Chapter 175: The Water is Boundless, and the Way to Return is Long (11)

Fanxiang looked at Su Xinyan and Chun Yu Tiying, with a solemn expression, and said to everyone: "Go to Wuyu Gorge, cross the border into the underworld, and fight the devils of the North Palace." What are your plans?"

All the Rui Shi said in unison: "Our mental magic is taught by the great general, and the Rui Shi Clan is created by the great general, and we are willing to go to the underworld with the great general." ”

Chun Yu Tiying looked up at Fan Xiang and said softly: "Before my father left, he left his last words to ask the general to take care of me, I must follow my father's last words, where the general goes, I will go." ”

"We are all willing to follow the general!" said Mei Duoer and the thirteen female generals in unison.

Fan Xiang looked at Mei Duo'er and said, "Duo'er, you better go back, your parents will worry about you." ”

"I'm not going back! My father has changed since he became king, and I don't know him, and my mother is very pitiful now, and my father and my mother haven't been together for a long time, and they quarrel when they meet. I don't want to go back to that home again. I don't know where my home is now?" said Meadow, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Oh well. Fanxiang watched Mei Duoer sobbing softly, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for this child who seemed to never grow up. Then, he turned back to everyone and said, "Then the big guy will go with me to a distant place that you have never been to before!"

"Are we coming back?" Ayiguli asked, looking at Fanxiang.

"......" Fanxiang looked at the long yellow sand under the western sky, silent.

"If you don't go back?" Ayiguli also looked at the yellow sand under the sky to the west, and her voice was soft, like a question, as if talking to herself.

"Then it's gone!"

"Well, then there will be no return!" said the crowd aloud.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a horse team rushing from the west, and the sand and dust raised obscured the sky in the distance. Fan Xiang suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, stepped on the earth mole god horse, rushed to a high sand dune, and looked from a distance, only to see an army of about 100,000 people coming from the west, fighting the bald eagle of the North Palace, and rushing towards the Exquisite City.

It turned out that it was Qiu Yuanye who learned through the spy intelligence distributed in the city that there was an accident in the Jingjue City yesterday, and the army's morale was unstable, so on the one hand, he sent the Mubin Ao Peng to lead the negotiation delegation from Ronglu City to Jingjue Country through Minfeng Light Car Jian Cong yesterday afternoon to do peace negotiations, and on the other hand, he sent Shangguan Wanqiu, the head of the five tiger generals, to lead a number of brave commanders last night to fly to Humi City on a ground-effect aircraft, and selected 100,000 elite soldiers from the passing army in the city, and went straight to the Jingjue Ancient City, wanting to take this opportunity to carry out a beheading operation against Fanxiang or Mei Lingfeng at the time of the chaos in the Jingjue City, and extinguished the Jingjue in one go。 In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Shangguan Wanqiu did not use infantry, but gathered his brave generals such as General Tianlong, General Gaitian, General Han Zhou and others to lead 100,000 cavalry troops, plus his own 20,000 directly subordinate Tiefutu, a total of 120,000 elite cavalry. The purpose of this army's trip, the first strategy was to attack and destroy the Elite City in one fell swoop when the Elite Kingdom was unprepared, and the second strategy was to change it to a deterrent army when the Elite State was on defense, and stationed outside the Elite City to cooperate with the negotiator in the city, Ao Peng.

When the Beigong Raiders marched to more than ten miles away from the meadow where Fan Xiang and the others were, they were discovered by Fan Xiang. Fan Xiang then ordered Mei Duoer to lead the thirteen Ying back to the city to convene the wall-breaking army directly under Fan Xiang, and the right to transfer troops for the rest of the battalion soldiers required the transfer of troops granted by Mei Lingfeng before they could be mobilized. Under the current situation, the Elite King Mei Lingfeng will never believe in Fanxiang and return the military power to Fanxiang. In order to buy time for the 700 wall-breaking troops to set up the formation, Fan Xiang immediately led 28 sharp soldiers to attack and harass the enemy. In front of the Beigong Rushing Army, the army shot with bows and arrows, and a herald officer held a small yellow flag in his hand, waved it to Fanxiang and the others, and shouted: "Who is coming, please report your name!"

Fan Xiang led twenty-eight sharp soldiers, stopped at two hundred paces opposite the enemy, and after listening to the words of the enemy's herald, he said loudly: "Fan Xiang is here, let your leading commander come out and speak." ”

The Beigong army broke a path in it, and then, a thousand ironclad guards in bright armor surrounded a young general and rode a tall horse and slowly walked to the front of the army. Under the canopy, the young general shook a folding fan with plum blossoms on a white background, his demeanor was leisurely and elegant, he looked petite, very delicate and elegant, and a white dragon horse on his crotch, wearing a silver crown with tied hair, white robe and silver armor, and a white cloak.

The young general immediately clasped his fist to Fan Xiang, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you remember that Murong Wanxi, General Fan Xiang, please advise, haha." His voice was soft and tactful, and the smile in the corner of his eyes was like a breeze blowing across the water in March.

When Fan Xiang heard this, he was slightly stunned, returned a salute on the horse, and said loudly: "Our army has no intention of being an enemy with Beigong, but if Beigong insists on treating our army as an opponent, then we can only draw our sword and be a competent opponent." ”

The young general Murong Wanxi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Our army has been ordered to come here today to protect our negotiation mission to your country, please General Fanxiang don't worry about it." He turned his head and said to the other white-robed young general who came up: "Sister Wanqiu, this is the Fan Xiangfan General I mentioned to you before, haha." ”

The woman in the white robe next to her was called Shangguan Wanqiu, and when she heard it, she just bowed her head slightly, noncommittal.

