Chapter 597: Conditions (II)
Mu Qing replied with some horror: "The city lord has explained this matter, the city lord means that in order to avoid senseless sacrifices for the soldiers and the people in the city, the city lord is willing to hand over Guangyuan City, but we also have conditions." ”
Yuan Fang pouted: "What conditions?" I advise you to think clearly before you speak, if you dare to say anything excessive, don't blame me for not reminding you, there is only one chance, you should take advantage of it. ”
Without waiting for Mu Qing to speak, the guards outside the account reported loudly: "General, General Tang Jian and General Shi Ping have arrived outside Guangyuan City, and now our army is stationed five miles northeast. ”
Yuan Fang said loudly: "Order Tang Jian and Shi Ping to prepare siege equipment and attack the city late at night. The guards answered the order and went out of the big tent.
Mu Qing's face changed greatly, and his expression when he looked at Yuan Fang was in disbelief, he thought that he was asking for peace, well, throw it to, and the other party would be so happy, but he didn't expect that this guy who looked elegant and spoke sharply was a militant in his bones, what did this guy do? Do you want to slaughter the city? Thinking of this, Mu Qing's face turned pale, and he hurriedly spoke: "My lord, we don't have excessive requirements, we just hope that your lord can guarantee our property and personal safety, and allow us to join the Eastern Saint Empire, just find a safe place to live." Mu Qing was in a hurry, and he actually left behind a lot of conditions that Wang Yong had explained before leaving, and only put forward the most basic requirements, he was really frightened by Yuan Fang.
Suddenly, Mu Qing thought of something, and then said, "By the way, the city lord is willing to hand over Prince Dugufeng to your lordship. ”
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and asked in wonder: "Dugufeng?" Isn't he dead? ”
Mu Qing said with a strange expression: "This, I can't say it well, His Royal Highness the Prince did die before, but I don't know what happened and then he lived again, then he died again, and he lived again yesterday, and we can't figure out whether he is dead or alive until now." ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What is dead and alive, alive and dead?" What the hell is going on? ”
Mu Qing carefully talked about Dugu Feng's death and resurrection, and finally told Yuan Fang that although Dugu Feng looked lifeless now, he was dead but not stiff, and he might be able to come back to life when he would.
This statement made Yuan Fang cry and laugh inexplicably, the poison was a lot of poison he got from the military doctor mixed together, I didn't expect that there was such an effect, it can make people die and die, but it's also quite fun.
After a while, Tang Jian and Shi Ping, who received the siege order, hurried over, the two of them were very puzzled by Yuan Fang's order, they had just arrived, the soldiers had not yet repaired, and there were still many things to prepare, why did Yuan Fang order the siege of the city, was it too hasty? However, when the two of them entered the big tent, saw Mu Qing and learned from Yuqing's mouth that Mu Qing was coming, they suddenly realized, and they also cooperated with the siege plan, which made Mu Qing tremble.
Yuan Fang and Tang Jian discussed the siege plan as if no one was around, and Mu Qing was completely taken as air, so anxious that Mu Qing scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't dare to interject, his eyes for help glanced at Yuqing from time to time, he felt that these people were all crazy, only this female general was normal.
Yuqing did not disappoint Mu Qing, and after listening to Yuan Fang's plan discussed for a while, she glanced at Mu Qing, and then said to Yuan Fang: "Brother-in-law, should we also consider Mu Qing's proposal?" ”
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said, "Damn, I almost forgot about it when I chatted for a while." Mu Qing's eyes rolled wildly, who are these people? All of them are fucking war maniacs? Mu Qing is completely thrown, there is such a group of enemies who only have killing in their heads, I don't know if it is the sorrow of Guangyuan City or the nightmare of the empire, at this time he has no luck, he just wants to reach an agreement as soon as possible, and quickly leave this place of right and wrong with his wife and children all these years, away from these unreasonable outlaws.
Mu Qing looked at Yuan Fang expectantly and uneasily, and asked, "My lord, what do you think of our conditions?" ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have to think about this again, in this way, you go back first, send Dugufeng over and then talk about the rest, by the way, let your city lord come over in person next time." ”
Yuan Fang muttered very dissatisfiedly: "I want to talk, but I don't come over by myself, I only sent a follower, and I have no sincerity at all." ”
Mu Qing felt a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend and said: "My lord misunderstood, I'm not a follower, in fact, in fact, the city lord is my brother-in-law, if you have any ideas, just tell me, I will definitely bring the words to my brother-in-law." ”
Yuan Fang looked Mu Qing up and down again when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, it turned out that it was still a relative, so it would be easy to do, just now you said your conditions, now I will talk about my conditions." Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had directly expressed his relationship with the city lord just now, why bother to be so nervous, Mu Qing didn't dare to slack off, and listened to it.
Yuan Fang discussed with Yuqing, Tang Jian, and Shi Ping in a whisper, and finally Yuqing spoke: "Our request is very simple, this war was provoked by you first, and our Eastern Saint Empire had to send troops to resist in order to protect itself, and now you are willing to surrender to and abandon the darkness Our Eastern Saint Empire is very welcome, of course, our ideas do not represent the empire, so you have to wait for Your Majesty to decide on the matter of joining my Eastern Saint Empire, and I have to make this clear to you first." ”
In this regard, Mu Qing had already prepared, of course this kind of thing was not something that these generals could determine, and for Wang Yong, it didn't matter if he joined the Eastern Sage Empire or not, ensuring the safety of their lives and property was the most important thing, with money, they could continue to enjoy a luxurious life wherever they went.
Yuqing continued: "Since you have no objection, then I will talk about our conditions, first, you must open the city before midnight, second, let your city lords order Kaiyuan, Yuhong, Liusha and Luoxian to give up resistance, third, hand over all the food, ordnance and property in each city, fourth, explain the military deployment of the Ningyuan Empire in Anping County, and fifth, cooperate with our army in the next series of military operations, well, that's all for the time being." ”
Yuan Fang coughed lightly and said, "Let me add, you still have to come forward to help pacify the people in the city, I think your city lord won't refuse this kind of trivial matter, right?" ”
Mu Qing thought about it in his heart, although Yuqing's conditions were a little vague, but they were generally within the range of bearing, only one point, Mu Qing felt that he should ask clearly, so he first nodded to Yuan Fang and said that there was no problem in appeasing the people, and then asked: "That, generals, the third point I just said, it's no problem to hand over the grain, grass and ordnance, but I don't know that the property package you said does not include the personal property of our generals?" ”
