Things quickly came to a conclusion, Zhao Huan sent ministers led by Geng Nanzhong to the Daimyo Mansion to negotiate peace with the Heavenly Dao Army to start final negotiations, but when Geng Nanzhong had not yet set off, the news spread to the Song Army and the Heavenly Dao Army on the front line at a very fast speed, of course, the first to get the news was the Heavenly Dao Army.

Zheng Fei and the others were not very surprised by this result, as for the additional conditions put forward by the Great Song Dynasty, such as the requirement to change the country name, not to be allowed to call itself by the Great Song Dynasty, such as the return of a large number of captured officials and family members, such as Zhao Kai to declare the world to respect the Great Song Dynasty as the orthodox country in the form of an official edict, he called himself "Brother Emperor", called Zhao Huan "Brother Emperor", and promised that the two countries would never fight again, otherwise what would happen, such as returning part of the land in the south, such as ......, After a little discussion with everyone, Zheng Fei also decided to selectively accept it, and with Zheng Fei's order, the Heavenly Dao Army had begun to act in preparation for the full withdrawal of the army and the follow-up after the withdrawal.

A few days later, the people sent by Ouyang Xun, Li Ruoshui and other ministers of the main battle faction to deliver a letter to Li Gang finally arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion.

Li Gang gave Zhao Huan a recital overnight, begging Zhao Huan not to fall for Zheng Linfeng, Li Gang believes that Zheng Linfeng has always been insidious and cunning, and he is scheming, isn't it enough for the Great Song Dynasty to be fooled by him? Isn't the loss big enough? Isn't it weird and strange that he took the initiative to propose peace when he had an absolute advantage? The reason why he did this was nothing more than two possibilities: first, they had a conspiracy in it, pretending to be a conspiracy and conspiring treacherous things. Second, there were serious problems within them, which forced them to abandon their current attack, but they had to make another fortune from the Great Song Dynasty before retreating, so as to create conditions for another attack in the future. Moreover, the peace conditions they put forward are obviously hidden foreshadowing.

For example, they want the Great Song Dynasty to recognize Zhao Kai and their legal status, who is Zhao Kai? Puppet Emperor! Who are they? Traitor! Once their legal status is recognized, it is equivalent to openly acknowledging the split of the Great Song Dynasty, and from then on they can openly solicit and use the heroes of the world.

For another example, they asked for the Hebei East Road, indicating that they bordered their enemy Liao, but with Zheng Linfeng's cunning, would he make the idiotic act of digging a pit and jumping in? He must have a plan in it, too!

In the end, Li Gang said to Zhao Huan in a heartfelt voice, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached the end of the mountains, it still has most of the world, tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people loyal to the Great Song Dynasty in the world are still insisting, as long as Your Majesty can grit your teeth and hold on for a while, we will definitely be able to find a way to break the thief, but if we accept the enemy's peace now, it will be tantamount to being cocooned and completely hopeless!

After writing the recital, Li Gang ordered someone to send it to Tokyo overnight, and at the same time wrote a letter to Ouyang Xun and others, expounding his views again, and imploring them to persuade the emperor to change his mind!

Then, Li Gang invited Yao Gu and told Yao Gu everything.

Yao Gu was taken aback, and very much agreed with Li Gang's judgment, the two discussed overnight, and soon came to the conclusion that the enemy army was behaving too strangely, and it was more likely that there must be a serious problem within them than they were discussing and conspiring, forcing them to give up the victory they almost had in hand.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with the enemy, Li Gang believed that he could not completely pin his hopes on the emperor, and now the best and most direct way was to take the initiative to sabotage the peace!

Yao Gu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Li Gang what he wanted to do?

Li Gang's next words surprised Yao Gu again, Li Gang said, "The thieves took the initiative to stop attacking and negotiate peace, which means that they don't want to fight anymore, so the best way to destroy the peace is for us to take the initiative to go out and attack the thieves, and have a bloody battle with the thieves, which makes the thieves angry and ashamed, even if Geng Nanzhong and them come, they will not negotiate peace with them again!" ”

Yao Gu's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked at Li Gang dumbfounded, after these days of getting along, he already knew that Li Gang was very bold, and often dared to do things that others did not dare to do, but he didn't know how much he still underestimated how bold Li Gang's courage could be, he was already bold enough to dare to do such a thing!

