Prosperous advisors

Chapter 725 Persuading surrender, the usefulness of the new emperor (1)
"See Your Majesty!"

Rong Jin waved his hands lightly and said, "Pingshen, sit down."

After everyone was seated, they began to discuss the affairs of Huaguo's capital.Rong Jin asked directly, "Look, General, how long will it take for our army to capture the capital of Huaguo?"

Everyone looked at Nangongjue, Nangongjue pondered for a moment and said: "In my humble opinion, unless there is a conspiracy, it will be difficult to capture the capital of Huaguo within two or three months." Huo Yuanfang frowned and said: "Daddy!" General, it only took us more than two months to fight from the border town to the bottom of Huaguo's imperial city, so is this mere imperial city more difficult to fight than half of Huaguo?"

Nangong Jue shook his head with a smile and said: "You young people... really have never fought a tough battle. This time, our army sent troops unexpectedly, and the Northern Han Dynasty attacked at the same time, making China's defense unprepared. It can be regarded as two countries attacking China at the same time. What's more, the Emperor Hua didn't pay much attention to the military these years, and the combat power of the Hua Kingdom has been declining. You know, in the early years, let alone an imperial city, it was just an ordinary city. If the guards are effective, the soldiers will be united It is not strange to fight for two or three months. It is Zhao Ziyu who is now defending the city of Huaguo. I heard that when he faced the Northern Han Dynasty, he led 20 soldiers and horses to besiege a small city. He couldn’t go down, and in the end he led more than 1 soldiers and horses to break out of the siege. If you encounter such a battle, even 20 people will not be able to trap him.”

Not only Ge Shuhan, but also Nangong Absolute Zhao Ziyu's evaluation is quite high.Although he had never met Zhao Ziyu, among the young generals in the world today, only Zhao Ziyu and Ge Shuhan could catch Nangong Jue's eyes.Even Nangong Yu's son, who can be regarded as a rising star of Xiyue, is far from enough in Nangong Jue's eyes.

Rong Jin sighed and said, "It really was a tough battle. Not to mention the strong defense of Huaguo Imperial City, even the underground is covered with marble, even if you want to enter from the underground, it is impossible."

Nangong Jue nodded and said: "That's true. The old minister has also studied some. There are 76 gates in the nine inner and outer parts of the capital of Huaguo. Although the inner city is not as strong and towering as the outer city, it is no worse than ordinary cities. That is to say, even if We have broken through the outer city. If Hua Guo is determined not to surrender, we must continue to attack the inner city. Street fighting is likely to occur at that time... In this way, even if Xiyue captures the capital, at least half of them will be lost troops."

Everyone present could not help but take a breath.Half of the soldiers and horses are 50 people. At that time, I am afraid that the blood will dye the entire Huaguo capital in blood red.Everyone's expressions became serious, and a veteran said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the army of the Northern Han Dynasty tried to attack the Zhengbei Gate, and lost nearly ten thousand people in the first battle."

Everyone was silent, just a tentative attack would damage tens of thousands of people, if it is really a large-scale attack, it is unknown how many people will die.Wars are fought with human lives. They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that the expected victory will not be exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers.

"What does the general think?" Rong Jin asked.

Nangong Jue nodded, and said lightly: "There is only one word - "drag". Huaguo Imperial City is indeed big, but it suddenly accommodated twice as many people in a short period of time. According to the guess of the veteran, even if the people in the city No matter how plentiful the food is, we won’t be able to hold on for three months. As long as the morale of the army and the people are in turmoil, that’s our chance. It’s too difficult to take this city by violence.” It’s not that it’s impossible, but the cost is too high .Once the sacrifice of Xiyue soldiers exceeds a certain level, it will be another disaster after the city is broken.

Rong Jin nodded, looked at the generals and said, "Did you understand what the general said? After you go back, restrain your soldiers and horses. Don't lose your last name after winning two battles."

"The last general obeys!" Everyone said in unison.

After the crowd retreated, only Mu Qingyi, Rong Jin and Nangong Jue were left in the big tent. Nangong Jue just looked at Rong Jin and said, "Your Majesty must have had something in mind about the siege of the city?" Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled. Said: "Nothing can be hidden from General Nangong."

Nangong Jue was also a little curious, he naturally understood that Rong Jin waved away everyone but left him alone, so he didn't intend to hide it from him.While feeling grateful for Rong Jin's trust in his heart, Nangong Jue was also curious about how Rong Jin could take the capital of Huaguo without bloodshed.

Rong Jin looked at Nangong Jue, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What does the general think of Zhao Ziyu?"

Nangong Jue was stunned, but quickly realized, "Your Majesty wants to recruit this person? I'm afraid it's not easy. But... If it can be done, I, Xiyue, will definitely add another general. Your Majesty already has Is there a way?"

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Whether my solution will work or not depends on whether the people in the city are capable."

Nangong Jue frowned and said: "Your Majesty sent someone into the city to lobby Zhao Ziyu, this method... I'm afraid it won't work."

Rong Jin shook his head and smiled: "No, I will naturally not find anyone to lobby him. Since the general said that Zhao Ziyu is a general, wouldn't I belittle him by sending someone to persuade him to surrender?" Nangong Jue looked at Rong in doubt Jin, Rong Jin looked at Mu Qingyi with a smile and said, "Qingqing, guess."

Mu Qingyi gave him a helpless look, and said lightly, "What's there to guess? Since your Majesty didn't send someone to lobby Zhao Ziyu, then he sent someone to make trouble for Zhao Ziyu." I have to say, Ninth Young Master There is no lower limit to how bad it can be.For example, at this time, he obviously wanted to take Zhao Ziyu for his own use, but he had to try his best to frame him first.Mu Qingyi had to suspect that Rong Jin let Zhao Ziyu go in the Xiyue Imperial City but left Murong Ke behind in order to make arrangements for today.

"Qingqing is really smart." Rong Jin praised with a smile.

Nangongjue next to him suddenly realized, and looked at the handsome young man with a pleasant smile in surprise.With such means, it is no wonder that he was able to stand out from the many princes of the late emperor.After thinking about it, Nangong Jue also nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but Your Majesty still needs to be careful, don't force Zhao Ziyu too much..." Most generals have a strong temper, and if they are forced too hard, they will let Zhao Ziyu... If Zhao Ziyu committed suicide, it would be a failure.

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I really thought about this a long time ago, don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can absolutely guarantee that Zhao Ziyu will not die." If Xia Xiuzhu saw that Zhao Ziyu was still dead, then It can only show that Zhao Ziyu really deserves to die.

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking of Xia Xiuzhu who had been away for a long time.So Xia Xiuzhu went back to protect Zhao Ziyu's safety?If Xia Xiuzhu was there, Zhao Ziyu's safety would indeed not be a problem.

Rong Jin looked at Mu Qingyi with a smile, and blinked at her as if asking for credit.Mu Qingyi sighed helplessly, and glared at him angrily.Seeing the silent interaction between the two, Nangong Jue, who was sitting next to him, was puzzled for a while.It seems that he is really old, and he doesn't understand what the young people are thinking now.Nangong Jue sighed helplessly in his heart.
