As soon as the dragon army relented and gave them the slightest chance to attack, these people would pounce on them like hungry wolves, tearing them to pieces.

On the top of the city tower of Linhuang Mansion, Xiao Xiaoyou's actions were seen clearly. The corners of Su Shi's mouth raised slightly, and with a hint of a smile, he said to Lou Yang on the side, "Go, call Zhang Jian over."

Soon, Zhang Jian, who had just finished collecting Yelu Hongji's corpse, was taken to the city tower.

Su Shi didn't talk nonsense, pointed to Xiao Xiaoyou's army who was walking towards the next step of the city and said, "If you don't want your Liao people to die too much, find a way to persuade them to surrender. You see, we have a lot of shells, if they really dare to rush, then we will not be polite in the future, but it is you Liao people who die, but it is other people who make a profit, you can do it yourself."

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at the second-generation dragon bullets piled up in the distance, and he knew that Su Shi was not scaring him.

With such a powerful dragon bullet in hand, even if more than 300,000 Liao soldiers rushed forward, there would not be the slightest good fruit to eat.

The important thing is that in the face of such powerful shells, no army can still protect the strong morale of the army, and once they are defeated, the lively coalition army will not feel the slightest distress, and in the end it is indeed only them who are Liao.

"Okay, please let me go, Your Majesty, and I'll talk to them." Zhang Jian said as if he had made some kind of determination.

To be precise, Zhang Jian was indeed a loyal minister, loyal to not only the monarch, but also more loyal to the Liao State.

Even if he is still there, he will naturally not watch them Liao people make fearless sacrifices and die in front of him.

Yelu Hongji had an accident before, and it was because he couldn't catch up. Now that he has the opportunity to save more than 300,000 Liao comrades, he should be duty-bound.

As for whether he will be in danger if he does this, where does Zhang Jian have time to think about so many things now.

"Yes." Su Shi nodded in agreement.

Su Shi also wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at Zhang Jian's ability.

Of course, there is a certain danger in doing so, but isn't this exactly where the value of Zhang Jian's ability lies?

If a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, such a person doesn't need Su Shi to bother to reuse him.

Since you are invited to come, it is for you to do things.

Su Shi agreed, and immediately a soldier prepared a hanging basket, and Zhang Jian sat alone in it, which was slowly put down.

Xiao Xiaoyou and the army were slowly advancing, and they had reached the area covered by the previous artillery fire, but they didn't find a single big firecracker falling, which made him start to think more, is it really as Yelu Chongyuan said, the current dragon army doesn't have many such powerful weapons?

While he was still thinking about these things, one of his own soldiers had already spoken, "General, look, people have been released from the castle tower."

"Oh, go find out now, who's coming down?" Xiao Xiaoyou asked with curiosity.

It didn't take long for the news to come back, and there was only one person downstairs, Zhang Jian.

"It's Lord Zhang, hurry up, welcome him over." As soon as he heard that it was Zhang Jian, Xiao Xiaoyou became excited and excited.

Xiao Xiaoyou knows very well that he has the ability to lead troops to fight, and he is not a person who is afraid of death, and he is not bad for the soldiers, he can lead an army well. But other than that, his ability is mediocre.

Especially things like giving advice, which are not what he is good at.

Zhang Jian is different, if he can become a third envoy, he is undoubtedly a delicate person, if there is such a strategist by his side, what should he do next, what should he do, he can rest assured.

and have known Zhang Jian for many years, and know that this person is loyal to the Liao State, and Xiao Xiaoyou naturally will not have any precautions against such a person.

After getting the order, the soldiers went out and soon brought Zhang Jian to the front.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jian, Xiao Xiaoyou said with some excitement and excitement, "Lord Zhang, it's great that you can appear here, how is it, how is the situation in the city now?"

As soon as it comes to it

When the situation in the city was in the city, Zhang Jian thought of the fact that Liao Daozong was dead, and his face was naturally a little ugly. But he also knew that he couldn't tell the news yet, otherwise it would deal too much damage to the morale of the military, and some people would inevitably take advantage of this incident to make a fuss.

"General Xiao, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhang Jian opened his mouth, and Xiao Xiaoyou said that it was not good, but considering that the matter was serious, he still agreed, "Okay, Lord Zhang, please come with General Ben."

In the general's tent, after retiring everyone, Xiao Xiaoyou looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Say, there are no outsiders here."

