Chapter Twelve: Pretending to surrender to the enemy

"Jie'er, do you have any good suggestions?"

The more Wei Zi thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Jie's words made sense. He asked directly without caring about his old face. Anyway, it was his grandson. If he really thought it carefully than himself, that would be a good thing!

"I need to meet General Zhu Xu and talk to him!"

Wei Jie had an idea in his mind, but whether this idea could be realized depends on Zhu Xu's attitude.

"Okay, it's urgent. I'll take you there now!" Wei Zi was also anxious and stood up without saying a word and wanted to take Wei Jie to find Zhu Xu.

"No, grandpa, I can only talk to him alone. The fewer people I know about, the better!" Wei Jie had his own concerns. What he wanted to do was to influence the historical process, and it could even be said to be to create history. Of course, the fewer people involved, the better.

Wei Zi was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Jie's persistent eyes, and laughed and shook his head. Good boy, he was really unable to see through. This change is too big!

"Okay, you're here to wait, let your boy's score be more appropriate, I'll let General Zhu Xu come here to pay homage to you!" After that, Wei Zi laughed and left the room.

So far, Wei Heng has not said a word to his son. In his opinion, his son seemed to have grown up overnight and became extremely unfamiliar with him. Although this change was what he wanted to see, the son in front of him had begun to make him feel the illusion that he needed to look up to.

Just nodding towards Wei Jie, Wei Heng left the room. No matter what, you are my Wei Heng's son!

Wei Jie saw Xie Xuan's shadow in Zhu Xu. The two of them had similar temperaments. They were both very graceful Confucian generals. If there were any differences, Zhu Xu would be a little older and had more vicissitudes of life, while Xie Xuan would be a little more calm and composed!

From the moment he entered the door, he had enough time to speak. Zhu Xu had never spoken. He just sat quietly at the table and savored tea. He didn't speak, and Wei Jie didn't speak. The two seemed to be waiting for each other to speak, and they seemed to be observing each other.

"I heard from your grandfather that you said that Xiangyang City will be destroyed?" Zhu Xu, dressed in a Confucian scholar, spoke, neither anxious nor slow, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his tone was gentle.

"Yes!" Wei Jie said affirmatively.

"reason?"

"I'm sure you, including my grandfather and my father, are not Murong Chui's opponents!" What can Wei Jie say? Could it be that Xiangyang City was captured in history at the hands of you, Zhu Xu, and you, Zhu Xu, were captured and surrendered to the enemy!

"Do you know Murong Chui very well?" Zhu Xu didn't think so, and there was no change in his emotions on his firm face.

"At thirteen years old, he is already the best of the three armies. He has experienced countless battles of all sizes and sizes, and has few defeats. He is good at using strange weapons. The use of weapons is unpredictable. In addition, this person is even more talented and wise. If it were not for his brother's jealousy, he could not bear to be killed by his brother and turned to Fu Jian. It is very likely that Murong Chui will be unified in the north, not Fu Jian!" Wei Jie sorted out Murong Chui's information in his mind and told him in a leisurely manner.

"I wonder how the constant temperature of General Zhu compares to his then?"

Zhu Xu remained silent. All those who led the troops to fight understood that Murong Chui was a myth on the battlefield and was synonymous with invincibility. He himself was also a famous general in the world. He had already had the determination to die for the city, but the court sent reinforcements from the Wei family father and son. You must know that he issued the request for reinforcements a year ago.

Zhu Xu knew that in the court, some people were as concerned about the Wei family as they were about him, and wanted to use the hands of the Former Qin to get rid of them. Now the Great Jin Dynasty is already in internal and external troubles, but the people in the court are still fighting for power and expelling dissidents. If he dies himself, he will die. It’s a pity that the three generations of loyal and kind-hearted Wei family are the cornerstones of the Great Jin Dynasty!

"While it's still time, you should advise your grandpa to lead troops out of Xiangyang, so that you can preserve your vitality for my great Jin Dynasty. I will report to the court to take all the responsibilities and do my best to excuse the Wei family!"

Wei Jie secretly praised in his heart that Zhu Xu was indeed extraordinary. He saw things thoroughly. No matter it was the intrigue in the court or the tricks Murong Chui on the battlefield a few days ago, he could not escape the eyes of this general. He could see through it, but he was unable to break the deadlock.

