Lu Qi hurriedly stepped forward: "General Chen! It is true that we were at fault in the past, but now that the king has put those ministers to death, and General Rouille has also been captured by you, we have never come to ask for anyone, and now we are willing to give such compensation, can't you give face! ”

"Give face? Who do you let give face? ”

Chen Li plucked out his ears and said casually: "The face is given to you by yourself, and you dare to sue for peace with this posture after losing the battle, but it is only a few thousand taels of gold, can you buy back the life of my dead brother!" Besides, I don't lack this bit of silver, so keep it for your king's pleasure! Finally, I would like to advise you, get out of the Ming territory immediately, otherwise my tens of thousands of defenders are not vegetarians! ”

After saying that, he seemed to be a little more angry, and Chen Liyi waved his hand, "Collect the troops and return to the city!" ”

The defenders in the array turned around and walked towards the city, and Lu Qi said unwillingly angrily behind him: "General Chen, you must know better than me why Dacheng will send troops, if it weren't for you to deduct trade first, how could we send troops, even if you blame Da Ming's fault, but you can't cover up the truth!" ”

Chen Li didn't listen to the sermon, and without looking back, he followed the defenders into the border city, and as the towering gate slowly closed, the stirred wind and sand blew Lu Qi's face.

"Damn it!!" Luchi gasped and slammed his fist into the saddle in exasperation, looking up at the flag-flapping wall, his anger rising.

After returning to the city, the adjutant general caught up and asked: "General, they only brought more than 100 people with them this time, why don't they just exterminate them to prevent future troubles?" ”

Chen Li glanced at him and said lightly: "It is said that the negotiations between the two countries are not cut, and their request for peace is also a kind of negotiation, my Daming is a decent big country, naturally I can't do this kind of embarrassing thing for the saint, I went back to the house to prepare lunch, and scolded that kid A little hungry." ”

"Yes!"

Just when Chen Li arrived at the mansion in the city, the soldiers guarding the door stepped forward to report that someone was coming.

"Who's coming?"

"Back to the general, he said that his surname is Gu, and he has been arranged in the living room at the moment."

"Surname Gu?" Chen Li thought about it, and then laughed, "If I guess correctly, it should be that kid, I haven't seen each other for two months, I don't know how this guy is doing." ”

Then he went to the living room in a hurry, and when he saw the familiar figure, Chen Li stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "What a rare guest!" When did Brother Gu come to the border city? Why don't you notify me! ”

Gu Jinfeng stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen General Chen." ”

"Hey, what are you doing with me with these false rituals, sit down quickly!"

Chen Li is as bold as Zhang Mo, maybe everyone who is a soldier is like this, but there is still a trace of care and insight in his boldness, otherwise Xu Yu would not have handed over the border city to him to take care of.

After the two sat down, the attendant brought hot tea, and Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but ask when he saw that the armor on his body had not yet faded: "General, when I passed by the market this time, I saw the defenders rushing towards the city gate, and I heard that the Dacheng army was attacking again......"

Chen Li took a few sips of tea, and then waved his hand when there was some heating in his stomach: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the people, if Dacheng wants to attack me again, can I still sit here and drink tea?" ”

Gu Jinfeng smiled: "What the general said is true, but look at your armor is still wearing, but what happened?" ”

Even if Chen Lidang waved away the attendants, he ordered someone to close the door before he said slowly: "Just a quarter of an hour ago, a Dacheng army of more than 100 people came down from the city gate, I was a little puzzled, I originally thought that they had another army hiding in the dark and preparing for a sneak attack, but the sand at the gate of the city couldn't hide people, plus the person explained the intention, so I ordered the troops to go out and have a look." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a hint of banter on his face: "Guess what those guys are doing here?" ”

Gu Jinfeng pondered for a moment: "If I guessed correctly, I should have come to seek peace?" ”

"Wonderful!"

Chen Lidang patted the table and said with a look of appreciation: "You guess it's right, this group of guys came to ask for peace, and they said that they were willing to give thousands of cattle and sheep and three thousand taels of gold to make up for their previous mistakes, tsk, you said that this person wants to face the tree and bark, if he is shameless, he can really be invincible in the world!" ”

"The general refused?"

Chen Li's face was taken for granted: "I naturally refused, if it weren't for the fact that the broken place is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will inevitably take some effort to take it, where is there still a need for this Dacheng to exist?" I really take myself seriously! ”

"What the general said is, but although this Dacheng is not a few taels of meat, it is better than in a vast area, and there are many kinds of treasures that the Ming Dynasty does not have, do not hide it from the general, I came here to go to Dacheng for trade on the order of the saint."

"What?!" Chen Li's face was incredulous: "I heard it right, right?" Is this really holy? ”

Gu Jinfeng nodded with a smile, and analyzed it again: "But this Dacheng suddenly sent someone to sue for peace, there must be something strange in this, I don't know if the general has sent spies to investigate?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, since this group of guys came here from time to time to go around, I sent spies to infiltrate the capital of Dacheng, but the information that came back was a long time ago, and it hasn't been transmitted back recently."

As soon as the words fell, the adjutant general's eager voice came from outside the door: "General, there is a reply!" ”

Chen Li laughed: "You see that Cao Cao will arrive when Cao Cao arrives, quickly bring it in and I'll take a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Li took the straight tube in the adjutant general's hand and took out the small note inside, and after reading it, his face was suddenly shocked: "No wonder this Dacheng is going to send someone to sue for peace, it turns out that there is an epidemic in this capital." ”

The deputy general and Gu Jinfeng were both slightly stunned: "Epidemic? ”

"Yes, the reply said that the number of infected people is already very large, and because it is incurable for a long time, the first batch of patients has died a lot."

As soon as he heard the word epidemic, Gu Jinfeng thought a little more in his heart, and continued: "They should not want to seek peace, but to ask for help from the doctor of Daming who wants to cure the epidemic." ”

Chen Li threw the note in his hand into the charcoal basin, looked at the note that was gradually licked and burned by the flames, and sneered: "Dogs can't change their eating, I have long seen that this group of guys is not here to seek peace, they just want to use us, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Gu Jinfeng looked at the secret letter that was burned to ashes, and suddenly felt that this might be a good opportunity.

After talking about this secret letter, Chen Li talked about what Gu Jinfeng said just now, "You just said that you want to go to Dacheng to do trade?" What are you going to do? ”

Gu Jinfeng didn't plan to hide it, so he talked about the deal with Lu Ye, Chen Li nodded again and again after hearing this, and there was a smile on his face: "Or you kid has a lot of methods, since this is allowed by adults, then I will order someone to open the city gate tomorrow to send you out of the city." ”

"Thank you, General, there is another reluctant request."

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were a little more playful: "You don't want to ask me to borrow a doctor, do you?" ”

"General, the Ming people don't say secret words, although Dacheng and Daming have a holiday, but instead of guarding it so vigilantly, it is better to let him convince him to surrender, presumably His Majesty will not dislike Daming's territory and expand it to the north."

"That's a good thing to say!" Chen Li pursed his lips: "Do you know how stubborn this Dacheng royal family is, at the beginning, so many negotiators were sent over, none of them were successful, Brother Gu, it wasn't me who deliberately hit you, the lure threat is basically useless to the royal family, that Dacheng King is like a stone in a pit, it is really stinky and hard!" ”

Gu Jinfeng smiled: "Don't worry, general, I'm not the only one who came this time." ”

Chen Lihu looked at him suspiciously, and finally complied with his request.
