Great Wei scholar

Chen Zhengru spoke up and asked this question that no one probably wanted to answer.

Surrender is definitely a good thing, but the problem is that this is not a war to expand the territory, but a civil war, and this kind of surrender is of little significance.

"If 2 people died in the battle, how can there be a surrender? This is the first battle, and there is no reason to surrender."

The voice of Zhou Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was opposed to the surrender. He paid 2 lives in the first battle. Now you tell me to accept the surrender?is it possible?It's simply impossible.

As his voice sounded, the voices of the others followed suit.

"That's right, I'm determined not to surrender."

"Damn it, 2 people, [-] lives, tell me to surrender now? Why did you go so early?"

"That's right, no surrender."

This is the collective reaction of the military officers. They killed 2 people, and now tell me to surrender?

This is literally [-] lives.

Impossible to surrender.

But the voices of civil servants also followed.

"You have to accept the surrender, otherwise, it's not benevolent, and if you don't accept the surrender, how will you fight in the future? If you can accept the surrender, they still have a chance, and we can also reduce casualties."

"Everyone, I know that [-] soldiers have died, and my heart aches, but the surrender is to protect the lives of more soldiers. If the surrender is not followed, hundreds of countries will fight to the end, which will have a greater impact on us. "

"Accept the surrender! You must accept the surrender. This is just the first battle. Just show your country's prestige."

The civil servants spoke one after another, and their reason was very simple. Now it is only the first battle, and there will be more in the future. If they do not surrender, more people will die in the future.

At this moment, Chen Zhengru's voice sounded, and he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.

"My lord Xu, if I don't surrender this time, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the overall situation of the war, and it will also cause some controversy. The most important thing is, can the country be stabilized?"

Chen Zhengru was also very direct, and his attitude was very firm. Xu Qingxiao had to consider three issues.

If you don't surrender, the next battle must be a deadly battle. Anyway, accepting surrender is death, and not accepting surrender is death. Why not fight it?

It's a big controversy, if you don't accept the surrender, the people in Wengong will not be idle at that time. They are Confucian people, they advocate benevolence and love, and they want to make troubles, but if Xu Qingxiao dares not to surrender, it must be overwhelming abuse.

If the above two issues are ignored, then the third issue must be taken seriously.

The rebellion of the princes.

Now the feudal lords are probably laughing. If Wei dares to go to war in an all-out way, or if a battle has been fought for several months without results, they will definitely rise up.

If Xu Qingxiao can solve these three problems, then he can not accept the surrender, but if he can't solve it, he must accept the surrender.

The two groups of people quarreled together, each with its own reasons.

Inside the hall.

Xu Qingxiao closed his eyes, and he was also thinking about this question.

But after a quarter of an hour.

Xu Qingxiao stretched out his hand, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Xu Qingxiao, wanting to hear Xu Qingxiao's opinion.

"Everyone."

"The battle report only said that the Fan Kingdom was surrendered."

"However, from the beginning to the end, this official has not received the notice of the surrender of the Fan Kingdom."

"Furthermore, the lives of 2 people opened the gates of Fan Kingdom."

"I think whether to accept the surrender or not is not decided by Xu, but by the 30 troops."

When Xu Qingxiao said this, the meaning was very simple.

Surrender?Still not surrendered?What he said doesn't count, and what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said didn't count.

This problem is handed over to the 30 army to solve.

If they say yes, they accept it; if they say no, they don’t accept it.

But with a high probability, basically they will not be surrendered. My comrades-in-arms, my brothers died on the battlefield.

"Shouren, no!"

"If the soldiers are allowed to choose, it is not conducive to the normal situation of the battle. In war, blood is shed, and in war, there must be sacrifice."

Chen Zhengru opened his mouth immediately, but he still dissuaded Xu Qingxiao from accepting the surrender.

"Master Xu, what the prime minister said is correct. There are still too many enemies behind us. If we don't surrender, the harm will outweigh the benefits for us."

Li Yanlong also spoke up, supporting Chen Zhengru.

"If you don't surrender, if you go against benevolence and righteousness, you will also be criticized. Master Xu, you must think about this matter carefully, and don't be arrogant."

Wang Xinzhi also followed suit. He is a minister of the Ministry of Rites and knows better what this kind of behavior means.

At this moment, the military officers didn't know what to say.

They are definitely not willing to accept the surrender, but the problem is that they are not the ones who decide, if they were, they would have killed and surrendered long ago.

But they didn't open their mouths, and they didn't want to influence Xu Qingxiao's thoughts, because it was really not good to not surrender, and it would have a great impact.

"Pass my order."

"The 30 troops will decide on their own whether the Fan Kingdom is surrendered."

Xu Qingxiao did not listen to Chen Zhengru's words.

He handed over this decision to the 30 army, whether to kill or surrender, it was up to them to decide, all the responsibilities were borne by Xu Qingxiao alone.

The voice fell.

Chen Zhengru wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Gu Yan.

Because the commander-in-chief of this battle was Xu Qingxiao, not Chen Zhengru.

"Ugh."

Chen Zhengru sighed, since he has made a decision, he really has nothing to say.

The next moment, Xu Qingxiao went to the study room, wrote down the information on the fighter plane, and handed it over to the courier. The latter received Xu Qingxiao's military plane information, but his expression suddenly changed, but soon he was expressionless, turned around, and rushed towards Fan Kingdom without stopping. go.

Another two thousand miles of galloping.

