Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and looked at Song Shu again, as if inadvertently asked:

"What did he say?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't answer directly, but looked left and right, and gave Wang Chaofu who was waiting outside, who was also sharp-eyed, and hurriedly beckoned a group of people and eunuchs to retreat.

When there were only the Emperor of the Apocalypse and himself in the Xinuan Pavilion, Wei Zhongxian said: "The peace negotiation has been completed, Ye Tianzong is wise, and Jiannu has fallen into your plan." ”

Zhu Youxiao's expression did not change at all, he still lowered his head and replied to the notes submitted by the ministers, and said:

"You are the roundworm in my belly, I have always felt that you Wei Zhongxian are the most aware of my thoughts."

Wei Zhongxian only regarded himself as the emperor to praise himself for his ability to do things, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that slaves and maids are not familiar with civil and military affairs, and political affairs are unknown, and the only one who knows is to share the worries of His Majesty." ”

"Then tell me, do I want to go down this slope and make peace like this?" As for this, Zhu Youxiao paused his hand and slowly raised his eyes.

Wei Zhongxian was stared at by this gaze, and said with a chuckle:

"The old slave doesn't know about military affairs, and he doesn't know what kind of situation the war in Liaodong has reached now, the old slave just knows that the Jiannu are all wolf ambitions."

"Even if the emperor takes this contract seriously, when Inspector Zhu withdraws, Jiannu may tear up the contract with his backhand, these barbarians, they can do anything."

"The old slave was born in the market, and he knows this principle best."

Wei Zhongxian had already guessed that the current emperor intended to negotiate peace, not just to negotiate peace, but he didn't understand what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do before.

Now it seems that it is really as he expected before, the emperor's peace negotiation is false, and it is true that he wants to use the negotiation of peace as a pretext to make Jiannu neglect to take precautions.

In fact, the emperor had already made plans in his heart to fight again!

It's just that I don't know how to deal with this Cui Chengxiu after he comes back, since he discussed peace in private, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone afterwards, so he couldn't say that he was out of the customs by secret order.

It seems that this pot has to be carried by our old Wei...

Zhu Youxiao could roughly guess the little Jiujiu in Wei Zhongxian's heart now, and after listening to these words, he understood that this guy had already guessed that his peace negotiation was fake, so he would be so honest during this time.

Zhu Youxiao didn't answer directly, but pointed to a tree in the distance of Xinuan Pavilion, put down the brush, and asked with a smile: "Do you recognize what this is?" ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned and replied, "Pine tree." ”

"What about that?" Zhu Youxiao pointed to the other side.

Wei Zhongxian was puzzled and replied honestly: "Cypress." ”

Zhu Youxiao pointed out again, Wei Zhongxian replied again, until he repeated it several times, Wei Zhongxian thought about it for a while, and then replied: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old slave is dizzy and doesn't recognize it." ”

Zhu Youxiao was not angry, walked to the outside of the Xinuan Pavilion and stood with his hands in his hands, standing in the middle of a row of stone pillars, just like Huamao pines and cypresses, and his words seemed to reveal a thousand firmness.

"This time, I'll carry it myself."

"Spread my secret decree, tell Cui Chengxiu to sign the contract with a formal gift, and the day when the Houjin army retreats is the time for a decisive battle."

Wei Zhongxian was shocked, looked at the emperor silently for a long time, then put down his mind to advise, lowered his head and said, "The old slave understands. ”

......

The news of the peace spread far and wide.

This battle was fought for half a year, and countless soldiers in Liaodong spilled their blood on the battlefield, and the imperial court actually wanted to surrender on their knees and give gifts, and everyone who saw and heard it was indignant.

Fifty miles west of Liaoyang City, the camp of the Liao army.

"The court has made peace!"

"This is nonsense, we have come to the aid of Liao for thousands of miles, how many brothers have died along the way? It's good now, the court said a word, and it actually negotiated peace like this! ”

"It's just that no one knows what's going on."

