Chapter 504: Unconditional Surrender
A total of one old and three young, one man and three women came in. Such a messenger's words made Liu Yi's expression a little stunned, and also made Liu Yi's heart feel unhappy.
"Who's coming? When you see my father-in-law, don't you come forward and bow down? Dian Wei's eyes widened, and he shouted as if he wanted to give the visitor a dismount.
The old man who came in first glanced at the military tent, and was not frightened by the evil man Dian Wei, but smiled indifferently before he set his eyes on Liu Yi.
"Although the old man came to surrender, your New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army have not yet made it clear whether they will accept our Xianbei tribe to surrender. So, Your Excellency Taifu, you are not yet the master of the old man. Please allow the old man to have a chance to have an equal dialogue with Taifu. ”
The old man looked at Liu Yidao without being arrogant or humble.
"Humph! You're here to beg now, could it be that we invited you to come? Not all on their knees! Xu Chu also snorted coldly with an angry face.
Liu Yi was not confused by the three extremely beautiful beauties behind the old man, but looked at the old man indifferently, and for a long time, Liu Yi said: "For me Liu Yi, your attitude is not important, it doesn't matter if you come to say anything or not." You have to understand what kind of position we Han people are in with you foreigners. And our New Han Army, having come here, represents the determination of our New Han Army. As for what this determination means, I believe you also understand, right? ”
"Hehe, if you don't understand, the old man won't really come to see Taifu."
The old man arched his hand to Liu Yi before kneeling down and bowing his head.
Meantime. He also glanced back, causing the three girls behind him to kneel down as well.
Lewi was also kneeling down when the three daughters were also on their knees. Only then did he glance at them seriously and found that the expressions of the three women were different. It made Liu Yi a little interested in them.
The one standing at the end, dressed in snow-white clothes, a dress with a unique national style, and a snow-white fluffy feather hat on his head, looked particularly outstanding, like a clear water hibiscus. She should be the most beautiful of the three girls.
Liu Yi found that her pretty face was very elegant. There is also a kind of wildness that is not very willing to be tamed, anyway, Liu Yi saw it, her eyes were full of unyielding, as if she was very helpless.
After the old man, the women knelt down on the left and the right, one wearing a red dress and the other a blue dress.
The one on the left looked a little panicked. However, his eyes seemed to be curious, and he secretly looked at Liu Yi from time to time. The other, Liu Yi looked at his posture. It should be a young woman, and she is the oldest of the three daughters, and I am afraid that she will be about twenty-six or seven. At this time. She was sad and delicate. Chu Chu looked pitiful.
"Taifu, actually. You can ask the old man to let me come in to meet him, which has made the old man happy and made the old man see hope. But no matter whether the old man came to surrender this time, whether he succeeded or not, he didn't think that he would be able to go back alive. Therefore, please allow the old man to introduce himself first. The old man lowered his head, slowly raised it, and said to Levi.
"This is natural, no matter what, please identify yourself, and then talk about something else, but, depending on your bearing, I don't believe that it is an ordinary messenger. Go ahead. Liu Yi waved his hand indifferently.
Anyway, every qiē depends on the surrender conditions proposed by the Xianbei tribe themselves, if it is not in line with Liu Yi's wishes, then what about besieging their Xianbei tribe to death? In general, no matter what, the Xianbei clan must come up with a charter for surrender. That's right, Liu Yi wanted them to take it out themselves to prove their determination to submit to the New Han Dynasty. Especially for their Xianbei tribe, how can they be completely under the control of the New Han Dynasty. Liu Yi won't say this, it's up to them to say it themselves.
"Taifu, the old man is the current king of the Xianbei tribe, King Sangluo." The old man looked at Liu Yi and said.
"Oh?"
Liu Yi was really a little surprised, he didn't think that the king of the Xianbei tribe would come to surrender in person, and without his permission to agree to the peace talks. For this alone, this old man is going to make Liu Yi look at him differently.
