Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1054: Surrender

Nanle Town has the same name as Nanle County in Kaide Prefecture in the south. It is on the Yi Road, and merchants from the north and south are prosperous. Liu Yi stationed 3,000 soldiers here to serve as the southern gate of Daming Mansion. The famous minister Li Gen was specially sent to guard it. But after being stationed, they ignored it and asked where it played the role of the south gate.

Li Gen was originally a Langguan of the Song Dynasty. After being captured by the Jin soldiers, he was handed over to Liu Yu. In the past two years, Li Gen had just gained power and wanted to return to the south. He was wavering between Zhao Gou in the south and Wang Xiaolie in the north. The Wang family captured Zhao Gou. The situation was determined and they sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

Yue Zhaoqing led his troops to Nanle. He saw that the town in front of him had no city walls, but was built by soldiers who cut down trees. He smiled and said: "Don't the defenders of Nanle know that we have cannons? If we build a city wall like this, if the cannons pass by, they will be instantly turned into powder!"

Suddenly, Yue Zhaoqing saw a figure dodging on the city wall, and said angrily: "Who dares to attack me without eyesight? Just watch, I will go over with an arrow and kill him!"

Take the bow and arrow from your back, bend the bow and set the arrow. Just as he was about to shoot out, the figure disappeared.

Yue Zhaoqing waited there, not seeing anyone for a while, and sheathed the arrow bitterly. Said: "This guy has sharp eyes and can sneak away very fast!"

The army was ordered to form a complete circle around Nanle Town.

When they arrived at the commander's tent, Yue Zhaoqing said, "Kill a sheep and bring some good wine!"

Han Liang, the governor of the capital, said: "We are going to attack the city tomorrow, so it is best not to drink tonight. You are so drunk that you are seen below, how can you behave like this!"

Yue Zhaoqing said: "The governor wants to take care of me? After surrounding the enemy, why don't you fight or drink?"

Han Liang said: "You have to do some things. Check the garrison situation, see the mental outlook of the soldiers and whether they are full of fighting will. There are many things to do!"

Yue Zhaoqing had no choice but to say: "Captain, do the soldiers still need to patrol now? You are in good spirits! You are fine. You are fine after eating. What are you doing if you don't drink? Just take half a bottle and I will go to bed after drinking." .”

Han Liang thought for a while and said: "Just drink half a bottle, no more. The closer it is before the battle, the more sober the war commander will be!"

He brought half a bottle of wine over and placed it on the table so that Yue Zhaoqing could drink it as he pleased.

Liu Quan walked into the handsome tent, patting his chest and still feeling scared. Said: "It really scared me to death! I almost lost my life!"

Li Gen said: "If you don't go over and take a look, and you don't go out to fight, why are you so scared to death?"

Liu Quandao: "There is a general, who should be the commander of the Song army outside. Before I could see clearly from the top of the tower, he bent his bow and arrow and wanted to shoot at my face. If this arrow hit me, it would be a disaster. How to get it!"

Li Gen was startled and stood up in a hurry and said: "This control is so vicious! What should I do?"

Liu Quan said, "I was frightened by General Song, and I didn't know what to do. Didn't the prefect rely on Song Wan as the mastermind? Invite him to come in and discuss it together."

Li Gen quickly said: "Yes, yes, please invite Song Wan. He is usually full of wits and will definitely be able to find a solution."

After a while, Song Wan was invited into the commander's tent and saluted Li Gen.

Li Gen said: "Liu Quan, quickly explain to Song Wan what is going on so that he knows."

Liu Quan heard that Song Jun was coming and ran to the top of the tower to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the tower, he saw the Song army on the opposite side bending their bows and picking up arrows, intending to shoot at him. Not daring to look any further at the moment, he climbed down from the tower and escaped with his life.

Song Wandao: "This is bad! We didn't tell General Song in advance that we were going to surrender. They are coming with great force!"

Liu Quandao: "How did you get rid of General Song's fierceness? If you don't get rid of the fierceness, who would dare to see him?"

Song Wan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "If I don't go to see General Song now, what can I do? Let me think about how to go to see General Song." After a while, he said: "If you don't want to give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. I had no choice but to risk it all! When it got dark, I went out of the camp and went directly to see the Song Army. Fortunately, the Song Army didn't use swords and guns directly, so I went directly to see the Song General. If we can talk well with the Song General, everything will be fine! "

Liu Quandao: "I was frightened by General Song's bent bow and arrow, and I don't dare to see him anymore. General Song, please do everything."

Song Wandao: "If I want to see General Song, my identity alone is not enough. The prefect should give me a seal as a witness."

Li Gen is naturally willing to do anything. I immediately wrote a letter and used the prefect’s seal. He handed it to Song Wan and took the letter back. Said: "The seal used in this letter is my prefect's seal. If it falls into the hands of Puppet Qi, I will be dead! The letter is in your hands. After reading it to General Song, remember to burn it!"

Song Wandao: "What time is it now? The prefect is still so careful. Don't worry, after delivering the letter, I will watch him burn it!"

After hearing this, Li Gen handed the letter to Song Wan. He looked at the sky outside and said, "When it gets dark, leave the military camp immediately!"

Song Wan accepted the letter, responded, and went to prepare.

When it got dark, Liu Quan left the military camp. After thinking for a while in the dark, he secretly made up his mind and walked towards the Song Army sentry.

The Song Army's military camp was lit with large torches, and Song Wan's figure was illuminated from a distance. After letting go of several hidden sentry posts, he shouted loudly when he reached the open sentry post: "What are you doing?"

After hearing the question, Song Wan's heart dropped. He said loudly: "I am General Song Wan of the Qi Army. I have something to come to see General Song!"

The Song Army sentry confirmed that Song Wan was alone and released him. He said: "Since I have something to see the general, do you have any evidence?"

Song Wan took out Li Gen's letter and said, "This is a letter written by our magistrate himself. I want to give it to General Song."

The sentry took the letter and read it from side to side. Said: "Come with me."

The soldiers had just laid out the roasted lamb, cut some cold vegetables, and served them to Yue Zhaoqing and Han Liang. As soon as Yue Zhaoqing opened the wine, his own soldiers came to report. The sentry officer brought a Qi soldiers general to see Yue Zhaoqing.

Yue Zhaoqing was taken aback and said, "What will General Qi do at this time?"

He got up and went to the side of the handsome tent, and together with Han Liang, asked the sentry to bring General Qi in.

Song Wan entered the commander's tent and was a little scared when he saw Yue Zhaoqing. He hurriedly knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Song Wan, the last general, has met the general."

Yue Zhaoqing said: "Get up and speak. What is your status in the Qi army?"

Song Wan did not dare to stand up and said: "The last general is a close associate of the prefect Li Gen, and he has brought a message from the prefect."

Yue Zhaoqing said sarcastically: "If I come here at this time, could it be that your prefect wants to surrender?"

Song Wandao: "The general has seen thousands of miles away, and our magistrate really wants to surrender."

Yue Zhaoqing was startled and quickly paid attention. Said: "Please get up and speak quickly."

Yue Zhaoqing said "please" before Song Wan dared to get up from the ground. He took out Li Gen's letter and handed it over.
