- Seeing Fan Zhi's anger, Zhang Mai calmed down and asked Cao Yuanzhong: "The power of negotiation should have been in charge of Yuanzhong. The matter was urgent, so I passed over you and issued the order to the south. Now that this accident has happened, you What do you think?"
Cao Yuanzhong read Zhao Pu's report again and said: "Since we are recruiting people to surrender, we can't give up halfway, otherwise it will make a joke. It's just that this Fan Yanguang is too short-sighted. He behaves according to the habits of the Central Plains vassal town, but he doesn't know that he is committing suicide." I am the Tang Dynasty! But in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Pu’s handling. There are quite a few loopholes in his words that can be used for our operation afterwards."
Fan Zhi also said: "Zhao Pu made a promise on behalf of the marshal. Even if there are problems, once the words are spoken, they cannot go back on it."
Zhang Mai said: "Okay." He pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Fang beside him: "We are planning to confer a canonization document to confer Fan Yanguang as the Lulong Festival Envoy. When the city of Ye is settled, he will be asked to lead the army north along the canal to meet. Suppress Du Chongwei."
Liu Heihu said in his heart: "On Youzhou's side, let's rush over and make a draw. If it weren't for the food problem, Xue Fu's cavalry would go south and sweep Youzhou to the ground with one sweep. Why do we need that Fan Yanguang to do it!" But today! Ce Jun respected Zhang Mai as high as heaven, and would not question Zhang Mai's decision rashly even if he had some doubts in his heart.
As soon as Cao Yuanzhong heard Zhang Mai's two arrangements, he immediately knew that this was a trap. Although Fan Zhi was a scholar, he had gained much experience in the past few years, and he had a vague realization after just a second thought. , write it and give it to Zhang Mai. He has felt Zhang Mai's temper during this period, so this document is concise.
Zhang Mai took one look at it and said, "That's what it means, but it's too short and too straightforward. Give me a dictionary, a classical one, something I can't even understand."
Li Fang was stunned for a moment, but he was obviously overqualified as a secretary, and he didn't ask any questions about things that the Lord didn't explain. He immersed himself in revising the document and expanded the article more than three times. The writing is elegant and the rhetoric is brilliant. It is really a good article comparable to the Ci Fu of the Six Dynasties, but it is extremely incompatible with Tiance's previous edict writing style.
After the draft of the canonization edict was completed, Li Fang copied it again in regular script on the scroll. Then he was stamped with the golden seal of the Khan of Heaven, and was canonized in the southern city of Yedu.
——————————
Now that the north-south road has been opened, the exchange of documents can only take three days. Fan Yanguang is very happy to be canonized. Lulong Jiedushi is in charge of the greater Youzhou area. Zhao Pu's original words had hints. Coupled with Zhang Mai's order to go north to Youzhou to suppress Du Chongwei, he made do in three attempts. Fan Yanguang thought that it was indeed the case and happily accepted the order.
He was so proud that he passed the canonization document to the generals of Yedu. When the generals saw it, they all came to congratulate him, but no one dared to take a closer look. The warriors didn't understand this either. When he arrived at Li Bo's place, he didn't see anything at first. Until he saw that the seal was the seal of the Khan of Heaven, he thought to himself: "There's something weird!"
After Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu joined, one of the great efforts was to standardize the etiquette system, and the production of seals was a crucial link. Now Zhang Mai has two major seals. One is the seal of Admiral Tiance, used for military affairs, and the other is the seal of Tiankhan of the Tang Dynasty, used for the canonization of the Western Regions and Mobei. Both of them are gold seals. Because Zhang Mai has not yet ascended the throne as emperor, he has not yet made the emperor's seal. When Shi Jingtang sent Sang Weihan to negotiate peace, he mentioned in the secret discussion that he would present the imperial seal. In the end, the promise was broken and the matter was left unresolved. This incident laid the foundation for mutual distrust in the diplomacy of the Tang and Jin Dynasties.
