My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 592 He's nothing but a regicide and usurper!
Of all Hou Mochen Yue's plans, the most important one was that Gao Yu sent an envoy.

He couldn't possibly send someone to contact Gao Yu privately.

There were too many of Erzhu Rong's spies in Beizhong City. If he did anything even slightly out of line, it would be reported to Erzhu Rong immediately. Not to mention, if Gao Yu were to secretly send someone out of the city, it would have to be Gao Yu who took the initiative to send someone.

This involves an element of gambling.

However, the probability of betting correctly is quite high.

From Gao Yu's perspective, he had already conquered the entire Hanoi Prefecture and even the entire Jianzhou.

Erzhu Rong currently only has one isolated city, Beizhongcheng, north of the Yellow River.

Since it is an isolated city.

Why bother expending so much effort and sacrificing your elite troops to force a siege?
Sending someone to persuade them to surrender is the most profitable option.

Besides, it's not much trouble to send someone to say a few words, so why not?

Although that's what he thought in his heart, Hou Mochenyue's face was serious. He angrily rebuked, "Go, just say that I am irreconcilably opposed to Gao the bandit. I have no old friends under Gao the bandit. Any old friendships have vanished the moment I joined Gao the bandit."

"I have nothing to say to those who betrayed the Prime Minister! I swear to live and die with Beizhong City!"

Hou Mochenyue's words were delivered with intonation and rhythm, and his demeanor showed that he was wholeheartedly devoted to Erzhu Rong, leaving no room for criticism.

however……

Just now.

Suddenly, someone stepped forward. Everyone recognized him as Hou Mochenrui, who immediately said, "Father, I..."

"There are no fathers and sons in the military!"

Hou Mochenyue frowned and scolded, making it clear that in front of outsiders, one should refer to plants!
Hou Mochenrui quickly changed his tune, "General, I think we should invite the envoy sent by the bandit Gao into the city!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Hou Mochen asked in return.

"Simply refusing entry to the envoy does not demonstrate the determination of our soldiers to defend the city!"

"We must let their envoy into the city, let him see with his own eyes the brave and heroic bearing of our soldiers, and their determination to defend the city to the death. Only after he has witnessed it can he return and proclaim the might of our army! In this way, we will deter that bandit Gao from easily attacking!"

Immediately, others echoed this sentiment.

"The young general is right! We've only heard of how formidable that bandit Gao's army is, so why can't we let him see just how impressive our soldiers are?"

"There are also many elite soldiers personally dispatched by the Prime Minister in the city, which are enough to bolster our army's morale!"

"Excellent! Young General, you are indeed exceptionally courageous!"

"........."

Seeing this, Houmo Chenyue hesitated for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "Very well, as you say, then you can go out of the city and bring the man in. You all make sure the soldiers are fully armored, so that the messenger sent by Gao the traitor can see the might of our army!"

"Here!!"

"Finally, I will bring him to the mansion, and then I will meet him formally."

………………

Zhu Hunyuan only brought two attendants with him.

He waited outside the city.

He had been to Beizhong City before and knew that this city was indeed much more fortified than the cities in the surrounding counties. Although it was an isolated city, if the soldiers inside were determined to defend it, Gao Yu would have to pay a considerable price if he sent a large army to attack.

It comes down to it.

North Central City was a major town established specifically for the defense of the river bridge, serving entirely as a military stronghold.

Such cities are very difficult to attack.

"General, could it be that Houmo Chenyue is unwilling to see us?"

"Since Erzhu Rong regarded him as a confidant and his family members were detained in Luoyang, he should not betray Erzhu Rong."

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you all in such a rush?" But Zhu Hunyuan frowned slightly, "Let's continue to wait."

After a while, the city gate, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, and a young general, accompanied by several attendants, rode up to Kezhu Hunyuan's side.

"Greetings, Uncle."

Hou Mochenrui was not as arrogant as he was in the city; on the contrary, he was very polite.

This caught Zhu Hunyuan off guard. He instinctively replied, "Isn't this my nephew? You're actually in the city too?"

"Hahaha, I am the deputy general of Beizhong City."

Hou Mochenrui laughed loudly, "Upon learning of my uncle's arrival, my father sent me out of the city to greet him personally."

But Zhu Hunyuan was secretly delighted. Could it be that... the plan to persuade him to surrender was working?
If that's the case, then he has made a great contribution as a surrendered general!
but……

Before he could be happy for long, Hou Mochenrui said in a low voice, "The situation in the city is complicated, with a lot of spies. Many of my actions and words will be unavoidable. Please forgive me, Uncle. I should not stay outside the city for long. Please come with me into the city."

Zhu Hunyuan was taken aback for a moment, but still followed behind him.

As soon as they entered the city, a large number of soldiers in full armor gathered at the city gate, each with a tall and imposing figure and a menacing aura.

Before Zhu Hunyuan could get close, he saw someone waving at him.

The soldiers shouted in unison!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Slaughter all the invading enemies!!"

But Zhu Hunyuan was a seasoned veteran, and such a small show of force was nothing to him.

He knew very well that as the envoy sent by Gao Yu, he represented Gao Yu's face, and if he lost his composure, he would be the one to lose face for Gao Yu.

Hou Mochenrui turned around and smiled, "I've heard that the soldiers under that bandit Gao are all elite and brave. I wonder what the general thinks of the morale and spirit of our soldiers?"

But Zhu Hunyuan sneered, "It's nothing special."

"How brave!"

"presumptuous!!"

Even as someone drew their sword and angrily rebuked him, Zhu Hunyuan remained unmoved.

Hou Mochenrui frowned slightly, "All of you, step back!"

"My father has already prepared a banquet at his residence upon learning of your arrival, General. Please come with me."

Houmo Chenrui led the way, taking Kezhu Hunyuan straight to Houmo Chenyue's residence.

A banquet had indeed been prepared, and there were quite a few people present, including all the generals and officers of the city.

"Greetings, General Houmo Chenyue! It's been a long time; you still retain your former elegance."

"Since we're old friends, why be so polite?"

Hou Mochenyue's reaction was lukewarm. After Ke Zhuhunyuan took his seat, he raised his wine cup and said, "Come! Old friends reunited, let's drink a toast first!!"

After a glass of wine.

Zhu Hunyuan took the initiative to speak, saying, "I have come here today specifically to see the general because I have important matters to discuss."

Hou Mochen Yue interrupted him, "Are you speaking to me as an old friend, or as an envoy of the bandit chief?"

But Zhu Hunyuan corrected him, "He is persuading you as both an old friend of the general and as an envoy of my prime minister!"

"I only have one prime minister in my heart."

"Hahaha, everyone knows! The legitimate ruler of the Great Wei Dynasty is in Ye City. My Prime Minister was appointed by the Emperor of Great Wei. The traitor Erzhu Rong is nothing but a usurper who murdered the emperor. What face does he have to act as the Prime Minister of Great Wei in the world?"

"Be bold!"

Many people were already slamming their fists on the table in anger, glaring at Zhu Hunyuan!
