Chapter 130: Surrender
Two days later, a report on the peculiar 'sit-down war' in front of the Liping Walled City was put in front of Yang Yichen.
Yang Yichen couldn't help but exclaim: "It seems that our little friend really brought us a surprise." It is not easy for him to be able to convince the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army. ”
Yu Wenhua also finished reading the battle report, and muttered: "Yang Shuai, with our current strength, I am afraid it is a little difficult to eat 100,000 Southern Xinjiang Coalition troops. Look, do you want to bring another batch of border troops over?"
Yang Yichen's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after a while, he said:
"The border army is for Your Majesty to guard the northern frontier, now the situation in the Central Plains is so chaotic, Your Majesty has never thought of transferring the border army into the Central Plains, I have moved the leopard cavalry privately this time is considered to be acting without authorization, and then mobilized, I am afraid that General Shu will not be able to excuse us in front of His Majesty. ”
Yu Wenhua frowned and said, "But our original plan was to wipe out all the main forces of the Southern Xinjiang Dao, so that the Southern Xinjiang could only be controlled by us in the future."
But now that Xu Fusheng has reconciled with the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army, we will not be able to completely control Southern Xinjiang. Look, are we looking for an opportunity to just kill them all?
Yu Wenshi, who was on the side, shook his head and said: "Second brother, Xu Fusheng is still our most loyal ally so far, once we miss, with his wrist, not to mention controlling the southern Xinjiang at that time, I am afraid that our people will all fall into this quagmire."
Why do you think that he is a Han man who can stop the attack of the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army, it must be supported by all ethnic groups, not to mention that he is also a legitimate horse and divine envoy.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we eat all those warriors, but don't forget that he himself is still a Yufu Realm martial artist, and there is no shortage of strong people around him, do you think we can kill him at once?
If we can't kill them, do we still have to guard against such an opponent every day?
In my opinion, from the moment he cooperated with us, I found that he was different from the previous rulers of Southern Xinjiang.
What's more, now our primary target is those who are trying to get involved in the dynasty in the Daomen, Xu Fusheng's strength in this regard is very important to us, so it's better not to act rashly!"
Yang Yichen bowed his head slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter to us whether we keep this group of soldiers in Southern Xinjiang or not, the important thing is that for the dynasty, we only paid a small price to annex the entire Southern Xinjiang.
And His Majesty's several expeditions to Goguryeo have returned in vain, and the people have complained, this time we are equivalent to adding a great achievement to Your Majesty to expand the territory, and for the Yuwen family, this achievement is enough to redeem the prestige of the previous losses.
As for the plan...... There is no immutable plan in this world, and the ending in front of us is already very good, so don't make any extraneous branches. ”
"But," Yu Wenhua still insisted: "Even if you don't get rid of this group of Southern Xinjiang warriors, you should kill Xu Fusheng." Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not betray the dynasty, just as he betrayed the entire southern frontier this time?"
"Of course, I don't fully trust our little friend, but I understand him, after all, everyone has selfish intentions, and he is not the only one. Yang Yichen smiled and glanced at Yu Wenhua, and his meaningful gaze immediately made the latter break out in a cold sweat.
After Nanjiang Province is completely ruled by the dynasty this time, the administrative structure of the dynasty will inevitably be set up here, and for such an undeveloped place, it will inevitably be the fruit that many people will compete for.
If the previous agreement is reversed and Xu Fusheng is killed, then the Yuwen family can completely swallow this place in Southern Xinjiang.
Something, after all
It is better to hold it in anyone's hands than in your own hands, not to mention that Xu Fusheng's wrist has also seen it, having such a person in southern Xinjiang is not a good thing for Yu Wenhua.
Yang Yichen paced around the tent a few times and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about how to deal with Nanjiang Dao these days.
Conquest is much more difficult than conquest, and we can wipe out the warriors in the south, but we will soon find that more warriors are standing before us.
I remember that the emperor invaded southern Xinjiang 20 years ago, and he was always a headache for the local rebels. At that time, General Gao Jiong, the recognized genius commander of the dynasty, was sitting in southern Xinjiang, and he swore that the rebellious army would not be destroyed for a day, and he would not return to Kyoto for a day.
As a result, Gao Shuai was trapped in the quagmire of southern Xinjiang for five years, and finally the emperor and Feng Tianming reached an agreement, and he went back. ”
Yang Yichen paused and said, "Therefore, what is really difficult to conquer is the human heart. Now the people of the whole southern Xinjiang hate their divine envoys more than they hate the dynasty, this is a good opportunity, why should we destroy such a good target?
Let him do the thankless task of suppressing the rebels! I hope you will understand that southern Xinjiang is a very hard bone, and if you don't have an incomparably strong stomach, you can't digest this bone. ”
Yuwen Feiyan opened the military tent and entered, and said, "Yang Shuai, the person trapped in the Yupingtong Canyon has just sent someone to deliver this letter. ”
The letter was written by the current commander, Li Cheng, who hoped that Yang Yichen would accept the surrender of the thousands of seriously wounded and sick people in the Yupingtong Gorge and treat them as prisoners.
