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, who were first annexed by the Yi Niang tribe, ran away.

They could not 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, ziplined down, and then defected to the Song army on the opposite side.

This operation made Dong Kui dumbfounded.

Even though his confidants still control the four city gates, Yi Xibu has brought everyone a new operational possibility.

Had to go.

This time the Yixi tribe just escaped. If that tribe is eager to make a contribution next time and colludes with the Song army outside, allowing the Song army to climb up the city wall from their defensive area, the city will be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

.

Once the city is destroyed, everything will stop.

But leaving is not an easy task!

In the city, what should we do with the tens of thousands of Yi Niang's family members and so many men, women, old and children?

The cavalry of the Song Army were not vegetarians.

Not to mention the cavalry of the Sirius Army itself, those bastards of the Sky Eagle Army are probably thinking of paving their future with the blood of the Yi Niang tribe!

Dong Kui thought about it and sent Dong Chun to negotiate with Wang Zhu.

Dong Chun was also very lucky. This war started from Jinsha Village where he was defending. However, after the war started, he realized that something was not going well, so he rushed all the way and fled back to Weining without going to follow Dong Chun.

Zhen met up and came back with his life.

"Let you go?" Wang Zhu looked at the haggard and timid General Yi Niangbu opposite him with a smile. "Why?"

Having said that, Wang Zhu is now notorious in the southwest. He had a share in destroying Luo's ghost country, and he was the leader in killing Luo Piao. Now he has led his army to attack Weining. The big sword Wang Zhu can stop in the southwest.

The child cried.

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

Dong Chun looked at the generals 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 the Yi Niang tribe is indeed in a bad situation now, but there are still thousands of men in the city who dare to fight. If we really want to fight, General Wang, you may not be able to get much benefit. It is better for everyone to get together.

Haosan, if you let us go, we will also give you a certain reward, as mentioned above, it’s an advantage for both parties!” Dong Chun said tremblingly.

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

"There is enough food in the city to feed tens of thousands of people for a year, but we only took away half of it." Dong Chun said: "We only picked up the ordnance from two of the five arsenals. In addition, we also prepared 20 pieces of food for the general."

Thousands of copper coins and no less than that amount of jewelry and jades.”

"There's quite a lot of stuff!" Wang Zhu seemed a little moved.

Dong Chun immediately struck while the iron was hot: "General, our leader 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 all.

It's clean. It would be more cost-effective for us to make a deal, don't you think?"

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

"General, please speak!" Dong Chun was overjoyed.

"I will send someone to follow you into the city. Firstly, they will supervise the complete implementation of the conditions you just mentioned. In addition, Dong Kui will not force the tribes who do not want to leave to leave. We will not force those who want to leave.

They stay. If you dare to violate this rule, then we will be ruthless at all costs."

Dong Chun nodded and agreed without any hesitation: "Of course there is no problem with this. If you don't want to leave, we won't take them away. If you stay with someone who is distraught, they will still be a hidden danger. Don't you think so? I wonder which 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 at the tent were both stunned.

There is no other reason, just because this general named Gao Tang is the leader of the Yixi tribe, and he just defected from the city a few days ago.

Dong Chun's face suddenly turned extremely unpleasant.

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

This is what Wang Zhu wants.

Gao Tang entered the city, firstly, to let other tribesmen in the city take a look at his current situation. Secondly, Gaotang, who had offended Dong Kui to death, would not let Dong Kui have any loopholes to exploit, and even Dong Kui had to

Be careful of this guy making trouble out of nothing and looking for trouble out of nothing.

If they are really going to fall out, the soldiers of Yi Niang tribe may still have a way to survive, but those family members will have no way to survive at all.

Three days later, the south gate was opened, and inside the city, the main force of Yi Niang's tribe came out one after another with their family members, heading towards Liupanshui. According to the long-term rule, the Song army did not make any interference and allowed them to move in their own way.

Marching all the way under my nose.

This also made Dong Kuibu, who had been vigilant, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not that they didn't make final preparations. If the Song army broke the agreement, their companions hiding in the city would light a fire. Everyone would break up and no one would get any benefit.

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

As long as the weather changes, his eye sockets will feel sore and astringent, and he will shed tears constantly, which makes him irritated, but no matter how good the doctor is, there is no way to solve this problem.

