20demayo Chapter 279
Chapter 279
Wu Qi's words were like a knife, leaving Jiao Zi speechless.
The generals who came with Jiao Zi also knew the seriousness of the matter. They were different from the masters sent by the court. Those people could run away if the battle was not going well.
But if these generals abandoned their soldiers and ran away alone, they would definitely be punished when they returned.
"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Jiao Zi was worried about a bigger change, and was concerned about the garrison in Jimeng Mountain. He was afraid that Wu Qi would attack at this time, which would be very troublesome.
"Speak quickly, okay, I will say it directly. For the lives of 2 million people on Jimeng Mountain, please order General Jiao Zi to surrender and join our Zhenbei Army. On behalf of His Royal Highness the King of the North, I promise that the North will not hold anyone accountable and treat everyone equally."
"As for your family and property, I am responsible for ensuring their safety in the North. Please rest assured about this."
This is Wu Qi's purpose, to defeat the enemy without fighting, and to obtain 2 million main forces for the North out of thin air.
If this plan is realized, it will be far more effective than destroying the army of Jimeng Mountain, and it will also be a devastating blow to the morale of Liang State.
"Sure enough, it's just a pity."
Jiao Zi was not surprised. Since Wu Qi had been calculating him for so long, he must have maximized his benefits.
"I wonder if General Jiao Zi has any other ideas?"
Jiao Zi seems to be very stable, but Wu Qi, who is the planner, is more stable.
"I guessed that there would be no good banquet, and I was also on guard against this eunuch, so I came to the banquet."
"For us, if it can be resolved peacefully, of course it would be best. If not, isn't this our last chance to struggle to the death?"
It turned out that Jiao Zi had the same idea as Wu Qi.
When the armies fought, Jiao Zi thought it would be difficult to win, especially if the supplies could not keep up, and the battle could not be fought.
The reason why Jiao Zi brought all the masters of the army, in addition to worrying about safety, was also to fight to the death in case of an accident and take down the high-level generals of the barbarians, and maybe he could turn the tables by taking this opportunity.
Even if he couldn't, controlling more barbarian generals would give him a chance to catch his breath.
"I advise General Jiaozi not to try. I have already arranged everything you can think of. Don't sacrifice in vain."
This is the purpose of Wu Qi inviting Song Que and others.
"How do you know if you don't try? Let's do it."
After saying that, Jiaozi stood still, and the many generals around him didn't move either. Instead, the masters sent by the court to guard and assist them took action.
There were more than twenty people, half of whom were land immortals and half were grandmasters.
These people were bloodthirsty desperadoes who didn't care about the occasion at all and rushed directly towards Wu Qi and others.
Their target was obviously Wu Qi.
Seeing this, Song Que, who was standing next to Wu Qi, had a cold look in his eyes. He swung the long sword in his hand fiercely, and the sharp sword energy whistled out, forcing all the invading enemies to retreat.
After showing his skills, Song Que stopped moving. He knew that these enemies were not his opponents, and he was still disdainful of bullying the weak.
Fu Hongxue, Ding Peng and other sword gods stepped forward and fought with the masters of the two countries. Their sword skills were superb, and each sword contained endless murderous intent and domineering, which made the masters of Liang feel unprecedented pressure.
The flash of swords and the shadow of swords were staged in this not-so-large tent.
The sword skills of Fu Hongxue and others were as fierce as a storm, making it difficult for the masters of Liang to resist. And the masters of Liang were not to be outdone, and they used all their skills to fight against them.
For a time, the tent was filled with fierce fighting and shouting.
But soon, this fierce fight was over.
Fu Hongxue and others were ruthless, and every sword was deadly, intending to kill all the masters of the Liang court.
This was something Wu Qi had instructed before.
Through the introduction of Eunuch Xi, Wu Qi naturally knew the existence of these people.
These people are good at assisting Jiao Zi and others, but at the same time, these people are also restraining and monitoring Jiao Zi and others.
With their presence, Jiao Zi could not and dared not betray Liang State, and others dared not to do so either. Therefore, no matter how they talked, these people had to die.
Soon, under the fierce attack of the sword gods, all the people who went to Liang State died in battle.
"General Jiao Zi, I will help you get rid of the shackles. You should be relieved this time."
Through Jiao Zi's actions just now, Wu Qi guessed Jiao Zi's thoughts.
Jiao Zi did not speak, thinking with a gloomy face. Others looked at him secretly and did not dare to speak. If they said the wrong thing at this time, they might die without a complete body.
The generals of the South Courtyard had no hope for the situation in the South Courtyard. Liang Hong had been arrested. Does the South Courtyard still have a future?
Even if the South Courtyard returned to the hands of Liang State in the end, it would not return to Liang Hong again. These people were destined to have no future.
Surrendering to the North was not a good choice. After all, they were two countries, and they would not reuse themselves.
However, compared with life,, surrender is not unacceptable. The North may not care about these small people. This is their chance to survive.
The generals who came from the court were definitely unwilling to surrender.
Their foundation and family business were all under the control of the royal family, including Jiaozi. If they surrendered, the royal family would definitely retaliate.
For one person, abandoning the entire family is a very difficult choice.
But at this time they did not dare to speak and waited for Jiaozi's decision. After all, there were tall people to support the sky.
With Jiaozi taking the lead, the royal family would definitely target him first, and they might still have a chance.
After thinking for a moment, Jiaozi looked up at a general next to him.
"General Zhang, you are here by order to secretly supervise the army. Don't hide now. Tell everyone the truth. In this battle, are we going to fight or surrender?"
No one expected that Jiao Zi would ask another person at this time. This person's position in Jiao Zi's army was not high, and his performance was mediocre at ordinary times, but he did not expect that he had such an important identity.
"I didn't expect that such a secret matter could not be hidden from the Marshal."
"Jiao Zi, we are blessed by the emperor and shoulder great responsibilities. Even if we die in battle, it doesn't matter. How can we live in disgrace?"
"You pointed out the identity of the last general at this moment. I believe you have made up your mind, but have you thought about the consequences? None of the nine clans of these people present can be spared."
"Don't challenge the determination and cruelty of the court. What are we? We are all sacrifices. Instead of destroying the whole family, why not sacrifice one of us and still have a good reputation after death."
It turned out that there was a pair of hidden eyes in Jiao Zi's army. Jiao Zi proposed it at this time to blind this pair of eyes.
"General Wu Qi, you've heard it too. Although I, Jiao Zi, am not a good person, I cannot bear to see the relatives of so many brothers implicated."
Jiao Zi's words were righteous, as if he was thinking of everyone, but in reality he was kicking the ball to the North. If you want us to surrender, then solve our worries.
Wu Qi understood. Wu Qi had expected this matter. It was not difficult to deal with, but it was hard for Eunuch Xi.
