After hearing the news, the noisy tent immediately fell silent. Even Meng Wuza, who had made the most noise, also shut his mouth. Everyone looked at Murong Kuaixing. Murong Kuaixing gritted his teeth and burst out.
Say two words: "Surrender!"
Things were not as difficult as they imagined. For Yang Guang, being able to force the Tuyuhun people to abandon their weapons and surrender was a greater sense of accomplishment than defeating them. After seeing the messenger sent by Murong Kuaxing to request surrender, Yang Guang immediately agreed.
The surrender ceremony was held in Jinshan. Tuyuhun's prime ministers, ministers, and generals, starting from the immortal king Murong Kuaixing, knelt on the ground. After Murong Fuyun became the leader of Tuyuhun, he also learned from the Han system and established the prime minister, ministers, generals, etc.
Various official positions are held by the leaders of various tribes. However, these leaders still stay in their own tribes most of the time and do not seriously serve as officials.
Yang Guang did not take responsibility for their sins of resisting the Sui Dynasty. Of course, including Murong Kuaxing's throne, they could not be their prime ministers, ministers, or generals, but they could still continue to be their tribal leaders.
In the eyes of these people, the position of the tribal leader was much more important than those official positions. Everyone was relieved, kowtowed, and shouted long live the mountain.
Although Murong Kuaxing could not become a prince, his life and that of the men, women, and children of the tribe were saved, so he was not too disappointed. He just thought that many young men and women in the camp were still hungry, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Start the memorial."
Your Majesty, since we have surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, we are the subjects of the Sui Dynasty. Now the army is short of food, I hope your Majesty will have mercy on you."
Yang Guang was determined to behave like a benevolent king in front of the foreigners. He waved his hand and said, "Pass an order to allocate 100,000 shi of food to them. Each of the leaders of the tribes will be given 100 bolts of silk."
All the leaders were overjoyed and thanked him one after another.
But I heard Yang Guang say again: "Liang Mo, the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, and Li Qiong, the general of You Yiwei!"
I saw Yi Wen and Yi Wu coming out of the crowd, crossing their hands and saying: "The general is here!"
Yang Guang nodded and said: "I order you two to lead 10,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard, march directly to Fuqi City, and capture Murong Fuyun!"
The second general took the order and left. This time, however, his troops were very fast. Two days later, they entered Fuqi City, but to their surprise, Fuqi City was undefended. It turned out that Murong Fuyun escaped from Chewozhen Mountain and did not return to Fuqi City at all.
He even abandoned his wife, concubines, and children, and headed west with only Jin Bo and dozens of cronies.
Liang Mo stroked his beard and said: "General Li, we are ordered by the emperor to capture Fuqi and capture Fuyun. Although Fuqi city is conquered now, Fuyun is still escaping, why not pursue him?"
Li Qiong almost took Fuqi City without a single blow. He was so proud that he did not take the Tuyuhun people seriously. He pointed his riding whip to the west and said, "What Mr. Liang said is true, and Li has exactly what he meant."
The two men led the troops and left Fuqi City and continued westward. Soon they arrived at the Bayingol River. The water of the Bayingol River had long since dried up, and both sides of the riverbed were covered with sand dunes.
The weather in the desert changed at any time. Li Qiong and Liang Mo's army was marching on the riverbed. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and yellow sand was flying all over the sky. No one was seen on the other side. The three armies were suddenly in chaos. Then the sound of horns was heard again.
It seemed like countless soldiers and horses were coming to kill him.
However, Murong Fuyun did not go far, and gathered several nearby tribes to set up an ambush here. However, the Sui army was so powerful that Murong Fuyun did not dare to move lightly for a while. This sudden strong wind was God's help, and he had been in the desert for a long time.
The Tyuhun people who lived in the country were naturally more adaptable to such an environment than the Sui army. In a melee, the Sui army was defeated. Only 2,000 of the 10,000 elite soldiers fled back. Liang Mo and Li Qiong both died in the rebellion.
As soon as Yang Guang arrived at Fuqi City, he heard the news of the defeat of Liang Mo and Li Qiong. He was furious and ordered that they be deposed as common people and their family members as official slaves. He also ordered Yang Xuangan to come to protect his children and lead an army to pursue them.
Murong Fuyun. Without God's help this time, under the attack of two tiger generals, Murong Fuyun was defeated and fled, leaving only Jin Bo with him.
News of the Sui army's victory spread throughout the Western Regions. King Quboya of Gaochang and King Tutunshe of Yiwu came to see the emperor one after another and offered their lands. Tuoba Mumi, the king of Dangxiang who was hiding in the mountains, heard the news and came to
Come to Fuqi City to ask for a meeting.
Tuoba Mumi, the Dangxiang King, was granted the title of Dangxiang King by Murong Fuyun. He was still feeling uneasy when he called himself Dangxiang King. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but he caught up with Yang Guang and was in a good mood. At that time, he promised him to continue to be Dangxiang King and command the eight Dangxiang kings.
Department, for effectiveness.
In the blink of an eye, on February 28th, the battle of Tuyuhun, which lasted for half a month, officially ended. Although Murong Fuyun was still at large, Yang Guang could not keep his army in such a bitter cold place for a long time, and he would have to retreat soon.
Before the class, it was inevitable to reward the meritorious officials, and at the same time, the four counties of Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan and Qiemo were established.
