about to fall. Why do you two have to work for him? Those who know current affairs are brilliant."

Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche looked at each other, and finally sighed secretly, both expressed their willingness to surrender Gao Qi, what else could they do?The knife rests on their necks, if they don't know what to do, they are afraid that the swordsmen ambushing outside the tent will rush in and snap them off, and what Qiu He said is right, Xiao Xian is almost defeated, and Gao Qi's army is strong and strong , it is already clear at a glance which boss has a better future!
Seeing that the two agreed to surrender, Gao Shilian laughed and said: "It's rare for the two generals to judge the situation and understand the righteousness. It's not too late. Gao Jian will lead you to visit the emperor."

Ever since, Gao Jian, Qiu He, Ning Changzhen and Shen Baoche came to the Qi army camp together, entered the imperial tent and kowtowed to the Great Qi Emperor Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan said happily: "Be flat, give me a seat."

After the four sat down and chatted for a while, Gao Bufan appointed Qiu He as the governor of Jiaozhou, Ning Changzhen as the governor of Guizhou, Shen Baoche as the governor of Guangzhou, and then sent Pei Xingyan to take over the team of the three.

In this way, the [-] Xiaoliang troops who had come to Changsha King Qin to rescue them, in a daze, defected to Daqi and joined the siege of Changsha City.A few days later, when Xiao Xian in Changsha City received the news, he felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Xiao Xian summoned all the officials under his command and said in a daze: "Your family has also seen that the Qi army is powerful and has surrounded Changsha City like an iron barrel. There is no food left inside and no reinforcements outside. It is only a matter of time before defeat.

God does not bless my beam!If you wait until your strength is exhausted, the people will suffer.Now, before the city is captured, go out of the city and surrender first, so as to avoid the disaster of chaos.The emperor of Qi is tall, long, talented, and general, so why worry about not having a monarch? "

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers present fell silent. Silence is golden. If anyone stood up to agree at this time, or agreed happily, wouldn't it be like throwing salt on Xiao Mian's heart? I didn't intend to test the minister's loyalty. If I stand up and agree at this time, I might be pulled out and snapped off.

Xiao Xian saw that everyone was silent, and the last hope in his heart was shattered. Silence is an acquiescence. These bastards, who eat me and wear me, in the end, none of them stood up to object, even if one of them is fine. There is not a loyal minister under his command!
For a while, Xiao Xian became more disheartened, waved his hands and ordered: "Yang Qing's family, get ready, wait for me to take a bath and change clothes, and go out of the city to surrender after paying homage to the Ancestral Temple."

Yang Daosheng, king of the Song Dynasty, hurriedly came out to promise, and immediately sent people out of the city to inform the Qi army that he was going to surrender, and asked the Qi army to temporarily stop attacking the city.

After Xiao Mian finished bathing, he burned incense and sued the Taimiao, and then he led a group of officials to open the city gate, walked out of the city, and knelt down in front of Gao Bufan: "The sinner Xiao Mian kowtowed to His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor, and the deceased is only Xiao Mian. One person, don't kill and loot the people in the city!"

Gao Bufan couldn't help frowning, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others also shook their heads secretly, this Xiao Xian is really confused, if you plead guilty, you can plead guilty, but you still have to put on a righteous look to buy people's hearts.

Pei Xingyan cursed unhappily: "Fart, my Daqi's army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, with strict discipline, never killing and plundering people, we need you to be a good man of benevolence and righteousness!"

Although Xiao Xian was defeated, he was obviously not convinced in his heart. When Pei Xingyan pointed at him and scolded him angrily, he couldn't hold back his face immediately. He glanced at the former and said, "Who are you? How dare you insult me!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials of Liang Guo who were kneeling behind Xiao Xian all changed their expressions in fright. Brother, you all surrendered, and you even called yourself, are you trying to kill everyone?

Xiao Xian also realized that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly bowed his head to plead guilty.

Pei Xingyan sneered and said: "I am General Qi Youwuwei, Wu Guogong Pei Xingyan, Xiao Xian, you dare to call yourself "I" in front of the emperor, I think you are impatient."

Xiao Xian touched his forehead to the ground and remained silent.

Gao Bufan said indifferently: "Xiao Mian, have you been convicted?"

Xiao Mian said in a deep voice: "Xiao Mian made a slip of the tongue for a while, I'm guilty!"

"Is it just a slip of the tongue?" Gao Bufan said coldly, "You protected Zhu Can, the cannibal thief, and refused to hand him over. The year before last, you deliberately sent Zhu Can to guard Yiling County, cutting off my way back, with the intention of harming him. For my life, I ordered you to come to Luoyang to plead guilty before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but you also ignore it and treat me like nothing?"

Xiao Mian raised his head and argued: "At that time, the emperor is the monarch of Qi, and Xiao Mian is the monarch of Liang. Xiao Mian does not have to obey the emperor's orders. Sui lost its deer, and heroes competed. All Xiao Mian did was to compete It’s just that the world is majestic, so what’s the crime? Xiao Xian had no destiny to protect him, so he was defeated by your majesty, just like Tian Heng Nan became king, so he didn’t feel sorry for the Han Dynasty?”

The faces of Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others changed drastically, and Ling Jing and Song Zhengben even shouted: "Bold!"

Gao Bufan laughed back angrily, and said lightly: "Xiao Xian, if you fight to the end, and the last soldier is captured, I respect you as a man, but you voluntarily open the city and surrender, but you are still talking like this So strong, so stupid, it really makes people look down on me, I give you two words - stupid!"

Pei Xingyan couldn't help laughing, he understands!

Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red. Although he didn't know what "Shabi" meant, he thought it was an insulting word, so he couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry.

"Since you want to be a hero, then I'll make it happen for you, come and kill Xiao Xian!" Gao Bufan ordered lightly.

Xiao Mian's face turned pale as paper, his intestines turned green with regret, he had clearly decided to surrender, why did he keep talking, he was really looking for a dead end.

Two Qi soldiers stepped forward immediately, put Xiao Xian in front of the moat, swung the knife down, blood spattered, a big head rolled down into the moat, and the blood stained a large area.

Xiao Xian's courtiers were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, trembling with fright, they didn't even dare to speak out.

Gao Bufan glanced over calmly: "Who else is not convinced?"

There was a complete silence all around, and then whoever took the lead kowtowed and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gao Bufan turned to Du Ruhui and said, "Please trouble Mr. Du, only those who are useful will stay, and those who are useless will be sent home."

"I obey the order!" Du Ruhui said respectfully. His main task was to recruit talents. Whenever the Qi army conquered a place, the first thing he did was to recruit talents.After all, once the place has been laid down, the follow-up governance still requires a lot of talents.

　The volume of Pingjiang Jiangnan is about to be finished, and it will give each hero a different ending.Well, I did it!
