Chapter 834: The Selfishness of Human Nature
Ji Zhu was not a person who could call the shots, and this time he saw each other, just to see what they meant. Now that I have figured it out, I asked the other party to go back first on the grounds that I need to ask for instructions, and I will notify you separately when there is a decision.
The representative left in a hurry, in this environment where there were dragon troops everywhere and murderous eyes, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
Ji Zhu met with Su Shi again and proposed the detailed process of negotiations. Su Shi, who was writing in front of a bookcase, kept his right hand, and when he spoke, Su Shi stopped writing. Then he slowly picked up what he had written and read it again and again, before he smiled with satisfaction and said, "General Jida, how about coming and seeing my handwriting?"
With a hint of doubt, Ji Zhu stepped forward, he didn't understand why Su Shi asked him to taste words at this time. Although he said that he had recently entered a cram school and read more books, he was a complete layman when it came to his understanding of calligraphy.
Ji Zhu, who stepped forward, when his eyes fell on the font, he knew that Su Shi asked him to taste the characters, and it was clearly for him to read the content written on the paper. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but suddenly stroke his palm and said, "Your Majesty, high, this method is really good, it's really high."
"Haha, even General Ji agrees, Lou Yang, immediately find some people with good calligraphy to come over and copy this text." Su Shi's laughter sounded immediately.
Half an hour later.
In the urn city, Yelu Zhiwei and the powerful people in the city were discussing whether Su Shi would agree to their request, and there was a buzzing sound above their heads.
They were no strangers to this thing, and they knew that it was a very advanced weapon in the dragon army, which could fly in the air.
In this regard, Yelu Zhiwei and the others sighed in their hearts, this Su Shi can always make something they can't think of, and they don't know where that mysterious trade route comes from.
Buzzing sounded, Yelu Zhiwei and the others sighed, and their faces changed greatly, but they had heard that this thing could sprinkle black oil from the sky, and it would be difficult to extinguish it if there was a little spark, could it be that this time Su Shi was going to burn the urn city?
With a frightened heart and even a little scared, Yelu Zhiwei and the others walked out of the hall one after another and came to the courtyard. And it was at this time that they saw that there seemed to be a light snow in the sky, and something was constantly falling from above, as if it could cover the sky and the sun.
But one thing is for sure, it's definitely not a liquid.
"What's that?" What's going on?" Yelu Zhiwei and the others were all confused. But soon, there was an answer, when things fell from the sky to the ground, they knew that this was a piece of paper, and on this paper, it was full of Liao characters.
This is a letter of persuasion, which can also be said to be a letter of proposal.
The reason why I say this is because what is written on this makes people shudder after reading it.
It was written on the paper that Yelu Zhiwei sent a representative to beg for surrender to the dragon army. The condition is that they are willing to give up the urn city and the 40,000 troops guarding the urn city, and only ask the first emperor of the dragon to give them a way out, and they can let them leave the urn city with their finances and return to Liao in the north.
It was also written in the paper that 40,000 Liao soldiers were about to become outcasts, and when Long Shi Di learned about it, he was very angry. He believed that even if a soldier died, he should die on the battlefield, not in the calculations of the villain, so he rejected the proposal.
Not only that, Su Shi also wrote in the name of the First Emperor of the Dragon, the scholar dies for his confidant, and the good minister chooses the wood to live in. Yelu Zhiwei, these powerful people, are not famous masters at all, and it is really the most stupid thing to work hard for such people.
Su Shi has led soldiers to fight many battles, and in a sense, he is also a soldier. He didn't want to see 40,000 Liao soldiers abandoned and become outcasts, so he was willing to give the Liao soldiers a chance, that is, to take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.
As long as they do so, they will not only be without fault, but will also have merit. For meritorious people, Su Shi will never be stingy with rewards, and when the time comes, he will ask for money for money, and things for things.
After writing down the affairs of the army on paper, he launched a warning to the magnates in the city.
Su Shi said that he did not believe that all the powerful and rich people in the city were bad people, and there must be good people, smart people, and people who knew the times. For this reason, he is also willing to give these people a chance.
As long as these magnates are willing to surrender in Kaicheng, the first one to surrender will not only have sufficient personal safety, but also belong to his finances, and the Dragon Army will not move a point. Not only that, once the dragon army takes the urn city, it will also take out one percent of the financial proceeds of the war to reward this powerful person who sacrificed the city.
If there is only one magnate, that person is rewarded. If there were three magnates in Kaesong, they would share up to 2 percent of the finances.
