1065. Go to another city
Luowu tribe of Weichu Prefecture in Dali.
Luowu City.
It's the sunset.
Only Dali's climate is quite dry, and even at this time, there is still not much water vapor in the air.
Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and others led their army to rest in Xinding City for two days before continuing westward. Now they are outside Luowu City.
As one of the 37 Dali tribes, the Luowu tribe is much stronger than the Xinding tribe.
Although this Luowu City is not a heroic city, it is not as shabby as Xinding City. The city walls are piled up with blue bricks, which are several meters high and are inestimable in thickness.
When Liu Zhuwen and others led their troops to stop more than a thousand meters outside Luowu City, they could see that there were many Luowu troops defenders on the top of the city.
Although their military uniforms are far less neat than those of the Dali Imperial Guards, there are no fewer people wearing armor.
Many flags with the word "Lowu" are swaying on the top of the city.
There are hundreds of catapults on both sides.
This surprised Zhang Hongwei, who was watching with a telescope, and "I didn't expect that such a power could be organized in Luowu City."
Liu Zhuwen chuckled, "The strength of Luo Wu's tribe is not comparable to that of Xinding tribe. It is not surprising that so many soldiers can be left to defend the city."
He also raised his telescope to look at the city, and continued to say, "When Feng Hebi was defeated in Hengshan Village, the army fled for dozens of miles. Although he suffered countless losses, he finally brought many defeated generals back to Dali. After we chased him, we did not see his army resisting us. I think Feng Hebi could not suppress the generals under his command, and those people all led their troops back."
However, he noticed that the armor of the Luowu tribe was still in tattered on the top of the city.
These people should have participated in the previous battle against Song.
At that time, Duan Qilin was the commander of Wang Ziqian, Qian Hebi and Chi Fenggu. Wang Ziqian only joined the Song Dynasty, and Chi Fenggu's army surrendered, Feng Hebi brought some military horses back.
After Liu Zhuwen finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something again. He looked at Wang Ziqian next to him and said, "General Wang Shen, it seems that the Weichu Mansion Army was led by you at the beginning?"
Wang Ziqian nodded, "That's it. Chen Guangbin, deputy general manager of the Weichu Mansion, brought 20,000 Weichu Mansion troops to serve my command."
"Then do you know the leader of Luo Wu's army that day?"
A little light flashed in Liu Zhuwen's eyes and asked again.
When Prince Qian heard the string sound, he knew the elegant meaning and couldn't help but chuckled, "Does the commander want me to go and persuade the general on the city to surrender?"
Liu Zhu smiled softly without saying anything, not saying anything.
He is not the kind of general who likes to fight hard and rush, and he is more willing to defeat others without fighting. In this regard, Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei are not as good as him.
Miao Cheng was old, but in order to take too long, his thinking was inevitably rigid, and he was not as smart as Liu Zhuwen.
Zhang Hongwei is calm and good at waiting for opportunities, but he is not used to fighting tough battles.
There was a reason why Zhao Dongting asked Liu Zhuwen to be the center of the three.
Prince Qian slapped his horse forward.
Sword Fourteen followed closely behind to guard.
In full view of everyone on the city, the two arrived at the city.
Prince Qian shouted at the top of the city: "I am Prince Qian, can Luo Wu be in the city?"
He actually saw King Luo Wu and just asked this on purpose.
King Luo Wu was wearing a Dali official robe and a hooked nose, looking quite cold.
He had never seen Prince Gan, and he had also heard the name Prince Gan.
A general hurriedly ran to him and whispered: "Chief, it's the prince who came."
This is the general who led the Luo Wu army soldiers to follow the prince to fight against the Song Dynasty.
But at that time, his status in the military was not too high, and he had not dealt with the prince too much with the head coach.
King Luo Wu's eyes were cold, and he nodded slightly, facing the city, "Prince, you are the head coach, but you surrender to the enemy to Song! How can you still face the city calling out?"
The prince was not angry, but said, "I am not here to call, but to show you the way."
King Luo Wu sneered, "Do you want me to join Song like you?"
Prince Gan said, "King Luo Wu, do you think your soldiers in the city can block the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty?"
King Luo Wu said: "My Luo Wu tribe is full of warriors who are not afraid of death. If you want to attack the city, come and try it."
