Chapter 392: By All Means
Because of Yu's father-in-law, at noon the next day, Li Wu took his personal guards and prepared to set off towards the Northern Zhou military camp.
It's just that before leaving, Li Wu asked people to call Father-in-law Yu.
Li Wu, who was fully armored and looked extraordinarily heroic, said with a smile to his father-in-law: "Today, Gu went to the Northern Zhou military camp to discuss with Chai Rong, in order to show his prudence, and asked his father-in-law to walk with Gu!"
What the?
Father-in-law Yu's face turned pale, he glanced at the forty or fifty guards behind Li Wu, his heart tightened, and he said with a sneer: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go by himself, the old slave is just a eunuch, and it really has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”
How could Li Wu allow him to refute? He raised his brows, and his majesty was revealed, "Come on, invite Father-in-law Yu to get on the horse!" After saying this in an unquestionable tone, Li Wu stared at Father-in-law Yu, who was escorted on horseback, and arched his hand with both trembling arms, "Father-in-law, rest assured, everything is lonely, and I will definitely be able to protect my father-in-law to return unharmed." ”
Seeing the soldiers all around him, Father-in-law Yu barely squeezed out a smiling face, and stammered: "Your Highness, what Your Highness said is true." ”
I have to say that these men who are accustomed to seeing blood on the battlefield don't like a courageless eunuch like Father-in-law the most, and when they saw him afraid of being like this, they laughed out loud for a while.
Li Wu was also laughing loudly, and after a while, he put away his smile, "Sons, it's better to take care of your father-in-law!" "Yes!"
In the loud response of the soldiers, Li Wu waved his hand, and the team moved in the direction of the Northern Zhou.
On one side, the deputy general glanced back at the restless and restless father-in-law Yu on horseback, and said softly: "Your Highness, do you want to borrow Chai Rong's hand to clean up this eunuch?"
Li Wu snorted lightly and said lightly: "How is it possible? It's just to scare him." ”
At this time, Father-in-law Yu, who finally came to his senses, carefully drove his horse to follow, he approached Li Wu, and said in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go to the Million Palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, isn't it appropriate?
Father-in-law Yu obviously became more and more afraid the more he thought about it, and his face, which had always been arrogant and domineering, was so flattering at this time.
Li Wu snorted lightly again, he laughed, and said loudly: "Although the father-in-law can rest assured, there are only two people, Gu and the father-in-law, Li Wu dares to break into the Northern Zhou military camp, and he can still bring the father-in-law back safely." Speaking of this, he looked at his father-in-law like electricity, "Father-in-law doesn't believe in loneliness?"
How could Father-in-law Yu dare to say that he didn't believe him at this time? Rao was angry and scared in his heart, and he had already scolded Li Wu half to death, but he still smiled with a white face: "The old slave doesn't dare. ”
At this time, the boat had arrived, Li Wu jumped into the boat with his guards, and Yu Gonggong got on another boat because he was one step behind.
Seeing that the Northern Zhou military camp was getting closer and closer, a personal guard approached Li Wu and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, although the eunuch slave is unbearable, his words are still good, we can bring more soldiers and horses with us." ”
Li Wu knew what they were worried about, his eyes were like lightning, he glanced at everyone one by one, and continued in a firm tone: "Although Chai Rong has many shortcomings, he has always been above board. Lone's words just now didn't make a big deal, this time he went to the Northern Zhou military camp, that is, he was the only one, and Lone could come back safely. Li Wu turned his head to look at the Northern Zhou military camp, which was getting closer and closer in his field of vision, and became more and more spectacular, "Chai Rong doesn't like to be a villain!"
He said so firmly, and all the relatives and guards were always convinced, and for a while, their hearts were stable.
Chai Rong received a peace request sent by Li Jingjin as early as that night.
He never expected that at such a time, the Southern Tang side would actually want to negotiate peace with him.
Before he could discuss a result with the generals, Chai Rong got the news that Li Jingjin had come to the outside of the barracks with his personal guards.
As soon as he heard that Li Jingjin, the latest rising god of war in the Southern Tang Dynasty, appeared single-handedly in his own army, Zhao Kuangyi's heart jumped up, he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly to Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the only one to fear, Li Jingjin's ears." After a slight pause, Zhao Kuangyi said urgently: "Your Majesty, Tianyu will not accept it, but accept it." This Li Jingjin ran to my Northern Zhou army by himself, this is the opportunity given to me by God in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!" Zhao Kuangyi meant that Chai Rong wanted Chai Rong to take the opportunity to kill Li Jingjin.
When Chai Rong heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and he said in a deep voice: "The two countries will not fight each other. I, Chai Rong, stand up to the sky, and I don't care to do such a villain's thing!" After reprimanding Zhao Kuangyi with a word, he glared at the generals on the left and right and shouted: "Have you heard my words? Who dares to take advantage of my inattention to sneak around and do something, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Chai Rong has always done what he says, and the generals who originally had the same character as Zhao Kuangyi secretly had a plan in their hearts, and as soon as he said this, the plan had to be returned. So they all whispered in unison, and said aloud: "Listen to Your Majesty's teachings." ”
Chai Rong turned his gaze to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi lowered his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
Chai Rong retracted his gaze with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Let Li Jing come in." ”
As soon as Chai Rong's order came out, the Chinese army opened up for a while, and all the soldiers retreated, making way for Li Wu and others to enter.
