Chapter 69: Surrender
Chapter 69: Surrender
The small subordinate tribes around the Duan Division, since they heard that Duan Wenpi had been defeated, the soldiers and horses that Duan Wenpi had worked so hard to put together suddenly fled, including the rapid disintegration of the soldiers and horses of the Duan Clan's headquarters, which also greatly surprised Duan Wenpi's expectations.
The disheartened Duan Wenpi looked at Duan Wenzhen, who was injured, and Su Fuyan, who was hit by the arrow, and shook his head in frustration, and his ambition turned into a mess that could not be cut and cleaned.
Duan Wenzhen looked at Duan Wenpi and said, Brother, let's stop fighting, what does it matter if you let that Duan Chen be this position? As long as the three of us brothers can be good, why do we care so much? Besides, in itself, Duan Chen is Duan Qizhen's eldest son, and he deserves to be the leader.
Duan Wenpi glanced at Duan Wenzhen, sighed, and said, Ah Zhen, Ah Jun also came to tell me last night, it's similar to what you mean, let me make peace with Duan Chen, and I can't fight anymore. If you continue to fight, nothing good will come of it.
Duan Wenzhen listened to Duan Wenpi's words and said, Brother, what are you worried about? Are you worried that Duan Chen will attack us? Cut down the three of us brothers to the roots? Or do you have something unspeakable?
Duan Wenpi took two steps back and forth in the tent, rubbing his hands constantly, looking extremely anxious.
Duan Wenzhen looked at Duan Wenpi walking around, and said, Brother, you have an idea, what are you doing here and around? I'm almost dizzy from you! Elder brother! Can't you let go of your ambitions? Do you still want to rip the ground and seal the king? Divide Liaoxi? You can't think of anything else in your head?
When Duan Wenpi heard this, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Duan Wenzhen, I said Ah Zhen! Can you please stop me thinking?
Duan Wenzhen smacked on the ground, and said, Brother! I don't think you're thinking at all, I think you've made up your mind to let our brothers go to the funeral together for your stupid delusions?
Duan Wenpi didn't bother to be as knowledgeable as Duan Wenzhen, so he called the guards in and asked, how many people can we mobilize now? The guard looked at Duan Wenpi's face, but he didn't dare to speak, Duan Wenpi was anxious for a while, and shouted loudly, Speak quickly! How many more centaurs?
The guard glanced at Duan Wenpi, then at Duan Wenzhen behind him, and said in a low voice, Lord Wang, the only direct troops we can mobilize now are your five hundred personal guards, and a part of the thousand-person team loyal to you, a total of no more than two thousand.
Ay! Duan Wenpi let out a long sigh, waved his hand, let the guard go out, turned around and sat next to Duan Wenzhen, the two of them sat quietly like this, no one talked to anyone, this silence did not last long, only heard a loud noise, and the curtain of the tent was lifted.
Duan Wenpi was about to get angry, and when he saw who broke in without warning, he raised his eyes to see that it was his third brother and his confidant who brought Su Fu in, Duan Wenpi looked unhappy, waved his hand, and asked, Why are you two here? Is there anything that matters? I'm here to discuss matters with my second brother, and if there's nothing to do, you can step down first.
Duan Wenjun walked over regardless of it, sat on his second brother's bed, and didn't say a word, Duan Wenpi saw the virtue of his third brother, and knew that even if he asked, he couldn't ask anything useful, so he asked Su Fuyan, General Su, what is the situation?
Although Su Muyan is still wearing a bandage, because his body is really strong and his recovery power is extremely strong, he is now alive and well, if he is not still bandaged, I am afraid no one will know that he has been wounded by an arrow.
Su Muyan said, Lord Wang, according to reliable reports, the Mica Department, the Busu Department, and the Daxi Department, these three tribes have all taken refuge in Duan Chen, and Duan Chen and Duan Wu have joined forces, and now Duan Chen's rate has advanced to the south bank of the Zhanghe River, and it is estimated that it is only half a day's journey to Lingzhi! However, Duan Chen's department is stationed on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, constantly recruiting the surrounding small tribes and scattered tribes, so to speak, now there are more and more people on Duan Chen's side, on the contrary, there has been a phenomenon of defection on our side.
