Chapter 113 Surrender
"Long live the leader! Long live General Huo!" Huo Gang was surrounded by ordinary Turks, and almost all the Turks in this tribe came over. When Huo Gang finished talking to Lemu, no one outside took the lead and shouted first.
Soon, there were warm cheers from the Turkic crowd around them. They almost all spoke Chinese. Although their accent was not that standard, Huo Gang could understand it.
Amatuo and the others did not shout, but stood respectfully behind Huo Gang. Huo Gang stood in the middle of the crowd with a smile. Amatuo and the others looked at Huo Gang. He knew that when Huo Gang's words were spread today, the entire Tongluo general would completely become Huo Gang's subjects and there would be no more surprises.
Even if the people from the Western Turkic royal court came, they could not change this.
"Okay, everyone will do your work first. As for the Peacock Sea, don't worry. If the people of Loulan do not repent, even if the Peacock Sea is dry, I will find a place with more abundant water and grass for you!" Huo Gang said loudly with a smile.
"Yes! Leader." All the Turks responded loudly.
They soon bent down to Huo Gang to salute, and then they dispersed to do their own things, but each of them had a smile on their faces. Unlike the numbness of the past, their faces were full of hope for the future for the first time.
Ten days passed quickly. From the next day, the water surface of the Peacock Sea was constantly decreasing. When the time reached the 10th day, all the water sources of the entire Peacock Sea were completely dried up. In the first few days, the water surface faded had even been dried by the sun, so people could walk.
In fact, Loulan had not waited until the tenth day or the fifth day, Loulan had already sent someone over, but Huo Gang did not see them and directly blocked them from a distance and asked them to go back.
When it was the tenth day, Huo Gang led his army to Loulan again.
This time, when Huo Gang was still far away from Loulan, he saw the crowd outside Loulan. To be precise, the dense crowd was kneeling on the ground, and everyone in Loulan came out. Amatuo, who was following Huo Gang, looked at the scene in front of him with shock.
Tens of thousands of people knelt neatly on the ground, with some gold, silver, treasures, cattle and sheep in front of them, and the king of Loulan Bosa took the lead in kneeling in front.
Everyone in Loulan knelt on the Gobi Desert outside. When Huo Gang walked to Bosa, Bosa was in a daze. When he saw Huo Gang, he kowtowed again and said in a dry tone: "General Huo, I surrender to you on behalf of Loulan. Please take back the punishment! This is all the wealth of our Loulan."
"You once said that if we repent here, we will have a future. We have been kneeling here since yesterday to repent to you. Loulan has shown loyalty to you. As long as you are willing to let them go, I am willing to pay any price."
Bosa's voice was not loud, but it could be heard from his voice that they had indeed been kneeling for more than a day.
"I saw your sincerity." Huo Gang nodded slightly, then said: "Punish you to make you understand your mistakes. Only when you deeply recognize your mistakes will your future be brighter."
"Actually, I don't care whether you Loulan surrenders, because I don't lack you believers. The reason I punish you is because I don't want to watch the life of this land gradually fades away, and the original forests and grasslands are gradually swallowed up by the desert."
Huo Gang's words made Bosa feel relieved. He didn't know if what Huo Gang said was true, but he could only listen to it seriously. As long as Huo Gang was willing to forgive them, everything would be easy to say.
Bosa did not dare to doubt Huo Gang's words, because Bosa felt that Huo Gang was really a god.
"Let them all get up. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, you will have a bright future." Huo Gang said lightly.
No one dared to object to Huo Gang's words, at least the Loulan people dared not. When Huo Gang led his army by their side, all the Loulan people did not even dare to look at Huo Gang.
There was no accident in accepting Loulan, and the Loulan people had lost any willingness to resist.
Huo Gang asked Huo Zheng to lead his troops to pass messages to all the Loulan people, asking them to go home first.
"General Huo... what else do you have to do?" At this moment, Huo Gang was sitting in the palace of Loulan, while Bosa sat down nervously.
He didn't know how Huo Gang would arrange him, but Bosa really didn't know what to do at this moment. Loulan could be said to live on the Peacock Sea. With the drying of the Peacock Sea, although the river flowed into the West did not cut off, the water flow had been reduced to a state where it was about to cut off at any time.
"Restore Loulan's normal life and just pretend that nothing has happened." Huo Gang said lightly.
"But..." Bosa smiled bitterly, when nothing happened? How could it be that such a large sea of peacock has completely dried up, how could it be that nothing happened?
That was the lifeblood of Loulan, how could they think nothing happened?
"Since I have the ability to dry it up, I have the ability to restore it, but the punishment I give you cannot be cancelled like this. It will only gradually recover after two months. If you don't know your mistakes within two months, the Peacock Sea will never recover." Huo Gang said calmly.
Hearing this, Bosa finally breathed a sigh of relief. Two months... If it were only two months, they could of course stick to it. As for what Huo Gang said about their mistakes, Bosa no longer wanted so much.
He had made up his mind, no matter what Huo Gang said, they would be right to listen to.
When leaving Loulan, Huo Gang did not leave any soldiers, but just left a sentence: If they prayed devoutly enough within two months and would not make the previous mistakes again, then the Peacock Sea could return to its former appearance, otherwise, the Peacock Sea would dry up forever.
After leaving this sentence, Huo Gang left directly. As for how they understood it, it was their business.
After getting Loulan, Huo Gang had to return to Yumen Pass. Calculate the time, the things Zheng Ning sent should have arrived, or even arrived, but Huo Gang was not worried. It should not be a big problem with Wu Ping and the others there.
However, there are some things that Huo Gang still needs to go back.
