Sixty Persuasions to Surrender (3)
Seeing Li Quan ask about his door, Shi Miyuan was also a little surprised, glanced at Yang Mizhen, and secretly thought that this woman was also a little unusual, but said in his mouth: "Don't dare, it's still my father." β
Li Quan listened, although they are now hostile to each other, Hua is still the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides are still inextricably linked in secret. The son of the prime minister can't be despised either, so he couldn't help but be polite to Shi Miyuan, and said: "Lord Shi is an official of the Jiankang Imperial Court, and now he is on an errand in the Lin'an Imperial Court, and he is incompatible, but I don't know what the Lord has to do when he comes to see me Li Quan?" β
Shi Miyuan smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing else, just for the interests of the general." β
Li Quan was a little strange and said, "I don't know what's at stake?" β
Shi Miyuan said: "The day before yesterday, my Jiankang Imperial Court issued a public decree, ordering all officials under the command of King Deng that those who surrender to the Jiankang Imperial Court before July 20 can be pardoned for their previous crimes and be subject to official positions as appropriate. But after the twentieth of July, if any more surrenderers were to be denied official positions, the general would have known? β
Li Quan nodded and said, "I know this." β
Shi Miyuan said: "Then what is the general's plan?" β
It turned out that after Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru returned to Jiankang Mansion, they reported to Zhao Chen about meeting and talking with Hua Qingtan, and Zhao Chen and Zhao Qianru also knew that Zhao Wanru insisted on returning to Lin'an to persuade Zhao Kai. After a few people discussed, they felt that they could give it a try, if Zhao Kai could really take the initiative to give up the throne, let him be a rich and idle king, at least he could reduce some wars and losses, and the Great Song Dynasty could settle down earlier.
However, Yang Yan can't have too high hopes for a peaceful settlement, and he should still prepare for war. It's just that the previous deployment of troops in the Jiankang Imperial Court was mainly to resist the Jin army. It will take time to redeploy troops now, so Yang Yan suggested that it is advisable to make an announcement to the Lin'an Mansion to limit it to July 20, and those who were able to surrender to the imperial court before can be pardoned for their past crimes and remain in official positions. It can be regarded as leaving enough time for Hua Qingtan and Zhao Wanru. During this time, the Jiankang Imperial Court was just able to mobilize military horses and arrange arrangements.
After Zhao Kai received the public message from the Jiankang Mansion, he naturally disdained it, but mobilized military horses and prepared to attack Jiankang. But the civil and military ministers under him have their own ghosts, and everyone is turning their hearts and minds, considering what is best for them.
The reason for this is Liu Bao, Shao Hongyuan, and Li Quan, the three generals, and they can all see that Zhao Kai is at an obvious disadvantage in terms of the strength comparison between the two sides. But if he went to the Jiankang Imperial Court, he had no future, and no one was sure whether Zhao Chen would come to settle accounts after the autumn. And now the three of them have a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands, and they feel that they can talk to the Jiankang Imperial Court about the conditions, since they want to sell it, they might as well sell it at a good price. Therefore, although the three generals were all a little tempted, they all calmly watched the development of the situation, and no one was willing to take the initiative to show favor to the Jiankang court.
Therefore, when Li Quan heard Shi Miyuan ask like this, his heart moved, knowing that Shi Miyuan was here to persuade Zi Miyuan to surrender, thinking of this, Li Quan couldn't help but be excited, this is the Jiankang Imperial Court took the initiative to come to him, and did not promise himself any conditions. But his face was still silent, and he said: "In the lower food of the king's Lu, naturally do the thing of loyalty to the king, King Deng is not kind to me Li Quan, I am about to repay with death, how can I do this unrighteous thing?" β
Shi Miyuan smiled slightly and said: "The general's words are wrong, the general is a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, not the private minister of King Deng, loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and the public." Loyal to King Deng, private. What is injustice when selfishness is abolished for the sake of public service? β
Li Quan was stunned and said, "Isn't King Deng the king of the Great Song Dynasty?" β
Shi Miyuan laughed and said: "I don't go around in circles with the general, King Xin and King Deng can be the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, but the emperor who becomes the emperor and the loser is the thief, it depends on whether the general chooses to take refuge in the emperor or the thief." β
Li Quan very much agreed with Shi Miyuan's words in his heart, and said: "Then Master Shi thinks that among King Xin and King Deng, who will be the emperor and who will be the thief?" β
When Shi Miyuan heard Li Quan's words, his heart was settled, and he said, "I would like to ask the general, how many ways does King Xin have now." β
Li Quandao: "Thirteen roads." β
"What about King Deng?" "Three-way."
"Let me ask the general, who can win against the land of thirteen roads with the land of three roads?" ββ¦β¦β
Shi Miyuan smiled slightly, and then asked: "Does the general know how many people and horses are under King Deng's command now?" β
"About 1780,000."
"King Xin's wave has more than 500,000 soldiers."
