283 Conditions for Surrender
"Hey, hey, hey...... Even if you don't mention it, you'll have to go to Mawei City again. The Xia people thought that the mountains would become a barrier after winter, and this time the official wanted to teach them a new knowledge, so that they knew what a winter offensive was. From now on, there will be no more seasons in war, and the summer people on the other side of the mountain will have to live in fear regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Sometimes the officers will come from heavy rains, and sometimes they will come from blizzards. What they brought was not goods or wine, but death, endless fear......"
It's braggart time again, and Hong Tao likes to talk about the future with people who understand him more and more. Looking at their thoughtful, suddenly enlightened, and earnestly taught, they rushed to the middle and lower parts of their bodies with a sense of accomplishment.
"Poof...... Damn, the mutton at noon is not cooked, first of all, the official is going to pull the poop. "It's not a sense of accomplishment, it's a stench.
There are too few vegetables in Huangzhou in winter, and tea alone really can't meet the gastrointestinal needs, especially the Song people who are used to eating rice and noodles. Hong Tao gave up his share of fruits and vegetables to Lian'er, Ziju and Yiyi every day, they are still young, they are strong, and eating too much meat will cause nutritional imbalance.
"If you want to go on the expedition, you must follow, this is the master's advice!" The wasp didn't leave, but chased the stench into the backyard.
“…… This official promised you that you would not leave Mawei City for five miles at the farthest, right? If you hesitate for a while, the official is about to pull up his pants, why don't you come in with me and pull the poop, let's talk while pulling? ”
Even if the wasp doesn't mention Hong Tao, he doesn't plan to follow the special forces deep behind enemy lines, didn't the ancients say that a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Their advantage is this head, not a charge, and the enemies who die under this head must be a hundred times and a thousand times more than the enemies who die under their own swords.
The commander-in-chief of this expedition was Jiang Erlang and Jiang Dalang, and the son of the tribal leader was ordered to be the guide, and the destination was the nearest Xia border village to Mawei City, Renduoquan City.
Since the Song people captured Mawei City, the leader of the tribe couldn't sit still. He didn't calculate that the Song people would be so powerful, so he took Mawei City quietly.
What made him even more frightened was that not only the city had fallen, but even the hundreds of elite foot soldiers guarding the place had been completely wiped out. The problem is that he and his people have never found a large-scale Song army out of the pass, and if they want to deal with five or six hundred foot treks in the mountains, it is difficult to work without several times the number of troops, and it is even more impossible to completely annihilate them.
But the Song people turned the impossible into a possibility, not by his own guess, but by an injured Bubazi himself. This foot soldier risked his life and rolled down the cliff to avoid the pursuit of the Song army, and wanted to flee back to report to the military chief. After five or six days of starvation, he immediately escaped from the search range of the Song army, but he was caught by a group of bandits.
At this time, he had to reconsider the fate of his own people, and it was not a race, but a nickname he had when he was a child.
This family was originally the pro-army of the Western Xia Emperor, but he didn't expect to be almost killed overnight, if it wasn't for the fact that his daughter-in-law took leave half a month ago, it is estimated that he would have become dry bones at this time.
The killing between the royal family has always been the main theme of history, and he can't fight against his life, and he is not a royal family, but just loyal to the emperor, which can be regarded as a melon eater.
This melon is a bit big, and he and his wife's clansmen not only can't go back to Xia to live, but also have to face the pursuit of the Queen Mother's party. In desperation, he could only take everyone to hide in the mountains, grazing and being bandits at the same time, barely making ends meet.
People always have a goal in life, and the goal of the people is very small and simple, that is, they want to find a place where they will not be hunted down and killed. The grievances between the royal families are far away from them, and they don't want to take revenge, because they can't avenge this revenge on their own.
But such a small wish is still difficult to climb to the sky, and I dare not go to the north, as long as it is discovered, it is an endless pursuit, and it will not die. I didn't dare to go to the south, the Song people were relatively gentle, but that was also the right score, once the Song people knew that they were the personal guards of the Western Xia Emperor, the outcome was difficult to guarantee.
