Seeing Song Jiang again, I was already outside Tongyi city.


    After breaking Wu Li, Song Jiang captured Jiexiu again. When he led the army to Mianshang, he only got an empty city.


    Tian Hu abandoned all the surrounding cities and concentrated his troops to defend Tongxi.


    "Meet your husband. This is general Qiu qiongying who helped the last general break Wu Li. He has married Zhang Qing. This is Manager Ye Qing." Song Jiang introduces Qiu qiongying and his wife to him.


    "I''d like to see my husband. Thank you for taking care of Uncle Ye. I don''t mind past grievances and accept civilian women." Qiu qiongying said.


    "Thank you, Mr. Xiang. I''ve worked for him for so many years. It''s a great honor to finally see him." Ye Qing also said.


    "You''re welcome, Ye Qing. You work for me. I will do what I promised you. Now Tian Hu has become a trapped animal and there is no possibility of escaping. I will do what I promised you soon, and I won''t waste your efforts over the years." Said the trick.


    "As for you, Qiu qiongying, I''m very glad that you were young and didn''t know the truth. After you break Tian Hu''s wish, you can think about the future. "


    "Thank you, sir." The two thanked.


    "Song Xianfeng, although Tian Hu is trapped in an isolated city, he has gathered all his troops and horses. His strength is not weak. We should prevent his dog from jumping over the wall and breaking through." The trick looked at Song Jiang again.


    "Don''t worry, sir. The end will be strictly defended." Song Jiang replied.


    "In this way, the west city will be handed over to you." The trick said, "I have ordered the calming army and liaozhou troops to go south and besiege the north gate; He also asked the imperial court to mobilize Hebei troops and horses to besiege the east gate; I personally stationed at the south gate. Song Xianfeng, you have the least troops. Be careful not to fall short at the last minute. "


    "Xianggong, there are still six or seven million people under Tian Hu''s command. We are besieged on all sides and don''t leave a way to live. Isn''t it forcing Tian Hu to work hard?" Song Jiang wondered, "once they die, they will cause great losses to us."


    "Yes, it''s necessary for Tian Hu to work hard." The trick was not denied. "Tian Hu claimed to be the king of Jin and made a big taboo. I won''t leave him a chance to escape. This is an explanation to the imperial court."


    "Even if he wants to work hard, he can only do it if everyone is willing. It depends on Tian Hu''s charm and how many people can accompany him to death. Otherwise, with the examples of sun an, an Renmei, Tang bin and Shan Shiqi, many people may be thinking of surrendering to the court. "


    Three days later, several armies were in place and began to clean the defense facilities outside the city and fill the moat.


    After that, Qiji didn''t attack the city immediately, but sent loud soldiers to shout to the city and publicize the strategy of Qiji to treat the Tian tiger army.


    Those who go out of the city and surrender will be exempted from death. Those who take their names will be granted to officials and barons as appropriate. Those who kill Tian Hu will be granted marquis.


    At the same time, tens of thousands of arrows were shot into the city, all tied with propaganda slogans with the words "surrender without killing".


    Sure enough, after this series of actions, people in Tongyi city were terrified for fear that the imperial army would come in the next moment.


    ……


    Jin palace.


    Tian Hu was no longer as energetic as before, and the palace was silent.


    Ye Qing betrayed Wu Li and died. Tian Hu only felt that there were so many ministers in front of him, and none of them was trustworthy.


    Since when has this happened? Tian Hu looked at the crowd and thought back.


    Perhaps it was when he wiped out half of the east of the river with the momentum of destroying the withered and decaying, claimed the king''s organizational system and rewarded the officials.


    Because of taking several states lightly, in addition to being worried about the border troops, they despised the rest of the song army and wanted to enjoy it. Only when the song army came over did they have no power to fight back, and even many generals surrendered.


    "King, you can''t just sit in distress. Don''t hesitate and break through!" The first person on the left, Niu Wenzhong, the secret envoy, advised again.


