Chapter Thirty-Six: The Surrender of Manchuria
Seeing that Xiao Zhennan was honest, Xu Hanqi disappeared a little, shook his hand and turned back to his seat.
Sitting with his sleeves brushed up, Xu Han waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see him again, take him down, and then invite Man Yi in." “
Hearing the name of Man Li, Xiao Zhennan's expression was shocked.
The soldiers on the right and left paid no attention to him, but dragged him out.
Xiao Zhennan was dragged out of the lobby, and when he turned the corner, he happened to meet Man Li.
At this time, Man Li was wearing clean clothes, his face was a little red, it seemed that the food had been very good these days, and the soldiers next to him were very polite, and he was like a guest on the seat.
The treatment of the two is very different.
Xiao Zhennan was angry when he saw Manli, and scolded angrily: "Manchu dog thief, ungrateful, you can't ...... well."
Before he could scold again, the left and right soldiers had already blocked his mouth and quickly walked away.
Man Yi could only watch Xiao Zhennan being dragged away, and his face couldn't help but show suspicion, and he wondered in his heart, even if his strategy failed, causing Xiao Zhennan to be defeated and captured, Xiao Zhennan had a grudge in his heart, but why did he scold himself for being ungrateful?
Xu Han in the lobby listened to Xiao Zhennan's scolding, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Xiao Zhennan was captured before, Xu Han claimed that Xiao Zhennan had fallen for Manchu's strategy, and his purpose was nothing more than to cut off Manchu's way to return to Xuan.
The current one is also deliberately arranged by him.
Xu Han believed that at this time, there were already rumors everywhere in the Xuan camp that Manchu had betrayed Emperor Deng and helped Xu Han design and capture Xiao Zhennan.
Manchu, who is still in the dark, can't wash it this time even after jumping over the Wei River, and there is no way out except to return to Xu Han.
Suddenly, full of restraints.
"Man is here, hurry up and take a seat." Xu Han's expression was much more polite at this time.
Man Qi sat down on his knees sullenly, and just sat there, without saying a word.
Xu Han smiled and said: "Manyi, it seems that you and I are really fate, tossing such a big circle, I see that you are also annoyed, so just submit to me." ”
Man Yi kept silent, neither refusing nor nodding.
"Now the whole Xuan camp thinks that Manchu betrayed the Xuan Kingdom and designed to harm Xiao Zhennan, to this point, I think Manchu will give you the heart to return to Xuan." Xu Han smiled faintly and broke through Man's situation.
Man's expression was shocked, and he glanced up at Xu Han, and suddenly understood why Fang Cai Xiao Zhennan scolded himself like that.
Man Li, who suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help frowning and said: "Man Yi has a clear conscience, and he was framed by General Xu's calculations." “
"What Man Zhen said is not right, just imagine, if Man Zhen sincerely went to make peace with Xiao Zhennan for me, instead of breaking his promise to me, and in turn persuaded Xiao Zhennan to attack my camp, why would he fall for my suspicious plan?"
Xu Han asked a rhetorical question, which shocked Man's body and was speechless.
With a sneer, Xu Han said lightly: "In the final analysis, it is actually Manchu that you have broken your trust first, how can you still claim to have a clear conscience." ”
Man Yi was speechless, and his pale face couldn't help but reveal a little shame.
As Xu Han said, he promised the other party at the beginning to convey Xu Han's reconciliation to Xiao Zhennan.
As a result, at that time, I was bent on getting out of trouble, and I agreed very happily.
If he hadn't broken his promise, and self-righteously mistakenly thought that Xu Han was in a predicament and didn't have a plan to rob the camp from Xiaozhen Nanli, how could he end up today.
Although Xu Han's words are suspected of being strong, but in his heart, the current situation is indeed caused by his self-inflicted self-inflicted actions.
"Man Mou lost his trust in the general, and the fatal defeat today is indeed to blame, and the general wants to deal with Man, listen to it."
Man Yi sighed and said silently.
Xu Han heard a bit of surrender from that sigh, and said: "This is what you said, let me deal with it, then I'm not welcome." ”
When Man Yi heard this, he thought that Xu Han had changed his mind and did not plan to surrender to him, but to punish him, and his heart suddenly sank.
