Chapter 241: Peace Talks

Qiang Qu's face was full of wry smiles, way? What else can he do now? Now Zhao Yi surrounded Guangning County like an iron bucket, and the probes who climbed out were all shot and killed by Zhao Yi's patrol soldiers, even if a very small number of patrol soldiers evaded the official army, they never returned.

This general's words were deeply understood by everyone present, and after several battles, his army was sharply reduced from 50,000 to 22,000, including many wounded soldiers.

From the position of the official army, Qiangqu could see that Zhao Yi had no intention of attacking at all, and Zhao Yi wanted to trap them alive. Qiang Qu also knew that such an attack on the soldiers would cause heavy casualties, but there was no way. The siege had little impact on the officers and soldiers, but it was very serious for the Hun soldiers in the city.

If you don't rush out of Guangning County, your tens of thousands of soldiers will all die here, so the attack must be attacked. It's just that Qiangqu didn't expect Zhao Yi's defensive method to be so strange, and the spear in the hands of the official army was more than a foot away, which gave the Hun soldiers a great shock, if it weren't for this terrifying spear, which hurt their sharpness, the first time they attacked, the soldiers under him would break through the encirclement.

But now it is too late to say anything, compared with the powerful officers and soldiers, the strength of his own troops is now too weak, and the morale of the soldiers is low, and they are no longer able to organize an attack.

"Is there any change in the various departments of the official army?" Qiang Qu rubbed his head and slowly got up.

The general of the army said the strength of each unit of the official army, and after defeating the Hun soldiers, the official army resumed its position again, and there were no other changes.

"The best way now is for Zhao Yi to lead the army to attack the city, and even if we can't break through the obstacles of the official army, we will die vigorously." Qiangqu now hopes that Zhao Yi will send troops to attack the city, and he would rather die in the hands of the officials and soldiers than be trapped alive by the officials and soldiers.

When the generals heard Qiangqu's words, they smiled bitterly, and these people understood the situation at this time. Now that the initiative is in Zhao Yi's hands, Qiangqu can't influence Zhao Yi's thoughts at all, if he leads his troops out of the city, he will definitely be intercepted by the official army. But if you don't attack, you will be trapped here by the officers and soldiers.

In their opinion, their tribe is now in a dilemma, and this retreat will not last long, hundreds of war horses that have been killed with the troops have fallen to the ground, if the problem of grain and grass has not been solved in a few days, the remaining war horses are afraid that it will be difficult to preserve.

Qiang Qu clenched the bronze jue in his hand: "Zhao Yi is too deceitful!" He turned his eyes and ordered someone to get pen and ink, and personally wrote a letter of peace to Zhao Yi, and asked a general to send it to Zhao Yi's camp.

"Chief, now that the officials and troops of Youzhou have taken the initiative, I am afraid that they will not negotiate peace with our army." The subordinate general said with some concern.

Qiangqu also knew this, if Qiangqu was Zhao Yi, he would not agree to peace talks at this time, and now was a great opportunity to kill himself. As long as a general with a little brains will not agree to peace talks, not to mention Zhao Yi, who is resourceful, the probability of double anti-peace talks is equal to zero, but in addition, Qiangqu has no other way.

"I have already considered the general's words, this time it is not only to send letters, but more importantly, to find out the truth of the official and military camp. There is one more important matter that I would like to ask the general to do. When Qiang Qu said this, his eyes showed a cold color, and he stretched out his hand to greet the general and told him his plan.

The look of shock on the general's face has not gone down for a long time, the general thinks that Qiangqu's plan is too despicable, not righteous and bright enough, but now the situation of the Hun soldiers is critical, in order for the soldiers to get out of Guangning County alive, the general can only ignore the small sections. He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, the general will definitely do this." ”

The general did not hesitate at all, took two soldiers in the army with a letter of peace, and walked out of Guangning County on horseback.

Looking at the Qiang Canal at the city gate, I saw the general enter the camp of the official army. After the shield soldier in front of the officer and army asked about the man's intention, he welcomed the general into the city.

"Chief, how about General Yanfu's good luck?" There will be some worries around you. They have not dealt with Zhao Yi, but from the fact that when he fought with Zhao Yi, he asked the officials and soldiers to throw grass to lure the war horses, it can be seen that Zhao Yi is a person who does not achieve his goals and does not hesitate to use means.

Yan Fu is a favorite general of Qiangqu, and he is quite famous in the Xiongnu tribe, and he is even more loyal to Qiangqu. At the moment of emergency, Qiangqu didn't want Yan Fu to take risks, but now that it was a critical moment, looking around the Xiongnu tribe, only Yan Fu could do it now.

Qiang Qu slowly closed his eyes and sighed: "If there is any change in the official and military camp, report it immediately." At the same time, he turned his head and ordered the generals around him, "Quickly assemble the army and prepare for the attack." ”

The generals did not dare to hesitate and immediately walked down the city wall to mobilize soldiers.

In the official camp, Zhao Yi was discussing the current situation in Youzhou with Liu Bei's three brothers and Zhu Jun, as well as the future development direction of Youzhou, and the soldiers outside the battalion came in and reported: "My lord, the Xiongnu envoy brought a letter asking for peace to meet your lordship. ”

"Summation?" The bronze lord in Zhao Yi's hand paused slightly, the Hun soldiers who fought to the death and did not retreat even had a day to sue for peace?

Liu Bei and Zhu Jun have no doubts about the Qiangqu Department seeking peace, and now the strength of the Qiangqu Department has been greatly damaged, and it is reasonable for people to have the idea of peace, and those who do great things should be able to bend and stretch.

