Town! ”

Liu Zhuwen arched his hand at Mei Bingbing, and shouted backwards to order the army to enter the city.

The army followed behind Mei Bingbing and the others, and slowly marched towards Huazhu City.

The interior of Huazhu City is not very luxurious, and the houses on the street are mainly single-storey earthen houses. Two-story wooden buildings are rare.

Of course, this is much worse than Changsha City, and it looks similar to those more prosperous counties in the territory of Guangnan West Road in the Great Song Dynasty.

There were only a few defenders at the gates.

The people entered and left the city, and no one interrogated them.

Obviously, Mei Bingbing had no intention of facing the Great Song Forbidden Army from the beginning.

The arrival of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty attracted many people in the city to stop and watch. There are also shopkeepers or servants running out of the shops on the side of the street to look.

There is a hint of hostility in someone's eyes.

Just saw Mei Bingbing in front of and behind the army, this hostility quietly dissipated, and they all knelt on the ground and saluted Mei Bingbing.

Some of them are still called "young city lords".

Obviously, Mei Bingbing has not been the city lord of this Huazhu City for long.

Mei Bingbing did not take a stand, and repeatedly gave up to the people on the street.

This made Liu Zhuwen and others have a very good impression of him.

The patriarchs of the Dali tribes inherited by blood, and Mei Bingbingzi inherited his father's business, and he used to be the biggest anointing child in Huazhu City, but he didn't see that kind of unruly and unruly atmosphere.

His kind attitude towards the people is quite consistent with Zhao Dongting's proposition of benevolence and love for the people.

And the people seemed to be quite convinced of the young city lord.

After entering the city, Mei Bingbing led the army straight to the military camp in the west of the city.

The barracks are surrounded by fences, and the houses are still more than 100 meters away. The barracks gate was guarded by only a few soldiers in cloth armor and armed with spears, and it was quite empty.

Mei Bingbing rode a horse and walked slowly beside Liu Zhuwen, and sighed softly without waiting for Liu Zhuwen to speak: "Since the establishment of the forbidden army by the Dali royal family, our Huazhu warriors have been transferred fifty percent, and the western military camp has been emptied. Commander Liu, let the soldiers rest here first, if they don't stay, there are still vacant houses in the East Military Camp. ”

Liu Zhuwen arched his hand at Mei Bingbing again, "Then thank you to City Lord Mei." ”

He knew that there were not many soldiers in Huazhu City now.

Originally, the soldiers were transferred to form the Dali Forbidden Army, and after that, they were transferred to the prince to attack the Song Dynasty.

Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger.

Duan Qilin gathered the strength of the whole country to attack the Great Song Dynasty, which can be said to have hollowed out the family foundations of these tribes in Dali.

I think Mei Bingbing and others also have great resentment about this, otherwise, they would not have taken the initiative to lead the army to surrender.

It's hard to say that Duan Qilin can't win the hearts of the people, but he must not be supported by these Dali patriarchs.

Perhaps he wanted to emulate Zhao Dongting's policy of eliminating the aristocracy in the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't think that Dali's national conditions were completely different from those of the Great Song Dynasty.

The difference between his vision and Zhao Dongting is too great, which is not something that he can make up for by reading group books. After all, Zhao Dongting's thoughts and vision are too much beyond this era.

Liu Zhuwen let the army into the camp.

Mei Bingbing watched from the side, and said a little apologetically: "Commander Liu, the granary in the city is empty, and I can't entertain you soldiers anymore." ”

Liu Zhuwen's face showed a look of surprise, "Has Huazhubu already reached such a situation?" ”

Even in Shicheng County, Xindingbu, and Luohu, there is still more or less surplus food. It doesn't seem to be as exhausted as this Hua Zhubu.

Mei Bingbing sighed when she heard this, her eyes gently glanced at Wang Ziqian, who was not far from Liu Zhuwen's side, and said, "When Marshal Wang led the army to the battle, this Huazhu City was still in charge of my father. He not only sent half of the troops in the city out, but also took away all the grain and grass in the city. ”

Liu Zhuwen was even more puzzled, "The Duan clan in Dali exploited you so much, how could Ling Zun still support the Duan clan's reckless military behavior?" ”

Mei Bingbing said: "In my father's generation, my uncle and father fought for power, and it was the help of the Duan clan in Dali that allowed my father to keep the position of patriarch. My father inherited the grace of the Duan family. ”

"I see."

