Chapter 1076: The land of gentleness and the tomb of heroes!
Looking at Huang Tong's resolute back, Song Weijie's eyes became hesitant and hesitant. Finally, before Huang Tong took the knife, he couldn't help but said:
“Wait a minute! Since Huang Tong insists on his own opinion, then in your opinion, what terms should I negotiate with the Fengwu Army…”

Faced with Song Weijie's question, Huang Tong fell into silence. Although he advocated negotiations with the Fengwu Army, he also clearly understood that the Fengwu Army did not have much sincerity in the peace talks, and Song Weijie's demands were relatively high, so it was difficult for both sides to reach a compromise!

The key reason why the two sides could not reach an agreement lies in the dominance of Sichuan's military and political affairs. Song Weijie could not accept that the territory he had conquered was handed over to Ye Mingsheng just like that!
Ye Mingsheng only had Sichuan and Shu as the last piece of the puzzle to unify the Great Zhou. Marshal Ye, who led the Fengwu Army to victory after victory across the country, looked down on Song Weijie, a secluded southwestern vassal state, and directly gave Song Weijie two choices!

Either kneel down and surrender, or live in shame!

Either fight to the bitter end or die tragically and heroically!
When these two wills collide, if one of them does not choose to compromise, then resolving the issue through force is inevitable!
And it is obvious that in this winner-takes-all game, Marshal Ye who is far away in Yijing has more chips and is almost invincible!
Therefore, it is almost impossible to expect Marshal Ye to change his will and make a fundamental compromise so that a country within a country would appear on the land of Da Zhou.

So the only one who might compromise now is Song Weijie, but is the Governor willing?
Thinking of this, Huang Tong subconsciously looked up at Song Weijie. They had known each other for many years and knew each other very well!
So even though Song Weijie had just mocked him in a sarcastic tone, Huang Tong could still feel the hesitation and indecision in his words!
This was something Song Weijie had never experienced before. In the past, Song Weijie had always been very confident that he could compete with the Fengwu Army and make Sichuan and Shu autonomous and become his own country!
As for the reason why Song Weijie had such a big change, Huang Tong boldly guessed that it had a lot to do with Lu Jianchao's surrender to the Fengwu Army. Song Weijie had always wanted to unite Jiangnan and Fengwu Army to compete with each other, but this plan was completely shattered with Lu Jianchao's surrender!

Seeing Huang Tong didn't say anything, Song Weijie sneered and said:
"Huang Tong, why are you silent?"

"Tell me, if you have any ideas, feel free to speak up!"

Hearing what Song Weijie said, Huang Tong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"If you take a step back, the world will be bright! Now Jiangnan has also been under the control of the Fengwu Army, and Ye Mingsheng's dominance is already established!"

“The ancients said that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity. The chaos and wars in various parts of the Great Zhou have lasted for many years, and people’s minds have settled. If we choose to continue to resist at this time, I’m afraid it won’t be...”

Huang Tong did not dare to say the last two words, but Song Weijie added coldly:

"Speak up? Why don't you say anything? Huang Tong, do you want to say that a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an egg trying to hit a stone?"

Feeling the murderous aura in Song Weijie's words, Huang Tong fell to his knees with a plop, but he said:

"Death penalty for lowly duties!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Weijie cast a death stare at Huang Tong, and then he spoke very coldly:
"Huang Tong, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Huang Tong felt a chill on his back as soon as he heard this, but he still said in a deep voice:
"I was promoted by the Governor-General to serve as the prefect. I have nothing to repay you for, but I would like to tell you something from my heart!"

"Back then, the Luoan court led by Shangguan Hongyuan was able to invade Shuzhong and destroy the Southern Tour court despite so many obstacles. Now, Ye Mingsheng's Yijing court is many times stronger than the Luoan court. If a war breaks out, our chances of winning are too low!"

Huang Tong felt sad when he said this, but he still gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Governor, Xu Zhaojie and Shangguan Changgong's previous experience are right in front of us!"

