When several personal guards around Li Shentong saw this, they immediately pulled out their weapons and rushed towards Xue Rengui, but they were no match for Xue Rengui, a first-grade warrior.
He was beheaded in less than a moment. At this time, other army generals also surrounded him.
Xue Rengui said.
"Do you really want to wait for death, sir? Now that you have rebelled, Li Shentong has been beheaded by me, and the food and grass in the city have long been exhausted. The best way is to surrender to the court;
The imperial court is currently short of manpower. As long as we sincerely submit, the imperial court will never make things difficult for us. "
"You, a little captain of ten, are so bold. You are here to deceive people and seek death!"
A captain who was loyal to Li Yuan shouted loudly, but the next moment a long sword penetrated his chest.
The captain looked at his brother who had called him brother before with surprise on his face.
"I'm sorry, Yu Hai, I don't want to die here, still bearing the reputation of a rebel."
Seeing this, the other surrounding generals also attacked Li Yuan's cronies.
With Xue Rengui's help, Xi's five cronies were successfully killed.
Then Xue Rengui took Li Shentong's head and took the initiative to open the gate of Taizhou City to welcome Chen Qingzhi and others to enter.
Yang Qiu was also quite happy after learning that the soldiers in Taizhou City surrendered voluntarily.
After entering the city, the first thing he did was to summon Xue Rengui.
【Xue Rengui】

【Charm value: 70】

"You are Xue Rengui. You have done a good job and know how to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. If you are willing, I will make you the governor of Taizhou."
After hearing this, Xue Rengui shook his head and then said.
"If your Majesty really wants to reward me, just exchange those rewards into food and grass and give them to the people in the city."
After Yang Qiu heard Xue Rengui's words, he came to him first and spoke.
"The people in the city are my people. It is because of my incompetence that they fell into the flames of war. I brought food and grass this time to help the people in Fuzhou and Taizhou;
I thought that Tang Wang Li Yuan would follow my original imperial edict and attack Wudu, but unexpectedly he violated it and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Fuzhou and Taizhou. If he acted in accordance with the imperial edict;
I'm afraid that I have successfully eliminated Wu Sangui and other traitors by now, and your reward will definitely not be short. I have already arranged for people to distribute food and grass to the people in the city;
Tell me what you want. If you don't want to be the governor of Taizhou, I won't force you. "
Xue Rengui then said.
"I am willing to serve your majesty. I just hope that your majesty can be a good emperor for the country and the people."
Yang Qiu looked at Xue Rengui and thought for a moment, then said.
"I see that you are also a warrior, probably at the level of a first-class warrior."
Xue Rengui nodded.
"From now on, you will be the deputy general of the White Robe Army. From now on, you will stay with Marshal Chen and learn the art of war from him;
If you want to be a general who protects your family and country, it is not enough to be brave. A qualified general must be brave and resourceful;
I believe that you are a rare handsome talent. If you stay by Marshal Chen's side, it won't take long for you to achieve something. "
Xue Rengui nodded, and then said.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to attack the traitor Li Yuan next?"
Yang Qiu hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Winter is coming soon, and I am planning to take it back to Fuzhou before then to give the people of Fuzhou a good winter."
At this moment, a bad guy ran in, took a look at Xue Rengui, and then handed a secret letter to Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu opened the secret message and looked at it with a happy expression on his face.
"Li Yuan led an army of 60,000 to storm Youzhou City. For nearly seven days and nights, he drove out the Zhou army that occupied Youzhou. At present, more than 10,000 Zhou troops have fled and seem to be preparing to move towards Yangzhou. go in the direction;
Li Yuan also suffered heavy losses this time. There were only less than 20,000 people left in the 60,000-strong army. It seems that the leader of the Zhou army was also a powerful figure. He could actually defeat Li Yuan to this point with only the men in his hands. Deputy Tiandi, Li Yuan now summons 10,000 troops from Fuzhou to withdraw to Youzhou;
At the same time, they also sent people to prepare to inform Li Zicheng. I am afraid that Li Yuan never imagined that nearly half of his 30,000 horses had been lost, and the remaining half had surrendered to the imperial court.
Even if he takes back Fuzhou's 10,000 troops, he currently only has 30,000 troops on hand, and I'm afraid he won't make any moves in the short term;
I am afraid that those Turks will be restless at this time and attack Youzhou. No matter what, the people of Youzhou are also the common people of the people. "
When Yang Qiu thought of this, a sad expression appeared on his face. Xue Rengui looked at Yang Qiu like this, and his inner loyalty to him suddenly rose to 80.
At this time, Chen Qingzhi walked in.
Looking at the secret letter in Yang Qiu's hand, he said.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Fuzhou."
Yang Qiu nodded.
"If the general guessed correctly, Li Yuan must have captured Youzhou and withdrawn his 10,000 troops from Fuzhou. At this juncture, I am afraid that the Turks will come to attack the autumn wind;
In order to resist those Turks, Li Yuan will definitely not make any more moves during this period of time, and we cannot attack him at this time;
Otherwise, if you do that, you will be helping these Turks, and your Majesty will definitely arouse the anger of the people in Youzhou. Li Yuan has stayed in Youzhou for almost 20 years, and it can be said that he is deeply rooted there;
As long as there is enough food and grass, it is not difficult to recruit troops. "
After Yang Qiu listened, he smiled slightly and continued.
"It's a pity that this guy doesn't have enough food and grass. I'm not afraid. He can regain his strength in a short time. Before that, Yunnan Province must be taken back."
