After staying in Wu Jun's camp for a day, Lu Cong put on a clean set of clothes and arrived outside Ningyang Pass with the envoy's guard of honor the next day.
Because it was wartime, the city was heavily guarded. Seeing Wu officials arriving, many soldiers loaded their bows with arrows and leaned out.
Seeing this, Lu Cong quickly shouted: "Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow, I'm the envoy——"
Seeing that he looked like a civilian official and indeed had an envoy's guard of honor, all the Qin army officers looked at each other.
A general leaned forward to observe, and then waved his hand back, indicating to the soldiers to withdraw their crossbows: "Go and notify Commander Su."
When the two countries are at war, it is a rule not to kill the envoy. Killing this civil servant will not only have no benefit, but will also cause a series of consequences.
The news was quickly passed to Su Yi. After hearing this, the latter was a little surprised, but still said: "Let him come in."
Not long after, led by the sergeant, Lu Lai arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, Su Yigang had just finished discussing some matters with the generals in the tent, so everyone had not left yet. When they saw Lu Cong, who was wearing the official uniform of the Wu Kingdom, they couldn't help but stare at him.
Many generals of the Qin army have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Their eyes are fierce, and some of them have evil intentions and press their hands on the hilt of their swords.
Under such circumstances, a timid person might be intimidated, but Lu Cong didn't change his expression. He walked straight forward, bowed his hands and bowed, and said, "I, Lu Cong, have met General Su Yi."
Su Yi, who was behind the command, looked at him first, and then said: "Your Excellency, you dare to enter our Qin army's camp alone. You are very courageous."
"Haha." Lu Cong smiled and said confidently: "From what the general said, could it be that the Qin State wants to kill the envoy?"
"Okay." Su Yi interrupted him and said, "Please tell me your intention."
"This..." Lu looked around, showing a look of embarrassment, and handed over his hand again: "This matter is of great importance. General, please step aside."
"No need, just say it here." Su Yi rejected him directly.
However, Lu Cong seemed to have expected this. He did not panic, but said seriously: "What I am talking about is related to whether Wu will attack Qin. Such secrets will only be discussed with the general."
Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but frown slightly.
The generals on the left and right also looked at each other.
Lu Cong followed closely: "I won't retreat, and I won't say anything, because the matter is too big."
The more he said this, the more curious he became.
Su Yi was no exception. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand.
The generals understood and didn't say anything more. They all clasped their fists and saluted and retreated.
Soon there were only two people left in the tent.
Su Yi glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Lu Cong looked around again, and after confirmation, he said: "General, there is a huge opportunity in front of you this time, but the general doesn't know it."
"Huh?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow.
Lu Cong continued: "The current Qin State is facing many crises. It will not be long before it is on the road to destruction. Once it reaches that point, how can the generals deal with themselves when they arrive? The famous general Ren Ying at the time is a lesson learned from the past!"
"And my king is deeply impressed by the general's talent and does not want to see the general die with the Qin State and cause the general's star to fall. That's why I have specially ordered you to come to see the general."
Although his words were not fully explained, the meaning was already vaguely visible. When Su Yi heard this, he sneered again and again: "It's so ridiculous! Is this the big thing you want to say?"
After the initial conversation, Lu Cong was not surprised that he had this attitude, and quickly said: "General, there are not many troops and horses that can be mobilized in Qin State. Let's not talk about the Chu army attacking Shanyu Pass. If our Wu army , can Ningyang really stop the increase in troops? By then, Qin will be dead, and the general will be the defeated general!"
"According to what you said, our Qin country must perish?" Su Yi asked with a sneer.
"This, given the current situation, isn't it?" Lu Cong said.
"That's your opinion, not my opinion! Even if it's true as you said, so what! As a general, if your family and country perish, you will be shrouded in horse leather!" Su Yi said.
"The general's words are fallacious. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost in, and loyal ministers choose their masters to serve."
Lu Congdao said: "The King of Qin was a tyrant. If you were foolishly loyal to him, your country would be ruined and you would die. Instead of doing this, it is better to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side. Be loyal to my king. With your general talents, my king promises that you will be awarded the title of duke, and you will be given the honor of being a great general." The post of general!"
"What did you say!?" Su Yi was shocked when he heard this. This King of Wu is really spending a lot of money!
"Duke, general." Lu Cong continued, following the temptation: "At that time, the general in our country of Wu will be subordinate to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. He will be appointed as a general and command the army of the whole country. He can expand the territory at will. , accomplished an unparalleled feat..."
Su Yi was silent.
On the surface, it looks like he is thinking about something.
In fact, he was a little shocked.
Seeing this, Lu Cong quickly said: "Either follow the King of Qin and go to the road of destruction, or become a duke and serve as a general, and live in glory and wealth for the rest of his life. This choice is not difficult for the general, right?"
"Moreover, when it comes to the wisdom of a monarch, how can my king be comparable to the King of Qin?"
When the situation is critical, it is actually easy to succeed in persuading people to surrender. Throughout history, there are many such examples.
Just when Lu Cong thought he was about to succeed, Su Yi suddenly said after being silent: "Have you finished speaking?"
"Ah? This..." Lu Cong was stunned and a little unresponsive.
Su Yi said with a smile: "As you said, the best destination is to meet the Ming Lord. In terms of the wisdom of the monarch, can King Wu compare with my king? Isn't it ridiculous?"
In his heart, Xiao Yuan is the king of the world who is truly talented and strategic.
He respected and feared Xiao Yuan, and his loyalty was unquestionable. He followed him all the way and was promoted to important positions, from a young general to the current commander-in-chief of an army!
It can be said that Wu Guo found the wrong person.
After finishing speaking, Su Yi said in a calm voice: "You can go, I don't even bother to kill you."
"This, general!" Lu Cong was a little anxious.
Su Yi's eyes turned cold: "If you dare to say more, please step down and test the sword!"
ah! ? Hearing this, Lu Bong couldn't help but swallowed. He didn't dare to say anything more. He could only show a resentful look and said awkwardly: "It's such a pity to say this, haha..."
Su Yi's loyalty aside, in fact, no one in the Qin army could rebel.
Because the prestige of King Qin is there!
He was a horse-riding monarch who fought in both the north and south, and conquered the country by force. His prestige among the soldiers and civilians in the country was too great!
Especially for the Qin army, if the soldiers knew that they wanted to rebel against their country, you can imagine who would follow!
