How to negotiate, Wu Yingdian did not give a detailed explanation, but only said that he would start persuading him to surrender tomorrow. If you have any questions, you will ask the Chinese army camp, of course, by the next day, it is estimated that Bai Minghe has already dismantled the camp and started to go west.

At dawn the next day, the white-named crane set off one step ahead of Yu Qian.

It is not a simple matter for a large army to be dispatched. Bai Minghe took away only a part of the troops, the combat power is claimed to be 100,000, but in fact there are only more than 70,000 people, the ordnance is picked by Bai Minghe, take away the part he can use, and then the rest still need to be sorted out and packed, and then Yu Qian's army is estimated to take another whole day before it can set off.

The army is on the road, not like it is on television, and the Lord will ride a horse to the front.

In the White Crane team, the first to ride is the pioneer, and then the vanguard. For a march of more than 100,000 people, this organizational ability alone is far beyond the scope of Bai Minghe's ability, but fortunately, there are a few veteran generals who are responsible for the daily march and other affairs.

The white crane was at the center of the line, flanked by infantry and flanked by cavalry flanks.

And around, there are hundreds of scouts constantly exploring the way.

Fan Liang, who opened the formation in the morning and waited for the enemy to come to the door, was even more bored counting the sand and playing.

When it was almost noon, Fan Liang couldn't sit still: "Come on, bring the things that will be prepared, and go to meet those barbarians for a while!" ”

This is the ancient war, one moment you are still fighting to the death, and it is likely that the next you will sit together and drink. The soldiers fight and eat food, and they fight for the sake of fighting. There are not too many noble sentiments and the like, and besides, the mortal enemies that Fan Liang identified are the Tile Thorn people, not the Tulupan people.

In yesterday's battle, I killed a lot of enemy troops, and at least reduced the opponent's troops by 20,000.

And the Khan of Turpan also died. The most important thing is that the eldest son of the first one was also killed.

Therefore, Fan Liang did not have much hatred for the enemy in front of him. As Yu Qian said, the best generals are not how many battles they won, but how many soldiers they brought back alive. Of course, only those who have won the battle can bring people back alive, and fleeing without a fight is subject to military law.

Three thousand people lined up. The artillery was set up, the musket was raised, and it stopped about two miles in front of the tents in Turpan.

This is not an attack formation, and Fan Liang believes that the other party should be able to see it.

There was not enough wood here, the other side did not even erect the camp fence, just a circle of tents, and there was no fire in the camp until noon, obviously the general of the Ningxia Zhongwei was right, they did not have enough fuel.

"Call someone who can talk. Let's talk. A scribe from Zhongwei, Ningxia, who knew Turpan, shouted.

Soon, the other side was also arrayed, also three thousand people.

Fan Liang walked forward alone, then walked to a position about three hundred meters away from his subordinates and stopped, put the folding chair in his hand on the ground, and sat there with a big grin.

Someone on the other side came out, but not one person, but a dozen people.

One of them, who knew Chinese, said, "Han Chinese." What are you doing? ”

Fan Liang clapped his hands, and more than a hundred soldiers carried tables, chairs, and military tents without a roof. Then there are snacks and tea. Next came a couple of iron cylinders, then a bowl. After arranging, Fan Liang said to the scribe who was trotting over, "You also sit aside and sue them." Ben was going to talk to them. ”

The scribe said a few words in the language of Turpan, and the other party untied his waist knife and stuck it in the sand outside the tent.

"We don't have a leader. The khan is dead, the king is dead, and the other is alive, but he will not survive today. We come from dozens of tribes, large and small, and one of the more than 3,000 people who have sent troops here. Those below three thousand do not count. The highest living status in the king's tent is me, the head of a thousand people. It's a thousand households! ”

I said it in Chinese, and then I spoke it again in my own language to the people around me.

Fan Liangxin said that this time it was really a success, and he wiped out all the upper-level figures of the enemy army at one time, and Zhu Qian was really worth it. are all soldiers, Fan Liang thinks that he may not have this ruthlessness at that time, of course, if he knows that he can exchange one life for so many people, how can it be worth it, but before doing it, who will know.

At this time, what Fan Liang was thinking about was the scenes of himself following Bai Minghe.

"Do you know the silver?" Fan Liang asked a question that made everyone feel strange.

The other person replied, "Yes, silver is a good thing." ”

"What can you do with that hundred taels of silver? What do you guys think? Fan Liang asked two questions in a row, but the other party did not answer immediately, but more than a dozen people discussed in a low voice. The scribe knew Turpan, but he was definitely not very proficient, and he couldn't understand it when he spoke too fast.

Fan Liang signaled that there was no need to listen, there was no need to listen.

