Chapter 695: Outside Jiading Mansion, the two handsome men met
In this era, it was almost a common practice for two countries to take prisoners during war and use them for their own use.
Some generals even directly split up the prisoners and integrated them into their own armies to supplement and expand the number of soldiers under their command.
The only thing we need to worry about is how North Korea and China will react.
The group of people rode quickly and arrived outside Jiading Mansion in just half a day!
When Shen Tang arrived, Xin Qiji, Balumu, Teng Wu and others hurriedly came to pay their respects! After briefly talking to everyone, Shen Tang told everyone the purpose of coming.
Then, he walked out of the army alone and arrived a thousand steps away from the gate of Jiading Prefecture!
"Pito, go and send the message!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
Pito took the order, stepped forward, and shouted to the soldiers guarding above, "General Pito, please send a message to the brothers.
Just say that the general of the Song Dynasty has arrived outside the city at the invitation of the commander-in-chief, and I would like to invite the commander-in-chief to show up!"
Although the soldiers on the city wall didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly reported back.
"How is the situation outside the city?"
In the government office, all the Tubo generals gathered together, and Dawa Tata had already informed everyone of what had happened before and Medorijin's thoughts.
When they learned that Medorinkin planned to surrender, some people strongly opposed it, but some people agreed with it.
For a while, everyone was quarreling.
The message sent by the soldiers to report Pito made everyone present stop talking.
Hearing Dawa Tata's question, the soldier hurriedly said, "Sir, there is no movement from the Song army outside the city, but there is a man coming, alone a thousand steps away from the south gate!"
"oh?"
Dawa Tata responded, and then said to everyone present, "The commander-in-chief plans to go out of the city to meet the commander-in-chief of the Song Army! What do you think?"
"No adults!"
Even if some people object, "Who knows if the Song people may have any conspiracy?
What if the commander-in-chief went out of the city and was plotted by the Song people?
Therefore, it is better for the commander-in-chief to just stand on the city wall and shout to the other party!"
"This is inappropriate! In any case, the other general is here at your invitation. Now, since he dares to be alone outside Jiading Mansion, if you don't go, wouldn't it weaken our prestige?
The last general is willing to lead his troops and horses out of the city with the commander-in-chief. If the Song army moves unexpectedly, the last general will escort the commander-in-chief back to the city and block the Song army from the city gate even if it means risking his life!"
"You are in danger!"
"You are breaking your trust..."
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel again, Dawa Tata slammed the table to suppress everyone's words, and then said firmly, "I have decided to go out of the city to meet the Song Army General! However, you must be on guard at all times. If the Song army wants to raid the city gate, you don’t have to worry about me, the commander-in-chief, and just close the city gate."
"grown ups……"
"I have made up my mind!"
Dawa Tata waved his hand to stop everyone's words.
Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I know that you are not afraid of death, and I, the commander-in-chief, am not afraid of death either! If fighting to the death can be useful, why would I, the commander-in-chief, cherish this life?
However, we have no guarantee of victory now.
Moreover, if we bring our sons to the Song Dynasty, we have the obligation to take responsibility for their lives!"
At this point, he sighed and said dejectedly, "Whether we admit it or not, we have lost this battle! What's the point of persisting?
Therefore, if the conditions of the Song Army are not harsh, I will order the surrender!"
After that, he stood up and walked out of the room, ignoring the generals who were hesitant to speak!
Shen Tang waited outside the city for about two-quarters of an hour. Suddenly, the door of Jiading Mansion, which had been closed for many days, creaked open.
Then, a man and a horse came out of the city gate.
Seeing Dawa Tata leaving the city, Pito hurried forward and saluted, "General, I have met the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief of the Song Army is named Shen Tang. He is waiting in front for the commander-in-chief to arrive!"
Dawatata nodded slightly, then took a deep breath and rode forward.
Not long after, Shen Tang and Dawa Pagoda faced each other.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Dawa Tata raised his hands first and said, "You are the Commander-in-Chief of the Song Dynasty, Commander Shen Tang?"
Shen Tang smiled slightly, "Commander Shen Tang, I have met Commander Dawa Tata!"
"Although this is the first time that you and I have met, I have heard about Shuai Shen for a long time! However, I did not expect that Shuai Shen would be so young.
He is indeed a heroic young man, and I admire him! If I had known that the Song Dynasty had such a heroic figure as Commander Shen, I would have advised Zanpu not to provoke the Song Dynasty!"
"Commander, there is no need to say more. Some things are done once they are done.
Of course there is no room for regret!”
Shen Tang responded calmly.
Dawatata was startled, then nodded, "Not bad!"
After he finished speaking, for a moment he didn't know how to continue speaking!
After the two were silent for a moment, Dawa Tata sighed softly, and then said, "Shuai Shen, I can lead the soldiers and horses in Chengdu Fulu to surrender, but I still have a few questions to ask Shuai Shen!"
"Commander, please speak!"
"First, if we surrender, what does Commander Shen plan to do with our remaining 70,000 troops? Should we return to Tubo, or should we stay as prisoners in the Song Dynasty?"
"Secondly, as Shen Shuai said, once some things have been done, they cannot be undone.
Since we led our troops into Chengdu, your country, we have not killed innocent people indiscriminately, but we have also brought a lot of trouble to your country and many people.
In fact, many people died directly or indirectly under the blades of our soldiers and horses.
Then, will Commander Shen hold a grudge against us because of this, and even wait for us to surrender before he kills again..."
"Third, what kind of relationship does Commander Shen think there will be between the Song Dynasty and Tubo in the future!"
"If Commander Shen's answer satisfies me, then I will lead all my soldiers to surrender to Commander Shen. If Commander Shen's answer does not satisfy me, then we will fight to the death! I am not afraid of death, I am the warrior of Tubo. , also not afraid of death!”
After finishing speaking, Dawa Tata's eyes fell on Shen Tang's face, waiting for Shen Tang's answer!
After thinking for a while, Shen Tang slowly spoke, "I can answer your third question first! In the future, there may be twists and turns in the process, but your Tubo territory will eventually become the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty!"
"What!"
Dawa Tata exclaimed and frowned when looking at Shen Tang.
Shen Tang smiled softly, "The strength and resilience of the Central Plains Dynasty are beyond your imagination! The inheritance and continuation of the Central Plains Dynasty are also beyond your imagination.
Even if there was chaos among the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, have you ever seen any of your foreigners take over the Central Plains?
Even if the five barbarians invaded China back then, where were those barbarians?
You, Tubo, are in a corner, and you may have glory, but it will definitely be just a flash in the pan. It is absolutely impossible to compete with me, the Song Dynasty!"
