The fierce sound of horses' hooves seemed to signal the arrival of death, and although the soft earth slowed the pace of the cavalry's advance, the impact was as high as ever.

The soldiers in a thin layer of armor were knocked away like paper men, and the pace of the cavalry continued until they hit seven or eight before stopping, and the gap beside them allowed the comrades behind them to continue to charge.

The Song troops, who had been attacked on their flanks, began to retreat slowly, and it was like a domino effect. The soldiers who were still able to support themselves were completely discouraged when they saw their allies retreat.

Even as the Overseers continued to slash the fleeing soldiers, the retreating soldiers still rushed past the Overseers and began to flee into the distance.

"Stop me, whoever wants to run away will be me"

The shouting of the Overseers was quickly drowned out by the sounds of the deserters, and the hundreds of Overseers soon joined the fleeing band.

Ji Qingquan looked at his army with a cold face and began to collapse like a, "Time is also, life is also." ”

Under the escort of his own personal guards, Ji Qingquan withdrew from the battlefield, and after ordering the deputy general to gather the defeated troops, he sent an envoy to formally negotiate peace with the imperial court and Yanzhou.

And he went to the crisis-ridden eastern region, although he suffered a big defeat, but with his reputation for so many years, he was still able to keep his position.

Lu Zhan and Su Xin, who were tasked with pursuing the Song army, pushed back and forth, Lu Zhan said that his troops had already been exhausted from the previous battle, while Su Xin said that his troops were almost unable to run after many days of driving.

Lu Zhan looked at Su Xin, who had an arrogant face, and said secretly: I won't do this thankless task. If, on the way to pursuit, the enemy kills one of the pistols, then the loss will be fought. Moreover, his next goal is to capture Dingtao, and his troops will also use it to capture Dingtao.

Su Xin, who was on the side, leisurely ordered his soldiers to boil tea, apparently wanting to spend time with Lu Zhan, looking like he was leisurely and healthy.

Su Xin also didn't want to waste time chasing down the retreating enemy army, although it was said that there would be good results, but it was still a lot lighter than resting the troops to achieve greater results.

After escaping from the battlefield, the deserters of the Song army suddenly began to be confused when they celebrated the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and now most of them do not know what to do.

"If we don't go home, we're deserters now."

"Hit back, we'll be caught as soon as we go back, don't you know what happened to the deserters?"

"If you want me to say, let's nominate a big brother, let's fall into the grass."

The soldiers scattered on the periphery of the battlefield were thinking about the way forward, and suddenly these deserters saw a pair of cavalry running towards them under the banner of a herald.

The deserters didn't know what to do and what the purpose of these people was.

"The general has an order, and any soldier who is willing to return to the barracks will not be held accountable."

The heralds spoke at the regrouped routs, most of whom were willing to return to the barracks.

Lu Zhan and Su Xin, who were blaming each other, suddenly heard a message from their subordinates, saying that a Song army envoy was waiting outside the camp gate.

"Then invite him in."

After the soldiers who gave the order walked out of the camp, Su Xin, who had finished drinking tea, said, "Lord Lu, guess what this envoy is doing now."

"If I expected it to be good, it should be to negotiate peace, so shouldn't General Su go after those fleeing Song troops now? If they don't pursue, these Song troops will all flee. ”

"Su is ashamed of this credit, so let's hand it over to Lord Lu."

Hmph, old fox, not very old but not ordinary cunning. It is not unreasonable that this Su Xin is considered the future general of the imperial court.

It didn't take long for an old man with a serious face to walk in, "I've seen Lord Lu and General Su in Xia Verauen. ”

"Lord Wei doesn't know what happened today, these two armies are fighting each other, if there is anything, please tell me directly." Lu Zhan knew very well that this Welauen had come to negotiate peace nine times out of ten.

But diplomatic negotiations must put pressure on the other side in order to achieve greater benefits.

Welawn smiled and looked confident, "This time I came here for peace, and the land occupied by your army before will be handed over as the previous indemnity." ”

"That's not good, stop testing each other, just show your hole cards, if the conditions of your country are really like what you just said, we don't mind continuing the war." Su Xin suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and began to wipe the blade.

"The old man doesn't want to go around in circles, what about the conditions just mentioned plus the cession of the two counties including Dingtao?"

Welauen's conditions are indeed consistent with Lu Zhan's previous goals, and such tempting conditions can indeed be agreed to.

Just as Lu Zhan was about to nod, Su Xin suddenly noticed that the corners of Wei Lawn's mouth were slightly raised, "Wait a minute, Su still has some opinions on this condition." ”

"General Su, please speak."

"The ceded land and the treasury of the city must be sealed in good condition, and shall not be damaged or lost in any way. Population and household registration information must be correct. Such a request should not be excessive. Su Xin squinted his eyes and smiled at Willauen.

Su Xin's appearance was very much like a scheming old fox, and Lu Zhan only reacted after hearing Su Xin's words. This old boy is actually playing word games with himself, and if he only has land but no population and materials in the treasury, then occupying these lands is a loss-making deal.

Wei Lawn's smile suddenly froze, originally the monarchs and ministers of the Song State had negotiated to cede the land, and then transported the grain and grass materials stored in the treasury to the national capital.

And the population should also be relocated as much as possible, if it is implemented according to the plan, this will definitely not be one in ten. In this way, the vacancy of the population could not be restored in a short time, and the Song State also reduced the losses to a minimum

Welauen forced a smile, "This is natural, what General Su said is reasonable. ”

"Then there is no problem with Su, what do you think, Lord Lu?"

"Just according to the negotiated terms, the agreement of the contract must be brought by Mr. Wei."

Somewhat reluctantly, Willauen took out a contract from his body that he didn't want to take out, and the contract was concluded after the three of them signed and pressed their seals.

After watching Wei Lawn gradually leave surrounded by the cavalry guards, Lu Zhan suddenly hugged Su Xin's shoulder, "Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have suffered such a big loss, I might have reacted afterwards, and this favor is considered as I owe you." ”。

"It's nothing, who made us allies now, a powerful Viscount of Yanzhou is in the interests of the imperial court, and when you become an enemy one day, I will be your most difficult enemy, I hope there will not be that day."

Will that day come, maybe, but certainly not now
