Chapter 195 Surrender
"Which turtle son's order is issued? I'll kill him." Seeing his subordinates involuntarily leaving the battlefield with weapons and retreating to the rear, Chen He couldn't help but walk backwards, swearing while walking, hoping to kill the person who was calling out to the gold.
"I can only be considered a turtle, you are the turtle's son." Chen Hongjin personally carried the golden gong and knocked while walking. If he didn't surrender, his Chen family would really have to go to the mine.
"Dad, why are you? What are you doing?" Chen He was anxious and put the blood-stained sword into the sheath. Even if he was red in his eyes, he would not be able to wave his sword at his father. His sword skills were taught by his father, so he probably wouldn't be able to win.
"Surrender, there is no need to continue to fight, which will only increase casualties. My son, Dad, let's teach you another way. When judging the situation, you must fight to the death. The Jianzhou Army has occupied the city and we cannot defeat them anymore. Why do you have to let your sons die? The Jianzhou Army is not cruel and unkind. Everyone can put down their weapons and live a peaceful life. Let's give up this matter." Chen Hongjin has ambition? Of course, there is, but he is more rational. Since his ambition is impossible to achieve, why should he let his subordinates be buried with his ambitions? Chen Hongjin is not so selfish.
When the Southern Tang Dynasty entered Quanzhou, why did he and Zhang Hansi follow Liu Congxiao and drive away the Southern Tang forces and separatist the side alone? It was mainly because the Southern Tang army was too plundering at that time, so they couldn't stand it, so they naturally responded. However, the Jianzhou army was different. Chen Hongjin still admired Sun Yu, and surrendered if he couldn't beat him. There was nothing to be ashamed. He had the intention to surrender before, but he was unable to make up his mind after all. Now that the defeat has been revealed, he might as well go with the flow.
"Dang~Dang~Dang~Dang~" Chen Hongjin beat the golden gong while walking. Regardless of Chen He's face full of disbelief, it would probably take him a long time to accept this fact. After all, he never thought that his father would surrender.
When the sound of gold sounded, the Jianzhou Army subconsciously stopped and did not chase the enemy troops in the retreating place. This was an unwritten unspoken rule on the battlefield.
"Old Cheng, what do you mean?" Chen Qiba pointed at Chen Hongjin who was pounding the gong while walking forward. This style is not right. It's a serious war. What's going to make a fuss?
"Surrender? We are just getting the upper hand." Cheng Zhenbei was not sure of it. The winner was not decided yet. Besides, even if Tong'an County could not defend, it could still return to Zhangzhou. Why did he suddenly withdraw his troops now?
"Why don't you go up and ask?" Sun Yu was not there. Cheng Zhenbei, the highest-ranking person in the city, said to him.
Cheng Zhenbei looked at Gan Yue and Bai Yong not far from the left and right, and signaled him to go and take a look. He could only carry a big axe and push the crowd away and walk forward.
"General Chen, what is this in front of the two armies?" Cheng Zhenbei asked, standing behind a row of large shields in the front, revealing only half of his head. There were countless enemy troops opposite. Cheng Zhenbei was confident, but he was not that stupid. He just stood out like this and might die in an instant.
"The opposite side is Captain Cheng under Lord Sun's command? I'm polite here. Please tell Lord Sun that we are willing to surrender!" Chen Hongjin knew that the general under Sun Yu's command had a size and a big axe that blocked half of his face, and it must be Cheng Zhenbei.
"Take it seriously?" Cheng Zhenbei heard it sincerely, but he still couldn't believe it. The battle was over? Zhang and Quanzhou were all pacified.
"Of course it's true. I only have one requirement. My subordinates will stay and stay free." Chen Hongjin was cunning and did not compete for his own profits at all, but only considered his subordinates. Because he knew that Sun Yu would definitely continue to retain these middle and lower-level soldiers. This was also considered to be a bit of incense. Moreover, in order to make his subordinates return, Sun Yu would definitely not treat him harshly.
