fake prince

Chapter 253
"Now the enemy chieftain and the imperial court can't agree on an agreement, because the asking price is too high, let alone independence, even if he is named the Southwest King, it is beyond the imperial court's bottom line."

"But the enemy chieftain's asking price is so high, what about the 170 villages under the enemy chieftain that have suffered heavy losses?"

"And you don't need to recruit all of them, only one-third of them are enough. After the war, not only will you have to kill one to warn others, but the die-hard ones will be implicated. Otherwise, how can you warn the latecomers?"

"Moreover, those who do not kill must be appeased. There are traitors and non-rebels. There are many contradictions. The government can divide and rule."

"If it's all down, it's not easy to deal with."

Before Su Ziji could finish his words, Supervisor Zhao was already enlightened and understood everything.

So far, I don’t know how many copycats have died. The enemy chieftain is hard to get down. If he can’t fight for the title of Southwest King, if he loses his temper, the counterattack of his subordinates will come, and they will die without a place to die.

They are all dead, why not hang on, maybe there will be a turning point.

But for the 170 villages that suffered heavy losses, there is no need for this. At this point, most of the cottages just want to go back to the past, and the asking price is already too low to be lower.

If you bypass the enemy chieftains and get in touch with the various village owners, as long as you promise to be safe, or add an official position, I am afraid that many villages that have been unable to resist will immediately turn against the water.

The enemy chief described it well, that is, the four words "the end of the crossbow". Once his men's strongholds are scattered, he will die, and he can't even fight if he wants to.

As for the last two sentences, the treatment of full surrender and partial surrender focuses on peace, not just military affairs.

These few words of Su Ziji are penetrating and penetrating, as if the general trend is in his heart.

Superintendent Zhao was in the military camp and just entered the palace (castration) for the first time. He saw this expression once. Taizu was under the torch. Although he was at a disadvantage for a while and was surrounded by the enemy army, he remained calm, paced back and forth, and talked about important matters. , The mind is bound to win, but the so-called swallowing mountains and rivers like a dragon.

Not worthy of today, not worthy of the crown prince, even more like Taizu.

Seeing him in a daze, Su Ziji secretly regretted that he had spoken too bluntly and deeply. Just as he was thinking of redeeming himself, Superintendent Zhao came to his senses, and he bowed to Su Ziji, saying: "I have really been educated. I have such a bright idea." , no matter how difficult it is for the enemy chieftain to survive, the southwest can be flattened quickly."

"I don't want you to have strategy in your heart and be good at the art of war." After being overjoyed, Supervisor Zhao pondered for a long time before speaking again.

He looked at Su Ziji, his eyes were full of complex emotions, although these emotions were quickly suppressed, and a head eunuch might lose his composure in front of him, which shows that Su Ziji's identity, talent, and behavior are blended into Together, how much impact will it bring.

"Father-in-law, Master Cui is an imperial envoy after all. If you want to do something, you should communicate with him." Su Ziji bowed again.

"Okay, I will use this strategy to tell Master Cui and the general in the army."

Because of the emotional agitation, even the self-proclaimed "our family" has become "I" unconsciously. As for why he didn't use Su Ziji's own name, there is no need to ask, it is the basic common sense in the officialdom.

After finishing speaking, the big boat he was on was about to arrive at the shore.

Looking at the figures who could already see some black spots, Superintendent Zhao said to Su Ziji: "We're about to land, young master, go back and clean up first. Our family will look back for these things. If there is any follow-up, we will come back to you."

Su Ziji responded, turned around and walked to the side of the boat, jumped back to his own boat, until he entered the cabin, he could feel the feeling of being watched all the time.

"Eunuch Zhao is the emperor's confidant, but he seems to have a very complicated perception of me. It seems that he is loyal to the emperor, so he treats me, the so-called former prince's bloodline, with respect and fear, and has more complicated things... Could it be that he also had a relationship with the prince? Was there any involvement?"

"No, that's really the case. The emperor won't allow him to live until now. Even if he has received favors, they are probably small favors, which are nothing. Or it's just a natural expression of people's attitude towards orthodoxy in this era."

The more so-called loyal servants, before the prince's downfall, there will probably be subtle differences between the prince and the prince.

"So, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is not certain right now. But before the emperor intends to attack me, at least he is still a friendly army. We can treat it with caution and use it when appropriate."

"Hmph, Superintendent Zhao may think that I put the overall situation first, but to deal with important matters, personal grievances are also indispensable. Both Qin Fengliang and Qian Zhidong have to pay the price, not one of them."

"Don't fight for ten years, just fight for the day and night."

"The day I return to Beijing is the day of Qian Zhidong's death. As for Qin Fengliang, well, let's see!" Thinking, Su Ziji had already packed his salute.

When I boarded the ship, I only brought a package, and I couldn’t buy things at sea, except for the books I borrowed from Cui Zhaoquan, I didn’t have anything else, so when I got off the ship, I still only carried a package.

He couldn't take the little fox with him, so he entrusted the wild Taoist to take care of him again. After all, when he got off the boat, he had to follow the imperial envoy, and there would be a lot of eyes watching him around. It's much more convenient to return to a dark place and meet again when you want.

"Finally we've reached the shore." Su Ziji said softly as he stood on the deck side by side with Ye Taoist and watched the gradually clear scenery on the shore.

"My lord, the people from the southwest are already welcoming the imperial envoys. It looks quite grand, and I'm afraid I'll welcome you later. I'll see you after I find a place to settle down." Ye Taoist had the same thought as Su Ziji, He picked up the little fox and said.

Although the little fox was a little repelled, but thinking back on what it did after eating golden olives and getting drunk, it suddenly became a little cowardly.

This kind of commotion under the watchful eyes of the public is nothing more than causing trouble for Su Ziji.

Su Ziji saw the little fox looking unhappy, and poked its nose again with itchy hands, and when it glared at it, he told him: "When you get on the shore, don't rush to find your fox friends, wait for me. news, do you know?"

"Chirp." The little fox responded lazily.

Su Ziji shook his head helplessly, the official ship he was on at this time finally docked.

As soon as he went up, he heard the sound of drums and music, so he stood up straight, and in front, the soldiers on the imperial envoy boat stood on both sides with swords, not to mention that, on the shore, there were even more soldiers lined up, with banners and banners, solemn and solemn. majesty.

At a glance, there are many 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 officials of the fifth and sixth ranks.

In an instant, three cannon shots rang out, Cui Zhaoquan and Superintendent Zhao did not say a word, and got off the boat one after the other. All the generals and civil servants knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I wish you peace!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

Cui Zhaoquan said, this is receiving the gift on behalf of the heaven (emperor), and then he looked a little easy-going, but his eyes swept away, and his face became cold again.
