Daliang soldiers and horses set up camp ten miles outside Weisheng City, and Guan Sheng's former army retreated a few miles, not because they were afraid of the soldiers and horses from Hedong, but because they wanted to be close to a small river to facilitate the camp's water intake.
In fact, when we get here, the mountains surrounding the mountain are no longer there. The surrounding area is high and the middle is flat. Therefore, after the night attack captured Xiangyuan, Chao Yong did not let the army rest for a day. Instead, he quickly approached while Tian Hu did not react, and passed through the mountainous area before Tian Hu sent troops to intercept.
Soldiers are valuable and quick, Chao Yong has been practicing this in his use of troops.
When they arrived outside Wei Shengjun City, the battle was no longer suspenseful. They were just waiting to defeat the Hedong soldiers and horses in a decisive battle and kill or capture Tian Hu. Unless Tian Hu is willing to give up his home base of Wei Sheng and flee to other state capitals, there will be thousands of mountains surrounding him that will cause trouble for Daliang soldiers and horses. However, Chao Yong did not think that Tian Hu would flee in despair when his troops were superior. While that's the smartest choice, not everyone is so decisive.
As soon as the camp was set up, a group of Hedong envoys came outside the camp.
Fang Xuedu was not stopped outside the camp waiting for the report. When he was several miles outside the camp, he asked Daliang Tanma to report the news of the envoy.
Chao Yong did not send anyone to greet him, nor did he let the soldiers guarding the gate pretend to be ignorant and stop Fang Xuedu.
Fang Xuedu was led by the centurion guarding the gate to the outside of the Chinese army's tent.
The soldier guarding the big tent said: "The prince has an order, please come in when the envoy from Hedong arrives."
Fang Xuedu was also confused by Chao Yong's behavior. He neither showed any caution towards him nor made things difficult for him.
In the big account, Chao Yong is sitting behind the commander's desk. On the left are Shi Wengong, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, and Qin Ming. On the right are Wu Song, Zhang Qing, Qiong Ying, and Li Kui.
Fang Xuedu entered the big tent and bowed, saying, "Fang Xuedu, the Taiwei of the Jin Kingdom, has met the Prince of Liang."
Chao Yong did not refute Fang Xuedu¡¯s statement about the Jin state. He nodded and said, "Seek surrender or a decisive battle?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuedu couldn't help but blush. He came here to ask for surrender, but these two words are always a bit shameful.
"I am here to negotiate peace with the prince on the orders of my great king."
"Ha ha"
"Ha ha"
Chao Yong couldn't help but laugh, and all the generals in the tent were also amused by Fang Xuedu.
Fang Xuedu was laughed at by everyone, and his expression changed, but in the end he did not dare to say anything harsh, let alone walk away.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "In this day and age, what qualifications do you have to negotiate peace? If you can't decide whether to fight or surrender, you can go back and report to Tian Hu."
Fang Xuedu saw that Prince Daliang didn¡¯t want to make detours with him, and he didn¡¯t want to go in vain. Ten miles is not a long journey, but it takes nearly an hour to go back and forth, and there are still cases where horses are required to travel instead.
Not wanting to go back and forth, and knowing that Prince Daliang already regarded the power as his own, Fang Xuedu completely put down his arrogance and said humbly: "Prince Daliang is invincible, and my king has also learned the power of the prince, so I was sent to negotiate a peace. I don¡¯t know what the prince wants. Please give me your instructions.¡±
"Brother Tian Hu will be killed without pardon if he harms one side. As long as the rest surrender before Daliang attacks the city and the talented ones continue to be employed, they will be exempted from the heinous death penalty but will not be able to escape the crime of living. All the soldiers and horses from Hedong will be disarmed and return to the fields."
Chao Yong didn¡¯t take Tian Hu seriously in the first place, and he only wanted to save some trouble when meeting Fang Xuedu, so naturally he would not make any concessions.
Fang Xuedu was stunned when he heard that Chao Yong wanted to kill Brother Tian Hu, but he was relieved when he heard that Chao Yong was willing to forgive other people's sins. Although he served as a lieutenant under Tian Hu and did some things to bully others, he did not do anything extremely sinful, so he expected to escape punishment from Daliang.
As for the fact that all the Hedong soldiers and horses were disarmed and returned to their fields, it had nothing to do with him. Now that we are in such a situation, we are lucky to be able to save our lives. Even if Daliang retains some of the troops from Hedong, he will never let them lead them. In this case, whether to stay or not has nothing to do with them.
However, Fang Xuedu was still confused: "If we don't forgive my king, I'm afraid we won't be able to take the lead."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Brother Tian Hu is only two people, but there are more than 100,000 people in the city. If you are all willing to accompany him to death, my soldiers will not mind beheading more people."
Chao Yong¡¯s intention was to cause civil unrest in the city, and he did not hide this.
The troops of Daliang are approaching the city, and the end of Jin has come. Chao Yong has this confidence, but few people in Jin still think they can defeat Daliang.
Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes, not to mention the various people gathered by Tian Hu. More than a hundred years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were not many people willing to be buried with the Song Dynasty. The Jin Kingdom has been established for less than half a year, and not many people will be loyal to it.
Fang Xuedu will not accompany Tian Hu to escape to Liao Kingdom, let alone die with Tian Hu.
Seeing how tough the prince of Daliang was, he simply handed over his hand and said: "The prince is wise. People in Weisheng City are already panicked. Even Tian Hu has lost confidence. Only Tian Bao still tries to resist the heavenly soldiers. The villain is incompetent and is willing to submit to Daliang. Send the prince's message back to Wei Sheng."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes. But I'm afraid Tian Hu will block the news. I will send someone to write a document and shoot it into the city. If you can secretly contact some generals to surrender or dedicate the city, the court will not No reward."
Fang Xuedu thought for a while and said: "After Ye Qing presented Xiangyuan, Tian Hu was wary of his soldiers. Now the people guarding the city are Tian Hu's confidants, and contacting them rashly may leak the news. They guard the city gate, and other soldiers and horses are strictly prohibited. Leaving the camp without permission will have some difficulty in contacting other generals to surrender. "
Qin Mingdao: "You just said that Wei Sheng's people are in panic, and then you said that you can't surrender. Then what use do I have for you in Daliang? You might as well send your troops to break Wei Sheng and kill them."
Li Kui nodded and said: "Qin Ming is talking about blowing up the city wall. I will be the first to rush in. What's the use of these birdmen?"
Fang Xuedu heard what the two said and said hurriedly: "Now that Weisheng's troops are not mobilized, we have no chance. But I can contact some generals who are good friends. When you attack the city, Tian Hu will definitely mobilize his troops." , then we can seize the city and surrender."
Li Kui said: "Blow through the city wall, and I can win the victory with just two axes."
Fang Xuedu and the others acted as internal agents, which meant they could reduce casualties for Daliang soldiers and horses, but Li Kui said that he could defeat Wei Sheng by himself.
Fang Xuedu was a little stunned when he heard Li Kui's arrogance.
No one in the tent would take Li Kui's words seriously, but Fang Xuedu couldn't say that Li Kui was going to die, and they could save Li Kui's life. In fact, if Li Kui attacked the city alone, they would not be able to save Li Kui, because before they arrived, Li Kui had already been cut into pieces with knives or pierced by arrows. The most they could do was collect Li Kui's body.
However, Chao Yong did not embarrass Fang Xuedu and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go back. Today I will have people shoot the documents into the city. I will attack the city tomorrow, and then it will be up to you."
