Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Surrender of the Clan
Li Xian's cruel means killed the beggar Zhongxiang, which made those soldiers of the Tatar tribe who had lost their will to fight even more frightened, coupled with Li Duozuo, who was also from the Tatar tribe, took the opportunity to surrender, these Tatar warriors naturally surrendered, of course, there were a few diehards among them, resolutely refusing to surrender, but they were even more desperate, ready to pull a few pads on their backs when they were dying, but they were killed by Li Xian, Xue Ne, Li Duozuo and others nearby.
By the time the last resisting warrior was killed and the camp was calm again, the sky was already bright, and a touch of the morning sun sprinkled on this land full of killing and blood, and there was a little warmth on the people.
Fortunately, although Li Xian treated the beggar Zhongxiang cruelly, he was still quite gentle to those ordinary warriors, and announced on the spot that this time he would only punish the evil, and threatened never to ask, and announced that Li Duozuo, a member of the Ya tribe, would continue to lead the Ya tribesmen, so that they would still live in their hometown, and if they did not want to continue to survive in the bitter cold land, they could apply to Li Duozuo and move to Yingzhou to live in peace.
Li Xian's approach was obviously supported by the Su people, when even if some of the troops offered to go to Yingzhou, after all, this is a battlefield here, Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty are fighting, they will inevitably suffer from the flames of war if they continue to bring it here, and although Yingzhou is also in the front, but because the Tang army has advanced the front to the east for hundreds of miles, it is relatively safe.
Li Duozuo saw that Li Xian agreed, so he naturally would not refuse, and even if he arranged the relevant relocation matters, he did not set off immediately, because whether it was for Li Xian or him, the newly appointed patriarch, there was something more important to do, that is, to take the opportunity to subdue the entire Su Mo in one fell swoop.
And the key to it is the thousand crossbowmen commanded by the beggar Meng Liang, the brother of the beggar Zhongxiang!
Although the team under the command of Li Xian has now greatly exceeded the 1,000 people in number, most of them are after all the soldiers of the Su Dynasty, and the soldiers who drove them to attack their own clan, even if they were all trustworthy in terms of character, could not do so morally.
Therefore, if you want to solve these thousand people, you still need to rely on the three hundred people in Li Xian's headquarters and those soldiers under Li Duozuo's command who are only responsible for recruiting and fighting irresponsibly.
In this way, the situation between the two sides is already outnumbered, and the army under Li Xian's command is all fighting on foot, and the armor is also the cloth armor and soft armor of the end of Su, how easy is it to get close to the 1,000 crossbowmen?
What's more, it's daytime, even if they are all wearing the clothes of the end of the Su, the enemy can see from a distance that their own people are not their own, plus the fierce battle here in the middle of the night, although most of the soldiers at the end of the Su have been killed or surrendered, but there must be people who run to the beggar Meng Liang to report the news, so no matter what they are wearing, presumably the beggar Meng Liang will also desperately block it.
After some deliberation, Li Xian, Li Duozuo, and Xue Ne decided to immediately cut down trees and make a large shield, and wait until the large shield was finished before launching an attack in order to minimize casualties.
But when Li Xian's army arrived, he found that the expected security did not exist, and Li Xian looked up and saw birds and birds flying over the camp, so he was sure that there was no one in the camp.
"Damn, it wasted so much time waiting for me, and let the beggar Meng Liang prepare for so long, so it seems that things are difficult to handle." Li Xian couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw this, and said to Li Duozuo on the side.
But seeing Li Duozuo smiled and said: "The king doesn't have to worry much, the beggar Meng Liang doesn't have much prestige in the clan, but is greedy for money and profit, cruel and easy to kill, the last general believes that as long as we postpone the attack, this guy will definitely be killed by the clansmen, and then our army will not fight for the entire Su end without blood, isn't it happy?" ”
Li Xianyan immediately clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this: "Duozuo's plan is wonderful, in this way, we will lead the army to camp twenty miles outside the end of the Su Dynasty, and I believe that in a few days, the people of the Su Mo Department will come to defect." ”
However, it was said that after the Wuyan Chamu fled, he immediately came to the camp of the beggar Meng Liang and hurriedly reported the attack on the beggar Zhongxiang to him.
The beggar Meng Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately put on his armor and prepared to go to rescue his brother, but was stopped by Wuyan Chamu.
"Wuyan Chamu, what do you mean?" Seeing this, the beggar Meng Liang couldn't help but be puzzled, and hurriedly asked.
"General Qiyu, the reason why the last general escaped is the opportunity that the patriarch exchanged for his life, it is not a pity for the last general to die, but he can't watch the general go to death again, when the last general comes, the patriarch has been surrounded by dozens of Tang thieves, even if the general rushes away, the patriarch must have died in Huangquan, there is no life, it is useless to go, not to mention that the general still has bigger things to do, why bother to die in vain?"
