"General Murong?" The civil servant's expression was also very surprised.
"Haha, Mr. Wu is here too." Murong Yan laughed dryly, then faced the commander's position, bowed his hands and saluted, and said seriously: "Murong Yan, the envoy of the State of Qin, represents the King of Qin and is here to pay a visit to General Wei Guang."
He specifically stated that he represented the King of Qin and was an envoy, but he was worried about his life.
When Wei Guang heard this, his expression was a bit strange, he couldn't express his feelings and was quite awkward.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Since I am the envoy of Qin, I don't know what I am doing here."
"This..." Murong Yan pretended to hesitate and glanced at the civil servant.
When Wei Guang saw this, he didn't think much and waved his hand to the civil servant: "Master Wu, please step aside first."
The civil servant moved his lips, wanting to stay and say something, but Wei Guang was the commander in chief and the order had been given. He had no choice but to salute: "Yes."
But before leaving, he glanced at Murong Yan meaningfully.
Soon, there were only two people left in the tent, and Murong Yan no longer pretended to be pretentious. He took two steps forward and said in front of Yu Shuai's case: "To be honest, Brother Wei, I am here to persuade you to join me in joining the Qin State. Let’s work together for a great cause.”
"Haha." Wei Guang smiled, firmly seated in command, and glanced at him, "Murong Yan, do you think that I, Wei Guang, will be like you, coveting wealth and betraying the country for glory?"
"Why did Brother Wei say this?" Murong Yan said anxiously: "The dispute between Qin and Ling is essentially a civil war in the Central Plains. We are all of the same nation, so how can we talk about treason? And the emperor, who is destined by fate, can only follow the trend. Only then can I show my ambition..."
"This is a fallacy." Wei Guang interrupted him and said insinuatingly: "Murong Yan, you were defeated in the decisive battle. Not only did you lose 400,000 troops, but you also defected to Qin. How dare you speak so brazenly here?"
This touched upon Murong Yan's sore point. The latter's face instantly became a little embarrassed, and he said awkwardly: "Brother Wei, the outcome of the war is unpredictable. Why don't I want to turn the tide, but I was defeated by the King of Qin and was besieged in Feiyuntan. There is no hope of rescue, so what should I choose? If I don't surrender to Qin, hundreds of thousands of soldiers below will be buried with me."
"You dare to say it's not for your own selfishness?" Wei Guang asked.
"Absolutely not!" Murong Yan said with a serious face: "Brother Wei, have you ever thought that those are hundreds of thousands of young men? My life is of no consequence, but those soldiers, they are innocent!"
What he said was high-sounding. After Wei Guang heard this, he stopped talking about it and stood up: "It is your own choice to surrender to Qin, but it would be too ridiculous for you to come to lobby me today! If not Remembering our friendship in the past, I would have driven you away with a stick!"
"Oh Brother Wei, it is because of our friendship in the past that I risked my life to come here. I can't bear to see you die on the battlefield and end up with your body and head missing." Seeing that he had no intention of killing, Murong Yan suddenly became energetic and could For him, persuading Wei Guang to surrender was not only a great achievement, but also a way to stabilize his identity in Qin. This could be said to be a stepping stone.
"No need to say more!" Wei Guang flatly refused: "As a general, you should serve your country with all your loyalty. Even if you die, you will leave a good name!"
"The general trend is that the mountains and rivers will return to the center, and the tigers and wolves of Qin will surely wipe out the world. By then, Brother Wei will be just a defeated general, so how can he have a good name?" Murong Yan said.
Wei Guang was silent for a moment.
Murong Yan naturally understood his old friend, observed his words, and said again: "Brother Wei knows the situation of today's battle better than I do. It is meaningless to stick to Liupan Mountain. Caizhou will be defeated sooner or later. Let's talk about the overall situation. Whether it is food, grass or food in Lingguo, Our troops are all stretched thin, and this situation cannot be reversed. If Brother Wei insists on his own opinion and ignores dissuasion, how will he deal with it then?"
Then he said: "Brother Wei, haven't you thought about your own future? Even if you don't think about it personally, what about your people?"
"Qin Mieling is inevitable. Brother Wei, please think twice..."
Murong Yan was attacking Wei Guang's weakness. If the battle situation was clear, it would be meaningless to persuade him to surrender, but it would be different if he was about to be defeated.
Wei Guang remained silent, his eyes moved, his thoughts were changing, and he was obviously a little shaken.
But after a while, he took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to say anything anymore! Let's go."
"But Brother Wei."
Murong Yan wanted to say something else, but Wei Guang's face showed displeasure and said, "I can't bear to kill you because of our past friendship. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame him for being ruthless."
"This." Having said this, Murong Yan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and could only hold his hands and said: "In that case, just treat it like this, Brother Wei, take care of yourself."
This trip was very dangerous for Murong Yan. Although he failed to persuade him to surrender, his life was saved. He did not dare to stay longer. After saluting, he left directly.
After he left, Wei Guang started pacing back and forth again after Yu Shuai's case.
At this point in the war, he had to consider some issues, not just for him, but for all the Spiritual Army.
In fact, by not touching Murong Yan, he was leaving a small escape route for himself.
Of course he knew that King Ling hated Murong Yan deeply, but if Murong Yan died in his hands as an envoy of Qin, then there would be no possibility for him to seek refuge with King Qin.
This is Wei Guang's idea of weighing the pros and cons.
But he ignored one person, the former military civilian official.
Due to Murong Yan's original Lingguo status issue, he did not sit idle after he retired as a civil servant. Instead, he immediately wrote a letter, which was sent to Caizhou as quickly as possible.
Liupan Mountain is the defense line on the right side of the main city, and there are military strongholds connected in between. The horses galloped very fast. Before noon, the letter was in the hands of King Ling.
"Your Majesty, a letter from Lord Wu."
"Oh? Submit it."
In the study, King Ling had just finished discussing some matters with Cheng Ping. After taking the letter and reading it carefully, his expression suddenly darkened.
In the letter, the civil servant did not add any exaggeration, but simply explained the facts, saying that Murong Yan had entered the camp, Wei Guangping had withdrawn, and they talked with him privately for a long time.
But this is the key point for the Spirit King.
Because he hated Murong Yan deeply.
Such a man who abandoned an army of 400,000 and defected to the enemy country entered Liupan Mountain, but walked away unscathed. How could King Ling not be angry about this!
After slamming the letter on the table, King Ling became angry and said: "Hateful!"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Cheng Ping asked tentatively.
King Ling glanced at him and said angrily: "Murong Yan, this old thief, is really working for the King of Qin. He ran to Liupan Mountain to persuade Wei Guang to surrender! Now, although I don't know what Wei Guang means, he and Murong Yan After Yan had a long talk in private, he then sent him away! It’s really unreasonable!”