Liu Zhuwen nodded lightly, and only asked again: "Then why did you choose to surrender to our Great Song Dynasty now, Lord of Mei City?" ”

Mei Bingbing said: "After my father learned that the army was defeated on the front line, he died depressed, and our Mei family owed the Duan family to repay the affection, and we always had to find a way back for the uncles and brothers in the clan." ”

Liu Zhuwen sighed softly: "The city lord of Mei and the old city lord value love and righteousness, and their heroic deeds are admired by Liu Zhuwen. ”

His words are really not a compliment, because in his capacity, there is no need to compliment Mei Bingbing at all.

But the character and deeds of Mei Bingbing and his father are indeed admirable.

The old city lord is gracious and spares no effort to help the Dali Emperor to repay the kindness.

Mei Bingbing is righteous, and in order to protect the people in Huazhubu, he resolutely chose to surrender to the Song Dynasty. All the while, he didn't think much about himself.

Of course, the opposite can also be said.

The old city lord does not value righteousness, and Mei Bingbing does not value kindness.

But since ancient times, it has been difficult to have it both ways.

As Mei Bingbing said, their Mei family has repaid the Duan family's kindness.

If Zhao Dongting was here, maybe he would say that the old city lord was too pedantic. Duan's kindness is really nothing in front of the entire Huazhu people.

Only Liu Zhuwen won't say much.

After the army entered the barracks, he and Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and more than a dozen people followed Mei Bingbing to the city lord's mansion.

Sword Fourteen, Red Ghost, Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu and other True Martial Realm masters all went together.

Such a powerful camp is that Mei Bingbing surrendered by fraud, and it is unlikely that he wants to murder Liu Zhuwen and others.

In fact, of course, he didn't.

Mei Bingbing is sincere and sincere.

In the city lord's mansion, after the banquet was set up, the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

From beginning to end, Mei Bingbing not only did not say that he wanted to continue to be in charge of the Huazhu Department, but also bluntly said to Liu Zhuwen and others that all the Huazhu Department would obey the control of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

He's going to give up power automatically.

On the contrary, Liu Zhuwen couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the Lord of Mei City think of continuing to be in charge of this Huazhu Department?" ”

Mei Bingbing chuckled, "I have been to the Great Song Dynasty for two years to study, and I have witnessed the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and I ask myself that it is difficult to do better than the officials of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

He seemed quite free-spirited.

Liu Zhuwen and the others were slightly stunned, and then just smiled.

Mei Bingbing is indeed much better than Du Yongchang and those people in the new Ding Department.

At dusk, Changsha City.

And a great army entered the city.

There are still many people rushing to the streets and the city to watch and greet them.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu also came back with the Flying Dragon Army.

As the forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty, the prestige of the Flying Dragon Army in the hearts of the people of Changsha is no longer under the Tiankui Army.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu listened to the shouts of the people in the city, triumphant, and led the army into the city slowly.

Only Zhao Dongting did not rush to the city to greet him in person this time.

After all, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu are only army commanders, and there is still a gap in status compared to Yue Peng. He was inconvenient to greet him.

It wasn't until the eunuch reported that Zhao Da and Zhao Hu had returned to the Feilong military camp with the Feilong Army, that Zhao Dongting ordered Zhao Da and Zhao Hu to be announced.

These two reckless men have made a lot of achievements in Kuizhou Road, and even Zhao Dongting feels impressed.

These two reckless men who didn't know anything before are now more and more like qualified military commanders.

When Zhao Da and Zhao Hu arrived in the imperial study, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to give a few words of verbal praise first.

The two brothers did not give in, no matter how Zhao Dongting praised them, they just cracked their mouths and laughed. It seems that Zhao Dongting is praising the benefits.

This stunned Zhao Dongting was a little crying and laughing, and his voice gradually changed, so that Zhao Da and Zhao Hu continued to study hard, and did not become complacent.

After only talking for more than ten minutes, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and asked the two brothers to go home to accompany their mother-in-law.

The two brothers hurriedly retreated. I guess that at this time, I also think about my mother-in-law.

The Wyverns settled down in the city.

Another day.

In the territory of Jingnan Road, Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the rest of the Tianjie Army and the Tianxiong Army to Xiangyang City.

The head of Xiangyang City reproduces the scene of military armor.

Only the Great Song Forbidden Army did not cause any harassment to the people in the city.

After the initial commotion, the people gradually calmed down again.

No matter which dynasty soldiers take over this Xiangyang Mansion, all the people have to do is to run for a living.

The Yuan Dynasty was not popular in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one thought of going to trouble the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army for the Yuan Dynasty. However, the behavior of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army not to disturb the people has caused a lot of praise.