"Master Li, you...... Do you know what you're doing? You have given a recital to the Holy Lord, indicating that you already know about the peace, but you are going to attack the thieves, is this not a rebellion? Resist the decree, but you have to ......! Yao Gu came back to his senses, wiped his sweat and said,

Li Gang shook his head lightly, and said with a resolute face, "I know all this, but I have to do this, this is the last chance to save the Great Song Dynasty, if I can exchange my body for the survival of the Great Song Dynasty, then I am willing!" ”

Yao Gu was shocked, his eyes were full of incomparable admiration and emotion when he looked at Li Gang, he knew that Li Gang was definitely not acting with false feelings to himself, this thin man's body hid an incomparably strong and loyal heart to Da Song! But even if he agrees with Li Gang's idea, he still can't make up his mind, because he is different from Li Gang, he still carries a big Yao family on his shoulders, and his every move is closely related to the honor and disgrace and even survival of the Yao family, and what Li Gang wants to do is a big crime of killing his head, which makes him unable to choose!

For a while, Yao Gu's face was sometimes hesitant, sometimes painful, and sometimes anxious looking at Li Gang, unable to say a word.

At this moment, he saw Li Gang suddenly take a step back, and bowed respectfully to Yao Gu.

Yao Gu was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Gang,

"Master Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Gang clenched Yao Gu's hand and said, "General Yao, I called you tonight, not because Li wanted to force you to do something, but because Li wanted to entrust you with something!" ”

Yao Gu said suspiciously, "Master Li has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Li Gang said, "After this matter is completed, no matter what the consequences are, I will tell others that the reason why General Yao will command the army to attack the thieves together with me Li Gang is entirely because I, Li Gang, have not told Lord Yao the truth at all, and Lord Yao does not know even half a word about the peace negotiation, it is I Li Gang who forced General Yao to listen to my orders as a supervisor, and General Yao just obeyed the order!" ”

Yao Gu looked at Li Gang in surprise and confusion, "Master Li, ...... you?" ”

Li Gang suddenly held Yao Gu's hand tightly with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Because I know how dangerous this thing I am going to do will be, I can't bear it, and I can't affect you, the reason why I came to you tonight is not to force you to do it with me, but I hope you can promise me, after the matter is completed, if I am punished by the imperial court, I hope you can resolutely draw a clear line with me, according to what I said, all your responsibilities will be cleared, I have already had an accident, you can't have the slightest mistake, as long as you are still there, then there is still a glimmer of hope in our Great Song Dynasty, If something happens to you, then my sacrifice will be in vain! ”

Yao Gu burst into tears when he heard this, and grabbed Li Gang's hand tightly,

Between heaven and earth, two men made an oath of life and death!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The plan of action was quickly determined, and both Li Gang and Yao Gu believed that since the matter of peace negotiation had been decided, the thieves must be the most relaxed vigilance at this moment, and attacking them at this moment would definitely have the effect of surprise, and as for the time of action, the sooner the better, and it was determined that tonight was the ugly time, the deepest night, the most exhausted energy, and the deepest sleep!

Next, Yao Gu went to prepare overnight according to Li Gang's instructions, and the time passed minute by minute, getting closer and closer to the moment of action.

As soon as the ugly time came, with Yao Gu's order, 30,000 elite soldiers who had already been prepared gathered in the night, for the sake of prudence, they didn't even light a torch, and tens of thousands of silent men quietly accumulated strength like a black vortex in the night, waiting for the city gate to open and rush out like a shocking wave!

Li Gang also changed into a military uniform, and when he came to the city tower, Yao Gu immediately stepped forward when he saw him and said, "Lord Li, everything is ready, give an order!" ”

Li Gang nodded, turned over his horse, pulled out the sword in his waist, and waved forward with an order, "Open the city gate!" ”

But ...... the gates of the city did not move,

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and ordered again,

But the gates of the city remained unmoved,

Li Gang glanced at Yao Gu, and by the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that Yao Gu was also full of doubts.

Yao Gu was about to go forward to find out, but at this moment, he saw many torches suddenly lit up in front of the city tower, and hundreds of people rushed down from the city tower and came to the city gate, blocking Li Gang, Yao Gu and 30,000 soldiers.

Yao Gu was taken aback, took a closer look, and couldn't help but shout angrily at one of them, "Liu Yanqing, what are you doing?!" Do you know who's in front of you?! ”

Li Gang's heart moved, and only then did he see that it was no one else who did not open the city gate and blocked the way, but Liu Yanqing, the deputy capital commander.

