Two hours later, the meeting in the Chinese military tent finally ended.
Wei Junqian led Yuan Xingwen and others through several turns in the western suburbs camp and walked to the temporary prison.
After passing through the heavily guarded gates, the group entered the prison.
The hive-like cells were filled with people.
Yuan Xingwen and others looked closely with interest.
Although most of them were meeting for the first time, the officials all had fixed court uniforms, and it was easy to recognize these old friends from Nanfeng based on their clothes.
For example, Pei Ruhai, Zhang Guangming, Zhou Jincai, etc...
Some of them were wearing Nanfeng prison uniforms themselves. Those were generals who had just been captured from Nan Fengtian. It was said that they had colluded with Yun Chui, such as the Central Army General Bai Qiongjing.
Even if Yun Chui's general didn't know them, he had heard the names of these people in the prison.
Similarly, the prisoners were no strangers to people like Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen, and they all rushed over to demand negotiations.
But no one paid any attention to them.
It didn't take long to reach the innermost cell.
After all, he is King Nanfeng, with a special status, and Ruan Tianshou enjoys a special room.
Not only are the four sides made of thick masonry, which is extremely strong, but it is also well soundproofed. What happens inside can’t be heard clearly from the neighbors.
Ruan Tianshou was holding a rosary at this time, pulling out the beads quickly and muttering Buddhist scriptures.
I don't know whether he was repenting for the sins he had committed in the past, or praying that the Yunchui people would respect him in light of his status.
Bang!
The door opened, and Wei Junqian and his party walked in.
Seeing the living King Nanfeng in front of them, Yuan Xingwen and others' eyes flashed, but they were not surprised.
They all looked at the guards following behind.
The guards glanced at Wei Junqian, and after receiving the signal, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers to catch King Nan Feng.
Ruan Tianshou was so shocked that he even forgot to take the rosary beads in his hand as they fell to the ground.
"Presumptuous! What are you trying to do?" He struggled hard.
"Even if the battle is defeated, I am still the lord of Nanfeng. Yun Chuisu comes from the ancient civilization of Xu, a country of etiquette. How dare you ignore it..."
Uh huh...
His mouth was suddenly pinched hard and unceremoniously by the bodyguard, and he couldn't help but open it.
A pill as big as a bean was thrown in and entered his stomach with a gurgling sound.
The guards then put Ruan Tianshou down and all retreated to stand behind Wei Junqian.
Ugh!
King Nan Feng's face turned pale and he scratched his throat hard, but nothing came out except for bursts of retching.
The pill melted in the mouth and entered the stomach long ago.
"You..." He covered his throat in panic and looked at Wei Junqian and the others with a stern expression: "What do you give me to eat?"
No one answered, everyone looked at Ruan Tianshou silently, as if looking at a dead person.
After a long time, and after confirming that he could not spit it out, Wei Junqian and his group turned around and left the cell again, and dispersed.
At dawn the next day, Ren Ning went to the Chinese Army to meet with Wei Junqian and Guan Luping, then returned to his tent and started busying around.
After a while, Lei Er and Xiao Gang strode in.
Both of them had some success during the siege. It was just that I was focused on charging into battle and didn't notice it at the time. After the war, I discovered that many places on my body were bruised and bruised.
The military doctors were very busy during this period, so they took the time to look at Lei Er and the two of them. They found that they were all flesh wounds, so they asked them to bandage them themselves.
Anyway, Ren Ning taught them the method before.
Fortunately, Ren Ning still had a lot of life-chasing powder in his hand, so he took it out for them to use. Whether it was because the injuries were minor or because the medicine powder was severe, the two of them seemed to be able to move freely now.
"General, what are you busy with?" The two looked at Ren Ning's expression carefully, "I heard that the army is preparing to return home?"
"Soon. But not now." Ren Ning's hands kept working. "We won a great victory and captured so many high-ranking officials from Nanfeng. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the general is planning to organize a team to escort them first. Go to the imperial capital to be tried.”
As for the other soldiers, they have to stay for a while to completely wipe out Nanfeng's effective forces and evacuate the residences of high-ranking officials.
Of course, in order to save food, the siege equipment at Zhennanguan and the garrison troops from the four southern counties would first go north and withdraw to their own territory. Wait until others have moved all the gold and silver treasures from Nanfeng back, and then we will discuss the merits and reward them.
Lei Er and Lei Er were not surprised. They rubbed their hands hesitantly: "General, are we included in the list of escorting prisoners back to the imperial capital?"
"Of course you are." Ren Ning smiled and nodded.
In the Battle of Nanfeng, a few of them led troops to a surprise attack on Huchou Valley, and later helped to break through Huchou Pass. Later, they attacked the Nanfeng Army on Xian and finally helped the soldiers of Zhennan Pass to cross the river. It can be said that corpses were everywhere everywhere they went. Plenty of military exploits.
With the Xingluo Legion standing behind them, people like Lei Er and Xiao Gang can be ranked at the top of the list no matter how they are ranked.
"Great." The two of them smiled happily.
Lei Er was okay, he just smiled and threw a few more broad beans into his mouth.
Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and even turned around a few times in excitement, then collapsed against the wall.
When he first left the imperial capital, he was so frightened that his mind went blank when he saw the blood; now that he saw the countless sharp swords in front of him, Xiao Gang still turned a blind eye and led the people to kill them.
After working hard, I finally got a good result.
At least he could temporarily hold on to his ancestor's title for the Zhongyong Mansion.
But it only lasted a few years temporarily.
Ren Ning specifically asked Wei Junqian before, and the situation in Zhongyong's Mansion was still not optimistic.
After all, the uncle's house is already a wealthy family in the empire. Xiao Gang's current achievements will only delay it for a few years, which is not enough to completely retain the title, let alone restore the former glory of Duke Xiao.
"What's this!" Xiao Gang laughed nonchalantly.
"I'm still alive. I can keep my title for a few years in this battle of Nanfeng, and a few more years in the next battle. As long as my father is more ambitious, and father and son join forces, it will definitely not be difficult to preserve the inheritance of our ancestors."
Zhongyong Bo Xiaozheng is now the general of Fubei. As long as he can stop the Beixiong people north of the country's gate, it will be a great achievement. At least the title of the third generation of Zhongyongbo Mansion will not be reduced.
Three more days later, the list of soldiers with outstanding military exploits was completed, and the prison cages, prison cars and other escort tools were also built.
Ren Ning and Li Hebai were appointed generals of Weiwu and Yangwei. They took detailed battle reports written by Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen and escorted King Nanfeng and his party northward.
As soon as he returned to the territory of Yunchui, King Nanfeng suffered from the cold due to the acclimatization, and he could not write or speak with his hands.
Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen were both benevolent generals.
Not only were enough military doctors provided for the generals like Ren Ning who returned in triumph, but they were even worried about the language barrier of the Nanfeng prisoners, and even assigned Nanfeng's own doctors to people like the King of Nanfeng.
After all, Ruan Tianshou has a special status. He fell ill, and the doctors in Nanfeng quickly took care of him.
However, despite the superb medical skills of the doctors and the excellent medicines themselves, King Nanfeng was old and frail and worried too much, and his cough became more and more serious day by day.
Not long after he left Baihua County, he died.
Ren Ning and Li Hebai discussed for a while.
The culprit of this is death, and the body must be transported back to the imperial capital for trial.
They borrowed some ice from the local governor and lieutenant to preserve the body, and dragged the coffin further north, ignoring the anger and mourning of old men like Pei Ruhai.
