Arslen Khan came to the two arrows of the Miyun city wall, reined in his horse and looked towards the city. He saw a flag flying on the gate tower, and in the middle stood a general with a golden helmet. This should be Miyun's general.
The general who defended the city.
Alsileng Khan ordered his men to shout to the man, and immediately a warrior came to the foot of Miyun City and shouted: "Miyun guard, listen, our Great Khan said that as long as you surrender, we are willing to make you king. On the grassland
If you resist the heavenly army, you will be cut into pieces when the city is defeated."
Gu Xu happened to be listening carefully on the city tower. At this time, his legs were shaking with fear. He should have ten thousand people in Miyun City, but in fact there are only five thousand now. He has taken advantage of the rest.
In addition, he usually deducted and resold weapons, resulting in Miyun City's defensive equipment being very insufficient.
Gu Xu's face was gloomy and uncertain on the city tower. He thought about it and felt that if the court found out about his reselling of arms, he would definitely die. If he fought to defend the city here, he would probably die. Gu Xu didn't want to die yet, but at this time
Hearing Arslenk Khan say that if he surrendered, he could be made the leader of his army, he had a wrong idea.
After much thought, Gu Xu could only give up his parents and wife at home. Although this was a bit unfilial, he thought that as long as he could save his life, his parents would forgive him. After all, he was the only son in the family, and he was so promising.
They should be able to understand themselves.
As for wives and children, why should a man worry about being without a wife? He feels a little sorry for his children, but he can’t care about them now. If he loses his life, he will have nothing. At worst, he will spend more paper money on them so that they can continue to live in poverty.
A day of glory and wealth.
Gu Xu thought of this and made up his mind to surrender to the Tatars in order to save his life. However, there were other generals in the city. If his intention to surrender was known to others, he might not be able to surrender and endanger his own life.
.
Gu Xu suddenly came up with an idea, and simply packed up all his subordinates to make it easier for him to do things later.
After Gu Xu heard the shouting outside the city, he immediately ordered the soldiers around him to be on guard to prevent the Tatars from sneaking a sneak attack. If he failed to surrender, he would be beaten by the Tatars instead. But he himself came down to the city.
, replied to the arrangements in his house, and prepared to take action tonight. He now did not care about anything for the safety of his own life.
That night, on the pretext of discussing the military situation, he summoned all his officials with more than a thousand households to the garrison mansion. He held a banquet in the garrison mansion. As soon as the generals arrived, he invited all the generals to the banquet.
Gu Xu drank with them while discussing the enemy situation. The generals were not on guard, so they drank happily during the banquet and came up with some ideas for defending the city. Many of these people have been in the army for generations and have one or two unique skills. If Gu Xu
According to their method, the city can really be defended if things go wrong.
But now Gu Xu is greedy for profit. He just wants to surrender the city and then become his leader and take care of the defense of the city. Gu Xu just keeps perusing the generals and urging them to drink.
.
The generals did not doubt that he was there, so they drank two more drinks, and Gu Xu added some drugs to the wine. Soon all the generals were drugged by Gu Xu.
As soon as Gu Xu saw that all the generals had been stunned by him, he immediately ordered his soldiers to tie up all these people and imprison them in the woodshed. Then he wrote a letter of surrender and ordered his soldiers to sneak out of the city and deliver the letter to
Alslen Khan.
During the day, Alsileng Khan promised to the Miyun guard that if he surrendered, he would immediately be crowned king and given a fief. It was just a temporary measure. If it succeeded, it would be better. If they didn't get married, he would not lose anything. In the end, he was surprised by the good news.
They couldn't believe that he had just made a promise during the day, and Miyun's guard came to contact him at night.
Alsileng Khan was suspicious by nature. When he heard that General Miyun sent someone to deliver the surrender letter, he didn't completely believe it. He was worried that this was a trick of General Miyun. But since the other party had already sent someone, he couldn't ignore it.
So he ordered his hand to bring the messenger to the treasure tent.
Arsleng Khan saw the soldier who was delivering the message to him in the tent. With his many years of experience, Arsleng Khan could tell at a glance that this man was just an ordinary sergeant.
The sergeant was so frightened when he saw Alsileng Khan that he originally didn't want to come to this mission. But Gu Xu promised to prepare five hundred taels of silver for him as long as he came. These silvers are in
He can also buy more than fifty acres of land near Miyun. In addition, he already knows Gu Xu's secret. If he doesn't agree to go, he may be killed by Gu Xu in the study immediately. After weighing the two aspects,
He still accepted Gu Xu's order.
Besides, if it is true as Gu Xu said, if he has so much wealth, it is worth taking the risk.
Just like this, under Gu Xu's coercion and inducement, this soldier came to deliver a message to Alsileng Khan according to Gu Xu's order, putting aside the interests of the country and the nation.
Alsileng Khan could see the uneasiness in the soldier's heart. Now he was seventy-eight percent convinced, so he said kindly: "What proof does your general have for sending you to deliver the message?"
"When my general asked me to come, he only gave me a letter and nothing else." The soldier answered honestly.
"I asked you to deliver the letter, so take it out and let me see it."
When the soldier heard Alsileng Khan asking for a letter, he quickly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Alsileng Khan with both hands.
