Chapter 29: Submission (3)

"Zhongwu's argument is not hindered, and he will be taught by a famous teacher!" Zhong Yue added.

The envoy's face was slightly red, and he muttered: "Some small sects, how can they be taught, but they have only learned one or two in the market." ”

"Zhongwu humbled himself. It is unusual for an envoy to ask questions in the army, and if he disagrees, his life may be lost. Zhong Yue said as he quietly raised his vigilance and observed his face.

The messenger's face seemed to change, and he said, "Every man is his master, and where he is offended, he looks to Haihan." ”

"The envoys sent by the Imperial Mansion before are very ineffective, no wonder Mr. Labor."

"What, messenger of the advance? The lord has sent someone here? ”

"Exactly, Nakago doesn't know?"

"No, no, the open man is the first time that the city lord has sent an envoy, what Mr. Zhongyue said, I'm afraid it's fake. Sir may wish to come and ask. ”

"It's not necessary, the messenger can't understand the language, and he has lost his life!"

The envoy's face changed drastically, and Zhong Yue could observe it without paying too much attention.

"This ...... What is this ......? ”

"Because he dared to be a lobbyist for the lord of the city, and to prevent the army from attacking the city."

"This ......, this ......, this sin does not deserve death."

"Damn it, he dared to threaten the general with jade and stones, and the general was angry and killed him."

"But I don't know where I offended the general, I will definitely ask you for the crime!"

"The Qin army is coming, do you know? Your government intends to pay the Qin people, how can the general not be angry! After Zhongwu returned to the city, Haosheng persuaded your mansion that it was necessary to disobey Qin Xiangliang, after all, Daliang is the ......"

Before Zhong Yue could finish speaking, the envoy said loudly: "Sir, it's bad! Yiyi broke the backless beam and passed the Qin affair. I am willing to borrow the mouth of the gentleman to say to the general, and we will borrow a corner of Dayi, prolong my life, and never dare to disobey the country. If the general is driven, we are willing to be the forerunner! ”

"Is that true?"

"Don't dare to deceive Mr.!"

"Then I can rest easy! We'll be satisfied, and then we'll see the general. ”

So several men beckoned, and each of them put a dagger on the meat and roasted it on the fire; And they opened the wine seals and gave each other a drink. A few companions and samurai also came over, drinking and barbecuing together, and they were very happy! When the wine is exhausted, the food is cooked, and when it is served, everyone grabs it and eats it until it is exhausted.

During the meal, the envoy asked, "Yan Yiyi has a back to Qin, but I don't know where to start." ”

Zhong Yue said: "There is a woman in the grass hut outside the city, and she speaks in the army. ”

"Sir, mean little slave? This woman is an abandoned woman outside the city, everyone can be a husband, how can she believe what she says! ”

"But it was the gentleman of your mansion who said with his own mouth, how not to believe it!"

"Gentleman? Is it Ji Jun? This son is against his father, and he can't listen to it! ”

"Not really. The gentleman was ordered by his father to go out of the city and pay Qin, but after the matter was completed, because it was late, he stayed outside the city, and told the little slave in person that there could be no fraud! ”

"Sir! Ji Jun is open-mouthed, unabashed, and knows everything in the city. He was young and greedy, and often stayed outside the city at night. Ordinary errands can't be done, let alone such big things. It must be Ji Jun's nonsense, and it must not be credible. ”

"It's not Ji Jun, could it be Uncle Bo Zhong? Zhongwu is not strange, the war is imminent, and it is not trivial to secretly communicate with the enemy. The general will not let it go easily! ”

"Mr. Jinkou Yuyan said, save the lives of the old and young in the city!"

Zhong Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how to reassure the general. However, if your house is sincere, it is not difficult to find a way. I'll be as full as I am, as much as I can. ”

After a while, Zhong Yue asked again, "Why did the little slave abandon him?" Seeing that he is favored by a gentleman, is he still stingy in the city? ”

"I don't know much about this woman's situation, but I don't dare to provoke it."

