Zhao Junsheng asked: "Wu Jinbao, who are you Guo Li? Why does he trust you so much and ask you to come to see me with a letter?"

Wu Jin raised his arm and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and quickly said: "Return to Your Majesty, the villain is General Guo's personal soldier, the most personal one!"

"Oh? Well, let me ask you, does Guo Li really want to surrender, or is this just a trick?"

Wu Jinbao kowtowed in fright, "Your Majesty, my general really wants to surrender to His Majesty!"

"Since that's the case, why didn't he lead the troops out of the city directly, why did he ask me to lead the troops into the city?"

This question is obviously beyond Wu Jinbao's cognition. He scratched his cheeks, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I remember my general said that just leading troops out of the city and surrendering will definitely not attract His Majesty's attention. There should be a vote of honor. The villain thinks that my general’s vote of honor is to dedicate the entire city of Chengdu to His Majesty. If the general leads troops out of the city to surrender, the gates and walls of the city will be controlled by Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang’s troops. Your Majesty still has to Not to reach Chengdu City, but if my general opens the city gates and His Majesty leads the army into the city, within an hour or three quarters, Your Majesty will be able to control the entire city!"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his chin, and said to Dongfang Chen: "Master, you can ask!"

"promise!"

Dongfang Chen slapped the judge, turned to Song soldier Wu Jinbao: "Wu Jinbao, I ask you, what is the situation in the city now?"

Wu Jinbao immediately told what he knew about the situation in the city.

Dongfang Chen asked again after listening: "Do you know the attitude of the officials and generals in the city? Do they advocate surrender or stick to it?"

Wu Jinbao said: "Returning to the teacher, the villain only listens to my general. Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang advocate sticking to it, and other officials have vague attitudes, but these people should all advocate surrender, but these people are all cunning and cunning. Ken easily expressed his thoughts, the common people ran away, they could run away, but they would be held accountable by the court, if they surrendered, they would be able to get official positions in the Qian Kingdom, they did not run away with the common people because They also want to surrender to His Majesty with a certificate of surrender!"

Dongfang Chen said again: "Wu Jinbao, what kind of person do you think your general is?"

This is embarrassing Wu Jinbao, an outsider asked him to comment on his master, what is this embarrassing him?

Yang Lie warned from the side: "Wu Jinbao, you'd better tell the truth, if you say something wrong, be careful not to lose your head!"

Wu Jinbao was so frightened that his body trembled, and he was covered in cold sweat. He swallowed his saliva, but decided to tell the truth: "Returning to the teacher, the villain tells the truth, my general has a fierce temperament, but he is also bullying and afraid of the hard. Meeting the wind makes the rudder, he was born as a grassroots, if he didn't know these flattery methods, he would never be the leader of an army with his ability! But he is good to the villain and other cronies, and he is never short of food and clothing At the same time, I often reward some property, cloth and the like!"

Dongfang Chen nodded, turned around and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I'm done asking questions!"

Zhao Junsheng told the imperial guard next to him: "Take Wu Jinbao down and wait, get him some food and drink, and let him have a good rest!"

"No!" The two imperial guards clasped their fists in agreement, and took Wu Jinbao away.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Dongfang Chen: "National Teacher, how are you?"

Dongfang Chen bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I can't see any flaws!"

"You mean Guo Litoucheng's credibility is very high?"

Dongfang Chen said: "The credibility is more than [-]%! Your Majesty heard it just now. Under normal circumstances, Wu Jinbao must have kept praising Guo Li in this environment. After all, he is Guo Li's confidant, and he must defend Guo Li." Li, tried his best to facilitate this matter, Guo Li is rich and powerful, he can ascend to heaven! But not only did he not say good things about Guo Li, but he also revealed all of Guo Li's character flaws, which shows that this person was really afraid just now, That's why I told the truth, and of course he didn't forget to say a few nice words to Guo Li in the end, this is also human nature, Guo Li is kind to him after all!"

"If Wu Jinbao keeps saying good things to Guo Li, saying how loyal he is, how brave he is, how friendly he is to his colleagues, how loyal he is to his superiors, and how benevolent and righteous he is to his subordinates, then there will be a problem. I can't believe this Guo Li. stand!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, approving Dongfang Chen's analysis, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Well, tomorrow and night, I will lead troops into the city and seize the whole city!"

"Your Majesty must not do it!" Li Song shouted loudly, stood up and cupped his hands immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the world says, 'You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others'! Your Majesty has already made an order to sweep first. Pingchuan and other cities in Sichuan and then plan the strategy of Chengdu City, so why worry? Since Guo Li has the intention of surrendering, His Majesty will ask Wu Jinbao to go back and tell him to lead his troops out of the city to surrender early tomorrow morning. Hurry at this moment, the city wall of Chengdu is not considered tall and strong, there will be a day when it will be breached, why should His Majesty take the risk himself, Your Majesty is a body of gold, please think twice!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and shook his head: "Li Qing is thinking about my safety, and I accept it! It is not an easy task to break through the city of Chengdu. The casualties range from thousands to tens of thousands! If you can take the city of Chengdu without bloodshed , it's worth taking the risk!"

