: Walking and descending

Under the hillside near dusk, Yuan Taizuo stood there alone wearing armor covered in blood-soaked armor. Under the reflection of dusk, a battle flag he held tightly with his hands was floating alone.

On the flag, the golden tiger opened its mouth wide, as if it was roaring silently.

This is the totem flag of the Yuan clan and the battle flag of the Northeast Army of Yuan Taizuo. In the past ten years, with the fluttering of this battle flag, he has gone from a young general to fight in Liaodong and western Liaoning for many years, and has won countless victories, and finally gradually became the commander of the Northeast Army.

Once upon a time, as soon as this battle flag fluttered, countless warriors would gather under his banner, charging into battle, and not refusing to die. But now, the flag is still there, his warriors have lowered Gao Ao's head and left the swords and weapons in their hands.

Those Goguryeo soldiers who had already given up completely saw this scene, turned around one after another, and some men even shed tears.

Yuan Taizuo did not shout or order any more. He just stood there alone, watching all his soldiers being escorted away. Finally, he plopped, knelt on one knee, held the battle flag with his hands, and did not fall down. At this moment, his heart was choked, and the man who had always claimed to be a tiger finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Benlei did not order Yuan Taizuo to be captured, but just asked someone to surround him and sent someone to notify Chen Kefu.

When Chen Kefu brought his people to come, Yuan Taizuo still knelt on one knee silently, his figure was indescribable.

With the pace of the winner, Chen Kefu walked to him with a smile.

"What, have you figured out that you want to surrender to me?"

Yuan Taizuo didn't raise his head, but he still maintained his posture.

Chen Kefu smiled, "The success and defeat of the king are not enough to say. I think you, Yuan Taizuo, is also a general who commands the army. Can't even understand victory or defeat? Defeat is defeat, victory is victory. If you can't even see through this, I really admire you above you before."

"You are just a lucky person to invite the heavens. You're just a lucky person. If you do it again, who will kill you!" Yuan Taizuo slowly raised his head and said coldly.

"Being arrogant, how can you speak bravely? I tell you that it is your honor to be defeated by my general! Since my general set foot on Liaodong, he defeated Gao Qi first, then Yizhi Wende, and then Gao Jianwu, Gao Yannian, Gao Yuzhen, and defeated you Yuan Taizuo again this time, you will be invincible and defeated in every battle. No matter how crazy you are, you can still be better than Yizhi Wende, who is known as Gao Encourage Goguryeo's military god, can you be more powerful than Gao Jianwu? They are all defeated by my general. If you lose, you will increase your reputation instead." Zhang Jin shouted.

This was the first time Yuan Taizuo heard these things. Since the Sui army crossed the Liao River, all mountain cities have been firmly clearing the walls and defending the mountain cities. After a few months, they had no idea about the situation outside. Even if they sent scouts several times to detect the situation, they would immediately be surrounded and annihilated by the reconnaissance troops sent by the Sui army from afar.

"I believe you said you defeated Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian, but you said you defeated King Rongliu and General Yizhi? Do you think I will believe it?"

"Believe it or not, what does it do to me if you believe it or not? You are the only one left of your 80,000 people. Your younger brother Yuan Putu refused to surrender and was already dead in battle. Your uncle Yuan Gai Tong has surrendered, and your 80,000 people will either die or surrender. I will give you a chance to surrender now!"

When Yuan Taizuo heard that his brother was dead, he glared at Chen Kefu and said nothing more, "You kill me, I will not surrender to you, and then be taken back to Central Plains to be a slave. I am a great nobleman from Goguryeo, and even if I die, I will die with dignity."

Chen Kefu took two steps forward, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Gao Qi surrendered to me, Da Sui, and now he has become the surrender of my Da Sui, and enjoys glory. It doesn't matter if you don't want to surrender to my Da Sui, but I heard that when I conquer Liao last time, many soldiers of my Da Sui were captured by you? Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, there are still tens of thousands of Sui slaves in the manors in the northeast of my tribe."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to allow Goguryeo to redeem you with all the captured soldiers of my Great Sui Dynasty." Chen Kefu said softly, not letting others hear it.

Yuan Taizuo suddenly raised his head, "Are you saying true?" For him, it would be the best if he could save himself by exchanging prisoners of war.

"I do what I say. Now do you choose to die in battle? Or surrender to me?"

Yuan Taizuo's face turned red and he held it in for a long time before saying, "I surrender!" It was never just someone else who said this to him, but this time it was his first turn to say it to others. After saying that, Yuan Taizuo sat down dejectedly on the ground as if he had lost his soul.

