Chapter 33 Messenger

Yang Wenguang looked at the person standing in front of him. Although he was wearing a foreigner's clothes and dressed in a foreigner's style, his face was white and his three-collar black beard was like a teacher. Such people must be knowledgeable and often deal with Han people without asking.

"Who are you in the city? Why do you want to see me?"

Zhuang Lang's master said, "In Xiazhuang Lang's master, he is not a person in the city, but a person from the Zhuanglang tribe. Heishan Governor, also the leader of the tribe, Zhuang Lang, came to meet the commander of the Song army. I wonder what the general is called?"

Yang Wenguang said: "Yang Wenguang is the front-line commander here. Just tell me what you have."

"It turned out to be General Yang. Lingzu traveled across several states back then, and everyone who heard about it was scared. He was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty. After he joined the Song Dynasty, he still led troops to fight. Daibei knew that his bravery was called "Yang Wudi".

The officials in the city guessed that the person who led troops outside the city was Zhao Zi from Yunneizhou, and Zhuang Langmai Bao guessed that it was Du Zhongxiao, but unexpectedly it was Yang Wenguang, which made Zhuang Lang not know what to do. He could not say the words he had originally thought of.

When Yang Wenguang saw Master Zhuang Lang's expression, hesitated and was a little unhappy, and said, "What do you have to say?"

Master Zhuang Lang tried to ask: "Dare you ask General Yang, I wonder where Du Jingluo can be here?"

Yang Wenguang said: "Not here."

Master Zhuang Lang hesitated for a while before saying, "I am not underestimating the general. This matter is really important and you need to meet Du Jinglei."

Yang Wenguang looked at Master Zhuang Lang and said lightly: "It depends on what you are going to say, whether it is worth it."

Zhuang Langshidao gritted his teeth, looked at the personal soldiers in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Please wait for the general to retreat!"

Yang Wenguang waved his hand and ordered his personal soldiers to withdraw from the tent, saying, "Tell me, I have become the winner of the front line!"

Zhuang Lang was hesitant and said, "General, Governor Zhuang Lang wants to offer Wu Shuhai City to return to Song Dynasty! This matter is important, I hope that I will let you meet Du Jingluo negotiable! Governor Zhuang Lang is not only the governor of the Heishan Military Supervisor Department, but also the leader of our Zhuang Lang division. It is related to thousands of accounts of Zhuang Lang division. You must meet Du Jingluo. Only after he personally promised, Governor Zhuang Lang dared to offer the city!"

"Xiancheng?" Yang Wenguang stood up, thought for a while, turned to face Master Zhuang Lang and said. "If Governor Zhuang Lang really wants to Xiancheng, you can meet the people. The ugly words are ahead. If it is a false statement, use this to delay our attack on the city. This matter will involve Zhuang Lang's tribe. Do you know the consequences?"

Seeing that Master Zhuang Lang did not speak, Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice: "God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and the one who is a kind and righteous person is a benevolent army. Since the army was established, he has never killed many people. However, if you use false sacrifices to delay the war, the entire Zhuang Lang tribe will definitely enter the prison city, and there will be no Zhuang Lang tribe from now on!"

Seeing Yang Wenguang's stern expression, Master Zhuang Lang was so scared that he trembled and hurriedly bowed: "General, don't worry, the governor is sincere in offering the city!"

Yang Wenguang nodded, looked at Master Zhuang Lang for a while, and then said, "You go down and rest first, and you will take you to see the strategy tomorrow morning."

Master Zhuang Lang said: "The matter is urgent, why not meet Du Jingluo overnight?"

Yang Wenguang said: "No need to say too much, just follow the instructions."

After saying that, he ordered his personal soldiers to come in and take Zhuang Lang to rest. He also ordered another personal soldiers to call Shisanlang.

Shisanlang entered the commander's tent and said to Yang Wenguang: "I saw it on a high place today. I was really not satisfied. The enemy had just left the city and had not yet formed a formation. The general rushed back with a burst of cannons! Why not order the cavalry to go up and kill for a while!"

Yang Wenguang asked Shisanlang to sit down and said, "The strategy repeatedly taught us that the most important thing in fighting between the two is to win, not kill and injure. At that time, the art of arts was fired because Dangxiang had many crossbowmen, which was as mentioned in the art of war. After this battle, the defenders in the city would inevitably be frightened and would not dare to fight with our army again. When the artillery was in place, they would blow the city to pieces and save a lot of effort."

Shisanlang sighed: "Since the artillery was available, wars were all about artillery. Infantry was not fought, and our cavalry could only watch. If it was a field battle, we could still pursue the enemy's defeated soldiers. Now it is a siege, and there is no need to fight such a war."

Yang Wenguang smiled and said to Shisanlang: "Maybe there really is no need to beat him. A man came out on the city wall just now, saying that he was the elder of Zhuang Lang's tribe. He was entrusted by Zhuang Lang, the governor of the city, to see the strategy and offer the city."

Shisanlang was surprised: "The Party and Xiang soldiers in the city are so bad, so we should offer the city?!"

Yang Wenguang said: "I don't think he looks like a fake. The General Dangxiang may really be going to offer the city. This is reasonable. He is the governor of Dangxiang and the leader of Zhuanglang's tribe. Once the Heishan Division was broken, the Zhuanglang's tribe had no support. If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on the court."

Shisanlang thought for a while and said, "I remember this Zhuanglang tribe north of Montenegro, which is the largest tribe in this area. Is it so unhealthy?"

