Li Chengqian looked at him coldly, "As a general of Yizhou, you should know better than me what the consequences of treason will be!"

No one expected that Li Chengqian did not show any joy, but directly sentenced He Wenlong to death.

"His Royal Highness!" He Wenlong bowed his head and kowtowed, "The guilty general dare not survive, but these tens of thousands of soldiers are innocent, and the matter has come to this point, and you don't want the Tang Dynasty to suffer more casualties, and your brothers will fight each other."

"Hmph..." Li Chengqian didn't buy it, "You think you can settle this matter with a few words, and forgive others without guilt. I'm afraid you think I, Li Chengqian, are too benevolent."

"What do you think you're doing? Playing house?"

"He Wenlong, you are plotting rebellion, you are challenging Datang's bottom line!"

"I didn't!" He Wenlong said hoarsely: "One person does things and one person is responsible. Your Highness, I know that you are not a soft-hearted person, but you are not a ruthless person either!"

"I, He Wenlong, do things alone. If I say that this matter has nothing to do with him, then it has nothing to do with it. You can investigate it thoroughly. Anyway, they have already surrendered. At worst, you give an order, and the horses step on the battalion and kill them."

He Wenlong looked at Li Chengqian, retreating to advance, he knew in his heart that Li Chengqian would definitely not do this.

Li Chengqian stared at him without speaking.

To be honest, it was the first time he had been guessed so thoroughly.

He is really reluctant to let him enter the camp to slaughter these Illinois soldiers. Most of these soldiers are indeed innocent.

He won't kill them for the sake of standing up.

at the same time.

A general from the camp came out and knelt beside He Wenlong.

"His Royal Highness, General He's rebellion was not what he wanted. I hope His Royal Highness will give him a chance!"

"His Royal Highness, if you want to kill the general, you can kill me too."

"His Royal Highness..."

More and more generals walked out of the camp and knelt in front of the camp.

The generals around Li Chengqian felt their noses ache, and couldn't bear to see this scene.

They are all blood-stained soldiers on the battlefield, and they attach great importance to friendship with each other. He Wenlong's popularity shows that he is not a vicious person.

If it weren't for his love and righteousness, He Wenlong wouldn't be able to do this step.

Chapter 384

You all get out of here! "He Wenlong yelled loudly, "You are just discarded pawns in this general's hands. Here, you will live and die with this general, and you will be thrown away by this general, a bunch of brainless waste. "

"Do you really think this general is for you? This general is just to make a good name for yourself, a bunch of bastards!"

He Wenlong shouted and cursed angrily.

But the more he was like this, the more heartbroken the soldiers were.

They knelt on the ground, knocking their heads on the ground, letting the blood slide down their cheeks.

Li Chengqian didn't speak, just watched quietly.

He Wenlong looked up into the air, trying not to let the tears fall down his cheeks.

In fact, he and He Wenjin were forced to rebel against each other, and only he knew the hidden truth.

If it is not a last resort, who is willing to rebel, let alone during the reign of the Holy Lord Mingjun.

It was he who was sorry for the soldiers of the Yizhou Army.

Immediately after...

He Wenlong took out a dagger, "His Royal Highness, I have explained the matter to you. You can decide their life and death yourself. He Mou will take the first step."

As he spoke, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed at his chest suddenly.

"General, don't..."

"General, don't..."

"General..."

The surrounding generals all screamed and rushed forward.

But it was too late, the blade of the dagger had pierced into his flesh and blood.

at the same time.

A plume arrow suddenly pierced through the air and went straight to He Wenlong, extremely fast and powerful.

clang!

Fire is shining.

He Wenlong let go of the dagger in his hand.

He was shocked, and when he looked up, Li Chengqian was holding a big black bow and looking at him coldly.

The soldiers around the Yizhou Army looked at Li Chengqian with gratitude in their eyes.

They knew that Li Chengqian gave He Wenlong a chance to survive.

Li Chengqian stared at him, and said coldly: "In front of Ben Gong, if you want to surrender, you can surrender, if you want to commit suicide, you can kill yourself, and I don't take Ben Gong seriously."

In fact, according to Li Chengqian's character, He Wenlong was bound to die. No matter what his reasons were, rebellion would not be forgiven.

But if he was spared, he might be able to take Yizhou without bloodshed.

Compared with He Wenlong's crimes, he paid more attention to the lives of Tang soldiers.

Li Chengqian does not allow unnecessary sacrifices, and the life of every soldier is precious.

……

Illinois military camp.

Chinese army tent.

Li Chengqian took the first seat, and He Wenlong was kneeling below.

He looked at He Wenlong, calmly: "Tell me, why did you rebel? I will give you a chance to explain."

He Wenlong raised his head and said seriously: "Returning to Your Highness, although the explanation is a bit weak, the facts are not as the rumors say, the rebellion of the final general is entirely a conspiracy of He Wenjin and Li Huanlin."

"He threatened the general to rebel against them with the lives of the relatives of tens of thousands of children in the Izhou army. Except for the general, none of them knew about it."

"He Wenjin and Li Huanlin have been working hard in the Izhou area for several years, and they will eventually believe that they have this ability, and the two people's methods are insidious and vicious, and they are completely capable of doing such a thing."

"Although these remarks are a bit absurd, but the matter has come to this point, there is no need to deceive His Highness the Crown Prince."