As for internal affairs, there is a seal of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, which was made of the finest jade presented by Khotan. Now in charge of Zheng Wei, a seal of "Words for All People" is made of bronze and is in charge of Yang Dingguo. A seal of "Public Law of the World" is also made of bronze and is in charge of Justice Zhang De. There is also a newly cast seal of the Prime Minister of East China. It is a temporary seal tailor-made for Dongshu. It has the same authority as the seal of the Prime Minister of East China in the specified eastern region. If Dongshu removes it in the future, it will be taken back and sealed.
In the imagination of Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu, if Zhang Mai ascends the throne in the future and makes another seal of the emperor, or seizes the imperial seal from Shi Jingtang, a system of two jade, two copper, two gold and six supreme seals can be formed. Nowadays, the emperor's seal has not yet been made. If there is an important event, the three seals of General Tiance's gold seal, the government prime minister's jade seal and the "On behalf of all the people" bronze seal will have the legal effect equivalent to the emperor's seal.
Li Bo attached great importance to the etiquette system and studied it deeply. He had already done in-depth research on the etiquette system before joining Tiance. When he saw that Zhang Mai was canonizing the Jiedu envoy, he used the seal of the Khan of Heaven. He knew there was something different, but he didn't say it out loud.
When the edict reached Zhang Qiwei, the former fortune teller, who was not highly educated but attentive, said, "Why is it not the emperor's seal, but the Tian Khan's seal?"
Li Ma smiled and said: "The marshal has not yet ascended to the throne of emperor, how can he have the emperor's seal?"
Fan Yanguang?He was actually a warrior and didn't care much about etiquette. He smiled and said, "Isn't Tian Khan the emperor?"
Zhang Qiwei was limited by his vision and knowledge, so he stopped thinking about it.
After Fan Yanguang accepted the canonization, he immediately ordered the three armies to prepare and prepare to go north to Youzhou - Fan Yanguang was not a person without any political vision. He naturally knew that Yedu was the heart of Hebei, controlling Hebei in the north and Shandong in the south. In the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Wei The regime even used this place as its political center for a while. This is a city that no matter who becomes the emperor, it is impossible to enfeoff Yedu. However, as an important border town, Youzhou needs a general to guard it. According to Fan Yanguang , Who else could I give up?
His army and horses were not natives of Yedu, so they did not miss the city. He also heard that Youji had 500,000 acres of fertile land waiting for him, so everyone was enthusiastic and gathered together after hearing the order. The remaining soldiers and horses who defended the city were temporarily handed over to him. After leaving Li Marsh, there were a large number of inland river ships that could transport troops and food at Yedu's canal wharf - these were originally prepared by Shi Jingtang for the army to go north, but now they were all given to Tiance.
The army was about to set off when suddenly news came from the north - Pingyou Cangjing Yanguang had surrendered!
——————————
Jing Yanguang is one of the two deputy commanders of the East Route Army, Shi Jin is the third commander of the East Route Army, Du Chongwei is cruel and ruthless, and Fu Yanqing is a mediocre man. As for Jing Yanguang, although he is a warrior, he attaches great importance to the distinction between Huayi and Huayi. In fact, he was opposed to Du Chongwei's various pro-Liao and anti-Tang decisions, but he couldn't defeat the coach and had long accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.
Jing Yanguang defended the stronghold in Pingyoucang. He knew that he was no match for Gao Xingzhou in the field, so he did not leave the stronghold for half a step. Just guarding the canal and the granary cellars. At this time, the world was turbulent and people in Hebei were panicked. Even a three-year-old child thought that Du Chongwei would not be able to withstand the attack of Zhang Mai and Yang Yi. As one of the three commanders, Jing Yanguang was naturally more I know how low the morale of Youji's defenders is now! Jing Yanguang also didn't expect Du Chongwei, who was in a difficult position to save himself, to rescue him, and was already thinking about a way out. Unexpectedly, news of the change of flag in Yedu came at this time!
