Chapter 441: Kindness at home

The day after Song Shilun entered Xiangping City, Wang Bo had already asked Meng Song and them to gather their troops. In the Tang army camp, the neatly dressed Tang soldiers were waiting for orders in the camp, and Wang Bo took the Tang army generals to wait for the news of Song Shilun in Xiangping City.

Wang Bo sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, holding a book, reading it with relish. Meng Song squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, Shao Hongxuan was the most breathless, and he would go to the door of the big tent from time to time to look out.

Looking at the soldiers sitting on the ground outside, Shao Hongxuan was anxious, and secretly thought: Why hasn't this Song Sima come back, it can't be an accident.

Shao Hongxuan saw that he was standing stupidly at the door of the big tent of the Chinese army, and he seemed to be too stupid, so he returned to his seat in the tent. As soon as he sat down, he heard hurried footsteps outside the tent.

"Report! ——」

A scout broke into the tent of the Chinese army, and all the generals of the Tang army looked at him.

The scout hurriedly said, "Qi Yu Dai Wang, the four gates of Xiangping City have been opened, and all the flags of Youguo on the head of the city have been replaced with white flags!"

Wang Bo put the scroll on the table very calmly and said, "Go and inquire again until you see Song Sima."

"Whoa!"

The scout took the order and left.

Wang Bo looked at the generals in the tent and said loudly, "Everyone, let's go and surrender together."

"Whoa!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and all the five armies of the Tang State were dispatched, fully loaded, with the same armor and ordnance, lined up in a neat phalanx, and left the barracks in turn.

Although Xiangping City has been opened, the Tang army has not yet entered the city, although the head of Xiangping City has been replaced with a white flag, but what are the details in the city, Wang Bo is not sure, he does not want to capsize in the gutter, take this risk.

Wang Bo has already sent people into the city, asking the emperor of Youguo to take everyone in the city to surrender, and then the royal family of Youguo will be sent to Guanzhong as a trophy, and the people of Youguo in Xiangping City will not move and will still live here.

"Da! Da! Boom!"

A sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a pair of Tang army scouts came to Wang Bo, and the scout Shi Chang led by him turned over and dismounted, and reported in a marching salute: "His Royal Highness the King of Qiqi, the Emperor of Youguo has led everyone in the city to surrender, and he is about to arrive."

Wang Bo nodded, and Meng Song gave an order at this time: "Let the military band prepare!"

Outside the city of Xiangping, there was a sound of bells and drums, and the troops of the Tang State were neatly arranged here, and their main general, Wang Bo, rode a war horse majestically.

Duan Yu, who was standing in the pile of soldiers and watching the excitement, kept standing on tiptoe, and he finally saw that in the open Xiangping West Gate, the Emperor of Youguo, King Yan Chipan, was bound with flesh and face, leading the sheep on the left and Maotai on the right, kneeling forward in the snow a foot deep, kneeling all the way to the outside of the city gate and surrendering to the Tang army.

In the ceremony of the surrender of the Emperor of Youguo to the Tang army, Yan Chipan was a sad loser, he imitated the etiquette of the ancient Wei Ziqi surrender to King Wu of Zhou, the meat was self-bound, led the sheep and the grass, and walked on his knees to the three heads of Wang Bo's war horse, extremely humble, and regarded himself as the concubine of the Tang State.

"The secluded country is to the Tang Dynasty, such as a marquis, and has always asked for it...... Although the ministers are not virtuous, His Majesty the Tang Emperor is angry and angry, and the crimes of the ministers are also ......."

"But if His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can patronize the former good, not to ignore the society of the country, to emulate the old things of the Yongguo, so that the ministers can get a county of land to serve the blood of their ancestors, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will also be beneficial, and the wishes of the ministers will not dare to hope, dare to spread their hearts, and hope that His Royal Highness the King can sue His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty......

In Yan Chipan's heart, perhaps he hoped that this non-resisting submission attitude could be exchanged for the forgiveness of the Tang Emperor Wang Rong, and like Shi Weiziqi, the king of Zhou Wu, and the king of Chuzhuang, Shi Zheng Xianggong, they would retain the blood food society of Youguo.

