"Your Highness, if this general is released back to the Han family's emperor and hundreds of officials, can His Highness guarantee that my 20,000 troops can return to Liangzhou safe and sound?" Deng Ai opened his mouth and said that he needed Liu Yao to give him a promise.

"This is natural, this king, as the younger brother of His Majesty today, is naturally also true to his word, as long as the Wei army can release my father and the hundred officials, the Han army will definitely release a way back to your country." Liu Yao nodded and resolutely promised.

"General Ben has another request, if His Highness does not agree, then the matter of releasing the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials will not be discussed." Deng Ai added again.

"You're threatening this king?" Liu Yao's face became serious, staring at Deng Ai's eyes.

"General Ben's request is very simple, it is okay to return the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, the Han army must first let our army return to the border of Liangzhou, and when the time comes, when the Han army sees the sincerity of the Han army, he will keep his promise to release the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials." Deng Ai ignored Liu Yao's gaze and said to himself, he was sure that Liu Yao would agree.

"Humph! Don't forget, now that our Han army has all the advantages, you have no qualifications to negotiate conditions, and agreeing to let you and your troops go back to Wei is already the biggest concession made by our Han army. Liu Yao snorted coldly, turned around and turned his back, the negotiation must have the momentum of negotiation, so as to take the greatest advantage.

"Well, there is no need for this negotiation, for the sake of you being the Prince of the Han Dynasty, General Ben will save you some face, don't humiliate you, please go back!" Deng Ai was more calm than Liu Yao, and turned around directly as if he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Liu Yao was still young in the end, and he took the lead in stopping Deng Ai, but he didn't care too much about these because he had a complete advantage.

"Oh? Didn't His Highness not agree? What are you calling General Ben to do? Deng Ai stopped, looked back at Liu Yao with a smile, as if looking at a doll who was being played with by him and applauded.

"The Han army is the army of kings, so this requirement is naturally not taken into account, but it is okay to let General Deng return to the border of Liangzhou, and General Deng should not regret it when the time comes!" Liu Yao also looked at Deng Ai with a smile, both of them were confident, and it depended on who got the bigger hole cards.

"Why does General Ben regret it? I want to hear about it! Liu Yao's words also aroused Deng Ai's interest, and he began to ask breathlessly.

"Liangzhou has been occupied by the bald Xianbei, if the leader of the Xianbei tribe can send an envoy to send a messenger to surrender to my Han, the envoy is already in my Han military camp, and now the counties of Liangzhou are all the land of my Han, what is the general going to do if he wants to withdraw to the border of Liangzhou?" Liu Yao asked forcefully.

He didn't plan to hide it from Deng Ai, in case Deng Ai really arrived at the border of Liangzhou and found that he was tricked by the Han army, he would definitely jump over the wall and hurt the pond fish.

"Huh? What the? Liangzhou is occupied by bald Xianbei? Deng Ai's face was full of disbelief, and these words hit him the chest like a stick.

"This Yang Xin! There is more than enough success and more failure, Lao Tzu left him so many Western Army, and he can still lose Liangzhou! Yang Xin mistook me! Yang Xin mistook me! Deng Ai paced back and forth, scolding Yang Xin angrily.

Liu Yao saw that Deng Ai was almost scolding, began to clear his throat, and said slowly:

"But General Deng doesn't need to worry too much, the general can take your troops to the Hanzhong defense line, and then release my father and the hundred officials back in the Sword Pavilion Pass, and the Han army will open the gate when the gate arrives, and General Deng can return to Wei as he wishes."

"That's it! Then let's say okay, the Han army will let me go to the Sword Pavilion Pass, and I will release you back to Ru Tianzi and the hundred officials. Deng Ai replied with a sigh.

It's not that he didn't think about returning to Hanzhong, but his roots are in Liangzhou, and now Jia Chong is also in Hanzhong, if he follows him to Hanzhong, he will be controlled by Jia Chong, but he didn't expect to get rid of a bell and now there will be another Jia Chong.

"Then the matter is settled, I will go back later to inform the general to release the troops at the West City Gate, and the general is ready to lead his troops to leave Chengdu earlier." Liu Yao said directly, he didn't want to wait too long, it would change later.

"Okay, so hard, Your Highness." Now that the negotiation has reached the stage of mutual agreement, Deng Ai spoke politely.

"Shisu, you quickly go and arrange the soldiers in the city, pack up the softness, and prepare to retreat to the Sword Pavilion." Deng Ai commanded.

Seeing that Deng Ai had already arranged the matter, Liu Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Deng Ai:

"Now that the state affairs are over, I still have a reluctant request, and I hope the general will agree."

"Your Highness just said it." Deng Ai could see that Liu Yao was a person who knew how to measure, and since he mentioned it, it showed that he could do it, and he couldn't refuse.

"I hope to see my father first, this is the king's request as a son of man, General Deng will not refuse to agree, right?" Liu Yao looked moved and asked Deng Ai as if pleading.

Deng Ai pondered for a while, then looked at Shi Su, and seeing Shi Su nodding slightly, Deng Ai said slowly to Liu Yao:

"Your father is in the palace, you go and see, but not too long."

