On August 11, the third day of the surrender of the Sanchuan tribe to the Wei army, dozens of miles away in the "Gongdi", the local Sanchuan tribe of the two ethnic groups of the Xuan and the Qiang also surrendered to Zhu Haixiancheng, the general of the Chenggao army, outside the city.

At this time, the Chenggao army had not yet finished building the siege equipment needed to attack Gongcheng.

"What do you say? Dropped? Gongcheng's Qiang and Qiang tribes have descended? ”

After hearing the news sent by the general, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, was dumbfounded.

You know, he sent troops from Chenggao Pass on August 8 and arrived at the destination Gongcheng on the 9th, and since then he has begun to order the Chenggao soldiers under his command to build siege weapons, preparing to start a fierce battle with the Sanchuan tribe in Gongcheng......

"What the hell?!"

Zhu Hai was a little confused.

Of course, he would be suspicious of this, but the problem was that the tribal chiefs of the Qiang and Qiang tribes near Gongcheng were said to have taken the initiative to surrender under the military camp where his Chenggao army was stationed, and if they surrendered by fraud, the risk taken by the other party would be too great.

"Invite them in."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Hai decided to summon those patriarchs to the handsome tent for careful questioning.

It didn't take long for the general Zhou Kui to bring several patriarchs of the Sanchuan tribe in the Gongcheng area to Zhuhai's handsome tent, only to see these patriarchs tied up one by one with their hands tied behind their backs.

Seeing this, Zhu Hai glanced at Zhou Kui, and his eyes were asking: Did you order someone to tie him up?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Kuibian flattened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders very innocently: they were like this when they came.

Zhu Hai was even more puzzled in his heart, and suddenly, he found that among those patriarchs, two of them did not tie their hands, and their expressions did not look like they were frightened as if they had come to beg for surrender, and they felt as if they were out of the matter.

Seeing this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but ask, "Who are the two of you?" ”

I saw that the two people bowed towards Zhu Hai, and one of them introduced in a fairly smooth Wei Chinese: "I am the patriarch of the Baiyang tribe of the Luodi tribe, Halagohe, and the person next to me is Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe of the Di tribe. ”

Zhu Hai was stunned when he heard this, and asked incredulously with his mouth open, "I...... His Royal Highness the King of Su of our country, has conquered the city? ”

"Yes." Halgoch replied respectfully.

"This ...... That's too fast, isn't it?'

Zhu Hai opened his mouth and asked again: "You two are ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Great Wei Su, and the meaning of the words is ......"

Halgoh bowed his body and said respectfully: "The tribes of my land have submitted to the command of the king of your country. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Hai and his subordinate Zhou Kui glanced at each other, and their mood was as if they had been trampled by a group of cattle, how messy.

Thinking about it, you must know that they sent troops to Gongcheng, which was the order given by the king of Su, but only two days later, before their Chenggao army launched a formal attack on Gongdi, the tribal patriarchs in Gongcheng were persuaded to surrender by the two tribal patriarchs of Yucheng, that is, there was nothing to do with their Chenggao army before and after.

Playing tricks?

Zhu Hai opened his mouth, then licked his lips again, but he didn't know what to say.

And Halgoh seemed to be mistaken, seeing that Zhu Hai was silent, he hurriedly said: "General Zhu, the tribal patriarchs of Gongcheng are truly subservient to King Su and Wei State, if the general does not believe it, he can immediately enter Gongcheng." …… The tribal warriors in the city have disarmed, and no one will dare to offend your army. ”

"......" Zhu Hai glanced at Halegoh a few times, and then turned his head to look at his subordinate Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui understood, nodded and said, "The last general will lead two thousand soldiers to take a look." ”

With that, he turned and left the tent.

After that, Zhu Hai inquired about some of the battles in Halegohe, after all, he still didn't believe that these people would submit to their Wei state so easily, so he carefully inquired about the specific process of Zhao Hongrun leading the Dangshan army and the Shangshui army to attack the city.

And when Halgoh told Zhu Hai that Zhao Hongrun had used thirty catapults and more than 100 barrels of oil drums filled with black water to force down the tribes of Yucheng, Zhu Hai's expression became so strange.

It's no wonder that although Zhu Hai didn't know what that 'black water-like fire oil' was, the losses on their Wei side were too insignificant, and they actually conquered the land without losing a single soldier?

It's not this kind of nonsense, is it?

What made him dumbfounded was that about half an hour later, when Zhu Hai became more and more impatient with the "lies" in Halegoh's mouth, his subordinate Zhou Kui urgently sent someone to report that he had successfully taken over Gongdi without encountering any obstacles during the period.

"This ......"

Zhu Hai was a little stunned, and he realized that these people had really surrendered.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Su really conquered the land in a short period of time, and even the hearts of these two tribes have fallen?"

Smacking his lips, Zhu Hai ordered the guards on the left and right to untie those patriarchs.

But even so, he still had some doubts in his heart.

After all, in his opinion, it is not surprising that Zhao Hongrun can conquer the land in a short period of time, after all, when His Royal Highness King Su attacked the Chu State earlier, he also captured a city in a few days, and the results were impressive.

But the key is that in such a short period of time, he captured the hearts of the tribal chiefs of the cities and made them willingly submit to their Wei State, which really made Zhu Hai feel a little unbelievable.

