Song Qingshu frowned. He was also worried about this problem. If Peerless City fell, with Temujin's habit of raping the wives and daughters of his enemies, Gu Zixian would be in real danger. Should he rescue her before that happened? But there was also the risk of being exposed.
Dan Yuru looked at his expression and said, "Young master, I have an idea."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu was surprised. "What is it?"
"We can make Peerless City surrender," Dan Yuru replied. "In addition, we can make the princess appear as the fiancée of the Young Master of Peerless City. That way, Temujin won't touch her again."
"Surrender?" Song Qingshu fell into deep thought. The history books did mention that the Mongols were cruel when they massacred cities, but they rarely mentioned that the Mongols were kind to those who surrendered. The cities they massacred were usually those who resisted from beginning to end and caused the Mongols many losses.
In a sense, the Mongols' massacre was a tactic. When other people saw that those who surrendered would still be rich and powerful, and those who resisted would not be spared.
Reality proved that this method was very effective. Many places in history surrendered at the sight of the Mongols. Even if the defending generals were unwilling to surrender, they would still be forced to surrender by their subordinates or the local people.
Seeing his silence, Dan Yuru quickly said, "Young master, you may not know Temujin well. I have been in the Mongols for so many years that I know his habits. He would never bully the wives and daughters of his subordinates, and he would not touch the women of those who surrendered. He is worried that if he sets a bad precedent, no one will dare to surrender to him in the future."
Song QingShu nodded. He had heard about this before. It was not a bad idea to have Peerless City surrender on their own. The Mongolians had always been kind to those who surrendered. They would usually keep their positions and troops, and those who surrendered only needed to hand over their hostages to Helin City. This would not destroy the combat strength of their original faction, and it could also ensure that they would not easily betray them.
In history, the Mongols only had about 100,000 soldiers, but the number of armies that swept through the world was more than a million. Most of the servant armies were recruited through this method.
He was not too worried about Peerless City increasing the strength of the Mongols after they surrendered. At most, they could rebel when the time was right. In history, the leader of the Red Coat Army, Li Quan, suddenly rebelled and surrendered to the Song Dynasty after they surrendered, causing a lot of trouble for the Mongols.
In history, Li Quan could not do anything alone, but if he allowed the Mongols to flourish everywhere, how could he have the energy to suppress the rebellions everywhere?
Dan Yuru noticed his expression and knew that he already had an idea, so she stopped talking about it. "Young Master, it's getting late. Aren't you going to rest?"
Song Qingshu answered, "I'm circulating my internal energy. It might take a while."
Dan Yuru exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder you can become a Great Guru at such a young age. Your self-discipline and hard work are really unmatched by ordinary people."
"I'm not that hardworking …" Song Qingshu blushed. Although he was hardworking, it was mainly because of the Blissful Zen that he achieved his current level of cultivation.
Dan Yuru, who was originally kneeling in front of him, suddenly got up and crawled in front of him. "Young Master, are you lonely? Do you want me to accompany you?"
Noticing her beautiful eyes and the moist luster on her red lips, Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. However, he still declined, "But I still need to circulate my internal energy to heal."
He was not made of iron. These days, he had been running back and forth between Sea Lost and Princess Yalun. Of the two women, one was as passionate as fire and the other was as gentle as water. Moreover, they were at the peak of their maturity. They could be described as two juicers. Even he was a little overwhelmed. vp
Now that he was in the stage of a sage, his thoughts were more rational than usual. He was still not sure how much Dan Yuru truly loved him and how much was fake. Before figuring it out, he could not simply touch her.
Hearing his answer, Dan Yuru was not too surprised. However, there was a hint of bitterness in her tone. "Everyone says that Young Master is a playboy. Why do I feel that Young Master is more of a gentleman than Liu Xiahui?"
Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "It's not easy for you to cultivate your martial arts. For thousands of years, you are the only one in the Demonic Gate who has mastered the art of seduction. If you lose your virginity, it will definitely affect your cultivation." Moreover, it would be easy for the people in the Demonic Gate to notice the change in her. If they suspected his identity, it would affect the overall situation.
Dan Yuru's eyes lit up. "So Young Master is worried about me." Like a beautiful snake, she climbed up his body and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, you don't have to worry about this. In fact, there are ways to play without losing your virginity."
Song Qingshu was stunned. Before he could react, he saw Dan Yuru smiling at him charmingly. She lowered her head and moved closer to his lower abdomen …
Song Qingshu gasped. What did she just say? The stage of a sage? That was impossible. In the face of a peerless beauty who had mastered the Demon Sect's Charm Arts for a thousand years, even a eunuch would be able to rejuvenate you, let alone a normal man.
After a night of rest, the next morning, Temujin suddenly ordered the entire army to march day and night towards Peerless City.
Song Qingshu finally experienced the power of the Mongolian army's blitzkrieg tactics. Although he had seen the Mongolian army in Gaochang, he had not traveled day and night like this.
Every Mongolian soldier had three to four horses to take turns riding. They did not stop even when it was mealtime. They ate the dried meat they brought with them, drank horse milk wine, or drank water. Even if they ran into a large river, it would not stop them at all. Every Mongolian soldier had a large water pouch sewn from animal skin. When they filled the pouch with water and filled it with air, it would become a lifebuoy. They would swim across the river and then refill it with water to replenish their supplies.
This kind of marching speed completely outpaced the armies of the Central Plains. On the third day, they appeared outside of Peerless City.
Galdan had clearly miscalculated. He had received news of the Mongolian army, but he thought that it would take at least seven or eight days for them to gather here. By that time, he would have either taken down Peerless City or made a new agreement with them to turn back and deal with the Mongolian army. Otherwise, he would have been able to temporarily avoid them.
But the Mongolian cavalry descended from the sky and suddenly appeared outside the city. In an instant, they were caught in a pincer attack from both inside and outside.
Dzungar's army quickly fell into a state of panic, but Galdan was also a formidable character. After a short moment of shock, he came to his senses. He deduced that the Mongolian army must have traveled a long distance to appear here so quickly. At most, they only had a few percent of their fighting strength left.
"Have everyone change formation. Aim the cannons and guns at the east. Prepare to fight the Mongolians!" He waved his whip and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Great Khan, if Peerless City's army rushes out and attacks us from behind, we might all be wiped out." Some of the generals began to worry.
"Don't worry, it was just an internal conflict. The Mongolians are our common enemy. Peerless City will not be so unwise to attack us at this time." Galdan quickly waved the flag and quickly changed the formation of the army.
Song Qingshu secretly sighed. This Galdan was indeed a famous general. No wonder he could conquer such a large territory. But it was a little surprising that the enemy army was equipped with so many firearms.
