Chapter 439: I Don't Agree

Looking at this group of emotionally charged subordinates, Xiao Yao did not show an angry look at Gao Wei's reply like them, but just looked puzzled.

"Since they're just delivering letters, let's let them go down first!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, drive these irrelevant people out first, since this group is just messengers, then there is no need to be polite to them!

"Shiro, why are you still acting so calm? Are you really going to Yecheng? This is a trap for the Qi people! If you do, they'll kill you! Xiao Moke said excitedly.

"Yes, Commander, our forward brigade is the nemesis of the Qi army, and we have killed and captured so many of their soldiers, but their Qi people have already called you a demon who kills people without blinking, and they want to eat you alive, and now you still take the initiative to run to Yecheng, isn't that equivalent to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Huang Wenyuan also said worriedly.

"Commander Xiao, this time it was our Chen army that defeated their Qi army, recovered the entire Xuzhou, and won a big victory, even if this peace negotiation was proposed by us first, although we did not clearly propose the location of the negotiation between the two sides, but this should also be decided by us, and it is not their turn to make such an impudent request as a defeated country! Battalion Commander Huang was right just now, it seems that these Qi people haven't really realized how powerful we are, give them some face, they still think they are very powerful! We will immediately send troops to capture the entire Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and let the people of Qi see if they are qualified to negotiate terms with us!" Lu Guangda also said indignantly.

"Do you all think that the conditions set forth in Gao Wei's letter are rude to me?" Xiao Yao asked calmly.

"Isn't it? Now that our Chen army has won a complete victory, we can continue to pursue them with victory and break through more cities in their Qi country! Now that we have taken the initiative to propose an armistice, we are giving them a chance to breathe, so that they don't have to lose so badly! If they really have the sincerity to hold armistice and peace talks with us, then they should not make such an rude request, and even ask to arrange the location of the negotiations in Yecheng, and also command you, the Xuzhou assassin, to go to Yecheng in person, what kind of request is this, then why don't we ask them The emperor of Qi to come to Xuzhou in person to conduct armistice and peace talks with them? Lu Guangda said a little excitedly, after all, in his heart, he still felt very unhappy about Xiao Yao's decision to suddenly withdraw his troops and not continue to attack Qingzhou.

"However, this proposal for armistice and peace talks was put forward by me, the assassin of Xuzhou, and so far, the whole process is only the letter I wrote to Gao Wei and the reply letter that Gao Wei wrote to me! Don't say any official documents, now we don't even have a single word from His Majesty Chen Guo! Our court of Chen has never expressed a position on this armistice and peace talks, whether it supports or opposes, Your Majesty has not made it clear! Now it is only by relying on me, the assassin of Xuzhou, that I have been standing still, so that the world thinks that our Chen State and Qi State are in a situation of armistice and confrontation, but have you ever thought that as long as Your Majesty has not issued a holy decree to announce the end of the Northern Expedition, then we are still in the Northern Expedition of Chen and Qi! From this point of view, it is not that Qi does not want to have armistice and peace talks with us, but they also think that we have not yet shown our sincerity! Xiao Yao said slowly and methodically.

"This, this, then they can't put forward such unrealistic conditions for you to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them! You are now the assassin of Xuzhou, the governor of Xuzhou's military, and you are the governor of Xuzhou, a member of one party! Although it is true that we have not yet made an official will from the imperial court, it is a fact that the two sides have ceased fighting, and we have stopped attacking Qingzhou, which is within reach, and they still feel that we are not sincere in the armistice and peace talks? In addition, they are all insidious and cunning people, they must want to lure you to Yecheng, and then they can get rid of you in one fell swoop! You must know that Shiro, you are now the nightmare of the Qi people, killing the Qi army in fear and fleeing in the wilderness, as long as you die, their Qi country will have the confidence to continue to fight back against our Chen army! So they must be willing to bear the infamy of backsliding and killing the envoys who came to them, and they will get rid of you! Xiao Moke said bitterly.

"Then if I go to Yecheng and they dare to disadvantage me, then what will you do?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile,

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, we immediately led the army to the north, and at all costs, we must break through Yecheng, not only kill all the people surnamed Gao, but also slaughter the entire people in Yecheng, we want them to bury you for the commander! Huang Wenyuan said fiercely.

"That's right, such a simple consequence, can't the people on the Qi side think of it? They just killed me Xiao Yao, but our forward brigade is still there, and you battalion commanders are still there, do they think that as long as they kill me Xiao Shilang, the soldiers of the forward brigade will not fight? Will they be able to withstand the power of our muskets and artillery? The people of Qi will not be so stupid, although Gao Wei is mediocre, he is not an idiot, so of course they want to get that if they dare to be against me, then it must be them Qi who will suffer! So this is why Gao Wei's reply letter was sent to me so mysteriously, and Gao Wei's request for me to go to Yecheng to negotiate in person is estimated that not many people in the court of Qi know about it, so as not to let those who want to get rid of me know that after I go to Yecheng to negotiate in person, there will be some crazy ideas, even if Gao Wei doesn't want to kill me, but these people will do everything possible to get rid of me, and Gao Wei can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"Then you mean, you're going to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person? No way! Absolutely not! I won't agree to let you go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person! On the orders of His Majesty, I came to Xuzhou City this time to supervise you, not to let you do anything wrong, and to do something that does not consider the consequences at all! Before, you kept telling me that you want to govern Xuzhou well, develop it here, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment! But now, you actually want to go to Yecheng, the enemy's capital, to negotiate with those sinister and cunning Qi people, what is the matter! Xiao Yao, I am now the deputy commander of the Northern Expedition and the supervisor of the Xuzhou Army, and I order you, you must not leave Xuzhou City for half a step! Xiao Moke scolded loudly.

"Yes, Commander, why are you so determined to negotiate peace with the Qi State? Even if you don't want to fight, commander, then we will recuperate here in Xuzhou, and it is okay not to attack Qi State, why do you still want to negotiate peace with them and do such a complicated and meaningless thing? How many wars did Zhou and Qi fight and how many peace talks were signed, but these peace treaties were not a piece of waste paper, and when it was time to fight, they still fought! Huang Wenyuan also said puzzled.

"It is precisely for the people of Xuzhou to live and work in peace and contentment that we have to negotiate peace with Qi, and with a relatively stable environment, we can make Xuzhou's economy develop and let the people live a good life! This peace negotiation of mine is not the kind of peace negotiation that the two sides suddenly fought after a few months of armistice, after I negotiated peace with Qi State, but I will not mobilize troops against Qi State for at least three years, even if it is Qingzhou like meat on the lips, I will not capture his household and village! Even if His Majesty asks me to attack the Qi State at that time, I will use this peace negotiation to resist the disobedience! Xiao Yao said decisively.
