Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 359 353. On Surrender
"Xingguo is back?"

In the Han army tent, Feng Xi was looking calmly at the map and some documents in his hands. Seeing Zhang Bao striding in, he glanced at him to show his concern.

"Grand Commander, Wu Tu Gu's strength is just so-so. He is a bit too strong, but not agile at all, and his moves are very crude. If I take him seriously, I can defeat him in less than thirty rounds."

Zhang Bao complained a lot about this. It was not like he was unable to defeat Wutugu. If he used all his strength, he could capture Wutugu alive in a few dozen rounds. Then he could bring him back to the Han army's tent and Feng Xi could do whatever he wanted with him.

"Xingguo, things can't be generalized. Even if you are captured, you will feel differently."

Feng Xi shook his head, put down the documents in his hand, crossed his hands, supported his chin, and rested his arms on the table.

"We were all captured, what difference could there be?"

Zhang Bao was a little confused. If they couldn't win, they couldn't win. How could there be any other drama? Ma Zhong, who was also in the tent assisting Feng Xi in handling paperwork and military affairs, was also a little curious about this.

"It's easy to explain. Now if Wutugu is extremely powerful, like Lu Bu reincarnated, and you really can't defeat him, and he captures you alive and takes you back to Wuguo's tent, how would you feel?"

Feng Xi simply did a situational role-playing, which would give Zhang Bao and the others a more intuitive feeling.

"If that's the case, I am not as skilled as you and I am willing to lose."

Zhang Bao thought about it and answered his first reaction. After all, at this time, people would not be like the nitpickers in later generations, pretending to be confused with shit in their mouths, but would still say whatever they wanted.

"Now you have been captured alive by Wutugu and brought to his tent. Wutugu said that he is already very brave and it is only a matter of time before the Han army is defeated. You might as well surrender as soon as possible. Are you willing?"

Feng Xi smiled, deliberately lowered his voice, imitated Wutugu's speech, and tried to persuade Zhang Bao to surrender.

"Of course I disagree."

Zhang Bao snorted coldly and raised his head slightly to the upper right.

"Oh? Why? Isn't Wu Tu Gu a reincarnation of Lu Bu? You really can't defeat him, so why are you still unwilling to surrender?"

Feng Xi asked with great interest, and Ma Zhong pricked up his ears to hear how Zhang Bao would answer.

"Even if Wutugu is as brave as Lu Bu, he is just an ordinary man. I admit that I am not as skilled as him, but that does not mean that the Han Dynasty has lost. Lu Bu himself was also invincible and had no rivals, but in the end he still ended up with his head and body separated and his soul died in Baimen Tower.

If Lü Bu was like this, it would be wishful thinking for Wu Tu Gu to defeat the Han army."

Zhang Bao said this with disdain, making his thoughts clear, causing Feng Xi to nod.

"What if Wutugu was extremely intelligent and comparable to the prime minister? And you, Zhang Bao, failed to ascertain Wutugu's level because of my incompetence as Feng Xi, so you led the team to attack the camp and fell into Wutugu's trap and were captured alive. And then he tried to persuade you to surrender. Do you agree?" Feng Xi changed the subject and changed the situation.

"But it's just a matter of time. If we were to fight on the battlefield, it's still unclear who would win. How can we accept it?"

Zhang Bao was even more disdainful of this situation.

"It's good to be confident, but the enemy won't care about that. The winner takes it all. There will always be people who will do anything to win. Whether it's you or me, we must encourage ourselves and stay vigilant at all times."

Feng Xi said something off topic, which was a reminder to Zhang Bao. After all, when fighting with real guns and knives, who cares about morality? If they can kill you, the other party doesn't care what means are used. Zhang Bao's idea is not very good, so Feng Xi wants to correct it in advance.

"Let's get back to the last situation. Wu Tu Gu can't beat you, and he doesn't have any sophisticated strategies. But I, Feng Xi, am a greedy person, and I am tempted by money. Wu Tu Gu gave me a mountain of gold. I will tie you up at night while you are sleeping and send you to Wu Tu Gu. Are you convinced and willing to surrender?"

Feng Xi turned the topic to the last scene, which was so outrageous that Ma Zhong couldn't help but sneer. Putting aside whether Feng Xi was greedy or not, how could the commander-in-chief tie up his own men and send them to the enemy camp?
"Grand Commander, you are joking. No matter how you look at it, your head is more valuable than mine. Who will betray whom in the end?"

Zhang Bao was also amused and made a few jokes.

Feng Xi is not an EQ monster. He knows that it is best not to involve others in such a bad example. If he uses Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi as examples, wouldn't that be a bit of an eye-opener for others? Even Bao Feng is not suitable, so it is better for him to take the blame himself.

"Don't worry about whether I will do this or not. Just tell me that I betrayed you and took you to Wutugu's camp. He tried to persuade you to surrender. What do you think?"

Feng Xi waved his hand. This kind of scenario simulation naturally couldn't be comprehensive. He couldn't really use the people around Zhang Bao as examples, as that would be an attempt to sow discord.

"Then I'm naturally even more unwilling to accept it. It's just a betrayal by a traitor. He can't beat me on the battlefield, and he can't defeat me in a one-on-one fight. Why should I surrender to him?"

Zhang Bao stopped joking, thought about it, and said seriously. Compared with the first two, this kind of losing was the most unacceptable to him. The first two at least accounted for one each of force and intelligence. In this case, isn't it purely a teammate problem? How can I be convinced if I lost without doing anything?

Feng Xi nodded, now he understood Zhang Bao's thoughts clearly.

"Look at you, Xingguo. You were captured three times, but your thoughts were different each time. How much more so is the people of Nanzhong? Therefore, it is meaningless for you, Anguo, Bao Feng, or even myself to capture Wutugu. It's because they haven't reached the end of their rope yet.

There is a saying that "adding icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow". If the enemy still has the strength to survive, your kindness will look so ridiculous. The enemy will only guess whether you are short of troops, food or time. They will rarely think of you as "kind and generous".

These people in the south have rarely received any education from the Han people, and they are afraid of power but not virtue. So if we don’t let them know that they have no way out, how can they willingly surrender? "

Feng Xi smiled. He could say that, so he naturally wouldn't consider Dong Tuna and Ah Hui Nan as a backup for victory or defeat. To him, those two were the icing on the cake. It was best to have them, but it didn't matter if they weren't. Feng Xi had never hesitated to speculate the worst about the integrity of people in the South.

It’s just that Dong Tuna and Ahui Nan were able to join Zhuge Liang in the original timeline. Feng Xi thought that he had more troops than Zhuge Liang and treated the two of them almost the same as Zhuge Liang, so he could at least gain something, right?
As for Meng Huo, Feng Xi would definitely not play cat and mouse with him slowly. When the Wuguo Kingdom surrenders, it would be time to take action against Meng Huo.