At the end of the paper, Su Shi promised again in the name of the First Emperor that he would do what he said and would definitely do what he said.
In the name of the First Emperor of the Dragon, if he still said these words on such a public occasion, no one would doubt his sincerity. After all, if he deceived someone this time, then no one would believe him in the future.
Everyone has also seen the content on the paper, and the magnates are wary of looking at others at the moment.
Yelu Zhiwei also carefully read the content on it, his face was bitter, and he was furious on the spot. "Come on, put away all the papers, put them away, and if anyone dares to keep them privately, kill, kill!" ap.
This is the act of punishing the heart, and this is the righteous and bright separation between them.
Once someone is moved, the urn city is likely to be self-defeating, so how can you defend the city?
Even Yelu Zhiwei can say with certainty that there will be people who will be tempted. He knew what the virtues of these powerful people were, after all, he was one of them.
If you have benefits, you can go on it, and you don't blink your eyes for the sake of financial killing.
According to what Su Shi said, if he becomes a person who sacrifices the city, not only can his life be saved, but his property will increase, then there must be many people who will have such an idea.
Yelu Zhiwei was furious and asked to send someone to put away all the so-called leaflets immediately, but the dragon army dispatched fifty drones this time, and the paper was scattered all over the city.
Besides, I don't know how many people have seen the content on it, and it has been remembered in their hearts, and it has no meaning in taking it back.
But Yelu Zhiwei did it anyway, because there was no better way for him to do it.
The order was given, and there were soldiers to do it immediately, and then Yelu Zhiwei's eyes looked at the other dignitaries in front of him, and said with a fierce light in his eyes, "Everyone, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really a big matter, for everyone's safety, now please hand over all the private soldiers in our respective hands and let them be managed by a certain one."
"No, you can't. Now the people in the city are panicking, who knows if there are any people who are young, and some people will be left in the house to take care of the family, and this request cannot be agreed."
"I can't agree, in troubled times, I need to have a certain amount of self-preservation."
"I didn't agree..."
The magnates who had always obeyed Yelu Zhiwei's words refuted it immediately.
What are you kidding, in such a chaotic situation, without their own private soldiers, wouldn't they have to be slaughtered by others, so they wouldn't be so stupid.
Not to mention, some of them have already made up the idea of dedicating the city, that is, they can save themselves and gain wealth, and they cannot be unmoved.
These people actually opposed their proposal, or everyone was the same opinion, and at this moment, Yelu Zhiwei's head was also a little confused.
For a long time, he has been in Liaoyang City, Tokyo, and he is used to being a big brother.
But any of his proposals, even if these magnates are unconvinced, will never openly oppose them as they do now. At most, it is just a violation of yang and yin.
But now, they are openly opposed, and it is still everyone.
At this moment, Yelu Zhiwei also sensed the danger, and his anger rose in his heart, at this moment he wanted to order the soldiers to tie up these people, but he knew that he could not do this.
With his strength, it is possible to deal with several powerful people at the same time, but it is necessary
Speaking of which, he does not have such ability. If you really want to do this, you are looking for death.
Knowing that the era of one-man speech had passed, Yelu Zhiwei suddenly felt powerless in his heart, and finally just looked at everyone with resentful eyes, and finally waved his hand and said, "That's it, you go back and think about it first."
Yelu Zhiwei, who had no idea in his heart, disbanded everyone. Then he sat back in his chair with a dejected look, his eyes blank.
This sat for more than half an hour, until the sound of footsteps came from outside again, causing Yelu Zhiwei to look up, and then he saw his master Qi Ziyang walking in.
Qi Ziyang is a very capable person, and he has a very good way to do things, because he has helped him do a lot of things and helped him collect a lot of money, and he has always been very useful.
Seeing Qi Ziyang appear, Yelu Zhiwei seemed to see a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qi, what should I do now? There's a good idea."
"Hey, at this point, a catastrophe is going to happen at any time, so it's better for adults to make a decision early." Qi Ziyang spoke, this time he came over, originally to give Yelu Zhiwei an idea, speaking of which, he also came by order.
Just three days ago, Long Yin's Chen Jiu secretly entered the urn city, and secretly found him, telling him about your impending catastrophe.
Regarding Chen Jiu's words, Qi Ziyang didn't believe much at first. After all, at that time, the Dragon Army was still attacking the watchtowers on the periphery, and there were no troops under the outer gate of Liaoyang.
