At nightfall the next day, lights flickered in the king's tent in the Han army camp.
Deng Mu sat on the throne, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the wine swirled gently in the glass.
His sharp eyes like a hawk were fixed on the black-clothed man in front of him-Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu claimed to be a trusted general of Tan Dao. He took great risks to climb over the city wall at Tan Dao's order, just to come and see Deng Mu.
Deng Mu summoned him to the tent, but did not rush to ask about his purpose. He just looked at him with cold and deep eyes.
That kind of eyes seemed to be able to see through all appearances and reach people's hearts. Under this compelling gaze, Yu Xiu couldn't help trembling, and even dared not look up and look at "483" Deng Mu.
After a long silence, Deng Mu finally spoke slowly:
"You mean, Tan Dao intends to submit to me?"
His voice was calm and majestic, revealing an unquestionable power.
Yu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly:
"That's right. Ever since General Wen came to the city to persuade him a few days ago, my general has been deeply moved.
After careful consideration, he decided to abandon the dark and join the light and submit to the prime minister."
Deng Mu did not show any joy.
He frowned and questioned:
"Tan Dao was promoted by Chen Ba. Would he surrender to me so easily?
This seems a bit unreasonable."
Yu Xiu hurriedly explained: "Although my general was promoted by Chen Ba, he is actually more grateful for the recommendation of Chen Quan and Wang Seng.
Chen Ba did not fully trust my general, so he sent Zhang Pan as a deputy general. On the surface, he was assisting, but in fact, he was secretly monitoring him."
He swallowed his saliva and continued:
"After General Wen left the day before, Zhang Pan questioned my general on the top of the city wall with an extremely rude attitude.
This further strengthened the general's determination to surrender, so he sent me to contact the prime minister."
Deng Mu stood up and paced in the tent, pondering Yu Xiu's words, while his eyes fell on the surrender letter written by Tan Dao.
After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his face:
"Well, Tan Dao is indeed a wise man who knows the current situation. Go back and tell him that I, Deng Mu, keep my word.
I have reserved a place for him in front of my tent, just waiting for him to open the city and surrender."
Yu Xiu was overjoyed and thanked Deng Mu repeatedly.
Deng Mu rewarded Yu Xiu and ordered him to return to the city immediately to discuss the specific time and matters of surrender with Tan Dao.
After Yu Xiu left, Deng Mu turned to Guo Jia and Pang Tong, and the smile on his face had already subsided:
"What do you think of Tan Dao's surrender?"
There was a bit of sharpness and prudence in his eyes.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and cast his eyes on Pang Tong:
"Morale, what do you think?"
Obviously, he had already made up his mind, but he wanted to hear Pang Tong's opinion.
Pang Tong stroked his long beard and said calmly:
"Tan Dao is a smart man. He should be aware of his own military strength and the food supply in the city.
Being besieged by the prime minister, it might be wise to surrender. ”
However, he changed the subject and said, "However, Tan Dao is promoted by Chen Ba after all. Even if he knew that he could not defend the city, he would at least resist a little.
Now that we have not launched the siege, he surrendered so readily. Isn't it a bit too fast?"
Pang Tong did not finish his words, but the implication was obvious - Tan Dao's surrender might have something else.
Deng Mu nodded to express his agreement with Pang Tong's point of view, and immediately ordered to summon Wen Tong0 ...
When Wen Tong came to the big tent, Deng Mu directly asked him about his opinion on Tan Dao's loyalty.
Wen Tong thought for a moment and replied:
"It is difficult for me to judge Tan Dao's loyalty to Chen Ba.
But what I know is that Tan Dao was recommended by Chen Quan and was reused.
If we talk about the grace of recognition, Chen Quan's gratitude to him may be even deeper. "
This information made everyone present fall into deep thought. (To read the novel of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Guo Jia said softly: "It seems that Tan Dao's loyalty to Chen Ba is indeed questionable.
It is not impossible for him to choose to surrender."
But Tong said cautiously: "This is just my opinion.
Whether Tan Dao surrendered truly or falsely, it still needs to be decided by you, Prime Minister."
Deng Mu stood up, with a sneer on his lips:
"Whether he surrendered truly or falsely, our goal is to seize Boyang City.
As long as we grasp this general direction, all doubts will be resolved. ”
He decided to keep in touch with Tan Dao and secretly observe his movements. After several secret communications, Tan Dao proposed that since Zhang Pan was a 3.3 die-hard loyalist of Chen Ba and half of the soldiers in the city obeyed him, the surrender should be handled with caution.
Tan Dao planned to secretly open the South Gate at night tomorrow and ask Deng Mu to lead his troops outside the South Gate to meet him.
Then the Han army could enter the city in large numbers and kill Zhang Pan and his troops loyal to Chen Ba.
Deng Mu did not show any doubt about this and agreed to Tan Dao's request without hesitation.
In actual action, he secretly transferred the main force to the East Gate line, and at the same time, within the enemy's sight, pretended to transfer the troops to the South Gate line to confuse the enemy.
A carefully planned siege is about to begin..
