The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 969
But he knew that in the original historical trend, Duan Shi took over Duan Xingzhi's position as the manager of Dali.Moreover, he didn't have much ambition, and was willing to bow his head to the Yuan Dynasty.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting said: "Since you are sincerely begging for surrender, then stay in our army for now!"

Duan Shi probably didn't expect Zhao Dongting to surrender so easily, he was a little dazed.

There was no surprise on Feng Hebi's face, and he quickly fell to his knees: "Subordinate, Feng Hebi, to thank the emperor!"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Restrain your lieutenant officers and soldiers, and stay in the Jiu Mao Pass first."

"Yes!"

Feng Hebi bowed his hands to accept the order, got up slowly, and walked down the city again.

Duan Shi came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Dongting, and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Zhao Dongting, "Master Duan, please stay by my side first!"

Duan Shi was slightly stunned again, thinking that Zhao Dongting wanted to take him as a hostage, so he didn't say much, and obediently stayed in the city.

Zhang Jue looked at the Dali soldiers who were gradually gathering under the city, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, after this battle, the western border of the Great Song Dynasty has been completely stabilized."

Zhao Dongting nodded and looked towards the west.

Now Dali and Xin Song's domestic forces are almost empty, but the pacification of Xijiang is obviously not enough to satisfy his appetite.

But before that, repelling the Yuan army first is still the top priority.

That night, the remaining [-] soldiers of the Dali Army obediently surrendered, and were guarded in Jiumao Pass by the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the Dali army from Luoxianguan and other places also arrived here, there were only corpses left everywhere outside the pass.

Feng Hebi left the customs with two offerings.

On the top of the city, the Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty is waiting in strict formation, with guns and armor everywhere.

Not long after, Feng Hebi persuaded the Dali army who had just arrived at Luoxianguan and other places.

About [-] Dali troops entered the pass after disarming their armor.

The number of soldiers in Jiumao Pass reached [-].

There are more than 2 people under Zhang Jue's command. Since the Dali Army has no weapons or armor, they are not afraid of any troubles they may cause.

Looking at the beginning and end of the Battle of Chenzhou, the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty undoubtedly won another great victory.

Although it was a fluke that Zhao Dongting arrived and the heavy rain fell, no matter what, victory is victory.

The army under Feng Hebi's command lost close to [-], while the imperial army of the Song Dynasty only lost less than [-].This is not a big victory, what is a big victory?

After receiving Dali's surrender, Zhao Dongting took Zhang Jue, Ren Wei and others to the Guannei barracks, and Duan Shi, Feng Hebi and other major Dali generals were also called.

As soon as he was seated, Zhao Dongting said bluntly to Feng Hebi and the others: "You will fight loyally for the Song Dynasty, and I will not treat you badly! I will let you have a better status than before."

He didn't say those empty words or big words, because he knew in his heart that for people like Feng Hebi, rights and status are the most important things in their hearts.

This sentence alone is enough.

Feng Hebi and others hurriedly cupped their hands, "We will die for the emperor."

Zhao Dongting just nodded slightly and looked at Duan Shi.

Of course he didn't believe what Feng Hebi and the others said.

How can it be so easy to kill someone?

To put it bluntly, Feng Hebi and the others had no choice but to surrender now.It can't be said that if Song Dynasty loses power in the future, they will definitely switch to other countries immediately.

It's just that Zhao Dongting didn't intend to give them such an opportunity.

Staring at Duan Shi for a few seconds, Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "Prince Duan really intends to bow down to me, Da Song?"

Duan Shi smiled wryly, and said bluntly: "A defeated general cannot be honored or disgraced... I only hope that the emperor will spare my life."

In order to save his life, he might have to go all out, not even this face.

Because he understands that if he does not surrender, he will die in all likelihood.Even if he could go back to Dali, the emperor's nephew might not let him go.

Zhao Dongting chuckled, thinking in his heart that this passage was really weak-tempered.

Then he said: "My lord really surrendered, I will not take your life. Maybe, it is not impossible for you to be the chief executive of Dali in the future."

Hearing this, Duan Shi's eyes suddenly burst into light, he got up and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Duan Shi is willing to saddle up for the emperor!"