Su Fuyan paused and continued, there was a centurion last night, who took more than 200 horsemen to join Duan Chen, and Duan Chen directly made him a leader, I am afraid that if this continues, there will be more and more fugitive soldiers in our headquarters, so we have to think of a way to come quickly......
Duan Wenpi frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, What did you just say? What collar?
Su Fuyan listened to Duan Wenpi's questioning and said, this seems to be the establishment used by Duan Chen when he reorganized the people after taking over the Monaro Ministry, three hundred households are one Niu Lu, five Niu Lu is a Jia La, two Jia La is a solid mountain, two solid mountains are a banner, and the assistant leader is an official position in charge of three hundred households. Further up there are the leaders, the commanders or something.
Duan Wenpi pursed his lips contemptuously when he heard Su Fuyan say this, I thought it was something new, wasn't it just imitating the Jin army? What else is there for Niu Lu Jiala? Let's pull the calf!
Duan Wenjun also heard about the establishment of Duan Chen's department for the first time, and hurriedly asked Su Muyan, in addition to the changes in the system, what are these Niu Lu Jiala, and what other privileges do they have?
Su Fuyan thought about it and said, it seems that there is, whether it is a leader or a staff leader, they are all in charge of the soldiers and horses to govern the people, according to the size of the contribution, a large number of people and animals are rewarded, and the descendants can be hereditary and replaceable, and they have always maintained glory and wealth.
Duan Wenjun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Su Fuyan say this, he stood up and said to Duan Wenpi, Brother! I thought about it, it's okay for us to make peace with Duan Chen, even if it's okay to surrender, but, the premise is that let's make our own flag, in this way, although we are obeying Duan Chen's orders, but, in fact, between the flag owner and the flag owner, isn't it equal? In other words, we still retain some independence!
Duan Wenzhen heard what the third brother said, and also felt that this method was feasible, so he nodded, and said, This is not an additional condition that we proposed, it's just that you Duan Chen stipulates this, we just ask for it, we can also divide the territory and population, it should be ours, we must fight for it!
Duan Wenpi frowned, and suddenly said, thinking about it like this, it does make sense, but what if Duan Chen has to attack us? Duan Wenzhen and Duan Wenjun glanced at each other, and the two laughed together, making Duan Wenpi stunned, Duan Wenpi was a little annoyed, so he said angrily, I'll talk to you two about business! Are you two teasing me here?
Duan Wenzhen glanced at Duan Wenjun and said, let's say it, Ah Jun, Duan Wenjun smiled slightly, and said to Duan Wenpi, my good big brother! Think about it, why would people like Duan Wu cooperate with Duan Chen? It must be profitable! I estimated that Duan Wu was either in a cooperative relationship with Duan Chen, or as we thought, he sought the position of a flag master, looking at Duan Wenpi with a rainy face.
Duan Wenjun paused for a moment, and continued to say Okay, let's ignore Duan Wu for now, let's just say Duan Chen, the grassland in western Liaoning is so big, there are more than three or five tribes, and besides, there are also Yuwen Ministry, Murong Ministry, he Duan Chen, but anyone who is a little ambitious, will he kill us? What do we get by killing us? No matter which tribe will not be single-minded with you, it is just forced by your strong force to bow down to you, once the situation changes, it will definitely not go down the same road with you!
Therefore, Duan Chen will definitely treat us well, whether it is really good or coquettish, but we have obtained the position of the banner master, and the money and food of the militia are still in our hands, what are we afraid of?
After listening to Duan Wenjun's explanation, Duan Wenpi was still a little uneasy, and asked rhetorically, what if Duan Chen was really the kind of man who had no ambitions and was only angry for a while?
Looking at Duan Wenpi's sad face, Duan Wenjun was also very helpless, so he had to step forward and pat Duan Wenpi's shoulder and say, Big brother! If that's the case, what are you worried about? It's a big deal, the three brothers are on the road together, are you so afraid of death? Yes? Hahaha!
When Duan Wenpi heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he stammered, what nonsense, what am I afraid of death?.. Are you not afraid? Laugh at me!
Duan Wenzhen and Duan Wenjun looked at Duan Wenpi's annoyed and embarrassed appearance, and their faces couldn't help but smile, and even Su Fuyan, who had always been known for his seriousness on the side, couldn't help laughing, and with Duan Wenpi's roar, bursts of laughter came from the tent......
