Come to Song Dynasty with the system

As long as the Dragon Army relaxes and gives them the slightest chance to attack, these people will swoop up like hungry wolves and bite them into pieces.

On the tower of Linhuang Mansion, Xiao Xiaoyou's actions were clearly seen.Su Shi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Lou Yang with a smile: "Go and call Zhang Jian over."

Soon, Zhang Jian, who had just collected Yelu Hongji's body, was brought up to the tower.

Su Shi didn't waste any time. He pointed at Xiao Xiaoyou's army that was walking towards the city and said: "If you don't want you Liao people to die too many, then find a way to persuade them to surrender. Look carefully, we have a lot of artillery shells. , if they really dare to charge, we won’t be polite next time, but it’s just you Liao people who will die, and it’s others who will get the advantage, you can figure it out yourself.”

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at the mountains of second-generation dragon bullets in the distance. He knew that Su Shi did not scare him.

With such a powerful dragon bullet in hand, even if more than 30 Liao soldiers rush forward, there will be no good results.

The important thing is that in the face of such powerful artillery shells, no army can maintain strong morale. Once they are defeated, the coalition forces watching the excitement will not feel the slightest distress. In the end, they will be the only ones who suffer. Liao people.

"Okay, please let me go, your majesty, and I will talk to them." Zhang Jian said as if he had made some determination.

To be precise, Zhang Jian was indeed a loyal minister, so loyal that he was not only loyal to the emperor, but also to the Liao Kingdom.

Since he was still here, he would naturally not watch the Liao people make fearless sacrifices and die in front of him.

When something happened to Yelu Hongji before, it was because he couldn't catch up in time.Now that he had the opportunity to save more than 30 Liao comrades, he felt it was his duty to do so.

As for whether he would be in danger by doing this, Zhang Jian now has no time to think about so many things.

"Yes." Su Shi nodded in agreement.

Su Shi also wanted to take this opportunity to see Zhang Jian's abilities.

Of course, there is a certain danger in doing so, but isn't this exactly where the value of Zhang Jian's ability lies?

If there is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Su Shi will not need to put his efforts into reusing him.

Since I invited you here, I asked you to do something.

Su Shi agreed, and soldiers immediately prepared the hanging basket. Zhang Jian sat in it alone and was slowly lowered.

Xiao Xiaoyou was slowly advancing with his army. He had reached the area covered by previous artillery fire, but he did not find a big firecracker falling. This made him start to think more, could it be true that as Yelu Zhongyuan said, the current dragon Doesn’t the army already have many such powerful weapons?

While he was still thinking about these things in his mind, one of the soldiers already said: "General, look, there are people coming down from the tower."

"Oh, go and check right away. Who is coming down?" Xiao Xiaoyou asked with curiosity.

Not long after, the news came back that only one person came downstairs, and that was Zhang Jian.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, hurry up and welcome him." Upon hearing that the person coming was Zhang Jian, Xiao Xiaoyou became excited and agitated.

Xiao Xiaoyou knew very well that he had the ability to lead troops in war, and he was not afraid of death. He was also good to the soldiers and could lead an army well.But other than that, his abilities are mediocre.

Especially things like making suggestions are not what he is good at.

Zhang Jian is different. Anyone who can become the third envoy is undoubtedly a person with a delicate mind. If he has such an adviser by his side, he can rest assured about what should be done next and how should be done. .

Having known Zhang Jian for many years, Xiao Xiaoyou knew that this person was loyal to the Liao Kingdom. Naturally, Xiao Xiaoyou would not be wary of such a person.

After receiving the order, the soldiers dispatched and quickly brought Zhang Jian to him.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jian, Xiao Xiaoyou said excitedly, "Sir Zhang, it's great that you can appear here. How about it? How is the situation in the city now?"

When Zhang Jian talked about the situation in the city, he thought of the fact that Daozong of the Liao Dynasty was dead, and his face was naturally a little ugly.But he also knew that he couldn't tell the news now, otherwise it would have a huge impact on the morale of the military, and some people would inevitably make a fuss about it.

"General Xiao, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Zhang Jian spoke, and Xiao Xiaoyou said something bad in his heart, but considering the seriousness of the matter, he still agreed, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, please come with me, General."

In the general's tent, after everyone had retreated, Xiao Xiaoyou looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Tell me, there are no outsiders here."

"Hey, General, the situation in the city is very bad." With a sigh, Zhang Jian opened his mouth and told everything he learned about the situation.

