Chapter 1057: In the name of Shen Tang, invitation by the river
It took more than an hour for Elder Yobu to stop talking! Puller closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then asked slowly, "Elder Yobu, what do you think our chances of winning are if we face this Shen Tang!"
"Clan leader, don't worry, the warriors in our clan are invincible now, plus the affiliated tribes, there are more than 50,000 warriors! No matter how powerful Shen Tang is, he will not be our opponent of the Wumeng tribe!"
"real?"
Elder Yobu blinked and didn't understand why the clan leader would ask such a question, "Well... By the way, this Shen Tang is indeed a bit weird. Tens of thousands of troops defeated nearly 200,000 Tibetan troops! However, he They are far away in Chengdu, and why would they never come to us! As for the other soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, we have seen them before, and how often did they not return with the loss of soldiers and generals?"
"Haha..." Puller smiled, "Confirmed news has been sent that there are 5,000 troops in the south, 10,000 troops in the north, and 20,000 troops on the Shimen River due west of us! Its commander is none other than you. This Shen Tang I just mentioned!"
"Ah..." Amuyob was shocked. The invincible devil that those people said had actually arrived at the door of his house?
"How can this be?
Why did he come to Wumeng Mountain?"
"The specific purpose of his coming is still unknown. Maybe it is to make us surrender to the Song Dynasty, or maybe it is to exterminate our tribe! However, what happened to the four tribes in the east, including what happened to the Mahu tribe, should all be in the His hands have done it!”
"Do you think we can win this battle?"
Amuyob's expression changed. Even if he had only heard about Shen Tang's deeds, he was a little scared of his power!
"Clan leader, he only has about 30,000 soldiers and horses. Our warriors are twice as many as them. We also have the Yi Niang tribe and the Zhen Pan tribe to restrain us. No matter how powerful Shen Tang is, he can't do anything to us!"
"Besides the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, we have no way of knowing what other trump cards he has.
However, at least the Mahu, Yiniang, Mangbu, Atou and Wusa tribes are all under his control! Moreover, if necessary, soldiers and horses from the Song Dynasty can come continuously! Maybe it is Fifty thousand troops, maybe one hundred thousand! How do you think we can win this battle?"
Puller said in a deep voice.
"The number of soldiers and horses does not represent the outcome of the war, but judging from the current news, this Shen Tang is not one of those cowardly Song generals! He is not only brave, but also very resourceful!"
Amuyob's face was a bit pale. Indeed, the Song army was not scary, and neither was the enemy.
However, if these enemies are controlled by a commander as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a wolf, that would be the most terrifying thing.
"Clan leader, how do you know the name Shen Tang? Is the information wrong?"
Elder Job asked in a solemn voice.
Zha Le tapped his fingers on the letterhead on the table, "Look, this is the secret message sent to me by Shen Tang today!"
"ah!"
Elder Job exclaimed, “Secret message?
What does Shen Tang want to do?"
"He is currently stationed at Shimenjiang and invited me to meet him!"
"What does the patriarch think?"
Elder Job asked in great surprise!
"See!"
In the Chinese army's tent, Shen Tang was waiting for Lale's response! The reason why he wrote to Lale was for the two parties to meet! One was to find out the truth, and the other was to find a better solution. The Wumeng tribe's method! It's not that he has no way to cross the river. Even with the soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he is not familiar with the Wumeng tribe, he still has a good chance of winning.
But in this case, the damage to both parties will be huge, which is inconsistent with his original intention!
Moreover, too much killing can attract surrender, and can also bring hatred and hostility! The biggest reason why several other tribes successfully surrendered is that Shen Tang did not use killing to intimidate, but used softer methods. method.
Therefore, not only the warriors of several tribes, but also their clansmen, did not have much hostility towards the Song army. In this way, Shen Tang had a solid rear and support.
The Wumeng tribe is the largest tribe in this area. If the two sides bury hatred, it will have a great impact on other tribes and future plans.
Therefore, Shen Tang wanted to talk to King Wumeng in person!
"Report..."
"Commander, the Wumeng troops on the other side have made unusual movements!"
Shen Tang looked shocked. It seemed that the person he was waiting for had already arrived!
"Order all troops and horses to guard the camp and not move without permission! Order Wei Junming and Lei Zheng to each lead 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp to form an array! Order Shen Qiu to lead 2,000 cavalry out of the camp and stand by!"
About half an hour later, someone came to report again.
"Report to the Marshal, someone on the other side sent a message saying that King Wumeng was invited to come and meet the Marshal!"
"Hahaha!"
Shen Tang laughed loudly, "Prepare your horse!"
When Shen Tang arrived at the bank of the Shimen River, he saw a tribe of more than a thousand tribal warriors on the opposite side waiting in full formation. A man in the middle was surrounded and his face could not be seen clearly!
Shen Tang pinched the horse's belly and then walked towards the stone bridge!
"Commander!"
Shen Chou immediately led his troops forward, but Shen Tang waved his hand slightly, "You wait here and wait for orders!"
After that, one man and one horse walked towards the center of the stone bridge! After the people and horses on the opposite side made a commotion for a moment, the leader among them also came towards the direction of Shen Tang, alone.
The two walked to the middle and looked at each other!
"I, King Chale of Wumeng tribe, have met Shen Tang, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty!"
He dismounted his horse and bowed slightly to Shen Tang!
Although Shen Tang has never seen King Wumeng, he has heard descriptions of him from other tribes! As for whether someone will come pretending to be here, Shen Tang doesn’t have to worry at all! King Wumeng is the king of Wumeng Mountain. The king represents mystery and power! No one dares to pretend, and King Wumeng himself will not find a substitute to bring him endless trouble.
Shen Tang dismounted and held up his hands, "Song Dynasty Shen Tang, I have met King Wumeng!"
The two faced each other, and Shen Tang smiled and said, "The scenery here is beautiful, and it is rare to meet King Wumeng. I wonder if we can have a drink together?"
"I don't dare to delay the commander's elegance!"
Shen Tang waved behind him, "I have fine wine, but I want King Wumeng to bring me two wine cups. This is only fair!"
"good!"
Tuale also waved his hand and said, "The commander is indeed fair!"
Not long after, a simple wooden table was placed between the two of them, and they sat on the floor. Shen Tang opened the wine jar in front of him, and King Wumeng rinsed the two silver wine cups!
After filling up the clear wine, Shen Tang reached out to pick up one and raised his hands flat, "Honor King Wumeng!"
"boom!"
The wine cups clinked gently, and Lale said respectfully, "To the commander-in-chief!"
