Chapter 112

Li Guiren's mood also fluctuated several times in this battle. From the disappointment of not finding Li's army in the city at the beginning, to the slight excitement after being raided in the city, to the despair of finding his 50,000 army had long lost its combat power. He knew that this time he was almost played with by Li's army.

After resisting for a while, Li Guiren found that this battle was absolutely difficult to defeat. If he took the remaining people around him and ran back directly, according to Li Guiren's estimate, he would be able to bring back two or three thousand people. In this way, Shi Siming's guilt would be great.

This made him suddenly think of Yan Zhuang. Although the rebel soldiers at the bottom didn't know, he knew it. Yan Zhuang obviously found that he was unscrupulous when he was outside Fanyang City, so he ran away with 10,000 people. What was he going to do to run south? Li Guiren almost knew it.

After a series of ideological struggles, seeing that Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun had arrived in front of them with their men, Li Guiren simply made up his mind and shouted loudly: "We are originally rebels, and they are not good at being famous. Why not surrender to the Tang Dynasty directly? Maybe we can still obtain forgiveness!"

After saying that, Li Guiren threw his weapons on the ground first, got off the horse and knelt down on the ground and asked for surrender.

The main general suddenly surrendered. Of course, the few soldiers who were still resisting could not work hard for the Dayan anymore. At that time, they ran away and surrendered.

Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun were in high spirits when suddenly the enemy in front of him began to kneel down and surrender.

"General, Li Guiren has surrendered us and is kneeling in the city gate with several generals under his command. Please check it out."

When Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun received this news, they knew that the battle was basically over at this time. They all knew that this was just an appetizer, and the real test would not appear until after Youzhou.

Not long after, except for Zhang Xun, he was also surrounding and intercepting the rebel soldiers who wanted to run away with money. Li Guiren and other captured rebels were almost all taken to Li Yan.

Li Guiren knelt at Li Yan's feet, and knew it was time for him to express his opinion. He quickly said, "The prince doesn't know anything. I wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty outside Luoyang City. We were originally a general of the Tang Dynasty. Now we are just a member of the Tang Dynasty. Even if we recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors, we will ask the prince to take us in and wait!"

In the end, Li Guiren was already snot and tears. He knew that his destiny was in Li Lan's hands. If Li Lan was happy, he could still be a general under Li Lan's hands, but if Li Lan was unhappy, he could only appoint him to die.

"It's no problem to take you in. I will arrange these soldiers to join the team next to me tomorrow, but you... I'm afraid my arrangement may not satisfy you!"

When Li Guiren heard this, his heart suddenly stumbled. He thought that this decision would be a big deal, but he continued to cry and said to Li Qing: "Since we have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, even if the prince wants me to die, I have no complaints."

Li Gui snorted coldly, knowing that if he really let Li Guiren die, Li Guiren would not have no complaints, but would curse himself until he died.

"The surrendered people will not kill them. This is a rule since ancient times. What I mean is that I can accept you, but in my opinion, you are not suitable for leading troops to fight. If you really want to stay in my county, you will be a deputy in charge of the baggage. When I, the governor of Hebei Dao, truly mastered Hebei Dao, I will give you a county town in charge."

Although what Li Neng said was quite obscure, the best result in his life was to be the county magistrate.

"For this reason, I would like to thank the prince."

Although Li Guiren was so disappointed, but now that things have come to this point, what he said is like the water he poured out, and it is impossible to take it back.

After arranging Li Guiren and the surrendered soldiers, Li Neng moved the people who had been placed in other places back to the city overnight, and asked Zhang Xun to return the recovered property to these people in full, and made a promise in his personal name of King Jianning that as long as the property was missing, he would definitely return it no matter sooner or later.

In fact, the people really don’t think about asking Li Yan to return the lost things, because if Li Yan were not there, when the rebels arrived, they would not know how much property and life would be lost.

After settling down, Li Qing did not order to continue to go to Youzhou immediately, but ordered to rest for two days in Yangxin City to make up for the energy wasted of fighting with the enemy before.

"Prince Prince, Yan Zhuang came to join him with his troops before, but you trusted him quite a lot. Why is Li Guiren also joining now, but you don't value him? I still know this person. If it is used properly, I don't know how much stronger it is to lead troops to fight in wars."

The next day, Zhang Xun had some questions about Li Neng's behavior. He had no intention of making a frustrated Li Guiren, but he felt that he didn't understand Li Neng's operations very well.

"Yan Zhuang took ten thousand men and horses to escape from the rebels first. He could not come and defect to me at all. Since he came, I naturally had to treat him with courtesy. But Li Guiren is a bit cunning. What he thought in his heart was how much benefit he could get. In Yangxin City, he could actually think of such a dirty thing to let his soldiers go to the people's mansion to plunder money and property. As the saying goes, if you are a dog, you can't change your shit. If such a person holds an important position in our army, it would not be a good thing!"

When Zhang Xun heard what Li Neng said, he immediately understood that Li Neng's requirements for his generals were obviously the same as when the soldiers were selected. He would rather be insignificant than to be abusive. People with problems with their moral character would definitely not be able to develop much under his command.

"What the prince said is very much. Apart from that, we really don't rush to attack Youzhou?"
