The news that Jinding Pass was conquered by the Western Qin Army has already spread in the surrounding areas of the Luoxe Dynasty.
This is no longer a secret.
Of course Bengfengcuo also knew the news, otherwise he would not have destroyed his troops.
All were transferred to Saskaya from other places to defend his lair.
However, the power of the Western Qin Army still made him feel excited.
After all, after the armies of many tribes were defeated, a large number of broken troops fled in various directions.
Many of them fled here to learn how brave the Western Qin Army was, how sharp their swords were, and how effective they were in combat.
When Qiang said it, it also caused panic in the people of Sasjia, and at the same time, it also made Bengfengtsoji feel a sense of fear in his heart.
Before Western Qin sent an envoy, he decided to fight the Western Qin army to preserve his ancestral heritage.
However, as soon as the Western Qin envoy Li Muchen told him the conditions for persuading him to surrender, his determination to resist was no longer so strong. .
The defeated soldiers spread the horror of the Western Qin Army everywhere, and Bengfengcuo was worried that his army would be defeated if they really fought with the Western Qin Army.
By then, he felt a little scared just thinking about it.
Beng Fengcuoji looked at Li Muchen's leisurely look, and his confidence suddenly dropped again.
His thinking fell into confusion again, and he looked a little panicked.
He said to Li Muchen: "I really need to think about it.
In this case , please Mr.
Li wait here for a day, and then I will reply to Mr.
Li after I think about it carefully."
After ordering people to take Li Muchen to arrange a rest, Bengfengcuo immediately summoned some of his confidants to discuss whether to fight to the death with the Western Qin army or to surrender and retain their status, wealth and land.
The confidants were quickly summoned.
Bengfengcuoji explained the situation and then asked: "This is what the envoy of the Western Qin Army said.
Give us one day to think about it.
If we surrender, let us retain our status and status."
Land and wealth, only military power will be deprived of us, but if we do not surrender, once we are defeated, then we will lose everything, including our lives.
Please tell us, should we surrender or fight to the death with the Western Qin army?"
A confidant asked: "Lord, should we fight or surrender?
I think we should estimate our chances of winning if we fight the Western Qin Army.
If the chance of winning is too small, I think it is better to surrender.
At least we can retain our status. , wealth and land, if the chance of winning is high, we naturally don’t need to be afraid of them.”
Another confidant shook his head and said: "The chance of winning is too small.
The Western Qin army has high morale.
They attack proactively, aggressively, and are extremely tough.
Their weapons are sharper than ours, and their soldiers have thick and sturdy armor." , and our soldiers don’t even have leather armor.
Their advantage is too obvious when we kill them.
I don’t agree with fighting the Western Qin army head-on.
It’s better to surrender, so that we can preserve our status, wealth and land.”
"I don't agree with fighting either.
It's better to surrender.
If you surrender, I will still be loyal to the lord."
"I also agree to surrender.
With just a few troops like us, our weapons are not as good as those of the Western Qin Army.
We don't even have armor.
We are no match for them."
The confidants each expressed their own opinions and suggestions, and most of the confidants were more inclined to surrender, using their status, wealth, and land to hand over military power.
There are only a few suggestions to fight to the death with the Western Qin Army.

This person does not believe in the credibility of the Western Qin Army.
If they hand over military power, but the Western Qin Army does not fulfill their promise to retain their status, land and wealth, then they will Isn’t it like being at the mercy of others?
Bengfengcuoji also began to be inclined to surrender from his heart, but he was also worried that the Western Qin Army would not keep its promise, worry that the Western Qin Army would renege on its promise, and would take back military power but not fulfill its promise to retain their status, land, and wealth.
While Bengfengcuo and his subordinates were discussing, Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers were taking a good rest, eating food, recovering their strength, and feeding the horses to restore their strength as soon as possible.
The camp was set up at the foot of a mountain, with the wind at its back and the shelter of the tent.
The soldiers did not feel very cold when resting in the tent.
After nightfall, Li Muchen had not returned yet, which made Zhao Ziliang feel that the omen was good.
If Bengfengcuo arrived in time His will to resist was very resolute.
He had been driven back by Li Muchen a long time ago, but Li Muchen did not come back.
There were two possibilities, one was that he was abducted, and the other was that he was left behind.
He stayed in Saska to wait for the clam.
Fengtsoji's reply.
Inside the camp, the firewood was crackling, and a skinned sheep was placed on the fire.
Zhao Ziliang was rolling it continuously to bake it.
The mutton oil was roasting loudly, and some spices were sprinkled on it.
After adding the seasonings, the lamb exudes a mouth-watering aroma.
Du Fu sat next to him and said, "Your Majesty, I am a little worried about whether Li Muchen will be killed by the Bengfeng clan."
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Don't worry.
The intelligence shows that Bengfeng is not a violent person.
He probably won't kill him.
