Hou Chu stayed in the Taixue Martial Academy, studying the 'Book of Immortals', checking the achievements of the cultivation of the disciples of the Golden Flute and other Dharma Sects, while waiting for Gao Yuanfeng to return.

When Gao Yuanfeng received the Lijing Summons, he was already close to the Black Rock Beach.

In Black Rock Beach, after several rounds of fighting between Gao Hu and Li Zezhong, the two sides entered a stage of recuperation, because neither of them could help each other. Gao Hu's military strength is at a disadvantage, but the army's combat power is stronger.

Li Zezhong had a big headache for Gao Hu's hard bones, and successively gathered more than 100,000 horses and horses, and took turns to attack the camp of the Chengfeng Loyal Righteous Army on the opposite side, only to kill the black rock beach into a red stone beach, leaving nearly 20,000 corpses and bones, and he was stunned.

Li Zezhong convened the generals to discuss the war. He must come up with a way to defeat Gao Hu in the shortest possible time, otherwise when Gao Hu's reinforcements arrive, if they all have such combat power, Li Zezhong will lose and win.

The generals offered their ideas.

It has been suggested that high-ranking officials should be solicited. Gao Hu is only the commander of the eight lives in Chengfeng, and if Li Zezhong makes him a prince, he may not be able to impress Gao Hu.

Some people immediately objected, thinking that Gao Hu was an old brother who followed Gao Yuanfeng and was unshakable.

Some people suggested continuing the strong attack, with the armies taking turns to attack, and not giving Gao Hu time to rest. No matter how brave and good Gao Hu is, how long can he hold on?

Someone immediately retorted that the Chengfeng army was far superior to the Yan Shu army in terms of battle formation, martial arts and other tactics, and the number of casualties on both sides in the battle was too disproportionate, and the other side would lose at least four or five thousand people. Not to mention dragging down the enemy, your own military spirit is likely to collapse first.

It was also suggested to learn the opponent's battle formations and martial arts. These days, I have experienced dozens of battles, large and small, in addition to the true qi resonance and spiritual qi resonance that are difficult to learn, the various cooperative tactical battle formations of the Chengfeng Army, the masters here have already seen seventy-seven eighty-eight. Teaching the words of the whole army will certainly greatly enhance the combat strength of the Yan Shu army.

Li Zezhong shook his head and sighed, "It's too late." It will take at least a month to teach the whole army, and at that time, the army gathered by the other side may exceed the number of our army. ”

"Then use the Superman team to attack and kill Gao Hu. Yue Qingshan, deputy marshal of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead the superhuman team, enter the Chengfeng military camp at night, and cut off the head of Gao Hu for Your Majesty." ”

Li Zezhong waved his hand dejectedly, "This is the next step." The other superman is good at the magical aura resonance technique, and the low-level superman who fuses the power of everyone is enough to stop the high-level. The most uncomfortable thing is that two or three people, seven or eight people, dozens or hundreds of people can also be, and they can be one anytime and anywhere. It's not that the two supermen haven't fought each other, our side has killed several people, but people have even seen injuries. Once you fall into the enemy camp, I am afraid that you will not be able to return. I can't afford to bet. ”

After marching for a long time, Cao Shu, the squire of the Xia Guanfu, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why bother to negotiate peace?"

The generals glared angrily one after another, Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, and the troops fought and died for nearly half a year, you actually dared to speak up for peace, and put Your Majesty's face and the blood of the army where to go? The key is the dignified Yanshu, and the people in the center of the Yanyu Domain cannot even take a single cloud sky, and it will definitely greatly damage the majesty of Yanshu. If the majesty does not exist, the deterrent effect on the surrounding neighbors will cease, and if there is a war again, the difficulty will definitely be doubled.

Li Zezhong stared at Cao Shu, who was fearless, "Cao Aiqing's words haven't been finished, have you?"

Cao Shu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." I mean to use peace to numb the tiger, and then ······ like this. ”

Li Zezhong slapped his thigh, "Wonderful! Cao Aiqing, how about you go to the Gaohu military camp?"

Cao Shu shouted the order, "Minister, you must live up to your mission." ”

·············

"Negotiate peace, get out, Lao Tzu disagrees. Gao Hu roared innocently.

