Chapter 280 Surrender
Two dappled rays of sunlight pierced through the fence windows, raising countless specks of dust in the cell.

Chen Sheng and Meng Tian sat opposite each other.

One was wearing a black robe and the other was wearing an off-white bunt prison uniform.

One has neat hair and a dignified appearance; the other has disheveled hair and hair and looks indifferent.

The sharpest contrast is formed in the light and dark sky.

Meng Tian poured out a bowl of clear water, pushed it gently in front of Chen Sheng, and said with a light smile, "I heard that you are going to be king?"

Chen Sheng picked up the water bowl, wet his lips, and replied without raising his head, "There is such a thing."

Meng Tian: "Then you should be so busy these few days that you don't touch the ground. How can you have time to visit a certain defeated general?"

Chen Sheng put down the water bowl, glanced at him, and suddenly chuckled: "Why, there is grievance?"

Meng Tian shook his head slightly: "Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, why do you have any complaints?"

Chen Sheng crossed his fingers and asked calmly, "Then what are you insisting on? Is it that your loyalty to the Great Zhou court does not allow you to surrender to me, or is your own morality requiring you to fight for justice?"

"Fighting Festival Death Righteousness?"

Meng Tian chewed on the word, nodded in agreement: "Good word, won a certain heart!"

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "So what?"

"neither!"

Meng Tian first shook his head, then nodded again: "It's all again!"

Chen Sheng sighed lightly, he knew that would be the result.

Meng Tian looked at his undisguised loss and said, "It's you, a certain family has been pondering for a long time in this prison, but still can't figure it out, why do you insist on opposing the imperial court?"

"You say that the government is corrupt, extortionate and extortionate, and you only know how to squeeze the people of Li people, but you don't want to live with the people..."

"This family admits it!"

"But as the saying goes, 'The great tree has dead branches, and the great family has beggars'. Even if there are seven hundred years of accumulation, it is as wide as twelve states. It is normal for the society to be out of balance occasionally!"

"With your talent, if you are willing to join forces with the eldest son, you will not be able to clean up the universe, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and restore the bright world of Kyushu!"

"Why do you want to do this diabolical act?"

"Why can others endure this difficult time?"

"But you can't bear it?"

Chen Sheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This tone sounds familiar.

Why do other people's children get [-]% in the test, but you fail?

Why can someone else's husband get a promotion and a salary increase, but you have been working for so many years and you are still just a small employee?
Why……

How can there be so many whys!
"Do you know how many people have been displaced, how many wives have been separated, and how many people have starved to death?"

Chen Sheng raised his head in one hand and smiled faintly.

Meng Tian was at a loss for words... Yes, he didn't know.

He has been the confidant of the Lu family for three generations. When it is cold, someone sends clothes and charcoal. When thirsty, someone sends water and wine. When hungry, someone sends food and meat. Wall compound!
"And you know, if I didn't rise up to seize the position of the county governor of Chen County, what would be the fate of my Chen family?"

Chen Sheng slowly restrained his smile, and his expression gradually became serious: "Look, you don't know... You don't know the 'temporary suffering' you call it, and falling on the head of Shengdou Xiaomin is a disaster."

"I don't know, for Shengdou Xiaomin, just living alone has exhausted his life's strength. There is really no more strength to be loyal to a king who is not loyal to them, to love a country that does not love them..."

"To put it more bluntly, if it is really only me, Chen Sheng, who has a heart, do you think I can pull up so many confrontational forces from the Great Zhou court?"

"What's the reason for you to think it's our fault when half the people of Kyushu are resisting the tyranny of Da Zhou?"

"Is it our problem, or is it your problem?"

"If you only say that you are 'the honor of the king, the thing of loyalty to the king', I will respect you three points!"

"But you are obviously not helping your relatives, and you have to talk to me about the ignorance of the family and the world. It's a bit shameless to be a bitch and want to set up an archway!"

Meng Tian was stunned by him, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was speechless for a long time.

Chen Sheng was not in a hurry, he held his chin and lowered his head calmly to move the water bowl with his fingers, quietly waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said, "You are really not a good lobbyist!"

"Why do you think I'm trying to persuade you to join me?"

Chen Sheng looked up at him, "Why don't you think I'm giving you a chance to be under my command?"

Meng Tian's eyes twitched, and he looked at Chen Sheng speechlessly, as if to say: I have never seen such a brazen person!
Chen Sheng didn't seem to see his eyes, and said lightly: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I sent the Southern Army to attack Yuzhou, and it will triumph in Chen County tomorrow, and my coronation ceremony is scheduled for September [-], which is three. later!"

"In these three days, I will organize the army and issue military ranks. Well, the so-called military rank, you can understand it as a title!"

"This is your last step to the sky, and your chance to go directly to the position of the commander-in-chief!"

"If you miss this opportunity, even if you are willing to surrender, you have to start from the bottom pawns, accumulate merits level by level and move up, and then you want to go to the position of commander general who leads an army of [-] troops. Three years and five years, and ten years and eight years..."

"I know you must be disdainful of being a soldier under my command."

"Similarly, I don't have many people under my command, such as you, who is full of military tactics, but can only be a soldier who fights and kills the enemy."

"So, today I am here to give you the last chance!"

"You can answer me now!"

"If you are willing to surrender, then everything is easy to say. No matter what conditions you have, you can put it forward. If you can do it, I will do it for you. If you can't do it, I will try my best to do it for you."

"But if you spit out the word 'no' again, I will turn around and leave immediately, and someone will bring you the 'execution meal' later. You eat well, and you can go on the road with peace of mind. If there is an afterlife, yourself Be careful, don't be my enemy anymore..."

"Well, if you die, presumably your Meng family will not reconcile with me in the future, and I can only reluctantly make a feud with your Meng family..."

After speaking, he picked up the water bowl and took a shallow sip, waiting for him to express his stance without looking at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian's eyelids jumped, and after secretly swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, he said with difficulty, "Are you a threat?"

Chen Sheng gave a soft "ha" and said lightly, "You don't have to believe it!"

The long river of time came here, and the flow rate seemed to slow down a thousand times at once, and every minute and second seemed extraordinarily long.

After a long while, Meng Tian sighed heavily, got up and straightened his clothes, pushed Jinshan down on one knee of Yuzhu, clasped his fists and said, "Sinner Meng Tian, ​​see the king!"

Chen Sheng got up, lifted him up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "I have the general's help, as if King Wen is too fair!"
