Regarding Zhang Jiuling's official position as Shangshu Zuo's prime minister, Zhou Ziliang was still a little dissatisfied.

But the emperor has already humbly accepted advice, and he also understands the principle of moderation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Ziliang bowed and stepped back.

The expressions on the faces of Li Linfu and Xiao Song were extremely embarrassed.

The emperor did not refute Zhou Ziliang's words, which means that he also thinks that they are treacherous villains and corpses.

Fortunately, both of them are extremely thick-skinned, so they did not resign on the spot.

"Your Majesty, the traitor Pei Kuan is still leading the remnants of the army to entrench in Anhuamen, Mingdemen, and Qixiamen."

"The minister thinks that the traitors can't be allowed to gather all their forces to fight back, and they should quickly send troops to exterminate them."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Li Linfu could only talk about the remnants of the 16th guard of the Southern Ya entrenched in the three city gates in the south.

Xiao Song also followed closely and said: "The minister also thinks that the traitor can't be allowed to sit big!" ”

Li Mao nodded.

"It's going to take care of this!"

The remaining remnants of the army are indeed a nuisance.

The Chang'an city wall is about two zhang high, and it is very simple to defend.

But now Pei Kuan occupies three city gates, causing Chang'an City to seem to have torn a hole.

Li Mao turned his head to Lu Bu and asked, "Did you count the results of last night's battle?" How many people are still in Pei Kuan's hands? ”

Lu Bu walked out of the queue.

He had already changed into court clothes, and after saluting Li Mao first, he said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the results of the battle have been counted in the morning." ”

"Last night, the last general led 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry, killing more than 17,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 38,000 people."

"There are about 40,000 people left in the hands of the enemy general Pei Kuan."

When all the officials in the hall heard the results of last night's battle, they were all shocked.

If it weren't for the endless corpses and black-brown floor tiles on Suzaku Street in the morning.

They didn't believe anything, only 3,000 people could defeat 100,000 well-equipped 160,000 forbidden troops in Nanya.

After a long time, all the ministers reacted and congratulated Li Mao one after another.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

"This battle is 3,000 victories and 100,000 wins, which is enough to be compared with the Kunyang Battle of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass of Emperor Taizong."

"Your Majesty is the son of destiny, and he has the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven, and it is really ridiculous that little Pei Kuan dares to rebel!"

"Pei Kuan's wolf ambition deserves to be destroyed."

"There is also the forbidden army of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya, which is stubborn and still entrenched in the south of the city. Your Majesty should send ministers to declare the righteousness and persuade the enemy to surrender. ”

……

It took almost a quarter of an hour of discussion before the officials came to an agreement.

That is, to send someone to persuade him to surrender first.

If Pei Kuan is stubborn, he will send a large army to attack.

Li Mao nodded slightly, agreeing with the officials' thoughts.

Persuasion is indeed the best policy.

Last night's victory was due to surprise.

Gao Xianzhi never dreamed that Li Mao still had three thousand heavy armored cavalry in his hands.

So there was no defense.

But Van Gogh Xianzhi was on guard, used the tactic of adding oil, and sent troops to attack the city in turn.

It is impossible for three thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry to defeat 100,000 troops in Chang'an City, which is crisscrossing the streets.

Thinking of this, Li Mao couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Gao Xianzhi.

If he hadn't launched a mutiny, according to Pei Kuan's fighting style, maybe he would have hated Suzaku Gate today.

From this, it can also be seen why Gao Xianzhi later lost the Battle of Hengros.

This man is so arrogant.

There is no ancient name to anticipate the enemy's lenient character.

Now Pei Kuan, the chief general of the Sixteenth Guard of the Southern Ya, is much more stable.

If he had held the gates, it would have been difficult for him to defeat with cavalry alone.

Li Mao thought for a while, and tried to persuade him to surrender first.

"Is there any minister who would like to take the initiative to ask for help?"

There was an instant silence in the hall.

Six or seven hundred officials didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

I am afraid that I will be directly ordered by Li Mao.

Even Li Linfu and Xiao Song, who are prime ministers, are the same.

Li Mao frowned slightly, and focused his gaze on the two prime ministers.

"Li Xiang, Xiao Xiang, are you willing to share your worries for me?"

"The minister is very willing!"

Li Linfu was the first to answer.

Just when Li Mao thought that he had changed sex, he heard him continue.

"But Chen and Pei Kuan have a vendetta!"

"The minister was worried that after seeing Pei Kuan, he would directly cut off his head."

"It is no regret that a minister can die for the great cause of His Majesty. However, the minister was worried that after he went, not only would he not be able to persuade Pei Kuan, but he would be angered! ”

While Li Linfu said, he rolled up his sleeves and pretended to be willing to die.

Li Mao frowned slightly.

Since Li Linfu was unwilling to go up, he could only turn his attention to Xiao Song.

"Your Majesty, the minister and Li Xiang are also worried!"

"In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, the grandson of the minister broke Pei Kuan's son's legs."

"If Pei Kuan sees the minister, most of them will be killed."

Speaking of which, both of them are greedy for life and afraid of death.

This kind of life-threatening thing, Li Mao can't force it.

I had to turn my eyes to the officials in the temple, hoping that someone would stand up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

When Li Mao heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.

But after seeing that the person who spoke was Zhou Ziliang, his face darkened again.

The matter of persuasion cannot be undertaken by those who are not eloquent.

It's okay for Zhou Zi to forgive people, but if he asks him to persuade Pei Kuan, it is estimated that he will be beheaded directly.

Li Mao shook his head, "Yu Shi Zhongcheng, you still supervise the hundred officials for me." ”

"After Zhao Gao takes down the prisoner, he will be handed over to you for trial."

After Zhou Ziliang was persuaded to retire, none of the officials recommended themselves.

Seeing this, Li Mao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It seems that those backbone officials have not come to the court!

Most of the officials who came were mediocre people.

How can these people sweep away the troubled times?

How can the world be appeased?

How can I fight the four yi?

system, let's release some missions that can get loyal generals!

Li Mao shouted in her heart.

But there was no synthesized sound in my head.

This is the case.

Li Mao had no choice but to prepare.

"Fengxian, you immediately go and count how many of the captives last night were willing to serve me?"

"The last will obey!"

Lu Bu immediately took the order and came out.

Only then did the officials in the palace know that the fierce general who had been serving the emperor was actually called Fengxian.

Combined with the sky-high crown on the head of the fierce general, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.

Many people of insight are speculating that this fierce general is called Lu Bu?

It's Zhao Gao again, and it's Lu Bu again.

Could it be that the emperor wants to be a faint king?

Otherwise, how could he let his subordinates call such a name that has been stinking for thousands of years?

At this time.

Li Mao was already very disappointed in the officials in the palace.

It's annoying to look at them more.

"Everybody's going their own way!"

After speaking.

Li Mao's face was gloomy, and he walked towards the harem without looking back.

I was secretly thinking in my heart that after Chang'an City was pacified, there must be a big blood exchange in the court.

Arrange those famous people in history into the court.
