Shaowu is a monk of the Four Realms. He can use his magic power to spread his voice far away, and the people on the city wall can hear it. The Lord of Hongyuan City wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to speak, but found that his voice was inexplicably broken.
Hoarse, even if his voice was not hoarse, he would not have the strength to carry his voice so far and so clearly.
Hongyuan said dumbly to the captain of the guard: "I will speak, you will drink out..."
The captain of the personal guard followed Hong Yuan's instructions and shouted with a loud voice: "I am Hong Yuan, the lord of Feihong City. As the lord of a city, I come from the Xiangshi clan. I swear to be entrusted by the king to defend the city and resist the enemy."
Responsibility. Ba Jun raised a large army to invade the territory, how can the Lord of this city surrender without a fight?"
At this time, Huwa also stood up and said unhurriedly: "Lord Hongyuan, we meet again. Thank you for your hospitality back then! I still remember when the city defense army formation was converted into a rogue bandit to massacre the village.
, I and the Lingbao warriors led the crowd to kill him in Baixi Village. Later, the Lord of the City thanked me for a plate of gold.
I advise the city lord to use half of the plate of gold to compensate the victims, and the other half of the plate of gold to remain in your house for future use. I will come with Bajun today to collect the gold stored in your house to compensate the people.
Having suffered from the disaster of war, I also want to thank the city lord for his generous contribution on behalf of the people in the city!
Lord Hongyuan accepts the responsibility of the city lord and abides by the city's promise, which is admirable! But who are you defending the city for now? Xiang exhausted the unjust troops and the people of Bayuan suffered, but Bajun raised his troops to quell the chaos. Shaowu
Following the orthodoxy of the Ba Kingdom, quelling the rebellion of the clan, and promoting benevolence and righteousness, the city lord should not drive the people in the city to cause unnecessary casualties.
The Lord of the City donated money to support the people, and he was a righteous man! If you are worried that you will be implicated and convicted if you come from the Xiangshi clan, you don’t have to. The Xiangshi clan is also a descendant of Yan Zhao, and Ba Jun’s relatives, as long as you don’t follow
Even if you are poor and rebellious, you can still be favored and favored by your relatives in the country.
If the lord of the city insists on going his own way and resists stubbornly in the city, there is no need to attack the city with a large army. Bajun cannot bear to attack the city with a large army. The soldiers and people in the city may throw you off the tower to welcome the lord. Then the disaster of war will naturally be eliminated, and the people of Feihong City will celebrate together.
"
Huwa pointed out that Hong Yuan was born in the Xiangshi clan, and stated in front of all the people that he would not be implicated and convicted for this, which made Hong Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. If this sentence had been made by anyone else, he would have said it on other occasions.
What he said may not count, but it came from the mouth of the young gentleman, the young minister was present, and there were thousands of people as witnesses, so of course it is impossible to go back on it.
But Huwa's last words shocked the city lord into a cold sweat! He subconsciously took a few steps back. He looked to both sides and found that the military division and the engineering division were very close to him, one on the left and the other on the right.
If they really have any evil intentions, they might be able to throw themselves off the tower on the spot.
Hong Yuan was a little suspicious. The most trustworthy bodyguard around him should not betray, but there were so many people in the city, who really wanted to fight to the death? But the city lord was also experienced in official circles, and at this time, his brain changed.
He spoke very quickly, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Master Village Treasure, as the city lord, I give you an order to tie me up quickly, open the city gate and escort me outside the city, and surrender to Ba Jun!"
The village treasure was startled, and the guard captain shouted: "My lord!"
The engineer on the other side was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
The village treasure's expression was indescribably weird. He came over and said, "Sir, am I going to tie you up like this, then open the city gate and send you out?"
At this time, Hongyuan regained his majesty as the city lord, tried his best to hold out his chest and said: "Yes. I order you to do this for the sake of the people in the city. I can't bear to see them suffer the disaster of swordsmanship!"
The captain of the guard also had to say: "Sir, you are kind! But why don't you take the initiative to surrender the city?"
Hong Yuan glared at his most trusted confidant, but did not explain the mystery. He just ordered: "Don't stop me from my righteous move. Please cooperate with the Master of Military Affairs immediately and lead the guards and military formations to maintain order at the North Gate."
, don’t let the crowds crowd and disturb Bajun, and you should also prevent assassins in the crowd from taking the opportunity to attack Bajun.”
While the guard captain nodded, Hong Yuan turned to Cun Bao and said in a low voice: "Your brother Ling Bao has a good relationship with Mr. Xiao. You must tell him and ask him to explain to Ba Jun that it is me.
I proactively ordered you to kidnap the Lord of this city."
The village treasure reached out and touched his nose, tried his best to make a serious expression and nodded: "Of course, you will offend the Lord of the City!"
…
After Huwa said what he just said, he saw Hong Yuan take a few steps back and disappear on the tower. After a while, he saw the village treasure pushing Hong Yuan to the tower with his hands tied behind his back, shouting: "Ba Jun"
Don’t attack the city, and don’t panic among the elders of Feihong City. The Lord of Hongyuan City has been bound, and I will go out to greet Bajun.”
The process by which Shaowu's army captured Feihong City was a bit unbelievable. He put up a force-attack posture, but he only made a show of it and did not actually take action. He himself sat in a carriage and arrived outside the north gate with Huwa. Everyone said
After some words, Bingshi Cunbao opened the city gate, tied up Lord Hongyuan and came out, leading the defenders to surrender to the young minister.
