Soon, Yun Zheng met Tashi, the messenger sent by Doilung Langri.
"Meet the prince..."
Zhaxi bowed to Yun Zheng with great fear and trepidation.
"No need to be polite!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, then looked at Zhaxi with a smile: "Are you here on behalf of Duilung Langri to discuss surrender with me?"
“Yes, yes…”
Zhaxi nodded repeatedly and forced a smile.
Is it really surrender?
Yun Zheng pondered in his heart, and then said with interest: "I am impatient and don't like to beat around the bush with others. Just tell me directly, what are the conditions for your surrender?"
Zhaxi looked at Yun Zheng cautiously, and then he spoke: "The general has only three conditions. First, please treat our soldiers well. Second, the general hopes that the prince will be generous with rewards and ask the court to confer the general the title of marquis. Third, the general urges the prince to put pressure on the leaders of the tribes to let them hand over the general's family to the prince..."
...
...
Listening to Zhaxi's conditions, Yun Zheng couldn't help but think secretly.
The first two conditions are simple.
As long as Duilung Namri led his troops to surrender and avoided a war, he would definitely treat the surrendered soldiers well.
As for being granted a title of nobility, this is also a very simple matter.
As long as Duilungnamri surrendered, he guaranteed that the court would confer the title of marquis on him.
If the third brother dares not to be conferred a title, he will make him unable to sleep or eat!
But this third condition sounds a bit ridiculous.
He asked the tribes in western Moxi for the person, and did the tribes in western Moxi hand him over?
Don’t the tribes in western Mo have any respect?
If the tribes in western Moxi refuse to hand over their troops, can he still lead his troops to attack them?
The purpose of the forced landing on Doilung Namri was to avoid war and minimize the number of casualties.
If we go to war with the tribes of western Mo just to help this birdman get his family back, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Go back and tell Duilong Langri that I agree to his first two conditions! But I really can't do the third condition! Also, tell him for me that I will only give him one day to consider. If he still doesn't surrender by this time tomorrow, I will launch an attack!"
"this……"
Zhaxi looked embarrassed.
"Okay, that's it!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand, "I just don't want to cause more casualties, not that I don't dare to attack! To be honest, at this moment, you are not qualified to negotiate with me!"
Faced with Yun Zheng's dominance, Zhaxi didn't dare to say much and could only bow and leave.
As soon as Zhaxi left, Jiayao couldn't help but ask Yunzheng: "Do you really think Duilonglangri will surrender?"
"Do you think he is pretending to surrender?" Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao with a smile.
“That’s about right!”
Jia Yao nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Why do you judge like that?"
Yun Zheng asked with interest.
"How do you say it?"
Jia Yao lowered her brows and pondered for a while, then opened her red lips and said, "I just feel that Duilong Langri surrendered too quickly! They still have tens of thousands of troops, many of them are elite! Duilong Langri surrendered without even thinking of fighting, it seems... a bit unreasonable..."
In her opinion, Duilunglangri is more than capable of giving it a try.
The current Duilunglangri has not reached the end of its rope.
As soon as their army arrived, Duilunglangri surrendered, and something felt wrong.
"Doilonglangri has no chance of fighting, right?"
Qin Qihu grinned and said, "His retreat has been cut off, and he has no food or supplies. What is he still fighting for?"
Without food supplies, everything you say is nonsense.
Just like the defenders of Gule City.
If they didn't surrender at the beginning, they would have to rely on the people of Turtleback City to rescue them.
But when they threw Kucha's head into Gul City and learned that the Turtle Back had been breached, the defenders' hopes were instantly shattered.
Tieju didn't want to surrender, but in the end he was hacked to death by those rebel soldiers, right?
If Duilunglangri doesn't surrender, he will sooner or later suffer the same fate as Tieju.
Besides, Yun Zheng sent the Blood-Clothed Army to appear behind enemy lines openly, wasn’t it to put pressure on the enemy and force them to surrender?
"Why is there no chance to fight?"
Jia Yao smiled bitterly, "Back then, we surrounded you with a large number of troops on the edge of the hill. Under that situation, didn't you not surrender, but killed us?"
Speaking of this, Jia Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That should be the closest time to catching Yun Zheng.
Unfortunately, under such desperate circumstances, Yun Zheng still managed to break through the siege and caused them huge losses.
It was also that battle that completely destroyed the confidence of many Beihuan generals.
Qin Qihu grinned when he heard this, "How can Duilong Langri compare with us?"
As he spoke, Qin Qihu winked at Yun Zheng again.
It seems to be saying: Look, Jiayao has such a deep grudge against you!
"Ahem, let's get down to business!"
Yun Zheng touched his nose and coughed twice, "I also think that Duilong Langri is pretending to surrender. He sent people to negotiate with us, most likely to delay time!"
"What can he do by delaying time?" Qin Qihu frowned, "Does he want to break through?"
“It’s possible!”
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "If he is really stalling for time, he is either trying to buy time to break out, or he is trying to buy some time to readjust his deployment!"
Qin Qihu: "It is understandable to readjust the deployment, but if he chooses to break out, where can he break out to?"
As soon as Qin Qihu asked this question, he felt a few glances rolled at him.
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with a smile, "Where do you think they can break out to?"
When asked back by Yun Zheng, Qin Qihu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If he was Duilung Langri, where could he break through in this situation?
Going forward or backward, it seems like nothing works.
So, there is only one direction left!
"Northern barbarians?"
Qin Qihu reacted and asked tentatively.
"Of course!"
Yun Zheng nodded, "At this time, the only way to survive is to break through to the northern barbarians."
If he were Duilunglangri, he would definitely choose to break through in that direction.
Seek a way to survive in desperate situations!
This is something that you don't have a choice about.
Jia Yao raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zheng, "We can take advantage of Duilong Langri's intention to deceive us, quietly march towards the northern barbarians, choose a place to hide, and ambush the enemy!"
"Um?"
Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao in surprise, "Why not completely block their escape route and then slowly force them to land?"
"Do you think this is the way to go?"
Jia Yao asked with a smile.
“It shouldn’t be.”
Yun Zheng smiled and shook his head.
"Isn't this the end?"
Jia Yao glared at Yun Zheng with slight annoyance.
"I say, what are you two talking about?"
Qin Qihu looked at the two of them in confusion.
Yun Zheng smiled and explained, "I thought Jia Yao wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible."
"I do want to!"
Jia Yao glared at Yun Zheng angrily, "Blocking their way and making it impossible for them to escape, of course we can force the enemy to surrender without losing a single soldier! But once the enemy gets angry, they may fight us to death. At that time, our losses will be even greater! In this case, it is better to choose an ambush!"
"I see!"
Qin Qihu suddenly realized and teased: "You two are really good at settling accounts. If you two have a child, then it will be..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Jia Yao was embarrassed and angry, and glared at Qin Qihu fiercely.
Qin Qihu disagreed and said with a strange smile: "That's right!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "We are not sure what choice Duilong Langri will make, so let's be prepared for both situations..."
