Chapter 400: Forced Surrender (3)

"PS: It's 400 chapters, write a P to celebrate.

In other words, when I was using the starting point's "Writer's Assistant" software, I accidentally found that it seems that you can choose to ban permanently with this software, rather than being able to block it for only a month like the PC side, and I don't know if it's true. Well, it's a good thing anyway, a weapon against trolls, give it a thumbs up.'"

"Stop dropping bombs!"

After the scheduled barrel bomb offensive, Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, immediately issued an order to the soldiers in charge of the thirty catapults to stop the attack.

At this time, the rain has gradually stopped, and the flames around the city are still ruthlessly ****ing everything in the vicinity of the city.

"Still not going to surrender?"

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Sima An exhaled, a pair of tiger eyes flashed with an astonishing fierce light, and turned to Zhao Hongrun beside him and said, "His Royal Highness King Su, it seems that he still does not intend to surrender in the city, and he is trying to resist to the end." ”

With that, he glanced at the convoy of the merchant army in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally.

According to his eye, the number of wooden barrels filled with fierce fire oil that can continue to burn in the rain on the many manpower or horsepower carts still seems to be a huge number in "cars".

"Wait." Probably understanding the meaning of Sima An's words, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said lightly.

Seeing this, Sima An smiled faintly and didn't care.

Anyway, he could already be sure that in terms of dealing with the enemy, His Royal Highness King Su would not be too lenient by his side.

That's enough.

"Then let's wait." He nodded.

Just then, a call was heard nearby.

"King Su, General Sima."

Zhao Hongrun and Sima An turned their heads to take a look, only to find that Wu Wu, the young patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, had come here with two young people of his own clan at some point.

"Haven't the chiefs of the Qiang and Qiang tribes in the land sent people over to surrender?" Glancing at the raging fire in the direction of Yucheng, Wu Wu asked in the language of the Wei State.

"Not yet." Zhao Hongrun shook his head, and immediately, with a little embarrassment in his expression, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wuwu, for letting you see this...... Bad scene......"

It's no wonder that Zhao Hongrun would say this, after all, the Qingyang tribe is also a branch of the Qingyang people, and in the opposite city, there are also people of the Qingyang tribe who killed their kindred in front of Wuwu, which made Zhao Hongrun, who really regarded the Qingyang tribe as a friend, a little guilty.

However, Wu Wu seemed quite free and easy about this, and after glancing at the city that was still burning in the distance, he shook his head and said frankly: "I understand what Your Highness means. However, on the contrary, the great power displayed by the Wei army today reassures me once again that the decision I made on my own initiative was the right one. This decision will not lead to the extinction of my Qingyang tribe. …… As for the people on the other side, it can only be said that they made the wrong choice. ”

Hearing this, Sima An touched his chin in surprise, and his evaluation of Wuwu, a member of the Qiang tribe, improved a little in his heart.

After all, Wu Wu's age is only the age of a weak crown in his opinion, but in this case, Wu Wu can make such an objective analysis so calmly, instead of being frizzy and angry because other warriors of the same Wu tribe were killed by their Wei people, and he can also say a correct opinion, which is not simple.

"If you think so, this king will be relieved." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then couldn't help asking, "Una, ...... she?"

"King Su rest assured, Una is not a little girl who doesn't know right from wrong and doesn't know right from wrong, although she can't bear the situation of those people of the Zong tribe at the moment......" Speaking of this, Wu Wu hesitated, and finally pleaded unbearably: "King Su, please let me go and shout to persuade you to surrender." I am also a member of the Zong tribe, and perhaps the Qiang people in the land will listen to the persuasion of their fellow people. ”

Zhao Hongrun and Sima An glanced at each other, and when they saw the latter shrug their shoulders and said that they didn't care, they then solemnly said to Wu Wu: "Please be sure to convince the two clans of Yucheng. …… In order to win this battle, the king will choose to do whatever it takes, but the king really does not want to do senseless killing. ”

Wu Wu was stunned when he heard this, and after carefully looking at Zhao Hongrun's expression, he nodded and said, "I will convey your country and King Su's way of 'benevolence' to the tribes of Yucheng." ”

After that, he hugged his fists like the soldiers of the Wei State, and immediately took the two young men of his own clan and rode to the direction of Yucheng.

Looking at the back of Wu Wu and the others leaving, Zhao Hongrun had a few doubts on his face.

"'The Way of Benevolence'? What is that? Does the General know? ”

"'Renwu'......" Sima An's expression was a little dazed when he heard this, and he said lightly: "That is, use force in a controlled manner and retain the minimum benevolence and righteousness." Do not kill the old and the sick, do not kill women and children, do not kill captives, do not commit adultery and plunder, do not burn people's houses, and do not destroy people's fields...... Roughly like this, it was the military regulations formulated by my Great Wei army at the beginning. Speaking of this, he pursed his lips, shook his head and commented: "Although it was proposed by a certain general in the previous generation, it ...... But it's quite naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve. ”

"Why?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "This king thinks it's very reasonable." ”

Sima An glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and suddenly asked, "Didn't Your Highness personally witness the cities and counties after being conquered by the Chu army?" ”

His words embarrassed the nearby Shangshui soldiers, and although Sima An did not accuse them by name, they were also red-faced.

