Chapter 315 Negotiations between Aziz and Guan Yuan (3)
"What did you say?" Aziz paused and asked again after hearing these words.
"Please give some food to the soldiers in the city." Guan Yuan repeated again.
"You mean, before you formally surrender, I will provide you with food?" Aziz said according to his own understanding.
"The general said it well."
"Are you kidding?" Aziz finally showed a sneering expression. "Why should I provide food before you formally surrender?"
Although he felt that Qin Na's army might surrender, what if he didn't surrender? What if Li Bai was just playing with him? Isn't providing food equivalent to meat buns and hitting dogs?
"Don't the general think it's better to let our army surrender to the general tomorrow?" Guan Yuan said again.
Aziz continued to sneer. He suddenly felt that Li Bai had not actually wanted to surrender, and sent Guan Yuan to give him a full meal.
Wait, have a full meal? Aziz suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and said to the person in front of him: "It is natural not to provide enough food for the whole city to eat; but I can give Instructor Li a sheep."
He pointed to the whole roasted lamb on the shelf next to his table and continued, "I'll give this lamb to Instructor Li and invite him to have a meal today so he won't faint when he meets me."
"This," Guan Yuan looked at the roasted whole sheep that had never been moved and immediately understood Aziz's intention. A sheep can reach up to 100 kilograms, which is not enough for more than 4,000 people to stuff the teeth. If Li Bai gave this sheep to everyone, it would be equivalent to everyone not eating it.
But if Li Bai distributes it unevenly and only allows a very small number of people to eat, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among those who cannot eat it and split the city. Regardless of whether they surrender or not, conflicts between the Tang army in the city will be a good thing for the Dashi Army.
"Thank you, General." But Guan Yuan did not ask again, but bowed to thank him. No matter how he asked, Aziz would not agree to give food. It is better to get a sheep than not to get it, and it is better to have a sheep that can be stuck between the teeth than not.
"Although I've had enough food, I still don't have the strength to do it. The general needs to send someone to carry the sheep into the city." He said again.
"This is OK. I will send four soldiers to carry this sheep into the city. In addition, I will send one person to help you back." Aziz asked for helping him to send someone into the city and immediately agreed.
"I would also like to send a general with a high level of official position to meet Instructor Li and tell him in person the general's conditions."
"This is OK," Aziz looked at He Pu and Shi Xin.
"Subordinate," He Pu was about to recommend himself, but suddenly his heart jumped again and immediately changed his words: "Subordinate believes that the general should send a general with a large food quota, which can be believed by Instructor Li and show his sincerity."
"That's right." Aziz thought for a while, and it seemed more sincere to send a big cannibal into the city. He turned his head and whispered to the guard.
The guard received the order and retreated. Soon, a tall and strong general of Dashi came in and saluted Aziz. "Greetings to the general."
"Rugman, you come into the city with the guards, meet Instructor Li, and tell him the conditions we have offered to persuade him to surrender." Aziz said.
"Did that man Qin agree to surrender?" The general's face immediately showed a look of happiness and regret.
"It hasn't been officially agreed, it's just possible." Aziz replied, and said to him: "You must remember the conditions firmly. First, if all Qin's army in the city surrenders,..."
"Did you remember?" Aziz asked after saying that.
"Remember. First, if all Qin troops in the city surrender,..." Rugman repeated.
“Say it again.”
"Yes." Rugman repeated again.
"Okay. Go." Aziz said to him, and then said to Guan Yuan: "This is a general under my command. He will enter the city to pay homage to Instructor Li."
"The meat is so strong, enough..." Guan Yuan murmured in a low voice, raised his head and said to Aziz: "Thank you, General. I have no other requests, so I can go back to the city."
"You guys go." Aziz nodded and said, "I hope you can hear good news as soon as possible."
"The general will definitely hear good news soon." Guan Yuan said again, and left the tent with the help of a large food soldier. Rugman bowed to Aziz again and quickly followed. Four more soldiers raised the roasted sheep.
"You think, will the Qin army in the city surrender? If they surrender, when will the news come?" After they all left, Aziz asked He Pu and Shi Xindao again. The language he used was still a big divine language.
"It's hard to say." He Pu thought for a while and replied.
"It's hard to say?"
"General, this matter is divided into two situations. The first is that Li Bai had long wanted to surrender, but in order to win better conditions for surrender, he kept sending people to negotiate today. If this is the case, then Li Bai would send someone to inform us that we are willing to surrender before dark.
The second situation is that Li Bai temporarily intends to surrender, so the result may not be obtained tomorrow or even the next day, because he must persuade most generals in the city to agree. And the final news may be that he is willing to surrender or unwilling to surrender."
"It makes sense. So which situation do you think is more likely?"
"The second situation is more likely. If you wanted to surrender a long time ago, you should have sent someone to negotiate yesterday afternoon instead of delaying it until today, because it is very likely that you will not send someone to continue to persuade the surrender today."
"So, we will not know the final result tomorrow or even the next day?"
"It's probably the case."
"Okay, then I'll wait." Aziz was a little impatient when he first heard He Pu's analysis, but he quickly recovered. He had been waiting outside the city for a year and a half, and he was not in a hurry for a day or two.
"General Aziz, can I lead the Hardy soldiers to the valley entrance by boat? It is already 13:00 p.m.," He Pu said again.
"I almost forgot, sorry. Hurry up, tell the dock to prepare and drive the ship when General He and Shigazi arrive." Aziz said hurriedly. He really forgot about He Pu and Shi Xin's need to lead troops away.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry." He said repeatedly.
"General, we all understand." He Pu said this again and left with Shi Xin. Aziz gave the two of the armor they had worn when they were just shouting under the city with apologies. The two of them thanked again.
"Do you think the Tang army in the city will really surrender?" On the way to the dock, Shi Xin couldn't help asking He Pu.
"You want to hear the truth?"
"Of course I want to hear the truth."
"I just don't know the truth." He Pu teased him and said seriously: "I know nothing about Li Bai's behavior and cannot judge at all.
However, if Li Bai just pretends to surrender, the six big cannibals entering the city will be in danger."
