"Okay! That's right!" Shoujun Oishi responded and hurried back to his ship. Both sides lowered the original flags and replaced them with the red flags commonly used by the Tang army. Mononobe Renxiong stood in front of everyone and said loudly: " The eldest brother, the prince, is unjust, killing ministers indiscriminately, and slaughtering the royal family. From now on, I, the Mononobe clan, will be loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Those who beat the drums and wave the white flags now are the enemy!"
As the drums and trumpets sounded, the warships of the Monobe clan and the Morijun clan suddenly changed their flags and attacked the surrounding Japanese ships that were still flying white flags. The unsuspecting Japanese ships were attacked by the two warships. Being killed was caught off guard, and there was a sudden commotion and chaos.
Flagship of the Tang Army.
"Hey!" Master Sun Ren suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Wang Canjun, look at the behavior of the Japanese over there. It's a bit strange! Why are they killing each other?"
Through the thick smoke, fire and battlefield, Wang Wenzuo could only see vaguely, but a strong wind happened to blow by, blowing away a lot of the smoke. Only then did he see Yi Zhi's two ships, and hesitated for a moment: " General Sun, those must be the Japanese troops who turned against us! Look, they have changed their red flags!"
"Defection?" Master Sun Ren was stunned and immediately responded: "Wang Canjun, you already have an insider among the Japanese?"
"Before the war started, the Japanese did come secretly, but I don't know if it was true or not! So the general just said a few perfunctory words and didn't take it seriously!"
"Yes!" Master Sun Ren nodded: "You are right to do this. The Japanese thieves are cunning and cunning. Who knows if it is a counter-insurgency plan. Pass on the order. Anyone who dares to block the army will be killed without distinction between red and white!"
"General Sun is really experienced!" When Wang Wenzuo heard this, he already knew that Master Sun Ren was a little dissatisfied with him for not telling him in advance about the Japanese internal response. He smiled and said: "However, in this battle on the river, the Japanese were defeated, and the chief credit was given to the commander. Your Majesty, General Sun of the Zhou division. If more Japanese surrender, you will be more glorious!"
Seeing that Wang Wenzuo had surrendered, Master Sun Ren felt a little better and said, "Well, the rivers were stained with blood from the killing of thieves today, which is enough to scare the thieves. It doesn't matter if we kill more or less. Just follow what Wang Shenjun said. Come on, let these Japanese thieves see the kindness of the Tang Dynasty!"
By noon, the battle on the river had come to an end. Broken ship fragments and corpses were everywhere on the river. The desperate Japanese soldiers dropped their weapons and kowtowed to the oncoming Tang army warships to beg for mercy. Many Japanese ships fled to On the shore, the boats were stranded, and the soldiers went ashore to escape. There were even a few boats that somehow passed through the Tang army's lines and rushed ashore under Zhouliu City. The people on the boats abandoned the boats and fled into the city. But in fact, the results of the two are not much different. The Japanese soldiers who came ashore have lost their basic organization. The most important thing is that after the destruction of the boat division, these Japanese people were already rootless trees. They were in a foreign country with no language and no supplies. Their destruction was just a matter of time.
Mononobe Renxiong and Shoujun Oishi sent envoys a little later. After boarding the Tang Army's flagship, he knelt down as soon as he boarded the deck. After kneeling for more than ten steps, he kowtowed to Sun Renshi and Wang Wenzuo for more than ten times. Size. Through his report, Wang Wenzuo learned that in addition to the two people's headquarters, there were many other Japanese who had defected and begged for surrender. There were nearly ten thousand people in total, more than a hundred boats of various sizes, and countless weapons and armor of various kinds. What should be done next? They asked Master Sun Ren to show them how to behave.
"These two are very clever!" Sun Renshi smiled and said to Wang Wenzuo: "Wang Canjun, what do you think should be done?"
"Let them temporarily accommodate the Japanese defeated troops first!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "As for how to deal with it, it is best to wait until Governor Liu and Governor Liu are informed and discuss it together before making a decision!"
"What Wang Shenjun said makes sense!" Master Sun Ren nodded: "However, their surrender may not be out of sincerity at the moment. It is probably forced by the situation. If it is delayed like this, things may change later."
"what do you mean?"
"Let those two people come to the camp at night to meet us!" Master Sun Ren said with a smile: "Since you sincerely surrender, you won't even dare to come, right?"
Wang Wenzuo let out a long breath, and the smile on Sun Renshi's face was still there, but it had a different meaning at this time. His concerns about Mononobe Renkuma and Morijun Oishi were not surprising. There were too many examples of surrendering due to circumstances during the war and then turning back after the situation changed. Even if these two people sincerely surrendered, how many of the more than 10,000 people under their command have sincerely surrendered? Will someone attack the Tang army after dark, or escape by boat? In this case, the best way is to ask Mononobe Renxiong and Morijun Oishi to come to the camp in person. If they come, they can control it. At least their own troops will not dare to move. If If you don't come, you have some evil intentions in your heart. Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese are still in shock, you can wipe them all out with one blow, but you will end up feeling relaxed and happy.
"What's wrong? Does Wang Canjun think my approach is bad?" Master Sun Ren said with a smile.
"No!" Wang Wenzuo quickly lowered his head: "General Sun's method is very good, but in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, can you send an interpreter from one of the generals' subordinates to go with you!"
"Interpretation? Just think you can do it!" Sun Renshi had no patience for this issue now. He waved his hand: "Wang Canjun, I have known you for some time, and I think you are quite a good person, so I Say a few thoughtful words. You are good at everything, but you are too kind to those barbarians. We men of the Tang Dynasty have hearts as steel and hands as steel. These barbarians are like grass, they will grow again after being cut. If you come out, you'll be killed, why do you have to be so mother-in-law?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzuo knew that Sun Renshi was doing this out of his kindness. Some differences could not be explained in just a few words. In a sense, Sun Renshi's views might be more realistic in this era. Some. He dealt with Master Sun Ren for a few words, stepped aside and asked Sangqiu to call Monk Dinghui, narrated the situation just now, and finally said: "Master, please run over and tell the two leaders what happened just now. Let them come to our army camp before dark to pay homage to the Governor, otherwise they will be considered as a false surrender, and they will regret it if they meet at war with each other at that time!"
Monk Dinghui listened to Wang Wenzuo's words, but did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at Wang Wenzuo in silence, which made Wang Wenzuo feel a little scared: "What's wrong, Zen Master? Time is running out, why don't you prepare?"
"Wang Canjun, could what you are talking about be a trap?" Dinghui asked, "Let me trick those two people here, and then you Tang people will start and kill those more than 10,000 people!"
