Chapter 213 Public Law and Private Friendship
Sun Rui called the generals to discuss the matter.

Regardless of whether Wei Gu really surrendered or pretended to surrender, arrangements must be made to avoid falling into the trap.

There are too many intrigues on the battlefield.

Xu Huang was also among the participants.Although he is only the captain of Wumeng, he has the title of Marquis of Gaoliang Ting, and he is more favored by the emperor than most of the people present.

After hearing Shi Sun Rui's arrangement, Xu Huang got up and signaled that he had something to say.

Wei Jie's face darkened slightly, and he wanted to stop drinking, but Shi Sun Rui shook his head to stop him.

"Gongming, tell me."

"Does the Taiwei want to accept Wei Gu's surrender?"

Shi Sunrui admitted it frankly, but did not explain the reason.

Xu Huang is from Hedong. He was an official in the county and was an acquaintance with Wei Gu.He personally wants to put Wei Gu to death, and it is unlikely that he will kill Wei's Manchu family. There must be other tenable reasons.

"To save Duke Yang?"

Sun Rui nodded.

Wei Jie couldn't help but said: "Gongming, the Taiwei is not only Duke Yang, but also a member of the Wei clan. Wei Gu is guilty, and there are more than [-] people in the Wei clan, but there are many innocent people in the Wei clan. If they can save a way out, it will be an act of virtue."

Xu Huang cupped his hands in greeting. "Taiwei and Xiaowei have a benevolent heart, and Huang admires them very much. If possible, Huang would also like to be a whole family. But to be blunt, whether it is Yang Gong or Wei, their safety is definitely not dependent on Wei Guyihe As a rebel, Wei Gu can only restrain himself and ask His Majesty for forgiveness, he is absolutely in no position to bargain."

Wei Jie's face darkened. "If Duke Yang is killed by Wei Gu, who will be responsible?"

"About robbery, the big man has his own laws. The captain understands it, and Duke Yang must understand it too."

Shi Sunrui exchanged glances with Wei Jie, coughed twice, and signaled to Wei Jie that there is no need to argue.

Xu Huang's reminder is very reasonable, even irrefutable.

The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and all those who rob hostages will be killed, and they will not be allowed to redeem their treasures and open up treacherous paths.

That's the case with robbery, let alone rebellion.

Accepting Wei Gu's surrender for Yang Biao's life is a personal friendship, not justice.

As for accumulating yin virtue, it is a private virtue.

To put it more seriously, this is to harm the public by selfishness, at the cost of the court's lawlessness, and to seek personal gain.

Although many people do this, they can't say it out loud.Now that they were confronted by Xu Huang, they couldn't justify it.

Of course, it is not impossible to make an excuse, just cite the scriptures of sages to defend one's actions, but Xu Huang may not accept it.

It would be fine if it was just Xu Huang alone, but now most of the captains and military marquises in Weiweiying, the Fifth Northern Army School are like Xu Huang.Between the scriptures of the sages and the dignity of the emperor, they will choose the latter without hesitation.

If this incident becomes a big issue, it will range from arguing before the emperor to mutiny from the generals.

"Gongming, just listen to me." Shi Sun Rui got up and left the table, walked up to Xu Huang, reached out and gently pressed Xu Huang's shoulder.

Xu Huang bowed again and sat down again.

Sun Rui turned around and looked at the generals.

Ju Jun and the others had one expression, while the others had another expression.

"Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and Chang'an was destroyed by Li Guo. All the lords saw it with their own eyes. I don't need to say more. Your Majesty personally conquered Hedong. How could it be Wei Gu and Fan Xianzai? Choose a place for the court to settle down."

Shi Sunrui sighed. "The king has conquered but not fought, and the emperor patrolled the river east. How can he take murder as credit? Wei Gu is a big family in Anyi, who violates the law by force, confuses people's hearts, and makes river east uneasy. If he must be killed and then quickly, river rivers of blood will flow in river east. The hearts of the people are uneasy. Accepting Wei Gu's surrender is not only for the protection of Yang Gong and the Wei clan, but also for the hearts of the Anhe River scholars."

