Fu Song

Chapter 448 Enemies, of course, can also become friends
A defection forced Dong Kui to make up his mind to abandon Weining City.

As the dead Dong Zhen said, food and grass are not a problem, ordnance is not a problem, but what about people's hearts?
More than a hundred soldiers of the Yixi tribe, which was first annexed by the Yiniang tribe, ran away.

They couldn't get close to the city gate, but in the dead of night, they hung a rope from a section of the city wall they were defending, slid down, and then defected to the Song army on the opposite side.

This operation directly made Dong Kui dumbfounded.

Even though his confidants still control the four city gates, Yixi Department has brought everyone a new possibility of operation.

had to go.

This time, the Yixi tribe just fled. Next time, if that tribe is eager to make contributions and colludes with the Song army outside, allowing the Song army to climb up the city wall from the area they are guarding, the city will be destroyed in a blink of an eye. .

Once the city is broken, everything will stop.

But it is not easy to go!

In the city, there are tens of thousands of family members in Yi Niang's family, so what should they do with so many men, women, old and young?
The cavalry of the Song Army were not vegetarians.

Not to mention the cavalry of the Sky Wolf Army itself, those bastards of the Sky Eagle Army are probably thinking of paving their future with Yi Niang's blood!
After deliberation, Dong Kuisi sent Dong Chun to negotiate with Wang Zhu.

Dong Chun is also a fateful guy. The battle started from the Jinsha village he was defending. But after the battle started, he realized that something was not right, so he hurried all the way and fled back to Weining without going to talk to Dong Chun. Zhen reunited, but came back with a life.

"Let you go?" Wang Zhu looked at the haggard and timid General Yi Niang with a smile on his face. "Why?"

Having said that, now Wang Zhu is notorious in the southwest, he is responsible for destroying Luo's ghost country, and he is in charge of killing Luo Piao, and now he is leading the army to approach Weining, so Wang Zhu of the big sword can stop in the southwest The child cried.

Not to mention that Dong Chun was a little scared, even the generals under Wang Zhu's command were usually quite afraid of this commander.

Dong Chun looked at the generals on the other side who were laughing loudly in the big tent. There were many familiar faces among them. A few years ago, everyone could still sit and drink together!

"The leader said that Yi Niang's tribe is indeed in a bad situation, but there are still thousands of brave sons in the city. If there is a fight, you may not be able to get much favors from you, General Wang. It's better for everyone to get together Good San, if you let us go, we will also give you a certain reward, as above, the two are cheaper!" Dong Chun said tremblingly.

Wang Zhu's expression was a little unpredictable, "What can Dong Kui give me in return?"

"There is food in the city that can feed tens of thousands of people a year, and we only took half of it." Dong Chundao: "We only took the ordnance from two of the five arsenals. In addition, we also prepared twenty for the general. Thousands of copper coins and no less than this number of jewels and jade articles."

"There are quite a few things!" Wang Zhu seemed a little moved.

Dong Chun immediately struck while the iron was hot: "General, our leaders have said that if the two sides go to war, even if we are defeated, we will never leave these things to the general. At the last moment, we will definitely burn them to pieces." Clean. We'd be better off doing a deal, don't you think?"

Wang Zhu laughed: "It's not impossible, but I have another request!"

"Please tell me, General!" Dong Chun was overjoyed.

"I will send people to follow you into the city. Firstly, it is to supervise the complete implementation of the conditions you just mentioned. In addition, Dong Kui is not allowed to force the tribes who do not want to leave. If they want to leave, we will not force them to leave. They stay. If you dare to violate this rule, we will turn our faces and be ruthless if we can't say it."

Dong Chun nodded and agreed without any hesitation: "Naturally there is no problem with this. We will not take them away if they don't want to go. If they are eccentric, staying with them is still a hidden danger. Don't you think so? I wonder if the general will follow me. ?”

Wang Zhu smiled, and looked at a general near the tent door: "Gaotang, you go."

Dong Chun and the general named Gao Tang beside the tent were both stunned.

There is no other, just because this general named Gaotang is the leader of Yixi tribe, who just defected from the city a few days ago.

Dong Chun's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.

But obviously, this candidate is not something he can change.

This is what Wang Zhu wanted.

