Early the next morning, Linghu Yanbao sent someone to send the harvest book of Fancheng personnel and materials that had been counted overnight to the camp, and Li Tai also read the book with great expectations, but the result was a big disappointment.

Originally, in his opinion, Nanliang has been peaceful for a long time since Xiao Bodhisattva came to power, and there is little internal friction, even if there is any foreign war, it does not occur in Jianghan, and Fancheng, as a northern city of Han, must also have rich savings.

However, Fancheng's arsenal and granaries were not much saved, and other types of materials were almost none. Originally, he suspected that Liu Fanggui, the guard, had stolen himself and transferred the materials in the city to other places, but after interrogating a number of soldiers and civilians in the city, he learned that the savings in the city had been transported back to Xiangyang before the war, and even the rations of the defenders needed to be sent by Xiangyang every three days.

The two cities of Xiangfan have always had the evaluation of "Xiangyang of iron and Fancheng of Paper Lake", Fancheng has always been known for being unbreakable, and it is understandable that there was such a scheduling arrangement before the war.

But for the soldiers defending the city, guarding a city with no material reserves is naturally insecure, especially when Xiangyang has a bad attitude towards the guards here, and even has a lot of malice, it makes Fancheng become a rootless tree that cannot be attached.

Although the material harvest is not much, it is also considerable. There are nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and there are not many war losses and escapes, and most of them are settled in the city to accept the reorganization, which is naturally a huge gain.

In addition, there are nearly 20 boats of all sizes moored at the wharf in the south of the city, which is also quite impressive. In particular, the city of Fancheng itself has been handed over intact, and if it continues to attack Xiangyang accordingly, it is undoubtedly the best base for advancement.

The heroes of Jingzhou are extremely excited to take Fancheng, they have lived in this township for generations, and they have been facing off with the Liang people for a long time, and they have not yet had Wei generals to break through to this step in their memory. So they rushed into Fancheng one after another, standing on the city wall and looking at the Han River in front of them and Xiangyang separated by a water, they couldn't help but be proud and look forward to the light.

Xiangyang reacted quickly, and in the morning, another envoy ship arrived on the north shore, and Li Qujian stayed in Xiangyang to accompany his lord Li Xiao, and only brought back his own letters and tokens to confirm the truth of the matter to Li Tai.

Although I knew yesterday that this matter should not be fake, and the so-called confirmation of the dispatch was just a measure to delay the troops, but after seeing Li Quji's message, Li Tai became more calm in his heart.

He has lived in this world for several years with this identity, and naturally he also recognizes the relationship with his family, and looks forward to a family reunion in his heart. However, looking at the meaning of Li Quji's message, if this wish is to be realized, it must go through some twists and turns.

However, with the surrender of Fancheng, Li Tai's advantage has increased greatly, so he naturally has to take the initiative to attack and cannot be led by the nose by the other party.

In order to avoid Xiao Jing thinking that pinching his Lao Tzu would make a lion open his mouth, Li Tai did not receive the Xiangyang envoy in person, but ordered Changshi Linghu Yanbao to come forward on his behalf, once again reiterating the fundamental reason for this military dispatch, and asked Xiangyang to apologize for the offense of the previous troops.

If Xiangyang still refuses to take a position on this, then all other issues will not be discussed. After all, Li Tai is also a big child now, and it is not a big deal not to see Lao Tzu for three days or two days, it depends on whether Xiangyang can afford to drag it out.

When the envoy relayed this situation to Xiangyang, although King Yueyang was still embarrassed on his face, he was actually a little relieved in his heart.

At this point in the battle, the enemy's troops have already pointed the Hanging Han Water directly at Xiangyang, and there are unstable factors such as Jingzhao Du clan in the territory, he is already anxious, but the other side is still only repeating the previous request, which should be regarded as extremely lenient.

However, the Northern Expedition of the King of Poyang is the intention of the imperial court after all, and if he crosses the imperial court to apologize to the other side, he will inevitably be impeached.

In view of the current precarious situation and the tough attitude of the other side, the king of Yueyang convened the governor of the state government to discuss whether to fight or make peace with the strong clans in the governance, and finally reached a consensus on peace, with Du An of the Jingzhao Du clan and Liu Zhuang, the clan brother of the Liu clan and Liu Zhongli from Hedong, as envoys, and went to Hanbei to make amends.

The reason why these wealthy clansmen are used as envoys is, of course, to share the political risks contained in this matter. And these powerful sects in the territory were willing to obey the arrangement of King Yueyang, and naturally they were also forced by the imminent danger of the army, and King Yueyang could be regarded as having initially reached the intention of external enemies to balance the strong sects in the country

Fig.

When this team of envoys arrived in northern Hanbei, Li Tai showed up to meet them in the camp north of Fancheng, and gathered the Jingzhou group in a large tent, and accepted the apology from Xiangyang in public.

The people of Jingzhou are naturally excited when they watch this scene, and they have been facing each other for many years, in addition to the dispute of interests, there is more of a battle of will, but as long as they can overpower the other party, their hearts will be full of satisfaction.

They thought that there might not be any results in this battle, but they didn't expect to be able to conquer the city and drink Ma Han water, forcing Xiangyang to send an envoy to apologize. Even if there is no other gain, this alone is enough to boast of the township after the withdrawal of troops!

"Make the king mighty! Wan Sheng!"

I don't know who in the tent raised such a head, and soon someone shouted in the same way. At first, it was only inside the big tent, and then it expanded to the military camp outside the tent, and even resounded throughout the north bank of the Han River.

