1415. Medog surrender
April is here.
Zhao Dongting led the Feilong Army to get closer and closer to Shikaiji's Shu army.
In Tubo, Liu Zhuwen led the soldiers of the Dali Military Region and finally rushed outside the city of Motuo.
Motuo stood against the mountain, and to the west was a towering mountain. Liu Zhuwen led a large army to camp about five miles south of Motuo City.
This is the grassland.
The sky is as blue as washing.
The snow-capped mountains seem to be right in front of you.
This is really a place where people can relax their souls.
In other words, most of the soldiers of the Dali Military Region came from the plateau, so they were somewhat resistant to such scenery.
After the army settled down, soldiers led their war horses to the outside of the camp to eat grass. Although they were in the army, the whole picture still seemed quite peaceful.
Until the red glow appeared in the sky, dozens of cavalry rushed towards the Dazhai from the direction of Motuo City.
The soldiers immediately waved their horses and whipped their whips, and they looked quite good at riding skills.
They were under the banner of a certain army in the Tubo Kingdom.
When he arrived outside the military camp, he was blocked by the Song Dynasty imperial guards outside the camp.
Dozens of horsemen were dismounted in a hurry. The leader was a civil servant, and his hairstyle and clothing were quite different from those of the Central Plains. They were colorful and colorful, with rich pictures and texts.
After dismounting, he posed quite lowly and bowed to the lieutenant general of the Imperial Army and said, "The Tubo foreign envoy Dala asked to see General Liu of Song State, and please pass on his behalf."
The imperial guards guarding the village gate looked at him a little, but they were not embarrassed. They just said that they would wait a moment, so they let the soldiers go in and report to Liu Zhuwen.
Soon, Liu Zhuwen's personal guards followed the soldiers out and said to Dara: "Master, please send someone in."
Please send in outside, which means that only let Dara go in alone.
Dala, who was quite dark, was slightly stunned, then nodded to the guards behind and followed the guards to the military camp.
After entering the village, he kept looking around. His eyes gradually became solemn, and there was a flash of strange light.
Although he came here as an envoy on this trip, he could not help but inquire about the facts of the Song army.
Now, just judging from the arrangements in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the Song army is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with.
Although the military camp did not place grenade launchers, sky cannons and other objects, the arrangement of tents and the mental outlook of the soldiers in the army were not comparable to their Tubo army.
Go outside Liu Zhuwen's tent.
The personal guard and Dara stopped almost at the same time.
The personal guard looked back at Dala, who had a somewhat complicated look, and said to the tent: "Master, the Tubo has arrived."
Liu Zhuwen's voice came from the tent, "Please come in."
"please!"
The guard stretched out his hand at Dara.
Dala made up her clothes and walked into the tent.
After entering the tent, Liu Zhuwen was sitting in the main seat with a big golden sword. On the left and right sides below were Gu Junying, Zhu Haiwang, Zhang Hongfan, Mengtuo and other generals.
Except for Zhu Haiwang, Wang Ziqian, Gu Junying and Mengtuo, they all came out of the army, and they all had a murderous aura that was restrained but not exerted.
Dara's eyes swept across the generals without any trace, and finally fell on Liu Zhuwen's face.
Immediately afterwards, he saluted at Liu Zhuwen and said, "Dala has met Marshal Liu."
Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, and did not let Dala sit down, and asked directly: "I wonder if Ambassador Dala came on behalf of Motuo City or Tubo?"
He had never heard of Dala before.
Dara replied, "Here is the one who comes to represent the city of Medog."
"Please sit."
When Liu Zhuwen heard what he said, his expression suddenly calmed down a lot, and even showed a little smile.
Dara walked to the side and sat down.
Liu Zhuwen's eyes moved with him. As soon as he sat down, he asked again: "I wonder what ambassador came to represent Motuo City. Are you trying to discuss with me?"
Dala said: "We Motuo are not just small cities and believe that we are not opponents of your army, so the city lord was sent down and wanted to ask the marshal to let Motuo City go."
If Dala had some idea of resisting before entering the village, she might have had some idea of resisting. But after seeing the arrangements inside the village, this idea had disappeared.
There are less than 10,000 soldiers in the entire Motuo City, so it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Liu Zhuwen smiled, "I don't want to meet with you, but if I want me to go around Motuo, I'm afraid I have to go out of the city and officially surrender."
