When Wen Tianxiang took Mengtuo and others to the main hall of the government office, Zhao Dongting was still talking to Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou.

Monto and others knelt outside the hall, "The surrendered general Monto and others bowed to the emperor."

Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou were very surprised.

When the soldiers reported this news, Zhao Dongting avoided them, so they did not know about Monto surrender until now.

They were generals in the Yuan army and of course they knew the name of Monto. At this time, they could not help but be surprised.

Zhao Dongting stood up, walked outside the hall to help Mengtuo up, and said, "General Meng doesn't need to be polite."

Mengtuo followed the trend and felt that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty was really extraordinary. He had seen Boyan accept surrendered generals before, but he was definitely not as polite as Zhao Dongting, and there was no false element on his face.

Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou were under Yesuer's command, so they did not stand up to salute. But they both resigned with great abilities.

Zhao Dongting did not leave them either. After they left, he asked Wen Tianxiang, Mengtuo and others to sit in the hall.

Monto did not speak, so the generals under his command were naturally sitting honestly.

A maid came in with tea.

Zhao Dongting looked at Monto with deep eyes and said, "I wonder if General Meng can solve my doubts?"

Monto was slightly stunned and then said, "Prince, please tell me."

Zhao Dongting had no plans to go around the corner and said directly: "As far as I know, General Meng should have more than 30,000 soldiers under his command, right? With such strength, why did he suddenly choose to surrender to our dynasty? Could it be that he received the news that our army had broken through?"

Monto smiled bitterly, "The emperor captured Princess Mingzhu, and I was defeated again and again. How can I afford such a responsibility?"

Seeing that Zhao Dongting asked directly, he did not say any lies or clichés, and directly expressed his thoughts.

Of course, this is also because Monto was extremely afraid of Zhao Dongting and could not see through him, for fear that telling lies would anger the cunning little emperor.

Zhao Dongting showed a slight look of surprise, "So that's it. It seems that I underestimate the status of the Pearl Princess."

Monto did not take on this conversation.

Zhao Dongting laughed twice and said, "What are General Meng's plans in the future?"

Monto's eyes flashed with surprise, "Does the emperor not want to take me in?"

Zhao Dongting's words scared him.

He led his army to surrender to the Song Dynasty. If Zhao Dongting did not accept him and instead recruited his soldiers, where else could he go?

The Yuan Dynasty had supervisory agencies everywhere, Green Forest Camp, etc., where did he hide, wouldn’t he die?

In order to protect his face, the Yuan Dynasty would never let him live.

Even the generals under Monto were all disgusted.

Zhao Dongting laughed and said, "If General Meng is willing to serve me in the Song Dynasty, I will of course be extremely happy. I am asking what you are planning? It is not sweet to force melons. If you don't want to serve me, I will certainly not be able to force you."

Monto left the book case and fell to the ground, "Monto was willing to serve the emperor."

He didn't know whether Zhao Dongting's words were true or false, but he was sure that he would not have any good results after leaving the Song Dynasty.

"I wish to serve the emperor."

The generals under his command knew that there was no way out, so they could only rely on the big tree of the Song Dynasty to save their lives, and hurriedly walked forward and knelt down.

Zhao Dongting stared at them for a few seconds and said, "Please get up, generals, since that's the case, you will settle in my army first, and wait until all the Yuan army that I will attack on Xiujiang will be repelled, and then arrange positions for the generals in the army."

When dealing with Monto and others, he no longer gave them any choice like he did to treat Song Bitao.

After all, Song Bitao was once a general of the Song Dynasty and was devoted to serving the people. It is hard to say that he trusted them.

At this time, no matter which emperor is, they will not immediately arrange positions for them. If the arrangement is low, they will feel dissatisfied. If the arrangement is high, they will have to worry that they will cause trouble. After all, there are more than 30,000 soldiers who surrender, and it will be a problem if they mutiny.

Although Monto and others were a little disappointed, they did not dare to force it and had to accept the order.

Afterwards, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange. Soon, Zhao Dongting was already exhausted and let everyone disperse.

That night, he returned to the bedroom and sat under the oil lamp and was in a daze for a long time.

