The army headed north and was going to Shaozhou to meet with Pan Mei's army.

Behind the vast mountains to the east is Heshui, and there is no Pan Chongche's army. He did not move, but he did not dare to be careless. The scouts kept sending them to investigate the movements of the army. When the scouts came back, Pan Chongche was as safe as Mount Tai.

Song Jiu was suspicious.

The Nan Han is almost at the critical moment of life and death. Why is the number one general of the Nan Han still moving? Can't he see? After thinking for a long time, he said to Yin Chongke: "General Yin, what if we send someone to persuade him to surrender?"

Yin Chongke also felt something was wrong. He was hesitating. Of course, it would be better to persuade him to surrender. It doesn’t matter if he had 30,000 Han soldiers. The key was Pan Chongche. He was the one who deserved to resist 30,000 Han soldiers alone. So he shouted: “Camp.”

This has to be considered. Pan Chongche remains unmoved now, which is also a good thing for the Song army. Pan Mei takes Guangzhou and Pan Chongche has to surrender. It is better to persuade him to surrender. If he can't persuade him, he might startle him instead. The Song army set up a camp, and the two discussed in the tent for most of the day. They decided to send an envoy to persuade him to surrender, hand him a piece of paper, and say nothing. It is better to surrender, and he cannot surrender, and he will be angry.

The letter was written and the envoy rode his horse to the Han army camp.

The horse was riding a horse, or a congratulations water, not far away. The envoy came back in the evening and said, "Pan Chongche agreed to surrender, and only put forward one condition. I hope our court will abide by the eleven military rules."

Old Yin excitedly slapped Song Jiu with high fives.

If you really surrender, they are not bloodthirsty people. It would be better if you can surrender, so why bother to fight bloody battles?

However, Zhang Rong, the clerk behind him, asked indifferently: "Who will be surrendered?"

The other party was the first general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he brought 30,000 Han soldiers to surrender for free. At least a minister who could take advantage of the situation was sent to surrender. At this time, there were only two people in the army, one was Yin Chongke and the other was Song Jiu. The edict was issued, and Song Jiu had a marquis or a chief supervisor of the three armies. Both of them were enough to surrender before. There was another way, that was to let Pan Chongche come to surrender himself. This was obviously impossible. He was a famous general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and surrender was humiliated. How could he come to surrender shamelessly?

Everyone remain silent together.

Song Jiu looked at everyone's expressions and knew it clearly, saying, "I'll go."

Yin Chongke cannot go. If he asked Pan Chongche to suppress it, the two armies would be close at this time and expect Song Jiu to command? Then Pan Chongche could lead the army to cross the Heshui River after detaining Yin Chongke, and this Song army of tenth was eaten. The entire battlefield immediately became dark, and it could even turn the Southern Han defeat into victory.

Only Song Jiu went there. He had a status, but he would not affect the army without him. Pan Chongche just surrendered and did not dare to do anything to Song Jiu, otherwise he would have mobilized his troops and horses to fight the Song army long ago.

Yin Chongke mobilized the guards, and Song Jiu waved his hand and said, "It's just to mobilize a hundred guards. What if you can take 30,000 troops from other people? Instead, you will feel guilty and unnecessary accidents will occur. Don't use this. I'm just a civil servant."

As he said that, he took Guo Da Guo Er and Wang Zheng and asked them to carry Hu's bed to surrender.

As Heshui approached, Wang Zhen was unaware of the greatness of the world. He was very happy that Pan Chongche was a god of war in the hearts of the Southern Han people. He was so handsome that he was surrendered by Pan Chongche. The Guo brothers' faces became solemn.

As soon as he arrived by the Heshui River, he saw countless dense troops coming from the other side. In fact, Song Jiu was not very confident. Anyway, he would rather come to work on the front line than anything else, and dangers were everywhere. He even vaguely hated himself for talking too much.

He got on the boat with his teeth and came to the other side. Suddenly, the Han army on the shore cheered: "It's really Song Hou's bed."

"It's Song Hou."

"Mr. Song is here."

The cheers were getting louder and louder, and the place was not too far from the military camp. The shouting alarmed the soldiers in the military camp, and many soldiers ran out of the military camp. It was not like welcoming, but like watching movie stars.

Song Jiu finally smiled bitterly and finally understood why Pan Chongche stopped beating and surrendered immediately with a letter. With such morale, how could Pan Chongche fight?