Yang Wenguang laughed and said, "How many households are there in the largest tribe? General, they have more than 3,000 entries, but how many soldiers can a household in a county in the mainland raise? We even killed the Khitan emperor, defeated the Khitan army of 100,000, and forced more than 100,000 to retreat. His few heads dare to fight us!"

After hearing this, Shisanlang's heart arose, and said, "Yes, we will defeat Chongyuan and kill Zong Zhen again. We will defeat more than 100,000 soldiers of Dangxiang in succession and force more than 100,000 troops to retreat. Such great victory is unparalleled for decades! What kind of foreign tribes are like a native chicken and a tile in front of us. But these great victory is not enough, but I don't want the governor in the city to have knowledge and offer the city early."

Yang Wenguang nodded: "Yes, I have won consecutive victories, but I have never fought in the battle formation. How could such a thing happen before? Thinking about it, it's like a dream. Perhaps this is how the war will be like in the future, no longer like before. Tomorrow morning, you will take your elite subordinates to escort this Master Zhuang Lang to the Tiande Army and meet with the people. Although the foreign troops in this area have been swept away, there will inevitably be fish that will be arrested, and everything is cautious on the way."

Shisanlang said: "Behind is our food road, the cavalry has been patrolling, and there are many big chariots. What's the accident? By the way, how many people will I bring tomorrow? If there is a big battle here, keep more."

Yang Wenguang said: "If this person is right, the enemy is going to sacrifice the city, what big battle can there be? Taking five hundred people to the city will be aware of accidents on the road, it can also cover up people's eyes. The governor Xiancheng, the generals below may not obey, so don't miss the news."

Thirteen Lang said that there were five hundred cavalrymen, and no Dangxiang tribe could fight, and the largest Zhuanglang tribe could not do it.

Before dawn the next day, Yang Wenguang called Zhuang Lang and pointed at Shisanlang and said, "This is the general of the cavalry leader of this army. You can follow him to see the strategy. Listen to the general's command on the road, and don't make any troubles."

Master Zhuang Lang dared not dare to ask strangely: "Isn't Du Jinglei here?"

Shisanlang said, "What are you asking about? What is your identity as a manager? How many major things are waiting for him to do? What is the little Wushuhai City!"

Master Zhuang Lang saw that Shisanlang was tall and like a god, and he spoke harshly, so scared that he didn't dare to ask again.

After saying goodbye to Yang Wenguang, Shisanlang ordered five hundred cavalry and took Zhuang Lang's road. He walked quickly all the way and headed south. He ate some dry food on the way and worked non-stop. In the evening, he arrived at the city of Tiande Army.

Seeing that Ai Kai was sweating profusely, Shisanlang felt heartbroken, so he arranged his mount first before taking Master Zhuang Lang to the official office.

Zhuang Langshi then realized that Du Zhongxiao was in the Tiande Army, nearly two hundred miles away from the rear. In such a battle, the commander of the Song army could not fight back without visiting the front line. He did not know how Song had a fighting method.

After reading the Yang Wen letter brought by Shisanlang, Du Zhongxiao handed it to Han Qi and said, "I didn't expect that after a few shots, the General Dangxiang was about to offer it. My husband and I will go to meet this elder Zhuang Lang, how about it?"

Han Qi saw it and smiled and said, "He is here to see you. What am I going to do? It's just Zhuanglang tribe, a Hequ Road Strategy is enough!"

Putting down the book, Han Qi said, "If Zhuang Lang tribe really comes to surrender, Heishan Governor Xiancheng, what is the management of the situation?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It is the best strategy to defeat the army without fighting. The so-called "a thousand golds to buy horse bones, Zhuang Lang buried his fidelity and wanted to offer the city, so naturally he could not treat him badly. To the north of Black Mountain, it could still be the territory of the Zhuanglang tribe, and the soldiers and horses on the Hequ Road can also help him resist the White Tatars."

Han Qi nodded and said, "Doing this will win people's hearts. But aren't you afraid that Zhuang Lang's tribe will become a big shot?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "We have been promoting the nomadism on Hequ Road to Dingmaster. How can Zhuanglang tribe be exceptional? There is no need to force it. As long as the tribes of Dingmaster eat well and live well, these tribes will learn it. In the future, the grazing areas will mainly sell wool, and Dongshengzhou learns the volcanic army, spin wool, and weaving felts. How can he get used to exchange wool for food and various clothes?"

The two discussed this matter many times, and Han Qi nodded with a smile: "The wise man said it well. As long as the wool industry is established, the roots of the nomadic tribes will be broken. When the wool is replaced with food, the court will hold their rations, and no tribe can stand a blow! In this way, the wise man can agree that as long as Zhuanglang buried Baoxian City, the Zhuanglang tribe can get the support of the court and grab the territory of the white Tatars from the north! The two emperors of the Khitan were united at this time, and other places could not take care of it at all. Using Dangxiang to deal with the Tatars is a solution!"

Developing the wool industry allows nomadic tribes to obtain stable wealth, and then selling grain to them has changed their living environment. The court controlled the tribes and did not allow them to annex each other to prevent them from growing up. Du Zhongxiao entered Hequ Road and has planned a future governance plan. Sheep are mainly used, and the provision of essential materials and grass makes it possible to settle herds in this area. What guarantees their survival is the court's wool industry and grain, and no longer rely on tribes. The old production relations are changed with new productivity until the tribe disappears and is completely incorporated into the court's rule.
