A black flag was inserted on the hillside, and a large beam character was fluttered on the flag. This black flag once made the Qi people and the Turks deeply afraid, but now it can only be surrounded in the center with broken and lonely. There are only more than 200 scarred soldiers around it. Compared to the flags at the foot of the mountain, this black flag is like a grain of sand and can be submerged by the sea at any time. Unfortunately, the people surrounding them at the foot of the mountain also hold high the black flag.

The soldiers surrounded by the mountain suddenly flashed out a road. Yang Yong came to the front of the formation surrounded by Duan Da, Li Shun, Liu Hu and many elite soldiers. Seeing the broken flags on the mountain still flying high, he couldn't help but ask, "Do they refuse to surrender?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, these people are stubborn and no one is willing to surrender." Duan Da replied.

Yang Yong was silent when he heard this. Liang Shiyan and his subordinates were undoubtedly rare elite soldiers. It was a pity that they did not die in foreign wars, but died under the ambition of their boss.

Li Shun asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you want to persuade the surrender again?"

"Well, it's better to try again. Except for Liang Shiyan, the rest of the people who are willing to surrender will be exempted from death."

"Yes." Although he was almost certain that Liang Shiyan would not surrender, Li Shun still arranged the surrender matter immediately.

A strong man walked out and shouted to the mountain: "Listen to the people on the mountain, Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good life. As long as you are willing to surrender, except for the rebel Liang Shiyan, the rest can survive."

"Bah! What prince is just the son of a rebel minister who plots to usurp the throne. He can only rely on many to win." A Puzhou army cursed.

Liang Shiyan sat on the ground. He was old. In the past few days, he led his army to attack continuously. He felt pain as if his whole body had fallen apart. He heard the shouts at the foot of the mountain, and he turned to look at his subordinates. The armor on the soldiers had broken many places, covered with black blood, and his face was covered with stains. Only when his eyes were turned, it was different from the dead.

"Father, what should I do?" Liang Wu was covered in dirt, his head was unkempt, and he looked like a beggar. In the past few days, if the Puzhou army had not been trying hard to protect him, Liang Wu would have died several times.

Pu Liurujian, I didn’t expect that I could not even fight your son. Liang Shiyan couldn’t help but feel discouraged and sighed: “You take them to surrender.”

"What? Sir, you cannot surrender."

"You can't surrender. My lord, even if we can save our lives, we will end up being exiled to the frontier as soldiers. We will sooner or later die in the battle with the various tribes in the grassland. Instead of doing so, we might as well fight."

"Yes, sir, let's fight." The remaining Puzhou army stood up from the ground and shouted excitedly. Only Pei Tongmo kept silent. He secretly regretted that he followed his uncle out this time. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to serve the prince, but he did not expect that his uncle would fall into the prince's plan, and even he could not find a chance to escape.

Liang Shiyan's eyes swept across his subordinates for many years, and finally his eyes fell on Pei Tong, feeling a little regretful. If he had known this, why would he have pulled this nephew in? He felt a little moved: "Tong'er, the matter of uncle has nothing to do with you, but he has dragged you in. You can go down the mountain to explain to them that the relationship between the Pei family should be fine."

Pei Tong wanted to agree immediately, but just watched the soldiers around him staring at him, but hesitated. These days, Pei Tong already knew the soldiers' respect for Liang Shiyan. If he wanted to surrender, he would be killed immediately by everyone's angry eyes.

"Dad, what about me?" Liang Wu became anxious.

In an instant, a contemptuous look fell on Liang Wu. Although Liang Wu felt something, he was just thinking about his life but he didn't care. He said anxiously: "Or, Dad, let's surrender. The prince has always been generous. As long as we plead with the prince, the prince may not kill us."

"Shut up, you are a villain." Unexpectedly, his son was so incompetent, Liang Shiyan was so angry that he trembled all over and coughed loudly.

Xue Mo'er's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she whispered a few words in Liang Shiyan's ear. Liang Shiyan shook her head: "No, no, this will only give her head for nothing."

"Sir, it's a dead end anyway. It's better to be Bo Yibo. Even if Pu Liurujian is suspicious, he cannot produce evidence and cannot kill ministers without permission. He was originally a usurper and would be even more careful, for fear of leaving any stains. As long as the adult insists that he does not rebel, he will be punished for dismissal. The second and third princesses and their positions are not reasonable. There may be no reason to dismiss the Lord. Maybe he will have a day to make a comeback."

When talking about a few sons, Liang Shiyan felt ache, especially regretting not listening to the words of his second son Liang Gang. Now Liang Gang may be beheaded because of the involvement, and the Liang clan will start to pluck it up. It would be better to have a good idea. Even if he cannot escape death, he might leave incense for Liang. Then he nodded and responded: "Okay, Xue Changshi, you go and arrange it."

