"Look for Your Majesty?" Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin in surprise.

"Yes!" Luo Xin took out a letter and handed it to Hu Zongxian and said, "Look at it."

"Who is this letter to?" Hu Zongxian took the letter.

"For Your Majesty!"

Luo Xin's voice was light, but it shocked Hu Zongxian, and then hesitated:

"This...I see...this letter...is it okay?"

"Nothing." Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Help me see if I can pass."

Hu Zongxian thought that Luo Xin was now in a situation where he was out of control because of himself. If he could help Luo Xin, he would naturally not refuse. So he nodded and lowered his head to open the letter.

After a short time, Hu Zongxian finished reading the letter. He suddenly looked up and said, "You are already ready to attack the mountain people, and you have never thought about surrendering them?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Didn't I send someone to surrender them? If they are willing to talk, I can give them justice. Of course, they have caused harm to the Ming army, so if they want to be fair, they must pay. They have to bring Zhang Daoyuan's head to see me."

"How is this possible?" Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "Even if they don't help Zhang Daoyuan, they won't go against Zhang Daoyuan. They are a little ignorant, but they are not stupid. They will not do such things as being used as guns by us."

"Then they must pay the price, the price of their lives, to atone for their sins." Luo Xin spread his hands.

"But..." Hu Zongxian looked down at the letter in his hand, then looked up and said, "You took all the charges of massacre mountain people on yourself, then resigned from all official positions and returned to your hometown. It would be too expensive for you to do this."

"Not big!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Brother, first of all, we must end this war quickly. If it is delayed for too long, even if we win in the end, our fate will not be good. And I am worried that we will not wait for that day. If it is delayed for a while, I am afraid that the court will send new officials to replace us and capture us both back to the capital and wait for His Majesty's punishment. At that time, even if we want to return to our hometown, we may not be able to do it."

Hu Zongxian sighed and said, "I know this. I guess that if we cannot make obvious progress within two months, Your Majesty will send new officials to replace us. You should still have a great possibility of returning to your hometown alive, and I..."

Hu Zongxian said bitterly: "This life is entrusted to Your Majesty. I don't want to take care of my family if you have the ability."

"I don't have that kind of eyes, listen to me." Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "As brother said, we must make a major breakthrough in two months. If we want to make a major breakthrough, do you think the surrender can be successful?"

"No!" Hu Zongxian shook his head decisively and said, "Don't talk about your harsh conditions, it doesn't have that condition, and it gives great benefits to the mountain people. Maybe they will accept surrender. But they will still give Zhang Daoyuan a heart in secret. Is there no way for us to take Zhang Daoyuan in the deep mountains and forests? So, if you want to surrender and destroy Zhang Daoyuan, this road will be dead.

However, it is not easy to put the mountain people and Zhang Daoyuan together to massacre. The Eighteen Villages are easy to defend and attack. And even if they are captured, they will enter the old forest. We are even more difficult to move forward in the strange old forest. So, I really don’t know what you can do without a weapon to solve the battle within two months.”

"I won't talk about this for now. Anyway, there is no way. So, I will write these reasons clearly to Your Majesty in my heart. Nowadays, the mountain people are thieves. If we kill 120,000 soldiers, they are not thieves. Who are thieves?

Therefore, after I gave them the opportunity, they refused to accept surrender, so they could only massacre. Although the massacre would hurt Tianhe, I, Luo Xin, took it all and was willing to resign and return to my hometown.

This is the second point I want to do this. I have taken all the charges and released His Majesty and will not be charged with the tyrant. In this way, His Majesty will feel guilty in his heart."

Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up and said, "Do you want to send this letter to His Majesty before launching an attack, not after winning?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I told Your Majesty in advance that I will bear all the charges. This will let Your Majesty know that I am not under his pressure and have to bear this charge, but for the sake of His Majesty's reputation, I will take the initiative to bear this charge. Only in this way can your Majesty feel guilty in his heart.

Your Majesty is a person who is cold-hearted and it is not easy to feel guilty in his heart, so he has to do something better."

Hu Zongxian said silently for a moment: "Yes, if you do this, your Majesty will feel extremely guilty. Although you request to resign and return to your hometown, your Majesty will definitely not agree. At most, you will be demoted from the capital and demoted to the local area. As long as you have this kind of official body, you will have a comeback."

"No! I will not use Your Majesty's guilt to retain my official position. I will ask Your Majesty to let you return to your hometown alive and try to give you as decent as possible."

"No weapon!" Hu Zongxian, a strong man, couldn't help but his eyes turned red at this time.

Luo Xin smiled and patted Hu Zongxian on the shoulder and said, "So, both of us will lose our official positions and return to our hometown. At that time, we have time to drink and chat together."

"Not a weapon..." The tears in Hu Zongxian's eyes finally flowed down.

"I was so concerned about my feelings. I will first analyze whether I can get the results I want if I do this."

Hu Zongxian thought for a while and nodded, "It should be no problem. But, my brother is old and he will return to his hometown. It's a pity that you are so young. Why not..."

"Brother, don't persuade me. You have a good rest." Luo Xin took the letter and walked out.

A few more days later.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

A soldier walked in with a wooden box, his eyes red and said, "Mr. Luo, a mountain citizen threw this down in front of the camp gate and ran away. When we opened it, we found that it was... it turned out to be..."

"Open!" Luo Xin shouted in a narrow voice.

The soldier opened the wooden box and Luo Xin's eyes condensed. There was a head inside, which was sent by Luo Xin to recruit surrender to the 18 villages.

"Bang!" Luo Xin slapped the desk with murderous intent on his face. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go down first. Go and find General Wang and arrange the funeral of this brother."

"yes!"

Luo Xin stood up and walked back and forth in the big tent, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He asked the Eighteen to deliver the letter, but the letter did not mention that if the mountain people wanted to surrender, they had to come with Zhang Daoyuan's head. They just told the Eighteen Village that if they were interested, everyone could choose a time and place to discuss in detail.
