In the city of Hangzhou, when he saw Qian Biao again, Pi Guangye was much more surprised than last time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The last time I went into the city as a messenger to persuade him to surrender, although the Qian Biao he saw looked a little decadent, at least he was not old; And the Qian Biao I saw this time was full of silver hair and haggard, as if he was dozens of years old.

He knew that this must have played a role in the news that Zhu Quanzhong, who had been spread to the city by Huainan through various channels during this time, had given up on them.

Naturally, it is impossible for Yang Wu to have the final say in this kind of matter, and he must consult Yang Xingmi before sending an envoy into the city to persuade him to surrender.

Therefore, at this time, in addition to Pi Guangye, the envoys who entered the city also had Qian Chuanhui who rushed over from Guangling.

"Father, the child is not filial, and he can't stay in the city to serve his father......" As soon as they met, Qian Chuanhui was excited and a little choked.

Qian Biao sighed, at this time he naturally knew that the general trend had gone; In fact, when he received the news that the Huainan army had entered the city a few days ago, he felt hopeless.

But after all, it was the news delivered by Huainan, and he still didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it. But now that even his own son has come into the city to persuade him to surrender, can he still doubt it at this time?

He stood up and patted Qian Chuanhui on the shoulder and said, "Get up, when I sent you to Guangling to be a proton, my father couldn't stand you, how could I blame you?" ”

He looked at Pi Guangye and said bluntly: "Say, Yang Xingmi asked you to persuade you to surrender, what conditions did you offer?" ”

As a tyrant who is about to perish, he has already prepared for the worst in his heart, so he can face it calmly at this time.

On the contrary, the two Zhejiang generals who stood at the beginning were full of sadness, obviously difficult to accept what was about to happen.

Pi Guangye saw that Qian Biao said directly, so he didn't go around in circles, and said also very directly: "The king of my family said that although you and I have been fighting for many years, each has its own damage; But when he fought against Sun Ru, he also became an ally, and the king was very helpful to me Huainan, and this kindness has always been remembered by my king. Therefore, if the king is willing to surrender, my king is willing to agree to the following conditions! ”

He looked up at Qian Biao's expression, and saw that his face did not change in the slightest, so he immediately continued: "First of all, the two families are at war and have nothing to do with the people of Hangzhou, so my Huainan army will not hurt the people after entering the city. ”

When this was said, a hint of joy immediately appeared on Qian Biao's face.

Although he knew that the military discipline of the Huainan army was good, he should not do anything to slaughter the people, but after all, the loss of Huainan siege during this period of time was too great, and if Yang Wu did the slaughter of the city in order to boost the morale of the army and vent his anger, it would not be impossible.

As a native of Hangzhou, Qian Biao no longer expects any wealth and glory at this time, but if he is slaughtered because of himself, he is afraid that he will feel guilty even if he dies.

Pi Guangye saw the joy that flashed on Qian Biao's face, and immediately knew his intentions, but he had a trace of respect for him in his heart.

At such a time, he can still think about the life and death of the people, and this alone is more than a hundred times stronger than most of the other feudal towns of this era.

"The second point is that although the generals under the command of the king are enemies of our Huainan and cause heavy casualties to our army, they all obey the orders of the king, which is loyal to their duties, not their sin. Therefore, my lord thinks that these generals who can be loyal to their duties should not be punished. The soldiers of the defending army should not be punished, they will be integrated into our Huainan army and enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers of our Huainan army. ”

When the generals below heard this, their faces suddenly relaxed, after all, they are also human beings, fighting for Qian Biao is to be loyal, even if they are retaliated against by Huainan because of this, they will not regret it.

However, if Yang Xingmi, who is an enemy, not only does not blame them for their actions, but can affirm their actions, then what could be more grateful?

So at this time, the resentment of Huainan in the hearts of the generals was suddenly greatly reduced.

Qian Biao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that Yang Xingmi just asked Pi Guangye to relay a few words to appease the generals under his command.

However, just as he was happy when he heard that the people of Hangzhou would not be affected, he was also relieved to hear that his subordinates would not be held accountable at this time.

Although he is not as famous for his generosity as Yang Xingmi, he is still very good to his subordinates, otherwise there would not be so many generals who support and support him and are willing to fight to the death for him.

Pi Guangye turned his head to look at the generals and said: "The king of my family said that the defeat of the generals is not a crime of war. If you are willing, you can join my Huainan Army. With your abilities, I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince of my family will not treat you badly. ”

Sima Fu and the others were moved in their hearts when they heard this, everything they should do now had been done, and it was time to think about the future of themselves and their families.

Especially young generals like Sima Fu, they are not very old now, but they are not willing to live their whole lives.

So after listening to Pi Guangye's words, he immediately became a little moved.

But the most important point is how to treat Qian Biao and the Qian family, which is the key to the problem. These generals fought desperately during this time, didn't they just be loyal to Qian Di?

