Surrender? Looking at Wang Zuogao with a miserable smile in front of him, Tie Mo was a little surprised and a little hoarse. This man had experienced too many things. He was in a thrilling mood and full of hope, and went from northern Shaanxi to the point where he was extremely disappointed and his heart was covered with scars.

It can be seen that Wang Zuoguai is completely different from other peasant army leaders. He cannot see the ambition to fight for power and profit in Wang Zuoguai. He just wants to save more people.

"Mr. Wang, there are several soldiers in Shaanxi now. Why did you choose Tie?"

"There are several officers and soldiers, but only General Tie has resettled refugees in Zhangbei and supported more people. In Zhangbei, the general did what Wang had always wanted to do but could not do. It was the general who made Wang understand that saving the world and the people is not destruction, but construction."

Saving the world and saving the people is not about destruction, but about construction.

What a profound sentence, Tie Mo looked moved. He stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Wang Zuoka, "Mr. Wang, welcome you."

Wang Zuogao then stood up and looked at Tie Mo with a wry smile, "General, are you so bold, aren't you afraid that Wang will be capricious?"

"Tie Mo thinks that these eyes are quite accurate in looking at people. If Mr. Wang changes his mind, it must be that Tie has not done well enough!"

Wang Zuoga took a step back, hit the ground with one knee, and said loudly: "The King of the Sinners, I wish to follow General Iron to the death."

Wang Zuogao needs a way to save the world, and Tiemo also needs a capable strategist. Although there is Chen Zilong around him, with the establishment of the Yun Mansion, Chen Zilong spent most of his energy on government affairs and had rarely participated in military affairs. Moreover, in Tiemo's mind, Wang Zuogao is much more qualified than Chen Zilong as a strategist in the army.

.........

As Wang Zuogao defected to Tie Mo, Han Cheng's siege was also resolved, and a tense atmosphere disappeared invisibly.

Since I came to Hancheng, there was no reason not to pay my respects to my nominal boss Yang He.

Under the command of Miao Mei, the peasant army retreated thirty miles away in an orderly manner. The people of Hancheng cheered loudly. The city gate slowly opened, and Tiemo led Liu Yingyu and others to quickly enter the city.

The streets were crowded with people, and the people stood on tiptoe, rushing to see what the iron general who drove away the peasant army looked like. The people were very curious about what the iron general had, but he did not take a single soldier and even in less than half a day to surrender. As a result, the iron general who everyone saw was not only not three heads and six arms, but also very honest.

He walked through the crowd, his silly smile, looking like a fool.

After entering the city for a moment, I saw Yang He on the street. Tie Mo still respects Yang He very much. In today's officialdom, there are too few officials like Yang He who dare to take responsibility and do things sincerely. Although Yang He does not engage in military affairs, his flaws do not cover up his merits. Overall, Yang He works diligently in Shaanxi and is dedicated to disaster relief, and Tie Mo still sees it. Moreover, Yang He has a good son, Yang Sichang.

When Chongzhen was in power, the Yang family father and son were one after another, which was a waste of effort for the Ming Dynasty and left a rich mark in history.

When he got closer, Tiemo quickly bowed and gave a bow, "I will go to Tiemo of Xuanfu to see the commander Yang."

Yang He walked over quickly with an unconcealed smile on his face. He held Tie Mo's arm and said with a smile: "No gift, please give me a gift. If General Tie comes to help in time this time, I'm afraid I will become the biggest joke in our dynasty."

Yang He's voice is sincere and not false at all. He just became the governor of the three sides and was captured or forced to death by the peasant army. How can the court be in a good way?

When he entered the temporary residence of Hancheng, Hong Chengchou prepared a simple dinner. At the banquet, Yang He introduced the officials around him. Tie Mo gave his salutes one by one, especially when he talked to Hong Chengchou for a while.

Tie Mo was also in a complicated mood for Hong Chengchou. This person was quite capable and loyal to the court. At least for now, you would never see any sign of Hong Chengchou betrayal of the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that Hong Chengchou, who was living and dying with Hancheng, would surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the future and become the number one traitor of the Ming Dynasty.

At the banquet, Tie Mo always looked at Hong Chengchou from time to time. At first, it was nothing, but gradually, Hong Chengchou was a little confused. He took the opportunity to sit next to Tie Mo with a wine glass, "General Tie, do you know me?"

"This... Tie has been admiring Lord Hong for a long time. He has always heard that Lord Hong is willing to be civil and military, loyal and righteous, and brave. When he saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. So Tie couldn't help but take a look at him again."

After a while, Hong Chengchou smiled with a smile. At the same time, Hong Chengchou was a little confused. It is said that the two did not belong to the same system. Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi from the entire Eight Classics and a civil servant. The two had no intersection at all.

"Hehe" Hong Chengchou held the wine glass and smiled with a rosy face, and then drank it all in one sip. "I have admired General Iron for a long time. The general is so young, but he has made many great achievements. It is really shameful to others."

The two of them talked and chatted happily. If they didn't know, they would think they were an old friend they hadn't seen for many years.

......

The next day, after the subsequent ammunition supply was delivered, Tie Mo and Liu Yingyu left Hancheng. The troops on both sides did not stop and rushed straight to Tongguan in the south.

There are now a large number of rebellions on Shangluo Road. Wu Guofu, a veteran general in Sichuan, tried his best to deal with it. However, due to his limited military strength, he could only control the two entrances in Shangluo Road, but he had no choice but to use the rebellions on Shangluo Road. For a few months, Wang Daliang was not idle. Taking advantage of Liu Yinghui's absence, he recruited soldiers on Shangluo Road. By early May of the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Daliang relied on various means to expand his troops, and his troops had reached more than 60,000.

Although Wang Daliang's combat power was uneven and could not be compared with Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui, so many rebellious parties were enough for Wu Guofu to have a headache.

Tongguan and Wu Guofu briefly introduced the situation of Shangluo Road. Wang Daliang was not an easy person. In order to deal with the arrival of officers and soldiers, he divided his troops into three and stationed in Luonan, Shangzhou and Shanyang County. Wang Daliang himself was in Shangzhou, Luonan and Shanyang one north and one south. No matter which direction attacked from north and south, the troops in Shangzhou City could support it in time. Shangzhou supported 20% of the north and south, while Luonan and Shanyang County were also high in the city and thick walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
