    Meng Ju was stunned. He thought he heard wrongly: "Are you going to¡ªplease surrender?"

    Shi Wenting took off the helmet on his head, knelt down on his knees and prostrated on the ground: "Yes. The guilty general was confused for a while and was bewitched by the national thief Tuoba Xiong, and followed him to raise troops to defy the imperial court. Now the guilty general has finally woken up,  Feeling deeply guilty, I am willing to lead my troops to surrender to the Governor-General. I beg the Governor-General to forgive his past sins and to give him a way out. The guilty general is willing to be loyal and loyal to the Governor-General and to serve the Governor-General.  The work of dogs and horses.¡±

    Shi Wenting kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead hit the floor tiles of the city wall, making a "bang bang" sound.  When he raised his head, everyone was stunned: the frontier general had bruises on his forehead, tears streaming from his eyes, and his expression was sad.

    Meng Ju was at a loss: It¡¯s not that he has never surrendered the enemy before, but in the past few times when he had surrendered, he had exhausted all his plans and tried his best to persuade and express his sincerity. Which time had he not spent a lot of effort?  But now, there is no need to even negotiate. As soon as the enemy met, they knelt down and cried out for surrender. This posture made it seem like all he had to do was say "good" and everything would be done - good things came too easily, and Meng Ju fell.  I can't believe it.

    "Hurry and help General Shi up - General, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly. General, we welcome you to turn from darkness to light. As long as you are truly sincere, things can always be settled."

    "Sin will be surrendered, and he is absolutely sincere. The Governor must believe it!"

    Shi Wenting suddenly knelt down and kowtowed a few more times. The sound of "Tong Tong Tong" made Meng Ju's scalp feel numb. Didn't this guy think that just kowtowing loudly enough would prove his sincerity?  Is that enough?

    Being confused by this stupid brigade commander, Meng Ju took a step back.  Signaling Mr. Wen to come forward and ask questions.  Mr. Wen coughed dryly and took a step forward: "General Shi understands the righteousness and abandons darkness to the light. This is good. But I don't know how many troops the general intends to bring with him when he surrenders this time?"

    Shi Lushuai kowtowed until he felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet.  He was helped to sit down on the stone steps. Blood was pouring from his forehead, but he still spoke clearly: "General Mo is returning this time, so his own Thunder Brigade will naturally come over. There are probably still more soldiers and horses in the Thunder Brigade."  More than two thousand years old - but not only Mo General's own troops, there are also many brothers in the army who also admire the Commander-in-Chief, and asked General Mo to surrender to the Commander-in-Chief together."

    "Oh? Do other generals also have this intention?"

    "Yes, there are seven or eight brigade commanders in the army who asked me to ask questions - this trip was because I was the vanguard. Everyone asked me to contact the governor."

    "General Shi, who are you talking about?"

    "Commander Luo Xiaocheng of the White Tiger Brigade of the front army, Commander Xiong Ba Brigade of the Chinese Army Xiong Gang, Commander Gao Fei of the Raptor Brigade of the Chinese Army, Commander Li Che of the Hengshan Brigade of the rear army, and those who are working as the vanguard with me from below the city  Commander Huang Min of the Feihe Brigade and many others asked me to deliver a message to the Governor, saying that they wanted to send men, soldiers and horses over, but they did not dare to act rashly without the Governor's consent. As long as  Grand Governor, please give the guilty generals a sure message. If the generals don¡¯t send the message back, they will all act righteously."

    Meng Ju and Mr. Wen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.  When we took in the defeated troops earlier, we knew that the morale of the border troops was low and the troops had no fighting spirit, but unexpectedly it had reached this point, and all the generals at the brigade commander level were thinking of rebelling and surrendering to the enemy.

    But Meng Ju still had a question: if these border generals wanted to surrender.  Wouldn't it be better for them to seek refuge with the Murong family?  After all, the Murong family still had status as an orthodox imperial court, and their territory and strength were far greater than theirs. Why were the border army generals unwilling to defect there?

    Shi Wenting replied: "The Governor inquired, and the guilty general did not dare to hide it: in fact, when the war situation was unfavorable, some brothers surrendered to the court. But we later received the news that none of them had a good ending.

    Brigadier Liu Du was the first to surrender, but soon after he passed there, his troops were devoured, and he died of inexplicable vomiting of blood while eating; General Chen Yusun, when he was attending a banquet, he was attacked by a group of masked men.  He was hacked to death with random knives; and Brigadier Mingyang, we all heard that he disappeared that night. There are rumors that he was killed and his body was thrown into the lake.  .  .  "

    As he spoke, Shi Wenting shuddered. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, no one who goes to the imperial court will end up well. The brothers are all chilled and don't dare to try again."

    "Thisisn't it true? When we surrendered, since we promised to forget the past, is it possible that the imperial court will go back on its word?"

    "This General Sin has also discussed it privately with his close brothers. Everyone feels that the emperor is wise, resolute, and magnanimous, and he will definitely not break his word. It's just that we fought too hard with the court before, so we killed him.  There are many generals in the Jinwu Guard. Although the Emperor promised us to forget the past, the families of those generals in the Jinwu Guard have the same spirit and are close to each other.??How could they let go of this blood feud?

    ?????????????????? And the imperial court is now in the midst of using troops. It is impossible for the emperor to offend the senior generals and elders of the Jinwu Guard for us subordinate generals, so he can only turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want.

