Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

The Mongol envoy is here!

"Everyone, do you think we will see this Mongolian envoy?"

"It is said that every time the Mongolian army arrives at a city, they will first send envoys to the city to persuade them to surrender. If they are willing to surrender, then the people in the city can keep it.

But if they are unwilling to surrender, then after breaking the city, the Mongols will definitely massacre the city. We'd better meet the Mongolian envoy and hear what conditions they have! "The guard of Chengdu Mansion said.

He is just a local fifth-rank official appointed by the imperial court. How can he have any thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? What's more, he is from Sichuan and Shu.

"Then let's meet this Mongolian envoy!"

"There are only more than 1 defenders in the city now. They can't stop the Mongols at all. If the city is destroyed, millions of people in our capital will definitely be slaughtered." Another military commander said,

"In order to protect the millions of people in Chengdu, we should meet this Mongolian envoy!"

"What's more, it's not easy for us, that Supervisor Lu! He ran away with 3 troops. Now we only have defenders, and we can't hold it at all." A group of defenders, although there were a few just now They were tough, but when it came to the last step, none of them dared to really lead troops out to fight the Mongols in bloody battles.

Moreover, now that Hanzhong has been captured, reinforcements are impossible to appear, and resistance is meaningless.

"Come here! Let the Mongolian envoys enter the city!" Finally, the guard of Chengdu Mansion made the decision.

Soon the three Mongolian envoys were welcomed in.

Time went back to an hour ago, when Zhang Yong's troops had surrounded the entire Chengdu Prefecture.

Several thousand Mongolian households, as well as a large number of Han military officers, surrounded Zhang Yong's camp.

"Your Majesty! How are we going to fight this battle?"

"What do you think? Should we attack directly, or send an envoy first to persuade them to surrender?" Zhang Yong walked around the map of Chengdu and asked.

Although Chengdu is also a big city, unlike other ancient cities, Chengdu's defense power is not strong. First of all, the defenders are so few that they can't even occupy several city gates in Chengdu.

If the four city gates are attacked at the same time, it will only be a matter of time before the defenders collapse. A strong attack can also be done, but there will still be certain losses.

"Master Military Advisor! According to the strategy you formulated for Genghis Khan, we should first bomb a big city like this with thunder cannons. After the bombing is completed, we should send people into the city to persuade them to surrender." A Mongolian Qianhu said.

Ever since Zhang Yong proposed this strategy to Genghis Khan, the Mongolian army has been using it, and the effect is indeed much better than before.

“After we entered Sichuan and Sichuan, we basically never fought a decent battle, and we basically waited for the wind wherever we arrived.

In this last battle, I also want to be able to fight without any bloodshed, so I won’t use artillery for the time being. Let’s send an envoy into the city first. Zhang Yong asked.

Being able to capture Chengdu without any bloodshed is naturally the best. Capturing a complete Chengdu city has completely different meanings to Zhang Yong than capturing a dilapidated Chengdu city.

Taking down the entire city of Chengdu without bloodshed can break down all resistance in the entire Sichuan and Shu lands.

I walked all the way from Jinniu Road, and all the towns and cities along the way surrendered.

Moreover, Zhang Yong also learned that there were not many defenders in Chengdu, and even if civilians were temporarily recruited, there would not be many. The land of Sichuan and Shu had not been baptized by war for hundreds of years.

The people here don't want to fight either, ever since the Hanzhong incident.

Along the way, Zhang Yong's slogans were to liberate the land of Sichuan and Shu and exempt the people from some of the exorbitant taxes of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, wherever the army passed, it did not cause any casualties, nor did it rob people or destroy farmland.

So now the people in Sichuan and Sichuan still have a very good reputation for Zhang Yong, but if there is any mass killing, the situation will be different.

A momentary killing can indeed deter everyone, but it will sow the seeds of long-term hatred.

