Chapter 163: Surrender at the Rate

For Tuoba Tao, after a period of persuasion, the enemy dropped not rolling wood fuel, but a large number of men, women, and children, which was simply a confusing thing.

"Helian Chang's brain is broken? He thought we'd stop by dropping a bunch of heads?" After Tuoba Tao heard the reply of his subordinates, he sneered: "Helian Chang couldn't have been frightened and started to mess with himself, right?"

"Your Majesty, the Huns who left their heads shouted at the head of the city...... Shouting ......, "The subordinates who were responsible for shouting surrender in Xiongnu also looked surprised, "It is said that if someone in the Xia country surrenders, they will wipe out the clansmen, even the clan will not be spared......

"What? Whose people are the heads that were dropped?" Tuoba Tao was dumbfounded.

"Say it's Helianding's family!"

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention that Tuoba Tao was stupid, the civil and military forces of Wei were also stupid.

None of them expected that Helian Chang would actually leave Helianding's family members in Tongwan as hostages.

After all, Helianding's status is different, and he is Helianchang's own brother, although he is not the same mother, but his brother is always more reliable than outsiders, not to mention that Helianding has risked death to run to Shuozhou in order to understand the siege of Tongwan......

"If the Xia Kingdom is not destroyed in the hands of my Great Wei, heaven will not tolerate it. It is a shame for a king to be so aggrieved that he even has to use this means to sit firmly."

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Gu Bi did not sigh as much as Tuoba Tao, but laughed and congratulated: "Helian Ding has a very high prestige in the Xia Kingdom, and there are not many people in the army who have received his favor. Helianding's wife is also a big family of the Xia Kingdom, and now Helianchang is in chaos, and everyone in Tongwan City is in danger, and morale is plummeting, and General Budui's persuasion seems to be effective, we might as well add Helianchang's brutality in the scolding war, and working for him will cause a lot of death, and within three days, a large number of enemies will come! "

Tuoba Tao nodded in agreement, and the rest of the scolders immediately added Helian Chang's crime of massacring his own nephew to the scolding, and the Wenchen who came with him began to write a script, and continued to let the archers shoot into the city.

The Wei people continued to carry out the counter-plan in an orderly manner, and Tuoba Tao sent people who dared to die, asking them to go to the city with shields to pick up all the heads.

"Helian Ding is a hero, if we enter Tongwan, let's go and help him collect the bones of his family. Such a sin is unthinkable."

As soon as Tuoba Tao said this, the knights of the Eagle Yang Army and a number of people outside the tent involuntarily twisted their heads in the direction of Hemulan.

He Mulan's eyelids jumped at their eyes, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.

Sure enough, such a gaze can be seen by anyone who is not blind, so Tuoba Tao turned his head in the direction of He Mulan and asked, "What do you think he does?" Can he raise the dead?"

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to know Mulan's ability, Kumoti saw that He Mulan was embarrassed, and explained for her: "When Mulan was in the army, she would sometimes help collect the corpses of her companions. If there is a comrade whose head is snatched back from a different place, he will also help to stitch it up, so as soon as His Majesty said to collect the bones, everyone looked at him."

Tuoba Tao didn't understand why the corpses of the Black Mountain camp were still stitched up, they were all to be burned, wouldn't it be an extra move? Thinking about the letter sent by Su Hejun again, it was said that Gong Cao used the incomplete corpse as a worm or an ownerless person to collect money, and suddenly understood what this person did in the army.

With such courage, and willing to risk offending the powerful in the army to protect the interests of his comrades, Tuoba Tao glanced up and down at He Mullan and said "Very good".

No one knows whether this "very good" refers to whether He Mulan can sew up the corpse very well, or if he used to help his comrades sew the corpse very well, everyone has their own calculations in their hearts, and the eyes looking at He Mulan have a little more unclear meaning.

He Mullan's heart was full of ups and downs, and he couldn't wait to change his face and not appear in front of people again. It's a pity that she is now Kumoti's personal soldier, and this is the front of the battle, so she can't go far at all. Several people looked at He Mulan with guilty eyes, obviously regretting his unconscious gaze.

But what can He Mullan say? From the beginning of agreeing to Di Yefei's request to do this kind of thing, she was destined to be impossible to avoid the strange eyes of others.

