and the Metropolitan Governor's Office

This place was originally a prosperous street and a prosperous population, but after the Hu people raged, the population plummeted to the original sixty percent, but fortunately recovered, gradually peaceful, and restored a lot of prosperity.

On the wide street, pedestrians gradually came, but saw a big house, in front of the mén left and right four pro-soldiers with long knives in their hands, and there was a plaque on it, and the plaque reads "Fan Mansion".

"The general summoned me, but what happened?" Chen Yi, Fan Liuhai's staff, who was not tall and had a beard, saw his lord sitting in his seat, pondered silently, and said inquiringly.

At this time, there were four people sitting in the study, Fan Liuhai was the first, two staff members, and a general were sitting below in turn.

Fan Liuhai pondered for a moment and said, "I just received an order from the imperial court, about the grassland. ”

"Grassland?, but the general's order to go on the expedition?" Chen Yi asked with a slight startle.

The other two frowned slightly, waiting for the general to continue.

The three of them are Fan Liuhai's henchmen, and Fan Liuhai did not hide it, and said directly: "It's not about it, the emperor ordered me to prepare here to take over the remnants of Balu." ”

"King Baru, Khan!" doesn't need Fan Liuhai to say in detail at this time, the three of them all know who this person is.

Can you remember?

The movement made by this person on the grassland is really not small, and the news of the surrender sent to Jinling also passed through Bingzhou, and Fan Liuhai naturally knew the inside story.

Fan Liuhai knows the inside story, and these henchmen and strategists know a little about themselves.

"It's that man. Fan Liuhai opened his mouth and said: "The battle between the two sides on the grassland, the winner and the loser, you must also know this, what was sent before was a request for surrender." The emperor has directly issued a decree to surrender the Hu people to establish a flag system. ”

This general is Lu Zheng, he has been holding his hands on his knees, sitting upright, listening without moving, and then asked: "General, the flag system proposed by the emperor is to imitate the mountain flag? Can this Hu man be subject to the control of the imperial court?"

At that time, the mountain tribe was only harming one place, and the Hu people had an impact on the entire Central Plains, so could the two forces be restrained in one way?

Fan Liuhai didn't speak, he was also thinking about this question, he had fought with the mountain clan. This clan is belligerent, and it is really difficult to deal with.

And he also fought with Hu Ren, and I have to say that there are really some similarities between the two.

They are all barbarians, they are all warlike and warlike, and they do not obey discipline, in many ways. It's all similar.

"The emperor's move must be reasonable, and you and I will do it according to the order. Fan Liuhai said slowly: "There is no need to say more, let's discuss the next one." ”

"Building the flag is not the most important, it will be carried out until Balu belongs, what we have to think about now is whether this Balu is really surrendering to our dynasty, or is it a strategy?" Fan Liuhai lowered his eyes. 4∴ (8) 0 (sat) 5 looked at the teacup in his hand and said.

"The Hu people have always been cunning, and this matter really has to be guarded against. Lu Zheng said immediately.

Another staff member hesitated and said, "No, there are only 10,000 people left in Balu, how dare you offend my Dacheng Dynasty at this time?"

"Just because Balu is at the end of his rope, I don't know what his plans will be!" Chen Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. Stared at this person, and said cautiously: "Although there is only one or two percent of the possibility of fraud, but if they really take advantage of the situation, the annexed state we are guarding will be in danger, so how can we not be negligent at all to the imperial court and the emperor." ”

"That's what Mr. Chan said. This is not related to our net worth and life, this matter must not be careless, Balu to surrender, must be thoughtful. Fan Liuhai pondered for a moment and said: "But the imperial court has a will, so that General Wu will come to this city to join me, when there are 70,000 troops in the city, Balu only has 10,000, as long as you are careful, don't worry about anything happening!"

Originally, there were only more than 30,000 states, which was actually comparable to Wu Xingzong, but Fan Liuhai's qualifications and official positions were above Wu Xingzong, so he could naturally govern them, and when he heard that Wu Xingzong's people would also arrive, the people in the house didn't say anything anymore.

It can be seen that the emperor has been prepared for a long time and will have this order.

Wu Xingzong also received an order from Jinling at this time.

At this time, the night was cold and cold, and the four mén in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were closed, and in one room, one person was wandering.

"Balu asks the imperial court to surrender?" Wu Xingzong received the situation, he held the information he had just sent in his hand, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

Under the dim light, I heard more sounds around me, and there was a faint collision sound of the soldiers' clothes and armor, looming, it seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be nearby, adding a bit of atmosphere to the study.

The tumbling green qi was on top of him, and a trace of purple qi was converging, but it had faded a lot compared to before.

Last time, he slashed and killed the king of Hu and burned 10,000 people, and he was indeed rewarded richly, and he was promoted to Sanpin, the governor of a province, and controlled the army of 30,000, which can be said to be the youngest general since the founding of the country.

But the small section is not as good as the general trend, the Hu people are defeated, the general trend is completely in the hands of Wang Hongyi, and the hidden dragon will never come out of the abyss, so the green qi is vigorous, but the purple qi dissipates instead, which is a manifestation of the decline of the Mandate of Heaven.

"Na descended to the Hu people, the emperor is really unexpected. Wu Xingzong can imagine how shocked the officials in the court were when they faced this order, but since the order was issued to him, it means that the minister has compromised.

Anyway, the Hu people fell apart at this time, which is a good thing for the Dacheng Dynasty, supporting one side and suppressing the other, the emperor is planning to do this, right?

Wu Xingzong has never been to the grassland, and he has heard that the environment is much worse than that of the Central Plains, especially the thousands of miles of grassland, it is difficult to pass, if the Dacheng army directly enters and fights with the cavalry Hu people who are familiar with the terrain, I am afraid that it will be a loss.