When Prince Gan heard this, a little disdain flashed through his eyes.
If King Luo Wu had such great courage as he said, he would not have chosen to surrender to Dali at the beginning, and honestly transferred half of the defenders in the tribe to the Dali imperial guards, and would not have let the general lead the defenders to fight against the prince to the Song Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, he has become Duan Qilin's minions. What capital can he have to say that their Luo Wu tribe are all warriors who are not afraid of death?
If they were all warriors who were not afraid of death, they should have directly faced Duan Xingzhi's military battles.
The prince will never say these words.
He also knew what King Luo Wu was thinking in his heart.
It was just to keep his face and try to get the Song Dynasty to agree to him with some conditions. For example, let him continue to take charge of the Luowu tribe.
He needs to give this step to King Luo Wu. Otherwise, it may really make King Luo Wu difficult to get off the tiger and cause a situation of never ending.
Prince Gan looked at King Luo Wu and shouted again: "Zi Gan also heard that King Luo Wu is the most capable and good at fighting in Dali. But King Luo Wu doesn't think about the people in this city?"
King Luo Wu said: "They are all people of our Luo Wu tribe, so I should fight for my Luo Wu tribe! There is no need to say much about such nonsense."
Prince Gan smiled, "King Luo Wu is really brave, so Wang admires it! The current situation of the Dali king flees north, and the general situation is a foregone conclusion. Wang still hopes that King Luo Wu will make more considerations. Wang can guarantee that after breaking the city, he will not make any trouble for the generals in the city, and will not invade the people. He will just pass by the city and go to the capital."
Many people were slightly moved on the top of the city wall.
The eyes of Luo Wuwang, with the hooked nose, also narrowed slightly.
As Wang Zigan expected, in fact, he had no confidence to resist the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, nor did he have the courage to do so.
He made such a vow to defend the city to the death at the top of the city, really just wanted the Song army to agree with him some conditions.
Prince Gan just said that he would not make things difficult for the generals in the city, which of course made him moved.
But this has not met his expectations.
After pondering for a moment, King Luo Wu said again: "Are you really just borrowing the city?"
The prince nodded and said, "I really just borrowed the city to pass by. I just hope that King Luo Wu can provide us with some food and grass. In the future, the Song Dynasty will not forget the righteous actions of King Luo Wu."
King Luo Wu was silent.
Prince Gan waited for dozens of seconds, and then he beat Jian Shisi back to the army.
He knew that King Luo Wu must be making measurements in his heart.
"General Wang Shen."
As soon as he returned to the army, Liu Zhuwen smiled and said, "It seems that King Luo Wu still wants to continue to be the king of him, Luo Wu tribe. Why don't you promise him directly?"
Prince Gan said: "It is not harmful to the general to go back on his word, but if he promised him in front of the army, he would ruin the reputation of the Song Dynasty in the future."
Of course, he knew that after the army captured the capital of Dali, the emperor would not allow the leaders of Luo Wu and other tribes to continue to divide and rule.
After all, even emperors like Duan Xingzhi were finally attacking these tribes. And the current Emperor Song is much more ambitious than Duan Xingzhi.
Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, "No hurry. As long as we take over the capital of Dali first, we still have time to make these guys bow down and surrender."
He didn't take people like Luo Wu to heart too much.
The soldiers of Dali were defeated by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. What kind of waves can these tribes, which are far from the Dali royal family, have arisen?
In the past, even Duan Xingzhi could suppress these tribal leaders, but Liu Zhuwen did not think that the emperor would be unable to deal with them.
Time passes slowly.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty stood quietly outside the city, and the army was silent, but the murderous intent never diminished.
This is an army that has been tempered by hard training and flesh-and-blooded fighting, and should be the best in the world.
And after more than ten minutes, the gate of Luowu City finally slowly opened.
After all, King Luo Wu was moved by the ambiguous words made by the prince.
Although he didn't know whether the prince said that he promised him to continue to be the Luowu King, he couldn't ask him clearly in front of so many people.
This will make the soldiers on the front of the city and the people in the city feel that he is too selfish.
What he was able to rely on from beginning to end was only the soldiers and people of the Luowu tribe.
Resting to the next best is also his choice in his helplessness.