The day passed in the scolding battle, and the heads of the old and young members of Helianding's family were picked up by the military slaves with shields on their heads. What is surprising is that when the slaves went to pick up the heads, none of the officers and soldiers at the city gate fired arrows below, and they just watched them back in sacks.

After Tuoba Tao heard about the actions of the officers and soldiers at the city gate, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Even a small city gate official in the Xia Kingdom can't bear to let the bones of the Pingyuan family be destroyed under the horse's hooves, in comparison, Helian Chang's actions are really inferior to pigs and dogs!"

The more contemptuous he had for Helian Chang, the more he longed for Xi Jin's army to arrive immediately, and the three armies would surround him, so that he could take the city of Tongwan as soon as possible.

That night, the Wei army in Tongwan City camped for the night, and it was quiet. The Wei army knew that Tongwancheng did not dare to open the city gate for a night attack, and the emperor was personally in charge here, so except for some soldiers on duty at night, most of the soldiers who were tired from the road slept very sweetly.

At this time, Hermulan was not in the tent, but fed the horses in the makeshift stables of the Manu of Tuobatao.

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, and Yue Ying is thin and not as strong as in his previous life, and He Mulan is also anxious when he looks at it. I can't say that in a few days, Tuoba Tao will go to attack Tongwan City, Yue Ying, as a substitute horse, how can he go to the front line, if he is in a bad state at that time, who will be stabbed to death at once, won't He Mulan be distressed to death?

"I say, you have to change your bad temper. Bad temper should be directed at your enemies, not your friends......".

[,! "Poof! "

"I'm rubbing! You're squirting me in the face again! "

He Mulan took the black bean dough and the bran skin that was placed on the side.

"I won't give it to you."

"Hee-hee-hee!" (Come back, come back!) )

After playing for a while, He Mulan opened its teeth and looked at it, and found that the teeth had grown together, so he patted it on the back: "All of them are all grown, you are now a horse that can be ridden, and you must have the self-esteem of a BMW. Famous horses live for the battlefield, you can't just grind in the stables all the time."

"Mulan, have you ever been with Yue Ying before?"

A figure flashed out of the shadows, interrupting Mullan's self-talk to Yueying.

He Mulan was startled, and looked at it, and it was none other than his own commander, Kumoti.

"No...... It's just that I've had a horse similar to Yue Ying before......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kumoti showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

Yue Ying is a Dawan horse, don't say that Hemulan can't have it, even if it's Kumoti, it's just a fine one with Rome.

"Despicable means that tempers are very similar."

Seeing that there were many mistakes, He Mullan bowed his head and remedied, and then said no more.

"Mulan, I know you have a secret, but I'm not a person who can get to the bottom of things, you can rest assured." Kumoti reached out and touched Yueying, was bitten, and immediately retracted his hand.

In the dark night, Cuomo raised the bigger man to be more oppressive, he stood in front of He Mulan, looking at the top of the other party's head exposed after lowering his head: "I know that your ability is not like this, you know some medical skills, you can train horses, and you can shoot a bow of more than one hundred and sixty paces, a person like you will never be a child of an ordinary military family. But you're really loyal to your country, so I don't want to delve into ......."

Kumoti's words made Hemulan's heart go up and down.

"If you go to the battlefield, take care of Your Majesty's safety first, don't worry about me."

"Huh?"

He Mullan looked up at Kumoti in surprise.

Why are you surprised, aren't you originally the person next to Your Majesty?

Kumoti was amused in his heart.

"His majesty likes to lead by example, and his horses are fast, and the guards have a headache. Since I am driving, I will definitely not leave His Majesty's side, you are all my personal soldiers, and naturally you will all follow Your Majesty's side. He said, "I know that my own soldiers, if I and His Majesty are in danger at the same time, they really won't necessarily sacrifice me to save Your Majesty, but you are different, you and I have no real master-servant relationship, if this happens, you should go and protect Your Majesty......

"The General doesn't have to be so careful. There are many guards around His Majesty, and there are Situ and Sikong generals to protect him, so it is unlikely that he will ......"

"I mean, if anything, do it." Kumoti smiled and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret, when your majesty fights, he likes to wear the armor of ordinary soldiers, and even the guards sometimes can't find him."

Hermulan was stunned.

Did Kumoti take the wrong medicine tonight? What do you do to say so much to her as a pro-soldier?

I want to dedicate my heart to Tuoba Tao, and talk to his guards, no matter how much you care about Tuoba Tao to your own soldiers, it won't reach his ears!

