The Wei army turned Chang'an City upside down, but still did not find the wife and children of the leather leopard, Buliu Guli, Xi Liang and the Wei government and the opposition slowly turned from anger to fear, because after the soldiers and horses of the leather leopard accepted the reorganization of the cadre army, there was no longer an obstacle outside Chang'an City.

On the tenth day of the first month of June, the cadres directly approached the city, and on this day, the leopard came to the camp of the cadres in the west of Chang'an City to meet Zhao Junsheng.

The leather leopard is no longer the leather leopard of the year, and Zhao Junsheng is no longer the Zhao Junsheng of the year.

The leather leopard walked into the tent with a few henchmen, and saw Zhao Junsheng wearing gold armor and a golden helmet sitting on the main seat, and there were generals and officials standing on both sides, the scene was solemn and majestic.

"The leopard greets the king!"

Zhao Junsheng saw the leopard bow down with the four generals, raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, King!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What does General Pi think about next?" If you have an idea, you can think about it as you like! ”

The leopard said, "I don't know ······ of the minister's family now."

"They're safe, General Pi can rest assured!" Shen Hui stood up and said.

"In this case, the ministers will be at ease, and the other ministers will have nothing else to think about, and everything will be left to the king!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "If you are asked to stay and participate in the siege of the city, it will be embarrassing for you, after all, there are your former colleagues in the city, and you can't get by on the face, and you can understand Lonely!" But if it is a waste of talent to let you be idle, now that we are in the middle of employing people, of course it is impossible for a general like you to be idle at home. In this way, after the end of the Battle of Xingyang, there is a lack of generals to guard, how about you serve as the general of Xingyang for the time being? ”

The leather leopard was silent for a moment, hugged his fists and bowed: "King, now the minister's wife and children are still in Chang'an City, and the minister really has no heart to do things. ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed when he heard this: "Okay, you can rest in the camp for a while, and wait for the lonely attack on Chang'an City to rescue your wife and children, and then arrange a job for you!" ”

"Thank you for your compassion and gratitude!"

"Come on, prepare camp tents and living utensils for General Pi!" Zhao Junsheng commanded, and said to the leopard: "It's hard for you to come from Xinfeng, go down and rest, if there is anything Lonely, you will send someone to inform you!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

After the leopard and the others left, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Come on, go and call the captain of the craftsman battalion!" ”

Soon, Yu Jitian, the commander of the craftsman battalion, walked in to greet him: "Yu Jitian, the commander of the craftsman battalion, greets the king!" ”

"How long will it take for the siege equipment to be built?"

"Back to the king, it will take at least five days to complete the construction!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "You have been building for more than ten days, why do you need such a long time?" ”

"Back to the king's words, the wood used to build siege equipment is newly felled, all wet wood, can not be built directly, forced to build it is not easy to use, very heavy, several times heavier than dry wood, some siege equipment with wet materials can not exert the maximum power, such as trebuchets, bed crossbows, etc., so the ministers can only think of a way to use fire and sun at the same time to dry the tree materials, and can not be scorched, it is very laborious!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng realized that he had misunderstood these craftsmen, and said: "Complete the siege equipment as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Dongfang Chen stood up at this time and arched his hand and said: "King, we can't help but give the monarchs and ministers of Wei a chance to surrender, the ministers think that we should still send a messenger to persuade surrender or shoot a letter of persuasion to surrender to the city, and fighting a war is also about the rules, as the so-called salute first and then the soldiers, this is the current situation, we have been courteous for a few weeks, and others can't find fault with it!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and agreed: "Okay, you come and write a letter of persuasion, and order the military clerks to copy a thousand copies and shoot them into the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The next day, in the morning, the cadres besieging Chang'an City shot more than 1,000 arrows at the four walls, each of which was wearing a letter of persuasion.

Bu Liu Guli and Xi Liang got the news not too early, but it was not too late, and by the time they ordered the confiscation of all the letters of persuasion, the content of the letters of persuasion spread to the ears of all the defenders in less than an hour, and soon spread throughout the government and the opposition of the Wei State, and all the courtiers knew the content of the letters of persuasion.

For a while, the courtiers and generals each had their own careful thoughts.

Obviously, there is no way out by holding on to the end, this is already the consensus of everyone in the army in Chang'an City, only naïve people will believe that holding to the end can exhaust the patience of the cadres and make them confident to retreat.

The letter of persuasion made it very clear that as long as they surrendered, the soldiers could come and go freely, those who wanted to join the army could continue to stay in the army, those who did not want to join the army could receive the passage money and go home, the officers and colonels could retain their official posts, and the Qianguo Imperial Court would arrange other posts according to their former official positions, and their status would not be lower than before.

