Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 114 Surrender

Wu Feng's words caused all the generals under his command to fall into contemplation. The big tent became extremely quiet. All the generals were thinking about what the commander said. There will be many battles with the Taiping Army in the future. Let's not talk about how much loss this forceful capture of Lulong will bring to our side. In this way, it will definitely have a great impact on the later stage of the war. All battles must end with fighting to the last moment, and the losses to one's own side will increase exponentially, which is unacceptable to the generals including everyone present here.

"Most of the soldiers of the Taiping Army are farmers and slaves who were deceived and fooled by the Taiping Cult. They are not natural fighters. Maybe they are a little dissatisfied with the empire, but as long as we guide and use them well, they should be able to To become our loyal subordinates, of course, we need to do a lot of work in the later stage. If we accept their surrender, then we can use this example to carry out all-round propaganda in future wars, and it will have many unexpected effects. We must also take this into consideration." Wu Feng saw that his subordinates were a little moved, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"But, my lord, do you think Jiang Bin's conditions are too much? Does he really think he can withstand our attack? He thinks too much of himself." Sha Lang said indignantly Dao said that after making many sacrifices, he had to accept the other party's surrender at this time. He was already full of anger, and he also made many unreasonable demands. How could this not make people angry.

"Yes, my lord, the three demands he made, except for the first one, are nothing. The second and third ones are purely unreasonable demands, which are too absurd. From the point of view of my subordinates, we should not accept his request." This kind of request." Song Tianxiong agreed, he was inclined to accept the opponent's surrender, but he agreed with other generals on this condition.

"Old Mu, what's your opinion?" Wufeng frowned slightly, asking Mulige for his opinion.

"Your Excellency has just said that the purpose and significance of this surrender is not only about Lulong's gain or loss, but also related to our future strategic policy. Now most of the northern part of the empire has been controlled by the Taiping Sect. We still have a long way to go, so it is necessary and necessary to accept the surrender of the other party, but the second point they proposed is that we unconditionally agree to leave those who are not willing to accept the surrender. I am afraid that this is debatable. Once teaching obsessives leave, it is very likely that they will go back to join the Taiping Sect, and we are very likely to encounter them again in future wars. The first thing is that we promise not to let them participate in the battle with the Taiping Army after they surrender. Such a request is simply unbelievable, so what is the sincerity of his surrender? What do they use to show that they are sincerely surrendering? Could it be that they are asking for a breath first? How about rebelling again after recovering?" Mulig's thinking was obviously much more far-reaching, he did not expressly object to accepting the other party's surrender, but he put forward his own views and doubts, and they were quite reasonable.

Wufeng was not surprised by Mulige's rhetorical question. Wufeng was prepared for this point, and immediately said: "I'm not too worried about these two points. Surrender, we don't have to force it, it's actually a good thing to let them go back, at least after going through these few days of brutal warfare, they also understand the strength of our army, and they may even exaggerate our strength after returning. , in future wars, it is a good thing to cast a psychological shadow of failure and fear on those chaotic troops who have never confronted us. If we go back on our word and imprison or execute them, it will only anger the other party. And it will also lose credibility, and it will only give people a handle. As for their request not to confront the Taiping Army after surrendering, I think this just proves their sincerity. If he asks to send the front line to fight Taiping If we are fighting against each other, I think we have to consider whether they are using a strategy of delaying the attack, waiting for their breath to recover and come back to bite us."

What Wu Feng said made all the generals nod their heads one after another, and even Mulige, who had always held an opposing attitude, had to admit that what the coach said was more reasonable.

"It's the first item he proposed. I feel a little doubtful. Only surrender me, Li Wufeng, and not the Tanghe Empire. What's so weird about it?" Such a strange request really made Wufeng very puzzled. Wufeng really didn't understand the joints.

"My lord, this subordinate knows a little about the reason." The young man who had been standing in the corner without answering a word stepped forward and saluted with fists.

"Oh? Linghu, you know? Then let's listen to it." Seeing Linghu Yi, who has just been the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wufeng nodded, motioning for the other party to explain.

"According to intelligence reports, Na Jiang Bin was originally a son of a middle-class family in Qinghe Mansion, but when he was about to grow up, his father had conflicts with a local prominent family due to business disputes, and he was involved in a lawsuit. He was an aristocrat, and spent money to bribe the government. Naturally, the lawsuit failed, and he became impoverished. His father drowned himself because he couldn't bear the blow of business failure, and his mother hanged herself to death. Jiang Bin killed the other party at night in a rage. Killed and set fire to the government office. Since then, he has been in the rivers and lakes, and was later absorbed by the Taiping Sect. Because of his talent and the support of the lower-level soldiers, he gradually became a senior official of the Taiping Sect. He already hated the imperial government. Bone marrow, once swore a poisonous oath, would rather die in battle than surrender to the empire."