After a long while, the other party replied, "Silver is a good thing, but silver is of little use to ordinary people in our place." That thing is not meant to be eaten. ”

Fan Liang laughed a few times: "Come, carry it up." ”

Some soldiers began to move things, and they began to swing them beside the shed.

Fan Liang opened the steel cylinders at this time, poured some things from them and gave each person a bowl: "Come and try it, this is a good thing that can only be found 20,000 miles to the south." This will be the general of the Ming Dynasty, but there are also direct officials, and I am following Lord Bai. This thing is called pineapple in my family. ”

Just hearing 20,000 miles is amazing enough.

The taste of this stuff is even more amazing.

The pineapples soaked in rock sugar are very few in the army, because this thing is still in the stage of trial production.

The thousands of households representing the army in Turpan praised one after another, and although they were suspicious of the idea of going 20,000 miles to the south, they were sure that it was the first time they had seen such a thing.

The soldiers next to them had already set up their things and stepped aside. Fan Liang then said: "See, that pile is grain." A hundred taels of silver is worth so much grain, what a lot. It's just that the shipping cost here is a bit high, so one hundred and thirty stones. And those white linen cloths, a hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for such a large pile. ”

Pile after pile, a specialty of the Ming Dynasty. From porcelain, to silk, to grain, and even salt, tea, etc., are all necessary items on the grassland.

"We don't understand!" After many circles around this pile of things, it was the one who was in the lead who spoke.

At this time, there was a commotion in the Turpan military camp, and countless shouts and curses took a quarter of an hour to calm the military camp. In fact, Fan Liang didn't say anything, but these seemingly ordinary goods of the Ming Dynasty were precious items of their dreams in Turpan.

"My family Lord Bai said two words. The first sentence was to satisfy him, an ordinary soldier here any pile is an annual reward. The second sentence is that if he is not satisfied, then whoever it is, it is better to die. ”

This tone is different from the attitude of the Ming people, domineering, but full of confidence.

"A soldier, a year?" It's not that far away, and the two of them are not talking in a small voice. But the other party asked these questions again and again. Fan Liang nodded: "That's right, a soldier can get any kind of goods equivalent to one hundred taels of silver every year, whether it's tea, salt, rice, cloth, or even women!" ”

"How's it going...... the leader wanted to ask how to satisfy this white lord.

Before he could finish his words, the barracks behind him were once again in chaos, and tens of thousands of people rushed up without even caring about the whips. Fan Liang, on the other hand, sat there motionless and did not move, he was not afraid, because these people did not have weapons. just waved his hand, signaling the Ming army behind him not to move.

Just because you don't move doesn't mean you don't react.

Three thousand people shouted in unison, and the people of Turpan stopped about thirty paces away from the tent, and many more rushed up behind them.

"In fact, we only have five days of dry food and only two days of water!" The one led by Tulupan said: "The original plan was to rest for a day today, and to attack tomorrow at the cost of his life, but the army's morale is already unstable. Too many people died yesterday, and after defeating you, there is still a great wall behind you. ”

Fan Liang nodded very strictly, and the other party had already expressed his sincerity.

"So, can your white lord be the master? Can you represent your emperor? We still have more than 120,000 people here, and according to your Ming calculations every year, this is more than 2 million taels of silver. Besides, how to satisfy you, Lord Bai? When the other party was asking, the ordinary soldiers behind him were really absolutely silent.

"How satisfied to be honest, I don't know." Fan Liang's words almost made the entire Turpan people go berserk.

"However, I can ask Lord Bai. We, Lord Bai, use the thunder and lightning in the sky to transmit sound, and it is only a pillar of incense when it reaches Bayintumen from here. It's not that the thunder in the sky is slow, it's that the people here are too slow. If you want to say whether we can call the shots, long live this point has been authorized! ”

Believe it or not, Turpan finally chose to believe. Because they have no way out.

"I know that the Watts will raid the Ming. But I don't know the route, but I'm willing to bring 30,000 elite soldiers to help you deal with Yexian, who we all thought last night was using us as cannon fodder. Our people are dead, and after he attacks Da Ming, he may attack our home! ”

Fan Liang nodded, quickly wrote a note, and a soldier ran over and rode back.

At this time, the white crane was sitting in the carriage and was drowsy, which made him a little dizzy. And I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to catch up on sleep in the carriage.

"My lord, General Fan Liang called and said that the people of Tulupan were willing to talk, but he was not sure what to do. The other party offered to bring troops to fight the Tile Thorns, but he also asked how to satisfy you. Wang Cheng approached the carriage.

The white crane came to his senses at once, this is not a trivial matter.

Sitting cross-legged in the carriage, he really thought about it for a while, and then said: "No, they are not asking how to satisfy me, but asking what guarantee I can give them." That one man had a hundred taels of silver, which was too vain. They want to hear something real. ”

"How do you answer that?" Wang Cheng asked again. (To be continued......)