Pan Chongche also looked at Song Jiu, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. He had at least 30,000 elite soldiers and generals. How dare this minister of the Song Dynasty bring only a few people to surrender? Thinking of this, his mood became even darker and he could not fight. Looking at a leaf, he knew the autumn. Thinking about the civilians outside Hezhou City, he dared to use shovels to attack the city. How could the Southern Han be able to compete with such a country, such an army, and such ministers? He strode forward and said, "The criminal minister welcomes the emperor's chief supervisor."

"Don't use it. In the future, you and I will be ministers together. How can you and the criminals say that you will be guilty? The war is not with you, and the surrender is not with you. Let's go to your camp to speak."

He led the way in front, and countless Han soldiers surrounded both sides, and almost the entire barracks became empty. They walked out to welcome them together. The scout on the opposite side of Jiang quickly rode back to report to Yin Chongke. Don't worry, Song Jiu is fine.

Yin Chongke sighed in the tent: "I and Pan Mei's limelight were all taken away by this kid."

Wang Zheng and Guo Da continued to carry Hu Shui forward. Wang Zheng's knife cut Song Jiu miserably, and his legs still hurt slightly. But if you can walk, you have to carry Hu Shui, or if you ride a horse, it will hurt even if you ride a horse.

Many Han soldiers asked Wang Zheng if it was the one you cut down. The following was spread evilly and also to Pan Chongche's military camp, which led to a further decline in morale and no one was willing to fight. Pan Chongche could not fight. Otherwise, he would not surrender so easily.

Wang Zheng straightened his chest and replied, "It's me."

The cheers were louder.

No one wants to die, especially to go to a battle that he is unsure, and he is even more willing to work for Liu Feng. When he arrived at the tent, Pan Chongche and Song Jiu talked with Song Jiu about surrendering the troops. Song Jiu also talked with Yin Chongke for a long time yesterday. There were two ways. The first one was to learn from Kang Yanze, collect Han soldiers and use Han soldiers to deal with Han soldiers. But they were rejected by the two. Kang Yanze was an exception. Although he had only nearly a hundred guards under his command, there were tens of thousands of brave Song soldiers behind him. With this backer hundreds of miles away, although he was not in harmony with Wang Quanbin, how could those surrendered soldiers know the inside story? Therefore, they were able to successfully recruit. It was not possible in Lingnan, too far from the capital, and even Hunan troops were exhausted. Only Song Yin and Pan Mei had ten thousand people. If the reorganization was not well, they might rebel. There are too many such examples in history.

The second is to repatriate home, but not all of them. In the past, there were only a few thousand people, most of them were soldiers from the surrounding areas of Hezhou. There was no problem sending home. Now, most of them were near Guangzhou. They must be reorganized into the army by Liu Yu. The number of enemies will increase in the next few steps. Those west of Hezhou can be let go back, and those east cannot be let go back, so Pan Chongche continues to lead and is still stationed by the Heshui River and stands on site.

But this is of great significance. After some soldiers were released, Pan Chongche had to go all out with the Song Dynasty. Although he did not put them on the battlefield, it was equivalent to reducing 30,000 enemies, and it was even a relatively powerful army of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Song Jiu had another idea in his mind. The population of the Central Plains was sharply reduced, and Lingnan was also not good. Wars continued, including barbarian households, and there were absolutely no more than 300,000 households. When Li Jing came down, there were nearly 600,000 households, including many roads, and many roads were deserted. These soldiers could be used to renovate the surrounding roads to facilitate future governance. But he himself also rejected it. Although he surrendered, there were too many cases of massacre of surrendered soldiers from ancient times to the present. Wang Quanbin did it. Once these surrendered soldiers were not allowed to go home, and then they came to build roads, and they would have bad thoughts in their hearts. Therefore, they were still mainly quiet.

Being surrendered is like being attacked.

This process is the most dangerous. Only when comforting can one become a real surrender. If the war is not done, the war will be defeated. If the comforting is not done well, it will cause a mutiny, and the consequences will be very serious. Song Jiu carefully told Pan Chongche about the plan. Pan Chongche said depressedly: "But listen to the orders of the minister."

"The old general needs to cooperate."

