Shangguan Xiu received the news that the Guanglin army had decided to defect to his side and launched an attack on the hometown of Jiang Lian's rebels and Di Qing's rebels in Zhendong, forcing the two rebels to withdraw their troops from Zhenxi.

After reading this battle report, Shangguan Xiu's hanging heart fell most, the attack of the Guanglin Army in Zhendong was equivalent to a knife in the back of the Skewen coalition army, and the battle of Zhenxi was also divided into winners and losers, and he no longer needed to worry about the future.

On the second day after Tongyang was captured, at noon, the Ningnan army sent an envoy to Xibu Mountain and invited Shangguan Xiu to come down the mountain to negotiate tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Ningnan army sent another batch of grain to Xibu Mountain, which was not much, but it was enough for the more than 1,000 Feng troops on the mountain to eat for four or five days.

The next day, in the morning, the Ningnan army poured out, lined up a phalanx at the foot of Xibu Mountain, and set up a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain for the two sides to negotiate.

This camp tent was far away from the military formation of the Ningnan army, and it was closer to Xibu Mountain, and the arrangement of the Ningnan army in this way also showed their sincerity in this negotiation.

Shangguan Xiu was invited to go down the mountain, since the other party behaved so politely, he didn't bring too many people, only Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and more than a dozen Feng Jun entourages around him.

In order to avoid suspicion, the soldiers on both sides stood five meters away from the camp tent, and Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei walked into the camp tent.

At this time, the generals of the Ningnan Army had all sat on the left side of the camp tent, and the positions on the right side of the camp tent were empty, which was obviously reserved for Shangguan Xiu. The latest chapter of the Black Rock Pavilion has been updated

After Shangguan Xiu came in, the eyes of the generals of the Ningnan Army fell on him, Jiang Ting, who was dressed in casual clothes, stood up, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said with a smile: "Presumably Your Excellency is Lord Shangguan, disrespectful and disrespectful, Lord Shangguan, please take a seat!"

Shangguan Xiu bowed back, his eyes swept over Jiang Ting, and then looked at the generals present, he smiled indifferently, walked to the vacant seat on the right side of the tent, and sat down slowly.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei stood behind him, holding the handle of the knife at their waists with one hand, and their eyes swept over the people opposite.

"Lord Shangguan......" After Jiang Ting sat down, he had just opened his mouth to speak, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

"Ah, in Xia Jiang Ting, it is a strategist under the general. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Jiang Ting. ”

Jiang Ting smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Yesterday, our army has transported a batch of military rations to Xibu Mountain in accordance with the request of Lord Shangguan, I wonder if Lord Shangguan is still satisfied with this?"

Shangguan Xiu said indifferently: "Transporting grain is just one of the conditions I proposed, Mr. Jiang Ting will never forget my other condition, right?"

Igor, who was sitting next to Jiang Ting, said in a deep voice: "We can't decide on such a big matter as withdrawing the army, we need to know Peng Shuai, and when Peng Shuai makes a decision, Lord Shangguan only gives us a two-day deadline, which is too difficult for a strong man!"

Shangguan Xiu looked at Igor curiously, looking at the position he was sitting in, he must have a high status in the Ningnan Army. Seeing Shangguan Xiu's scrutinizing gaze at him, Igor arched his hand and said, "In Xia Naihaotian, the deputy general of the Seventh Legion, Igor." ”

Hearing his words, Shangguan Xiu nodded quietly and asked with a smile: "You think two days is difficult for me to be a strong man, so do you think a few days is appropriate?"

Igor looked at Jiang Ting and Ling Xue beside him, and glanced at the latter. Ling Xue understood, he leaned over and said, "Under the deputy general of the Seventh Legion, Ling Xue." We have already shown our sincerity in transporting military rations to Xibu Mountain this time, shouldn't Lord Shangguan also show your sincerity?"

"General Ling means ......"

"Lord Shangguan releases our general first, and we guarantee with the reputation of the Haotian Army that as long as Lord Shangguan releases our general, we can withdraw our troops without delay!" Ling Xue said solemnly.

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, then laughed on his back, and said: "Reputation? The reputation of your army is worthless in my eyes, and your army's guarantee is not credible. ”

Ling Xue's face changed, and she said in a deep voice, "If Lord Shangguan says so, he will have no sincerity to negotiate with us!"

Shangguan Xiu sneered and said: "Sincerity needs to be exchanged for practical actions! Since you have delivered grain to us according to my conditions, I can also extend the two-day period to five days, and if your army does not withdraw after five days, don't blame my men for being ruthless." As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to go out. Seeing this, Jiang Ting immediately stood up, waved his hand to Shangguan Xiu again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Shangguan, please stay, let's discuss this matter slowly!" As he spoke, he turned back to Igor and Ling Xue Lian to wink.

Igor and Ling Xue sighed secretly in their hearts, and stood up helplessly, the former arched his hand to Shangguan Xiu and said, "It is precisely because everyone has differences that we need to sit down and negotiate, how can Lord Shangguan just say go?"

