In the handsome tent, Zhu Zhu looked at the majestic and handsome face of the general of the cadre army sitting on the main seat with the big horse golden knife, his body was tall and resolute, and his face was angular and angular, such a person was actually named Niu Dali? This simply subverts Zhu Zhu's three-view standard.

Although Zhu Zhu was surprised that Niu Dali's name did not match his appearance and temperament, Zhu Zhu quickly came back to his senses and saluted: "Bo Zhu Zhu, the lord of Jiangxia County of the Great Song Dynasty, pays a visit to General Niu!" My family is too shou Pang Mansion Jun to convey his greetings to the general."

It was actually Zhao Junsheng who was sitting on the main seat, and Niu Dali was standing next to him.

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Pang Taishou has a heart, the general heard the report of the sentry cavalry that Pang Taishou intended to surrender to our army, so he sent Zhu Zhubo to come to negotiate with him?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Okay! General Ben admires Pang Taishou very much, Pang Taishou can think of surrendering to our court, General Ben is very pleased, and it is also beneficial to our army and the soldiers and civilians in Jiangxia City, our army can avoid the casualties of the siege, and the soldiers and civilians in Jiangxia City can also avoid the pain of war! I don't know what conditions and requirements Pang Taishou has for the surrender of sincerity, this general can be the master will definitely agree, if this general can't be the master, he will immediately send a fast horse to report to my emperor, try to mediate one or two! ”

Zhu Zhuan arched his hand and said: "So that the general will know that there are 3,000 brave soldiers in my Jiangxia City, more than 10,000 people, the city defense is strong, the facilities are complete, the equipment to defend the city is sufficient, the morale of the soldiers is high, and everyone has the determination and courage to live and die with the city, but my family is too defensive to bear the destruction of the city and the heavy casualties of the army and civilians, so I consider surrendering to the Gui Dynasty!" ”

"Therefore, in order to appease the military and civilian officials in various parts of the county, my family Taishou put forward the following conditions and requirements, and I also hope that the general will agree: first, after surrendering, the official title of my family Taishou cannot be lower than the current official title and immediately return it to his family, so that the Taishou family can be reunited; Second, the defenders in the city can be redeployed, but they cannot be dismantled, and the salaries, quarters, and other treatment must be the same as those of the cadres; Thirdly, if the officials at all levels in the county have no bad deeds, the court must retain them as much as possible, and they must not be deprived of their official positions for any reason; Fourth, even if officials at all levels in the county have bad deeds, the court can do without them, but they must no longer pursue past mistakes; Fifth, when the army takes over the cities in the county, it must not infringe on the military and civilian people in various places, and must strictly enforce military discipline and restrain the behavior of the soldiers. ”

"The above items are the conditions and requirements of my family's Taishou, I don't know what the general thinks?"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and said: "Pang Taishou's requests are not excessive, and they are reasonable, and the next three generals can reply to Zhu Zhubo now, and the generals agree!" As for the first two items, the general does not have such great authority, according to the current system of this dynasty, the appointment and dismissal of officials at and above the county order level must be reviewed and approved by the three levels of the ministry, Shangshutai and the emperor; The arrangement of the Jiangxia garrison should be decided by the Ministry of War and Shang Shutai, and the general can't reply to you for the time being, but this is not a big problem, the general can write to the emperor and send eight hundred miles to the imperial approval expedited, and the emperor will decide it himself, so the speed will be much faster! ”

Zhu Zhu thought for a while and asked, "Then I don't know how long it will take for us to receive an exact answer?" ”

Zhao Junsheng stretched out three fingers: "There will be news within three days!" ”

"That's great!"

Zhu Zhu said and said: "The general sent people under the city to say that Shen Qingzhi's army has been completely annihilated by your army, I wonder if I can let you see General Shen in the next place?" General Shen is the former boss of my family, and my family is very worried about General Shen's safety, and I ask the general to fulfill it! ”

At this time, the small colonel outside the tent walked in and whispered a few words in Zhao Junsheng's ear, Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhu Zhu after listening, thought about it for a while, and then whispered a few words in the small school's ear, and the small colonel turned around and left after holding his fists and agreeing.

Zhao Junsheng said to Zhu Zhu at this time: "Zhu Zhu Bo's request is very reasonable, and Pang Taishou's mood is also understood by the general, but after General Shen Qingzhi died in battle, the general ordered him to be buried with the general's courtesy. ”

Zhu Zhu was shocked in his heart, is what Zhao Junsheng said true or false? He asked again: "Then I don't know what happened to the generals and colonels under General Shen, such as Zong Wei and Lu Shangqi, whether they are alive or dead?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "These people are still alive and have been captured by our army, if Zhu Zhubo wants to see them, this general can send fast horses to intercept them, they are already on the way to Chang'an, but they should not have gone far!" ”

Zhu Zhu looked at Zhao Junsheng and arched his hand: "Then please ask the general to send someone to intercept them, and after the general and my family Taishou have negotiated, I will go to see them in the next place!" ”

"What's so hard about that? Come! ”

Niu vigorously stood up and hugged his fists: "In!" ”

"Send fast horses to catch up and intercept the men and horses escorting Zong Yu and Lu Shangqi, and let them stay where they are for a few days, waiting for orders!"

