Fu Jian was slightly startled at first, then laughed loudly: "Madam, you are really Gu's wise man. Gu knows that I will bring you to Jiangnan this time. That's right! Your knowledge is no less than those of Gu." An important minister of civil and military affairs. Well, it would be best to use a Han as an envoy to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to persuade them to surrender. If rude barbarians go to the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid they will mess things up. I should..."
Having said this, Fu Jian suddenly looked at Mrs. Zhang: "Madam, this time your brother (Zhang Tianxi, the last emperor of the former Liang Kingdom, who is also Mrs. Zhang's brother) also went with the army. He was once the king of a country and he also had a deep understanding of the Han people. Etiquette, tell me, if I ask him to persuade the Jin army to surrender, will it succeed?"
Mrs. Zhang's face was calm, as if she had thought of this a long time ago. She opened her red lips lightly and shook her head: "King of Heaven, the reason why I didn't take the initiative to ask for my brother's wedding just now is because he is not suitable."
Fu Jian softly said "Oh": "Why is it not suitable? He looks very suitable."
Mrs. Zhang sighed: "First of all, my brother is timid and cowardly. He ascended to the throne of Liang Kingdom purely by blood relationship. After he ascended the throne, it was precisely because he was looked down upon by others that he was punished and punished harshly. Harsh, how could a confident king do this? That’s why he was at odds with himself, and the king and his ministers were at odds with each other. In the end, when faced with the king’s army of criminals and criminals, he was vulnerable and had no choice but to surrender.”
Fu Jian nodded: "Well, it is true that your brother does not have the tenacity of your Zhang family's ancestors to start a business. The great Liang Kingdom collapsed in less than a month in the face of Gu's army of one hundred thousand, which is really beyond Gu's expectations." It’s unexpected. However, even if he doesn’t have the ability, he can still talk about the truth, so being a messenger shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head firmly: "No, Heavenly King, he is not qualified to be a messenger. Because his former Liang Emperor usurped the throne and proclaimed himself. The Heavenly King was kind and righteous and spared his life, but the Jin Kingdom may not do this. To them, the Zhang family of Liang is a usurper who has established himself as king, and should be punished according to law. If my brother goes to Jin to persuade the Qin to surrender, I'm afraid Xie Xuan will kill him directly to show his ambition."
Fu Jian's mouth opened wide: "No way, the two countries are at war. If we don't kill the envoys, don't you Han people still have etiquette like us Hu people?"
Mrs. Zhang sighed: "If you don't kill the envoy, you have to look at who the envoy is. A false emperor who has usurped the throne has come to the door at this time, so he is the best object to sacrifice the flag. Besides, the Jin army was unfavorable in the first battle, so it happened to kill the former emperor. It can be regarded as killing a little dragon, which can boost the morale of the army. Heavenly King, it is not because the concubines are shirking, but it is really because my brother has failed more than succeeded. When he went to the Jin army camp, the best result was that he was so scared that his face turned pale and gave people Just throw him out with a smile, and you won't get any results."
Fu Jian nodded: "What you said makes sense. Okay, I won't let Brother Ling go on the mission. Do you think any of the others are suitable?"
Murong Chui's voice sounded outside the tent, with a sense of respect: "I am a humble minister, Murong Chui, pay my respects to the King of Heaven, long live the King of Heaven!"
Fu Jian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "General Murong, you came very quickly. Please come in quickly."
Mrs. Zhang stood up, saluted, and retreated behind the screen. Soon, the tent door was lifted, and Zhang Hao, fully armed with four capable guards, surrounded Murong Chui and entered steadily.
Murong Chui was wearing a general's robe and armor, his face was covered with dust due to the wind and dust. When he saw Fu Jian, he pressed his fist on his chest and said, "I am wearing armor, so please forgive me for not being able to kneel down to meet him."
Fu Jian smiled slightly, sat back on the bed, and raised his hand: "It's okay, General Murong. I asked you to lead the troops just the day before yesterday. How come you arrived so quickly? It takes at least four or five days to get here from Jiangxia. Oh my god, are all your troops speeding up?"
Murong Chui smiled slightly and waved his hand: "King of Heaven, Wei Chen received news from the children on the front line of Shouchun, saying that Shouchun City has been conquered by the cooperation between inside and outside. The military situation is urgent, Wei Chen abandoned the army, and the deputy general, who is also the minister, My younger brother Murong De led me, and the ministers came over at night to tell the King of Heaven something important."
Fu Jian curled his lips and said calmly: "Oh, General Murong came here alone at Xingye. He must have important military information. Go ahead and listen."
Murong Chui was about to speak, but closed his mouth again, turned around and looked at Zhang Hao and the guards beside him, with a troubled look on his face, but he hesitated to speak.
Fu Jian smiled slightly: "General Zhang is very loyal to Gu, and these guards are all descendants of Gu's clan, and they are all confidants. General Murong said it doesn't matter."
Murong Chui nodded and said: "Wei Chen came here first to plead guilty to the King of Heaven. Over the years, Wei Chen has been secretly setting up spies in the Jin Kingdom without the permission of the King of Heaven, arranging clan members to penetrate into the Eastern Jin Dynasty to spy on intelligence. At the same time, he also waited for opportunities to respond internally during the war, and this time it finally worked in the Battle of Shouchun."
Fu Jian nodded and pointed to the Tang Bao on the small table next to him: "Dong Yangping has made these things very clear in the Tang Bao. This kind of general's reconnaissance of enemy countries has a long history in Great Qin. When the former Prime Minister Wang Meng was still alive, he sent spies to sneak into enemy countries many times to find out the truth. Including General Murong, who was suspected and framed by Murong Ping and the Queen Mother Kezuhun. Prime Minister Wang's detailed actions also contributed to the situation. Therefore, these actions In Gu's view, as long as it is beneficial to the country, it means being loyal to the country. It's too late for Gu to reward him, so how can he be punished?"
Murong Chui's face showed joy and he bowed: "Thank you very much for the understanding and support of the Heavenly King. Fortunately, the many years of management by Weichen have had an effect in Shouchun City. This time we won it in one fell swoop, thanks to the Heavenly King's blessing."
Fu Jian smiled slightly: "General Murong, I heard that your two sons played the most important role in winning Shouchun this time. Also, there is a heroine in your Murong clan who disguised herself as a man and infiltrated the Beifu army. We are even inseparable from that Liu Yu, is that true?"
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, she is the daughter of one of my tribesmen. This girl has received special training from me for a long time and is a top-notch spy in our family. Back then, I sent this girl to spy on Jiangnan. Jiang happened to get acquainted with Liu Yu, who was still working as a farmer in Jingkou at that time. It was a romantic relationship. Later, Liu Yu joined the army. This matter caused a big fuss in Jiangnan. Wei Chen took advantage of Liu Yu's relationship and stuffed the spy into Beifu Army."
Fu Jian softly said "Oh": "So, when Liu Yujunchuan became famous in the last battle, your spy was also with him? If this is the case, why not warn our army and let them Can General Ju and Governor Peng retreat safely?"
