Chapter 103: Peace Talks and Win-Win Outcomes (Part II)
Under the cover of the Black Dragon Army, Lie Wuxue fled into the palace first, and he ordered his men to close the door of the inner palace, and the castle tower was filled with archers to prepare to meet the enemy.
"Your Highness, Eldest Sun Chi rushed into the emperor's dormitory with his men and horses, and our people are fighting with him. "The Yulin Army in the Imperial City hurried to report to Lie Wuxue.
"Mobilize people to stop Changsun Chi, but you can't kill him, you can only capture him alive. Lie Wuxue hurriedly ordered.
The strategist stepped forward and said to Lie Wuxue, "Your Highness, it may be difficult to ascend to the emperor's throne now, if you insist on sitting in that position, I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion and the Red Flag Crusaders will resist, then you will not be able to sit in this position." ”
"Sir, you have a point, so what should we do?" asked Lie Wuxue.
"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates think that you can negotiate peace with Prince Yu. "The strategist said.
"Peace?"
"Behind Your Highness is the power of the princes and nobles, and Your Highness has the Yulin Army and the Black Dragon Army in your hands, and Lie Yu They don't dare to touch you easily. If there is a confrontation between the two armies for a while, you will wait for the opportunity to negotiate with Lie Yu, help him become emperor, and then put forward some conditions to ease the relationship between the two sides first, and then plan these many matters later......"
"Good. Lie Wuxue nodded, "That's what Mr. said." ”
"Come on, be sure to capture Changsun Chi alive and use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Lie Yu and the Guogong Mansion!" Lie Wuxue commanded.
"Yes!" the commander of the Yulin Army replied, "Quickly mobilize all the Yulin Army to rush to the Emperor's Bedroom!"
Here Lie Wuxue is instructing Yu Linwei, and the deputy commander of the Black Dragon Army over there hurried over from the city, "Your Highness, Prince Yu's momentum is too strong, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for long!"
"If you can't resist it, you have to resist!" Lie Wuxue scolded angrily, "You must survive until Yu Linwei captures Changsun Chi alive!"
"Yes. The deputy commander of the Black Dragon Army stubbornly went back to meet the enemy.
......
Outside, Lie Yu was attacking the city with the Red Flag Crusader, and the Duke of Qi also led his own horses over.
"Qi Guogong?" Lie Yu was a little surprised.
"Prince. Qi Guogong's attitude was very cold. However, it is also reasonable, the eldest grandson Chi is still trapped inside, how can the Duke of Qi Guo, who loves his son, not be in a hurry, and how can he not be cold to Lie Yu.
The strength of the two groups of men and horses combined, the strength of the siege gate was obviously much stronger, and the black dragon army gradually couldn't hold on, and finally the city gate was breached.
Seeing this, Lie Wuxue hurriedly led the government soldiers and the remnants of the Black Dragon Army to retreat to the Jinluan Hall to resist. Lie Yu's men and horses and the people of the Qi State Mansion surrounded Lie Wuxue's men and horses, and when Lie Wuxue was panicking, the strategist sneaked in from the crowd and whispered in Lie Wuxue's ear, "Your Highness, the matter is done." ”
Lie Wuxue's frightened face was relieved at once, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, brushed away the soldiers and walked to the front.
He glanced at Lie Yu, then moved his gaze to Qi Guogong, who had an indifferent face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, smiled, and said to the two, "Don't be so murderous about the two of you, now the victory and defeat have been divided, and this king has lost, but this king wants to negotiate a deal with His Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give me a chance?"
"Tell me about it. Lieyu didn't refuse.
"Someone, please come up to His Royal Highness. Lie Wuxue smiled slightly, only to see that the Yulin Army brought Changsun Chi up, they were very respectful to Changsun Chi, and did not escort him up, but just watched from both sides.
"Father!" Eldest Sun Chi saw Qi Guogong at a glance, his expression was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly into his father's eyes.
"You still know how to call Dad!" Qi Guogong was obviously furious, "Doing things so recklessly!"
