Han ride

Chapter 223
Su Yougong glanced at the crowd, and saw that although there was no change in expression on the faces of the crowd, there was a faint glimmer of light in their eyes, and he felt even more resentful.The so-called abandoning the dark and turning to the bright is not a simple surrender, but a price to be paid. There is the so-called certificate of surrender, or the army under his command, or a city, or the head of the boss.

If it was in the past, Su Yougong would naturally not believe that his generals would surrender, but now it is different, Changshan Island is besieged, although there is some food and grass, but these food and grass will definitely be eaten up, the enemy will not wait. When you are patient, you will attack forcefully, and Mao Chenglu has been defeated, and the rest of these people can only wait to die.That's why these generals wanted to surrender, but they were worried that if other people objected, they would definitely die. Right now, they are still waiting and watching, but this kind of waiting and watching won't last long.

"Ahem, this matter is of great importance. Although the general is the leader of an army, it is not easy to make decisions on these matters. Your envoy, please wait a moment." Su Yougong was sweating behind his back, looking at the envoy's face There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.In normal times, how would he pay attention to such a soldier-like figure.It's just that there is no way right now.

"That's very good." The envoy nodded upon hearing the words, glanced at everyone, with a hint of disdain on his face, and left the hall under the protection of several personal soldiers.

"Everyone, now we should add up the total. Whether it is war or surrender, we have to have an explanation." After the messenger left the hall, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange. People talk, just bow their heads.Su Yougong had no choice but to speak by himself.

"But according to the general's orders." The flower ginseng general said hurriedly, clasping his hands.Others also spoke out one after another, saying that they would obey Su Yougong's orders, but the strangeness in their eyes made Su Yougong's heart even colder.

He believed that once he said something like refusing to surrender, these people would buy him off as soon as they left, cut off his head and went to Li Xin to seek wealth.

"Li Xin is very powerful right now. We are trapped on Changshan Island, and there is no news from the military sect. Although we are loyal to the military sect, we should work for the military sect." Su Yougong coughed twice, but his eyes were secretly scanning Everyone glanced at each other, and seeing disapproval expressions on everyone's faces, and some even had a murderous look in their eyes, they immediately knew that there was nothing to be done, sighed in their hearts, and then said, "It's just that the brothers below are all Follow us. It doesn't matter if we live or die, but most of the brothers below are family members, we can't let them lose their lives."

"Yes, yes, what the general said is very true." Sure enough, as soon as Su Yougong finished speaking, someone loudly agreed.The other generals also joined in.Everyone is a smart person, what Su Yougong said was sweet, but in fact, everyone knew that Su Yougong was going to surrender.Everyone was naturally happy when they thought of saving their lives.

"However." Seeing that everyone was so happy, Su Yougong raised his voice again, and said, "Brothers, although we surrendered to Li Xin, we must not let Li Xin underestimate us." If you want to be valued, who wouldn't want to seal your wife and Yinzi!
"I don't know what the general's opinion is?" General Hua asked.

"Who Li Xin is, everyone must know. We surrendered to Li Xin, not the court." Su Yougong snorted coldly: "We surrendered to the court, God knows what those officials will do to us, but we surrendered to Li Xin." Xin is different. Although Li Xin has extremely powerful soldiers and horses, most of them are cavalry, and there are very few sailors. We surrender to Li Xin's command, and the soldiers and horses under his command cannot be disturbed. Outside Changshan Island, there must be Li Xin too. Some soldiers, if our troops are disrupted by Li Xin, can we still be generals? What do you generals think of what I said?"

"What the general said is true. It's just our request. Will Li Xin agree to it?" One of the generals asked hesitantly. This kind of request is obviously like preserving strength.

"He will definitely agree." With a mysterious smile on Su Yougong's face, he pointed to the outside and said, "Although Li Xin has a navy in his hand, whose navy is it? It is the navy of the imperial court, everyone. Brother, don’t you think that General Li Xin is really loyal to the Ming Dynasty?”

There was a hint of sarcasm on everyone's face.What kind of character is Li Xin? Li Xin sits in the grassland, has 10,000+ soldiers, and appoints officials in Yunzhong Mansion without authorization. Now he is short of declaring himself a rebel.It's just that this person is smarter than Kong Youde. Kong Youde took the lead in raising the flag of rebellion, so he was suppressed by the court, but Li Xin was not. This is why he is smart.

"Li Xin doesn't have a navy from the imperial court, he can only rely on us, so our navy is still our navy. Li Xin will not get involved with our navy." Su Yougong said confidently.

"Haha, when the time comes, I can still gather together and wait for the general to dispatch." General Hua and others nodded and said.Although following Li Xin has a bright future, it is difficult to become Li Xin's direct descendants because they surrendered in the past. Even if everyone has dirty things in private, they all surrendered together. look forward to.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's invite Li Xin's messenger!" Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Yougong hurriedly ordered someone to invite someone to invite the messenger to come.

"How about it, everyone, I don't know if you have thought about it?" A moment later, the messenger walked in swaggeringly. There was no look of fear on his face, but he asked with a smile.

"Dare to ask the messenger's name. If everyone under the general's command is like a messenger, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be a soldier when I'm under the general's command." Seeing the messenger's appearance, Su Yougong suddenly smiled wryly.

"Chu Yun next week, under the order of my lord, came to persuade the generals to surrender. I don't know if the generals are willing to submit to my lord." The messenger laughed.He glanced at everyone.

"Zhou Chuyun?" Everyone's hearts moved, thinking about who this Zhou Chuyun was, could it be that he was a famous person?However, no one thought of this at the moment.

"I'm willing to surrender, willing to surrender." Everyone said quickly.

"In this case, all of you can go ashore with me and meet the lord. As for the navy, it is temporarily assigned to the command of the navy general Gu Sanmazi. After meeting the lord, the generals will naturally be appointed." Zhou Chuyun nodded and said.

"This?" Su Yougong's face changed when he heard this, he didn't expect that Li Xin really had a navy establishment under his command.What's more, I didn't expect that Li Xin would summon everyone to go ashore, and he would hand over the army. He didn't have an army in his hands. What if Li Xin went back on his word, what should he do?Everyone couldn't help hesitating, subconsciously looking at Su Yougong.

"Why, do you have any doubts? Or do you generals think that the lord will turn back and kill you all?" Zhou Chuyun said disdainfully: "My lord travels from north to south, if he didn't have a heart for the lives of the soldiers, how could he surrender you?" Wait."

"Don't dare, dare not." Everyone said quickly after hearing this.

On June [-]rd of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Su Yougong led a navy of [-] soldiers from Changshan Island to surrender to Li Xin, and Li Xin appointed him as the deputy commander of the navy, under the command of Gu Sanmazi.
