I have said before that every era has its own ethos, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties were an era where heroes fought against each other and the generals were cruel and betrayed at every turn.
Yang Dayan is known as the most powerful general in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was reused by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but this was because of his extraordinary abilities.
He is from Qiuchi, different from Yuanying.
Yuanying was a clan member of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he was naturally extremely loyal to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Moreover, in his era, the Northern Wei Dynasty was still at its peak, and it was impossible for him to surrender to other forces.
With this kind of mentality, even in the world of China, Yuanying did not change at all. He subconsciously believed that he was the Zhongshan King of the Northern Wei Dynasty. When he met the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the future, he would lead an army to be loyal to the emperor.
But Yang Dayan was not from the Tuoba clan, and he did not have that much loyalty to the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
When it comes to endangering his own life and future, Yang Dayan can find another way out without hesitation. In fact, if it weren't for his familiarity with Yuanying, there would still be some of his subordinates in this army.
After Yang Dayan arrives, he may not necessarily find Yuanying, but there is a greater chance that he will find another Ming Lord.
Inside the camp.
There was silence, except for Yuan Ying's heavy breathing.
After holding back her anger, Yuanying finally regained her composure and had to admit that what Yang Dayan said was indeed good.
He discovered with some sadness that the Northern Wei army was in the Jianghuai area, and it was impossible to find the Emperor of the Northern Wei who had arrived.
Tuoba Tao, the Taiwu Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, would most likely come to Dai, Emperor Xiaowen, Xuanwu... If he was in Pingcheng like Tuoba Tao, it would be fine, but if he came to Luoyang, the end would definitely be bad.
"You are right, we should indeed prepare early!"
After a while, Yuan Ying took out a breath, as if he wanted to spit out the unwillingness in his heart.
Although surrendering before fighting the Huai army was a bit embarrassing.
But if we really wait until we are defeated by the Huai Army and Nanliang Army together, and we are at the end of our rope before surrendering, it will be too late.
At this time, Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan still controlled about 200,000 troops and horses, and they had considerable strength in their hands.
If you surrender to the Huai Army, you will definitely get good treatment.
Wait until the end of the road before surrendering. No, it would not be called surrendering at that time, but being captured... At this time, except for Yang Dayan who could be treated differently because of his strength, Yuanying could not make the decision on his own life or death.
"Someone is coming..."
Yuan Ying closed his eyes and took a few breaths, then called the military general and began to communicate with the military commander, telling everyone about his and Yang Dayan's decision.
Many of the generals and commanders in the Northern Wei army were the descendants of the heroes of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After hearing Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan's decision, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar and looked at each other.
However, like Yuan Ying, they were soon convinced by Yang Dayan's reasons.
Whether they are the descendants of the Tuoba clan or the heroes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they are all human beings, and they are afraid of death.
Knowing that this battle is bound to fail and that the army has no way out, they will definitely take responsibility for their own lives.
Surrender, just surrender.
As long as they can save their lives, with their strength, even if they surrender to the Huai Army, they can come forward again in the future.
After unifying opinions.
Yuanying sent an envoy to the north bank to ask for an audience with Murong Shaozong and Fu Youde.
"Yuanying and Yang Dayan, please surrender?"
After hearing the envoy's words, Murong Shaozong and Fu Youde also felt a little sudden.
But if you think about it seriously, they can understand each other.
Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan still had about 200,000 soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Huaihe River. They were not weak. It was not a trivial matter to ask for surrender. Murong Shaozong immediately reported the matter.
Half a day later.
Murong Shaozong, Fu Youde, and Xie Hui stood on the river bank and looked across. They could see the Northern Wei army's camp in the distance.
Next to them stood Xiao Yuanming who came from the Nanliang Military Camp.
After learning that the Huai Army was moving south, Xiao Yuanming acted as a messenger to deliver news and communicate between the Huai Army and Cao Jingzong.
"It's such a pity. I didn't expect Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan to be so obedient. They surrendered when they realized the situation was not good..."
Xiao Yuanming said with some regret.
He is also preparing to wait for the army to attack Yuanying and make some contributions to this battle.
"If you don't surrender, are you waiting to be besieged?"
Xie Hui said lightly.
His mood was somewhat similar to Xiao Yuanming's, feeling a little regretful that this rare opportunity to make a meritorious deed was lost. As a military advisor, he also needs merit to stabilize his position.
"Report!"
At this time, a cavalryman galloped over, "The king is coming, please generals to greet him quickly!"
"The king is here in person?"
Murong Shaozong and Fu Youde were immediately moved. They quickly got on their horses and ran towards the camp. As soon as they arrived at the camp, they saw the king's chariot and a thousand white horses accompanying the army.
Several people hurried to the big tent.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the King!"
After entering the big tent, several people immediately bowed down.
Wang Jing waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up. This time he came, except for a thousand white horse cavalry and general Zhang Hao, he did not bring many people with him.
The purpose is to come as soon as possible to deal with Yuanying's request to surrender.
"Yuan Ying asked for surrender. Did you put forward any conditions?"
Wang Jing asked directly.
Xie Hui took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the other party only wants to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that these soldiers can be divided into fields and given land like our army... Apart from this, there are no other conditions!"
Wang Jing looked slightly relieved after hearing this.
It is difficult to handle a situation like this where an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people surrendered directly. In the history of the origin world, due to lack of food and grass, Bai Qi captured hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers during the Battle of Changping and had to trap and kill them.
Also, after Xiang Yu's victory in the Battle of Julu, he was worried that the Qin army would cause rebellion, so he killed the 200,000 surrendered Qin army...
Wang Jing has enough food and confidence, so he doesn't need to worry about this.
But he was worried that there were too many soldiers who surrendered. If they were not demobilized and split up, these soldiers would easily form a small group and become a substantial semi-independent force after joining the Huai Army.
This is the case for the Nanliang Army that has not yet been reorganized.
Although Cao Jingzong, the general who suppresses the west, has joined the Huai Army, he has always been a bit aloof without reorganization.
If Yuanying also holds this idea.
Wang Jing would never agree. He would rather let Murong Shaozong and Cao Jingzong send troops to defeat him directly to avoid hidden dangers in the future.
"Okay! Since the other party has no additional conditions, I agree!"
"Xie Hui, you send an envoy to see Yuanying. Since he wants to surrender, let them let go of the camp and throw away their weapons!"
"I personally went to the Northern Wei camp and accepted their invitation to surrender!"
Wang Jing said in a deep voice.
Murong Shaozong's expression changed, and he wanted to persuade Wang Jing not to take risks, but then he thought about it, and the other party put down his weapons and opened the camp. With the strength of King Huai, nothing could happen.
So he kept his mouth shut and listened to Wang Jing's continuous orders.
