Xuan Tianhua appeared in front of Lu Yu in this way at this time, and Lu Yu was almost scared to death by him.
He thought he was drunk and dizzy! He thought he saw a ghost! But after rubbing his eyes and looking carefully, he realized that the man in white clothes with an immortal look in front of him was the legendary seventh prince of Dashun. Who else could it be?
Lu Yu was a little confused. He couldn't understand why the seventh prince was standing here, how he got into Bincheng, and how he got into the prefectural government?
Suddenly, he remembered that someone had just reported to him that Dashun had attacked the city. Could it be that they really did? No! He looked at Xuan Tianhua and asked in a daze, "I heard that you attacked the four city gates at the same time? But you clearly set up camp outside the East City Gate?"
Xuan Tianhua explained: "The camp is set up there, but the soldiers are not necessarily concentrated in one place."
The soldier who had come to report the Dashun attack on the city interrupted at this time: "Sir, they took the tunnel, and the people came out from the tunnel!"
Lu Yu was even more confused. "You have been camping for so many days without attacking the city. Could it be that you are digging tunnels?" Are all Dashun people rats? They dug holes too quickly. It has only been a few days, but they have dug four tunnels that can accommodate a large army. Is it possible? He looked at Xuan Tianhua and thought that unless this man was really a god, it would be impossible for him to dig all those tunnels. Of course, it was also possible that he drank too much and had hallucinations. All this was fake.
Lu Yu knocked his head against the table, silently praying to himself to wake up quickly, but when he looked up, he still saw Xuan Tianhua in white. He was slightly overwhelmed. He had just insulted the Seventh Prince with words, but now that he saw the real person, he felt that what he had just said was really stupid!
Bang! Bang!
The noise outside became louder, and Lu Yu subconsciously asked, "What's the noise?"
A fellow drinker who was also confused by the alcohol told him: "Sir, it's a big drum. They are beating the drum to wish you a happy birthday!" This man was completely unaware that the atmosphere in the banquet hall had suddenly changed. Under the influence of alcohol, he had reached a state of ecstasy.
But Lu Yu had already sobered up a bit. The man told him that it was a big drum, but how could he believe it! He looked at Xuan Tianhua, and a cold sweat fell on his forehead. Then he said with a trembling voice: "It's not a big drum, it's a thunder! It's the thunder of Dashun! You actually used thunder to blow up the city? Do you know how many people are in Bincheng? Is Dashun going to massacre the city? You will be punished by heaven for hurting innocent people like this!"
Xuan Tianhua shook his head and told him calmly: "You don't have to worry about the safety of the people. All the people in the city have been moved to one place. The few who have not left are also safe under our protection. Lord Lu, you should take care of yourself! It's your birthday today. Unfortunately, I didn't bring you a gift, but I want to ask you for something. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it. But since I'm here, there is no reason for me to go back empty-handed. Lord Lu, this Bin City is a gift from you to me! Don't worry, I don't mind this small gift."
Lu Yu was about to explode with anger. Such a big city was considered meager in the eyes of the Seventh Prince? Then what was rich? He wanted to stand up and fight. He couldn't just give up the city. He had to fight a battle. But he drank too much wine and couldn't use any strength. Before he could stand up, he stumbled and fell down again.
It wasn't just Lu Yu who was like this. Almost all the Sui soldiers in Bincheng tonight were like this. Especially those who were guarding the city. In addition to being drunk, they also found that their legs and feet were weak, so weak that they couldn't even walk. Finally, someone realized that something was wrong. The wine was mixed with something! But when they turned around to look for the wine delivery people dressed as the prefect's servants, they found that none of them could be found. So, they watched the Dashun soldiers crawl out of the tunnel like ghosts, directly into the city, and then opened the city gates to let in a large number of soldiers and horses behind them.
Some people who had drunk less tried to resist, but the Dashun soldiers did not fight with them. They threw bombs in deserted places, blowing up one after another. The bang bang explosions made the ground in Bincheng tremble. The soldiers who intended to resist were so scared that they dared not move forward and let the Dashun army break into the city and occupy Bincheng without a fight.
The Dashun army broke into the city without any effort, without hurting a single civilian, and even trapped the prefect in the banquet hall. This was a joke for the Dashun army, but a nightmare for the Sui army.
All the people gathered in the central square did not realize that something was wrong until the Dashun troops surrounded them. People were shocked, and their love for the territory of the Sui Dynasty suddenly surged up. A large number of people began to rush out and fight against the Dashun army with their fists and feet. Even children of five or six years old knew how to grab the arms of the soldiers and bite them hard with their mouths.
These soldiers had fought many battles with Xuan Tianming and conquered many enemy cities, but this was the first time they had seen such high loyalty from the people. They didn't know whether to fight or not, so they froze there for a while, gritting their teeth to endure the blows, but still didn't take a step back.
