Chapter 137: The Highest Realm of War

"This ......"

A few people present were all dumbfounded, these said, Yuxian quickly transferred the troops from all over the country back to Taiyuan, so that Taiyuan gathered a full army of more than 100,000 troops, they thought that a big war was inevitable, but now Yuxian is going to surrender, how is this possible?

Everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, even Li Tingxiao was no exception, so everyone gathered their eyes on Yu Xian's face to confirm whether they had heard it wrong, and in the end they all confirmed that they had not heard it wrong, and Yu Xian did say that he was going to surrender to the Dragon and Tiger Army.

This time, Li Tingxiao, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "The reason why the Lord transferred troops from all over the country to Taiyuan is to increase the bargaining chips for surrender?" ”

Yuxian looked at Li Tingxiao, nodded and said: "That's right, just to increase the bargaining chips for surrender, think about it, Taiyuan has 50,000 troops to surrender to Wang Jundao, or has 100,000 troops to surrender to Wang Jundao?" ”

Li Tingxiao said: "Naturally, it's the latter. ”

Yuxian looked at the rest of the general soldiers again, and said: "Several of you are talented people, even if you can't become a general and take charge alone, but as long as you study hard, it is not a problem to bring an army of 350,000 people, if you follow me to die with the Dragon and Tiger Army in the end, the result will only be extinct, and it will also affect your family, you have been with me for many years, I don't want to see such a result, so don't blame me for not telling you the situation in advance." ”

Lu Changyi was moved in his heart and said, "Where is this, my lord?" You are doing this for our own good, so why should we blame it? ”

Chen Chunhua and Zhang Zhongxia both nodded, and said with great emotion: "Yes, my lord, we all remember your kindness to us, and we will never blame it at all." ”

Yuxian nodded, sighed, and said, "I actually do this for myself, although I am nearly sixty years old, I still want to live a few more years and enjoy a few more years of happiness." ”

Lu Sen said with some concern: "I'm afraid that Wang Jundao won't accept us." ”

Yuxian didn't speak, but Li Tingxiao shook his head and said: "This is definitely not, Taiyuan has an army of 100,000, although it is not as strong as the Dragon and Tiger Army, but it is also a force to be reckoned with, he Wang Jundao wants to occupy Shanxi, and he definitely doesn't want Taiyuan to be ruined and affected by the war, let alone his own soldiers have huge casualties, so as long as we show sincerity, no matter what aspect it is, he has no reason to refuse us." ”

Yuxian nodded and said, "Tingxiao is right, I think so too. ”

When Lu Sen heard this, he no longer had any doubts, but nodded and said, "That being the case, I support your lordship." ”

Lu Changyi, Chen Chunhua, and Zhang Zhongxia also said in unison: "We support adults. ”

Yu Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Okay, it's decided that we will surrender to Wang Jundao, and Ting Xiao will go to discuss the surrender." ”

Li Tingxiao naturally will not postpone: "I will do my best to fight for the interests of everyone as much as possible." ”

After the secret meeting, Yuxian left Li Tingxiao alone and explained to him that he wanted to marry Wang Jundao, with this condition, Li Tingxiao shouted in his heart that things were much easier.

In the afternoon of the same day, after dinner, Yuxian summoned all the high-level civil and military officials in Shanxi, and directly announced the decision to surrender to Wang Jundao, because of the absolute support of Lu Changyi, Lu Sen, Chen Chunhua, and Zhang Zhongxia, even if some of the rest of the people were unwilling to surrender, they did not dare to object, after all, these four people could control the entire army of more than 80,000, and they could not oppose it.

In fact, most of them are still happy, after all, no one wants to die under the guns of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

After announcing the decision and getting everyone's support, Yuxian no longer had any scruples, and the second day he sent Li Tingxiao as a negotiating envoy to Yangqu County, north of Taiyuan.

After receiving the news that the Jin army was about to surrender, Xu Jian immediately sent the news by telegram to Wang Jundao in Xinzhou.