A messenger hurried to Yang Yong and shouted: "Your Highness, Liang Shiyan has agreed to surrender, but he just wants to confirm his identity."

In fact, Yang Yong was just talking casually, and even Yang Yong himself did not have hope. When he heard the call from the messenger, everyone looked at each other and almost thought that he had heard the wrong ears.

"really?"

"You can't say it wrong, are you?"

Before Yang Yong could react, Li Shun, Ji Dun, Yi Quan and other officials at all levels all began to suspicion, and the messenger felt very aggrieved: "I dare not lie. Liang Shiyan has sent his chief Xue Moer down the mountain to pay homage to His Highness."

Although Liang Shiyan only has 200 remaining soldiers now, if they want to destroy them, at least one or two hundred people will have to die. It is of course the best to be able to do not fight or surrender. Yang Yong nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, bring Xue Moer here."

Xue Moer was brought here soon. He looked at Yang Yong, suddenly knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I finally saw Your Highness." He said while crawling towards Yang Yong.

"Stop!" When Xue Moer was still several meters away from Yang Yong, the two guards held a single sword in their hands, blocking Xue Moer's path forward, staring at Xue Moer with a fierce look. Once he had anything abnormal, he would immediately wave his sword without hesitation.

Yang Yong and everyone were puzzled. Xue Moer didn't seem to surrender at all, but seemed to see his relatives. When Xue Moer saw that he was stopped by the guards, he did not dare to move forward again, but said with a twitch: "Your Highness, I thought your Highness was threatened with slander, so I had to follow Lord Liang to attack Wanrong County. Fortunately, your Highness is safe today, and I will have no regrets even if I die."

"Stop! What do you mean by saying this? Could it be that you said you did not rebel?" Lu Mulin was crying and laughing at the audience, and couldn't help asking questions.

"Rebellion? Your Highness is really a misunderstanding. We received the imperial edict from Your Highness to come to Wanrong County to pay homage to Your Highness. Unexpectedly, Wanrong County not only refused to open the door, but instead fired a secret arrow to injured Duke Hui. Duke Hui thought that it was the Magistrate of Wanrong County who rebelled and threatened to hold Your Highness. If you knew that Your Highness was safe and sound, we would never dare to attack the city. If the king wanted his ministers to die, he would have to die. Your Highness would not say that he wanted Duke Hui alone, but even if he wanted the lives of all of us, we would not dare to resist."

Xue Moer was loyal and courageous, and it seemed that something was true. When the people around him heard it, there was a loud buzzing sound and whispered. Although everyone received the imperial edict of the prince that Liang Shiyan had rebelled, they only knew the rebellion, except for a small number of people, no one else knew the details. After hearing Xue Moer's words, they couldn't help but wonder whether it was because the prince deliberately made a mistake that Liang Shiyan had a misunderstanding.

At this time, Confucianism was in diminished, and basically aristocratic families and emperors ruled the world together. Except for a few scholars, officials from ordinary families must first be loyal to their families and then to the court, and did not agree with the principle that the king wanted the ministers to die and the ministers had to die. Because of this, Emperor Xuan of Zhou was extremely debauchery, which made Yang Jian take the Sui Dynasty as a rule. After excluding Yuchi Jiong, Wang Qian, Sima Xiaonan and others, all officials of the aristocratic families calmly accepted the reality of changing dynasties.

If the prince really shot Duke of Hui on purpose and caused Duke of Hui to misunderstand, this matter would be serious. Li Shun, Ji Dun, Yi Quan and others all looked at Yang Yong with suspicious eyes.

Unexpectedly, he was bitten back. If Yang Yong had not received Pei Tong's secret letter, he would have thought that what Xue Moer said was true. Yang Yong sneered: "Misunderstanding, such a big misunderstanding, Xue Changshi, then tell me what it means to be a beast, what is the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, and my father should enjoy his old age. If he rebelled, it would undoubtedly be a way to die. Hundreds of people in the Liang family would become powder?"

Yang Yong's words seemed to be a thunderclap, and it suddenly exploded in Xue Moer's ear. This was exactly the secret words he and Liang Shiyan were in the study. How could it be heard in the prince's ears? No wonder the prince set up a plan. It's over. Now everything is over, and Xue Moer suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing that Xue Moer's arrogance was gone, Yang Yong smiled: "Xue Changshi, do you still want to survive?"

Xue Moer was excited. He was infected by the crowd on the mountain and had some passion. After going down the mountain, he was surrounded by a dense crowd of soldiers. The passion on his body quickly disappeared. Now that the prince revealed the secrets in his heart, he was even more scared and overwhelmed. Hearing that he still had a chance to survive, his thoughts on survival were suddenly enormous: "I was threatened by the Liang thief. I had no intention of rebelling. I beg Your Highness for your life and ask Your Highness for your life."
