Meng Yu was taken aback when he saw Zhu Rong say the same, "What? How can you say such a thing? Zhu Rong pondered: "After these days of war, I can also see that we are not the opponent of the Han army at all!" I heard that the most elite under Lu Bu is the Long Tao army, which has not yet come to participate in the war, and the main force is still pinned down in the Luoyang area. We can't even deal with the Lu Bu army in front of us, if the main force of the Lu Bu army, or even the Long Tao army, comes, won't our various clans be wiped out? The leaders agreed, expressing a strong desire for a truce.

Meng Huo puffed and panted, and his two copper bell-like eyes were full of annoyance.

Zhu Rong glanced at Meng Shu and said in a deep voice: "It's a matter of life and death for all ethnic groups, it's better not to be stubborn!" ”

Meng Shu said angrily: "Our army has just been defeated, if we go to seek peace, I am afraid that it will make Lu Bu even more powerful and more rampant!" ”

The leaders couldn't help but show worry, they were also worried that Lu Bu would not agree, they put themselves in their shoes: if they changed to Lu Bu's position, I am afraid they would not agree to sue for peace, after all, if they defeated their opponents on the battlefield, why bother to negotiate peace with their opponents? The leaders were silent, their faces gloomy.

Zhu Rong said: "I don't think so. All eyes immediately converged on her face.

Zhu Rong said: "Now Lu Bu's energy is mainly to compete with the princes in the Central Plains, in fact, there is no extra energy to deal with us. Although Lu Bu has the ability to destroy us, this war will not be easy for him! How many soldiers do you have to lose? How much food do you have to consume? After this battle, how to compete with other princes? Therefore, Lu Bu should also try his best to end the war in Nanzhong. ”

Everyone felt the same way, and the originally worried hearts were activated again; Meng Shu was silent, he did not want to negotiate peace, but the current shape shì could not help him. This defeat was so great that most of the soldiers and horses were wiped out under the iron hooves of the other party, and with the previous losses, the Nanban tribes could no longer bear the losses.

"Since there is a peace talk, then I will send an envoy there." Meng Shoudao.

Zhu Rong nodded.

Meng Yu thought for a while, "I'll let Meng You go." ”

Zhu Rong shook his head, "No! I'll go. ”

Meng was shocked, "How can this work?" What if Lu Bu detains you? Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then Lu Bu is not the person I imagined, you should be ready to fight to the end!" Meng Shu shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no!" I can't let you risk it! ”

Zhu Rong said: "Only if I go, I won't let the plan deviate!" In addition, my identity can also be trusted by Zhang Lang! Don't hesitate, there is no time for us to hesitate at this moment! ”

Meng Shu was helpless and nodded.

……

Zhang Lang stood in front of the map, and Ma Chao and Xu Huang stood behind him. Zhang Lang pointed to Kunming Lake, "According to the intelligence, all the departments of the barbarian army have retreated here. Although we have eliminated many of them, the barbarian army still has a strength of nearly 100,000, can we break through it with the current strength of our army? ”

Xu Huang frowned and said: "There are less than 10,000 people left in the infantry army under my command, and they are all scarred and exhausted, so I am afraid of ......."

Ma Chao frowned and said: "If it is on the field, with the sudden combat strength of our army, it is enough to completely annihilate them, but if you want to attack the city?" Glancing at Xu Huang, "It won't work without the cooperation of the infantry!" ”

Zhang Lang frowned, "Nanzhong, it's very troublesome!" I don't have that much energy to spend with them! You have to do everything you can to solve the problem! "Zhang Lang is thinking about whether to transfer Long Taojun over? However, the Kwantung princes are eyeing each other, and if Long Tao's army is transferred again, Luoyang will be in danger.

An officer rushed in and reported: "General Qiqi, the envoy of the Southern Barbarians asks to see you." ”

Zhang Lang turned around, "Southern Barbarian Envoy? "Thought," bring him in. The officer answered and ran down. Zhang Lang returned to the main seat and sat down, and Ma Chao and Xu Huang stood on the left and right.

After a while, the officer led the Nanban envoy in, hugged his fists and said, "The Nanban envoy has arrived." Then he retreated. Zhang Lang was a little surprised, the Nanban envoy in front of him turned out to be a tall and sexy beautiful girl in leather armor and cloak, not as soft as the Central Plains woman, but as wild as a flame.

"Zhu Rong has seen the general." Zhu Rong bowed to the barbarian chest with the barbarians.

"You're Zhu Rong?"

Zhu Rong replied, "Yes." ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Zhu Rong caught a glimpse of the map shelf next to him, and the map about Kunming Lake was hanging impressively, and his heart was shocked. said to Zhang Lang: "I'm here to negotiate peace with the general?" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "I didn't plan to make peace with you!" You've broken your word once, and I can't believe you! ”

Zhu Rong looked at Zhang Lang and did not back down in the face of Zhang Lang's gaze, "If the general insists on sweeping Nanzhong, our tribe can only fight to the death!" Zhang Lang sneered: "Do you think you can resist our army?" "No! My southern and central divisions are by no means the opponents of the great generals! But even if they are cattle and sheep, they will resist desperately if they are forced into a corner, let alone people? Although we are no match for the general, if the general wants to completely pacify Nanzhong, I am afraid that he will have to pay an unimaginable price, casualties, loss of money and food, and even more worrying - will the Kwantung princes take the opportunity to attack? ”

Zhang Lang said teasingly: "You really have a heart for me!" ”

"I'm just telling the truth. If this war continues, it will certainly be a disaster for the southern and central departments, but it will not be a good thing for the general! The main enemies of the Great Shogun are the Kwantung princes, not us! ”

Zhang Lang sneered: "It is precisely because I want to deal with the Kwantung princes with all my strength that I want to completely remove these annoying interferences of you!" Only in this way can I compete with all the princes in the Central Plains with peace of mind! ”

Zhu Rong's heart sank, and he frowned: "Could it be that the general insists on carrying out the war to the end?" ”

Zhang Lang leaned back and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to talk to you at all. But you have to be sincere. ”

Zhu Rong saw that there was still a play, and hurriedly said: "We can hand over all the goods that we plundered in the states and counties before, and all the horses will withdraw from the counties and counties, and the officials and troops will take over." ”

Zhang Lang shook his head, "Not enough!" Glancing at Zhu Rong, "You still have to hand over the hostages." I heard that Meng Huo has a favorite child, and your Vulcan tribe has a so-called holy daughter, who will be the next patriarch. Hand these two men over as hostages, and I will trust your sincerity! ”

Zhu Rong frowned and was silent. Zhang Lang leaned on the backrest for a long time, holding his arms. The scene was very quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Zhu Rong raised his head and said angrily, "You are really a demon!" ”
