"Now the enemy chieftain and the imperial court cannot come to an agreement because the asking price is too high. Let alone independence, even if he is granted the title of Southwest King, it exceeds the imperial court's bottom line."
"But the enemy chief's price is so high, what about the 170 villages below the enemy chief that have already suffered heavy losses?"
"And there is no need to surrender all of them, just one-third. After the war, not only must one be killed to serve as a warning to others, but the die-hards must be implicated. Otherwise, how can we serve as a warning to those who come after us?"
"Moreover, those who don't kill must be appeased. There are traitors and non-rebels. There are many contradictions. The government can divide and rule."
"If all of them are reduced, it will be difficult to deal with."
Before Su Ziji finished speaking, Inspector Zhao was already enlightened and understood everything.
Until now, I don’t know how many copycat men have died. The enemy chief is riding a tiger and it’s hard to get off. If he can’t fight for the title of King of the Southwest, once his anger dissipates, the backlash from his copycats will come, and they will definitely die without a burial place.<
/p>
It's all death, why not hold on, maybe there will be a turn for the better.
But there is no need for this for the 170th Village that suffered heavy losses. At this point, most of the villagers just want to go back to the past, and the asking price is already as low as it can be.
If we bypass the enemy chiefs and contact each village owner, as long as they are allowed to be safe or given an official position, I am afraid that many strongholds that can no longer resist will immediately surrender.
The enemy chief described it well as "at the end of a strong crossbow". Once his followers dispersed, he would be dead, and he would not be able to fight even if he wanted to.
As for the last two sentences, the treatment of full surrender and partial surrender is more focused on peace, not just military affairs.
These few sentences by Su Ziji are insightful and insightful, as if the general trend is in his heart.
Inspector Zhao was in the military camp when he first entered the palace (castration). He had seen this look once before. Taizu was under the torch. Although he was unlucky for the moment and was heavily surrounded by enemy troops, he remained calm, pacing back and forth, talking about important matters.
, with a heart that is sure to win, it can be said that one can swallow mountains and rivers like a dragon.
If you are not worthy of Jinshang, you are not worthy of the crown prince, but even more worthy of the great ancestor.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Su Ziji secretly regretted that he had spoken too bluntly and too profoundly, and was thinking about trying to make things right. Supervisor Zhao had come to his senses, and bowed to Su Ziji and said, "I have really learned a lesson. I have such a positive strategy."
, no matter how difficult it is for the enemy chieftain to survive, the southwest can be quickly leveled."
"I don't want you to have a strategy and be good at war." After being overjoyed, Supervisor Zhao thought for a long time before speaking again.
He looked at Su Ziji, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Although these emotions were quickly suppressed, it might make a chief eunuch lose his temper like this in front of him. It can be seen that Su Ziji's identity, talent and behavior are all mixed together.
Together, what an impact it will have.
"Eunuch, Mr. Cui is an imperial envoy after all. If you want to make a difference, it's better to communicate with him." Su Ziji bowed again.
"Okay, I will discuss this strategy with Mr. Cui and the generals in the army."
Due to the excitement, he even called himself "my family" unconsciously from "our family" to "me". As for why he didn't use Su Zi's own name, there is no need to ask, it is basic common sense in official circles.
After saying that, the big ship we were on was about to reach the shore.
Looking at the figure who could already see some black spots, Inspector Zhao said to Su Ziji: "We are almost docking. Master, go back and take care of these things first. Our family will look back on these matters. If there is any follow-up, we will come back to you."<
/p>
Su Ziji responded, turned around, walked to the side of the ship, and jumped back into his own ship. Until he entered the cabin, he could feel the feeling of being watched all the time.
"Eunuch Zhao is a close confidant of the emperor, but he seems to have a very complicated view of me. He is loyal to the emperor, so he respects and fears me, the so-called former prince's bloodline, but he also has something more complicated... Could it be that he once had a relationship with the prince?
Have you ever been involved?"
"No, that's really the case. The emperor will not allow him to live until now. Even if he has received favors, they are probably small favors and nothing. Or it may be that people of this era have a natural attitude towards orthodoxy."
The more such a so-called loyal servant is, before the prince falls, his treatment of the prince and the prince will probably be subtly different.
"So, it is not certain whether he is an enemy or a friend at the moment. But until the emperor does not plan to attack me, at least he is still a friendly army. We can treat him with caution and make use of him when appropriate."
"Hmph, Supervisor Zhao may think that I am the overall concern, but big things have to be done, and personal grudges are also indispensable. Qin Fengliang and Qian Zhidong both have to pay a price, no less."
"Don't fight for ten years, just fight for the day and night."
"The day I return to Beijing will be the day when Qian Zhidong dies. As for Qin Fengliang, well, let's wait and see!" Thinking of this, Su Ziji had already packed up his gifts.
When I boarded the ship, I only brought one package with me. You were not allowed to buy anything at sea. Apart from the books I borrowed from Cui Zhaoquan, I had nothing else. Therefore, when I got off the ship, I still only carried one package.
He couldn't take the little fox with him, so he once again entrusted it to the care of the wild Taoist. After all, when he got off the ship, he had to follow the imperial envoy, and there would be a lot of eyes around him. It was inconvenient to bring a little fox, and the wild Taoist and the little fox were the same.
It will be much more convenient to go into darkness and meet again when you want.
"We finally arrived." Su Ziji said softly, standing side by side with the wild Taoist on the deck and looking at the gradually clearer scenery on the shore.
"Young master, the people in the southwest are already welcoming the imperial envoy. It looks very grand. I'm afraid they will welcome you again later. I'll wait until I find a place to settle down before I go see you." The wild Taoist thought the same as Su Ziji.
He picked up the little fox and said.
Although the little fox was a little repelled, thinking back to what it did after eating golden olives and getting drunk, it suddenly became a little timid and tolerated it.
This kind of commotion in front of everyone is just causing trouble for Su Ziji.
Seeing the unhappy look of the little fox, Su Ziji felt itchy and poked its nose again. When it glared at it, he warned: "When you get to the shore, don't rush to find your fox friends first. Wait for me."
Do you know the news?"
"Chirp." The little fox responded lazily.
Su Ziji shook his head helplessly, and the official ship he was on finally docked.
As soon as I got up, I heard drums and music playing softly, and I stood up straight. In front, the soldiers on the imperial mission's ship stood on both sides with their swords drawn. Not to mention, there were soldiers lined up on the shore, with flags and flags, and they were solemn.
Majestic.
At first glance, there are several military generals standing in the front like Heita, all of them are generals of the third and fourth ranks, followed by a row of civil servants, all of them are county magistrates of the fifth and sixth ranks.
In a moment, three cannons were fired. Cui Zhaoquan and Supervisor Zhao said nothing, and they got off the boat one after another. All the generals and civil servants knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I respectfully greet you!"<
/p>
"Holy Holy Gong!"
Cui Zhaoquan said that this was a ceremony for Dai Tian (the emperor), and then he looked a little more relaxed, but glanced away and turned cold again.