Li Wu took two steps, looked back at Father-in-law Yu, who smelled of urine coming from his body, frowned and said, "Father-in-law, just stay outside." ”
"Yes, yes. Father-in-law Yu ignored the ridicule and contempt of the soldiers, and hurriedly responded, and ran out of the barracks with a rolling belt.
Li Wu asked the guards to stay, and only took the five guards and strode towards the commander's tent of the Northern Zhou army.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wu entered Chai Rong's tent.
never thought that Li Jingjin, the newly established prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was Li Wu, and for a while, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, including Chai Rong, were stunned.
In the blink of an eye, Chai Rong laughed, and he said to the left and right: "It's really a person who can't be seen, when I was in Daliang, I didn't even see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a great general!
After sighing, Chai Rong asked, "Li Jingjin, what do you want to say when you come to see me?"
Under the watchful eye of the Northern Zhou monarchs, Li Wu raised his head and looked directly at Chai Rong, and he replied calmly: "Li Jingjin came to negotiate peace with His Majesty at the behest of the Southern Tang Emperor. After a pause, Li Wu said directly: "What our Majesty means is that if you fight by water, Your Majesty, you are not our opponent. If it is so big today, why do you want to stare at us in the Southern Tang Dynasty? If Your Majesty is willing, Your Majesty wants to sign a peace treaty with you for 30 years of mutual non-aggression. ”
Chai Rong stared at Li Wu with tight eyes, "Listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, but you don't want to talk about peace?"
Li Wu laughed. He was obviously in the Northern Zhou military camp, surrounded by Northern Zhou monarchs and ministers, and there were hundreds of thousands of Northern Zhou troops outside, but he was calm and calm, Rao was conceited with Chai Rong, and at this time he couldn't help but think: This Li Wu was unknown before, but he didn't expect that he was a real husband!
After laughing, Li Wu looked directly at Chai Rong and said frankly: "Of course I don't want to talk peacefully. The battle with His Majesty has not yet been decided, and I, Li Jingjin, are not convinced!"
"What a dissatisfied!" Obviously the other party was an enemy, and at this moment, Chai Rong also felt a sense of sympathy. He laughed, stood up and flicked his sleeves, and said loudly, "Okay, then continue to fight it out!"
"Your Majesty is happy!" Li Wu took the wine cup that Chai Rong had given him, raised his head and drank it, and then, he casually threw the wine cup to the ground, and strode out with the crisp sound of ceramic cracking.
Zhao Kuangyi turned his head and saw that Chai Rong's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Li Wu, and secretly sneered: This Li Wu didn't expect to be calculated. He aroused His Majesty's appreciation in this way, after this war, Nan Tang won, he can continue to be his prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Nan Tang is defeated, I am afraid that His Majesty will do everything possible to subdue him.
Because of Chai Rong's respect, when Li Wu walked all the way out of the barracks, all the Northern Zhou soldiers took three steps back to show their respect.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wu left the Northern Zhou military camp.
However, he didn't go to Gonggong Yu immediately, knowing that the gelding was now in a panic, Li Wu turned his eyes and said to the guards: "I heard that there is a small town not far away? Turning his head, he smiled at a Northern Zhou general with his hands in his hands: "Excuse me, borrow a carriage from you." ”
The general was stunned, he glanced at Li Wu, and secretly marveled at Shi Bei after being impressed, he thought about it, and turned his head and asked his subordinates to come to a carriage.
Li Wu turned over and got into the carriage.
Although Li Wu's guards were like arrows, they also knew that in this Northern Zhou territory, Chai Rong had opened his mouth, and his safety could be guaranteed. At that moment, they rode horses and crowded on both sides of the carriage, waving the banner of the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In this way, Li Wu and his entourage left their father-in-law and drove towards the town not far away in the prince's car.
The town was a little far away, and Li Wu, who was sitting in the carriage, looked distracted, and he frequently looked left and right.
After a while, the group came to the town.
Although this town is not big, it is very prosperous. Wherever Li Wu's car went, the people were shocked to avoid it.
After a while, Li Wu in the carriage suddenly shouted, "Stop." ”
The carriage stopped.
The movement of this group of people also attracted several women standing next to the vendors to look back.
Li Wu slowly pulled the curtain, he paced slowly, and walked to one of the women wearing a hat, Li Wu put his hands on his shoulders and said, "What a coincidence." ”
This woman wearing a hat and an inconspicuous face is naturally Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi seemed to come back to her senses at this time, she raised her head, looked at the tall and majestic man in front of her with a complicated expression, and the sentence "Brother, why are you so old" was swallowed alive by her.
Just as the brother and sister were confronting each other, a guard came behind Li Wu and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Jiang Mi was shocked, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Li Jingjin?" Could it be that Cui Zixuan and they have always been hanging on to their mouths these days, the new god of war commander in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jingjin, the newly established prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, turned out to be her brother Li Wu?