"So that's how it is." Wufeng and a group of generals suddenly realized that Sha Lang, who had always been a little bit unequal in his heart, even vaguely felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"Hehe, it's just that although it's not a serious problem, Situ Yutang and Mi Feng can't let it know, so as not to cause troubles out of thin air."

Everyone in the tent nodded and smiled knowingly to express their understanding. Right now, the scalp of the boss is numb. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Princess has ignored the danger of the military fatigue, she insisted on going to the front line of the army to understand the progress, no matter what the commander did. Dissuasion, but also failed to dispel the other party's eager desire, Wufeng had no choice but to reluctantly agree, such as accepting the other party's surrender and letting the seventeenth princess know about the content of accepting the other party's surrender and surrendering the empire, I am afraid that it will immediately cause an uproar , Maybe there is still a hint of guilt in Xie's heart, Wufeng really doesn't want to make trouble with the other party over these details, so he can only hide if he can, and hide it if he can.

"What's going on? Where did your Master Li go?" Looking at the camp that stretches for several miles, although it looks heavily guarded, it doesn't have the slightest sign of a war. It was in full swing and extremely intense, but why did I see such a situation? Situ Yutang looked puzzled and questioned Song Tianxiong, the head of the Guards Division who came out of the camp gate in surprise.

"Returning to Your Highness, the Lulong Taiping Rebellion Army has already announced its surrender yesterday under the inspiration of Lord Jiedushi. Early this morning, Lord Li has led the second and third divisions and the Lulong Guard Division into Lulong City to accept the surrender. I went to take over the defense, because I know that His Highness the Princess is coming today, so I specially ordered the humble officer to meet His Highness here." Song Tianxiong answered the other party cautiously with a face full of obedience. Mr. Li didn't want to see the other party at this time, he might have hid away in the name of inspecting military affairs, but he left this hot potato for himself, seeing the other party's expression was not hesitant, I'm afraid this job is really difficult to hand over.

"What? Lu Long has recovered?" Situ Yutang was both surprised and delighted. What surprised him was that Li Wufeng's Northwest Army really lived up to its reputation. It took Lu Long back in just a few days. The disaster was more serious than Lin Lang's family; the joy was that Lu Long was finally recovered, and it was not in vain that I had spent more than a year in the northwest and suffered a lot of painstaking efforts. One confession, but there seems to be something hidden in Lu Long's recovery, why the Taiping rebellious party who has been rebellious all the time surrendered, and how will that guy deal with these surrendered rebellious parties? These chaotic thoughts suddenly filled the girl's mind, no, it should be called a young woman's mind, making her eager to see each other right away, so as to understand clearly.

"Return to Your Royal Highness, because time is urgent, my lord just negotiated the terms of surrender with the other party last night, so I went to the city early this morning, and it is estimated that it is still receiving it. It is said that Yasuhara in the east has discovered the Taiping Rebellion Reinforcement troops~IndoMTL.com~Maybe your lord has already gone to the front line." Song Tianxiong answered the other party's question cautiously, fearing that the other party would ask to see Lord Jiedushi immediately.

"Really?" Situ Yutang hovered suspiciously at Song Tianxiong, "Since the Lulong Rebel Army has already surrendered, why didn't your Master Li immediately march east? The Longdong Rebel Army was rampant for a while, and now The Heshuo rebellious army is fighting a desperate duel with the imperial army, doesn't your Lord Li want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Knowing that Song Tianxiong, the head of the Guards Division, was Li Wufeng's confidant, Situ Yutang questioned aggressively without any scruples or leeway in his words.

"Princess, you are serious. Lu Long's Taiping army only submitted the letter of surrender yesterday. Even if Master Li is a reincarnated god, it is impossible to handle these matters in one day." Song Tianxiong explained while feel wrong.

"Enough, Mr. Song, I don't want to listen to your explanation anymore. I just want to see Li Wufeng as soon as possible. I hope you will lead this princess to find him immediately." Situ Yutang's face became more and more ugly. It's really disappointing to go down to Lulong City but not move forward. Hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing down on this border and doing nothing, and I still think that the other party has the ambition to serve the country.

In fact, Situ Yutang really misunderstood Li Wufeng this time, and Li Wufeng was very busy at this time. Although he accepted the opponent's surrender, there are already many things that need to be handled properly at this time, especially in the arrangement of these surrendered troops. Wufeng really doesn't trust anyone. All of them paid a considerable price, and the hatred formed by blood and fire cannot be resolved in a day or two, so Wufeng had to leave other affairs and solve this difficult problem first.