The appearance of Mawei City is a very big threat to the people of the Liming tribe, because this valley is the only passage for north-south and east-west traffic in the mountains, if it is occupied by the Xia people, the future activity space of the Liming people will be further compressed, and it is a question of whether they can survive.
This is also the main reason why he is willing to take the Song people to explore the way, from the bottom of his heart, he hopes that the Song and Xia people will fight here, and it is best to lose both sides to be in the best interests of the people of the Lili clan.
But the reality made the scalp a little numb, if the captives were telling the truth, those Song troops in leather clothes and white cloaks would be too terrible. The army that can make Bu Bazi tremble, how come he has never heard of it before.
Now it is pointless to inquire about the name of this army, where it comes from, and who the main general is, and it is necessary to make a choice immediately about how to get along with this army. If you make the wrong choice, you and your people will still be in danger at any time.
No matter how many people there are in an ethnic group, a nation, or a country, the fate of a group or a few people is often determined by the thought of one or a few people.
He first sent his son to personally send the Bubazi captive to Mawei City, and was lucky to meet Jiang Erlang, who had a relationship with each other.
Since it is an acquaintance, the following things are easy to handle, and the trustworthiness shown by Jiang Erlang at the beginning also reassured him a lot, and then he personally came forward to talk to Jiang Erlang about the conditions.
What are the conditions? He wanted to cooperate with Jiang Erlang, or to reach a non-aggression pact. The people of the tribe will not fight the idea of Mawei City and the logistics supply team, and please do not interfere with the lives of the people of Mawei City.
", I don't think you understand the current situation. Since my army can wipe out hundreds of paces and more than 2,000 captive army slaves, is it okay to deal with dozens of people? If you don't come, I'll come to you after I'm done with the city's business, and I'll come to you after the beginning of spring. From now on, there can only be one force in this mountain, Mawei City, this is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, without the emperor's order, as a general of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't reach any agreement with any ethnic group. "Jiang Erlang and Master Shuai Si are not good at all, and they have made great progress in how to fool people.
“…… My people and I don't want to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, but we won't let anyone slaughter them! After listening to Jiang Erlang's words, the little hope that remained was dashed, but he didn't want to flee yet, because there was nowhere to escape.
"Don't be busy, I'm not done yet. If you and your people are willing to swear allegiance to the Great Song and join my army, then I must protect you. In fact, most of my army are Zang people, and there are Qiang people, if you don't believe me, you can talk to them. I'll give you a day to walk around the city at will, and tomorrow when the sun goes overhead, it's up to you to choose whether you're a family or an enemy in the future. ”
At this time, Jiang Erlang somewhat understood why Lord Shuai Si was always so confident, and when his strength reached a certain level, he really didn't have to worry about the other party's tricks, any off-the-plate moves were useless.
Without waiting for noon the next day, he accepted his fate, this army was indeed different from other Great Song Dynasty armies, and it was indeed composed of Tibetan people. After seeing the equipment and food, he felt that he had found a good way out for his people.
His family is not afraid of fighting, who to fight with, if he does not have a certain ability, it is impossible to be selected by the Western Xia Emperor as a personal guard. If you can really be like these Tibetan people, dress well and eat well, and there is no oppression by the Song people, why not try it.
The most important thing is that there are two Xiqiang soldiers in it who said that their commander is very fair and can exchange military merits for land. They are just accumulating land, and when they have enough of it, they will find a satisfactory pasture to keep for themselves. As long as you don't go against the Great Song Dynasty, you can settle down on it.
"I can't make decisions about this, even if Shuai Si comes, I won't swear to you like this. If you want to be recognized, you always have to show some sincerity in exchange, do you have something that you can exchange? ”
Jiang Erlang had heard about the exchange of military merit for land, but he didn't know the details, and this was not something he should inquire about. Now that he is asking for his life, he must not push it on Shuaisi, so he can just bargain. The number of the blackmail tribe is small, and they will definitely not be able to come up with too many troops, so they will not have the capital to negotiate this deal.