Anyway, now there is only one mén mind to allegiance to Dacheng, thinking of this, Wu Xingzong stood up and ordered: "Come here, pass on my order, and let the generals above the fifth rank go to the council hall to wait for me!"

Watching shì convey the order from the outside, Wu Xingzong's eyes were deep, and he was ordered to join Fan Liuhai and wait for Balu's arrival to be surrendered.

Official Road

An army of 30,000 is marching rapidly, and the army is galloping, "booming" with continuous thunder.

At this time, it is still not close to Luoyang.

Although on the march. Wang Hongyi was just prepared, and the arrival of 100,000 troops in Luoyang was just a second-line buffer, which was just in case, and he didn't really have the intention to go straight to the front line with 100,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report, Balu led his troops to flee to Bingzhou, and he should be able to reach Bingzhou in two days!" A thirteen divisions and thousands of households followed from behind at this time, and reported in front of Wang Hongyi's imperial car.

"It doesn't matter. General Fan is sitting there, and he must have already arranged it. Wang Hongyi did not move and said.

Several wills had already been sent down before leaving Jinling, and Fan Liuhai must have made thorough preparations at this time.

Even if it was the Great Khan's pursuers to catch up with the state. There were soldiers, horses and firearms stationed there, which were enough to resist, and he also rushed to Luoyang with an army of 100,000.

Seeing that the emperor Chengzhu was in xiōng, the thirteen divisions and thousands of households retreated silently.

In fact, when Wang Hongyi was thinking like this, a Hu army had already rushed to the position of the newly built Hu people on the front line of Lichuan City.

The trumpet sounded, and the generals hurriedly went to the city. When I went up, I only listened to the report: "The Hu people are here, and the number of people is not only 10,000, but about 20,000." ”

Fan Liuhai's face sank, and he ordered: "Order, put on the crossbow, put on the fire, and let the soldiers guard the palace!"

Listen to the command. The Chinese army immediately conveyed the order, and for a time the guards on the city wall were on alert and ready to fight.

Everyone looked serious, and dense firebolts were all over the walls.

Seeing this, Wu Xingzong did not move, stood on the city tower and looked at it from afar, only to see the horizon. There was a group of Hu soldiers coming towards the city, and the preliminary estimate was that the number was about 3,000.

And a group of cavalry rushed over and looked at the city, but the army in the city was neat. The muzzles of the guns were densely pointed at each other, and there was no movement at all.

When the sentinel saw this, he ran back, and soon most of them rolled in, slowly concentrating a mile in front of the city.

Seeing this, Fan Liuhai and Wu Xingzong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Fan Liuhai's expression was calm, and when he looked carefully, he saw that most of them were fùnv children, probably because of this reason, when the team arrived at Bingzhou City, they were exhausted.

"There are a lot of children, but there are only 7,000 men. Wu Xingzong's eyes were sharp, he had already estimated, took a step forward, and said to Fan Liuhai.

Fan Liuhai smiled and said, "Yes, this is much easier." ”

Saying that, he ordered: "Open the city, go out of the army!"

In the face of the Hu army, if you don't come out of the city, you will be timid, to be realistic, Dacheng jīng Rui 70,000, against this only 7,000 troops, if you don't dare to go out of the city to fight, it will be in vain to be the founding army.

The city was wide open, and the Dacheng army stepped out, solemnly arrayed, the military discipline was strict, and it stood quietly, and the whole military array did not have a trace of noise, exuding a commanding military might.

The army of firearms in the city was also solemnly arrayed, and the muzzles of their guns were black and faint.

There was a red sè above and below the city, but under the sun, the smell of iron and blood in the air was even more obvious.

The Hu people are not without rules, even if the thousands of cavalry are tired, they still form a large formation, but when they see this military spirit, they are suddenly silent, no one speaks, only a fear.

Balu was also an old man, and when he saw it, he understood that this army was very strong, and there were many of them, and they were very well prepared, and they were even so strong that his heart sank.

A cavalry rushed to the Tu Dacheng army, and someone wanted to intercept it, but Balu shook his head and let this man run.

Before coming to Balu, although there were Hu soldiers all around, this person was not afraid at all, and gave a slight salute and said: "I am the messenger of the general of Dacheng Dingguo, and my general asked me to bring a word!"

This man glanced at everyone and said, "My general asked, do you want to fight or surrender?"

This is in the language of the grassland, and all the Hu soldiers have heard it unchanged!

Balu's face was blue, but he didn't speak, and one of them asked, "How about fighting, how about surrendering?"

"If you want to fight, you can fight immediately, our army will fight with Erye!" this man looked up to the sky and smiled, said, looked coldly at the generals, saw that the generals were silent, and said: "If you want to surrender, you want to come forward and fight and surrender." ”

Yijiang was immediately furious and was about to speak, but when he stepped forward, he made a "snap" and a heavy whip was on him.

Balu's face turned blue and he said, "Please tell the general that I accept this condition." ”

"Your Highness!" someone cried out in unwillingly pain.

Balu's eyes flickered, and he said slowly, "Do we still have a choice at this time?"

The army fought with his father Khan, losing 50,000 grassland warriors before and after, and 200,000 people suffered, which has greatly damaged the strength of the grassland.

Originally, when I came here, I was thinking about other thoughts, but as soon as I saw this array, I knew that this thought was tantamount to looking for death.

Hearing this, the messenger's face turned to a gentle face, and he said, "You have this heart, great goodness. ”

As he spoke, he dialed his horse back to pray, and Fan Liuhai in the city laughed when he heard the return, and said to the left and right: "It seems that this Balu is very sincere." ”

Then he commanded to go down, and he agreed.