"Since the military advisor has spoken, we should obey and let us choose an envoy to enter the city!" A Mongolian Qianhu nodded and said.

The Mongolians are familiar with the matter of sending envoys. In addition to their role as envoys, the Mongolian envoys actually also serve as another identity.

That is to provoke the enemy country and then obtain a suitable excuse for war. Genghis Khan has been using this method since he established the Great Mongolia. It was not until Zhang Yong appeared that he made some changes.

In the eyes of these thousands of Mongolian households, Zhang Yong wanted to get a suitable excuse for war so that all the people in Sichuan and Shu could see it.

It's not that I wanted to cause huge killings in Chengdu, but that Chengdu was unwilling to surrender and even killed my envoy, which resulted in the current situation.

You know, the Mongols are very familiar with this kind of thing, and when the envoy goes up, it is a provocation.

"You go and pick three trustworthy people to come over. I will personally tell them what to say when they enter the city." Zhang Yong said.

Seeing the expressions of the thousands of households under his command, Zhang Yong already knew what they were thinking. Is there anything wrong? It's not what you think!

If you had to choose a high-risk profession in the 13th century, the Mongolian envoy would definitely be elected with a high vote.

why? Because the Mongolian envoys are basically the most rude envoys.

The impolite behavior of the Mongolian envoys is not entirely due to the cultural backwardness of the Mongolian grasslands. In fact, it is a way to obtain an excuse for war. Sacrifice one person to gain a country.

Obtaining a suitable excuse for war is what they really want to do, so generally after the Mongolian envoys arrive, they will make very outrageous or even excessive demands.

When he and Wokuotai were on an expedition to the Delhi Sultanate, Zhang Yong saw with his own eyes what an outrageous request was to ask your wife and daughter to come out and sleep with you!

This is something that no one can bear, but the situation at that time was actually because Wokuotai wanted to get a reason and excuse for war.

Moreover, after the Mongolian envoy is killed, it can also boost the morale of the entire army. This is what the Mongols want.

But Zhang Yong feels that there is no need to do this to Chengdu Cheng. If you go in and say this, you will definitely be cut. If you don't, I will be sorry.

I want to take Chengdu without any bloodshed, instead of asking you to come up and find me an excuse for war, sacrifice yourself, and then increase the morale of the whole army.

Soon, three Mongolians who were highly trusted by the heads of thousands of households were sent to Zhang Yong's house.

"Meet the military advisor! Wanhu! King of Guanzhong." As soon as they entered Zhang Yong's military tent, the three envoys knelt on the ground and spoke, calling out all three identities of Zhang Yong.

"No need to be polite! Do you know why I asked you to come?" Zhang Yong waved his hand and asked.

"Sir! I already know. If I die, please take good care of my family." Among the three envoys, the leader knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Yong, and then spoke with a generous look on his face. said.

"." Zhang Yong.

Damn it, it's a good thing I called you over, otherwise you would have really gone in and played sacrifice. After you finished playing sacrifice, then the whole army's morale would be increased by 10% and we would slaughter it again. What are you trying to do?

You also need to have negotiation skills when negotiating, and you also need to have skills when trying to compromise, okay?

"This time when we enter the city, you all must come back alive. First thing first.

After you enter the city, you are not allowed to provoke the local guard, or say anything misleading, such as asking his wife or daughter to come over and sleep with me.

Second, you are not allowed to secretly observe their city defenses, and I don’t need you to do so. My flying artifact can naturally be seen clearly.

The third is to speak politely and tell them that the Southern Song Dynasty is now exhausted and its destiny has been exhausted. I am a member of the Han Dynasty and am destined by destiny. I came here this time to obtain the will of heaven.

As long as they surrender, they can keep everything in their city. After entering the city, there will be no killing or looting of property. "Zhang Yong said.

"Your Majesty! Don't you want me to go in and investigate the enemy's intelligence, or find a suitable excuse to start a war?" The Mongolian envoy was stunned for a moment and asked.