Yedu is guarding the main road south of the canal. Once Fan Yanguang surrenders, the retreat of the Eastern Route Army will be cut off! When the news reached Pingyoucang, all the soldiers in the village felt as if they had been struck by lightning. On the contrary, Jing Yanguang was calm - his originally wavering heart was completely settled because of the change of banner in Yedu.
He was already preparing to send a secret envoy to Gao Xingzhou. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Chao sneaked into Pingyoucang and threatened to surrender. To Jing Yanguang, it was like going to sleep. Zhang Mai stuffed a pillow over and settled the matter that night. The next day, he made arrangements to monitor the generals who might rebel, then summoned the generals and announced that he would Abandoned Jin and returned to Tang.
Compared with the change of flag in Yedu, this change in Pingyoucang is no more thrilling. After hearing Jing Yanguang's order, not one of the soldiers in Manzhai raised any objection, they even cheered on the spot!
On the second day, Gao Xingzhou's cavalry stationed in Pingyoucang. Jing Yanguang also honestly handed over his military power and asked to see Zhang Mai in Yixian County.
Yedu has already changed its flag, and Pingyoucang defected again, which immediately produced a huge chain effect. The five states of Cang, Jing, De, Bei, and Di successively announced changes of flag, and even the rebel army in Jizhou announced that they would accept Zhang Longxiang as emperor. Except for a few states and counties, the attitude is **. Most of the prefectures and counties in Hebei returned to the natural policy, and Du Chongwei of Youzhou was surrounded on three sides.
——————————
When the news reached Yedu, Fan Yanguang cursed loudly: "If you don't surrender sooner or later, you surrender at this time!" He originally planned to go north along the canal and join Gao Xingzhou to defeat Du Chongwei. The secret warehouse was pulled out. Unexpectedly, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Jing Yanguang is also aware of current affairs, and Fan Yanguang is inevitably missing a piece of credit.
Sun Rui said: "General, we have to go north quickly, don't get there before we get there. Du Chongwei has also surrendered. When the time comes, the marshal will grant him the title of Fanyang Jiedushi or something like that, then the general's Lulong Jiedu will be empty. !”
Fan Yanguang said: "That makes sense!" He immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to move quickly. Firstly, they were busy on their way, and secondly, Zhang Mai had already sent Sima to supervise military discipline, so there was no harm to the place along the way.
——————————
After all, the exchange of letters is not as good as the movement of soldiers and horses. Fan Yanguang has just set out, and Gao Xingzhou's report has also been sent to Yi County. He sent his son to deliver it in person. Zhang Mai felt as if a flower had bloomed after receiving the report, and his face Shang Ye was full of smiles, his eyes narrowed, and he said to Gao Huaide: "Have you got all the granaries in each cellar? How much grain is there?"
"We got it! Jing Yanguang surrendered simply, and the granary was not damaged." Gao Huaide said: "As soon as my father entered Pingyou, he took care of each warehouse, changing defenses where needed, and rectifying what needed to be rectified, to ensure that nothing went wrong. As for the number, the grain accountant is counting it now. There are too many warehouses. The exact number will have to wait for two days. I am anxious to report to the marshal, so I will come first., but according to my father’s estimation, it should be enough to feed 400,000 people for half a year. "
Zhang Mai said with great joy: "That's enough! That's enough! Haha, haha, haha!"
Previously, the military rations were limited, and Zhang Mai could not move even if he had soldiers and horses. Now with the support of two large granaries, Zhang Mai no longer had any scruples in his heart. He laughed three times and said to Li Fang: "Important military order, one, follow Yang Guangyuan and go south. Take over Yedu. He will supervise the southern Hebei defense line."
When everyone in the tent heard this, their hearts trembled.
"Military order! Second, Xue Fu's troops and horses, move south across the board and join me in Youzhou!"
Liu Heihu was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that the marshal was about to let go.
"Imitating a military order! Third, attack each other with virtue and force. If the enemy can be defeated, cross the Yellow River and cut off the connection between Luoyang and Shandong!"
