And the fact is that the Ming soldiers did not have the opportunity to speak at all, from the moment they went down the city wall, the soldiers were still guessing that there would be no return this time, but after going down to the city, the courtesy they received made the Ming soldiers want to enjoy a while more in the rebel camp before going back.

Xu Shouren's letter gave the two towns the hope of retaining their official positions.

Indeed, as long as the official position is still there, whoever is the emperor is their business.

Instead of listening to Gao Fang go all the way to the black, it is better to descend to the Ming Kingdom and get some benefits.

Therefore, they asked the soldiers of the Ming army to go back immediately to report to the chief general of the city, expressing their willingness to accept the persuasion to surrender, but the specific conditions required an interview.

The soldiers of the Ming army had to pack up their mood and go back, but Xu Shouren refused to go out of the city, not because he was afraid, but because the city gate was sealed by earth and stones, and he needed to climb the city wall like a soldier to get out of the city.

Xu Shouren naturally disdained to do this, so he asked the rebels to send people to the city themselves to negotiate.

The soldiers had no choice but to climb the walls again to summon the news.

To his surprise, the two main generals of the rebels did not care at all, and after discussing with each other, they asked one to bring the other person with him, and the Ming soldiers led the way to the city to negotiate.

The negotiations between the two sides were very rapid, and Xu Shouren did not embarrass the two except for insisting on retaining the official position of the temperance envoy.

Because Baili Wuji has even removed the festival envoy of the original Zhou State, how can he make an exception for Dali again?

Xu Shouren in order to prevent the rebels from quickly following outside the south gate, making the situation out of control, so he agreed to the rest of the requests of the two rebels.

And the rebels also hope to reach an agreement quickly so that they can get out of this quagmire. As long as their interests can be preserved, who wants to shop here?

The two sides can be said to hit it off, and the speed with which an agreement was reached was very impressive.

The content of the agreement is: The army of the two towns is an uprising, and the Ming State will retain the army of the two towns, which is still under the command of the two, and the two are willing to take the initiative to resign from the rank of envoy in order to express their sincerity, and take up the post of assassin of the two states, and at the same time lead the troops to the north. Temporarily stationed in Lanxi County to get out of the battlefield.

It only took half an hour for the rebels outside the north gate to walk away.

Xu Shouren breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the forces of the North Gate can be diverted to clear the remnants of the rebels outside the South Gate.

When Xu Shouren led the Ming army and Qingzhuang to the south gate, the rebels outside the city had long since disappeared.

Xu Shouren's heart jumped, could it be that the rebels attacked the east and west city gates in a roundabout way?

Thereupon. Then he hurried to the west gate without stopping. Then the east gate, still no enemy.

Xu Shouren was blindsided all of a sudden, could it be that the enemy was frightened by an explosion at the south gate? Ran away all home?

Flee home ....... In a flash of inspiration, Xu Shouren somewhat understood.

Gao Fang did go home.

After he got the report of the eyeliner, he immediately set off west and returned to Tengchong Mansion day and night.

Among the soldiers of the two towns, he has a lot of eyeliner, and from the moment when the two knots made eyebrows with the Ming army, the eyeliner has been secretly sent back.

Gao Fang knows. It's no longer possible.

At this time, even if he led 5,000 crossbowmen to rush to the north gate, he was no longer able to return to the sky.

The soldiers of the two towns have fallen to the Ming army. Fight in the field with thousands of crossbowmen of your own?

It's just a joke, and you may even be hit by the soldiers of the two towns, and you don't know how to die at that time.

Instead of wasting time here, you might as well go home.

Gao Fang lost his pride in fighting for glory at this moment, and he seemed to feel that he was really old.

There are usually two kinds of homesick men, one is the one who has lost money, and the other is the old man.

Gao Fang naturally belongs to the latter type, he knows that maybe the home of Tengchong Mansion is no longer there, and he may be lucky to go back.

But even so, Gao Fang still wants to go home, even if he dies, he has to die in his own home, at least at his own doorstep.

Because, there is his family, his children.

Thinking of this, Gao Fang once again ordered to speed up the march, perhaps, under the care of the heavens, a miracle occurred, and he could still catch up.

Xu Shouren figured out why the enemy evaporated like water.

He began to clean up the city of Dali.

The south gate, along with most of the city walls, has collapsed, and at least tens of thousands of lives have perished here.

Fragments of corpses mixed with broken bricks and rubble formed a long line of ruins.

This requires a lot of manpower to clean up.

And more than 100,000 people in Dali City have shed too much blood, and they spontaneously came to the south gate and began to clean up.

They want to find their relatives, friends or familiar neighbors from the rubble.

What a tragic scene.

Xu Shouren is such a cold person, and he doesn't feel that his eyes are moist.

He learned from the intact survivor what was going on at the South Gate.

Xu Shouren ordered the survivor to change his confession.

Since then, this timid young man who survived with the corpse as a cover, and the four seriously injured young men have become heroes praised by the people of Dali.

Xu Shouren assured the people at the scene that he would definitely perform the imperial court, ask for merit for the five heroes, erect a monument for the five hundred young people, and give compensation to the relatives of the young people who could be found.

It was a pyrrhic victory, but it was a victory after all.

The people of Dali diluted their sadness because of the victory.

The people are like this, once they accept the reward of the imperial court, they will automatically assign themselves to the side of the Ming State, and from then on, they feel that they are already Ming people, and moreover, they are Ming people who have made great contributions to the Ming State.

Xu Shouren already has the demeanor of a politician in handling this matter. This is Baili Wuji's evaluation of Xu Shouren afterwards.

Three days later, Bailiyi, who went south from Jianchang Mansion, arrived at Dali Mansion with a vanguard of 3,000 new troops and Yang Tingshi's troops.

Originally, Bailiyi was supposed to guard Huichuan Mansion according to the plan, but after Bailiyi met Xu Shiming, he changed his plan, and he sent 500 new troops to escort Xu Shiming all the way back to Jinling Mansion.

After all, he was worried about the safety of Xu Shouren and Bailikang, so he violated the plan made by Baili Wuji and insisted on coming in person.

Baili Yi knew that Baili Wuji had high hopes for Yang Ting's style, so his excuse was very convincing, that is, to lead troops to escort Yang Ting's department.

When Bailiyi saw the tragic scene outside the south gate of Dali, he couldn't help but sigh, how familiar and fresh is this scene?

Since the Ming army mastered firearms, this similar scene has been repeated uninterruptedly, and Bailiyi sometimes doesn't know whether Da Lang made this firearm right or wrong.

But Bailiyi clearly knows that although this scene is tragic, if it is compared to the wars and disasters caused by five generations of countries in the past few decades, it is almost negligible.

Without this firearm, the Ming Kingdom would not be able to unify the world in such a short period of time, and every year that the war dragged on, more people would die, and the people's lives would be more difficult. (To be continued......)