"But even if the general has thousands of reasons, rebellion is treason, and there is no excuse. The general is willing to bear all the consequences. I just ask His Royal Highness to give the Yizhou army a chance. They are really blinded by the crime. They are innocent. of."

He said and bowed his head again.

Li Chengqian stared at him without speaking.

Li Chengqian knew about He Wenlong, he was a general who valued love and righteousness in his daily life, but this time he was used by He Wenjin and Li Huanlin.

When fighting Tang Jun, he never tried his best, but just retreated blindly.

During the war, they did not bother the people, these things were not pretended.

For the loyal generals who have been used, Li Chengqian is willing to give them a chance to reform.

Li Chengqian said slowly: "This matter, I will definitely investigate thoroughly. Although I let you go temporarily, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime is inevitable. I need you to take the blame and make meritorious service. You are willing."

"However, if I find out that you are a participant in colluding with foreign countries and raising troops to rebel, even if you make great contributions, I will kill you."

He Wenlong got up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you His Royal Highness for your extrajudicial kindness. Your Highness is aware of the details, and in the end he is willing to take the blame and make meritorious service."

Just as he thought, Li Chengqian didn't kill a single soldier of his Yizhou army.

Li Chengqian's wrist is iron and blood, but he also has great affection in his heart.

If they revolted, Li Chengqian would kill them without hesitation.

moment……

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." He Wenlong kowtowed again, then stood up.

He thought that Li Chengqian would let this army go, but he didn't expect to let him go too.

Li Chengqian went on to say: "Li Huanlin and He Wenjin led the army out of the nest and set up ambush in Fuquan Valley and Yangchang Xiaolu in the northwest, intending to ambush the palace."

The words fall...

He Wenlong frowned slightly, obviously he didn't expect Li Huanlin to make such a risky move.

He hastily cupped his hands and responded: "His Royal Highness, Li Huanlin and He Wenjin came out in full force, and the city of Yizhou must be empty. At the end, the general is willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, and go to Yizhou City with His Highness."

"The last general will go forward, but the city of Yizhou will be captured without bloodshed."

"Taking Yizhou City, the last general and His Royal Highness can encircle and suppress Li Huanlin and He Wenjin together. Most of the army is the old general under the last general. If the last general persuades them, they will definitely surrender."

"But we need to be fast. If we delay for a long time, Li Huanlin will definitely notice. At that time, he will withdraw his troops and return to defend Yizhou City. The last general will not be fully sure."

Li Chengqian took a sip from the cup in front of the case.

The words of a wise man are so simple, he only said one sentence, and He Wenlong understood what he meant, and quickly deployed his strategy.

In fact, the reason Li Chengqian accepted He Wenlong's surrender was because of this.

Although there are many rebels, in the final analysis it is still a matter of a few masterminds, and most of the bottom soldiers are innocent.

And he also considered that accepting He Wenlong would save Yizhou from war.

No matter who wins or loses, whoever wins or loses, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will die, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will be injured.

All living beings are devastated on their own land, leaving Yizhou city empty, this is by no means what Li Chengqian wants to see.

"Okay." Li Chengqian put down the cup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow morning, you will set off with this palace to attack Yizhou City. Remember, the greater the contribution you make, the more people you can save." many."

He Wenlong cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Thank you His Royal Highness for your grace, I will remember my sins."

"Sin will retire first, and prepare for the return."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and turned around to leave the camp.

In fact, it wasn't that he was willing to leave, but that he saw Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong eager to try, but hesitated to speak.

If he didn't leave, he would only be making fun of himself, and moreover, he would have to give others room to criticize him. After all, no matter what the reason was, his name of treason was well-founded.

Chapter 385 Entering Yizhou City

His Royal Highness. Cheng Yaojin stood up and said, "Is He Wenlong trustworthy?"I always feel that this matter is a bit strange, and his reason is too far-fetched. "

From the beginning to the end, Cheng Yaojin had some prejudice against He Wenlong.

It's not his fault, after all, the rebel general's words and explanations always feel a little pale and powerless.

Everything has been done, and if I explain it again, it will be more or less covered up.

After all, no one can detect his true inner thoughts.

"I don't think so." Yu Chigong interjected, "He Wenlong's feigned surrender is meaningless. Besides, Fatty Cheng, don't hold prejudice against him. They are all serving the country. It's not like you don't know how difficult it is to defend the border."

"Although treason is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, if we are forced to do so, we should give him a fair treatment, so as not to chill the hearts of the border guards."

What Yu Chigong said was clear and fair.

Cheng Yaojin sighed, "It's not that I have any prejudice against He Wenlong. If such a big incident happened in Yizhou, he would always tell the court that it was wrong. Of course I hope that He Wenlong was forced. Tang can avoid losing a general at the gate."

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "The two princes don't need to pay too much attention to it. The Palace has always employed people with no doubts. Now that He Wenlong has no need to feign surrender, he will not gamble with the lives of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army."

"The Yizhou army surrendered, and there is no room for resistance."

"Tomorrow, I will lead He Wenlong to lead the white-robed army to attack Yizhou City. The two of you will lead the army to move closer to Yizhou. It would be best if we can take down Yizhou City and Li Huanlin without bloodshed. If not, we must prepare for a strong attack. .”

The two stepped forward and cupped their hands: "The last general takes orders."

The next morning.

Li Chengqian led the army and took He Wenlong all the way west along the Qilian Mountains to Yizhou.