Just by defeating the Yuan army, we can foresee that the entire Guangnan West Road will return to the Song Dynasty. In the entire Guangnan West Road, more than 20 prefectures, except for the few prefectures in the west and the governments, the other prefectures are in a state of no governance. It takes emperor Zhao Dongting, the one who arranges to serve as chiefs in these prefectures, personally considers them.

Being an emperor is not an easy job.

Moreover, the prefectural chiefs who had previously taken a bystander attitude towards the overall situation of the Song Dynasty would have to be replaced.

The outside of the bag must first be installed inside. Zhao Dongting intends to consolidate the entire Guangnan West Road. Because only in this way can he have the energy to regain the surrounding roads.

When it was almost dawn, soldiers arrived in the north of Xiujiang Town.

Miao Youli, Lu Yu, Jin Hao and others led the army to Xiujiang Town overnight. Because most of the Yuan army was chasing behind the scouts, they did not dare to rest all night. Even though the soldiers were exhausted, they still insisted on marching. By this time, the soldiers were all depressed.

Fighting is extremely tiring. After the fight, it makes it even harder for these ordinary soldiers to withstand it.

As soon as I walked around the mountains, I could see several Song army formations ahead.

Zhang Jue led the troops of Tianwei, Tianyong, Tianfu, Tiangu and other troops to be on high alert here.

Except for Tiankui, Tiangang and Qiongzhou troops who fought against Monto last night, the entire Xiujiang River have set up their formations here.

Seeing that there were many Song army flags in the front army, Zhang Jue looked excited faintly.

Miao Youli, Jin Hao and others were even more excited, and strength emerged from the soldiers' bodies and ran forward faster.

When the two armies met, Zhang Jue laughed loudly and said, "General Miao, General Jin, you finally rushed back."

Miao Youli was still scared, "Yes, Deputy Military Order. We will almost die this time. If the Emperor's reinforcements had not arrived, we would probably not have come back."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Jue laughed loudly and said with great enthusiasm: "You guys go back to the town to rest first, I will block the Yuan army for you."

Miao Youli and others were not polite, so they bowed their hands and led their soldiers through the vacant space in the middle of the army.

Zhang Hongwei stood beside Zhang Jue at this time and whispered: "Deputy Military Order, the Yuan army is powerful. Should we let the military horses in the town come here too?"

Zhang Jue shook his head and said, "No need to let them rest for now. There are so many firearms in our army and the help of the Flying Army. Although there are many Yuan troops, they can't break through our army's formation."

Zhang Hongwei nodded and stopped talking.

Everyone looked ahead from afar, waiting for the Yuan army to appear.

After dozens of minutes like this, a scout rushed back from the front to report, "Deputy Commander, the Yuan army is only twenty miles away from our army."

Zhang Jue nodded slightly, "Okay, let's look again."

After waves of scouts came back, he always repeated this sentence.

It was already bright and it was a bit hot. The soldiers who had set up their formation sat on the ground and joked with each other.

After nearly two hours, the sun had risen to the top of his head and the Yuan army finally appeared.

Their army was more than 100,000, and their marching speed was naturally slower than that of Jin Hao and Miao Youli.

When the two armies looked at each other from afar, they could find that although the Yuan army was dense, their morale was low.

They were originally bombed by the Flying Army in the Delta, and then they rushed to the road overnight without eating or drinking, so they were naturally exhausted.

Tohoer and Wang Lei looked neither good-looking, but there was no way. They chased them in a hurry and did not carry any food or food at all.

After calling the generals to form a formation, the two met in front of the army.

Tohoer said: "General Wang, do you really want to attack?"

Seeing the Song army waiting in full force, grenade launchers and thunderbolt chariots in front of the army were arranged neatly, he really had no confidence.

Wang Lei said: "I have asked the scouts to rush to General Monto's military camp. Whether to attack or retreat, let's wait until the scouts come back!"

At this time, they were still about two miles away from the Song army formation.

While Wang Lei and Tohoer were waiting for the news, the two armies confronted each other.

Zhang Jue watched the Yuan army lined up to set up the formation, but there was no movement, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

He deliberately did not let the Qiongzhou Army, Tiangang Army and others come, but he was afraid that there were too many soldiers, so the Yuan army was so scared that he did not dare to attack. Unexpectedly, the Yuan army still hesitated.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Monto!

The Yuan army in front of us must be waiting for Monto.

And Monto has surrendered. If they get the news, will they still dare to attack?
Chapter completed!
