Chapter 583 Huan Qi is captured and Sun Tai surrenders
Hearing this, Huan Qi laughed loudly and shouted angrily,
"You shameless Yan thief, you invaded my land, killed my comrades, and drowned 500,000 of my Great Qin's elite soldiers in a despicable and shameless manner. Your victory was not fair!
You still want me, Huan Qi, to surrender to you? You're dreaming! "
However, Guan Shouchang was neither angry nor annoyed, because the prince said that the curses and roars of the weak are praises to the strong.
"Huan Qi, Deputy General Huan, the two armies were engaged in battle, each serving its own master. Guan used a brilliant strategy to annihilate the enemy without bloodshed, allowing our army to achieve a resounding victory and minimizing the casualties among our brothers. How can this be considered shameless?
Does Guan have to drag his brothers over to fight you, causing countless casualties among his own brothers, in order to be considered a gentleman?
If killing one's brothers is the way to be a gentleman, then Guan would rather not be a gentleman! "
"A cunning villain, shameless!"
Huan Qi glared at Guan Shouchang.
Guan Shouchang stroked his beard, laughed, and said,
“I don’t know if Bai Wuan told you what he discussed with the prince last time he returned.
Guan can tell you that, back then, the prince made a bet with General Bai, and the prince directly stated that he would use tactics of sowing discord to sow discord between the Emperor of Qin and General Bai.
If General Bai had not been transferred and stripped of his military power and position, then my prince would have lost, and would have to retreat in future battles with the Qin army.
If General Bai is removed from office, it means that General Bai has lost. When our army captures Xianyang City in the future, General Bai will surrender to us and join our army.
Our army will give him 100,000 Qin elite prisoners, form a large army, let him take control of the military power again, and unify the world for Dayan.
I think you know very well that your emperor is a jealous and narrow-minded person. As expected, we won.
Now, General Bai is waiting for us in Xianyang City.
Not only will we not kill him, but we will be his colleagues in the future.
I've heard that you are the most valued person under Marshal Bai. I'm sure Marshal Bai doesn't want to see you killed by us."
Huan Qi sneered,
"Are you so kind? You tricked Bai Shuai out just to carry out your plan of sowing discord!
Now that you've succeeded, how can you still be nice to him? "
Guan Shouchang laughed, pointed at the people behind him and said,
“As everyone knows, the Emperor and the Prince of Great Yan are the most tolerant and broad-minded. As long as a person is capable and loyal, no matter where he or she is from, he or she will be given important positions.
Behind me, Marshal Chen Qing is a Kunren, and the legion under his command is also a pure Kunren legion.
This is General Zhao Biao. He is from Liang and is your old rival. The 50,000 White Horse Army under his command is also a pure Liang army.
Looking further east, Marshal Yu Huatian’s Tianyu Army and Marshal Nie Bei’s Feiying Army are all Kun people’s commanders and soldiers.
Marshal Yu Ziling is from Qi, and all his soldiers are from Qi.
We have people from Yan, Kun, Liang, and Qi in our army, so why can't we have one more person from Qin?
The Qin elite soldiers are unrivaled in combat power, and we both desire and fear them. Otherwise, Guan would not have been so afraid to lead the Yan army to fight the Qin people to the death."
Guan Shouchang flattered and reasoned with Huan Qi. After hearing this, Huan Qi's eyes became complicated. He looked at the people in front of him solemnly and asked,
"You really won't kill Bai Shuai?"
"Of course, Bai Shuai is still waiting for us at home."
Huan Qi hesitated for a long time, threw the sword to the ground, and said,
"Guan Shouchang, remember, I, Huan Qi, was captured by you, not surrendered. I will see Marshal Bai someday.
If General Bai surrenders, I will surrender too. If General Bai prefers death to surrender, then you can kill us all together."
"Hahahaha, no problem, no problem. Come, take Vice Marshal Huan down to heal his wounds. Everyone else, go and rescue the others."
"It's just a minor injury, it will be fine after a bandage. How do you plan to save Yulei Pass?"
Huan Qi asked, covering the wound on his arm.
"Open the door and release the water."
"The door is blocked by water and can't be opened!"
"Then explode!"
Guan Shouchang said to the soldiers behind him,
"Take a small boat and bring him back to heal his wounds."
"As ordered."
The soldiers forcibly carried Huan Qi away.
Then, some soldiers took sledgehammers and knocked down some of the parapet, connecting the water flow inside and outside the city gate, so they were able to row across the city wall in a boat and head south.
The fleet continued to enter Yulei Pass, and the soldiers rowed all the way south.
Along the way, they also rescued some Qin soldiers who were floating on the door panels and crossbars, pulled them onto the boat, and when there were more people, they pulled them back to the camp together.
Soon, they arrived at the general's mansion.
There were only a dozen people left on the roof of the general's mansion, including Sun Tai and a dozen generals.
They were overjoyed to see a boat coming, but they had been wet in the rain all night and were already exhausted and extremely cold.
Even though the ships were flying the black dragon flag of the Yan army, they ignored it.
"We are here, come and save us!"
"Brothers of the Yan army, we are willing to surrender. Come quickly!"
"Come on! Come on!"
They shouted loudly, and Guan Shouchang rowed over with several boats.
"Put down all your weapons and throw them away!"
A guard shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the generals hurriedly threw their swords into the water.
In this situation, even if they had swords and knives, they could not defeat the enemy. It would be better for them to be honest and strive for leniency.
Guan Shouchang looked at them, all wearing fine armor, and asked,
"Who are you all? Tell me your names!"
Sun Tai quickly clasped his hands and said,
"General, I am Sun Tai, the commander of the Qin army. Please don't kill me. I can still be of use to you. I can lead the way for you. Besides, we have no grudges against each other. I have never killed a single Yan person."
Guan Shouchang looked at him with some contempt and said,
"Are you Sun Tai? You're such a idiot, you're not even remotely comparable to Bai Wuan."
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm not even a bit as heroic as Bai Shuai."
Sun Tai can say anything to survive now.
"Tell me, can you help lead the way and provide intelligence?"
"That's natural."
"Then get on board and follow us to rescue people."
"General, you are a kind-hearted man. I admire you deeply."
When the other generals saw Sun Tai's flattering face, they all covered their faces and were ashamed to be associated with him.
Although they surrendered, it was only to save their lives, so they couldn't say this.
Guan Shouchang is kindhearted? A flood that killed hundreds of thousands of people, is this what you call kindhearted?
After Sun Tai and others were taken on board, Sun Tai respectfully asked their names. When he learned that the other party was Guan Shouchang, the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, he flattered them even more.
He poured out a lot of good words. After all, he got to the throne by flattering the monarch. This is a traditional skill.