    After the news of the fall of Mianshan Daying and Huguan came, Niu Wenzhong advised Tian Hu to give up Tongyi and go to the newly rising kingdom of Jin.


    However, Tian Hu''s subordinates are all Han people after all, and they are very exclusive of defecting to other nationalities. In particular, Bian Xiang, the first person in the imperial court, the right Prime Minister of the grand master, is firmly opposed to defecting to other nationalities and asks him to go out of the city to fight.


    Bian Xiang was originally a farmer with boundless strength and outstanding martial arts. Later, he set up troops from Tian Hu and made many war achievements. He actually let him be the Supreme Master and right Prime Minister all the way. It can be seen how hasty Tian Hu''s court is. The prime minister is a reckless man born as a farmer.


    Because too many people opposed it, Tian Hu gave up going north and called together troops and horses from all over the country to gather Tongxi, ready to fight to the death.


    There are more people, but people''s hearts are more chaotic. Tian Hu found that he couldn''t find someone to trust. In addition to his two younger brothers, Niu Wenzhong can barely trust him.


    Bian Xiang, the right prime minister, who was impassioned in front of him, did not dare to trust him completely.


    But just as Niu Wenzhong said, we can''t just sit in distress. Millions of people gather in the city. People''s hearts are changeable. They may betray us sometime.


    "Niu Shumi emissary, as a Han, how can I serve other nationalities?" At this time, Bian Xiang came forward and said, "king, please go to war and meet the leopard."


    Bian Xiang and Niu Wenzhong quarreled again.


    Civil and military discord is natural. Bian Xiang will not change because he is a reckless man, unless he doesn''t care about power.


    "Two Aiqing, stop arguing." Tian Hu said, "Niu Aiqing, now the song army is surrounded by the city, and we have lost the opportunity to break through. Even if we can rush out and look around, it''s all the land of the great song dynasty. Where can we go? "


    "Since Bian Aiqing wants to fight, I will fight with you once. The order goes on. Tomorrow, the army will go out of the south gate to fight the Zhu leopard and fight alone. "


    Niu Wenzhong and Bian Xiang were surprised by Tian Hu''s decision. Unexpectedly, Tian Hu made such a great determination to go out of the city to fight in person.


    In this desperate battle, if Zhu Bao can be defeated, there is still a glimmer of hope to break the enemy, but this hope is really small.


    And if you fail, everything will rest.


    ……


    The drums rumbled.


    At dawn the next day, after a full meal, Tian Hu gave an order, and the army in Tongxi city went out of the city one after another under the leadership of a group of generals. Only Tian Bao and Tian Biao led some troops to stay.


    Millions of troops wasted a lot of time just leaving the city.


    When he learned that Tian Hu was out of the city, he ordered Song Jiang to take the opportunity and lead the army to meet him.


    On the surface, Tian Hu still has a lot of troops, five or six million people, stretching for tens of miles.


    The top generals under his command also include Niu Wenzhong, Bian Xi, Ma Ling, Li Tianxi and other fierce generals. Each of them also has many top generals, and their strength is definitely not weak. If we can unite as one, we can definitely cause great losses to the strange plan.


    But still that sentence, how many of these people are willing to die for Tian Hu?


    Tian Hu is not a man of great talent, nor does he have any special charm. People are willing to follow him to revolt because Tian Hu was powerful at the beginning, and the officials of the great Song Dynasty were too corrupt and unpopular.


    Now, seeing that Tian Hu is going to be defeated, how many people are willing to fight for him!


    They follow Tian Hu for wealth. If Tian Hu can''t give it, what else is necessary to follow?


    Isn''t it fragrant to surrender to the imperial court?


    After all, as long as we surrender, we can continue to unify the army without saying our lives. Sun an, Tang bin and others are precedents.


    ……


    The trick didn''t mean to answer Tian Hu on the battlefield. When the flag was waved, the army immediately moved and killed Tian Hu''s army.


    In this kind of battlefield, any strategy is useless. In the end, we have to fight our strength.


    Taking advantage of Tian Hu''s leaving the city, he will work hard to seize Hedong and end the war.
