The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [Luoqiu Chinese] The fastest update! No ads!
"My lord, they are here!!"
"what?"
Lu Bu, who was resting in the tent, was startled and got up subconsciously.
Although it was not stated clearly, there is no need to talk nonsense about who can come in under the siege of the War Soul Army.
These days, the War Soul Army has not had any direct contact with Lu Bu Army except for delivering meals at fixed points every day, as if they are avoiding it deliberately.
Lu Bu was a little strange at first, but then he thought about what he was doing all this time? Simply put aside the unaccustomed, eat and drink every day, point (pick up) Ma Chao when you are free, and live a leisurely life.
Luckily, Lu Bu had been a prince of one side, and he knew that it was impossible for Shang Ji to raise them like pigs on the grassland for a lifetime. And the envoys are here now, it's not that they are late, on the contrary, Lu Bu was surprised that they came too early!
According to Lv Bu's calculations, Shang Ji did not immediately destroy the besieged Lv Bu corps, so he could only send envoys to persuade them to surrender when the overall situation was settled.
Now that the envoy is here, doesn't it mean that the Central Plains battlefield is over? Even without him, Lu Bu, at least there are still three top princes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who were defeated by Shang Ji so quickly?
Thinking this way in his heart, he did not hesitate in action, leading the crowd out to meet the envoy.
"I'll wait to see Marquis Wen."
The envoy was very kind,
As soon as he saw Lu Bu, he took the initiative to salute, without putting on any airs of a winner.
"A defeated general is not brave enough to speak, everyone please come in!"
Lu Bu sighed and waved for everyone to enter.
"Huh? Brother Xi? Why are you here?"
But at this moment, a person behind Lu Bu suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked for the reputation, but they saw that it was Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan who spoke.
"Brother! It's great that you're fine. My mother and my father miss you very much!"
One of the envoys of the Shang Ji Army also shouted and said excitedly.
It turned out that Yuan Xi was also in the envoy group.
"Brother Xi, why are you here? Are father and mother okay? How is the war going?"
Yuan Tan couldn't hold back, and asked a series of questions in one breath.
Yuan Xi glanced at Yang Yi, the leader of the envoy group, with some embarrassment. Yang Yi nodded, indicating that Yuan Xi could answer Yuan Tan's question.
Seeing that Yang Yi agreed, Yuan Xi heaved a sigh of relief, ran to Yuan Tan's side, and explained in a low voice: "Brother, we were defeated. Zhang Yan led the Black Mountain Army to break through Shangdi's troops. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Qu Yi's rebel betrayed him." After losing my father, my father vomited blood and fell into a coma due to grief and anger. After waking up, the situation is gone. Now Shang Gong’s army has taken control of Xindu, but everything is well with my mother and relatives at home. I just miss my brother Shang and my elder brother.”
"My lord father surrendered? Are we defeated?"
Yuan Tan stared at Yuan Xi dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief.
Yuan Xi didn't speak, but nodded silently.
"Where is my father? How is my father?"
Suddenly there was another exclamation from the crowd, and everyone looked, it turned out to be Cao Ang.
On the surface, this was a whisper between Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan brothers. Everyone, including Lu Bu, stretched out their ears to eavesdrop. Hearing Zhang Yan coming out of the mountain, Qu Yi's betrayal, Yuan Shao's surrender, etc. The news, Cao Ang couldn't bear it anymore, and asked anxiously.
Yuan Xi took a contemptuous glance, and said with disdain: "Princess Chang'an understands righteousness, reined in the precipice, and joined Shang Gong, taking advantage of Cao Cao's capture of Luoyang. At present, Cao Cao is leading his troops to flee. I no longer know!"
After finishing speaking, Yuan Xi didn't wait for Liu Feng to ask questions, and took the initiative to say: "As for your father Liu Bei, most of Xuzhou has been occupied by Shang Gong at present. Liu Bei is hiding in an inch of Xiapi and resisting stubbornly."
Yuan Xi's words are of course false. Cao Cao is currently withdrawing his troops steadily, and Luoyang has not fallen; Liu Bei is in some trouble, and Zhao Yun is not biting him, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem now.
On the one hand, Yuan Xi said this to put pressure on Lu Bu, and on the other hand, he expressed disdain for Cao Cao and Liu Bei's behavior of leaving when they saw the situation was not good. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei hadn't abandoned Yuan Shao as an ally at the last moment, Yuan Shao would not have suffered such a miserable defeat.
Of course, this is only Yuan Xi's personal opinion.
Liu Feng and Cao Ang froze in place as if struck by lightning, unable to speak a word.
"No, it's not right! It's only been a few days? The Shang Ji army can't capture Xuzhou so quickly even if it's a simple march, you're biased against me!!"
Suddenly, Cao Ang reacted and shouted excitedly.
"Humph!"
What responded to him was Yuan Xi's disdainful sneer.
"Speak up, talk quickly, you are lying to us, aren't you?!"
Cao Ang was in a hurry and wanted to rush over to grab Yuan Xi and ask him what happened, but when Lu Bu waved his hand, two guards immediately stopped Cao Ang.
Although with Cao Ang's fighting power, he could knock down these two armed guards even with bare hands, but he dared not do it. The guards represented Lu Bu's intention. If they make trouble again, they will not give Lu Bu face. .
"Mr. Yangyi, please!"
"Marquis Wen, please!"
The two exchanged polite remarks, and finally entered the big tent at the same time.
After the guests of honor were seated, Lu Bu and Yang Yi didn't speak, and they were silent for a while.
After a while, Yang Yi took the lead to break the silence: "To be honest with Marquis Wen, what Yuan Xi said just now was slightly exaggerated, but it was not fabricated for no reason. Yuan Shao has indeed given up his arms and surrendered, and Cao and Liu are also fleeing far away."
As she said that, Yang Yi sighed: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liming has suffered a lot. I hope Marquis Wen will help the people of the world, so that there will be fewer wars in the world."
Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently: "Mr. Yang, I am the God of War. War is a pleasure for me. Let's stop talking about such nonsense."
After a pause, Lu Bu said: "If you want to surrender, you can! But I have a few conditions. As long as you agree, I will immediately agree, and I will let the merchants drive me from now on."
Yang Yi was shocked when she heard the words, sat up straight subconsciously, waved her hand and said: "Wen Hou, but it's okay to say!"
"First, all Bingzhou generals are free to come and go. If someone does not want to be loyal to Shangji, Shangji must allow them to leave freely without any obstacles. The generals who take refuge in Shangji must be treated equally with your army headquarters. Promotion and other aspects should not be treated differently. Of course, this general is not included here, and you will not allow this general to "retire in the mountains and forests"?"
Lu Bu smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked back.
"Of course, there is no problem with this. Our army has a complete promotion system. Those who make meritorious deeds must be rewarded and those who have failed must be punished. This is one of the core principles of our army."
"Secondly, after the surrender, the soldiers of the army can be reorganized by your army, but the treatment of the soldiers after reorganization will be consistent with that of your army. If there are soldiers who are willing to disarm and return to the fields, your army must not stop them!"
"Yes, but our army has strict requirements on soldiers. Before reorganization, we will conduct a unified test, weed out the weak and keep the strong, please understand. Of course, all the retrenched soldiers will have standard severance pay."