Li Quan was stunned for a while, and then said: "If there is little land and few soldiers, it may not be impossible to win the world, and since ancient times, it is not a few people who have defeated the strong with the weak." β
Shi Miyuan said: "Then ask the general again, now in front of the king's tent, it is Yang Juma who commands the army, I don't know who is the leader under King Deng?" β
Li Quandao: "It is Mr. Zongzong who is in the middle of the dispatch, and below, Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan are fighting on the right side." β
Shi Miyuan said: "The general asked himself, can the way of using troops be as good as Yang Yuma?" β
Li Quan shook his head and said, "Yang Horse is like a god with soldiers, and he has always admired it, but it is really not as good." β
"What about Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan?" Not as well. β
"Zong Tianxuan?" Not as good as. β
Shi Miyuan laughed and said: "Compared with King Xin, King Deng is not as wide as the land, there are not as many soldiers, and he will not be able to do it, who does the general think is the emperor and who is the thief?" β
Li Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Whoever becomes an emperor must believe in the king." β
Shi Miyuan said lightly: "At this point, is the general still obsessed?" At the time of the arrival, the emperor promised that if the general surrendered, he would be awarded the title of Zuowu Doctor and concurrently the governor of Taizhou's soldiers and horses. The general's subordinates should remain under the jurisdiction of the general. β
Li Quan was slightly stunned, Doctor Zuo Wu was only a sixth grade, and the Taizhou Soldiers and Horses Governor was only a local military attachΓ©, obviously far from Li Quan's expectations, and sighed, and said: "My lord's words made me Li Quan pull out the clouds and mist to show the blue sky." It's just that King Deng treats Li Quan very kindly, and he is appointed as an envoy of moderation, which really makes me unbearable to abandon him. β
What kind of person Shi Miyuan was, he immediately heard that Li Quan thought that the official position given by the Jiankang court was too small. This time, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come down to Li Quan. Because Shi Miyuan saw that Zhao Chen obviously wanted to do something. And an emperor who wants to do something will inevitably appoint a group of ministers with practical ability, and the promotion of Xin Qiji, Zhao Ruyu and others is an obvious signal. Shi Miyuan is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Li Quan, just to show his ability like the emperor. Of course, this is just the beginning, as long as the emperor thinks that he has the ability, he will give himself some more important things to do in the future, and he will have the opportunity to make contributions, climb up step by step, and finally achieve the goal of taking charge of the government.
Among Liu Bao, Shao Hongyuan, and Li Quan, Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan were all quite qualified in the army before, and they were all generals who were in charge of their own affairs, and Zhao Kai received their official positions in the Lin'an Imperial Court. It is impossible for the Jiankang Imperial Court to give the same conditions, as the so-called Li Ling Zhi is faint, so he may not be sure to obey them.
Since Li Quan returned to the Song Dynasty, he has only served as a middle-level general, and on the contrary, it is easy to be satisfied. Therefore, Shi Miyuan thought that as long as he pointed out the benefits and disadvantages to Li Quan, he believed that he could accept this condition, so he chose Li Quan as the object of service among the three. Seeing Li Quan like this, Shi Miyuan immediately said: "Does the general think that staying in Lin'an can help King Deng win?" β
Li Quan shook his head and said, "No." β
Shi Miyuan said lightly: "Since it can't, then when King Deng is defeated, it is the day of the general's death, even if King Deng makes the general king, what's the use, in the end it is still empty, the general is not a fool, how can he still be so obsessed." β
Li Quan suddenly realized that he finally realized that he actually did not have the capital to negotiate conditions with the Jiankang court. Zhao Kai's defeat was a matter of time, and the only thing he could do was to surrender to the Jiankang Imperial Court as soon as possible, regardless of any conditions. Therefore, he exchanged a look with Yang Miaozhen, and saw that Yang Miaozhen also nodded slightly, knowing that his wife also agreed to surrender to the Jiankang court.
Suddenly, Li Quan knelt down in front of Shi Miyuan and said: "Li Quan is a martial artist, fortunately with the guidance of adults, he was able to avoid a catastrophe of killing, and now he is willing to surrender." It is said that if there is a day in the future, it is all the grace of adults. β
Shi Miyuan was overjoyed, in fact, he came to persuade Li Quan this time, and he also took a lot of risks. Although Li Quan is the most confident of the three generals of Lin'an Mansion, who knows if Li Quan will have other ideas, in case Li Quan is angry, he will kill himself, or arrest himself and give it to Zhao Kai for disposal. But now it seems that he clearly made the right bet. Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward, helped Li Quan up, and said: "The general is too polite, as the so-called person who knows the practice is Junjie, the general's move is still to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and in the future, he will be a minister of the same palace with Miyuan, so there is no need to do this." β
After Li Quan got up, he said: "Li is a rude person, and his behavior is inevitably inconsiderate, so I will ask the adults to take care of him in the court in the future." β
Shi Miyuan's heart moved, after he succeeded in lowering Li Quan, he would definitely improve, and he would slowly pull some helpers. And after this Li Quangui surrendered, although he was only an intermediate general, after all, he would have some men and horses in his hands, and now it seems that this person is quite shrewd, and he also has a team under him, and he may not be just a local soldier and horse supervisor in the future. It would also be of great benefit if we could draw him in as a supporter, form a party membership, and echo each other externally. And in times of danger in the future, it may be of great use. Therefore, he said: "General Li's words are serious, and he is familiar with General Li at first sight, if the general does not give up, he is willing to become brothers with the general, and share blessings and misfortunes, what does the general think?" β
Li Quan couldn't help but be a little flattered, he was also trying to find a backer in the court, and said: "How dare Li climb high." β
Shi Miyuan laughed and said: "General Li's words, let people line up the incense case, and we will bow down." βγ