It's no wonder, because they know very well what they had done to the captured Wei city under the leadership of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu.

It may be precisely for this reason that no matter how much the Wei people in Anling, Zhaoling, and Huaiyang hate them, the "new Wei people", like the soldiers of the Shang Water Army and the Yanling Army, they have never made any protests against those Wei nationals.

First, they are now also a member of the Wei people, and second, they feel ashamed.

And after hearing Sima An's words, Zhao Hongrun was also silent.

Of course, he had personally witnessed the frontline counties of his country after the war of Chu and Wei, and the destroyed heaven and earth, the houses that would be burned down, and the corpses of the Wei people who were killed and piled up into small hills, all of them were vivid.

This made him gradually understand why Sima An felt that the "way of benevolence and martial arts" was just naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve remarks.

However, he sincerely believes that the "Way of Benevolence and Martial Arts" is a good thing, and if it can become the style of the Wei army, he believes that when the Wei State absorbs foreigners in the future, there will be some less obstacles.

After all, violence can solve the problem, but it can't solve all the problems, which Zhao Hongrun knows very well, otherwise, the powerful Chu State would not be bound by the rebellions in its country one after another, and it would be forced to ask them for peace with the Wei State.

But judging from Sima An's tone, it seemed that this military regulation had been abandoned by their Wei army, which made Zhao Hongrun feel very sorry.

"Anything else? …… A general who believes in the "way of benevolence". ”

Hearing this, Sima An looked up at the gradually clearing sky, and said lightly: "Yes, for example, that guy in Chenggaoguan." ”

"Is it General Zhuhai?"

Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not surprised by this, after all, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, was originally a general who advocated harmony with the Sanchuan tribe, and in the past ten years, in addition to guarding the Chenggao Pass area from the encroachment of the Qian, he had never taken the initiative to send troops to fight against Sanchuan, nor had he ever taken the hatred of the Qianhe people to the Qianhe and the Qian.

"Renwu...... What?'

Secretly muttering this word, Zhao Hongrun thought thoughtfully.

At the same time, in the ceremonial felt tent of the patriarch in the city, the patriarch of the White Sheep tribe, Halgoh, had joined forces with the rest of the patriarchs to subdue the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, and tied him with ropes.

After that, the tribal chiefs united and controlled the tribal warriors of the Black Sheep tribe.

It is no wonder that after all, the patriarch of the Black Sheep Tribe, Rabitu, was just to persuade them to be enemies of the Wei State, so he only brought a few hundred people when he came, and the warriors of the Qiang and Qiang tribes in the city were more than ten times that of the former and more than twenty times, so it was not a matter of which to control the hundreds of Black Sheep people.

And this change made the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, furious, scolded, and cursed the tribe of the patriarchs of these tribes here in bad words, "They will definitely be destroyed by the Wei army"!

"Gagged him!"

The patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgoh, frowned and ordered Rabitu's mouth to be shut up.

However, it is undeniable that Rabitu's intimidation still made several tribal chiefs inevitably hesitate.

"(Ethnic Chinese) Halegokh, do you think the Wei people will really spare us?"

Halgoh waved his hand and said in relief: "As far as I know, the Wei people are generally quite kind, isn't the reason why they will attack us because you have betrayed their friendship?" …… Before that, when the Wei army, which called itself the 'Shang Shui Army', passed near our land, did they attack? ”

But the question is, if we do something like that, will the Wei people forgive us? …… ! Who leaked the news?! ”

"Alright." Halgoch waved his hand and said, "There's no point in worrying about these things now." …… So far, we can only show our greatest sincerity, hoping to counteract the anger in the hearts of Wei people. ”

"What if we surrender, and the Wei people still refuse to let us go?" A patriarch couldn't help but speak.

"Probably not." Halgoh shook his head and said, "If the Wei army rebelled and slaughtered us after accepting our surrender, then they will never again take in any prisoners in this land of Sanchuan. ”

"If the Wei people really refuse to let us go, we are all dead, who cares if they can accept any more surrendered people in the future......"

"Do you mean to fight the Wei army?" Halegoh glanced at the other party and pointed out uncontrollably: "With all due respect, isn't it a dead end to go out of the city and fight with the Wei army at this moment?" Why not gamble that the Wei people are not as murderous as we think? ”

"Gambling on a Wei army that slaughtered my Sanchuan people in the land of my Sanchuan is not as murderous as we think?"

The patriarchs glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

And at this moment, there was a sudden urgent exclamation from outside the tent.

"(Ethnic language) Patriarchs, the young patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, Wu Wu, came to surrender instead of the Wei army outside the city......"

"Huh?"

The tribal chiefs looked at each other. (To be continued.) )