"What do you mean? The second brother was already ...... at this time, "The beggar Meng Liang couldn't go on anymore when he said this, and after a while, he suddenly said: "You said that I still have a big deal to do, what is the big thing?" Is it more important than avenging your brother? ”
Seeing the other party say this, Wu Yancha's eyes inadvertently flashed with a trace of essence, and solemnly said to the beggar Meng Liang: "Although the patriarch is gone, but my Su is still there, the general is the patriarch's brother, this patriarch is naturally well-deserved, if it is won by others, I am afraid that the patriarch's spirit in the sky will not be able to rest in peace." ”
But seeing that the beggar Meng Liang was silent for a moment, he suddenly sighed slowly: "Although Er's words are reasonable, I know that my talent and virtue are not enough to convince the public, and this patriarch may not be able to do it." ”
Although he said this, it was difficult to hide the excited look in the eyes of the beggar Meng Liang, how could he hide the black face who has always been good at observing words and feelings?
So Wu Yan Chamu smiled and said: "I have always only valued warriors and light talents, and with the bravery of generals, it is definitely more than enough to be a patriarch, and the so-called talents and virtues are things made up by the Tang people, what is the difference between them and us?" If the general does not become the patriarch, not only will the patriarch be difficult to look at, but the general will also be subservient to others in the future, and my aunt will probably also have to send people to live that unspeakably miserable life, and may even be forced by others to become the concubine of others. ”
Wuyan Chamu naturally knew what kind of virtue this beggar Meng Liang was, and also knew that this person had coveted his aunt for a long time, and now he used these words to provoke each other, peeking at each other, and seeing that the beggar Meng Liang couldn't bear it, he took the case and shouted: "How can a big husband act under others?" If my brother is the same, how can anyone else be qualified to be the patriarch? In this case, I immediately returned to the tribe, and the successor to the position of the patriarch, Wuyan Chamu, Er is a brother's cronies, and it is for Er's aunt, this time I can be loyal to me, and after I take over, I will be a commander of a thousand people. ”
Wuyan Chamu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly called him the patriarch, thanked the beggar Meng Liang, and immediately came up with a plan to let the beggar Meng Liang only quietly withdraw the soldiers and horses, but did not pull out the camp, which had confused the Tang army, and the beggar Meng Liang realized that he had a clever plan, and hurriedly agreed, so he immediately pulled out the camp and returned to the tribe.
After returning to the tribe, the beggar Meng Liang immediately announced the news that his brother beggar Zhongxiang was killed in battle, and forged his will to inherit the position of the patriarch, which was indeed opposed by several of the big families.
In the first few days after beggar Meng Liang became the patriarch, he could still be a little more reserved, after all, he knew that he was facing the pressure of the Tang army and was actively preparing for war, but later found that the Tang army did not attack, but instead stationed the army twenty miles away from his tribe and camped, and according to the stall report, he retreated several miles every day, obviously seeing that he was prepared and left.
Beggar Meng Liang was overjoyed when he heard the report, and as soon as his worries were gone, he reverted to his old ways, trying his best to occupy other people's wives and daughters, cattle and sheep everywhere, making the people's resentment boiling, just at this time, his sister-in-law, that is, Wuyan Chamu's aunt suddenly disappeared, and the beggar Meng Liang panicked in his heart, thinking that someone deliberately took him away, so he used this as a reason to search the major families, and took the opportunity to rob the property, and finally committed public anger, so several major families united to prepare to kill the beggar Meng Liang and choose another patriarch.
And at this moment, the captain of the beggar Meng Liang's own soldiers, Wuyan Chamu, suddenly came to visit and told them that his aunt had fled quietly because she was bullied by the beggar Meng Liang, and left him an order before leaving, so that he united the parents of all ethnic groups to beg Meng Liang, so that night, under the cooperation of the parents of all ethnic groups and Wuyan Chamu, the beggar Meng Liang lost his head in a daze, and after that, Wuyan Chamu ordered his soldiers to kill all the parents on the grounds of the rebellion of the parents of all ethnic groups, and then announced that he would be the patriarch on his behalf. After the aunt gave birth to a baby boy, he handed over the position of patriarch to his cousin. Although he is not a member of his own clan, because of the military power, his aunt is the wife and nephew of the former patriarch, and he also promised to return the power to the son of the former patriarch in the future, so no one objected.
However, at this moment, Li Xian led the Tang army to arrive suddenly, Wuyan Chamu suddenly panicked, in order to avoid the family members of the clan who had surrendered to the Tang army, he ordered to kill all the families of the surrendered soldiers, but unexpectedly finally aroused the anger of the clansmen, and finally even his guards rebelled, and after killing him, he chose to surrender to the Tang army.
Li Xian saw that everything was as Li Duozuo expected, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately led the army into the end of the Su, received the descendants, and ordered to search for the whereabouts of the Wuyan clan, but found that this person had never been traced, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, no matter what, this Wuyan clan had to be found, because what she was carrying in her womb was not an ordinary person, and later the famous Da Zuorong in history, this person was not eliminated one day, and the threat to the entire Su end existed one day.
Therefore, Li Xian immediately ordered Li Duozuo to secretly search for the whereabouts of the Wuyan clan, and find her at all costs.
