As soon as An Shentong said this, An Shenhui also noticed the meaning of his words and immediately replied in anger:

"Cousin, what do you mean? What should we do if we don't fight against the Wei army with our colleagues? Are you already planning to surrender to the Southern Dynasty? Since my father surrendered to the previous emperor and served as cavalry generals, he has been repeatedly expeditions and has made military achievements. My Shatuan family has been loyal to the Li family in Hedong... How could he have planned to surrender to the enemy when the country was overthrown?"

An Shentong glanced at An Shenhui and said in a deep voice:

"In the past, the An family was dominated by uncles, but the former emperor recruited various Shatuo, and he served in the Hedong army. He was loyal to the Zhuxie Li family. Of course, we, the descendants of the An family, also shared the same progress and retreat. Even though the Emperor Tang favored the treacherous and slandered, he was very negligent when the An family was not. Because of my uncle, I was not inconvenient to say more...

But now my uncle has passed away... At least we have to think about the An family. Even though we know we can't win the battle, why do we have to continue fighting? You said that we can break out and continue to fight with the Wei army, but where can we go? Go to Fenzhou, Shizhou? Or escape to Hezhong Army? How can you be sure that the troops there will not surrender to the Wei Dynasty? Isn't it very likely that we will leave the wolf's den first and then enter the tiger's den?"

After hearing this, An Shenhui was suffocated and was still waiting to speak, but An Shentong waved his hand suddenly, and the pair of tricks stared at him and said word by word:

"Even if you can survive for a while... you haven't answered me yet. The Li clan clan of the Tang Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the court have been controlled by the Emperor of Wei. Who are we going to ruin our family background and the future of our clan members in vain?"

An Shenhui widened his eyes, but he didn't know how to answer this question for a moment... After all, Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, the biological descendants of the father and son of the father and son, have indeed become prisoners of the Wei Dynasty. Although most of the adopted sons accepted by the Hedong First Lord can fight and basically have a high prestige in the army, they are now completely dead...

Although Li Siyuan's name suddenly flashed through his mind, An Shenhui opened his mouth but wanted to speak but stopped.

Because An Shenhui also knew very well that although Li Siyuan was the Yier of the First Emperor, and was also a founding minister who was respected in the Later Tang Dynasty... He had suffered a defeat before and was now retreating to a corner of Zhuozhou to resist hard. However, there was the Khitan in the north and the Wei Dynasty in the south, and there was a betrayal of the Beiping Kingdom next to him... It can be said that he was in a desperate situation.

Even if Li Siyuan could hold on for a while, the path between Taigu, Taiyuan and Zhuozhou in Yandi had been completely cut off by the Wei Dynasty army... Although An Shenhui was unwilling to admit it, he began to think about An Shentong's words. If he resisted, wouldn't this really affect all the relatives of the An family jump into the fire pit?

When An Shentong saw that An Shenhui was silent, he knew that he had begun to waver. After all, he was a relative of the clan and often fought together in the past, so he could probably understand each other's temperament clearly.

After all, according to the historical trajectory, after Li Siyuan was half-suppressed and half-inclined to fight against Li Cunxu, he sent letters to contact the generals of the Later Tang Dynasty on all sides. Among the Hedong generals, a considerable number of people immediately surrendered to Li Siyuan's side, completely ignoring that Li Cunxu was still sitting on the throne at that time... Among those people, An Shentong is a very typical one.

After all, Li Cunxu was favored by eunuchs and actors, and he was controlled by his favourites, which inevitably suppressed the old ministers and generals of the Hedong faction... So An Shentong had a lot of complaints about Li Cunxu, but his uncle An Jinquan could still suppress the scene when he was alive, so he was not inconvenient to express his dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Later Tang.

However, now that An Jinquan has passed away, the current situation is clear at a glance. If you want to continue fighting with the Wei Dynasty, it is almost no different from self-destruction... An Shentong knew that he had to stand up and express his wishes. You, Li Cunxu, died of the country, are also the fault of your own fault. Why do you still have to wait for you to die?

