Chapter 442: Envoy to the State of Qi

Finally, under Xiao Yao's threatening demands, the messenger leader could only helplessly let Xiao Yao lead the negotiation team of only a dozen people, plus a guard composed of more than twenty people, each carrying a tactical backpack and carrying a Mauser rifle, and then followed them out of Xuzhou City and walked towards the Qi Kingdom in the north!

Although the team is a bit shabby and simple because of the small number of people, they all exude a majestic and majestic momentum!

"General Xiao, didn't you say that you only went to Yecheng with the peace negotiation team and the guards? With such a large group of people behind him? Are they going to see us off, they don't need so much, look at their formation, there must be at least more than 10,000 people! The messenger asked curiously, looking at the neat and mighty force that had followed them out of the city.

"Oh, they're infantry battalions under my Forward Brigade! They certainly didn't come to see us off, they had their own combat mission! Xiao Yao said lightly.

"Combat missions? Isn't the Xiao family preparing to hold armistice and peace talks with our Qi country? Why do they still have combat missions? Are they going to fight the Zhou State? The messenger leader asked, confused.

"Of course not, the State of Zhou is so far away from Xuzhou, and we have always been allies with the State of Zhou, how could we send troops to fight them? This infantry battalion is going to Qingzhou! Xiao Yao said seriously.

"Qingzhou? Why did General Xiao suddenly send an army to Qingzhou? Could it be that the Xiao family wants to attack Qingzhou? But now isn't the Xiao family going to Yecheng with us for armistice and peace talks, why do they still do such a thing to provoke disputes between the two countries? The messenger asked, shocked.

"Alas, that's why I'm in such a hurry to follow you to Yecheng for armistice peace talks! Although I am now the assassin of Xuzhou and the governor of Xuzhou's military, I am only a mighty general, and I am only eighteen years old this year, and my beard has not yet grown! But the commander of this infantry battalion is indeed the famous General Lu Guangdaru of our Chen Guoda, although he is now under the command of the Forward Brigade and is my general, but his qualifications and ranks are higher than mine, how can you say that I can command him! And he tried his best to make peace talks between me and your Qi country, after all, your Lanling King Gao Changgong once defeated him in Xuzhou, so he has always wanted to attack your Qi country, take Qingzhou, then take Yanzhou, and even fight to Yecheng! Xiao Yao said a little intimidatingly.

"This, why is this Lu Guangda so rampant! Although General Xiao is young, he is his boss after all, how can he not listen to General Xiao's orders, and now he is leading troops to attack Qingzhou without authorization, this, this is a capital crime of killing the head! The messenger leader said with some excitement.

"Who calls someone a veteran, our majesty listens to him! And he is not going to attack Qingzhou now, he is just taking advantage of my absence in Xuzhou to deploy his troops first! Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile and said calmly.

"Deploy troops in Qingzhou first? That's not ready to attack Qingzhou! The armies of both sides are facing each other on the border, so how can there be an armistice and peace talks? The messenger leader said a little helplessly and a little angrily.

"So we have to rush to Yecheng right now, and negotiate with your majesty as soon as possible, even if this General Lu wants to attack Qingzhou, he is my subordinate after all, so he can't violate the peace treaty signed by me, the assassin of Xuzhou!" And he only gave me a month, saying that if I can't negotiate the terms of the truce with your Qi State within this month, or if I am left in Yecheng by your Qi State and can't come back, then he will attack Qingzhou directly, and then cross the Yellow River and take Yanzhou! Xiao Yao also pretended to have a sad face and said worriedly.

"Well, that's nonsense! General Xiao is a dignified Xuzhou assassin, and he is General Xiao's subordinate, how can he ignore General Xiao's orders and safety, and dare to lead troops to act without authorization! The leader of the messenger also said indignantly.

"Alas, in short, the situation in Xuzhou City is very complicated now, otherwise His Majesty would not have specially sent my father, Xiao Moke, the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, to sit in Xuzhou City, this is nothing more than afraid that I am young and will not be able to suppress these veterans with outstanding achievements!" Xiao Yao said helplessly.

"General Xiao is really hard for you, then we should rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, and then General Xiao will negotiate a truce and peace treaty with our Qi State as soon as possible, so that the two sides can truce and live in harmony!" The messenger leader could only shake his head and sigh.

。。。。。。

"Xiao family, the border between Xuzhou and Yanzhou is in front, and when you arrive in Yanzhou, it is the land of our Qi country, you think the army that has been following us should be able to go back, right?" The messenger looked at the force of more than 2,000 people who had been following them, still holding various weapons, and even pulling a bronze cannon, and said with a bitter expression.

Although after coming out of Xuzhou City, that Lu Guangda led his infantry battalion to march in the direction of Qingzhou, they were still followed by a team, and they all looked at their team of Qi State messengers with fierce looks, and they saw that their hearts were furious, and they were afraid that the soldiers who killed people without blinking would suddenly attack them!

"Oh, this is the unit to see me off! You know, I'm their commander, and now I'm going to your Qi country alone to negotiate, which is a dangerous trip, so they also want to use this way to increase my prestige! Xiao Yao smiled proudly.

At this time, the general of Qi who was in charge of guarding the border also led a force to rush out of the guard post and stood guard at the intersection of the border, vigilantly looking at the Chen army who came from the direction of Xuzhou and still had a murderous face!

The guard naturally recognized the messenger leader, after all, he had just seen him the day before yesterday, and then asked what was going on and why Chen Jun suddenly sent troops to the border.

"General Qin, you also knew before that I was on the orders of His Majesty, and went to Xuzhou to deliver a letter to General Xiao Yaoxiao of Chen State! And this one in front of him is our honored guest of Daqi, General Xiao Yaoxiao, the assassin of Xuzhou in Chen Guo! He is on his way to Yecheng with me to discuss an armistice and peace talks with His Majesty! The leader of the messenger respectfully introduced.

"He, he is Chen Guo's God of Killing, Xiao, Xiao Shilang! He, how could he come here, and he still brought such a large group of people, should they take the opportunity to attack our Yanzhou! When the defending general heard Xiao Yao's name, he was so frightened that he said inarticulately.

"No, no, no! General Xiao is coming to our Qi country for peace talks, how could he attack Yanzhou? The army behind him was under the command of General Xiao and was specially sent for us! The Messenger leader explained with some humility.

"What's going on, what's going on? Chen Guoren came to talk to us about the armistice? I didn't receive orders from my superiors, and looking at their team, all of them are fierce and murderous, not like people who came to negotiate! The defender said suspiciously.

"General Xiao's visit to Yecheng for armistice peace talks this time is His Majesty's secret decree, so not only General Qin's superiors don't know, but even many ministers in the court don't know! However, now General Xiao has taken the initiative to go to Yecheng to negotiate in order to show their sincerity in Chen Guo, so after we enter the border of Qi State, please ask General Qin to send a guard to escort us back to Yecheng together! I have His Majesty's token here, and it's all His Majesty's meaning! The messenger leader took out a token, straightened his waist and said to General Qin, who was defending the city.
