Ziqi really wanted to say that it would be better to surrender and lose half the money, but he couldn't find a suitable entry point, so he could only hold it in his heart.
"Go and see Yuan Hou again?" Bai Gongsheng said.
Ziqi asked: "If you see Yuan Hou, what are you talking about?"
Bai Gongsheng said: "My king is seriously injured and cannot return. His life will be in danger."
Ziqi said: "This time is not that time. Just saying this, there is no reason for the original prince to be released."
If it were in the past, that is, before the collapse of etiquette and the collapse of music, no king of the Central Plains would really stop the king of another country after he was seriously injured. On the contrary, he would suggest that he return to his country for treatment as soon as possible.
Of course, that is the treatment given to the monarch surnamed Ji. No matter how hard they fight to the death or fight among relatives, there must be no room left.
The Central Plains countries competed with the Chu State? In fact, they maintained the most basic rules of war. They did not aim to kill the king of a certain country. They fought a war of conquest.
Times have changed, and it is useless to say anything now. I believe Bai Gongsheng is not so naive, right?
"Victory will be used as pledge, and twenty thousand soldiers will be taken as prisoners in exchange for my king's return," Bai Gongsheng said.
Ziqi was speechless for a while.
The situation in the world has developed to this point, and people with a discerning eye have already seen that Bai Gongsheng is not suitable to serve as the Ling Yin of Chu State.
It’s not that Bai Gongsheng lacked ability, it was simply that Bai Gongsheng’s hatred against Zheng was too deep, which affected the diplomatic relations between Chu and Zheng, and further prevented the princes from uniting against the original country.
Without the participation of Zheng in the alliance, the alliance against Yuan was incomplete.
Once Zheng Guo sided with Yuan Guo, the Song Dynasty would be greatly affected, and the situation Chu would face would definitely be more difficult than after the "Battle of Yanling".
Bai Gongsheng could not just sit back and watch the situation continue to deteriorate, so he obviously had some kind of consciousness.
"After the victory, Zi Gao will be your commander." After Bai Gongsheng finished speaking, he didn't stop and walked away.
Who is Zigao? Shen's name is Zhuliang, and his nickname is Ye Gong.
Ziqi didn't react. He wanted to say something and called out to Bai Gongsheng to stop him, but the latter didn't even stop.
"Zi Gao is really too old, how can he be appointed as the commander-in-chief?" Zi Qi felt a little too big.
Ziqi looked around and found that there was no one else except himself, so he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "No matter what, it is impossible for Zigao to be your commander!"
The situation in Chu State is unstable and what is needed is a Ling Yin who can rule for a long time. The old Ye Gongzhen is a bit inappropriate.
But what Bai Gongsheng valued was Ye Gong's reputation.
In fact, Bai Gongsheng and Zi Qi both thought too much.
Because the rescue of the siege did not go smoothly and the battle was fought in winter, Ye Gong was indeed too old and fell ill when the battle did not go smoothly.
This is also one of the reasons why the first batch of Chu reinforcements that went north retreated ten miles.
The current Chu army is led by Dou Huai, because the sick Lord Ye passed away one night.
The two Chu armies were unable to get in touch, which led Bai Gongsheng to make such an arrangement. Fortunately for the Chu State, Ye Gong died of illness, otherwise the Chu State might order Yin to replace him too diligently.
The third batch of Chu troops heading north, their general was Gongsun Ning, who was considered to be the person with the highest status among the two supporting armies.
Bai Gongsheng asked to see Zhiyao again and told him his intention.
"National war is not a child's play." Zhiyao was speechless after hearing this.
Bai Gongsheng said: "When the two countries are fighting, the leader will not lose his virtue. If the original prince is released and returned to the throne, the whole country of Chu will be grateful."
Sun Wu who was present asked: "The Lord of Chu has returned, and the rest of us are living in our country?"
They say that they are living as guests to save face, but to put it bluntly, they are just prisoners.
Bai Gongsheng said: "A humble king also needs someone to wait on him along the way."
That is, only Bai Gongsheng is the important person, and other dignitaries are not included in the scope of surrender.
Sun Wu said strangely: "Our army is sure of victory, why do we listen to your command?"
Bai Gongsheng repeated: "When the two countries are fighting, the master will not lose his virtue." He paused and then said: "Chu, there is no deep hatred. If the king is seriously injured and dies here, then...",
I didn’t say anything else after that, everyone understands.
It seems a bit inexplicable and funny to threaten the king and ministers of the enemy country with the life and death of your own king, but similar things have happened many times in history.
That is when the two countries are about the same strength and neither wants to become the other's mortal enemy. Only then can a threat be posed.
"It is indeed impossible for me to destroy Chu State now. Considering that we still need to maintain communication in the future, I really can't let Chu Junzhang die here." Zhiyao thought to herself.
Afterwards, Zhiyao looked at Bai Gongsheng and said, "Let Yin take a rest while I discuss with all the ministers."
This is a big matter, how could it not be discussed? I believe Bai Gongsheng can understand.
Waiting for Bai Gongsheng to leave, Zhiyao expressed her thoughts.
"Capturing Chu's commander Yin and annihilating the besieged Chu army will be a great victory. However, Chu's military strength is particularly strong, and its country has no moral principles. We can come again day and night." Sun Wu said.
Because Dou Huai temporarily concealed the news of Ye Gong's death, the Yuan Kingdom did not know that the leader of Chu's first batch of reinforcements had been replaced.
Only with the current strength of the original country, it is possible to defeat the Chu State, but it is impossible to destroy the Chu State. What should be done is to continue to weaken the Chu State. Sun Wu's words are nothing more than this reminder.
It is an art of speaking. You cannot easily let go of Chu Junzhang's expression, and you cannot make things too ugly.