At this time, the order in Feihong City was not disordered at all. The people were still standing on the city wall and watching in stunned silence. Most of them looked happy. After everyone reacted, they cheered again. Feihong City defenders formed
As well as Hong Yuan's personal guards, they maintained order at the north gate and did not allow the people to take the opportunity to rush out of the city. Only Cun Bao and Hong Yuan were the first to leave.
Everyone only saw the village treasure holding Lord Hongyuan, who had his hands tied behind his back, walking to the carriage and prostrating himself on the ground. The young gentleman got out of the car and helped the village treasure up, and patted the strong man on the shoulder, probably saying
A few words of praise. Young Master Ba Jun helped Hong Yuan up, untied his rope with his own hands, held his arm and said something, probably words of comfort.
The people's guesses were pretty good, but there was another conversation that they couldn't expect. The village treasure whispered: "My lord, Mr. Hongyuan, I personally ordered him to be kidnapped outside the city and surrendered."
The young master tried his best not to laugh, and nodded to Hongyuan with a gentle expression: "It's really difficult for you, and thank you for your hard work. Mr. Hongyuan, you are such a talent! ... Don't worry, Mr. Village Treasure and Mr. Xiao are both.
I heard it here, and of course I know your good intentions."
Hong Yuan unexpectedly came up with such a "wonderful plan". Ordinary people may not understand it, but everyone who knows it will probably know what is going on. He was supervising the battle on the tower a moment ago, and no conflict occurred, not even the personal guards.
He was not even disarmed and was kidnapped out of the city the next moment.
But by doing this, Hong Yuan also presented a great gift to Shaowu, because the focus of public attention was not on him, but on Ba Jun.
The army of young ministers did not move. They just drove to the outside of the city gate accompanied by Lord Peng Keng. The people in the city took the initiative to kidnap the city lord and surrender. In the eyes of thousands of people, this was simply a miracle! There were already people on Ba Yuan.
Many stories about Shaowu have been spread, but legends are just legends after all, and Shaowu has allowed countless people to see the "miracle" with their own eyes.
This was Shao Wu's own idea. He persuaded the generals not to stop him, and also discussed with Hu Wa to ride with him. This was because he fully understood the special situation of Feihong City, so he did this. If it were anyone else,
In a place like this, Shaowu would never dare to play like this! But the Lord of Hongyuan City cooperated like this, and the effect was even more perfect than expected.
When the young minister entered Feihong City surrounded by military formations, he was still riding with Huwa. The vanguard had already occupied the city lord's palace and arranged everything in advance. On the way from the north gate to the city lord's palace, the young minister accepted the cheers of all the people.
and worship, among the people along the way there may have been people arranged by Bashi Kingdom, and once someone does this, others will follow and imitate.
Afterwards, the young minister rewarded and appeased Hong Yuan. Although he was not allowed to continue to be the city lord, Hong Yuan originally enjoyed the title of seven nobles, but the young minister specially granted him the honor of eight nobles and was granted the title of "Master Fumin".
Official positions. Originally, there was no official position to support the people in the city walls of various countries. This was a temporary new position created by the minor affairs.
The Shaowu adopted Ruoshan's suggestion and issued corresponding decrees in the occupied Xiangshiguo city. How to count the fallen Xiangshiguo soldiers, determine their identity and the city where they came from, and provide compensation for the city where they were born.
The family members of the fallen soldiers are the responsibility of the Fumin Lord.
Although Hongyuan is the lord of Feihong City, he was sent from the national capital, and his fiefdom is not in Feihong City, but in Taihe City. The young minister also promised Hongyuan that as long as he fulfills his duties, he will be the leader of Bashi City in the future.
The national army captured Taihe City, and those fiefdoms were still his. Hongyuan thanked him on the spot, burst into tears with gratitude, and praised Shaowu as a wise king rarely seen in hundreds of years!
Hongyuan also said that all the products produced in his fiefdom in the past three years would be donated to the Bashi Kingdom for military supplies. The young minister praised the Lord Fumin again. Anyway, Taihe City has not been captured yet.
These are all empty words now, but Hong Yuan performed this scene really beautifully. No wonder Shaowu praised him as a talent when they first met!
Hong Yuan was not only acting, he also invested money himself. When the young gentleman was outside the city, he said that he came to collect the half plate of gold left in his house to appease the people in the country. Hong Yuan took out more than just
Half a plate, he used his own money to add a whole plate, which was used to enrich the warehouse in Feihong City, giving both him and Huwa a better reputation.
Huwa's reputation is already high enough and she doesn't need these things, but Hongyuan does! Being able to get involved with Mr. Xiao's affairs is what Hongyuan wants.
Feihong City is the largest city outside the capital of Xiangshi Kingdom. This scale does not refer to the population and property, but to the area under its jurisdiction. However, its population and property are also quite large. In the cities of Xiangshi Kingdom,
It can be ranked among the top five in Kuozhong. The Shaowu neither laid siege for a long time nor sent troops to attack. The gains after successfully occupying this city are huge.
Three-thirds of the ordnance in Feihong City's arsenal has been transported away by Xiangqiong some time ago, and half of the food in the warehouse has been transported away to supply the needs of the frontline army. If the war continues, it is expected that
Shiguo will also transport newly collected military training materials here, but now this place belongs to the Shaowei. (To be continued...)