"General Zhu is loyal and brave, and he is even more righteous. Wei Jie admires him. I dare to ask General Zhu if he can give up everything for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"Of course, I think that Zhu Xu is also a descendant of a famous family. It is natural to be loyal to the country. I will live and die with Xiangyang City. But I don't want the Wei family to become a victim of political struggles. The second young master is smart and should be able to understand what I mean!" Zhu Xu was already determined to die and was calm when he spoke, but his emotions fluctuated slightly when he talked about the Wei family.

"What if the general was asked to surrender the charge of treason?" Wei Jie picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said softly.

"General, don't be excited. After listening to me, I have a plan to protect my family and leave a way out for General Zhu, and also leave a chance to make a contribution to the counterattack of the Jin Dynasty in the future!"

Zhu Xu, who was excited, looked at him with an incredible look after hearing Wei Jie's words. He could already guess what Wei Jie meant, and he wanted him to pretend to surrender to the enemy. He was undercover in the Former Qin Dynasty. In the future, the Jin Dynasty counterattacked the Northern Expedition. He could also do his part.

Wei Jie was not in a hurry. Seeing Zhu Xu's expression changing constantly, he did not tempt him again. This decision needed to be done by himself. He believed that Zhu Xu would agree in the end, because that's how history records it!

It was really difficult to make such a decision by someone with the word "loyalty" on his forehead. After a long time, Zhu Xu sat on the chair like a deflated temper.

"I want to hear if the second young master has any other great ideas!"

"Now the fore Qin national strength is growing, and invading Xiangyang is only the first step. In the future, the army will move south and force Jiankang. It can be foreseeable that General Zhu doesn't want to leave a useful body and give the Fore Qin a fatal blow at critical moments?"

"Of course, if General Zhu cannot bear the shame brought by treason and cannot endure humiliation, just pretend that I didn't say anything. General Zhu has the affair with Xiangyang City, and my descendants of the Wei family can do the same!" Wei Jie stood up and used his passionate emotions to add another fire!

"Horse humiliation and bear the burden, bear the burden..." Zhu Xu murmured, but his eyes gradually became brighter.

"The second young master genius, far-sighted, Zhu Xu accepted your proposal, but I have a request!"

"Please speak frankly, General!"

Wei Jie responded, but he felt very sorry in his heart: "If I had known you would agree, why would you waste so much of my saliva!"

"I would like to ask the second young master to tell the first assistant Xie An and Xie that I, Zhu Xu, is loyal. Now I have just been to join the Former Qin Dynasty for the future!" Zhu Xu, who had figured it out, finally restored his style of Confucian general and said calmly.

"It must be a message! It's just that this false surrender to the enemy needs to be perfect, and appropriate sacrifices are necessary to avoid Murong Chui and others suspicion..." Wei Jie said carefully.

"Let's leave these to you here, and it will definitely not make the Former Qin side suspicious!" Zhu Xu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he was head-on. He was not your Murong Chui's opponent. Could it be that he could not deceive you once? At worst...

"Wei Jie said goodbye, General, please prepare for it yourself!" The goal was achieved, Wei Jie stood up and left, and now he was waiting to see how Zhu Xu continued to sing the play. There was still a problem at the moment, how to persuade the stubborn old man in his family to return to Jiankang City.

Wei Zi and Wei Heng couldn't guess what Wei Jie had to solve the current dilemma. They were waiting anxiously in the room when they were staring at each other and sighing, Wei Jie pushed the door and entered.

"How? Jie'er, can you discuss with General Zhu what good idea?" As soon as he saw Wei Jie, Wei Hu hurried forward, grabbed his shoulder, and asked.

"pain!"

Wei Jie felt that his shoulders were wrapped around two iron hoops, so he subconsciously shouted out. Wei Jie hurriedly let go and smiled embarrassedly.

"General Zhu is very envious. I can't figure out what he is thinking. But grandpa, you have to be mentally prepared. Zhu Xu is a smart person. I'm afraid he has seen through Murong Chui's attacking skills, but he doesn't point it out. I don't know what he is thinking in his heart!"

"Jie'er, what do you mean?"

"The intention of guarding others is necessary!" Wei Jie thought, once Zhu Xu announced his surrender to the enemy, even though he knew that he could not do anything, the old man would not be able to return to Jiankang with him. If he pretended to surrender to the enemy, he would better find another opportunity to talk to him slowly in the future.
