Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 459 Persuade to surrender
Envoys from Yunzhong and Yecheng rushed to Chang'an.

Fu Jian naturally met Liu Ying, the Liang envoy, in advance, saying, "Our army is deploying troops in Liangzhou, but I'm afraid we won't be able to attack Taiyuan."

Murong Chui was a tough guy and a well-known veteran in the Northern Kingdom. He had [-] elite men under his command, plus tens of thousands of young men, so Fu Jian naturally had to weigh him up.

Even if he wins the battle, Di Qin will still lose some vitality.

Furthermore, Murong Chui had actually been flirting with Fu Jian secretly.

Who in the world doesn’t know the truth about the coldness of lips and teeth?

Bingzhou has a commanding position over Guanzhong. Once it falls into the hands of Liang Guo, it is clear who will be the next target.

Liang Guo's eyes were already facing west.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liang is willing to give it to Xihe County as a gift, and I hope the King of Heaven will consider it." Liu Ying cupped his hands and said.

Quan Yi on the side said: "Oh, it's not that the King of Heaven is unwilling to contribute, but that the country is short of food, grass and weapons. If His Highness the King of Liang is willing to provide some assistance, we can discuss it. The Qin State does not need your country, the population is dwindling, and the output of the fields cannot make ends meet. "

"How much do you need?" Liu Ying saw that the other party was perfunctory.

"Depends on how far the fight goes, how about 50 stones of food and grass, and [-] sets of armor?" Quan Yi held out five fingers.

Liu Ying's face turned green and white. The battle between Liang and Yan ended hastily because of insufficient food and grass. Otherwise, how could Jicheng be left alive?Three thousand sets of armor is not a small amount. Shanyang Ironworks only has four to five thousand sets a year...

Judging from his tone, he will ask for it again in the future...

The other party is not sincere at all, so there is no need to continue the conversation.

Liu Ying suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "The King of Liang in Taiyuan is bound to win. I can get it with my family's strength alone. The reason why I invited the King of Heaven is because of past friendship. Since the King of Heaven is unwilling to send troops, I will take my leave."

Fu Jian hesitated.

But Quan Yi bowed his hand and said, "It's not that I refuse, but that I really don't have the energy to spare. I hope you will report back to Prince Liang."

Liu Ying surrendered and retreated.

Fu Jian kept murmuring his back until he left the palace, and then whispered: "Isn't this offending Prince Liang?"

Quan Yi shook his head and said, "How can we live in peace and harmony without being offended? Since ancient times, we have been able to look to Shu from Long. How can Guandong and Guanzhong be able to coexist with each other? If Liang Guo annexes Taiyuan, he must have the intention of scheming against me!"

"Sir, what you said is true. In this case, should we form an alliance with Daiguo?"

Tuoba Shi Yijian sent someone here at this time, and he knew it without looking.

Quan Yi said: "Both Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Chui are not Li Yue's enemies. If we form an alliance with them, they will be involved in the Bingzhou War and settle the population. It is better to take Liangzhou quickly and then go to Hanzhong. With these two places, we can Keep Liang away from the mountains and rivers."

Fighting on two fronts put a lot of pressure on Qin.

Concentrating on capturing Liangzhou is the best choice.

To put it bluntly, only by annexing Liangzhou can Di Qin truly stand up.

"Yes, I will dispatch another army to assist Liangzhou, and write another letter to appease the king of Liang." Fu Jian obeyed Quan Yi's words.

"No, the world needs to write two letters. The other one should be given to Murong Chui. Maybe he can persuade this person to surrender!" Quan Yi's eyes flashed with light.

"Huh?" Fu Jian was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

If Murong Chui's [-] elites return to Qin, it will be the icing on the cake.

And Murong Chui seemed to have no other choice but to surrender to Qin!

"Murong Chui is a famous general in the world. He has many soldiers who are accustomed to fighting. If they can be used by me, why should we be afraid of Guandong! You are so smart, sir!" Fu Jian slapped his thigh.

This is much more cost-effective than being directly involved in the Bingzhou War...

After the spring plowing was over, Liang Guo immediately put into production.

The mountains, rivers, hills, and swamps of Guandong are all open to the common people, allowing them to fish, hunt, and pick. The wild beasts in the mountains and the river shrimps in the water are extremely productive, which is a considerable amount of wealth, which can fill the food gap and subsidize the family.

The fields can only feed people, but if you want to live a better life, you have to go up the mountains and down the rivers.

