"General Bai, Lieutenant Yunqi, did you persuade Zhao Kefeng to persuade the rest of the Zhao family to surrender?" After a while of polite remarks, Lin Qishan turned to the topic.
"After persuading him, Zhao Kefeng was worried that after the Zhao family surrendered, the emperor would be in trouble with the Zhao family and his life would be in danger, so he refused to agree to anything." Bai Ruoxi stepped forward and bowed.
Lin Qishan was not surprised by the expected answer and turned to the next topic: "So, do you have any next plan now?"
"I have discussed this with Lieutenant Yunqi," Bai Ruoxi looked at Yun Jingchu, and then continued, "We are going to wait for work and see how the other party reacts first, and then respond. After all, both Yu Wendong and Zhao Kefeng
In our hands, the Zhao family will not fail to take action."
"So, do other people have any opinions?" Lin Qishan looked at the other generals.
"The last general heard that the reason why General Bai and Yun Qiwei won before was because Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin were in their hands as hostages. Therefore, the last general suggested that the same method can be used to force the Zhao family to surrender. If you wait
The Zhao family has come up with a better countermeasure, and it will be too late for us to act." A bearded man stood up and said in a loud voice.
"No, this method can be used one at a time, but not three. The Zhao family has suffered losses twice because of the hostages, so it is impossible for them to suffer losses a third time. If pressed, they might counterattack regardless of the safety of the hostages." Another person said.
The white-faced general shook his head and retorted.
"How can we know if we don't try it? After all, this way we will suffer the least loss."
"I think it's better for us to think of a better way instead of blindly repeating the previous methods..."
As a result, everyone began to argue.
Lin Qishan frowned and listened to everyone's opinions. Finally, after almost everyone had expressed their opinions, he looked at Yun Jingchu, who had been silent, and said, "Yun Qiwei, what's your opinion?"
"My opinion has been expressed by General Bai just now. We are going to wait for the other party to take action first and then respond." Yun Jingchu said calmly.
"Okay. Just listen to Lieutenant Yunqi and General Bai. Let's wait for five days. After five days, if there is no movement from the Zhao family, we will take the initiative." Lin Qishan made a final decision.
Therefore, everyone waited quietly in Luoding City for any news from the Zhao family. There was basically nothing else to do except training soldiers on weekdays.
Bai Ruoxi, Yun Jingxi and Yun Jingyan did one more thing than others, which was to persuade the prisoners to surrender and let them be used for their own use. Because there was an unwritten convention in Dayuan, that is, whoever captures the prisoners will belong to whom in the future.
lead.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin Qishan summoned everyone to the meeting hall again.
"I received a letter from Zhao Junshan. He asked me to negotiate and agreed on a time and place with us." Lin Qishan said straight to the point.
Zhao Junshan is naturally the former Protector of the Country and the father of Zhao Kefeng.
Everyone looked at each other with a look of excitement on their faces.
"Marshal, it seems that we have a chance of persuading the Zhao family to surrender." Someone said excitedly.
"It can't be so smooth. I think Zhao Junshan wants to exchange some benefits for Yu Wendong and Zhao Kefeng, and he can't agree to surrender easily." Someone calmly poured cold water on them.
"Why is it impossible? Isn't it obvious? They couldn't defeat us before. Now, they have important hostages in our hands and have lost many soldiers. It is even more impossible to defeat us. Surrendering is the best option.
