[Chapter 292 The Strategy of Surrendering]

“Your Highness, Xiliang soldiers are withdrawing!”

Feihu closed the city, and Chang Wei pointed in the direction of Xiliang camp.

Standing on the city wall, you can have a clear view of the situation in the mountain road through the telescope.

However, if you are on the mountain road, you can’t see the movement of Xiliang at all due to the narrow field of vision.

Therefore, the generals of the palace in the mountain road still did not notice anything.

Zhao Xu picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction Chang Wei pointed at.

The Xiliang camp was crowded with people, a large number of soldiers led horses, and camels headed west.

In front of the camp, there were only three or four thousand Xiliang soldiers standing firm.

It seemed to buy time for the Xiliang soldiers in the camp to retreat.

“Let them withdraw.” Zhao Xu said.

He delegated power to Chang Wei to direct the battle, not since then he has become a hands-off shopkeeper.

Just leave the battle to the generals to fight.

Important decisions are still for him to make.

Chang Wei instinctively wanted to order the soldiers in the mountain path to attack.

But if you look closely, you can see that the Xiliang soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

Obviously, they are ready to be chased, and once they are chased, they can adjust their formation at any time.

And the royal family’s army can’t take much advantage.

Thinking of this, he did not object to King Yan’s opinion, but nodded.

“Boom boom boom…” The

artillery fire continued.

After half an hour, most of the soldiers from Xiliang were more than ten miles away.

The Xiliang soldiers in charge of the rear of the palace suffered continuous casualties under the bombardment of artillery, and the defense seemed very chaotic and disorderly.

At this time, Chang Wei said something to the semaphore around him.

The semaphore immediately issued an order: “Charge!” A

moment later, a burst of shouting and killing sounded from the mountain road.

The royal army rushed to the Xiliang soldiers in the camp.

At this time, Xiliang soldiers were still in fear of being bombarded by artillery.

He raised his eyes and saw the soldiers of the palace coming, and they all fled.

Their goal was to be in the rear, and they knew they had no reinforcements. After holding on for such a long time, their morale was extremely low.

The Xiliang soldiers on the wooden platform fired a few stone bullets with firecrackers, and then ran away.

Some Xiliang soldiers even knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.

In less than half an hour, soldiers from the palace occupied the Xiliang camp.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei came down from the city wall and rode to the camp.

“Your Highness, look!” As soon as Zhao Xu arrived at the camp, Wei Qun angrily raised a Xiliang soldier in front of him like a chicken.

He kicked him to the ground with another leg.

Chang Wei followed Zhao Xu, his first reaction was to look at the soldier’s face.

After seeing the tattoo on it, he frowned.

“Your Highness, these soldiers are not Xiliang people, but Dasong people living in Xiliang.” Chang Wei said to Zhao Xu.

Wei Qun said harshly: “When we fought against Xiliang before, the imperial army always fought with them first, and finally they met the real Xiliang soldiers. By that time, the imperial army was basically exhausted, so they often fought Lose, they really worked hard when fighting against the imperial army!” As

if recalling the unspeakable past, Wei Qun kicked the Xiliang soldiers again.

“The people of Xiliang also named this army composed of Songmen from within the territory, called Mr. Zhuang.” Chang Wei said, “But when the war is good for Xiliang, they are indeed fierce, but when it is not good for Xiliang, they surrender It’s fast, it seems that the army left by the Xiliang soldiers in the rear is the army that hit the son.”

Zhao Xu got off his horse and looked at the tattoos on the Xiliang soldiers’ faces.

Seeing Zhao Xu’s gaze, Xiliang soldier lowered his head.

In Yanguan, he met Beidi slaves.

These soldiers are composed of the former Dasong people of Ning Jindusi.

Although their combat power is not as good as that of Beidi, the battle can also consume a lot of physical strength of one’s own soldiers and defensive resources such as arrows and stones.

Now they encountered such an army again.

“A bastard who has forgotten his ancestors and followed the Xiliang people to beat us, do you know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are?” Wei Qun scolded angrily.

His younger brother was killed by Xiliang’s bumper son on the battlefield.

From then on, he hated these Da Songmen of the Xiliang army very much.

Hearing Wei Qun’s scolding, the Xiliang soldier who had lowered his head suddenly laughed miserably.

Wei Qun was furious when he heard the words, and drew out his sword to kill the Xiliang soldier.

At this time Xiliang soldiers suddenly raised their heads and said angrily: “We are working for Xiliang, but you are not worthy of blaming us. An upright Songren.”

“They also resisted the Xiliang people, expecting the Dasong court to expel the Xiliang people, but what have you done in the past 150 years, not only failed to regain the homeland, but now Jinzhou I lost it too, what face do you have to say it.”

Chang Wei and Wei Qun’s expression changed upon hearing this.

This is a scar in their hearts that they don’t want to uncover.

Xiliang soldiers are now tearing up this scar, and they are in pain and annoyed.

Liangzhou, south of Yinshan Mountain, and today’s Ningjindusi.

Since the founding of Dasong, these lands have been the land of Dasong.

But now, it is occupied by aliens.

And the comrades who lived there before have now become enemies fighting on the battlefield.

“Nonsense, this is not the reason for you to sacrifice your life for the people of Xiliang!” Wei Qun widened his eyes, and pulled out his sword with a “chuss”.

“Stop!” Zhao Xu shouted.

Chang Wei grabbed Wei Qun’s hand and prevented him from messing around.

“Ants live by stealth, let alone people. Moreover, what he said is not unreasonable. The family and country are weak, and it is only the people who suffer. They are just duckweed floating in the wind in troubled times. Some things can’t be left to them.” Zhao Xu said indifferently. Said.

In the wars of all dynasties, there were puppet troops like Zhuang Gongzi, Ergouzijun.

Not only domestically, but also abroad.

Not everyone has the courage to resist when someone holds a gun to their head to fight.

Although Wei Qun was still angry, he also understood the truth. He said, “But even so, do we have to be soft when we meet them?

”

Chang Wei and Wei Qun were stunned when they heard the words, not knowing what King Yan wanted to say.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu went to the side with them, and continued: “In the future, if you capture Gongzi’s army, those who are willing to surrender to Yanzhou will be accepted; Either kill them, or make them slaves to work as coolies in the mines.”

“Huh?” Chang Wei and Wei Qun almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

King Yan said that among the three, they only agreed with the last one.

Zhao Xu patiently explained, “This is a strategy. These Xiliang bumper sons are also divided into three different situations. One is that they are in Xiliang and their hearts are full of praise, but they are forced to go to the battlefield. , just to survive, and the third is to make Xiliang people agree with them, and thoroughly count those who have forgotten their ancestors. Naturally, such people must be treated harshly.”

Chang Wei and Wei Qun gradually came to their senses after hearing the words.

When they were fighting in Xiliang, the son Zhuang they captured did fall into these three situations.

“So, you treat the other two types of people the same as the third type of people, and you will push the first two types of people to Xiliang. Naturally, they will fight Da Song to the death.” Zhao Xu continued.

After a pause, he pondered: “However, preferential treatment of the first two types of people will shake their resolve, and when they fight with us again, they will not fight to the death. One is because they have feelings for Da Song, and it is because they will surrender if they surrender.” Get leniency.”

“As for those who take the money back, it will become our propaganda tool invisibly, making the people living in Xiliang more swayed. On the contrary, the people of Xiliang will definitely be very cruel to these people who go back with the money. , in contrast, it will make the Dasong people in Xiliang miss Dasong and hate Xiliang.”
