Chapter 134: War or Peace
Lan Ziyi replied:
"I'm afraid it's a fraud."
As soon as these words came out, the remaining people in the tent fell into deep thought,
Peach Rabbit was the first to speak:
"We have annihilated 50,000 enemies outside the north gate, and the thieves should have been seriously injured, so it is a wise choice to surrender at this time."
Qiu Xiao touched his chin and said:
"Not really.
Of course, San Lang is right to think so, but as far as I know, Wei Hou was fighting with these 50,000 people when he was trapped in Yiling, and the main force of the thieves was attacking Xiangfan at that time and was defeated.
Even if we behead 50,000, the rest of those people should not be underestimated. “
At this time, Tao Zhulu said to Lan Ziyi:
"Just now, Wei Hou and Qi Rongxun objected at the same time, but Xie Xuanming was tired of it. If Qi Rongxun is really Zhang Mingyue's person, this is infighting.
Is Wei Hou reluctant to make peace for fear that his previous achievements will be wasted and his previous bloody achievements will be ruined? “
Lan Ziyi was asked like this, thought for a while and said:
"Don't you know what General Zhulu does? Our Lan family has already made great achievements, and it is not enough to add luster to this military exploit, and it doesn't matter if the military exploits are not bad.
But I am really afraid that the previous achievements will be wasted, I guess Qi Rongxun is the same as I think, a series of bloody battles, born to the death to fight the advantageous situation, as long as there is another battle to win, at this time, peace talks, it is really not cost-effective. “
When the Tao brothers heard Lan Ziyi say such kind words as "our Lan family" when he spoke to Tao Zhulu, their hearts were overflowing with joy, and the young master still regarded them as his own.
After listening to Lan Ziyi's words, Qiu Wenruo said:
"From a soldier's point of view, Wei Hou is certainly right to think so,
But the imperial court has to consider not only winning and losing, but also what to do after winning. “
Lan Ziyi did not answer Qiu Wenruo's words, but said Tao Zhutu:
"Speaking of it, it's silver, of course it costs silver to fight, but what about surrender? It costs money, too. ”
Tao Zhuhu continued:
"Not only does it cost money to surrender, but land is also needed for resettlement, so where can these hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children find a place?
They have already made a rebellion, even if they surrender, they will definitely be afraid in their hearts, and in the future, if the officials make a slight mistake, they may rebel again, have these Mr. Wen Ruo ever considered it? “
Qiu Wenruo replied:
"None of this is an excuse to kill."
Lan Ziyi said at this time:
"It's a war or a peace, you have to have a basis, and you can't say anything if you say it with such empty words.
I just entered the camp today, and there are still many things to do, so let's talk about it first. According to the arrangement just now, everyone hurried down to do something.
General Rabbit, get ready, I'm going to patrol the camp at night. “
At this time, Tao Zhulu remembered something and said:
"One more thing, Wait.
When the horses were divided that day, all the good horses were destined to go to the two battalions under our control, and now they are in the hands of those two scholars. “
Lan Ziyi thought for a moment and asked:
"How is Li Guangzhong's horse?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"It's okay."
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"That's it, and we have nothing to say. Let's have a chance to deploy it later. “
And they were commanded to sing, and went down every one of them.
That night, Qiu Wenruo and Tao Zhulu disappeared from the camp that night, and Lan Ziyi patrolled the camp until midnight and did not see the two of them.
Lan Ziyi took the peach chase rabbit and a few carefully selected soldiers of the forbidden army, and also borrowed a lot of people from the Jihu battalion, and after the sun set, he took people to wander around the camps, or talk with the soldiers, or drink with the soldiers by the bonfire.
When he was transferred to the two scholar camps, Tao Zhuhu and the two military department directors led the middle and lower officers of the battalion out to visit.
Lan Ziyi first exchanged a few words with the two scholars, and mentioned military law and military regulations a few times, and then joined the other generals on the side, laughing together, as if they were brothers. The two scholars stared at each other, but they were helpless.
In this way, Lan Ziyi returned to the tent to rest in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Lan Ziyi briefly inspected the front of the camp, and when Tao Zhulu and Qiu Wenruo returned, Lan Ziyi and the two of them entered the account to discuss those anti-bone boys who should be corrected.
Tao Zhulu and Qiu Wenruo were arguing in front of Lan Ziyi's seat, when a sergeant suddenly came over outside the door to report:
"Wait for the guard, Lord Xuanming of the Ministry of Officials is invited."
Hearing the voices of people outside the tent, Qiu Wenruo and Tao Zhulu immediately stopped talking and looked out the door.
Lan Ziyi smiled and said to himself:
"The soldiers in the battalion are still very discerning."
Then Lang Sheng asked:
"What do you want me to do?"
The soldier replied:
"It's still yesterday."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Where?"
The soldier replied:
"It's at the palace."
Lan Ziyi changed his eyes with the peach under the tent and Qiu Wenruo, and then said outside the tent:
"Prepare your horses."
The soldier received the order and sang the promise and turned away
After listening to the footsteps and walking away, Qiu Wenruo asked:
"What is the wording of Wei Hou today?"
兰子义 says:
"It's better to fight."
Qiu Wenruo asked:
"If the thieves really ask to surrender, what about the guards?"
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"Who knows if it's actually a battle or before it's finished? I'm just standing my ground.
Even if the thieves really want to surrender, we have to see it for ourselves. “
The sergeant's voice was already heard outside the door, and the horses were ready,
Tao Zhulu and Qiu Wenruo followed Lan Ziyi to the outside of the tent.