As for Li Siyuan, who is now in siege, he is already in danger. Therefore, An Shentong did not consider taking his own life and betting on a prescientist who didn't know how long he could last.

Watching the change of An Shenhui's expression, An Shentong struck while the iron was hot, and then persuaded:

"At this point, I am not afraid of saying rebellious words... The eunuch who was favored by Emperor Tang was lucky enough to disrupt the court, harmed the government, and interfered in political affairs. Both the generals, prime ministers and ministers were afraid of it... The actors who had no size were not only riding on the heads of the generals who assisted the Li family in Hedong to conquer the world, but also interfering in the cashiers of the treasury and the control of the troops.

Not only did we swallow our anger, but the livelihoods of the soldiers in the army were difficult to maintain. There were many people who hired wives and sold children and picked vegetables in the wild. Aren’t you also indignant? Therefore, the Emperor Tang personally ruined the country of the Li family in Hedong. I have served him until now, and he has been fully benevolent and righteous.

If they still insist on fighting against the Wei army, most of the soldiers in Taigu City are unwilling to fight to the death, but they are afraid that they will gather sooner or later to mutiny. At least if they surrender now, they can still protect the foundation of our An family. Otherwise, they will be burned and will not be treated... Are you really willing to fall into such a situation?"

Although An Shenhui was still as deep as water, he was gradually moved by An Shentong... It was just because his father An Jinquan was a loyal faction of the Li family in Hedong. Although An Shenhui also wanted to act like a vow to fight the Wei army to the end, he was very hesitant to fight or surrender.

After all, according to historical records, Shi Jingtang used the Khitan to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty of the Li family in Hedong. After thinking about it, An Shenhui chose to follow the Later Jin, and was named the Zhenwu Army's army and later moved to the Jiedushi of Heyang. He even went through the Later Han and Later Zhou dynasties, and retired from the first-rank prince and grand tutor as the Duke of Lu State... So although the Li family in Hedong was finally able to protect the Later Tang Dynasty, he knew that the Later Tang Dynasty could no longer be preserved, and he was not the kind of minister who was willing to go to the national crisis and died for the whole country...

An Shentong stood up at the right time to propose surrendering to the Wei Dynasty. An Shenhui had a step forward, and he would no longer insist on resisting.

Although An Shenqi is the most military talent among the three of them. However, he is only about twenty years old, so when it comes to major decisions, An Shenqi used to let his father and brother decide. Now that he saw his cousin who surrendered, he had almost convinced his brother... An Shenqi was a little surprised, and then he couldn't help but think:

In the past, my An family was originally a general in Hedong, but it has been confronted with the Southern Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty was hard to protect, and we were indeed in a desperate situation... What my cousin said was reasonable, but at the beginning, we were incompatible, so we could wait... Will we become a general who obeyed the orders of the Emperor of Wei?

...In front of Taigu City, several groups of Wei troops gathered one after another, and a large number of siege equipment and baggage trucks were about to be transported to the city. The troops set up camps step by step, digging trenches, and setting up stoves and pits, but they did not neglect to arrange the guard patrols at all, and were always on guard against whether there would be enemy cavalry in the city to attack.

After all, the morale of the remaining troops in the Later Tang Dynasty is low, so the process of preparing to attack the city is not too fast or slow. The Wei army is undoubtedly putting pressure on the defenders in the city... It's like before the two of them were about to fight, one of them sat there and kept sharpening the knife, letting the other party look at it, indicating that I was going to use this sharpened knife to fight your life with you.

There was no movement in Taigu City. Until the army gathered in front of the city was preparing to launch an siege, he suddenly found that the city gate was wide open, and a cavalry was about to come out and rushed to the front of the formation. He immediately shouted, indicating his purpose of leaving the city:

The Wei army no longer had to attack the city, because An Shentong, An Shenhui and An Shenqi led the troops in Taigu City and were willing to surrender to the Wei Dynasty.