"Taifu, not long ago, Kebineng escaped back, so that the old man knew that the Xianbei tribe, this time, will face a huge crisis. Then, I also heard that the tribe led by Lou Ban was also wiped out by your New Han Army. In these few months, in a short period of time, the Wuhuan tribe, which claimed to have millions of people and more than one million military horses, was actually wiped out by the New Han army. These news made the old man see very clearly, your new Han Dynasty, this time, I am afraid that we will be exterminated by the tribes outside the customs and outside the Saiwai. In the past, when you Han people were at their most prosperous, it was impossible for you to go deep into the desert and into the cold region of our north, especially in the cold winter season, it was even more impossible. However, if you of the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army have done it, this shows that the region and climate can no longer affect the expansion of your Han people, and we, the northern tribes, have been completely controlled by your Han people. In such a situation, if we still have any illusions, it is to kill ourselves! ”
"Well, let's get up and talk first. Come, give a seat! Liu Yi nodded, waved his hand to move the pier, and asked the four of them to sit down.
"It depends on the fact that you are still a person who knows things and is a handsome. On behalf of the New Han Dynasty, I, Liu Yi, can talk to you about the surrender. However, if you say to yourself, if there are any conditions, if we can accept it, then it will be easy to do, and if you can't accept it, then I will not embarrass you, let you go back. Liu Yi stared at King Sang Luo meaningfully and said: "I think, you should have a back hand, if you don't let you go back, Kebi can succeed to the throne of King Xianbei, right?" ”
"No, the old man came to see the Taifu with very, very great sincerity. Regardless of whether Taifu accepts the surrender of my tribe, the old man promises that my Xianbei tribe will no longer have the slightest resistance to your Xinhan army, and Ke Bineng will not be the king of Xianbei. ”
"Really?" Leo Yi was really a little surprised, this old guy, what did he want?
King Sanluo smiled bitterly at this time, shook his head and said: "The Xianbei tribe, the total number is only a hundred thousand people, all the men in their teens to fifties, and the military horses gathered are only three or four hundred thousand. It just so happened that the cause of the natural disaster was added, and the earlier instigation was instigated. Most of the tribesmen are concentrated here. This is doomed, the crisis of the demise of the Xianbei tribe. The Wuhuan tribe is all gone. What exception is there for my Xianbei tribe? If you can't see this shape clearly, you're still dying. What's the point? The old man also saw that although it was difficult for your Xinhan army to conquer the settlements and camps of our tribe for a while, we only had a dead end if we were only besieging my Xianbei tribes. ”
"It seems that you have seen it all." Lewy is not without a way.
"Indeed, therefore. The old man didn't dare to talk to Taifu about any conditions now. There is only one sentence, Taifu can accept the surrender of my Xianbei tribe, then my Xianbei tribe will surrender unconditionally, and our Xianbei tribe, from top to bottom, will be disposed of by Taifu! King Sang Luo looked at Liu Yi with a sincere face, as if he had put his fate and the fate of the Xianbei tribe in Liu Yi's hands.
"Ha......" Liu Yi smiled dumbly. His face changed again, and he said coldly: "Okay, you are King Sangluo, you are really a treacherous and slippery, and everything you think about is a good thing." It's all up to me Lewy! ”
Yas. Liu Yi just didn't know what to do with them, the Xianbei people, the more than one million Xianbei people, how to deal with them? and received their surrender. It is equivalent to carrying this big burden on one's body.
If nothing else, judging from the disposition plan that the New Han Dynasty had previously accepted for the submission of those foreign tribes. First of all, they had to think about food and clothing for their tribesmen. They also have to make arrangements for their future life and work, and so on. Those small tribes are better to say, because the tribes have small populations. They won't have any ambitions, and the speed of Sinicization is also fast. It is easy to blend in with the Han Chinese.
However, for the Xianbei people with a population of more than one million, it is really not easy to absorb Sinicization as a whole. If you continue to treat foreigners in the same way as before, then it will be easy for their tribe to develop and grow, and when the time comes, the Han will suffer from it.
