After rebirth, I became a national teacher

However, Chen Qingzhu was not interested in appreciating the pain of his enemy.

She still had a lot of important things to do, so there was no need to continue wasting time on her defeated opponent.

"Take her to Xinzheku."

she ordered.

The eunuch in the room immediately dragged Zhang, who was still crying, out.

Yongping Camp

It was still chilly in spring, and the snow in the north had not yet melted. At this time, the Yongping camp was immersed in an extremely depressing atmosphere from top to bottom.

One hundred thousand Hu troops from the north are already chasing us.

The capital of Wei in the south had fallen, and they had no food or supplies left, and no place to retreat.

According to the information reported by the scouts yesterday, 5,000 Du'e soldiers have already traveled lightly and are galloping towards Yongping.

Afterwards, another 50,000 well-equipped Du'e troops arrived one after another.

The Liaodong defenders are now facing attacks from two powerful enemies and are on the verge of despair.

"General, there are envoys from the Hu tribe outside the city, saying they want to negotiate with you."

In the temporary general's residence, personal soldiers came to report to Liaodong General Hong Shizhong.

Hong Shizhong frowned and slammed the table angrily:

"Tell them to get out!"

What other purpose could the Hu envoy have in coming here at this time other than to persuade us to surrender?

"Tell them that we, the Liaodong Army, will fight against the Hu people all our lives and would rather die than surrender!"

The personal soldier took the order and left. He soon arrived at the city gate and loudly conveyed the Liaodong general's intention to the Hu envoy.

The envoy from the Hu tribe was Pei Xiao.

King Hu believed that as a former minister of the Wei Dynasty, he had now surrendered to the Hu tribe and was treated well and valued, and that he was a model for persuading Wei ministers to surrender.

The tough attitude of the Liaodong general made Pei Xiao, who was dressed in Hu clothing, look gloomy.

After escaping from the capital and hastily seeking refuge with the Hu tribe, he had always felt humiliated.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

As a foreigner, even though he had tried his best to marry King Hu's daughter and tried his best to offer advice to King Hu, he was still rejected and despised.

They gave him an official position that seemed good but had no real power, and asked him to appease the people in the occupied areas of Wei.

Behind his back, countless people of the Wei Dynasty called him a traitor who shamelessly served as a dog of the Hu people.

He kept regretting in his dreams at midnight.

If he had not so hastily surrendered to the Hu tribe and stayed in the Wei territory for a longer period of time, he would never have suffered the humiliation he is facing today.

The Pei family's reputation for loyalty and goodness was ruined by him.

What’s even more infuriating is that even though he sacrificed so much, he still couldn’t make a comeback.

Now seeing that Liaodong General Hong Shizhong was so courageous, he felt like it was a loud slap in the face.

But right now, there is no time for him to be sad.

King Hu promised him that if he could successfully persuade the Liaodong defenders to surrender, he would let him command half of the Liaodong army as the vanguard to attack the Du'e army.

Persuading the Liaodong general to surrender was his only chance to gain real power.

He must do his best.

Seeing that the Liaodong general's personal soldier had finished delivering the message and was about to leave, Pei Xuan simply drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The arrow accurately hit the flagpole on the city wall with a flag hanging on it, penetrating three inches into the wood. There was also a letter on the arrow shaft.

With this kind of archery skills, it is no exaggeration to say that one can hit the target from a hundred paces away. It successfully frightened the personal soldier and many soldiers on the city wall.

Pei Xiao heard the exclamation from the city, raised his lips slightly, and said:

"Tell your general that the king admires him very much and is willing to treat the Liaodong soldiers well. The specific conditions are all written on the paper. Please consider it carefully."

"At this time tomorrow, our army will come to the city with cannons to ask for your answer!"

He knew that the Du'e Army would soon head north, and would probably try to incorporate the Liaodong Army as well.

He couldn't give them too much time, lest the Du'e Army arrive and the Liaodong Army wait for the price to come.

After saying this, he rode his horse back to the Hu camp without hesitation.

The letter he shot onto the city wall was handed over to the Liaodong general.

Hong Shizhong was so angry that he wanted to throw the letter directly into the brazier, but in the end he opened it angrily.

After reading the contents of the letter, he slammed the letter on the table angrily.

"How hateful! Even the barbarians dare to use money to attack our Wei soldiers!"

"All this money was looted from our Wei!"

What’s even more hateful is that if such conditions were to spread to the military, it might really shake the morale of the troops.

The treatment that the Wei Dynasty gave to the border troops was quite good, but after the layers of deductions from above, the soldiers could only get 60% to 70% of what they received.

The quality of food, clothing, and weapons was often inferior.

This was even when he was following General Meng's will and working hard to clean up the bad atmosphere in the army.

Soldiers are also human beings. They need to eat and feed their families.

The Wei Dynasty has fallen, and with better treatment, many people will be shaken.

But he was unwilling to do so.

Now, whether surrendering to the Du'e Army or joining the Hu tribe is treason.

He doesn't want to choose.

He has sent people to contact the Guanxi Army that was suppressing the rebellion in Qin Province, asking them to send reinforcements to help him escape.

At this point, pretending to be friendly with both parties and instigating them to offer high prices and compete with each other may be the only way to buy time.
