The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 908 Song Ruili Surrenders
The army was mighty and mighty, stretching for more than ten miles from the city to the west.

Chi Fenggu is not stupid, he knows that the army is carrying so many things, it is impossible to march faster than the Song army.

He left [-] Dali troops behind Ximen Duan in Hengshan Village.

And the [-] Dali Army was exactly the [-] Xiushan Army led by Song Ruili.

He and Chi Fenggu came out of Guigu Academy together, and have a friendship from the same school.Apart from the imperial guards under Chi Fenggu's command, Song Ruili is the one who is most likely to be able to command them.

And the imperial army under his command suffered heavy losses, and it is also the root of Duan Qilin, so it is impossible to stay here.

Chi Fenggu couldn't bear that kind of guilt.

Fortunately for Chi Fenggu, Song Ruili agreed to his request even though he knew that breaking up would mean death after he realized it with affection and moved it with reason.

As everyone knows, at this moment, Song Ruili with huge earlobes is watching the army go away at the gate of the city, but his expression is also profound.

He is not as outstanding as Chi Fenggu and Wang Ziqian in Guigu Academy. Before Duan Qilin ascended the throne, he was sent to Xiushan County.

At the beginning, he should have thought about making contributions and making a name for himself.Even when Zhang Jue attacked the South Military Region, he led the army to resist.

Only that time, when the army was about to be defeated, Zhao Liangcai, the governor of Xiushan County, hurriedly handed over the command of the army to him, and went down to the city to arrange his family and belongings.

This time, unexpectedly, it was he who got the last job again.

If it is said that Song Ruili has no complaints in his heart, it is obviously impossible.

In terms of knowledge, he dare not say he surpassed Chi Fenggu, but he was always better than the mediocre and incompetent Zhao Liangcai.

Song Ruili watched Chi Fenggu lead the army away gradually, raised his hand and looked at the blue sky.

The scorching sun made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Some tears welled up in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Dali, it's over..."

He didn't think Duan Qilin would have any power to deal with the Song army after these Dali troops returned home.Perhaps, it is quite difficult to be able to suppress those tribes in the country.

In the Battle of Xiushan City, he led the crowd to fight to the end, and only led more than a thousand people to follow Zhao Liang before escaping from the city.

That time, Zhao Liangcai took him to the emperor's sanctuary, and was reprimanded by Duan Xingzhi.But after that, all the responsibility was shifted to him who was unable to turn the tide.

This made him remain in his original post after Duan Qilin ascended the throne, without any promotion.

The governor of Xiushan County is still Zhao Liangcai.

Now that the death is over, Song Ruili asks himself whether it is not difficult to go back to Dali alive.It's just that the army is bound to suffer heavy losses, what will happen to Zhao Liangcai then?
Even though Duan Qilin knew clearly that he had difficulties, he probably would not go against that old minister Zhao Liangcai because of him.

Song Ruili sees no hope of getting ahead.

In the eastern sky, many blood-red hot air balloons inlaid with golden dragons appeared in his eyes.

A soldier hurried over to report, "General! The Song army is coming soon."

Song Ruili slowly closed his eyes, facing the general in charge of the city, "You...do you want to live or die?"

The generals will change color slightly.

Everyone could understand what Song Ruili meant.

Someone said: "General Song, do you want to surrender?"

Song Ruili's face was extremely complicated, "Chi Fenggu's tens of thousands of troops dare not resist these Song troops. After we break up, do you think you can stop them? Can you go back alive?"

"But……"

A general frowned and said, "Our family members all..."

Most of these generals had complaints about Chi Fenggu's letting them go.

No one wants to die.

They are not as conscious as Song Jun.

In the past, Dali voted yuan, and most of the generals who were covered in bones died.The rest are mostly people who would rather linger on their last days.

And most of their xinxing was left behind.

After all, even now, these soldiers in Dali may not have a high character.Because Dali did not make them defend to the death.

Duan Qilin's enthronement is still short, and he can't win people's hearts so quickly.

Both he and the Palace Master of Guigu were too hasty.