As far as he is concerned, being the general manager of Dali is much better than being the prince of Dali.Because the chief executive of Dali is heaven in Dali, and the prince, after all, is just a relative of the emperor.

……

Yongquan Temple, Gushan, Fuzhou, Fujian Road.

Time rewinds to the afternoon.

The fire lasted for nearly an hour and gradually spread towards Yongquan Temple.

Although the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty cleared a isolation zone outside the temple, the billowing smoke still choked everyone to tears and snot.

Fortunately, Yongquan Temple is located high enough, otherwise, the smoke alone would have killed many people.

Old monk Huizhi and all the monks still sat cross-legged on the ground and recited scriptures.

Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others gradually showed anxious expressions. If the fire continued to spread like this, they might really have to die here.

And at this moment, the sky over Fuzhou suddenly changed.

Dark clouds gathered suddenly, and a cool breath swept away the original heat.

It rained heavily.

The rain had just fallen, and it was pouring down.When Didi hit someone's face, it was actually a little painful.

But no matter how heavy the rain was, it was sweet rain to the lieutenant generals of the Fuzhou garrison.

All the soldiers looked up at the sky in a daze, and then burst into bursts of cheers.

The monks sitting cross-legged on the ground also opened their eyes, quite surprised.At this moment, their belief in the Buddha in their hearts is probably a little more pious.

The Yuan army under the mountain was dumbfounded.

Originally, the mountain was burned well, thinking that the Song army on the mountain could be wiped out with just this fire, but what do you think, God will rain at this time.

I don't know how many generals under Ah Shu's command yelled at God in their hearts.

No matter how hard you scold, the rain will naturally not stop, and it will become bigger and bigger.

The raging flames on the mountain gradually showed signs of being extinguished.

Ashu led the army down the mountain, and soon they were all drowned.

Although Ah Shu had a chariot to shelter from the rain, his face was also very ugly.Seeing all the soldiers standing in the rain, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Command the army to surround the mountain and prepare to attack!"

Although the fire seemed unable to burn the Song army on the mountain to death, he still had time to encircle the entire Gushan Mountain.

In the overall situation now, the Yuan army still takes the absolute initiative.

"Yes!"

There was a general beside Ashu's chariot and took the order to leave.

Not long after, generals such as Ba Gen in the Yuan army led their soldiers towards the surrounding area of ​​Gushan Mountain.And encircle towards the mountain.

Now the foot of the mountain has been burned bare.

The ashes of vegetation can annihilate the insteps of these Yuan troops.

"Head, the Yuan army is coming up the mountain!"

On the mountain, a scout with a binoculars hurried up to Gao Tianzong and the others.

With a telescope, you can see the movement of the Yuan army at the foot of the mountain.

Gao Tianzong didn't go to see it in person, but exchanged glances with Che Hongyu and the team leader, and said, "Everyone, how should we deal with it?"

Che Hongyu frowned and asked the scouts: "Which direction did they climb the mountain from?"

The scout replied: "I saw their army passing by the side of the mountain, I'm afraid... they are going to go up the mountain."

Che Hongyu pondered for a while, then looked at Gao Tianzong and the others again, "Commanders, the Yuan army has tens of thousands of people, it may not be easy for us to hold on. I think the only way to break through is to choose a direction, and then deal with them again. Best policy."

As he said that, he glanced at the old monk Huizhi and the others, "Besides, we have to escort all the eminent monks in the temple out."

Hearing what he said, Gao Tianzong immediately nodded, "I think Captain Che is right."

Although they have six legions here right now, facing tens of thousands of troops, it is indeed impossible to defend Yongquan Temple to the death.

After all, there were thunderbolts in the Yuan army, and the number of projectiles and sky cannons in their Fuzhou garrison was very small, far less than that of the Forbidden Army.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also somewhat different from that of the Forbidden Army.

At the moment, the generals of the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth regiments of the Fuzhou garrison also nodded one after another.

Seeing the fire gradually extinguished, the crowd began to gather the soldiers.

Gao Tianzong walked up to the old monk Huizhi and asked, "Master, may I ask if the salutes of the people in the temple have been arranged?"

The old monk Huizhi said: "It has been sorted out."

Gao Tianzong said: "Master, then call all the monks in the temple over, and we will escort you to break out from the west side of the mountain!"
