Chapter 196 Persuading to surrender (continued)

Wang Meng looked at the man in front of him. He looked over thirty years old, with a good appearance and a commoner. He could not tell whether he was an official or a military general. However, judging from his behavior, he should not be a real "commoner".

"Who are you?"

"Brother Wang, are you safe?"

After hearing the other party say this, Wang Meng was stunned. The only person who can call him "Brother Wang" was an acquaintance or a cheeky lobbyist. He didn't remember seeing the other party, so...

"My younger brother is also surnamed Wang, but Junwang is not the Wang brother of Langya Wang, but the Wang family in Taiyuan."

"Who are you...?"

"The King of Taiyuan, come and persuade the surrender at the order of King Xiyang of the Great Zhou." After saying that, Wang Xu bowed with a smile, "Brother Wang, don't you think about it?"

Wang Meng had no impression of the name Wang Xu at all. He sneered: "Taiyuan Wang Xu? I wonder what I want to consider?"

"What we consider is naturally not right or wrong, but victory or defeat." Wang Feng still smiled, not at all affected by Wang Meng's cold attitude. "Brother Wang has experienced so many years of ups and downs, can he be confused about right or wrong?"

"Brother Wang, whether to surrender or not depends only on the strength comparison, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, right?"

Wang Meng was a little lost when he heard this. The other party reminded him that Chen Jun is at a disadvantage now, and whether surrender is right or wrong is actually not important. Meaningless resistance can only bring meaningless casualties.

"What are the conditions for the Zhou army?"

"Surrender, the official army will not return and surrender. When the Great Zhou destroys Chen and the world is unified, the soldiers can choose to remove their armor and return to their fields, or continue to serve the new court."

"What if I don't surrender?"

Wang Jun smiled: "A general succeeded and thousands of bones were undone. The King of Xiyang didn't mind staining the Red Army with human blood. I don't know what the significance of Brother Wang's asking his subordinates to expose the corpse in the wilderness?"

After hearing the hairy words, although they were ruthless, every sentence was reasonable. Wang Meng knew that the other party wanted to persuade the surrender just to avoid meaningless casualties. What else could he say?

Talking harsh words? What's the use of that? It's just a joke.

"It is understandable that Brother Wang wants to be loyal to Chen State, but so many soldiers are buried in a foreign land. What can a sincere heart be exchanged for? Chen State has finished its energy, so why bother to bury him for him?"

Speaking of his anger, Wang Meng retorted: "Prime Minister Yuchi and Emperor Yuwen of Zhou will fight to the death sooner or later. When the chaos comes, you may be too busy to take care of yourself, so there is no time to control Da Chen's anger!"

"To be honest, the world has been quarrels for hundreds of years and the dynasties have been changing. Why do you have to be loyal to the end of the dynasty? My father was loyal to Daliang and assisted the government in a hard time, but he was in a bad reputation and ended up in a different way."

"Which Xijiang Protector who killed him accepted the abdication and founded a foundation. Why did Brother Wang learn from his father?"

Wang Meng was shocked and suspicious when he heard this. There was something amazing about the other party's words. He thought for a moment, but was about to speak but Wang Jun took the lead: "My father was named Seng Bian, so he was the Grand Sima of Liang State and the Governor of Yangzhou."

"You are Wang Sengbian's son!!"

"You are the son of Wang Qing, the prefect of Dongyang! But you want to be loyal to Chen Baxian!" Wang Jun suddenly roared, as if he had changed his own, "My brother has never thought about avenging his father for the past thirty-three years!"

"And you, Wang Yong, are going to sacrifice for Chen Baxian's fortune!!"

Although Wang Xu was wearing a cloth robes, his aura made Wang Meng, who was covered in clothes, look down on him. After hearing these words, Wang Meng was speechless.

"That year, although my brother Wang and I were just babies, we were in Jiangling. Later, my brother Wang went to Dongyang, and the Wei soldiers captured Jiangling. My brother and I were captured and went to Chang'an. My father, Yu Jiankang, supported the prince to ascend the throne..."

"Qi took advantage of the situation to rob the horses and drink the Yangtze River. Liang was in trouble at home and abroad. My father had no choice but to agree to Qi's request and make Xiao Yuanming, the royal family he captured, the emperor..."

"Not only that, he also called a vassal to Qi State. This move caused an uproar in the court and the public that his father lost power and humiliated the country. Chen Baxian used this as a reason to attack Jiankang from Jingkou and killed his father and established another royal family as emperor. This move can be called a loyal minister of Daliang. Brother Wang thought it was right or not?"

