The second-in-command's face was ashen.
That feeling, as if the hidden thoughts in the heart were exposed and spread under the sun, inexplicable shame.
"Hehe - so what, I can also wait for Liu Xi'er and the Red Lotus Sect to lose both..."
Wei Ci laughed.
"My lord sits on most of the territory of Fengyi County, Shangyang County and Chengde County, and there is only Qiuyu County in Dawan Prefecture. How can we be so strong, how can we lose both? Thousands of sects can run amok and ignore the heroes of the world? Don’t you know that? Previously, the Red Lotus Sect divided 36,000 troops and stormed Kinmen County. The guards in Kinmen County were less than 8,000. What was the result? So, does the general still think that the Red Lotus Sect can compete with my master?"
The second-in-command's eyes flickered with hesitation and struggle, as well as lingering fear.
Just as Wei Ci sneered, he was a frog sitting in the well and watching the sky, thinking that the Red Lotus Sect had beaten the Tsing Yi Army and was already the hegemon of the North, but Wei Ci told him that the Red Lotus Sect was actually very weak, and its 36,000 troops were still being captured. Seven thousand soldiers and horses fought back.
The example was true, and he could not refute it.
Thirty-six soldiers and horses can't beat seven thousand others!
The 30,000 troops in the city could not give him the slightest sense of security.
Whether he chooses to join the Red Lotus Sect or sit and watch the Red Lotus Sect and Jiang Pengji fight fiercely, he will not end well.
Wei Ci softened her voice so as not to push people too hard.
"My lord sent me here to show you the way with sincerity and sincerity."
The second-in-command didn't say a word, and stared at Wei Ci with a pair of wide-open tiger eyes.
"You said, I have to listen, what can you say." He snorted coldly, gritted his teeth in embarrassment, and said viciously, "I am going to join the Red Lotus Church to die, can't I die when I join Liu Xi'er? That sounds nice to say. , is actually the same bird."
Wei Ci smiled and said, "If the general turns to my lord and assists my lord in destroying the Red Lotus Sect, then you will be the hero of the eradication of the Red Lotus Sect. Why do you want to poison a minister with merit? If you really do this, from now on, Where is there anyone who is willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to my lord? General, why don't you think about it carefully, is there a conflict between you and my lord? Is there an old account? Since there is no, why do you still worry?"
That's right, he and Liu Xi have no grudges.
If he took the initiative to defect and surrender, why would Liu Xi want to harm him
Even without him, Liu Xi would not be able to harm him, instead he would treat him kindly. Otherwise, once it spreads, the enemies that Liu Xi encounters from now on will only fight to the death, because surrendering is also death, and not surrendering is also death.
The balance in his heart slowly fell to Jiang Pengji.
Wei Ci knew that the heat was enough, so he didn't rush, but instead looked leisurely and indifferent, calm and graceful.
"Can you guarantee... that Liu Xi'er won't turn around and deny anyone?"
"My master's ambition is in the world, and it's not worth her breaking the promise of a mere autumn rain county."
The second-in-command's face was blue and black. He knew that he was being underestimated, but what was powerless was that others had the capital to underestimate him.
So, the inner struggle became even more intense.
At this time, Wei Ci got up from the seat and flicked his sleeves.
His voice was as clear as a clear spring in the mountains, as if the whole body was immersed in the ice spring in the hot summer, making one shiver uncontrollably.
"General's time is running out." He smiled, "My lord was ordered to King Qin, and if he could not attack for a long time, he would definitely retreat to defend the three counties. Without the pressure from my lord, you feel that the Red Lotus Church will give up and don't care about your kidnapping of the sect leader. , the charge of violating the sentence?"
No need for Wei Ci's reminder, the second-in-command knew what would happen to him just by thinking about that scene.
Wei Ci licked the fire, "The general has strong troops, but most of them are followers of the Red Lotus Sect. According to the following guess, except for a few confidants, others should not know about the general's murder of the leader, right? My lord retreats, the Red Lotus Sect will try to convince you of your crime, the general thinks that those who worship the sect master will not fight against you?"
Not only are the soldiers facing each other, maybe if they relax and sleep, their heads will be cut off.
The second-in-command knew that his position was unstable, but after hearing Wei Ci's words, he realized that the matter was far more serious than he imagined.
Now he was afraid, and restrained his arrogance.
Once he understands it, he knows the current affairs better than anyone else.
Nondescript bowing to ask for advice.
"Please also show me the way, sir."
Wei Ci sat back in her seat again, with a small smile on her lips.
"I don't dare to give advice, but I do have a few good words to tell the general."
Wei Ci arrived at a very coincidental time. The messenger from the Red Lotus Sect to come to the peace talks came during the day, and he promised a bunch of things.
The second-in-command was uneasy and did not agree immediately, but only said that he still had to think about it.
Not long after nightfall, Wei Ci came, and the second-in-command was more at ease with a sincere talk than a load 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 good strategy.
Wei Ci's remarks made the second-in-command see hope for life.
Grinding his back molars secretly, he said to Wei Ci, "In the daytime, the Red Lotus Sect sent messengers to persuade Lao Tzu to join forces with them... As a sign of sincerity, let people kill those bastards... I just hope that Mr. Say something nice..."
Wei Ci blocked the movement of the second-in-command, he said, "Absolutely not."
The second-in-command was surprised, "Why not?"
"Frightening the snake." Wei Ci continued without raising his eyelids, "If the envoy they sent is killed by the general, they must know that the general has surrendered to our lord, and when the guard is on the guard, the general's situation will be in danger. Why not? For the time being, keep the troops still, pretend to agree to cooperate, lure their elites into the city, and then bury the soldiers in ambush to capture the turtles in their urns. At that time, there will be no leaders, and the Red Lotus Sect outside the city will have no one to take command, and my lord will send troops to capture... In this way, it will definitely be easy. Exterminate this confidant..."
Wei Ci said it lightly, as if it were an ordinary idea.
But when the second-in-command heard it, there was a faint urge to sweat.
In his opinion, the scribe in front of him was extremely beautiful and handsome, and he was not threatening at all.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have the courage to stay in the same room for so long, because he thought Wei Ci was weak.
Looking at it now, he thinks that the literati are really scary, with words like swords and pens like knives, understatement and invisible murder.
Wei Ci asked him, "What does the general think?"
The second-in-command stuttered slightly, "Very, very good."
Wei Ci continued, "In order to win the trust of others, I also hope that the general can do one thing."
The second-in-command asked him, "What's the matter?"
"Kill the next."
The second-in-command was stunned. He felt that something was wrong with his ears. Otherwise, how could he have heard such a strange request
"Kill, kill you?"
Wei Ci said calmly, "Don't get me wrong, General, that's not what I mean. My lord sent me late at night to persuade the general. I'm afraid this matter has already spread to the ears of those who are interested. In order to better win their trust, Mr. can replace the corpse of someone else. , deceive the Red Lotus Sect. In their opinion, once the general kills the messenger sent by my lord, you will naturally not defect to my lord, and it is even less likely that you will be accepted by my lord. In this way, you lure their elites into the city, and they will There will be no doubts, and the plan will go more smoothly.”