Three military orders were issued by Li Fang with just a swipe of his pen.
Cao Yuanzhong said: "Juyong Guan Changsi and Gubei Pavilion Zhao Siwan have secretly sent people to the Yi a few days ago and are willing to abandon the secret and surrender to the light."
Juyongguan is the northwest gate of Youzhou, and Gubei Pavilion is the northeast gate of Youzhou. Once the two gates are opened, Youzhou has no natural dangers to guard against facing the north. Now that Zhang Mai is in Yixian again, the north and south armies are attacking from a pincer attack, and Youzhou has become an isolated city. In this flat land, Du Chongwei will have to fight against the victorious division of Tiance Tang Army. Almost everyone thinks there is no suspense about the outcome. .
Zhang Mai smiled and said: "Okay. You see what they ask for, as long as it's not too excessive, I'll grant it!"
At this time, a sergeant rushed in from outside and said: "Report! Du Chongwei of Youzhou has sent an envoy to ask for surrender!"
There was a roar in the big tent. Just as Tiance's armies were about to besiege and suppress them, Du Chongwei came to surrender.
Liu Heihu feels deeply sorry. Cao Yuanzhong sneered, Fan Zhi beamed with joy, and Gao Huaide murmured: "He knows how to read the wind!"
Zhang Mai did not take the surrender form, but looked at Cao Yuanzhong. Cao Yuanzhong took the surrender form, took a look at it, and said, "That's right. Du Chongwei is willing to raise his army to surrender."
Zhang Mai said: "What are the conditions?"
Cao Yuanzhong said: "He also seeks the position of Jiedushi and the title of five hundred miles."
Zhang Mai laughed loudly and said: "His news is not slow. He probably heard that I canonized Fan Yanguang."
Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "That's probably true. However, he has a higher status than Fan Yanguang, but he only wants the same reward. He knows that he is notorious for being involved in the Thousand Corpses Pit, so he dare not lower the price himself."
Zhang Mai sneered: "Since he knows that the Thousand Corpses Pit is a sin, he should know that I will not forgive him easily!"
Fan Zhi said: "Marshal. Do you want to reject him?"
Zhang Mai clapped his hands and said: "Three days later, summon the generals, the elders of Yi County and the scholars who came to vote during this time, and I will personally receive his envoy."
Cao Yuanzhong received the order and went to make arrangements.
It so happened that during these three days, three groups of people came, one from the south, one from the west, and one from the north.
Which three groups of people?
——————————
Coming from the west was Wei Renpu, who was ordered by Zhang Mai. Two imperial examinations were held in Liangzhou and Qinzhou. The Liangzhou examination was open to the three areas of Ganliang, Huangshuo and Ganzhou, while the Qinzhou examination was open to all areas except Ganliang. Most of the scholars who came to take the exam were from Qin, but it was not limited to western Qin. It can be said that scholars in the entire Guanzhong area were moved by the news, and even people from the Central Plains and Bashu areas came all the way. In the end, Wei Renpu admitted 80 people in Liangzhou and 120 people in Qinzhou. Known as two hundred candidates, after the admissions were completed, according to Zhang Mai's arrangement, they were sent to various departments to observe the administration for a month, and then divided into categories. After a month of training, he was brought to Zhang Mai's command.
Along with these two hundred officials, there were thirty judges.
When Zhang Mai saw Wei Renpu and Erbai Juzi, he naturally had a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I want to use these people and teach them at the same time. First let them go to the grassroots level to practice and slowly develop their skills." Come, the heavy responsibility of governing the world will fall on their shoulders in the future. Now that Hebei is about to be pacified, I will inevitably ask you to preside over another exam in Yedu."
