First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302 Double Happiness
...

In the camp of the Tang army, Xu Xuanche, dressed in fine clothes, came to the gate of the camp on a carriage. get off.

"Quickly report to the Commander-in-Chief of your army, King Xu Xuanche, king of Yan of the Great Liang, please surrender," Xu Xuanche said in a deep voice.

The captain of Yingmen was startled when he heard the words, then he laughed out loud, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "What do you think, it turns out that you are here to surrender, this air is not small."

The corners of Xu Xuanche's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he closed his eyes without saying a word. He held his own identity, and naturally he would not argue with a school captain.

"Wait here", the school captain Nunuzui scolded: "A certain family will report here", muttering as he walked, "It's big enough to return the king of Yan with this kind of virtue".

After a long time, the gate of the camp opened wide, and groups of soldiers came out in two groups, with a majestic momentum. Seeing this, Xu Xuanche knew that the Lord was coming, so he immediately cheered up and held his head high.

As Xiao Xian said, there is still room for them to surrender before the city is broken. If they really wait until the city is broken, they will be slaughtered.

I saw Li Xiaogong wearing golden armor, very mighty, followed by Gao Chong, Wei Ling and others, striding forward.

Xu Xuanche secretly sighed in his heart, stepped forward slowly, bowed in salute and said: "Xu Xuanche, King Yan of Daliang, has come to ask for surrender according to my emperor's will. I also hope that your army will stop fighting for the sake of the people of Jingchu."

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong laughed and said: "Very good, since Xiao Mian knows the current affairs, this king will not go to war without authorization", then looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Where is Xiao Mian?"

Xu Xuanche suppressed his anger, bowed his head and said: "My emperor is still in the city, and ordered me to surrender first."

Li Xiaogong nodded, Nian Xu smiled and said: "My king agrees, you go and pass the order, and order Xiao Xian to open the city immediately and welcome the army into the city."

Xu Xuanche naturally responded, this is just a process, one asks for surrender, one accepts surrender, only in rare cases, the attacking party does not accept the surrender and insists on attacking the city, that is for the purpose of looting and massacre, Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty back then This is often the case with Xue Rengao and his son.

Gao Chong instructed from the side: "Remember to block the treasury, the palace city and the city gates, and no one or property can leave the city."

Xu Xuanche's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and Li Xiaogong's face was also frozen when he saw this, and asked in a deep voice: "Why, can this not be done?" This is also necessary for the attacking party, otherwise, the city will be in chaos. The dignitaries and dignitaries fled with gold and silver belongings one after another, and it was meaningless to seize an empty city.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that a few people don't want to belong to the Tang Dynasty..." Xu Xuanche said hesitantly.

Li Xiaogong's eyes flashed sharply, and he scolded: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, all the people in the world belong to the Tang Dynasty, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they belong to the Tang Dynasty."

"You tell Xiao Mian that if he wants to retain some of Xiao Liang's reputation, it's best to appease the officials and people in the city." Gao Chong said indifferently: "Besides, if Jiangling City is in chaos, our army can't guarantee Xiao Mian's absolute safety." .

"You..." Xu Xuanche was immediately annoyed, pointing at Gao Chong and furious, but he didn't know how to refute.

Today's Jiangling City is already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, because just now I have heard the report from the Tang army's scouts entering the camp: the North Route Army is about to be a lieutenant general, and the East Route Army has passed through Fuzhou, and can arrive in Jiangling in the afternoon...Of course, Xu Xuanche didn't know, This was all arranged by Gao Chong in advance.

Xu Xuanche returned to Jiangling City angrily.

Li Xiaogong asked very interestedly: "You Zhi, you seem to have grasped the thoughts of Xu Xuanche and Xiao Mian?"

Gao Chong smiled and said: "It's very simple. Xu Xuanche is loyal to the Lord, so he wants to save Xiao Mian's life. Besides, he is very confused about his future, so he dare not offend you and me. As for Xiao Mian...", he said Gao Chong sneered disdainfully and said: "He is typical for fame, and the identity of descendant of Xiao Liang suppresses him."

Li Xiaogong nodded slowly when he heard it, and felt that it made sense. Looking at Gao Chong standing with his hands behind his back, Li Xiaogong felt emotional in his heart, after all, a sage has vision, such a hero, he was accepted as his son-in-law in advance, and he was tied to Li Tang's ship up.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaogong changed the subject, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Niang is about to give birth, and you will be a father, so we must celebrate it."

According to seniority, Li Xiaogong is Li Yuan's nephew, that is, Li Xiuwan's cousin, calling Liu Niang is very kind and not excessive.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Gao Chong's Qingjun face looking up at the sun, "Should I say it or not, I'm still a little nervous."

Li Xiaogong laughed out loud when he saw this, now that Xiao Liang had settled down, he felt extraordinarily comfortable, he immediately patted Gao Chong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is a single heir of two generations of your family, it's normal to be nervous."

They chatted and laughed and went back to the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for Xiao Xian to come to vote, but Xu Xuanche didn't wait, Kaohsiung who was outside the tent rushed into the tent.

"Ah Xiong, what's going on? You're being reckless." Gao Chong glanced at Li Xiaogong, frowned, and reprimanded him. After all, this is the Chinese army's tent.

Kaohsiung hurriedly bowed to Li Xiaogong to make amends: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Li Xiaogong waved his hands indifferently, he was not a very well-behaved person, he was extravagant by nature, there were hundreds of singers in his family, and he treated others with forgiveness and humility, so naturally he would not care about Gao Xiong's crime of collision.

Kaohsiung hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, "Lang Jun, a letter from home, double happiness."

Gao Chong was startled, he didn't see the mixed joy and sorrow on Gao Xiong's face at all, Li Xiaogong did see it, but he was not a curious person.

After opening the letter and reading it, Gao Chong was overjoyed and jumped up regardless of his appearance, "This is too coincidental, no, it should be great, I have a son, and a younger brother, no, maybe it's my sister ...".

Hearing Gao Chong's nonsense, Li Xiaogong's face was very exciting, he stood up and pointed to the Gao family attendant at the door of the tent, hesitantly said: "Yuzhi, I...do I need to avoid it?"

Gao Chong quickly said: "No, no, my lord, I have a son, mother and child are safe, and they weigh seven catties."

Li Xiaogong was also very happy: "Congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations, I must make an exception tonight and have a few drinks."

Gao Chong couldn't help nodding, pacing back and forth excitedly, "It's a good day today, Xiao Mian is broken, Gao Chong has a future, and my aunt is also broken, what a blessing."

Li Xiaogong was stunned when he heard this, Gao Chong laughed loudly when he saw this, "My lord, you don't know, I, Aye, am growing stronger and stronger, my mother is also very happy, I will have a younger brother or younger sister next year, you just said My Gao family has been single-passed for two generations, but now it is not... ".

Gao Chong was so excited that he was a little incoherent. These two news are very gratifying for a man, especially Gao Chong grew up in this era, and his spirit and psychological feelings are integrated together, and the feeling is more real.
