    Bingzhou. Dudufu

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The streets were prosperous and crowded, but after the ravages of the barbarians, the population dropped sharply to 60% of the original number. Fortunately, it was recovered, gradually became peaceful, and a lot of prosperity was restored.

    On the broad street, pedestrians gradually came and saw a large house. In front of the door were four soldiers with long swords in their hands. There was a plaque on the front, which said "Fan Mansion was built by imperial decree."

    "The general called me here, but what happened?" Chen Yi, Fan Liuhai's staff member, was a short man with a beard. He saw his lord sitting there, contemplating and silent, and asked.

    At this time, there were four people sitting in the study, with Fan Liuhai at the head, two staff members, and a general sitting below.

    Fan Liuhai pondered for a moment and then said, "I just received an order from the court about the grassland."

    "Grassland? But the general's order to go out?" Chen Yi was slightly startled and asked.

    The other two frowned slightly, waiting for the general to continue.

    The three of them were Fan Liuhai's confidants. Fan Liuhai didn't hide it and said directly: "That's not the case. The emperor ordered me to prepare to meet the remnants of Balu here."

    "Balu? The prince of the Khanate!" Fan Liuhai didn't need to elaborate. The three of them all knew who this person was.

    Can you not remember?

    The noise this man made on the grassland was quite big. The message sent to Jinling to surrender also passed through Bingzhou, so Fan Liuhai naturally knew the inside story.

    Fan Liuhai knows the inside story, and these close advisors and generals all know something about it.

    "That's the man." Fan Liuhai said, "You must be aware of the battle between the two sides on the grassland. The winner was decided. The document sent before was a document asking for surrender. The emperor has directly issued a decree to surrender to Hu Renjian.  flag system.¡±

    This general was Lu Zheng. He had been sitting upright with his hands on his knees, listening calmly. Then he asked: "General, the flag system proposed by the emperor is to imitate the mountain flag? Do you really want to imitate it?"  The flag system in the mountains. Can this barbarian be subject to the control of the imperial court?"

    At that time, the mountain tribes only harmed one place, while the barbarians had an influence on the entire Central Plains. Can the two forces be restrained in a way?

    Fan Liuhai didn't say anything. He was also thinking about this problem. He had dealt with the mountain clan.  This clan has a warlike temperament and a fierce temperament, which is really difficult to deal with.

    And he has also dealt with Hu people, and I have to say that there are some similarities between the two.

    They are all barbarians, good at war, and disobedient to discipline in many ways.  All have similarities.

    "The emperor's move must be justified. You and I just have to obey the order." Fan Liuhai said slowly: "There is no need to say more. Let's discuss the next one."

    "Building the flag is not the most important thing. We will wait until Balu belongs to us. What we want to think about now is whether Balu sincerely surrenders to our court, or is it a trick of the envoy?" Fan Liuhai lowered his eyes.  He moved his eyes to the teacup in his hand and said.

    "Hu people have always been cunning, so we really need to be on guard against this." Lu Zheng said immediately.

    Another staff member hesitated for a moment and said, "No way, Balu only defeated 10,000 people. How dare you offend our Dacheng Dynasty at this time?"

    ¡°It¡¯s precisely because Balu is at the end of his rope, I don¡¯t know what his plans are!¡± A look of contempt flashed in Chen Yi¡¯s eyes.  He stared at this person and said cautiously: "Although there is only a 10-20% chance that there is fraud, if they really take advantage of the loophole, the Bingzhou we defend will be in danger. How can we explain this to the court and the emperor?"  There can¡¯t be any negligence.¡±

    "Mr. Chen is right. Bingzhou is related to our family and life. We must not be careless about this matter. When Balu comes to surrender, we must be careful." Fan Liuhai thought for a moment and then said: "But the imperial court has a decree, and General Wu has been ordered to surrender."  Come to this city and join me. There will be 70,000 troops in the city and Balu will only have 10,000. As long as you are careful, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything happening!"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    It can be seen that the emperor has been prepared for this for a long time, so he gave this order.

