"Okay, that's all there is to say, how to choose, the second prince, you can weigh it yourself." After speaking, Xiao Jingcong turned around and said to Yan Zixi, "Xi'er, let's go." ”

Yan Zixi nodded, and was about to walk out of the camp with Xiao Jingcong when General Li Hui hurriedly walked in outside and said to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.

"Lord Qiyu, the monarch of Northern Liang has sent an envoy to negotiate peace with you, the prince."

"Yes, it's coming!" Xiao Jingcong smiled coldly, he had long expected that the envoys of the Liang State would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early, it seems that the monarch of the Northern Liang really cares about the life of this Dugu Yunliu, so he can't wait to send the envoys.

Dugu Yunliu was also stunned for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "Father ......"

Xiao Jingcong glanced at Dugu Yunliu, and without saying a word, he led Yan Zixi and Li Hui out of the camp and went to see the envoys of the Liang State.

……

In the city lord's mansion.

Xiao Jingcong sat on the highest seat, Yan Zixi standing next to him, and Zhang Huatian City Lord and Li Hui, Sun Li and other generals sat in the left hand position.

On the right hand sat Li Yuanxiao, the crown prince of Yuanxia, and some generals and generals of the Yuanxia Kingdom.

After everyone sat down, Xiao Jingcong let the envoy of the Liang State in.

"The envoy of the Liang State, Dugu Xuerou, see Prince Xiao!"

When the envoys of the Liang State arrived, everyone present, including Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, were all stunned. Because the envoy was none other than the eldest princess of Liang State, Lonely Xuerou.

Yan Zixi had already learned from Xiao Jingcong that Su Xuerou was Dugu Xuerou, and the desperate letter was written by her, so when she saw Dugu Xuerou who appeared here, Yan Zixi was so angry that her mouth bulged, if it weren't for everyone here, Yan Zixi might have rushed up and scolded this little slut fiercely.

If it weren't for the reason, he wouldn't have misunderstood Xiao Jingcong, and almost caused a mistake that could not be made up for a lifetime.

When Xiao Jingcong saw Dugu Xuerou, the look of surprise on her face flashed, and then she said lightly: "I really didn't expect that the envoy sent by the Liang State would be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

"Dugu Yunliu is my second emperor brother, is there any problem with this princess coming in person?" Dugu Xuerou did not have any fear when facing Xiao Jingcong, even if the situation was reversed at this time, she only came to sue for peace as an envoy, but she still did not lose her backbone, I have to say that the people of Beiliang really have some backbone.

"Hmph, let's get up first!" Xiao Jingcong raised her hand and motioned for Dugu Xuerou, who was kneeling in the main hall, to get up and answer.

Dugu Xue thanked her softly, and then stood up, "Lord Xiao, this princess came this time on the orders of her father to ask for peace, and I implore Lord Xiao to release my second emperor brother Dugu Yunliu and the old general Chen Beixuan, and my Liang Kingdom is willing to cede all the territories south of Baishui City......"

Xiao Jingcong closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, he was silent, and his face was not good-looking.

General Li Hui on the side was the first to speak and snorted coldly.

"Cutting the land for peace? Swap back the prince and the general? Eldest princess, you Liang Guo has a good calculation! ”

Dugu Xuerou frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Hui with cold eyes, "What does the general mean by this?" Can't I exchange two people for Liang Guo's land and peace? ”

"If it was before, it would have been, but now you don't seem to have figured out the situation." Li Hui smiled coldly, "Now that my Cloud City has 100,000 soldiers, as long as the prince gives an order and waves the troops on his back, your Beiliang can't stop it at all!" ”

Dugu Xuerou was speechless for a while, and what Li Hui said was also true. This time, Dugu Yunliu attacked Yuncheng and recruited almost all the soldiers that could fight in Liang State, and now there is nothing else in Liang Country except for the thousands of imperial forest troops guarding the palace, so Xiao Jingcong really wants to wave his troops north, and it is only a matter of time before he destroys Northern Liang.

"If the Liang Kingdom really perishes, it may not be good for you Daxiao, right?" Dugu Xuerou regained her composure, calmed down her expression, and continued: "Now your Xiao Kingdom is not very peaceful in the country, if you really destroy our Liang Kingdom, aren't you afraid of giving the world an excuse to send troops to your Xiao Kingdom?" When the time comes, even you Xiao Guo will be difficult to stop, right? ”

As soon as Dugu Xuerou said this, the hall fell silent, so quiet that it seemed that only the heartbeat of each other could be heard.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Xiao Jingcong was the first to applaud, he stood up, walked down the steps and walked in front of Dugu Xuerou, "The eldest princess really has excellent knowledge, okay, this king has agreed to your peace conditions." ”

Although there were still people on the hall of "Lord ......" who wanted to persuade Xiao Jingcong to think twice, Xiao Jingcong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Dugu Xuerou nodded, bowed down again and bowed to Xiao Jingcong, "Thank you, Lord Xiao!" Then I'll go back and get ready......"

After sending Dugu Xuerou away, Xiao Jingcong retreated from everyone, leaving only Zhang Huatian and Li Yuanxiao here.

