The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1414 Medog Surrenders
April is here.

Zhao Dongting led the Flying Dragon Army closer and closer to Shi Kaiji's Central Shu army.

In Tubo, Liu Zhuwen led the soldiers of the Dali Military Region and finally rushed outside the city of Medog.

Medog stands on the mountain, and on the west side is a towering mountain.And Liu Zhuwen led the army to camp about five miles south of Medog City.

Here is the grassland.

The sky was as blue as a wash.

The snow-capped mountains seem to be close at hand.

Here, it is really a place where people can relax their minds.

That is to say, most of the soldiers of the Dali Military Region are from the plateau, so they have some resistance to such scenery.

After the army set up camp, some soldiers led their horses to graze outside the village. Although it was in the army, the whole picture still looked quite peaceful.

Until the red glow appeared in the sky, dozens of riders galloped towards Dazhai from the direction of Medog City.

The soldiers on the horses were all waving their horses and whips, and it seemed that their riding skills were quite good.

They are under the banner of a certain regiment of the Tubo Kingdom.

When he went outside the army village, he was blocked by the imperial army of Song Dynasty outside the village.

Dozens of riders dismounted hastily.The leader is a man with the appearance of a civil servant, and his hairstyle and clothing are quite different from those of the Central Plains people.The flowers are green and the pictures are lush.

After he got off his horse, he put his posture quite low, cupped his hands to the lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, and said, "The Tubo envoy Dala asked to see General Liu of the Song Dynasty, and please pass it on for him."

The commander of the forbidden army guarding the gate of the village looked at him for a while, but he was not embarrassed. He just said to let him wait a while, and then let the soldiers go in to report to Liu Zhuwen.

Not long after, Liu Zhuwen's personal guard came out with the soldier and said to Dala: "Marshal, please come in."

Please let the emissary go in, which means that only Dara is allowed to go in alone.

Dara, who had a rather dark complexion, was slightly stunned, then nodded to the guards behind him, and followed the guards into the military camp.

After entering the village, he kept looking around.The expression in the eyes is gradually dignified, and there is a strange light flickering constantly.

Although he came here as an envoy on this trip, he had no intention of inquiring about the truth of the Song Army.

But now, judging from the layout of the Great Song Forbidden Army's stronghold, the Song Army may be really difficult to deal with.

Although there were no projectiles, sky cannons, etc. displayed in the army camp, the layout of the tents, and the mental outlook of those lieutenant soldiers were not comparable to those of the Tubo army.

Go outside Liu Zhuwen's handsome tent.

The personal guard and Dara stopped almost at the same time.

The personal guard looked back at Dala who had complicated eyes, and said to the inside of the tent, "Marshal, the Tubo envoy has arrived."

Liu Zhuwen's voice came from the tent, "Please come in."

"Please!"

The personal guard gave Dara his hand.

Dara straightened her robe and walked into the tent.

After entering the account, you can see Liu Zhuwen sitting on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword.On the left and right sides below are generals such as Gu Junying, Zhu Haiwang, Zhang Hongfan, and Meng Tuo.

Except for Zhu Haiwang and Wang Zigan, Gu Junying and Meng Tuo can be said to have been killed out of thousands of armies, and each of them has a restrained murderous aura.

Dala's eyes swept across the faces of the crowd without any trace, and finally landed on Liu Zhuwen's face.

In the next moment, he saluted Liu Zhuwen, "Dala has met Marshal Liu."

Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, and did not let Dala sit down, but asked directly: "I wonder if Ambassador Dala is here on behalf of Medog City, or on behalf of Tubo?"

He had never heard of Dara before.

Dala replied, "I'm here on behalf of Medog City."

"Please sit down."

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhuwen suddenly relaxed a lot, and even smiled a little.

Dara stepped aside and sat down.

Liu Zhuwen's eyes moved with him, and when he just sat down, he asked again: "I wonder if the ambassador came here on behalf of the city of Medog, and what did he want to discuss with me?"

Dala said: "We Medog is only a mere small city, and we think we are definitely not an opponent of your army, so the city lord sent me down, and wanted to ask the Marshal to let Medog City go."

If it is said that before entering the village, Dara may still have the idea of ​​resisting.But after seeing the layout in Dazhai, this idea has disappeared.

There are less than [-] soldiers in the entire city of Medog, so it is impossible to be the opponent of the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zhuwen smiled, "I don't want to meet with swords, but if I want to go around Medog, I'm afraid you have to go out of the city to formally surrender."