    Wu Xingzong also received the order from Jinling at this time.

    At this time, the night was cool and the sky was overcast. The four doors in the Governor's Mansion were closed tightly. In a room, a person was wandering around.

    "Balu asked for surrender from the imperial court?" Wu Xingzong received the situation. He held the intelligence that had just been sent to him with no expression on his face.

    Under the dim light, I heard louder sounds all around, and there was the faint sound of the collision of soldiers in undress. It seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be nearby, which added a bit of elegance to the study.Atmosphere.

    The green energy was rolling on top of his head, and a trace of purple energy was gathering uncertainly, but it was much weaker than before.

    Last time, he killed the barbarian prince and burned ten thousand people. He was indeed rewarded generously. He was promoted to the third rank at once and became the governor of a province. He controlled an army of 30,000 people. He can be said to be the youngest general since the founding of the country.

    But the small section is not as good as the general trend. Once the Hu people are defeated, the general trend is completely in the hands of Wang Hongyi, and the hidden dragon will never come out of the abyss. Therefore, the green energy is strong, but the purple energy dissipates instead. This is a sign of the decline of destiny.

    "The emperor was really surprised to accept the surrender of the barbarians." Wu Xingzong could imagine how the officials in the court were shocked when faced with this order. However, since the order was given to him, it meant that the minister had compromised.  .

    No matter what, the disintegration of the Hu people at this time is a good thing for the Dacheng Dynasty. Support one side and suppress the other. Is this the emperor's plan?

    Wu Xingzong had never been to the grasslands, and he had heard that the environment was much harsher than that of the Central Plains, especially the Qianli Grassland, which was difficult to survive. If the large army entered directly and fought against the cavalry and barbarians who were familiar with the terrain, they would probably suffer a loss. Instead of doing this  , it is better to support one side and make the barbarians fight among themselves!

    No matter what, now he only has his allegiance to Dacheng. Thinking of this, Wu Xingzong stood up and ordered: "Come here, pass my order and ask all generals above the fifth rank to wait for me in the meeting hall!"

    Watching the attendant go out to convey the order, Wu Xingzong's eyes were deep, and the decree asked him to join Fan Liuhai and wait for Balu's arrival to accept his surrender.

    Official way

    A 30,000-strong army is marching rapidly, with continuous thunder "booming" as the army gallops.

    At this time, it is still not close to Luoyang.

    Although marching.  Wang Hongyi was just prepared, and the 100,000 troops who arrived in Luoyang were just as a second-line buffer. This was a precautionary measure, and he did not really intend to lead the 100,000 troops straight to the front line.

    "Your Majesty, we have just received an urgent report. Balu led his troops to flee to Bingzhou. They should be able to reach Bingzhou in two days!" At this time, a Qianhu from the Thirteenth Division followed from behind and reported in front of Wang Hongyi's chariot.

    "It doesn't matter. General Fan is sitting there, so he must have made arrangements for it." Wang Hongyi said without moving.

    Several decrees had been issued long before leaving Jinling. Fan Liuhai must have been fully prepared by this time.

    Even if the Great Khan chases his troops to Bingzhou.  The troops, horses and firearms stationed there were enough to resist, and he also rushed to Luoyang with an army of 100,000.

    Seeing that the emperor was confident, thousands of households in the Thirteen Divisions retreated silently.

    In fact, when Wang Hongyi was thinking this, a Hu army had already arrived at the newly built Hu front line in Lichuan City, Bingzhou.

    The trumpet sounded, and the generals rushed to the city.  When I went up, I heard the report: "The barbarians are coming. There are more than 10,000 people, but about 20,000 people."

    Fan Liuhai's face sank and he ordered: "Send the order, load the crossbows, load the muskets, and let the soldiers guard!"

    Listen to the order.  The Chinese army immediately conveyed the order, and the soldiers guarding the city wall were on alert and ready for battle.

