Fang Xuedu amused all the generals in the main tent.

Fang Xuedu was ridiculed by everyone.

His expression kept changing.

However, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything harsh.

They dared not turn away in anger.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "In this time and place,"

"What right do you have to negotiate peace?"

"If you can't decide whether to fight or surrender,"

"You can go back and report to Tian Hu."

Fang Xuedu realized that the King of Liang didn't want to beat around the bush with him.

I don't want to make several trips for nothing.

Ten miles is not a long distance.

But the round trip will take almost an hour.

There were still instances of warhorses being used for transportation.

I don't want to go through all that trouble.

They also knew that the King of Liang of Daliang already considered Weisheng as his own.

Fang Xuedu then completely abandoned his airs and humbly said,

"King Liang of the Great Liang is invincible."

"My king has already experienced the divine might of the Liang king,"

"Therefore, I was sent to negotiate peace."

"I wonder what the King of Liang's requirements are, and I would appreciate your instructions."

"The Tian brothers have wreaked havoc on the region; they must be killed without mercy."

"The rest of them only need to surrender before the attack on Daliang,"

"Those with talent will continue to be employed,"

"Those guilty of heinous crimes may be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape punishment."

"All the soldiers and officers in Hedong have been discharged from the army and returned to their fields."

Zhao Yuan never took Tian Hu seriously in the first place.

Meeting with Fang Xuedu was just to save trouble.

Naturally, they wouldn't make any concessions.

Fang Xuedu heard that Zhao Yuan wanted to kill Tian Hu and his brothers.

He was taken aback.

However, after hearing that Zhao Yuan was willing to pardon the crimes of others...

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he served as Grand Commandant under Tian Hu,

They also did some things that involved bullying others by abusing their power.

But he didn't do anything particularly heinous.

I suppose I can escape Da Liang's punishment.

As for the troops in Hedong, they were all discharged and returned to their fields.

It doesn't really have much to do with him.

Now we've fallen to such a state.

It's already a great blessing that their lives were spared.

Even if Daliang retains a portion of its troops from Hedong...

We will absolutely not let them lead the way.

In that case, whether they stay or leave is none of their business.

However, Fang Xuedu still found it difficult.

"I will not forgive my king!"

"I'm afraid we can't make that decision either."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "There are only two of us, Tian Hu and his brothers."

"There are more than 100,000 people in the city."

"If you're all willing to perish with him,"

"My soldiers wouldn't mind a few more decapitations."

Zhao Yuan's intention was to incite internal strife within the city.

He doesn't hide this fact.

The Liang army was at the city gates.

The end of the Jin state has come.

Zhao Yuan had this confidence.

Few people in the State of Jin still believed they could defeat the State of Liang.

Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives.

Not to mention the various people Tian Hu had gathered.

The Song Dynasty had been established for over a hundred years.

Few people were willing to be buried with the Song Dynasty.

The State of Jin had been established for less than half a year.

Even fewer would be loyal.

Fang Xuedu would not accompany Tian Hu to the Liao Kingdom.

They would never die with Tian Hu.

Seeing the Liang King's firm stance, he simply cupped his hands and said,

"King Liang is wise; the people of Weisheng City are already filled with fear."

Even Tian Hu lost confidence.

"Only Tian Bao still dared to resist the heavenly army."

"I am but a humble man, and I am willing to submit to the Great Liang,"

"Report the King of Liang's message back to Weisheng."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Alright."

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

"However, I'm afraid Tian Hu will try to cover it up,"

“I will send someone to write a document and shoot it into the city.”

"If you could secretly contact some high-ranking generals to surrender,"

"Or if the city is surrendered,"

"The imperial court will not skimp on the rewards."

Fang Xuedu thought for a moment,

"After Ye Qing surrendered Xiangyuan,"

"Tian Hu then became wary of his soldiers."

"Those currently guarding the city are all Tian Hu's trusted men,"

"Contacting them rashly might leak the information."

"They guarded the city gates,"

"Other troops are strictly forbidden from leaving the camp without permission,"

"It is also somewhat difficult to contact other generals to surrender."

Qin Ming said, "You just said that the people of Weisheng are in a state of panic."

"They immediately said they couldn't surrender."

"Then what use would my Great Liang have for you?"

"It would be better to send troops to break through Weisheng and have a good slaughter."

Li Kui nodded and said, "Qin Ming is right."

"Blow up the city walls, I'll be the first to rush in!"

"What's the use of these birdmen?"

Upon hearing their conversation, Fang Xuedu quickly said,

"The troops at Weisheng are not being moved now,"

"We didn't have a chance either."

Chapter 1682 What to Do Now?

"But I can contact some generals I'm on good terms with,"

“When you attack the city, Tian Hu will inevitably have to mobilize his troops,”

"Then we can seize the city and surrender."

Li Kui said, "Blow up the city wall, and we can take Weisheng with just two axes."

Fang Xuedu and his team acted as inside agents.

This means it can reduce casualties among the Liang army.

However, Li Kui claimed that he could defeat Weisheng all by himself.

Fang Xuedu was shocked by Li Kui's arrogant words.

They were also a little stunned.

None of the people inside the tent took Li Kui's words seriously.

However, Fang Xuedu couldn't say that Li Kui was courting death.

And they could save Li Kui's life.

In fact, if Li Kui were to attack the city alone,

They couldn't save Li Kui either.

Because they haven't arrived yet.

Li Kui had already been torn to pieces by a flurry of knives or pierced through the heart by a hail of arrows.

At most, they can collect Li Kui's corpse.

However, Zhao Yuan didn't embarrass Fang Xuedu, and smiled.

"Okay, you can go back now,"

"Today I will have the document shot into the city."

"The siege will begin tomorrow,"