"No!"

Zhu Zhu thought in his heart at this time, and he didn't know if Liu Gon's guy had already probed the deployment inside and outside the camp of the cadres, so he heard Zhao Junsheng say: "It's not easy for Zhu Zhu's Bo to come here, the general has sent someone to prepare wine and food, please Zhu Zhu's Bo go down to rest first, and later Ben will send someone to invite Zhu Bo to come to the banquet!" ”

Zhu Zhu didn't want to refuse, and he also wanted to give Liu Gon more time to investigate, so he agreed: "Then bother the general!" ”

After walking out of the tent, Zhu Zhu looked left and right, but he didn't see Liu Gon, and thought to himself, could this guy go to the camp of the cadres to investigate around? That's too bold, isn't it?

He asked the soldier standing guard next to him, "What about Liu Sima who came with me?" ”

"Liu Sima said that he was in a hurry, and he went to the toilet!"

The little colonel who led the way said: "That is the case, please also ask Zhu Zhubo to go to the camp with me to rest first, and when Liu Sima comes back, I will lead him over to meet Zhu Zhu!" ”

"Very good, very good, there is General Lao!"

As soon as Zhu Zhu left, Liu Gon was led to a handsome tent by another small school.

"Sima Liu, this is our General Niu!" The small school introduced Zhao Junsheng to Liu Gon.

Liu Gon immediately clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Jiangxia Army Sima meets General Niu!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked: "This general heard that Liu Sima had the intention of surrendering to Cheng, and reported that Pang Faqi sent Zhu Zhu to discuss the matter of surrendering to Cheng on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to explore the terrain and defensive deployment inside and outside our army's camp, so as to carry out a night attack at night?" ”

Liu Gon clenched his fists and replied: "General Hui, that's exactly the case!" Pang Faqi sent Zai Xia and Zhu Zhu to come over for another purpose, that is, to confirm the truth of the news that Shen Qingzhi's army was being sent by the whole army, so that he could send someone to cross the river to report to Xiao Bin, and he could decide whether to stick to the city and wait for help or abandon the city and cross the river after receiving Xiao Bin's instructions! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Pang Faqi told you about his overall plan?" ”

"Having said that, with Pang Faqi's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to really surrender, he ostensibly vetoed the plan to wait for reinforcements, and sent us here to explore the terrain and deployment of defenses, and to discuss surrender is just a pretext, for a night attack! If it weren't for the conversation between him and his son last night, he would have been deceived by him! ”

"Later, after going back, draw the surrounding terrain and defenses, find the flaws and loopholes, and then the defenders will go out to carry out a night attack, if it is successful, it will be fine; If it fails, Pang Faqi will choose whether to defend to the death according to Xiao Bin's instructions, or break through to the river and wait for the other side to send a fleet to come and respond! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Pang Faqi has a good plan, when the situation in our military camp is discovered, he will find a loophole to carry out a night attack, so that not only can he severely damage our army, but also take advantage of the situation to rescue his mother and family, and resolve the unfavorable situation of him being coerced by the lives of his family, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!" ”

"By the way, I want to ask Liu Sima, why did you betray the Song State and betray Pang Faqi and the soldiers and civilians in the city?"

Liu Gon was a little embarrassed on his face, but he quickly adjusted and said with a heart: "The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters!" Now the Great Song Dynasty court is rotten, the court and the government are tyrannical to the people, making the people miserable, and up to the emperor, down to the ordinary officials only know how to spend all day drinking, drunk and dreaming of death, especially the emperor has been brutal and unkind in recent years, loyal ministers are not allowed to be reused, and treacherous villains have been repeatedly favored, what is the future and hope for such a court? ”

"On the other hand, Emperor Daqian is wise and martial, the court is politically clear, the officials are honest, and they are vying to be the first to ask for the people's lives, the folk culture is prosperous, the people are rich, and the law and order are good in various places.

"Moreover, this time I betrayed not the soldiers and civilians in the city, but Pang Faqi alone, this person is stubborn, like a stone in the pit smelly and hard, if he wants to defend to the end, the whole city of soldiers and civilians will be dragged by him to be buried together, such a person seems to be loyal and loyal, but in fact he is a selfish person, for his own pitiful reputation, he does not care about the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, he is the most hateful, the most hateful, it is not a pity to die, I Liu Gon betrayed him, there is absolutely no conscience in my heart!"

, is this Liu Gon really a talent, he can say so, Pang Faqi such a loyal person was actually said by him to be a selfish person, he said his betrayal and surrender to the righteous and awe-inspiring, and said that the black is white, it is a pity that such a person is a military general, he should be the official mouthpiece!

Zhao Junsheng nodded in approval: "Liu Sima's words are deeply in line with my wishes!" Listening to what you just meant, you want to bring the whole city of soldiers and civilians to surrender, what are you going to do? ”

Liu Gon immediately told Zhao Junsheng his thoughts, Zhao Junsheng nodded again and again when he heard it, and secretly sighed in his heart The depth of this guy's scheming!