Fan Xiang immediately returned the salute and said loudly: "Since your army is here for peace talks, you must not take a step forward, please keep a safe distance from our army." Talking, can, beating, accompaniment, bullying, delusion. ”

"Hehe, this is easy to say, our army will camp here today, please General Fanxiang for convenience. Murong Wanxi shook the folding fan in her hand and said lightly.

"Well, as long as your army abides by our agreement, listen to it. ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, then let's do it, General Fanxiang, farewell. Murong Wanxi and Shangguan Wanqiu bowed lightly to Fanxiang, slowly pulled the horse's head, and returned to the army.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the west gate, and after a while, I saw a palace guard galloping on horseback, and when he came closer, he said to Fan Xiang: "The king has sent an edict that General Fan Xiang and his twenty-eight sharp soldiers will return to the city quickly, and everyone will not be responsible for the crimes of the past." ”

"What's going on in the city?"

"Report to the general, the envoy of the Beigong peace talks has arrived in our country, and the king asks the general to return to the city as soon as possible to participate in the peace talks. ”

Fanxiang looked back at everyone. The twenty-eight warriors all looked at each other and were silent.

"Brother Fanxiang, let's not go back, people in this city, I, I ......" Chun Yu Tiying looked at Fanxiang with a very sad expression.

Fan Xiang looked at Chun Yu Tiying, urged the horse to walk up to Chun Yu Tiying, and said softly: "Miss Tiying, maybe they have laughed at me, or maybe they have slandered me, and perhaps, they have stood on my opposite side and attacked me, but as long as they still love this country, are loyal to this country, and have not betrayed this country, then I am still willing to fight for them, to fight, or to die, because they are mine and your compatriots." ”

Chun Yu Tiying didn't want to look at Fan Xiang, lowered her head and listened, gradually, a faint red flew on her face, raised her head, looked at Fan Xiang, and said ashamedly: "Brother Fan Xiang, I listen to you, what you say, just do it." ”

"Okay, let's go back to the city!"

Everyone turned their horses' heads and flew towards the exquisite ancient city,......。

"This king will listen to your advice now and summon Fan Xiang back, it won't be bad for this king, right?" Mei Lingfeng sat on the couch in a side hall of the palace, quietly looking at Bo Zitong who was standing in front of him.

"The minister thought that since the king had taken back the military power of General Fanxiang, he would have taken away the possible opportunity for General Fanxiang to seek power and seize the throne to a great extent, so that those who supported him would have no chance to take advantage of it, and it would be very beneficial for the king to deal with General Fanxiang in the future. Bo Zitong took a step forward and said respectfully.

"Do you think he won't have a chance to rebel in the future?"

"I'm not sure,...... At least not yet, though. ”

"Why not now?"

"Because, because he doesn't have to it now. At present, more than half of the city's citizens love him, even surpassing the king, so for now, General Fanxiang does not need to make another move. ”

"Hmm,......" Mei Lingfeng touched the few spots of white beard on his chin, and said in thought, "What about the future?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to make the people of the city no longer support General Fanxiang, but instead support and love the king. Bo Zitong said with a flattering smile.

"Tell me about it. Mei Lingfeng asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, this time Beigong sent a peace negotiation mission to our country for peace talks, and our country appointed General Fanxiang as the chief negotiator of the peace talks, and then the ministers arranged for personnel to spread rumors among the people, saying that General Fanxiang refused the peace negotiations of Marshal Beigong Qiu, which broke down the peace negotiations, and put our country in a state of war with Beigong, and all the people hoped for peace, so that General Fanxiang would be completely spurned by the people. ”

"Okay, just do it your way, haha. ”

"No! Chen went to arrange peace talks with the Beigong mission, and Weichen retired. Bo Zitong took a step back, bowed to the king, and retreated to the door, and when he came to the door, he turned around and went out of the side hall.

In the Changle Palace and the conference hall, Fan Xiang, as the chief negotiator of the Elite Country, was negotiating fiercely with the Ao Peng negotiation team sent by Beigong Qiuyuanye.

Fanxiang raised three core concerns:-

First, Beigong completely canceled the blockade and hostilities to ensure the territorial security of the Elite Kingdom.

The second is that Beigong is not allowed to levy any taxes and people from the Jingjue Kingdom, and does not send a single soldier to participate in all the actions of Beigong.

The third is the autonomy and balance of national sovereignty. Every country has its own dignity, and the text of the agreement must be balanced and acceptable. We will never make concessions on major issues of principle.

In view of the importance of these three core issues, the chief negotiator of Beigong said that he would consult with coach Akiharano, and only after Akiharano had instructions could he continue negotiations. In this way, for three consecutive days, the two sides were in recess. However, in the past three days, rumors spread in the city that Fan Xiang, as the chief negotiator, deliberately made it difficult for Beigong's peace negotiations, so that the negotiations could not proceed normally, so the people in the city were panicked.

Three days later, peace talks between the two sides were restarted. The negotiators of the North Palace unanimously decided to accept the negotiation request put forward by the Elite Country, but the negotiator of the North Palace, Ao Peng, was very arrogant, he smiled strangely at the negotiators of the Elite Country, and only put forward one condition, that is, as the chief negotiator of the Elite Country, Fan Xiang must be detained in the North Palace Army as the proton of the commander Akiharano. As soon as this condition was proposed, the whole city was in an uproar. Under such conditions, the negotiating team led by Van Xiang protested by adjourning the meeting.

Peace talks were forced to stop.
