Chapter 260: Peace Talks
After also experiencing a fierce siege battle for most of the day, the Xiqiang rebels were already very tired at this time, Yang Rui did not make much effort to find a flaw in the defense of the opponent's tent, and instructed Zhang Ning to use the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill to attack, and the two left the scene as soon as possible.
Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill was already far away, and the scene was chaotic after the camp was attacked, and the Xiqiang rebels had no time to care about the whereabouts of Yang Rui and Zhang Ning, so the two were able to leave easily.
However, although the Tianling Fire Rain skill is violent, the attack range of 200m*200m is a bit small compared to the camp of the entire Xiqiang rebels, although the fire still has a tendency to spread, the damage caused will also be limited, and after the skill damage, the items that the Xiqiang rebels burst down are obviously unavailable.
The Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill made the Xiqiang rebel camp chaotic for a while, but Yang Rui was still a little uninteresting, so after returning to the city to put Zhang Ning and the others down, Yang Rui took Li Dong and a 5th-order thief leader out of the city, preparing to continue to harass the Xiqiang rebel camp.
Taking advantage of the fact that the riot caused by the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill had not stopped, Yang Rui asked Li Dong to lead more than 40 fifth-order thief leaders to attack and kill on the east side of the rebel camp, and soon cleared many of the rebel 4th-order cavalry patrolling the border area, and cut into the deeper area of the camp. Of course, because Yang Rui himself did not have the skills to hide, he had been hiding in the outskirts of the rebel camp and did not act with Li Dong and others.
"System Prompt: Congratulations on obtaining 1 copy of the mission to exterminate the Xiqiang rebels."
Under the cover of the night, Li Dong and the others were like fish in water, like a sharp knife cut into the tofu block. Keep touching the rebel tents one after another. From the speed of Yang Rui's mission verification, it is not difficult to see the sharpness of Li Dong and his party!
And so on until dawn. Li Dongcai led a group of fifth-order thief leaders out of the camp of the Xiqiang rebels. It took most of the night for Li Dong and the others to gain a lot of money, including skill books, equipment, money and all kinds of sundries, etc., which were completely unavailable, Li Dong had to take the opportunity to abandon the items with lower value, and only kept the skill books above the 3rd level, equipment above the black iron level, more than 1,000 gold coins and some other valuable items.
It is worth mentioning that Li Dong and others actually touched a large area of the camps of the 4th-order cavalry of the Xiqiang rebels, and took these cavalry camps as the focus of the attack. In the end, more than 620 sets of 4th-order cavalry skill books were obtained, which is definitely a big gain!
In addition, Li Dong actually led a group of thieves leaders to take down 6 junior junior generals successively, and obtained 6 sets of basic internal strength mental methods and stunt skill books, which was really a bit unexpected by Yang Rui. Yang Rui was still worried that Li Dong and the others would not be able to deal with it if they encountered junior generals!
After the sky gradually brightened, not long after Yang Rui and Li Dong returned to the city, the envoy of Beigong Boyu arrived.
However, first of all, how to cross the auxiliary river of Ledu City became a problem. Beigong Boyu's envoy came in a carriage, imitating the dress of a Han civil official, and his skills were naturally not as agile as the soldiers of the Xiqiang rebels, and the tools for crossing the river such as simple wooden rafts and wooden sticks were obviously not suitable for him.
Fortunately, the Xiqiang rebel soldiers also knew in advance that the envoy was back. Long before its arrival, several wooden rafts were bundled together to form a large wooden raft. Only then did he reluctantly cross the envoy of Beigong Boyu, but he still looked a little wolf.
"Bold! I am the envoy of General Boyu of the North Palace, how dare you attack me?! It's so rude! And on the eve of the peace talks, he attacked the Wuxiqiang camp."
When this civil official envoy crossed the river, he held his breath, but he didn't expect that after finally crossing the auxiliary river, he was shot by the archers on the gate tower of Ledu City, and he suddenly burst into anger, and he counted Yang Rui and others endlessly, and his eloquence was good.
"Whoosh"
However, it was good that the civil envoy did not shout, and as soon as he shouted, he suddenly ushered in a rain of arrows from the archers on the city wall! These arrows did not threaten the life of the civil envoy, and all of them were shot in front of him, but if the civil envoy did not dodge, he was likely to be shot in the legs and feet, and suffered a slight injury.
So when the arrow came over, the civil envoy also kept retreating, hooking his head and bending his waist, for fear that the arrow would shoot at him, and shouted angrily while retreating, looking very strange. Yang Rui saw this scene at the city gate, and he also felt very funny.
The civil envoy jumped up and down outside the east gate of Ledu City for a while, until he was out of the range of the archers on the city wall, and then he stopped, and at this time the civil envoy was already so tired that he was panting. However, at this time, the civil envoy could also see that the archers defending on the city wall did not want to threaten his life, if it weren't for that, I am afraid he would have been shot into a hedgehog!
can be worthy of the identity of the envoy of Beigong Boyu, this person is not a fool, I saw that his eyes rolled sharply, and he seemed to quickly understand the mystery, and then stroked his beard slightly, and went in the direction of the city gate again, he should have thought of something.
"All the Han generals in the city, I am the envoy of Xiqiang, please meet and talk!"
The civil envoy walked to the city gate while speaking, although the actual content of the expression did not change, but the civil envoy changed to a completely different attitude and rhetoric, took the initiative to call Yang Rui and others "generals", and changed "the messenger of General Beigong Boyu" to "the envoy of Xiqiang"!
