For Tuoba Tao, what the enemy dropped after a while of persuading him to surrender was not a log of fuel oil, but a lot of heads of men, women and children. It was a confusing thing.
"He Lianchang's brain is broken? He thought that if we dropped a bunch of heads, we would stop?" Tuoba Tao sneered after hearing his subordinate's reply: "He Lianchang was not afraid to start Are you messed up?"
"Your Majesty, the Huns who dropped their heads shouted from the top of the city... shout..." The subordinate who was in charge of shouting down in the Xiongnu language also looked surprised, "It is said that if anyone in the Xia State surrenders, the tribe will be wiped out, even if Even the imperial family is not immune..."
"What? Whose clan is the head thrown?" Tuoba Tao was dumbfounded.
"It's Helianding's family!"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Tuoba Tao was stupid, the civil and military people of Wei were also stupid.
None of them thought that Helianchang would keep all of Helianding's family and children in Tongwan as hostages.
After all, Helianding's status is different, and he is also Helianchang's brother. Although he is not the same mother, his brother is always more dependable than outsiders. At the risk of death, I ran to Shuozhou...
"If the Xia Kingdom is not destroyed by the hands of my great Wei, the law of heaven will not allow it. A monarch, who is so aggrieved, and even has to use this method to stabilize the country, is really ashamed of my generation."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"
Gu Bi did not sigh like Tuoba Tao, but laughed and congratulated: "Helianding has a very high prestige in the Xia Kingdom, and there are not many people in the army who are benevolent. Helianding's wife is also a big family in the Xia Kingdom. , Now Helianchang is in disarray, and everyone in Wancheng wants to be in danger and morale is down. General Budui's persuasion to surrender seems to be effective. , working for him will lead to the killing of monks and so on, and within three days, there will be a large number of enemies coming down!"
Tuoba Tao nodded in agreement, and the rest of the scolds immediately added Helianchang's crime of massacring his nephew to the scold.
The people of Wei continued to do the opposite in an orderly manner. Tuoba Tao sent people who dared to die and asked them to carry their shields and go to the city to retrieve all the heads.
"Helianding is a hero. If we enter Tongwan, let's help him bury his family's bones. Such a sin, I can't even think about it."
As soon as Tuoba Tao said these words, the knights of the Yingyang Army and several others outside the tent turned their heads in the direction of He Mulan involuntarily.
He Mulan's eyelids jumped when they saw him, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.
Sure enough, anyone who is not blind can see this kind of gaze, so Tuoba Tao turned his head in He Mulan's direction and asked aloud, "What do you think he does? Can he resurrect the dead?"
Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to know about Hua Mulan's ability, Kumo explained that He Mulan was embarrassed, and explained for her: "When Hua Mulan was in the army, sometimes he would help collect the bodies of his companions. He will also help to sew up the comrades who were taken back, so His Majesty said that the corpse was collected, and everyone turned to him."
Tuoba Tao didn't understand why the corpses in the Montenegro camp had to be stitched up. Thinking about the letter sent by Su Hejun again, it was said that the meritorious officer treated the incomplete corpse as a squishy or ownerless person to make money, and suddenly understood what this person was doing in the army.
With such courage, and willing to risk offending the military elites to protect the interests of his comrades, Tuoba Tao glanced at He Mulan and said "very good".
No one knows if this "very good" means that He Mulan can sew up corpses very well, or whether he used to help his fellow robes to sew up corpses very well. Everyone has their own opinions and looks at He Mulan. There are also a few more unknown meanings.
He Mulan felt up and down in his heart, wishing he could change his face and stop appearing in front of others. Unfortunately, she is now Kumoti's personal soldier, and this is the front of the battle, so she can't go far. Several people looked at He Mulan with guiltful eyes, obviously he regretted his unconscious gaze just now.
But what can He Mulan say? From the very beginning when she agreed to Di Yefei's request to do such a thing, she was destined to be unable to avoid other people's strange eyes.
This day passed in the scolding battle, and the heads of Helianding's family, young and old, were picked up by the military slaves wearing shields. Surprisingly, when the military slaves went to pick up the heads, none of the officers and soldiers at the city gate shot arrows below, so they watched them put the heads back in sacks.