When Xiao Xiaoyou saw Zhang Jian's face just now, he knew that the situation in the city was probably not going to be good, but he never thought that it would be so bad.

Daozong of the Liao Dynasty actually committed suicide. This alone made him lose his composure, and he felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and he didn't know what to do next.

He was also loyal to the emperor, but now that the person he was loyal to was dead, what would he do next?Who else do you want to be loyal to?

Even if we fight and win, who are we fighting for?

In fact, not only Xiao Xiaoyou, but also Zhang Jian felt this way before.It's just that after such a long time, he has somewhat adapted to it, and has begun to think about the future of the Liao Kingdom.

"General Xiao, your Majesty committed suicide to thank the world. This is an unchangeable fact. As ministers, we should follow your Majesty. But we cannot do this now. Your Majesty is gone, but the son of Liao Kingdom The people are still there, and they are still waiting for us to save them. If we die now, what will they do? Will they let others bully and humiliate them? "

"Presumably at this point, His Majesty doesn't want to see a spirit underground."

Zhang Jian knew very well that he came with a mission. Even so, he had to convince Xiao Xiaoyou first.

"Huh? What does Zhang Da mean?" At this moment, Xiao Xiaoyou slowly recovered from his sadness, looked at Zhang Jian, and asked tentatively.

"What I mean is very simple. In order for the Liao Kingdom to save more fire, we cannot continue to fight this battle because we have already lost. If we continue to fight, no matter what the result is, it will not be of any benefit to us. .”

"General, your family and the families of the soldiers are all in Linhuang Mansion now. They are all looking forward to your safe return."

"What, are they all okay?" When he mentioned his family, Xiao Xiaoyou also became excited.

Of course they would be fine. After Long Jun entered Linhuang City, they only punished those who wanted to cause trouble. As for the other dignitaries and common people, they did not move.Of course, with the style of work done by Su Shi, the First Emperor of the Dragon, it would be difficult for most of the powerful and wealthy gentry to end well, but as long as they admit their mistakes with a positive attitude and are willing to spend money and food, their lives may still be saved.And as long as people live, there will still be hope for everything, right? "

Zhang Jian knew Su Shi's character very well, especially his attitude towards those powerful men and gentry who made a living by stealing and plundering.

On such a matter, he did not want to lie to Xiao Xiaoyou, but spoke in a matter-of-fact manner.But as he said, there is still hope when people are alive, which is also the most important point.

Xiao Xiaoyou did not make a decision immediately, but became silent.

As a minister, it is natural that he should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

When the king dies in the war, his ministers should die together.

But can death really solve the problem?

What will their families do after they die?Do you have to die with them to show your loyalty?

How innocent do you think they are?Some are even just swaddled babies. What do they know?

Seeing that Xiao Xiaoyou was still hesitating, Zhang Jian spoke again: "General, if we continue to fight, we will suffer chaos. Now it is obvious that someone regards us as victims. The more fierce we charge now, the more heavy the casualties will be. But it’s not us who benefit, so what’s the point of dying like this?”

"Su Shi is a serious problem for our Liao Kingdom. Now the facts have been confirmed, but one thing cannot be denied, and that is his power."

"Whether it's economically or militarily, this person's strength is something that not everyone can compare to."

"Think about it now, this person is too scary. Have you ever returned to Linhuang Mansion? The streets there are filled with all kinds of food. As soon as this thing came out, the restless people's hearts were instantly suppressed. Go down. He knows how to grasp people's hearts. If we are against such a person, we won't even have the slightest hope of victory."

"Even if we are invincible, it is better to surrender. We are people who don't even have His Majesty, so surrendering is not surrendering. Why not choose a more powerful person who is also a good king to the people? In this way, even if we are one day When I went to meet His Majesty underground, I had an explanation."

"At that time, I can tell His Majesty that not many of his subjects died because of this war. This is also a blessing among misfortunes."

"This is the only thing we ministers can do."

Every word Zhang Jian spoke was like thunder exploding in Xiao Xiaoyou's heart.

Yes, the kings are all dead. Who are they sacrificing for now?

Who are we fighting for at this time?

No one will reward them for their meritorious service. On the contrary, if they lose a battle, they will be ridiculed and won't even give them a look of sympathy. There is no point in fighting such a battle.

When I think about the fact that the relatives of my soldiers are in the city and are all under Su Shi's control, it means that all of them are being grabbed by their pigtails. At this time, will there be any benefit in resisting?
