Chapter 840, persuade the king to surrender!

The Mansion of the City Lord of Middle-earth. Splash ink courtyard.

The cold wind is sluggish, and the black clouds are rolling. There is no moon, not even a glimmer of starlight. The entire courtyard was shrouded in darkness.

Yan Xiangma stood at the gate of the small courtyard, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

I don't know when the legendary old man was always hidden in the dark, just like he did.

No one could guess his state of mind, what he was thinking. He was like a ghost, nowhere to be found, yet everywhere.

Yan Xiangma knew that he was in Zhongzhou at this time, such an important city, such an important battle, it was impossible for him not to come to the battle in person.

Moreover, the clues can be seen from the recent change in Marshal Xu Da's attitude. Xu Da, known as the "Iron Arm General" of the Empire, has always been a very strong person, but in recent days he has been much softer in his treatment of people and things.

Yan Xiangma knew that there was a person who was even stronger than Xu Da secretly manipulating the situation.

Looking at the entire Zephyr Empire, who else can make these high-ranking generals respectfully obey everything?

Land and air!

"What a miracle it is." Yan Xiangma thought in his heart. Although the Yan clan took a different route from him, there were many disputes between the two sides over the court situation. However, in his own heart, when it comes to scheming and forbearance, no one in the entire Zephyr Empire is his opponent.

In the past, everyone called the old immortal Song Lonely of the Song family the "Eye of the Starry Sky", that is to say, the general trend of the world is difficult to escape his sharp and wise eyes.

Now that I think about it, such a title should be placed on Lu Xingkong's head, right?

It's a pity that he was given a very indecent and even strongly derogatory "sand fox".

Come to think of it, he was extremely dissatisfied with this title.

After Yan Xiangma came back, his first thought was to talk to Lu Xingkong. Then he put forward his own request to Xu Da in public, Xu Da obviously didn't want people to know about Lu Xingkong's existence, so although he scolded himself openly, he had already made arrangements secretly.

It's funny to say that when Lu Xingkong was still "alive" in the past, they hardly had any chance to meet.

Since he "died", he has had several opportunities to be alone.

Xu Da knocked lightly on the door panel, glanced at Yan Xiangma, and then turned around and left.

Yan Xiangma gritted his teeth and pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

The gate was open, and there was a heavy crashing sound from his exertion.

Then, a pair of vulture-like eyes swept over the eaves.

Pick someone and eat it!

Yan Xiangma's mind had such words, his body was tense, as if he would be torn into powder by that person if he was not careful, and then eat it one by one.

"I've seen the Captain!" Yan Xiangma adjusted his mood and took the initiative to bow to the landing line.

"General Yan------" Lu Xingkong looked at his face with sharp eyes, a smile appeared in the corner of his eye, and said: "General Yan escaped death, congratulations." ”

"Thanks to Lord Guowei, I was lucky to save this little life." Yan Soma's attitude was more respectful.

"The first time I tried the field, I made many achievements." Yan Xiangma laughed and said, "No matter what, you have to personally ask Your Majesty for your credit." ”

"Lord Xie Guowei."

"Well, that's all the kind words. It's time to get down to business----- you want to see me?" ”

"Yes."

"Something?"

"Something."

"What?"

"A matter of peace." Yan Xiangma swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice. It seemed to add some weight to what he said.

"Peace?" Lu Xingkong's eyes became cold again, and the killing machine was complete. "You mean ----- peace?"

"Yes, peace."

"With whom?"

"Mauryan."

Lu Xingkong was silent, and his eyes swept over Yan Xiangma's face again, as if he wanted to see through his flesh and skin and into his heart.

"Do you know that this time the Peacock King Ying Boyan sent troops to conquer the Seven Kingdoms in order to dominate Shenzhou?"

"I know."

"So----- your so-called peace ----- actually let my west wind rain peacocks?"

"Exactly."

“--------”

Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

After Lu Xingkong finished asking this question, he stopped talking, and Yan Xiangma didn't know what to say anymore.

The atmosphere was so cold that it was about to freeze, but Yan Xiangma didn't feel cold at this time, and fine beads of sweat came out of his back.

He knew very well what he had just said, and if these words got out, it would be treason. Lu Xingkong is willing to slap himself to death.

Let the Zephyr Empire surrender to the Mauryan Empire and speed up the pace of the Mauryan Empire's unification of the Nine Kingdoms------

This should not be much damage to the people of the west wind, and the Peacock King Ying Boyan has always been kind to the people, which is also the reason why he is popular in the Peacock Dynasty.

But what about those high-ranking figures in the Zephyr Empire?

At that time, there can only be one emperor in the entire Shenzhou, so what about the other emperors?

Can the Duke of the West Wind still be the Duke of the entire Shenzhou? Is the general of Zephyr still the general after the unification of the entire Nine Kingdoms?

Lu Xingkong had just taken the authority of the Zephyr Empire by earth-shattering means, but at this time, he told him that he should negotiate peace with the Peacock Dynasty and vote for the Peacock------ what would he think in his heart?