After saying this, Huang Tong was prepared in his heart that Song Weijie would drag him out and chop him to death in a rage. However, to his surprise, Song Weijie was not as furious as he expected. After a little hesitation, Huang Tong quietly raised his head and looked at Song Weijie...
At this time, Song Weijie also looked at Huang Tong, and the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. The next second, Huang Tong instinctively looked away!
After pondering for a moment, Song Weijie continued to ask:
"If this battle is unavoidable, Huang Tong, what do you think?"

Faced with this question, Huang Tong pondered for a while and said:
"I have two suggestions!"

"Say!"

Huang Tong, who had received permission, preached with a serious look:
"The Fengwu Army's Coordination Office is Ye Mingsheng's most loyal lackey. They are omnipresent and are good at creating conflicts within the enemy and inciting the enemy's important officials to rebel!"

"The Luoan court suffered a great loss because of this. Otherwise, given the strategic location of Wei Pass, it would be impossible for the Fengwu Army to break into Guanzhong so quickly!"

"Ye Mingsheng is the best at planning ahead, so I'm sure that at this moment, the people from the Coordination Office have already begun to look for opportunities within Sichuan!"

"So my first suggestion is to ask the Governor to strictly control our internal affairs to prevent the emergence of traitors!"

Hearing this, Song Weijie narrowed his eyes, and then Huang Tong said to himself:

"My second suggestion is that although Ye Mingsheng is a man of great talent and strategy, and he led the Fengwu Army to sweep across the country in just a few years, he is stubborn and self-righteous!"

“The aristocratic families in Guanzhong are all big and well-rooted, with luxuriant branches and leaves. When the Luoan court was still in existence, Ye Mingsheng tried to win over many of them. It is said that he gave them a lot of guarantees and promises in private…”

"This also made those Guanzhong families reserved when facing the Luoan court. After the Luoan court was destroyed, Ye Mingsheng turned his back on them. Not only did he announce that he would move the capital to Yijing, he also required those families to move to Yijing!"

"Ye Mingsheng's move is nothing more than to destroy the foundations of these Guanzhong families, so that they can no longer call the shots and stir up any waves!"

"But Ye Mingsheng acted too hastily, too arrogantly, and too contemptuously. Those noble families that have been able to stand for decades or even hundreds of years are naturally not easy to deal with!"

"Although they are now forced to bow down under the swords and guns of the Fengwu Army, I guess they must be thinking about how to get rid of Ye Mingsheng's oppression!"

"As long as the Fengwu Army takes action against us, it will be a very rare opportunity for them!"

"The Fengwu Army is in Guanzhong, and Yongliang only has Guo Zhiping's Second Army with about 39,000 soldiers. In normal times, these soldiers are barely enough!"

"But if the Second Army is withdrawn by Ye Mingsheng to attack Sichuan, then Guanzhong and Yongliang will be left without troops. Although those Guanzhong families have been dealt with by Ye Mingsheng, they have been rooted in Guanzhong for a hundred years and have a deep foundation. Their strength still remains!"

“I think once Guanzhong and Yongliang are short of troops, they will surely be ready to make a move. As long as we add fuel to the fire, we can ignite the flames of anger in their hearts towards Ye Mingsheng and the Fengwu Army…”

"When the war breaks out in Guanzhong, the Second Army of Fengwu Army will inevitably lose sight of the big picture and will most likely collapse without a fight!"

Listening to Huang Tong's words, Song Weijie's eyes flickered, as if he had imagined that beautiful scene. After a moment, Song Weijie came to his senses and asked Huang Tong in confusion:

"Huang Tong, you have such a brilliant plan, why do you still advocate surrendering to the Fengwu Army?"

Facing Song Weijie's puzzled gaze, Huang Tong spoke bitterly:

"Sir, even if everything I said has happened, it is still difficult to change the gap in strength between us and the Fengwu Army!"

"The Fengwu Army may fail once, twice, three times or even more times, but if we fail once, we will be doomed!"

"In fact, facing the Luoan court and the Zhennan Army, the Fengwu Army had been at a disadvantage before, but they managed to survive!"

"If a war against the Fengwu Army really breaks out in Guanzhong as I said, perhaps they will take advantage of the Fengwu Army's lack of manpower to win some victories in a short period of time, and their momentum will become greater!"

