Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 637: Make mistakes and force Tianquan (Part )
"Oh, Chief, why did you come out of the city in person?" Yang Xianzhu was shocked and hurriedly dismounted from his horse and saluted.

"Brother Yang has come all the way to see me, how dare I not greet him personally?" Lalm hugged him tightly and laughed, "Come on, come with me into the city, the food and wine are ready."

Yang Xianzhu was moved and silently followed Lalm into the city. Food and wine had been prepared in the city, and all the generals came to greet him. They treated him less like a defeated general than an old friend.

Lalm and Yang Xianzhu looked at each other and ate meat and drank wine in a tacit agreement, talking only about friendship and not political affairs. After a long time, the banquet was over, and a guard bowed to Yang Xianzhu and said, "Deputy Envoy Yang, the commander-in-chief invites you to go to the back tent to discuss matters."

Yang Xianzhu nodded and came to the back tent. Seeing that Lalm was the only one in the tent, he hurriedly took out a letter and handed it to him, "Headquarters, this is a letter from the envoy to recruit you."

"Oh, brother Gao's letter? It's been a long time since I last saw brother Gao." Larm chuckled, opened the letter and looked at it. Gao Jitai's letter is very long, and most of the letter is spent reminiscing about his old relationship with Larm. The central meaning is that he, Yang Xianzhu, and Anmeng are all willing to defect to the Wei Kingdom, but Zhang Shiwei, the magistrate of Yazhou, Xiong Zhensheng, the regimental training officer, Pan Lin, the garrison of Hongya County, Ma Ting, and Wen Yinyuan, a native of Lizhou, do not agree. Tianquan Sixth Division, Lizhou and Yazhou have always been in the same spirit, and they want to fall together. He hoped that David's court would give him more time to persuade these people. When the time comes, surrender to David immediately.

"Oh, to be honest with Brother Yang, this matter is difficult! I'm afraid I will have to fight with my two brothers!" Lalm sighed sadly.

"Why? Aren't you the commander-in-chief of the Guards? Why not give him more time?" Yang Xianzhu asked strangely.

"Although I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Batu Mengke, the commander-in-chief of Uzbekistan, Salaletu who joined the army, and others have always refused to obey me. It's only because your army was defeated so quickly! I didn't want to fight this battle, so We only sent more than a thousand people as the vanguard. Unexpectedly, your army failed to defeat even these more than a thousand people, and instead lost Zishi Pass. I don’t want to fight with my two brothers, so I have been staying here for the past few days. Zishiguan stood still, which gave Batu Mengke and Salaltu an excuse. These two people kept attacking me and threatened to impeach me. Alas! It's hard for me too! Please return to Erlang Mountain immediately. Today's story We have ended our old relationship, and I have to go to Erlang Mountain tomorrow to fight to the death. Please forgive me." Lalm's expression was sad, even more miserable than a resentful woman.

Yang Xianzhu was shocked, "My dear brother, why are you doing this? You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army. If your subordinates are disobedient, just use military law to get rid of them."

"Alas~" Lalm sighed again, "You don't know something. Salaretu was born into a noble family in Mongolia, and Batu Mengke was the son of Erke, Duke of Lu, the patriarch of the David Kingdom. The younger brother is really troublesome. I can’t afford it”.

Yang Xianzhu became anxious and said, "Please consider my dear brother, please do whatever it takes to be accommodating."

"Let's do this. For the sake of past friendship, I will give brother five more days. Within five days, if you can convince brother Gao to return to the defense, we will still be friends. Otherwise, we will have to fight to the death on the battlefield." Lalm's expression was solemn, as if he was forced to do so, but his eyes could not hide the ferocious ferocity.

Yang Xianzhu also sighed, "If we return to the defense, how will David treat us?"

"Brother, don't worry. After returning to the guard, Brother Gao will still be the recruiting envoy of the Sixth Division of Tianquan. You will still be the deputy recruiting envoy of the Sixth Division of Tianquan. The other local officials will follow the official system of the Ming Dynasty and remain hereditary. They only need to abide by the "Great Recruitment Envoy". "We just need to follow the Law of Wei" and pay taxes to the court according to David's tax rate."

