Chapter 852: Anti-Water

From the title, you can see Zheng Xipo's eyesight, the rebellion of Xu and Feng, the invasion of Zhongzhou, in the eyes of King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu, they are rebels, and before the war started, the two were designated as thieves.

On the surface, the two of them don't seem to care, but the actual title of their subordinates still cares a lot, this Zheng Xipo is quite good at sycophancy, others may be pretending, but this person has a heartfelt feeling.

Let Xu Shan be quite useful, because of this, he will send 3,000 men and horses to sit in Changping County, it can be said that in Yong'an County, in addition to the county seat, Xu Shan values this border town the most.

Listening to Zheng Xipo's praise, Xu Shan said softly with a thick smile on his face.

"What Zheng County ordered to do during this time, this commander sees it in his eyes, rest assured, when this matter is dealt with today, this commander will not be able to treat you badly."

"The little one is here, thank you Commander." Zheng Xipo's face showed joy, and he almost kowtowed directly to Xu Shan to express his gratitude.

Just as the two were talking, a moment later, at the end of the road ahead, the herald rushed to report the news.

"Lord Hui Commander, according to the eyeliner, King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu have arrived in the suburbs of Changping County, and they have been received by our people, and they can arrive in about a quarter of an hour at most."

"How many of them came?" Xu Shan asked casually.

"Lord Hui, beside them, there is only one Beishan battalion, about four or five hundred people, and it is still He Xing who leads the team.

Xu Shan nodded, waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately retreated, and the guards of the Beishan battalion were within Xu Shan's reason.

Only He Xing led the team, it is normal, for Xu Shan, no matter how many people King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu brought this time, as long as they stepped into Changping County, they would not be able to leave it no matter what.

In this negotiation, Xu Shan had already made thorough preparations and waited for the other party to enter the game.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, under Xu Shan's gaze, at the end of the road, the figures of Su Ji and Li Chongxiang appeared.

Behind the two of them, the mighty soldiers of the Beishan Battalion followed silently, but they stopped about forty or fifty steps away from Xu Shan.

If a large group of people really came forward, how would this negotiation proceed?

Anyway, under the nose, there is nothing wrong with opening up some distance, even Xu Shan also arranged a group of subordinates in this way, and in doing so, he is also expressing some sincerity.

Just as the location of the negotiation was chosen in the streets of the city, that is the case, after all, King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu both dared to choose the location of the peace negotiation and took the initiative to choose his territory.

If Xu Shan is still cautious, he will inevitably seem a little stingy and insincere.

Su Ji and Li Chongxiang walked over, Xu Shan had a smile on his face, and quickly got up and said with a smile.

"Ah, the two adults can come to the territory of this commander, it makes me feel brilliant, come, please come here."

Su Ji and Li Chongxiang were not polite, they sat down directly, the two looked around, and Su Ji said softly.

"Commander Xu is really bright, and choosing the location in such an open area has made this king insightful."

"By the way, why didn't you see Commander Feng? Don't you dare to see the two of us? ”

"What did the adults say, Commander Feng worked a lot a few days ago for this peace talks, and he was infected with wind and cold, which caused old diseases, please forgive me." Without waiting for Xu Shandao, Chu Qing on the side took over the words and explained.

"Oh, I see." Li Chongxiang nodded slightly.

After a simple greeting, the two did not have politeness, and went directly to the topic, saying directly.

"Commander Xu should also know that the purpose of the peace talks between the two of us, you and I have been facing each other for so long, Zhongzhou is in turmoil, and the people of Zhongzhou are miserable, in order to end the war as soon as possible, I have discussed with His Royal Highness King Yu, as long as you two lead a group of bandits to surrender on their own initiative, after investigating some of the most heinous people, the rest of the people will consider staying alive, what does Commander Xu think?"

Li Chongxiang's straightforwardness made Xu Shan stunned, he thought that most of the peace talks were not smooth, or they were going through the motions, but who would have thought that Li Chongxiang would not even pretend, and he was completely open and honest.

From his words, Xu Shan could hear that the other party had no room for maneuver.

Xu Shan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Since Lord Zhou Mu is so straightforward, this commander has nothing to hide, to be honest, the adult's request, this commander can't do it." ”

"For the two adults, this commander and Xu have discussed, and also gave the two of them a way to live, as long as the two adults can give up resistance and are willing to lead the Zhongzhou soldiers to surrender, this commander guarantees that the two emperors will definitely not kill your adults, maybe they will be entrusted with a heavy task."

"In that case, there's nothing to talk about?" Su Ji raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe, it's not that the commander is unwilling to negotiate peace, it's that the two adults blocked their words from the beginning, is there any sincerity in peace talks?" Xu Shan said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, anyone could feel that the situation between the two sides was tense, and seeing that there was a tense atmosphere as soon as he came, Chu Qing on the side hurriedly spoke.

"Let's dissipate our anger first, and let me say that in the final analysis, this peace talk is for the people of Zhongzhou, and it is also to end the turmoil in Zhongzhou, and it is inevitable that there will be some anger between words."

