Chapter 1376 1052. Newcomer surrender (Part 1)
Dali.
Xindingmen on the west side of Shicheng County.
The Xinding tribe is a small tribe and has not been included in the thirty-seven tribes. In the tribe, there is only Xinding City, which seems a bit lonely.
Xinding City is surrounded by mountains, and its magnificence is far from comparable to a large city like Shicheng County.
Since Liu Zhuwen and others led their troops to capture Shicheng County a few days ago, they have only rested in Shicheng County for two days and continued to move towards Dali Imperial City. Now they are outside Xinding City.
Looking at the mottled earthen walls in Xinding City that were only a few meters high, Liu Zhuwen and others did not take it very seriously.
The broken city walls, no matter how you look at the dilapidated city gate, make the city look dull under the sunset.
Such a city cannot stop the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, although it was almost dusk, Liu Zhuwen and others did not intend to let the army camp outside. Taking the only Xinding City, there was more than enough to have three special forces in the army, including tigers, divine cauldrons and divine thunder.
The army slowly stopped more than a thousand meters outside the city.
Liu Zhuwen and others raised their telescopes to look at the city wall.
There is no tolerance for such earthen walls. Only many defenders of the Xinding tribe have exposed their heads on the earthen walls.
They are still using the most primitive methods to defend the city.
I think apart from bows, arrows, tinder, stones, etc., such tribes cannot even have thunder.
Liu Zhuwen smiled and looked at Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and the others beside him, and said, "Captain Miao, Commander Zhang, why not send our special forces to attack the city, and see which unit can take down the city lord's mansion in Xinding City first, how about it?"
He didn't say who broke the city first, because it didn't seem difficult in his opinion.
"OK!"
Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei both nodded.
They are both commanders of the imperial guards. Although they have a good relationship, they don’t mind competing with each other. They are even quite enthusiastic about this.
Because only with comparison can soldiers have motivation. Only with motivation can they make great progress.
This is like a military force in the army. A benign competition will promote each imperial guard.
Just when the three of them were about to send an order, the slightly thin wooden city gate was suddenly opened from the inside.
A burly general wearing a battle robe, a helmet, and a tasseled man with a burly squid, took the lead in walking out of it. He had a beard all over his face, big arms and round waist, but a smile on his face.
Behind him, there were many civil servants wearing official uniforms and five-liang Jinxian crowns following him out of the city gate.
Behind them were generals wearing armor. They only wore swords around their waists, but they did not hold weapons in their hands.
This surprised Liu Zhuwen and others.
The plan to send special forces to attack will naturally be given up.
As Wang Ziqian, who was on the expedition, also saw these people with a telescope. He gently drove his horse to the side of Liu Zhuwen and said, "Captain, this leader is the Lord of Xinding."
He was called the city lord, but he was naturally the leader of the Xinding tribe. His influence in Dali was far inferior to that of those large tribes, so he was not "signed to be the king".
Liu Zhuwen chuckled and said to Zhang Hongwei and Miao Cheng and the others: "Captain Zhang, Commander Miao, it seems that we will have some effect on breaking Shicheng County quickly."
The motive of the Xinding City Lord took these civil servants and generals out of the city was already very obvious.
Zhang Hongwei and Miao Cheng both chuckled.
Everyone didn't even take a photo and immediately went forward to meet him, just watching the Lord Xinding lead his command and slowly walk up.
It was not until they arrived in front of the army that Liu Zhuwen shook the prince.
The prince met, went to the front of the army, looked directly at the city lord Xinding and said, "Lord Du, it's been a long time since he was gone."
Xinding is a tribal name, so of course the city lord cannot have the surname Xinding. His surname is Du, and his name is Du Yongchang.
Although Wang Zigan did not lead the army in Shicheng County when he attacked Song, he had seen Du Yongchang when he was in the capital. Therefore, the two of them knew each other.
The moment Du Yongchang saw Prince Gan step forward, his eyes were already showing a slight surprise.
He had heard of the fact that Prince Gan had surrendered to Song, but he never thought that Prince Gan would follow the Song army to attack Dali in a blink of an eye.
This transformation is too fast.
Hearing the prince called him, his face slightly returned to normal. He bowed to the prince and said, "Marson Wang, it's been a long time since he was gone."
The prince waved his hand and said, "You are polite, but I haven't seen you for several months, so it's not a long time. Besides, Wang is no longer a marshal, but a general in charge of the Tianxian army of the Song Dynasty."