Cao Shu was not ashamed of Gao Hu's rudeness, and arched his hand: "General, the two sides have fought dozens of times, and no one can eat anyone." Our emperor pities the lives of soldiers, after all, every soldier is concerned with the happiness of the family. I think

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The same is true of your army, each of whom is the pillar of their respective families. Will the white-haired people send the black-haired people to the thousands of families of the generals?"

This reason is obviously very hypocritical, but Cao Shu just said it, not to persuade Gao Hu with this, but to divide the heart of the Chengfeng army, according to his conjecture, Gao Hu will definitely not stop fighting because of this. Gao Hu agreed to an armistice, does it mean that he does not spare the lives of his soldiers?

Sure enough, Gao Hu said disdainfully: "Can there be immortals in the war? Since you are afraid of the dead, then don't come." Get out of the wind, and you will not die. Dead man, scare Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is not afraid. Wait for Lao Tzu's army to arrive, and kill you without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Cao Shu, "Kill a thousand, self-damage eight hundred." Even if you have the ability to kill all my hundreds of thousands of troops, you will have to suffer at least tens of thousands of casualties. Those tens of thousands of people are not people?"

Gao Hu roared: "Tens of thousands of people can afford to die. ”

Cao Shu didn't dwell on the issue of the number of dead and wounded anymore, some things didn't need to be said too much, just bury a thorn in the hearts of the Chengfeng soldiers. "If there is a solution to the problem that the undead can solve, why bother with the dead. ”

Gao Hu seemed overjoyed, "You mean that you are willing to get out of Chengfeng?"

Cao Shu said humbly: "When we entered, this place did not belong to Chengfeng. At that time, it was the Cloud Sky Empire. So there is actually no dispute between us and Chengfeng, but each of them accounts for a part of Chengfeng. Our emperor is willing to live in peace with Chengfeng, and use this as a boundary to non-aggression against each other. ”

Gao Hu slapped the table, "You play Lao Tzu." Lao Tzu can't play with your fancy intestines, I only know that Yuntian has been merged into Chengfeng, so all the territories of Yuntian are Chengfeng land. Either you fight or you roll, and don't come up with all the bells and whistles. ”

Cao Shu said: "Okay, okay, even if our army withdraws from Yuntian, then we have to talk about it." My emperor drove the expedition in person, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses trekked through mountains and rivers, and the consumption of more than one million loads of heavy grain and grass, can't he just go back empty-handed?"

Gao Hu, "Mind Lao Tzu's." ”

Cao Shu, "Of course, we don't care about the general's business, we didn't ask the general to make up for it, but it was about Yuntian's affairs." I mean, we've already occupied the territory, so can we shepherd it for a few years and then hand it over to Chengfeng so that we can collect some taxes to cover the military consumption. ”

Gao Hu, "You think it's beautiful." ”

Cao Shu, "Of course, I want to think in a good direction." The general might as well think about it, how wonderful it is to be able to obtain a territory of thousands of miles in the western part of Yuntian without spending a single soldier. And the wind does not need to bear any costs, ······. ”

"Stop, stop. You say that Lao Tzu is confused. Lu Tai, you come and talk to this old boy. Gao Hu listened impatiently, and beckoned Lu Tai, the deputy commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army, to negotiate with Cao Shu.

After speaking, he didn't care about politeness, got up and walked out of the tent. When passing by Lu Tai, Gao Hu said: "Talk slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Lu Tai's heart moved, and he didn't show his face, and stepped forward and sat in Gao Hu's original position.

Seeing that he was another reckless man with five big and three thick, Cao Shu was secretly happy, believing that with his eloquence, he would definitely be able to stun these stubborn fools.

Lu Tai was indeed stunned by Cao Shu, and it sounded like it was a great benefit to Chengfeng by using this as a boundary. Of course, Lu Tai couldn't do anything, so he talked for most of the day, and agreed with Cao Shu to continue the conversation the next day.

After Cao Shu left, the loyal and righteous generals gathered again in Gao Hu's Chinese army tent, and at this time, the princess Tuoba Lanxin sat beside him.

Gao Hu said: "Do you believe that Li Zezhong will hold peace talks? Anyway, I don't believe it." They have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we are only in our early 30,000s, and it is impossible for anyone to negotiate peace, let alone Li Zezhong, who is invincible.

Since the peace talks are fake, what is the purpose of Cao Shu's visit? I asked the princess, who felt that it should be the enemy's plan, nothing more than to lower our vigilance and then take the opportunity to sneak attack. Our army battalion, no matter how they sneak attack, it is useless. The princess thinks that they should be pretending to be peace talks, and then fake

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The intention to withdraw troops is actually to send troops around our rear roads and cut off our food routes. Our army was in a hurry, and there were not many grains and grasses to carry, and more needed follow-up transportation.

