Xu You used Tongguan as a base to transport food and grass, and left 3,000 people to guard it. Then he led his army into the Guanzhong Plain and arrived in Dingcheng on May 10th. On the same day, Tan Xiaozu led the Jingzhou army to conquer Fengyi County and other counties, and came to Dingcheng to meet Xu You.

Yin Zhao knelt in front of the tent with a thorn, and Xu You came to greet him in person, untied his restraints, threw away the thorns, and said with a smile: "Sijun, why are you old, Xuan's car coming?"

This is a Han poem, which uses a woman to marry a good man to express her eager anticipation for Yin Zhao’s surrender. Seeing Xu You’s kind attitude and humorousness, Yin Zhao was not as harsh and majestic as he imagined, and felt a little relieved, and said ashamed: “The crime will be frightened, and the resignation will come late. I will ask the general to punish him!”

"It is a blessing for the general to abandon the darkness and the brightness, which is also a blessing for the Liang, and it is also a blessing for the people. What crimes are there?" Xu You held hands and entered the tent together, asked Yin Zhao to sit down, and said, "Dingcheng City is strong, and Mi Po Chu is stubborn and unfaithful. Can the general have a plan to break the city?"

Mi Po lost Tongguan and retreated to Dingcheng. He still had 15,000 cavalry and 10,000 infans with a complete system. He and the original Dingcheng defenders had 5,000 troops, totaling 30,000 troops. If he attacked hard, it would not be time-consuming and casualties would be great. Xu You's plan would be better to be able to take a wise move.

Yin Zhao hurriedly said, "Tang Mo, the former garrison of Dingcheng, is my best friend. He is also a Han Chinese. I will write a letter to the city and send it into the city. Perhaps he can convince him to submit to the city."

"Okay, that's it! Qingming Festival, get the pen and I will polish the ink for the general!"

The young master gave a pen and the general polished ink. Yin Zhao was flattered. He analyzed the current situation carefully and said a lot of good things from Xu You, so that he could not treat him badly. After he finished writing, Xu You ordered Tan Xiaozu to settle down and rest. He Ru was reading the letter on his desk and laughed: "Do you know why all the surrendered generals from all dynasties like to surrender others?"

Except for Xu You, there was no one else in the tent. Tan Zhuo and Lu Bozhi were sitting upright and said nothing, pretending that he didn't hear He Ru's words. Lu Bozhi was a little more tactful and smiled and said, "Listen to the high-profile discussion of the sacrificial wine!"

"It is always a shame to surrender to the enemy. The more people you win over, the more you can wash away the filth on your body. This is called a villain!"

Lu Bozhi regretted taking He Ru's words. Seeing that Xu You's expression was normal, he couldn't guess the general's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "I still know Yin Zhao, and he has a good reputation, so he will not be as the priest said..."

He Ru glanced at the sight and said, "The Chief Secretary may have misunderstood. I said that the villain is just praising him, knowing the pros and cons, and knowing advance and retreat, which is actually very useful. However, according to the information from the Secretariat, although Tang Mo is quite brave, he is a pedantic person and acts kindly. When he receives this letter, he will only hand it over to Mi Po Chu to show his innocence, and will not secretly offer the city as Yin Zhao hopes."

At this time, Xu You smiled and said, "You have already made a decision in your stomach, don't keep it in your arms!"

Only then did Lu Bozhi understand He Ru's real purpose, in fact, it was to say that Yin Zhao's letter of advice to surrender was useless, and Xu You already knew what he meant before he spoke. This kind of trust and tacit understanding was a fate formed by years of life and death, and others could not envy it.

"Disasterism is just a trick of power and strategy, which is enough to deal with most people in the world!" He Ru unfolded another piece of paper, wrote a few words, and was very satisfied, and then changed another one and immediately wrote it. Lu Bozhi leaned over and looked at it, and found that the handwriting was exactly the same as Yin Zhao's, and even if it was put together, it could not be distinguished. The content was very different. It was just a very ordinary narration of the interesting stories and friendship between the two people before, and no mention of anything else.