"Governance is based on benevolence and righteousness, so Mencius said: the benevolent is invincible." Shi Sun Rui looked at Xu Huang. "Does Gongming think so?"

Xu Huang was silent for a moment, then bowed to accept the order. "Only ordered by the Taiwei."

Shi Sunrui is right, he can only obey orders, although he may not agree with Shi Sunrui's opinion.

He couldn't insist on killing the Wei clan, and he would not hesitate to damage the reputation of the emperor's benevolence and righteousness, and affect the emperor's plan to establish his capital in Hedong.

As a native of Hedong, he and Wei Gu are old acquaintances, let alone do such a thing, otherwise he will be despised by the township party.

Furthermore, Shi Sunrui acted as a Weiwei to act as a Taiwei. He was just a Sima under the command of the infantry captain Wei Jie, and his status was far apart.When he expressed his opinion, Shi Sunrui replied, which had already given him face.

No matter how stubborn you are, you are committing a crime.

This is taboo in the military.

Shi Sunrui breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict first, but the army is like water, and it changes constantly. The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted. A certain decision to accept Wei Gu's peace negotiation is a merit and demerit. One person bears it, so don’t worry about it.”

The crowd clapped.

Shi Sunrui immediately arranged the missions of the generals, making sure that Wei Gu had nowhere to go and could only be captured without a fight.

Then, Shi Sunrui wrote a letter in hand and sent someone to Zhuangzhong, ordering Wei Gu to surrender before sunrise.

-

Wei Gu wasn't asleep yet.

He can't sleep.

According to Guo Tu's instruction, he sent a letter of surrender, but he didn't know if the emperor could agree.

Is it possible to exchange Yang Biao for the lives of the entire Wei family?
He thought that at least until tomorrow there would be no results.Unexpectedly, only an hour later, he received a letter from Shi Sunrui.

Sun Rui agreed to his terms.

Surprised and delighted, Wei Gu quickly put on his clothes and rushed to Guo Tu's residence with Shi Sun Rui's reply.

Once again, he was full of admiration for Guo Tu.

What does it mean to say everything?Guo Tu is.

Don't look at him being scolded by Yang Biao and almost ran away, but in terms of strategy, Guo Tu is still a top-notch strategist.

It is worthy of being the think tank valued by Leader Yuan.

Guo Tu didn't sleep either, and was neatly dressed, sitting in front of the desk and reading.

Seeing Wei Gu rushing in with ecstasy on his face, he smiled silently.

"It's done?"

"It's done, it's done." Wei Gu hurriedly sat down opposite Guo Tu, and handed Shi Sun Rui's reply with both hands.

Guo Tu didn't answer, so Wei Gu had to put it on the case.

"It's just...he asked me to leave the village before sunrise."

"you are not willing?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that in this way, how will Guo Jun arrange it?"

"You tied me up and gave it to the emperor, which is also a credit, and maybe there is a reward."

Wei Gu shook his head again and again, he didn't have the courage.

Killing Guo Tu will definitely offend Yuan Shao.In the future, when Yuan Shao conquered the world, how could he be spared.

"Guo Jun, I'll send someone to send you out of the village while it's dark. As long as Guo Jun is still alive, even if I surrender myself to be a slave, I still have hope, and the sun won't be dark."

Guo Tu put down the book, looked at the sincere Wei Gu, and laughed.

He knew that Wei Gu would not dare to kill him.

Because standing behind him is Yuan Shao, the common leader of the world's aristocratic and wealthy families.

The little emperor may be proud for a while, but the world belongs to Yuan Shao after all.

"Then you have to take care." Guo Tu stood up and brushed off his clothes. "Goujian tasted courage, just to swallow Wu. Although you haven't done all the work, after all, you have contributed to the leader of the alliance by stabbing the little emperor's tiger's beard. If you can endure this humiliation, the Hedong Wei family will have a bright future."

Wei Gu was in the middle of his heart, and thanked him again and again.
