Chapter 38: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (14)
Looking at Murhajita's serious appearance, Wen Bufan said with a smile: "I didn't think about this matter enough, since this is the case, then let Han Ziming stay here, and you don't have to be blushing when the time comes!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Murhajita said hurriedly.
Wen Bufan returned to his residence, looked at Isabel with the letter in his hand and said, "De Burzaha can't hold his breath. ”
"He's trying to negotiate terms with you?" Isabel said.
"Naturally, we have to talk about conditions." Wen Bufan opened the letter as he spoke.
After looking at it for a while, my face changed!
"What's wrong?" Isabel asked.
"This Debulzaha is also too self-righteous! Originally thought of giving him a step and making him surrender with dignity! It seems that it is not possible to teach him a lesson! Wen Bufan said.
"You were still talking about me, how about it?" Isabel said with a smile.
"You're right, you can't be soft on these guys. Han Ziming set off? Wen Bufan said.
"Hmmm! Looks like I'm happy when I set off! Isabel said.
"How can you be happy! That guy from Murhajita didn't want to stay here, so he told Han Ziming and Sui Shang what I said to him. Han Ziming's subordinates are all homeless, so they are naturally willing to stay here and be helped by the court to marry wives and have children. Wen Bufan said with a smile.
"No wonder I'm so happy." Isabel said: "It's just that where did these 60,000 or 70,000 people find so many women? ”
"The North and South Vietnam have been in war for many years, and there are naturally more women than men, I have asked Xiyue to send people to send all the women who are willing to come here, and when they come, let them live in the barracks and organize a few times, naturally there will be willing!" Wen Bufan said: "There are also those local women, I am ready to order that as long as the locals who are married to the soldiers of Donglai Kingdom, the mother's family will be exempted from taxes for three years." I asked Xiyue to tell her the same thing when I was looking for someone in the North and South Vietnamese, and all the families who came here to marry the soldiers would also be exempted from taxes for three years, and all the expenses of marriage would be borne by the imperial court! ”
"I guess there will be more people like this." Isabel said.
"Before that, Murhajita must be dealt with!" After Wen Bufan finished speaking, he called Murhajita and said: "You immediately lead the troops to attack Halileton City, remember that it is just a bluff, no need to attack!" ”
"Yes!" Murhajita led his troops and went.
Debulzaha was still waiting for Wen Bufan's reply, and did not feel that his request was excessive! He only asked to keep the northern part of the Beihu Kingdom, so that this land would still belong to him, and of course he would be a vassal to the Donglai Kingdom. But he didn't think about whether he would once again declare his independence from the rule of Donglai in the future, even according to his request. The answer is obvious, he will! So Wen Bufan will definitely not agree to his request! So Wen Bufan wanted to take action against Debulzaha, and in fact the operation had already begun.
One night, the soldiers of the entire barracks began to have crazy diarrhea! After a whole night, the seventy or eighty thousand troops were all exhausted and lying on the bed, with no combat effectiveness at all!
Debulzaha himself also had diarrhea and was weak. But he still gritted his teeth and ordered people to strengthen their vigilance. In case the enemy sneaks up! The stronger soldiers barely stood outside the camp to patrol, and before it was full light, they dimly saw a large army rushing towards them!
Although the food and grass in the small town of Basmian are limited, the town has abundant water, and there is a small river on both sides of the town, and when Debulzaha's army came here, they used the larger river to the west for military purposes, and all the inhabitants of the town rushed to the west to fetch water.
This gave the Donglai soldiers who were hidden in Daisy's own soldiers a chance. This soldier changed his disguise to the military of the Beihu State in advance, and Wen Bufan specially selected a dozen people from different prisoners of the Beihu army to escort Daisy to Basmian, so that these people did not know each other. Then he gave the soldier a vial of medicine concocted by Isabel, and if there was no avatar of Debulzaha within ten days, let him wait for the opportunity to pour the vial on the water source of Debulzaha's army!
So there was the scene of last night.
Han Ziming led the army to occupy the entire military camp without much effort, and cut down the resisting Beihu troops to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables. And this time it didn't let Debulzaha escape! Han Ziming originally wanted to slash this person! At that time, thinking about Wen Bufan's order, I still held back!
Let Debulzaha be quickly sent to Mudra Castle. He stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
It was too late for Mirto to get the news, from the time Murhajita came here, Mirto saw that Murhajita was making a feint, although he still had nearly 200,000 troops under his command, but Mirto was still worried about suffering the loss of the last time, so he did not venture into the city this time!
Knowing that he had received the news of Debulzaha's capture, Mirto realized that the army outside the city was indeed holding him back.
A few days later, Mirto received a letter from his brother, originally thought that this would be a letter of persuasion, but Deburzaha did not mention a word of persuasion in the letter, but only told Mirto that he would return to Gulee City with his wife and children, Wen Bufan had promised to take Gulee City as his fief, although Gul City is not as tall and prosperous as these castles here, but it is his homeland after all. To be able to return to my homeland is also content! There are the steppes that Debulzaha misses, herding horses, singing, drinking, eating meat, and that is the life I want.
Mirto couldn't tell from this farewell letter whether De Burzaha meant what he meant or anything else, but it seemed unnecessary for those in Donglai to force De Burzaha to write such a letter. However, after reading this letter, Mirto himself was a little confused, should he continue to fight against Donglaiguo? Or is it the same as the eldest brother, returning to the country of Donglai? Although he still has nearly 200,000 horses, but these horses are consuming food every day, all the reserves of this Halilton City have been robbed by the army of Donglai Kingdom, and there are more than a dozen small castles around him, if he doesn't fight, it's okay, once the war starts, it will be difficult to find enough food and grass for the 200,000 army for a while. Judging from the means of the Donglai Army to deal with the eldest brother, it is too unsophisticated! And what will they do with themselves? Mirto thought to himself.
At this time, Mirto got another piece of news that the castle owners of the five castles around the town of Basmien had surrendered to the kingdom of Donglai! Although the remaining castle owners have not yet returned to the kingdom of Donglai, they have not had contact with the city of Halileton for a long time!