"Hey, don't be angry, this king doesn't plan to do anything to Ling Gongzi. Lie Wuxue hurriedly spoke, "It's just that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will be left with me for the time being, so that we can discuss the deal." ”
"As long as the eldest grandson is put back, the conditions... It's not that you can't talk about it. Lie Yu also slowed down his tone and took a step back.
At this time, dense footsteps were heard behind them, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the palace gate, only to see Yelan dressed in black armor in front of him, leading a group of soldiers behind him. It is better to say that they are soldiers, but they are noble warriors - they are dressed in white armor, their robes are fluttering, their necklines are embroidered with gold and gold flower totems, and their helmets are masked, only their eyes are exposed, which is quite the posture of the ancient black-clothed ironclad army. The outfit and the equipment it is equipped with are luxurious, and it can be seen that this is a super army that has spent a lot of money to build.
"Yelan?!" Lie Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Yelan's huge appearance momentum and the army behind him. Qi Guogong's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously a little shocked. The eldest grandson Chi, who was standing next to Lie Wuxue, was already so blank that he couldn't see any expression on his face.
Ye Lan just glanced at them, then led the army forward, raised his head and looked directly at the Lie Wu Cave with a surprised expression.
"It's ...... I seem to recognize you!!" Lie Wuxue closed his mouth in surprise, "Who the hell are you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Yelan.
Yelan was expressionless, still looking straight at Lie Wuxue, "What about the emperor?"
Ye Lan's words woke up everyone present, and after Lie Yu came in, he only cared about changing back to Changsun Chi, but forgot about this problem. There has been such a big change, the army is fighting all over the city, how can Emperor Zhaolie, who is inside the palace, not move at all?
"Yes, where is the Father!" Lie Yu asked Lie Wu in a loud voice.
"Father, the emperor's ......" Lie Wuxue's expression dodged, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"The emperor has died. Changsun Chi suddenly spoke, his eyes looked at Lie Wuxue angrily, "It's him!" King De'an sent someone to kill the emperor, King De'an killed the king, and the crime was extremely evil!"
"Blood spews people!" Lie Wuxue was furious, "There is no evidence, how can I say that I did it!"
"Why should King De'an be so excited?" Lie Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze staring at him directly, making it impossible for Lie Wuxue to dodge.
"Prince Yu, Your Majesty decreed that you be demoted to a concubine before your death, and now you are leading troops into the palace, do you want to force the palace!" The strategist on the side shouted sharply, "Since you suspect that King De'an killed the king, does King De'an also have reason to suspect that it was your Prince Yu who sent someone to kill Your Majesty!"
Asked by the strategist like this, Lie Yu was also stunned - it seemed that he didn't have a good reason to explain all this, and he couldn't confirm that it was De'an Wang Lie Wuxue who killed his father.
"What kind of goal does King De'an want to achieve, you might as well show your hole cards. Yelan said coldly.
"What I wanted was simple. Lie Wuxue sneered and said, "One is prosperous, and one is lost." Now that this is the case, we might as well sit down and discuss it. ”
"I can support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enthrone you as the new king, and at the same time I want something. "If the crown prince ascends the throne, I will be crowned the king of Qin, and give me the northern county as a fief to eat ten thousand households." That's my condition. ”
"If the prince doesn't agree......," Lie Wuxue's eyes were sad, "Then we can only fight to the death, and no one will want to get good." ”
Lie Yu smiled, he understood Lie Wuxue's intentions, but the plan he proposed was the most suitable for the moment, it was good for both of them, and they could get what they wanted.
Moreover, Lie Wuxue has the capital to negotiate - the forces behind him and the army in his hands...... If you move him now, you will only harm others and yourself.
"Okay, I promise you. Lie Yu nodded.
"The prince said that the horse is difficult to chase, and all the witnesses present are witnesses. Lie Wuxue smiled slightly, "If the prince regrets it......"
"You don't have any jokes. The corners of Lie Yu's mouth rose slightly, and a friendly smile appeared at him.
"Okay, then congratulations to the emperor... Longevity knows no bounds. "There is no acupuncture point.