Wei Renpu is so happy that he can hardly contain himself! Since ancient times, prime ministers have appeared in Kanto and generals have appeared in Kansai. The writing style and number of scholars in Guanzhong area are incomparable with those in Shandong and Hebei. Now that the power of Tiance is far greater than it was a few months ago, scholars from Hebei and Shandong will definitely flock to the Yedu examination, which is the hometown of sages and the source of Confucianism! The fact that he can preside over such a big test is of great significance. At least his status as a grandmaster must be determined by this.
Fan Zhi was envious after hearing this.
The arrival of these two hundred moves and thirty judges will undoubtedly greatly enrich theRealizing the power of Tang Dynasty's civil servants in the East.
Zhang Mai divided the candidates into three batches.
Juzi from the Ganliang area has been under Tiance's rule for a long time, and has long been accustomed to the administrative model of the Tiance regime. His loyalty is unquestionable, and he is an intellectual in the Ganliang area, and he is a person who can read in the northwest region. Some people are either officials, generals, or businessmen with certain financial resources and vision. They have family backgrounds and have received one month of political observation and one month of training. Although they are not yet proficient in government affairs, they are better than At first, Zhang Mai would rather believe in the scholars who came from all over Hebei. Therefore, all of these people were sent to Zhang Mai, but they were not allowed to be official seal officials. Instead, they were sent to every state and county to serve as deputy governors and county magistrates. The rest were left in various departments of Dongshu and were managed by Fan Zhi Select and recruit.
According to Wei Renpu, the one hundred and twenty people selected through the Qinzhou examination had significantly better academic foundations than the scholars from Gansu and Liang. However, these people had just arrived, and most of them still had the habits of their hometown, so Zhang Mai did not dare to directly To allow them to get in touch with government affairs, Zhang Mai divided them into three groups, with 40 people in each group:
The first group was assigned by Fan Zhi, who was ordered to inspect the states and counties under the jurisdiction of Dongshu. They had the power to inspect all local government affairs, but they had the right to visit but not to make judgments. The results of the visit would be reported and dealt with after returning to Dongshu;
The second group was led by Wei Renpu. He went south to Yedu and was responsible for collecting and organizing all available materials and classics in Hebei and Shandong. He also served as Wei Renpu's assistant in Yedu;
The third group stayed with Zhang Mai and formed a secretarial group with Li Fang. They sorted out the imperial edicts and accepted Zhang Mai's instructions in their spare time.
As for the thirty judges, they are even more important.
Since the Tiance regime established its foothold in Ganliang, it has followed a path of judicial independence. The judicial system has nothing to do with military affairs. Cases are decided only by law. Salaries are issued directly by the central government and are not controlled by local officials and generals. They are vertically responsible to Zhang Mai. The thirty judges are now transferred from Longyou. All of them are powerful figures in Tiance's judicial system. Zhang Mai asked them to take action as soon as possible to establish a brand new judicial institution for the prefectures and counties under Dongshu's jurisdiction.
As soon as these scholars and thirty judges arrived, the image of Tiance's regime in Lianghe was immediately changed, bringing out a civilized atmosphere amidst the original vigorous martial arts style.
——————————
Coming from the south were a group of surrendered Hebei generals and ministers headed by Jing Yanguang. Jing Yanguang actually set off on the same day as Gao Huaide, but he walked a little slower on the road, so he was one day late. A group of people rushed to Yi County, including thirty or forty people.
As for those coming from the north, they were the tribal chiefs and elders who surrendered in the two battles of Mobei and Linhuang, totaling 150 people.
After Zhang Mai arranged the matters between the scholars and the judges, the tribal chiefs and elders from Monan and Mobei arrived. They were all people who were frightened by Yang Yi. After entering the city, they didn't dare to stand. When they saw the big tent from a distance, they all knelt down and crawled in. More than a hundred people knelt in front of Zhang Mai's tent. Zhang Mai didn't come out either. He only let Liu Heihu come out to comfort him, and then Order them to obey orders in front of the tent.
The two hundred new moves haven’t left yet. Seeing how powerful the marshal was, everyone admired him extremely.
