When everyone heard this, no matter what their mood was, they all showed joy, and they all stood up and raised their wine glasses, and drank it with Xiao Ruxun.

After that, Xiao Ruxun clapped his hands, and a group of musicians entered the tent and began to play beautiful music.

"Today's feast, you can drink, but there can be no women in the army, and you can't offer dance music, but there is music, in the past, Confucius didn't know the taste of meat for music in March, and today I will be vassally elegant once, take advantage of this momentum, and carry out this banquet!"

Xiao Ruxun said with a smile, causing everyone to laugh.

At the beginning of the banquet, a group of civil officials enjoyed the music while eating and drinking, looking very happy, but from time to time they exchanged heads, you said a word to me, and then glanced at Xiao Ruxun, but the generals looked much more relaxed and happy, with a happy look, eating meat and drinking in a big bowl.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was almost drunk, and I felt that I should be drunk if I drank it again, Xiao Ruxun clapped his hands at the right time, and then a soldier came in and took away all the wine, and the musicians also bowed and retreated.

"The war has not ended, just drink a little, don't get drunk."

Xiao Ruxun said slowly: "Today's banquet, the key is not to listen to music, eat and drink, but to discuss how to solve the last obstacle in front of us next.

The walls of the capital are tall, and it is obviously not the best strategy to attack, not to mention that there are still many innocent people in the city, as well as His Majesty and the Queen Mother, they cannot afford to lose, we must discuss a more secure method. ”

After Xiao Ruxun finished speaking, everyone below had different thoughts.

Li Rusong was the first to stand up.

"Dashuai, as long as you say a word, Lao Li will immediately lead his troops into the Beijing Division and screw off Shen Cheng's head!"

Li Rusong said this very heroically, and many generals immediately applauded him.

Zhao Hu seemed to agree with the idea.

"Marshal, what General Li said is right, although the city wall of Jingshi is tall, in the final analysis, it is also a city, our army of 200,000 people, the soldiers are well-fed, and the army is well-equipped, can we not help a city? Even if you use the Hongyi cannon to blast at the city wall, you can blast him out of the city! ”

Zhao Hu's suggestion was applauded even more by the generals.

The civil officials were silent and silent, and looked at Xiao Ruxun.

Ye Mengxiong, as the head of the civil officials present, of course could not let this kind of thinking occupy the mainstream.

"General Li, General Zhao, just say these things, don't really do it, there are His Majesty and the Queen Mother in the Beijing Division, there are more than a million people, and a large number of important facilities and institutions, these are not to be lost, the war is together, I don't know how much to lose, until the last resort, attacking the city with troops is the next policy."

Yuan Huang also hurriedly said: "The old man also agrees with Ye Gong's opinion, attacking the city with troops is the next policy, and attacking the heart is the best policy, if Shen is advised to open the city and surrender to sincerity, and the war can be solved without using swords and guns, why do you have to pay so many sacrifices?" ”

Xiao Ruxun laughed.

"Hahaha, that's right! You can't have anything else in your head but swords, guns, and halberds? What kind of place is Jingshi? As courtiers, can we attack the Jingshi casually? What's more, His Majesty and the Queen Mother are still trapped by traitors in the capital, your fight has forced the Shen thief to a dead end, what if he jumps off the wall in a hurry? If something happens, which of you can afford to take responsibility? ”

Seeing that Xiao Ruxun had painlessly vetoed the generals' opinion of attacking the city, Ye Mengxiong and Yuan Huang were greatly relieved.

"Ji Xin, the old man has a suggestion."

Ye Mengxiong said.

"Ye Gong, please speak."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

Ye Mengxiong said slowly: "The old man's suggestion is that the old man personally come forward, enter the city to negotiate with Shen Chengyi, and persuade Shen Zheng to open the city gate and end this war, so that the army can solve the war without fighting, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Ye Gong can't."

Xiao Ruxun shook his head solemnly and said: "Shen has always been this thief, I will definitely not let go, I will definitely kill him, I will not let go of Your Majesty, this person forced the monarch to abdicate and rebelled, he will die, at this moment Ye Gong entered the city, it is tantamount to persuading him to hand over his life, can he agree?"

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry, Shen has always been old, but in terms of insidious and vicious, how can Ye Gong be his opponent? In case he hijacks Ye Gong as a bargaining chip to blackmail me, what should I do? ”

Ye Mengxiong hurriedly said: "Things have come to this point, Shen Cheng himself should be conscious, he should know what his fate is, at this moment, if Shen Cheng can be persuaded to do so, this battle can be over, and the people of Daming will no longer have to suffer from the war, but can live and work in peace and contentment, what is the safety of the old man?" ”

"Ye Gong!"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said: "Ye Gong is worried about the country and the people, Xiao understands, but Ye Gong, Shen is not the only one in this city, Shen has always rebelled, how many people have resisted in the Manchu Dynasty?" It's all a bunch of rebels!

Maybe Shen has always been old, all thoughts are lost, and it doesn't matter if he dies, but some people, for their own power and life, even if Shen always agrees, they probably won't agree, Shen has always been in great decline, and it is long gone, whether Shen has always been in charge of this city or not, we don't know. ”

Xiao Ruxun's words were reasonable, Ye Mengxiong and Yuan Huang were stunned, looked at each other, and showed hesitation, and the civil and military generals also exchanged their heads with each other, as if they felt that what Xiao Ruxun said was very reasonable.

Yes, it is difficult to say whether Shen has always been in charge of this city at the moment, and if it is no longer Shen has always been in charge, then the situation will change.

All in all, if the army surrounds the Beijing Division for one day, there is a lot more possibility of variables in the Beijing Division, and now everyone doesn't know what is happening inside the Beijing Division, how can they rest assured that Ye Mengxiong can enter the city to persuade him to surrender?

Speaking of which, Ye Mengxiong didn't have any ideas.

Xiao Ruxun said: "At this moment, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, let's first find out whether Shen is always in charge of this city, if so, we must think about how to stabilize his emotions, and then consider the matter of breaking the city."

Mobilize troops to attack the city, that is, unless the people in the capital are obsessed, and we have to do these things in order to protect Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to move troops to attack the city, and the generals should keep in mind. ”

As soon as Xiao Ruxun finished speaking, Zhao Hu spoke.

"Dashuai, we have the advantage, but can't we make a difference?"

Xiao Ruxun sighed, stood up and walked in front of Zhao Hu, patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder, looked at Zhao Hu, and also looked at the generals behind him.

"Our situation is no longer the same, and we can't do things according to our previous ideas, we must know how to restrain ourselves, you know? Restrained. ”

Xiao Ruxun said slowly.

Zhao Hu nodded.

"I see."

Then Qi Dayong walked behind Zhao Hu and began to take off Zhao Hu's clothes.

To be precise, Qi Dayong helped Zhao Hu remove a piece of soft armor that he was wearing outside.

Odd.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Zhao Hu who was unloading his armor strangely: "Zhao Hu, is it difficult, do you want to unload your armor and return to the field?" ”

Everyone was looking at Zhao Hu.

I saw that after his soft armor was removed, a cloth bag attached to his chest and stomach was picked up by him, and then, he opened the cloth bag, took out an ochre yellow robe, quickly draped it on Xiao Ruxun's body, and then immediately knelt on the ground.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!!"
