Chapter 286: Don't Accept Surrender?

Dugu Yongye also came to Le'an County with Tang Yong.

When he was on the boat, Dugu Yongye only went down to the bottom of the deck and glanced at Mutipo who was locked up with chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

This guy was burned beyond recognition, and this time he only glanced at it, and it was strange that the shallow hatred for Mutipo in the past had inexplicably dissipated.

Maybe it was Mutipo after the burns, and he looked like a poor man.

"It is reported that His Majesty has arranged for a lieutenant general to be stationed in Le'an County, and the army under his command is about 5,000 people, so it is better for me to meet this lieutenant general."

After getting off the boat, Tang Yong proposed to Dugu Yongye.

Dugu Yongye looked at the big boats on the Yellow River.

These ships were empty, each of which could carry five hundred people, and Dugu Yongye asked Zu Wenyuan for twenty ships in order to act.

But before they act, they have to wait for the matter that has been handed over to Beijing to be approved, and then the Beijing will issue the decree before they can take action.

If Beijing does not approve it, then these 20 ships will run in vain.

The movement on the surface of the river caused a crowd of people on the opposite bank.

Tang Yong only thought that the other side was on guard, and did not think much about it.

The river channel at the mouth of the sea is more than 150 zhang (500 meters) wide, and you can only see small black dots moving across the bank.

Knowing that someone from Luoyang came, Wan Jiyuan thought that he was here to transport Heishui, but when he came to the ferry, he realized that Tang Yong was here for military affairs.

"I've seen General Wan." After Tang Yong said hello to Wan Jiyuan, he roughly informed him of what he was going to do on this trip.

Wan Jiyuan's eyes widened a little wider:

"It's really time for you to come, do you know how many times have the defenders on the other side smuggled in the past few months? Hehe. ”

"It's still the captain of the garrison."

Wan Jiyuan told the story as if he was telling an interesting story:

"Sheng Kai, the leading captain on the other side, has personally smuggled over five times, and every time he was caught by us, he was immediately sent back."

"It's mainly his request, we can't do it for the time being."

"Sheng Kai wanted to lead 9,000 troops to surrender collectively, but we didn't have a boat to cross the treacherous Yellow River estuary, so we refused."

"As a result, this guy didn't give up, and he smuggled over several times, and we were worried that it would lead to adverse consequences, so we were repatriated several times."

Hearing this, Dugu Yongye and Tang Yong both showed surprised expressions, and subconsciously looked at each other:

"How can there be such a thing?"

"Hey, there's a lot of this kind of thing," Wan Jiyuan said with a sigh and a smile:

"The main thing is that the Qi soldiers heard about the fiasco of the Qi State in the First Battle of the Yellow River, and also heard that the vast majority of the 100,000 Qi soldiers were burned to death by the terrifying fire."

"Burned alive...... Who can stand this. ”

"It is also because of the panic of the Qi soldiers everywhere, which leads to the vigilance of the Qi State along the Yellow River, which is almost equal to nothing, ah, except for Huaizhou."

"After all, Huaizhou and Luoyang are separated by the Yellow River, and Huaizhou is the outermost line of defense to defend Yecheng, if Huaizhou is lost, then Yecheng will be dangerous."

"In short, the State of Qi is no longer able to hold the entire Yellow River, even if there are so many troops, they are all government soldiers, and they are of little use."

"Huaizhou is stationed in the forbidden army of Qi State, and other states and counties are government soldiers, although the government soldiers are there, it seems that they are strictly defending, but in fact they are ......"

"The people will cross the river, and they should not see it."

"In this situation, what seems to be a state of confrontation is actually that cross-strait exchanges are more frequent than before, and the exchange of information is faster and more comprehensive than before."

"How about the Qi country, how about the Zhou country, the coastal states and counties on the north bank of the Yellow River all know it in their hearts."

"I guess the defenders of Leling County want to surrender to this matter, and other states and counties also exist."

Tang Yong thought to himself, this is really a good time for people and people, but it is a pity that the land has not been in place before, that is, there is no ship.

Now there are ships, but there is a truce in peace talks.

If Yuwen Shihong doesn't speak, he won't fight against Qi again.

"But that's fine, a soldier who surrenders without a fight! Ha ha! Very good, very good! ”

"It's still a biased estimate, I wanted to try to negotiate to get the people of Leling County to come over, and it is estimated that the people of a county will be ten thousand at most, so I asked for twenty big ships."

"Nine thousand defenders, this will have to be one more trip."

Dugu Yongye muttered to himself, he was already thinking about receiving something, Wan Jiyuan smiled bitterly:

"My lord, I have already informed Jingzhong of this matter, and Jingzhong's reply is 'shelving and repatriation', otherwise I can repatriate people at the rank of captain five times?"

"The first time I smuggled him, I locked him up!"

"If it weren't for the decree of the DPRK and China, I wouldn't have been so merciful, so that he was unharmed, and even fed him a few meals before sending him away."

"Huh? At such a great time, why didn't Your Majesty accept the surrender? Tang Yong immediately couldn't figure it out.

Such a good thing as surrendering without a fight has hardly happened in the past few years.

Now that it has happened, it shows that the strength of the Zhou State has formed a deterrent!

This kind of deterrence comes from both hard power and soft power, and if it has both, it can form a general trend of unifying the Central Plains.

"Although Your Majesty has always acted rudely, she is kind to the common people, and if I had to guess, I think Your Majesty is also worried that the heavy pressure brought about by this crisis will be passed on to the people."

"Think about it, if a city is surrendered, what will the Qi Imperial Court think? Although Leling County is only located at the edge of the sea, once this gap is opened, the consequences are immeasurable. ”

"It's like a granary full of grain and grass, the granary is very strong, but a mouse hole has been gnawed out of the corner of the granary, and this hole will cause the entire granary to lose a lot."

"The court of Qi must be panicked, and the heavy pressure brought by the crisis will be harsh on the people."

"Maybe it also has the meaning of stabilizing the Qi country, but what is the deep meaning, I am a magistrate, and I have no way of knowing for the time being."

Wan Jiyuan unknowingly, he chatted with the two visitors about political affairs that he had never paid much attention to.

Because political affairs are usually contrary to his duties.

Political affairs are long-term, and his responsibilities are immediate-

If you can win the battlefield, you must win the battlefield, and there is no superfluous consideration.

However, political affairs, such as Leling County's intention to collectively surrender this time, considered the long-term, and the decree issued was a "polite refusal".

I can't figure it out, but I can only fulfill the decree.

"If the collective surrender is refused, then ...... What we submitted...... Tang Yong looked at Lonely Yongye with some confidence:

"I'm afraid I'll be rejected too."

Dugu Yongye did not respond on the spot, only said lightly:

"Then let's wait, wait until the Jingzhong decree comes down."

"If Jingzhong really vetoes it, then think of other ways."

"Your Majesty attaches so much importance to my brother-in-law Yang Shuang, maybe there is room for consent."
