Chapter 2733 Don’t leave

Bai Shan made no secret of his thoughts. After all the guests arrived, he treated everyone to food and drinks while talking about his life in Chang'an and the emperor's preferential treatment to his subordinates.

Nowadays, surrendered generals, ministers, and even princes and nobles are given preferential treatment. As long as you have the ability, even if you were the king's grandson, you can rely on your ability to become a prince, prime minister, or even lead troops to guard a side.

There are precedents for these.

As long as they no longer seek death in rebellion, even if they make mistakes, the emperor will treat them more favorably than ordinary subjects.

There are also precedents.

Goguryeo is just a Shu state in the Jin Dynasty. It occupies only two or three states, and even one is much larger than it. So what future can you have here?

Not to mention that your appointment as an official depends solely on family background and power. If the head of the family commits something in this matter, the descendants will not have the opportunity to enter the powerful class again within several generations.

Unlike the Jin Dynasty, unless the crime is extremely heinous, it will not harm the imperial examination of the descendants.

In addition to the imperial examinations, there are also police examinations, and you can even spend money to buy officials. There are various methods. As long as you are talented, rich, or powerful, you can always find a suitable way to get ahead.

Does your vassal state have these?

And why do people want positions of power?

Isn’t it just for a life of glory and wealth?

But how old was Goguryeo? It was also located in a bitterly cold region. It could not be as vast and wealthy as the entire Jin Dynasty. After the surrender, the sky was wide and the sea was wide for you to walk around. It was much more convenient for vassal subjects to enter and exit the Jin Dynasty.

Not to mention, the generals and families who surrendered are inherently meritorious, and it will not be difficult at all to find an official position when the time comes.

Although everyone knew that Bai Shan had bad intentions and said these words to persuade Jin to surrender, everyone still couldn't help but listen.

This is the reason why Nisa does not want them to contact.

Everyone has selfish motives. Who said that to persuade someone to surrender, one has to do it in secret?

If Bai Shan comes openly and openly, won’t those who listen take it seriously?

Of course not. Even if they spoke righteously and argued with Bai Shan with serious faces, Bai Shan could still see the hesitation and entanglement in their hearts.

He didn't need them to reply immediately, he just smiled and didn't force it. He just turned around and had someone prepare a different gift for them in return.

Bai Shan personally sent everyone to the door, and each person gave a box. He smiled and said: "This is a local product I brought from Chang'an. It is not a good thing. Take it back and enjoy it."

He smiled and said: "I sincerely think about you, and I also sincerely want to persuade the second prince to surrender. I also ask that you can persuade the second prince on your behalf when you see him."

Everyone did not expect that he would say such words to his face. He said it in front of the guard at the door, and they were speechless for a moment.

Bai Shan did not stop, he said: "The ancestors have said that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. The general trend of the world is that after separation, it must be reunited. The Liaodong area has been separated from the Central Plains for a long enough time. Why don't the second prince follow the trend of the times?"

He smiled and said: "With the abilities of the second prince, how could he know that he would not become the next General Ashina and his name would go down in history?"

Everyone was silent again, and after accepting the gifts, they left.

They did not go to see Prince Gao immediately, but first opened the box on the carriage. When they saw the pearls/gems/spice inside, they only glanced at it and then looked away, focusing on the letter in the box.

Take it out immediately and take it apart to look at it.

Some people's expressions did not change. After all, it was still the words he had said to persuade them to surrender, but the above made a more straightforward promise. As long as they surrendered, they would be given official positions. If they could persuade the second prince to surrender, the promised

Official positions will only get bigger.

Yuan Yi and others' expressions remained unchanged, but they were pondering whether to go home directly or turn around to see the second prince.

However, the expressions of Mr. Meng and others who had followed along the way changed, because the letter headers were their names. Not only that, the words of persuasion to surrender and the promises made in each letter were different.

Mr. Meng was also surprised, "Father, we came here on an impromptu basis. He never left before. How could he write this letter of surrender so quickly? Do they still have think tanks among their envoys?"

Mr. Meng rubbed the words with his fingers, raised his hand, smelled it and shook his head, "This was not written just now, or even written today. I'm afraid he has already guessed that we will come."

"That……"

Master Meng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said after a while: "We don't have enough food at home. The batch of food and grass promised to the second prince will be delayed for a while. When asked, he said that he is still preparing it. There is really no more in the warehouse."

Mr. Meng was startled and asked in a low voice: "What if... they use force?"

"Our Meng family has been operating in Anshi City for generations, and we are not vegetarians. When you go back, you will recruit all the shop assistants to come to your home and protect the yard. The second prince will have to wait. I think this letter

I must not be the only one who received it."

Mr. Meng sighed, "This envoy Bai persuaded him to surrender without any scruples. This is a conspiracy. It shows that the Jin State is very confident. The second prince should not have agreed to the generals coming to see him."

Mr. Meng: ...If the generals don’t come to see him, they can’t follow him.

General Meng lamented, "Times are also destiny. If we didn't make this trip, we wouldn't think of adapting to the times."

Xue Gui stood one step behind Bai Shan and watched all the carriages leave his sight with him. He asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that they will go to see the second prince?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "As an envoy, I am here to persuade you to surrender. Now I am just doing my job. I also hope that they can persuade the second prince for me. How can I be afraid of them going to see the second prince?"

Bai Shan turned around and returned to the courtyard under the gaze of the guard at the door. When he returned to the lobby, he asked Xue Gui, "Have the letters been put in according to their identities?"

"Yes." Xue Gui took out the remaining five letters, "No one comes to these homes."

Bai Shan took it and waved. After the guard brought the brazier, he opened all the letters inside and burned them one by one. "It's a pity. But although there are fewer people than I expected, there are still a lot of people coming."

They are all important people. Obviously, there are a lot of people here who are in a state of unrest."

Xue Gui: "Can you really bribe and persuade them?"

Bai Shan: "Who knows?"

He said very honestly: "I have done my best. Whether it succeeds or not, the rest depends on God's will."

Xue Gui: ...it feels so unreliable.

Daji came in and asked: "Okay, do we want to leave?"

If this matter reaches the ears of the second prince, he will definitely be angry, and he is afraid that he will use violence against Bai Shan.

Bai Shan thought for a while and then shook his head, "No, if we leave now, the people who just received the letter will lose confidence in us. It's inappropriate. If we wait any longer, we won't run away without endangering our lives."

Xue Gui felt that Bai Shan was very courageous. He was worthy of being a man who could go to the battlefield. He still had courage.