On the third day, Jing Yanguang arrived and saw hundreds of Mobei elders lying in front of Tiance's tent. There were two hundred scholars standing there, who were so frightened that they even bent their waists. The other generals, ministers and servants were all blocked out of the tent. Only Jing Yanguang entered. He didn't dare to look at Zhang Mai carefully, so he bowed to him and said Long live.
Zhang Mai said: "General Jing, you have worked hard all the way."
Jing Yanguang said hurriedly: "My lord, Fan Yanguang, thank you Marshal for your concern."
Zhang Mai said: "Although if I attack by force, Pingyoucang will definitely not be able to defend it, but if you are ruthless, you can always set a fire. However, you did not burn the warehouse or destroy the grain, but destroyed Pingyoucang completely. They were all handed over to Gao Xingzhou, and this is a great achievement. Fan Yanguang handed over all of Ye and asked me for a seal of five hundred miles. What about you, how many hundred miles do you want?"
"I don't dare!" Jing Yanguang said hurriedly: "The transfer of Pingyoucang is in accordance with God's will and the people's will, and I dare not take credit. Since I have returned to the Tang Dynasty, everything must be subject to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. The marshal has given me a gift, but I dare not resign. , the marshal has sent me, and I am happy to accept it. If I can continue to serve the marshal like General Yang Guangyuan, it will be my blessing!"
Zhang Mai laughed loudly and said: "Okay, you are someone who knows how to advance and retreat! Don't worry, I will not forget your contribution, and neither will the court. The reward you deserve will not be less. But. In my Tiance Tang Dynasty, rewards are based on merit, and assignments are based on ability. Whether you will be reused depends on your ability."
After Jing Yanguang made a completely different choice from Fan Yanguang that day, many of his subordinates complained privately, feeling that Shangfeng did not strive for wealth and honor for them, but at this time Jing Yanguang personally?Hearing Zhang Mai's words, I felt relieved, knowing that I had made the right choice.
He thanked him again, then stood up, and heard Zhang Mai say: "Have you ever informed Du Chongwei about your turning from darkness to light?"
"Of course not!" Jing Yanguang said hurriedly: "Yanguang hated the barbarians since he was a child, but the Du thieves have repeatedly colluded with the Khitan. In the past, the ministers had to endure hardships when living under his tent. Now that they can escape from the prison, they will have no choice. I wish I had anything to do with that rascal!"
Zhang Mai said: "Is he still colluding with the Khitan?"
"Yes!" Jing Yanguang said: "When he saw Wang Shi attacking from the west and north, he knew he was outmatched, so he secretly sent an envoy to Liaodong. Although he did this secretly, there were also clues. Fu Yanqing said this I am also quite dissatisfied. I wrote to tell him that I have also written to advise him, but Du Chongwei still refuses to listen to the advice and insists on going his own way. This man is hopeless!"
Zhang Mai chuckled and turned to look at Li Fang. Li Fang was very clever. Nowadays, sometimes Zhang Mai didn't need to speak to understand what he meant, so he took Du Chongwei's lowered form and gave it to Jing Yanguang. Jing Yanguang read it over and was quite surprised and said: "Does this Du Chongwei also know how to submit to Tianwei? But Marshal, beware of fraud!"
Zhang Mai said with a smile: "It's not necessarily a fraud. The current situation cannot be reversed by a mere surrender plan. But I believe you said that Du Chongwei and the Khitan are still in collusion. I guess he wants to make friends on both sides and buy one at the same time. Take insurance."
At this time, a guard came to report that the altar was ready. Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's meet Du Chongwei's envoy."
There is an earthen platform in Yi County. In the past two days, Zhang Mai sent people to add some decorations and turn it into a high altar. At this time, the people and horses were spread out. The chiefs of each tribe prostrated under the altar, and the scholars stood in front of them. Zhang Mai climbed up to the high altar and sat firmly, and Ma Xiaochun announced that Du Chongwei's envoy was approaching.
