When the Fusang army raised the white flag, laid down their weapons and surrendered, Han Liang still had a trace of disbelief.

The 50,000 Fuso army in Kyoto Castle surrendered like this?

You must know that the Great Zhou army led by Han Liang only has more than 10,000 people, and because there is a sea barrier between the Great Zhou and Fusang, the supply of the Great Zhou army is very difficult, and it is even said that there is no logistics supply.

If the cannonballs on the battleship run out, then the 10,000-strong army led by himself can only become lambs to be slaughtered, to be slaughtered by the Fuso people.

In fact, although less than half a day has passed, almost a quarter of the ammunition of the fleet has already been consumed.

After all, although there were as many white warships led by Han Liang this time, the overall specifications of the warships were not very large, plus personnel, grain, grass, fresh water and other materials, in fact, they did not carry too many weapons and ammunition at all.

But the Fuso army surrendered.

It was really beyond Han Liang's expectations, and also beyond the expectations of all the Great Zhou soldiers.

However, it is better to surrender than not to surrender after all, after all, the Great Zhou soldiers have now started street battles with the Fusang army, and if they continue to fight, the Great Zhou army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Order the whole army to stop the attack!" Seeing the Fusang army erecting the white flag, Han Liang was full of thoughts in his mind for a moment, and came up with all kinds of possibilities, but in the end he made the decision to stop the attack.

Here, after Han Liang ordered the attack to be stopped, over there, Tokugawa Yasuaki, who heard the gunfire gradually extinguished, walked out of the shogunate's palace and walked step by step to the scene of the confrontation between the two armies.

"General Han!"

When he came to the front of the formation and saw Han Liang in front of him, Tokugawa Yasuaki gave Han Liang a fist salute according to the etiquette of the Great Zhou.

"Tokugawa shogun!" Regardless of the reason why Tokugawa Yasuaki ordered the surrender, Han Liang also politely returned a salute.

"The old man has ordered all the troops in the city to surrender to the Great Zhou Heavenly Army, and I also ask the general to see the old man's sincerity and not to abuse the surrendered soldiers."

"It's nature!" Han Liang nodded and said, "General Tokugawa, rest assured, not only will our army not abuse the soldiers who surrender to your country, but even the people in this Kyoto City will also order the soldiers not to harass." ”

"In this way, the old man will thank General Han a lot!"

Here, after Tokugawa Yasuaki ordered the Fuso army in the city to disarm and surrender, the Great Zhou soldiers were pressing one group after another of prisoners of war and walking outside the city.

In this regard, Tokugawa Yasuaki did not react much, but said to Han Liang: "General Han, the old man has prepared a thin wine in the cold house, and I also ask the general to appreciate the light and get together in the cold house." ”

Han Liang understood that Tokugawa Yasuaki would invite him, and he must have something extremely important to discuss with him, so he did not refuse, and took a few guards to Tokugawa Yasumaki's general's mansion.

"General Han, please!"

"Please!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Han Liang couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked directly: "General Tokugawa, there is something unclear about the general, and I ask General Tokugawa to solve the doubt." ”

"General Han, please general!" In fact, Tokugawa Yasuaki had already guessed nine times out of ten about the doubts in Han Liang's heart.

"According to the combat strength of your army, if you resist to the death, you should still be able to resist our army for a day, why did General Tokugawa order your army to surrender so quickly?" Han Liang asked a question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

Tokugawa Yasuaki shook his head with a wry smile and explained: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to continue to resist, it's really because General Han is leading a heavenly army, and our army has lost its will to fight before the battle.

In addition, if General Han understands the situation in Kyoto City, it should not be difficult to guess that the existing 50,000 troops in Kyoto City are all descendants of the old man, and the old man naturally does not want these troops to suffer too heavy losses. ”

Listening to Tokugawa Yasuaki's words, Han Liang was a little relieved, but he was still a little puzzled.

Without waiting for Han Liang to ask, Tokugawa Yasuaki said: "Of course, there is another important factor in the reason why the old man ordered the surrender so quickly, that is, His Majesty the King of our country had already escaped from Kyoto City when our army and your army were at war. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Han Liang was taken aback, "What General Tokugawa said is true?" ”

"Is it necessary for the old man to deceive General Han about this matter?" Tokugawa Yasuaki's smile was bitter, "In fact, the old man was also deceived by His Majesty the King.

Before the war, the old man advocated surrendering to your army, and he didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to lobby the old man in person at that time, and before entering the palace, His Majesty the King asked for an edict from His Majesty.

General Han, you said, His Majesty's edict is there, does the old man dare not lead his troops to resist?

Don't want to, the old man here has just led his troops to fight against your army, and His Majesty the King over there took advantage of the fact that the troops in the city were empty and absconded with a group of family members.

Hearing this, the old man was shocked and angry, so he directly ordered our army to surrender to your army. ”

After saying so much, Tokugawa Yasuaki saw that Han Liang still had a look of disbelief on his face, so he continued: "If General Han doesn't believe it, the old man can take out the edict of His Majesty the King and let General Han see it for himself.

Of course, now that the whole of Kyoto Castle is under the control of your army, the general can go to the palace and even search the whole city to see if His Majesty is still in Kyoto Castle. ”

Seeing that Tokugawa Yasuaki said this, Han Liang couldn't help but believe most of it, and said directly: "I see, but the general misunderstood General Tokugawa before, I hope General Tokugawa will not blame it!" ”

"Where's the general's words? When you come to Fusang, you represent the face of the Great Zhou Emperor, how dare the old man blame? ”

Seeing that Tokugawa Yasuaki was so knowledgeable, Han Liang couldn't help but nod in his heart.

"The reason why Shogun led his troops here is that he had already talked to Shogun Tokugawa before the war, so I wonder what Shogun Tokugawa would do?" Han Liang asked.

Tokugawa Yasuaki smiled bitterly: "General Han represents the Heavenly Empire, if there is any request, the old man will try his best to meet it."

However, General Han should understand the old man's plight, and now that His Majesty the King has absconded from the city, and the local daimyo has a lot of resistance to the old man. If the old man agrees to the general's request at this time, I am afraid that the old man will become the target of the public. ”

"This old fox really doesn't leak a drop of water!" Han Liang scolded secretly in his heart, frowned and said, "In this way, your country really intends not to pay any price?" ”

"How dare the old man?" Tokugawa Yasuaki hurriedly begged, "But there are some things that the old man really can't do!" Although the old man is in the position of shogun, he is pressed by His Majesty the King above, and there is a daimyo below.

At this time, even if the old man agreed to the general's conditions, I am afraid that in the end, due to pressure from all sides, the old man's words can only become empty words in the end. ”