Liu Yanqing stood in front of the torches of one hundred and ten people, his face was dark reflected by the fire light behind him, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he didn't panic at all, but asked rhetorically, "I don't know what the two adults are going to do when they lead their troops out of the city late at night?" ”

Yao Gu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "I'll naturally lead the troops out of the city to kill the enemy...... Liu Yanqing, did you take the wrong medicine today?" It's actually on our heads, Master Li is the supervisor, the old man is the boss, and no one can take the turn to ......,"

"Li Gang, Yao Gu, listen to the order!"

Before Yao Gu's words fell, Liu Yanqing suddenly took out an object from his arms and shouted,

Li Gang and Yao Gu were startled at the same time, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the incomparable horror from each other's expressions, but through the light of the fire, they could really see clearly that what Liu Yanqing was holding in his hand was indeed an imperial paper, and they also knew that Liu Yanqing definitely did not have the courage to risk the great crime of the Nine Clans to falsely pass on the holy decree!

A hint of ominous feeling suddenly flashed in Li Gang's heart, but he could only turn over and dismount with Yao Gu and kneel to the ground, and then, the 30,000 soldiers behind them also knelt on the ground.

Only then did Liu Yanqing unfold the holy decree and read aloud, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...... I have decided to negotiate peace, and from now on, except in the event of an enemy attack and have to counterattack...... Truce...... Liu Yanqing...... If you dare to resist the decree, you will be severely punished, and you will be punished! ”

After reading it, there was silence between heaven and earth, only Yao Gu's stunned face raised up,

Liu Yanqing waited for a moment before he said again, "Lord Li, Lord Yao, don't you still accept the order?" ”

"Fake!"

A voice suddenly sounded, Liu Yanqing frowned, and saw that Li Gang had already stood up and shouted angrily at him, "The holy decree in your hand is fake!" Come, take down this thief who pretends to be a thief! ”

As soon as the dozen or so guards behind Li Gang heard this, they immediately stepped forward,

Liu Yanqing's face sank, and he once again raised the holy decree and said, "The holy purpose is this, do you know what kind of crime it is to offend the holy decree and the Qincha?" It's a capital offense! ”

As soon as these words came out, the footsteps of those people really stopped, and they didn't dare to step forward.

Seeing this, Li Gang pulled out the sword in his waist and shouted, "Liu Yanqing's false transmission of the holy decree is a capital crime, and if you wait for me to take him down, it will be a great achievement in the future!" ”

When his guards heard this, they began to rush forward again, and they were in a stalemate with Liu Yanqing's people on the spot, and the bloody battle was about to break out.

At this moment, Liu Yanqing once again raised the holy decree and shouted, "This official will give you one last chance, if anyone dares to resist the decree again, when it comes to the Nine Clans, don't blame this official for not reminding you!" ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, completely shocking everyone, Li Gang's personal guard, you look at me, I look at you, this time I don't dare to move again,

Liu Yanqing pointed at Li Gang again and shouted, "Come on, take Li Gang for me!" ”

All of a sudden, the people behind Liu Yanqing rushed up, and they couldn't help but hold Li Gang, who was already looking up to the sky and sighing,

Yao Gu was furious in his heart, he just touched his hand to the sword on his waist, but saw Li Gang glaring at him fiercely, and shook his head secretly, that gaze seemed to be desperate, and it seemed to be hope, he understood what Li Gang meant, gritted his teeth, and let go of the hand that had already touched the handle of the knife,

Li Gang was taken down, and Yao Gu watched his thin figure disappear into the darkness, only feeling so tired, so tired, ......so tired.

++++++++++++++++++++++

A day later, Geng Nanzhong and his entourage arrived at a place called Banqiao Town, which was only a day's journey from the Daimyo's Mansion, and in this place, Geng Nanzhong received a message from the Daimyo's Mansion,

His son, Geng Yanxi held a letter in his hand and said to him with a happy face, "Dad, you are really like a god, then Li Gang really wants to resist the decree and destroy the peace, fortunately, you asked Your Majesty to prepare a holy decree in advance and send someone to Liu Yanqing as quickly as possible, at this moment that Li Gang has been held by Liu Yanqing, everything is waiting for you to discuss and return to the court, and you will join him fiercely at Your Majesty!" ”

Geng Nanzhong laughed!