After Tuoba Tao heard the actions of the officers and soldiers at the city gate, he couldn't help sighing: "Even a small city gate officer in Xia couldn't bear to let the bones of Duke Pingyuan's family be destroyed by horses' hoofs. Below, He Lianchang's actions are really inferior to pigs and dogs!"
His contempt for Helianchang became more and more serious, and he wished that Xi Jin's army would arrive immediately, the three armies would encircle, and it would be good to take this unified city as soon as possible.
That night, the Wei army who was in Tongwancheng camped for the night, and it was quiet. The Wei army all knew that Tongwancheng did not dare to open the city gate to attack at night, and the emperor himself sat here, so except for some soldiers who were on duty at night, most of the tired soldiers slept very sweetly.
He Mulan was not in the tent at this time, but was feeding the horses in the temporary barn built by Tuoba Tao's manu.
As the saying goes, Ma Wuye's grass is not fat. He is so thin that he is not as strong as his previous life. He Mulan is also anxious when he sees it. It is impossible to say that Tuoba Tao will go to attack Tongwancheng in a few days, and Yueying will be on the front line as a substitute horse. die
"I said, your bad temper should be changed. Bad temper should be directed at your enemies, not your friends..."
"puff!"
"I wipe! You spray me again!"
He Mulan took away the black bean balls and the bran skin that was on the side.
"I won't feed you."
"Hey hee hee hee!" (Come back!)
After one person and one horse fought for a while, He Mulan opened its teeth and looked at it, and found that the teeth were all grown, so he patted its back: "It's all grown, you are now a horse that can be ridden by others. If you are a horse, you have to have the self-esteem of a BMW. Famous horses live for the battlefield, and you can’t just compete in the stable all the time.”
"Mulan, have you been with Yueying before?"
A figure flashed out of the shadows, interrupting He Mulan's self-talk to Yueying.
He Mulan was startled and stared to see that it was none other than his own commander, Kumoti.
"No... I just had a horse similar to Yue Ying before..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kumoti showed a smile that was not a smile.
Yueying is a Dawan horse, not to mention that He Mulan could not have it, even Kumoti would only ride a well-trained co-Roman.
"Imperial means that the temperament is very similar."
Seeing that there were many mistakes in what he said, He Mulan lowered her head to make up for it, and stopped talking.
"Mulan, I know you have a secret, but I'm not a good person to get to the bottom of things, you can rest assured." Kumoti reached out and touched Yue Ying, was bitten, and immediately retracted his hand.
In the dark night, Cuomo's increased stature was more oppressive. He stood in front of He Mulan and looked at the top of the other's head when he lowered his head: "I know your ability, but you know some medical skills, You can tame horses, and you can also drive a bow with more than 160 steps. People like you will never be children of ordinary military families. But you are really loyal to the country, so I don’t want to go into details…”
He Mulan's heart skipped a beat at Kumoti's words.
"If you go to the battlefield, take care of your Majesty's safety first, and leave me alone."
"what?"
He Mulan raised her head and looked at Kumoti in surprise.
Why are you surprised, aren't you the one by your Majesty's side
Kumoti laughed in his heart.
"Your Majesty likes to take the lead, his horse is fast, and the guards are very troubled. Since I am driving, I will definitely stay by Your Majesty's side. You are all my personal soldiers, and naturally you will follow Your Majesty's side. He said, "I know that my personal soldiers, if my Majesty and I are in danger at the same time, they will not necessarily give up me to save His Majesty. But you are different. You and I have no real master-servant relationship. If you encounter such a situation, you should protect His Majesty..."
"Generals don't need to be so careful. His Majesty has many guards around him, and there are generals Situ and Skong under the protection of generals, it is unlikely..."
"I mean, if there is an emergency, just do it." Kumoti smiled and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret, when His Majesty is in war, he likes to wear the armor of ordinary soldiers, and even the Guards sometimes find them. not to him."
He Mulan was stunned.
Did Kumoti take the wrong medicine tonight? What did she say so much to a soldier of hers
You have to show your heart to Tuoba Tao, talk to his Su Wei, no matter how much you care about Tuoba Tao to your own soldiers, it won't reach his ears!
With a smile, Kumoti watched Yue Ying finish eating the "night grass", cupping the back of He Mulan's head with her head, she kept staggering forward and couldn't help laughing.