However, as the victor, Wang Bo was expressionless, and after Yan Chipan finished saying his wish, he dismounted and helped him up, and said with a smile: "Jun's wish, after arriving in Chang'an, you can state it to the Holy Lord in person!"

Yan Chipan's face turned pale in an instant, and no matter how humble his posture was, he couldn't change his fate of becoming a prisoner of the Tang Kingdom.

The emperor of the Tang State is not the king of Zhou Wu, let alone the king of Chuzhuang, the warm and affectionate act of destroying the country and saving his society and blood food is already an old story of Yin Zhou Chunqiu. In the new era, the strategy of the Tang State continued that year's Qin, which destroyed the Six Kingdoms

The court is very firm in its implementation: "There is no forgiveness for winning the country!"

Not only Yan Chipan was going to be escorted to Chang'an, but even the concubines and beauties in the palaces of Youguo were also asked to go out of the city today.

They did not have a good time in the siege, but now they are reluctant to leave the warm palace. But Yan Chipan is like a frosted eggplant, what can they do? Under the threat of the blade, these weak and delicate bodies in brocade clothes and jade food could only cry and cry, get into the carriage that Wang Bo had already prepared, and follow the emperor of Youguo to the west.

Wang Bo, who was sitting on a war horse watching this scene, only remembered a sentence from the book he had just seen: "Concubine concubine, prince and grandson, quit the palace downstairs, come from Qin, sing the night strings, and be a member of the Qin palace." Z.br>

The curiosities, treasures, and beauties that have been greedily collected by the hidden kingdoms of the past dynasties are just wedding dresses for the Tang Kingdom in the end.

After that, it was the ministers, princes and grandsons who came with the sacrificial vessels of the Youguo Kingdom, and they learned that they were about to be escorted to the customs, causing a commotion and protests.

But under the threat of the Tang saber and spear, he quickly succumbed, and when he walked westward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, some people looked back at Xiangping City from time to time, sighed step by step, recalled the past, and couldn't help but feel sad from it, full of tears.

I don't know who started it, but these officials and ministers, who were elegant and proud in the past, are now embarrassed prisoners, and sang a ballad in unison.

"He is detached, and he is the truth. The line is vigorous, and the center is like choking. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky! Who is this?"

"Those royal officials of the hidden country, what did they sing when they traveled west?"

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the second year of Yuanwu of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the day after Yan Chipan surrendered to the Tang army, Duan Yu and Hao Shu and others also left Xiangping City and began to return to Yanmen County with the Eighth Army.

When resting on the road, Duan Yu recalled the situation yesterday and asked Shi Pu like this, he only knew that "those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I want something", as for the meaning of the whole poem, it is not very clear.

"It's "Huang Li", one of Wang Feng's." Zhang Teng walked over and replied.

Zhang Teng said to Duan Yu that this "Huang Li" was after Zong Zhou was destroyed by the dog Rong, some of the doctors of the Zhou room were captured to the north, looking at the former Zongmiao palace room, all of them were He Huang, so he was sad about the subversion of the Zhou room, and he couldn't bear to go, and wrote this poem.

Duan Yu thought, "It's extremely consistent with the state of mind of the hundreds of officials of the Imperial Family of Youguo."

The Eighth Army was not part of the besieging army, so it only watched the beginning of this surrender ceremony, and could not observe the whole process. Even the city was not allowed to enter, so it was impossible to see the Tang army entering the city to search for the nobles hidden everywhere, and the ceremonial treasures carrying the carts came out.

Wang Bo took one last look at Xiangping City and said to Song Shilun and Meng Song on the side: "The Holy Lord once said that the destruction of a city and the destruction of a country are not easy things to do.

The Yongguo, the Ji and the current Youguo did not simply die from external violence, but from internal festering and the mistakes they constantly caused.

Conquest and reunification have never been warm, but mostly violent destruction, which has only afflicted the people."

When Song Shilun and others heard this, they nodded, and praised the emperor of the Tang State, Wang Rong, for his kindness.
