When Li Xiaogong came down, Bu Ali was still there.
"Bring him here." Li Xiaogong waved his hand.
Bu Ali was quickly brought to Li Xiaogong, "I have met the general of the country." Bu Ali said in a nervous tone, without even daring to raise his head.
"According to the order of His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, the Mangbu and Wangbu subordinate tribes of the Queen Kingdom and the Piao Kingdom wantonly attacked the Tang tribe and massacred five people of the Tang Dynasty. One tribe intended to join the Tang Dynasty. The king of the Queen Kingdom is now ordered to lead the country to immediately Surrender and accept the treatment of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy." Li Xiaogong directly stated Li Ke's order in a nutshell.
Bu Ali was completely stunned. What...are these things? What about Mangbu and Wangbu? He didn’t know where they were at all. What relationship did these tribes have with them?
The problem is that Datang now wants them to surrender. If they don't surrender, they will be executed immediately.
Buali is afraid of this.
"General, I'm wronged..." Buali screamed immediately and knelt down on the ground.
"Get up, it's none of your business." Yu Chigong, who was standing next to him, kicked him directly and knocked him to the ground.
"Yes, yes." Buali quickly got up from the ground.
"You should immediately take your people back to that city and tell the city's highest officer to open the city gate and surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences." Yu Chigong said directly in a cold voice.
"Shangguan, I am the highest officer of this city." Buali spoke directly, fight? Come on, most of the walls of their seaside cities are made of wood. Such walls are often just used to prevent wild beasts and rioters.
How could an army like the Tang Dynasty defend itself?
There are bigger cities. The Queen City has city walls made of stone, but the walls are only about three people high. There is no way to compare with the tall city walls of the Tang Dynasty.
"I surrender. I will immediately lead the Tang army to control the city gate." Buali nodded hurriedly and said.
Li Xiaogong and Yuchi Gong were also a little speechless. They didn't expect Bu Ali to be the highest officer here.
But it's a good starting point anyway.
With Bu Ali taking the lead, although the defenders just closed the city gate when they saw the situation was not good, they still opened the city gate obediently with Bu Ali taking the lead, and the generals in the city were not convinced. .
Because their defenders here were only over a thousand people, and he could see clearly from the city wall just now that Datang's army numbered at least tens of thousands!
And they are fully armed soldiers. How can we fight this?
After entering the city, Li Xiaogong gave some explanations and immediately asked people to start controlling the entire city and take over the defense of the entire city.
All the defenders in the entire city were gathered together. Except for a few generals and a selected 200 soldiers, all the remaining defenders were given a sentence: drop all weapons and equipment, and then return. Go home, otherwise you will be executed. "
After these garrison soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, everyone decisively dropped their weapons and dispersed on the spot.
Li Xiaogong deliberately did not say too much because it was not necessary.
He knew the mentality of these soldiers very well. These defenders didn't even have any armor. They were wearing leather armor and wooden spears. The entire city couldn't hold out more than 500 bows and arrows. They had no fighting power at all. Their daily routine My job is probably to maintain law and order.
…
"Second uncle, are we really going home like this? You are still the captain." Among the soldiers who dropped their weapons and dispersed, a young man asked a middle-aged man.
"Nonsense, where are you going if you don't go home? I'm telling you, go home honestly and don't go anywhere. There's going to be a war." The middle-aged man said calmly. He was still a small captain before and was not very old. official position, but now he gave it up decisively.
"Then when we go home...will we be blamed by others?"
"Blame it on shit. They can't even protect themselves. Have you seen the Tang Dynasty's army? Are you going to fight such an army?" The middle-aged man glared at his nephew and asked.
The young man thought of the army that was almost entirely covered in iron armor. He didn't know how these soldiers tolerated such hot weather.
Although after the opponent took control of the city, most of the soldiers began to take off their armor.
But the opponent's weapons, bows and arrows, and the bed crossbow that had just been carried into the city... thinking about the bed crossbow's crossbow shooting into his body, the young man shuddered, "I don't want to fight."
"It's okay if you don't want to. Fighting against the Tang Dynasty's army is asking for death! What's more, in the future we will still not be the Penchai Kingdom (the Hali Penchai Kingdom is the original name of the Queen's Kingdom, and the Queen's Kingdom is the name of this country in the Tang Dynasty) ) people can’t say for sure, maybe we will also be from the Tang Dynasty in the future!”
"This...is really going to be like this, second uncle." The young people were shocked by the news.
"Do you think a big country like the Tang Dynasty would go to war in such a big way just to scare you? How much would it cost to bring tens of thousands of troops across the sea? When they make such a large-scale move, it means The other party doesn't want to solve the problem easily, so war is inevitable. Go home obediently and don't go anywhere. You can do whatever the people of the Tang Dynasty say." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"yes……"
Although other soldiers returning home did not expect this, they knew that they were going to fight, and they were still fighting against the Tang army that was armed to the teeth. Think about the number of Datang troops entering the city and their weapons. As long as they did not want to fight like this If the army fights, then no one will run back.
Li Xiaogong understood their thoughts and let them go directly.
Otherwise, people would have to spend time watching them.
"You guys, now go to your royal city with this edict, find your queen and tell her that His Highness King Qin wants her to lead the country to surrender immediately, otherwise it will not be so simple when the Tang army arrives." Li Xiaogongdu said Too lazy to talk to these people.
Instead, he directly handed over an edict prepared in advance to them and ordered them to go to the Queen City with this edict.
But Bu Ali and Li Xiaogong didn't let him leave. He was quite interesting, and it would be nice to keep him to help look after the city. After all, he still needs someone who is familiar with the local situation. Although almost everyone here can understand and speak Tang dialect, it is better to have someone familiar with some local habits and rules.
Although several generals appointed by Li Xiaogong were not really willing to go to the Queen's City, Li Xiaogong allowed them to go, and they did not dare not to go.
