Chapter 533 Persuasion
Late at night, Xi'an, county temple.

Tai Shici sat alone in the room, wiping the beloved knife in his hand with an extremely focused expression.

This sword was forged from meteorite iron outside the Great Wall when he fled to Liaodong, and followed him across the world, drinking the blood of his enemies.

Now most of the old Haihun Ministry under Taishici's command has left, and the officials and people who were forcibly recruited from Ai and Xi counties have also been released back home. Xi'an is now in an undefended state. As long as Liu Jing sends troops to come, there will be no danger fight down.

"Boom, boom..." Tai Shimu entered the room with a stick, and Tai Shici hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Taishi's mother looked at the knife in Taishici's hand with slightly cloudy eyes, then looked directly at her son, and asked, "My son is cleaning the precious knife here late at night, what is the purpose?"

Tai Shici hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear to deceive his mother, and replied in a deep voice: "Mother should know the nature of the son, Liu Annan sent back to the mother, if the son continues to be an enemy of Liu Annan, it will not only violate morality, but also put the mother again. We are in danger. But if we surrender to Liu Annan, we will have the kindness of seeking rebellion (Sun Ce) and captives (Sun Quan). After thinking about it, there is only one death, other than that, there is no way to achieve both."

Taishi's mother had expected that with her son's strong personality, he would probably know the will of life and death, but hearing him say it with her own ears, she still felt a shock in her heart.

Tai Shimu tried her best to calm down and said, "My son and Sun Bofu have the same temperament, and the monarch and minister share the same contract. If Sun Bofu is still alive, I will never say a word. Unfortunately, Sun Bofu passed away early. Sun Bofu He is young and unpretentious, his intelligence and military strategy are far inferior to Sun Bo Fu's, and even with your careful assistance, it will be difficult to protect Jiangdong's foundation."

Tai Shimu slowed down, and continued: "Now that my grandson has ordered Zhou Gongjin to lead the army back to Wu, my son is no different from an abandoned son. How can such a move be done by the owner? My son has great ambitions in his heart. How can you die willingly without getting paid?!"

Tai Shici is silent, he is naturally not reconciled, but so what if he is not reconciled?The reason why Sun Quan transferred Zhou Yu back was because of the pressure of the situation, no wonder he, how could Tai Shici feel resentful because of this, and turned to the enemy with peace of mind?
Seeing that her son was unwavering, Tai Shi's mother was so anxious that her eyes turned red and she racked her brains and said: "In the past, Jizi violated the fate of the Yin Dynasty, so he fled North Korea. Zhiguo predicted that Zhibo would die, so he changed his name and passed away. Since my son If you don’t want to abandon your grandson for captives and follow Liu Annan, you can follow the example of the two sages and return to the north. I believe that with Liu Annan’s broad-mindedness, he will definitely not embarrass us.” At the end, Taishi’s mother burst into tears on the spot.

Seeing the gray-haired mother crying because of her worry, Tai Shici's heart was pierced for a moment, and he choked hard.

"If my son doesn't want to be Jizi or Zhiguo, and insists on being loyal to my grandson, I have no fear, and I will die with my son!" After finishing speaking, Tai Shimu turned and left resolutely.

Tai Shici stood still on the spot as if he had lost his soul. After a long time, he let out a faint sigh.

The next day, Tai Shici, who had not slept all night, summoned the county magistrate of Xi'an and ordered him to lead the officials to Chaisang to ask Liu Jing to surrender.Tai Shici himself moved out of the official residence of the county temple with his mother, wife and children, and temporarily stayed in the common people's house.

The two counties of Ai and Xi surrendered, representing the whole county of Yuzhang, which fell into the hands of Liu Jing, but Tai Shici refused to surrender, which disappointed him greatly.