Li Song insisted on Zhao Junsheng, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you can't dissuade your majesty. If your majesty must send troops into the city, please send a general to lead the troops into the city first. You don't have to take risks yourself. Wait in the city." It won’t be too late for His Majesty to enter the city again after the situation stabilizes, and there are eighty if not a hundred generals in the battalion, so His Majesty should give them a chance to make meritorious service, right?”

Zhao Junsheng looked at the generals in the tent and saw that they had longing looks on their faces, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I won't personally lead the troops to capture the city. Nie Feihu, I will give you one thousand infantry and two thousand guilds." Join the army, and when we enter the city tomorrow, we will attack Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang's troops together with Guo Li's troops and seize Chengdu!"

Nie Feihu finally waited for a chance to fight. He was in high spirits, stood up and clasped his fists and promised: "I obey the order!"

Chapter 1003 Persuasion

After the ministers dispersed, Zhao Junsheng thought about it and still wanted to check the situation in the city, "Come here, call Lin Jinghui over!"

"No!" Someone outside the tent promised.

Soon, Lin Jing would ask to see him outside the tent, and Zhao Junsheng announced him to come in.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "What movements and changes have occurred in the city these days? Can our army still get in touch with the secret work in the city?"

Lin Jinghui clasped his fists and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I am about to report to Your Majesty. I received a detailed report from the city two nights ago, saying that there are rumors that Liu Yu, the governor of Yizhou, died suddenly, but the news has not been confirmed. I will report after it is confirmed. But it has been two days, and it stands to reason that Xi Zuo should have verified this news long ago, but until now we have not received a report from Xi Zuo, and we have lost contact with Xi Zuo in the city!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The news is true. Last night in the city, Song General Guo Li sent a personal letter from him. Guo Yi intends to surrender to our army. His letter mentioned the news of Liu Yu's sudden death!"

"What?" Lin Jinghui showed a shocked expression, "In this way, our secret work must have been exposed and encountered an accident, otherwise it is impossible for him not to contact us!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that this matter might have something to do with him, he said: "Speaking of which, this matter must be blamed on me. It is I who ordered the people in the city to leave. Without the people's cover, the possibility of revealing their identities is very high. Increase!"

Lin Jinghui quickly said: "How can it be counted on His Majesty's head at this time, it should be that Xi Zuo was accidentally discovered by someone! Things often happen when Xi Zuo exposes his identity, Your Majesty don't need to worry about it!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't talk about this matter. But our connection with the city cannot be interrupted, otherwise we will become blind, at least we can't interrupt the communication before starting to attack the city. We must understand the situation in the city , Is there still our army in the city? You can't arrange only one person, right?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are indeed hidden secret works in the city. The minister has sent people to contact them, but at this time the city is heavily guarded and there are no people to cover it. It is not easy to connect with the secret work. External contact may take a lot of time!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that this matter should not be rushed: "Report immediately as soon as there is news in the city!"

"promise!"

······

After breakfast, Chen Xian came to Ye Tongzhang's mansion with a few soldiers, and happened to meet Ye Tongzhang was about to go out.

"General Ye, take the liberty of committing an offense, and invite General Haihan!" Chen Xian got off his horse and clasped his fists.

Ye Tongzhang clasped his fists in return: "I, Lao Ye, am a rough man, so General Chen, don't be so polite. You came to see me, Lao Ye, for something?"

"There is something wrong, the general is going out?"

Ye Tongzhang said: "I'm going out of the barracks, but I'm not in a hurry. General Chen, please come in and talk!"

Chen Xian clasped his fists and followed Ye Tongzhang into the Ye Mansion.

The two sat in the front hall, and the servant brought tea.

Chen Xian was not polite, and went straight to the point: "General Ye, although Mr. Liu is no longer here, as a soldier, I plan to stick to it to the end. I wonder what you think?"

Ye Tongzhang was a little displeased: "General Chen, although I, Ye Tongzhang, am a rough man, I also know the truth of serving the country with loyalty. I dare not say it if I stick to it to the end, but I will never surrender when I can still hold a knife and gun!"

Chen Xian clasped his fists: "The general understands righteousness, and I am not alone! That's it, the general should know that there are three soldiers in the city, under the command of you, me and General Guo respectively, but the three of us have the same military rank and status. However, if the other two were to obey the command of the other, I am afraid that the two would not be willing, but if they want to block the attack of the Gan army, they must concentrate the strength of the whole city's defenders, and must have a unified command, so there must be one person Come to command these three soldiers and horses, what does the general think?"

Ye Tongzhang nodded: "That's the truth, but who will lead us? Who else in the city has such prestige and strength? General, don't mention those civil servants to me. These people only talk and talk, and they all want to keep it. My official position, property and status, I am annoyed when I see them!"

Chen Xian felt that Ye Tongzhang was credible and could work with him, so he said, "How about letting General Sima Kong lead our three troops to resist the siege of the Gan army?"

"Him?" Ye Tongzhang's eyes widened, with a ghostly expression on his face, "General Chen, what are you kidding? It's not that I, someone Ye, didn't give you face. If Kong Yingxian had general talent, he wouldn't be like this. If the general listened to him Yes, this is tantamount to sending the brothers to die!"