If he is really killed, we will just avenge him when the time comes.
There is no use worrying now."
"That's the only way it can be."
Du Fu sighed, as if Li Muchen was dead at this time, and felt pity for him.
After all, Li Muchen was a young man he was very optimistic about.
This young man was not only good at being an official, but also very talented.
He is good at writing articles and poetry.
He has several masterpieces at a young age.
"Your Majesty, five thousand Tianzhu infantry have arrived outside the camp."
A school captain walked in and reported.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "We are walking too slowly.
We only walked seventy or eighty miles for a whole day to let them enter the camp."
"yes" The performance of the Tianzhu soldiers made it clear that Zhao Ziliang had no intention of letting them undertake important combat tasks.
These people were only qualified to clean the battlefield, garrison, transport, maintain public security, and serve as cannon fodder.
Five thousand Tianzhu soldiers were transferred here, just to let them fight in the Saskaya area. garrisoned.
"How is the strength of the war horse recovering?"
Zhao Ziliang asked as he turned over the roasted lamb.
Du Fu replied: "After feeding the fine material and resting for half a day, the war horses have recovered their strength.
After another night's rest, they can fight again early tomorrow morning.
But if Li Muchen is really killed, we must be prepared for the Tubo people tonight."
Launch a surprise attack."
Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a moment, nodded and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, right?
I ordered all ministries to strengthen their vigilance, arrange the guard posts five miles away, and change shifts every hour.
All generals and soldiers in the camp are not allowed to do so."
When he takes off his armor and goes to sleep, his war horse is tied outside the tent for easy access."

Du Fu agreed: "Yes" Du Fu's worries were unnecessary.
As Zhao Ziliang said, Beng Fengcuoji really didn't dare to attack at night.
Sneak attack tactics are not something ordinary people have the courage to execute, nor are they conditional to execute.
For a commander like Zhao Ziliang, he will not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There is no other way except to fight him head-on.
The next morning, after a night of weighing and deliberation, Bengfengcuo sent someone to find Li Muchen.
Bengfengtso asked: "Master Li, if I surrender to your army, how can I trust that you will fulfill your promise and will not go back on your promise?"
Li Muchen heard the words and said with a smile: "Lord, you can rest assured on this point.
So far, you are not the only lord who has surrendered to our army.
Now these people are all well.
They still retain their identity, land and wealth as lords.
They just don't have If you lose military power, you will be like them if you surrender.
We will have to face more than one lord like you in the future.
If we don't keep our word, who will trust us in the future?
So you don't have to worry about it at all."
Bengfengtsoji said: "Okay, I believe your army will fulfill its promise.
But if I don't have soldiers, I won't be able to control those slaves and serfs, and other people in the territory will not listen to me."
Li Muchen said: "Sir, we will set up a government here and the government will manage this land.
The government will take good care of the slaves and serfs for you.
As long as there are troops stationed here, you don't have to worry about those slaves and serfs being disobedient."
Bengfengtso nodded and said: "That's right.
How to proceed with the surrender?"
Li Muchen immediately talked about the matter in detail with Bengfengtso Ji.
The two talked for a whole morning and agreed to hold a surrender ceremony tomorrow morning.
At that time, Bengfengtso Ji would lead his subordinates, confidants and troops to wait for Zhao Ziliang outside Sasjia.
Come with the army.
In the afternoon, Li Muchen immediately returned to the Western Qin Army camp to report to Zhao Ziliang the results of his negotiations with Beng Fengcuoji.
After listening to Li Muchen's detailed report, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Do you think Bengfengcuoji may have faked his surrender?"
"Fake surrender" Li Muchen shook his head when he heard this and said: "From Wei Chen's point of view, it is unlikely and impossible.
He has no conditions for fake surrender, and Wei Chen has also finalized it with him.
Tomorrow he will lead his army to greet him ten miles away.
Agree, unless he is hiding another army."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Li Muchen: "Okay, this matter is settled.
Master Li has completed his mission well this time.
He will be promoted to one level and rewarded with a hundred coins."
Li Muchen quickly bowed and saluted: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
On the morning of the seventh day of November, it finally started to snow heavily.
Zhao Ziliang led the army to Sasika, and Bengfengcuo and his subordinates and troops greeted him.
They presented their swords to Zhao Ziliang and handed over the command of the army.
Zhao Ziliang accepted the sword from Bengfengcuo and took over the command of the army.
He ordered the 15,000 Tibetan troops to put down their weapons and enter Sasjia to rest.
Then the Western Qin army entered Sasjia to garrison to avoid the wind and snow.
Zhao Ziliang did not expect that he successfully captured Sasjia without a fight before he led his army.
The real purpose of sending Li Muchen to lobby Bengfengtsoji was actually just to delay time and gain rest for his army.
When it was time to regain his fighting strength, he didn't expect that Li Muchen actually convinced Bengfengcuoji