"City Lord Zhang, Prince Yuanxiao, this time this king was able to achieve this victory in Cloud City, it is indispensable for the great help of the two of you, this king thank you again." Xiao Jingcong bowed to them, and Zhang Huatian hurriedly helped Xiao Jingcong up.

"Lord Wang, you can't afford to worship your subordinates!" Moxue Literature Network

Li Yuanxiao, who was on the side, also echoed: "Yes, Lord Xiao, I'm not helping you this time, I'm just saving our Yuan Xia, I hope that Lord Xiao can abide by the covenant between the two countries and never rebel against each other, and Yuan Xia will never rebel!" ”

"Good! Prince Yuanxiao, don't worry, as long as this king is still a peerless general for a day, he will never use a single soldier against you Yuanxia! ”

Li Yuanxiao hugged his fists and respectfully saluted Xiao Jingcong, and then left the hall.

Soon, there were only two people left in the main hall, Xiao Jingcong and Zhang Huatian.

"City Lord Zhang, this time you can bring reinforcements back to save Cloud City in time, it really solves the urgent need."

"Lord Wang, Weichen just did what he should do. What's more, Yuncheng was handed down from ancestors, and it could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Northern Liang people no matter what. Zhang Huatian said solemnly, and then raised his head and stared at Xiao Jingcong with both eyes.

Xiao Jingcong and Zhang Huatian looked at each other for a while, and then said slowly: "City Lord Zhang, what you mean is understood by this king. You can rest assured, after this king returns to Beijing, Yuncheng will naturally be returned to you, and the city lord of Zhang will guard Yuncheng, the throat fortress of Daxiao! ”

When Zhang Huatian heard this, he immediately leaned over and knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the trust of the prince, Weichen will definitely live up to the prince's kindness, and he will be in Yuncheng forever for generations!" ”

"Good!"

……

Xiao Jingcong walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and saw the ruined Yuncheng City, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, this time the reconstruction of Yuncheng didn't know how long it would take.

Fortunately, the people of Cloud City had been moved out of the city to escape the war long before the war, so not many people died in the war this time.

On the streets of Yuncheng, many soldiers escorted the people of Yuncheng back to their homes and helped them rebuild their homes together.

Xiao Jingcong walked to the barracks, and the generals of the northern frontier were waiting for instructions in front of the camp, and when they saw Xiao Jingcong coming, they knelt down and saluted Xiao Jingcong.

"See Lord Xiao!"

"Let's all get even!"

Xiao Jingcong motioned for everyone to get up, and then there was a burst of generous words, which was nothing more than thanking them for being able to rush to the aid of Cloud City in time. Although some of the major generals disagreed with Xiao Jingcong, they all knew that the overall situation was important, and this time Yuncheng was able to hold and defeat the Liang army, and the concerted efforts of the generals were indispensable.

After speaking, Xiao Jingcong issued the last military order, asking these generals to lead their respective headquarters back to the checkpoints they guarded and continue to guard the frontier.

The generals knelt down in unison, and then each led the army to evacuate from around Cloud City.

After doing this, Xiao Jingcong finally breathed a sigh of relief, what should be done is almost done, and it is time to send good news to the capital. Thinking of the situation in the capital, Xiao Jingcong couldn't help frowning, maybe it was a more dangerous place than the northern Xinjiang, right?

"I don't know what's going on in the capital at the moment......

Xiao Jingcong walked up to the city tower, looking at the blood-colored plain that had not yet been cleaned, and his heart was full of feelings. At this time, Yan Zixi also walked over, and when she saw Xiao Jingcong standing alone on the city tower, Yan Zixi walked straight over.

"Jingcong, what are you looking at?"

"Xi'er is here?" Xiao Jingcong turned around and glanced at Yan Zixi, curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile.

Yan Zixi walked to Xiao Jingcong's side and stood side by side with him, "Jingcong, the war is finally over......" Looking at the devastated scenery of the city, Yan Zixi couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart, how many people's bones are buried here forever, and how many people will never return to their hometown......

War is cruel, but where there are people, there will be injustice, there will be fighting, and there will be war. Since ancient times, there has been no way to avoid it.

It is the same whether it is ancient or present.

So this is not a problem that Xiao Jingcong can solve alone.

"Xi'er, you said that it would be great if there was never a war!"

"Yes, it's a pity, there will be wars when there are people, and people can't fully understand each other, they all have their own positions, stand on their own positions, and nothing wrong with what they do. So war cannot be avoided. Yan Zixi let out a long sigh and replied leisurely.

"Even if it cannot be avoided completely, the husband will do his best to bring permanent peace to the people......"

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong stretched out her hand to Yan Zixi, "Xi'er, will you accompany me to the end?" No matter what happens in the future, are you willing to be by your husband's side? ”

Yan Zixi put her hand on it without thinking about it, then nodded vigorously, and replied firmly: "Jingcong, I am willing!" No matter what happens, no matter what you have to experience in the future, I will be by your side and accompany you until the end! ”