After receiving the telegram, Wang Jundao immediately replied that he accepted the surrender of the Jin army, but he needed to let Li Tingxiao come to Xinzhou in person, and he would send someone to negotiate with him about accepting the surrender.

Of course, this kind of thing does not need Wang Jundao to come forward in person, because the identity is wrong, unless Yuxian comes in person, he will personally negotiate with him, but it is also to let Yuxian come to Xinzhou, not him rushes over, this is the simplest negotiation etiquette.

After all, he came to beg, not to ask for guilt, and he had to show the most sincerity, and while he set off to Xinzhou, he also sent the news of Wang Jundao's acceptance of the surrender of the Jin army back to Taiyuan.

In Xinzhou, the temporary headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Wang Jundao summoned Lin Zhengnan, chief of the general staff, and Wu Wenruo, the chief of military and political logistics who was personally appointed by the logistics director of the military hall staff headquarters before the war, to discuss the conditions and precautions for accepting surrender.

In the end, Wang Jundao directly appointed Wu Wenruo to be fully responsible for the negotiation of accepting the surrender, and Wu Wenruo gladly accepted the order.

After Wu Wenruo went down to prepare, Lin Zhengnan said to Wang Jundao: "I didn't expect the Battle of Shanxi to end with such a result, it really gives people a feeling of being a bit anticlimactic." ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "You are wrong, this is the most perfect ending, do you want to see Taiyuan blown into ruins by artillery fire and riddled with bullets?" Are you willing to lay in wait for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of corpses inside and outside Taiyuan City? Would you like to see a Shanxi province completely destroyed by the war? ”

Forehead......

Lin Zhengnan was stunned for a while, and only then did he say: "Naturally I don't want to, after all, this Shanxi has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, and every grass and tree in Shanxi, one person and one ding, every house and one house in Shanxi are also part of China, and it is best not to be destroyed." ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "That's right, this is called beating to promote surrender." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhengnan nodded and said: "It is true that it is to fight to promote surrender, if the war to unify China is like this in the future, it will be the best." ”

Wang Jundao shook his head and smiled: "This is not the best, it is best to surrender without a fight." ”

Lin Zhengnan nodded and said, "It's not easy to be able to fight and promote the surrender. ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, from ancient times to the present, wars are basically divided into three situations, one is to promote peace, one is to promote surrender, and the other is to fight to promote war. ”

Lin Zhengnan groaned slightly, and said: "I know with the fight, and I know with the fight, and I know that I can fight and fight, I really don't think about it." ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "The so-called fighting to promote fighting, that is, to fight and fight, whether it is won or defeated, as long as the other party does not surrender and does not negotiate peace, the result will only increase the contradictions and hatred between the two sides, and will eventually lead to the next war between the two sides, which is the so-called fighting to promote fighting." ”

Lin Zhengnan said suddenly: "In this way, the final result of fighting to promote peace or fighting to promote surrender is actually to promote peace or to promote surrender by fighting." ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said: "That's right, in fact, to fight to promote surrender, the final result is also to sue for peace, just like the Jin army surrendered to us now, in fact, in other words, it is to seek peace, so the highest state of war is peace!" ”

When Lin Zhengnan heard this, he only felt that his heart was clear for a while, and he had a feeling of seeing the clouds, and couldn't help but say: "Listening to the commander's words is better than reading a book for ten years." ”

Wang Jundao laughed and said: "No wonder people who are sycophants can rise step by step, but most of those who are really talented people don't meet talents, and everyone likes to listen to them, if all talented people can talk like you, then there will be fewer people in this world who have never met talents." ”

Lin Zhengnan said with a smile: "The commander once said that there has never been a shortage of talents in this world, but there is a lack of people who find talents and apply talents. ”

Wang Jundao couldn't help laughing and teased: "Why didn't you find out that you were so good at talking before?" I think I should have asked you to negotiate with Wen Qiao just now. ”
