From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 507

"What! They dare to send an envoy to Shanhaiguan!"

Wu Dingzhong stood up and shouted: "Tie that man up, chop off his head and hang it on the city wall."

"This general wants to let the Eastern Tartar know that we will defend Shanhaiguan to the death and will never waver."

Pang Lixing also said: "That's right! We must show our will, and it will also help stabilize the morale of the army!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, what nonsense are you talking about? Now is not the time for you to lose your temper."

"Come on, take the Eastern Tartar's envoy to the beacon tower and wait. We will go to see him later."

Wu Dingzhong couldn't help but say: "General, why is this? Do we really want to negotiate with the Eastern Tartar? There is no result! They can't give up Shanhaiguan! We can't either!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Calm down, excited What? "" I said, the essence of war is political, and political means can often determine the direction of war. "He stood up and said slowly:" Nurhachi has only three or four days. Time! "Wu Dingzhong stunned, and then scratched his head and smiled:" Is it reckless or handsome. " After that tall figure, wearing a black dress, wearing carved big jackets, black hair like a waterfall, clear eyes, wearing a variety of complicated accessories, she was like a alien goddess, like the daughter of the gods. She heard the voice, turned around, her eyes slowly gathered, her eyes narrowed slightly, and finally smiled.

"Zhou Yuan, long time no see."

Her smile was extremely strange, and it was hard to tell what her attitude was.

"Miss Wanyan, you are getting more beautiful."

Zhou Yuan sat down and pointed at the chair.

Wanyan Daichan also sat down and smiled softly: "Thank you for the compliment. There are not many generals who know how to appreciate beauty. Zhongwu Hou is one of them."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "You can't tell that you are already in your thirties. You really have a way to keep your youth."

Wanyan Daichan's smile froze, she shrugged her shoulders, and then said: "I just turned thirty, not yet thirty-one, what do you mean by over thirty?"

Zhou Yuan said: "This is not important. The important thing is, what exactly does Miss Wanyan want to do by coming here to see me? It can't be Persuade them to surrender?"

Wanyan Daichan said: "Of course I am here to congratulate the Marquis Zhongwu for luring the tiger away from the mountain and attacking Xinglin Fort. It has forced us into a difficult situation. It is a good move."

"You made a great move, forcing us to fight in advance."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "What a good move, it is just a conventional move at most. So Miss Wanyan came here, not to issue an ultimatum, right?"

Wanyan Daichan said: "His Majesty wants to meet with the Marquis Zhongwu to discuss peace. After all, we are very clear. As long as we start, Shanhaiguan will definitely be overwhelmed. "Zhou Yuan said:" Of course, everyone here is preparing for sacrificing for the country. Zhou Yuan said faintly: "Why do you have to bury your bones? Life is everywhere." Wan Yan Daizheng was silent for a moment, then gritted: "I already know that I can't say you, you can't follow me, you choose it yourself." Of course, I also want to see Nurhachi at first sight. I want to see what the biggest enemy in Dajin looks like. " Ah "" Pang Lixing said: "They must want to detain Ji Shuai, mess with my army!" Zhou Yuan looked at Wan Yan Daiyu, and said, "The city is waiting for me." Until this time, Wu Dingzhong and others also became excited and persuaded Zhou Yuan.

"General, this must be the Hongmen Banquet, you can't go!"

"Once you get to the enemy, you can't help yourself."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "The situation is different. For Nurhaci, I am more useful now."

"If I am alive, they have hope of negotiation. If I die, there is no room for negotiation, and they can only fight."

"This also means that Nurhaci has completely lost hope of attacking Shenjing."

Pang Lixing said: "General, although that is the case, if the other side is ruthless, we must fight hard..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "ThisThis kind of thought would appear in the gangsters, but not in an outstanding leader. "

"Wait for my good news here!"

After saying that, he went down the tower directly.

Without any guards, only Li Yu'an.

There was only one reason for taking her, fearing that the other party would really mess up, then Li Yu'an could hold Nurhaci hostage and take herself out.

The two had a tacit understanding and walked straight down.

Wanyan Daichan, who was waiting, was also stunned for a moment when she saw Li Yu'an, then bowed and saluted: "Meet the Holy Mother."

Li Yu'an said: "You no longer need to salute me, don't you?"

She was very open-minded, her tone was very calm, she took a step back, stood behind Zhou Yuan, and her attitude was very clear.

Wanyan Daichan knew that the other party didn't want to say anything, just sighed, and took Zhou Yuan to the carriage.

Then she slowly said: "Zhou Yuan, you are really brave, going to the enemy camp alone, aren't you afraid that we will turn against you? ”

Zhou Yuan said: "I am very confident. I believe that I will be valued wherever I go. The surprise attack on Xinglin Fort is my answer to Nurhaci."

"I believe he is very satisfied with me, isn't he?"

Wanyan Daichan was silent for a moment before saying: "The Khan never thought that you were just famous for nothing, but I didn't expect that you could achieve this level just after coming to Shanhaiguan."

"He praised you for your bold and unconventional use of troops, and your precise and sharp moves. You are a rare talent."

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "He still knows too little about me. My strength is not actually fighting."

Wanyan Daichan said: "So it has come to this point. Can you tell me your purpose? Why do you want to see the Khan? Don't tell me that you are surrendering, I don't believe this."

Zhou Yuan looked at her, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "Wanyan Daichan, do you know me well? ”

Wanyan Daichan said: "I know you very well. You can't betray the Great Jin Dynasty. You have the ambition to save the world."

"You are wrong."

Zhou Yuan said: "If you carefully recall the details of our relationship, you will find that I don't care about the Great Jin Dynasty at all. What I care about is Jianjia, Ningyue, Cai Ni, my relatives and friends."

"Scholars believe that civilization shapes people, but I think that people create civilization. I put people before civilization."

"So people come first, and then loyalty."

He looked at Wanyan Daichan and said in a deep voice: "Since you know me, you should know how I will treat the person who almost killed my family? "

Wanyan Daichan was silent.

Because she believed what he said.

In her observation, Zhou Yuan was indeed a person who put his family first, but his achievements strengthened people's perception of his loyalty.

He might really surrender.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Daichan felt a sense of unreality and absurdity.

Could it be... Is there really a hope that he and I can walk on the same path?
