Wang Xuandu took a deep breath and calmed his restless emotions. Of course, he knew that Meng Jiuyou was the county magistrate of Fushan County. Meng Jiuyou had even sent troops to destroy his vanguard.
Wang Xuandu was full of ambition before this.
But now, he was a captive.
Wang Xuandu didn't want to die. He even wanted to take revenge. Therefore, Wang Xuandu chose to compromise, "County Magistrate Meng, I'm willing to surrender. Please spare my life."
Meng Jiuyou reached out and patted Wang Xuandu's cheek, smiling, "Although you're willing to surrender, your life is not in my hands. I don't have the final say in all of this, but Young Master. "
Wang Xuandu was speechless.
He knew that the so-called Young Master was Du Qi.
This was the person behind Fushan County.
Wang Xuandu paused for a moment, then said, "I want to see Young Master Du. I want to talk to Young Master Du."
He shouted out loud.
Meng Jiuyou said, "Wait, you will see Young Master. But not now, you will have the chance. "
Together with Li Jingcheng, he quickly detained the surrendered soldiers. In a short time, everyone was detained. Then, they escorted all the captives to Cangshan Pass.
The group returned to the pass, and all the captives were detained in the army.
Li Jingcheng and Meng Jiuyou went to the city gate tower together.
The two bowed and stood still, saluting Du Qi.
Meng Jiuyou was slightly excited, and said, "Young Master, we have won this battle. In this battle, we captured more than 7,680 people and killed 2,159 people. There are still some who fled in all directions. Wang Xuandu led more than ten thousand elites, but they were all wiped out in this battle. Not only that, even Wang Xuandu himself was captured. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Not bad. If we win this battle, we will have the initiative."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Bring him here."
"Yes!"
Meng Jiuyou immediately gave the order.
Not long after, Wang Xuandu was brought over.
As soon as Wang Xuandu saw Du Qi, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Wang Xuandu greets Lord Du. Du Daren, this time I sent troops to invade the border and I deserve to be defeated. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I, Wang Xuandu, am willing to bring the entire Jingyang County to your side. "
Du Qi said, "Since you want to submit, how do you plan to bring Jingyang County with you?"
Wang Xuandu was overjoyed.
There was a chance!
As long as Du Qi asked, he would have a chance to rise again.
With an excited expression, Wang Xuandu quickly said, "Please arrange a general to accompany me back to Jingyang County, Sir Du. From the beginning to the end, I was willing to be detained. I was willing to be controlled by Senior Du. When I arrive at Jingyang County, I will bring all the civil and military officials, as well as all the military forces, as well as the land deeds and population registers, and present them to Lord Du. "
Du Qi chuckled when he heard that.
Good idea.
It was really a good idea.
On the surface, Wang Xuandu said that he wanted to submit, but in fact, these words were just a formality. His purpose was to appease Du Qi and fight for a chance to return to Jingyang County.
Jingyang County was Wang Xuandu's base. In such a place, as long as Wang Xuandu returned, he would have a chance to escape. At that time, it would be almost impossible to take Wang Xuandu down.
If Du Qi wanted to seize Jingyang County, everything would return to square one, and they could only start a war.
Du Qi said, "Wang Xuandu, is that really what you think?"
Wang Xuandu gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and swore to the heavens, "Sir Du, everything I said is true. If half of what I said is a lie, and the other half is a lie, I am willing to be struck by lightning. "
Du Qi scrutinized Wang Xuandu.
This person was really a little ruthless.
According to Du Qi's understanding of the Great Qin Dynasty, there was a real theism in the Great Qin Dynasty, and countless people believed in the gods.
Wang Xuandu dared to swear directly.
He did not fear the punishment of the gods.
He was a ruthless person.
As for Wang Xuandu's sincerity in pledging allegiance to Du Qi, this was something that could only fool a three-year-old child. As long as Wang Xuandu had the chance to escape, he would not pledge allegiance to Du Qi.