"Who says it's not the case!" Wang Zhu scratched his head, "But this is Futai's arrangement."

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

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

"I still can't figure it out. You said you let Dong Kui escape to Liupanshui. This bitch has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and his hands are also strong. If you don't swallow him up when you get this opportunity, wouldn't it be like this in the future?

Is it more trouble?" Yue Teng asked in confusion: "We always have to beat him, why not kill him while he is sick, but let him have a chance to breathe again?"

"Perhaps it's because of the situation inside Dali!" Wang Zhu said: "I can't see clearly, but it's probably because of this. The chaos inside Dali is extremely chaotic, and it has reached the last moment. Wu Ke has already led people to rush there. It is said that it is the last pour.

A scoop of oil. As for the people Dong Kui took away, Futai probably still wants to recruit them in the future!"

At this point, Wang Zhu laughed: "Now your Sky Eagle Army has nearly 2,000 people, and it will be fully staffed in a few days. We can independently organize a 3,000-person cavalry unit.

They are all drooling with envy!"

"You are so envious!" Yue Teng said disdainfully: "In the south, there are only a handful of battlefields where three thousand cavalry can have fun. High mountains and countless rivers cut the land into pieces, which is not conducive to large-scale cavalry at all.

In battle, for a long time, my Skyhawk Army will most likely only exist as your strategic support. If you really envy me, you will have to wait until that day when we return to the battlefield in Hebei!"

At this point, both of them fell silent.

Both Yue Teng and Wang Zhu were from Hebei frontier army.

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

"What would you do if you met Qin Min?" Yue Teng suddenly asked. "He is in Liao Kingdom now, but the spring breeze is proud. Didn't Wu say that Qin Min has been given a national surname by the Emperor of Liao Kingdom, and is now called Yelumin?

Are you here? The Queen's personal army and Shan's army have expanded to more than 30,000 troops, guarding the unfinished Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom. They are the most powerful upstarts in the Liao Kingdom now!"

Wang Zhu stroked the blade of the sword at his waist and said calmly: "From the moment he became an army member of the Liao Kingdom, our fate has been over. If we meet again on the battlefield, we can only fight each other with swords. Even if we are defeated, we will fight to the death."

come out."

"What a pity for such a good man!" Yue Teng sighed, "Why did he become Yelumin?"

Wang Zhu did not hate Qin Min at all. Although Qin Min had become Yelumin now, and although several of his brothers had died at the hands of the Liao people, he did not hate Qin Min.

It's just that if one day he encounters the opponent on the battlefield, he won't show any mercy.

In the distance, Dong Kui's flag of Yi Niang's tribe gradually faded away until no trace could be seen. The Song army outside the city was also marching into the city in groups at this time. Correspondingly, those

The small Shimen tribe who were unwilling to follow Dong Kui were gathering fearfully in the city guard's mansion one by one, waiting for Wang Zhu to punish them.

Dong Kui is still very trustworthy.

As expected, the things promised were kept according to the amount.

Of course, it wouldn't work if he didn't stay. Even at this moment, if the Song army broke the agreement and sent troops to pursue it, he would have no other choice.

But it was obvious that Wang Zhu had no intention of pursuing him.

After appeasing the remaining tribes and the original people of Weining City, giving rewards, providing compensation, and resettling them, by the time Wang Zhu got out of these trivial matters, another seven or eight days had passed.

Yue Teng's Sky Eagle Army is finally full.

He selected nearly a thousand more people from the tribes who had defected to join the Sky Eagle Army. New talents like Wu Jing were naturally recruited, while Kuai Peng was a bit older and he himself was

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 Shimen tribes who have lived in Weining for more than three years can go back to their ancient lands if they are willing to do so. The local government will reassign the area where they used to live to them. In a circle,

They finally returned to the starting point.

However, compared with the panic they felt when they came, they finally returned not empty-handed.

At least the Song Army gave them some food and some resettlement fees. Especially those who had family members selected into the Sky Eagle Army, their income would be even more generous.

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

When I returned home after three years, I finally had some hope. At least, I no longer had to fight, and I only had to concentrate on herding cattle and horses.