After pondering for a while, Xu Han said unhurriedly: "This general has to get the seven counties of Qianyang, the people's hearts are not attached, and I need a virtuous person who is proficient in governance to take care of it for me, and I will punish you to do this drudgery." ”
Man Yi suddenly realized, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, knowing that Xu Han was going to make him obedient no matter what.
Twice defeated, twice persuaded to surrender, Xu Han's sincerity has come to this point, and he is full of joy without a trace of emotion.
After weighing it again and again, Man Li slowly got up and arched his hand: "Man Mou thank the general for his appreciation, and I am willing to serve the general!" ”
Seeing that Man Yi was finally willing to submit, Xu Han laughed, and even ordered a banquet to welcome Man Yi to join his command.
At this moment, Man Yi said again: "Man Yi surrendered to the general, and it is okay to govern for the general, but please also ask the general to agree to the two conditions, otherwise, it will be difficult for Man to obey." ”
Xu Han's relieved expression quickly calmed down a little.
He doesn't like people to negotiate terms with him, and that feeling is very similar to being threatened.
"I'll listen to what the conditions are."
Xu Han's tone was calm, and he didn't agree happily without thinking about it, showing that as long as you can descend to me, I will promise you anything.
Man Yi arched his hand and said: "Man Mou's first condition is to ask the general's subordinates to show mercy and spare Naxiao Zhennan's life." ”
Sure enough, this is the condition.
Man's momentary mistake caused Xiao Zhennan to become a prisoner, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he wanted to intercede for Xiao Zhennan, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation.
As for Xiao Zhennan, although Xu Han was angry and slapped him twice, he didn't think about killing him.
After all, it is the best policy to avoid another conflict with the Xuan State at the moment, and to preserve the strength and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Leaving Xiao Zhennan's life can not only be used as a hostage, so that Emperor Deng has some concerns, but also can sell a favor, why not.
After rolling his eyes a few times, Xu Han waved his hand and said, "For the sake of Man Yan's face, I will spare Xiao Zhennan's life!" ”
"Thank you, General!" Man Li showed a hint of joy on his face, paused, and said: "This second thing, Man Mou has always had his own set of rules, and I hope that the general will not interfere." ”
"I don't know what the rules are?" Xu Han said curiously.
"Be strict with the law, and do not be martyred." Man Yi replied very dryly.
Xu Han smiled, the eight words mentioned by Man Yi were exactly what he wanted, "In troubled times, how can Xu not know this truth, Man Yi rest assured, as long as you do things according to the law, there will be no interference." ”
Man Li's expression was shocked, and he was a little dumbfounded.
In fact, the second request put forward by Man Li was to hold on to the last hope, trying to "embarras" Xu Han, so that he had to give up and surrender himself.
Man Li knew that Emperor Li governed the country and was extremely strict with the people, but he was very lenient with civil and military officials like Xu Han and the powerful family.
With the connivance of Emperor Li, the powerful people of the world ran rampant and arbitrarily annexed, but the people were poor and weak, and they were miserable.
Man Yi thought that Xu Han was born in the country of Yi, and his body was also contaminated with the habit of Emperor Li governing the country, and he intended to follow Emperor Li to govern the seven counties of Qianyang.
But to Man's surprise, Xu Han agreed so happily, as if his request was exactly what he wanted, how could Manmi's heart not be shocked.
"I didn't expect this Xu Han to be a martial artist, and it was in line with Tang Taizong's excellent concept of governing the country, could it be that this Xu Han is really a dormant Ming Jun?"
The surprise in Man's eyes gradually increased a little respect.
"I have agreed to the two requests made by Man Li, I don't know what excuse Man Yi has, I can put it forward together."
Xu Han smiled, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words, showing that he had already seen that he was deliberately making trouble.
At this point, what else did Man Yi say, and immediately said angrily: "Since the general has promised these two things, then from now on, Man Yi must do his best to share the general's worries." ”
This statement is equivalent to officially announcing that he has joined Xu Han's camp.
