Chapter 337: Negotiation
General Meng looked incredulous, as if he thought he had misheard. This man, won't his brain be pumped, right? What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
General Meng stretched out a hand, plucked out his ear, looked like he didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help but repeat: "What are you talking about?" ”
Si Youqi looked at him like this, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly. He frowned, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, but at the same time repeating his words.
"I mean, as long as you're willing to give way and let us in, we can consider letting you go. After all, how many troops you have in the city at present, this prince still knows, don't think that this prince doesn't know, what are you calculating. Don't think about it, the emperor is far away, and your emperor will not send troops here at this moment. Even if it comes, it's too late. ”
Si Youqi looked like I had seen through you, and when he said this, he still had a smug look on his face.
General Meng looked at him like this, and he also had a heart in his heart. It seems that it is rumored that the prince of Si Youqi has an arrogant personality, and when I see it today, the rumors are true. He's really arrogant, and he's a nuisance.
General Meng smiled coldly, and then said: "How do you make General Ben believe that if General Ben gives way, you will definitely let us go?" Will there be such a good thing in this world? ”
The soldiers behind General Meng couldn't help but have a trace of doubt when they heard the words of their own general, could it be that their general would really give way? But they always felt that what this Si Yuqi said was not credible.
What's more, even if they give way, they are saving their own lives. But if the enemy army is allowed to attack it, what will happen to all the innocent people in those cities inside? They have never experienced rebellion and life and death, they are just living and working in peace there, and what have they done wrong?
If they do do do this, they are tantamount to being traitors. After all, as soldiers guarding the frontier, they were supposed to protect the people in the city.
Although the soldiers had a trace of doubt in their hearts, they did not open their mouths. They still chose to believe that the great general would not do such a thing.
But Si Youqi and they obviously didn't think so, and when they heard General Meng say this, Si Youqi and Jos even thought that this matter was negotiable.
After all, it is rumored that General Meng has a very bad temper, so his attitude is very bad, and they feel that it is just the same as the rumors. But they didn't think he was sarcastic.
Si Youqi also smiled slightly, but his smile looked so cold.
"As long as General Meng is willing to give way, this prince will naturally mean what he says. After all, in front of the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Siyou Kingdom, as well as so many soldiers in the Tianli Kingdom, this prince naturally would not slap himself in the face. Brothers, you say, "Don't you?" In the latter sentence, Si Youqi raised his voice.
A large group of soldiers behind him, including those behind Jos, all shouted in response to what he said, "Yes-" with a single word, and their voices bloomed like firecrackers in this otherwise quiet night, making it impossible not to pay attention.
General Meng, who was on the other side, was obviously not intimidated by the overwhelming momentum of these soldiers. Joke, as the general of Zhenguo, he had never seen any scene back then, and it was too naïve to want to blackmail him just because of such a mere prince.
"Since Prince Si has said this, and he has brought so many soldiers over today, will it seem a little out of place if General Ben does not obey his orders?"
"General—"
Hearing General Meng say this, several soldiers behind him couldn't help but scream, they didn't expect that the general would actually say such a thing. Could it be that they really do such a thing for their own selfish sake and to protect their own lives?
Lu Fei next to him looked quiet and did not interject. Even when General Meng said such words, their expressions did not change in the slightest. For their own brothers, they naturally know best.
After Si Youqi heard General Meng say this, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes, and then a thick mockery.
It seems that the general of Zhenguo, who leaves the country, is nothing more than that. With just a few words from him, he easily agreed to his conditions, and the rumors were still wrong, this general of the town and country was just a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
But in Si Youqi's opinion, General Meng's approach was obviously what he was willing to see. After all, when you know that your strength is not as good as others, you simply admit defeat, and you can still save one of your lives, why not?
Thinking of this, there was a smile in his eyes, and he was about to speak, "Since that's the case—" but was immediately interrupted by General Meng's next words.
"If Prince Si wants to do this, it is better to step on the corpse of General Ben first, and then go over, if you have the ability. But General Ben thinks that Prince Si doesn't seem to have this ability. If not, there wouldn't be so much nonsense, listening to you chattering here for a long time, General Ben feels a headache! ”
General Meng's words can be said to be unceremoniously, and every sentence between the lines is still provocative, no matter who hears this, I am afraid that they will jump to their feet angrily, not to mention Si Youqi, whose personality is already uncertain.
