Chapter 214: I want to procrastinate

The prince was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Oh, they sent out two soldiers, and they are still in a carriage, and there are boxes in the back of the carriage, what does that mean?"

The soldier said:

"Prince, what should we do now?"

太子 says:

"Don't worry, let's wait a while, see what these two soldiers say after they come, if they are willing to surrender to our royal family, then it would be the best, if they dare to play any tricks, then we will immediately launch a siege plan, let those soldiers who defend the city know the power of our royal family!"

The soldier nodded:

"Well, what the prince said is very true, the subordinates will go out and wait, and as soon as the two soldiers arrive, the subordinates will immediately bring the two of them to the prince."

太子 says:

"Well, then you go and wait, and bring them to me as soon as possible, and I'll see what tricks they can play."

The soldier clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, prince, my subordinates will retire first."

Then the soldier turned and went out of the tent, and went outside to wait for the two soldiers in the carriage who had come out of the city.

The two soldiers who were defending the city from the carriage in the city also drove the carriage slowly and slowly towards the camp of the royal family.

Soon, two soldiers defending the city came to the front of the royal camp in a carriage.

The soldiers who had been waiting outside the camp for a long time immediately stepped forward and shouted:

"Stop, your general sent you, right? What do you think? Did your general agree to surrender to our royal family? ”

The two soldiers defending the city immediately stopped the carriage, and one of the soldiers said:

"We are here to find your emperor and crown prince, we have a letter from the general to give to them, please take us to meet them!"

The soldier on the royal side said:

"Good! What's in the box you're pulling in the back of your wagon? Shouldn't it be pretending to be delicious and delicious, come and reward our royal people! ”

As soon as the words of the royal soldier fell, a large number of royal soldiers standing behind him couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, the two soldiers defending the city also looked very calm on their faces.

One of the soldiers defending the city said:

"Don't laugh, we are here to discuss important matters with your emperor and the crown prince, hurry up and take us to meet your emperor and the crown prince."

A soldier on the royal side stepped forward and said:

"Okay, you two come with me, and I'll take you to see our emperor and crown prince."

A soldier from the royal family immediately led the two soldiers guarding the city to the tent of the emperor and the crown prince.

Several soldiers from the royal family also stepped forward to pull the carriage driven by the two soldiers guarding the city into the camp.

One of the royal soldiers, led by the two soldiers defending the city, soon came to the tent of the emperor and the crown prince.

The soldier then got into the tent of the emperor and the prince, and said with his fists in his hands:

"Subordinates, see the emperor and the crown prince."

The emperor then said:

"Report what's going on."

Then the soldier said:

"Emperor Qi, the crown prince, the soldiers in the city in front of you have come to see the emperor and the prince, and the subordinates have brought this to you."

The emperor and the crown prince glanced at each other.

The prince then said:

"Oh, did the people bring it?"

The soldier clenched his fists and said:

"Two soldiers from inside the city are already waiting outside the tent to announce the announcement."

The emperor said seriously:

"Well, hurry up and announce to them."

The soldier clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will come out of the tent and call the two soldiers outside the tent in."

When he had finished speaking, the soldier turned and went out of the tent, and when he came out of the tent, he said to the two soldiers who were waiting outside the tent:

"Our emperor and the crown prince announced that the two of you will meet, but before you go in and meet with the emperor and the crown prince, my body search for you, please cooperate! That's what I do. ”

The two soldiers defending the city immediately crossed their hands and said in unison:

"Hurry up and search yourself!"

The soldier then searched the two soldiers defending the city very strictly, and after a search, he found nothing unusual, and said:

"Okay, you two can go into the tent to meet our emperor and crown prince."

The two soldiers guarding the city immediately walked quickly into the tent where the emperor and the prince were located.

The emperor and the crown prince saw that the two soldiers defending the city had entered the tent.

The prince then asked:

"Did you come on the orders of your general? What is your general thinking? Seeing that it is almost noon, and the deadline for this day is approaching, should your general send you to inform you that you are going to surrender to our royal family? ”

One of the soldiers defending the city then clasped his fists and said:

"Prince, the two of us did come to see the emperor and the prince on the order of the general, this is our general's handwritten letter, please take a look at the emperor and the prince."

After speaking, the soldier defending the city immediately took out a letter from his chest and handed it to the prince.

