The enemy actually surrendered, and this result made Deng Kui feel both surprised and regretful. Being able to surrender without a fight is of course the highest level of war, but he was fighting hard before, and he wanted to have another time here in Tuwenxiu, but as soon as Tuwenxiu surrendered, Deng Kui suddenly had a sense of loss that he couldn't make out with all his strength.

Of course, Deng Kui's mentality cannot be shown in front of the soldiers. After all, Daming is a state of etiquette, and killing people is a last resort, how can there be any reason to complain that the other party does not let him kill himself. At this time, the Ming army attacking from the east had also caught up, and Deng Kui commanded his subordinates to dismantle the barricades, join forces with the large army, and begin to collect the weapons of the Tuwenxiu soldiers. One by one, the soldiers were tied up, and what awaited them was the fate of being sent to the coal mines to dig for coal.

"Lao Deng, well done!"

When they were busy, Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao came up from behind on horseback. Su Hao called Deng Kui's name with a smile and praised him.

"Chief soldier Xiao, deputy chief soldier Su!" Deng Kui stepped forward, saluted the two of them in a proper manner, and said with a smile: "This is all due to the proper planning of the two chiefs, and the last general just ran away." I didn't expect Bibai to be so unbeaten, and before the last general could make much effort, he collapsed. ”

"What, I heard that Bibai ran away?" Su Hao asked. When Tuwenxiu's troops surrendered, Deng Kui sent a fast horse to report the battle situation to Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao, so Su Hao already knew about Bibai's escape.

Deng Kui nodded and said, "Exactly, although the last general set up a barricade at the mouth of the valley, due to insufficient preparation, the barricade was finally dismantled by the remnants of Bibai, and Bibai escaped because of this. The last general is not doing well, and the deputy general is asked to punish the crime. ”

"You are outnumbered, and it is not easy for you to defeat Bibai. What is the sin? Xiao Ruxun explained for him, Deng Kui is Su Hao's general, and Xiao Ruxun still has to be lenient.

Su Hao said: "Old Deng, there is no need to say anything about the punishment, we didn't expect that the hundreds of people in your area would be able to leave Bi Bai behind." By the way, in your estimation, how many people did Bibai take in the end? ”

"There were less than 1,000 people, and most of them were injured." Deng Kui said.

"Okay." Su Hao turned his head to Xiao Ruxun and said, "This means that Bibai's teeth are basically pulled out by us." He has truly become a lost dog. ”

"Exactly." Xiao Ruxun said, "With only a thousand people, I am afraid there is no hope of dominating the grassland if you want to be the king." Now Bibai has only two choices, either to defect to a large tribe and become a lackey for others, or to be a horse thief in the grassland. ”

Su Hao said: "Let Bi Bai change his career to be a horse thief, I guess he won't be able to do it." I think it's more likely that he's going to run to Litu. ”

"Haha, that's exactly what I want." Xiao Ruxun laughed ambiguously, and Su Hao also laughed. The two of them tacitly kept Deng Kui in the dark.

Tuwenxiu's troops surrendered very completely, because the main general had already given up resisting, and the soldiers below would not have any ideas. Not much. The Ming army had already controlled all the soldiers of the Tuwenxiu Department, and Xiao Ruxun sent a team of cavalry to escort these prisoners back to Ningxiawei, and how to deal with them was left for consideration later.

After taking the captives. It took some more time for the Ming army to gather the bodies of the fallen Bibai officers and soldiers in the valley, extinguish the embers left behind by the explosion, and restore the main road to its original appearance.

The Ming army of the brigade passed through Helan Mountain along the valley. Come to the savannah. Their appearance shocked those small tribes on the grassland, and for many years, the Ming army had never appeared in the western foothills of Helan Mountain with such fanfare.

"Leader Haswula, what is the purpose of the Ming army's march to our grassland?"

"I heard that you have been in contact with the Ming army, what are they going to do to us Tatars?"

"Brother Haswula, our lives are on you, you can't leave us alone......"

The leaders of the tribes gathered around the Has'ullah tribe and gathered around Has'ullah to inquire about the news. They had already heard that the Hasullah tribe had helped in the Ming army's battle to exterminate the Bibai tribe, so no one would know the Ming army's intentions better than Has'ullah. The Has-ula tribe was originally only a small tribe on this steppe and was not very popular, but at this moment, the leaders of the tribes began to find ways to compliment Has-ullah.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, Daming is our friend, as long as we don't make enemies of Daming, Daming will not hurt us." Hasullah sat upright in his master's seat, enjoying the feeling of the stars holding the moon, and said to the leaders lightly.

"However, there were so many of them, and I heard that even Bibai suffered a great loss under their hands, and the whole army was destroyed. If these Ming armies are going to be unfavorable to us, our tribes will join forces, and I'm afraid it won't be enough for them to stuff their teeth. A tribal leader named Muren said worriedly.

