Chapter 529: Sending Envoys

"Surrender?"

Hearing this news, Zhuge Liang was very interested, and he smiled and said: "Isn't there still hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in your Song Kingdom?

Xue Ben pretended to be embarrassed, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Prime Minister, you are a rare wise man in the world, do you think that with the strength of our Song Kingdom, you can defeat your Wei State?

When you, the Wei State, have eased up this momentum, and once again led millions of people to attack our Song State? Is it different or will you bring about your own destruction? It's just a matter of time. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't move, stroked his beard and said, "Tell me what you Song Emperor means, how does he want to surrender?"

Since the Emperor of the Song State sent someone to secretly discuss the surrender, it shows that the Emperor of the Song State did not want to surrender so easily.

He may need some chips or benefits.

Of course, this is also human nature.

After all, from the emperor's throne to the prince, or even worse than the prince, the emperor of the Song State must want to seek some benefits for himself to live for the rest of his life.

Otherwise, it will be easy to surrender, and the result will be nothing, wouldn't it be a big loss?

When Xue Ben heard his words, he immediately smiled and said: "It's still Prime Minister, your eyes are like a torch, that's right, Your Majesty of my family said, give some silver taels, give a throne, give a fief, it is best to be able to hereditary replacement, Your Majesty, he will surrender when your troops are under the capital." ”

The first few things, there are no problems.

If the Emperor of the Song Kingdom really wanted to surrender, it would not be a problem to give him any benefits compared to the soldiers being saved from a sword disaster.

If he surrenders, His Majesty will also intend to crown him king.

Merely......

"Why did your emperor surrender when our army had attacked your capital?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Xue Ben said helplessly: "Prime Minister, in this case, Your Majesty of my family, he will not be scolded by the people poking his backbone, right? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I see, it's just that the matter is big, I still have to discuss it with Your Majesty, otherwise you are waiting here?"

Xue Ben hugged his fists and said: "It should be so, no matter how late it is, I will wait for the good news of the prime minister." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and got up to leave his residence.

At present, the vanguard army of 300,000 has already sent troops to attack the city.

The follow-up army will march gradually.

At this time, Zhao Changqing was living in the border city.

Zhuge Liang came here and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already met the Song envoy. ”

"How?"

Zhao Changqing was looking at a roll of bamboo slips, and after hearing Zhuge Liang's voice, he immediately became interested and put the bamboo slips aside.

Zhuge Liang conveyed Xue Ben's meaning to the emperor word for word.

Smell.

Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor of the Song State is still very faithful to his promise, since this is the case, then agree to the request of the Emperor of the Song State, but if you attack the capital all the way along the way, I am afraid that our army will cause a lot of casualties." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, according to the tone of the Song envoy, it seems to say that the cities and counties along the way will not really hinder our army's siege, but will open the door to our army." ”

"Didn't Bai Qi already lead an army of 300,000 to attack the city?"

After a pause, Zhao Changqing got up and said: "Then wait for the news from Bai Qi to see if what the Emperor of the Song Kingdom said is true or false, if it is false, there is no need for him to surrender, we will directly kill the capital of the Song Kingdom, and kill all the royal family of the Song Kingdom, so as to save some troubles in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "No!"

It's just a small Song Kingdom, so you don't have to treat it so sadly.

If they accept it, it's fine, if they don't, then simply beat them until they obey.

After Zhuge Liang went back to his residence, he also thought that Xue Ben conveyed the meaning of the Emperor of Wei.

Xue Ben was worried, and hurriedly resigned and returned to the capital of the Song Kingdom.

A few days later, news came from Bai Qi, saying that the Song army wanted to be frightened, and where they passed, they attacked the city and pulled out the village, as if they were walking on flat ground.

After Zhao Changqing learned the news, Long Yan was overjoyed and immediately rewarded the three armies.

Seemingly.

The Emperor of Song was right, he really gave orders to the soldiers.

But is this really the case?

Perhaps many generals received an imperial order not to resist.

However, there was still a large group of generals, who were really afraid of competing with the Wei army, and fled.

There are definitely not a few such people.

And many of these people are ministers who are in the court and propose to fight to the death, and then they are sent to the front line by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and they are called and entrusted with important tasks.

However, these have little to do with Zhao Changqing.

What he focuses on has always been the result.

The vanguard was invincible, and Zhao Changqing was unwilling to stay in the border city, so he immediately ordered all the troops to catch up with Bai Qi's troops.

The 300,000-strong army of Bai Qi almost crushed a country.

His exploits were greatly praised in later generations.

Of course, it's a pretty awesome thing in itself.

After two months, he finally came to the capital of the Song Kingdom.

Bai Qi and Zhao Changqing were at this time, just in one place.

Taking advantage of the fact that the army is now in full swing, Bai Qi asked the emperor for orders to attack the city.

At this moment, they were sitting in a tent.

Zhao Changqing smiled when he heard Bai Qi's voice, and looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully.

The latter naturally understood, waved his feather fan, and said: "General Bai Qi, I'm just afraid that this capital doesn't need us to attack." ”

"No need?"

The domineering Bai Qi said: "What does the prime minister mean is that the Song State intends to surrender?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "That's right, the emperor of the Song State intends to surrender, but the ministers of the Song State may be a little obstructive, but now that the soldiers are coming to the city, it is expected that those Song ministers will not dare to speak out." ”

Bai Qi said: "According to the prime minister's statement, we only need to send a tough envoy into the capital of the Song State to persuade them to surrender, and this Song State will surrender?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said: "What the general said is right, but who should be sent to be this envoy now is not yet an eyebrow." Does the general have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Bai Qi frowned and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

To be an envoy, the first thing is to be able to speak well, right?

These generals under their command are okay to fight, but let them be envoys?

That's what makes it hard to be a person!

Zhao Changqing inspected the soldiers in the account, and was also thinking about the candidates, and in the end, he set his eyes on Bai Qi, "Or you can go, run a trip to the capital of the Song Kingdom for me, and take the Song Kingdom in one fell swoop." ”

Bai Qi's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the task is too heavy, the last general is stupid, how can you go? Even if you let the prime minister go, you can't let the last general go!"

Zhuge Liang understood what the emperor meant in an instant, "General Bai Qi, don't be impatient, Your Majesty means that I, a weak and weak Wenchen, is naturally incomparable with you, a general full of might, and I don't need to bother much, I just need the general to stand in the middle of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, which will inevitably make them panic." ”