In his previous life, Liu Jing admired Tai Shici very much, thinking that he was a rare hero in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, so even though he knew that he died of illness before the Battle of Chibi in history, and his life was not long at this time, Liu Jing still did not hesitate to spend his thoughts , wanting to take him under his command to see if he can change his fate.

Unfortunately, just as Liu Jing admired him, Tai Shici was loyal and loyal, with the style of the ancients. Besides, Sun Ce and Sun Quan treated him well, so how could he be willing to be a second minister.

However, with such a great talent, Liu Jing was unwilling to give up lightly, and after a long consideration, he decided to go to Xi'an in person to recruit Tai Shici face to face.

General Liu Jing's general affairs were temporarily handed over to Pang Tong, Gan Ning, Liu Zhu and others, and then he rode out of Chaisang and hurried to Xi'an for several days.

When he entered the city, Liu Jing heard that Tai Shici had moved away from the county temple and lived in a private residence, and his heart sank. Tai Shici's move was not to put on a show to raise his status, but he really didn't want to surrender. Returned disappointed.

Liu Jing went to Tai Shici's residence under the guidance of Xi'an county officials. Tai Shici received the news in advance and brought his family to welcome him outside the door.

Seeing Tai Shici, Liu Jing couldn't help admiring: "What a strange man from the north!"

Tai Shici was born in the north, and his body shape is different from that of the southerners. He is seven feet seven inches tall, with the body of a tiger and the arms of a monkey, with a swallow jaw and a beautiful beard.

When Liu Jing got out of the car, Yu Zheng and his personal guards stayed close to each other. At the same time, they stared at Tai Shici. It's no wonder they were so nervous. Tai Shici is a world-renowned warrior. Even if he didn't wear a sword, he was still dangerous It is definitely not comparable to Liu Ye's generation.

On the contrary, Liu Jing looked calm. If he met Tai Shici on the battlefield, he might worry about the other party's bravery and skill at shooting, and he would be nervous.

Right now, there is no need to worry at all, Tai Shici has established himself in faith and is bound by his family, so he would never do such an unwise move.

Liu Jingxing came to Tai Shimu, cupped his hands and said: "The weather is getting colder, and the old man went out to greet you, how can I feel at ease?"

Taishi's mother said: "The general is in my family. He has the grace of life. I have no way to teach my children. I can't repay them. I can only show a little courtesy."

Liu Jing shook his head and laughed, and said: "Taishi Ziyi is a hero of the age, his faith is written all over the world, from Liaodong in the north, to Jiangbiao in the south, his name is passed down all over the world. If the elders say that there is no way to teach their children, who would dare to say that if they are parents in the world?" Are you good at teaching your children?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Jing turned his eyes to Tai Shici who was on the side, and said earnestly and earnestly: "Your step is courageous and courageous, and the wise men of the world are also. Now that the Han Dynasty is in ruins and the world is in chaos, you should think of serving the emperor with one step. How can you be entangled in the kindness of the Sun family here, give up on yourself, and forget the country's difficulties."

Tai Shici was silent for a long time before replying: "I have the righteousness of a monarch and a subject to seek rebellion (Sun Ce) and seek captives (Sun Quan). Now that the whole army has been wiped out and all the territories under our jurisdiction have been lost. I am already uneasy because I have not died yet. How dare you betray the Lord again?"

Liu Jingxuan sighed: "You have the talent of a general, but you don't know people's knowledge, and you don't entrust them to people. In the past, Ma Yuan replied to the ancestors: "In today's world, not only the king chooses the ministers, but the ministers also choose the emperor." Sun Zhongmou Although he is close to the virtuous and courteous, he can win the hearts of all, but he has ambitions but no domineering weapons. If he hadn't met me, maybe he could be like Kai Xiao and Gongsun Shu, occupying a corner, looking forward to being a hero, and being the best among mediocrities It's a pity that he met me, and within a year or two, he will be captured by me, do you believe it?"

Tai Shici fell silent again.

Seeing this, Liu Jing secretly sighed.
