No!

This must not go on like this.

Peng Dangbo felt that if he stayed any longer, he would undoubtedly lose the city.

He might even end up being killed by the rebels.

Something must be done!
suddenly!

He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Come here, bring all the military and civilian representatives from outside the city into the mansion. I, the general, want to have a frank discussion with them!"

Being able to surround the general's mansion was definitely not something that ordinary people could do, but subordinate officials were involved.

Although Peng belongs to the sky of Anding County, there are still many erratic clouds under this sky.

Now these clouds no longer want to be under Peng's sky.

"General, if we bring them in, what should we do if the situation gets out of control?"

"Humph!"

Peng Dangbo snorted coldly and said, "Isn't this situation out of control now?"

If he delays it any longer, he's afraid that the situation will really be out of his control.

"Go and invite them in quickly!"

"promise!"

The guards were reluctant, but they had no choice but to follow Peng Dangbo's orders and go to bring the people over.

The people making trouble outside did not expect that Peng Dangbo would dare to invite people in.

At first I thought it was a conspiracy, but after I learned that a hundred people could enter, most of my worries disappeared.

One hundred armored soldiers entered the mansion. Can the soldiers in the mansion kill them all in a short period of time?
Besides, the door will not be closed.

The volunteers and volunteers behind can enter it continuously.

General Peng really wants to negotiate.

This is not beyond the expectations of many people.

After all, those who understand current affairs are heroes.

Peng Dangbo's image in Wushi City is pretty good. He seldom bullies men and dominates women. On the contrary, he does a lot of good deeds. Therefore, when these one hundred people entered the general's residence, they did not do anything. Other excessive things.

In the hall, Peng Dangbo looked a little nervous as he looked at so many people pouring into the mansion. The palms of his hands hidden in his sleeves were already sweating unconsciously.

"Everyone, I have something to say, please listen carefully!"

After saying that, Peng Dangbo looked sad and said with emotion:
"I have been the guard of Wushi City for so many years, and I have no kindness to you. Now that the Han army has entered Anding, the officials and people in other counties have defected to the Han army. This may be the time for you to become wealthy. I I am the guard of Wushi City, and my duty is to guard the city for the Peng family. Even if I die, you have no obligation, so just take my head as a gift for surrendering to the Han army."

After hearing his words, the officials and people present had different expressions on their faces.

Some people cried bitterly when they thought of Peng Dangbo's kindness in daily life. Many people said: "We will be with the general in life and death, and we will never have two minds."

of course.

More people watched indifferently.

What Peng Dangbo said hit the right spot in their hearts.

But due to Peng Dangbo's usual majesty, they did not take action immediately, but looked to see what Peng Dangbo would do next.

Everyone's reaction was as expected by Peng Dangbo.

He continued: "You are unwilling to kill me, and I am very grateful. Then I will give you an idea. You see, Yuezhi City has been captured by the Han army, and the surrounding people have defected to the Han army. The Han army has surrounded We have reached Wuzhi City and are about to attack it. You don’t have to surrender immediately, you can hold on.”

Seeing that no one refuted, Peng Dangbo continued: "If the Peng family's reinforcements arrive, the enemy will retreat. At that time, we can stick to our city and get rewards without losing our integrity. If the Peng family's reinforcements arrive, If I don’t arrive, and the Han army is in a hurry to attack the city, it’s not too late for you to kidnap me and surrender, so as to gain wealth.”

All the officials and the people felt that what he said was reasonable.

In fact, they besieged the city because they did not want to become prisoners of the Han army after the city was broken.

But he wanted to take some credit and maintain his position under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

But Peng Dangbo’s words are reasonable and well-founded.

If reinforcements from Jingyang arrive and defeat the Han army, wouldn't they be courting death by surrendering to the city?
The Peng family has ruled Anding for many years and is very prestigious in the local area.

As soon as Peng Dangbo said this, he immediately extinguished the ambitions of many careerists.

In other words, they pushed back their ambitions.

"In that case, I'll leave the city soon!"

Peng Dangbo immediately climbed onto the city tower, surrounded by his guards, closed the city gate and stood firm.

"Everyone, I will negotiate with the general of the Han army so that he will not attack the city. As for the outcome, it depends on who owns Xiao Pass."

If Xiao Guan is lost, there will be no danger to defend Wushi City, and there is no need to defend the city.

Surrendering may be the right choice for him.

"No, no, no!"

"If even Xiaoguan is captured by the Han army, then we will surrender."

"If Xiao Pass is not lost, Anding County still has the possibility to defend it. Once Xiao Pass is lost, Anding is no longer in danger and there is no need to hold on to Wushi City."

Immediately, Peng Dangbo asked ten people with loud voices to shout at the Han army below the city:
"Listen to the Han troops below the city. If you can capture Xiao Pass and prevent the reinforcements from the Peng clan from the east from arriving here, within a month, our Wushi City will surrender without you attacking it. If you can't do that, you will mobilize an army like this. Even if I give the city to you, it will be in vain."

When Yang Wanwan, who was under the city, heard these words, he was immediately amazed and soon understood why the general who defended the city did what he did.

