After Wang Yijin helped Su Yu away, Zhang Xiaowu also put down the wine cup and chopsticks, and the others were in no mood to drink, so they all looked at Zhang Xiaowu directly.

Zhang Xiaowu had calculations in his heart, but it was the end of Mucheng's abandonment. Unless he can reverse the negotiations, especially let Na Su Yu be tougher in the negotiations, and change the bottom line of the imperial court from rescuing 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jincheng to demarcating the border of Mucheng. After pondering for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Mucheng was not in the plan of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War gave up Mucheng, but also gave up the burden. ”

Hu Sanwan was still angry: "It was the emperor who gave up on us." ”

Xiao Kai also relieved his breath at this time, and said in a deep voice: "If the imperial court completely abandons Saibei, our Mucheng defenders should return to the Qinglong Army, and now that the first, second, third, and fourth regiments have all been destroyed, we should be transferred to the Longdu camp and scattered among the regiments." At that time, the lord of the castle should be reused, but he was just set aside. ”

"Why?"

"There is no him, just because you are not from the Shi clan."

Hu Sanwan shouted angrily: "These scholars are protected by officials and officials." ”

Guan Ji said: "It's like our brothers in Mucheng defend their own people, if you don't protect your own people, do you still protect outsiders?" As far as we are from a noble family, we are also outsiders. ”

Zhang Xiaowu slapped the table and said decisively: "Mucheng can't give up, we all know Su Yu, this person is strong on the outside, and he must be supported by someone behind him, otherwise he will definitely not have the courage to do things." If he goes out to negotiate peace, he will definitely throw the bottom line of the negotiation to the opponent as soon as possible, and our Mucheng will also become someone else's bag. ”

Guan Ji hurriedly asked, "How can the adults help him?" ”

Hu Sanwan suggested: "Why don't you kill him now?" ”

Guan Ji said: "Can you shut up?" ”

Wang Yijin walked back and said that Su Yu had been settled, but this time Su Yu vomited a lot of meat, but fortunately, a few veterans watched it, and it was no big deal. Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaowu, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu, he said abruptly: "Su Boling is a cowardly and greedy person, and it is difficult to expect him to be righteous in the end." We can't count on him to fight for us in the wooden city, so we can only count on ourselves. ”

Guan Ji and the others were puzzled, what did it mean to count on themselves, to count on the people of Mucheng? The military and civilians of Mucheng are not responsible for negotiations.

Xiao Kai asked, "What is the consciousness of adults?" How to protect the wooden city? ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "I will accompany him to this negotiation." ”

Xiao Kai and Hu Sanwan said in unison: "No! ”

Wang Yijin hurriedly said: "It's not worth it." ”

Guan Ji was about to dissuade him after considering his language, but he heard Zhang Xiaowu say first: "Actually, the imperial court doesn't know the situation on the front line, and Uncle Nadu Shan wants to be used to it, and he has always looked down on Inuyi. The emperor only felt that the Qinglong Army was defeated, and he took Inuyi too seriously, resulting in looking down on himself. Neither of these parties has inu-depth contact with Inui, so it is we who have the most say in the front-line negotiations. The Inuyi coalition army fought a decisive battle with the Qinglong Army for two years, and the consumption was even worse, and there were many of them, and the hearts of the people were not aligned. If you want to break the Inuyi coalition, why use the army to shake the way? I appreciate the emperor's words, to raze and raze. ”

"How to raze the raze?" Tube inlay asked.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Beiyi and Yan Ya are feuds, Tatar must hate all ethnic groups for entrenching in the northern wasteland for a long time, and the servant state of Wuhuan must be under the heart of the army after a long journey, and then give the deposit granary to Wuhuan, which will definitely cause the jealousy of the servant state." Together, as long as they are used a little, they can make the Inuyi coalition army fall apart, neither the decisive battle of Dushanbo's army, nor the emperor's cession of Saibei, as long as they are divided, our wooden city will be saved. The bottom line of the imperial court is to rescue the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jincheng, as long as we rescue them, we will complete the task, and if we keep Mucheng, it will be a great achievement. ”

Hu Sanwan said: "What the court wants is to betray us, you are good, and you still want to make meritorious contributions to the court?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I'm not for the court, but for ourselves, if we can stay in Mucheng, you and I have a place to go." Although this wooden city is like a chicken rib in the eyes of the imperial court and even the people of the Central Plains, it is a pity to leave it useless and abandon it, but in our hearts, it is a second hometown. He waved his hand and made up his mind: "We must keep the wooden city." ”

Back in the house, Zhang Xiaowu no longer thought about it, he decided to accompany Su Yu to the north, make every effort to keep Mucheng, negotiate on behalf of Su Yu if necessary, and even mess up the peace negotiation plan.

If Su Yu learned Zhang Xiaowu's true thoughts, he was afraid that he would be eager to tear him apart and mess up the peace talks, and Su Yu would definitely die.

The next day, Wang Yijin reported at noon that Master Su woke up, but he was too drunk to get on the horse, Zhang Xiaowu smiled knowingly and said that he would rest for a few days, and when they left Mucheng, they would never enjoy rest again. Wang Yijin said that those guards and cavalry were also unwilling to go north, and they were as timid as rats, which really damaged the prestige of my saint Han.

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile that the saint Han knew that the foreign war was defeated because of the internal fighting, so how could he have any prestige.

In the evening, Li Yuan came to report that the scout camp had captured dozens of Inuyi secret agents, and after torture, they learned that they belonged to the Tartar rebels who belonged to Ligaotu, but they did not come to explore Mucheng, but to intercept the Tartar herdsmen who fled south. Zhang Xiaowu asked the reason, and Li Yuan said that because of the winter, Wuhuan connived at the armies of various ethnic groups to loot supplies on the spot, and the herdsmen and people of the Tartar Pagoda were looted for a long time, and they fled south one after another under unbearable conditions.

"The contradictions within the Inuyi coalition have gradually intensified." Li Yuan concluded after the report.

"Either they will conquer Jincheng in one go, or the coalition forces will be scattered." Zhang Xiaowu came to a conclusion after thinking about it, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the countermeasures, and there were many smart people among the dogs, and they also knew that the longer the coalition army dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be, so they should fight quickly. Jincheng can support it hard, but he is afraid that it will not last long.

Zhang Xiaowu summoned the generals and invited Su Yu, Su Yu saw that the soldiers in Mucheng were strong and strong, and he was envious......

Zhang Xiaowu directly asked Su Yu to entrust the negotiations of the imperial court to everyone, and Su Yu was surprised: "What did I say?" Guan Ji said: "You said it all after you got drunk yesterday." Su Yu was so remorseful that he patted his head, and when he saw that he couldn't hide it, he had to tell the truth, and suddenly everyone was anxious, and all kinds of scolding were endless.

Ruan Qingwen stood aside and smiled bitterly, the imperial court really cut the flesh to cure the poison, but this poisonous meat not only includes the crow gold granary, but also includes the wooden city, it is estimated that in the eyes of the imperial court, what is the use of keeping the wooden city without the crow gold granary.

Seeing the noise of the generals, Zhang Xiaowu slapped the table and shouted: "For this peace negotiation in the north, I will personally escort the imperial envoy Su to go, and if necessary, I will negotiate for him." ”

Su Yu was so moved that he almost cried after hearing this: "You and I are friends of life and death, it is better to worship as brothers of the opposite sex, not to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to be classmates in the same year and on the same day——"

"Phew-whew-whew-I'm more than ten years younger than you, but I don't dare to die with you." Zhang Xiaowu interrupted.