"You were bought by the Peacock Army?" Lu Xingkong looked at Yan Xiangma and asked out loud.

"Nope." Yan Soma said. He knew there would be such a play.

"I believe in you." Lu Xingkong said.

“--------”

"Shepherds' friends know that even if their heads are not very bright, at least their character is still trustworthy."

“---------”

"Reason." Lu Xingkong said in a deep voice. "State your reasons. Why should I make peace with the Mauryan Empire? Why did my dignified West Wind Empire vote for the Peacock King to win Boyan? If you can convince me, it's a great achievement. If you can't convince me, I'll end your life with one palm. I don't need a rebellious guy in my Favonius army. ”

"Do you think ----- Zhongzhou can be defended?"

"Zhongzhou is the city of the world, and it is also the town of the west wind. There are 300,000 garrisons in the city, and there are millions of people------ just with the Peacock King, these people can break my Zhongzhou City? ”

"Does Lord Guowei think that Zhongzhou City can be defended?"

"------ can't hold it." Lu Xingkong pondered for a moment, but still had to face the facts helplessly and said. "The momentum of the Peacock Army is like a rainbow, and the Peacock King's command is all strong men, and when it comes to combat ability, my West Wind Army is far from being their opponent. Moreover, they have an invincible Peacock Legion------ they are harassing at high altitudes, causing great damage to Middle-earth City, at least we have not yet found a way to defeat the enemy. ”

"If Zhongzhou is lost, Tiandu can be saved?"

"If Zhongzhou is lost, the gate of the heavenly capital will be open, and the Peacock Army will fight the horses."

"If the capital is lost, where is the capital moved?"

"There is no way out." Lu Xingkong said. "The Peacock Army has swept through the Nine Kingdoms from three directions, conquering all of them, invincible------ and there is no opponent until now. With the help of the Black Flame Empire, where can it be a stable place? Where can it be a place of tranquility? ”

"In that case, why don't we take the initiative to negotiate peace?" Yan Xiangma asked rhetorically. "I was captured by the Peacocks, and I secretly observed their military appearance and military discipline, the Peacock Army is known as the strongest army in the world, it is really worthy of its reputation----- their drills are harsh, and their morale is at the peak, it is not at all that my West Wind Army can compete with."

"Knowing that this is a war that cannot be won, why do we have to struggle to support it? What is the purpose of throwing the heads and blood of thousands of soldiers on ------ walls every day? They also have families and children, and they are also flesh and blood. The military department of the national lieutenant Jiuzhen should give them greater sympathy and pity. ”

"Why sacrifice the lives of so many loyal soldiers in vain? Wouldn't it be good to give them a chance to live? ”

"That's what you used to convince me?" Lu Xingkong's voice was cold, and he asked out loud.

"Benefits!" Yan Xiangma forcibly supported it, although Lu Xingkong had not used any means against him, but that invisible coercion still made people fearful, and his entire body was shrouded in a powerful aura, as if he would be crushed to pieces if he was not careful. "Do you think my Zephyr can resist the peacock army?"

"It's extremely difficult to resist." Lu Xingkong is an extremely good commander, knows military affairs, and has a lot of research on marching and fighting. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his command to gather so many proud soldiers. "However, if the Mauryan Dynasty wants to completely eliminate the resistance forces, it will be impossible for a while------ as long as there is a slight opportunity, it can ignite the prairie fire."

"Even if they can't conquer the Zephyr Empire, what about the other countries?"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is gone, and the situation in other empires is not good------ the Peacock Army does have its advantages, maybe Ying Boyan will become the first emperor to unify Shenzhou."

"Lord Lieutenant can see it thoroughly, but what about the others? The superiors of the other countries can't see the situation clearly? ”

"Do you mean to say that ----- others may be willing to join them, but we should get ahead of them and gain greater benefits?"

"Exactly." Yan Xiangma said out loud. "Knowing that we are invincible, holding on will only cost our troops and destroy our people----- if we are ahead of other nations, we will be able to gain greater benefits." Even if the Peacock King really unified Shenzhou, maybe His Majesty's situation is worrying, but the Lord Guowei will have the status and authority above ten thousand people under one person-----"

Lu Xingkong looked at Yan Xiangma thoughtfully and said, "I'm starting to doubt my judgment. It seems that you have indeed been bought by the Peacock King. ”

"Lord Guowei-----" Yan Xiangma stiffened his neck and said in a stiff voice: "If Soma was really bought by the Peacock King, would he run to Lord Guowei so frankly and say these words that are rebellious and punish the Nine Clans?" ”

"Since there isn't, how do you explain ----- such behavior?" Lu Xingkong's voice was already murderous. "Looks like you can't convince me."

Lu Xingkong stood still, no, one Lu Xingkong stood still, and the other Lu Xingkong had already teleported to Yan Xiangma's back, reached out and pinched his neck, lifting his entire body from the ground.