"Hmph!" Yu Wenhua snorted coldly: "This Li Cheng must have heard about Goguryeo before he dared to make such a request." ”
His Majesty's first conquest of Goguryeo failed because of the repeated surrenders of Goryeo Marshal Poli Zaro.
The people of the Yuwen family have the most say in this matter, and it is ridiculous to say it. At that time, Yuwenshu led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Liaodong City, and the city was about to be broken, but His Majesty ordered that if Goguryeo wanted to surrender, it would be appeased and accepted, and no more attacks should be made.
It is precisely for this reason that every time the city is broken, the Goryeo people come out to surrender, and the generals stop the attack, and play to Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty's instructions arrive, the Goguryeo people have repaired the city wall again and made a good defense.
came and went and surrendered at least dozens of times, and finally returned in vain due to the defeat of the navy, and the only defeat in Yuwenshu's life was that time.
Yang Yichen was silent, pondering, and after a long time, he said slowly: "You don't understand why Your Majesty did that, but why did General Shu also obey the order?
It's the hearts of the people, and His Majesty's expansion of territory is for the people's will, not to occupy a certain country, so he will accept the invitation to surrender several times. Moreover, at that time, there were still restrictions on the Daomen, and in the eyes of the Daomen who advocated humanity, every life of the Goguryeo people had to be protected.
This led to the defeat of the normal war, and as for what kind of thoughts the Dao Sect contained, I am afraid that only the gods in the sky know.
In any case, we can only accept the surrender of these people, otherwise as long as we have a reputation for slaughtering prisoners of war, then our trip to southern Xinjiang will completely become a reason for the Daomen to incite the people to attack Your Majesty.
At that time, not to mention merit, I'm afraid we will all become sinners of the dynasty through the ages, hey......"
"But," Yu Wenhua argued, "Li Cheng obviously hopes that he can borrow it
The machine gets rid of the wounded and sick to reduce the consumption of food, and they may be able to support it for another two days!"
Yang Yichen shook his head, as if to exclude some superfluous emotions, and smiled: "So Li Cheng is not simple, and his heart is ruthless enough."
But compared to our dynasty, southern Xinjiang is really an insignificant place, and the reason why the dynasty has been able to develop so strong under the leadership of His Majesty is not because we have the strongest army, but because we have a mind that can accommodate everything.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Since they are doomed, what is it for us to wait two more days? to accept the request of Li Cheng, and at the same time report to him on the battle report of the Li Ping Walled City, asking him to surrender. I'll give them the treatment a warrior deserves. ”
Two days later, in the early morning, the Dong warriors trapped in the Yupingtong Gorge finally made a decision: surrender.
"This Li Cheng is really capable of bending and stretching! It seems that he wants to keep a little spark for revenge in the future. Yang Yichen said with a smile while looking at the surrender letter.
"In that case, we might as well put out these fires now. As long as we don't see this letter, in another seven days, when they all starve to death, we can go into the valley to collect the corpses, and we will not bear the honor of slaughtering prisoners of war," Yu Wenhua and muttered.
Yang Yichen smiled and said, "Why bother, killing them will not do us any good for ruling the southern frontier, since how to deal with these tens of thousands of soldiers is a very difficult decision, then let our little allies have a headache with this problem."
Anyway, they are all from southern Xinjiang, so I should also go to Liping Walled City to meet him, and then hand over these prisoners of war to him. ”
The city of Liping has been cleansed of the wounds of the war, the bodies of the soldiers have been buried, and the mess after the war has been cleaned up.
The Southern Xinjiang coalition army has slowly retreated under the leadership of the second generation of various ethnic groups, and Song Wenzhao only left 10,000 Zhuang wolf soldiers. Song Wenzhao temporarily stationed in the Liping Walled City as a representative of the Zhuang people, waiting for Yang Yichen's arrival.
"Lord Divine Envoy, there is one more thing ......" Song Wenzhao hesitated for a moment before he said: "The Zhuang clan has already appointed the eldest prince as the heir of the patriarch. ”
Of course, Xu Fusheng understood what Song Wenzhao meant, and slowly spoke: "You want Kramu to be the patriarch of the Zhuang clan, right?"
"Yes. I think we've had an agreement on this for a long time. Song Wenzhao still had a layer of meaning that he didn't say, that is, in front of the Liping Walled City, he actually saved Xu Fusheng.
Xu Fusheng is also very aware of this, and in the future, he still needs the support of Song Wenzhao and the Zhuang people.
"Song Shuai, you have military power, as long as you have your support, the eldest prince can't compete with Kramu, what are you worried about?"
Song Wenzhao sighed and said, "The wolf soldiers of the Zhuang clan have always been loyal to the patriarch, if you oppose it openly, then I will find that none of the soldiers will obey my command, so we need help from you." ”
Xu Fusheng nodded and said, "Then I understand, there is no problem with this." But now that your patriarch has a candidate, and it is already known, we had better bear with it.
When we return to Fengcheng and let the old patriarch have an accident, and the eldest prince makes a few more mistakes and becomes infamous, Kramu can be the patriarch in the name of righteousness.
As long as we stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang, and you have the Zhuang wolf soldiers in your hands, it will not be difficult for you to change the position of the patriarch of any clan. ”
Song Wenzhao stretched out his hand and shook it with the divine envoy.