In the past, the mountains, forests, and rivers were occupied by powerful people from all over the country. Now they are all state-owned and open to the people.

The censor and school affairs were investigated openly and secretly, and all parts of the country were visited. Powerful officials and officials were the focus of the investigation.Li Yue originally thought that under his hard work, Hai Yan and He would be cleared, but he still found out some powerful officials and officials who had done evil.

Wild fire, in spring.

As long as you relax for a moment, someone will emerge tenaciously.

Li Yue could only intensify the attack. Once the evidence of the censor and school officials was closed, he would be sent to the border area at the least, or beheaded in public.

The censor and school officials will also conduct overt and covert visits from time to time.

But while there is bad news, there is also a lot of good news.

Generally speaking, the states and counties are still positive. There is a military merit system in the military, and there are complete promotion channels in the local area. They are promoted and demoted based on their political performance. In particular, officials from Shangwu Hall are dedicated to their work and are deeply loved by the people.

Among them, Qiao County's political achievements are particularly outstanding.

Cui Hong compiled the formula based on the Cui family's "April Civil Order" and taught it to the people. He also personally went to the fields to encourage farmers to grow mulberry trees.

During the off-season, every household in other counties is engaged in fishing and hunting, but Cui Hong trains his young men. The men go up to the mountains to hunt, while the women gather and build fish fry into ponds.

He also helped several nearby counties put down several groups of bandits, set up relief homes, and adopted orphans, which won praise from the entire Sizhou.

Qiao County has the largest population growth, and all homeless people nearby are seeking refuge.

Li Yue was relieved for a while. Towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse, and people can only grow after experiencing some setbacks.

"Your Highness, Tuoba Shi Yijian and Fu Jian both refused to send troops to Taiyuan." Zhang Shengye reported.

"Sure enough!" Li Yue was not surprised.

Zhang Shengye said: "After careful analysis of the information sent back, Tuoba Shi Yijian secretly contacted Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Fu Jian, hoping to form an alliance against Daliang!"

"Wishful thinking, he alone dares to fight against Gu?" Li Yue sneered.

The Yan State has been crippled and is falling into civil strife. Murong Ke can accommodate Kezu Hun, Murong Ping, and Mu Yugen, but these people may not be able to tolerate him. A new round of fighting is taking place in the Yan State.

The Queen Mother could use the Hun clan to mobilize Murong Ping and Mu Yugen to investigate the responsibility for the defeat.

Fu Jian was attacking Liangzhou and encountered Song Hun's firm resistance, so he had no time to go east for the time being.

That is to say, Tuoba Shi Yijian is still wishful thinking, placing his hope in the old routine of combining vertical and horizontal lines.

Since refusing to return Daijun, he has been resentful.

Wang Meng cupped his hands and said: "Without delay, I will lead thirty thousand Heiyun troops to persuade Murong Chui to surrender. If he can persuade Murong Chui to surrender, it would be best. If he cannot persuade him to surrender, it would be best to form an alliance with him."

Are they all going up with knives, or are they still "persuading them to surrender"?It was clear that the knife was clamped on Murong Chui's neck and he asked him if he would surrender...

Whatever you do these days, you can't do it without a knife in front of you.

"Is thirty thousand too little? If Murong Chui made a desperate move, wouldn't it be counterproductive?" Li Yue felt happy. Murong Chui was also considered a famous general of the generation, but unfortunately he met Wang Meng and was stepped on and unable to move.

"That's enough. Murong Chui is a bereaved dog. How can he last long with the land of three counties sandwiched between major forces? If I don't go, if I defect to Fu Jian, it will be very harmful! And the government treasury is short of food and grass, and can only bear three Two months of food for ten thousand troops.”

Tuoba Shi Yijian is not a worry, but if Murong Chui defected to Fu Jian, the problem would be a bit more difficult.

Di Qin had Fu Fei in Feng Yi and Deng Qiang in Pu Ban. Both of them were enemies of ten thousand people. Together with Murong Chui, the battle in Taiyuan would be protracted.

Therefore, persuading Murong Chui to surrender without any bloodshed is the best choice.

"Then let Lao Jinglue go!" Li Yue was not pretentious.

Only Wang Meng can do this, no one else can.

If Murong Chui's [-] elites could return to Liang, it would be a big help. As for the future, we will talk about it in the future.

With Wang Meng here, Murong Chui couldn't fly out of his palm.

"I accept your order!" Wang Meng held his hand.
