"Finally see me!"
Pei Ju was surprised. After the news came that Wang Sengbian had returned and was going to Dingyuan to reorganize, Zhu Yi and Wen Qin could only recognize the reality.
Whatever their original intentions were, they would dissipate.
"Excuse me, please lead the way!"
Pei Ju stood up. Although he already knew Zhu Yi's plan and knew that the other party had no choice at this time, Pei Ju still maintained a polite attitude.
The attendant who came to deliver the message quickly led the way.
soon.
Pei Ju then came to a large hall in the center of the military stronghold. From a long distance away, he could see three figures standing at the door of the hall. The three figures were Zhu Yi and Wen Qin, father and son.
They took the initiative to greet them at the entrance of the hall and showed their attitude.
"Pei Ju has met the Governor!"
Pei Ju stepped forward quickly and cupped his hands to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi looked very dignified, with a smile on his face. He quickly supported the other person and said, "I've been neglectful in the past few days. Please forgive me, Brother Pei!"
With that said, he personally took Pei Ju's arm and invited him into the hall.
In the main hall, seats have been prepared, and a team of maids came forward to bring tea, cakes, and various fruits containing spiritual energy.
Everyone took their seats.
"This is the spiritual fruit produced by the red fruit tree that grows in a place where spiritual energy gathers in Bagong Mountain. Taking it can nourish the qi and blood and warm the soul. Brother Pei might as well taste it."
Zhu Yi did not directly talk about military and state affairs, but chatted with Pei Ju with a smile.
In order to entertain Pei Ju, he also took out treasures such as red fruits with extremely rich spiritual energy. These are very precious cultivation resources. One of the red fruits provides enough energy to allow ordinary people to step into the third level easily.
The energy contained in the fruit has the best effect on scribes like Pei Ju.
Pei Ju was not polite and directly picked up the red fruit and tasted it.
While chatting and joking, Zhu Yi casually asked for various information about Sihong, and also tentatively asked about King Huai's character and his attitude towards surrendering to the general.
Pei Ju was very proficient in this kind of temptation and did not hide it much. Since Zhu Yi wanted to ask, he could also answer.
By the way, in my answer, I would like to focus on the strength of the Huai army and the wisdom of the King of Huai.
After getting the answer you want to know.
Zhu Yi and Wen Qin glanced at each other inadvertently, and their expressions changed slightly. They looked at Pei Ju, who had the same expression as usual, picking up the teacup and drinking tea gently.
Zhu Yi finally made up his mind and was silent for a moment.
The atmosphere in the palace, which originally seemed relaxed, suddenly became solemn and serious.
"Brother Pei is the envoy of King Huai, what is the purpose of coming to Bagong Mountain?"
Zhu Yi asked in a deep voice. Although he could guess the other party's intention, he couldn't take the initiative to ask for submission before the other party spoke, right?
Such words are too despicable.
Pei Ju put down his tea cup and said seriously: "Now the overall situation of the Jianghuai region has been decided, only Shouchun is still in war!"
"The King of Huai wants to calm down the chaos and is preparing to send troops. He heard about the names of the Governor and General Wenqin and has long admired them, so he sent me to invite the Governor and General Wenqin to join the Huai army!"
He didn't hide it much, and told Huai Jun's plan in a slightly tactful way.
Sometimes, the ability of messengers and lobbyists often depends on the strength of the forces behind them. If they are messengers of powerful forces, even if they have mediocre words, they can be successful.
But if you are an envoy from a weak force, you need to work hard to persuade the target with your sharp tongue, move people with emotion and reason, and work hard to persuade the target.
After saying this, Zhu Yi, Wen Qin, and Wen Yang, who had always pricked up their ears, remained silent.
After a while.
A bitter smile appeared on Zhu Yi's face and he said: "Thanks to King Huai for being so important, I am flattered. I have heard about King Huai for a long time. King Huai is wise, decisive and generous towards others. He is a wise master!"
"If there is no other reason, the three of us are willing to obey King Huai's order..."
"other reasons?"
Pei Ju's heart moved, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Zhu Yi sighed: "To be honest, before Brother Pei came to Bagong Mountain, we had the intention to submit to King Huai. However, a few days ago, an envoy from Shouchun came to persuade us to submit..."
"That's why I haven't met Brother Pei in the past few days."
Now that he was ready to defect to the Huai army, Zhu Yi spoke openly and honestly about what had happened in the past few days.
After Pei Ju arrived, Shouchun also sent an envoy.
The person who came was a name that Pei Ju was very familiar with... Zhuge Jin, who was originally an important minister of Soochow.
His life level has reached the ninth level. Although it is only the weakest ninth level, he has also entered this level and should not be underestimated.
The famous civil and military officials in the Three Kingdoms period were the era when there were the most powerful ninth-level officials. Even in Soochow, in addition to those ninth-level generals, there were also famous ninth-level officials such as Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, and Zhuge Jin.
Bu Zhao has the potential of the ninth level. As Zhuge Liang's eldest brother and the future general after the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, Zhuge Jin is naturally also a ninth level.
Of course, his ninth level is not powerful and cannot be compared with the four great governors and Gan Ning Tai Shi Ci.
When Wang Jing calculated the ninth order of Soochow, he did not include those civil servants who could only deal with internal affairs and could not go to the battlefield without understanding the military skills.
Zhuge Jin did not come to the Jiangnan boundary where Soochow was located.
Instead, it appeared in Shouchun.
This time he acted as an envoy, trying to persuade Zhu Yi and Wen Qin to merge with them.
Zhuge Jin's prestige in Soochow is not low, and Zhu Yi is also a general of Soochow. On this point, they have something in common.
Zhu Yi was also willing to believe Zhuge Jin.
But the master of Shouchun is Zhuge Dan after all. If Zhuge Dan still holds the power, then he and Wen Qin will definitely not choose to merge with the Shouchun army.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Jin used his reputation to guarantee it, but Zhu Yi did not agree.
Wait for the news from Chuzhou to come.
Zhu Yi would not agree to Zhuge Jin. Now that Zhuge Jin had left Bagong Mountain, Zhu Yi also directly told Pei Ju the information about the other party.
"Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Dan! They are all from the Zhuge family. I don't know if Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke has appeared..."
Pei Ju thought to himself.
Zhuge Ke was extremely smart and had extremely high talents whether making plans or leading troops in battle. The battle of Dongxing between Soochow and Cao Wei was Zhuge Ke's achievement.
Defeating more with less, he killed tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei army, causing Sima Zhao to be removed from his title. This battle also brought Zhuge Ke's reputation in Soochow to its peak.
In terms of ability, Zhuge Ke is not as good as his father Zhuge Jin in domestic and foreign affairs, but he is far superior in military strategy.
It is not surprising that such a person can reach the ninth level.
Of course, Zhuge Ke could command an army, but he was not very good at commanding and fighting on the spot, and his personality was a bit arrogant, so he was regarded as a famous minister, not a famous general.
Among them, Zhuge Ke and Zhu Yi also had grudges in history.
If Zhuge Ke also comes and Zhu Yi goes to Shouchun, he will only get temporary benefits, but there will be endless troubles in the future.