He cupped his hands towards Dongfang, "I was ordered by the emperor to conquer Tubo, so I have to explain to the emperor. What does the ambassador think?"

Dara was silent for a moment, sighed softly in his heart, nodded and said: "This is natural."

Of course he knew what Liu Zhuwen meant.

It is okay to let Medog City go, but Medog City needs to express its position.

Before Dala came to Dazhai, he had already discussed this matter with the Tubo officials in the city.

When the Imperial Army of Song Dynasty arrived, they actually had only two options: surrender and resistance.This is inevitable, and Liu Zhuwen's request is completely reasonable.

Liu Zhuwen's face became more gentle, "The ambassador agreed on behalf of Medog City?"

Dala saluted and said: "When the commander-in-chief leads the army outside the city of Medog, all the officials in the city of Medog will go out of the city immediately to present the letter of surrender."

He agreed so simply that Liu Zhuwen was a little surprised, "Forgive me for asking a question that I shouldn't have asked, aren't you afraid of being infamous?"

Dala smiled wryly, "Back when the Yuan Kingdom was strong, the lord of the country was forced to submit to the Yuan Kingdom. Now the Song Dynasty is the most powerful. We have to go out of the city to beg for surrender in order to protect the people in the city. What infamy can we bear?"

After all, he stared at Liu Zhuwen suddenly, and said, "I just don't know, is the commander-in-chief leading the army here this time to destroy Tubo, or to make Tubo a vassal?"

Liu Zhuwen said: "How about being destroyed? What about becoming a minister?"

Dala stood up, his tone was a bit tougher at this moment, and said: "If you come here to destroy Tubo, please Marshal to pretend that Dala has never been here before. The people of our city of Medog are all the people of Tubo, and we will never Sit back and watch the country die."

"The ambassador is also a bloody person."

Liu Zhuwen smiled and waved his hands, "Please don't worry, I have a kind heart towards the emperor, and I never want to hurt the people. This trip, this commander is only here to make Tubo a vassal."

Dala asked again: "Then the lord of my country..."

Liu Zhuwen said quietly: "That depends on whether those Yuan Dynasty officials stationed in your Tubo are willing to spare his life."

After the Yuan Dynasty became a vassal of Tubo, it controlled the power center of Tubo.It can be said that the life and death of the Tubo king is not actually in the hands of Liu Zhuwen.

Dara probably didn't know this in his heart, it was just a fluke.Hearing this, he sighed softly, and sat down slowly again.

Not long after that, he left Dazhai and returned to Medog City with his bodyguards.

In fact, as a small city, Medog City is not a fluke.At least they are not constrained by those officials of the Yuan Kingdom, at this time, they can still choose to surrender.

However, in the few important cities in Tubo, such as the capital Luoxie and Pibo, the officials in the cities may not have such freedom.

At this time, several important cities in Tubo territory can be said to be controlled by those Yuan Dynasty officials.

After Dala left, Gu Junying smiled and said to Liu Zhuwen: "Marshal, Medog City chose to surrender, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Liu Zhuwen shook his head lightly, "The commander expected them to surrender. Otherwise, why do you think why the commander didn't attack the city with lightning and let you station here. People in Yuan didn't take it seriously for a small city like Medog , but in the future, those cities that gather heavy troops may not choose to leave the city so easily and surrender."

Gu Junying chuckled, "If they don't surrender, then just beat them."

"Fool."

Liu Zhuwen chuckled, and spit out two words angrily.

On the next day alone, Liu Zhuwen led the soldiers of the Dali Military Region to Medog City.

The army spread all over the mountains and plains outside the city of Medog.

The uniform black armor is enough to form a great deterrent.

Of course, this is not important anymore.

Dozens of officials in Medog City went out of the city and brought the surrender letter to the army.

Liu Zhuwen signed the surrender document with his own hands.

Later, he declined the invitation of the Lord of Medog to invite him to a banquet in the city, and frankly led the army to bypass Medog and continue towards Bowo.

Even the Yuan Kingdom didn't take a small city like Medog seriously, and they certainly didn't take it too seriously.

All the officials in the city of Medog watched the imperial army of the Song Dynasty gradually leave, and it took a long time before they returned to the city.

For the people in the city, they can choose to surrender.However, they couldn't do anything for the Tubo king.This is a breach of loyalty.

In their hearts, it is inevitable that they feel a little guilty.