There is no room for jokes about military aircraft intelligence.

Two hours later.

The capital of the Fan Kingdom.

The messenger was extremely tired, but he still walked into the palace of the Fan King as fast as he could.

At this time, in the Palace of the King of Fan, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were at a loss, but the monarch of the Fan Kingdom was at peace.

He even secretly asked people to hide some supplies. After all, he knew that Wei would definitely accept surrender, and the only request was to send the supplies to Wei.

He can give the materials sent by other countries, but he is still reluctant to part with the materials from his own family.

At the same time, he also secretly asked the prime minister to do something, contact a good person, sneak out, take a secret path, etc., to ask for help. Of course, it is the same thing to ask for help. country.

The monarch of the Fan Kingdom is purely a fool on the fence, whoever has the advantage follows whoever, anyway, as long as he doesn't suffer.

"Two thousand li urgent information!"

"Please read the letter to Marquis Wu."

The messenger stumbled to the front of Xinwuhou, breathing heavily, but still holding the envelope in both hands for Xinwuhou to watch.

At this moment, Marquis Xinwu stood up on the throne and opened the envelope directly.

With just one glance, Marquis Xinwu directly burned the information, without any change in his face and eyes.

The message Xu Qingxiao gave was only one sentence.

[The 30 generals decide whether to accept Zhaowen without the surrender of the Fan Kingdom]

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were a little curious. They looked at Marquis Xinwu with doubts in their eyes.

As for the monarch of the Fan Kingdom, he didn't take it seriously, and even looked at Xin Wuhou Dao flatteringly.

"Lord Xin Wuhou, dare to ask what the court said?"

He still had the face to ask Wei Wei how he made his choice, and he didn't notice the crisis at all.

Marquis Xinwu didn't answer, but he was a little confused. Xu Qingxiao handed over this decision to the 30 army, Marquis Xinwu admired him.

Because he was already ready to accept the surrender. As a prince, how could he not know that he would not be affected by the surrender?

But he was also angry. With 30 troops, 5 died before they captured the city. This was still a sneak attack. If it wasn't a sneak attack, at least [-] people would die.

In the middle of the fight, it is reasonable to slaughter all the way, but what I didn't expect was that the monarch of the Fan Kingdom was so timid and surrendered directly.

It made him really uncomfortable.

Don't talk about yourself, the 30 army is very uncomfortable, and [-] comrades will die here forever, not including the kind of brothers.

My elder brother, or my own younger brother, died on the battlefield. How many people will let go of this kind of hatred?

If they don't kill them, the army may not be able to swallow this bad breath.

If they were killed, it would be unfavorable for the situation, unfavorable for Xu Qingxiao, and unfavorable for Da Wei.

So Marquis Xinwu was also a little tangled, but what he had to say was that he admired Xu Qingxiao's courage and did not directly accept the surrender.

Instead, leave this decision to the 30 army.

It means to kill.

It's just the choice of the 30 army, it's nothing more than the choice of the important people like themselves, they kill if they say, and they don't kill if they say they don't.

Xu Qingxiao was responsible for what happened, they were just obeying the general's order.

But at this moment, the messenger suddenly said with a note.

"General, you defeated the Fan Kingdom in less than two hours this time, and the civil and military officials of the whole court praised you. I am afraid that you will be named Duke when you go back this time."

He spoke like this, congratulating Marquis Xinwu.

And Hou Xinwu saw the note in a flash, got up immediately and laughed.

"The Duke is a little exaggerated. After all, this small country is full of native chickens and dogs. But if the Marquis can put down the turmoil, it might be okay. It's okay. Go down and rest. You will be busy these days. gone."

Marquis Xinwu stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and took the note into his hand quietly with a look of enjoyment.

The officials of the Fan Kingdom were a little ashamed by what Marquis Xinwu said, and the monarch of the Fan Kingdom also felt a little uncomfortable. Who would feel better if he was humiliated in public?

But in silence, Hou Xinwu turned his back to everyone, unfolded the note, and scanned it with his corner of the eye.

In an instant, Hou Xinwu's expression changed.

The note has only one word.

kill!

This was what Xu Qingxiao meant. The letter just now was just to find a reason, but Xu Qingxiao had already made a decision.

For a moment, Marquis Xinwu tightly grasped the note, then quietly hid it, and walked directly down.

"Lord Xin Wuhou, what did the court say?"

For a moment, the monarch of the Fan Kingdom became a little curious, and couldn't help but catch up and ask.

"The imperial court said to think about it and give an answer tomorrow, but normally, it will naturally be surrendered."

"But there are a few points. Tell all the strategic secrets of the countries, otherwise, the court will not spare you."

Xin Wuhou didn't act immediately, he planned to use Yin.

Upon hearing this, the monarch of the Fan Kingdom was immediately overjoyed, but he did not doubt what Marquis Wu said. After all, it is really impossible to have such a quick result if he accepts surrender or not.

Normally speaking, surrender must be accepted, it is nothing more than the price.

It is estimated that Great Wei is now thinking about what price to offer. Thinking of this, the monarch of Fan Kingdom couldn't help scolding Great Wei Empress for nothing, and hoped that the northern barbarians would kill Great Wei long ago.

It is the kingly way to arrest the empress of Wei and let the monarchs of other races enjoy themselves.

On the bright side, the monarch of the Fan Kingdom said with a smile.

"Please trust Marquis Wu, don't worry, Gu will know everything and say everything."
