Upon learning that Hou Qin intended to surrender, Wei Shuo was overjoyed.

If Yao Xing's father and son can be forced to surrender, it will also save the pain of siege.

Siege battles are too tragic, and a city like Chang'an is often a lose-loser.

"Lord, it would be great if I could force Yao Hong to surrender."

"After all, at present, Hebei is unstable and Jiangdong will be chaotic, and there will be fewer losses in Guanzhong, and it will be easy to use it in other places in the future."

"Yes, what Uncle Xuan said is exactly what I want."

Wei Shuo thought about it carefully and felt that Cui Hong's proposal was very reasonable.

You might as well try it first, it's better, it's not too late to fight if you don't succeed, and Qin can't escape from the palm of Hexi's hand.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Shuo decided to send someone to negotiate with Hou Qin about surrender.

With Weinan's great victory over Yu Wei, most of the guards took Jiang Ji as a special envoy and entered Chang'an to urge Hou Qin to surrender.

At the same time, 100,000 Hexi soldiers approached the city of Chang'an, causing a shock in Later Qin.

……

With the surrender of Di Bozhi, the death of Yin Wei, the self-immolation of Yao Min, and the death of Yao Shuode, Yao Huang was left only by Yao Huang of the five auxiliary ministers left by Yao Chang.

And since scolding Yao Xing, Prime Minister Yao Huang has never been to the court again.

Drunk and dreaming all day long, except for drinking and drinking.

The other courtiers were also apprehensive and began to plan for their future lives.

It was under these circumstances that Jiang Ji entered Chang'an City on behalf of Hexi and persuaded him to surrender.

Coming to the city, Jiang Ji cautiously climbed into the hanging basket and was dragged up by the Qin soldiers at the head of the city.

Coincidentally, as soon as he came out of the hanging basket, he saw Wei Daofu standing next to him.

"In Xia Jiang Ji, I don't know who the general is......" Jiang Ji pretended not to ask.

"In Xia Wei Daofu, Jiang is welcome to join the army and come to Chang'an." Wei Daofu pretended to arch his hand.

"It turned out to be General Wei, and I am fortunate to meet you."

"Please take the envoy away, Your Highness and Your Excellency have been waiting for a long time."

"In that case, please General Wei lead the way."

The city gate was several miles away from the palace, and Wei Daofu personally escorted Jiang Ji away.

On the way, Wei Daofu took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and whispered in Jiang Ji's ear: "This ...... This, Lord Jiang, why did Dadu Hu recruit the Qiang people? ”

"In this case, will our plans not be in vain?"

Jiang Ji turned his head to look at Wei Daofu and found that the other party looked cramped.

He couldn't help but chuckle a few times and said: "Dao Fu is worried, most of them have already been explained, no matter what the final result is, you are all meritorious heroes." ”

Although Jiang Ji has repeatedly said that it doesn't matter whether the family succeeds or not, it is a great achievement.

But Wei Daofu still can't let go of his heart, judging from his understanding of Dadu Hu, the results are different, and the treatment of the family must be different.

When the group came to the palace gate, someone had already come to meet them.

"Captain Wei has worked hard! Special envoy, please follow a certain person into the palace. ”

"Hehe, there is labor."

Jiang Ji arched his hand and followed the visitor into the palace.

And Wei Daofu stared at Jiang Ji's back, refusing to leave for a long time, if according to his original intention, he didn't want Hexi to surrender Hou Qin.

Originally, the Guanlong family had already planned, and when the war in Chang'an started, they would find an opportunity to open the city gate.

Even the Guan Long family plans to seek merit after the dedication of the city.

They were ready to persuade Dadu to protect the country on the day when they entered Chang'an.

This is a meeting gift that the Guan Long family has carefully planned for a long time, but now with the surrender of Hou Qin, it may come to naught.

"Daofu don't have to be discouraged, this peace talk is a matter of success or failure."

"Even if Hou Qin chooses to surrender to Cheng in the end, you and I can continue to plan and support the merits."

Wei Daofu turned around and followed the voice, only to see Du Tan standing behind him at some point.

"Wanchang? When did you come over? ”

"Just arrived! As soon as I received the news that the envoy from Hexi had entered the city, I immediately rushed over. ”

"Alas, Hou Qin is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!"

"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it."

"Next, we need to appease the families as soon as possible, and don't make a fuss."

"Yes, yes, yes! Or the virtuous brother is thoughtful. ”

Not to mention how the families went down to negotiate, just said that Jiang Ji followed the palace guards to the main hall.

