The second in command was livid. M.s l k.tw

It felt like my hidden thoughts had been exposed under the sun, which was inexplicably shameful.

"Haha - so what, I can wait until both Liu Xi'er and the Red Lotus Sect will suffer..."

Wei Ci chuckled.

"My lord controls most of the territory of Fengyi County, Shangyang County and Chengde County. There is only Qiuyu County in such a large Marunzhou. How can both sides be harmed if they are so powerful? To put it bluntly, the general thinks that with the tenth district of Honglian Diocese Don't you know that the people of the Ten Thousand Sect can act recklessly and ignore the heroes of the world? Previously, the Red Lotus Sect divided its troops into 36,000 troops and attacked Kinmen County, but the defenders in Kinmen County were defeated like a mountain, with more than 30,000 prisoners captured. . So, does the general still think that the Red Lotus Sect can compete with my lord?”

The eyes of the second-in-command flashed with hesitation and struggle, as well as lingering fear.

Just as Wei Ci mocked, he was just a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky, thinking that the Red Lotus Sect had defeated the Tsing Yi Army and was already the overlord of the north. However, Wei Ci told him that the Red Lotus Sect was actually very weak, with a force of 36,000. Seven thousand soldiers and horses fought back.

The example was true and he could not refute it.

Thirty-six thousand soldiers and horses cannot defeat seven thousand!

The thirty thousand troops in the city could not give him the slightest sense of security.

No matter whether he chooses to join the Red Lotus Sect or sit back and watch the fierce fight between the Red Lotus Sect and Jiang Pengji, he will not end well.

Wei Ci softened his voice to avoid forcing the person too hard.

"My lord sent me here to show the general the way sincerely."

The second in command was silent now, staring at Wei Ci with a pair of wide eyes.

"Say, I want to hear what you can say." He snorted coldly, gritted his teeth in shame, and said viciously, "I will die if I take refuge in the Red Lotus Church, will I not die if I take refuge in Liu Xi? That sounds nice. , which is actually the same as that of a bird.”

Wei Ci smiled and said, "General, if you surrender to my lord and assist me in annihilating the Red Lotus Sect, you will be the hero of the annihilation of the Red Lotus Sect. Why would you poison a meritorious official? If you do this, from now on, How can anyone be willing to abandon the dark side and join my lord? Why don't you think about it carefully? Do you have any old conflicts with my lord? If not, why are you worried?"

yes,

He and Liu Xi had no grudges or grudges.

If he took the initiative to surrender, why would Liu Xi harm him?

Even if he is not needed, Liu Xi will not harm him, but will treat him kindly. Otherwise, once word spreads, the enemies Liu Xi encounters from now on will only fight to the death, because surrendering is also death, and not surrendering is also death. It is better to fight to the end and resist to death.

The balance in his heart slowly tipped towards Jiang Pengji.

Wei Ci knew the heat was enough, so he didn't rush it. Instead, he looked leisurely and indifferent, calm and elegant.

"Can you guarantee...that Liu Xi'er will not turn his back on others?"

"My lord has great aspirations for the world, and a mere Qiuyu County is not worth breaking his promise for."

The second-in-command's face was green and black. He knew that he was being underestimated, but what was powerless was that others had the ability to underestimate him.

As a result, the inner struggle became even more intense.

At this time, Wei Ci stood up from the table and flicked his sleeves.

His voice was as clear as a clear spring in the mountains, as if the whole body was immersed in an icy spring on a hot summer day, making people shiver.

"General, time is running out." He smiled, "My lord has been ordered by King Qin. If we cannot attack for a long time, we will definitely withdraw our troops to defend the three counties. Without the pressure from my lord, do you think the Red Lotus Church will give up and not care about you kidnapping the leader?" , the crime of violating the teachings?”

There was no need for Wei Ci to remind him, the second in command knew what would happen to him just by thinking about that scene.

Wei Ci licked the flames and said, "The general has received a large number of troops, but most of them are followers of the Red Lotus Sect. According to my guess, except for a few close friends, other people should not know about the general's murder of the leader, right? What if? My lord has withdrawn his troops, and the Red Lotus Sect is trying to find a way to prove your crime. General, do you think those believers who worship the sect leader will not fight against you? "

Not only are they fighting each other, but if they relax and sleep, their heads will be cut off.

The second-in-command knew that his position was unstable, but after listening to Wei Ci's words, he realized that the matter was far more serious than imagined.

Now he was afraid and restrained his arrogance.

Once he understood it, he knew the current affairs better than anyone else.

He bowed and asked for advice in a nondescript manner.

"Please sir, show me the way."

Wei Ci sat back on his seat with a slight smile on his lips.

"I don't dare give you advice, but I do have some good words to tell the general."

The timing of Wei Ci's arrival was coincidental. The envoy from the Red Lotus Sect came during the day, promising a lot of good things.

The second-in-command felt uneasy and did not agree immediately. He just said that he still needed to think about it.

Not long after nightfall, Wei Ci arrived. A sincere talk made the second-in-command feel more at ease than a basket of promises.

Faced with a desperate situation, he will naturally choose the path that is most beneficial to him.

Taking refuge in Liu Xi may not be a bad idea.

Wei Ci's words gave the second-in-command hope of survival.

Secretly gritting his back teeth, he told Wei Ci, "During the day, the Red Lotus Sect sent envoys to persuade me to join forces with them... To show sincerity, I asked people to kill those bastards... I only hope that Mr. Brother, please say a few nice words..."

Wei Ci blocked the second-in-command's movement and said, "Absolutely not."

The second in command was surprised, "Why not?"

"It would alert the enemy." Wei Ci didn't even raise his eyelids and continued, "If the envoy they sent was killed by the general, they would know that the general had surrendered to my master. When they were on guard, the general would be in danger. It is better to hold back for the time being, pretend to agree to cooperate, lure their elite into the city, and then lay an ambush to catch them in the urn. By then, there will be no leader, and the Red Lotus Sect outside the city will have no one to command. My master will send troops to capture them... In this way, this confidant can be easily eliminated..."

Wei Ci said it lightly, as if it was the most ordinary idea.

But the second in command heard it, and he felt a little sweaty.

In his opinion, the scholar in front of him was extremely beautiful and handsome, and there was no threat at all.

If not, he would not have the courage to stay in the same room with him for so long, because he thought Wei Ci was a weak chicken.

Now, he felt that the literati were really scary. Their words were like swords, their pens were like knives, and they could kill people without being noticed.

Wei Ci asked him, "What do you think, General?"

The second-in-command said with a slight stutter, "Very, very good."

Wei Ci continued, "In order to gain people's trust, I hope the general can do one thing."

The second-in-command asked him, "What is it?"

"Kill me."

The second-in-command was stunned. He felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Otherwise, how could he hear such a strange request?

"Kill, kill you?" Wei Ci said calmly, "General, please don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant. My Lord sent me to persuade you late at night, and I'm afraid that this matter has been heard by those who have ulterior motives. In order to better convince them, you can use someone else's corpse to replace me and deceive the Red Lotus Sect. In their view, once the general kills the messenger sent by my Lord, you will naturally not surrender to my Lord, let alone be accepted by my Lord. In this way, when you lure their elite troops into the city, they will not be suspicious, and the plan will go more smoothly." www~slk~tw The fastest updated novel website, no pop-ups!