"But once the Fengwu Army draws reinforcements from other places, they will soon be suppressed again by the Fengwu Army, and the situation will once again be dominated by the Fengwu Army!"

At the end Huang Tong couldn't help but sighed, his expression showing endless sadness and loss. He was not a coward who was afraid of death and sold out his master for fame and fortune. In fact, in order to preserve the foundation created by Song Weijie these days, he had exhausted all his energy and thought of many ways. However, in the end Huang Tong had to face the reality·····························
Huang Tong's words could be said to be a basin of cold water falling from the sky, completely extinguishing the fire that had just risen in Song Weijie's heart, and this was also the reason why Song Weijie was in an extremely depressed mood.

For a while, Song Weijie and Huang Tong in the room did not explain and said anything. The room fell into a deathly silence. After a full cup of tea, Song Weijie took the lead in breaking the solemn atmosphere and said to Huang Tong:

"Huang Tong, I want to tell you something!"

"Please tell me, my lord!"

"Go to Yijing to negotiate with Ye Mingsheng on my behalf! Let Ye Mingsheng feel my determination!"

At the end, Song Weijie's expression became extremely serious, and his words were full of determination and fearlessness to perish together with his enemies. Seeing this, Huang Tong was also shocked and asked in a deep voice:

"Sir, what is the bottom line of the negotiation?"

Song Weijie shook his head and said:
"No! I want you to do everything you can to fight for me!"

"Huang Tong, tell me the best terms you can get for me. If I can accept them, I am willing to surrender. If I can't accept them, then we will fight!"

At the end, Song Weijie smiled freely and then continued:

“The worst outcome is nothing more than death. But even if I’m going to die, I’m going to bite off a piece of flesh from Ye Mingsheng and let him know that I, Song Weijie, am not a coward. Anyone who dares to despise me like this will have to pay the price…”

Jiangnan, Lin'an, Sun Mansion
At noon, Zhang Meng slowly sat up from an antique mahogany bed, served by a group of maids.

Looking at the maids in front of him who were serving him wholeheartedly, Zhang Meng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is how people should live!
At this moment, a fair-skinned, beautiful woman with outstanding temperament came over and said with a smile:

"My Lord General, you finally woke up!"

Looking at the smile on the girl's pretty face, Zhang Meng couldn't help but said with a smile:

"I was entangled with the fairy in my dream, but when I thought of you, Xiang'er, I woke up in a hurry!"

Hearing Zhang Meng say this, Sun Xianger also opened her cherry lips and said with some complaints:

"General He, I don't know how many women you have deceived with your smooth talk. They just don't believe your lies!"

Zhang Meng laughed when he heard this, and then he put his arm around Sun Xianger's slender waist and said with a smile:

"My dear Xiang Er, if you don't believe me, I might as well take out my heart and show it to you. Now it beats only for you!"

“Tsk! I don’t believe your nonsense…”

A few days ago, Lu Jianchao chose to surrender under the threat of the Fengwu Army. The Fengwu Army officially took over the prosperous Lin'an City. The generals of the Fengwu Army became the distinguished guests invited by all the major merchants in Lin'an City from the day they entered Lin'an City!

Faced with these invitations, some people chose to refuse, but some chose to accept, such as Zhang Meng, commander of the Fourth Army. He accepted the invitation of Sun Wenheng, the owner of Dashengchang, and lived in Sun's Mansion!
As the saying goes, the land of pleasure is the grave of heroes. There was no doubt that Zhang Meng, the iron-blooded general of the Fengwu Army, fell into the money and sex trap carefully prepared by Sun Wenheng!
The two flirted for a while, and just when Zhang Meng couldn't help but get excited and was about to have sex with Sun Xiang'er, Sun Xiang'er whispered in his ear:

"My enemy! I am already your servant, General Zhang, why are you so impatient?"

"My godfather has something important to discuss with you, General!"

Zhang Meng did not stop his actions after hearing this. He prepared to strip Sun Xianger's clothes while continuing to say:
"Xiang'er, this is the serious matter. Ask your godfather to wait for a while!"

Sun Xianger smiled and pushed Zhang Meng away, then raised three white and tender fingers to Zhang Meng. Seeing this, Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Three thousand taels?"
