I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 30 Are you all willing to leave the city and discuss the matter of surrendering with General Dong?

Mo Fei escorted the two to the camp gate, watched them mount their horses and gradually disappear into the distance, and was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Living in such times, everyone lives cautiously and humbly, not knowing if we will ever meet again after this parting.

After calming himself down, Mo Fei turned to the little winter melon who had been following him and said:

"What are your plans for the future? You're a young lady, don't always think about fighting and bloodshed. Wouldn't it be better to learn needlework and embroidery?"

When Little Winter Melon saw Mo Fei asking a question, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Since the Buddha's Smile Pavilion was destroyed, I have been with Sister Qiuxue and Junbao."

"Now I'm all alone, and I don't know where to go."

After a moment's thought, Little Winter Melon suddenly smiled knowingly and said to Mo Fei:

"How about I just follow you?"

After she finished speaking, she blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at Mo Fei with anticipation.

Mo Fei took a closer look at the small winter melon in front of him.

At this moment, she was wearing a light green silk dress, and her long, black hair, which had been tied up in a bun, was now loose and draped over her shoulders, reaching up to her waist.

Her slender figure and flawless, delicate skin, paired with her sweet face, are truly a feast for the eyes.

"It's not impossible. You're quite skilled in martial arts, and I happen to be thinking of forming a unit mainly composed of women. How about I put you in charge?"

"really?"

When Little Winter Melon heard that Mo Fei wanted him to command an army, he cheered excitedly and hurriedly asked Mo Fei for confirmation.

"Since I have said it, I will not go back on my word. However, I have one request that you must agree to."

Mo Fei looked at the excited little winter melon and a wicked smile bloomed from the corner of his mouth.

Having such a beautiful woman by my side is a feast for the eyes, even just looking at her every day is a treat.

"Tell me what you want, and I'll agree to it."

Little Winter Melon eagerly pressed on with the question:

Perhaps seeing his impatient look, he also gave up his teasing intentions.

"You must recruit the members of this army yourself. In the future, you will be mainly responsible for the care of wounded soldiers, food and logistics. If you are willing, I will give you the right to recruit people immediately."

Upon hearing that his unit was only used to care for the wounded and manage logistical tasks, Xiao Donggua's enthusiasm immediately waned.

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, she asked Mo Fei:

"Can't I go to the battlefield to fight? You're basically making me your logistics captain."

"Is there any distinction between high and low status among soldiers? Everyone has their value, and the battlefield can't just be about fighting, right?"

"If a soldier is wounded and recovers after your care and treatment, our army will have gained another battle-hardened veteran. Your role may be even greater than if you went directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Little Winter Melon thought about it carefully and realized that Mo Fei's words made a lot of sense. He immediately became happy again and asked impatiently:

"When can I start recruiting?"

Perhaps he had managed to persuade Little Winter Melon, and he felt a slight sense of joy.

He casually summoned one of his bodyguards and gave him the order:

"Take her to find a set of general's armor that's a bit too small for her to change into."

"Find a few more people from the recruitment office to accompany him to Cangzhou City in the rear to recruit soldiers."

Leaving aside the fact that they are actively recruiting new soldiers to prepare for war.

At this moment, in the Golden Palace of the Imperial City of Jiankang Prefecture, Zhao Qi was raging.

He then shouted loudly to the assembled civil and military officials standing below the Golden Palace:

"Tell me, what use are you to me?"

At such a critical moment, is there really no one who can offer a feasible solution?

"Dong Zhuo has already besieged the capital and could break through at any time."

Could it be that my Great Song Dynasty, instead of falling to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, was ultimately destroyed by a mere monk in a temple?

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall remained silent.

Even including the palace guards, the entire Jiankang Prefecture only had less than 3 men. Compared to the forces outside the city, they were more than three times weaker. How could these weak scholars possibly turn the tide?

……

At this moment, a middle-aged civil official with a dignified face and a slightly gaunt appearance stepped out of the ranks and said in a long voice:

"Your Majesty! This time, Dong Zhuo's siege of the city has more than 100,000 armored soldiers, while the Jiankang Prefecture, including the Imperial Guards, has less than 30,000 troops. The difference in strength between the two sides is enormous."

"The armies sent to defend the emperor from various regions have yet to respond. It seems they are afraid of Dong Zhuo's military might and dare not come. Your Majesty should make plans as soon as possible."

If the defenses are truly indefensible, Your Majesty should gather the elite troops and, at an opportune moment, concentrate them in one place for a breakout. This would be the best course of action.

Zhao Qi, seated on the dragon throne, grew even paler after hearing Lu Xiufu's words, muttering repeatedly:

"I never imagined that my Great Song Dynasty would perish at my hands."

Just as the assembled civil and military officials were at a loss for what to do, a frantic report came from outside the hall:

"Your Majesty! Dong Zhuo's army has started attacking the city again, and they have even used catapults to throw many surrender letters into the city."

"A letter of surrender?"

Hearing the eunuch's shout from outside the door, Zhao Qi was startled and immediately stood up, hurriedly saying:

"Bring it in quickly so that I and all my ministers can see it."

The young eunuch trotted into the hall and presented a pile of confiscated surrender petitions to everyone present.

The contents of the letter of persuasion made all the civil and military officials, as well as Zhao Qi, break out in a cold sweat.

To the people of Jiankangfu!

I now have an army of 200,000, and I will surround you within the city of Jiankang.

It's not that Health City is impregnable, but rather that our army doesn't want to engage in pointless slaughter.

Although we have different positions, we are both Han Chinese. This uprising was not my original intention, but was forced to rebel due to excessive pressure from the court.

We are all Han Chinese, and our army has not harmed the local people in the slightest during our march.

Dong's actions were nothing more than an attempt to overthrow this corrupt old dynasty and save the princes from the Mongol cavalry.

Waiting for the new dynasty to be established.

We will surely reduce taxes and distribute land equally, and gather the strength of all people to resist the Mongol invaders, defend our land and protect our Han people.

I myself was once a subject of the Song Dynasty.

Although the army is at the gates of Jiankang Prefecture, intending to overthrow the old dynasty, they will treat all the civil and military officials of the old dynasty with leniency and will not wantonly kill and waste the country's resources, harming the country and its people.

This time, Dong will only punish the ringleaders and will not implicate innocent people.

"Those who surrender first will be richly rewarded, while those who remain stubborn will be severely punished."

Mo Fei's letter of persuasion to surrender made Zhao Qi break out in a cold sweat.

The Song Dynasty officials who received the letter of surrender all had different expressions after reading it.

Some people were already secretly plotting and preparing their escape routes.

At this moment, a thin, middle-aged civil official stepped forward and loudly proclaimed:

"Your Majesty! This time we have no external reinforcements, internal threats, and our military strength is far inferior."

"If Your Majesty insists on fighting Dong Zhuo, the result will surely be a crushing defeat. Why doesn't Your Majesty send an envoy to negotiate peace with him, offering him high-ranking positions and generous rewards? Perhaps there is still room for negotiation."

These words jolted Du Zong awake from his reverie, and he exclaimed with delight:

"What you say is excellent, my dear minister. Is there any minister among you who is willing to share my burdens and leave the city to confront Dong Zhuo..."

Du Zong realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words:

"To discuss surrendering with General Dong outside the city?"