He bowed to Dongfang, "I came to conquer Tubo by the emperor's order, and I must give an explanation to the emperor. What do the ambassador thinks?"
Dara was silent for a moment, sighed softly in her heart, nodding, "This is nature."
Of course he knew what Liu Zhuwen meant.
It is okay to let Motuo City go, but Motuo City needs to make its position clear.
Before Dala came to Dazhai, she had already discussed this matter with the Tubo officials in the city.
When the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty arrived, they actually had only two options: surrender and resistance. This was inevitable, and Liu Zhuwen's request was completely reasonable.
Liu Zhuwen's face looked even more gentle, "Was the ambassador agreed to the city of Motuo?"
Darastra said: "When will the general lead his army outside the city of Motuo? The officials in the whole city of Motuo will immediately leave the city to present a letter of surrender."
He agreed to be so straightforward, which surprised Liu Zhuwen, "I shouldn't ask questions, aren't you afraid of being criticized?"
Dara smiled bitterly, "At the time when the Yuan Dynasty was strong, the king was forced to submit to the Yuan Dynasty. Now the Song Dynasty is the most powerful. In order to protect the people in the city, we go out to beg for surrender. What kind of infamy can we bear?"
After saying that, he suddenly stared at Liu Zhuwen and said, "I don't know if the general led his army to destroy Tubo this time, or to make Tubo surrender?"
Liu Zhuwen said: "What about destruction? So what about surrendering?"
Dala stood up, his tone became a little tougher at this moment, and said, "If you come to destroy Tubo, then ask the marshal Benton Dala to have never come. The people of our Motuo City are all Tubo people, and they will never sit idly by and watch the country suffer from misfortune."
"The ambassador is also a bloody person."
Liu Zhuwen smiled and waved his hand, "Please rest assured, the emperor of our dynasty is kind-hearted and never wants to hurt the people. This trip was just to make Tubo surrender."
Dara asked again: "Then our country's lord..."
Liu Zhu said quietly: "That depends on whether the Yuan Dynasty officials stationed in your Tubo are willing to leave his life."
After Tubo surrendered, the Yuan Dynasty controlled the center of Tubo's power. It can be said that the life and death of the Tubo king was not actually in the hands of Liu Zhuwen.
Dara couldn't help but know this in her heart, but she was just lucky. After hearing this, she sighed softly and sat down slowly.
Not long after that, he left the village and led the guards back to Motuo City.
In fact, as a small city, Motuo City is not a lucky thing. At least they are not constrained by the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and at this time they can choose to surrender.
As for the few heavy cities in the Tubo territory such as the capital city, and Pibo, the officials in the city may not have such freedom.
At this time, several important cities in Tubo were all controlled by the Yuan Dynasty officials.
When Dala left, Gu Junying smiled and said to Liu Zhuwen: "Marson, Motuo City chose to surrender, which saves us a lot of trouble."
Liu Zhuwen shook his head gently, "They surrendered, as I expected. Otherwise, why would you think I would not attack the city by lightning and let you station here. The Yuan people did not take small cities like Motuo to heart, but in the future, those cities with heavy troops would not choose to surrender so easily."
Gu Junying laughed, "If they don't surrender, then just hit them."
"Reckless man."
Liu Zhuwen chuckled lightly and said two words in anger.
The next day alone, Liu Zhuwen led the soldiers of the Dali Military Region toward the Motuo City.
The army was everywhere outside the city of Motuo.
The ink-colored armor is enough to form a great deterrent force.
Of course, this doesn't matter anymore.
Dozens of officials in Motuo City left the city and brought surrender letters to the front of the army.
Liu Zhuwen personally signed the document of suing the demotion.
Later, he politely refused the invitation from the Lord of Motuo City to come to the city for a banquet, and straightforwardly led the army around Motuo and continued to head towards Bowo.
Even the Yuan Kingdom did not take a small city like Motuo to heart, so they would not take it too seriously.
The officials in Motuo City watched the Song Dynasty's imperial guards gradually leave, and went straight for a long time before returning to the city.
For the people in the city, they could choose to surrender. However, they could not do anything for the Tubo king. This was a shame for loyalty.
They inevitably feel guilty in their hearts.