Yang Xianzhu nodded and said, "Please be patient, dear brother. I will return and inform the envoy immediately, and I will definitely give you an answer within five days."
"Bang~" A hard blow made the table tremble. Tianquan's sixth attack made Gao Jitai angry and yelled, "This Lalm is really nothing! Why are you afraid of being impeached by your subordinates, so you have to fight? Bah! He clearly saw that our army lost Zishi Pass and thought he was weak and could be bullied." , I want to capture Tianquan and achieve his great achievements! Haha, only giving five days is really too much!"

Yang Xianzhu hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Calm down the envoy. Now we have Western thieves in the east and David in the west. We are attacked on both sides. All the troops in Diaomen have gathered, but there are only more than 10,000 people, but the guards have more than 20,000, and they are all elite soldiers. , so we captured Zishi Pass in four days. We must choose one of the Western Thieves and David to rely on, otherwise it will be difficult to survive. The Jiarong Eight Tribes are of the same culture and race as us, and the Kangrong officials are all old friends. But the Western thieves have a deep hatred for us, and the only way to survive is to surrender!"

Seeing that Gao Jitai was silent, he added: "Lalm promised that as long as we are willing to surrender, and in accordance with the previous conditions, all local officials in the Sixth Division of Tianquan will be replaced according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty and hereditary, as long as they abide by the "Da Da" "We just need to follow the Law of Wei" and pay taxes to the court according to David's tax rate."

After hearing this, Gao Jitai was a little moved, and said leisurely: "But Lizhou and Yazhou have always been on the same side as us. We surrendered the guard without saying hello to them. Isn't it a bit unjust?"

Yang Xianzhu thought for a while and said: "An Meng, the pacifying envoy of Lizhou, has long wanted to return to the defense. You can surrender the guard and write a letter to An Meng at the same time. He will definitely be willing to surrender. Ma Ting and Wen Yinyuan can go to Qianhu. After fighting for it, Zhang Zhizhou, Xiong Shenjiang, and Pan Shoubei of Yazhou are all Han people. Didn't you see them calling "Sifan" one by one when they were in charge of Weiguo last time? Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force it, just don't mention it! "

"Alas!" Gao Jitai sighed, "That's all we can do! However, there must be one condition: after we surrender, the Kingdom of David cannot send us to attack Lizhou and Yazhou. I really can't bear to share the joys and sorrows together. Many years of hard work".

"Don't worry, I will make Weiguo agree to this condition," Yang Xianzhu agreed. When he appeared in front of Lalm again, he brought a letter of surrender and the household registration register of Tianquan Sixth Division. Lalm was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to take it, but was stopped by him, "Commander, wait a moment. Although the envoy is willing to submit to David, there is one condition. If you are willing to agree, I will invite you to the fortress to have a drink. If not, Agree, the only way is to fight it out on the battlefield."

"Oh? Brother Yang, please speak."

"After Tianquan's sixth division surrendered, David was not allowed to mobilize Tianquan's native soldiers to attack Lizhou and Yazhou."

Lalm was stunned and sighed, "Brother Gao didn't want to use force against the former brothers, how loyal! Anyway, I took some responsibility and agreed to this condition."

Yang Xianzhu was overjoyed and said, "So I invite the Marshal to have a drink at the fortress gate. We haven't seen him for a long time, and the messenger is really talking about you, Marshal."

As the guards entered the Diaomen, Tianquan Sixth Division was completely in the hands of the guards. While Larmu was reporting his merits, or indeed the good news, to Emperor Genyuan who was far away in Lhasa, he notified the governor of Kangrong, Zhongmeinai, the chief envoy Asumu, and the inspector-general Zhuowo Garbu, asking them to send some officials. Officials such as the Ambassador of the Tax Affairs Department and the Ambassador of the Tax Treasury Department should strengthen control.

Then, he made intensive preparations to march into Lizhou. Although Sun Kewang did not give Yazhou to Weiguo as a betrothal gift, and Emperor Qianyuan did not order the occupation of Yazhou, he did not intend to let go of this "noble" land in Sichuan, and Emperor Shangshu requested that it be included in the territory.