Song Ruili said: "If you follow these Song troops to destroy Chi Fenggu's army, no one in the country... will be able to resist these Song troops. Zhao Liangcai...he is afraid of death."

The faces of the generals changed again.

They could hear what Song Ruili meant.

If they voted for the Song Dynasty, and the Song army attacked Dali, with Zhao Liangcai's temperament, it is very likely that they will surrender in anticipation.At that time, they may not dare to do anything to their family members.

only……

A general said: "General Song, will these Song troops attack the country?"

Song Ruili said: "The Song army only forced the city in the morning, trying to force our army back, but now they come to attack in a hurry, why do you think?"

He said, sighing softly, "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it a little bit. The Song Army can be so invincible, and they can be so brave and fearless. They are not just fighting for the Great Song Emperor! ...they are fighting for the people of Song Dynasty..."

He suddenly laughed at himself again, "It's just ridiculous for us people to kill and kill. In the end, what is the reason for fighting? Do you have a clear answer in your heart?"

The generals were silent.

for power...

for the family...

for wealth...

To make a name for yourself...

After all, how many people are really shedding blood for the common people?

When the Great Song Army attacked Xiushan County, their family was never harmed.Even if these generals of the Xiushan Army wanted to hate the Song Army, it was hard for them to hate them.

Moreover, the class division of this era is extremely clear.

They are all generals, they can be said to be nobles, how many of them really care about the common people?
It's not that there are people who don't care about the common people, it's just that such people are only rare after all.At least among these people present, there is no such person.

This was the case in the previous Song Dynasty. Therefore, facing the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, many people in the country surrendered, and the great Song Dynasty was quickly defeated.

And why is Dali now so different from the Song Dynasty at the beginning?
It is true that Duan Qilin is a rare and talented emperor, but even he himself does not have the basic awareness that the people are the foundation, so how could the generals and officials in Dali have them?
After the silence, a general said: "I...will only obey General Song's order."

Immediately afterwards, more generals surrendered their hands.

"Then...let's lower the flag..."

Song Ruili sighed again, then raised his head and looked up at the sky again.

In fact, he was still entangled in his heart. After all, he only recognized Duan Qilin as the master of the Ming Dynasty, and thought that Duan Qilin might unify the world.And he has worked hard for this, but unfortunately, he failed to accompany Duan Qilin to the end of this road.

Song Ruili didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

It's just that he had a good relationship with Duan Qilin in Guigu Academy, so he voted for Song Dynasty, and he always felt a little guilty for Duan Qilin in his heart.

The Dali military flag at the top of the city slowly fell, and then was thrown down the city by the soldiers.

Song Ruili muttered to himself, "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world... The academy taught us how to march and fight, but unfortunately, it didn't teach us... why we fight..."

Song Jun's hot air balloon flew over Hengshan Village.

Then, go to the sky above the Simon.

It can be seen that although there are Dali soldiers spreading across the city below, there is no military flag, and they did not throw thunder down.

Afterwards, Zhang Hongwei and Miao Cheng led the cavalry through Chicheng in the city and also went to the west gate.

Song Ruili led all the generals down to the top of the city, stood in front of Zhang Hongwei and others, stood with folded hands, and said: "I am willing to vote for Song."

This made Zhang Hongwei and the others slightly stunned.

It's just that they are burning with anger at this time.

Looking at the surrounding smog, it seems that there is a picture of Dali army burning, killing and looting in the city.

Zhang Hongwei stared and said: "You do such inhuman things in the city, what face do you have to beg for surrender? If I kill the people in your country like this, what will you do?"

He had been to Dali before.Only at that time, they did not slaughter the people of Dali like this.

Song Ruili sighed, "Then what does the general intend to do?"

Among the soldiers under his command, there are Xiushan Army defenders, but more soldiers are also soldiers from various ministries in Xiushan County.

These soldiers had also participated in burning, killing and looting before.

"kill!"

Zhang Hongwei glared at the unarmed Song Ruili and the others, and just yelled.

If these people like Song Ruili had not participated in the burning, killing and looting, he might have accepted their surrender, just like accepting Prince Gan.But now, I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible.
