District 9

Chapter 2519: Persuading Surrender Alone

In the end, Meng Xi entered Qufu City with only six entourage, and would face more than 10,000 defenders in the city, as well as all the remaining generals of the Alliance.

In Gu Taixian's headquarters, the chief of general staff whispered to the head of the guard regiment: "If the talks fall apart, then take action. The worst is possible."

"Understood." After the regiment leader nodded, he immediately ordered his subordinate officers and soldiers to set up an ambush around the hall.

Everyone waited for less than twenty minutes before two cars stopped at the entrance of the headquarters compound. Meng Xi got out of the car and walked straight into the main building hall wearing the uniform of the Sichuan Army.

"Mr. Meng, please come this way." Gu Taixian's people didn't know what position Meng Xi held now, so they just addressed him as Mr. and took him to the combat hall upstairs without expression.

As soon as they entered the room, dozens of core generals from the Alliance were all sitting on chairs, turning to look at Meng Xi with sharp and gloomy eyes.

Gu Taixian has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. He looks like he is no longer as heroic as before, exuding an air of exhaustion and decadence.

"Long time no see, Commander Gu." Meng Xi said with a smile.

"You don't need to talk nonsense, just tell me how to negotiate and what the conditions are." Gu Taixian's adjutant frowned and scolded.

"Conditions? What conditions?" Meng Xi asked.

"Conditions for peace talks."

"Then you are wrong. I am not here to negotiate peace with you, but to gather the surrendering troops." Meng Xi ignored the generals of the Alliance and said bluntly: "Open the city gate and let the main force of our army enter and gather the prisoners of war. This is condition."

"Are you kidding?!" A general slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Meng Xi and yelling: "There are still more than 10,000 people in the city. How long will it take you to break in? Beifengkou doesn't care?"

Meng Xi looked at him: "Beifengkou sent three telegrams. Commander Wu said that all combatants of the Wu faction are ready to be loyal to the country. He repeatedly advised Commander Lin and Commander Qin of the Sichuan Army to resolve future problems first before heading north. Fengkou rushes to help. So it is not your turn to worry about how the Beifengkou fight is going. You just need to hand over your guns now and wait for the public trial in the military court. "

"Meng Xi, everyone can say nice things. You know best whether Qin Yu wants to save the Wu clan or not." The chief of staff sat next to Gu Taixian and frowned: "If you come in just to talk, then let's not talk about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 guards rushed into the room and pointed their guns at Meng Xi.

At this moment, the psychological emotions of the alliance generals were already on the verge of collapse. They all knew that it was impossible to reverse the military situation in the Eighth District at this moment, and their results... would not be good either.

Shouting to talk, that was the last struggle. At this moment, everyone was restless, so they could do anything. Even if they have the mentality of being able to protect themselves even if they are about to die, they will kill Meng Xi if things go wrong.

The guard soldier pointed his gun at Meng Xi's head, and the latter walked up to the silent Gu Taixian and said: "Commander, you were once a fierce general of the Gu family who championed the three armies. I believe you can afford to lose."

Gu Taixian raised his head and looked at him, still saying nothing.

"If we really have to fight, how long can Qufu hold out? One day or two days?" Meng Xi continued in a low voice: "... You have to make Qufu full of corpses and craters to prove that your so-called alliance has ever fought. Have you passed?!"

Gu Taixian gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Meng Xi suddenly turned to look at the people in the war room, pointed at them and shouted: "Do you have to let your soldiers die to prove that you have power and high authority? Damn it, bullshit! It can only prove that you lose. They can’t afford it, they can’t afford to lose, they are a group of soldiers without eggs!”

"I cnm!"

A general stood up, took out his gun, pointed it at Meng Xi and shouted, "I will kill you now!"

Meng Xi looked at him: "If you torture me to death, what can you change?"

When the two faced each other, the six guards led by Meng Xi surrounded him, blocked him, and held down their guns.

Meng Xi suddenly became very excited, pointed at the other party and shouted: "Also, you better not treat me like an ordinary Sichuan officer. I am different from anyone else. Even if I die here today, I I can assure you that once the city of Qufu is captured, all of your relatives who participated in the civil war will die!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yeah, who the hell doesn't know that your Sichuan government is always engaged in extermination." The chief of staff stood up and cursed: "Especially you, Meng Xi, in order to get some power from Qin Yu, you even have the most basic humanity. there is none left."

"Are you worthy of talking to me about human nature?!" Meng Xi shouted at everyone with empty eyes: "After the fall of the Tang Zhang clan, you blocked the streets in Yanbei City and killed how many people? Even the water in the fucking moat was... It’s dyed red, are you worthy of talking about humanity?!”

Gu Taixian suddenly looked up when he heard this.

Meng Xi pointed at his nose and shouted, "I'm talking about you!"

Gu Taixian looked at him blankly: "You...are you related to the old party and government?"

"My surname is Meng, who do you think I am related to?" Meng Xi asked.

When Gu Taixian heard this, he was completely silent.

"Commander, let him die!" The general holding the gun was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Taixian stood up slowly, looked at Meng Xi and asked, "Since you don't want to talk, how do you want to gather the captive troops?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Xi took out his gun, slapped it on the table and said, "I'll give you some dignity, but you die on your own."

After the words fell, the room was silent.

"Gu Shen was captured, and Qufu is full of direct relatives of the alliance generals, as well as your direct subordinates." Meng Xi looked at Gu Taixian with bright eyes and said: "Once the city is defeated, no one can say what happened in Yanbei. Will the bloodshed happen again in Qufu City?"

These words were threatening, and they were also meant to wake up the generals of the Alliance. You don’t need to act like bachelors. You rebelled. Did your family members participate? Are there any family members in your army? If you really resist to the end, it will affect the support of Beifengkou. If the city is destroyed, everyone will die.

The gun was placed on the table. Gu Taixian let out a long sigh, waved his hand and shouted to the generals: "You guys can get out."

"Commander!" The chief of staff wanted to persuade him again.

"... Not only are there people in the family who are working with us, but those grassroots officers... are also fighting under your and my orders." Gu Taixian looked at him and said in a trembling voice: "We were defeated. We made mistakes in decision-making. You and I... Do you want the people below to pay the bill?"

The chief of staff was silent.

Yanbei, District Eight.

In the dark detention room, Gu Shen sat on a chair and asked with a trembling voice: "Will he die?"

Gu Yan smoked a cigarette and said with red eyes: "I can't save him, and I can't save him..."
