The former soldiers of the Han army arrived outside Taiyuan City first, and they had already set up camps.

Wu Nianluanyu, together with his entourage of close ministers and generals, entered the barracks. Wu Nian stepped on the small bench, got off Luanyu, glanced around at the ministers, and stopped at Cao Hua. Commanded: "Cao Qing." You go to the city again and tell Zhu Zhongguo. This is the last chance given by the widow. ”

"Yes."

Cao Hua has been back and forth to Taiyuan many times, and his body is already very tired. took two entourages and headed for Taiyuan.

"Prepare tea." Wu Nian ordered a large inner guard to lead the ministers into the big tent together.

Although Cao Duan did not have an official position, he also drove with him this time. After sitting down, he immediately bowed to Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty Tianwei, the heavenly soldier of the Han Army." Now Tianwei has arrived outside the city of Taiyuan. Then Zhu Zhongguo must have been frightened, and then surrendered the city. ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"I hope so." Wu Nian glanced at him with a smile and nodded.

.............

Cao Hua was ordered to send an envoy, and after galloping out of the camp, he came to the city of Taiyuan. Because he had been here many times, after communicating with the defenders, the defenders let him into the city and sent soldiers to escort him to the general's palace.

In front of the house.

The staff often wore black clothes from the wind and bowed their heads to greet them.

"Meet the angels." After seeing Cao Hua, he often saluted respectfully from the wind.

"Don't be polite. Where is General Zhu? I want to see him. Cao Hua's face was solemn, and he shook his head and turned over and dismounted.

"Please angel come with me." Chang Congfeng nodded, led Cao Hua into the General's Mansion, and arrived at the lobby.

Zhu Zhongguo was wearing a purple robe and sitting on the main seat, looking very calm and relaxed.

"General Zhu. The Son of Heaven is running out of patience. This is the last time. Is the general really willing to look at his soldiers and smear his liver and brains? ”

"Even if the general doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers, doesn't he care about his family?"

"Although Your Majesty did not kill Han people indiscriminately after entering Hebei, he just migrated to the frontier. But what if? ”

When Cao Hua saw Zhu Zhongguo like this, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and scolded him.

What is this puppet thinking?

Zhu Zhongguo's expression was as usual, and he patiently listened to Cao Hua's scolding. Only then did he speak: "Lord Cao." I want to meet the Son of Heaven alone. ”

Cao Hua was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Zhongguo with a vigilant expression. "What do you mean, General?"

Zhu Zhongguo smiled and said, "Lord Cao doesn't have to show this expression. The emperor has 10,000 enemies and is rampant in the world. I don't have the ability to do what the emperor does when I meet alone. On the contrary, I have to worry about what the emperor will do to me. ”

"I just have some things that need to be said to the emperor alone."

"And. Master Cao only needs to deliver the words. Whether or not to agree to meet me is the emperor's business. ”

Cao Hua's brows were tightly knit, and he was very irritable. What the hell is going on in this guy's heart? But he was right on second thought.

The Son of Heaven is rampant in the world, are you still afraid that this Zhu Zhongguo will not succeed?

"Good. I'm going to report to the Son of Heaven. Cao Hua arched his hand, turned around and left. But when he came to the door, he turned back to Zhu Zhongguo and said, "General." This is really the last chance. ”

His sudden stop made Chang Congfeng, who was following the send-off, almost hit him in his arms.

"I understand." Zhu Zhongguo nodded slightly.

Cao Hua was relieved, turned his head and left the general's mansion, rode on a horse, and took his entourage out of Taiyuan City and returned to the Han army camp.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Wu Nian and the civil and military forces listened to Cao Hua's words, they all showed different colors.

"Your Majesty. This Zhu Zhongguo is known as a Confucian general. Wu Yong is nothing, but he is full of tricks. Your Majesty is still careful. The grass people thought that they should not agree to him. ”

Cao Duan's performance was very active, and he bowed with a solemn face.

Wu Nian raised his right hand and waved it at him, and then said to the guards in the tent: "Wear armor for the widow." ”

"Yes." Ouchi's guard answered, turned around and went down.

Seeing this, the civil and military forces present retreated one after another. Cao Duan saw that his advice was not adopted by Wu Nian, and he was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to say it again.

A moment later. Wu Nian was neatly clothed, drove his horse, and led many internal guards to the camp gate. Then, he left the Ouchi guards and rode out of the camp alone to the camp gate to watch Taiyuan City.

On the castle.

It's all over the place.

The word has spread. Zhu Zhongguo wanted to meet with the emperor of the Han Dynasty alone. Although the Han army is currently approaching the city, the hearts of the defenders are bottomless.

But when they heard this, they were still in good spirits. Many soldiers squeezed forward, probed forward, and watched the appearance of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that it's far away and can't see clearly.

The people in front couldn't see clearly, and the people behind were desperately pushing forward.

"Let's let, let's let. I'm going to see what the emperor looks like. Is it rumored to be three feet tall and three feet in waist circumference. Like a hill, his strength is outstanding. ”

"Let me see, let me see. I want to see what the emperor looks like. ”

"Don't squeeze. Don't squeeze. I'm going to fall if I squeeze it any more. ”

"Don't squeeze. I'm about to be crushed to death by you. ”

The soldiers in front of them were squeezed against the women's wall and couldn't move, they were very uncomfortable, and they shouted one after another.

After Wu Nian heard the movement, he was noncommittal. continued to look at Taiyuan City, with praise in his eyes, "What a heroic city." ”

Then, he sighed and said, "If Zhu Zhongguo doesn't surrender, it will be troublesome." ”

"If you want to capture the city, you will have at least 10,000 dead and wounded on both sides."

"Crunch." There was a movement at the city gate, and Wu Nian retracted his thoughts and looked up ahead. Soon after, the gates opened.

A general wearing iron armor and wrapped in a scarlet cloak rode out of his horse, and after coming to Wu Nian, Le Ma stopped.

Wu Nian looked at Zhu Zhongguo while calculating the distance, if he rode alone, he could capture Zhu Zhongguo alive.

Although it is not very decent, it is not tired of deceit.

Zhu Zhongguo was very vigilant, far away from Wu Nian, and looked like "I will slip away at any time".

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was invincible in the world and his reputation was too loud.

"General Zhu. If you have anything to say, please tell me. Wu Nian put away his thoughts about the raid, smiled slightly, and asked.

"Dare to ask the emperor. The sins of the previous dynasty. Can it be pursued today? Zhu Zhongguo bowed and asked his own question.

Wu Nian was puzzled by his question. After frowning and thinking for a while, he said, "Then it depends on what kind of crime." ”

"Murder, theft, adultery and plunder. That, of course, is to be pursued. ”

"What to do, do it."

"If it's a rebellion. For example, Chu will betray the state of Chu. Of course, it will not be pursued. ”

Governor Zhu Zhong exhaled, a smile appeared on his face, and then the essence in his eyes flashed, and the sharp color replaced the smile.

"Good. Before the emperor drove, I sued Cao Duan. ”

"As long as the emperor disposes of Cao Duan. I am willing to sacrifice Taiyuan City to surrender to the emperor. ”
