Longshouguan easily changed hands.

Duan Yanzhen didn't know where he went, and except for a few of the leaderless Dali soldiers who escaped with Gao Yu Chenglong, the rest were all taken prisoner of Shimenfan.

The news that Shimen Fan did not kill the soldiers spread throughout the army in a short period of time, and the Dali soldiers who laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground were very calm, since they didn't have to die, why bother desperately?

The officials have all run away, and a few small soldiers do not surrender, do they still put their lives into it?

The big soldiers who were crowded at the gate knelt on the ground inside and outside the gate, because of their existence, the guards who wanted to close the door couldn't even close the door, and the Shimen Fan chasing soldiers were behind them, and the door was full of people, how to close it?

Duan Wu, who originally thought that there would be a bloody battle, entered the city very easily, and he didn't even have to climb the city wall, so he went in as soon as he walked in.

After entering the city, Duan Wu immediately disarmed all the Dali soldiers, sealed the arsenal, gathered all the prisoners in the urn city to take care, selected the generals who led the troops to come out, stripped them down to only cloth clothes, and took them to the Guan Tower to wait.

After waiting for a while, Changsun Hong arrived at Guancheng with a ghost soldier in heavy armor.

Duan Wu took him and went up to the building. Settle the ghosts and go to the barracks to rest and shelter from the rain, and eat some hot soup to get rid of the dampness.

Changsun Hong also drank a bowl of ginger soup, fighting in the heavy rain, it was not so pleasant, and it was easy to fall ill.

Duan Wu took advantage of his soup to explain Shimenfan's policy towards prisoners to the Dali officers, and said that he would let them go back.

"Shimen Fan will not kill those who surrender, you can rest assured." Duan Wu swore an oath: "We sent troops only for the side of the Qing monarch, to put it bluntly, we want to be higher than Chenglong's head and get rid of this traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people." The rest do not ask, everyone can go home, you can go home or return to the camp. ”

He turned his head and winked at Changsun Hong with his eyes, and Changsun Hong nodded, so Duan Wu turned around and waved his hand to signal that they could go.

The Dali officers were a little confused: This will let us go? Isn't it a little disrespectful?

How can you say that we are also at war, so let us go?

Looking at each other's appearances, it doesn't look like a joke.

After looking at each other for a while, they bowed down in a panic and thanked each other, and ran away in a hurry on their front and back feet, for fear that the Shimen people would regret it.

Looking at the backs of a group of people, Duan Wu laughed evilly, turned around and changed to a serious expression, and asked Changsun Hong, who was still drinking soup, "What should we do next?" ”

"Let's take a day off." Changsun Hong looked at the rain outside and blew a breath: "It's raining so hard to march and fight, the iron man can't stand it, Gao Yuchenglong has already run away, he must have fled towards Dali City, the Duan family is waiting for him, let them go dog eat dog." ”

He looked at the sky with a smile, as if there was something funny in the low clouds in the sky: "It will take time for the people of the Thirty-six Barbarian Tribes to come, just wait for a day, tomorrow the rain will stop, and it will not be too late for us to pass." ”

Duan Wu thought for a while, bowed down to receive the order, and then asked: "Those remnants of Dali, there are about seven or eight thousand people, they are all locked up in the urn city, are they dealt with according to the old rules?" ”

"Naturally, we can defeat the crippled Gao Chenglong without bloodshed, and the soldiers who were put back in the past have made great contributions, they are the seeders, the propaganda team, and our best comrades-in-arms." Eldest Sun Hong smiled even more happily, lowered his gaze from the sky, looked at Duan Wu and said: "Shimen Fan Kuanren, even the enemy is not willing to kill, and when it reaches the ears of the people of Dali, they will naturally not reject us thousands of miles away, which is a necessary foundation for us to gain a foothold in Dali in the future." ”

"Second owner, oh, no, I mean sir, you are really thinking long-term with this wonderful move, to be honest, at first you let the prisoners go, I don't understand, and it is better to drive them to Shimenfan as slaves than to put them back." Duan Wu sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Now I know that Mr. thinks so far that I can't reach it!" ”

Changsun Hong drank the hot soup in one gulp, got up with his mouth smashed, patted Duan Wu's shoulder, and said, "Think more, look at more, you can imagine what you can imagine, what is the picture of fighting a war?" It's just a local population, but it can't just be beaten down with a knife, that will only get people, but not people's hearts. How to eat it, how to vomit it sooner or later, maybe you have to take your own life. ”

"And getting people's hearts is different, simple and crude methods don't work, you have to be tactful and roundabout, with people's hearts, you can use people's hearts to do what you want to do, so that people will support you, in order to occupy this territory forever."

Duan Wu realized, squinted his eyes and nodded.

Changsun Hong took off the soaked clothes on his body, revealing half of his body full of strength, and then approached the fire pit in the middle of the room, stared at the flames and said, "When you finish the matter, you will also come over to roast the fire, and if you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will get sick." ”

"Yes!" Duan Wu arched his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

The soldiers in the city of Urn, after an hour of rain, were told that they could leave, but hundreds of articulate men were singled out and taken elsewhere, not knowing what to do.

The soldiers who were released were all wet and embarrassed, but they finally picked up a life, and they were extremely happy. Thousands of people had nowhere to go, so of course they had to go in groups in the direction of Dali City.

Longshouguan is 90 miles away from Dali City, although there is no big mountain and deep stream along the way, but it is also an extremely uncomfortable thing to walk in the rain by relying on the footboard, so thousands of people are going less and less, many people deserted all the way, and so on at noon the next day, when the people with fast feet finally walked to the city, they found that Dali City is a different scene.

At the west gate of the city, along the outside of the city wall, the barbarian tents with no end in sight obscured the land in view, and the woods outside the city were cut down and used to build a camp. Groups of brute soldiers patrolled outside the city, surrounding the city of Dali like an iron bucket.

Before the soldiers could get closer, they were driven away by the menacing barbarians, and they were strictly ordered to go home, not to gather crowds, not to return to the camp, and to kill those who violated them.

This attitude surprised the Dali soldiers who thought that this was King Qin's barbarians, which was not what King Qin's soldiers and horses should look like.

With this kind of question, there are also the Duan family father and son with complicated feelings.

Yesterday evening, Gao Yuchenglong, who threw away his armor and ran back to Dali City, was taken down by Duan Xiangxing, who was waiting at the city gate, and the rest of the Gao family in the city was washed by Duan Yanzhen in the morning of the same day.

Duan Zhixiang hadn't been happy for too long, and suddenly found that the thirty-six barbarians in eastern Yunnan, who couldn't ask for it a few days ago, quietly appeared outside Dali City when he was happily cleaning up the grass Gao family, with as many as five or six thousand people, banners flying all over the sky, and almost all the tribes came, including the two tribes that had promised to help the Duan clan in advance.

This reason doesn't make sense, the barbarians value profits, and they don't talk about feelings with Dali, they only talk about interests with Dali.

Although they keep saying that they are called to contribute to the defense of Dali Sheji, they may not believe this reason.
