What did they have to say?
Of course they wanted An Cui to die as soon as possible.
The food was already heated. Could there be other changes?
The five million salted fishes complained about the plot as they ate their melons. They'd finally had a good time after holding back for so long. If An Cui didn't die, wouldn't it be the same as eating back the shit they'd painstakingly excreted? If that was the case, there would probably be another batch of salted fishes who'd turned from fans to haters.
Carefree Hehe: "I hope An Cui dies as soon as possible!"
Tongtong's Girl: "There are so many people from all walks of life in the streaming room, but I don't like An Cui. Let him die."
Xingyue Tianyun: "Streamer, don't forget what An Cui did when he conquered the southern barbarians. Even if the southern barbarians deserved to die, An Cui's methods were too despicable. If you keep this guy around, he'll bite you when you let your guard down sooner or later. "
Xiaoxiao Wangyang: "Like. An Cui is a ticking time bomb. He can't compare to Huang Song and Yang Tao. If An Cui can live even after surrendering, then I'll feel wronged for Xu Bei and Xu Fei. They're much more likable than An Cui. "
Even though the Xu brothers committed suicide after their defeat and didn't die directly at Jiang Pengji's hands, they were still better off than An Cui.
If someone like An Cui could live, the two brothers would be filled with regret if they found out.
The salted fishes had a unified opinion — the streamer could go wild, but An Cui had to die!
Jiang Pengji didn't give any explanation to the salted fishes' discussions. Instead, she paid close attention to the reactions of the civil and military officials.
Yang Tao was a straightforward person. He was about to speak when his friend secretly pulled on his sleeve. He was about to stand up.
"What's wrong, Shaoyang?"
Yang Tao asked his friend with his eyes, but the other gave him a "shut up" look.
"Anyone can speak up about this matter, except for you. Don't interfere. Just be a listener."
Yan Lin had been woken up in the middle of the night for a meeting, but his mind was as clear as ever. He could see the situation clearly.
"Why?"
Taking advantage of the distance, Yang Tao lowered his voice and talked to his friend. He had to get to the bottom of it.
Yan Lin said confidently, "The Duke of Lanting has no intention of letting An Cui live. It's impossible to recruit him. It's not the right time for you to go up there and say anything."
Yang Tao was also a vassal who had surrendered. Even if he had no intention of stirring up trouble now, a superior would always be on his guard.
If Jiang Pengji managed to get them to surrender every time she fought, she would definitely treat the feudal vassals well in order to show her benevolence in the future when the world was settled. Not only did he have to be treated extremely well, but he also had to be given a certain title, such as a king with a different surname.
It would be fine if they kept to themselves, but as time went on, this group of people would secretly join forces to cause trouble.
Jiang Pengji was not stupid. Why would she leave so many hidden dangers for herself?
Huang Song had been summoned to surrender, and he had signed an oath of alliance to restrain him. Yang Tao had been summoned to surrender, and he had been given an important position as an exception. Then what should he do with An Cui, who had been summoned to surrender?
This was one of the reasons. The other reason was that Jiang Pengji had been at war for the past few years. She had lost a lot of manpower and resources in order to conquer Nansheng.
Even if it was for the sake of the soldiers who had died in the war, Jiang Pengji could not simply summon another feudal lord to surrender.
According to Yan Lin's analysis, Jiang Pengji wanted to kill An Cui no matter how he looked at it.
Yang Tao was confused.
"If that's the case … then what's the point of asking?"
Digging someone out of his bed in the middle of the night just to ask a fill-in-the-blank question with a fixed answer. That was insane.
When Yang Tao asked the question, he vaguely felt someone's gaze on him.
He looked up and saw that no one was paying attention to him.
Yan Lin said, "It's a routine question. It's true that she wants to kill An Cui, but to show that she's not an arbitrary person, she should at least ask. "
Yang Tao was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly. After a while, he managed to choke out a sentence.
"I … It's a pity that I'm only halfway through my dream …"
Yan Lin was speechless.
Because An Cui was more valuable dead than alive, a few important ministers secretly wanted An Cui dead.
Of course, not all of Jiang Pengji's subordinates were smart. There were always different opinions.
From a short-term perspective, they all agreed that An Cui should not be killed and that they should try to recruit him again.
Given that their lord was a little fierce, they were very tactful when they made their suggestions, afraid that they would step on a mine.
Jiang Pengji did not comment on this suggestion. She just turned her gaze to the others.
"Besides that, do you have any other opinions?"
Her gaze swept across Feng Zhen and the others one by one.
Yang Si nodded his head, his eyelids drooping. His upper and lower eyelids bumped into each other.
Feng Zhen covered half of his face with a fan. It looked normal, but according to the changes in his facial muscles, he was most likely yawning.
Li Yun, Xie Ze, Qi Kuang, and the others looked thoughtful. Unfortunately, they hesitated and did not dare to speak.
Wei Ci …
Jiang Pengji gave Wei Ci a look. The latter looked slightly awkward, but in the end, he took the initiative to leave the table.
"My lord, I don't agree with the judgment of the others."
Since the lord had spoken, Wei Ci naturally had to help her and smooth out the show.
"Oh? What do you mean? "
"An Cui is only a captive. My lord has personally asked for him to surrender once. How can you ask for him three or four times?" Asking for him once was already giving him face. Don't be so shameless. Wei Ci continued, "Secondly, this person's temperament is treacherous. He acts ruthlessly and ruthlessly. He will do anything to achieve his goals. This can be seen from how he treats the old, weak, women, children, and sick among the southern barbarian captives. If such a cruel and cold-blooded person is recruited to surrender, there is a high possibility that he will betray us in the future. My lord should not take this risk. My lord, please reconsider and consider it carefully. "
Wei Ci threw out a brick to attract jade. He explained most of the reasons. Under Jiang Pengji's murderous gaze, Feng Zhen and the others could not continue to slack off.
"I really think that Zixiao is right." Feng Zhen stood up and added, "According to the previous judgment, my lord can indeed take over all of An Cui's remaining troops by asking him to surrender. However … An Cui's troops have long run out of food. Our army will only need to besiege them for a few more days to starve most of them to death. It will be effortless. Since it will take a few more days to make them surrender obediently, why would my lord need to specially ask for An Cui's surrender? "
"I agree with Zixiao and Zishi's deduction." Yang Si followed up with a violent attack. "There are still three to five hundred thousand troops under An Cui's command at the front line and at the rear. If An Cui is still alive, my lord will not be able to use these troops in the short term. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages. "
Therefore …
My lord, you understand.
The steps have been set up. You should quickly go down.
After the meeting, everyone should go back early to catch up on their sleep.
After Yang Si finished speaking, a few more people spoke up. The voices in favor of killing An Cui were overwhelming.
"If that's the case, we'll do as everyone says." Jiang Pengji seemed to have made up her mind about something. She said, "Tomorrow, we'll send out troops and kill him as a sacrifice!"
Alright, the meeting was coming to an end. The battle plan for tomorrow had been confirmed.
