fake prince

Chapter 277

Su Ziji entered the cottage again, but was not taken to the hall, but transferred to the big tent.

There was a circle of armored soldiers outside the tent. Seeing him coming, the soldiers who opened the tent reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency has been waiting for you, Mr. Su."

Su Ziji nodded and walked in.

Cui Zhaoquan was standing facing in with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking, when he heard a voice, he turned around.

"You're here, sit down."

The soldiers who came in hurriedly brought over a round stool, Su Ziji thanked him and sat down.

Cui Zhaoquan also sat down at this time, looked at Su Ziji, and asked directly: "Actually, there is one thing that I have always wanted to ask you. Are you old acquaintances with Eunuch Zhao, Superintendent Zhao?"

Unexpectedly, Cui Zhaoquan suddenly asked about this matter. Su Ziji sighed in his heart, knowing that Cui Zhaoquan was still suspicious. With his power, he really wanted to check some information, and he could find out when he went back. He didn't have to worry about such a thing. To hide and lie.

"Yes, the student met Eunuch Zhao when he was in the Provincial Court before."

As he said that, he skipped over the details related to his identity, and described the situations that can be found out one by one.

"Guangling Province... yes, I went to Guangling Province at that time..." Cui Zhaoquan thought about it and nodded suddenly.

Looking at it like this, it seems that he believed what Su Ziji said, and briefly talked about the suppression of the cavalry, and he also agreed with it.

"It's rare that Eunuch Zhao trusts you. He even left a hundred households in the imperial city and even the county soldiers to listen to you. I've heard about the cavalry. Eliminate it, I am afraid it will become a hidden danger now."

"The students just happened to receive information from Baihu." Su Ziji said.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Cui Zhaoquan asked without saying whether he believed it or not.

Su Ziji replied without hesitation: "The 170 villages in the southwest, the students read the materials and found it strange. Although they are one clan, this clan has a lot of water and conflicts with each other. There are conflicts and fights every year."

"Why just in these few years, unite and become one?"

"You mean, someone supports it?" Cui Zhaoquan frowned and stared at Su Ziji: "Tell me more about who supports it?"

Su Ziji shook his head: "Students are just trainees, so they don't know the inside story, and the files are limited, so they can't be detailed, but it's just a little bit unusual after thinking about it based on common sense."

Cui Zhaoquan slightly raised his face and thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, and he said: "Maybe these villages in the southwest, just in time for luck, a clan leader came out."

Su Ziji smiled: "My lord said that even an ordinary family can make a fortune if they are lucky, let alone a family?"

"It's just that even if you have a lot of energy, you have to do your best."

Cui Zhaoquan agreed with this statement, Confucianism is this, listen to the destiny and do your best.

Su Ziji's words became more and more serious: "In history, there are two generations who died in the world. If they can win the world, how can they not have the destiny? The death of the second generation is certainly a blessing, not to mention the lack of human affairs?"

"Even if the enemy chieftain has some luck, after fighting for two and a half years, the stronghold has no benefit, only dead people. Recently, the stronghold has been downgraded by more than [-], opening a gap."

"This attack, if it wins, can still save one or two. Now that it has retreated halfway and lost the battle, the loss is not small. I am afraid that the prestige will drop greatly again, and it will be difficult to control."

"From my point of view, this enemy chieftain doesn't have many ways out. The students feel that he might beg for surrender."

After all, they had been fighting for two years before coming to Southwest, and Southwest already had the intention of negotiating a peace. The reason for wanting to capture the imperial envoy alive this time may not be to increase bargaining chips for the negotiation.

With the strength of the enemy chieftain, it is impossible to enter the capital, right?

Since he couldn't beat Da Zheng, and he took enough benefits to go back, it was also not a waste of fighting for two years, and he also had an explanation to the inside.

Cui Zhaoquan actually thought so too, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but ask again: "If you beg for surrender, how do you think it should be handled?"

"Students are just attendants. They have no experience in this field, so they dare not make false statements." Although Su Ziji had an idea, he said modestly.

Cui Zhaoquan waved his hand: "Hey, why do you have to be humble? I asked you, and you answered yes."

Su Ziji said: "You can accept the bandit army's begging for surrender. After all, we have been fighting for more than two years. The court also hopes to end the war as soon as possible, and the emperor is looking forward to a good report."

"But not all of it."

Cui Zhaoquan got up abruptly and took a few steps, then said after a while, "Oh? Tell me, you can't accept all of this. Why don't you accept the Fa, accept begging and surrender, and how do you accept the Fa?"

Su Ziji replied: "First of all, even if the enemy army begs for surrender, we cannot let the enemy chieftain take the initiative. Our army can accept the peace talks and argue with them. This reason is very natural. We can't be self-reliant. Do we have to ask the imperial court? Enemy chief."

"At the same time, we will continue to send envoys to get in touch with the true surrender cottages and accept their surrender."

"When all the cottages that are willing to surrender have surrendered, and the rest are those that refuse to surrender, we can send a letter to the enemy chieftain, saying that we have heard that a certain cottage is a determined rebel and has been stained with the blood of officers and soldiers. Give the court, give the officers and soldiers an explanation."

"Peace talks are fine, as long as the enemy chieftain kills the cottage owner, our army will accept it."

"On the contrary, if you don't want to kill the traitor, it means that you don't really surrender, and you don't have sincerity. How can we explain to the court?"

"I believe that by then, the general situation will be gone, and the enemy chieftain will compromise."

Cui Zhaoquan was taken aback when he heard this, sighed after thinking about it, and said: "I will consider the specific plan, you can go back first."

Then let Su Ziji withdraw.

Su Ziji went away, walked a few steps, looked back at the big tent, couldn't help sighing, and said repeatedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity."

In the past, Cui Zhaoquan regarded himself as a nephew, but the so-called closeness and closeness are now heavy and thick. Although the importance has increased, there is an invisible barrier.

Although Su Ziji didn't know, only a few hundred steps away, there was a person he knew who expressed the same emotion as himself, but he also shook his head, and after walking a few steps, he heard a noise coming from a distance. It looked like a team of horses came in with their loads on their backs.

"Hey, what happened in front?" He randomly grabbed someone and asked.

The man said: "I heard that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are many cavalry teams in the southwest who spontaneously shipped goods to our army. The goods are very cheap. Everyone is very happy."

"Oh, I didn't expect to kill four caravans, and the other caravans frightened to please them." Su Ziji turned his eyes, and saw a familiar person in the caravan, who was a wild Taoist, and he couldn't help but smile.

After walking for a while, I heard yelling, and then someone asked: "My lord, it's almost New Year's Eve, do you want to buy some new year's goods?"

"Of course I do, go to my tent and tell me, what are you looking for?" Su Ziji said, feeling relieved, and finally they met again.
