At night, in Shouchun, the Qin army camped.
In an ordinary camp of the Right Army that looked inconspicuous, a skinny old man in his fifties with gray beard and hair, wearing a Qin official uniform, was sitting upright on the carpet. Opposite him, Murong Chui was sitting cross-legged, in the brazier.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly, but the old man's eyes were slightly squinted and he said nothing.
Murong Chui smiled slightly and said: "Zhu Shangshu, do you know why the king of heaven wants you to come as an envoy to the Jin army camp this time?"
This skinny old man is Zhu Xu, the former Jin general, Yongzhou governor, and Xiangyang guard. It has been more than a year since he was captured. It seems that he has also gotten rid of the Han dress etiquette in the Jin Dynasty.
He looked more like a pure official of the Qin Dynasty. He looked calm and said slowly: "Probably because I still have some unresolved fate with the Jin Kingdom, and I need to settle it."
Murong Chui curled up his lips: "If Zhu Shangshu thinks this is fate, then so be it. Murong Chui is here today because my subordinates, Murong Chui, will become Zhu Shangshu's deputy envoys and will go to Jin with you.
Therefore, before you set off, I think it is better to be united and estimate the difficulties."
Zhu Xu opened his eyes and looked at Murong Lan who was standing behind Murong Chui in the corner of the tent. He looked up and down and nodded: "She is indeed a woman from the Murong family. Not only does she have a stunning appearance, but she also has a beautiful face."
He is as heroic as a man. No wonder even Liu Yu, who is said to be extremely brave and resourceful, fell at the hands of this girl Murong."
Murong Lan shook his head: "Liu Yu's failure is inevitable. He defended the isolated city alone with no one to rescue him, and he was hated by the generals in the city. Even if I didn't take action, the Qin army would forcefully attack and there would be no reinforcements outside Shoucheng.
, there is a tunnel inside, and it is impossible to defend it. Zhu Shangshu, I have nothing to feel sorry for Liu Yu, it’s just that everyone is their own master and their responsibilities lie."
Zhu Xu said coldly: "Yes, each is his own master. Now I, Zhu Xu, am the Minister of Duzhi of the Qin State. I have a high and powerful position. The king of heaven has been as kind to me as a mountain. This time I went to the Jin camp, and he was even more grateful to me."
I have the trust of Xu, so I will definitely complete my mission, and there is no need for General Murong to remind me of this."
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "Oh, so, does Zhu Shangshu know what to say?"
Zhu Xu nodded: "Of course I want to tell the generals of the Jin army about the great power of the Qin Dynasty, especially to Xie Xuan. I want to know the advantages and disadvantages. Now they are absolutely passive on the battlefield. They are in a dilemma. If they continue to resist,
If so, once the Beifu Army is wiped out, there will be no capital for negotiation. What the Xie family wants is the wealth of the family. It makes no difference whether the Sima family becomes the emperor or becomes a minister of the Qin Dynasty. I think it is not difficult for Xie Xuan to make a decision.
Selected."
Murong Chui smiled and said: "Zhu Shangshu is indeed a talented man who knows current affairs. In fact, I, Murong Chui, like you, was not from the Qin State at that time. I was an official in a foreign country. I came to the Qin Dynasty by chance. After entering the Qin Dynasty, I suffered
The King of Heaven is kind and generous. We must not be ignorant of our conscience and be ungrateful. Now in Qin, our life is much better than in the original country. Naturally, we must be loyal to the Qin Dynasty. If you see Xie Xuan, you can also tell him
, if he is willing to switch sides and surrender, he will definitely not lose his position as king and become a hero in the founding of the country."
A cold light flashed in Zhu Xu's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Thank you, General Murong, for reminding me. I will definitely tell Xie Xuan when I see him. Speaking of which, Xie Xuan and I have been friends for many years, so he should be kind to me."
If so, you should consider it.”
Murong Chui laughed: "If he still has any luck, Zhu Shangshu can tell him clearly that the 300,000 troops on the front line of Da Qin are just the vanguard. Hundreds of thousands of troops are still gathering from various places, and the King of Heaven
They are about to lead a large army personally as backup. They can't even defeat the 300,000 vanguard of our army in the Shouchun area. It is better to surrender as soon as possible to avoid the destruction of the soldiers and people of both armies."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Xu's eyes: "The King of Heaven himself is coming too?"
Murong Chui smiled and nodded: "Yes, I, Murong Chui, came from Xiangcheng, and I followed the decree of the King of Heaven. Originally, the King of Heaven was planning to wait for all armies to gather in Xiangcheng, and then come here in person, but now
The situation on the battlefield has changed. Shouchun City, regarded as a fortress by the Jin State, has been quickly captured, and the Beifu Army has also marched out of Shouchun and been attracted here. Therefore, the King of Heaven decided to personally conquer and destroy it.
This Jin Kingdom’s most elite force will determine the world in one battle!”
Zhu Xu softly said "Oh", raised a small cup in front of him, with black tea soup boiling in it, and took a sip of it, thoughtfully.
Murong Chui also picked up the tea bowl in front of him, sniffed it, put it down again, and said with a smile: "I still can't get used to drinking tea from the south. I don't know what's so good about this astringent and bitter thing.
It can make the children of aristocratic families and generals like Zhu Shangshu enjoy it endlessly."
Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "Maybe this is the taste of my hometown. Just like General Murong likes to drink yogurt, I have been in Qin for more than a year and I can't get used to it either."
Murong Chui laughed: "It's human nature to be nostalgic for our hometown. When the world is unified and there will be no differences, maybe we will fall in love with the same drink."
Zhu Xu nodded: "Then it all depends on the King of Heaven's actions this time. If the Jin people are wise, they should surrender early to avoid the loss of life. When the north and the south are unified, the people of the world will no longer suffer from separation, and the customs will also be
Isn't it a beautiful thing to slowly become one?"
Murong Chui smiled and said: "Then it all depends on Zhu Shangshu's sharp tongue. I will leave the negotiations with Xie Xuan and others to you, and my Murong Lan also has some old acquaintances in the Beifu Army.
, after your mission, Murong Lan can take the opportunity to spread rumors in the army, so that the middle and lower-level sergeants of the Jin army will know the strength of our Great Qin army."
Zhu Xu glanced at Murong Lan and shook his head: "After all, Xie Xuan and I have an old relationship, and since the Jin Dynasty moved south, there has been no precedent of killing northern envoys, so my safety is not a problem, but Miss Murong
, I have just betrayed the entire city's garrison in Shouchun City, and this time I go to the Jin camp again as a deputy envoy to spread rumors. Is it dangerous?"
Murong Chui smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. At this time, the Jin army is in a difficult situation. No matter who it is, they will leave a way out for themselves and will not do anything wrong. Besides, Alan is very alert when encountering trouble.
I will not act reluctantly. When I go to the Jin camp this time, I will spread rumors if I have the opportunity. If I don't have the opportunity, I will take the opportunity to observe the strength and movements of the Jin army. I will not put myself in a disadvantageous situation."
Zhu Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Then there will be Miss Lao Murong this time. I hope we can succeed together this time."
Murong Lan smiled slightly, raised her hands and saluted, "It's a great honor for the juniors to have the opportunity to learn from the seniors!"
