    Inside Fufeng Pass, Zhou Zhaoduan was sitting in the tent.

    He was thinking about the departure of Wang Tan and Wu Youdao. Now that Wang Tan and Wu Youdao have left and left him to guard Fufeng Pass, it is tantamount to his death here.

    It is true that Wang Qin has already said that he is allowed to make decisions.  He can even evacuate once he really can't hold it, as long as he can delay it for a while.

    In fact, this is also a good arrangement.

    It's just that Zhou Zhao's heart is still a little dissatisfied, because staying is tantamount to staying to die.

    When Zhou Zhao was sitting quietly and thinking, an elderly man entered.

    This person's name is Xu Chongwen, and he is a counselor of Zhou Zhao.

    Xu Chongwen is already in his sixties, quite old.  When he was young, he was a county magistrate, but because Xu Chongwen offended the powerful at that time, he was dismissed from office.

    Since then, Xu Chongwen has never been an official, working as an aide to support his family.

    Xu Chongwen said: "General!"

    Zhou Zhao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, sit down!"

    After thanking Xu Chongwen, he sat down steadfastly, and said seriously: "General, I heard that the king and the prime minister have taken people away. Now, are we left to guard Fufeng Pass to resist Xia Guo's attack?"

    "yes!"

    Zhou Zhao nodded and answered.

    Xu Chongwen continued: "When the army led by the king returned, our soldiers came into contact with the other party and heard the news that Xia Guo's side had extremely powerful weapons. Not only were there artillery bombardments, but there was also a weapon that could fight in two or three  Shoot people from a hundred paces away, shoot people with one blow, and reap their lives. Especially Xia Guo's cannons are far stronger than ours, and they are very difficult to deal with."

    Zhou Zhao said: "This is indeed an existing problem. I have also heard about this matter. After all, news has been sent back before, and it is not a secret."

    Xu Chongwen said: "Xia Guo is so powerful that even the king and the prime minister fled back in embarrassment. We are now a group of remnants and defeated generals. How can we stop the opponent? I am afraid that this is quite difficult."

    When Zhou Zhao heard it, his mind came alive.

    Although he is said to be a general, in fact, he is not a vulgar person, and he has also read books.

    The mind is quite meticulous.

    After hearing Xu Chongwen's words, it was obvious that there was something in his words, otherwise, he wouldn't have been talking about how powerful Xia Guo was, or how invincible Wang Qin was.

    Zhou Zhao said: "Xu Gong, what do you think?"

    Xu Chongwen said: "General, the old consideration is that we don't need to serve the Southern Kingdom now. After all, the king can't stop it, and the king has voluntarily withdrawn. Why are we resisting now? So, we simply  Open Fufeng Pass and surrender directly. In this way, we can continue to serve under Du Qi's command."

    When saying this, Xu Chongwen looked expectant.

    After all, he didn't want to die with him.

    He didn't want to be buried with Nanguo.

    Zhou Zhao stroked the beard under his chin, and a cold look flashed in those tiger eyes, but it was so fleeting that no one noticed it at all.  He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Grand Xu, I was going to surrender at one point, but it is tantamount to betraying the king and the Southern Kingdom. We will all be charged as second ministers!"

    Xu Chongwen laughed out loud.

    Zhou Zhao leaned forward slightly and said, "Why is Mr. Xu laughing?"

    Xu Chongwen said: "The reason why the old man laughed is because the general mentioned the second minister. We people are indeed from the southern kingdom. It is also normal for the so-called "eating the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor". If the southern kingdom can resist the Xia kingdom  We must go all out to serve the king. The problem is that the situation is not like this now!"

    "Today's Xia Kingdom has an absolute advantage."

    "At this time, it is almost impossible to resist the Xia Kingdom. Especially the king has withdrawn with a large army, regardless of our situation, so staying now is actually sending us to death, and we are just using it to delay time.  "

    "This is not a matter of loyalty to the emperor."

    "This is to ignore the lives of us people, and to use our lives to fulfill the last days of the Southern Kingdom."

    Although Xu Chongwen is old, when he speaks out of anger, he is full of spirit and high-spirited.  He spoke convincingly, and continued impassionedly: "In fact, if the king stays and wants to fight with us and fight with us, that's nothing. This old man will fight to the death with the king even if he gives up his old bones.  "

    "The problem is, the king left first.??¡±

    "The king has left, and the prime minister has also left, leaving us to guard Fufeng Pass."

    "It's clear, we are just abandoned pieces, and we are also pawns used by the king to delay time. Under such circumstances, the king doesn't care about us, so why do we talk about loyalty to the king?"

    Xu Chongwen said: "General, what this old man said is from the bottom of his heart, and also the voice of all the soldiers in the army. This matter is also on the minds of many people. General, please think twice."

    "well¡­¡­"

    Zhou Zhao couldn't help but let out a sigh.

    Xu Chongwen said: "General, why are you sighing?"

    Zhou Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "The reason why I sigh is because I really want to betray the king, and I still can't bear it."

    Xu Chongwen said: "General, you are too kind. You want to serve and be loyal to the king, but the king has already given up on you and asked you to die. This is not reciprocal at all."

    Zhou Zhao also nodded, and said: "Xu Gong, in our Fufeng Pass, who are the generals who are ready to surrender with this general? You bring these people here, and this general will give a lecture. In addition, you have to ask them again. They  How did you think about it? After all, this is a big matter, and we need to understand each other's demands clearly. In this way, we can submit conditions only after we submit to Queen Xia. If we directly submit to the past, and King Xia ignores us and doesn't value us, then we will  Waste of energy."

    After Xu Chongwen heard it, he never doubted anything. The old man smiled more, nodded and said: "What the general said is true, this old man will go and call everyone here."

    Zhou Zhao said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

    Xu Chongwen said: "I don't have to work hard, after all, this is all planned for the general, and it is a matter of course."

    At this moment, Xu Chongwen breathed a sigh of relief.

    He has been working for Zhou Zhao, and he still thinks he knows Zhou Zhao quite well.  Zhou Zhao is a very loyal and courageous person, loyal to the Southern Kingdom, and it is not easy to persuade him to surrender. He is already ready to persuade him earnestly.

    Now, Zhou Zhao agrees to surrender, which is very good.

    It also saves a lot of trouble.

    Xu Chongwen stood up and said goodbye, then turned to call people.

    After Xu Chongwen left, Zhou Zhao's face became colder.  His eyes gradually became sharper, and then he quickly called his personal guards, made arrangements quickly, and then stayed in the tent and waited quietly.