"Since you have chosen to surrender, then offer your battle flag to me, and then offer your sword and seal together!" Chen Kefu said with a high point and a spring breeze on his face.

The sky at dusk is gloomy and dim.

Chen Kefu stood proudly in his armor. Behind him, all the officers above the battalion who went to the expedition stood in two rows. Tens of thousands of Sui soldiers and civilians surrounded them one by one, watching Yuan Taizuo's surrender ceremony.

With the opportunity to return to Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo no longer insisted on too much personal honor. At the request of the Sui army, he knelt on both knees, dragged the golden tiger flag with both hands, walked step by step a hundred steps, came to Chen Kefu, lowered his high-spirited head, and presented his military flag to the victor of the Great Sui army.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Goguryeo captives were all taken here, watching their former invincible general surrender and offer flags. One by one, the Liao army soldiers looked at the former noble young leader of the Yuan clan, the son of Lu, the commander of the Northeast, but now they knelt on their knees and walked forward step by step. Everyone looked confused and indescribable. The sharp sharpness accumulated by victory after victory, and the deep sense of pride left them little by little.

The three generals should not be captured by the commander, and the soldiers should not be captured by the heart. Even if these tens of thousands of Liao people can still go to the battlefield again in the future, they will probably have a large part of them, and they will never have the sharpness of being more sharp.

Chen Kefu was also very excited at this time. There was a veteran who had several cities and tens of thousands of soldiers opposite him. He was not a prince like Gao Qi who only knew how to enjoy it. Gao Qi surrendered to him, and he didn't feel any excitement at all. However, Yuan Taizuo surrendered to him, which made him very excited.

"Hahaha." Chen Kefu laughed heroically several times, stretched out his hand and took the flag casually, took it in his hand and looked at it casually, threw it on the ground aside, and said to Zhang Jin, "Take this flag back later. In the future, we will build a special honor room in the headquarters to store the enemy battle flag we have seized after we won the battle. Well, this yellow big cat looks good and will be our collection in the future, so don't lose it."

"General Chen, this is the golden tiger flag in the northeast of my country, not the yellow big cat flag. Although you won the victory on the battlefield, you cannot insult your opponent like this." When Yuan Taizuo heard that Chen Kefu actually called their golden tiger flag the yellow big cat flag, his face was so angry that he was about to swell up. Although he told himself that in order to return to Goguryeo, it was necessary to temporarily endure humiliation, but he accepted the personal insult to him, which made him surrender. However, the insult to Chen Kefu's battle flag made him unacceptable.

Chen Kefu sneered, "You call him the golden tiger flag, but now this flag is already a collection of my Northeast Army. If we like to call him the yellow big cat flag, just call him the yellow big cat flag. You have no right to interfere!"

"You..." Yuan Taizuo almost breathed, and Chen Kefu's words were so hurtful. But after finally restraining his desire to strangle the person in front of him, he also understood that now he is the fish and the people are the slaughter. Basically, people want to pinch the round and pinch it, and he is powerless to resist. Thinking of this, Yuan Taizuo sighed, stopped talking, took off the sword around his waist, and held it over his head with both hands.

Chen Kefu took the knife and it was a Great Sui ring knife, which was similar to the horizontal knife. However, there was a ring at the tail of the knife hilt, and there was a tiger in the middle. There were gems embedded on the entire knife hilt, and the scabbard was inlaid with gold, silver and gems, which were indescribably gorgeous and beautiful. Such a knife was definitely expensive.

He casually pulled the knife out of the sheath and gestured a few times. Chen Kefu threw it aside, "It's flashy and unreal. It's good to look good. After all, it's not easy to come by the horizontal sword. Zhang Jin, this knife is also put in our honor room. When the troops are in triumph in the future, I will present it to Your Majesty with my own hands!"

Finally, Yuan Taizuo took out the handsome seal he carried with him and handed it to Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu took the handsome seal with a smile, with a malicious smile on his face.

"Asian Taizuo, commander of Fuyu Dao of Goguryeo, asked to surrender to General Chen of the Northeast Army of the Sui Dynasty!" According to the rules, Yuan Taizuo had to say the words to surrender according to the procedures in the end.

"This commander, on behalf of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, accept your surrender!" Chen Kefu said loudly.

"Long live the emperor, long live the Sui Dynasty! The great general is mighty!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the Sui Dynasty! The great general is mighty!"

The Sui soldiers around him shouted like a shocking cry. For many soldiers, if they were not killed in a battle, they could still become the winner. The next step is naturally to reward merits and get rich. What else would make them happier than this? When they thought of getting promoted and getting rich, tens of thousands of soldiers were even more excited, and they kept raising their weapons in their hands, and their veins were rising on their necks, and they refused to stop.