However, this is precisely this that it arouses the suspicion of smart people. Lu Bozhi was greatly admired and said, "The strategy of sacrificing the God of Wine will be broken in a daze!"

Early the next morning, Yin Zhao personally came to the front of the formation, loudly preaching Yao Ji's unkindness and unrighteousness, and called on the soldiers of Dingcheng to distinguish right from wrong, change the camp, and welcome Yao Jin back to Chang'an to ascend the throne again. Mi Po Chu was too lazy to listen to this noise, so he directly ordered the archers to release an arrow and forced Yin Zhao back.

Qingming slapped the horse out of the formation, galloped to the front of the city, pulled the bow and shot hard, looking at the big drum on the tower. The Liang army fought two wars and did not dare to shoot back. When Qingming left, they took down the arrow and found a letter on the arrow, and hurriedly sent it to Mi Po Tun. Mi Po Tun saw that Brother Tang was personally unveiled, and the signature was brother Yin Zhao. He frowned slightly, summoned his personal soldiers and said, "Go and hand it over to General Tang, see his face clearly and repay him quickly!"

When the personal soldiers saw Tang Mo who was dealing with food and grass distribution in the city guard office, they handed over the letter. Tang Mo took it in confusion and saw his hands tremble slightly. He felt his throat dry, as if it was as heavy as a thousand gold. In a short moment, countless thoughts turned to his mind, bit his teeth and said, "Take me to see the military commander!"

On the top of the city, Tang Mo knelt on his knees and returned the letter that had not been opened to Mi Po Chu, saying, "Military Military Commander, Yin Zhao and I do have some friendship, but he betrayed the king and lost the righteousness. He and I are already inseparable from life and death. No matter what the letter of persuading surrender is said, I will ignore it, and I hope the commander of the army will be clear!"

Mi Po laughed and said, "How could I be fooled with such a simple counter-espionage plan? General relaxed, Yin Zhao's treacherous people, my heart was as clear as a mirror, and I would not wrongly accuse the general!"

Tang Mo's eyes were a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak, so he could only retreat with great gratitude. When he left, Mi Po opened the letter, which was full of gossip. The confidants around him said with gamblers: "It seems that General Tang Shang Zhi's word "Loyalty and Filial Piety" would not be like Yin Zhao without a king or a father..."

"That may not be!" Mi Po Chu looked coldly as if he was about to kill someone, and said, "Yin Zhaoxin did not mention persuading surrender at all. Then he didn't look at it no matter how he looked at it. He knew that this was a persuading surrender?"

The confidant responded very quickly and said in surprise: "What is military commander? General Tang and the rebel Yin Zhao had other ways to contact each other. Is this letter just for us to show it on purpose?"

"Tang Moruo has no ghost in his heart, why don't he just dismantle the letter in the mansion? He took it to me and pretended to be because he knew that the content in the letter would not be bad for him! However, Yin Zhao was indeed secretly persuading him to surrender, so he accidentally let him say something..."

Mi Po was defeated by Xu You in Tongguan. He was very afraid of the young general of Chu. He knew that he liked to use fraud. The true and false letter may be a counter-espionage or a confusion, but he did not dare to gamble!

First, he lost Tongguan. If Dingcheng is lost again, Chang'an has no danger to defend, and Daliang will destroy the country. Moreover, he has received an order from Chang'an to hold on for five days. Yao Ji personally led 30,000 Xiliang Dama and 10,000 Lushuihu to rescue him.

Just in case, to ensure that the city is not lost for five days, it is better to kill the wrong one than to let go!

"You all come here and secretly pass on my orders, tonight..."

Tang Mo returned to the mansion and walked around the hall in a hurry, rubbing his hands hard. His wife Qiu asked the reason strangely, and said, "Yin Zhao misled me! He was afraid of death. He threw some Xu You, but he wrote a letter on purpose, which made Mi Po Chu suspicious of me. I think this Qiang Dog is a witch in a shaman, and he will definitely attack me tonight. I am not afraid of death, but there are you, and the children?"