When Si Youqi heard him say this, his face completely changed.
"What do you say? You dare to be so rude to this prince, don't you know that the troops under this prince can easily set foot on your city? I'll give you a chance, you guys are so ignorant! It seems that you are still too complacent, no wonder you would have fallen out with the Daocheng City Lord in the first place, otherwise, you would not have ended up in the field you are in now. ”
Si Youqi had privately inquired about General Meng and the Daocheng City Lord. Otherwise, he would not have put forward such conditions, after all, the enemy of the enemy may become friends. He didn't expect that this General Meng would be unexpectedly full of a sense of justice.
General Meng didn't pay any attention to what Si Youqi was saying, and the soldiers behind him had already let out bursts of cheers after listening to him. They knew that their own generals would not do such a thing to lose power and humiliate the country.
General Meng snorted coldly and continued: "General Ben doesn't know the people who are good or bad, right, running all the way to other people's doors to reason, are you a fool when General Ben is a fool, or when you yourself are a fool." If it's the latter, you're not wrong, because General Ben thinks so too. However, even if General Ben has an old grudge with the Daocheng City Lord, it is also a matter for the two of us, and it is not the turn of you outsiders to point fingers! ”
"You-" Being insulted like this by one person in front of so many people is already crossing Si Youqi's bottom line. Before he could say anything, Jos, who had been silent next to him, spoke lightly at this moment.
"Since General Meng does not agree with our friendly proposal, then we can only take the step that we least want to take. When the time comes, there will be a lot of offends to General Meng, and I hope you won't be surprised. ”
General Meng glanced at Jos coldly, this man spoke in a set of ways. It's just that he wants to attack, so why bother saying so many beautiful things? He thinks he's a fool and believes everything?
"If you want to make a move, even if you want to make a move, is it possible that the general is still afraid of you? Since you dare to come, you have to think about whether you have the ability to retreat in your entirety. Don't think that we are easy to bully, we can get to this day, it's not a soft persimmon, people can pinch it if they want to! What's more, even if you want to pinch it, it's still far from qualified! ”
General Meng's words were extremely arrogant, as if once the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Si You Kingdom attacked, they would definitely regret it. He looked determined, which originally made Si Youqi and Jos, who were full of confidence, can't help but chuckle in their hearts at this moment.
Could it be that this General Meng really has any tricks? But when they came, they had clearly let the spies investigate, and there was no movement in the imperial city at all.
In this short period of time, they didn't believe that Pei Tianyu would be able to send troops over. Therefore, they dared to bring only 60,000 troops with such confidence.
After all, there are only about 30,000 elite soldiers on the frontier who are still guarding the town, and Daocheng, although they don't know how many troops they have at the moment, they have also heard that Daocheng's troops seem to have borrowed more than half of them. Even if there are more, it is estimated that it will be a tie with them.
Moreover, Si Youqi didn't think that the Daocheng City Lord would be willing to send troops to support General Meng, after all, the bad relationship between the two of them had spread to other countries.
Just like this, Si Youqi can conclude that the two of them can be said to be old and dead. In that case, how could the Daocheng City Lord be willing to help General Meng?
But Si Youqi obviously forgot a very important thing, in the current situation of the country's difficulties, not everyone will be like him, and he will also account for these personal grievances.
Si Youqi and Jos glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes. General Meng, did you really borrow soldiers?
General Meng watched the interaction between the two of them, and knew in his heart that they had probably believed half of what he said. In fact, where does General Meng have any countermeasures? He was just pretending to show them, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
But on this battlefield, sometimes, acting is also very important, in order to be able to confuse the other party and buy yourself more time, that's all.
Jos was silent for a while, and just as Si Youqi was about to think about it again, he opened his mouth and said, "General Meng, you better not lie to people. Now this is a circle, but only us soldiers, no one will come, you don't have to pretend to be garlic here. ”
General Meng listened to Jos's words, and his face couldn't help but sink.
He should have known that this Joss was not so easy to fool.