"His Royal Highness King Su...... I don't know what order to give to my Chenggao army? Zhu Hai asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Halgoh bowed his body and replied respectfully: "That's the case, since the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qianjiao tribe are about to arrive in the land, the Shangshui army and the Dangshan army led by King Su are actively preparing for this big battle. …… King Su once told me that he did not have the authority to directly mobilize the Chenggao army, but if the general could help fight against the army of the Qianjiao tribe, he hoped that the general would lead the army to the land as soon as possible. ”

"......" Zhu Hai was stunned when he heard this, and he had a little trust in Halegoh in his heart.

Indeed, Zhao Hongrun was the commander of the "advance army", and the "advance army" refers to the Dangshan army and the Shangshui army, but does not include the Chenggao army stationed at Chenggao Pass, so Zhao Hongrun does not have the right to directly mobilize or order Zhu Hai.

And a few days ago, Zhao Hongrun hoped that Zhu Hai would send troops to attack Gongdi, but he only used the method and tone of "asking for help", in fact, Zhu Hai had the right to refuse.

"Since it is the will of His Royal Highness King Su, this general should obey it."

In line with the idea of "as long as you see His Royal Highness King Su, all the truth will be revealed", Zhu Hai nodded and agreed to the matter.

"Are you two with General Ben?" Zhu Hai asked.

"It's an honor." Halegoh and Meng Liang expressed their willingness to go with the Chenggao army, and then, Halegoh pointed to the other tribal chiefs in the Gongcheng area in the tent, and said to Zhu Hai: "If the general doesn't mind, I hope to bring these patriarchs with me, and they will also go to Luodi to swear an alliance." ”

"Oath?" Zhu Hai was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "What oath?" ”

Halegoh patted his head and explained with a smile: "I forgot to say that King Su intends to build the land into a 'free trade city', and invites all the Sanchuan tribes that are friendly with your country to join in and trade with your country...... The "alliance of the water" refers to the oath of "mutual respect and love", "mutual non-aggression", and "joint attack and defense" between your country and the tribes of the two tribes in the covenant. ”

Zhu Hai was moved when he heard this, you must know that when he was stationed in Chenggao Pass, his greatest wish was to promote the harmony between Wei and the people of Sanchuan, but because of the obstruction of the Qian people, he has not been able to promote this matter.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Zhao Hongrun to set foot in Sanchuan, and he had already reached this matter.

"Not good...... Sima An......

At that moment, a figure appeared in Zhu Hai's mind, and immediately, his face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "In this case, without further ado, our army will immediately set off for the land and ask all the patriarchs to accompany him." ”

It's no wonder that Zhu Hai is so anxious, after all, in his impression, Sima An of the Dangshan Army will never sit idly by and watch Zhao Hongrun facilitate this matter, and will definitely make an obstacle like the people of the Qiang tribe and destroy the good things that His Royal Highness King Su has achieved with great difficulty.

He would never have imagined that the stubborn and paranoid 'Sima Butcher' in his impression had gradually been convinced by His Royal Highness King Su.

may be anxious, so that Gongdi is obviously dozens of miles away from Ruodi, but Zhu Hai and the Chenggao army under his command arrived in Ruocheng on the same day.

When he arrived at the outside of the city, Zhu Hai really found that the military flags of the Dangshan Army and the Shangshui Army were planted all over the city walls.

If you take a closer look, aren't the soldiers of the Dangshan Army patrolling back and forth on the city wall?

The armor of the Dangshan Army, Zhu Hai will never admit it.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Su has really conquered the city......

reported his identity under the city gate, and the Dangshan sergeant guarding the city gate opened the city gate and let the Chenggao army in.

Just as Zhu Hai would not mistake the armor of the Dangshan Army, how could the soldiers of the Dangshan Army mistake the armor of the Gao Army?

After all, the generals of their two armies are incompatible, and they have long become a big strange talk in the Wei government.

Leaving behind his soldiers and letting them find a place to camp on their own, Zhu Hai took Halegohe, Meng Liang and the rest of the Gongdi tribal patriarchs, under the guidance of the Dangshan soldiers along the way, and came to the felt tent where Zhao Hongrun lived.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun's felt tent was overcrowded, full of people who looked like people from Sanchuan, or maybe the local tribal patriarchs of Yucheng, and the two sides might be discussing something.

Zhu Hai didn't care so much, and after entering the tent, he hugged his fists and asked bluntly: "Your Royal Highness King Su, are you really subduing the tribe of the land and preparing to fight the 'alliance of the water'?" ”

"The general is so well-informed." Zhao Hongrun stood up, arched his hand towards Zhu Hai as a return salute, and then asked suspiciously: "Does General Zhu have any objections to this?" ”

"Objections?" Zhu Hai was stunned, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no,...... I always felt that the Sanchuan tribe was not as hateful as the people of the Qian tribe, and they also had a heart for my Great Wei, so this decision of His Royal Highness King Su was highly respected. Speaking of this, he changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "However, when Your Highness makes this decision, you must be careful that Sima An is in the way." …… Because of the identity of His Royal Highness King Su, this person may not go against His Royal Highness King Su's wishes in person, but he promises that he will definitely stir up trouble behind his back and sabotage this matter. ”

"Uh......" Zhao Hongrun's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he glanced at Sima An sitting in the tent a little helplessly, but found that the general's face was already as gloomy as ink.

And following Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Zhu Hai also saw Sima An sitting in the tent.

As soon as the eyes of the two generals touched, everyone in the tent seemed to feel that the atmosphere froze all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