Liu Yi looked at King Sang Luo coldly and said, "This is what you call sincerity?" You Xianbei clan, how to put it, can be regarded as a big tribe. What do you want me to do with your Xianbei clan? Do you think that if we accept your surrender, we will be able to obtain the support and development of our new Han Dynasty? Impossible, if King Sanglu really surrenders to my New Han Dynasty, then you have to come up with a solution to your Xianbei tribesmen yourself. ”
"Oh? If Taifu thinks that our sincerity is insufficient, what solution do you want? ”
"Ming people don't say dark words, I, Liu Yi, don't have so much time to play tricks with you. I don't want to see that there will be aliens in the north for a long time. I think you should understand what I mean, King Sanro. You say, I listen, what are your Xianbei tribes going to do after they submit to my New Han Dynasty? If you fool me with such words again, then we don't need to talk about it. Could it be that after surrendering to my New Han Dynasty, I will kill all the men of your tribe, and you will not resist at all? Hehe, let me Liu Yi dispose of it? I am not the original emperor of the Han court, and I will not accept your casual surrender. "Liu Yi asked them to give their own conditions, only if they were willing to do so, they could completely submit to the rule of the New Han Dynasty, and there would be no more troubles in the future. If the New Han Dynasty is persecutive, and their Xianbei tribe makes some restrictions, they will inevitably be unconvinced.
"This ......" King Sangluo's expression changed, and he couldn't help but become a little solemn.
In fact, King Sanroo does have a little bit of luck.
In particular, Tong Guò Kebi was able to escape back and talk to him in detail, so that King Sanluo knew that the Xianbei tribe was about to perish, and if he did not take the initiative to seek to get rid of the current crisis and predicament, the Xianbei tribe was afraid that it would really die out in this vast mountain.
The seemingly simple unconditional surrender was a decision made after he and Kebineng had negotiated it.
First of all, unconditionally surrender to the New Han Dynasty, then the New Han Army will inevitably not attack them again. In this way, their tribesmen were preserved.
Secondly, after the surrender of the New Han Dynasty, no matter what the New Han Dynasty wants to do with their tribesmen, there will always be a bite of food for them, right? In this way, at least they will not starve to death because of the lack of food.
Third, if the New Han Dynasty treats them as usual, such as setting up government offices in their places, teaching them culture, guiding them in work and life, and so on. This is exactly what they can't ask for for in the Xianbei tribe.
Fourth, because there are many people in their tribes, so, no matter what, it will not be easy for the Han people to sinicize them. In these mountains, apart from the Han slaves they captured, will there be Han Chinese living in these places? No, not a single one. In this way, no matter how the New Han Dynasty governed them, they were still Xianbei people. It doesn't change their essence.
Anyway, it seems that there are many benefits to their Xianbei tribe, just the first and second points are enough to make them all willing to lay down their arms and return to the New Han Dynasty.
Their move is to retreat into advance, and it is really a good calculation.
It's a pity that Liu Yi won't eat this set of theirs at all. The New Han Dynasty is not a real philanthropist, these aliens really regard the New Han Dynasty as a wronged leader?
In the past, those aliens were treated like that, because there was such a necessity, and besides, the New Han Dynasty gained more things from the hands of those aliens. For example, without those aliens outside the Saiwai, who could domesticate more war horses for the New Han Dynasty? There are also ploughing cattle and so on.
Now, too, the New Han Dynasty was able to obtain many cattle, sheep and horses domesticated by them with only the grain that could be supplied to the herdsmen.
But those policies are obviously impossible to copy to govern these Xianbei people.
There is no way, King Sanglu knows that it is difficult to fool the past, but if he wants him to say how to deal with his own tribesmen, so that his Xianbei tribe will always be harmless to the Han, this, he really has no good way.
He asked himself, for the survival and continuation of the entire Xianbei tribe, even if Liu Yi killed him now, he didn't care, the eldest was old, and he had lived enough. But how can we satisfy Liu Yi and make Liu Yi agree to the return of his Xianbei tribe to the New Han Dynasty?
If he can't talk this time, he is really a little worried, and Liu Yi will not talk to him again.
"Taifu, otherwise, you can make it clear. Since the old man came to surrender unconditionally to the Taifu, then, no matter what you say, the Taifu, we will obey, but the old man will agree to all the conditions proposed by the Taifu. I just ask Taifu to give my Xianbei tribe a way to live, then all the conditions are not a problem. ”
King Sanluo knelt in front of Liu Yi again, and the whole person climbed down.
"King Sangluo, you really have good intentions for the Xianbei clan." Seeing this, Liu Yi faintly felt a little sincerity of this King Sangluo.
If the Xianbei tribe can resist according to their own will, it will be much easier to settle these Xianbei people. (To be continued......)
