Tadun said a lot, but when he finished the last sentence, he grabbed his right hand with all his strength and slowly let go. His eyes widened, but there was no trace of sparkle in them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Feeling the loss of Tadun's vitality, Wu Gan knelt directly in front of the couch, and a generation of Wuhuan heroes fell into the city of Kuiping.
Just when Wu Gan was grieving for Tadun, the noise came from outside again.
"Sir, the soldiers outside are in chaos, and they want the king to give them an explanation."
A personal guard entered the house directly, saluted Wu Gan with fists in his hands, and reported the situation outside.
"Send the order and ask all the commander-level officials in the army to come here. I will give them an explanation."
Wu Gan sat dejectedly in front of Tadun's couch, his eyes no longer filled with the original ambition.
Seeing Wu Gan like this, the bodyguards were also stunned. Why did the lord, who was so happy just now, look like this now? Could it be said?
"If there's anything good to see, go there quickly."
Seeing the bodyguard glance at the couch, Wu Gan felt upset for no reason.
"yes,"
The personal guards quickly came outside and conveyed Wu Gan's order. After hearing this order, the captains also met directly and entered the county government office.
When the general entered the door, he only saw Wu Gan in the hall, but did not see Tadun, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
"Wugan, we want to see His Majesty."
"Yes, I want to hear what His Majesty means."
"My tribe has been captured. I recommend surrendering immediately."
A group of people were chattering there, talking to each other, and Wu Gan couldn't help but look cold as he looked at the people in front of him.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Wu Gan directly shouted at everyone, asking him to quiet down.
Among the Wuhuan tribe, apart from Tadun, the one with the highest prestige belongs to Wugan. Now that he is angry, everyone is a little scared.
"Your Majesty has returned to the grassland."
Wu Gan directly dropped a bombshell among the crowd, Tadun died?
How is this possible? No one believes it at all.
"Your Majesty is in good health, how can you just say that you are gone?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"It's impossible for Your Majesty to leave so easily, it's impossible."
Words of doubt rang out, but Wu Gan didn't explain. He just stared at everyone coldly to see how long they could stay as monsters.
As time went by, everyone changed from disbelief at the beginning to hesitation. In the end, everyone stopped talking and just looked at Wu Gan in front of them.
"I'm telling you again, His Majesty has returned to the grassland. His body is in the house. You can go and see it after I finish talking. Also, I don't want anyone to interrupt me when I'm talking. Do you understand?"
Seeing everyone stop, Wu Gan spoke.
"The king issued an order, and the Wuhuan tribe surrendered to the Han Dynasty and merged into the Han Dynasty.
Likewise, the target of the Han is not us but Xianbei. His Majesty wants us to join the Han’s army and help them attack Xianbei in exchange for the Han’s forgiveness of the Wuhuan tribe.
This is the last thing His Majesty wants to say, is there anything else you want to say?"
After Wu Gan finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. He didn't finish all of Tadun's words because there were some things that he simply didn't dare and couldn't say to these people.
"Your Majesty wants us to surrender?
Does that mean what Gao Lan said is true?"
A captain looked at Wu Gan and directly raised his question.
"Your Majesty believes that what Gao Lan said is true. We have already lost this battle. We have been completely defeated. Since we have lost, we must admit it. This is why Your Majesty wants us to surrender."
Now there is nothing to hide. Tadun has returned to the grassland and has given the order to surrender. Now it doesn't matter if he admits that the enemy may have taken over his tribe.
"Then let's surrender."
"Yes, surrender. Wuhuan is gone and we have no hope."
"I just hope that the big man can treat our tribe a little better."
Now everyone had nothing to say and unanimously agreed to follow Tadun's arrangement and surrender to the big man.
"Well, since everyone agrees, let's go see the king off on his last journey."
Wu Gan gave way to the passage and allowed these Wuhuan generals to enter the house to pay their respects to Tadun's body.
These Wuhuan generals also nodded, and then entered the house in batches to see Tadun one last time.
After all this was done, all the Wuhuan people knew that Tadun had passed away and announced the surrender of the entire clan.
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that they are already exhausted now. If they really have to fight the Han cavalry outside the city, not even one out of ten people will survive. Now their family members have also been killed.
If the Han cavalry takes prisoners, is there any point in fighting them?
While the Wuhuan people were arranging Tadun's body and discussing the details of the surrender, Yuan Shu worked day and night and finally reached the outside of Qianping.
When he learned that Yuan Shu was arriving with his troops, Gao Lan did not dare to neglect and immediately came out to greet him.
"Lord, thank you for your hard work."
Gao Lan looked at Yuan Shu and saluted him directly with cupped fists.
"Don't talk about useless things. It's just a journey for a few days. What's the point of hard work? How about it?
How is Kuai Ping City doing?"