Alsileng Khan winked at the attendant next to him, and the attendant immediately stepped forward to take the letter, and then handed it to Alsileng Khan.
Alsileng Khan took the letter and opened the envelope and looked at it carefully. The main idea on it was that General Gu Xushou knew that the heavenly soldiers were coming and did not dare to resist. He wanted to abandon the secret and surrender to the light. From now on, he would be loyal to the Great Khan under the command of the Great Khan, so he sent
People came to write a letter, hoping that Alsileng Khan would honor his promise and make him king, and agreed to invite Alsileng Khan's wife to take over Miyun City tonight.
Alsileng Khan read this letter over and over again. Now he was confused by this letter, and he didn't know what the Miyun guard was thinking. He actually sent a letter of surrender before the battle started. He was confused by the letter.
In all the years of fighting with the Southern Dynasties, I have never encountered a general like this.
Although the generals of the Southern Dynasty were all drunkards, these people still had integrity. No matter how they failed, the most they could do was run away. There had never been anyone like Gu Xu who wanted to surrender before the battle started. There were indeed many doubts in this.
But Alsileng Khan was not prepared to give up this opportunity. Whether it was true or not, he would know after giving it a try. So he sent his general Burigude with 10,000 troops to accept Gu Xu's surrender. If the other party really wanted to
When surrendering, one must treat each other with courtesy and cannot be disrespectful in the slightest. If the other party is pretending to surrender, it will be a great achievement as long as one maintains oneself.
After Burigude accepted the order of Arslen Khan, he led his troops to the foot of Miyun City. At this time, the gate of Miyun City was already wide open. Gu Xu personally took several civil servants who were willing to surrender and had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
.
After the messenger left, Gu Xu had summoned the civil servants in the city for discussion. As a result, most of these civil servants disagreed. After all, it was the heyday of the dynasty, and these civil servants still had some integrity, plus their
Most of his family members are in the Central Plains. If he surrenders like this, his family may never be able to make a comeback.
So many people yelled at Gu Xu, and the purpose of these people was very clear, that is, they just wanted to die quickly so that they could gain a reputation as a loyal minister and make their family live a better life.
Gu Xu was so angry at being scolded by them that he immediately ordered his own soldiers to pull these people out and behead them all to satisfy his hatred.
The remaining three or five officials were so depressed when they saw this situation that they didn't dare to resist at all, so they all agreed to follow Gu's lead.
Therefore, Gu Xu also led these people to open the city gate and prepare to welcome the Tatar generals who came to take over the city at the gate.
When Burigude saw Gu Xu, he saw that he didn't have a weapon or any armor on him. All the soldiers around the city gate also disarmed and stood there honestly. It seemed that they were sincere.
About to surrender.
Gu Xu was overjoyed after seeing Burigude. He had been worried that Alsileng Khan would doubt his sincerity, so he led his troops to attack the city regardless of it. Now that he saw Alsileng Khan sending people to take over, he knew that his life was in danger.
Saved.
Gu Xu hurried forward and knelt down on the ground to salute Buri Gude and said: "Gu Xu, the guilty general of the Southern Barbarians, has surrendered. I hope the general will forgive me."
Burigude remembered Arslen Khan's instructions when he came. Now that he saw that Gu Xu really came to surrender, he quickly got off his horse, came to Gu Xu's side, helped him up, and said politely: "General
Abandoning darkness and turning to light means that the people of the two countries will not resort to fighting, which is a great meritorious service. When I came, our Great Khan asked me to tell the general that he will keep his promise, and the general does not need to worry."
Gu Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked Burigude to come to the city to rest. At the same time, he reported to Burigude that he had arrested all the officials from more than a thousand households in the city, and it was up to Burigude to decide what happened next.
The meaning of General De.
As soon as Gu Xu and Burigude entered the city gate, they saw a sergeant running in front of them. He looked like a small leader. This man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, his eyes were rolling around, and he had a flattering smile on his face.
.It doesn’t look like a good thing at first glance.
When Gu Xu saw this man, he was a little surprised and asked: "Zhou Wu, if you are not on guard watching those people, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Wu came over to Gu Xu with a flattering look on his face and said, "General, I didn't see that you hadn't been back for a long time. I was afraid that something would happen. Come and have a look."
After saying that, he glanced at Burigude, who was standing next to him. He immediately went up to meet him, and said with a smile on his face: "General, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time, and finally you are here. It is so wonderful for me to see the general."
I am lucky enough to be born, and I hope the general will support me more in the future."
Burigude originally ignored such a person. He admired He Tong's general. Although He Tong cheated at the last moment and almost hurt his life, his appreciation for He Tong was not the same.
No reduction at all.
But now is an extraordinary moment, and it is the time to use these Southern Dynasty people, so he asked with a smile: "Who are you? What do you want to do here?"
Seeing Burigude asking questions, Zhou Wu hurriedly took a few steps forward, came to Burigude's side, nodded and bowed and said: "General, I am a member of a hundred households in this city, and I am a confidant of General Gu Xu.
Just now, the general asked me to guard the imprisoned Qianhu in the garrison, waiting for you to come and take care of them. I was very anxious waiting in the mansion, so I came to see if your superiors need anything, so that I can help."
After saying that, he showed a flattering smile to Burigude.
