Faced with such a terrifying scene, Han Jiang and Zhong Yan finally understood why the Zhe family was so scared. If they were also on the wall of the Wengcheng City, then they might have returned to the underworld.

The city collapsed, but the Xixia army did not step forward, but waited quietly there.

Han Jiang and Zhong Yan looked at each other.

Han Jiang smiled bitterly: "General Zhong, do you want to surrender to the enemy?"

Zhong Yan's face changed back and forth.

This is a difficult question to answer.

Zhong Yi is right. If you lose Suide City, the Western Xia army can go straight to the heartland of the Song Dynasty from here to cut off the connection between the Western army and the Central Plains. In the past, there were fortresses to rely on. Now, looking at this situation, even the city cannot be fought against, so what else can you use to fight against the Western Xia army?

Zhong Yan is a professional soldier, even an elite general. The strategy of the Xixia army has been fully demonstrated in front of him.

The three-way army, the middle and right, restrained the Song army's attention. This was a plan to build a plank road openly to cover Chen Cang secretly. The left army crossed Qinfeng Road and went straight to Qingzhou, occupying a very strong stronghold in Qingzhou.

The left army in Qingzhou restrained the attention of the entire Shaanxi sixth route. No one dared to act rashly. Whoever dared to move randomly may be attacked.

The left-road army has taken root in Qingzhou and cut Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Jun Road, making it impossible for them to connect together.

At this time, the middle army and the right army launched an attack. With the help of explosives, the Song Dynasty's fortress strategy had completely failed. Without the support of the fortress, the Song army had to fight with the Western Xia army in a field battle.

According to Zhong Yan, the three armies attacked this time, a total of 300,000 troops, and half of these 300,000 troops were cavalry. How can we fight?

The current situation is that the Western Army has been surrounded by the Western Xia Army. Facing the Western Xia Army's cavalry, the Song army cannot defeat or run away.

In other words, Shaanxi Six Road has fallen!

Shaanxi Sixth Road is such an important strategic location. Although Zhong Yan does not need to be responsible for the fall of the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road, he has to bear secondary responsibilities. Once he escapes back, he has no other choice but to be imprisoned.

Moreover... the Han Jiang in front of him may put all the blame on him in order to get rid of his responsibility. After all, the marshal on the opposite side is a member of his family!

There is no doubt that there is no need to overestimate Han Jiang's personal character. Han Jiang will definitely do this. There is no other reason, because Han Jiang is the primary responsibility. If you lose such a big responsibility as the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, Han Jiang may not die, but there is no difference between it and death.

Zhong Yan thought that if he was Han Jiang, he would definitely put the blame on the generals who led the troops, and he did not hesitate.

When Han Jiang saw Zhong Yan's expression, he immediately smiled bitterly. He looked around the generals around him, and everyone stared at Zhong Yan's expression, waiting for Zhong Yan to make a decision.

Although the people around him did not see the letter, the big flag erected opposite him clearly wrote the word "中".

There are two words "Zeng" that cannot be written in one stroke. The general of the Zhong family is famous. Judging from the situation, everyone can see that the coach opposite is the Zhong family. So, if Zhong Yan wants to surrender, what choice should they make?

Zhong Yan is also observing.

Although the Song Dynasty implemented the strategy of not knowing soldiers and generals, it did not exist for the Zong family, especially Zhong Yan.

The Western Army was established based on the Zong family. Zhong Yan had been in the Western Army for more than ten years. It can be said that the generals here were all his confidants, but when faced with such a choice, Zhong Yan still had to be very cautious.

Just when Zhong Yan was hesitating, someone from the Xixia army opposite came to deliver the letter.

This time, Zhong Yan took the lead in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and finally made up his mind.

"All the generals obey the order!"

Zhong Yan held the sword handle, stared at the many generals, and shouted loudly.

The generals stood at attention, and their iron armor collided, making a neat sound, and then replied in unison: "Here!"

Zhong Yan raised the letter in his hand and shouted: "The commander on the opposite side is the youngest general, Zong Yi. Now, my younger brother Zong Yi is the first person in the Western Xia army, with a high position and a powerful position!

He just promised me that as long as we invest in summer, we will not only not be punished, but we will also be promoted to the next level..."

Zhong Yan observed the expressions of everyone and found that everyone's expressions were quite complicated. He knew that this kind of choice was difficult to make. After all, everyone is a family with a family. If they surrender to the enemy, the domestic families may suffer bad luck.

"...I know everyone is hesitating, but now that things have come to this point, we don't have many choices, either go back and get into jail, or just try this..."

Seeing that the generals were in a wrong expression, Han Jiang quickly said, "Don't go astray, you have thought that once you surrender to the enemy, not only will your ancestors be shamed, but your family will also suffer bad luck.

Besides, you can believe the promises of the Xixia barbarians. Now you can coax you into the trap first. Then you will kill you all at once."

Han Jiang shouted loudly, but Zhong Yan suddenly burst out and pulled out the sharp sword from his waist. He cut Han Jiang's head off with one sword. His head was rolling on the ground. Han Jiang's body was still standing upright, and the arterial blood on his neck spurted out a few meters away, pouring everyone present.

