Since Qi Yu wanted to destroy the remaining Donglu army without fighting, he did not push the battle line too far forward.
He was waiting for news about Qi Jingjun's battle situation.
Not bad luck.
Not long after, news came.
It is reported that after the last force test, the King of Goryeo made an evaluation of the Mobei Army: Its strength and excellent equipment have reached a transcendent level. Objectively speaking, it is really not suitable to challenge them head-on.
However, this does not mean that our side has no advantages at all.
Although Goryeo is relatively weak, it is solid and defensible, and is not a soft persimmon without any trump cards.
Yes, with ordinary people as a source of potential troops, how could they be defeated at the first touch? On the other hand, Qi Jing's army has a long front and difficulty in transporting supplies. Once it is dragged into a long-term war of attrition, it will be in a state of ineffectiveness.
If one side can wait until the rainy season comes, the other side may become overwhelmed.
In view of this consideration, the King of Goryeo formulated a delaying strategy.
Jin Liufu seemed to have some objections to this, so he made a vague suggestion.
He believed that Mobei's army was so powerful that it would not be a good idea to fight against it. So we should... think of a more secure method.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is obviously hinting at Kaicheng's surrender and protecting himself in this way.
Regarding his point of view, the King of Korea also felt that it was reasonable. Yes, you must be wise when you should be wise.
However, he was unwilling to give up just like that. After weighing the situation, he decided to compete with Qi Jing first. If he was really defeated, he would consider surrendering.
Assess the situation and deal with it flexibly.
However, in Qi Jing's eyes, this is a sign of stubbornness that will not give up until the Yellow River is reached, and will not shed tears until the coffin is seen.
Since you refuse to bow your head, you have no choice but to attack forcefully. If you don't show some real strength, how can you be intimidated?
In short, if you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you do.
This is not only a military contest, but also a manifestation of psychological warfare. You must take action when it is time to take action without hesitation.
With Qi Jing's order, the siege officially began.
The reputation of the Mobei Army is indeed not overshadowed. Although it has not reached the level of deification where a god can kill a god or a Buddha can kill a Buddha, it still shows the extraordinary aura of king and domineering.
After only three days, the Goryeo army was a little overwhelmed.
The stubborn resistance they imagined did not materialize in reality.
Naturally, the King of Korea didn't know that this was Jin Liufu's deliberate move. Without his behind-the-scenes operations, how could the Goryeo army be so miserable?
It can be seen that Qi Yu's magical assist had a very good effect. Although it could not determine the direction of the war, it effectively reduced the casualties of the Mobei Army.
After this battle, the King of Korea seemed to have had his energy drained away and turned into a frost-beaten eggplant.
Ah, the Mobei Army is indeed extremely powerful and unmatched by just a few people!
Since they couldn't fight to the death, Kaicheng had to surrender.
At this time, Jinliufu, who was satisfied with the proposal, put forward this initiative on behalf of the king. Moreover, he also conducted in-depth analysis, listed the pros and cons, and made plans with the ministers.
The final result is that surrender is indeed the best!
This news not only reached the Qiongjun military camp who was watching, but also reached the ears of the remnant Donglu army.
According to the current situation, there are not many options for the latter to survive.
If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him, and it seems that you can only try to escape.
However, Goryeo is a peninsula, bordering Daebong on one side and oceans on the other three sides. With such a geographical location, where can you escape?
For the Donglu landlubbers who dominate the world on horseback, HNA's method is unthinkable.
Not to mention that there is no big ship in hand, even if there is one, no one in the army knows how to control it.
Ruling out this possibility, it seems that the only option is to follow the example of Goryeo and lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally.
No matter how unwilling the Donglu people are, they can only accept the reality.
After sighing with emotion, they delivered the surrender documents to Qi Yu's hands.
It says: A general who has lost his army cannot speak of courage; a great man who has subjugated his country cannot dare to survive. All I ask is that Shaobao can be kindly given a place to live, so that we can herd horses and herd sheep and end our remaining lives, and so on.
After Qi Yu read the document, not only did he not show happiness, but he became alert.
His reaction also aroused the curiosity of bystander Huang Fei.
"Sir Qi, the Donglu people have already submitted the letter of surrender, and we have finally got our long-cherished wish. But why are you frowning instead?"
"Before, I felt that the Donglu were at the end of their game. As long as they could be conquered militarily, they would fall apart. From then on, it would be impossible to make waves again. However, the sentence in this article about living in an inch of land, herding horses and sheep, is It reminds me that there are still some possible hidden worries.”
Their words...
Isn't that normal?
If someone surrenders unconditionally, you must give them a corresponding place to stay. Otherwise, what is the point of people surrendering?
Anyone else would have offered similar conditions in order to try to gain a chance of survival.
As for the Donglu people, who were not good at crafts and did not understand farming, they seemed to have no choice but to find a way to make a living by herding horses and sheep. Is it possible that you still let them make cannons?
Seeing that Huang Fei had some misinterpretations, Qi Yu took the initiative to explain: "Donglu are a nomadic people, and their people never leave horses in their lives. In other words, as long as they With a horse in hand, there is the possibility of a resurgence.”
"A horse? Resurrection?" Upon hearing this, Lao Huang couldn't help but his eyes flashed, as if he realized something.
For nomads, horses are not only their legs for action, but also their military trump card.
As long as you hold this trump card in your hand, you will have a chance to make a comeback.
And this is the hidden worry Qi Yu mentioned just now.
Huang Fei thought for a moment and asked, "In Master Yi Qi's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"
Qi Yu smiled coldly and said: "They killed too much and only Buddhism can cleanse them. Therefore, I suggest that they all become monks to atone for their sins."
"Haha... This is a good idea, very creative. As long as they enter the temple gate, they will never have the chance to wield knives or guns."
"In addition to the above, I also require them to surrender from the city with a special ceremony. Otherwise, I will not accept it."
present?
What kind of gift?
"Without him, it's the legendary sheep-taking ceremony!"
"You mean..."
"At the beginning, their ancestors ravaged China with extremely cruel methods. And when they surrendered, they used this sheep-taking ceremony that hurt people's self-esteem. History is like a shuttle, time flies, and now, they are treating people in their own way. When you are a human being. How you treated others in the past is how you will be treated now! Be fair, just and reciprocate."