"Okay, since that's the case, you can get off the city and I'll go back to report to the master, and he will decide." Cheng Zhenbei was also afraid of being right.
It is a delaying strategy. Since it is a surrender, you have to show sincerity. You will take over the city first. Even if it is a delaying strategy, you will not lose.
"Okay, it's a matter of determination. I'll wait for the good news from Captain Cheng below." Chen Hongjin did not drag on the slightest, and directly let the soldiers around him go down with him. The originally crowded city was instantly empty.
Cheng Zhenbei walked down the siege car and went to find Sun Yu. The other three were not idle either and occupied all the city heads, and immediately arranged their men. Even if the other party had conspiracies, they were not afraid.
Sun Yu below already knew that something was wrong with the city. He rode on the fire and walked forward with his personal military camp. He happened to see Cheng Zhenbei coming off the siege car. He immediately grabbed the horse's belly and the fire started running instantly.
"Sir, that old boy Chen Hongjin said he wanted to surrender and asked me to come down and ask what you mean." Liehuo's movement was so conspicuous that Cheng Zhenbei naturally saw it at a glance. He quickly walked up to him and asked, waiting for a reply.
"What conditions?" Sun Yu was not surprised at all. He probably had no other way except for the enemy surrendering. He asked his four chief captains to stop fighting without his own orders.
"The soldiers under his command come and go freely. As for him and his family, I didn't mention it." Cheng Zhenbei shook his head. Chen Hongjin didn't realize that he was actually a sympathetic subordinate.
"It's treacherous enough, but it's okay. Go and go up!" Sun Yu knew Chen Hongjin's thoughts when he heard this. He expected that he would not make things difficult for him, otherwise it would be difficult to convince people's hearts. As long as he truly surrendered, Sun Yu was not afraid of him going out of the sky.
Just as the Qingyuan Army soldiers were waiting anxiously, a strong man carrying an exaggerated mace walked down the city, with every step steadily, without any panic in front of the two armies.
Chen Hongjin recognized this person as the thug under Zhang Hansi's previous command, and he was quite famous. Now that he has joined Sun Yu's command, his temperament is earth-shaking. If he hadn't known about this, he wouldn't have dared to recognize it.
"General Chen, my master asked you to go up and talk in detail." The evil dog walked up to Chen Hongjin, knocked the mace to the ground, and clasped his fists and said.
"No, dad, you can't go." Chen He grabbed Chen Hongjin and went up there. There were all people from Jianzhou Army. If the other party had any thoughts, he would not even have a chance to escape.
"Let go, I'm afraid of being a bullshit. I'll come when I go. Can you think Lord Sun is a bandit?" Chen Hongjin said angrily. If he doesn't go up, he still hopes that Sun Yu will come down? You can't be alone on top and one on bottom. Both sides will be talking about things. There must be some transactions that cannot be put on the table, which is too inconvenient.
"Nephew, your father is right. My Sun Yu, the court's official, will not be so mean. General Chen, I have prepared tea. Please come up and talk." Sun Yu stood at the top of the city and poked out half of his body and said.
"I'll come here." Chen Hongjin bowed to the top and walked up with the evil dog.
Sun Yu held all the left and right back and invited Chen Hongjin to sit down. It was considered a good deal between the two sides, but this was the first time that they had such a close contact.
"Mr. Sun, I don't know how you think about it?" Chen Hongjin didn't politely, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but there was no snack. He got up before dawn in the morning and set off. He just arrived and was so hungry that he screamed.
"Of course, I accept General Chen's surrender, but there are some things that I have to talk about." Sun Yu found that Chen Hongjin had obviously lost his temper, and he couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent. Although he was cheated by himself when he was in Tingxia Pass before, he was full of energy.
"Mr. Sun, what do you want to talk about? I want to disband all the soldiers, take off my armor and return to the field, and be an ordinary rich man in the future." Chen Hongjin shook his head and looked at Sun Yu opposite him. He obviously felt that he was old. Once upon a time, he had not yet.
