……

In the early morning of the third day, Lu Yi crossed the river in a small boat with two guards.

When he learned about it, he immediately picked up 300 people and came to the riverside.

Without waiting for him to speak, Lu Yi first asked, "Is the other side of the strait a brutal general?" In the envoy of the Han army, if there is something important to see General Diao, please ask the general to come out and speak. ”

Seeing Lu Yi on the river, he immediately shouted: "Dongyi dog thief, I'm worried about waiting for you to cramp and pull out your bones, I don't want you to come to the door by yourself!" ”

After finishing speaking, the bows and crossbows were raised, wanting to shoot Lu Yi into a hedgehog.

Lu Yi smiled slightly: "General Diao, do you really want to kill you?" The two armies are fighting each other, not to mention that the reason why they are coming down today is to welcome the general back to the south bank, and the general really wants to continue the fierce battle? ”

Diao Mantu: "What are you talking about, you can only hate me for being a treacherous trick against you, otherwise you will end up like this." ”

Lu Yi sighed: "General Diao, I just want to establish trade with your country when I come across the ocean, but the monarch of your country humiliates my envoy and has no choice but to lead troops to fight without permission.

General Diao is an immortal talent, and has a close relationship with the DPRK and China, my general said, as long as the general can write a letter, the court will explain the interests of the relationship, and promote the friendship between the two countries.

The camp on the south bank must be returned in its entirety, wouldn't this be better than the general's current situation? ”

Diao Mantu frowned and glanced at Ma Zun on the side.

Ma Zun hurriedly said: "General Diao, this must be a trick of Dongyi, don't be gullible." ”

Diao Mantu nodded and replied loudly, "How can I believe your words? ”

Lu Yi took out the letter in his arms: "There is a letter from the general's family here, can the general take a look?" ”

"Huh?" Diao Mantu was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Traitor, you dare to touch my family, you ......"

Lu Yi directly interrupted his words: "The general is angry, now that the generals are trapped on the north bank, the general of my family will take care of the general's family in order to avoid the general's family being killed, and there is absolutely no intention of overstepping, and I also ask the general to relax." ”

When he heard it, he suddenly lost his proportions.

He was already a person with no ambitions, and he only knew how to be greedy for pleasure every day, and now that his family fell into the hands of the Han army, he couldn't help but shake his heart to cross the shore.

Seeing this, Ma Zun hurriedly persuaded: "The general must not be trusted by his own people, in case the letter is false, tempting me to cross the river and attack halfway, we can take a break from the big thing." ”

"What if it's true?" Diao Mantu asked rhetorically, "I can't risk my wife and children." ”

Then he said in a loud voice: "Please come ashore and speak!" ”

Lu Yi arched his hand and said: "Since it is an invitation from the general, how can there be a refusal in the future." ”

So saying, he ordered the boatman to dock and jumped onto the shore.

As soon as he landed ashore, Diao Mantu greeted him, took the letter in Lu Yi's hand and read it.

This letter was written by his favorite concubine in the twenty-third room, and the letter said that he was all right, and he only hoped that Xianggong would be reunited with his family as soon as possible.

Waiting for Lu Yi to take out the jade pendant of the concubine again, he already believed in the fact that the family had fallen into the hands of the Han army.

He asked Lu Yi: "As long as I go to the imperial court, your general is really willing to let my family go and hand over the camp on the south bank to me again?" ”

Lu Yi pointed to the river behind him: "I am willing to swear by this river, and there is no intention of deception." ”

Diao Mantu nodded: "Okay, please rest the envoy for the time being, let me think about it carefully, and give you an answer tomorrow." ”

……

Late at night, after settling down with Lu Yi, Diao Mantu called Ma Zun to discuss.

As soon as he heard that he had decided to raise troops back to the south bank, Ma Zun hurriedly said: "General, this is a treacherous plan of Dongyi, how can it be tricked?" ”

Diao Mantu said: "Deputy General Ma, it was you who said that you were going to cross the river to fight back, and now people are willing to give back the south bank, why are you not happy?" ”

Ma Zundao: "At this time and that time, Dongyi sent an envoy to deceive us and others to return to the camp, we must have been prepared, think about it carefully, as long as the 30,000 troops in the general's hands are not lost,

The river transport has never really been controlled by Dongyi, and there is still room for turnaround, but if you cross the river and return to the south bank, it will really be like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger. ”

Diao Mantu: "People all point to the river as an oath, how can they be untrustworthy?" ”

Ma Zun hurriedly said: "General! How to be credulous in the words of the enemy? Now that the war has begun, the words of faith and the battlefield are the most useless, when the quick killing comes, and then take the north as the best policy! ”

Diao Rude Tu: "In this way, my wife doesn't care about it when he is young?" Where will the food come from? ”

Ma Zun: "There is surplus grain in all the counties through which the north goes, which is enough for the army to go to Beijing, and then rush south with the imperial army. ”

When he heard this, he sighed: "But my little family will definitely die." ”

Ma Zundao: "For the general, he should be informal, how can the general be attached to his wife and children at home and ignore the country's society?" ”

After thinking about it again and again, he finally sighed: "That's it, let's believe that once Dongyi comes, I am already guilty of losing the green camp on the south bank, if I can't regain control of the river transportation, the court will definitely condemn it, even my sister can't excuse it." ”

Ma Zun cried: "General, how can there be a reason for a sheep to enter the tiger's mouth, when the north is the best policy, no matter how bad it is, it should also be based on the north bank, and the soldiers and horses should be strong, and Dongyi will confront Dongyi for life and death......."

Diao Mantu: "I have made up my mind, you have to persuade again, tell Lu Yi, I am willing to accept his proposal, write to the court in person, and order him to send a ship." ”

Ma Zun sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then got up and left the camp.

The next day, Diao Mantu personally greeted Lu Yi and said: "Lu envoy, please go back and tell the three generals that as long as I return the green camp on the south bank and my family, I will definitely be the court of letters." ”

Lu Yi replied: "Please General Diao rest here for a few days, in three days, there will be 200 boats parked in the middle of the river, and the general can only lead the troops back to the camp, and there is no false word." ”

Diao Mantu: "Okay, good, hahaha, Lu Envoy, now that it's on the shore, I won't send it." ”

Lu Yi: "General Diao stays." ”

After speaking, Lu Yi left by boat.

As soon as Lu Yi left, Ma Zun came to persuade again: "General Diao really agreed?" What if Dongyi hits halfway? ”

Diao Mantu said: "I will order the soldiers to take more precautions, and my southern army knows more about water, so I will attack halfway?" Hehe......"

Then he explained: "When the boat returns to the south bank, how can I really go to the court?" This is just a stopgap measure, and the general should not be worried. ”

Ma Zun was speechless, and there seemed to be no problem when he thought about it carefully, so he didn't ask anymore.

……

In the camp on the south bank, Lu Yi returned as scheduled, and Lu Ziming personally greeted him: "Lu Yi, how is this matter?" ”

Lu Yi said with a smile: "The brutal plan is just a puppet, and his subordinates will teach him to lose every inch in a few words, and he is directly willing to lead the troops to cross the river, and General Lu only needs to drive the boat to the middle of the river." ”

Lu Ziming frowned: "The barbaric plan has not been suspicious? ”

Lu Yi: "Even if you are suspicious, after crossing the river, you can take it at will." ”

Lu Ziming nodded heavily, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army, withdraw ten miles from the southern camp, dig up the earth and set up an ambush!" ”
