He stood frozen in place.
He simply bowed.
Seeing Renli's behavior, Lu Junyi laughed.
"These past two days have been busy persuading various tribes to surrender,"
"I only thought of you today,"
"What have you decided?"
Renli asked, "What does the general want Renli to consider?"
Lu Junyi asked, "Are you willing to submit to my dynasty?"
Renli thought for a moment,
"My brother is back?"
His troops had been scattered.
He did not belong to any tribe.
If Lu Junyi cannot gain any benefit from him,
It was naturally impossible to persuade him to surrender.
Therefore, Renli only thought about it briefly.
He then thought of his elder brother, Renzhong.
Lu Junyi nodded and said,
"Yes, we've already passed Qinggang Gorge,"
"Having entered the vast sea, it seems we're heading towards Yanzhou."
"However, he now has fewer than 100,000 troops under his command."
“I have ordered all units to recall their troops.”
"By the time he reaches Yanzhou, he will probably have less than 50,000 men left."
"I want you to persuade your brother,"
"Lead your troops to surrender to my Great Liang."
Renli heard that Renzhong had returned with his troops.
He calmed down and said strangely.
"Aren't you afraid what will happen to me after I go back?"
"He didn't try to persuade my brother,"
"Instead, you're joining my brother in besieging Yanzhou?"
Lu Junyi laughed and said, "Not to mention there are no trees outside Yanzhou City,"
"Even if you have trees to build siege weapons,"
"Can you take Yanzhou?"
Renli said, "Even if we don't attack Yanzhou,"
“We can also go to Youzhou.”
"Judging from the troops you led in the night raid,"
"There probably aren't many soldiers in Yanzhou City."
"You wouldn't dare send troops to intercept us, would you?"
Lu Junyi laughed and said, "The Western Xia's fate is sealed."
"Even if you brothers take tens of thousands of troops to the Yinxia region."
"Our Great Liang army will soon be attacking as well,"
"You cannot defend the Silver Summer region."
"If you abandon the city and leave, I'm afraid not many people will follow you."
"Where will you be able to go then?"
"Want to become a bandit in the desert?"
"It would be better to take advantage of the fact that we still have troops under our command,"
"If you surrender my great ridge, I can guarantee you brothers a life of wealth and honor."
"Otherwise, war will break out,"
“Li Qianshun’s yesterday is your tomorrow.”
"If I dare to release you, I can naturally bring you back."
Renli hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“Alright, I’m willing to try and persuade my brother,”
"But you have to promise us,"
"The Silver Xia tribe must not be slaughtered."
The Yinxia region is where the Weiming clan raised their army.
The tribes there were also among the earliest supporters of the Weiming clan.
"it is good."
...
Before you know it,
The curtain of water under the eaves also turned into a symphony of dripping sounds.
Zhao Yuan has been in Xingqing Prefecture for more than half a month.
Lu Junyi persuaded the brothers Renli and Renzhong to surrender.
Taking advantage of the situation, they conquered the various states of Yinxia.
Renduo Baozhong also persuaded Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Commander and Xishou Baotai Army Commander to surrender.
Upright people persuaded the Gansu Military Command and the Xiping Military Command to surrender.
These military commanders are all located along the Hexi Corridor.
It was also part of the Silk Road.
Although the Song Dynasty consistently encouraged merchants to explore new routes...
Travel along Qinghai Lake and Xihe Road.
However, the Hexi Corridor is undoubtedly the easiest to traverse.
Although they would be subject to heavy taxes by the Western Xia
However, many merchants still choose to travel through the Hexi Corridor.
If the Gansu Military Command and the Xiping Military Command do not surrender...
The Great Liang would immediately send troops to attack.
For Daliang, which only collected commercial taxes, the Hexi Corridor was more important than hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land.
Zhao Yuan also persuaded the Right Wing Chaoshun Army Division and the Baima Qiangzhen Army Division north of Xingqing Prefecture to surrender.
Of the twelve military commands of Western Xia, only the Heishan Weifu Military Command and the Heishui Zhen Yan Military Command had not surrendered.
However, Zhao Yuan also sent people to persuade them to surrender.
However, the two military commanders are far apart and have not yet replied.
Men from various tribes were captured in Shaanxi.
After surrendering, some tribes were willing to redeem these prisoners from Zhao Yuan with cattle, sheep, or money.
Although Zhao Yuan knew the national treasury was strained,
They were somewhat tempted by the ransom.
However, he still firmly rejected the requests from all departments.
After careful consideration, it was announced that
Those prisoners of war had to serve three years of forced labor in the Central Plains before they could be pardoned.
Although Li Qianshun initially sought to incorporate Shaanxi into his territory...
All departments were strictly ordered not to disturb the people.
But it also caused the people of Shaanxi to suffer the ravages of war.
Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn't let them go easily.
The various tribes submitted to the Great Liang.
The prisoners also became citizens of Daliang.
If ordinary people in China could also atone for their sins with money
The rich will become even more unscrupulous.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan would not set this precedent.
Chapter 1954 After the Rain
Upon learning that Lu Junyi had persuaded the brothers Renli and Renzhong to surrender...
After launching an eastward offensive to attack the Yinxia region,
Zhao Yuan then prepared to lead 5,000 troops from Wu Song's and Lu Junyi's forces south.
Entering Fuyan Road from the Yinxia area,
Inspecting the situation on these two routes,
Then they escorted Li Ren'ai back to Tokyo.
However, the heavy rain kept Zhao Yuan trapped in Xingqing Prefecture.
During these three days, Zhao Yuan was bored in the palace.
He also compiled a mathematics textbook.
It basically introduced Arabic numerals and the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Equation of one variable,
It can be considered an introduction to arithmetic.
These things are very simple for a college student.
However, if we want to compile it into a textbook...
But it still requires a lot of effort.
Po Chaoyu couldn't understand what Zhao Yuan had written at all.
However, in order to please Zhao Yuan...
But he stayed by his side the whole time, serving him.
Besides keeping an eye on Zhao Yuan's every move,
So attentive, serving tea and water.
The rest of the time I looked through the window.
Looking at the rain scene outside,
Although rainy scenes can get boring after a while.
But it's still more interesting than reading a book written in a foreign language.
