When Su Lu received the news, he was confused.

The Mali people want to negotiate peace?

After destroying several large ships and several warships, the Mali turned their heads to negotiate peace.

There's definitely something greasy in this.

Su Lu looked at Joseph, this kid must know something.

Now there were no outsiders in the military tent, except for the land battle Gao Dabao, who was one of Joseph's retinue.

Joseph gestured to his gaze, meaning that this retinue was not his own.

Lu Zhan said with a smile:

"There are no outsiders here, General Jin, I have wronged you to make up and lurk, you have worked hard all these years."

The attendant suddenly stood up and saluted Su Lu:

"The last general, Jin Yi, has seen the prince and the generals."

As he spoke, Jin Yi casually wiped his hand on his face, and the original Taixi's face changed, turning into a face that leaned towards the Eastern, and he looked at Joseph with a smile.

"My lord Mingjian, the last general was ordered to lurk, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity, please forgive me."

Joseph looked at his closest retinue in bewilderment, watching him change from a Tessie to an Oriental, and he could stuff an egg in his mouth.

"What kind of method is this, so magical?"

Lu Zhan introduced and said next to him:

"This is the transfiguration technique, one of the three great miracles of my Orient, you can adjust your face with the help of internal breath, and then with the help of some herbs, you can change your face and become the person you want to become."

Joseph's mouth opened wider, this Nima's, it's amazing.

"Can a man become a woman?"

Joseph's eyes flashed as he asked urgently.

Lu Zhan's expression changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Joseph up and down, and his tone was a little annoyed:

"What did General Joseph think of the disguise technique!"

Joseph smiled wryly, his face full of disappointment, and turned to talk about the military:

"These days, General Jin and I have been trapped in the camp by the Malis, and Shantes has been asking me to write a letter to ask me to attack Jiameng Pass with the Taixi Army, but ten days ago, Shanentes suddenly changed his mind and never asked me to go out to the army again, until today."

Jin Yi added next to him:

"I've not been idle these days, I walk around the camp every day, and twelve days ago, I found out that a messenger from the Mali had come, and Shantes had received a new military intelligence report from Mali."

Su Lu nodded:

"So it makes sense, there is another war in Mali, and the domestic attitude towards the war in Chu should have changed, Shantes originally wanted to go down with a drum, but now he has lost the battle, knowing that our army is not easy to with, and even dare to use a strong crossbow, he has no intention of fighting."

"I think his attack on Qidu is also a void and a snake, right?"

Joseph nodded:

"Shantes is cunning, I think eight out of ten of his sentences are false, and I don't know what his idea is now."

Hua Xun said impatiently beside him:

"It doesn't matter what his idea is, when General Zhao Wu comes south, I will take him in one go, General Cao Hua's war in Qindi is going well, but I am fighting like this here, and Mrs. Xiao's righteous army will help, if I can't fight again, it will be transmitted back to the imperial court, and I, General Mingwei, will not do it."

Joseph was a little stunned, could it be that Prince Su really stopped being a director, and had already entrusted all the power to General Hua Xun.

Su Lu waved his hand:

"You can do this thing, but you must arrange Joseph and General Jin, the two of them have made great contributions to our Han country, and you can't let the two of them be wronged."

After Su Lu finished speaking, he left the camp on the grounds of exhaustion.

Hua Xun immediately sat on the main seat, asked Jin Yi and said:

"General Jin, how many people are in the Mali army now, how much is the weaponry, grain and grass, if the big war starts, how is the morale?"

Jin Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"The military tents of the Mali people are connected, if my estimate is good, there should be more than 60,000, among the weapons, there should be birds, compared with the birds of my Han country, the flight speed will be much faster."

"Most of the grain and grass were plundered from the cities of Chu State, but it was also sufficient, and it should be safe to support the half-moon war."

"It's not easy to say about morale, the Mali people are far away from their homeland, and their morale is naturally a little low, but when they fight with the Chu people, their morale is strong, and it's hard to say that if they fight with our Han Kingdom, will they still look like this."

Su Lu nodded:

"Okay, the two of you work hard, take a break, and worry the two of you to go back tomorrow to talk to Shantes, just say that I Hua followed, if he turns around now and goes to attack the Chu State, our agreement is still valid, if there is any more moth, the Han army will attack him immediately."

"Newspaper"

A herald burst into the tent, one knee on the ground, his voice full of urgency.

"Commander, the army of Malis has begun to attack the city."

Hua Xun's face changed, and he glared at Joseph and Jin Yi angrily:

"The Malis are attacking the city!"

The two were a little confused for a while, and the Mali people attacked the city.

Jin Yi's face changed, and he said angrily:

"We were deceived by the Mali people, but the truth is true, the Mali people are determined to attack the city, we are just bait."

Joseph's face was gloomy, and his mind raced through his possible fate.

General Hua Xun was angry and cut himself down, and then the Han State resented Taixi, and immediately pushed the Han Kingdom and Taixi to the opposite side, and exchanged his own life for Taixi to completely stand on the opposite side of the Han Kingdom.

"What a vicious strategy."

Joseph gritted his teeth and said, Shantes, the grandson, made a compromise, but he didn't expect it to be all pretended.

Hua Xun hurriedly went out of the account.

Joseph asked Jin Yi nervously:

"No, before I came out of the big tent, although I didn't see the military report of the Mali people, the tired and haggard appearance of Shantes and a few main generals will not be wrong."

"There must be something wrong here, even if Shantes wants to use the lives of the two of us, it is impossible to make such a good disguise, the battle of the crossbow is not a trivial matter, this will destroy the country."

Jin Yi Huoran got up, his face was pale:

"In the army of the Malis, they may carry strong crossbows."

At the same time, in the midst of the Mali camp.

Shantes waved his army to attack the city, and all kinds of siege equipment were pushed up like water, siege vehicles, ladders, watchtowers, and all kinds of ordnance were erected, and crossbow arrows were shot at the head of the city like water.

The infantry pushed the high ladder and reached the city wall, and a dozen sergeants pressed the ladder desperately, and the dexterous sergeant held a blade in his mouth and climbed up quickly.

The large ballistae constantly sprayed crossbow arrows, suppressing the Han army ballistae at the head of the city.

The navy also moved, and the two warships approached the water gate, constantly throwing crossbow arrows at the head of the city, and on the deck, the armored sergeants with shields and swords were ready to attack the city.

The Mali people have exhausted their land and water armies, and they look like they want to conquer Cangwu in one fell swoop.

When Hua Xun arrived at the city gate, a soldier Mali climbed the city wall, brandished a blade, forced away the sergeant on the left, and rushed left and right.

Hua Xun was furious:

"Spear formation, up, push me down."

"Hua Zixi, he can't hold the city, Lao Tzu skinned him."

"A strong crossbow?"

"What about the ballista artillery, shoot down the birds for me, there may be a strong crossbow on it."

Hua Xun pointed to a bird that had already flown in the air, and roared violently.

As soon as the war began, the Malis were about to use the crossbow, a big killing weapon, and Shantes was determined to fight to the death.