"It's still my horse. It's not a BMW, but at least... what sound?"
When the night is bright, the sound of the horse's hooves is even more obvious. The alternating and neat sound of the horse's hooves running on the ground can't be imitated by any sound. After a terrifying silence, the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the camp, and the messenger loudly passed the alarm of "enemy attack". The whole Wei camp seemed to come to life suddenly, and the sound of iron armor rubbing and the crowd began to be heard. The sound of running, Kumoti and Hua Mulan were located near the king's tent where the emperor lived, and they saw countless soldiers and guards running out, closely surrounding the king's tent where the emperor lived, forming several layers of circles.
"It shouldn't be an enemy attack. It's just now, it's neither midnight nor early morning. Which idiot would choose to attack at this hour?"
Kumoti shook his head, as he said, except for some tired soldiers, many people did not sleep at this time. On the enemy's territory, the Wei army would never disarm at night. When it was just after eight o'clock, the enemy attacked several times as many camps as his own. It was a death sentence.
He Mulan, like Hua Mulan, has no extraordinary talent in the military, and can only follow the commander's orders. Kumoti didn't show panic, and didn't even ask her to prepare weapons. It was really not dangerous.
Sure enough, in about a quarter of an hour, a general in Xia Guo's armor followed Bo Yaguan in the Wei army all the way to the king's tent. After a while, the new Fengshe man named Zheng Zong in the king's tent served Tuo. Ba Tao's will to invite Kumoti.
Hua Mulan followed Kumoti into the king's tent. All the ministers who accompanied the army had already arrived in the king's tent. The general in Xia Guo's armor was standing ten steps away from Tuoba Tao, separated by a group of Suwei. Said something to the Wei people in the king's tent.
When he saw Kumoti coming in, Tuoba Tao laughed: "You came just in time. Di Ziyu, the general of the Xia State, led his troops to surrender at night. You lead the eagle and raise your army out to welcome them into the camp."
He Mulan blinked.
Huh? Has anyone really fallen? .
In such a situation, even if the corporal is honored again, the monarch will not risk the enemy's deceitful surrender to greet the surrendering army at night. Apart from Situ Zhang Sun Han, the person with the highest status here is Tuoba Ti (Kumotti) who inherited his father's throne at a young age.
This group of Xia soldiers naturally knew the concerns of the Wei people, so before entering the Wei camp, the commander asked his subordinates to remove their weapons and enter the Wei army wearing only armor. They were very happy when they saw King Yingchuan, who was from Wei, coming to greet him. The leader of the generals had a high nose, big eyes, curly hair, and was very young. As soon as they met, they had the etiquette of the Qiang people, and they were obviously Qiang people.
The sixteen states in the north were all founded by the Hu people, and the Xia state was founded by the Huns, but there were many Qiang people living in the original land of the Xia state. Everyone knew that Di Ziyu was a general of the Qiang people, so they did not dare to neglect him. Kumoti As soon as he welcomed him into the camp, the other party followed Kumoti to see Tuoba Tao.
When Di Ziyu met Tuoba Tao, he first saluted Tuoba Tao with the etiquette of meeting his lord. The latter was very happy and gave him a seat.
Di Ziyu could only speak Qiang and Xiongnu. Fortunately, Tuoba Tao was ambitious and determined to sweep the north. In addition to Xianbei and Chinese, he could also speak Xiongnu, so there was no problem in communication.
After seeing Tuoba Tao, Di Ziyu first explained to him that he was willing to submit to him, and then told the situation of Wei Jun's current control of Wancheng.
"When Helian, the Duke of Pingyuan, decided to leave, he repeatedly asked Helianchang not to leave the city, and he must defend Tongwan. The city of Tongwan is extremely strong, and he has enough food and grass for the entire city's army and people for ten years. Duke Pingyuan once said that as long as he did not die in battle , will definitely attack Tongwan, and then attack from the north and south. Therefore, Helianchang concentrated on defending the city before, but he has been reluctant to fight, and concentrated on waiting for Duke Pingyuan."
Di Ziyu told everyone why Tongwancheng did not send troops no matter how he called an array to persuade him to surrender.
"Now Duke Pingyuan has been captured by your country, and Helianchang has no support, so he began to panic. Today, he killed Duke Pingyuan's family, and flogged many ministers for no reason, saying that they had surrender in their hearts. Several princes persuaded him, but he splashed his face with hot water instead."
