With the table and a cart of heavy gifts, Wen Chong went out of the city to Wuying to ask for peace and surrender.

Gou Jian led the ministers to the gate of the city, watched the carriage of Wenzhong, and disappeared into the night. Everyone's hearts were heavy, and they stood silently, and no one spoke.

The camp of the Wu army is full of lights, and the camp of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses covers an area of at least a dozen miles.

Fan Li stood beside King Yue, his heart was just a little lighter, and then he became heavy again. Wu and Yue are constantly fighting with each other, and their grievances are deep. Three years ago, the first battle of Li Li actually caused the death of Lu Lu. Can the husband accept the surrender now? If King Wu does not accept the invitation to surrender, then what should he do?

I had just crossed over, and I encountered such a major event, not only to appease King Yue not to be impulsive, but also to think about King Wu not to accept surrender, what to do next?

Although he has regained the memory and ability of his former master, he still has a strong sense of inadequacy.

After standing for a while, Fan Li said: "King, please go back to the palace, after a day of fighting, you should eat something and rest." ”

Unexpectedly, Gou Jian said: "Young uncle, will the husband accept our demotion table?" ”

Fan Li was stunned, he couldn't answer this question, and said slowly: "I believe in Xiangguo's ability to do things." ”

Gou Jian didn't speak, just sighed deeply.

Fan Li comforted: "King, don't worry too much. Where things go is which step, we choose the right way, work hard to do it, whether we can succeed or not, that is also the will of God, please go back, king. ”

Everyone flocked to King Yue back to the palace, and someone arranged a meal.

Fan Li was a very thoughtful person, settled everyone, and said to King Yue: "The king rests, and the ministers go to appease the soldiers." ”

King Yue said: "Young Uncle is hard. ”

Fan Li walked out of the palace gate and entered the Yue military camp. At the time of the expedition, there were 200,000 troops, but now only 5,000 remain. It turned out that the formation of the army had long been disrupted, and most of the battalions had been killed. These soldiers killed from the battlefield are the essence of individual combat ability. Although they are few in number, their morale is not diminished.

Such an army would not have lost the battle had it not been for the wrong decision.

Such a small team, to fight against more than 100,000 people of the Wu army, is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. But such a strong army would also inflict huge losses on the enemy if it fought desperately.

In this way, if we fight with the Wu army tomorrow, although the 5,000 Vietnamese troops will all die in battle. But it will also bring losses of twenty or thirty thousand people to the Wu army.

This is also a bargaining chip in the negotiation, I don't know if the culture Xiangguo thought of it?

But this is only a bargaining chip, and it must not be fought again.

In his previous life, he was a junior officer, and he knew that at this turning point, it was necessary to do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers.

"Who?" The sentry soldier snapped.

"It's Ben Shuai, Fan Li." He was a little uncomfortable with this way of speaking, but he had to learn to speak like this when he went to any mountain to cut firewood.

"I've seen adults." The soldier gave a military salute. Fan Li nodded and approached the camp. As soon as they heard Fan Li coming, the soldiers quickly ran out of the account, lined up to salute, and said in unison: "See your lord!" ”

The queue is neat, the momentum is like a rainbow, and there is no malaise of the defeated army.

Although there are only 5,000 people left, this is 5,000 members of the death team with extremely strong combat effectiveness! This is the spark for the restoration of the country in the future, and it must not be sent to death in vain.

Fan Li inspected the soldiers and said, "Have you all eaten?" ”

"My lord, we've all eaten."

"Let's get some rest, everyone. Summoning all the generals above the centurion, the commander has a few words to say to everyone. ”

"Yes!" Immediately a herald ran to deliver the order.

There was not much time, and there were hundreds of people gathered around Fan Li, that is to say, among the remaining people, most of them were officers, because these people had stronger combat skills than ordinary soldiers.

Fan Li asked everyone to sit down on the hillside and said, "We lost the battle, do you dare to fight again?" ”

"Dare!" The roar was like thunder.

A centurion stood up, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "General, we dare to fight, we Dayue people are not afraid of death!" ”

"We are not afraid of death!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison.

