"surrender?"

Hearing the news, Zhuge Liang was very interested. He smiled and said: "Don't you, the Song Kingdom, still have hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops? You still have the strength to fight with our army, how could you think of surrendering?"

Xue Ben pretended to be embarrassed, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Prime Minister, you are a rare wise man in the world. Do you think that with the strength of our Song State, we can defeat your Wei State? Even this time, while you are the

We were tired and we got the victory by luck, but what about next time?

When your Wei State calms down this momentum, will you lead millions of people to attack our Song State again? Otherwise, will it be self-destruction? It's just a matter of time."

Zhuge Liang remained calm, stroking his beard and said: "Tell me what your Emperor of Song wants? How does he want to surrender?"

Since the Emperor of Song Dynasty sent a special person to secretly discuss the surrender, it means that the Emperor of Song Dynasty did not want to surrender so easily.

He may need some chips or benefits.

Of course, this is also human nature.

After all, after being demoted from the position of emperor to a prince, or even worse than a prince, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty must have wanted to gain some benefits for himself for the rest of his life.

Otherwise, if you surrender easily and end up with nothing, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

When Xue Ben heard what he said, he immediately smiled and said: "Prime Minister, you are still very discerning. Yes, my Majesty said, give some silver, a throne, a fief, preferably someone who can be hereditary and replaceable."

Well, Your Majesty, he will surrender when your troops reach the capital."

The first few things were fine.

If the Emperor of the Song Dynasty really wanted to surrender, it wouldn't be a problem to give him any benefit compared to saving the soldiers from a military disaster.

If he surrenders, His Majesty also intends to make him king.

only......

"Why did your emperor wait until our army attacked your capital before surrendering?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Xue Ben said helplessly: "Prime Minister, if this is the case, my Majesty will not be scolded in the spine by the people, right? In the future, the history books will be more pleasant, and it will not be said that Nuoda, a Song Dynasty, did not even resist.

If you resist, the country will be given to you."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I see, it's just that the matter is serious and I still have to discuss it with Your Majesty. Otherwise, why don't you wait here?"

Xue Ben cupped his fists and said, "It should be so. No matter how late it is, I will wait for the prime minister's good news."

Zhuge Liang shook his head, stood up and left his residence.

At present, the leading 300,000-strong army has already sent out troops to attack the city and evict the stronghold.

The subsequent troops will march gradually.

At this time, Zhao Changqing was staying at his residence in the border town.

Zhuge Liang came here and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have already met the Song envoy."

"how?"

Zhao Changqing was looking at a scroll of bamboo slips. When he heard Zhuge Liang's voice, he immediately became interested and put the bamboo slips aside.

Zhuge Liang conveyed all Xue Ben's intentions to the emperor word for word.

Hear the sound.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "It seems that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty still keeps his promise. In this case, I will agree to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty's request. However, if we attack the capital along the way, I am afraid that our army will cause a lot of damage.

Casualties."

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, according to the tone of the Song envoy, it seems that the cities and counties along the way will not really hinder our army from attacking the city, but will open the door to our army."

"Didn't Bai Qi already lead an army of 300,000 to attack the city?"

After a pause, Zhao Changqing stood up and said: "Then let's wait for the news from Bai Qi to see if what the Song Emperor said is true or false. If it is false, there is no need for him to surrender. We will go directly to the Song capital and kill the Song emperor.

The royal family, behead them all to avoid laying some seeds of trouble in the future."

Zhuge Liang nodded, "No!"

The Song Dynasty is just a small country, so there is no need to treat it in such a painful way.

If they obey, that's fine. If they don't, then just beat them until they obey.

After Zhuge Liang returned to his residence, he also wanted to convey the wishes of the Wei Emperor to Xue Bi.

Xue Ben was worried and hurriedly resigned and returned to the capital of Song Dynasty.

A few days later, news came from Bai Qi that the Song army was scared out of their wits and attacked cities and villages wherever they passed, as if they were walking on flat ground.

After Zhao Changqing learned the news, Long Yan was overjoyed and immediately rewarded the three armies.

It seems.

The Emperor of Song was right, he indeed issued orders to all the soldiers.

But, is this really the case?

Perhaps many generals received imperial orders and were not allowed to resist.

However, there were still a large group of generals who were really afraid of confronting the Wei army and fled away.

There are definitely not a few such people.

Many of these people were ministers in the court who suggested fighting to the end, and then they were sent to the front lines by the Emperor of Song Dynasty, with good names and important tasks.

However, these have little to do with Zhao Changqing.

What he focuses on has always been results.

The vanguard troops were invincible, so Zhao Changqing no longer wanted to stay in the border town and immediately ordered all the troops to catch up with Bai Qi's troops.

Bai Qi's 300,000 troops almost defeated a country.

His achievements were greatly praised in later generations.

Of course, it is a very cool thing in itself.

After two months, we finally arrived at the capital of Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Bai Qi and Zhao Changqing had just reunited with the soldiers.

Taking advantage of the current military situation, Bai Qi asked the emperor for orders to attack the city.

At this moment, they were sitting around the tent.

Zhao Changqing smiled when he heard Bai Qi's voice and looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully.

The latter naturally understood his intention, waved his feather fan lightly, and said: "General Bai Qi, I'm afraid that we don't need to attack this capital city."

"No need?"

The domineering Bai Qi said: "Prime Minister, do you mean that the Song Dynasty intends to surrender?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Yes, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty intends to surrender, but the ministers of the Song Dynasty may be a little obstructive. However, now that the army is approaching the city, it is expected that the Song ministers will not dare to make any announcement."

Bai Qi said: "According to what the Prime Minister said, we only need to send a tough envoy to the capital of the Song Dynasty to persuade them to surrender. The Song Dynasty will surrender?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said: "The general is right, but I don't know who should be sent as the envoy now. Does the general have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Bai Qi frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

To be an envoy, the first thing you need to do is to be eloquent, right?

These generals under his command can fight well, but let them serve as envoys?

This is making things difficult for others!

Zhao Changqing inspected the officers and soldiers in the account and was thinking about candidates. Finally, he set his sights on Bai Qi and said, "How about you go and run to the capital of the Song Dynasty for me and capture the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Bai Qi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the task is too heavy, the general is stupid, how can he get there? Even if the prime minister is asked to go, we can't let the general go!"

Zhuge Liang understood the emperor's meaning in an instant, "General Bai Qi, please be patient. Your Majesty means that I, a weak civil servant, will naturally be inferior to you, a general full of majesty."