Kumoti smiled and watched Yue Ying finish eating the "night grass", and kept arching the back of He Mulan's head with her head, and she kept stumbling forward, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's still my horse, it's not a BMW, but at least it's ...... What's the sound?"

At night, the sound of horses' hooves is even more obvious, and the alternating and neat sound of horses' hooves running on the ground cannot be imitated by any sound. After a frightening silence, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the camp, and there was a herald who loudly transmitted the alarm of "enemy attack", and the entire Wei camp seemed to suddenly come to life, and began to hear the sound of iron armor rubbing, the sound of the crowd running, Kumoti and Hua Mulan were located near the emperor's tent, and they saw countless guards and elite soldiers running out, closely surrounding the emperor's tent, forming several circles.

"It shouldn't be an enemy attack, it's only midnight now, it's neither midnight nor early morning, what fool would choose this time to attack at night?"

Kumoti shook his head, as he said, except for a few tired soldiers, many people had not slept at this time. On the territory of the enemy, the Wei army has always been unarmed at night, and when it was only eight o'clock, the enemy attacked several times the size of their own camp, which was simply to send them to death.

Hemulan, like Mulan, has no extraordinary talent in military affairs, and can only follow the orders of the boss. Kumoti didn't look panicked, and he didn't even let her prepare weapons, so there was really no danger.

Sure enough, in about a quarter of an hour, a general wearing the clothes and armor of the Xia State followed the Bo Yaguan in the Wei army all the way to the king's tent, and after a while, the new fiefdom named Zheng Zong in the king's tent came to Kumoti by the will of Tuoba Tao.

Hua Mulan followed Kumoti into the king's tent, and all the ministers who accompanied the army had already arrived in the king's tent, and the general wearing the clothes and armor of the Xia Kingdom was standing ten steps away from Tuobatao, and said something to the Wei people in the king's tent across a group of guards.

When he saw Kumoti come in, Tuoba Tao laughed: "You came just in time, Di Ziyu, the general of the Xia Kingdom, led his troops to surrender at night, you can lead the Eagle Yang Army out to welcome them into the camp."

He Mulan blinked his eyes.

Hey? Did someone really descend?.

In such a situation, even if it was Corporal Zai Lixian, the monarch would not risk the enemy's surrender at night to meet the surrendered army. In addition to Situ Chang Sun Han, the highest status here. [,! It was Tuobati (Kumoti), who inherited his father's throne at a young age.

This group of Xia soldiers naturally knew the concerns of the Wei people, so before entering the Wei camp, the chief general asked his subordinates to unload their weapons and enter the Wei army wearing only armor. Seeing that it was the King of Yingchuan of the Wei people who came to greet them, they were all very happy, the military generals led by them had a high nose and big eyes, curly hair, and were very young.

The sixteen northern countries were all established by the Hu people, and the Xia country was established by the Huns, but there were many Qiang people living in the original land of the Xia country, and everyone knew that Di Ziyu was the general of the Qiang people, so he did not dare to slack off.

Di Ziyu saw Tuoba Tao, and first saluted Tuoba Tao with the etiquette of meeting the lord in person, and the latter was very happy and gave him a seat.

Di Ziyu can only speak Qiang and Xiongnu, but fortunately, Tuoba Tao is ambitious and bent on sweeping the north, in addition to Xianbei and Chinese, Xiongnu can also speak, so there is no problem in communication.

After meeting Tuoba Tao, Di Ziyu first explained to him his intention to surrender, and then told him about the situation of the Wei army now ruling Wancheng.

"When Helian Ding, the prince of Pingyuan, left, he repeatedly asked Helian Chang not to go out of the city, and he must defend Tongwan. Tongwan City is extremely strong, and has enough grain and grass for the whole city to eat for ten years, Pingyuan Gong once said that as long as he did not die in battle, he would definitely attack Tongwan, and then attack from north to south. Therefore, Helian Chang had been concentrating on defending the city before, and had been unwilling to fight, concentrating on waiting for the Duke of Pingyuan."

Di Ziyu told the people why they didn't send troops no matter how they called for the battle and persuaded them to surrender.

"Now that the Duke of Pingyuan has been captured by your country, Helian Chang has no one to rely on, so he began to panic. Today, he killed the family of the Plains Prince, and flogged many ministers for no reason, saying that they had the intention of surrendering in their hearts. Several princes advised him, but he splashed his face with hot water."

