After pondering for a long time, Deng Dang could not stand the pressure from the generals and the school, and decided to lead the crowd to surrender.

On the other hand, the war has been in stalemate for more than a month and a half, and the war has greatly affected the livelihoods of the people in the Jianghuai River.

As a JAC person, he was naturally unbearable.

Naturally, with the coercion of the generals, he also followed the situation and agreed to surrender to Yuan Jun.

To take a step back, he and Yuan Jun were just simply serving their own masters before, and had no personal grudges. Now that the war is not good, it seems that there is no big deal to join the city.

Yuan Jun’s main business.

Yuan Yao was wearing a Confucian robe on his body, quietly sitting on the main seat, with a handwritten letter sent by Deng Dang in his palm. After reading it carefully, he laughed loudly and said to the generals:

"Everyone, the enemy general Deng Dang has written a letter wishing to surrender himself, and Shouchun has been settled."

A few words fell, but it was like a string that inspired the crowd, which immediately made the generals rise up happily.

They were naturally extremely excited at this moment.

Because they followed Mr. Yuan, whom they respected the most, pacified the various places of Shouchun in just about one and a half months.

Shouchun is the capital of Jiujiang County and the capital of Yangzhou, located in the hinterland of Huainan.

When Shouchun is settled, then Jianghuai is settled.

However, they also made outstanding achievements, and when they were enthroned, they would naturally be far from rewarding official titles.

In this way, how can you not be happy?

"We congratulate the young master on his first command of his soldiers and his achievements in conquering the prefectures and counties."

"We admire the young master very much!"

For a moment, the generals bowed their hands and shouted in unison.

Seeing the flattery of the crowd, Yuan Yao still waved his hand to stop, and then turned his head to Cui Zhouping on the side, saying, "Sir, I'm going to prepare some things to be surrendered. I'll be there to arrange troops outside the city gate tomorrow to welcome the enemy's expedition to surrender."

"Here."

"Jun is going to prepare now."

Upon hearing the news, Cui Zhouping immediately bowed his hand to receive the order and slowly retreated.

...

The next day.

At noon, the chief general Deng Dang stood tall at the gate of the north city of Shouchun with the military talisman used by the army and the generals and schools, quietly waiting for Yuan's arrival.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the flag that was rushing towards Yuan Jun gradually appeared in front of everyone.

After a while, Yuan Yao was wearing strong clothes and galloping forward, and guarding Yuan Jiao and his personal guard Xu Chu stood inseparably from the left and right sides to protect him at any time.

Since he was on the north bank of the Huai River that day, he was completely unprepared and was plundered by the water thief Zhou Tai because of his carelessness. Since this incident has passed, Yuan Yao has brought Xu Chu with him anytime and anywhere, without separation.

Your own safety is the most important thing.

If your life is gone, how can you say that you will dominate the world?

After all, not everyone is Zhou Tai who has long been surrendered to him. What if he suddenly encounters a robber who kills without blinking an eye?

When he thought of this, Yuan Yao suddenly attached importance to his own life and safety.

Before he reached the front, before Yuan Yao jumped off his war horse, Deng Dangdang came quickly with the generals and high-ranking soldiers and shouted loudly:

"Our defeated generals are willing to surrender the young master, and they will obey the young master's resolutions and arrangements in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Dang handed over the military talisman without hesitation.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao quickly jumped off his horse and quickly walked forward to take the military talisman and handed it to Yuan Jiao from the side. He immediately helped Deng Dang up and comforted him:

"Haha. Yao has heard of the name of the general. Today, the general raised the city and surrendered. I don't like Shouchun, but I'm happy to win the general!"

With a hearty laugh, Yuan Yao said loudly from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing this, Deng Dang immediately showed a look of flattery and bowed: "The last general is just a defeated general, but he cannot be praised by the young master like this."

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled and said, "General is humble. You can use these more than a thousand county soldiers in your hands and the temporary recruitment of the people guarding the city to compete with our army. The defense lines arranged are neat and moderate, with both offense and defense."

"This is already a talent for a good general!"

"Yao likes to interact with heroes the most in his life. Now the general is willing to join me. In the future, we will gain fame and fortune together."

With Yuan Yao's comforting words, Deng Dang suddenly felt his body and mind light.

He thought that after surrender, he would definitely be sarcastic from Yuan Jun or even Yuan Yao, but the result was... very unexpected...

Yuan Yao did not seem to belittle him, but instead valued him very much.

This immediately made him feel a sense of passion for "a scholar who dies for his confidant".

After appeased Deng Dang's emotions, he also met with other generals and encouraged them to fight bravely in the future, work hard to achieve success and achieve fame.

A brief voice.

Yuan Yao then captured the morale of the Yangzhou army.

This scene made Cui Zhouping, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling and other generals even more admire him.

This is their young master!

Not only is he outstanding in command of the soldiers, but his ability to soothe people's hearts is also first-class.

only.

For safety reasons, Yuan Yao did not bring his people into the city as soon as possible, but instead signaled Xu Chu from the side with his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Chu immediately understood, so he quickly waved his sword, and more than a hundred personal guards under his command formed a formation and walked quickly towards the city with firm steps.

Their mission is to investigate the military situation for the army and to enter the city to detect whether there are any ambushes from the enemy.

Although Yuan Yao believed that Deng Dang's move might be a sincere surrender, for the sake of safety, he chose to send soldiers into the city to investigate first.

After all, your life is the most important thing.

As the saying goes, "people's hearts are unpredictable", he cannot be lucky.

Moreover, even though Deng Dang sincerely asked for surrender, will all the generals and schools under his command be in the same mood as him?

Therefore, after experiencing the incident of being tied up in Huai River, Yuan Yao had already restrained his mind and became more and more mature in terms of calmness.

Seeing the Yuan soldiers entering the city first, Deng Dang naturally knew it very well.

But this is also human nature. After all, he is a new person and has not yet surrendered to others. Yuan Yao is vigilant, so it is naturally understandable!

Wait for a long time.

When the Yuan army flag was slowly raised on the city wall and the personal guards waved themselves on the wall to show that everything was normal in the city, Xu Chu, who was next to him, bowed:

"Young Master Qi, everything is normal in the city."

"Okay! You all come into the city with me."

Immediately, Yuan Yao put down his vigilance and whispered loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the generals and surrendered generals followed Yuan Yao into the city. As for the Yuan army, they were scattered in the northern suburbs of Shouchun, looking for a flat and water source to camp.

At this point, with the pacification of Shouchun, the pacification of Huainan is not far away!

The Yuan family gradually opened up the land of Huainan.
Chapter completed!