"Alas, General, the situation in the city is terrible." With a sigh, Zhang Jian opened his mouth and told everything he had learned.

When Xiao Xiaoyou saw Zhang Jian's face just now, he knew that the situation in the city would not be too good, but he never thought that it would be so bad.

Liao Daozong actually killed himself, and this alone made him lose his composure, and he had a feeling that the sky was falling, and he didn't know what to do next.

He was also loyal to the emperor, but now that the person he was loyal to had died, what was he going to do next? To whom will you be allegiated?

Even if it is a war and a victory, then for whom?

In fact, not only Xiao Xiaoyou, but also Zhang Jian had this feeling before. It's just that after such a long time, he has somewhat adapted to it, and has begun to think about the future of Liao.

"General Xiao, Your Majesty has killed himself to thank the world, this is an unchangeable fact. It is said that if we are courtiers, we should go with Your Majesty. But we can't do this now, Your Majesty is gone, but the people of Liao are still there, and they are still waiting for us to save them. What are they going to do if we're dead now? Do you allow others to bully and humiliate?"

"Presumably, at this point, Your Majesty doesn't want to see any spirits underground."

Zhang Jian knew very well that he was coming with a mission, and even if this was the case, he had to convince Xiao Xiaoyou first.

"Huh? What do you mean?" At this moment, Xiao Xiaoyou slowly recovered from his sadness, looked at Zhang Jian, and asked tentatively.

"The meaning of a certain is very simple, in order for the Liao Kingdom to preserve more fire, we can't fight this battle, because we have already lost, and we are fighting, no matter what the result is, there is no benefit to us."

"General, your family and the families of the soldiers are all in the Linhuang Mansion now, and they are all looking forward to your safe return."

"What, are they all right?" When it came to his family, Xiao Xiaoyou also became excited.

Of course they will be fine, after the dragon army entered Linhuang City, they only punished those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, as for the other magnates and people, they did not move. Of course, with the style of doing things of the Dragon First Emperor Su Shi, it must be difficult for most of the powerful and gentry to have a good end, but as long as they admit their mistakes and have a positive attitude and are willing to take out money and food, it is likely that their lives will still be left. And as long as people live, there will be hope for everything, right?"

Zhang Jian knows Su Shi's character very well, especially what his attitude is towards those powerful and wealthy gentry who make a living by stealing and plundering, and he is even more clear.

In such a matter, he didn't want to lie to Xiao Xiaoyou, but said it with a realistic attitude. But as he said, there is hope in life, and this is the most important point.

Xiao Xiaoyou did not make a decision immediately, but became silent.

As a courtier, he should naturally be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.

The king died in the war, and those of them who were courtiers should die together.

But will death really solve the problem?

What happens to their families when they die? Do you have to die with them to be loyal?

How innocent are they? Some are even just swaddling babies, so what do they know?

Seeing that Xiao Xiaoyou was still hesitating, Zhang Jian spoke again: "General, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it. Now it is clear that some people are taking us as victims, and now the more we charge, the more casualties will become, but we have to

But it is not us who benefit, so what is the point of such a death?"

"Su Shi, this person, is a great disaster for my Liao country, and now the facts have been confirmed, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, his strength."

"Whether it is economic or military, this man is not as powerful as everyone else."

"Now that I think about it, this man is terrible. Have you returned to Linhuang Mansion to take a look, the streets there are full of all kinds of food, and as soon as this thing came out, the hearts of the originally restless people were instantly suppressed. He knows how to grasp people's hearts too well, and with such an enemy, we can't see the slightest hope of victory."

"Even if it is invincible, it is better to give in. We are not even a person of Your Majesty, so who surrenders is not surrender, why not choose a stronger person and a monarch who is good to the people? In this way, even when we go underground to see His Majesty one day, we will have an explanation."

"When the time comes, you can tell Your Majesty that his subjects did not die too many people in this war, which is also a blessing in misfortune."

"That's the only thing we courtiers can do."

Zhang Jian said word by word, like thunder exploding in Xiao Xiaoyou's heart.

Yes, the kings are dead, and for whom are they sacrificing now?

For whom is the war fought at this time?

No one will reward them for their meritorious service, on the contrary, if they lose the battle, they will be laughed at, and they will not even give themselves a sympathetic look.

Thinking that the relatives of their soldiers are in the city and are all under Su Shi's control, it means that all of them are being grabbed by their pigtails, at this time, will there be the slightest benefit in resisting?
