"Of course!"
Li Ru nodded firmly, looking easy to talk to, and said with a smile, "We never force anyone to do anything against their will. If you want us to launch a forceful attack, that's fine too."
However, at that time Zhennan will probably..."
His words were brief and to the point, offering no further advice and leaving the choice to Nan Ke.
Nan Ke's face turned green!
What good would a direct assault do? It would only result in widespread devastation and death.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go!!!"
So what if it's embarrassing? I'm doing this for the safety of the people of Zhennan. They'll understand.
"Haha, the king is merciful!"
A smile flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he immediately sent someone to take Nan Ke and his son to knock on the door.
The fact that the attack was able to proceed so quickly this time was not only due to the formidable strength of the Great Liang, but also largely thanks to the efforts of Nan Ke and his son.
As two prisoners of extremely high status, they made great contributions in guiding the way, and some of their tricky routes made even the Net a powerful military organization) admit defeat.
It must be said that those who know these secrets are truly among our own people.
Moreover, their past identities give them inherent influence, and even though their glory has faded, they still wield some influence.
Now, Nan Yu must be in a state of panic, like an ant on a hot pan. She should know what it means to settle things peacefully.
If they still don't know how to make choices in the face of the million-strong army of Great Liang, then Great Liang will only be able to annihilate the last two hundred thousand Zhennan soldiers once again.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion on the opposite city wall.
Everyone's gaze sharpened, instantly locking onto the city wall, eager to see what the other side was up to, that they had suddenly made a move.
Soon, a basket was placed down, and a person was sitting inside.
"Oh, this is interesting!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. The other party was using this basket to put people down so openly; they must want to talk business.
What does this mean? Does the other side want to surrender immediately?
Zhang Liao glanced at Zhang Fei beside him, then gestured with his lip and said, " Yide, you used to be in the Court of Diplomatic Reception, go and talk to him!"
"OK!"
Zhang Fei tucked his twelve-foot spear into his waistband, then beckoned to the man, signaling him to come over and have a chat.
The newcomer paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "General, are you General Zhang Liao?"
"I am Zhang Yide of Great Liang, and the one behind me is Zhang Liao. Just tell me what you need to say; I'm a professional." Zhang Fei waved his hand casually.
It's nothing more than negotiating terms; I know all about it from the perspective of the Court of Diplomatic Reception Ceremonial, so there's no problem at all.
The man's eyes lit up, and he pulled a letter from his robes, handing it to Zhang Fei. He whispered, "General Zhang, this is a letter from our Prime Minister. He wants General Zhang Liao to see it."
oh!
Zhang Fei glanced at the envelope subconsciously, and was taken aback when he saw the standard Great Liang script on it. He was surprised that the prime minister actually knew Great Liang script.
He immediately opened it and began to examine it, but as he looked at it, his expression turned strange.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask!"
After saying that, he walked directly towards Zhang Liao.
What's going on?
Zhang Liao was taken aback; this was a messenger.
Zhang Fei handed him the letter, looking at him strangely, and said, "Look at this, this is interesting!"
"Huh!"
Hearing his words, Li Ru couldn't help but come closer. After seeing the contents, he exclaimed in surprise, then couldn't help but laugh.
However, after laughing, he couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Nan Ke.
Grunt!
Nan Ke shuddered at that look. What was going on? Why did it feel like the other person was pitying him?
Zhang Liao tossed the letter to him, saying meaningfully, "Take a look, I hope you like it!"
Upon receiving the letter, Nan Ke glanced at it and was completely baffled; he didn't recognize it at all.
He immediately found a translator, who glanced at the document and looked at it with sympathy before explaining it to him.
"This letter was written by Chancellor Zan Rihong of Zhennan, stating that he can help Great Liang completely conquer Zhennan. To show his sincerity, he can give the king to Great Liang."
If Great Liang could spare his life, he would gladly hand over Zhennan and even help clean up the mess!
Ahhh!
Upon hearing the translator's words, Nan Ke exploded. He roared, "You bastard, Zan Rihong, you dog, how could you betray the trust I placed in you?"
"And Nan Yu, you unfilial son! You've conspired with a tiger for its skin! Don't you realize that others are using you as a condition for their survival? You deserve to die!"
What did they take the king for in this way? A plaything?
Moreover, this guy is going to actively cleanse the capital. If he does that, my Nan Clan might be wiped out.
That bastard is too ruthless; he's willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the Zhennan leadership to save his own.
He was even more disappointed in his youngest son.
He thought he was so great just because he became king, but now he's being plotted against by Zan Rihong. He's just a fool, and he probably doesn't even have time to regret it.
"What? Zan Rihong actually dared to do this?"
Nan Yiming was also furious. This former subject actually dared to betray his master; he was indeed no good.
He glanced at his father instinctively, and seeing the worry on his face, his heart sank.
The problem now lies with Zhang Liao!
Once Zhang Liao agrees to the other party's demands, Great Liang can take the capital without losing a single soldier; the only cost would be his own family.
Nan Ke walked straight to Zhang Liao and said bitterly, "General, I..." He desperately wanted to get a chance, but he knew in his heart that it would be difficult.
After all, if Zhang Liao accepted Zan Rihong's conditions, he could take the capital without losing a single soldier, and the capital would be completely wiped out by Zan Rihong.
From any perspective, there's no reason not to accept this.
Zhang Liao glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Don't worry, my Great Liang never cooperates with traitors. Besides, Great Liang is already determined to take Zhennan Capital; it's already in our grasp. Why would we need someone else to hand it over!"
How could he possibly let Zan Rihong have the military merit he had just earned?
This guy is ambitious; he'll only cause trouble if we leave him alive. It's better to get rid of him.
It seems that Zhou Yu has already broken through from the rear, and the remaining 200,000 men in Zhennan are like turtles in a jar. It will be enough to take them down without much effort.
"The General is truly righteous!"
Nan Ke was overjoyed, feeling that Zhang Liao was much more pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Liao glanced at him and sneered, "This attack will be a frontal assault; you'll come along too!"
"Good!"
Nan Ke gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.
My entire family's lives are hanging by a thread. If I'm not smart enough, I'll be doomed. I have no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, he still had a few men under his command among the enemy's defenders, who could be of some use and perhaps save a few of his family members.