When Li Tai heard the shouts of the soldiers, his heart couldn't help but be full of pride, and then he saw that the two messengers, including Cai Dabao, who was led to the tent together, were all depressed, so he smiled at them and said, "The two sides can stop the war and repair, and the power of the monarchs is also. Please tell King Xiao of your mansion after you return, I know that I should not judge King Xiao alone, but since I entered the town, I have seen that the people are panicked and the people are uneasy, if I don't rise up, I am afraid that I will die, and I have to take risks for this......

When a few people heard this, their expressions became even more bitter, you might as well simply say that it is better to see us unpleasant and come up and kick us than to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

"Fortunately, King Xiao is benevolent and willing to give up his past grievances and rebuild border peace, and I am also deeply moved, so I will stop the army and not go forward, so as not to disturb the people of Hannan. Although there is a rift in the past, it will be renewed in the future."

As he spoke, Li Tai stood up, took off his waist saber and handed it to Cai Dabao, and then said: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, but if the world is not out of harmony, who will be angry and fight with their lives? King Xiao has a graceful body and a bigger mind, please serve this murder weapon in front of the king, and use the king's peaceful spirit to influence this fierce iron stubborn soldier."

Seeing this, Cai Dabao hurriedly raised his hands and held the saber, and replied, "The lower official will definitely convey Jun Yayi's intention to the king, hoping that the two sides will talk about it from now on, and there will be no more gold and iron resonance!"

After the business was over, the envoy Du An came forward again to ask for a discussion about his captured brother Du You'an, and looking at his anxious expression, it could be seen that he was also a brotherhood.

This kind of trivial matter is not worth Li Tai's appearance, his own father is still detained in Xiangyang, so he simply arranged for a protégé to discuss with him about the redemption of the captive, and he himself is discussing with Cai Dabao how to redeem his father.

"First of all, I would like to thank King Xiao and Cai Senjun for their kindness to the family, the former family and country are uneasy, so that the father and son are separated from the world, and I am burdened with unfilial hatred. This kindness is profound, and it is difficult to repay the family!"

After everyone retreated, Li Tai stood up and gave Cai Dabao a deep look.

Seeing this, Cai Dabao hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and returned the salute in a hurry: "Make the gentleman's words heavy, make the dignity of the demeanor and the knowledge rich, although I am adrift in the rivers and lakes, I have not lost my ambition, I am fortunate to have benefited a lot from the tour. Although the food and drink are good, but they have the light, and I really dare not boast of caring for them."

"Cai doesn't have to be humble when he joins the army, and Jiajun has also taught me that kindness will be repaid. Today, in the midst of the line, the scheduling of things is not calm, but the great grace cannot be frugal. Now there is a gift book, please smile. After returning to the town, the re-dispatch will be given here within the month, if the silk is short, Cai can join the army in vain and laugh at me for being ungrateful!"

Li Tai took out a gift list that had been written long ago and handed it directly to Cai Dabao, but Cai Dabao pushed it again and again but refused to accept it, and didn't even look at it: "Let the king know that he is grateful and filial piety is touching, but I am not in the right thing to marry Ling Zun, and I accept it rashly, and I have a loss of affection......

Seeing Cai Dabao's reaction, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that Nanliang was not all mercenary, but he still took the brazier and put the gift list into it, and said, "God knows about this! Cai joined the army and was high-spirited, I shouldn't be defiled with vulgar things. But the world has been uneasy for a long time, there is no shortage of chaos between the north and the south, and the family is all lucky, and I don't know how many people have died in a foreign land.

If Cai Senjun is really unwilling to accept goods in private households, then I take the liberty of imploring Cai Senjun to use this gift to build a building in Xiangyang City, and help the lost hometown

As a guest of residence, I also built a building in the city to respond, is Cai willing to join the army?"

Cai Dabao saw that Li Tai's enthusiasm was difficult, and the proposed thing was also very meaningful, and after a little muttering, he nodded and said: "Let the king have a grand vision and a touching righteousness, and he has to be given a plan and attached to Jiwei, and he is extremely honored, and he dares to refuse?"

Hearing Cai Dabao's promise, Li Tai was also quite happy.

He is already a layman, thinking about fame and fortune, the letter knows that Cai Dabao takes a lot of care of his Lao Tzu, and if he does not express the favor of others, he will feel uncomfortable, since Cai Dabao is not greedy for money, he will simply help him become famous.

By the way, I will use this incident to reconcile the north-south contradictions between Jiang and Han, so that people will no longer regard each other as enemies of life and death. As for him building such a building in the city, of course, it was also to facilitate the recruitment of displaced talents in Nanliang in the future.

"King Yueyang is the grandson of the royal family, and things in the world must not be required of me, but I must not be unexpressed. All the cities that had been taken before, such as Xia Di and Fancheng, will be returned, and the land will be ruled by the whole king!"

Li Tai also talked about the repayment to Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, who was also very heroic, he had no intention of stationing troops here, and he first proposed to return the lost land without waiting for the other party to speak, and also buried a hook: "To get here, to return here, is rude." This attack has made me see that your mansion is full of malaise, and the township is stubborn and dares to be arrogant and rude and seek to chase down the famous king!

If King Xiao wants to be pacified, I am willing to send troops to help him and repay his former kindness. The thief will be returned immediately, and he will not linger to disturb, please Cai must tell this situation after returning from joining the army, and I will wait for the messenger of King Xiao in the north."