…
As the war progressed smoothly, the pressure faced by Niling suddenly decreased. Liu Yu's troops who first occupied Niling no longer took on the task of guarding, and retreated to the back of the mountain to enjoy wine and meat every day and have nothing to do. These are Zhang Shou's
He had already understood the situation. Without these one hundred and ninety-nine people, this battle would never have been won so easily.
A bonfire was lit at the foot of the mountain. Liu Ziqiu, Liu Yu, Gui Haiqiu and others were drinking from large bowls around the bonfire and eating large pieces of meat. Captain Jiang Yu was also among them. He had been able to move freely because he was Zhang Shou.
As his immediate confidant, he still enjoyed the treatment of a wounded soldier and did not have to be on duty in the army, but he fought fiercely with Liu Ziqiu and the others.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Liu Ziqiu should take the lead in defending Niling.
"Come on, brother, let's go one by one!" Jiang Yu held up the pottery bowl swayingly, put his hand on Liu Ziqiu's shoulder and said, "General Zhang said that he will definitely ask the emperor for credit on your behalf. A school captain will definitely not be able to escape.
If it falls off and is done well, it won’t be a problem to become a general. Come, let’s serve Liu Langjiang a bowl together.”
Since escaping from death, Jiang Yu's temperament has changed drastically. He no longer cares about the difference in status, and has begun to become brothers with Liu Ziqiu, Liu Yu and others. However, he drank too much wine today and his tongue began to become knotted.
Liu Yu and Gui Haiqiu spent more time with Liu Ziqiu, and they admired him even more. They agreed in unison: "Yes, with Brother Liu's ability, being a general is more than enough!"
Liu Ziqiu had a worried look on his face. It was good to be a general. He had thousands of soldiers under his command, which was also very beneficial to his plans, but it was really hard to see Yang Guang's side.
When Jiang Yu saw Liu Ziqiu holding the bowl and not drinking, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You haven't become a general yet, but you are putting on airs in front of your brother? That's not okay, drink, drink quickly!"
Of course Liu Ziqiu couldn't tell them his worries. He raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl. Then he shook his head and said: "The world is unpredictable. Who knows what the emperor is thinking. We don't dare to speculate.
Holy Will. It doesn’t matter whether you are an official or not, as long as you can always be with your brothers, Liu will be satisfied.”
These words made everyone around the campfire excited. They all stood up, raised their wine bowls, and cheered loudly: "Well said! Let's do it!"
Suddenly, a soldier ran over, raised his hands and asked: "Who is Liu Ziqiu? General Zhang invites you!"
Jiang Yu said excitedly: "How is it? Jiang is right, the emperor's reward must have come down. Don't forget each other if you are rich or noble. Let's go!"
Everyone also congratulated in unison. It was a blessing, not a curse, but it was a curse that could not be avoided. Liu Ziqiu gritted his teeth, raised his fists at everyone, turned around and followed the soldier. Looking at his posture, it didn't look like he was going to receive a reward, he was clearly rushing to the execution ground.
Zhang Shou's tent is also at the foot of the mountain. It is not far away and can be reached in an instant.
When he arrived outside the tent, Liu Ziqiu hesitated for a moment, then crossed his hands and said, "General Qi, my subordinate Liu Ziqiu has been ordered to come!"
When the tent door was opened, a gray-haired veteran came out in person, it was Zhang Shou. Zhang Shou took Liu Ziqiu's hand and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, what a man! Come on, come on in and talk.
"
Liu Ziqiu's heart tightened. Could it be that Yang Guang really appointed him to be a general? But now that the matter had come to this, he could not tolerate any hesitation, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Zhang Shou into the big tent.
But Zhang Shou waved his hand and stepped back. The smile on his face suddenly faded. He shook his head and sighed: "Liu Ziqiu, I know that you retreated the enemy soldiers wisely and guarded the mud ridge. I'm afraid Jiang Yu also knows about you."
I’ve said it before. There are just some things that I really can’t do anything about..."
Hearing Zhang Shou's intention, Liu Ziqiu seemed to have failed to ask for a reward from Yang Guang. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, general, for taking the trouble. Everything I do is within my scope. Even if I don't get a reward, I have nothing to do with it."
Complain."
Zhang Shou couldn't believe it: "You really don't have any complaints?"
Liu Ziqiu said seriously: "I will never complain."
Zhang Shou saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, so he laughed, pointed to the cases opposite, and said: "Come, sit down, I will explain it to you in detail."
According to Liu Ziqiu's military exploits, it would not be an exaggeration to make him a general. However, Zhang Shou was cautious by nature, and the memorial he wrote only asked for the position of captain for him. Zhang Shou thought more carefully, because he was appointed as an ordinary soldier.
To be directly promoted to captain, he must have to thank you for his kindness. With Yang Guang's character, he will definitely be happy to see such a big man like Liu Ziqiu, and he will give him another reward when the time comes. He is also a general, and one of them was obtained by Zhang Shou for him.
, one was sealed by the emperor himself, which one is more important and which one is less important is clear at a glance.
However, Zhang Shou's memorial has been submitted for several days, but it has never been followed up. It was not until yesterday that the emperor established four counties including Xihai and rewarded them based on merit, and the decree was passed to the Niling camp. Niling blocked Tuyuhun.
The retreat route of the army is extremely crucial to the development of the war situation. With Yang Guang's intelligence, he naturally understood the reason and was not stingy with the rewards for the troops guarding Niling. Zhang Shou was promoted to General Youhou Wei, and Yu Wenjing was appointed governor of Xihai.
The rest of the generals were all rewarded, and Liu Yu was also made a captain, but Liu Ziqiu's name was not there. Like tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, he was given food and drink.
