Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 146 Please come down
Pan Mei was indeed very upset. Zhao Dezhao gave him a clear order to capture Panyu before Liu Ying and his ministers opened the city gate and surrendered. has come up.

In this way, doesn't it mean that the mission has just begun, and it has completely failed?No matter how capable a general is, he will not be able to lead an army to conquer a city that opens its gates and surrenders on its own initiative!

Pan Mei was a little hesitant, thinking about whether to send someone back to ask Zhao Dezhao for instructions, but he immediately put an end to this idea, that His Royal Highness is a dog-tempered person, and he can laugh and laugh with you when he has nothing to do, but Once it comes down to serious work, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

The only solution for now is to think of another way. Since there is no opportunity, then create an opportunity!

Thinking of this, Pan Mei rolled her eyes twice, and said in a deep voice: "Whether those people's identities are true, have you checked carefully? According to General Ben, that small group of riders may be scouts sent by the enemy." Work carefully, pretending that you want to ask for surrender, but actually intend to inquire about our military situation!"

The scouting riders were stunned for a moment, and the flag officer stared at Pan Mei with wide-eyed eyes. There was an absurd look in his eyes, as if he wondered whether Pan Mei's mind was being overwhelmed by the hot summer in Lingnan. There was something wrong with the heat, otherwise why would this usually shrewd and capable general say such stupid things?What secret work blatantly pretends to be an envoy and asks to surrender to inquire about the military situation?Fortunately, he figured it out!

After being stunned for a while, the probing rider lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Reporting to the general, of course it has been checked. I have asked their names, checked the documents and seals they carried, and the treasures they carried. suspicious--"

Pan Mei didn't wait for him to finish, and scolded with a cold face: "This general said that it is a meticulous work, and it is a careful work!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and yelled sharply: "Give me a military order to bring all the fine workmen to the Chinese army. This general will interrogate himself!"

The probing rider trembled in fright, he didn't dare to make any further arguments, he took the order, jumped on the horse, and galloped forward.

Then Pan Mei turned her head, stared at the banner officer and ordered: "The previous order is cancelled! You pass on my military order, and immediately select [-] horses with acceptable horsepower from the army, and then gather [-] elite soldiers The cavalry is on standby!"

The flag officer opened his mouth, but he wisely decided to keep his mouth shut. After accepting his orders loudly, he was in a hurry.

Half a quarter of an hour later, an old man in fine clothes and high crown, together with more than a dozen entourages in green clothes and caps behind him, were tied up with a long rope and turned into a bunch of crabs. Arrived in front of Pan Mei.

The old man in fine clothes was trembling with fear, but he was full of doubts. He knew very well that since ancient times, any envoy who asked the enemy to surrender should not expect to be respected and treated with courtesy. People are tied up, and they insist that it is "elaborate work", which country's reasoning is this?Hasn't the Song Dynasty always boasted of being lenient?
Before he could figure it out, he was kicked heavily in the crook of his hind leg.

"When you see General Pan, why don't you kneel down and pay respects?!" a Song Army junior in charge of escort yelled.

The old man in fine clothes staggered a step, and fell to his knees with a thump, and the group of people who were tied by the long rope couldn't help themselves, and had to fall to the ground.

Pan Mei witnessed this embarrassment with her own eyes, and she grinned happily.

The old man in Chinese clothes looked up at Pan Mei, tremblingly said: "Excuse me, is your Excellency General Pan Meipan?"

Pan Mei stopped smiling, and asked viciously, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

The attitude of the old man in fine clothes was extremely humble, but the expression on his face was quite aggrieved, as if he felt that with his honorable status and sincerity, he should not be treated so roughly, he lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"The old man's surname is Chen, and his single name is Yu. He is appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also titled Prince Taifu..."

Pan Mei didn't have the patience to listen to his self-reported official name. He just felt that the tone of this person's speech seemed weird, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he waved and said, "Stand up and talk."

Chen Yu stood up unsteadily, but was immediately pulled by the long rope on his body, and suddenly fell down and fell into a mess.

Pan Mei held back her smile, and waved her hand as a signal. Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and untied Chen Yu. Only then did Chen Yu stand firm.

Pan Mei suddenly noticed something. He stared at Chen Yu, pointed at him and laughed so hard that he almost fell off his horse.

It turned out that half of the thick and beautiful long beard under Chen Yu's chin was missing half of it, as if half of it had been shaved off by a shaving man, and the remaining half was still hanging on the front of his robe, obviously from a fall. When it was shaved off, it was naturally a fake beard. His appearance looked so weird, and several Song Army generals who followed Pan Mei couldn't help laughing one by one.

"Your grandma, no wonder I think your voice doesn't sound right. It turns out that your grandma is an eunuch, and her beard is glued on to hide her ugliness!"

Pan Mei spat hard on the ground, and the little pity in her heart for this old man had disappeared without a trace.

As early as the beginning of the Southern Expedition, when he chatted with Zhao Dezhao, he had heard repeatedly that the little emperor Liu Xuan of the Southern Han Dynasty only trusted eunuchs, and believed that only eunuchs who had been eunuchs could serve him wholeheartedly. In the imperial court, only those who have been stabbed in the lower part of the body can gain his trust and be qualified to be promoted to high-ranking officials. As a result, some profiteers are willing to do self-eunuchs in order to get promoted and make a fortune. The absurd act of being promoted, since the Chen Yu in front of him claims to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Prince Taifu, he must be a self-eunuch who seeks to advance, otherwise how can there be an eunuch in the world to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

For such a shameless bastard, Pan Mei naturally did not lie at all. He rode his horse and approached a few steps, and the snort of his mount almost sprayed Chen Yu's face.

Pan Mei raised the horsewhip in her hand, pointed at Chen Yu and yelled, "You are asking me, Da Song, to surrender, but are you sincere?"

Chen Yu hurriedly bowed and replied: "General Mingjian, the whole country is sincerely submitting to the Song Dynasty, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Pan Mei rubbed her chin, and suddenly asked in a cold voice: "I, Song Dynasty, killed a captured Liu family member in Yanguan. You must not know about it? Why is Liu Xuan still willing to surrender? Dare to surrender?"

After all, Pan Mei stared at Chen Yu, and she found a trace of panic flashing in the other's eyes.
