Zhou Nan smiled and said, "King Xiao, please take a seat, I'll tell you a story first." Xiao Gan was also momentarily angry, and after finishing speaking, he realized that what he had just said was too ridiculous, so he just sat down with Zhou Nan's words.

Zhou Nan said: "When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, they confronted each other in the Chenggao area, Xiang Yu didn't have much food and grass, so he wanted to fight with Liu Bang as soon as possible, and said to Liu Bang: The world has been in chaos for many years, all because of the relationship between the two of us, I am willing to fight with you, end the war as soon as possible, and don't let the people of the world suffer with us, what do you think?" Liu Bang only said eight words to Xiang Yu: I would rather fight wits than strength. "Speaking of which, I suddenly stopped talking.

But anyone who has read history books knows this story of Xiang Yu's courage and wanting to fight Liu Bang alone, but was humiliated by Liu Bang. Xiao Gan naturally hadn't read it, but he could tell from Zhou Nan's words that he was mocking him, and he was about to have a seizure, when he was pulled by Yelu Dashi's arm and dragged back to the chair.

Zhou Nan saw Xiao Gan sitting down, his expression was straight, and he said: "Explosive arrows and artillery, like swords, guns, bows and arrows, are used to win battles, not to be used as decorations. As you know, the Jin people have already led their troops to capture the important town of western Beijing and naturalize, and as soon as the naturalization and Fengsheng two states go, Juyongguan will bear the brunt. Let me ask you, can anyone dare to guard the Juyong Pass and not let the Jin people come in? ”

The following person said: "Juyong Pass has its own guards, why do you need someone to guard it?" ”

Of course, Zhou Nan knew that the current Juyong Pass was guarded, but Zhou Nan knew that the Jin people invaded Yanjing and came in through Juyong Pass. Although Juyong Pass is known as a one-man pass, and ten thousand people can't open it, it can't withstand an earthquake, which scared the Liao defenders of Juyong Pass into a hurry, so that the Jin army could easily come in.

But what can be said about such an outcome? Zhou Nan had no choice but to say: "Now that Xiao Shumi and Da Shi Linya have returned, I am calling you below, just to tell you: I must coordinate the troops and horses in the next and stick to the checkpoint." If you are willing to stay and help each other, you will naturally be rewarded in the future; If you want to leave, you will not be hindered from it, and your family, clansmen, and cronies in the city can leave together. But from now on, if there is any disobedience and collusion, I will not spare it! ”

When these words are spoken, it is the final declaration. I am sincere, all for the people of Yandi, and these people will naturally know it in the future. But if you start reasoning now, I'm afraid that there will be no conclusion in the last month. I just hope that I can stay at will, and if I choose to stay, I don't want to be a moth, and I have no patience to play with them.

No one spoke for a long time, and an old man sitting at the head of Zhang Lin stood up, first waved to Zhou Nan, then turned sideways, and said to the ministers in the hall: "Colleagues, the old man is a few years older, and he has seen many people. General Zhou can put the people first, enter the city and make repeated moves, and feel comfortable in the hearts of the people. It can be said that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are all five constants. ”

Yu Zhongwen paused, and then said: "The old man is not flattering, but he really sees it with his eyes and feels it in his heart. The so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, benevolence, lovers, although they have soldiers and horses, after entering the city, they have not killed a single person; The righteous should also, respect the virtuous is great, after the Wansheng army entered the city, the hundred officials are still in their positions, and the hundred industries in the city have not withered, which is also righteous; After entering the city, he first met his mother, and ordered to treat the royal family with courtesy, not exceeding the rules, and this is also a courtesy; With a great heart of right and wrong, focusing on the common people, he can grasp the opportunity, and he can attack Yanjing without going through swords, which is also wise; The proclamation written before entering the city was written to the people, and they were all able to do it, and this is also the letter. The old man is willing to lead the whole clan to help General Zhou resist foreign aggression and stick to Yandi! ”

Yu Zhongwen first promised to help Zhou Nan, and some ministers who shared the honor and disgrace with Yu Zhongwen, or some ministers who agreed with Zhou Nan's approach, or those who could not leave Yanjing, all stood up one after another, and declared to Zhou Nanqi that they were willing to fully assist General Zhou to resist foreign aggression and defend the territory, seeing that most of the people were willing to stay.

The virtuous woman sat there all the time, not saying a word. Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi sat opposite Xiao Puxian, their faces were as usual, and they didn't know what the two were thinking, but as someone below stood up and spoke, they turned their heads from time to time to see who stood up and showed their loyalty to Zhou Nan.

When no one spoke in the main hall, Zhou Nan asked Xiao Puxian, "I don't know what Niangniang's plans are?" ”

Xiao Puxian said softly: "If General Zhou can treat the people of Yandi well, and is willing to leave a trace of blood for the Khitan, so that I will not be shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors, I will have nothing to say." In fact, General Zhou doesn't have to be so merciful, he just needs to kill all the people in the palace who don't obey him, or those who are difficult to recover, wouldn't he end up calm? ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "I can't bear to take Yanjing in my heart, so why slaughter everyone?" The people are not willing to kill casually, not to mention that everyone is a person of virtue and ability? ”

Yelu Dashi spoke at this time: "You only said that it was for the people of Yandi, how do you know that you are not a spy of the southerners?" Take down Yanjing, isn't it to be dedicated to the Song people? ”

Zhou Nan smiled slightly and said, "If I am from the Song Dynasty, why bother to tie up all the people in the palace and escort them to Tokyo, wouldn't it be better?" ”

For Yelu Dashi, the future founding emperor of Western Liao, he has never had the heart to solicit, if he stays, then in the future, Central Asia will not be less dazzling?

Yelu Dashi seemed to be a little disbelieving, and asked again: "Where did General Zhou's explosive arrows come from?" "Yelu Dashi has always been apprehensive about Zhou Nan's explosive arrows.

"Da Shi Linya must have seen the fire cannon of the Song people, right? Da Liao must have it, dare to ask Lin Ya, which is more powerful, this fire cannon or explosive arrow? Zhou Nan asked.

"Naturally, the explosion is powerful!" Yelu Dashi told the truth, suddenly came to his senses, and said, "General Zhou's bombing arrow didn't come from the Southern Dynasty? ”

Zhou Nan nodded, and Yelu Dashi said convincingly: "Sure enough, he is a hero and a young man." With this explosive arrow, it is natural to dare to say that it can protect the people of Yandi. ”

"If I have this thing in Da Liao, why worry about losing my land and not returning?!" Xiao Puxian said to herself.

The flower slave standing behind Xiao Puxian, listening to Xiao Puxian's sigh, hurriedly walked to the front, bowed deeply, and said, "The slave and maid thanked the general on behalf of my mother." ”

Xiao Puxian sat on Zhou Nan's left hand side, and Hua Nu stood up and deliberately moved forward, only three feet away from Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan saw that it was a maid, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and be exempt." At this time, Yelu Dashi said loudly: "I don't know how the general will stick to the checkpoint?" ”

Zhou Nan asked, looked at Yelu Dashi, and was about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of a little cold light stabbing at him, Zhou Nan was too late to dodge left and right, so he had to fall backwards, but he still felt a cold in his chest.
