Chapter 507 Promise
Wu De dismounted and strode forward to a formation of hundreds of carts. There were also the last few hundred guards belonging to Wei Zheng Road. These people would not Surrender, because there are only two surnames that make up this guard, one is Wei and the other is Zhang. The surname Zhang is the natal family of Mrs. Wei Zhengdao.
But these are the only ones left.
When countless troops suddenly appeared around the marching team, surrounding them, and the cavalry galloped horizontally, cutting the long snake formation into countless small segments, there was no ending. of suspense.
In fact, when the troops led by Wu De and Fang Maomao appeared here, it meant that everything was over for the Wei family.
Because their last elite troops had followed Wei Yi to Hanzhong County in advance. Now that Wei Yi was nowhere to be seen, Wu De appeared here, which clearly explained everything.
Zhou Xuan rebelled.
If Zhou Xuan hadn't rebelled, Wu De and Fang Maomao would not have occupied Hanzhong County silently and laid a trap for Wei Yi to fall into the trap.
So, struggle and resistance have lost their meaning.
In this team, which was almost entirely made up of logistics supplies, there was no shortage of knowledgeable people. Therefore, these people did not hesitate at all and directly laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Wu De stopped and looked at Wei Zhengdao, who was standing behind the layers of guards. The other person was also looking at him.
But Wu De's eyes were full of calm,
Wei Zhengdao's eyes were full of despair.
"Prime Minister Wei, it's over, surrender!" Wu De said loudly. "Resistance is meaningless, it will only increase casualties."
Wei Zhengdao looked around and saw that there were at least five thousand soldiers surrounding them. Those were real elite soldiers, not those who now make up his team. Old and weak.
"Where is Wei Yi?"
"General Wei hopes to leave with dignity!" Wu De said: "I promised him, just three days ago, the day he entered Hanzhong County."
He got the expected answer, but this answer completely shattered Wei Zhengdao's last line of defense. He knew that Wei's end was doomed, and there was no longer any hope.
"Hong Gong, can you kill this person for me?" Wei Zhengdao turned to look at Hong Zhan beside him.
Hong Zhan is an innate master.
Although the innate master cannot kill a general among thousands of troops, but now, Wu De is so arrogant that he came here alone. Killing Wu De will not help, but at least he can vent the bad breath in his chest. , also caused Li Dachui to lose a general.
Hong Zhan smiled and said, "Prime Minister Wei, why don't you think about it, Wu Deming knew I was here, but he still dared to come here alone?"
Wei Zhengdao turned his head, no. He looked at Hong Zhan with confidence: "You betrayed me too?"
Hong Zhan shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Wei, you and I can't say who betrayed the other. You provide the Hong family with all kinds of things." Various resources allow the Hong family to grow and develop, and I provide you with the top-level military support. Our two families have always been in a relationship of mutual utilization. When I realize that you are going further and further on the road of failure, Of course I have to find another way out. Although you have always treated me as a friend, I am not alone. I have a big family behind me, and I need to think about them."
At this moment, he has been thinking. His straight back suddenly stooped, and the light in his eyes dimmed. In the eyes of everyone, this man seemed to have suddenly turned into an old man who was far away from the ground and far away from the sky.
"When did it happen?" he murmured. "It was the time you met Li Dachui in the Taoist temple!" Hong Zhan said: "I went to meet him alone."
"At that time, you knew that Li Dachui was real. Identity?"
"I don't know, but I know that Li Tai was killed." Hong Zhan said: "I found him, and he was very frank. At that time, the Wei family was already in a state of failure. It's inevitable."
Wu De walked forward slowly. Under Wu De's pressure, the last guards slowly separated to both sides and opened a way.
"Prime Minister Wei, surrender. Only in this way can we keep the incense of your Wei family alive."
"Will Li Dachui kill them all? I am one of the culprits who killed his parents!" Wei Zhengdao Looking at Wu De, he said.
"If Prime Minister Wei wants to leave with dignity like General Wei, I will not stop him." Wu De said lightly: "I know that you also have your pride, and as one of your colleagues in the past , I am still willing to fulfill your wish. Don't worry, neither Li Duhu nor any of us have the habit of showing off in front of losers, because it is meaningless. However, Prime Minister Wei, for the sake of your Wei family in the future. Live more comfortably. I suggest you live as long as possible and do a few more things for Li Duhu."
"Am I still useful?" Wei Zhengdao said with a bitter smile.
"Of course!" Wu De nodded. "The fifteen thousand elite troops who entered Hanzhong early have now become our prisoners, and there are tens of thousands more here. These people are willing to follow you, Prime Minister Wei, all the way. They are considered loyal to you. We want They surrender to us completely, and this requires your cooperation!”
"Secondly, behind you, Linghu Shili is leading an army that is marching day and night. Originally, he wanted to take over Hanzhong County while your foothold is still unstable. However, now that there is news that Li Duhu is the posthumous son of the former Daqin Crown Prince, I think it has spread all over the world, and I think Linghu Ye will also have some ideas." Wu De smiled and said: "It just so happens that we also have some ideas. Since the two sides will definitely meet in war and fight to the death, then, now. How could we let go of such a great opportunity?"
Wei Zhengdao suddenly realized: "You want me to help you set a trap to lure Linghu Shili into a trap, and then wipe out this army in one fell swoop! "
"Exactly!" Wu De said with a smile. "What we like most is to obtain the greatest fruits of victory at the smallest cost. I have to say that Linghuye's army is still very capable of fighting. When I went to Guanwai, I saw their fighting strength. "
"What can my cooperation get for the Wei family?"
"In exchange for the opportunity for them to become civilians!" Wu Dedao: "They will retain certain property and land, at least. He can also cultivate and inherit the family in the future. Two generations later, the Wei family will have the opportunity to become an official again. Maybe by that time, the Wei family can regain its strength. "
"Two generations!" Wei Zhengdao laughed bitterly.
"Prime Minister Wei, this is already very lenient!" Wu De said: "Only a broad-minded person like Li Duhu would be so disregardful of past grudges. There is only one chance. If you don't seize it, Then we have to find another way. Although the certainty is smaller, there is still a chance of success!"
"Deal!" Wei Zhengdao turned to look at Hong Zhan: "Mr. Hong, we have cooperated. It’s been nearly twenty years, so it’s finally time to get together and part ways. I’d like you to notarize this last transaction of mine. Wu De, do you have any objections?”
Hong Zhan hesitated slightly. After a while, he looked up at Wu De, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will supervise the cooperation between both parties this time and ensure that both parties can fulfill their commitments!"
"Thank you, Mr. Hong!"
< br>
Wei Zhengdao has said thank you to Hong Zhan many times over the years, but perhaps only this last time was the one that came from the bottom of his heart.
The promise made by an innate master cannot be measured by money.