Cheng Shuo said: "When we establish a country, we must not lose our virtue. Or can we increase the contribution of the Chu country and then release it to the king of Chu?"
Signing something like an alliance under the city?
So, if the Chu State does not leave behind 30,000 to 50,000 people and enough hostages in this wave, don't expect the original army to let Chu Junzhang go, right?
Zhiyao is now a little concerned about the battlefield in the west, and really wants to have a few years of stability, so he can't help but hesitate, thinking that if he can use other means to weaken the Chu State, it does not necessarily have to be through killing.
Later, Bai Gongsheng was invited back again.
When Bai Gongsheng heard that not only the besieged Chu soldiers had to surrender, but also the Chu army ten miles away, he pondered for a while and said, "Yes!"
This made the king and ministers of the original country feel numb.
I'm not the type to win. I was simply shocked by Bai Gong's determination.
How come the first batch of reinforcements from the Chu State were only over 40,000, and they were sent as soon as they were told?
If the original country refuses to agree to this level, let alone what happens externally, something will happen domestically.
In addition, did Bai Gongsheng forget the characteristics of Chu State, for example, soldiers did not belong to the state, and each one was the private property of the nobles.
"When the Lord of Chu returns to his country after disarming his troops and coming with his hands tied," Zhiyao really has nothing else to say except these words.
Bai Gongsheng left the original military camp, returned to the besieged camp first, explained some things, and then went to where Dou Huai was.
The Yuan Kingdom must of course be on guard against Bai Gongsheng taking the opportunity to communicate with reinforcements, and the corresponding arrangements began to be made.
Bai Gongsheng didn't know about Ye Gong's death until he met Dou Huai. He stayed for a while before telling Dou Huai his purpose.
"In exchange for fifty or sixty thousand people to return my king to the country?" Dou Huai looked stunned.
It was not that Dou Huai felt that Chu Junzhang was not worth exchanging 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, so he asked: "Is the situation so dangerous?"
Bai Gongsheng said truthfully: "Our army will be defeated in this battle. If we are defeated in this battle, will we dare to make enemies of the original army in the future? It is better to surrender in humiliation and inspire future generations to have a desire for revenge."
Dou Huai understood immediately!
Similar incidents are not uncommon in the history of Chu State, and they have successfully inspired the Chu people's desire to strive every time.
"Everyone!" Dou Huai was not just worried about the troops, he actually felt that too many people were left to the other side.
Bai Gongsheng said: "Since the war started today, the original army's casualties were less than five thousand."
Dou Huai still believed in this. The battle between them and the original army was fierce, and they did find that the gap in the battle loss ratio between the two sides was exaggerated.
Bai Gongsheng added: "The original army's casualties accounted for 70% of the casualties."
Dou Huai still couldn't accept that all the troops he brought would become "contributions". When he heard that Bai Gongsheng himself would become a prisoner, he was speechless.
Ling Yin has never been captured in the Chu State. Once Bai Gong wins and becomes the first, it will certainly make the Yuan State unparalleled for a while, and the whole Chu State will be stimulated to the point of madness.
Previously, when Bai Gongsheng chose Ye Gong as the next Ling Yin, he had the intention of causing chaos in the Chu court.
If there is trouble in the court of Chu State, and it is impossible to go north again in a short time, it is time to calm down and think about the gap with the original state.
When the time comes, the first thing Chu needs to do is to set the rigid requirement for the A-armor rate. If the A-armor rate does not reach 70%, don't even think about going north. A defensive counterattack will be the best option.
The armor wearing rate of 70% is not low.
Even in the Yuan Kingdom with an industrialized city (Ye), Zhiyao ordered overtime work, and the popularity of iron armor was only a standing army and a full legion. Most of the others still wore paper armor, wood armor or leather armor, with leather armor being the least.
.
Chu State is pursuing armor rate? They will definitely use leather armor mostly. Yunmengze and Dajiang's crocodiles or rhinos seem to be in bad luck.
Dou Huai said: "The original country is so strong that the world is trembling and the princes are frightened. Only Chu can be allies."
Bai Gongsheng nodded his head fiercely, indicating that this was what he meant, and then asked: "Who will be the general for the follow-up reinforcements?"
Dou Huai replied: "It's Gongsun Ning."
Bai Gongsheng frowned when he heard this. He wanted to say something but held back.
Gongsun Ning? Also known as Zi Guo, he is one of the more capable clans in the Chu Kingdom. He made great military exploits when the Ba Kingdom invaded.
The reason why Bai Gongsheng frowned was quite simple. Gongsun Ning was one of the leading figures in the clan who repeatedly emphasized the need to maintain friendly relations with Zheng Guo.
But what? Bai Gongsheng had already gained some consciousness. After thinking about it, he felt that Gongsun Ning would be a very suitable candidate to succeed Ling Yin.
Four days later, Bai Gongsheng went to the original military camp to see Zhiyao again.
This time, Bai Gongsheng wore regular clothes and looked very "plain".
If you are familiar with the customs of Chu State, you can see that Bai Gongsheng regarded himself as a dead person.
Zhiyao waited for Bai Gongsheng to finish talking about the arrangements for the Chu army, and then said slowly: "I have no intention of detaining your order, so there is no need to have a death wish."
What routine?
The plot is that the day Zhiyao knows that Chu's Ling Yin is Bai Gongsheng, it will be difficult for Chu to ease its relationship with Zheng. How can it be possible to capture Bai Gongsheng!
Zhiyao looked at the dumbfounded Bai Gongsheng and said: "I think that Chu has Ling Yin, and the two countries may be friends. Ling Yin said before that Chu and I have no big enmity. Today I will mention the matter between the north and the south again.
My heart is sincere!"
Bai Gongsheng: "..."
