Chapter 335 Please surrender

On this day, Zhang Yue was processing various documents sent from Luntai.

At this time, Wu Zheng suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ma has sent someone to report that Yu Cheng, the palace minister, wants to see you!"

Zhang Yue temporarily put down the documents in his hands and thought carefully about King Yu Cheng's intentions.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Yue turned back to Wu Zhengdao:

"Tell Ma Han to send people to Ershi City first!"

Wu Zheng agreed and immediately went down to handle the matter.

…

After receiving Zhang Yue's reply, Ma Han first arranged for Palace Minister Yu Cheng to stay in the camp for one night.

Early the next morning, he was sent to Ershi City.

During this period, Palace Minister Yu Cheng made a request to enter Yu Cheng Ranch Castle to meet Zhili, but Ma Han bluntly refused.

Zhengli in the castle saw a group of people under the banner of King Yu Cheng entering the Han army camp, and thought that the Han army would retreat soon.

He had thought that not only did the Han army not retreat, but even Yu Cheng's arrival did not contact him.

When he saw Yu Chenggong Xiang fading away in the castle, he felt extremely depressed.

As the commander-in-chief's performance is like this, the situation of the soldiers below will only be worse.

At noon that day, several centurions found their strength.

"General, it seems that we have been abandoned by the king!"

A centurion said in frustration.

Another centurion also complained, "Your Highness seems to be still afraid of the Han army and dare not really go against the Han!"

If it had been in the past, Zhili would have been punished if he heard such comments from his subordinates.

But today he just remained silent. In fact, this was what he was thinking in his heart at this time.

Zhili remained silent, allowing his centurions to guess his thoughts.

A centurion said bluntly, "General, why don't you just surrender?"

Zhili was shocked when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Surrender?"

A centurion said: "We are also Cypriots. Speaking of which, the place where our ancestors lived can be regarded as the land of the Han..."

Another centurion also said: "Yes, General, according to the consistent style of the Han army, if we Cypriots surrender voluntarily, not only will we not become slaves, but if we perform well, we may even be registered as Han people!"

Another centurion next to him also said: "Yes, General, if the Han army makes the people live together, then we will all be noble Han people..."

With the persuasion of several subordinates, Zhili gradually became excited.

Especially when he heard that the people in the household had become Han Chinese, he couldn't help but think of what he had seen and heard in Guishan City in the past.

He is also a general in Yucheng, and can be regarded as a middle-level nobleman in Dawan Kingdom.

But when he attended the banquet held by the King of Dawan, he was not even qualified to sit down.

But even an ordinary Han businessman is treated as a distinguished guest in Dawan.

And as far as he knew, this was not only the case in Dayuan, but also in Kangju, Daxia, Yuezhi, and even Anxi, the Han people had a lofty status.

If you can really become a Han Chinese, it is actually a good choice.

"What do you think, General?"

Seeing that Zhili remained silent, several centurions asked again.

Hearing this, Zhili finally spoke this time, "It's not impossible to surrender to the Han army, but who among you is willing to go to the Han army's camp?"

Several centurions looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally a young centurion named Luo Song stood up.

"General, I, Luo Song, am willing to go to the Han army camp to discuss surrender!"

Zhili's face showed hesitation, and after a while he said:

"That's fine, but you need to remember that the condition for our surrender is to become Han Chinese. As long as the Han army agrees to this, we will leave the city and surrender immediately!"

Luo Song said, "Don't worry, general, I'll remember it!"

Zhili nodded when he heard this. "In this case, I leave this matter to you!"

…

"What, Zhili sent someone to discuss surrender?" Mahan said in surprise.

He did not expect that he had just sent away Yu Chenggong Prime Minister in the morning, and sent someone to ask for his surrender in the afternoon.

He thought for a moment and said, "Someone go and invite Zhang Sima!"

…

"Ma Gong, why are you calling me?" Zhang Zhan hurried back about two quarters of an hour later.

Mahan did not rush to talk about Zhili's surrender, but first asked, "How is the transportation of the horses?"

Zhang Zhan said with a smile on his face, "It's almost done. I think we can send them all away tomorrow!"

Ma Han nodded with satisfaction, and then he said, "Zhili just sent someone to ask for surrender. What does Zhang Sima think?"

Zhang Zhan said in surprise, "Please surrender?"

He thought for a moment and said, "How about meeting the people sent by Zhili first!"

Mahan nodded and said, "That's what I mean..."

After the two discussed it, they sent someone to call Luo Song over.

"Are you the person sent by Zhili?" Mahan looked at the person.

Upon hearing this, Luo Song bowed respectfully, "This servant is Centurion Luo Song of Yucheng. He was entrusted by General Zhili to discuss surrender with the Han Dynasty?"

The translator stood by and translated his words completely.

Zhang Zhan nodded and said, "You are nothing more than a centurion, how can you represent strength?"

Luo Song paid his respects, "For Duke Zhang, although I am only a centurion, my family has been a noble family for generations..."

Luo Song used standard Chinese this time.

Zhang Zhan looked at Luo Song in surprise, "You actually know someone... Your Chinese words are quite good!"

Luo Song said at this time, "I have reported to Duke Zhang that I have been studying at Luntai Academy for two years. I also met Duke Zhang when the prince came to the academy to give lectures!"

Zhang Zhan and Ma Han both had a good impression of Luo Song after hearing this.

Zhang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I see,... on what terms does Zhili want to surrender?"

Luo Song paid his respects, "General Zhili hopes that the Han Dynasty will be able to organize households and unite the people!"

Ma Han and Zhang Zhan looked at each other and said, "This is the only requirement for persistence, but are there others?"

Luo Song said, "General Zhili hopes that the big man can ensure the safety of his family!"

Mahan nodded, "Well, let's go down and rest first. I'll let you know later!"

Luo Song bowed: "Thank you so much, Mr. Magong!"

…

After Luo Song left, Ma Han said to Zhang Zhan: "Does Zhang Sima think it's possible?"

Zhang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I think it's feasible. Although this person is not good at fighting, I can see that this pasture is well managed. If he surrenders, it will also be of great help to the Second Master City!"

"But you don't have to completely agree to Zhili's request...it's better to implement it according to the standards set by the monarch in the past!"

Ma Han nodded when he heard the words, "What Zhang Sima said is true. If you don't know Chinese characters and don't know Chinese, it will be useless..."

Zhang Zhan said, "This is exactly the case. This is also the reason why the monarchs were required to know 500 Chinese characters before they could enter China..."

After some discussion, the two did not meet Luo Song again, but directly sent someone to tell Luo Song the conditions of the Han army.

Luo Song received the replies from Mahan and Zhang Zhan, thought about it, and quickly returned to the castle.

"This is the Han army's reply!"

Luo Song informed Zhili of the replies from Mahan and Zhang Zhan.

After discussing with several centurions, Zhili finally made the decision to surrender.