He continued: "I am a Qiang person, and it is only because I can't defeat the Xia Kingdom that I will be subdued by the Helian clan in order to protect my clansmen. Now Helian Chang even treats his henchmen like this, and when the war is over, our Qiang compatriots will definitely be driven to do the thing of the death camp, in order to prevent the old and young in the clan from being left unsupported, I simply ventilated with a few colleagues who had already had the intention of surrendering, and secretly opened the city gate at night, and came out to surrender first."

This surrender is not easy for everyone to surrender, and it is often the first to go out is the most dangerous. If it is destroyed by someone who is attacked at night, or the other party's lord will not accept the surrender, or the letter will be suspected of being placed under house arrest, it will be a loss to the wife and a soldier.

Therefore, this Di Ziyu is willing to take the lead in exploring the situation, which can be described as a person with extraordinary courage.

Tuoba Tao doesn't care what cats and dogs are returning now, as long as someone surrenders, he can figure out the current situation in Tongwan City, and he can also know the reality of it, Tuoba Tao and many ministers who can speak Xiongnu asked Di Ziyu many questions, and after asking the situation in Tongwan City clearly, Di Ziyu threw out a huge surprise.

"When I escaped, I met Zhang Yuan, the Taishi of the Xia Kingdom, and I thought that I was not far from death, but Zhang Yuan asked me to bring a message to the Great Khan......"

Di Ziyu was a young man, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him intently, he immediately said with satisfaction: "'Helian Chang is braided, and the lives of the people in the city are worried. Today I want to give his life to the hands of the Great Khan, and I don't know if the Great Khan dares to take it.'

As soon as Di Ziyu's words came out, the officials who were full of accounts were a little excited.

Zhang Yuan is an extremely remarkable figure in the Taishi of the Xia Kingdom, when he was young, he was an official under Fu Jian, when Fu Jian wanted to go on a southern expedition, he tried to discourage him, persuading him not to go south, Fu Jian refused to accept it, and then the battle of Weishui in the early stage was really defeated, and Zhang Yuan was also famous.

But he had a reputation, but he was not accepted by the monarchs and ministers of the former Qin, thinking that he used the failure of the Qin State to establish his reputation, after Helian Xia destroyed the Later Qin, Zhang Yuan was the Taishi Ling in the Xia State, and now he is over sixty years old.

This is a scheming Hanchen with a tough personality. He said that he wanted to send Helian Chang into the hands of Wei, how could it not be encouraging?

Tuoba Tao asked in a loud voice, asking Di Ziyu Zhang Yuan how to send them Emperor Xia. Di Ziyu told Tuoba Tao that if the Wei army attacked the city, the eastern, western, and southern gates could be heavily armed, and the north gate leading to the direction of Wei was personally conquered by Tuoba Tao, secretly leaving an ambush.

If this is done, when the army will attack the city, Zhang Yuan and several ministers will persuade Helian Chang to attack from the north gate with the elite cavalry in the city, in order to annihilate Tuoba Tao's team. In this way, the men and horses who were secretly ambushed and the armies of the east and west that had been prepared in advance could instantly surround and capture Helian Chang alive.

This plan did sound good, but Changsun Han and other ministers disagreed.

The first is the question of whether Helian Chang will attack. Although Helian Chang is now stupid, it doesn't mean that he is a stupid person, the army outside is besieged, as a monarch, how can he take the liberty of attacking?

Second, although there was an ambush left, if Tuoba Tao was really injured by Helian Chang in case of an event, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? Although it is difficult to conquer Tongwan, it will always be taken, and there is no need to take this risk.

Third, why did Zhang Yuan help the Wei people? Although Helian Chang was brutal, he had great respect for Zhang Yuan and other Han ministers, in the Xia Kingdom, Tai Shiling was different from other countries, but he was an important minister who consulted important government affairs, Helian Chang never neglected him, if Di Ziyu and others could surrender, why did Zhang Yuan rebel?

Di Ziyu may have martial arts, but the IQ does not seem to be high, and when the ministers of Wei asked, he was immediately speechless, and said that Zhang Yuan was credible, and said that Helian Chang had gone crazy, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had been extremely disappointed in him.

But that's not what it can be. [,! ] Convince Tuoba Tao's reason.