"Bring him in." Zhao Yi waved his hand and asked the soldiers to invite the messenger. "Let's see what the conditions of the Qiangqu are."

"Bolai, now that our army has the upper hand, it is a good time to make meritorious contributions, how can we agree to peace talks with Qiangqu." Liu Bei persuaded Zhao Yi, "If you put the Qiang Canal back, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain." ”

"Xuande, don't worry, Bolai must have a plan in his heart." Zhu Jun knows Zhao Yi very well, how could he let go of Qiangqu at such a time.

"We don't know anything about the situation in Quang Ninh County, so we just took this opportunity to investigate." Zhao Yi stated his purpose.

Between words and walks, his eyes looked at the official and military camp from time to time, and said in his heart that Zhao Yi is really not a simple person, this official and military camp looks very loose on the outside, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Even with the help of external soldiers, this kind of formation may be difficult to break through for a while.

Yan Fu, who entered the military tent, glanced at the general in the tent, and finally fell on Zhao Yi, who was sitting upright. For Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi, he has been friends for a long time, and he has long heard that Zhao Yi is a young talent, and he really deserves his reputation when he sees it today.

Bowed his hand to Zhao Yiluo, took out the discussion and letter written by Qiang Qu from his arms, and put his hands into Guan Yu's hands. As soon as he made contact with Guan Yu's hand, Yan Fu's face changed, from Guan Yu's sharp eyes and the calluses in the tiger's mouth, Yan Fu could be sure that Guan Yu's strength was not weak.

Zhao Yi glanced at the letter slightly, and said that this Qiangqu really has some courage, and it said that if Zhao Yi agrees to peace talks, Qiangqu is willing to send all the money of the tribe to compensate Zhao Yi for his losses this time.

Zhao Yi slowly closed the letter, and glanced at the words and replies standing below: "From this letter of seeking peace, it is enough to see that your army is indeed sincere, our department has been in Guangning County for many days, and the soldiers are very hard. Therefore, the official can agree to negotiate peace with your army, but the official must see the gold and silver first. ”

"Very good, please open the gates." Yan Fu bowed and said, he originally thought that Zhao Yi would make things difficult for him in every way, and he had no hope for today's peace talks. didn't expect Zhao Yi to agree to himself so easily.

"As long as the general puts the money in front of the officer, the officer immediately orders the soldiers to open the city gate and let your troops leave."

"This ......" Yan Fu hesitated, the money is in the Xiongnu tribe, and the Xiongnu tribe is three hundred miles away from the county seat of Guangning, if the money is escorted back and forth, it will take five or six days to say the least. For five or six days, even if the soldiers at the city gate could withstand it, the war horses were afraid that they would not be able to do it.

Now the situation in Guangning County, Yan Fu naturally can't say, his eyes rolled: "This money is all in the Xiongnu tribe, and two thousand Hun soldiers are needed to escort it." Please order the officers and soldiers to get out of the way, let 2,000 soldiers come over, and go to the Xiongnu tribe with the last general. ”

Zhao Yi stood up, glanced at Yan Fu with a smile, and directly said what Yan Fu thought in his heart: "The general is really a good strategy. If our officers and soldiers get out of the way and let your army in, I am afraid that these two thousand soldiers will immediately become enemies, and then Qiangqu and these two thousand soldiers will break through the front and rear of our officers and troops, and Qiangqu will get out of trouble, so naturally there is no need to give our army money. ”

Yan Fu was very uncomfortable being stared at by Zhao Yi, and under Zhao Yi's sharp gaze, Yan Fu felt that the biggest secret in his heart had been seen through by Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi's words can be described as exquisite, and he said what Yan Fu thought in his heart.

This Zhao Yi's judgment is accurate and his reaction is fast, which is what Yan Fu has seen in his life, even if it is the military advisor in the tribe, he is slightly inferior to Zhao Yi.

"If the general is sincere, he can go to the Xiongnu tribe alone, escort the money over, and the official will immediately collect the troops." Zhao Yi's loyal face, coupled with this sonorous and powerful words, seemed to be very sincere.

But Liu Bei, who had dealt with Zhao Yi many times, saw Zhao Yi's expression, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Liu Bei dared to guarantee that if Yan Fu really transported the money, Zhao Yi would definitely go back on his word and take the money to deal with the Hun soldiers in the city.

Yan Fu's face showed hesitation, and the two sides fought many times and accumulated deep grievances, how could it be resolved by the simple words of the peace letter. Liang Jiuyan sighed and agreed: "Since Lord Zhao has this request, the general will naturally comply, and ask the Lord to write a handwritten letter, so as not to regret it in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jun smiled and shook his head, if this letter was written by the emperor himself, it would be convincing, but if it was written by Zhao Yi's hand, it would be much weaker, compared with the benefits, this short letter of reconciliation was so pale and weak.

At that time, Zhao Yi only needs to say that he will not get tired of deceit, and he can explain this matter perfectly.

Zhao Yi stared at Yan Fu's eyes, and his mind turned rapidly. At this time, even if you can't bring the soldiers back, you should ask me to send some grain and grass into Guangning County, why did you agree so simply?

Zhao Yi thought about it for a long time and agreed: "Okay, I promise the general." Zhao Yi wrote a letter with a stroke of a pen, and there was only one sentence on it, the money arrived, and the officers and troops evacuated.

When Guan Yu handed the letter to Yan Fu, Yan Fu, who took two steps to receive the letter, was unsteady, staggered and walked two steps, and just when he was about to fall to the ground, his waist straightened, his body immediately straightened, his strong wrist flipped, and a dagger that emitted a faint cold light stabbed straight towards Zhao Yi's chest!
