Chapter 259 Surrender without a Fight
Good man, be like this, command an invincible iron army, turn your sword into a plow, and sweep the world.
After the swearing-in, Ouyang Shuo began to point out, "Wang Feng!"
"The last general is here!" Wang Feng came out and knelt down on one knee.
"Leading you to lead the imperial guard brigade, sit on the left side, and serve as the general of the left side army."
"Here!"
"Lin Yi!"
"The last general is here!" Lin Yi followed suit.
"Lead you to lead the second brigade of the first division, sit on the right side, and serve as the commander of the right side army."
"Here!"
On the left and right wings, Ouyang Shuo arranged elite cavalry troops. The three city guard brigades were organized into the central army, and Ouyang Shuo personally took charge. The Shanhai County Guard Brigade and the Youyi County Guard Brigade served as the former army, and the Yushui County Guard Brigade served as the reserve force and served as the rear army. In the city guard brigade, the archer battalion took the lead, the sword and shield battalion was behind, and the cavalry battalion covered the flanks.
Such an army formation is invincible.
When the point was about to finish, Ouyang Shuo pulled out the Tang saber from his waist and swung it forward: "Let's go!"
The mighty army immediately set off, except for the sound of footsteps and the neighing of war horses, there was no other sound. The army crossed the moat outside the city and marched firmly towards the Tianfeng tribe.
*************
How can Dari Achi wait for nothing? When he received the envoy, although he was arrogant, he actually started to guard against Youyi County after the envoy left, and he did not relax his vigilance at all.
Naturally, such a large-scale swearing-in operation outside Youyi County could not escape his eyes.
The opponent's huge army and the military capacity of its peak are all frightening. The cavalry unit "trained" in the north camp returned in due course, which was a blow to him.
The lord's flag raised on the wall of Youyi County made Dari Achi at a loss as to what to do. Only then did he know that Youyi County was just a subsidiary territory of the other party, and the real base camp had not yet appeared.
At this moment, Dari Achi really understood the meaning of "junhou" in the mouth of yesterday's messenger.
Those who do not sweep the Quartet are not enough to be called Marquis.
Inside the tribal tent, Dari'achi frowned, furious: "Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy against our Tianfeng tribe."
The joy of victory has long since dissipated, and what remains is endless regret.
Indeed, Ouyang Shuo's series of operations were throwing bait, dispatching envoys, and publishing a call for suppression, all of which were aimed at occupying the moral high ground. In this way, the Tianfeng tribe was arrogant and unreasonable, and it was natural for them to be punished. Naturally, it could not arouse the common hatred of other tribes.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" The tribal nobles were like frightened birds, panicking all day long.
"What can we do? It's just a war." Hu Qitu, the representative of the main combat faction, said indifferently.
"Shut up!" Dari'achi was extremely angry, if it wasn't for Hu Qitu's instigation, how could there be today's disaster. It's good now, but disaster is imminent, and this person is still so arrogant, really stupid.
"General Hu Qitu was joking, but the opponent has an army of tens of thousands, how can we fight?" Some nobles were outraged.
When the market was captured, the nobles appreciated Huqitu very much. Now that the situation has reversed, the attitude of the nobles has also turned 180 degrees, complaining about Hu Qitu's reckless behavior.
As everyone knows, the nobles who advocated attacking the market were the most active ones.
Choked by the patriarch and nobles one after another, Hu Qitu blushed and was furious, eager to restore his image, and said harshly, "How can the opponent's combat power compare with our prairie boy?"
Dari'achi shook his head, ignoring Huqitu, turned his head to look at the nobles, and said in a deep voice, "The only solution now is to fight or ask for help. Let's talk about what everyone thinks!"
"Ask for help? Who do you ask for help? Now we are the ones who are in the wrong, and those tribes are waiting to see our jokes! It's good if we don't make trouble, and they will not support us."
"That's right, that's right!"
Dari'achi rested his hand on his forehead, suffering from a severe headache, and said irritably, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Then tell me, what should I do?"
All the nobles looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"How about we return the looted supplies to them?" a nobleman said weakly.
"Hey, it's late. The conditions for agreeing to the other party's envoy yesterday were good. Just now, the other party has gathered an army and issued a call to action. It is obvious that they don't want to let it go."
Sorrowful clouds enveloped the tent, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
At this moment, a nobleman stood up and said tentatively, "Should I, or should I surrender?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, like opening a Pandora's box.
"Surrender, surrender?" the nobles stammered, their eyes flickering.
"No. Grassland son, how can you surrender without a fight?!" Hu Qitu shouted unwillingly.
Dari Achi sat at the head, feeling a chill in his heart, he knew that the worst result was coming. He was powerless to stop it, the cowardice and fear in the nobles' eyes were as obvious as cattle and sheep on the grassland.
Regardless of the two ends of the nobles, they are actually the core of the tribe and have the right to speak for the tribe.
Since the aristocrat had surrendered in his heart, even if he, the patriarch, disagreed, he would not be able to fully mobilize the army. You know, the logistics lifeline of the army is all in the hands of the nobles.
Dari Achi closed his eyes, looking lonely. The emperor's hegemony will become empty in one day.
After a long time, Dari Achi finally said: "Hai Rigu, I will leave it to you to negotiate the surrender!"
Hai Rigu, the nobleman who proposed to surrender, stood up and said, "Yes!"
"Patriarch, no, you guys still have the strength to fight!" Hu Qitu tried his best to stop it.
"Come here!" Dari'achi didn't look at Huqitu, but called his personal guard instead.
"Here!" The four guards walked into the dental tent.
"Detain Huqitu and put him in prison!" Dari'achi knew very well that one of the conditions proposed by the other party's envoy was to hand over the chief culprit, and Huqitu could not escape death.
In order to prevent accidents, Dari'achi was cruel and locked up Huqitu first.
"Patriarch!" Hu Qitu was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
To be honest, Huqitu is Dari'achi's real confidant, and he is also very heartbroken to imprison Huqitu. It's a pity that the situation forced him to show favoritism.
"Press it!" Dari'achi said cruelly, not daring to look at Huqitu's desperate eyes.
"Here!" The personal guards were all die-hard members who swore allegiance to the patriarch. Although they were shocked, they still carried out the order without hesitation, disarmed Huqitu, and took him down.
Hu Qitu's heart turned cold, his heart was ashamed, he didn't resist, and was suppressed obediently.
"It's all gone!" Dari'achi said weakly.
The hegemony has become empty, and Dari'achi's spirit is also gone, losing the heroic posture of the past. Seeing the state of the patriarch, the nobles didn't know what it was like, and left silently one by one.