    Everyone looked serious, and the walls were covered with dense firecrackers.

    Seeing this, Wu Xingzong remained calm. He stood on the tower and looked from a distance, only the horizon was visible.  A group of Hu soldiers were heading towards the city. Preliminary estimates were that the number was about three thousand.

    And a group of cavalry came over and looked at the city, but the troops on the city were in order.  Numerous guns were pointed at each other, but there was no movement at all.

    When the sentinel saw this, he ran back. Soon most of them came rolling in and slowly gathered one mile in front of the city.

    Seeing this, Fan Liuhai and Wu Xingzong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Fan Liuhai looked calm. Looking carefully, he saw that most of them were women and children. Probably for this reason, the team was exhausted when they reached Bingzhou City.

    "There are many women and children, but there are only seven thousand men to fight against." Wu Xingzong's eyes were sharp and he had already made an estimate. He took a step forward and said to Fan Liuhai.

    Fan Liuhai showed a smile and said: "Yes, this will be much easier to handle."

    With that said, he ordered: "Kaicheng, send out the army!"

    Facing the Hu army, if you don't defend the city and don't come out, you will be timid. In reality, Dacheng has 70,000 elite troops. If you don't dare to go out of the city to fight in the field against this army of only 7,000, it will be in vain.

    The city gates were wide open, and a large army stepped out, arrayed solemnly, with strict military discipline and standing quietly. There was no noise in the entire military formation, exuding an astonishing military power.

    There was a group of gunfire troops on the city, also arrayed solemnly, the muzzles of their guns were dark.

    The city was covered in red above and below, and under the sun, the smell of iron blood in the air was even more obvious.The Hu people were not without rules. Even though thousands of cavalry were tired, they still formed a large formation. But when they saw this military spirit, there was a sudden silence. No one spoke, there was only a kind of fear.

    Balu has also been fighting for a long time. When he saw it, he knew that this army was very strong, many in number, and well prepared. It was so strong that his heart sank.

    A cavalryman suddenly rushed towards Dachengjun. Someone wanted to intercept him, but Balu shook his head and let the man come.

    When he came to Balu, although he was surrounded by Hu soldiers, the man was not afraid at all. He bowed slightly and said, "I am the messenger of General Dacheng Dingguo. My general asked me to bring a message!"

    The man glanced at everyone and said, "My general asked, do you want to fight or surrender?"

    These words were spoken in the language of the grasslands, and all the soldiers became pale after hearing this!

    Balu¡¯s face was livid, but he didn¡¯t speak. One person asked: ¡°How about fighting or surrender?¡±

    "If you want to fight, we can fight immediately. Our army will fight with you in the field!" The man looked up to the sky and smiled. He looked at the generals coldly. Seeing that the generals were silent, he said again: "If you want to surrender, you will come forward and kiss me."  Please surrender if you are beaten."

    General Yi was immediately furious and wanted to speak, but just as he stepped forward, a whip hit him hard with a "snap" sound. His skin and flesh were immediately torn, and Balu gave him a hard whip.

    Balu¡¯s face was ashen and he said, ¡°Please tell the general that I accept this condition.¡±

    "Your Highness!" Someone shouted in pain and unwillingness.

    Balu¡¯s eyes flashed with cold light, and he said slowly: ¡°Do we still have any choice at this time?¡±

    The army fought with his father Khan, losing 50,000 grassland warriors and 200,000 civilians, which greatly reduced the strength of the grassland. Balu knew his father's character very well and knew that his father hated him to the bone and would kill him without mercy.  Something else is possible.

    Originally, I came here with other thoughts in mind, but as soon as I saw this array, I knew that this idea was tantamount to seeking death.

    Hearing this, the messenger's face softened and he said: "You have such a heart, it is a great kindness."

    With that said, he turned his horse back to report. Fan Liuhai in the city laughed loudly when he heard the report, and said to the people around him: "It seems that this Balu is very sincere."

    Then he ordered to go down and agreed.
