Zhu Xu was dressed in white clothes and wore a hat that could only be worn by senior officials of the Di tribe. He walked forward firmly step by step. The soldiers of the Jin army on both sides were lined up on both sides holding swords and halberds. They looked at Zhu Xu with nothing but contempt.
And contempt!
Xiangyang City is the most important barrier of the Jin Kingdom. The country treats you well, gives you high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and lets you guard Xiangyang. The Qin army is powerful, and it is not entirely your fault if it cannot defend it, but why can't you die for the country?
Even if you are afraid of death, can't you remain loyal and unyielding if you are captured? Fu Jian is not benevolent and righteous, so he will not kill you.
Even if you can't bear it and surrender, you can just be an idle official and make a living. It's human nature, but you still dare to go on a grand mission?
How can people be so shameless?
Although these guards wanted to cut Zhu Xu into pieces with thousands of swords, the two countries were at war and did not kill the envoys. What's more, the Qin army still has millions of troops. They should not be underestimated. It is really not suitable to cause more troubles, so they could only express their feelings with their eyes.
Zhu Xu’s contempt.
The ceremony held for Zhu Xu was very simple, and there is almost no need to describe it. The etiquette was formal. After the simple welcome, Xie Shi came out in person to greet Zhu Xu, and asked people to receive the guards and coachmen who came to escort Zhu Xu.
Entering the tent, Xie Xuan and Xie Yan were both there. They both looked at Zhu Xu with complicated expressions. It had to be said that although Zhu Xu had only been in the enemy camp for a few years, he was already too old.
The distinguished guests sat down and exchanged a few words. Xie Shi first asked: "Cilun, what advice do you have for this trip south?"
"Persuasion to surrender." Zhu Xu was also unceremonious, "The Qin State has a million troops, and it will be difficult to defeat Mount Tai. The king of heaven ordered me to come. I hope that the governor and the two generals can wake up and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. He also said that if Xie Xiang can
If you reconsider and serve the King of Heaven, you can be crowned King and Break the Earth!"
When talking about the title of king and the splitting of the earth, Xie Yan's breathing was a little rapid, but Xie Shi still had a calm smile on his face and said: "Cilun, do you think I will agree?"
"Definitely not!" Zhu Xu shook his head, "The Xie family will definitely not surrender to the Hu people."
"Then why are you here?" Xie Yan's words were very rude.
"Because I have to come, the King of Heaven asked me to come." Zhu Xu said with a bitter smile.
"Afraid of death!" Xie Yan's face was full of disdain.
"That's right, I admit it! I'm afraid of death! It's easy to die, but it's harder to survive! What's more, I have to use my life to wash away the shame of being captured!" A trace of pain flashed across Zhu Xu's face!
"Yuandu, don't be rude." Xie Shi stopped Xie Yan, "Cilun, although you are an envoy this time, I have already heard that it is not easy for you there. In fact, you really want to
Is this possible in my homeland?"
"The King of Heaven treats me with the courtesy of a national scholar, bestowing high officials and entrusting me with important tasks. He never trusts me and confides in his heart." Zhu Xu said slowly, "It's a pity that Zhu Xu is stubborn and can only recognize members of the Sima family in this life.
People become emperors!”
"Okay!" Xie Xuan clapped his hands and said, "Master Zhu's words really live up to our high expectations!"
"Cilun, although our army is victorious now, the situation is not optimistic. There are still 200,000 troops in front of Fu Rong. Although our Beifu army is elite, the number is not large enough. We cannot get any advantage in a decisive battle. What do you think?
What?" Xie Shi asked with concern.
"Go to war!"
"Going to fight?" Xie Xuan was surprised.
"Yes, go to war immediately! The sooner the better!" Zhu Xu gritted his teeth and said, "At this time, any conspiracy and tricks are useless. The Qin army has already moved south. If he waits until all his millions of troops have crossed the Huaihe River,
, do we still have a chance?"
"What do you mean?"
"Now Yangping Gong Fu Rong has led 200,000 elite troops, but now King Fu Jian is also in the army. The composition of the army is complicated. The Xianbei people and Qiang people have always had different intentions. The battle of Luojian severely damaged the morale of the Qin army.
, If at this time, Beifu uses the force of thunder to cross the mountain and fight the enemy decisively, they may be able to succeed. As long as they defeat Fu Rong's army, great things will happen!"
"What if we lose?" Xie Yan didn't know why he had always been very prejudiced against Zhu Xu.
"If you fight, you may win. If you don't fight now, you will be defeated!" After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
The atmosphere became very depressed and everyone stopped talking.
Xie Shi and Xie Xuan are thinking nervously. As commanders, one of their thoughts and one decision may determine the life or death of countless people. What's even more cruel is that they only have one chance!
This is not a game. If you make a mistake, you can reload the file. If the commander makes a mistake, the lives of tens of thousands of people will be irreparable!
Should Zhu Xu believe it? What if he rebels again?
Can you win the battle? What if you lose?
Xie Yan was in a bad mood and was sulking to himself. After all, Xie Xuan was younger and had to think over and over many issues. At the critical moment, it was Xie Shi who made the decision.
That's right, we have no choice. With millions of troops coming together, the gods will never be able to defeat us again. The only chance is now! We must defeat Fu Jian and Fu Rong now! If we succeed, we will take the opportunity to regain the country. If we fail,
That’s what we try our best to remedy!
"We have no other choice, do we?" Xie Shi's voice was very low, "Cilun, I am willing to believe you, I believe you unconditionally. I have decided to formally declare a challenge to Fu Jian and ask you to take it back with you.
, okay?"
"Dare you disobey me!" Zhu Xu's expression became determined!
"Sixth Uncle?" Xie Yan asked anxiously. He seemed to have never been able to trust Zhu Xu.
"I have decided!" Xie Shi waved his hand, "Tomorrow, we will fight Fu resolutely! Victory or defeat depends on this one move, there is no other way!"
Returning to Shouyang City, Zhu Xu immediately found Fu Jian and revived him.
"How's it going?" Fu Jian was dressed in regular clothes and looked very relaxed. After the greetings, he asked about the results of his mission.
After saluting, Zhu Xu said calmly: "His Majesty the King of Heaven, even Xie Shi, Xuan and Xie Yan are unwilling to surrender. They even said that they would fight to the death!"
"Sigh." Fu Jian shook his head, "Although this is expected, I am still very sorry. What else did they say?"
"Xie Shi has written a letter of war and agreed to a decisive battle with His Majesty tomorrow!" Zhu Xu said with a look that showed no trace of sadness or joy.
"Oh?" Fu Jian became interested, "Send it over!"
Taking the letter from the soldier, Fu Jian opened it and wrote: "Your Majesty, your army has penetrated deeply, but blocked the river and refused to defend it. Are you attacking or defending? Are you going to fight a protracted war? Can you afford to use up the food and fodder?
?Now that I am leading a large army, I hope you will retreat slightly. After our army has passed through the fat water, the two sides will have a showdown again. Wouldn't it be better this way?"
The name is signed by the uncle of Xingping County. During the holidays, he went to conquer the governor Xie Shi.
After Fu Jian finished reading, he laughed loudly and said: "The generals are discussing matters!"
