Zhang Chao looked at Su Dingfang carefully.

He is burly, at least 1.8 meters tall, with a square face and white face, two sword eyebrows, big eyes and big nose, and two beards, about thirty years old.

I really didn't expect that he was Su Lie and Su Dingfang, and Zhang Chao was amazed in secret.

The first set of books Zhang Chao got when he was a child was a set of legends of the Tang Dynasty given to him by his father. It was also his favorite set of books he liked when he was a child. It included Qin Shubao, the righteous devil Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, and the green forest general piao, the old Taoist Xu Maogong of the bull, the silly Luo Shixin, and the arrogant little prince Luo Cheng. One by one, the characters made Zhang Chao liked them very much at that time.

In that set of books, Su Dingfang was a big villain, a despicable villain, and his favorite thing was to hurt people. In the Yangzhou martial arts competition, he used the secret arrow to kill Wu Tianxi, the nephew of Wu Yunzhao, the ninth elder of Xingsui. Even Luo Yi and Luo Cheng, who Zhang Chao liked very much, died in his plot. When he was reading the book, the young Zhang Chao even regarded Su Dingfang as the number one villain.

Later, when I went to school, I started reading history books.

He realized that Su Dingfang was not a villain. Not only was he not, he was also a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, not only a general, but had reached the level of a famous general.

Don't be too awesome if you destroy the Three Kingdoms and capture the Three Kings.

Su Dingfang was from Jizhou, Hebei, and his family situation was similar to Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiongbao. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Shubao fought against the thieves in the official army, and Cheng Yaojin organized the township soldiers to defend the township. Su Dingfang, who was only fifteen years old at the time, also led thousands of township brave men with his father to fight against the rebels for his prefectures and counties.

Su Dingfang was brave and powerful, with extraordinary strength and courage. He always took the lead in charge and was a young hero like Du Fuwei in the late Sui Dynasty.

After his father died in battle, he followed the order of the county magistrate to take over his father's command and fought with the rebels in Hebei. Even Zhang Jin, a famous rebel leader in Hebei, said that he was captured and killed by him. At a young age, he was famous and did not dare to approach his prefectures and counties.

However, there was a great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it was impossible to turn the world back with just one's own strength.

Cheng Yaojin finally led the team to Wagang, and Su Dingfang finally defected to Dou Jiande, who was well-known. Because he was brave and young, he was adopted by Dou Jiande's general Gao Yaxian as his adopted son and has been fighting for the Xia army.

Su Dingfang, who is 29 years old this year, is actually a senior general in Liu Heita's army.

Three days ago, Liu Heita called himself the King of Han in Mingzhou City, and his reign was Tianzao. He appointed Fan Yuan as the Left Pushe, Dong Kangmai as the Minister of War, and Gao Yaxian as the General of the Right Leadership. It turned out that all the civil and military officials of Dou Jiande and Xia regime were restored to their original positions and established their capital in Mingzhou.

Su Dingfang was named General Hu Ben.

Zhang Chao had seen his armor simple before, and thought he was just a captain, but he didn't expect that he was still a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Su Dingfang returned to the Tang Dynasty, but it seemed that Liu Heita raised his troops twice, and he was all the backbone. Later, Liu Heita was defeated, and he went home to farm. After several years of land, the court recruited him. It seemed that he also took Li Jing as his army and trained a special cavalry of thousands of people for Li Jing in Hebei. Then he followed Li Jing to attack Dingxiang with this army and broke the Khan's khan's house.

I don’t know if I can pull Su Dingfang over.

"It turned out to be General Su, a young hero. He was beheaded by Zhang Jin and said that he had expelled Yang Gongqing, which made the Hebei rioters dare not approach Jizhou. It's amazing."

Su Dingfang had no expression on his face and did not answer.

Zhang Chao was unwilling to give up and continued, "I remember when General Su protected his hometown and the villagers praised him. Why can't I see the situation clearly today and insist on following the thief, and make mistakes again and again?"

Su Dingfang Liding, turned his head and glared at Zhang Chao.

"May I ask General Su, is it wrong? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, thieves rose up from all over the country, named the righteous army, and did everything they could do, such as Zhang Jincheng, and they were all chasing bandits. At the age of fifteen, the general was ordered to scatter his family wealth and recruited the village braves, and attacked the chaotic bandits everywhere and defended the village. It was really admirable. Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, the generals of our army outside the city, were also from Guandong. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, they were similar to the general. General Qin followed the county magistrate to fight everywhere, and General Cheng recruited the village braves to guard his hometown. Heroes came from chaotic times. General Su was a heroic man at that time!"

Zhang Chao said while secretly looking at Su Dingfang.

He saw Su Dingfang being a little dazed, as if he was recalling that he started charging into battle at the age of fifteen and defending the countryside. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

"General Su, you charged forward at the age of fifteen to guard the village. Now more than ten years have passed, where do you think you are now standing? Do you think you are following Liu Heita to protect the village?"

Su Dingfang glanced at Zhang Chao without answering.