Zhao Junsheng's conditions are not lucrative and sincere, and now in front of the Wei court and the generals and soldiers of the army is whether it is worth the funeral of the Wei State that is about to perish!

The generals are bound by military discipline, although they have long wanted to surrender in their hearts, but they dare not show it, let alone put it into action, for fear of being reported after being discovered, then what awaits them is an extremely miserable end.

Many of the officers also had the idea and intention of surrendering, but they did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would be hunted down and killed before they could act.

The real minds are alive are those Wei ministers, they have no power at all in the current Wei court, and the power is in the hands of Buliu Guli and Xi Huan, the leading generals, they are just some decorations and echo worms, some of them have long wanted to do it, let alone accompany the funeral of Wei, and now the cadres are besieging the city, and there are good conditions for surrender, so it is strange that they have no other ideas.

There are many ministers of Wei who have the idea of surrendering, but they don't dare to act rashly, lest they be noticed and reported to Buliu Guli and Xi Huan, these two people are die-hard fans of Wei, if they know, they will definitely have to lose their heads.

The ministers then tested each other, and after two days, the results of the temptation came out, although no one said it explicitly, both sides of the temptation understood each other's thoughts, so the ministers of Wei, who both had the idea of surrendering the cadres, quietly gathered together to secretly discuss how to escape from the city.

That night, these people gathered at Doululuyuan's mansion to secretly discuss the escape strategy.

"The guards at this city gate are all Buliu Guli and Xi Liu's people, how easy is it for us to escape? As long as there is a slight rumor, Buliu Guli and Xi Liu's people will come to the door, and then I will die and have no place to be buried! He Laihui, the official of the foreign capital, said worriedly.

Zhu Qianzhi, the secretary of the treasury, said: "The lower officials have a way to escape, as long as you are willing to pay!" ”

His words were immediately ridiculed by others: "I said Zhu Shangshu, when is this coming, don't you joke?" Can you believe the matter of buying a road with money at this time? The person who is allowed to take the money has to spend it! ”

Zhu Qianzhi said with a serious face: "Mine is true, it's all at this time, how can I have the heart to joke with you?" I know a man who is in charge of one of the guards, and this man is a money-hungry man, and he will dare to do anything as long as he has money! ”

Ho Laihui's eyes widened and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"No lie!"

"What is this man's name? Which one to keep? ”

"It's inconvenient to disclose this, I can't break the rules, right?"

"Ahem!" Doululuyuan coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, he said: "It's not difficult to escape, the old man also has a way, this is not the key, the key is how to contact the top level of the cadre army, let's risk our lives to escape, we can't make some money to go home like a small soldier, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they hit the minds of all the officials, and all the officials echoed one after another: "What the old lady said is extremely true, how can this be connected with the high-level of the Qianguo?" ”

These people are all high-ranking officials and ministers of the Wei State, of course they don't want to be just a farmer and a rich man after surrendering, they still want to continue to be officials and ministers, how can they be willing to be a common man for the rest of their lives?

"Since the old lady said this, she must have an idea, right? Why don't you say it and let the big guy refer to it together, how about it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Someone immediately chimed in.

Dou Lu Luyuan looked at everyone and said: "The old man still has some friendship with Li Ji, the minister of Qianguo, as long as he can contact him after he goes out, and he recommends me to King Qian, it will be no problem for me to be an official in the future." It's just that we don't have the size to serve the Qianguo, even if the Qianwang wants to give me and other officials, it's not easy to speak, there is no reason! ”

This stumped these Wei ministers, and these people began to meditate one by one.

Zhu Qianzhi said at this time: "According to me, if you want to serve King Qianwang with merit, there is only one way!" ”

"How?"

Zhu Qianzhi's face was full of murderous aura: "Kill Buliu Guli and Xi Huan, and take the little emperor to surrender to King Qian, this credit is not small, right?" ”

Someone was frightened on the spot, "Zhu, Zhu, Brother Zhu, this joke can't be made, this is going to lose your head!" Besides, this is simply impossible, there are many guards around these two people, and almost all of them are in the city, and it is simply difficult for us who are powerless to kill the two of them! ”

Zhu Qianzhi said coldly: "That's not likely! The defenders in the city used to be Buliu Guli and Xi Yi's people, but now, not necessarily! Come to think of it, who doesn't know that this city can't be defended at all? If they could live, who would want to die? I believe that those generals are unwilling to give the two of Buliu Guli and Xi Huan a martyrdom, some of them must have already had the idea of surrendering, but they don't dare to show it easily, let alone act casually, I think we can do a lead! I also believe that you know a few of you in the army, so it is better for you to contact these generals individually, test their ideas, and if you can be sure, then think about instigating them! ”

When these Wei ministers heard this, hey, this method seems to be feasible, if they can rebel against most of the guards in the city, it is not very difficult to kill Bu Liuguli and Xi Huan.