Di Ziyu was first dizzy by their gossiping, and then Tuoba Tao spoke out to stop them from taking turns to "torture" Di Ziyu, Di Ziyu remembered one thing and immediately shouted:

"Among the Helian Ding family who was killed this morning, there is Zhang Yuan's great-grandson!"

As soon as Di Ziyu called, Tuobatao's eyes immediately lit up.

"Is that true?"

Di Ziyu hurriedly explained the situation.

It turned out that Zhang Yuan had a granddaughter, who was clever since childhood, and was later married to Helian as his wife. She encountered difficulties when she gave birth to a son for Helian Ding, according to the rules of the Huns, she gave up her mother and left her son, and Zhang Yuan's granddaughter died like this, leaving only a great-grandson, and Zhang Yuan's family had a disagreement with Helian Ding's family.

Later, Helian Ding married another wife, the daughter of the Liu family of the Xiongnu clan, and gave birth to several children, and this great-grandson became embarrassed. Zhang Yuan took him back to Zhang's house, and taught him faith, and when he was a little older, Helianding took this son back, because Helianding was a pillar of Xia at this time, and for the future of this great-grandson, Zhang Yuan asked Helianding to take him home.

Helian Ding rescued Chang'an, and his family was taken into the palace, including Zhang Yuan's great-grandson. Although this is not necessarily the whole reason why Zhang Yuan fell to the Wei State, but with this fuse, I think there has been a gap between Zhang Yuan and Helianchang.

"Why did you know about this secret?"

Tuoba Tao knew whether the relationship between the two families was good or not, whether Zhang Yuan had the confidence to teach his great-grandson, whether he had feelings for him, and it was by no means something that a Qiang person who was a general in Tongwancheng could know, who expected that as soon as his words were asked, this straightforward-looking young man was flushed with red face and twisted.

Goosebumps suddenly rose on Tuobatao's body, and he had to ask to understand. Di Ziyu pursed her lips and said with some reluctance: "The younger sister of the Pingyuan Duke, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess said it when she was chatting with me."

As for why the fourth princess chatted with him and why he twisted, the ministers had their own guesses in their hearts, and even Tuoba Tao couldn't cry or laugh.

There is such a dirty thing! I heard that the princess of the Xia Kingdom will not be hindered when she walks in front of the court, and if she thinks that this is the case, she can often see the foreign ministers.

The Hu people transitioned from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal one, and patriarchy was just beginning, and women still had a certain status. The princesses and concubines of the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes can often meet with their relatives at home, but chatting with a young general of the Qiang tribe is still beyond everyone's expectations.

Tuoba Tao immediately laughed:

"I can't imagine that General Di has such a noble confidant! If Tongwan City is captured and Helian Chang is really captured, then General Di, you will be the first merit! When the time comes, I will be an adult and give you the four princesses."

As soon as Tuobatao's promise came out, the brilliance on Di Ziyu's face was something that even a blind man could see. Tuoba Tao saw that he was a person who coveted beauty, and had some confidence in his submission, and after Di Ziyu said a few colleagues in the army who wanted to return to Shun, Tuoba Tao clearly expressed his acceptance, Di Ziyu was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that his trip was really right, not only yes, but also very good!

Di Ziyu was sent away by Tuoba Tao, and everyone in the tent was beaming, as if victory was just around the corner.

Hermulan stood behind Kumoti, his eyes full of circles.

For He Mulan, who doesn't understand the Xiongnu dialect, the scene just now is like this:

Di Ziyu: Wow, wow, wow! Wow!

Tuobatao: Wow? Wow, wow, wow? Wow cool wow, wow, wow!

Di Ziyu: Wow?

Ministers: Wow! Wow la la (gossip)

He Mulan, whose gossip was not satisfied, stood extremely boring, and suddenly understood why Su Hejun wanted to know the outcome of a thing, and he would not give up if he did not achieve his goal......

She's curious now, too!

Then the little handsome guy was asked by Tuobatao's red face and red ears, and his eyes were full of spring, which made He Mulan's heart even more stupid, and he couldn't wait to catch someone to ask.

The red face and red ears can still be said to be ashamed, this twisted to the point that the face is rippling, what kind of rhythm is this meowing?

Is the table loyal to the table into a light yƬ?

Could it be that Tuoba Tao is actually a master who can be subdued by both men and women, and this new general from the enemy country actually fell in love with him at first sight and fell in love with him again?

That's scary, isn't it?

Tuoba Tao is an eight-foot man!