Du Chongwei’s envoy turned out to be Fu Yanqing, one of the three commanders of the East Route Army! Holding an official watch in hand, he approached slowly. Fu Yanqing is from a famous family, although he is middle-aged. But he is still a handsome man, with a dignified and steady demeanor, and he can still maintain his grace even under such pressure.
Zhang Mai praised Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu next to him: "This man has style!"
Fu Yanqing came to the altar and presented the surrender form.
Zhang Mai said: "Fu Yanqing? You are Du Chongwei's general! He actually sent you here, aren't you afraid that I will hold you captive?"
Fu Yanqing looked calm and talked: "Marshal is a role model for the world, and he will never do such low-level things. Besides, the troops from the north and south are approaching Youzhou. If Marshal really wants to capture Fu Yanqing, he can just send troops to capture him directly. There is no need. Statement of self-harm.”
Zhang Mai smiled and said: "The eloquence is good. But it is inappropriate to use a general as an envoy. I heard that Du Chongwei's son is also with him. It is more appropriate for him to send his son here, considering his role in the army. No. It will have an impact on the morale of the troops. When it comes to cronies, sending a son will naturally be more sincere."
This was the first time Jing Yanguang came into contact with Zhang Mai, but after hearing these two words, he thought: "Zhang Longxiang can win the world. It is indeed no accident. These words are fair and just, but they are enough to break the rift between Du and Fu." "
The sadness in Fu Yanqing's eyes flashed away, and Zhang Mai said again: "But since you are offering a surrender, I can't help but listen. You read it and I listen."
You already knew what Fu Yanqing wanted to lower his watch. Today is just a ceremony, so why bother listening to it again? But Zhang Mai asked him to read aloud in public, so Fu Yanqing had no choice but to act according to the order. His voice was loud and clear, and the whole audience could hear it.
Zhang Mai said to the civil servants and generals on his left and right: "It seems that Du Chongwei has really decided to surrender to me. Did you hear clearly?"
Everyone on the left and right said: "Listen clearly."
Zhang Mai asked the demoted generals who had just surrendered: "Do you know it well?"
Jing Yanguang and others hurriedly said: "Listen clearly."
Zhang Mai then asked the elders of Mobei and Monan: "Did you hear clearly?"
Those clan elders may not all understand the elaborate message, but they also know what is going on, and they all quickly responded: "Listen clearly."
"Okay, very good!" Zhang Mai said: "Du Chongwei knows that he has no choice but to surrender, so he wants to surrender. But just because he wants to surrender, it doesn't mean that I have to accept it!"
When Fu Yanqing heard this, his expression changed.
Zhang Mai said: "If you, Fu Yanqing, come to surrender to me now, I will accept this letter of surrender."
After hearing this, Fu Yanqing’s expression became even more fierce!
Zhang Mai added: "If he, Du Chongwei, had not colluded with the Khitan people, I would accept this letter of surrender."
"If he, Du Chongwei, did not stand by and watch or even block the border when the Khitans killed my Chinese people, I would accept this letter of surrender."
"If he, Du Chongwei, still has any shame at all, after discovering the pit of thousands of corpsesIf you go east angrily or sincerely repent, I will accept this letter of surrender! "
"But now, when he is desperate, when he is certain to lose, he only thinks of surrendering! There are such cheap things in the world!"
When Zhang Mai said this, he pointed at Fu Yanqing and said: "Go back and tell Du Chongwei that I can spare all of you in the East Route Army, but I will not spare him alone! In these troubled times, battlefield killings are inevitable , but for whatever reason, he disregarded the life and death of the people, gave a helping hand but refused to help, and even blocked the border to help the tyrants to commit crimes. The Khitan had half of the sins of the pit of thousands of corpses, and he also had half of them! I will never tolerate this matter, but I can God won't tolerate it! If he really wants to save his men, let him cut off his head! I promise that he will not be as guilty as his wife and children! Otherwise, let him wash his neck and wait for me to cut it off myself!" - Didn't finish reading?