Fan Li was excited in his heart, and said emotionally: "You are really my good brothers, you are the king's good people, and the rejuvenation of the Yue Kingdom depends on you." ”

A few more stood up: "There is a word from the general, we will never give up!" ”

Fan Li said, "Sit down." He patrolled the formation for a week, then stood down and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, if Ben Shuai tells you that we will not fight, what do you think? ”

"Huh?! Don't fight? This was more surprising than letting them charge desperately: "What did you say, my lord?" Don't fight? Why don't you fight? ”

A man in his thirties stood up: "My lord, you are tempting us, right?" ”

Fan Li said: "It's not a temptation, it's true, we won't fight, the king has sent someone to sue for peace." ”

"No-" the man jumped high, "how can you not fight?" A thousand of my brothers have died in battle, and I am the only one left, how can I not fight? I want to avenge my brother! ”

"We're going to fight!"

"We want revenge!"

"My brothers are dead, how embarrassed am I to live!"

"Stop!" Fan Li's voice was loud and stern. Every word he utters is a military order.

The soldiers stopped screaming, they did not dare to disobey the order, but the emotions were so high that some of the soldiers began to cry, and then many followed, and finally hundreds of them cried. Everyone knelt in front of Fan Li and cried bitterly.

"General, we seek ...... war"

"We want to die ......"

"General......

Fan Li's blood is boiling, his eyes are damp, and the eldest husband is born and dies without fear! He really wanted to lead these hot-blooded men to rush into the enemy formation and kill him!

But historical knowledge told him that there would be no battle next, and that the war to destroy Wu would not start until twenty years later.

Fan Li said: "Listen to Ben Shuai. I also want to rush to the enemy line with everyone and beat him down. Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost. But have you thought about it, if you fight again, there will be no more Yue Kingdom, no more of our king, our temple will be destroyed, the ancestors will be sealed in Yuedi, and the incense that has been said to be more than 20 generations will be broken. ”

The crying stopped.

Fan Li continued: "We won't fight, we have to live, as long as we don't die, the Yue Kingdom will not be destroyed, and the Yue Kingdom will have a day to recover." ”

The soldiers raised their heads and looked at Fan Li. They haven't thought about these things yet.

Fan Li paused, looked at the remaining essence of the Vietnamese army, and said: "We sued for peace, we surrendered, we were humiliated, but we wanted to restore the country." For the revival of Da Viet, what is it for us to be insulted a little? Not only our soldiers, but also our faithful kings, will be insulted by our enemies. It's more unbearable than death. We, the children of Dayue, have the courage to take on a challenge that is more serious than death. ”

"Huh!" All stand up.

"General, we'll follow you!"

Fan Li's heart was stirred, his emotions had been fully integrated into the current reality, he said: "Brothers, if the peace is successful, our team may be disbanded, and everyone will go home." Remember the following words: What we said tonight is a top secret of the state, and after you go back, you are not allowed to talk about it to anyone, not to your parents, to your wife, to your children, or to your good friends. Can it be done? ”

"It can be done!"

"Good! After everyone goes back, they will grow crops to live, but their martial arts must not be wasted, their combat effectiveness must not decline, and their tactics must not be forgotten. Practice martial arts every day, and be ready to call the king at any time. ”

"Rest assured, the general, we will not stop practicing martial arts, and we will obey the king's call at any time."

Fan Li paused for a moment and said heavily: "When the king will be called, when Da Yue will return to the country, I don't know, maybe three or five years, maybe ten years, eight years, maybe twenty years." At that time, our sons and even grandsons were all strong men, and we had to teach them the feelings of recovering the country and martial arts. ”

A commander said: "Please rest assured that the general will not forget that we are the people of Da Yue, and we will pass on this sentiment to our sons and grandsons." Never forget to restore the country. ”

Fan Li nodded: "It's really my good brother." Remember, what I just said is a top state secret, and I can't say it to anyone. If the people of Wu find out, we will kill all of them. Now everyone go back to the camp and explain these truths to the brothers below. ”
