The Han army's defense line, up to five zhang high on the lookout.

Ye Yunyang had a smug smile on his face, overlooking the royal court in front of him.

Yin Falcon, Liu Yuying, and Dongfang Yixue were also there, they clearly saw that the palace was surrounded by a group of people, and Meng Tu walked out with an anxious face, struggling to explain something to the soldiers.

"Haha, the current Meng Tu deeply understands the meaning of the word "indisputable". Ye Yunyang said with a smile.

Yin Falcon nodded: "That's right, his biggest mistake was to pull the grain into the palace, and it took more than half an hour to send people to the various armies. ”

Dongfang Yixue said: "The most exciting thing is the scene of 'inspection' at the gate of the city, the Xiban soldiers all believe that what is sent is grain, and when they are ready to put it into the pot, they find that it has turned into sand, of course, this account must be counted on Meng Tu's head." ”

Liu Yuying didn't speak, but he admired Ye Yunyang's strategy.

Yin Falcon continued: "If I were Meng Tu, I would put the grain in the square in front of the palace, instead of stupidly pulling it into the palace, so that it would not be his responsibility to find sand in the grain." I don't understand, although he is stupid, he is not stupid, why would he put food in the palace?"

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "Because I was afraid of being robbed, every time I sent food over before, it would cause a robbery, the reason why the scale was not large was because it was only five hundred stones of grain each time, but this time there were six thousand stones, Meng Tu had to guard against it, and it was necessary to ensure that there would be no large-scale fights." Therefore, he will be very uneasy to put the grain in the square, so he will let people transport it into the mansion and send the guards to take strict care of it. ”

Liu Yuying opened his mouth and said: "Meng Tu was counted to death by you, and he was not wronged at all. ”

The three of them looked at Ye Yunyang at the same time.

He was stunned: "What do you want to ask?"

Yin Falcon said a little impatiently: "Of course what to do next, it is obvious that there is chaos in the royal court, it is difficult for Meng Tu to convince the public, let alone control the morale of the army, shouldn't we take the opportunity to do something?"

Ye Yunyang shrugged: "It's already messy enough over there, are you embarrassed to add fuel to the fire again?" Uncle Yin, you have to be kind, aren't you?"

Yin Falcon's eyes widened: "You talk to me about kindness? Meng Tu ended up like this, whose handiwork did it? From Cao Ziang to the present, have you added fuel to the fire less?"

"Ga!" Ye Yunyang was speechless and snorted: "This commander feels that there is no need to make any more trouble for Meng Tu, let the officers and soldiers of the three armies continue to defend the defense line and wait for the opportunity." ”

With that, he walked briskly down the lookout.

Yin Falcon shook his head helplessly, he thought this was a great opportunity, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.

Liu Yuying smiled and nodded, and Dongfang Yixue asked, "Yingying, did you think of something?"

"yes, but I'm not sure, so I'd better not tell you yet, lest you laugh at me wrong. Liu Yuying also walked down.

In front of the palace of the royal court, Meng Tu raised his right fist and swore: "Soldiers, this is a conspiracy of the enemy, they deliberately sent grain mixed with sand, in order to make us infighting! ”

The soldiers did not believe it, and some people asked: "Then why is it that only sand is found in our grain, but not in the grain left by the palace?"

Meng Tudu was about to cry, who knows what was going on, not all the grain was mixed with sand, and the grain cart that happened to be not mixed with sand was left by the palace, purely by coincidence.

When he saw that he could not convince the people by swearing, he said, "If you don't believe you, you can search the palace now, and if you find hidden food, the king will cut off your head in public and kick you as a ball!"

Such a heavy gambling curse still failed to make everyone believe it, and some people said: "If you dare to let us search, it means that you must have hidden the grain in a place where everyone can't find it." ”

"Yes, there is a secret room in the palace, how can we find it?"

“......”

Meng Tu had the heart to die, and he almost didn't say that if he didn't believe it, you would tear down the palace, because he knew that no matter what he said, the soldiers would not believe it.

At this point, he could only return to the palace angrily and let his generals continue to deal with the matter.

Back in the study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the soldiers already had a different heart, and they wouldn't open the city gate again tonight to escape, right?

He hurriedly called his generals and asked them to report the situation of the soldiers in time, so that they could respond in advance.

The situation was beyond his expectations, and the soldiers had a great opinion, sifting out the sand from the rice, and swearing and scolding, and saying all kinds of ugly things.

In particular, everyone regarded Meng Zhun as a savior and completely ignored him, the king of the Western Barbarians.

The situation had reached such a point that it was beyond his control, and the generals came in one after another to report that there were people clamoring to surrender to the coalition forces.

Repression?

Don't be kidding, more than half of the people have such thoughts, how to suppress it, I can't tell who will suppress whom when the time comes.

Meng Tu lowered his head and thought for a long time, and concluded that the general trend had gone, even if there was still a group of soldiers loyal to him, it was difficult to achieve great things.

Instead of continuing to consume and waiting for his subordinates to flee to Meng Zhun's command one by one, it is better to take the initiative to lead the crowd to surrender, it is difficult to say whether he can keep the glory and wealth, at least it should not be difficult to save his life.

He immediately summoned his generals, and after receiving everyone's unanimous approval, he led the crowd to the north city gate, which was facing the Chinese army tent of the Han Barbarian Alliance.