The prince stepped forward and took the letter from the hand of the soldier guarding the city, then opened it, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said:

"You generals are really powerful! Our royal family has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the people of our royal family have also given him enough face, but I didn't expect it to be at this time, and I still want to talk to us about the conditions, in my opinion, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! It's a joke that you want our royal family to give you another day of consideration and deliberation for a mere 1,000 taels of silver, so go back and tell your general now, either open the city gate immediately, and all the soldiers in the city will surrender to our royal family, or wait for our royal family's soldiers and horses to attack the city! ”

When the emperor heard the prince's words, he immediately stood up, walked forward and took the letter in the prince's hand, took a closer look, and couldn't help but smile, and said:

"I didn't expect your general to be so generous! In just one day, I am willing to exchange this thousand taels of silver, and this transaction is not a loss! ”

When the crown prince heard the emperor's words, he was also shocked, he didn't think that his father would say such a thing, he was full of confusion and said:

"Father, what do you mean by that? Now it's not a matter of silver or silver, it's that they don't follow the rules, yesterday we sent someone to agree on the time and deadline with them, and now that the deadline for one day has arrived, they don't keep their promises, then we don't have to be polite to them, and directly send troops to attack the city, but they know how powerful our royal family is. ”

The emperor smiled and said:

"Prince, this matter is not non-negotiable in the eyes of my father! They just haven't thought about it yet! Since they have now given one more day of time to consider and discuss, and are willing to give one thousand taels of silver in exchange, I think it is a good deal for us to trade, besides, our royal family has 50,000 soldiers and horses, which will be eaten and drunk, and we have this thousand taels of silver, which is enough for our soldiers to eat and drink for a while, so I promised them that I would give them one more day of time for consideration and deliberation, and the one thousand taels of silver they gave them, but at noon tomorrow, let their generals have to make a choice, If you can't give a result when the time comes, then don't blame our royal family for not giving them a chance. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, the prince suddenly looked entangled and said:

"Father, my son thinks this is absolutely unacceptable!"

The emperor then said:

"The prince doesn't have to argue, this matter will be done according to what the emperor said, let's give them one more day to consider and discuss, but this is the deadline, and I won't take it as an example."

Seeing that the emperor was so insistent, the prince couldn't say anything more, and said:

"Well, since my father has said so, the ministers have no opinion, so I will do what my father wants."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Well, that's right."

The prince then said to the two soldiers who were defending the city:

"You go back and tell your general that our royal family doesn't want to hurt the innocent, so we will agree to your suggestion, and give you one more day to consider discussing the matter of surrendering to our royal family, but you don't want to take an inch, thinking that our royal family is easy to talk to, tomorrow at noon, if you still can't show the sincerity of surrendering, then our royal family's soldiers and horses will attack the city at any time, do you hear clearly?"

The two soldiers defending the city then clasped their fists and said:

"Yes, we will tell our general what you mean when we go back."

太子 says:

"Okay, then you should hurry back to the city, and let your general make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, you will not end well, and anyone who opposes our royal family will be eradicated."

One of the soldiers defending the city then said:

"Please rest assured, the emperor and the crown prince, we will definitely convey your words to our general after we go back, you just wait for the news, our general also said, tomorrow at noon, we will definitely give your royal family a satisfactory answer."

The prince nodded and said:

"Okay, you can go first, we will accept a thousand taels of silver, and we will wait for your results at noon tomorrow."

The two soldiers defending the city clasped their fists and said:

"Yes, the emperor and the crown prince, we will leave first."

After saying that, the two soldiers defending the city immediately turned around, walked out of the door quickly, quickly left the camp of the royal family, and went back to the city.

After the two soldiers defending the city came out of the tent, the prince asked the emperor with a puzzled expression:

"Father, how can you accede to their request? We have to take a big risk for this thousand taels of silver, do you know? ”

The emperor then said:

"Oh, you should tell me that if we give them one more day to consider and discuss the matter of this surrender, what big risk will our royal family take?"

The prince said seriously:

"Father, it's not clear that they just want to stall for time! The purpose of their delay is just to wait for reinforcements! They don't think we really don't know what they're thinking! If the reinforcements sent by Wan Jinbao arrive, it will bring difficulties to our siege! ”