What are you doing? I'm ready to sacrifice myself so that you can take care of your family, but now you tell me no.

"No need to do this! Let me tell you what to say." Zhang Yong said.

This group of Mongolian envoys are usually the confidants of these thousands or ten thousand families who have been raised since childhood, so they will not be soft-hearted at all when they sacrifice themselves. But Zhang Yong said, you should try this trick first.

"You have to clarify the stakes to them and tell them that there is no point in resisting our 50,000 troops outside the city.

Moreover, the land of Hanzhong has been occupied by us, and the reinforcements from the Southern Song Dynasty cannot get through at all. There is no point in holding on, and it will only increase casualties. As long as we surrender, I will be magnanimous. "Zhang Yong said.

Being an envoy, especially an envoy during a war, the ordinary Han people are absolutely unwilling to go unless they are forced, but the Mongols are very willing because they are playing the sacrificial style.

So Zhang Yong needs to correct their misconception. When it's time to play the sacrifice flow, it's okay for you to go in and sacrifice yourself. After all, the morale of the whole army will be increased by one, and the excuse for war will be increased by one.

But sometimes let’s accept your magical powers!

After speaking carefully to the Mongolian envoy for more than an hour, Zhang Yong put him into the city after confirming that he understood what he said.

"Your noble envoy has come from afar, and it is disrespectful to welcome him from afar. It is disrespectful and disrespectful." The guard general of Chengdu Prefecture immediately said a polite word after seeing the Mongolian envoy.

"Greetings to all of you, I am the Prince Consort of the Great Khan of Mongolia, the head of ten thousand households, the envoy of God, and the envoy of Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong." The Mongolian envoy said.

Hearing this, a group of Chengdu guards twitched their mouths. This title is a bit long! He is a prince-in-law, a head of ten thousand households, a divine envoy, and he belongs to the King of Guanzhong. Just tell us the name of the King of Guanzhong, and we will know.

It's not like we don't know who the person is, so you don't have to tell us his name in such a long way.

"You all should know the purpose of my coming here this time, which is to persuade me to surrender. The King of Guanzhong said that as long as you are willing to open the city and surrender, then everyone will be happy.

After our army enters the city, it will never massacre the people in the city, nor will it rob the people of the city's property, nor will it ask for huge amounts of property from you and others.

I will also treat all the people in the city well, and you will be treated kindly. Your official positions will not change in any way, and you can continue to serve the King of Guanzhong in the future. "The Mongolian envoy said.

What he said was exactly what Zhang Yong taught him.

Otherwise, if you follow the Mongolian style, it will be a provocation first.

Then I tell you that surrender is your only way out. There is no other way. If you don't surrender, you will be killed.

You guys are so incompetent and useless, you are no match for us.

Then according to the daily operation, he was angrily killed by this group of people. After that, the morale of the whole army was increased by one. The God Envoy conquered the city, and then the massacre began.

But obviously, this was not the result Zhang Yong wanted, so Zhang Yong personally taught the messenger.

And tell the Messenger that you are not disposable.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of a large group of Chengdu generals suddenly lit up. This condition can be said to be very generous, even far beyond their imagination.

I originally thought it would be great to save the lives of everyone in the city! They were even prepared to offer a batch of property and a large amount of food and grass.

Even if the Mongolian army plunders, as long as it does not cause large-scale massacre, then just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. After all, you will lose money and avoid disaster!

But I didn't expect that the other party just wanted them to surrender, and then they didn't have to pay anything. This surrender condition can be said to be very comfortable.

It's not even like the prairie army's style at all.

Several Chengdu defenders present looked happy. After all, they were alive. Who wanted to die?

There is no chance of winning against the Mongols. What's more, according to intelligence, there are only 10,000 Mongolian cavalry coming this time, and the remaining tens of thousands of infantry are all descendants of the Han family.

