Liu Fa's reason for agreeing to go to the meeting is actually just a pretext, he knows very well that the enemy army takes the initiative to see himself when he has an advantage, most of them want to persuade him to surrender, if he puts it in the past, whether the other party is the Western Xia army or the Tiandao army, let alone go to the meeting, I am afraid that he has already led the whole army to fight to the death with the enemy immediately, the big deal is death, as a soldier can sacrifice his life for the country and die on the battlefield is also a supreme honor,

But now, after experiencing the scene of being betrayed by the Hebei army, his mentality has undergone a subtle change .......

Everyone is the same, if you can live, no one will like to die, and the reason why someone can not be afraid of death is only because this death has some meaning to him. For example, in order to keep the family alive, this is family affection. For example, dying for the sake of the country is loyalty. For example, in order to allow more people to continue to live, this is the great righteousness of the scholars. But when this "meaning" suddenly ceases to exist, the belief that a person continues to die for it collapses.

On the one hand, he has been fighting bloodily for this country for decades, and he is still willing to sacrifice his life for the country. But on the other hand, he was betrayed by the country he was loyal to, and he knew very well that from the moment the Hebei army cut the pontoon bridge, the fate of him and tens of thousands of subordinates had been decided, either he would die completely in battle, or he would have to bear the black cauldron of the defeat of the battle due to the inability of the leading army. Either surrender to the thief and become a traitor completely. Either way, it can be a very favorable condition for court battles. Even if he and his subordinates can create a miracle to kill him from the siege of thieves today, the people in the court will not let him go, let alone give him a chance to redress his grievances.

Fighting for the country for decades, but in the end ended up with this ending, Liu Fa hated, hated him so much that he gritted his teeth, hated his heartbreak, he wanted revenge, he wanted to break the body of the person who killed him, but the premise of all this must be that he must be able to live first, and not only survive, but also live more powerfully, when he saw the strength of the Liangshan bandits, he understood that surrendering the Liangshan bandits was his best and only choice at present.

That's why he agreed to go to the meeting, he has decided to surrender, but he can't surrender so casually, he has to bargain, and strive to maximize his interests before surrendering!

Liu Fa asked his son Liu Zhengyan to stay in the army instead of him, and he took a general, a personal guard, and three people and three horsemen to go straight to the negotiation site.

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

The high slope is located in the center between the two armies, the terrain is very high, you can see all directions at a glance, the slope is extremely flat all around, there is not even a shelter, even if you want to set up an ambush, there is nowhere to hide, it is indeed a very ideal place to negotiate.

When Liu Fa and the three rode to the high slope, they saw that there were three horses waiting on the high slope, and the two sides held their mounts at the same time when they were more than ten steps away from each other, Liu Fa immediately looked at the other three carefully, only to see a bald man in the middle of the three horses, on the left was a big man with a wound on his left shoulder and was bandaged, and on the right was a young man, revealing a shrewdness.

Although the bald man is located in the middle of the three horses, it stands to reason that he should be the head of the three, but Liu Fa's eyes unconsciously glanced at the injured man a lot, and always felt that the man exuded a unique aura all over his body, and the man was also looking at himself, his face was like water, his eyes were flat,

"General Liu, I didn't expect to see you again in this kind of scene." The bald man hugged his fists and said,

Liu Fa had actually guessed the identity of the other party, but he was a little surprised that he had actually seen him, he didn't remember seeing a magistrate named Luda before, "Your Excellency is Luda?" We've seen it? Liu Fa also politely hugged his fists,

Lu Zhishen smiled and said frankly, "The 400,000 soldiers of the Western Army, who doesn't know Liu Zhanshen?" Five years ago, I met you in the Jinglu Mansion. ”

Liu Fa thought quickly, that's right, he did go to Weizhou once five years ago, but unexpectedly, he couldn't remember a captain that day, but today he can sit on an ......equal footing with himself as a victor, he couldn't help but sigh that fate really made man, his face couldn't help but darken, and he hugged his fist towards Lu Zhishen again, "General, don't say anything about the god of war, ashamed!" ”

Lu Zhishen continued, "The general led the iron cavalry that day, broke the Xia Lu, pursued for thousands of miles, and was invincible. This time it is just that we occupy the city, and use the strengths of our army to confront the general's shortcomings, if the general leads not infantry, but cavalry, in this vast plain, we will certainly not be your opponent! ”

I have to admit that Luda's words have entered Liu Fa's heart, Liu Fa saw that Luda's eyes were clear, his expression was solemn, and he could hear that he was sincerely complimenting himself, and he couldn't help but be very moved, secretly saying that although this person is a thief, he is indeed worthy of being a veteran who came out of the Western Army.