"At that time, the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, and the general finally led the village bravery to join Dou Jiande. It was nothing. After all, Dou Jiande also had a reputation of kindness, but the destiny was in the Li Tang Dynasty. After the Battle of the Central Plains, the destiny had returned. Hebei was already stable and the world was about to be peaceful. Liu Heita acted against the heavens and rebelled rebelled. Is this a good thing?"

"General Su, the rebellion was like water and fire. The war was ruthless. Many people in Hebei suffered this disaster, their homes were destroyed, and all their food was seized."

"Li Tang shouldn't have killed King Xia, and he shouldn't have killed everyone." Su Dingfang finally spoke.

Zhang Chao felt relieved. He was really afraid that Su Dingfang would always contempt him with that look. Since he was willing to fight, he would succeed the first step. If he was willing to argue, it means that his words still had effect.

"It is inevitable that the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy is inevitable. In fact, I also feel that General Dou was killed a little regretful, but the matter has happened, the dead are gone, and the most important thing is the living. Life must continue, right? Some of the local officials sent by the imperial court to Hebei were indeed unrestrained. Now the King of Qin has also come in person to correct all this."

"Correct?" Su Dingfang sneered.

"General Su, you have been fighting for more than ten years. I believe you know the current situation better than me. I can also tell the general that except for Mingzhou, the other prefectures and counties you seized in Hebei have been restored. Now that the Tang army has been restored, you have become a lonely army trapped here. Liu Heita always said that he was revenge for General Dou, but at this time he still wanted to be king. This was just to satisfy his own desires, and he tied all your old brothers to his own chariot."

"General Su, think about your family, think about your mother, wife and children in Wuyi, Jizhou."

Su Dingfang gritted his teeth. He had long expected that other Hebei troops might not be able to hold on, but now Zhang Chao said it himself, and his wife and children in his hometown, his eyes showed a complicated look.

"I heard that the King of Qin is also a hero, and I believe he will not make things difficult for others' wives and children."

"General Su, the King of Qin is indeed heroic and kind, and I believe that the Tang Dynasty will not make things difficult for your wife and children. But have you ever thought about it? They are waiting for you to go back. Are you willing to wait for your wife to go back in a can of ashes? Are you willing to have a father at a young age? Don't you want to grow old with your wife, don't you want to watch your children grow up day by day and become successful? Don't you want to see your son marry and have children in the future? Don't you want to send your daughter to a sedan chair in person when she gets married?"

"General Su, wake up, are you going to let yourself die here for the ambition of Liu Heita alone and for the long-dead Dou Jiande, and then take the name of a traitor, and make your wife and children have no one to take care of in the future, and have a miserable life?"

"General Su wouldn't think you can still win, do you?"

Su Dingfang stopped talking again. He knew in his heart that winning was impossible. If he couldn't win, then what would he still stick to here? The words of this Tang envoy were nothing. They were simple and simple, but they reached their hearts.

Yes, even though I know I will lose, what are I still insisting on here? What can I get if I die? What about my wife and children, my family, what should I do?

"General Su, I am very sorry that the court killed General Dou, but sometimes we have to look forward. This time, the Hebei launching army is a disaster for the people of Hebei and the Tang Dynasty, and no one has gotten better. The war in half a year swept over more than ten prefectures in Hebei, and the two sides died in battle. Apart from countless corpses and countless ruins, what else did we get? It's time to let go. General Su, if you continue to resist stubbornly, it will be meaningless casualties, which is not worth it."

"This was picked up by Li Tang first."

"Is it that important to discuss who is right and who is wrong at this time? General Su? Now the court is willing to change. His Highness of Qin specially sent me to persuade the surrender. As long as the city is willing to put down the sword and open the city to surrender, then the Qin King promises not to kill a soldier. You can all be generous. You can return to your hometown, put down your sword and reunite with your wife and children, live a quiet life, and start a new life."

"Let him go over the past. There are enough people who have died. There is no need to let 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Mingzhou City be buried with you in the end."

"Stop talking, the palace is ahead." Su Dingfang left a sentence, ignored Zhang Chao, and just walked.

Zhang Chao had no choice but to shut up, but in his heart he thought that Su Dingfang had already been moved by him.

The Handong Palace is actually Dou Jiande's palace.

But it is not luxurious, Dou Jiande is already relatively frugal.

Outside the palace, soldiers came to search for their bodies.

After searching, Su Dingfang took Zhang Chao in. When there was no one on the left and right, Su Dingfang suddenly whispered to him, "I'll see King Dong of Han when I got inside. Don't talk nonsense just now, otherwise there would be no good ending."

"General Xie Su reminds that it is not too late for the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Su Dingfang just sighed, but stopped talking.

When he arrived in front of a hall, Su Dingfang asked Zhang Chao to stay, and he went in to report first.

After a while, soldiers came over.

"The king summons you to meet you."

In the hall, dozens of civil and military officials were kneeling on the ground.

"Bold, when you see King Dong of Han, why don't you kneel down quickly!"

A golden armored guard shouted at Zhang Chao, shocked.

Zhang Chao calmed down and ignored him, but raised his voice and said loudly, "I am the envoy of His Highness, the King of Qin, the Great Tang Dynasty, to submit the letter written by the King of Qin to General Liu!"