"That's right, we have to plan early, if these Ming troops are going to be unfavorable to us, we have to ask the leader of the Li Rabbit or the leader of the Bu Lost Rabbit to help, only they can repel the Ming army and save our fate." The other tribal leaders chimed in.

Haswullah sneered: "Isn't inviting the leader of the Rabbit to come to lure the tiger to drive the wolf?" Even if he can drive the Ming army away, won't we also have to become his slaves? Would you like to? ”

"But...... After all, he is a Tatar, our own. Though...... Alas! Mu Ren did not continue with the rest of his words, he also knew that once a large tribe like the Li Rabbit or the Bu Lost Rabbit came, their own autonomy would be completely lost. The Rabbit will organize these small tribes into his own team, and when there is a war, he will force the small tribes to be cannon fodder, and that fate is also quite terrible.

"Also, do you think that when the leader of the Rabbit comes, he will be able to drive the Ming army away?" Has'ullah threw out another question.

For this question, the leaders had no doubts, and everyone said in unison: "Of course, if the leader of the Rabbit is willing to help, needless to say that the real battle, even if he hears his prestige, the Ming army will have to flee back to Ningxiawei quickly!" ”

Haswula said: "Haven't you really heard that the leader of the Rabbit has suffered a big loss from the Ming army's General Xiao?" ”

"What? Did the leader of the rabbit suffer a loss in the Ming army? Everyone asked in amazement, this gossip was something they had never heard of, and in their minds, the Rabbit was almost a god-like existence.

Haswula then told everyone what he had heard from Chen Guanyu and Deng Kui about the fact that Litu was beaten by Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao under Pingyu City. The leaders were not uninformed, and they vaguely remembered that there had indeed been such a thing a few months ago, as if the Rabbit had taken some people to receive some Huamachi, but they returned in vain. Several tribes who went to war with Litu were wounded, and it is said that many people died. These things are not publicized to the outside world, but combined with what Haswula said, everyone guessed the truth.

"Is the Ming army really so powerful?" Mu Ren asked sneeringly.

"Of course!" "You didn't see Deng Zhongjun attacking the Bibai camp. Good guys, each of the Ming soldiers has several thunderbolts in their hands, as long as they get out of their hands, they will explode like the loudest thunder, which can blow up a horse one or two feet high. You say, "Who can eat such a weapon?" ”

"Brother Has'ullah, you say, what are we going to do?" After hearing this trick from Has'ula, the tribal leaders panicked and began to ask Has'ullah for advice.

Haswullah said: "Deng Zhongjun said that the Ming army does not want to harm us Tatars, but only wants to live in peace with us. As long as we are willing to be friendly with the Ming people, not only will they not disadvantage us, but they will also sell us iron tools and fresh vegetables for the winter, and the price must be the fairest. ”

"Really?" Mu Ren narrowed his eyes and asked, "But how can it be considered friendly?" We haven't attacked Ningxia Town in the past, aren't we all safe and sound? If you want to offend the Ming people, it's also the fault of Bibai, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Haswullah said: "The Ming people want to open mines on our grassland, and they also want to set aside some places to grow crops. They said that the income from the mines, as well as the output of the crops, can be distributed with us, provided that we ensure the safety of the miners and farmers. To be able to do this is to be friendly. ”

"So that's ......" Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.

Speaking of which, the grassland is so big, the Ming people want to divide a mining area, or open up some wasteland, which has no impact on the various tribes, and everyone can completely avoid the river water. But the Ming people went to the grassland to engage in business, after all, it was a kind of invasion of the grassland. The Ming people were worried that the Tatars would threaten their safety, so why didn't the Tatars worry about the Ming people threatening their own safety?

In everyone's opinion, the best choice is for the Ming army to retreat to the border wall of Ningxia, and their tribes can also promise not to invade the border of the Ming people, so that everything can be restored to the situation before Bibai fled. However, now the decision on this matter is not on the side of the Tatars, the Ming army of 20,000 people entered the steppe, and was equipped with extremely terrible firearms, how can these tribes have the capital to bargain with the Ming army.

"Don't be afraid, everybody." Haswula looked at everyone with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and said, "The generals of the Ming army said that they are willing to make a blood alliance with us, guarantee mutual non-aggression, and jointly develop the grassland. What's not to believe? ”

"Today's plan, if you don't believe it, you can only believe it." Mu Ren said with a bitter face, "My tribe is small, and I don't have the strength to fight against the Ming army, so I just surrender to the Ming people, I hope the Haswula brothers didn't betray us." ”

"Brother Muren is right, let's go to the Ming people first, if the Ming people treat us badly, even if we risk our lives, we have to fight with them." Everyone responded in unison. (To be continued......)