It was autumn, and the autumn wind was getting colder, and the blood was sprayed on the body and neck, and there was a warm feeling.

This sword made everyone shudder.

They knew that if they did not make the right decision at this time, they would have to die on the spot.

Zhong Yan stared at his subordinates fiercely, and blood dripped from the sharp sword in his hand.

"Dang!"

The weapon in someone's hand landed on the ground.

This sound was like turning on a switch, and a clanging sound kept ringing.

A confidant of Zhong Yan knelt down at the right time and shouted: "Please give Zhong Shuai a guide to the road. If you are humble, you will definitely follow the leader!"

The sound rang out and he immediately knelt on the ground.

Zhong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little exhausted.

In this short period of time, the changes in matters made him feel overwhelmed, and the decisions he had to make were so important that even veterans like him were embarrassed.

This is to surrender to the enemy!

I hope you don’t let me down, the youngest!

Zhong Yan said in his heart.

Zhong Yan sent someone out to inform Zhong Yi about his surrender, and then quickly arranged people to sort out the fragments of the urn city to free up the route to the city for the Xixia army.

Zhong Yan went to welcome Zhong Yi in person.

When the two brothers met, Zhong Yan first punched Zhong Yi's iron frame, which scared the guards around Zhong Yi so much that they pulled out the knife.

Zhong Yi quickly stopped him and then respectfully greeted Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yi is the youngest, and he is more than twenty years younger than Zhong Yi. It can be said that for Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi is like a father to him. The respect in this is not something that ordinary brothers and brothers can explain.

Zhong Yan snorted: "You are making me feel embarrassed!"

Zhong Yi said guiltily: "I am the one who made my second brother embarrassed."

Zhong Yan sighed and said, "Okay, it's not too late. Suide City, hurry up and take over. I want to persuade the other fortresses to surrender immediately. Since you want to surrender, you have to make contributions!"

Zhong Yi was overjoyed: "Okay, second brother!"

Zhong Yan smiled bitterly: "You are such an unfilial son in the Zhong family, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster."

Zhong Yi smiled and didn't say much, and the two brothers were tacitly aware of it.

For the Zong family, they don’t take it seriously, such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

The ancestors of the Zong family were all officials of the Song Dynasty. When Zhong Yan's father Zhong Shiheng began to fight in the west for decades, many of the Zong family's children died here. They did not think that what they obtained was because of the Zhao family's gift, which was exchanged for the blood of countless people.

The Song Dynasty was very nice to civil officials, but was not very friendly to military generals. The general of the Zhong family was very resentful towards the Zhao family.

In fact, it is not only the case with Zhongjia, but also the Zhe family, but also the Yang family, especially the Di family. Because Di Qing died of depression, they all hated the Zhao family so much that they were itchy.

Of course, if there is a choice, Zhong Yan would not choose to vote in Xixia, but the emergence of Zhong Yi forced him to do so. Otherwise, once Han Jiang complained, the generals of the Zhong family would probably no longer be trusted, and the Zhong family would definitely be cleansed from the army.

Zhong Yan has no choice.

So he killed Han Jiang directly and had to make great contributions and make great contributions in order to occupy a better position in the Western Xia army.

The biggest contribution at the moment is naturally to persuade other fortresses and cities to dedicate the sixth road of Shaanxi to the Prime Minister Ouyang Bian, whom Zhong Yi said in his heart!

Zhong Yan wiped the sword and shouted: "Fifth brother, give me a team of soldiers and horses. I want to set off immediately. I want to find your elder brother and third brother, so that they can control the city together.

One of them is in Huanzhou and the other is in Zhenrong Army. They are all in the hands of the six routes in Shaanxi. With the six routes in Shaanxi, our Daxia can attack and retreat and defend, and from then on, we will truly divide the world with the Liao and Song dynasties!"

Zhong Yi nodded and immediately arranged for his subordinate Lan Shaohua to take a group to protect Zhong Yan to persuade him to surrender.

Zhong Yan rushed to Huanzhou with his cavalry regiment. His mood was anxious and excited, and his elderly body burst out with endless vitality.

No wonder he was excited. According to Zhong Yi, the Prime Minister Ouyang Bian was Ouyang Bian, the son of Ouyang Xiu. Their group had already controlled the Western Xia.

After the Zong family fought with Xixia for so many years, they naturally knew a lot about Xixia. After Zhong Yi said the beginning, he was able to guess the general situation.

Ouyang Bian controlled the government, but after all, it was in the country of the Dangxiang people, so if Ouyang Bian wanted to replace Li Bingchang, he had to need the Han army.

Then once the Zhong family army joins, it will become a reliance in Ouyang Bian's eyes. In this way, the Zhong family will not only not be marginalized because of the fall of the six routes in Shaanxi, but may even go further in Xixia!

And to present Ouyang Bian with complete Shaanxi Six Roads is a great contribution. Zhong Yan was very smart all his life and would never miss such an opportunity!

And... maybe you can become a minister of the dragon!