Once the grain route is cut off, our army will not be able to hold out for a few days. But the reinforcements are still more than half a month away, and the adaptation of the soldiers and horses in the western border of Yuntian has not yet been completed, and it is more than a hundred miles behind us, so it can't protect such a long grain road. Right, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Tuoba Lanxin pouted secretly, "Stinky guy, pretending to be a fool and pushing all the analysis on my head." I haven't fought before, so how do I know so much?"

However, at this time, Gao Hu's pretentiousness could not be debunked, and Tuoba Lanxin pretended to be wise and said: "The horse is reasonable. I analyzed Li Zezhong's intentions for him. I think that's how we should respond. First of all, to continue talking, they want to drag as they wish. During the peace talks, it was proposed that in order to show sincerity, the two sides should each retreat 50 miles. They should not be able to ask for this.

Secondly, ······.

Third, ······.

······。 ”

Including Gao Hu, he was stopped by Tuoba Lanxin as soon as he opened his mouth. Although Gao Hu and Tuoba Lanxin are interested, they are not married, and it is too early to say that the concubine is too early.

If the two get married, the title of the concubine is still reasonable, because Gao Yuanfeng specially gave Tuoba Song as the prince and Tuoba Lanxin as the princess, and declared that he and Tuoba Song and Tuoba Lanxin are brothers and sisters. This practice gave Gao Yuanfeng's throne more legitimacy. In fact, Gao Yuanfeng is also a little selfish, and there is a possibility of going back to the Zen position in the future, or a descendant of Gao Gang, or Tuoba Song, it depends on who is more suitable. Gao Yuanfeng himself definitely didn't want to be the monarch of this country that didn't have much sovereignty under the rule of the Fajiao for a long time.

The sound of the horse made everyone stunned for a long time, and they all squeezed their eyebrows at Gao Hu. Then when it comes to analyzing Li Zezhong's psychology, everyone is still convinced, and the royal princess's analysis of the psychology of other emperors will definitely be more accurate than these people who have little contact with the emperor, so Tuoba Lanxin's words, everyone is either stunned or firmly believed. Therefore, Tuoba Lanxin's arrangement, everyone should accept the order.

That night, Gao Hu ordered to dig a ditch and dig a pit. The army prepares to retreat, and Gao Hu will set traps along the way.

The next day, peace talks between the two sides officially began, on the black rocky beach between the two armies. This side is still led by Deputy Commander Lu Tai. Yan Shu is naturally headed by Cao Shu.

For Lu Tai's request for both sides to retreat fifty miles, he hesitated again and again, and finally agreed. As soon as he looked up and saw that Gao Hu's camp seemed to be building an earthen dam, Cao Shu was puzzled, "General Lu, what are your troops doing?"

Lu Tai said: "Our commander does not believe in your sincerity, and decided to make a mark of the high dam, if this is really the border in the future, so as not to be mistaken." Otherwise, you will go around and around, and we ourselves will not be able to figure out where the boundary that was negotiated at that time is?"

Cao Shu smiled secretly, "A group of reckless people. But he said, "General Gao agreed to use this as the boundary?"

Lu Tai seemed to realize that he had lost his words at this time, and quickly denied it, "I didn't say it, I didn't say anything." Even if you hear it, I won't admit it. ”

Cao Shu smiled: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this first, just talk about the tax problem of more than 20 counties west of Black Rock Beach." ”

On the third day, the two of them retreated separately according to the agreement. However, Gao Hu left many people to continue to build high earth dams, and extended to the north and south. What Cao Shu didn't know was that the people of the dam were all high-level martial artists and monks. The monk's personal strength is tens of thousands of catties, and the efficiency of digging is naturally extremely high. Cao Shu and Li Zezhong couldn't imagine this at all, monks were as noble as nobles in all countries, how could they do the hard work of these low-level soldiers. But in Chengfeng, the monk did not consider himself noble, not to mention that Gao Hu also went into battle in person.

Besides, what is the use of building an earthen dam? It can't be built into a city wall, so Li Zezhong and Cao Shu didn't care. It wasn't until after the war started that Li Zezhong knew that the useless earthen dam of the seemingly reckless Gao Huli had dealt him a fatal blow.
