Chapter 677 Harsh (Second update)
Zhu Zhun did not resist and allowed Liu Ying to lead his men and tied him up.
Liu Ying received the letter, checked it over, and took Zhu Zhun to custody and brought it to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun took the letter, opened it and checked it again, and read it in passing. After reading it, he sneered and told Liu Ying, "Let's go, take him to see the princess."
Su Rong, Zhou Gu and others were studying the next city of Xuzhou and formulating an siege strategy. When they heard that Zhang Yun sent someone to report that the Crown Prince of Wei had sent a messenger, she said "Oh?" and asked the people around her, "You Say, Yuan Zhao wrote, why?"
Zhou Gu hummed, "What else could it be? Negotiating peace?"
Su Rongxiao.
Not long after, Zhang Yun came with people under his **** and handed the letter to Su Rong, "This is a close associate of the Crown Prince of Wei, named Zhu Zhun."
Su Rong took the letter and glanced at the tied Zhu Zhun. He did not read the letter immediately, but asked Zhu Zhun, "Your prince, you are facing enemies from both sides now. Doesn't it feel good?"
Zhu Zhun didn’t know how to reply to this and remained silent.
Su Rong raised his eyebrows, "Did Yuan Zhao send a mute?"
Zhu Zhun then spoke, "I'm not mute."
Su Rong looked at him and said, "What about my question to you? Why don't you answer? If you don't answer, I'll have you chopped up and fed to the dogs."
Zhu Zhun said with a sullen face, "The two armies are fighting, and the envoy will not be killed."
Su Rong was amused, "You people from the Wei Dynasty are all so naive? I don't care whether I kill you or not. So what if I kill you?"
Zhu Zhun stopped talking again.
Su Rong asked him again, "You prince, are you feeling uncomfortable now that you are being attacked from both sides? Answer me."
Zhu Zhun clenched his fists, knowing that Su Rong was laughing at the prince. At Heiyaguan, the prince had previously beaten Su Rong so hard that he was unable to fight back, but now he had to lower his body to negotiate a peace. He is a close confidant of the prince, and he can understand this kind of frustration better. He is not afraid of death, but before he left, the prince told him that even if he suffered humiliation, he must endure it, because it was Wei who took the initiative to seek help from Nanchu. Negotiate peace.
So he lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Yes, my Highness is here to ask the Queen to negotiate peace."
Su Rong smiled and nodded, commenting, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is really flexible and flexible."
After finishing speaking, she opened the letter, read it, clicked her tongue, and handed it to Zhou Gu who was standing aside. After Zhou Gu read it, he handed it to Ye Guixue. Ye Guixue looked at it and said, "Take the people down first! Go and ask for the gentleman."
Xie is far away, they want to discuss it.
Not long after, Xie Yuan came. After reading the letter, he asked Su Rong, "What do you think?"
Su Rong laughed, "He said he wanted to negotiate for peace, so why not negotiate for peace? I will always attack him three more cities. Let Yuan Zhao know that I am not easy to mess with, and let him get a piece of my flesh bitten off." Xie Yuan asked Xiang Zhou Gu, Ye Guixue, Zhang Yun and others asked, "What do you think?"
Zhou Gu said: "Then let's fight. Anyway, we still have food and grass for one and a half months."
Ye Guixue said: "Listen to the princess."
Zhang Yun has no objection either.
Xie Yuan said: "Instead of wasting troops to fight, it is better to let the Wei take the initiative to cede. Now that we have captured four cities, if the Wei takes the initiative to cede three more cities, we will also offer one hundred thousand taels of gold and thousands of the Wei's finest horses." , the structural diagram of the siege artillery, then Nanchu will withdraw its troops."
As soon as these words came out, Su Rong blinked and said, "If I don't beat him down, will Yuan Zhao agree to give it to me?"
“Except for the structural diagram of the siege cannon, I’m sure you’ll agree.” Xie Yuan said.
Su Rong immediately said: "You don't need to ask Wei for the structural diagram of the siege cannon. I have a photographic memory. When I destroyed the siege cannon, I had already seen the structure inside clearly. It's just that this thing is not easy to forge and difficult to build." It’s extremely difficult, even if we have the structural diagram, if we want to build one, it will probably take two or three years for the weapons inspectors to do it.”
Zhou Gu's eyes lit up, "Yes, I forgot, but you have a photographic memory. Cui Yanjin, that little bastard, was very pity. He kept mumbling in Xingzhi's ears for many days, saying that the siege artillery of the Wei Dynasty was defeated that day. He destroyed himself."
Ye Guixue also thought of Su Rong's ability and immediately smiled.
Xie Yuandao: "You have to ask for it. Only if you ask harshly and bargain, will the Wei Dynasty agree. Yuan Zhao knows that the lack of military supplies in Southern Chu is a big problem. We cannot swallow the entire Wei Dynasty. The same is true for Daliang. We are facing the same problem. It’s a military supply issue. So, peace talks are for sure, but how to get what we want and let Wei really peel off a layer of skin is the main thing.”
Su Rong nodded, "Okay, then as Uncle Xie said, I will write a letter to Yuan Zhao."
Su Rong is a person who doesn't like to write letters, but she is willing to write this letter by herself. The words should be as sharp as possible, the more things the better, and the conditions should be as harsh as possible. Xie Yuan said that three cities should be ceded, and she directly wrote except Of the four cities she has captured now, the Wei Dynasty will cede another seven cities to Nanchu. If she is allowed to withdraw her troops, the Wei Dynasty will also give her 500,000 taels of gold, 10,000 high-quality BMWs, and a structural diagram of the siege cannon. Crossbow arrow improved structure diagram and so on. After she finished writing the conditions, she added another sentence at the end: Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Nan Chu is the one who is barefoot now, and Da Wei is the one who wears shoes now. If Da Wei does not agree, then Nan Chu will be the one wearing shoes. Chu fought until the end, carrying dry food on his back, until he got all the conditions he wanted.
She finished the letter and handed it to Zhang Yun, "It's better for you to go and deliver this letter to Zhu Zhun, let him go, and tell him that I will wait for the Wei Dynasty for ten days at most. After ten days, I will not get a reply." , then continue to attack the next city. If the Wei Dynasty does not give it to you, I will take it myself."
Anyway, she understands Yan Huisheng's temper. He won't withdraw his troops from the Wei Dynasty unless he gets what he wants. No matter how many troops he has, he can hold back Yuan Zhao and his troops. Gu Dong can't take care of the west. .
Zhang Yun nodded, took the letter, and turned around.
Zhu Zhun originally thought that Su Rong would embarrass him, but unexpectedly, Su Rong only asked him a few questions and humiliated him, then let him go and quickly wrote back to His Royal Highness, Let him go.
Zhu Zhun left the city and drove away from Xinqicheng. He kept in mind what Su Rong had told him that he only had ten days. The tenth day happened to be the day and night from Xinqicheng to Lanwan River where several horses were killed. Day and night, a round trip.
When he returned to Xuzhou, he didn't even stand, and he didn't see He Lanjue or Nangong Zheng. He only left a sentence and asked someone to send a message to them. After ten days, he went back to report to the prince. Ten days later, he waited for the prince's reply. , during this period, they must guard Xuzhou City and not slack off. After all, who knows whether Su Rong will take advantage of these ten days to attack Xu Zhou.
He Lanjue and Nangong Zheng did not expect Zhu Zhun to go back to see Su Rong so smoothly. They looked at each other, did not say anything, and ordered people to continue guarding the city gate.