Wang Meng was still speechless. Chen Baxian believed that Wang Seng was arguing about Qu and serving Qi as a humiliating country. As a result, after the mutiny and seizing power, Liang State still called Qi a vassal, and there was nothing else, and internal and external relations were difficult.

More than a year later, Chen Baxian accepted the abdication and established the State of Chen. Even if there were many reasons and reasons, people could not justify Chen Baxian's behavior, and patted his chest and said that he was a loyal minister of Liang State.

Others can argue about this matter, but Wang Meng can argue a few more words, but Wang Sengbian's son has nothing to say about this matter, not to mention that Wang Meng's father Wang Qing also died because of this matter.

Chen Baxian attacked and killed Wang Sengbian, which attracted fierce resistance from Wang Sengbian. His son-in-law Du Kan was besieged by Chen Baxian's nephew Chen Lu. Dongyang Prefect Wang Qing led his troops to rescue Du Kan and defeated Chen Lu.

As a result, when Wang Qing was pursuing Chen Xuan, the Guangzhou Governor Ouyang Fu, who was traveling with him, joined Chen Baxian and killed Wang Qing to "borrow it". Chen Xuan later succeeded to the throne and did not forget Wang Qing's "great achievements", which caused Wang Yong and his son to hide from each other. After Chen Xuan passed away, Wang Yong, who changed his name to "Wang Meng", was able to enter the officialdom.

More than 30 years ago, Wang Qing, the prefect of Dongyang of Liang, was a subordinate of the Grand Sima of Liang and the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Sengbian, who died because of Chen Baxian's attack on Wang Sengbian.

More than 30 years later, Wang Sengbian's son Wang Jun asked Wang Qing's son Wang Meng if he wanted to sacrifice for Chen Baxian's fortune. How did Wang Meng answer this?

If you say yes, then what is the death of your father? If you say no, why should you hold on and refuse to surrender?

He said he was willing to surrender? Wang Meng had such a status now because Chen later reused him. If he surrendered, he was a bit ungrateful and could not hold back his face.

"Brother Wang, things in the world are impermanent. Whose loyalty is what you call loyalty? How much does it cost to be loyalty?"

Wang Wang once again regained his image as a lobbyist, and his image became gentle and gentle. Seeing Wang Meng bowing his head and saying nothing, he continued to do it: "I have lived in Chang'an for more than 30 years and finally I hope to avenge my father."

"My brother is now in Huainan. I want to come to the Zhou army to conquer Jiankang after crossing the river. At that time, the great revenge will definitely be avenged. But I didn't want to come to Jiankang to avenge my father, but came to Lingnan as a lobbyist to persuade him to surrender. Why do you think?"

Wang Meng thought to himself, "You must not be for me, brother Wang", but he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Wang Feng said, "I have become a father, but why have I done nothing for the past 30 years? If I don't make a contribution, how can I shelter my wife and children from the wind and rain?"

These words speak to Wang Meng's heart. He is also a father. Even if he wants to be loyal to Chen State, there is no reason to take his son to die with him. There are so many soldiers who followed him to Lingnan a few years ago, but they all died in a foreign land because of himself?

But if I surrender, Mrs. Xian's side...

Looking to the west, Wang Meng hesitated again. Wang Feng saw this and struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Wang! The King of Xiyang used troops this time just to replace Chen Guo's position in Lingnan. He would not treat the local Lishang and the cave owner for no reason."

"The King of Xiyang is not willing to stay in the smoky land of Lingnan for a long time, so as long as the masters of Li and the caves obey, just like the Jiankang court, he would not make things difficult for these people, so as to force the rebellion to suppress the rebellion everywhere and not go back for two or three years. Why bother?"

Wang Xu ran from Xiyang, Huangzhou to Nanchang, Jiangzhou, and went to Yuwen Wen to recommend himself to serve the government army to pacify Lingnan because he heard that the general of the military commander of Chen State, Wang Meng, was the general of the military commander of Lingnan.

Although both of them were babies in Jiangling City back then and they could not have any friendship, their fathers had a connection, so Wang Xun came to Lingnan thousands of miles away to make contributions through this connection.

Of course, he was confident that he would go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but he could not convince everyone without experience in the army, and Yuwen Wen would not be entrusted with important positions as soon as he came up, so he could only take the risk to be a lobbyist.

If Wang Xu can convince Wang Meng to surrender and take Guangzhou without bloodshed, it will be a great achievement. Yuwen Wen will also value him in the future, so Wang Xu will make up his mind and must succeed in this trip.