"General, now that the emperor is mediocre, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the people are not happy, and the people are in turmoil, my Heavenly Dao Army is doing the right thing for the sky, killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, removing the powerful and bullies, and is deeply loved by the people, why don't the generals abandon the darkness and join our Heavenly Dao Army to overthrow this unruly court together?" Lu Zhishen said,

Liu Fa's heart jumped, and he secretly said that he finally came, and he didn't want to go around the bend, so he said directly, "Yes, but I have a few conditions." ”

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

Liu Fa said, "One, I want to keep all my subordinates, and two, I ask to share your weapons and equipment. Three, I have two non-fights, one is not to fight the Western Army, and the other is not to fight the Imperial City! Fourth, I want to go back to the northwest first. Liu Fa stared at Lu Zhishen after speaking, these four conditions were all thought out by him after careful consideration, the first condition, my people are still my people, and they only obey me. The second condition is that since I am already nominally your man, you must use your excellent equipment for me, right? The third condition, I will not attack the Western Army, those are all my brothers, and I will not attack the Imperial City, the Imperial City is the emperor, and I will leave a way back for myself. And my family is still in the northwest, and I have to go back and settle them all. These four conditions are all my bottom line, promise, I will surrender, if I don't agree, it makes no sense for me to surrender to you, it's a big deal.

Lu Zhishen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Yes!" We all agreed. ”

This time, it was Liu Fa's turn to be stunned, could he agree to such harsh conditions so happily? This...... This can't be a lie, right?

"This ...... Have you done the Lord? "Don't think I don't know, you're just a relatively high-ranking thief in Liangshan, but you're not the one who speaks the most arithmetic.

Lu Zhishen smiled, "I naturally don't count what I say, but there are people here." With that, Lu Zhishen turned to the injured man and hugged his fists, "Commander, what do you say?" ”

Liu Fa was taken aback and looked at Zheng Fei in surprise,

Zheng Fei smiled and hugged his fists, "In Xia Zheng Linfeng, I have admired the name of the general for a long time, and I am really fortunate to meet you." ”

Liu Faru was struck by lightning and exclaimed, "You...... You are Zheng Linfeng?! ”

Zheng Fei smiled again, "What?" Don't I look alike? ”

Lu Zhishen said, "It has been two days since our commander came to Qizhou, and it was the commander who always held the city tower and led us to take the lead in a bloody battle to repel the repeated attacks of General Liu's army. ”

Liu Fa was even more surprised, could it be that Zheng Linfeng, the leader of the Liangshan thieves, has been in Qizhou City all the time in the past few days?!

Zheng Fei smiled and pointed to the injury on his left shoulder, "My injury is still due to the general's marksman." ”

Liu Fa sighed, and finally believed it, he finally understood why Qizhou City was so difficult to fight, the commander of the thieves could be like this, how could the momentum of the thieves not be strong?!

"My conditions...... Do you really say yes? Liu Fa asked eagerly,

Zheng Fei nodded seriously, "Agreed." But he sneered in his heart, the first condition, my Heavenly Dao Army has no other skills, and I am good at assimilating all kinds of disobedience, as long as you are incorporated into my Heavenly Dao Army sequence, I will brainwash all the tens of thousands of people under your command sooner or later, and completely turn them into my people. The second condition is naturally not difficult, and the third condition is not a big deal, my main purpose is to rely on you to deal with the Western Xia Army in the future, and the Central Plains does not need your interference at all.

"You're not afraid of me...... Once you go to the northwest and never return? Liu Fa doubted,

Zheng Fei smiled and shook his head, "The bull's head that is forcibly pressed does not drink water, if the general is not here, he can never return, I never like to force others." ”

Liu Fa looked at Zheng Fei in amazement, he really couldn't understand, where did the person in front of him come from with such strong confidence?

"Commander......," Liu Fa tried to make his voice smoother, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have the ambition to compete in the world?" ”

Zheng Fei didn't answer, just smiled, "Two years ago, I was just a pig slaughterer in Weizhou City, General Liu thinks, will anyone believe me at that time?" ”

After that, Zheng Fei turned the horse's head, gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse was ordered, carrying him leisurely down the slope, and then his voice sounded, "General Liu, I hope that within half an hour, everyone can lay down their arms, take off their armor, and formally surrender to our army." ”

Liu Fa looked at Zheng Fei's back blankly, not knowing what ...... he was thinking.