He went on to say: "I am a Qiang, but I was subdued by the Helian clan because I couldn't beat the Xia Kingdom and to protect the clan. Now Helian Chang even treats his confidants like this. When the war begins, I will definitely wait for the Qiang compatriots. I will be driven to do the death camp thing, in order not to leave the family, the old and the young, unsupported, I simply communicated with a few colleagues who had long been willing to surrender, and secretly opened the city gate at night, and came out and surrendered first.”
This surrender is not easy for everyone to surrender, and often the first one to go out is the most dangerous. If they were attacked at night and destroyed, or if the commander of the other party would not accept the surrender, or if the letter was put under house arrest, it would all be a loss to the lady and the army.
Therefore, Di Ziyu's willingness to take the lead in coming out to investigate the situation can be described as a generation of extraordinary courage.
Tuoba Tao, no matter what kind of cats and dogs are coming to surrender now, as long as someone surrenders, they can figure out the current situation of Tongwancheng, and they can also know the truth and reality of it. Tuoba Tao and many ministers who can speak Xiongnu asked Di. After Ziyu asked many questions about the situation in Tongwancheng, Di Ziyu threw another huge surprise.
"When I escaped, I was meeting Zhang Yuan, the Great History Commander of the Xia Kingdom. I thought that death was not far away, but Zhang Yuan asked me to bring a word to the Great Khan..."
Di Ziyu was a young man. Seeing that everyone was looking at him attentively, he immediately said with satisfaction: "'Helianchang was brutal and faint, and the lives of all the people in the city were in worry. Today I want to put his life in the hands of the Great Khan, but I don't know. Would the Great Khan dare to take it?', that's what he told me."
As soon as Di Ziyu's words came out, the officials in the full account were a little excited.
Zhang Yuan, the Grand History of the Xia Kingdom, was an extremely remarkable figure. When he was young, he served as an official under Fu Jian. Back then, when Fu Jian wanted to go south, he argued against it, persuading him not to go south. He refused to accept it. Later, in the early Feishui battle, he was defeated, and Zhang Yuan became famous for a while.
However, he gained fame, but he was not accepted by the rulers and ministers of the former Qin state. He believed that he used the failure of the Qin state to establish his reputation. After Helian Xia destroyed the post-Qin state, Zhang Yuan served as the imperial official in the Xia state. over sixty.
This is a wily Hanchen, and his character is tough. He said that he wanted to put Helianchang in the hands of Wei State, how could it not be encouraging
Tuoba Tao asked repeatedly, asking Di Ziyu and Zhang Yuan how to send them Emperor Xia. Di Ziyu told Tuoba Tao that if the Wei army attacked the city, the east, west, and south gates could be heavily armed, while the north gate leading to the Wei state would be led by Tuoba Tao's army, leaving an ambush in secret.
If this is done, when the army is attacking the city, Zhang Yuan and several ministers will persuade Helianchang to take the elite cavalry in the city to attack from the north gate, in order to annihilate Tuoba Tao's team. In this way, the two armies who were in ambush in secret and those who had been prepared for a long time could instantly encircle and capture Helianchang alive.
This strategy sounds really good, but Zhang Sun Han and other ministers disagreed.
The first is the question of whether He Lianchang will attack. Although He Lianchang has made a foolish move now, it does not mean that he is a fool. The army is besieged outside. As a monarch, how could he attack so rashly
Second, although there was an ambush, if Tuoba Tao had an emergency and was really injured by Helianchang, wouldn't the gain outweigh the gain? Although it is difficult to attack Tong Wan, it will always be won, and there is no need to take this risk.
Third, why did Zhang Yuan help the Wei people? Although Helianchang was brutal, he respected Zhang Yuan and other Han officials very much. In Xia, Taishi Ling was different from other countries. He was an important minister who consulted on important government affairs. Helianchang never neglected him. Di Ziyu and his like can surrender, why should Zhang Yuan betray
Di Ziyu may have martial arts, but his IQ does not seem to be high. When the ministers of Wei State asked questions, he was at a loss for words. They have been extremely disappointed in him.
But this is not the reason to convince Tuoba Tao.