Yuan Shu didn't care at all about these frivolous things. What he was most concerned about now was Tadun in Kuiping City and the more than 30,000 Wuhuan troops who followed him north.
"They haven't come out since they entered Kuiping City. I also tried to persuade them to surrender. At the same time, I also told the news that their tribe was captured by us. I believe the city has already exploded."
Gao Lan glanced at Yuan Shu. He knew that his lord was pragmatic, so he directly told all the current situation.
"oh?
Attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority. This is not like what you, Gao Lan, Gao Boyu, can do."
Hearing that Gao Lan had learned how to fight psychologically, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu and Lu Su who were following him. It must have been done by the two of them.
"How can I say that attacking the city is the priority and attacking the heart is the priority? These are all suggestions from Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the two staff officers you sent here."
Gao Lan knew that Yuan Shu had long seen that this was not his ability, so he directly pushed Zhou Yu and Lu Su out.
"Haha, it seems you two did not disappoint me. Do you think things will turn around in this city in a few days at most?"
Yuan Shu nodded to Gao Lan, and then asked the two of them.
"As soon as one day or as long as three days, the situation in Kuiping City will inevitably change."
Now that Yuan Shu asked himself a question, Zhou Yu also thought about it and gave this answer directly.
"oh?
So sure?"
Hearing Zhou Yu's affirmative answer, Yuan Shu also smiled slightly. It is good for young people to have confidence, but overconfidence is not good.
"Whether they believe or not that their home base has been raided by my mother, they will definitely take action. If I hesitate, if I don't choose to surrender, I will break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.
Because every extra day we wait, the risk of Wuhuan soldiers bombing the camp increases, so I said it could be one day at the earliest and three days at the most."
Faced with Yuan Shu's questions, Zhou Yu was quite confident. If he had been Tadun, he would have broken out as soon as possible after receiving the information revealed by Gao Lan, and would not have wasted such a long time at all.
"Then let's just sit back and wait. The troops just arrived and are a little tired. Let's see when our Wuhuan canary will break out of the cage and truly face death."
Yuan Shu was very satisfied with Zhou Yu's explanation. His speculation was correct. As long as Tadun was not stupid, he would never sit back and watch the news of his walk spread among the soldiers. All he could do was seize the time to break out of the encirclement.
"promise."
After hearing Yuan Shu's order, the army went directly to their camp.
As soon as Yuan Shu entered the camp, the gate of Kuiping City opened behind him. Wu Gan led twenty or thirty horsemen, hoisted white flags, left the city, and ran towards Gaolan Camp.
"For what?"
As soon as Wu Gan came out, he was surrounded by scouts wandering outside.
"Wugan, a native of Wuhuan, came to surrender to the Han on behalf of the Wuhuan people."
Looking at the Han cavalry surrounding him, Wu Gan directly revealed his identity and purpose of coming.
"Surrendered?
Take them to the camp."
Hearing that these people came to surrender, the scout team leader did not dare to neglect and immediately took Wu Gan to the camp to meet Gao Lan.
"My lord, someone from Kuengping has come, saying they are coming to surrender to us on behalf of the Wuhuan tribe."
Soon the scouts spread the news to Gao Lan's camp.
"Haha, Gongjin, congratulations on guessing it."
When Yuan Shu heard the news from the scouts, he looked directly at Zhou Yu who was sitting on the side.
"Lord, although I thought that there would be changes in the situation in Kuiping City, I thought that there might be a chaotic battle, and then Tadun would lead his troops to break out. But what I didn't expect was that they would surrender. This is a bit unreasonable. There must be something going on inside."
Zhou Yu glanced at Yuan Shu, but couldn't help but frown. In his opinion, the surrender of the Wuhuan people was beyond his expectation. This feeling of being out of control made him somewhat irritable.
"Gong Jin is right. There may be something unexpected happening in Kuiping City, such as Tadun being killed."
Guo Jia glanced at Zhou Yu on the side. He understood Zhou Yu's depression. After all, he had planned well, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly acted out of common sense, which was very uncomfortable.
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Gao Lan were all stunned.
"Fengxiao is right. Tadun can unify the Wuhuan grassland. He is definitely not an easy person. And such people must know the consequences of their surrender.
For ordinary Wuhuan people, there may be no difference, but for Tadun, it symbolizes death.
Because I will definitely not let go of a bandit leader who has invaded the Han Dynasty, Tadun will definitely not choose to surrender, but now the Wuhuan people have sent an envoy over,
There's something fishy about this, so there's probably something wrong with Tadun."
Yuan Shu agreed very much with Guo Jia's words. Now Tadun must know his situation. Surrendering would mean life or death for him, so the Wuhuan people's surrender must be related to Tadun.
"There is no point in arguing about this now. We will find out when the Wuhuan envoy comes."