Qiu is also a famous family in Chang'an. He has been studying since childhood. When he heard this, he cried and returned to his room to change his imperial clothes. Yingying knelt down and said, "My husband is a man and should make achievements. Now Yao Ji has lost his virtue and the people in the south have chased him. The general situation cannot be violated. I hope that my husband will follow the heavens and respond to his orders. Follow the precedent of General Yin. If you do not seek success or fame, you can at least keep the lives of the children..."

"Ah? You...Madam..."

Blood was overflowing from the corner of Qiu's mouth, and there was a short dagger in his hand. He stabbed it tightly into his abdomen and said, "My Qiu family has a ancestral teaching. I am a Liang man and a Liang ghost when I die. I cannot be rebelled! Husband, I wish there will be a next life, you, me, you and I... for husband and wife again..."

"lady!"

Tang Mo hugged Qiu's body, raised his head and wailed silently, his fingertips pierced into his palms, blood flowing, but he could not feel any pain.

"Come, wear armor!"

Tang Mo's eyes were red, and he led the 300 guards in the mansion to kill them. He summoned the five thousand defenders who were originally Dingcheng under his command, set fires everywhere, and headed straight to the south gate.

Mi Po Chu was paying attention to the movements of the Chu army on the top of the city. He knew very well about Tang Mo. Even if he colluded with Yin Zhao, he could not make a decision easily. If he started to deal with him tonight, it would be time to do so. But he did not expect that Tang Mo's wife Qiu was such a strange woman, and she forced Tang Mo to become anxious.

"Military Commander, it's not good...General Tang...He rebelled!"

"What?"

Mi Pochu suddenly turned around and saw the smoke pillar rising in the city, his eyes were full of unspeakable despair. If he lost Tongguan, he was under pressure from Chang'an, which led to his failure, but this time he set the city... This was all his responsibility. It would be great if he had just grabbed Tang Mo and chopped his head at the top of the city...

In fact, Mi Po Chu knew in her heart that she could not kill Tang Mo just now. If she was not prepared in advance, killing him would only force the five thousand defenders to rebel, and the ending would be the same.

"Military Commander, please give an order quickly. It's still time to quell the rebellion!"

Mi Po Chu smiled sadly and said, "It's too late. Do you think Xu You will miss such an opportunity?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder of the Chu army's mountains and seas shook the sky, and tens of thousands of people swarmed in from the south gate. Mi Pochu once again fled from Dingcheng in a panic. However, this time only more than a hundred cavalry broke through the encirclement, and the 25,000 troops of his troops were completely damaged.

Yao Ji, who was rushing to the road, heard that Dingcheng had been lost and was in a dilemma. Finally, he followed Wen Ziyou's advice and had no choice but to retreat back to Chang'an, preparing to concentrate all his troops and carry out the final decisive battle.

After Tang Mo knelt down to welcome Xu You into the city, he found Yin Zhao and rushed up and punched him in the face. The others were about to stop him, but Tan Zhuo shook his head. The generals looked at each other but did not dare to move. Yin Zhao couldn't fight back, but he was forced to get more than ten punches, his face was stained with blood. When he was tired, he panted and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to...

Tang Mo regained his rationality, sat down dejectedly, and said in tears: "It's not your fault, it's not your fault... It's the world that is wrong..."

That night, Xu You sat alone at the top of the city, looking at the sparse starlight in the depths of the boundless plain, and footsteps sounded behind him. He Ru said softly: "What? Because Tang Mo said that, I couldn't bear it?"

Xu You's back appeared faintly at the junction of light and shadow, and said lightly: "There is no immortal in war. You don't have to trick the city. The lives of countless Chu people will be the lives of countless Chu people! Tang Mo's wife is a pity, but if she trades her life for Tang Mo's rebellion, this deal can be done!"

"That……"

Xu You raised his head, sighed slightly, and said, "Your wings, people cannot live forever, everything can be traded! However, Tang Mo said very well, this world is wrong... Since the world is wrong, we will do our best to end this wrong world. Even if this process requires many people to die, even if we die, we will do whatever we can!"

"It's been too long, too long..."
