Chapter 962 Afterglow of the Empire (18)

sincerity?

Liu Ting was unwilling to give it.

Because, he sincerely resisted going to war, and it was nothing to say bold words, and he should give himself the right to seek more benefits.

Isn't that how the position of admiral came about?

And the Shu soldiers are his capital, just like Chen Yuzhong who guarded the whole state back then, as long as he firmly holds the military power in his hands, the imperial court will not be able to do everything.

Besides, Tadakatsu Honda obviously didn't want to fight either.

Why not talk about it?

Apparently, Liu Ting's old problem has recurred.

It just so happened that the one in the city was really in a hurry to leave, and as a result, the two really cultivated a little tacit understanding, and Honda Zhongsheng took the initiative to raise the banner of peace talks.

"I can't ask for more."

When Liu Ting saw the envoy and the letter, he immediately whispered in his heart, and then sent three negotiators, one of whom was an old friend of the Suncheon Japanese army:

Wu Zongdao.

The last time the West Route Army was able to play the game of throwing cups as a sign, it was all because of this man's tongue, which tricked Ben Duo into being so happy that he only brought fifty banners out of the city to negotiate.

But this time Liu Ting assigned two companions to the hero, one named Liu Wanshou and the other named Wang Dagong.

In fact, these two people are both standard-bearers with low status, but they pretend to be generals——

Liu Ting was full of ghosts, and he had carried out the beheading operation himself. He was worried that the Japanese would use his own way to punish him, so he didn't dare to send too high-ranking officers there.

Undoubtedly, this is Liu Ting's heart to measure Zhongsheng's belly.

It is true that the Japanese pirates were tyrannical and cruel, but the credibility of the negotiation was not bad. From the beginning of the war to the present, there has been no phenomenon of attacking the negotiating object.

All this came to Lu Li's ears.

The source is the same class actor:

Bai Yu.

In the last exam, he followed the trio to eat meat, and successfully won the title of "Excellent Student".

As a result, the good luck seemed to have been overdrawn in advance, and this time he was assigned to General Liu Ting of the Broadsword. It was true to say that he would go hungry for nine meals in three days.

It is difficult to find a target to die with, in other words, it is impossible to seek death.

After all, Admiral Liu loves soldiers like sons, and he is afraid that there will be attrition in battle and lose his family's capital.

"Wu Zongdao and the others brought fifty elites into Shuntian Wacheng to negotiate, and they didn't know what benefits they promised, a litter of rats!" Chen Lin sneered.

At the side, Lu Li, who was standing on the side of the ship, looked back. At this moment, all the battleships raised their heavy artillery, and they were ready to bombard Suncheon City just by his order.

At the time of introduction, the Japanese will relive the fear of being dominated by thousands of guns that night.

In the city.

The two sides talked very smoothly, Wu Zongdao hugged Honda Zhongsheng with a smile, and was about to return to Shuangyan Temple to convey the conditions of the Japanese to the admiral.

General Tadakatsu Honda was so happy, he said straight to the point:

I kept six young generals as hostages, as well as hundreds of heads and belongings. Admiral Liu let me out of the city from the land. As long as I get out of the city smoothly, everything is yours.

The conditions are so favorable, based on Wu Zongdao's understanding of Liu Ting, is there any reason why he disagrees?

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

The sun has not yet set, and the ocean has become brighter. Every roar means that there are buildings in the city that have been destroyed.

Negotiations broke down completely.

"continue."

"Three rounds first."

Lu Li said very calmly.

No way, Bai Yu popularized this obscure history with him.

[If there is no actor, the guard here should be President Xiaoxi. He promised Liu Ting a lot of benefits during the negotiation stage, and then the old boy agreed without blinking an eye, and took the initiative to keep a brother of the same clan named Liu Tianjue.

Then, Xingchang Xiaoxi retreated on the 24th, left Suncheon Wacheng, and escaped successfully.

Afterwards, Liu Ting led his troops into the already empty Shuntian City, and found that Xiaoxi really kept his word, and there was no shortage of hostages, heads, or property.

If you have to pick a thorn, there are indeed flaws——

Most of the heads belonged to the captured soldiers and civilians of North Korea, not real Japanese pirates, but Liu Ting thought it was suitable, since dead people can't speak anyway, so they can be counted as meritorious deeds.

As for the six Japanese generals who were hostages, after seeing Liu Tianjue's smooth return, the insatiable Liu Ting ordered the beheading without even thinking about it, adding six more battle results to the credit book.

The admiral, who was originally from Jiangxi and has been operating in the Bashu area for many years, is very satisfied with this ending. After all, he accomplished the planned strategic goal without any big fights, and the limelight far surpassed the other two routes. It is really worthy of special mention.

According to historical records, he specially ordered someone to paint the words "Great Victory on the West Road" in gold letters, and flew to report to Xing Junmen to show off his victory.

The soldiers of the Li Dynasty stationed nearby knew the actual situation, from Marshal Quan Li to the groom, they all despised him and felt that this man was really shameless. 】

If this plan is successful, the West Route Army will indeed win the route with the greatest success and the least loss among the three armies.

But the behavior of the old boy was the ugliest and meanest of the three admirals.

In order to avoid war, deliberately let friendly forces fall into crisis and miss the best opportunity to wipe out the enemy;

In order to save their lives and retreat, they discarded the strategic materials transferred from China;

In order to gain military exploits, he did not hesitate to communicate with the mortal Japanese people in secret, exchanging the strategic interests that the two countries wanted to fight for in exchange for their own interests.

Such a corrupt face is really disgusting.

In terms of desire to make contributions, Chen Lin is the number one. Seven years ago, before the war broke out, he wrote a letter to go to the court to fight devils, and he did not hesitate to bribe important officials of the court.

It is true that he has a strong desire for utilitarianism, but he is not soft at all when he fights the Japanese. He wants to exchange the real Japanese head for a reward from the court.

"Hey, old dog Liu still wants to negotiate? It's strange if Honda Zhongsheng doesn't hold grudges."

Watching the gunfire fall into the Japanese city of Suncheon, Chen Lin laughed. In his eyes, Liu Ting, a bereaved dog, was even uglier than the Japanese pirates. Looking at the old boy was a kind of torture.

But if Liu Dadao was a little aggressive, kept his promise in the initial night battle, and cooperated with the navy to break through Suncheon Wacheng, why use this little head in exchange for the defenders to flee far away?

In the city.

"Kill! Slaughter this group of unfaithful beasts! The corpses are hanging on the top of the city!"

"General...we..."

Wu Zongdao was shaking like a sieve, and subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but he felt dizzy, his eyes blurred, and he saw his body that was spurting blood.

Just like Lu Li, Honda Zhongsheng was also angry. He was repeatedly coaxed by Liu Ting, and he completely lost the intention of negotiating, and he would fight if he wanted to!

As the gunfire stopped, heads were hung on the highest point of Shuntian City, with three representatives and fifty elite guards. It was hard not to be noticed.

Overseer Wang Shiqi looked gloomy.

This negotiation was completely self-assessed by Liu Ting in private. He made up his mind to cooperate with the navy on the other side to wipe out the Japanese in the city.

But Liu Ting is the admiral after all, so it's not easy to chase too closely. This guy said that it takes time to mobilize the army and must be carefully arranged.

While mobilizing various ministries, while secretly arranging negotiations, what does it mean?

Don't even have the courage and determination to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns?
