    The Xianbei Hugou shamelessly came to ask for surrender.

    Yan Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other, with a sarcastic smile flashing in their eyes.

    "Isn't Tuoba Liwei crazy? After he destroyed Kebineng, he dared not take me seriously, and even clamored to go south to herd horses. Why is he now asking me to surrender?" Yan Liang  The questioning tone was full of sarcasm.

    Sweat was dripping from Dugulou Mo's forehead, and his face turned pale with fright. He was ashamed and frightened, fearing that Yan Liang would become violent and cut him into pieces in a rage.

    Faced with Yan Liang's questioning, Lonely Lou Mo had no choice but to argue: "Your Majesty, my lord has long been willing to surrender to your Majesty. It was just that he was seduced by Sima Yi in the past, so he didn't take any action. Now my lord has already  I realize my mistake and am determined to cut off all contact with Sima Yi and sincerely submit to Da Chu. I hope your majesty will accept it."

    This Dugulou Mo Dao also had some rhetorical arguments. In a few words, he put all the responsibility on the scapegoated Sima Yi.

    "So, Tuoba Liwei really knows his mistake and plans to submit to me?" Yan Liang calmed down his anger slightly.

    "Yes, yes, of course." Dugulou nodded hurriedly.

    Yan Liang raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "Then I would like to hear how Tuoba Liwei plans to surrender?"

    Dugulou Mo was secretly happy and said hurriedly: "My family is willing to follow the old rules of the previous dynasty, accept the title of Your Majesty, be a minister to Your Majesty, pay tribute every year, and present gifts every year. Our family is also willing to send children to serve Your Majesty as a supplement."  As a hostage.¡±

    What a good example from the previous dynasty!

    ¡°These are the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and countless Han athletes died in battle.  How much national power was spent in exchange for surrender.

    This so-called surrender is just an illusion.  Tuoba Liwei only used superficial surrender, the tribute of a few cattle and sheep, and a few sons who were not rare, to save the Xianbei people from being destroyed. His little calculation was really shrewd.

    It¡¯s a pity that Yan Liang is not the former emperor, so how can he do it for a little fame?  Such a loss-making business.

    Snapped!

    Yan Liang slapped the case fiercely, anger welling up in his heart, and he was about to explode on the spot.  Drag Dugulou Mo out and kill him.

    At this moment, Xu Shu rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, since Tuoba Liwei is already aware of his guilt. Your Majesty has a universal heart. Why not give Tuoba Liwei a chance to change his ways and tolerate him magnanimously?"  What about surrendering?"

    "Huh?" Yan Liang was surprised, suppressed his anger, and looked at Xu Shu.

    Xu Shu¡¯s eyes flashed with a strange look, and he nodded secretly to Yan Liang, obviously winking.

    "Yuanzhi knows my thoughts well. He knows that I will not let the Xianbei people go, but he still persuades me to accept Tuoba Liwei's request for surrender. In this, he must have another plan."

    Yan Liang and Xu Shu are of one mind.  He soon realized Xu Shu's intention, and with a change of thought, the angry flames that were about to burst out were suppressed by him in an instant.

    "Yuan Zhiyuan is right. Since Tuoba Liwei has realized his mistake, I will not argue with him and give him a chance to change his ways." Yan Liang's tone became calmer.

    Dugulou Mo was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to Yan Liang, thanked Yan Liang again and again for his grace, and praised Yan Liang for his broad mind that could accommodate the world.

    Yan Liang changed the topic and said: "If Tuoba Liwei really knows his mistake and wants to sincerely surrender, he should show some sincerity."

    "Sincerity?" Dugulou Mo looked confused, unable to understand what Yan Liang meant.

    Xu Shu coughed and said displeasedly: "Don't you even understand the sincerity? So many of our soldiers from Da Chu went to the outside of the Great Wall with the intention of destroying Xianbei and getting rewards for their meritorious service. If they just withdraw their troops and return home,  Who will give them their rewards?¡±

    Xu Shu is extorting money.

    Dugulou Mo suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I understand, my Lord Tuoba said that as long as His Majesty can agree to our request for surrender, Lord Tuoba is willing to give 100,000 sheep as a gift to the laborers.  Your Majesty."

    One hundred thousand sheep is not a small number. It seems that Tuoba Liwei did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to win Yan Liang's retreat.

    "Your Majesty, Tuoba Liwei is so sincere, I think I can forgive him." Xu Shu turned to Yan Liang and spoke.

    Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "In that case, I will forgive Tuoba Liwei's crime and accept his submission. As soon as his 100,000 sheep arrive, I will reward the soldiers, and I will immediately  Then we returned south."

    Dugulou Mo was overjoyed and felt grateful to Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang¡¯s attitude softened a lot. He comforted Dugulou Mo a few times and sent him back to the Iron House.In the mountain city, go to Tuoba Liwei to recover his life.

    No one in Dugulou dared to stay for a long time, so he hurried back to Baidao City dozens of miles away with Yan Liang's handwritten reply.

    In Baidao City, Tuoba Liwei and the leaders of the Xianbei nobles have been waiting for a long time, desperately hoping that Dugu Loumo can bring them good news.

    "If this war continues, without the Chu army launching a large-scale attack, the Xianbei people themselves will start a war for water and grassland, and they will bleed like rivers of blood themselves.

    If Yan Liang did not agree to their request to surrender, Tuoba Liwei had no choice but to lead his men and escape to Mobei through Yinshan Pass.