Gao Tang entered the city, firstly, to let the people of other tribes in the city take a look at his current situation, secondly, Gao Tang, who had already offended Dong Kui to death, would definitely not let Dong Kui have any loopholes to exploit, and even Dong Kui had to Be careful in every possible way, this guy is making trouble out of nothing, looking for trouble for nothing.

It's really going to be a turnaround, the soldiers of Yi Niang's department may still have a way out, but those family members have no way out at all.

Three days later, the south gate was opened, and in the city, the main force of Yi Niang's tribe brought their family members out from the inner source and headed towards Liupanshui. Marching all the way under the nose.

This also made Dong Kui, who had been on guard all the time, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It's not that they didn't make the final preparations. If the Song army tore up the agreement, the companions hidden in the city would start a fire, and everyone would break up, and no one could expect to get any benefits.

"This battle is a bit strange and not smooth! I always feel that it is muddled." Yue Teng took off his blindfold, took a silk scarf, and gently wiped his sunken eye sockets.

As long as the weather changes, the eye sockets will be sore and astringent, and weep continuously, which makes him very annoyed, but no matter how good the doctor is, he can't solve this problem
"Who says it's not!" Wang Zhu scratched his head, "But this is Futai's arrangement."

"Before the battle started, Futai had expected today's situation?" Yue Teng's eyes widened: "How did he know that Dong Kui would run away instead of fighting us to the death?"

"This is the reason why Futai is Futai, and we can only serve as generals under his tent!" Wang Zhu said, spreading his hands.

"I still don't understand. You said that Dong Kui escaped to Liupanshui. This bastard still has thousands of soldiers under his command, and his subordinates are also hard-pressed. If you take this opportunity and don't swallow him in one go, in the future, wouldn't it be Is it more troublesome?" Yue Teng said puzzledly: "There is always a fight, why not take advantage of his illness to kill him, but let him have a chance to continue this breath?"

"Maybe it's because of the situation inside Dali!" Wang Zhu said: "I can't see through it, probably because of this. The inside of Dali is extremely chaotic, and it has reached the last moment. Wu Ke has already led people away. It is said that the last A spoonful of oil. As for the people Dong Kui took away, Futai probably still wants to incorporate them in the future!"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhu laughed: "Now your Skyhawk Army has nearly [-] people, and it will be full in a few days. A cavalry force of [-] people organized independently, we can They are all drooling with envy!"

"You're envious!" Yue Teng disdainfully said, "In the south, there are only a handful of battlefields where three thousand cavalry can have fun. The mountains and countless rivers cut the land into pieces, which is not conducive to large-scale cavalry at all. In combat, for a long time, my Skyhawk Army will most likely only exist as your strategic support. You really envy me, but we will have to wait until that day when we return to the Hebei battlefield!"

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

Be it Yue Teng or Wang Zhu, both were from the Hebei Frontier Army.

"One day, we will definitely go back!" Wang Zhu gritted his teeth.

"What would you do if you met Qin Min?" Yue Teng asked suddenly. "He is now in the Liao Kingdom, and he is very happy. Didn't Wu say that Qin Min has been given a surname by the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and is he called Yelumin now? The Queen's army under his command has expanded to more than [-]. Guarding Zhongjing, the unfinished Liao Kingdom, is the most powerful upstart in Liao Kingdom now!"

Wang Zhu stroked the blade at his waist, and said calmly: "From the moment he became the Liao army, my fate with him is over. When we meet again on the battlefield, we can only face each other with swords and soldiers. Even if we lose, we will fight to the death. come out."

"It's a pity that such a good man!" Yue Teng sighed, "Why did he become Yelumin?"

Wang Zhu didn't hate Qin Min at all, even though Qin Min had become Yelumin now, and even though several of his elder brothers had died at the hands of the Liao people, he didn't hate Qin Min.

It's just that if one day he meets the other party on the battlefield, he won't show mercy at all.

In the distance, Dong Kui's banner of the Yi Niang Department gradually faded away until there was no sign of it, and the Song army outside the city was also marching into the city in groups at this time. Correspondingly, those The small tribes of the Shimen tribe who were unwilling to follow Dong Kui were gathering in the city guard's mansion in fear one by one, waiting for Wang Zhu to send them off.