Liu Yao immediately smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Deng Ai, and said solemnly: "Thank you, General!" ”

Deng Ai turned his head to Deng Zhong and ordered, "You go and take His Highness down to the palace." ”

Deng Ai's move was something else, he knew that his son Deng Zhong and Liu Yao were in the same boat, so he deliberately let Deng Zhong lead him there, so that he could resolve it, and a general on the battlefield should not be mixed with hatred, Deng Zhong has suffered several losses but never understands this.

"No!" Although Deng Zhong didn't understand why his father let him go, he still accepted the order.

After that, Deng Ai and Shi Su went down to the city together to arrange many retreats.

Deng Zhong glanced at Liu Yao and said coldly, "Come with me." ”

Liu Yao was not angry, and motioned for Wen Yang to join him, and the three of them went down to the city silently and walked towards the palace in the city.

In this way, no one opened his mouth to speak again, Liu Yao felt extremely dull, he had no ill feelings towards Deng Zhong, on the contrary, he still appreciated his martial arts very much.

So Liu Yao took the lead in the topic and said:

"General Deng's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and this king actually admires him very much."

Deng Zhong felt a little proud when he heard this, after all, everyone likes to listen to flattering words, but his expression still pretended to be as usual, and replied coldly:

"So what, it's not in your hands repeatedly."

Liu Yao smiled wryly when she heard this, and quickly retorted, saying:

"General Deng's words are wrong! It's just a fluke to win you, if you talk about personal bravery on the battlefield, I'm afraid ten of me will not be as good as half of you! ”

Deng Zhong finally couldn't bear it anymore, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"That's natural, I haven't met any opponents since I was a child!"

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect Deng Zhong to really take himself seriously.

However, Deng Zhong couldn't stop as if he had opened the chatterbox, and began to look at him with a sigh:

"I heard my father say that once General Sima Shi's camp was kicked by a single cavalry general, General Sima was frightened by arrow sores burst out and died, 100,000 troops pursued the single cavalry general, and was beheaded by 128 generals on the spot, so frightened that the army stopped and did not dare to pursue."

Then Deng Zhong sighed again, and said with some regret: "If you can meet that young rider in your lifetime and compete with him, whether you win or lose, you will have no regrets in this life." ”

Liu Yao couldn't help but shake her head, a little unconvinced, not only didn't believe it, but also felt incredible, so she said:

"How can there be such a brave person in the world, General Deng's bravery is unparalleled in the world, I think the single rider may also be false."

Deng Zhong hurriedly retorted: "Impossible, my father was in General Sima's camp at the time, and he saw the bravery of that young general with his own eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't see the young general's face at that time, and I don't know where this person is now. ”

Liu Yao just smiled and didn't argue with Deng Zhong anymore, feeling that although Deng Zhong was an enemy, he was not so disgusting, if they were in the same camp, he wanted to make friends.

Wen Yang was silent and didn't say a word, only listened to their conversation quietly, and after a long time, he sighed faintly and said:

"No matter how brave that young general is, if Maxima doesn't know Bole, I'm afraid it will be unknown to everyone!"

When Liu Yao heard Wen Yang sigh like this, she suddenly became interested, and asked with some curiosity: "Listening to Wen Zhuangshi's tone, it seems that there are some nostalgic talents?" I don't think that Ma Kang is a thing in the pool, General Wen can be his subordinate, and he will definitely not be obsessed with everyone in the future. ”

Who knew that Wen Yang just shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Ma Kang and I have only known each other for a short time, he is from Xihai, and he will return to Xihai in the future, and we will inevitably be separated." ”

Liu Yao pondered for a while, he didn't expect that Wen Yang and Ma Kang had just met in Pingshui, but looking at Wen Yang's performance in the city, it shouldn't be an ordinary person.

"Since Ma Kang is going to return to the West Sea sooner or later, why don't you stay with me and be an entourage, this king will naturally not treat you badly." Liu Yao looked at Wen Yang and asked for his opinion.

"Huh? This ....." Wen Yang was a little caught off guard, and he didn't know whether to agree or not for a while.

"What? Can't this king be Bole? Liu Yao asked with a smile.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, I'm just a little curious if Your Highness is a little abrupt to trust a person from an unknown source so easily." Wen Yang replied.

"Haha, Ma Kang can collect thousands of horses, I can't collect them? I'll talk to Ma Kang when I go back, and you can follow me. Liu Yao said proudly, not ashamed at all for digging into the corner, and Wen Yang did not admit that he was Ma Kang's subordinate, so it was naturally not inappropriate for him to be under his command.

"That being the case, Wen Yang has thanked His Royal Highness for his kindness!" Wen Yang clenched his fists and arched his hand.

Deng Zhong couldn't interject at this time, so he simply kept silent, and the three of them soon walked to the gate of the palace, and the Wei soldiers were guarding the palace gate, and the leading general was Tian Xu.

"General Tian, I took this person to see Liu Chan on the orders of my father." Deng Zhong shouted at Tian Xu, and then pointed at Liu Yao.

Tian Xu saw that it was Deng Zhong, so he didn't have anything to do, and replied directly: "Since it is General Deng's order, you can do your own thing." ”

Deng Zhong began to turn his head to Liu Yao and said, "You can go in by yourself, don't take too long." ”
