Although Liu Bagou had told Li Xuan many times that he would surrender Shuilong Village, he also said that as soon as Li Xuan's surrender edict was issued, the people of Shuilong Village would immediately fall to their knees and surrender happily.
But Li Xuan always regarded Liu Bagou's words as a joke.
Because Li Xuan felt that unless the opponent was defeated by his army and had no way to retreat, it would be impossible for him to surrender on his own initiative.
After all, surrender is not just a matter of losing face, but a matter of life and death. Once they surrender, their food will become food from Huangzhu Mountain, and without food, people will starve to death in this mountain.
.
Furthermore, even if it is possible for them to surrender, Li Xuan's surrender edict has not yet been written!
But now, the development of the situation makes Li Xuan a little confused.
So far, although the two sides have been fighting for two days, and there was a fight in the morning, strictly speaking, neither side has come into contact with each other, and there has not been a real battle. You know, there is no one on either side yet.
What about casualties?
The battle hasn't started yet, and the Shuilong Village opposite has a large number of people, so it doesn't look like it has no resistance at all.
In this case, how could they surrender?
Li Xuan doesn’t understand!
Not to mention Li Xuan, Liu Bagou, who always boasted of Zhuge Liang's reincarnation and thought he had many schemes, was also stunned by the people of Shuilong Village.
Although Liu Bagou was clamoring to recruit people from Shuilong Village and believed that the people from Shuilong Village were very likely to surrender, he also believed that if he wanted to recruit people from Shuilong Village, he would have to let Fang Dongquan and Chen Tufu lead their troops.
Go up and fight with real swords and guns first, show off the majesty of the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and make Shuilong Village lose hope of victory, and then recruit the people from Shuilong Village.
But now, they raised their flags and surrendered before even fighting!
But no matter how surprised Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and others are now, it is true that the people of Shuilong Village raised the white flag and wanted to surrender.
After the people in Shuilong Village raised the white flag, someone soon came out of the village gate and came to Fang Dongshen. He said that everyone in Shuilong Village had decided to surrender and that he had come out to discuss the terms of surrender with Huang Zhushan.
Fang Dongquan, who was in the front, looked at this man. For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue charging. He could only send someone to the back to ask Li Xuan for his opinion.
Although Li Xuan still couldn't understand why the people of Shuilong Village wanted to surrender and whether the surrender was a fraud, but since the other party raised the white flag, he had to see what the other party wanted to do first. Anyway, there was no shortage of time to attack.
of.
Immediately, a verbal order was passed down to ask the people from Shuilong Village to come over. If they really surrender, then hello, me, hello, everyone. This will avoid a battle and avoid casualties. If the other party is stalling for time or has other reasons,
What kind of conspiracy and conspiracy? As long as the other party doesn't immediately put down their weapons and surrender, then your attack plan will remain unchanged.
After Li Xuan's order was passed down, someone quickly brought the envoy from Shuilong Village.
This messenger was an acquaintance that Li Xuan had met. He was the second head of Shuilong Village, a short but extremely muscular middle-aged man.
Naturally, this person could not bring any weapons with him when he came out to negotiate. In order to prevent them from capturing the thief first and killing the enemy coach in the midst of thousands of troops, several gangsters from Huangzhushan kept
They all followed them and asked them to stop five or six meters away from Li Xuan.
As soon as the two people stopped, the second master of Shuilong Village was the first to speak: "Huang Xueren of Shuilong Village has met the first master!"
But as soon as he said these words, Liu Bagou stood up with a serious face on the side: "You are so bold and crazy, why don't you kneel down in front of His Majesty!"
His Majesty?
Huang Xueren, who has experienced many years of robbing families and homes, was stunned when he heard such a nondescript name.
In the past few months, he had heard that Huang Zhushan had changed his head. He also heard that the new head of Huang Zhushan was a bit unfamiliar, but he didn't know that Li Xuan was actually the emperor!
You can't blame him. There is no Internet these days, and there are no telephones or telegraphs. The exchange of information is very blocked. Huangzhu Mountain is dozens of miles away from Shuilongzhai, so there is no way to exchange information with each other. So
He didn't know that it was reasonable for Li Xuan to play with Jianguo and proclaim himself emperor.
However, even though Huang Xueren was just a bandit with little knowledge, he still knew that this emperor was not something that anyone could stop.
With a look of surprise on his face, Huang Xueren looked at Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and others. Their expressions did not seem fake, but serious, and they were not stubborn. He immediately knelt down and said, "Common people see you."
Pass Your Majesty!"
This man's obedient look made Li Xuan frown slightly. The man's face was obviously surprised and disdainful. He probably knew that his mountain emperor was a bit unorthodox, but he still knelt down obediently and called him
Your Majesty yourself.
If this person is not afraid, then he is scheming.
And since this man dared to come out to negotiate alone, and there was no fear on his face, he was obviously not afraid of death. If it wasn't because of fear, then he had other plans.
Li Xuandao: "Do you want to surrender?"
Huang Xueren said: "Back to Your Majesty, I have more than 400 people in Shuilong Village, whether they are young, strong, old, weak, women or children, they are all His Majesty's subjects, and they serve His Majesty on the front and back of the horse!"
It's not surrender, but surrender, which is somewhat interesting.
Surrender and surrender are naturally different. If you surrender, and you surrender conditionally, you will just steal women and food, and at most kill a few people. It is no different from ordinary robbery.
But if he surrenders, the other party will clearly recognize him as the boss and work under him!
Could it be that the aura of a king and domineering person in his body is too tough, so these bandits in Shuilong Village don't even fight a single fight, and they have to work for themselves as their subordinates as soon as they set up their battle array?
Or is it because their emperor's name is too loud, and they, like Fang Dongquan, Liu Bagou and the others, want to use their emperor's name to become a founding hero and live the addiction of a famous official?
For a time, many thoughts emerged in Li Xuan's mind.
Huang Xueren below didn't hear Li Xuan's answer. He raised his head and took a look. He naturally didn't know that Li Xuan had many thoughts running in his mind. He only saw Li Xuan's face was calm and silent, with a serious look on his face.
Li Xuan didn't speak, and Liu Bagou and the others naturally didn't speak either, so the scene became dull for a while.
There were more than ten people around, but no one spoke, and the soldiers from both sides in front continued to fight here.
If the negotiation is not completed this time, the fighting will break out again, and blood will flow like a river!