Dong Kui is still very trustworthy.

The promised things were indeed kept according to the number.

Of course, he can't do it if he doesn't stay. Even at this moment, if the Song army breaks the agreement and chases after him, he has no other choice.

But obviously, Wang Zhu didn't have any intention of chasing him down.

To appease the surviving tribes and the original people of Weining City, reward, comfort, and resettlement, by the time Wang Zhu got out of these trivial matters, another seven or eight days had passed.

Yue Teng's Skyhawk Army was finally full.

He selected nearly a thousand people from the tribes he defected to join the Skyhawk Army. Newcomers like Wu Jing would naturally be recruited, while Kuai Peng, who was older and himself If you don't want to hang out in the army anymore, then of course you can only go back to herding cattle and horses.

These small tribes of the Shimen tribe who have lived in Weining for more than three years, if they want to go back to their ancient land, they can go back. The local government will redesignate the area they used to live in, and turn around. They finally returned to the original point.

But compared to the panic when they came, they didn't go back empty-handed.

At least the Song Army gave them some food and some resettlement fees, especially those whose family members were selected into the Skyhawk Army, the income would be even richer.

When I came here three years ago, I was miserable.

After returning home after three years, I finally have some hope. At least, I don’t need to fight in the future, and I only need to concentrate on herding cattle and horses.

In the past few days, I have more or less communicated with these people from the Nanguang Department of the Mahu Department. Their good days have made these people from the Shimen Fan Department so envious that their eyes are red.I had to scold Dong Kui again in my heart, thinking back then, if I hadn't listened to Dong Kui's words and fled to Weining with him, I should have had my own share of such a good life!
With a sigh, I can only say that good luck tricks people.

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

Guiyang Mansion, Yamen of the appeasement envoy.

Luo Xin finished reading the good news from Weining, put the report on the table, but stared intently at the pacifier Xiao Cheng who was writing a pen.

Putting down the pen, Xiao Cheng looked at him with a smile: "Is there something wrong?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "I just don't understand why Futai didn't wipe out Dong Kui's army, but instead instructed Wang Zhu to let this army go away! Gao Yingxiang is our next big enemy."

Xiao Cheng had a half-smile, "An enemy? Not necessarily."

Luo's confidence jumped: "Futai, is it possible that Gao Yingxiang can join us? If not, wouldn't it be trouble for us to let him grow stronger?"

"Believe it!" Xiao Cheng said: "The enemy is not eternal, and as time goes by, the enemy can also become a friend. Our next goal is to win Dali, right?"

"Correct!"

"After taking down Dali, if we want to effectively rule him, what is the first thing we need to do?"

"Of course it is to destroy the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Duan family's rule of Dali!"

"But the Duan family has ruled Dali for countless years, and legitimacy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What can we do?"

"Isn't Mrs. Gao about to usurp the throne soon? Mrs. Duan was defeated by Mrs. Gao, and it has nothing to do with us. We are trying to put things right."

"Okay, so in Dali, is the Gao family the only power?"

When the questions and answers came to this point, Luo Xin was stunned.

"The Gao clan overthrew the Duan clan and usurped the throne, and other forces overthrew the Gao clan, and now Dali has entered a situation where several clans are competing for supremacy. No one can kill the other, and no one can do anything to the other!" Xiao Cheng looked at Looking at Luo Xin, he said, "Why can't Gao Yingxiang become our friend at this time?"

Luo Xin's heart felt cold, he probably understood what Xiao Cheng meant.

There is a high probability that among those big families in Dali who control one side and have the ability to influence the situation in Dali, few of them will survive this big incident.

The meaning of Futai's words is already very clear.

He needs a clean Dali.

No, Yunnan.

Cai went to the south.

Luo Xin looked up and saw the map hanging on the wall behind An Fu's body. On the Dali territory outlined with a red pen, the red word Yunnan was so eye-catching.

He stood up, crossed his hands and bowed respectfully to Xiao Cheng.

Uncle asked me to come to Xiao Cheng's side to be an assistant, but at first I didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that an old world like uncle has a vicious vision!

The appeasement envoy is a few years younger than himself, but the skill of governing the world is really not comparable to him.