There is even a large group of people who are still their original army in Sichuan and Sichuan. Under such circumstances, they will naturally treat them well.

Moreover, since the land of Sichuan and Shu was included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, there have been some rebellions from time to time, and there is not much loyalty to the Southern Song Dynasty.

"The King of Guanzhong is really righteous, and we are very satisfied with the terms of surrender proposed by the King.

We are not ignorant of current affairs, and we are willing to surrender to the King of Guanzhong. "The guard of Chengdu Mansion said immediately.

"Yes, we are willing to surrender to the King of Guanzhong to save the lives of the people in the city." Another general said.

"Hahaha! Come and serve wine and food to welcome your envoy." The guard general of Chengdu Mansion immediately looked happy and said.

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, it is natural to have a feast and drink. Naturally, the Mongolian envoy did not refuse this matter. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

"Thank you for your hospitality! Please write a letter immediately so that I can take it back to the King of Guanzhong." The Mongolian envoy said.

On this mission, my mission was successfully completed. Since the other party agreed to surrender, it was easy to say anything.

I have completed the task assigned by the King of Guanzhong, and I can still go back alive, which is a very good thing.

"Your Majesty is tired. Please take a rest for the night. I will write a letter tomorrow and you will personally deliver it to the King of Guanzhong." The guard general of Chengdu Mansion said.

After all, they are military generals, and they are big bosses. To write a letter, this kind of thing requires some counselors under them to do it, so it is up to the Mongolian envoy to stay in the city for one more night.

"In that case, I will stay in the city for one more night! Early tomorrow morning, I will take the letter to meet the King of Guanzhong." The Mongolian envoy said.

"Tomorrow morning, we will definitely allow the envoy to leave the city with a letter of surrender." The guard general of Chengdu Prefecture said.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and after the Mongol envoy left, the generals gathered together again.

"Although we have agreed to surrender, we still have to make some preparations. Our Chengdu Mansion is extremely wealthy after all, and there is a lot of money stored in the government office." A military commander rolled his eyes and said.

I really want to surrender, these things are ownerless things! After all, King Guanzhong has agreed that you don’t want anything from us. The silver stored in the treasury should not be wasted.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, another guard immediately slapped him and knocked him to the ground.

"You bastard, listen to what you are saying? Those things are treasury silver. The King of Guanzhong promised not to plunder our property or the property of the people.

But these treasures belonged to the imperial court before. If we surrender, these things will belong to the King of Guanzhong.

If you are really corrupt, then the King of Guanzhong will not let you go. Don't kill us all. "

Could it be that this man was possessed by ghosts? You dare to take advantage of these Ku Yin's ideas. If your actions are really discovered, wouldn't this give the King of Guanzhong an excuse to raise a butcher's knife against us?

"Me! I, the King of Guanzhong doesn't know about these treasury silver anyway, so let's just say that the treasury silver in the palace has been taken away by the officials who escaped, isn't it good?" The general covered his face and knelt on the ground, speaking. said.

"You bastard! We can't touch any of the money in the treasury. We can't even touch the grain, weapons, armor, and arrows stored in the treasury.

If the King of Guanzhong discovers that there is no silver or grain in the treasury, how will we explain it? "The guard general of Chengdu Mansion said with an angry look.

"Yeah, it's better not to play Ku Yin's idea. Leave all these to the King of Guanzhong!" Several other generals also said together.

Hearing this, the general who proposed to divide the Kuyin gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

Early the next morning, the envoy Zhang Yong sent in was respectfully sent out, and then met Zhang Yong again.

"My lord, I have fulfilled my duty and have convinced all the generals in Chengdu Mansion, and they have agreed to surrender.

And they are very satisfied with the conditions you have given them. At noon today, they will open the city gate and surrender to you. "The messenger said.

"Hahaha! Well, you did a good job! I will give you a credit this time." Zhang Yong said happily. (End of chapter)
