Chapter 60: Persuasion to surrender Zhang Zhongjian

After entering the city, Zhang Chuchen explained the recent situation of the senior brother and sister after separation, and the purpose of this trip to Zhang Zhongjian in detail, Zhang Zhongjian asked in surprise: "I didn't expect that after you and my senior brother and sister separated, the life of the senior sister would be so bumpy!" Now that you are a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, in this way, my sister has decided to stand on the side of the court in this world of great contention! ”

Zhang Chuchen nodded and said: "Yes, I have the honor to meet the emperor of our Great Sui with my own eyes, I look at him, it is not like the faint monarch in other people's mouths, and this time, our family is also thanks to the favor of the Holy Grace, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Senior Brother to see me again!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian sighed and said: "Alas, since the separation of the master, you have returned to your hometown, Senior Brother Jing has successfully entered the office, and I have benefited the world alone, and I have seen the suffering of the people and the greed of the local government, and since then I have secretly made up my mind that I must make achievements for the dawn people of the world in this life!" Therefore, after traveling the world, the senior brother returned to his hometown, inherited his father's business, and prepared to use it to help the people. ”

"After the chaos in the world, my father also died of serious illness, and the governance of Pengcheng was even more chaotic, and there were bandits everywhere. Therefore, the senior brother planned for the people, and personally came forward to unite the local gentry and wang clan, everyone had money to contribute, and made a powerful contribution, and formed several righteous armies with the people, killed the local corrupt officials, drove away the bandits, and achieved self-reliance in Pengcheng! Over the years, the counties around Pengcheng have been trampled by thieves, and Pengcheng can be called a pure land in this troubled world! ”

"Senior sister, senior brother is not an ambitious person who wants to take advantage of the chaos to stand on his own feet and seek personal gain! Senior brother just wants to get rid of violence, restore order, and return the people to live in peace! What Senior Brother is now representing is the interests of tens of millions of people in Pengcheng, and he has to consider it carefully. Have you ever met the Great Sui Emperor, is he really a person to be trusted? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chuchen nodded affirmatively and said, "Senior brother, you also know that Senior Sister, my eyes are above the top, and I am extremely accurate in seeing people!" Although I have only seen the Holy One, he gives me the impression that he is an ambitious king who cares about the world, and from the fact that he has to help the people even if he withholds military rations, we can see that our Holy God is a trustworthy and trustworthy person! ”

"The ancients said that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world! Although the senior brother is the lord of Pengcheng City, he can benefit the people of one side, but compared to the vast number of people in the dawn who are in dire straits, he is just a drop in the ocean! Moreover, Pengcheng is only a corner of the land, and now the princes of all walks of life are still competing with each other, and the situation in the world is still in a delicate balance, but when this balance is broken, the land of Pengcheng will inevitably be included in their jurisdiction. When the time comes, no matter what the outcome is, it can't be up to the wishes of the senior brother! ”

"Senior brother, you are well-informed, you should know that the thieves who are rampant and committing crimes in the world are the source of the trouble! They were originally ordinary people, who rebelled and rebelled for various reasons, but when they were really strong, they bullied their former 'selves' and became the people they hated the most! Moreover, these rogues only know about destruction and do not know how to build, and they only want to blindly ask for it, and they will not give anything in return! If the world falls into the hands of such people, this will not only not be a blessing for the people, but will also bring great disasters to the world! ”

"Therefore, only by joining the imperial court with my little sister, serving the country, and stepping onto a bigger and broader stage, can we give full play to our strengths, help more people, and realize our ideal and ambition of helping the world!"

Listening to Zhang Chuchen's words, Zhang Zhongjian frowned, his expression was entangled, his eyes blinked, and before long, Zhang Zhongjian let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhang Chuchen firmly, and said, "Senior sister, you really said it to Senior Brother's heart!" Senior brother has also been worried about Pengcheng's future, and he refused to surrender to the imperial court before, because he was too disappointed in the imperial court! Now, little sister, you have made your choice to let my senior brother see the hope of Pengcheng's future and the hope of the people of the world in the future! The senior brother is willing to gamble, follow the junior sister to be loyal to the court, make contributions to the court, and return the people of the world to Lang Lang! ”

Hearing that Zhang Zhongjian was willing to submit to the imperial court, Zhang Chuchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother!" Master once taught the three of us the word 'righteousness' and the word 'chivalry'. The so-called righteousness is the righteousness of my three brothers and sisters, Jin Lan, and the love of brothers; The so-called chivalry is to act chivalrous and righteous and do the right thing for heaven! If one day, the court to which we are loyal will not see the light of the dawn, then we will act for heaven and oppose him! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjian applauded and praised: "Good! Senior sister deserves to be a heroine, especially above me and Senior Brother Jing! Then, according to what the senior sister said, the senior brother is willing to return to the court and make contributions to the people! ”

Zhang Chuchen smiled slightly, and said with a sweet smile: "Senior brother praise! In that case, then Senior Brother should quickly open the city and welcome Ambassador Pei into the city! The junior sister is in the army, and she can persuade the senior brother to return to the court within half an hour! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjian couldn't cry or laugh, scratched Zhang Chuchen's nose, and said, "Okay, senior brother, I'll open the door and dedicate the city, and I will never let you, a heroine, break your word!" ”

As the east gate of Pengcheng slowly opened again, Zhang Zhongjian and Zhang Chuchen, brothers and sisters, rode side by side and came to the front of the Sui army commander. The difference is that the east gate that was opened this time was never closed again.

Zhang Zhongjian came to Pei Yun, dismounted and bowed with his fists and said: "The grass man Zhang Zhongjian is late to return, and I hope that Ambassador Pei will atone for his sins!" ”

Seeing this, Pei Yun saw that he was done, laughed and personally dismounted to help Zhang Zhongjian, and said: "Haha, I heard that Zhang Shaoxia was noble, and when I saw it today, it was as I heard it!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly and said, "Ambassador, I have ordered all the city gates to be opened, and the ambassador can lead the army into the city!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Pei Yun laughed, and was about to agree, when the Chinese army joined the army and whispered: "Ambassador, be careful of deception!" ”

Hearing this, Pei Yun still replied with a smile on his face: "It is not easy for Zhang Shaoxia to protect the township and protect the people in the troubled times!" Our army will not enter the city on a large scale to harass the people! ”

After that, Pei Yun said to the herald: "Order, order General Qian and General Meng to lead their troops to assemble at the east gate, and General Mai to lead the headquarters into the city to station, and tell Mai Mengcai to let him restrain military discipline and not harass the people." Violators, behead! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Chuchen immediately understood Pei Yun's careful thoughts, and said sarcastically: "Ambassador Pei is cautious, I admire him!" ”

Hearing this, Pei Yun's old face turned red, and he coughed dryly: "This envoy has a holy order, so naturally he has to be careful!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian understood Pei Yun's difficulties, and took the initiative to relieve the siege: "Ambassador, when the grass people learned that the army was coming to the city, they had no choice but to ask Li Gongyi, the leader of the Yongqiu thieves, for help. According to what the grass people saw, simply postpone the army's entry into the city and change it to lure Li Gongyi's department, and the ambassador can also add new merits to the saint! ”