"Didn't you say a few days ago that the result of the court meeting was that the ministers did not agree to negotiate peace, could it be that the eunuch party deceived the Holy Hearing and pushed His Majesty to negotiate peace?"

In the huge camp, there are such complaints and dissatisfactions everywhere, but it is far from the time to provoke a mutiny, after all, no matter what, the majesty of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is still there.

This time, Ningxia Town sent 17,000 troops.

Zhu Xieyuan made meritorious contributions to pacifying the southwest, and was ordered to supervise the elite soldiers of the seven towns to go out of the customs, known as the 200,000 army, and commanded seven marshals and 36 generals, Wang Rujin was one of the seven border towns that went out of the customs this time, and the chief military officer of Ningxia Town.

Recently, the news of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's secret decree to send troops to Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, and the slave chieftain to negotiate peace spread throughout the camp.

Hearing this news, the soldiers did not believe it at first, and then complained more, although the generals were puzzled, they were also trying their best to maintain order in the camp, and the supervisor Zhu Xieyuan did not say a word about it, which was even more confusing.

In the camp of Ningxia Town, there were twenty well-equipped soldiers living in a tent, all of whom were carefully selected by Wang Rujin.

"Since we want to negotiate peace, why did the marshal ask us to polish the quick knife recently, so that it can be used?" One of them suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the rest of the people also didn't understand.

"Could it be that the marshal has any other plans and wants to do another vote before signing the contract?"

"Hahaha, you said that it was another handsome, I still believe it, our handsome, this kind of thing is impossible, let's go back to Ningxia obediently!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Indeed, these people know their own marshals best, and after Wang Rujin's previous defeat in Ningxia, he was not very heroic in battle.

With Wang Rujin's temperament, this time it is most likely that he will directly follow the army to withdraw to the Guannei, and there are many generals who have discussed in private, saying that they will fight for disobedience, but their Ningxia chief soldier Wang Rujin will never be involved.

In the method of sparing his life, Wang Rujin's family members saw it in Ningxia.

Li Guo had nothing to do, so he went to the tent to find Li Hongji to chat.

As soon as he walked in, he saw that all the family members were frolicking, only Li Hongji sharpened his knife with his head bored, and said puzzledly:

"I'm about to sign a contract to withdraw the army, uncle, even if your knife sharpening is bright, it's useless, who are you going to fight!"

After speaking, he sat down on the couch and sighed heavily.

Li Hongji's eyes flashed with fine light, still meticulously sharpening his knife, he raised his saber and looked at the sun, and said lightly:

"You go back and sharpen your knives too."

Li Guo didn't lift his buttocks, sat there and muttered: "Who will you cut if you grind?" As for Wang Rujin's cowardice, does he dare to follow Wang Dashuai to disobey the order to fight the Tartars? ”

Li Hongji glanced at him and scolded: "Death row prisoner, Lao Tzu tells you to grind it, you will grind it, and the chatter will not be finished." ”

"When I'm the boss, you'll have to be a little soldier!"

"What are you afraid of, uncle, if you become the boss, then I have to be a captain! Hey, uncle, you said yes, right? Li Guo was not angry when he was scolded, but laughed.

Seeing Li Hongji glaring back again, Li Guo patted his ass and stood up, and said as he walked: "Gotcha, gotcha!" You grind, I still have to go back to pack up the covers, save the withdrawal in a few days! ”

Li Hongji was also amused by Li Guo's tiger appearance, and when he saw Li Guo leaving the camp, he didn't say a word and continued to sharpen his knife.

Withdrawal?

I don't know why, although he recently said that he was going to sign a contract and prepare to withdraw the army, Li Hongji always felt that things were not so simple.

The generals and commanders in the camp were all in a hurry, and they did not make much arrangements for the withdrawal of troops, and a troop movement was not like a withdrawal at all, but like a preparation for war!