"Mr. Pi, it's useless to say so much. We only care about one thing, that is, if I surrender in Hangzhou, what kind of treatment will my king and his family receive? If this matter does not satisfy me and the other generals, then we and the other generals would rather fight to the end than surrender! Sima Fu shouted.

"Yes, if I can't, my king can't get courtesy, I'll wait and die!"

"Die or die!"

……

The other generals also shouted, one by one emotional, obviously if they could not give a good explanation, this surrender would be difficult to achieve.

Pi Guangye sneered: "What, do you still expect your king to continue to be the king of Yue when he arrives in Huainan?" ”

The generals couldn't help but hesitate when they heard this, they also knew that this was impossible, Yang Xingmi himself was just a prince, how could he let Qian Biao continue to stand side by side with him?

And even if he was willing, so many generals in Huainan were afraid and unwilling.

And Yang Wu, as the son of King Wu and the future heir of Huainan, will he allow a person with a higher title than himself to be under his hands?

I'm afraid that even if Huainan agrees to keep Qian Biao's title now, it will definitely become Qian Biao's way of death in the future.

Although these generals don't know much about politics, they still understand such basic truths.

Luo Yin glanced at Qian Biao and sighed: "After all, the king of my family is the king of Yue who is enshrined by the imperial court, and although King Wu is also a prince, he should not dare to directly depose the title of the king of my family, right?" ”

"So the king of my family will write to the court and take the initiative to ask for the removal of the title of King Yue. I don't know what Secretary Pi thinks? ”

On the side, hearing that he was going to go to the book to remove the king's name, Qian Biao's face couldn't help but be full of pain.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, although the prince is no longer very valuable, there are still only a few people who can be named a prince by the imperial court.

As for the more noble princes, there were only a few of the most powerful feudal towns.

In addition to Qian Bi, the rest of the Liang King Zhu Quanzhong, the Jin King Li Keyong, the Shu King Wang Jian, the Qi King Li Maozhen, and the Wu King Yang Xingmi, these five are also the most powerful five feudal towns today.

The reason why Qian Biao was able to be named the prince was that Zhu Quanzhong mediated for him in the court; second, he had the merit of pacifying Dong Chang, a traitor who usurped himself as emperor; The third is that he has fought with Huainan many times, and he has not fallen behind and has shown enough strength.

Who knew that it had only been two years since he was crowned King of Yue, and he had fallen into the miserable situation he is in.

In the past few decades of conquest, there have been defeated and surrendered Jiedu envoys, but there has not been a single prince who has surrendered defeated.

Thinking that he would be the first prince to surrender in defeat, and that he would have to write to remove the king's name, his face was full of grief and humiliation.

Still, he remained silent and did not speak.

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Pi Guangye said: "It is inevitable that King Yue will go to the king, but after all, King Yue helped Huainan at the beginning, and my king has never forgotten this kindness." Therefore, the king of my family said that after the king of Yue went to the king, he could be named the prince of Yueguo. ”

Hearing that Qian Biao would also be crowned the Duke of Yue after surrendering, the generals showed joy in their hearts, and at the same time they were more grateful for Yang Xingmi's magnanimity.

"But ......" only listened to Pi Guangye continue: "This time in order to attack Hangzhou, my Huainan army suffered heavy losses. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince of my family thinks that it should be compensated by the Yue Wang family. ”

"Since the king of my family has surrendered, then the money and grain in the Hangzhou treasury belong to Huainan. Isn't that enough to compensate? Luo Yin asked in a deep voice.

Pi Guangye shook his head and said: "Mr. Luo also said that after the surrender of King Yue, the money and grain in the Hangzhou treasury will belong to me Huainan." If this money and grain are used to compensate for the losses of our army, it will not be the compensation of the king of Yue, but the compensation carried out by my Huainan. Shouldn't the king of Yue be responsible for his insistence on resisting our army, so that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on both sides were killed and wounded? ”

Luo Yin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and the generals didn't know how to refute for a while.

I only heard Pi Guangye say again: "So after the Yue Wang's family surrendered, except for leaving 10,000 pieces of property to maintain daily use, all the rest of the property will be used to compensate for the casualties of the soldiers and people on both sides!" ”

"Poof......" Hearing this, Qian Biao spurted out a mouthful of blood.

As a prince, he had to bow his head to his old enemy, which already made him feel extremely humiliated, and if he had to use his family wealth to compensate in the future, then this humiliation would be a bit great.

The Qian family is such a big family, if they go to Guangling to send people under the fence in the future, these various expenses are only afraid of being small. Coupled with the special status of my family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find sufficient financial resources.

If only 10,000 yuan is left, Qian Biao can imagine how difficult the future will be.

It's not that he can't stand the hard days, it's just that he is a prince after all, does he have to suffer that kind of humiliation now that he is old?

"Father's ......"

"The King's ......"

Seeing that Qian Biao vomited blood, Qian Chuanxuan and the others couldn't sit still, so they hurriedly hugged him and held him up.
