Chapter 440: Must Go

From noon to night, Xiao Yao, his father-in-law Xiao Moke, and Huang Wenyuan and Lu Guangda's subordinates were still arguing fiercely about whether to go to Yecheng to negotiate with Qi in person!

"Shiro, why are you so stubborn, why do you always want to go to Yecheng to negotiate with the Qi people in person? Now that we are not at war with the Qi State, why do we insist on signing those non-binding peace treaties with them? Xiao Moke persuaded bitterly.

"Because I proposed this peace talk! If I don't go, wouldn't it tell the world that I, Xiao Shilang, am a villain who has no word to be trusted? And if I sign a peace treaty, if Your Majesty wants me to attack Qi in the future, I can openly refuse to fight! Xiao Yao said boldly.

"You, how can you say such a thing and dare to think of refusing to fight for Your Majesty! As the generals of the Chen State, of course, we must obey Your Majesty's orders, and we will fight wherever Your Majesty wants us to fight, why do you always think that you are willing to fight for the country for your own interests? I know that the reason why His Majesty appointed you as the assassin of Xuzhou this time is actually that you and Your Majesty have already negotiated as a condition for returning to the military world and sending troops to Huaibei! Shiro! We are all His Majesty's courtiers, how can you blackmail Your Majesty like this, and now you are even thinking about refusing to fight for Your Majesty, which is really against the way of human ministers! Xiao Moke said with a depressed face.

"It's for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, and even the people of Chen State, that I want to refuse to fight for Your Majesty! Every year, whether it is a victory or a defeat, it is always the common people who suffer! Now that our Chen State does not have the strength to destroy the Qi State, instead of wasting weapons, ammunition and energy, to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, it is better to cultivate the spirit, accumulate national strength, and then wait for the opportunity to break the Qi State and even the Zhou State in one fell swoop, and then unify the world once and for all! But there are some people in the DPRK who can't think of this, they always think that if we occupy one more city, the strength will increase a little more, and they are always instigating Your Majesty to constantly attack the Qi country. Xiao Yao shook his head resolutely and said.

"You, you're a crooked! How can the situation be so serious as you say now! And I won't argue with you anymore about whether to hold an armistice and peace talks with the Qi State, and the imperial court will not express its opinion, anyway, if you want to talk with the Qi State or fight, it is up to you, the Xuzhou assassin history, to decide! Even if the people of Qi ask to set the venue for negotiations in their Yecheng, I won't bother with it! But now, as the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the supervisor of the Xuzhou Army, and your father, I don't allow you to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person! Xiao Moke also said resolutely.

"Gao Wei asked me to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person, if I don't go, then there will be no way to negotiate this peace talk!" Xiao Yao retorted.

"Can you send another one, then? Huang Wenyuan, and even Lu Guangda, they are not only your most trusted subordinates, but they also have a prominent background in Chen State, and they also have a high military rank above the imperial court, let them go on your behalf, it is no more suitable, and then you can stay in Xuzhou to control the overall situation, and even if Qi State suddenly repents or makes a crazy move, there will be no leaderless situation on Xuzhou's side, and you can also lead your forward brigade to quickly counterattack the country! Xiao Moke continued to persuade bitterly.

"Father-in-law, you all know that they are my subordinates, and I am just a small Xuzhou assassin, but now on the side of Qi, their emperor Gao Wei has personally replied to me, which shows that this peace talks, their Qi country is holding peace talks with us in the name of Qi country, and it is a peace talk between countries! If I have a little assassin now, but I still have to pretend to be a shelf and send one of my subordinates to conduct peace talks with them, it will be tantamount to telling the world that I can represent Your Majesty and go to armistice and peace talks with other countries, and those who have a heart will definitely say that I Xiao Yao has a heart of rebellion, does not obey the orders of the imperial court, and exercises the rights of the emperor as a assassin! Then wouldn't I jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it off? Xiao Yao also continued to retort.

"This, this! Alas, don't you think about your future lady who is about to marry you in Xuzhou? The Xu family is already happily preparing to marry their daughter to you, and now we have chosen a good day and an auspicious day, and we can send a team to bring her to Xuzhou next month! But at this time, you are going to Yecheng, not to mention whether the people of Qi have any conspiracies and tricks, and whether they will assassinate you in various ways, just say that if you delay the marriage date in Qi at that time, how does the Xu family view you as a son-in-law? I know that this Xu family girl is wholeheartedly devoted to you, and she has been looking forward to marrying you for a long time, if something happens to you, then you are so worthy of others? Xiao Moke felt that he decided to use emotional marriage to persuade Xiao Yao.

"Don't worry, Miao Miao will understand me! Moreover, this time Gao Wei sent this batch of messengers to Xuzhou to deliver letters, and they also carried the token given by Gao Wei, so that they could travel unhindered in the territory of Qi State, in order to let me rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, negotiate with them, and finalize the armistice and peace talks one day earlier, and their Qi State will be at ease one day earlier! And if I suddenly appear in Yecheng, then those who want to be unfavorable to me will not have time to react, and they will not have time to plan how to deal with me, so that I can be safer in Yecheng! Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"And in Yecheng, there are also a lot of my people, they have infiltrated all corners of Yecheng, so if anyone wants to be unfavorable to me, I also know everything! Also, if the news that I, Xiao Yao, personally went to Yecheng, spread all over the world, and a general of Chen Guo who had killed countless Qi troops dared to come to the capital of Qi to negotiate with them alone, then everyone in the world would definitely think that I, Xiao Yao, was a brave and fearless person who dared to break into the tiger's den in Longtan! In this way, everyone in the Chen Kingdom must be proud of me, then the status of our Xiao family in the Chen State will be even more noble, and the morale of the Chen State army will definitely be greatly encouraged! Xiao Yao comforted Xiao Moke and said.

"Are you really determined to go to Yecheng in person?" Xiao Moke knew that he was not Xiao Yao's opponent, so he said a little waveringly.

"Yes! I must go to Yecheng in person and meet this Gao Wei! And you still have to set off as soon as possible, and take those Qi people by surprise! Because it is estimated that people all over the world, including Gao Wei, can't believe it, I, Xiao Yao, dare to agree to his request, and then go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person! Xiao Yao smiled confidently.

"Alas! Then the affairs of Xuzhou, you have to arrange it properly, and you have to plan for the worst, the best preparation! I'm waiting for you to come back completely, prostrate to me, and let me drink a glass of daughter-in-law's wine!" Xiao Moke shook his head and said.

"Father-in-law, rest assured! I, Xiao Yao, will not do those things that I am not sure of! Since I decided to go to Yecheng in person, it was a natural solution! And I dare say that those who can calculate me have been calculated by me before they even counted me! Maybe this time I go to Yecheng, in addition to talking about this armistice and peace talks, I can also bring some extra gains back! Xiao Yao said proudly.