"You all have your own insistence, these can be understood, in this case, why not put the dispute aside, we can also talk about other things, such as the border between the two sides is not so tight, we can set up a buffer zone, which can be regarded as thinking about the people on both sides."

Chu Qing's timely interjection somewhat eased the tense atmosphere between the two sides, and he basically agreed with what Chu Qing said, just as Chu Qing was about to continue, suddenly, one of his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Chu Qing nodded slightly, signaled his subordinates to retreat, and clasped his fists at both sides.

"Commander Feng also attaches great importance to this peace talks, and specially asked the small one to go over and listen to his opinion, I'm really sorry, the small one will go first, get the news, and definitely return to convey the meaning of Commander Feng."

Chu Qing's words, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang had no opinion, Xu Shan's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, waved his hand, and motioned to a team of subordinates to leave with Chu Qing in the name of protection.

Chu Qing did not refuse, smiled and bowed his hands to the two sides again, and left after a while.

Chu Qing's proposal suspended the tension between the two sides, but as time went by, it was just a stopgap measure and could not solve the substantive problem.

In the end, the two sides still faced Mai Mang, and they didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, even the subordinates behind each other, their palms were already on the handle of the knife, and they had the posture of doing a big job at any time.

In such a tense atmosphere, Xu Shan was still indifferent, his hands were clenched into fists, and he looked tasteless, looking at Su Ji and Li Chongxiang.

"I think this peace talk, the two adults were not sincere at the beginning, and the loss-making commander was quite sincere and willing to talk about it, but unfortunately, it was just a lie in the end."

"In this case, don't blame the commander for being ruthless, since the two adults have come to Changping County, let's stay for a while longer, so that the commander can do his best to be a landlord."

"Hmph, as far as the landlord is friendly, I don't know if Commander Xu has this ability." Li Chongxiang said coldly.

"Yes, then you'll know with a try, brothers, you can come out, let the two adults take a good look at who is today's prisoner."

Xu Shan smiled, and then clapped his hands, and a large number of crossbowmen appeared on the houses around the street.

The arrows that emitted a cold glow were aimed at Su Ji, Li Chongxiang and others, and they could shoot everyone with just one order.

This is Xu Shan's arrangement, as for the bandits behind him, they are just hiding people's eyes.

Compared with the frontal rush, it is better to occupy an important commanding height, to surround it, and to choose the location of the peace talks in the middle of the street, which is this consideration.

No matter how strong the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion behind him are, they will eventually be killed by random arrows under such layers of surrounding.

Su Ji and Li Chongxiang's faces were calm, their eyes looked at the crossbowmen around them, and they said softly.

"That's your means? Who is not sincere in this peace talks, I don't think this king needs to say more. ”

"Huh, sincerity? His Royal Highness King Yu, aren't you the same? Is your invitation really for peace talks? After all, isn't it also buying time for you to recruit new recruits? ”

"Speaking of which, there is not much difference between you and me, the peace talks are just a cover, and they all have their own purposes, but King Yu, you take yourself too seriously, and you dare to set the place of the peace talks on the territory of your command."

"This kind of fat sent to the door, how can this commander not eat it?"

With the appearance of many crossbowmen, Xu Shan no longer concealed his purpose, and even directly pointed out the true purpose of Su Ji and Li Chongxiang.

Looking at Xu Shan with a smug look on his face, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang were noncommittal, did not deny it, and after a moment of silence, Li Chongxiang said.

"Hehe, it's worthy of Commander Xu, I still see the purpose of Benzhou, but Benzhou wants to make a bet with Commander Xu, believe it or not, King Yu and I will leave Changping safe and sound, and you will become our prisoner."

Li Chongxiang's words made Xu Shan couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, Lord Zhou Mu is really joking, death is on the verge of death, and he is so sure, okay, since this is the case, let's see who is the real prisoner." ”

"Brothers, except for King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu, the rest of the people are not polite, and they are all killed."

Xu Shan sneered and gave the order directly.

The crossbowmen on both sides of the house did not hesitate and released their arrows one after another, and Xu Shan showed a playful look on his face, and a little expectant look in his eyes.

He seemed to be able to see the most hated He Xing and other soldiers of the Beishan Battalion, dying in front of his eyes, no matter how strong the Beishan Battalion was, he still died in his plan after all.

Just when Xu Shan fantasized about winning the King of Yu and Zhongzhou Mu in one fell swoop, with this exploit, he could ask for a reward in front of Su Tai, and his official career would be smooth in the future.

The sound of many arrows sounding in his ears fell, and the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion in front of him were unscathed, Xu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then there were bursts of wails behind him.

Xu Shan turned around violently, and all the arrows he shot fell on the bandits behind him.

These bandits are elite, they can't even imagine that they will die in the hands of their own people, they have not been prepared at all from beginning to end, and even if they come back to their senses now, they will suffer heavy casualties, and there are not many people left.

Xu Shan was furious when he saw this, "Are you crazy, dare to disobey the order, and stop the commander."

The only thing that could respond to him was the continuous rain of arrows.
