Liu Mo smiled, "Can you bring the map?" ”

Bai Chengzong immediately ordered his subordinates to do so. Liu Mo unfolded the leather map and flattened it.

"This is the Ningxi Corridor, this is Xingluo, and this is Gangwon Town." He said, pointing to the map. "If the Zhou Dynasty storms the town of Gangwon, its nearest supply will be at Baihe, which is more than seventy miles away.

If deployed on the border of Xingluo, regardless of whether it will attack or not, our army must divide forces to support in order to prevent the enemy from going around behind our army. ”

To put it simply, the Zhou Dynasty deployed the main force on the Xingluo border, with a short supply line, and at the same time was able to take advantage of Xingluo to detour behind Great Xia.

If the Great Xia army is divided into troops to support, Xingluo belongs to the plateau terrain, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the supply line is infinitely extended.

If Xingluo is left alone, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the last time.

"Hmph, damn Zhou Dynasty miscellaneous!" Bai Chengzong scolded, "General Li, please send scouts as soon as possible to find out the enemy's situation as soon as possible!" ”

What Liu Mo said is all speculation, and it is very important to verify it.

"It's nature." Li Jinliang said, "Right now, I still have to bother Lord Liu to prepare for peace talks." ”

"Me?" Liu Mo was surprised, "Peace talks? ”

"That's right, it's Your Majesty's will!" Li Jinliang announced.

~~~

The negotiation took place in a withered yellow meadow dotted with gray lichens.

"We're here too early, Lord Liu," Tang Qingfeng commented as they rode to their destination.

The banner of the nine-clawed golden dragon of the Great Xia Dynasty flew with joy at the tip of the spear clenched by the soldiers behind him. From here, Liu Mo couldn't see the Zhou Dynasty military camp, but he could clearly feel the presence of the army.

Because of mutual distrust, the two sides had to choose to conduct the first round of negotiations in the wilderness.

"Lord Liu, they're here!" A Great Xia non-commissioned officer shouted.

Not far away, two riders appeared, and they came slowly.

"Could it be Yang Yizhi?" Liu Mo couldn't help but get nervous.

It wasn't until he got closer that he saw that it was a new face.

The man's outfit was plain: a cotton jacket with chain mail, a pair of worn boots, and the weaver's rough brown trousers.

Strangely, the flag bearer chosen by this person was not only a woman, but also dressed in a thin attire, and his face was hidden in a black hood.

Seeing this dress, Tang Qingfeng's face was gloomy, he turned his head to look at Liu Mo, and said, "This woman is from the Juanhua Palace!" ”

I'm going to Nima! Liu Mo sighed, fortunately, I fooled Tang Qingfeng to protect me!

"Lord Liu!" The person who came grabbed his mount, nodded slightly, and greeted him with a cold salute. "Dare to be in history."

"Do you recognize me?" Liu Mo was surprised.

"Liu Mo, the 'God of War' in Great Xia!" Shi Dangdang replied under his neat beard, his huge chin tightened, "His Royal Highness the Prince has asked people to draw a portrait of you, and I am a military attache above the seventh rank of the Great Zhou Fan, and everyone knows it!" ”

Lao Tzu goes to Nima! Liu Mo frowned. S-class wanted criminal? Once encountered, shoot and kill?

"I didn't expect to be so honored!" Liu Mo adjusted his mentality and replied calmly.

"I heard that Lord Liu married Princess Xingluo again?" Shi Dangdang's deep-set eyes made Liu Mo uncomfortable. "The prince asked me to ask you, is this how you treat Miss Xiaowan?"

"She's already my wife, so I'll naturally take care of her." Liu Mo responded, "You go back and tell Brother Yang and let him rest assured." I have asked His Majesty the Emperor for a decree, Xiao Wan is now my Daxia people! ”

"Oh? It seems that Lord Liu is indeed a person who keeps his promises! Shi Dare said, "But I don't know, in terms of fairness and justice? ”

The other side wanted to ask about the recent border conflict.

"What kind of justice do you want?" Liu Mo asked him.

"Justice for this premeditated massacre." Shi Dare is in charge. "Hand over the mastermind, severely punish the accomplices, and compensate me for one million taels of silver in Da Zhou. And, the new salt manufacturing method! ”

The first two items are understandable. One million taels of silver plus a new salt manufacturing method, you really dare to ask for it!

"General Shi, are you sure this is a peace talk?" Liu Mo said with a smile. "As a sign of sincerity, I assure you that I will uphold justice for this massacre. Fu Lin and others will be executed, I promise! ”

"Ha, I didn't expect that Lord Liu also likes to make promises with human heads." Shi Dang said, "But who will bear the losses of the people on the border of my Great Zhou?" Their houses were burned and their farmland destroyed. ”

"If you say so. Last winter, who would bear the losses of the people of our Jianglin Mansion? Liu Mo scoffed, "Who do I want from the pensions of the soldiers who died in the Great Xia War, the expenses of the army, the grain and grass?" ”

"So, Lord Liu doesn't plan to negotiate peace?" Shi Dangdang said in a threatening tone.

Nonsense, who wants to talk to you!

"You retreat, we will severely punish the murderer!" Liu Mo said, "Other than that, my Great Xia will never compromise and make concessions!" ”

Shi Dangdang looked at Liu Mo's face again, and still didn't smile at all. "I swore that once I saw you, Lord Liu, I would break you into pieces! Perhaps, it's time for me to keep my vows. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to his waist, and Liu Mo immediately clenched the hilt of his sword when he saw this. "I, Liu Mo, have never been afraid of anyone's threats." He said, "It's called a negotiation, but with an assassin from the Silk Flower Palace? ”

The three words of Juanhua Palace obviously stimulated him.

"Threat?" Shi Dangdang roared, "You think I'm threatening you? He drew his sword abruptly. Kill you, you don't need someone from the Flower Palace! ”

Under the pale gaze, the sword body shone with a strange light, one moment red, one moment yellow, and the next moment it turned into a blazing white glow. Even the air around him seemed to sense the heat of the blade, and it glowed with the transformation.

"Lord Liu, be careful!" Tang Qingfeng reminded him, "The demon method of the Silk Flower Palace!" ”

Liu Mo's mount screamed and took a step back. Tang Qingfeng rode his horse into the middle of the two, "Put down the sword!" He shouted Shi Dangdang.

Shi Dangdang lifted the shining long sword and pointed at Liu Mo. "I obey the Prince's orders and give you one last chance! If you don't do what I asked, don't blame me for being polite. ”

Liu Mo laughed, "General Shi, your sword is so beautiful, I envy you, but I doubt that the light of this thing will affect your eyesight." You take a closer look ahead, my Great Xia border pass is an important town, but it is not your 10,000 people who can take it! ”

"We'll see, Lord Liu." When Shi Dangdang put the sword into the sheath, the heavens and the earth seemed to have lost a little brilliance. "When the morning dawns, we'll see."

After speaking, he snorted and walked away, his expression full of contempt.

And the woman from the Silk Flower Palace beside him lingered for a while. "Remember your own sins, Lord Liu," she said, driving her mount in circles.

Your Lord has written down your name, Lord Liu, you will definitely die! The Female Assassin of the Silk Flower Palace threatened again.

"Silk Flower Palace, huh?" Liu Mo scoffed. "If you have this ability, come on, I, Liu Mo, am not afraid!"
