Chapter 627 Surrender
Not long after, Murong Teng entered Wanren Pass again.

"General Murong, are you here to deliver an ultimatum?" Li Chong asked with a painful expression.

"No, I'm here to persuade you to surrender." Murong Teng said with a smile.

"To persuade you to surrender, hehe, my family members are under the control of others, so I dare not surrender, please forgive me, General." Li Chong shook his head and said resolutely.

"What if we can guarantee that after you surrender to our army, your family members are still safe and sound?"

When Li Chong heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharper, "Is it safe? I wonder how your army can guarantee it?"

Murong Teng laughed and said: "My lord has already thought of a clever plan. After you return to our army, our army will declare that you have died in battle. Cao Ziyan, he must not blame the family members of the loyal soldiers who died for him. Right? After I, Hengshan, have rescued your family members, you will officially resume your identity. I don’t know if this will be done, do you think it’s possible?”

When everyone heard the words, their eyes couldn't help but brighten up. If so, it would be the best way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Li Chongwang looked at the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted together: "The last general is waiting, but the general's orders are to be obeyed."

Li Chong smiled wryly, "In that case, General Murong, let's talk about the method of surrender."

Murong Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately told everyone about Lin Yifan's plan.

The next day, Cao Jun in Wanren Pass suddenly rioted.Li Chong and other generals led troops to hunt and kill Cao Ziyan's eyeliner everywhere, announcing to the public that these people were all traitors who wanted to take the opportunity to surrender to Hengshan.After Cao Ziyan's eyeliner in the army found danger, he immediately rose up to resist, and the two soldiers fought together.

After several hours of cleaning, Li Chong finally removed all those eyeliners.Immediately, these generals all dressed up as ordinary soldiers in the city and mixed in.

When the soldiers of the whole army suddenly found that the generals could not be found, they suddenly fell into chaos. Everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do.Just then, rumors started to spread secretly, accusing Cao Ziyan of abandoning them.As soon as this remark came out, the whole army became even more chaotic.Afterwards, someone shouted to surrender, and after a while, the gate opened, and countless Cao soldiers threw away their weapons, raised their hands, and ran towards the Hengshan barracks.

The fearful generals of the Cao army watched these reckless comrades, thinking that they were about to be killed by the Hengshan army.Unexpectedly, the Hengshan army brought them into the camp, but after a while, they saw these comrades who had just entered come out again, wrapped in thick fur coats, holding hot meals in their hands, coming When he reached the gate, he held up a big bowl and shouted loudly: "What are you waiting for? If you don't surrender quickly, the fur coat will be gone in a while, and the hot meat rice will be gone. If you want to eat and wear warm, Hurry up!"

As he said that, he actually sat under the closed wall, slurping his food, and the aroma floated to the wall, and many people smelled it.

"Xixi, it smells like meat, are they really eating meat?"

"Gulu, damn it, I haven't smelled meat for a month, ah, it smells so good."

"And their fur coat, mother, I can't stand it, if I stay any longer, I will freeze, I'm leaving."

"I'll go as well!". . . . .

Soon, the soldiers who couldn't stand the temptation walked out of the closed door one after another.At this time, there was no one blocking the door.

When the new batch of Cao troops entered the Hengshan barracks, they soon came wearing fur coats and carrying rice bowls. Like the previous group, they sat in the gate, persuading and eating comfortably.

This time, many people couldn't sit still and rushed out of the pass.

In this way, as more and more people surrendered to the Hengshan Army, the rest of the people seemed to let go of their worries and surrendered to the Hengshan Army one after another.

In just one day, tens of thousands of people at Wanren Pass surrendered.Lin Yifan temporarily placed them in the military camp outside the pass, and released news to the outside world, listing the results of this battle. Of course, the news that Li Chong and other generals were "killed" was also displayed on it.

After the army took control of Wanren Pass, Lin Yifan ordered people to open the north gate to welcome Qin Yuanhao's troops into the pass.

After the two armies rested in Guanzhong for a day, Lin Yifan ordered Qin Yuanhao to lead [-] soldiers to the south to replace Yang Mingyuan and station at the bank of the Longjiang River to prevent Cao's army from going north.Yang Mingyuan returned to Mingzhou to preside over the overall situation of Mingzhou.

After the arrangement was completed, Lin Yifan led the cavalry, escorted Cao Jun's surrendered troops, and marched towards the former city of Suiyuan, Nanjing.

When he came to Suiyuan City, Lin Yifan divided Cao's army of tens of thousands into five armies, and sent them to the five prefectures on the grassland that had just stabilized.

Now on the grassland, the strength of the Hengshan Army is too weak, and the source of troops inside Hengshan can no longer be drawn at will.Lin Yifan had no choice but to scatter the 13 descended Cao troops all over the grassland and use them to assist Hengshan in guarding and maintaining stability.

In order to prevent them from gathering and rioting, Lin Yifan broke them up into countless groups of soldiers and horses, and placed them on the pastures in various pastoral areas.In this unfamiliar place, they had no choice but to rely on Hengshan officials.What's more, there are grassland cavalry conscripted in to deter them. He believes that without the instigation of high-level generals, it is impossible for these low-level Cao soldiers to rebel.

In order to appease their anxiety, Lin Yifan also told them frankly that Hengshan needed them to maintain the stability of the grassland at this time.The garrison here is only temporary. After the grassland stabilizes, they can be allowed to return to the Central Plains.Through various promises and discounts, the descending army was finally stabilized and stayed on the grassland with peace of mind.

At the same time, when the news of the Hengshan Army's breach of Wanren Pass reached the capital, Cao Ziyan hated Li Chong and the others for their incompetence, but at the same time could only give relief to their families.

Now that Yanzhou has been taken, the Hengshan Army no longer has to worry about flanking, while Cao Ziyan has been attacked in three places and is in a passive position.What made him even more distressed was that although Leizhou had made significant progress, the Leizhou army was forced to the line of defense against Tianyun, but the terrain there was dangerous and there were many fortresses. Annihilate the Leizhou army.

Now that Hengshan has destroyed Donghu and captured Yanzhou, the situation is very unfavorable to Cao Ziyan, so he has to gather his troops and fully guard against the front of Hengshan's army.

But this is not what worries him the most, the real hidden danger lies inside.As Hengshan destroyed Donghu, he took over the vast grassland as his own.The whole world suddenly became a sensation, and public opinion gradually tilted towards Hengshan.why?Because of the huge threat of the northern grasslands, it has been hanging over the Central Plains for thousands of years.Now, a Central Plains separatist force actually wiped out Donghu in one fell swoop and cut off the greatest disaster in the Central Plains. With such a feat, people can't help but think that Lin Yifan, the lord of Hengshan, is the man of destiny.

This is serious, if the people all over the world think that Lin Yifan bears the destiny, then what is he?Rebellious ministers and thieves?

When Cao Ziyan thought of this, his body trembled involuntarily, and he cried out in the depths of his heart: "No, I am the one chosen by destiny, it is me!"