Du Qi was well aware of this, and said indifferently, "You're very good, very sensible, and also know how to lower your head. You're a talent. Unfortunately, I don't want someone like you to work for me. Tell me, if you die in Songyang County, what will happen to Jingyang County? "
Wang Xuandu was shocked and hurriedly said, "Sir Du, if you kill me, the entire Jingyang County will take revenge. This method will cause Songyang County to be in danger, and is the most undesirable. "
"Instead of making enemies and being attacked by Jingyang County, it's better to subdue the entire Jingyang County."
"This is the simplest."
"I swear to the gods that I am sincerely willing to pledge allegiance to Sir Du."
Wang Xuandu said, "Sir Du, please give me a chance to return to Jingyang County and bring everyone to Songyang County to pledge allegiance. I am willing to pledge allegiance to Sir Du. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "You really know how to talk. You make it sound so extravagant. Unfortunately, I think that Jingyang County will not take revenge after you die, and will instead kill each other. "
Wang Xuandu said, "Sir Du, they may fight among themselves, but it will definitely endanger Songyang County."
Du Qi said, "I don't believe it."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Men, drag Wang Xuandu away and kill him."
"No, no!"
Wang Xuandu immediately panicked when he heard this.
When the soldiers clamped his arm and dragged him away, Wang Xuandu panicked even more. He had never expected that Du Qi would not act according to common sense.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been accepted after he begged for mercy and swore an oath to pledge allegiance.
However, Du Qi did not.
Wang Xuandu was anxious and hurriedly shouted, "Sir Du, I have something to say."
Du Qi said, "What else do you have to say?"
At this time, the soldiers no longer moved. They temporarily stopped and waited.
Wang Xuandu hurriedly said, "Sir Du, I am willing to pledge allegiance. In fact, I don't even need to return to Jingyang County. I only need to stay here. I am willing to stay by Sir Du's side. I will write a letter and send it directly to Jingyang County. When the time comes, all of Jingyang County will pledge allegiance. Sir Du will not need to send troops. "
Wang Xuandu was really planning to pledge allegiance and save his life first.
If he was killed, everything would be gone.
After he survived, he would think about how to escape and where to seek protection.
Du Qi looked at the terrified Wang Xuandu and ordered, "In that case, write the letter."
"Yes!"
Wang Xuandu immediately replied.
Du Qi waved his hand and the soldiers quickly brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Wang Xuandu picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink. After thinking for a while, he wrote quickly. In a short time, he wrote a letter and handed it to Du Qi, saying, "Sir Du, everything is here. Please read it."
Du Qi skimmed through the contents of the letter. After confirming that there was no problem with the letter, he asked Meng Jiuyou to send a soldier to deliver the letter to Jingyang County immediately.
Wang Xuandu said, "Sir Du, I am so cooperative now. Can you let me go and not detain me?"
Du Qi said, "Detain him directly."
"Yes!"
The soldier escorted Wang Xuandu and left.
Du Qi looked at Meng Jiuyou and Li Jingcheng and ordered, "Make the arrangements. Next, we will temporarily stay in Cang Shan Pass and wait for news from Jingyang County."
"Yes!"
Meng Jiuyou and Li Jingcheng replied in unison.
The two of them quickly made the arrangements. After everything was done, Meng Jiuyou returned to Du Qi's side and said, "Young Master, we took Wang Xuandu down. Why don't we just go straight to Jingyang County? After all, Jingyang County is now without a leader. With Wang Xuandu there, we can win in one battle. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Although we can win in one battle, we may also have to fight to the death. My plan is to wait and see what happens first and observe the situation in Jingyang County. If the other party doesn't send troops and starts fighting among themselves, then we will wait. If the other party sends troops, then under such circumstances, we will have to eliminate them. In fact, if such a situation occurs, we will have to fight no matter what. "
"Brilliant, Lord!"
Meng Jiuyou said no more.
Everyone temporarily stayed in Cang Shan Pass and waited for news from Jingyang County.
