Tao Zhutu brought the words to Xie Xuanming, who was stationed in the government that night, and said how the thieves were so powerful, how many people were numerous, how they lacked food and clothing, how they sent armor soldiers to greet them, and how they spoke wildly.

The peach and rabbit said that the voice and color were vivid, and the appearance of the thief and the strong in the middle was vivid, and the wisdom and martial arts that Lan Ziyi said were all over the river.

Of course, Xie Xuanming frowned when he heard it, but no matter how he interrogated Tao Zhutu, he couldn't say anything, the words were still like that, Lan Ziyi still had a tough attitude in his mouth, but the battle was peaceful, but it was ambiguous.

After Tao Zhutu finished speaking, he went back to the camp, according to Tao Zhutu, Xiong Jingzong and Qi Rongxun both advocated the battle after hearing about the conditions offered by the thief.

Although Xie Xuanming did not make a clear statement, he frowned and no longer mentioned the matter of peace talks.

This is expected, Lan Ziyi is quite satisfied with this result, and in the next few days, he only worked hard in the camp and paid close attention to personnel, just waiting for Xie Xuanming in the government to invite him to come over to discuss the matter of going to war.

But after waiting for a few days, there was no movement on the side of the government, but I heard that the thieves sent an envoy to discuss the matter of Zhao'an.

This time, the thieves did say that they wanted to discuss Zhao'an, but the caliber of the thieves' conversation a few days ago was still "peace talks".

Could it be that the thief figured things out so quickly and figured out his identity?

Lan Ziyi always felt that this was unlikely, the change was too fast, and there was no room for return.

For such a drastic turn to occur, it is either a change of power within the thieves, or there is fraud.

But no matter what happens, now is not the time to sit idle, you have already suffered the loss of the enemy's unknown situation, and the gentleman is not wrong, there is no need to make the same mistake again.

Lan Ziyi immediately ordered the soldiers to invite the peach to chase the deer,

Although Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu grew up together, when they were young, they only felt that the second brother just didn't like to talk very much, and he really didn't find his talent in intelligence gathering and intelligence personnel construction before, no wonder he was selected as the reserve of the Falcon Battalion.

At this time, just after dinner, it was dark, the soldiers had already eaten dinner and returned to their tents, playing dice, gambling money, Tao Zhutu also asked Lan Ziyi for some broken silver after dinner, and ran to gamble money.

There was a noise on all sides of the tent, and the soldiers were in high spirits, shouting and shouting,

The soldiers patrolling the camp lined up and shuttled through the roads between the camps, and even in the noisy camp, there was a rustling sound.

As soon as a group of soldiers passed by the door, there was the sound of peaches chasing deer at the door

"Wei Hou, you look for me."

兰子义 says:

"General Zhulu, please come in."

Tao Zhulu gently entered the big tent and stood in the tent to salute Lanziyi,

Lan Ziyi motioned for Tao Zhulu to sit down,

Tao Zhulu saw that Lan Ziyi's table was still in a mess, and asked:

"Wei Hou is busy with official documents again?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"It's nothing more than the allocation of grain and grass, the arrangement of rewards and punishments, and some trivial matters, which can be handled at any time.

There are more important things than that. “

Lan Ziyi looked up at Tao Zhulu and asked:

"I've heard that another thief has recently arrived."

Tao Zhulu heard Lan Ziyi ask, and did not answer in time, but slowly turned his head and carefully observed the tent canvas inch by inch,

Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhulu was afraid that the wall would have ears, and if Tao Zhulu was so worried, it would mean that the next thing to say was very important.

Tao Zhulu looked carefully outside the tent, and after making sure that there was no one, he said:

"That's why I'm here tonight."

Tao Zhulu looked around again and said:

"Today, Xie Xuanming just came back from the thief camp."

Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he heard this, and almost jumped up from his chair,

Xie Xuanming: What is this for? Defection? No way. Negotiation? Why go yourself? What kind of conditions did the thieves offer, so that Xie Xuanming could go over in person.

Lan Ziyi slowly sat back in his chair, his head was full of questions now, and he didn't know where to start.

After settling down, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why didn't you inform me about this?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Not only did Wei Hou not be notified, but there were few people in the city who knew about it."

Lan Ziyi took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, leaned his body on the back behind him, and rested for a while.

Although Lan Ziyi was very relieved of his ability to chase the deer, he couldn't help but ask:

"Are you sure?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Xie Xuanming's actions are secretive throughout the whole process, and our people on the thief's side only know that there are people in the official army, and the level is not low, I will sort out the information collected in various parts of the city, especially the information on the government side, and only after comparing it can I conclude that the person who went is Xie Xuanming."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"But why did he go to the thieves' camp?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Ostensibly, I'm going to recruit An."

Ting Tao said this, Lan Ziyi frowned and asked:

"Ostensibly?"

Tao Zhulu nodded and said:

"At least Xie Xuanming thinks so, the people who received this matter in the government said that they were going to Zhao'an, but the situation on the thief's side was different."

Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhulu and said:

"Go on."