    Once we retreat to Mobei, we will abandon Monan, which we have been operating for many years. The Xianbei in the west, like the Xiongnu, will soon withdraw from the stage of history.

    "Report, leader Dugu is back." The scout hurried into the tent and shouted.

    Tuoba Li jumped up slightly and said anxiously: "Quick, let him come in quickly."

    After a while, Dugulou Mo hurried in with a happy expression on his face.

    "What's going on? Can Yan Liang agree to be my vassal?" Tuoba Liwei asked impatiently before Dugu Loumo could take a breath.

    "My lord, Yan Liang has indeed fallen into your trap and agreed to our surrender."

    In the tent, Tuoba Liwei and the nobles all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had seen hope again before despair.

    "However, Yan Liang asked you to donate 100,000 sheep to him first as a gift for his labor." Dugulou Mo sighed.

    "One hundred thousand sheep! This Yan Liang is really greedy." Tuoba Liwei took a breath and frowned slightly.

    For him, although one hundred thousand sheep is not a strain on his muscles and bones, it is still equivalent to cutting meat.

    Dugulou Mo persuaded: "My lord, although one hundred thousand brother sheep is a large number, if we can exchange for Yan Liang's withdrawal and gain us a precious chance to breathe, I think it is worth it."

    Tuoba Li stood up slightly and walked around the tent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

    After pondering for a while, Tuoba Li slightly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if Yan Liang wants one hundred thousand sheep, I will give him one hundred thousand sheep. If I can trick him into retreating, next year I will regain my strength and lead my army south to the fortress.  The worst case scenario is to get it back twice as much.¡±

    "My lord is wise." Dugulou Mo praised highly.

    Tuoba Li slightly faced the south, with a sinister smile on his ferocious face, "Yan Liang, Yan Liang, you are still a greedy person after all. One day, you will pay a heavy price for your greed, hehe~~"

    ¡­¡­

    Baidaocheng, imperial tent.

    After sending Dugu Nan Tower away, there was no one else in the imperial tent.

    "Yuanzhi, you knew that I wanted to destroy Xianbei, but you still persuaded me to accept the title of vassal of the Tuoba dog thief. Tell me, do you have any clever ideas?" Yan Liang turned his eyes to Xu Shu.

    "The one who knows me is Your Majesty." Xu Shu cupped his hands and smiled.

    Then, he stood up, came to the map, and pointed in the direction of Yinshan Mountain.

    "Please see, Your Majesty, Tuoba Liwei is facing internal and external troubles now. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer, and he will definitely choose to lead hundreds of thousands of his tribesmen to flee from Yinshan Pass to Mobei. Mobei is vast and has a territory of thousands of miles. Once  If he escapes to this place, in the vast grassland, it will be difficult for us to gather together to annihilate him. If so, it will leave endless troubles. "

    Yan Liang stared at the map, chewing on Xu Shu's words, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

    "What Yuan Zhi said is absolutely true. Tuoba Liwei cannot be allowed to escape to Mobei. We must root out the grass. I must gather him in Monan and annihilate him!" Yan Liang said firmly.

    Xu Shu took advantage of the situation and said: "I think so too, but right now Tuoba is weak and still has 40,000 soldiers, and he relies on Tieshan City. With 60,000 cavalry, I may not be able to take Tieshan even if we attack by force. If we take this  If the war drags on, the only thing we can do is force Tuoba Liwei to flee to Mobei. So, I thought of a plan, why not use Tuoba Liwei to surrender and make a risky move?"

    Making a risky move?

    Yan Liang frowned slightly and scanned the map. Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through his mind.

    "Yuanzhi, what do you mean, in the name of asking the enemy to surrender, you can relax Tuoba's weak vigilance, send another army to bypass Tieshan, go straight to Yinshan, and block the Yinshan Pass in one fell swoop?"

    Xu Shu laughed and said happily: "This is my plan. Tuoba is weak and the whole army is in Tieshan. The Yinshan Pass must be empty of troops, and our army will be successful in a surprise attack. Now Xianbei's people are unstable and there are many internal conflicts. Once you hear that  The fall of Yinshan Pass will definitely destroy the people's hearts. Then your Majesty will launch a general attack with a large army and attack from the north and south, and we will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

      Xu Shu expressed his clever plan in a generous tone.

    Yan Liang was full of energy. He took a few steps to the map and carefully examined the route to Yinshan Mountain.

    Although Tieshan City is located on the front road leading to Yinshan Mountain, there are still several remote roads on all sides that can go around to Yinshan Pass. Xu Shu's plan has a feasible terrain basis.

    Tuoba Liwei did not dare to go around the white road and attack Yan Liang's rear. That was because Yan Liang had built fortresses along the rear road. Even if Tuoba Liwei went around the back road, he would be useless.

    Tieshan City is different. The Xianbei people live on grass and have no habit of building cities. The Chu army will attack Yinshan Pass in a roundabout way. As long as they can avoid the main road, they will have an unimpeded journey.

    Now that Tuoba Liwei is asking for surrender, it shows that he is in extreme internal embarrassment, forcing him to resort to this strategy. If this strategy can be successful, it can indeed destroy the Xianbei people's will to resist in one fell swoop.

    After pondering for a long time, Yan Liang's heroic face suddenly became determined, and he shouted loudly: "Here, bring Zhao Zilong to see me quickly." (To be continued)
