Things have come to this point, what else can be done? If Liu Bowen had not seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression had eased a lot, he might not have dared to say the words he had been thinking about all day.
However, since Liu Bowen wanted to do this, how could he let Zhu Yuanzhang stand on the city wall and curse at Zhang Wuji?
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang only showed up in the new city today, said some inspiring words, and then went back to having fun with the girls he had just found.
However, although Zhu Yuanzhang only showed up in the city, the effect was still there.
The morale of the Wei army in the city was indeed improved, just like the words he said to boost morale.
"The current predicament is nothing. My army was wiped out so many times in the past, but I still ended up like this today."
"The most miserable thing is begging, but if you don't die, you will eventually get ahead."
The most miserable thing is begging, but if you don’t die, you will eventually get out of this.
This sentence seems to be a portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang himself, if for no other reason than that it is so vivid.
However, that very night, when the morale in the city had just begun to improve, Liu Bowen left the city.
He did not leave the city without permission, but it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
If it is possible, we should talk about it.
As for the conditions that could be given up in the negotiations, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite generous.
His original words were, "As long as Zhang Wuji is willing to withdraw his troops, then I can accept any conditions. After all, we are all Han people. I don't believe he can still behave like the Jin people during the Jingkang Incident."
Having said that, Zhang Wuji certainly would not be like the Jin people during the Jingkang Incident.
However, this was not because he wanted to put forward excessive conditions to Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he did not want to give Zhu Yuanzhang the opportunity to endure hardships.
…
In the twilight, Yu Fei, who had slept in a daze all day, was patrolling when he suddenly discovered that a large basket had been thrown down from the top of the city wall by the Wei army.
There was a rope tied to the basket, and there was obviously a person inside the basket.
Yu Fei was a smart girl. With just one glance, she knew something interesting was coming.
"Empress, do you want to kill this man?"
A Ming army soldier walked up to Yu Fei and asked cautiously and tentatively.
Yu Fei really enjoyed being called "Empress".
With a smile on her face, she took a deep breath and said, "No need. The person coming here must be interesting. Nine out of ten times he is here to discuss something."
Sure enough, a moment later, Yu Fei saw the person sitting in the basket coming down.
It was none other than Liu Bowen, who had been sowing discord during the day.
"Sir, are you here to quarrel with me?"
Yu Fei looked at Liu Bowen with a smile on his face.
Liu Bowen nodded quickly and even addressed her as "Your Majesty": "Your Majesty, you are joking. I had no choice but to do what happened during the day. As the Prime Minister of the Wei Dynasty, I have to do something, no matter how insignificant it is."
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Sir, you are truly a cultured person, and the way you speak is different."
"What do you want to do by sneaking out of the city this time? Are you here to surrender, or to persuade my young master to withdraw his troops?"
Liu Bowen nodded again: "Your Majesty is smart and has both."
…
A moment later, Yu Fei brought Liu Bowen to Zhang Wuji.
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Wuji had just taken advantage of Wei Xiangjun several times and had just stopped when he saw the person coming.
Liu Bowen looked around and saw four or five beauties sitting next to Zhang Wuji.
If it were an ignorant person, they would definitely think that Zhang Wuji was a lustful man. Why would he have so many beautiful girls around him when he was going to war?
But those who know Zhang Wuji not only know that he is a lustful man, just like Liu Bowen at this moment. In fact, there is nothing strange about a man being a little lustful.
However, what he admired was Zhang Wuji's ability to find women. When Zhang Wuji was looking for women, he not only looked at their faces and figures, but even took into account whether they could fight in battle.
I'm afraid only Zhang Wuji would dare to look for a woman like this.
If it were my master, I'm afraid he would never let a woman like this sleep next to him.
…
After calming down, Liu Bowen said: "I, the defeated minister Liu Bowen, greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Bowen thought about it and finally resisted the urge to kneel.
Fortunately, Zhang Wuji is not the kind of person who cares about these things at all.
"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what you want to say."
Be concise and get straight to the point.
Liu Bowen said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a straightforward person."
"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. The Wei army was defeated, and this is an undeniable fact."
"But the northern regime of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was established not long ago. Its foundation is unstable and it is expanding too fast. Why don't the two families stop fighting so that the people of the world can recuperate."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly: "Then what? Then wait for three to five years, and then you can make a comeback, or wait for another thirty to fifty years, and when all of us are dead, our descendants can continue the fight."
Zhang Wuji hit the nail on the head, and Liu Bowen also knew that what he said was true. Since ancient times, the Han and the traitors cannot coexist, and the kingdom cannot be half-hearted.
But now that things have come to this, what else can Liu Bowen say?
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan is a vast land with a large population. You have just unified the north. If you insist on swallowing up the entire Jiangnan now, you will probably suffer backlash."
"I know that Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, so I will not say those empty words. As long as His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to withdraw his troops, His Majesty will accept very many conditions."
