Only ten minutes later, Ma Jinshi felt like a whole day, and when he saw Cai Bo and Ma Jinxi coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Cai Bo: "Cai Shangguan, you are here, I just received information that Qin Pei is going to attack us." ”

Ma Jinxi saw that Ma Jinshi ignored him on the side, and moved to the chair on the side.

Qin Pei attacked Futan City, Cai Bo had thought about it many times, but he couldn't come up with a strategy to resist the enemy.

"City Lord, now Qin Pei is only in the preparation stage, waiting for him to attack us, there is still a period of time, we can discuss slowly."

"Hehehe."

Ma Jinxi, who was sitting next to him, laughed coldly and said, "Hahaha, when you slowly discuss it, Qin Pei has hit our City Lord's Mansion." After speaking, he said to Ma Jinshi: "City Lord, I will lead the troops of a banner and go out of the city to resist Qin Pei." ”

In Futan City, there are two banners of troops, and this half of the troops will be taken out of the city, if they are defeated, there will be no troops to defend the city, Ma Jinshi hesitated, and looked at Cai Bo.

Qin Pei now has three cities, abundant resources, strong troops, and a comprehensive combat power much higher than that of Futan City.

After thinking about it, Cai Bo said: "City Lord, it is not good for us to fight Qin Pei now, it is better to make peace with him." ”

"Hahaha," Ma Jin laughed ecstatically: "Before the fight, we have to talk about peace, it's really a shame that you can say it." ”

Ma Jinxi is Ma Jinshi's younger brother, although Cai Bo's military merits are higher than Ma Jinxi, but he does not dare to compete with Ma Jinxi.

Avoiding Ma Jinxi's words, Cai Bo continued: "City Lord, if you are defeated, there will be nothing to talk about, and now peace talks may be able to fight for the greatest benefits." ”

Facing Qin Pei, Ma Jinshi looked painful and remorseful: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have fought with him at the beginning, so as not to be like this." ”

"So we have to fight." Ma Jinxi stood up and said firmly.

Ma Jinshi's face was full of hesitation, he slowly walked back to the chair and sat down, and after thinking for a while, he said to Cai Bo and Ma Jinxi: "In this way, make peace first, if it doesn't work, we will fight again." Cai Bo is in charge of the peace talks, Jinxi, you are ready to go to war. ”

"Yes."

After Cai Bo and Ma Jinxi received the order, they each went to prepare.

August 221 in the Middle-earth calendar.

Qin Pei led his army from Maiba City and headed for Futan City.

Outside the boundaries of Futan City, Qin Pei ordered to camp and rest, and attack Futan City tomorrow.

After receiving the pressure of Qin Pei's army, Cai Bo rushed to Qin Pei's military camp overnight.

Qin Pei was discussing tomorrow's attack with Wei Yiqi, Gan Chao and others in the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he heard Cai Bo coming, the corners of Qin Pei's mouth let out two cold snorts: "Dare to come at this time, I'm not afraid that I will kill him." ”

Wei Yiqi said: "Lord, let him in and listen to what he has to say." ”

Qin Pei shouted outside, "Let him in." ”

The soldiers outside answered, and after a burst of footsteps, Cai Bo entered the Chinese army's tent under the leadership of a soldier.

After meeting Qin Pei and everyone, under Qin Pei's signal, Cai Bo stepped forward and sat aside.

"Lord Qin, our Macheng Lord is already the same family as Lord Qin, why does Lord Qin want a large army to suppress the realm and attack us?"

"Hahaha." Qin Pei laughed: "Family? Where did you come from, take advantage of my crusade to set up their own doors, like a rebellion, of course I will come to attack you. ”

Cai Bo raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Qin has misunderstood, our Ma City Lord has always been led by Lord Qin, and has never rebelled, I hope Lord Qin can still be the same as before, we will unite and fight with Lord Qin." ”

"You want to follow me again, hehe, so why bother in the first place?"

Cai Bo said: "If there was no beginning, there would be no current Futan City, how could Lord Qin have one more city." ”

There is one more city without fighting, Qin Pei is a little tempted, but he is worried that Ma Jinshi will make small moves behind his back: "What if you rebel again?" ”

"Hahaha," Cai Bo laughed: "With the combat power of Lord Qin, whoever dares to rebel, who can rebel, if you really rebel, Lord Qin's army will wave, who can resist." ”

was praised by Cai Bo, Qin Pei felt very comfortable in his heart, and there was no anger on his face.

"Lord."

Wei Yiqi said: "If you want to unite, Ma Jinshi can continue to be the city lord, but the army and resources are under our control." ”

Cai Bo said: "Without an army, how can you help the lord protect the city." ”

Wei Yiqi said directly: "The city lord will send troops to garrison it. ”

In this way, what is the difference between surrender and surrender, Cai Bo said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Qin Pei said: "It's so decided, otherwise you will break through the city and leave no one behind." ”

Qin Pei had made up his mind, and he looked like a send-off, Cai Bo could only say goodbye to everyone and leave Qin Pei's military camp.

In the mansion of the city lord of Futan City, the dark night did not give Ma Jinshi sleep, and he was alone in the office to wait for the news of Cai Bo.

"City Lord."

A shout outside the door made Ma Jinshi jump up from his chair and immediately run to the door.

"How's the peace talks?" Ma Jinshi asked eagerly.

Cai Bo walked sharply for several hours, his mouth open, and he was out of breath.

"City Lord, peace talks are okay, but there are conditions."

Hearing that peace talks could be made, Ma Jinshi's hanging heart was put down and said, "Sit down quickly and speak slowly." ”

Cai Bo walked into Ma Jinshi's office, took a sip of water, and said: "City Lord, Qin Pei agreed to peace talks, not to attack us, and to unite, but his conditions are a bit harsh, which is not good for us. ”

Looking at Cai Bo's face, Ma Jinshi's heart that he had just put down came up again.

"What conditions? Say it. ”

When Qin Pei's conditions are spoken, Ma Jinshi will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, he will be angry, and it will be unlucky to pull himself out and kill him.

After Cai Bo's mind turned around a few times, he said: "City Lord, Qin Pei's conditions are too inconsiderate of us, so I agreed with Ma Qichang's suggestion and fought with Qin Pei." ”

"Can you stop spitting," Ma Jinshi said angrily: "Say it quickly, what conditions?" ”

Cai Bo said: "City Lord, I'll just say Qin Pei's original words, Qin Pei said that it's okay to negotiate peace and unite, the key is that the city owner will give up resources and military power." ”

"Resources and military power?" Ma Jinshi looked puzzled: "Then what else can I do?"

Seeing that Ma Jinshi's face slowly pulled down, Cai Bo hurriedly said: "So City Lord, Qin Pei is too hateful, if he doesn't take us seriously, he can't agree to the request he put forward at all, let's fight." ”

"Okay, you Qin Pei, I'm really afraid of you." Ma Jinshi's palms were clenched tightly: "Look how I beat you." ”

On the second day, Qin Pei waited until the twilight, but no one sent a letter over, and said hatefully: "Ma Jinshi has so many tricks, let me wait for a day in vain." ”

Wei Yiqi on the side said: "City Lord, it's getting late now, it's better to send troops to occupy a few nearby towns and seize resources by the way." ”

"Okay, let Sun Yu lead a battalion of troops and occupy the surrounding towns."

Qin Pei's order was passed on, and Sun Yu immediately led his troops out of the barracks.