"The public opinion is fierce!"

How could it be so if it wasn't driven by public opinion?

The defenders in the city could not hold themselves back.

Is this how His Majesty controls people's hearts?

It's terrible!

"General, are we still going to attack the city?"

Siege?

"What if Wushi City is captured?"

Moreover, looking at the performance of the people on the city, if they attack the city this time, it will actually stabilize the hearts of the defenders.

He, Yang Wanwan, would not do such stupid things.

Therefore, Yang Qianwan snorted coldly and said: "To stop the enemy coming from Jingyang, just wait for news from Lei Ding! It doesn't matter whether we attack Wushi City or not."

If Lei Ding is unable to complete the task of capturing Xiao Pass.

Hey.

This first great achievement will fall into the hands of Yang Wanwan.

For this reason, it is necessary to preserve strength.

Furthermore
If Lei Ding succeeds, he won't have to waste the lives of his soldiers in attacking Wushi City.

Although he is willing to trade the lives of hundreds of Di clan warriors for the future of his own children.

But
If it could not only provide a future for his children, but also reduce the losses of his tribe, why would he, Yang Wanwan, refuse?
After all, the Di family's hundred hectares are also Yang Wanwan's capital.

wait!

Waiting for news about Lei Ding and Xiao Guan!
The night was as dark as ink, and the stars in the sky were sparse and dim.

In this silent night, Lei Ding led 570 elite soldiers of the Di clan and quietly embarked on the road to attack Xiaoguan.

Lei Ding was riding on a black war horse, his eyes were cold and firm.

The success or failure of this trip will be directly related to changes in the entire war situation.

Their goal was to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and capture Xiao Pass in one fell swoop.

The night was their cover, and the five hundred and seven Di soldiers were like phantoms in the dark night, quickly approaching Xiaoguan.

The city wall towered into the clouds, like an insurmountable barrier, but Lei Ding and his warriors did not flinch.

"Prepare to climb the city!" Lei Ding issued the order in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was full of determination and courage.

The soldiers took action upon hearing the order. They divided labor and cooperated in a tacit understanding. Some were responsible for guarding, while others began to prepare tools for climbing the city.

In the night, only black shadows were seen climbing up the city wall as nimbly as apes.

Their movements were light and agile, as if they were integrated with the city walls.

Wei Jun, who was on duty at night, was completely unaware of these quietly approaching black figures. They were still sleeping and had no idea that the danger had quietly arrived.

When the Di soldiers successfully scaled the city wall, they quickly took action. In the light of swords and shadows, the Wei troops who were on duty at night were subdued one by one.

During the whole process, no too much noise was made, only the occasional low groan and the crisp sound of weapons intersecting.

It didn't cause much commotion.

Lei Ding also climbed up the city wall. He watched his warriors start a fierce battle in Guancheng like tigers descending the mountain.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

"For the tribe!"

The light of fire, the light of swords, and the light of blood intertwined together, reflecting each warrior's face.

Their faces were full of determination and bravery, and every swing of their swords looked so decisive and powerful.

Before Lei Ding attacked Xiaoguan, he made a promise with these five hundred warriors.

If Xiao Pass can be captured, everyone will be rewarded with ten cows and three hundred acres of land.

Whether alive or dead.

all!

Those who die in battle will get half as much. In order to attack Xiaoguan, Lei Ding was bleeding heavily.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Although Lei Ding led seven warriors from Lei Ding, there were only 500 people, but their siege posture was as if there were thousands of troops.

Soon, the Di soldiers took control of the entire Guancheng.

They opened the city gate inside the pass to welcome the entry of follow-up troops.

to be honest.

He has five hundred people, just the vanguard.

Thousands of people followed behind.

Although Ma Di believed that Lei Ding could capture Xiao Pass with 500 men.

But to control Xiao Pass, defend Xiao Pass, and prevent the Wei army from counterattack, more people will inevitably be needed.

It was impossible for Ma Su to ignore the situation just because of the bet between Lei Ding and Yang Wanwan.

The situation in the city was quickly brought under control.

Lei Ding, covered in blood, stood on the city wall, looking at the darkness outside the pass. His heart was full of pride and ambition.

At this time, Lei Ding thought of a poem by the Emperor of Han.

"The long pass through Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning!"

He finally understood the lofty ambitions in Liu Chan's heart.

Behind him, the excitement on the soldier's face couldn't be stopped.

"We succeeded!" A Di warrior shouted excitedly.

His voice echoed in the night air, as if cheering for this victory.

"Xiao Pass has been captured!"

"With ten cows and three hundred acres of land, our family will become a landlord!"

"I've turned over, I've turned over, and I can finally eat meat!"

Other soldiers also shouted, their voices full of excitement and pride.

Lei Ding turned around and looked at the soldiers around him.

This victory is the result of their joint efforts. ,

Without their desperate efforts to kill the enemy, his Lei Ding achievements would not have been possible.

"You all have contributed greatly to the victory in this battle! The rewards promised before have been recorded. When we return to Nanzheng, I, Mr. Lei, will fulfill my promise!"