Di Ziyu was at first dizzy and dizzy when they asked at length. Later, Tuoba Tao stopped them from "tortured" Di Ziyu in turn. Only then did Di Ziyu remember one thing and immediately shouted:
"Among the Helianding family who beheaded this morning, there is Zhang Yuan's great-grandson!"
As soon as Di Ziyu called, Tuoba Tao's eyes lit up immediately.
"Is this true?"
Di Ziyu quickly explained the situation.
It turned out that Zhang Yuan had a granddaughter, who was clever since childhood, and was later married to Helian Ding as his wife. When she gave birth to a son for Helianding, she encountered difficulties. According to the rules of the Huns, she gave up her mother and kept her son. Zhang Yuan, the granddaughter, died like this, leaving only one great grandson, and the Zhang Yuan family and Helianding's family also had disputes.
Later, Helianding married another wife, the daughter of the Liu clan of the Xiongnu clan, and gave birth to several more children. This great-grandson became embarrassed. Zhang Yuan took him back to the Zhang family, and taught him confidently. After he was a little older, Helianding took the son back, because Helianding was now a member of Xia Guozhushi, and for the future of this great grandson, Zhang Yuan let He Lianding take him home.
Helianding rescued Chang'an, and his family was taken into the palace, including Zhang Yuan's great grandson. Although this is not necessarily the whole reason for Zhang Yuan's fall to Wei, but with this fuse, there has been a gap between Zhang Yuan and Helianchang.
"Why did you know this kind of secret?"
Tuoba Tao knows whether the relationship between the two families is good, whether Zhang Yuan has the confidence to teach his grandson, and whether he has feelings for him, is definitely not something that a Qiang person who is a general in Tongwancheng can know. The straightforward-looking young man blushed and twitched.
Tuoba Tao had goose bumps all over his body, and he had to ask more clearly. Di Ziyu pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Ping Ping's younger sister, the fourth princess said that when I was chatting."
As for why the Fourth Princess chatted with him, and why he was squeamish, all the ministers had their own guesses in their hearts, and even Tuoba Tao couldn't help laughing and crying.
There is such a thing! Hearing that the princess of the Xia Kingdom will not be hindered when she walks forward, it is true that she can see foreign ministers often.
The Hu people have transitioned from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society. Patriarchal power has just begun, and women still have a certain status. The princesses and concubines of the Xianbei and Huns often meet with their relatives, but chatting with a young Qiang general is beyond everyone's expectations.
Tuoba Tao immediately laughed out loud:
"I didn't expect General Di to have such a noble confidante! If Tongwancheng is captured and Helianchang is really captured, then General Di, you are the best! Then I will be a grown-up beauty and give the four princesses to me. It's for you."
As soon as Tuoba Tao's promise came out, the brilliance on Di Ziyu's face could be seen by a blind man. Tuoba Tao saw that he was a greedy person, and he had some confidence in his submission. After Di Ziyu said several colleagues in the army who wanted to submit, Tuoba Tao clearly expressed his intention to accept it. , Di Ziyu was overjoyed, secretly glad that his trip was right, not only right, but also great!
Di Ziyu was sent away by Tuoba Tao, and everyone in the tent was beaming with joy, as if victory was in sight.
He Mulan stood behind Kumoti, eyes full of circles.
For He Mulan, who did not understand the Xiongnu language, the scene just now looked like this:
Di Ziyu: Whoa whoa whoa whoa! (slaps thigh) Wow!
Tuoba Tao: Wow? Whoa whoa whoa? Wow cool wow wow wow!
Di Ziyu: Wow
Ministers: Wow! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! (chuckles)
He Mulan, who was not satisfied with the gossip, stood extremely boring, and suddenly understood why Su Hejun wanted to know the outcome of something, so he would not give up until his goal was achieved...
She is also curious now!
After that, the handsome young man's face was red and his ears were red when he was asked by Tuoba Tao, and his eyes were full of spring.
Red face and red ears can also be said to be ashamed, this is so twisted that his face is rippling, what is the rhythm of his meow
Is it easy for the coin to express itself
Could it be that Tuoba Tao is actually a master who can be subdued by both men and women, and this new general of the enemy country actually fell in love with him at first sight, goodbye to fall in love with him
It's too creepy, isn't it
Tuoba Tao is an eight-footed man!