Ye Yunyang was finishing eating, Yin Falcon rushed in and said, "Good news, Mengtu, the king of the Western Barbarians, expressed his willingness to lead the people to surrender, please go to the North City Gate to talk about it, probably because he wants to negotiate conditions with you." ”

Ye Yunyang didn't have any change in his expression, because he expected Meng Tu to do this, since it was something that was inevitable, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Putting down the chopsticks, he said unhurriedly: "You can go on my behalf, no matter what conditions Meng Tu proposes, I will not agree." ”

"What?" Yin Falcon said he didn't understand, since it was a negotiation, it should be asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot, and he didn't agree to any conditions, so why should people surrender?

He picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and said, "Xiban is at the end of his rope, and the matter of mixing sand in grain has made Meng Tu have no prestige, and no soldiers will listen to him, so he has no capital to negotiate." Tell him that as long as he surrenders obediently, I will ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to make him a marquis, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and do not agree to any other conditions. ”

Yin Falcon was a little uncertain in his heart, but he still nodded and said, "I'll try it, if there is any emergency, let someone notify you." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Tu looked at Yin Falcon with a pale face, gritted his teeth and said: "Vice Marshal Yin, no matter how bad this king is, he is also the Western Barbarian King of the Han Emperor, although he is defeated, he will not be given a marquis, right?"

Yin Falcon said expressionlessly: "If I don't kill you, it's already an extrajudicial grace, do you still have the dream of continuing to be the king?" Boss Ye said, to ensure the glory and wealth of the rest of your life, if you are willing, open the city gate and surrender, if you are unwilling, we will continue to consume, until the moment when our army captures the city, then you will die without a place to bury. ”

In fact, when he said this, he was very unconfident, and he had a tentative idea, for fear that Meng Tu would refuse.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tu smiled bitterly and said: "You are really ruthless, you know that this king has no way back, so you offer such harsh conditions! Okay, who let you grasp the initiative, this king accepts his fate, I hope that Vice Marshal Yin will not break his word, and we must ensure our safety." ”

Yin Falcon was excited, it seemed that the other party would accept it, and he tried his best to make his expression natural: "That's certain, we Han people have a promise." ”

Meng Tu nodded: "Okay, this king will order Kaecheng to surrender." ”

Squeak......

The city gates were opened on the left and right, and the Western barbarian soldiers, led by the generals, went out of the city one after another, and according to the requirements, they handed over their weapons for centralized storage.

Whoever lays down his arms will immediately receive a large bowl of stewed beef and mutton, rice and bread.

Ye Yunyang did not come forward, he asked Meng Zhun to be responsible for receiving the surrendered troops, and the generals above the rank of captain were taken away by the Han army to prevent them from plotting a rebellion with their old subordinates.

Since then, the Nanban War has come to an end.

In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, most of which were killed with Cao Ziang, who used his body as bait, and in several battles launched by Ye Yunyang, the casualties of the Han army were very few.

He did it, conquering the Nanban with only 300,000 men.

Those who questioned him at the beginning, when they heard the news, didn't know if they would be red-faced.

The Eastern Barbarian army was not so lucky, with a total of more than 200,000 casualties, but Meng Zhun was not distressed at all, because up to now, he had received nearly one million just by surrendering troops, which could not only offset the battle losses, but also made a lot of money, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.

Meng Tu became a prisoner of the Han army, Ye Yunyang arranged for him to live in a small tent, strictly guarded, and Meng Tu was not allowed to step out of the tent without his order.

Then, he asked Zheng Zhiyuan to fly the flying wing back to the imperial capital to report the news of the victory, and inform the emperor Liu Qi of the news of the victory.

In the big tent, Dongfang Yixue made tea with her own hands, and Yin Ying and Liu Yuying sat opposite Ye Yunyang.

Yin Falcon was extremely excited, he didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, according to his original idea, if he wanted to swallow the more than one million troops of the Western Barbarians and the Southern Barbarians, he would have to take a year and a half, or even longer.

But now, it has only been a few months from the dispatch of troops to the great victory, except for the two vicious battles of attacking the royal court and blocking the Western Barbarians, most of the other times are bloodless.

Moreover, the two fierce battles had nothing to do with the Han army.

"It seems that we will be able to return the class soon. He said happily.

Ye Yunyang looked at him with very meaningful eyes and said, "Uncle Yin, you don't think the battle is over, do you?"

Yin Falcon was stunned: "Didn't you finish the fight, our opponents have all surrendered, who else are you going to fight?"

"What is the purpose of our battle?" He didn't wait for Yin Falcon to answer, and gave a direct answer: "Of course, it is to subdue the Southern Barbarians and incorporate them into the territory of my Great Han, and if we withdraw now, wouldn't it be to help Meng Zhun unify the three barbarians, and what good will it do us." ”

"You mean, we're going to turn our faces with Meng Zhun next, and then have a big fight?" Yin Falcon frowned: "No, if that's the case, will you hand over all the troops to him?" You better say the answer directly, uncle is stupid and doesn't want to continue guessing. ”

He said with a straight face: "Many things don't have to be solved by fighting, after this period of contact, I have a deep understanding of Meng Zhun as a person, and he has also learned my strength, so I decided to use a three-inch tongue to persuade him to lead the army into the Han Dynasty, and he should not refuse." ”

Liu Yuying raised his eyebrows, and stopped talking.

Yin Falcon said with some suspicion: "The right that he finally got it, is he willing to give it away?"

He could choose to refuse, but he would have to pay a price for it, which was even more painful than Mengtu and Menghuo. Ye Yunyang said word by word.
