Chapter 109: Guibei City Surrenders Without a Fight
Since the Nancheng Lord was captured, he also wanted to escape, but seeing that the Qin army's attitude towards the surrendered barbarians was not bad, his thinking had also changed, and the loss of Guinan City strengthened his belief in surrender. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Pulling his brother into the water can be regarded as letting this wild land use less sword soldiers, this time to persuade the northern city lord, Lu Yan also deliberately asked the southern city lord to wear the Qin State costume.
In Guibei City, the North City Lord and the Little Chief were also worried about the South City Lord, and they had planned well, but they didn't expect the South City Lord to be captured, and the South City was also lost.
In just half a day, the southern city lord came to Guibei City from the ancient city, and when the northern city lord heard that the southern city lord was coming, his heart was also a little settled, at least the smartest among the three people was the southern city lord.
Outside Guibei City, the North City Lord personally went out of the city to greet the South City Lord, but after seeing the South City Lord's outfit, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and finally invited him in.
In the Beicheng Hall, the three brothers did a good job according to their primary and secondary positions, "Second brother, what are you going to do here?" How do you dress like this? The Northern City Lord was the first to speak.
The lord of the southern city waved his hand, "Now that the ancient city and the southern city are occupied by the Qin army, I came this time, presumably the eldest brother also guessed a few points." There was a lot of helplessness between the words.
"Could it be that you're here to persuade you to surrender?" The North City Lord said with a slight frown.
"Second brother, forget if the ancient city is not recaptured, why do you still come to persuade you to surrender today, what benefits did you say the Qin army gave you." The little chief reacted even more fiercely.
The lord of Nancheng poured himself a glass of sake, and kept thinking about it, "Big brother, third brother, listen to me, now among the three cities, two cities are lost, Dongou and Nanyue are far away from here, and they will definitely not come to support, as for Xiangcheng, there are three water gorges in the middle, and they are also helpless." ”
"I know that Beicheng is isolated at the moment, but I really can't accept such a surrender." The North City Lord said a little temperamentally.
"This time the Qin army came, not only to occupy our three cities, but also to march north to Xiangcheng, south to Dongou and South Vietnam, we are here is only their first step, if you don't surrender, only swords and soldiers face each other, when the whole city is a dead soul, how can you be worthy of the people in this city."
After speaking, the southern city lord also sighed slightly, and the little chief was about to say something when he was interrupted by the northern city lord, "Second brother, how are you in the southern city now?" ”
"Nancheng is now governed by the Qin army, everything is fine, so surrender is not necessarily a bad thing, General Lu who came to conquer this time is not Tu Ju in previous years, he loves the people very much, when the time comes, these three cities are just a formality, or we govern them, in this way, why not surrender." The Lord of the South City said step by step.
The North City Lord next to him was uneasy, but his face seemed to agree with the South City Lord's thoughts, now that the South City and the ancient city have all been occupied, if they don't vote, tens of thousands of troops will also be a problem.
"It's okay to surrender, I want to negotiate with General Nalu in person to explain that the situation is okay." The words of the northern city lord eased slightly, and the southern city lord was also slightly relieved when he saw this.
Only the little chief on the side was silent, his face was very embarrassed, "Third brother, why are you doing this?" Don't you want to surrender? The South City Lord looked at the little chief on the side and said.
The little chief glanced at the southern city lord, "I just don't want to surrender What's wrong, we have elite soldiers, why do you want to surrender them, second brother, tell me." ”
"I won't say anything, just because you have more elite soldiers, it's useless, you won't use it after all." The Southern City Lord pointed to his head and said.
The little chief who said it lowered his head a little ashamedly, it doesn't matter if the third brother doesn't agree, after all, the eldest brother agrees, and it's not the turn of the chief of the ancient city to call the shots for such a big thing.
"In that case, why don't you go to the ancient city with me and discuss things with General Lu." The southern city lord immediately said, and the northern city lord hurriedly waved his hand.
"This is unacceptable, what if I am imprisoned, in this case, there will be no benefit, and the city will be lost." The North City Lord said with some trepidation.
The southern city lord immediately poured warm tea for the northern city lord, "Big brother, I was captured like this, and the general was willing to let it back, not to mention that the eldest brother went to surrender in person, so sincere, what reason did he have to capture the eldest brother." ”
After hearing this, the lord of the northern city also felt that it made sense, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and decided to go to the ancient city in person to show his sincerity, so as not to act rashly.
Although the little chief looked reluctant, in front of his eldest brother and second brother, he had no part to speak, so he had to ride a horse and follow in shame.
Lu Yan was also waiting for news in the ancient city, and when he heard that the Northern City Lord was coming, he was even more excited, and hurriedly ordered him to go down and prepare tea and food, this time the Southern City Lord did not disappoint him.
Zhao Tuo and the others couldn't help but feel surprised when they heard that Beicheng was coming, and they admired Lu Yan even more in their hearts, but they didn't expect this fight to be successful.
Outside the ancient city, Lu Yan personally went out of the city to greet him, and when the lord of the northern city saw Lu Yan's sincerity, most of the doubts in his heart were dispelled, but he respected Lu Yan even more.
After the two teams finished saluting, they all sat down in the city, "The Northern City Lord is so decisive this time, we also admire it, I, Daqin, will definitely not treat you badly." Lu Yan said very loudly.
"I just don't know how the general arranges these three cities?" The lord of the northern city still said it very sharply, on the surface he was asking how to arrange the city, but in fact he was asking how to arrange them.
Lu Yan raised his wine glass slightly and toasted the Northern City Lord with a glass of sake, "How is the wine and food of this Qin Kingdom?" Lu Yan asked meaningfully.
"It's much better than in the city." The North City Lord said a little dazedly.
"I plan to leave two thousand soldiers in each city, as well as many lieutenants, to live with the local people, and we naturally respect your customs, of course, these people are only for your service." Lu Yan said very politely.
The Northern City Lord glanced at the Southern City Lord with some suspicion, "You don't have to be so uncertain, my Great Qin has already sent hundreds of thousands of troops, which is bound to wipe out Dongou Nanyue and Xiangcheng in one fell swoop, you are just a stronghold here, if you don't mind, all the Qin troops can live in this city." There was some ruthlessness in his tone.
Such a combination of soft and hard measures made the North City Lord compromise a little, "Since this is the case, do what the general said, but the hundreds of thousands of troops that the general said are true?" ”
"That's naturally true, besides, the Qin State is located in the Central Plains, and there are a lot of clothes and cloths, which must be much more convenient than your tiger skin beast clothes, and they can blend together, why not?" Lu Yan still said slowly.
"What the general said is that we are willing to surrender to the Qin State and serve the dogs and horses." The three city lords also immediately knelt down and bowed.