There was no embarrassment on his face.
He is not such a vulgar person.
I don’t feel sorry for anyone if I join Song.
The idea of "Song" has been hidden in his heart for many days.
Du Yongchang showed a slight look of surprise again, and then turned his head to look at the Song army.
Seeing him like this, Prince Gan chuckled and said, "Zhongcheng Lord Du led his people out of the city, but he wants to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"
Du Yongchang pondered, but finally bowed: "Du Yongchang hopes that the leader of the Song Dynasty will follow the orders of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Please recommend Liu Zhuwen and other commanders on his behalf."
He knew that Liu Zhuwen and others were in the army, and in fact he also saw Liu Zhuwen and others. Only Liu Zhuwen and others did not come out to see him, but he also understood what Liu Zhuwen and others meant.
Although I felt a little angry, I was more helpless.
The situation is weaker, and he has no choice at all now.
Liu Zhuwen and others were clearly close to each other, but they couldn't come out to see him. This was clearly intended to give him a warning and make him recognize the situation at this time.
This is when Du Yongchang came to ask the Song army to surrender, not the Song army to surrender.
Although it looks similar, there is actually a big gap between the two.
The Song army asked Du Yongchang to surrender, and Du Yongchang might have room for bargaining. And his request for the Song army to surrender means that he was completely begging the Song Dynasty.
He is not qualified to talk about any conditions.
Just now Du Yongchang said that asking the prince to recommend it was like he had already made a choice.
Nearly 30,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty came, and his mere New Ding tribe was not enough to see. He had no choice, and only by submitting unconditionally can the integrity of the New Ding tribe be kept.
"Shoulder."
Prince Gan Qing said two words lightly and returned to the army.
He went to Liu Zhuwen and said to Liu Zhuwen: "Chief, Du Yongchang plans to present the city to surrender."
Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the earthen walls on both sides of the city gate again before slapping the horse forward. Jian Shisi followed him.
When he arrived in front of Du Yongchang and others, Liu Zhuwen held his head and chest up, looking very imposing, and said, "I am the commander of the Tianxian Army of the Song Dynasty."
He didn't plan to be too polite to Du Yongchang and others.
To put it bluntly, people like Du Yongchang are just warlords in Dali. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are powerful robbers.
What these people are best at is bullying the weak. Being too polite to them will inevitably make them take themselves too seriously.
Liu Zhuwen didn't come out to see them before and gave them a warning. If you are too enthusiastic about them now, it would be almost the same unless you have a fever in your head.
But Liu Zhuwen is not polite, but Du Yongchang and others dare not.
Du Yongchang hurriedly bowed to Liu Zhuwen and said, "Du Yongchang of the Xinding tribe has met Liu Juncheng."
Everyone behind him was also busy saluting.
Liu Zhuwen's eyes swept across the Tucheng and said, "Since City Lord Du is planning to surrender, why is the city gate closed and there are so many soldiers on the dirt walls on both sides?"
"this……"
Du Yongchang's face looked a little embarrassed.
Liu Zhuwen was obviously asking questions knowingly.
Isn’t he worried that Liu Zhuwen and others would not accept his surrender?
At present, Liu Zhuwen clearly means that he completely gave up the idea of resisting.
Where can I choose Du Yongchang, just like him?
From the moment he told Prince Gan that he wanted to surrender, he had no initiative in this "game".
After a little silence, Du Yongchang looked back and said to the generals behind, "Let the soldiers abandon their weapons and leave the city."
The general hurried into the city.
Du Yongchang looked at Liu Zhuwen again, "Chief Liu, Du is willing to recruit Xinding City to the Song Dynasty, and ask Chief Liu to accept it."
He tried his best to show some enthusiasm in his eyes. He also felt that he should have done enough etiquette.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhuwen looked at him quietly and said slowly: "Lord Du is willing to lead the crowd to surrender to the Song Dynasty. I am naturally happy to see both sides of peace. I only have to say something but I have to say it to Lord Du first."
He bowed to Changsha: "I am a great plan and a general plan for the emperor. You should know that City Lord Du City Lord Du has no title of nobles, but in this Xinding territory, you are no different from a noble. If you join the Song Dynasty, you may have to make plans to give up the position of City Lord in advance. I wonder if City Lord Du has made up his mind?"
Du Yongchang's color suddenly changed.
