After Mai Ke returned, he saw Liuhua and the others, and learned that they had completed the deployment of the attack on the Royal Forest Army during this period.

Subsequently, Mai Ke also communicated the results of his side with everyone.

Hearing that Mai Ke had already settled the emperor of Annan, everyone cheered, although they knew that this was only a small step towards the most victorious victory.

At the same time, Mai Ke also told everyone about the army that he had heard from Nguyen Phuc Shih, knowing who the allies were and who were the enemies, in order to focus on the real enemy.

This is not much different from the situation that was previously known, so there is no need to make fundamental adjustments to the current strategic deployment.

The only significant change was that one of the two brothers, the commander of the Imperial Guards and the former ruler, had been captured by the expeditionary force. It would be ideal if this change was used as a breakthrough to receive the Imperial Forest Army without bloodshed.

Although he didn't think it was very likely, Mai Ke decided to give it a try.

So, he, Liuhua and Wu Renxiao formed a negotiation team and called Ruan Shixiong again to negotiate with him about this matter.

Except for the addition of a special confinement system, the expeditionary force did not mistreat Nguyen Shixiong, and of course it was a policy of "no mistreatment of prisoners" for all prisoners, not just for him.

But it seems that this guy is determined, and being a prisoner has freed him from his daily labor, but has allowed him to get a better rest, and he seems to be fatter than before, and his spirit is good.

Mai Ke asked him if there was any place he couldn't find, and if he had any specific needs, he could put them forward, as long as he could do it. I will be satisfied.

He shook his head at first and said that everything was fine. Later, I don't know what Lu Dao remembered, and said that if it was possible, he would have another concubine, and he would take care of him every day, and if he could, he hoped that she would be by his side again.

Mai Ke said that there was no problem, asked him to write a note, and then sent someone to pick it up. It didn't take long, and sure enough, I took it. It seems to be the kind of docile and considerate person.

Ruan Shixiong saw that Mai Ke was really trustworthy. His request was met, and the element of gratitude was added to the heart, and the hostility was greatly reduced.

Then, Ruan Shixiong let his concubine go down. Go and wait for him at his dwellings. He'll go back when he's done here. The concubine left gratefully. I probably thought that I had received a special favor, but I didn't know that the master of the road was already in prison.

This also moved Nguyen Shixiong very much. Because no one in Mai Ke and the others treated him like a prisoner, especially in front of his concubine. This left him with dignity and did not make his concubine worry unnecessarily.

Subsequently, Mai Ke told him straight to the point that the expeditionary force was bound to win against the Royal Forest Army. Under this premise, the expeditionary force will use bloodless or bloodless methods as much as possible.

"The purpose of this meeting with Mr. Ruan is for Mr. Ruan's own brother Nguyen Shi Anh. As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, if he can lay down his arms and accept the peaceful reorganization of the expeditionary force, he will have made a great contribution and will definitely receive a great reward. As his younger brother, I wonder what Mr. Lu Dao Nguyen suggests?"

Ruan Shixiong knew that his younger brother was a pure soldier. Although he is the elder brother, all political arrangements are at the mercy of his younger brother. Without his own arrangements and plans, although his brother is brave and good at fighting, he cannot stand firm in the complicated political storm for a day.

And without him, his younger brother, calling for wind and rain in the government, his position in the army is meaningless. Therefore, the two must advance and retreat together, and rely on each other.

He was captured alive by the expeditionary force and was not convinced at first. At the same time, he also thinks that his brother, who is heavily armed, will definitely save him from the army. Even the emperor will not ignore the disappearance of the juggernaut and ignore it.

However, two days passed, and nothing happened. Moreover, the Prime Minister's Office and the royal family are operating normally, and the thugs who used to be leaning on their arms have also been swept away overnight. He knew that all this meant that the expeditionary force had mastered the situation. Negotiating with him now proves that they are ready to take the army to the next level.

He learned about these messages not through special channels, but from the channels of the public. The expeditionary force only restricted his freedom of free movement, but did not cut him off from general sources. In other words, the common people know the things of the Tao, and he also knows the Tao.

Therefore, he now broke off the idea of being rescued and began to worry about the fate of his eldest brother. According to his understanding of his eldest brother, if it weren't for the persuasion of a competent person, he would definitely be stubborn to the end. And if you die hard to the end, you will definitely be burned.

And this chance of rescue, it seems that Mai Ke intends to give him. How could he not hold on tightly?

With this in mind, the ensuing negotiations were quite harmonious – not in terms of results, but in terms of atmosphere.

"My brother is a bit of a brainstorm. It's hard for anyone else to listen to but me. With his current state of mind, I know that he will definitely resist to the end. This is obvious to him: this is what he is the commander. ”

"Then Mr. Ruan, is there any good way to persuade your brother? Mai Ke said.

"There's only one good way to do it. Invite him here! He agrees to your demands, preferably, and if he does not, detain him, and put him up as if he were stubbornly resisting, and at last he will be destroyed by you. Still, I was able to convince him. ”

It seems that this Ruan Shixiong is really a handsome man who understands current affairs, has a very accurate grasp of the situation, and his ideas are the most beneficial to his brothers.

"Okay! If he doesn't agree, we'll give him a chance to go head-to-head with the Expeditionary Force. ”

The four of them muttered for a while, concretizing the plan.

It didn't take long for a horse to fly out of the expeditionary camp and rush towards the camp of the Imperial Guards.

Ruan Shiying received a handwritten letter from his younger brother asking him to meet at a place.

Although this method did not conform to their usual habit of seeing each other, the younger brother's letter was not wrong, and he did not hesitate to follow the messenger according to the instructions in the letter.

When they arrived at the location of the expeditionary force, of course, everyone did some covert work, at least it didn't look like a barracks from the outside, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army didn't have time to observe it carefully, otherwise, with his military qualities, it was not difficult to see many flaws.

When the brothers met, Ruan Shiying realized that his younger brother had lost his freedom and was imprisoned here. He couldn't help but be furious, slapped the table and got up, and asked who was so bold as to dare to oppose their brothers! These two brothers were absolutely stomping their feet in Annan, and the whole Annan was shaking their roles.

Ruan Shixiong smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, calm your anger! This is all done voluntarily by me." Otherwise, how can you let the eldest brother come? You sit down and listen to me. (To be continued......)