Ling Xue continued: "If Lord Shangguan really kills our general, it will only force us to fight to the death and attack Xibu Mountain with all our might, I think going that far, it will not be beneficial to either of us!"

Shangguan Xiu stood up and sat back again, looking at the people opposite with a smile, he didn't think that there was anything worth discussing in this matter, Ning Nannan refused to withdraw the army, but he wanted to release the people first, it was impossible at all.

He said slowly: "My conditions will not change, your army will withdraw to the border, I will release people here, your army will not withdraw, I can't let people go first, I don't know what else you want to talk to me?"

Jiang Ting rubbed his hands and laughed dryly: "If we really withdraw our troops first, and Lord Shangguan refuses to release them, won't we become fools who are teased by others?"

Shangguan Xiu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "You can't believe my promise, and I can't believe your promise, it seems that we really only have the one left to fight to the death." ”

Jiang Ting's head shook like a rattle, waved his hand and said, "Let's withdraw our troops for a hundred miles first to show our sincerity, and then Lord Shangguan releases our general, okay?"

"Five hundred miles. Shangguan Xiu answered.

"Five hundred miles......? Lord Shangguan, this is again difficult for the strongman, two hundred miles, two hundred miles behind our army, this is already the limit that our soldiers can accept. ”

"Three hundred miles, this is my bottom line, and also, the baggage of your army is temporarily detained in Xibu Mountain, and when the main force of your army is withdrawn to the border, you can send people to accept it. ”

"This is simply unreasonable!" Igor slapped the case with a face full of anger, not only did he want to withdraw his troops, but also leave his baggage in Xibu Mountain, Shangguan Xiu's request was too deceitful.

Jiang Ting turned his head and glared at him, suggesting that he should not forget what the main purpose of this negotiation was, and that it was not the time to turn against Shangguan Xiu.

Seeing Jiang Ting's warning eyes, Igor gritted his teeth secretly, and after a while, he sat back angrily, his head turned away, and he didn't bother to look at Shangguan Xiu again.

Ling Xue asked, "What does Lord Shangguan mean that you want our army to leave all the trebuchets in Xibu Mountain?"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "This is to prevent your army from going back on its word, only if your army is willing to leave a stone thrower and other baggage, can it show the sincerity of your army, and I can also rest assured that General Tong will be released boldly." ”

Ling Xue reminded word by word: "Our side has no less than a hundred stone throwers!"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I haven't taken the burden of your army into account yet, we are just temporarily helping your army keep it, I have just made it very clear that as long as your army withdraws to the border, you can send a small group of soldiers to Xibu Mountain to recover these burdens." ”

"Being detained by your Wind Army, doesn't it mean that our Haotian Army is defeated?"

"Isn't it?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.

"You ......" Ling Xue was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at Shangguan Xiu angrily, speechless for a while.

The two sides began to engage in a tug-of-war over the details of the negotiations. The Ningnan army under the mountain was looking at the camp tent with a blank eye, and when the two sides came up with a result of the negotiation, how could the wind army on Xibu Mountain not be like this. People gathered at the edge of the mountaintop, craned their necks and poked their heads out to look down. Xu Rui was also in the crowd, he pulled out the saber under his ribs, as long as the camp tent under the mountain was slightly wrong, he could immediately lead his brothers down the mountain to rescue Shangguanxiu.

When the attention of the wind army was attracted by the negotiation at the bottom of the mountain, a group of people quietly walked out of a small courtyard on the east side of the mountaintop, all of whom were dressed in civilian clothes, and after leaving the courtyard gate, they looked around one by one.

They are the people of the Fu family's grain store headed by Fu Cong and Fu Xinyue, brothers and sisters.

The Ningnan army came to attack Xibu Mountain in a big way, and the people of the Fu family grain store were also trapped on the mountain, but they were all ordinary people and did not participate in the battle between the two sides.

A group of more than ten of them walked out of the small courtyard silently and went straight to Shangguanxiu's residence. It was where Tong Yang was held.

The forces of the wind army are all arranged on the edge around the top of the mountain, and the central area of the top of the mountain is not strictly guarded, and the people are protected against the sneak attack of the enemy under the mountain, where do they think that there will be changes in their own interior?

They were cautious along the way, hiding and hiding, and came to the vicinity of Shangguan Xiu's residence, first hiding in a hidden place, and then looking over, there were only two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the courtyard. Fu Cong and Fu Xinyue watched for a moment, then both retracted their heads and gestured a few times to the subordinates behind them.

People understood and nodded their heads. Then, Fu Cong and Fu Xinyue both stood up, straightened their clothes, walked out, and went straight to Shangguan Xiu's residence.

When the two of them came closer, the two soldiers stretched out their hands and asked, "Is there something wrong with the two of you?"

Fu Cong and Fu Xinyue smiled and said, "We are here to bid farewell to the adults! We see that there has been no war recently, and we have lived in the mountains long enough, and now it is time to go home." ”

The two soldiers first nodded, then shook their heads, and reminded kindly: "It's just a truce now, the Ningnan army has not retreated, you go down the mountain and go home now, I'm afraid that there will be danger!"
