The city was in a hurry, now was the weakest time for the tribe, and the Han people fell into the ground, which he did not expect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire tribe had less than four thousand cavalry, and that counted all the men from sixteen to sixty, and some of them were still blocked out of the city, and the military strength inside the city was even weaker.

If he breaks through the siege, whether he can escape or not, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city will definitely be slaughtered by the Han people, in this case, the cavalry will not follow him to risk breaking through, and leave the family in the city to the Han people.

If you don't break through, the lonely city will be difficult to defend, and you will be trapped and killed by the Han people in the city, and Liucheng will be occupied by the Han people sooner or later.

No matter how he chooses, he can't escape the danger facing the tribe.

Not only did he see this kind of crisis, but the tribal elders and others also saw it, and those old guys saw a longer view.

The advantage of the Wuhuan people is cavalry, coming and going like the wind, their whereabouts are uncertain, and being besieged in a lonely city is a dead end.

What embarrassed them was that since the death of Qiu Liju in battle, the morale of the tribe had been low, and now that the city was suddenly besieged, the morale had dropped to the lowest point.

What worries them the most is that the Wuhuan people are not good at defending the city, in the past, they attacked the city of the Han people, this is the first time in history that the Wuhuan people have been besieged, how to defend the city? No one has experience.

The number of Han people in the city is almost the same as the number of Wuhuan people, which is another unstable factor.

And the Wuhuan people in the city are even more panicked, this season is the season of grazing, there is only very little feed and food in the city, if it is besieged for a long time, after the grain is exhausted, you can only slaughter cattle and sheep to satisfy hunger, but before the food is consumed, it is estimated that a large number of cattle and sheep will be starved to death, and this season can not preserve meat such as beef and mutton for a long time.

Besides, if the cattle, sheep, horses, etc. are slaughtered, how will they survive in the future? Winter is coming, and they are also a dead end.

Now the Han people are not in a hurry to attack, and they must be preparing for a protracted war; The war is about consumption, time consumption, material consumption, population consumption, and the energy consumption of the Han people, while the Wuhuan people cannot afford it.

The Wuhuan people in Liucheng did not go out of the city to fight, and Xu Rong was not in a hurry to attack, so he first sent a group of cavalry to sweep the surrounding Wuhuan herds and villages, and all the wealth such as cattle, sheep and horses were confiscated, and all those who dared to resist were killed, and those who did not resist were sent back to the barracks to wait for post-war processing.

Under the cover of cavalry, the infantry dug traps along the roads around Liucheng, and set up roadblocks such as thistles and antlers to prevent the Wuhuan people from breaking through.

More and more Wuhuan people were escorted back, and Xu Rong did not let them eat idle food, but ordered them to besiege the city and dig a wide deep ditch to bring in the river, making Liucheng a dead city.

At this point, the Wuhuan people in the city regretted it, if this is the case, it is better to rush out of the city early, and engage in a field battle with the Han army, how much can kill some Han troops, it is much more glorious than being trapped and killed like this.

It took only six days to complete the layout, and then, Xu Rong sent people to shout at the four gates of the city: "Surrender and don't kill!" ”

"Surrender or kill!"

The loud shouts outside the city were heard very vividly by the people inside the city; This move made the morale of the Wuhuan people in the city even more sluggish.

And let people pull out a banner, and it was written in huge font: Surrender and don't kill, otherwise the city will be slaughtered!

The people in the city were even more panicked, if the city was besieged for a long time, Liucheng would be breached sooner or later, and they believed that the Han army would definitely be able to slaughter the city.

The most fearful person is the king of Badun, who is not only worried about the attack of the Han army outside the city, but also needs to beware of the rebellion of the Wuhuan people in the city.

The elders, on the other hand, were not very worried.

They have dealt with the Han Dynasty for so many years, and they understand the weak nature of the Han court, if they surrender, they will still be the nobles of the tribe, and at most they will be transferred to settle in the territory of Liaodong, and continue to live a free life, but with less military power.

Ordinary Wuhuan people have similar thoughts.

After a few more days, Xu Rong felt that the atmosphere in the city was almost brewing, so he sent a scribe to Liucheng to persuade him to surrender.

The scribe sat in a basket and was carried up to the wall.

King Gaton and the tribal elders were already waiting on the walls.

In the king's house, which was the original county government, the two sides held their first negotiations.

The scribe was very confident, and said strongly: "My Han has been kind to the Wuhuan people for a long time, and you don't think about reciprocating, but often offend the border, endanger the lives of my Han people, and rob our wealth, is it tolerable or unbearable?" ”

King Badun and the elders hurriedly put all the blame on Qiu Liju, anyway, he had died in battle, and he just brought the black cauldron.

The scribe threatened: "Can you hold out until winter?" Even if winter comes, you take advantage of the freezing of the river to escape from our encirclement and lose your wealth such as cattle and sheep, how can you survive yourself? ”

"What do you think?"

The scribe smiled: "Haha, it's not what we want, but how do you choose, whether to accept the unconditional surrender of my big man?" ”

Badun retorted: "Your honor, we ourselves are the people of the Han Dynasty, and we have been scouting the frontier for the Han Dynasty for many years, and we have no merit and hard work, how can we surrender unconditionally?" ”

"Do you still have a choice? However, according to the past practice, you are the people of the Han Dynasty after you surrender, just like the Wuhuan people of Liaodong vassal countries. ”

The elder asked, "Your Excellency, if we surrender, how are you going to settle us?" ”

The scribe smiled and said: "Hehe, count your luck, this time the person in charge of the siege is my Han Imperial Court Zhengbei general, according to the general's previous requirements, with reference to the reorganization model of Wuhuan in Shanggu County, all Wuhuan people are reorganized." ”

Hearing what the scribes said, they had a choice, the prestige of the general of Zhengbei, they had already heard that the title of "iron-blooded military division" was well deserved, not only slaughtering foreign races, but also killing the yellow turban thieves of their own clan; So the elders eagerly asked, "Your envoy, how to reorganize?" ”

"Cavalry and infantry are selected from all the Wuhuan people, and the treatment of officers and soldiers is the same as that of the Han army, and the family members enjoy different treatment according to the different types of troops that the family members participate in, and each cavalryman can be accompanied by three family members, tax exemption, exemption from conscription, etc., ......" The scribe recounted the reorganization of the Wuhuan in Shanggu.

"And how are we settled?"

"If you are willing to join the army, you can continue to lead the army, otherwise, you will be given a certain amount of land and a house, and you can live this life with peace of mind."

"Won't we lose too much?"

The scribe smiled: "The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, this is already a good treatment, otherwise, if we wait for us to attack the city, and after the overcome, the general will definitely slaughter the city, how to choose, which is more important?" It's up to you. ”

They didn't have any doubts about the words of the envoy, the matter of slaughtering the city, the Han army could definitely do it.

Imagine the Xianbei people who fell into the hands of the "Iron and Blood Division", the cruelty of which made those sitting shudder.

As for the treatment of the Wuhuan cavalry servants of Shanggu County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County, they had long understood that if they carried out their methods, their people would live a good life; As for their leaders, all they have lost is power, and it is good to be able to save their lives.
