Chapter 278
Not to mention Su Ziji's emotion, after this person resigned, Cui Zhaoquan turned around in the tent, frowned and muttered: "This plan is intended to kill people with a knife? No, it is to provoke civil strife... Could it be that Su Ziji really intended this? "

Although this strategy is considered very good, but in view of Su Ziji's performance, Cui Zhaoquan doubts that this strategy will not be so simple.

"It's a pity that although he is a good talent, he is too close to Eunuch Zhao, so he is not a quiet person..." Su Ziji's words dispelled some of Cui Zhaoquan's worries, but they did not completely remove his doubts.

Just because Su Ziji was able to gain the trust of Eunuch Zhao, let this cunning head eunuch specially leave a hundred households in the imperial city just to cooperate with Su Ziji's actions, it can be seen that the relationship between the two should be more than just I've never seen it so simple.

"Eunuch Zhao is only loyal to the emperor. This old man should not be mistaken."

"If Su Ziji can gain his trust, he should not belong to any faction of the kings of Qi or Shu. Could it be that this is a bag that Superintendent Zhao is cultivating for the emperor, and Su Ziji is the talent he is looking for?"

"It's reasonable to think about it this way, and Su Ziji should be worthy of Eunuch Zhao's efforts to win him over."

"It's just that if this is the case, I will lose the right way. Originally, I wanted to win over and train him, but now that I think about it, in terms of character, I am not as good as Shao Sisen."

"After all, I was born in a small family, so I am too eager for quick success."

After a lot of thinking, Cui Zhaoquan simply let a few personal soldiers come in, and ordered to call an aide and two side generals who were close.

After these people left, Cui Zhaoquan called another soldier and said, "Go and call Shao Sisen over."

"Yes!" The soldiers also went out.

"Since they both came from Taixue and were framed together, maybe Shao Sisen has other talents besides studying, so we can try to see if they can be cultivated." Cui Zhaoquan thought to himself.

At this time, due to his injuries, Shao Sisen was living with the wounded soldiers in an undamaged wing room. Although there was ventilation, it was already warmer than a tent.

When the personal soldiers came to call him, Shao Sisen was sitting on the couch reading a book boredly. Due to his shoulder injury, one arm was in pain and he couldn't move freely, so he sat and read with a book in one hand.

"Young Master Shao!" The soldiers called at the door: "Master Cui, please go over."

Invited by the imperial envoy?

Shao Sisen immediately covered the scroll and got off the bed: "I'll go right away."

Even though the wound was painful, he didn't forget the etiquette. He changed into clothes that were not stained with the smell of medicine before passing.

When Shao Sisen arrived at Cui Zhaoquan's tent, the earlycomers had already been waiting for a while.

These people couldn't help looking at this young scholar, not understanding why Master Shang Shu called this one while discussing matters.

Even if you value Tai students, you should invite Su Ziji, at least Su Ziji has just made a contribution, so it is not surprising to appear here.

And this rough man rushed up to the wall, saying that he beheaded two bandit soldiers, but actually killed five of his own soldiers in order to rescue them.

"Your injury is not healed yet, so you don't need to be too polite. Take your seat first." Seeing that Shao Sisen was coughing and wanted to salute, Cui Zhaoquan stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked someone to bring another block over.

Now that everyone has arrived, Cui Zhaoquan said, "I called you here because I want to say something."

He patted a letter in front of him, "Someone shot a secret letter in just now. Although the person who shot the arrow was not caught, the letter is interesting."

"The thief chief wants to surrender." Cui Zhaoquan's words were like throwing a stone into the lake, which immediately stirred up the mood of the people present.

He coughed, glanced at the people present, and asked, "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

The staff member who followed was Chen He, who asked hesitantly, "How can we prove that this is not a trap? The bandit chiefs have always been cunning and cunning, and surrender may not be sincere."

One person agreed: "I also have this doubt, I'm afraid this is another trick, just to delay time!"

"But it's also possible that the thieve chiefs were scared of being beaten. They almost broke the boat and set a trap before. They didn't succeed, and they lost these people. How do you know if they really want to surrender?" Some people have different opinions.

"After fighting for more than two years, Dazheng is so prosperous and powerful, the court is exhausted, and the bandits and chieftains are only mediocre, so how could they have more troops and provisions than Dazheng?" Some people also agreed.

Cui Zhaoquan watched the discussion with his eyes, and galloped off in the direction of the topic, and hurriedly brought the topic back.

"Let's not say whether it is true or not, I just ask you, assuming that the letter of surrender is indeed true, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Ahem!" Shao Sisen's injury is not serious, even though his shoulder still hurts, he still suffers from the cold, and coughs from time to time, but he looks pretty good, he hesitated, and said, "My lord, the students think that's it. It's best to accept."

"Tell me." Cui Zhaoquan signaled him to continue talking.

Shao Sisen continued: "The imperial court has long been looking forward to the end of the war. Before the peace negotiation, it should be because the conditions were not negotiated, or the bandit chiefs refused to negotiate a peace in the name of surrender. But right now, the bandit chiefs are obviously resigned. Continue to fight , no one can stand it anymore, why not take this opportunity to end the war."

"The thief chieftain has no vision, and all he wants is official positions or gold and silver. If you ask the court to show favor and give him grace, even if it's just to make him a duke, it must be able to appease him and make him grateful."

"And with this title, there will inevitably be restrictions. The government can gradually rule it out, and the people will return to their hearts. At that time, they will naturally not be able to reverse it."

At first glance, these words seem to make sense, but the problem is that the bandit chieftain that Shao Sisen said had no vision, was able to hold back the Southwest Army for more than two years, and once caused Emperor Dazheng a headache.

How can such a character be really satisfied with a title and a little grace, and just be grateful to Dade?
Even if it can be stabilized for a year or two, or even three or four years, as long as the bandit chief recharges his energy and recovers from this breath, he will surely turn against him again.

After hearing Shao Sisen's words, Cui Zhaoquan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Seeing that none of the people present could come up with an idea, he stopped asking, but spoke out the strategy given by Su Ziji in his own tone.

"Continue to contact the village that wants to surrender first, and accept the surrender. When no one surrenders, I will tell the thief chief to present the head of a village master who is determined to be an enemy of Da Zheng, and then allow the thief chief to surrender. What do you think?"

Among the few people in the tent, the staff member Chen He had a quick brain, and he immediately understood what Cui Zhaoquan said.

He said pleasantly: "My lord, this plan is very clever!"

Seeing that other generals, even Shao Sisen were thinking about it, he immediately flattered him.

In fact, it's not flattering, and I really admire this plan in my heart, thinking that although it is cruel, it is very effective, and it can even prevent future troubles forever.

"My lord, if this strategy of yours is implemented, it may make the Southwest no longer have any worries!"

"Based on this strategy alone, you are already better than Qian Shuai and General Qin in terms of military strategy!"