In the main hall, the Hou Qin people stared at Jiang Ji with complicated eyes.

Right now, just outside Chang'an City, 100,000 Hexi troops have surrounded Chang'an.

Standing at the head of the city and looking at it from afar, there are all towering wells and trebuchets.

After seeing those powerful siege equipment, Hou Qin no longer had any confidence in defending the city.

At the same time, various detailed legends about the siege of Xinping began to spread widely among the defenders of Chang'an.

The most exaggerated thing is that the Hexi military bombarded the Xinping city wall with a single bombardment.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Jiang Ji calmly bowed to Yao Hong.

"In Xia Jiang Ji, meet Your Highness."

"The envoy is exempt."

Jiang Ji got up and said loudly: "I won't hide it from you, to be honest, I don't want to stand here today." ”

"Most of them protect and love the people like children, and they can't bear the people of Chang'an to be poisoned by the war."

"That's why I ordered to go into the city to meet with you, otherwise those who enter the main hall at this time will be tens of thousands of Hexi soldiers."

"So before the peace talks, Ji reminded you to wait."

"Don't live up to the good intentions of most of the people, what conditions should be mentioned and what conditions should not be mentioned, everyone had better be careful."

"Of course, it's best if you surrender directly."

As soon as Jiang Ji said this, everyone present was angry that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Some of the grumpy ones immediately sneered: "Surrender? ”

"Hmph, you Hexi are too underestimated, do you really think that Chang'an City Defense is paper-paste?"

"Isn't it?" After speaking, Jiang Ji spread his hands, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was full of disdain.

"It's not that you look down on you, although this Chang'an is known as a heroic city, but in fact, it is similar to the eldest son of Xiyan Wangcheng."

"For the Hexi Army, you can only hold on for three days at most."

"Arrogance! Since you are so confident, why did you take the initiative to enter the city to persuade you to surrender? It's not that I'm worried about huge siege losses. ”

"Don't think we don't know Hexi's calculations, you just don't want to continue to spend your troops in Guanzhong."

Jiang Ji's heart moved, and he said secretly: "There are still some talents in the Later Qin Dynasty, and they actually guessed one of Hexi's concerns. ”

"Why didn't the envoy speak? Could it be that he was said below? ”

"Humph! The ignorant are fearless. Jiang Ji pretended to be disdainful.

"There are hundreds of thousands of elites under my lord's command, what can I do if I lose 20,000 people?"

"In this way, you are not sincere in peace talks."

"In that case, then you and I don't need to waste our tongues."

"Please also ask Your Highness to send someone to send me out of the city, let's still speak with our fists."

"Please stay with the envoy!"

When Jiang Ji turned around and left, he was stopped by Yao Hong, who had been silent.

saw that Yao Hong scolded everyone loudly in order to apologize to Jiang Ji.

"What's the noise? What's the use of just knowing the benefits of your tongue and the country?! ”

And Jiang Ji was not really angry, so he naturally stopped down the slope.

He turned to look at Yao Hong and sighed, "Your Highness, let me tell you the truth." ”

"In fact, those who really want peace talks are only the ones who protect most of them, and the generals are not very willing."

"Why is that?" Yao Hong was puzzled.

"As the saying goes: if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle!"

"After all, people will die in war, why don't those generals want to negotiate peace?"

"How did Your Highness know that Hexi has the most important military merits, and the generals are bent on taking the heads of others to seek wealth and nobility."

"As for casualties...... Hehe, in the words of those generals, just a few shots with a giant trebuchet. ”

"I'm afraid that there will be a piece of rubble left in Chang'an City by then, and what casualties can there be?!"

Only then did Yao Hong remember that Hexi was famous for its sharp armor, and was rich in bed crossbows, ballistas and other ordnance.

He had also fought at the top of the city, and watched the giant trebuchets from afar.

Although I haven't seen its power in person, it is not much less powerful than a traditional catapult because it is a lap larger than a traditional catapult.

"Don't talk nonsense, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, Hexi can consider giving you a decent ending."

"I wonder what the so-called decent ending is?" Yao Hong asked with an embarrassed face.

"The guilty are condemned, and the innocent are measured."

"The Qiang tribes were all broken up and mixed and rejoined the Chinese family."

"As for the Heavenly King's family...... The Metropolitan Protector is also willing to guarantee the safety of His Highness. ”

When Yao Hong heard that his safety was guaranteed, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but he didn't pay attention to Hexi's safety at all.

Although the faces of the other Later Qin ministers were not very good-looking, they had no choice to this day.
