Su Ziji entered the cottage again, and was not led to the hall, but went to the big tent.

There was a circle of armored soldiers outside the tent, and when they saw him coming, the soldiers who opened the tent reminded in a low voice: "My lord has been waiting for you, Master Su." ”

Su Ziji nodded and walked in.

Cui Zhaoquan was standing with his hands behind his back at the moment, facing in, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he heard the voice, he turned around.

"Here you are, sit. ”

Following the soldiers who came in, they hurriedly moved a round stool over, and Su Ziji thanked him and sat down.

Cui Zhaoquan also sat down at this time, looked at Su Ziji, and asked directly: "Actually, there is one thing, the old man has always wanted to ask you, are you and Zhao Gonggong Zhao an old acquaintance?"

Unexpectedly, Cui Zhaoquan suddenly asked about this, Su Ziji sighed in his heart, knowing that Cui Zhaoquan was still suspicious, with this person's power, he really wanted to check some news, and he could find it when he went back, and he didn't need to hide and lie for this kind of thing.

"Yes, when the student was in the provincial academy before, he had seen Zhao Gonggong. ”

As he spoke, he skipped the details related to his identity and told him all the situations that could be found at a glance.

"Quang Ling Province...... Yes, I was to Guangling Province at that time......" Cui Zhaoquan thought about it for a moment and nodded suddenly.

Looking at it like this, it seems that he believed what Su Ziji said, and briefly talked about the matter of clearing the horse team, and he also agreed with it.

"It's rare for Gonggong Zhao to trust you, and he actually left a hundred households in the imperial city with the county soldiers to listen to your dispatch, I have heard about the horse team, you did the right thing, several horse teams were bold and reckless, and they were not eradicated in time, I am afraid that it will become a hidden danger now." ”

"The students only happened to receive information from 100 households. Su Ziji said.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Cui Zhaoquan asked without saying whether he believed it or not.

Su Ziji replied without hesitation: "One hundred and seventy villages in the southwest, the students read the information, and they originally felt strange, although they are a clan, but this clan has a lot of water, and there are great contradictions with each other, and there are conflicts and fights every year. ”

"Why did it happen that in these years, they joined forces and became one?"

"You mean, someone supports it?" Cui Zhaoquan frowned and stared at Su Ziji: "You say more detail, who is the support?"

Su Ziji shook his head: "The student is just an apprentice, how can he know the inside story, and the file is also limited, so it can't be detailed, but I know it according to common sense, which is a bit unusual." ”

Cui Zhaoquan raised his face slightly and thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and said: "Or these cottages in the southwest coincided with the luck of the season, and the lord of a clan came out." ”

Su Ziji smiled: "What the adults said is that even if it is an ordinary family, if they meet the luck number, they can also soar, let alone a family?"

"It's just that even if you have the gas, you have to do your best. ”

Cui Zhaoquan agrees with this, Confucianism is this, obey the mandate of heaven and do his best.

Su Ziji's words gradually became cold: "In history, there are people who have died in the world in two generations, and they can win the world, how can they not have the mandate of heaven, and the death of the second generation is a blessing, not to mention that it is not a lack of personnel?"

"Even if the enemy chief responds to some gas, after two and a half years of fighting, the cottage has not benefited, just dead people, and recently the cottage has dropped by more than 20 and opened a gap. ”

"This attack, if it wins, it can be saved, but now it has retreated halfway, lost the battle, and the damage is not small, I am afraid that the prestige will fall sharply, and it will be difficult to control. ”

"In my opinion, there is not much way out for this enemy chieftain, and the student thinks that he is afraid that he will beg to surrender. ”

After all, he had been fighting for two years before coming to the southwest, and the southwest already had the intention of negotiating peace, and this time he wanted to capture Qincha alive, not necessarily to increase the bargaining chips for the peace.

With the strength of the enemy chieftain, it is impossible to enter the capital, right?

Since he couldn't beat Da Zheng and took enough benefits to go back, it was also not in vain for two years, and he also had an explanation internally.

Cui Zhaoquan actually thought the same thing, looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but ask again: "If you beg to surrender, what do you think should be done?"

"The students are just attachés, and they have no experience in this area, so they dare not speak up. Although Su Ziji had an idea, he was still modest.

Cui Zhaoquan waved his hand: "Hey, why should you be humble? I asked you, and you answered." ”

Su Ziji said: "You can accept the surrender of the thief army, after all, it has been more than two years, and the court also hopes to end the war as soon as possible, and the emperor is looking forward to good news." ”

"But not all of them. ”

Cui Zhaoquan suddenly got up and walked a few steps, and then said after a while: "Oh? Let's talk about it, this can't be accepted in its entirety, why don't you accept the Fa, and how do you accept the Fa if you accept begging?"

Su Ziji replied: "First of all, even if the enemy army begs to surrender, we can't let the enemy chief take the initiative, our army can accept peace talks, and argue with it, this reason is very natural, we can't be self-dictatorated, we must ask the imperial court, which is equivalent to forgiving the enemy chieftain with confidence." ”

At the same time, we will continue to send emissaries to contact the Sincere Surrender Cottages and accept their surrender. ”

"When all the cottages that are willing to surrender have been surrendered, and the rest are the cottages that refuse to surrender, then you can send a letter to the enemy chieftain, saying that we heard that a certain cottage is an iron-hearted thief, and it is stained with the blood of officers and soldiers, and we can't help but give an explanation to the court and the officers and soldiers. ”

"Peace talks are okay, as long as the enemy chief kills the owner of the cottage, our army can accept it. ”

"On the contrary, if you don't want to kill the thief, it means that you don't surrender sincerely, and you don't have sincerity, so how can I explain to the court?"

"I believe that by then, the tide has turned, and the enemy chieftain will compromise. ”

When Cui Zhaoquan heard this, he was taken aback, sighed after thinking about it, and said, "I will consider the specific plan, you go back first." ”

Then let Su Ziji retire.

Su Ziji walked away, walked a few steps, looked back at the big tent, couldn't help sighing, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

In the past, Cui Zhaoquan regarded himself as a nephew, but the so-called closeness is now heavy and thick, don't look at the increase in attention, but there is an invisible separation.

Although Su Ziji didn't know, only a few hundred steps away, there was a person he knew, who emitted exactly the same emotion as himself, but he also shook his head, and after a few more steps, he heard the noise from the distance.

"Oh, what's going on up there?" asked a casual grabber.

The man said: "I heard that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are many horse teams in the southwest that spontaneously ship goods to our army, and the goods are very cheap, and everyone is very happy." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect to kill four horse gangs, and the other horse teams were so frightened that they hurriedly curryed favor. Su Ziji turned his eyes and saw a familiar person in the horse team, who was Yedaoren, and couldn't help but smile.

After walking for a while, I heard shouting, and then someone asked: "Childe, it's almost the New Year's Festival, do you want to buy some New Year's goods?"

"Of course, go to my account and tell me, what kind of goods do you have?" Su Ziji said, feeling at ease, and finally met again.