When the civil envoy gradually approached, the east gate of Ledu City slowly opened. Seeing this, the civil envoy swaggered into the east gate of Ledu City, and at the same time he was quite complacent, thinking that he knew everything about the style of the Han Dynasty! However, after seeing Yang Rui, he was completely complacent.
"Xiqiang envoy Qi Li has seen the general, please ask the general how to call him?"
After seeing Yang Rui, the civil envoy first reported his identity and title, and the courtesy was also very thoughtful.
"Come on, drag it out and cut it off!"
Yang Rui was originally a little skeptical, but when he saw the attitude of this envoy, he suddenly had a heart. So at the first contact, Yang Rui gave the other party a dismount!
"General! Checkmate! The two armies fought without slashing. This is the rule of the Han Dynasty! Checkmate! General"
The civil envoy Qi Li did not expect Yang Rui to suddenly make such a move. Therefore, without any psychological preparation, Rao is very sure that Yang Rui is just a false shot, but Yang Rui's guards on both sides have already set it up, and he is about to be dragged out, and it is difficult to calm down on anyone, and joke about his nickname!
"The general spares his life! Beg the general to spare his life! ”
So Qi Li really panicked, and he began to be a little speechless. It was only at this time that Yang Rui waved his hand to stop Li Dong and the other two junior generals who were making a move. The Xiqiang envoy was brought back again, and he threw it on the ground with a "bang".
To be honest, Yang Rui was not willing to take the initiative to sabotage this peace talks, and almost all of Yang Rui's means had been used to defend against the 24 rounds of Xiqiang rebels, which barely kept the city of Ledu alive. And this is still due to the arrival of the deadline for defending the city, if he lets go and let the remaining Xiqiang rebels continue to attack the city, Yang Rui will definitely not be able to keep Ledu City!
The first 24 rounds have been like this, and Yang Rui can imagine the ending of Ledu City if the peace talks fail. The reason why Yang Rui forced the other party so much at the beginning was also to try to see if he could get more room for negotiation.
Of course, this also depends mainly on the character of the other emissary. If the one sent by Beigong Boyu was a tough guy, even if Yang Rui persecuted the other party, it wouldn't be too effective. It can even have the opposite effect! Yang Rui also made a temporary gesture after discovering the weakness in his character.
"Thank you so much for the general's grace not to kill!"
Qi Li was still a little trembling. Judging from his appearance, Yang Rui's actions really scared him!
This point was completely unexpected by Yang Rui, the style of the Xiqiang rebels was still very tough, but he didn't expect Beigong Boyu to send a soft persimmon, which made Yang Rui win a lot of initiative.
In fact, Beigong Boyu was a little wronged, but the envoy of the peace talks was carefully selected by Beigong Boyu, because Qili had been dealt with Leng Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, many times before, and belonged to a very scheming person among the Qiang people, Beigong Boyu was relieved to send him over.
"Tell me, when the two families are fighting, what is the purpose of Beigong Boyu sending you here?"
Yang Rui asked quietly. This is also the first time that Yang Rui has officially talked to him after meeting with Qi Li.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
In the face of Yang Rui's strength, Qi Li only had the share of resignation, naturally he knew everything and said everything, and told in detail the content that Beigong Boyu sent him to negotiate, where was there anything to hide, and even the bottom line of the negotiation explained by Beigong Boyu was honestly said.
In this way, it is very easy to do, since Qi Li shook out Beigong Boyu's old bottom, then sign the contract one by one, and directly follow Beigong Boyu's psychological bottom line! Qi Li didn't dare to say anything about this, but in some less important links, Qi Li asked Yang Rui to make some concessions so that he could go back to make a difference.
It turned out that Beigong Boyu mainly put forward three requirements for the peace talks, involving the time, conditions and methods of the armistice between the two sides. Under the pressure of Yang Rui, Qi Li soon reached a complete set of peace talks with him:
"Dahan Dashan Town and Xiqiang peace negotiation agreement:
1. From now on, the forces of Dashan Town and Xiqiang will stop large-scale conflict for 6 game months.
2. The two sides of Dashan Town and Xiqiang need to achieve a cessation of large-scale conflict on the basis of the following conditions:
(1) Dashan Town is allowed to temporarily occupy Ledu City, and 3 functional buildings of Ledu City are opened.
(2) Dashan Town returned the Xiqiang civilian people who had many in Ledu City.
(3) Dashan Town can no longer occupy the rest of Xiqiang's territory for a long time.
(4) Xiqiang cannot restrict other normal rights granted to Lieyang by the system, including taking over the task of clearing the Xiqiang stronghold, etc., but the number of personnel needs to meet the agreement item in point 3
3. The large-scale conflict between Dashan Town and Xiqiang shall cease and be limited to the scale of the battle of more than 2,000 people, and the scale of the battle of less than 2,000 people shall be regarded as a small-scale brawl and shall no longer be within the scope of the restrictions of this agreement"
According to Beigong Boyu's original thoughts, he just took advantage of the fact that the Xiqiang soldiers outside Ledu City had not yet retreated, forcing Yang Rui to make concessions, so as to try his best to formulate an alliance under the city! However, the direction of the peace talks was exactly opposite to his plan, and Yang Rui really took advantage of it. (To be continued......)