    "Compared to the court, the governor's side is much better.  The guilty generals and others have all heard that generals such as Woye Li Chimei, Dongming Yi Xiaodao, Guan Shanhe, and Bai Yubian have defected to the Governor's side. They have all been trusted and reused by the Governor. Not only are they allowed to continue to lead the original troops, but they are also paid even more  It is more generous than before, and it has even been entrusted with important responsibilities.

    The Grand Governor is generous and benevolent, and his faith is clear. The guilty general and all the brothers are sincerely convinced, so they are willing to take great risks to come and take refuge under the Grand Governor's command.  "

    Meng Ju and Mr. Wen looked at each other in astonishment.  Mr. Wen asked again: "Well, General Shi, what kind of conditions and treatment do you want after surrender? Are there any conditions?"

    Shi Wenting's attitude was very humble, and he only said: "The general knows that he has committed a serious crime and dare not make false promises. After surrendering, as long as the governor gives the general a bowl of rice to eat, it doesn't matter what he does - well, of course.  A man like the general in the army has nothing better to do in his life than fighting. If the governor can trust him and allows the general to continue to lead the original troops, the general will be willing to guard the border for the governor, protect the peace of one side, and have a little peace of mind.  This is the best of the sins of the past.¡±

    "I see, we know what the general wants. Please go down and have a rest. How about we discuss it first and then reply to the general?"

    "Yes, the crime will be dismissed."

    Shi Wenting bowed and retreated, but he hesitated for a moment, stood still, and looked at Meng Ju imploringly: "Grand Governor, please forgive me for saying more. This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. Now the vanguard troops and horses are led by the general.  and Brigade Commander Huang Min. Both of us admire the Governor-General and are sincerely willing to surrender. But if the Emperor's uncle arrives, under his prestige, I'm afraid some stubborn and die-hard elements in the army will come out to cause trouble.  , I¡¯m afraid the surrender will be full of twists and turns.¡±

    "How long does it take for Tuoba Xiong to arrive?"

    "The emperor's uncle is commanding the Chinese army, which is only half a day's journey away from us. According to the emperor's order, our vanguard should have camped twenty miles away from the city, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army before the whole division marched together to fight the governor. However,  We disobeyed the order and advanced quickly, rushing directly to the Metropolitan Governor's Army, just to get rid of the control of the Chinese Army. Now, the Chinese Army should have realized that something was wrong - I implore the Metropolitan Governor to sympathize with the general's embarrassment and make a quick decision.  The general and all the soldiers under his command are grateful for the great governor's rebirth."

    When Shi Wenting retreated, Meng Ju looked at Mr. Wen: "Mr. Wen, what do you think? Is General Shi telling the truth or a lie?"

    Mr. Wen pondered, looking at the brilliant campfire in the distance, and said nothing for a long time.

    After a long while, he turned around and said solemnly: "My lord, Brigade Commander Shi's sudden visit is too unexpected. But according to the student's opinion, General Shi must have told the truth, and he did not pretend to surrender."

    "How can I see it?"

    "First, the students had heard General Shi's name in the Marshal's tent in the past. General Shi was a general from Woye, not a direct descendant or confidant of the Marshal. The situation of the frontier army was over, and General Shi surrendered to our army in order to find a way out. This is reasonable and reasonable  of."

    Meng Ju nodded slightly and said nothing, but Wang Hu couldn't help but interjected: "Maybe this is Tuoba Xiong's deliberate deception? He knows that he sent his direct generals to surrender, and we definitely can't believe it, so  Are you going to deliberately send a general from a foreign faction to pretend to surrender, deceive our army into trusting you, and then cooperate with outsiders to sneak attack on our army?"

    Mr. Wen looked at Wang Hu and said with a smile: "General Wang's statement makes some sense, but the student feels that the marshal has no room to use his tactics at this moment."

    "Why?"

    "Now, the end of the frontier army is approaching, and the trend of disintegration has appeared. The generals are disengaged, morale is low, and the soldiers have fled. In just half a month, our Chu Nan Mansion alone has captured more than 3,000 deserters, and even a first-level officer  Some of the officers also became deserters, which is clear evidence of the instability of the border soldiers.

    Under such circumstances, how could the marshal dare to send those already unstable foreign generals to pretend to surrender to us?  Even if he really sends people over - those foreign factions will have double-minded intentions in the future, and if they get this opportunity to break away from control, I am afraid that the false surrender will turn into a real surrender.  If the marshal does this, it will have no effect. It will only lose troops and horses in vain. This is the second reason.  "

    Mr. Wen¡¯s analysis was so clear and logical that Meng Ju couldn¡¯t help but agree: ¡°Sir, what you said is very true. Wang Hu, please don¡¯t make any noise and let Mr. Wen explain it properly. Sir, do you dare to ask if there is another third one?¡±

    Mr. Wen stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The third thing is that this matter was too hasty and unreasonable, so the students thought it was true."

     "What do you mean by this?"

    "The students have been working under the marshal for many years, and they have also figured out a little bit of the marshal's strategic style. If the marshal really wants to make someone surrender, he will do it very carefully, and he will set up the foreshadowing in advance, and it will appear very reasonable.

    For example, if the marshal really wants to fake a surrender, he will send someone to contact you many times in advance. The two parties have gone through many negotiations and agreed on various surrender matters, which seems to be very sincere.

    But like General Shi, who had no prior agreement or said hello, and rushed over blankly and suddenly said that he was surrendering, it was too abrupt, too unexpected, and unacceptable - the marshal judged others by himself, he felt  What you cannot believe, the Governor cannot believe either.  Therefore, sir, I feel that this will not be the marshal's plan to surrender.  "

    Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Well said!"
