Chapter 567: Wu Hai makes decision, Shen Tang is overjoyed
Two days passed in a hurry. During these two days, Orchard was not in any hurry. He followed Wu Teng around the military camp all day long.
However, if Uteng asked about other things, Orchard would remain silent.
After asking several times but receiving no response, Uto also lost interest.
On the evening of the next day, several fast horses returned at high speed from different directions and entered Wuhai's tent directly.
About an hour later, soldiers from Wuhai came looking for Orchard.
"I've met my uncle!"
As the soldiers entered the big tent, Wu Jie saluted and then sat aside, waiting for Wu Hai to speak.
However, Wu Hai looked a little dazed at this moment, nervous and a little frightened.
Yes, he did send people to verify some things in the past two days, and now, the results have been obtained.
Although some things are still vague, he has come to the conclusion that what Orchard said to him before was not false at all!
After a long while, Wu Hai let out a long breath, came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Wu Jie.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Hai said slowly: "Orchard, even if I agree to join the Song Army, it doesn't make any sense! Now the tribe is controlled by the clan leader. If we betray, we will become the enemies of the Qiang clan, and our family members will also be controlled by the clan leader. Waiting for execution."
After learning about the situation, Wu Hai really wanted to take refuge.
However, he is a Qiang after all and has a lot of involvement.
Wu Hai’s words made Orchard feel happy!
He immediately said, "Uncle, how can we betray the ethnic group by joining the Song army?
At most it’s just betrayal of Gu Wu.”
"In these years, as the clan leader, Gu Wu, have we, the Qiang people, really lived well?
All the benefits have been taken by the Guwu family, and they even want to pass on the position of patriarch to their own children regardless of the inheritance of the ethnic group."
"My uncle is often in the clan, so why can't he see how our clan members live?
What benefit does such a clan leader bring to the clan?"
"Now, for the sake of his own selfish interests, he has put the entire ethnic group in danger. Does my uncle still want to be loyal to him?"
"As for our family members, please don't worry, uncle. Guwu doesn't know what's going on here now. We have enough time to get our family members out. By the time he realizes it, he will no longer have the final say over the Qiang people."
Wu Hai looked shocked, and after a while he said, "You want to inherit the position of patriarch!"
He finally understood Orchard’s plan!
Orchard smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, if my nephew becomes the clan leader, he will definitely try his best to make profits for all clan members.
Moreover, I am not afraid that my uncle will know that the commander-in-chief has already promised me this.
Moreover, in the future, we, the Qiang people, will also have a place in Chengdu Prefecture!"
"The commander-in-chief has the discretionary power promised by the emperor, so he will not lie to me."
"Instead of seeking skin from the tigers with Tubo and other tribes, it is better to submit to the commander-in-chief now.
Otherwise, we Qiang people will never have this opportunity again..."
Wu Hai's expression changed for a while, and his vision gradually became firm!
If Orchard can really become the clan leader, it will be beneficial to him! Of course, the most important thing is that after understanding the current combat power of the Song Army and the participation of the Jin Kingdom in the war, he has almost concluded that the final winner of this war will be It will be the Song Dynasty.
Instead of waiting until things are clear to add icing on the cake, it is better to take advantage of the situation now and provide help in times of need! In this way, the Qiang people can also gain enough benefits from the Song army.
"good!"
Wu Hai shouted in a low voice, "Orchard, my uncle will give you his net worth and name.
The future of our Qiang people also depends on you.
You tell me what to do next, and my uncle will cooperate with you."
Finally, Wu Hai made the final decision!
Orchard was overjoyed when he heard this!
"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will definitely not let his uncle disappoint the clan!"
"Since uncle has made a promise, we might as well go and see the Marshal as soon as possible! The next step needs to be decided by the Marshal himself!"
Now that he had decided to surrender, Wu Hai did not hesitate.
So, taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them left the military camp with only a few close associates and hurried towards Ji Zongguan.
Inside Ji Zong Pass, Shen Tang was not thinking about the Qiang people, but was thinking about going south.
Although it was smooth sailing after entering Chengdu Mansion and there was not much damage on our side, the real battle was yet to come.
Even the battle outside Chengdu Prefecture has only been touched upon.
South of Chengdu Prefecture, not only are there a large number of Tibetan people, but also numerous local tribes.
The situation is much more complicated than in the north of Chengdu. How to break the situation is Shen Tang's top priority now.
"Commander, General Orchard is back!"
While Shen Tang was thinking, a soldier suddenly entered.
Shen Tang looked happy and said, "Okay, please come quickly!"
If Orchard can return smoothly, it means that the success of this trip is extremely likely.
Not long after, under the guidance of the soldiers, Wujia and Wuhai entered Shen Tang's tent!
"The general has met the commander-in-chief!"
Orchard saluted and said.
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "General Wu, thank you for your hard work on this trip!"
"It is a general's honor to serve the commander-in-chief!"
Wujie saluted again, and then said to Shen Tang, "Commander, this is Wu Hai, the commander of the Qiang army ahead, and the uncle of the last general! After the general's explanation, the uncle has agreed to join the commander-in-chief!"
"good!"
Shen Tang was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately stood up, stepped forward and took Wu Hai's arm and said, "Senior Wu Hai has worked hard for the tribe, and I admire him very much! I can guarantee that as long as the Qiang people can successfully surrender, we will never let the army conquer.
In addition, I told Orchard before that when Chengdu’s roads are pacified, there will definitely be a place for the Qiang people!”
After hearing Shen Tang's words, Wu Hai felt much less worried! After all, he was already standing here, and Shen Tang had no need to lie to him.
"I don't deserve the honorific title of Commander-in-Chief! Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely help Commander-in-Chief to make all other tribesmen submit to him, and help Orchard become the leader of the Qiang people, and finally join the Commander-in-Chief!"
Wu Hai said respectfully.
"Hahaha, okay! With your help, why worry that Chengdu Prefecture cannot be pacified?
We will talk about other things tomorrow.
Come, let’s serve the wine! I want you two to stay here until you’re drunk!”
Shen Tang laughed and said.
Afterwards, a banquet was quickly set up, and the two parties drank and drank, and the relationship between them became much more harmonious.
Early the next morning, Orchard and Wuhai quietly returned to the Qiang camp, and not long after, a small group of people left the camp and rushed towards Wenshan.
After this group of troops arrived at Wenshan, solved some of their worries, and contacted Ye Mao, they could quietly advance into Wenshan and attack Wenshan.
When the time comes, the empty Wenshan will be under Shen Tang's army. If they don't want to be destroyed together, they will have no choice but to submit obediently.