At this time, Tao Zhulu suddenly asked:
"If everyone's opinions are the same as yesterday, then there is still nothing to discuss, why should Xie Xuanming bother to call people over to quarrel again?"
As soon as Tao Zhulu said this, the three of them paused.
Qiu Wenruo says:
"Unless ......."
兰子义 says:
"Unless Qi Rongxun has changed his mind."
After speaking, Lan Ziyi frowned and bit his lip for a long time,
On the side, Tao Zhulu asked:
"Do you want to stop going yet?"
兰子义 says:
"If that's the case, it's all the more time we should go.
It doesn't take us to know what the hell Xie Xuanming can discuss. “
Then Lan Ziyi took the two of them out of the door, and then Lan Ziyi instructed the soldiers on the side:
"Go find General Zhutu and Mr. Xiaozhi, and ask them to follow quickly."
The soldier sang the promise and took the order.
Then Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhulu:
"General Zhulu, you found General Zhuhu to stay in the camp with you and confined the gate of the wall.
I can't open the door if I don't come back this time. “
Tao Zhulu nodded in agreement, and took people down.
Then Lan Ziyi and Qiu Wenruo got on the horse and went straight to the gate.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Tao Zhutu and Qiu Xiaozhi, who rushed to hear the news, and the two of them also brought the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who came to help last night.
Seeing Lan Ziyi's doubts, Tao Zhutu said:
"Just by the way, you can bring the brothers of the Jihu Camp back to the mansion."
Qiu Xiaozhi says:
"It's not peaceful in the city, so take a few people to be careful."
Lan Ziyi nodded, and led a group of people and horses to go straight to the mansion.
Halfway through, Lan Ziyi saw a team of people walking not far ahead, the armor on his body was not a forbidden army uniform, and one of them was still dressed as a civilian official.
Tao chased the rabbit's sharp eyes, pointed to the person who looked like a civil official, and said:
"That person seems to be the bear-sama from yesterday's dinner."
Lan Ziyi urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and found that it was indeed Lord Xiong, and he was happy in his heart.
Xiong Jingzong is an official of the Ministry of War, and he has been in the battle formation before, and he is closer to Lan Ziyi's thoughts, and he already had this meaning when he had dinner and conversation yesterday.
If you meet Kuma in advance here, you will be able to exchange some information, and if you are lucky, you may be able to convince Kuma-sama to support you.
Lan Ziyi lightly lifted the horse's hooves, led people to run to Lord Xiong in small steps, and after identifying himself to the garrison around Xiong Jingzong, Lan Ziyi hugged his fists on the horse while riding and said:
"Is Lord Xiong patrolling the city?"
Xiong Jingzong cupped his fists and saluted back:
"This official has just checked the grain storage in the city.
Where is this going? Are you also going to the government to discuss the matter of recruiting thieves? “
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but smack lightly, Xiong Jingzong still reconciled and announced an idea,
So Lan Ziyi said:
"But Qi Hou and I are both in the main battle, and the quarrel is still the same as yesterday."
Xiong Jingzong smiled and said:
"Let's go first, let's talk about it, there is no result if you quarrel, and if you don't quarrel, you will never get a result,
You say yes, Wei Hou? ”
Saying that, Xiong Jingzong glanced back at Lan Ziyi and said with a smile
Lan Ziyi gave Xiong Jingzong a bright smile, and then said:
"Lord Xiong served in the military department, and he fought on the front line of the Japanese in the east, so he has rich experience.
Do you think that the current losses of the thieves are so great that they need to wag their tails and beg to surrender? “
Xiong Jingzong did not answer Lan Ziyi, but sat upright and looked ahead, seemingly unconcerned about what Lan Ziyi said.
Lan Ziyi continued:
"The thieves have been in the ascending force for a long time, and they have almost penetrated the hinterland of my Dazheng from south to north, and there are many of them.
We only destroyed more than 40,000 enemies a few days ago, and even if these are the elite of the thieves, it does not necessarily make the thieves completely lose their courage to fight.
If it's a scam to delay time, we're in for a trick. “
Xiong Jingzong didn't look back, but said softly:
"The thieves are gathered in the wilderness, there is no logistics, the thieves eat more, and the sneak attack on Yuzhou that night was unsuccessful, and the thieves have no strength to continue to rush forward. Now we are staring at it again, and the scout rangers dare not go out to patrol the food easily, and they will starve to death.
At this time, surrender is the right way, what's incredible? “
兰子义 says:
"Since I went out with King De in the capital, I have had today's results in a series of bloody battles, and once the peace talks are held, if the thieves surrender to us, it will be a failure."
熊敬宗 says:
"Didn't Wei Hou just say that there are many thieves and they won't surrender easily, so why is Wei Hou confident that he will be able to win?"
兰子义 says:
"The thieves have lost their elite in the first battle and have lost their courage, but the main force of our army is still alive and well-trained
In addition, the thieves are afraid of the cannons of the Shenji Battalion, and at this time, they will be able to exterminate the thieves and eliminate the troubles for the country.
Lord Xiong has been in battle for a long time, and his judgment of the situation must be the same as mine. “
Xiong Jingzong didn't speak, and turned around, although his face did not change, he showed a tired face.
After looking at Lan Ziyi for a while, Xiong Jingzong said:
"It's almost time to get to the mansion, let's go in and talk about it."
Then he turned his head and urged the horse forward, leaving Lan Ziyi behind.
Lan Ziyi stayed in the same place and watched Xiong Jingzong slowly move away.
Peach Rabbit said:
"This person is too faceless."
兰子义 says:
"No, not necessarily."