It took a few days to repatriate the soldiers. Most of them were left behind. Song Jiu explained to them again, from beginning to end. In order to avoid misunderstandings, the Song army stationed dozens of miles away and did not get close. Song Jiu had almost made arrangements, so he bid farewell to Pan Chongche and returned to the military camp. He led the army to continue to go east. The battle of Shaozhou began.

Newspapers from various residences came, and Liu Feng first said a strange thing, Zhaogui and Helian were originally from northerners, and they would not go south again if they got it.

Didn’t Zhao Kuangyin send envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask for a state? We sent six or seven states to you. What else would we do? But soon we woke up and quickly gathered 200,000 troops. Almost all the middle-aged men in the southeast area gathered together.

It's very scary in quantity.

Nanhan also has a secret weapon, that is, the elephant.

The Southern Han produced elephants, and bought some war elephants from Dali and Anli, and hired barbarians to teach the Southern Han army to train and control war elephants. At this time, there were a total of 1,000 war elephants in the Southern Han Dynasty, and they were truly heavy armored war elephants.

The elephant is surrounded by thick armor, and the area with the worst defense of the elephant body is also a thick piece of brachial armor. The elephant head has a face armor, and the elephant nose is also equipped with chain mail. A five-foot-long sharp steel spear is covered with tusks. The north of the elephant is a tower made of thick wooden boards, and the building is divided into three levels. The first floor is a driver, the second floor is four to six archers, and the third floor is a lookout.

With the battle elephant as the core, each surrounded by big swordsmen, spearmen, shield soldiers, and archers.

If it looks good, any kind of cavalry is gray in front of it. But the combat power is like...it can only be tested on the battlefield. One thousand war elephants led a hundred thousand troops to Shaozhou. The two armies met in the plains under the Lotus Peak. Li Chengwo immediately threw out his strongest troops and charged forward. One thousand war elephants rushed over with countless Han soldiers and Song troops.

Song Jiu hadn't seen it, and he would definitely exclaim when he saw it. No magic blockbuster was as shocking as the scene of the day.

Pan Mei had known this information for a long time, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little numb and she still had to fight. She asked her subordinates to set up a horse-rejection first. This probably didn't work much. When the battle elephant came in front, it was not a horse-rejection, but it turned into a piece of wood.

But it can be blocked for a while, and then let all archers stand in front, without any strategy, that is, shoot me, don't shoot people, and shoot elephants at the same time. Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, especially at this time, the Song army also had some Fulu crossbows. They were all small, and they sacrificed their range, so they were flexible and maneuverable. They were slow or clumsy, and the target was not accurate. But there was no problem with the elephant, how big the target was that? Moreover, these crossbows were far stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, and they were not as good as armor protection. Large crossbows still drilled into the armor and stabbed the elephant.

Elephants are also high-IQ animals and are not stupid. Although even giant crossbows can't shoot them to death, it hurts so much. I stopped on strike, so I turned back and rushed towards the Southern Han army. The drivers were dumped by them one by one and began to trample on the Southern Han soldiers.

Originally, Pan Mei was fighting this battle with a tough bullet, and the huge change in front of him also stunned him. However, he quickly woke up and shouted, "Come on."

There are a thousand giant tanks leading the way in front, and you don’t rush to wait for when.

In one battle, 100,000 Southern Han soldiers were wiped out.

It's time to rest when it comes to this point. Pan Mei took Shaozhou and captured his governor Xin Yanwo and counselor Zou Wenyuan. As for the head coach Li Chengwo, God knows where he is, and maybe the war elephant will be stepped into meat paste. Then let Xin Yanwo bring a word to Liu Yu and ask Liu Yu to surrender.

When Song Jiu came to Shaozhou, Pan Mei did not wait for the news of Liu Yu's surrender. Instead, she heard a piece of information. The Great Wall was built from Majingshan in the north of Guangzhou and all the way to the Xing Palace of Panyu. When Song Jiu heard this news, he was stunned on the spot.

This is a Great Wall of more than 100 miles, and the Song army is about to reach the city. What speed does it take to repair it in this short time?

No one took this 25 seriously. The clerk Zheng Zhao said, "Congratulations to General Pan for his achievements in attacking the country."

Not only did they do a good job in the attack on the country, but they also did a good job in this industry. In the battle of Lianhua Peak, many Han soldiers died, most of which were trampled by war elephants. The Song army did not kill many of them. As soon as most Han soldiers surrendered, they sent civilians to incorporate them.

That's why Zheng Zhao said this.