Lei Ding said loudly.

When the warriors from the Leiding Seven Division heard these words, they all cheered.

"Long live the Thunder King!"

"Long live the Thunder King!"

"Long live the Thunder King!"

Lei Ding is the leader of Lei Ding's Seven Tribes. In fact, their private title is King Di of Lei Ding's Seven Tribes.

It is not at all outlandish to be called the King of Thunder.

But Lei Ding has already invested in the Han Dynasty, so he naturally knows the principle of caution.

"It's not that I, Long Live Lei Ding, but Long Live Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty giving me the opportunity to perform meritorious service, how could you get these rewards? Long live Your Majesty!"

Junsi Jian's spy might be by his side.

He must not offend His Majesty or Yan Guan because of his complacency.

It would be funny if instead of taking the credit, you would be guilty.

The Di warriors under his command heard this and shouted loudly in cooperation:

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Hearing them shouting "Long Live Your Majesty," Lei Ding finally showed an expression of relief on his face.

This is right!

Why should I, Lei Ding, live long?
I would be satisfied if I could live to be a hundred years old.

Your Majesty is the one who wants to live for ten thousand years.

I will just be your majesty's dog.

"Just clean up the battlefield."

After capturing Xiaoguan, Lei Dinghe became busy.

They cleared the battlefield, treated the wounded, and comforted the people...

By the way, Xiao Guanshou sent Peng Dang Ji prisoner to Yuezhi City after being captured alive.

It is planned to be transferred to Long County to present to His Majesty to promote the power of Han Dynasty.

Let’s show those aristocratic families what the consequences of offending His Majesty will be!
But when Peng Dangji arrived at Yuezhi City, he was soon changed hands by Ma Su and sent to Wuzhi City.

November 21, the first year of Tianming.

At the foot of Wushi City, Peng Dangji was tied up with five flowers. The escorted Han soldiers pressed him down hard and knelt in front of Wushi City.

Although Yang Wanwan was very unhappy with Lei Ding's attack on Xiaoguan, he still couldn't help but smile on his face when he thought that he had taken Wushi City effortlessly and without any losses.

"People in the city, listen, this is Xiao Pass guard Peng Dangji. Xiao Pass has been broken, why don't you surrender?"

Peng Dangbo was carried to the top of the city by a group of people. He stretched his neck and looked down, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He is really his third brother Peng Dangji.

Xiao Guan is broken?

"General, we haven't seen reinforcements from Jingyang for several days, and Xiaoguan has been defeated by the Han Dynasty again. If we don't surrender now, when will we wait?"

Some people nearby were already getting impatient.

"Or are you saying that the general's words before were deceiving us?"

Many people have gloomy eyes and have already begun to draw their swords.

Clang, Clang, Clang~
The sound of drawing swords could be heard for a while.

As if he felt the sharpness of the sword, Peng Dangbo secretly swallowed a breath and said immediately: "I, Peng Dangbo, have kept my word, tied me up, and sent me to the city as a prisoner. I will do your work and open the city gate!"

Seeing that Peng Dangbo was willing to cooperate, the murderous intent on the faces of the soldiers and civilians immediately disappeared.

They still had some affection for Peng Dangbo, so someone said to Peng Dangbo: "General, please dedicate the city to us!"

As soon as he said this, the others knelt down and said to Peng Dangbo: "General, please dedicate the city to us!"

The sound of the mountain shouting was deafening.

The reason why no one took the lead in dedicating the city was not because they did not want credit.

But everyone present has concerns.

They were still afraid that Peng An would be held accountable later.

After all, the Anding Peng family has too much power in Anding County.

They believed that the Han army could defeat the Anding Peng clan, but they did not believe that the Han army could completely eliminate the Anding Peng clan in Anding County.

After the Han army left, it might be possible that Anding County’s surname would still be Peng.

At this time, no one dares to risk being the first!
"Hey~"

Peng Dangbo sighed.

He knew that it was over to stabilize the Peng family.

Because the Anding Peng family provoked opponents they shouldn't have provoked.

A powerful and cunning opponent.

This opponent is powerful because its military prowess and means are first-class. Although the Anding Peng family is a local leader in Anding County, they are not even a match for the Han army.

Being handled easily.

The cunning thing is that the people fighting for the Han outside the city are not Han troops, but Di people.

The Han people were able to regain Anding County without shedding a drop of blood. What kind of method was this?
How could Anding Peng be such a cunning opponent?
We can only stop the loss in time.

That's right.

Peng Dangbo will also be the leader.

However, his original intention was different from Peng Tianci.

Peng Tianci did it more for himself, while he did it more to stabilize the Peng family.

After this battle, the Anding Peng family will definitely be purged by the Han Dynasty.

To stabilize Peng's family is bound to severely damage their vitality, and may even make them unable to recover.

And what he, Peng Dangbo, can do is use his meager contribution to preserve the bloodline as much as possible for the stability of the Peng family.

This is also the way for aristocratic families to survive.

If you can't beat them, surrender.

There is nothing that is not humiliating.

At this time, maintaining the survival of the family is a hundred times more important than the so-called face!