Take the other person seriously.
"Such good soldiers will be disbanded and will be with farm tools all day long in the future? Besides, they are not your General Chen. They have thousands of acres of fertile land in their family and don't have to worry about food and drink." The recruitment is also a matter of recruitment. It is better to select these people and reorganize them into various regiments. The combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than the new recruits.
"If you want to recruit soldiers under Chen, you might as well take my son Chen He together. Then this matter is easy. Besides, Lord Sun has always called my son Chen He a virtuous nephew, so you might as well support him." Chen Hongjin himself did not plan to fight on the battlefield again, but his son is a good seedling. If he goes home to farm, he will probably be useless.
"Haha, General Chen, are you waiting for me here. Chen He's nephew, I have to think about it again and see how to settle it, but Chen Qisi can consider it." Sun Yu attaches great importance to Chen Qisi. Although his personal combat power may not be as good as Chen He, he is brave in combat and is not afraid of death. He has repeatedly cut off the rear for Chen Hongjin.
"The truth is in your hands?" Chen Hongjin was stunned. He was actually taken by Sun Yu, so why didn't he ask for money?
"Of course, I wanted to sell some silver, but Chen He's nephew didn't accept it, so I could only leave it for my own use." Sun Yu spread his hands, and the situation was the best now. If Chen Hongjin was really killed, Chen Qisi would not dare to use it.
"Oh, okay. Is Lord Sun going to build a fleet to go out to sea?" Chen Hongjin sighed. Chen He was guarding against Chen Qisi all day long, but he didn't expect that he would intercept him in the end. This is fate. Sun Yu would never be able to use Chen He and Chen Qisi as generals in the army at the same time, as that would inevitably lead to unstable morale in the army. Since he fell in love with Chen Qisi, Chen He would have no chance.
"General Chen is very knowledgeable." Sun Yu picked up the teacup and slapped it. He said that it was originally four major families, but now there are only three families left. The Chen family was removed, and Chen Hongjin asked about this in person, which was really embarrassing.
"The sea is vast and its territory is far beyond the land. The fleet traverses all over the sea, and it is all handed over to the hands of the three major families. Can you trust me? My son Chen He also traverses the sea in his early years, and it is impossible to get mixed with the three major families." Since the army has no chance, I will think of a solution for the fleet and have to try it again.
"I have appointed Song Wumian, the eldest son of the Song family, as the navy's lieutenant. If Chen He is willing to surrender, he can take the post of deputy lieutenant as his deputy." Sun Yu felt that Chen Hongjin was right. If he did not give him some restrictions, he would inevitably cause trouble in the future. Although all the soldiers in the navy will be provided by the new recruits in the future, these people lack experience after all. Chen He is different. He is considered a match for Song Wumian. If he uses these two people well, he will be able to rest assured.
"Okay, Lord Sun is quick and easy. I will go on here and let all the soldiers take off their armor and surrender." Chen Hongjin did not delay. He made the decision and went all the way to the dark, no longer hesitating.
Shortly after Chen Hong entered the city wall, the entire team began to place all their weapons on the ground, helping each other take off their armor, and waiting for the reorganization of the Jianzhou Army above.
Gan Yue took his fifth regiment and went down the first place to take away all the armor and weapons of the Qingyuan Army soldiers, then opened the city gate, and the Qingyuan Army soldiers lined up and all left the city to accept reorganization.
The reorganization lasted for three days, and the elderly and weak and unqualified people were eliminated. A total of more than 8,000 people were recruited. Because the Seventh Regiment was established, they were prepared to be handed over to Chen Qisi. The Jianzhou Army is still dissatisfied with the organization.
At present, the entire Jianzhou Army has seven combat corpses, one baggage regiment, two cavalry battalions and personal guard battalions, with a total strength of more than 40,000. In addition to the cities where the corps are stationed, there are also a small number of garrisons in other counties, most of which are mainly veterans who have been seriously injured and retired. The county government recruited some young and strong training.