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "This woman is so fierce that she can't see it!" ”

"Exactly. This woman frequently exchanged spears, halberds, and even crossbows and swords with the main family for various items. How can ordinary people find such sharp weapons, a woman finds them all the time, and the master's family does not think it is strange, isn't it strange! ”

"Can Zhongwu associate with this woman?"

“……? We are rude, but we can't associate with such people! ……”

Seeing that the envoy was in a hurry, Zhong Yue hurriedly stopped the conversation: "Zhong Wu naturally disdains, but who has the most contact with her?" ”

"Chengjun Jizi naturally has the most, and the others, who are duty-bound, will not go, and the reckless gentlemen will not go much, and the ...... who go a lot are some merchant pawns."

"That's it...... Eat, drink, eat! ”

He was rewarded with three or five rounds of wine, and the food in the basket was empty, and the syrup was exhausted. Someone came to report that the general returned to the camp.

Zhang Yu and Zhong Yue then said to the envoy: "Let me wait for the general to learn about it, and then lead the gentleman in." ”

The messenger replied, "Please ask the gentleman to persuade me kindly." ”

Zhong Yue said: "It's all up to the city lord and Mr. Cheng. ”

The two returned to the camp together with the captain, leaving only one soldier to accompany the envoy. When the two of them entered the big tent, Xin Lingjun and his party were already sitting and waiting in the tent.

The two entered the tent, greeted everyone, and sat down in front under the guidance of Xinling Jun. Zhang Yu reported: "The envoy is an outsider, who has been in the city for less than a year, has no money, and is weak and weak, not like an assassin. He said that there was no such thing as Qin in the city, and he was willing to lead the army. ”

"What do you think, sir?" Shinling-kun turned to Zhongyue.

Zhong Yue said: "The general trend is as Mr. Zhang said. It is also common for the city to be small and weak, and it is common for it to have no intention of fighting against the army. Only the messenger did not seem to know that there were assassins out of the city, and I tried with light words, but there was no flaw. Whether the assassin was sent by the city lord, or did he have another origin, he didn't find out! ”

Jin said disdainfully: "The assassin is from the city, and there is no doubt about it. The messenger did not know, or there was deceit. ”

Zhong Yue said: "The situation should be true, not fake. or the lord of the city kept it secret, and the messenger was also concealed. ”

Mang Mao said: "When the city is broken, just ask the city lord directly." ”

Xin Lingjun asked suspiciously, "Is the general saying that the city is not allowed to surrender?" ”

Mang Mao said: "The minister is reckless and absurd, the son forgives me." Broken or falling, the city lord appeared from time to time. Just ask. ”

Xinling Jun said: "What the general said is very true. But whether to allow the city to surrender, please teach me the general! ”

Mang Mao said: "Childe Mingjian." For example, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers outside the city, and they are allowed to surrender in the city, and they are the ones who surrender to the enemy without a fight. Only at present, the people's army is gathered, and these people are all foolish people, summoned by the order of the son, and the city has been laid down without a fight, and they are all in vain, and I am afraid that the morale of the army is not good. According to the minister's opinion, at this time, only to break through the city in one fell swoop, the morale of the people is inspired, and everyone is united, which is convenient for the subsequent battle. ”

Xin Lingjun said: "The general's words are very much in line with my wishes. Do you have any advice from the doctors and gentlemen? ”

Zhang Yu said: "If you decide to attack the city, I ask you to bring a messenger to see the corpses of the three murderers, one can be impressive, the second can be frustrated, and the third can block their mouths to show that I will not surrender." ”

Xinlingjun said: "Mr. kills three birds with one stone, which is admirable. This can be properly discussed with Mr. Zhong Yue, and Dr. Jin can preside. General Mang can help me reorganize my troops and horses and attack the city at dawn. ”