桃扵鹿 says:

"The last time we went to the thief camp, the kid I mentioned was the guard of the thief Kou Heavenly King, and he told me that this time the reception Xie Xuanming did not choose a soldier, and the camp did not specially clean up and arrange a new tent, on the contrary, this time from the arrival of Xie Xuanming and his party outside the camp, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were arranged along the way, and the hardcover was all hidden.

The people I bought outside the camp and the eyeliner planted gave me similar information, and the thieves hid the elite. “

Lan Ziyi thought about it after listening and said:

"The last time I went, I was exaggerating, and this time I was showing weakness."

桃扵鹿 says:

"There are even more ruthless,

The kid told me that he had overheard a few conversations between the Heavenly King and Xie Xuanming, and although it was only a few words, the information revealed was very amazing. The thief Kou Heavenly King begged Xuanming to spare him from death, as long as the officials and soldiers were willing to spare his life, he was willing to unload his armor and surrender immediately. “

Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this, and said:

"It's so different from the last time I was approached, why is this happening?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"That's another piece of important information for today."

Lan Ziyi anxiously asked:

"Say it quickly."

Tao Zhulu leaned forward slightly and said:

"As soon as Wei Hou left that day, the thief Kou Heavenly King released Lei Youde."

When Lan Ziyi heard that Lei Youde was released, he couldn't sit still at all, jumped up and asked:

"Why is General Zhulu only saying this kind of thing now?"

Tao Zhulu got up and clenched his fists and said:

"The lack of information is a subordinate mistake, but this is also the news I just got."

Lan Ziyi sighed, motioned for Tao Zhulu to sit down, and then asked each other:

"In other words, the thief is deliberately hiding the news of Lei Youde?

Could the kid who gave you the message be the other way around? “

Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:

"If he was the opposite, he should have kept the news of Lei Youde's comeback all the time, and he shouldn't have said it, but he still told me today,

And he's been providing me with information these days, it's all true,

I'm more inclined to think that he did just find out about it. “

Lan Ziyi nodded, thought about it with his eyes closed, and said:

"If Lei Youde comes back, then things will make sense, this method is indeed very similar to what Lei Youde did before.

But why did he do it? What does he want to do? “

桃扵鹿 says:

"I didn't understand why Lei Youde did this, but I always felt that this matter was for Wei Hou, otherwise why should Xie Xuanming's going to the thief camp be kept secret."

Lan Ziyi nodded, leaned back in the chair and didn't speak for a long time, he thought for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and said to Tao Zhulu:

"Quick, General Zhulu, hurry up and invite the two gentlemen of the enemy family."

Tao Zhulu nodded, and was about to get up and go out, but there was a hurried footstep at the door, and a sergeant walked to the door and said:

"Qi Qi Wei waits, Lord Xie Xuanming asks to see you."

Hearing the news, Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu glanced at each other and were taken aback.

兰子义 says:

"Nope!

The gate of the camp is closed, how can it be opened casually? Tell Master Xie that I will talk about it tomorrow. “

The sergeant sounded a little flustered, and said:

"But, but Master Hou, Master Xie has already come in."

As soon as the words fell, a rush of footsteps came, and Xie Xuanming led the two military department directors to stride into the account.

Seeing the scene, Lan Ziyi also knew how Xie Xuanming came in, so he whispered to Tao Zhulu:

"Go and ask the two gentlemen to talk to them briefly."

Peach chased the deer and led the order out.

Then Lan Ziyi put on a smiling face and said to Xie Xuanming:

"Master Xie must have something important to discuss when he broke into the camp late at night."

Xie Xuanming looked angry, looked at Lan Ziyi and said:

"Lan Ziyi, you dare to tell any lie for your military exploits."

Lan Ziyi didn't know why, so he was scolded by Xie Xuanming, and he was annoyed, and said:

"Master Xie made it clear, where did I lie?"

Xie Xuanming looked at Lan Ziyi with his hands on his waist and said:

"You said that the thieves asked for the third duke, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was willing to surrender?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Exactly."

Xie Xuanming asked again:

"You said that the thieves picked out the elite warriors to come out to greet them?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Exactly."

Xie Xuanming asked:

"And how did you talk to the thief?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Of course, it's to declare my heavenly power, and I won't let an inch of land.

How could the thieves agree to such a condition?

But Master Xie, you can tell me clearly that I am a way to lie? “

Xie Xuanming was still angry, and said to Lan Ziyi:

"I just came back from the camp today, and the leader of the thieves cried to me, when he waited for you to go to the camp of the thieves, he begged bitterly, as long as he was willing to spare his life, he would surrender, but you had to kill all of them, and they were willing to let the others surrender before they were willing to give their heads, and threatened to raise troops and horses to level the thieves.

That's how Wei Hou proclaimed my imperial authority? “

When Lan Ziyi heard Xie Xuanming's words, he had a feeling of his scalp exploding, but it was not accompanied by a rapid heartbeat, but a feeling of anchoring in his heart, it turned out that Lei Youde was playing this one.

Lan Ziyi said sharply:

"Thief, this is nonsense."
