Chapter 368 Who are they fighting?
Wei Dong said, "Your Excellency has always been kind and generous. The last thing he wants is the waste of time in a civil war. If possible, we can avoid this battle and send someone to persuade Peng Jiang to surrender."
Dou Ye's expression became serious and he nodded heavily.
Now he understood why Lu Xueyin agreed to his surrender.
Lu Xueyin didn't want the common people to die in vain. The Yilin Army was originally a group of common people.
Wei Dong thought for a moment and said, "I remember Peng Jiang has several children. Find one of them and ask him to persuade his father."
Dou Ye: "..."
Surgery is a good idea.
Ever since Peng Jiang became wealthy, he'd taken in many women and had many children, including several as young as eight or nine. Even Weidong was helpless when Dou Ye pulled Peng Jiang's children out.
Weidong found someone who was eloquent and asked him to persuade his father: "All the conditions promised to him before are valid. As long as there is peace in the world and General Peng is willing to surrender, Lord Lu will ensure that he will have a safe and secure life for the rest of his life."
Wei Dong patiently coaxed him: "Persuade your father well. I heard that your father loved you very much in the past. Only then will he listen to what you say. Just ask your father, does he still want to rescue his concubines? The good days are still ahead, why bother to confront the court head-on? It would be wonderful to surrender as soon as possible and live with your wife and children. And his mother, our Lord Lu will not take her life, but our Lord Lu cannot support the enemy's mother with good food and drink. What will you brothers and sisters do then?" He didn't feel that he was scaring the child at all: "A child like you can only be a slave to others, and you will be beaten, scolded, and not given food."
The child blinked his eyes, and then... burst into tears.
Wei Dong: "...You, don't cry, I'm warning you, don't cry, are you watching him? He's very fierce, he will hit you."
The child cried even harder.
Wei Dong: “…”
Finally, Ji Ping had a headache from crying and yelled, "Stop crying!"
Weidong stood up and said, "These Pengjiang kids are no good. None of them are smart."
Finally, I changed it to a bigger one, which at least wouldn’t be scared to tears, and then put it back to pass on the message.
Wei Dong sighed. How can I put it? I can only say that there are always many bumps on the road to achieving great things.
Wei Dong turned around and saw Ji Ping looking thoughtful.
Wei Dong asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Ping came back to his senses: "Nothing, I was just thinking, children are really annoying, they cry at the slightest provocation."
Dou Ye's face darkened, and he couldn't help but speak up for the child. He said, "General Ji, you are so majestic and your face is as black as charcoal. The people of Weidong also have serious expressions. If you two were a little uglier, you could be hung on the wall to ward off evil spirits. What child wouldn't cry when seeing you?"
Wei Dong and Ji Ping: "..."
It's insulting.
Dou Ye added, "If a child saw someone like Lady Lu, he would definitely not cry."
Surprisingly, this statement was unanimously agreed by Weidong and Ji Ping.
Peng Jiang's son went to see Peng Jiang and relayed Ji Ping's words. Peng Jiang was very conflicted and had to say that he hesitated.
Peng Jiang was at a loss in his tent. Lin'an Prefecture was almost wiped out, and none of his close associates escaped. Now he had no one to discuss countermeasures with.
The Lu family army was watching covetously. To be honest, Peng Jiang had never experienced such great pressure.
When he first started rebelling, it was just a whim that led him to injure the tax collectors. He was a strong man with great strength, and he led a few disciples to fight. The other people saw someone standing up and followed him.
Later, as the team grew larger, everyone discussed things together. To be honest, except for the initial battle with the officers and soldiers, he did not make any decisions alone.
Now he is the only one left to decide the future of the Yilin Army, and he feels a little numb.
However, he seems to have no other choice now.
Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why hasn't he come to find him yet? The spies sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also trapped in Lin'an Prefecture, and he didn't know how to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Peng Jiang thought, why not just agree to it? Why bother to go against Lu Xueyin anymore?
Peng Jiang was terrified of Lu Xueyin. Even the mere mention of the word "Lu" filled him with dread. Lord Lu represented a legend, an impossibility, a formidable figure who had pioneered a path never before seen, with no one to surpass him.
Peng Jiang thought that he could not beat him.
Yan Xing brought the Crown Prince's troops to Lin'an Prefecture. He came with troops, but he did not intend to fight.
His deputy general is the Crown Prince's man, and he came to ask about Yan Xing's battle plan.
Yan Xing said calmly, "Battle plan? Whose plan?"
In one sentence, the deputy general was confused.
Attack the Yilin Army? That's not right. His Royal Highness is trying to recruit Peng Jiang. And the one across from them... is the Lu Family Army. Attacking the Lu Family Army? Wouldn't that give Lu Xueyin a ready-made excuse to rebel?
The deputy general was sent away by Yan Xing with a dazed look on his face.
