Overnight, documents drafted by Mr. Shen to persuade him to surrender began to fly in the city of Kaifeng.
In the afternoon of the next day, this document was known to at least thousands of people in the city.
The most direct impact of this situation was that some smart Zhuli people immediately began to close their doors and no longer go out.
Those with some connections in their families have begun to seek shelter from the government.
They were afraid that the Han people in the city would capture them and send them to the Han army outside the city for reward.
The main reason for this kind of fear is that these so-called superior tribesmen have bullied the Han people in recent years.
At this time, the people in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion were not the Kaifeng magistrate, but Heting, the governor of Henan from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Na Xi, the general sent by the imperial court to temporarily take charge of the military in Henan.
Both of them are Zhu Li.
That night, the two met in the governor's Yamen.
He Futai held a document in his hand and looked at the general. The general also held the same document in his hand. The two looked at each other with complicated expressions.
After a while, Na Xi, who was still strong, looked at He Ting and sighed slightly: "Futai, is there still no movement from the imperial court? If there are no reinforcements, Kaifeng Mansion will not be able to sustain it for long."
The fat He Futai opened his eyes wide and looked at Na Xi: "General, you are the imperial envoy from the imperial court. I should ask you about this matter. If the imperial court does not come with reinforcements, the situation in Kaifeng city will be
, you and I may not be able to control it."
The general was silent for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor favors the Han ministers, and now Yandu has banned the army. Many of them are in the hands of the Zhou family and his son. The Zhou family and his son are only defending but not attacking in Hejian Mansion, and are just watching from the sidelines."
"Where are the reinforcements coming to Kaifeng?"
He Ting put the documents in his hand aside, his eyes full of worry: "Originally, we have nearly 20,000 defenders, and it is not a problem to defend for a few months or even half a year, but Shen Qi is really vicious.
"
"This document has now spread on a small scale in the city. Although I sent people to search the document to prevent further spread, it will probably not help."
"Even if it works, there's no guarantee that Shen won't do it again."
"At this time, people's hearts are no longer floating."
He Futai looked at Na Xi and shook his head slightly: "If I don't do it right, I will be tied up by the people below and sent to Shen Qi."
Naxi looked at Heting.
"Futai just come up with an idea."
He Ting hesitated for a moment and looked at Na Xi.
"General, please agree in advance that you and I are just discussing. If I don't take what I say into your heart, don't take it seriously."
He was very afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would be stabbed to death by the soldier in front of him.
After all, the court rules are no longer very easy to use.
Naxi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and said, "Don't worry Futai, we are just discussing today."
He Ting hesitated for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, it is unrealistic to continue to hold on. Now there are two ways to go."
"The first way is to lead the main force to break out and give up Kaifeng City to Shen Qi. We will leave tonight, and we will leave as many people as we can."
"After returning to Yandu, read a copy of the Zhou family and his son!"
Naxi looked at Heting and said silently: "Futai will tell you the second way."
It is not that he has never done this before, but the Chen Army of today is no longer the same as the Chen Army of the past.
It is extremely difficult to break out.
And even if the battle is fought, I'm afraid there won't be many troops left in hand.
"The second way..."
He Ting first looked at Na Xi's expression, then hesitated and said, "Send someone out to talk to Shen Qi."
Naxi raised his head, looked at Hefutai, and asked, "What are we talking about? About the glory and wealth we will have after we dedicate the city?"
"What glory and wealth!"
He Ting stood up directly, filled with indignation.
"Who do you think I am!"
He loudly said: "Since Shen Qi went north, he has treated our Master Zhu Li harshly at every turn. I sent people out to talk to him for the sake of our family, Master Zhu Li, not for the sake of my own family!"
"Then the general misses me so much, then let this matter drop and I will never mention it again."
"Then general, go now and prepare to defend the city in two days!"
Na Xi lowered her head and thought seriously for a while, then suddenly a smile appeared on her face.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I misunderstood Futai."
"Don't be angry at Futai."
He asked softly: "Who does Futai think is more appropriate to send out for talks?"
He Ting thought for a while and asked, "How about the young general?"
Na Xi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's good."
"I asked Quanzi to come see Futai, and Futai told him to do it."
Not long after, Naduo, Naxi's son, came to visit Heting.
He Futai interviewed him for about half an hour before letting him leave.
In the evening of that day, Naduo left Kaifeng City alone. He had just run three or four miles when he was caught by the vanguard army.
Because he kept shouting that he wanted to see Shen Yi, he was quickly escorted to Shen Yi.
At night, Naduo, who was tightly tied up, was led to kneel in front of Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen was reading documents with the light on. He glanced at the thirty-year-old man lightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
Several guards immediately let go.
Shen Yi looked at Na Duo and asked with a smile: "You said you wanted to see me to discuss something important. Who are you? What do you want to discuss?"
Naduo looked up at Shen Yi in shock, stared at Shen Yi for a long time, and then asked in confusion: "Are you Shen Qi?"
Master Shen frowned slightly.
It is somewhat impolite to address someone you don't know very well, or an elder.
However, he didn't pay much attention and just said lightly: "You haven't heard of me?"
"I've heard of it."
Naduo nodded.
"I knew you were very young, but I didn't know you looked like this. You don't look like a commander leading an army at all. Instead, you look like a teacher."
Mr. Shen did not comment, but said lightly: "What's your name?"
"My name is Naduo."
Naduo said: "The son of Naxi, the guard of Kaifeng."
Mr. Shen then became interested and said with a smile: "Did your father ask you to come to see me?"
Naduo nodded silently, then looked at the people next to him.
Mr. Shen waved his hand lightly.
"You all stand down."
"I'll talk to him."
Soon, everyone retreated. Shen Yi sat in his seat, looked up at the rude man, and asked: "Speaking of which, your father is going to..."
A smile appeared on his lips: "How to surrender?"
Naduo was stunned.
During the negotiation process with He Tingjiao, there was no such question.
He was stunned for a long time and then said: "Shen... Master Shen, we have no intention of surrendering."
Shen Yi's smile faded: "Why do you come to my place if you don't surrender?"
"wasting my time."
"Just waiting to fight."
Mr. Shen waved his hand.
"I'll have someone take you back."
Naduo's face turned red and he was stammering and speechless. After a while, he finally managed to choke out a sentence.
"My dad, I also want to talk to the adults... about..."
"When the time comes, they must be Han people and escort them out of the city..."
He looked at Shen Yi, he was exhausted, and said honestly: "Also, the contribution to the dedication of the city... the contribution..."
Shen Yi smiled and answered: "We can't leave them out, right?"
Naduo nodded.
Shen Yi curled his lips, feeling a little disdainful in his heart.
She became a bitch and still wanted to erect a memorial arch.
"anything else?"
Naduo lowered his head.
"Master Shen, you must treat the Lord in the city...Zhenren Zhu Li in the city."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes.
These words sounded somewhat conscientious, but to a large extent it was the two people in the city who were looking for a comforting excuse for their surrender.
Because of this kind of thing, even if Shen Yi agreed, he could still do whatever he wanted after the city gate opened.
Mr. Shen nodded happily.
"Can."
Naduo lowered his head and stated the last condition.
"Shangbang, we must protect the safety of our two families from now on..."
The word "Shangbang" made Shen Yi feel comfortable.
For a long time, Northern Qi was the "superior state".
And this condition is just because the people in the city are worried that they will be hunted down by the Purity Department of Northern Qi in the future.
Mr. Shen smiled and nodded.
"I agreed."
Naduo knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said.
"Tomorrow, Kaifeng will open its city gates to welcome Mr. Shen..."