Later, when the people were tired of fighting, the women began to cry, accusing Dashun of being bandits who had occupied their homes. The accusations were tearful and heartbreaking. Some soldiers were even confused. Could it be that they were really wrong and were bandits who had occupied other people's homes?
This scene lasted for a long time until Xuan Tianhua rode his horse to the square. He looked at the people in the city, the women crying because of anger, the men rolling up their sleeves, and the children who didn't understand and just kept shouting... He had thought about comforting them and reasoning with them, but at this moment he suddenly felt tired.
What's the point of reasoning? Will the people understand what it means for the princes to fight for the throne? Will the people understand that the new emperor of Sui Dynasty will turn against Dashun? No! The people don't understand those things at all. They only know that their homes have been occupied and that the army standing in front of them is from Dashun. So they make trouble and they want to drive the Dashun people out again.
Well, since reasoning is useless, why not lay out the facts more directly for everyone to see. And all he can do is to save the lives of these people as much as possible, and the rest is up to the other party to choose.
Xuan Tianhua shook his head and spoke calmly, using his inner strength to say to the people in front of him: "Since Dashun has come, it has never thought of retreating. This king has gathered you here and ensured that you have no casualties. This is the utmost kindness. There is no right or wrong in this world. Since ancient times, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. This is what Zong Sui has to bear. And since you are Zong Sui people, you can only bear it together. This king will give you a choice today. If you want to continue to be Zong Sui people, I will let you leave the city. If you want to surrender to Dashun, then stay and continue to live the same life as before. No matter what you choose, this king must tell you a fact today. For Zong Sui, Dashun is the main country, and now Dashun is just recovering the foreign land. You are Zong Sui people, but Zong Sui belongs to Dashun."
He didn't want to say more. The war had already begun. Any words of righteousness would sound hypocritical to the other side. Xuan Tianhua told Qian Li: "Register all the people. For those who want to leave, send people to their residences to get valuables for them to take with them, and then let them out of the city. For those who don't want to leave, send them home and let them continue their previous lives."
The army's execution ability was very strong, and they immediately followed Xuan Tianhua's orders. As for the people of Zong Sui, even though they were extremely unwilling, they had no ability to resist under the powerful armed forces of Da Shun, so they had to follow Xuan Tianhua's instructions and make those two choices.
In the end, most of the people left, and a few stayed. Looking at the city that was mostly empty, Xuan Tianhua ordered the army to settle down and use this Bincheng as their temporary base. Those who were captured in the banquet hall of the prefectural government, including Lu Yu, were first detained, and the captured soldiers were also detained. Those who were willing to obey would be accepted in the future, and those who disobeyed would not matter. There were many bitter and cold places in Dashun, and they all needed labor. In the future, when they were sent there, someone would help tame them.
The news of the fall of Bincheng soon spread throughout the Sui Dynasty. Duanmu Anguo, who was still on the way, changed his plan immediately after hearing about it, and gave up Bincheng and went to Jiancheng. That was the second city of Sui Dynasty closest to Dashun. Since Bincheng was too late, his plan was to go to Jiancheng, which was the same.
After Xuan Tianhua occupied Bin City, the first thing he did was to close the four city gates and sent heavy troops to guard them. People did not question this, after all, this was something that all commanders had to do after attacking a city. But when all the deployments were completed, Xuan Tianhua said something that made everyone unbelievable, "When setting up defenses at the four city gates, the first person to guard against is the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming! All soldiers listen to my order. If the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming arrives at the city, no city gates are allowed to be opened for him. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"
The soldiers were confused. Why didn't they let the Ninth Prince in? They were guarding the wall not to protect Zong Sui, but to protect the Ninth Prince?
Qian Li could understand Xuan Tianhua's painstaking efforts. He knew that Xuan Tianhua had made up his mind to finish this battle for Xuan Tianming. Now that Bincheng had been captured, although there was no danger, it did not mean that everything would go smoothly in the future. It was just that he did not know when the so-called death hexagram would come true. This feeling was like a mine buried in the ground. He only knew that it would explode, but he did not know where to step on it. It was really tormenting.
Three days later in the afternoon, Xuan Tianming and Bai Ze finally arrived at the foot of Bin City. The two entered Fuzhou this morning. As soon as they entered the city, they heard the news that Bin City had been breached. They were really happy for a while. Now that they finally arrived at the foot of Bin City, Bai Ze pointed at the city gate and said, "Master, this city is ours! Look at the soldiers guarding the city above, they are all our brothers!" As he spoke, he waved at the top of the city wall: "Hey! Brothers! The Ninth Prince is here! Hurry up and open the city gate!"
Unexpectedly, the people on the top of the city wall looked down and replied: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please go back! This Bin City does not welcome you!"
