After a night of fierce fighting, on a hill in the southwest of Loulan City, Han Sui stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Loulan City, which was standing more than ten miles away, his face sinking like water.

Behind him, the strong general Yang Qiu and the candidate stood side by side, and Yang Qiu comforted him: "The old general doesn't have to be annoyed, in the battle last night, our army died 12,000, and the loss of the Loulan army was at least 20,000, and our army is not lost." ”

Han Sui said in a deep voice: "12,000 elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles have been exchanged for 20,000 rabble, and the camps have been broken through seventeen, General Jiang Dong was killed in battle, and two generals, Yan Xing and Cheng He, were captured. ”

Every time he spoke, the faces of the two people behind him darkened.

Han Sui paused, and then seemed to use his best strength to say word by word: "The most important thing is that our army is no longer able to maintain the encirclement of Loulan City, and before the arrival of Pang De's army, the initiative on the battlefield fell to the side of the Loulan army. ”

sighed: "This is a fiasco!"

Yang Qiu's candidates didn't know how to speak, and when they were at a loss, Han Sui turned around and said while walking down the hillside: "Send an envoy into the city, meet in the clouds, and discuss the surrender of Loulan City." ”

Yang Qiu was stunned and said: "Yunzhong's morale is currently greatly boosted, will he agree to Kaicheng to surrender?"

Han Sui snorted coldly: "Twenty thousand lives in the clouds are just for this peace talk." ”

In the council hall in Loulan City, the atmosphere was equally solemn, and there was no ecstasy that should be after a victory.

Most of them had gloomy faces, and some of them lowered their heads and cast their eyes into the clouds sitting in the manager's seat, with deep jealousy and fear, and hidden hatred.

These people are mainly nobles from all walks of life who have defected to Loulan, and last night, the leader of the mercenaries from the far east sent 20,000 Loulan people to death outside the city by deception, in exchange for a victory.

Yun Zhong didn't care about these eyes, but his face was also solemn, last night's battle should be the last battle of this expedition to Loulan, ending with a victory, it looks good, but the final result still depends on Han Sui's face.

Whether 20,000 lives can be exchanged for 50,000 lives depends on the results of the next negotiations with Han Sui.

Tai Shi Ci walked quickly into the council hall and said to Yunzhong: "Han Sui sent a messenger to ask you for an interview. ”

Yunzhong turned his head to look at Prince Luokai, but the nominal leader of the Loulan Restoration Army just sat there blankly, without saying a word, beside him, Princess Lin nodded at Yunzhong, there was wariness in her eyes, more begging.

Yun Zhong sighed secretly, but then laughed: "This old man is quite straightforward, it seems that things will be much better than we thought." ”

looked up at Tai Shici: "Big brother, you let the messenger bring the message back, just at two o'clock this afternoon, in the open space outside the west gate of Loulan City, talk about the wine." ”

Li Cunxiao asked, "Will you be in a hurry this afternoon?"

"The goals of both sides are clear, and there is no need to procrastinate," Yunzhong said. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded and walked out of the hall.

After Princess Lin waited for Tai Shici to leave, she said, "Lord Yun, our Loulan royal family still has the net worth and lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and they will all be handed over to you." ”

Yun waited for a while before he nodded and did not speak.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a large table was set up in the open space outside the west gate of Loulan City, and on both sides of the table, there were two rows of chairs.

On the Daxia side, Han Sui hadn't arrived yet, but someone arrived first, sitting directly opposite Li Cunxiao with a big grin.

It was late autumn, but the noon in Loulan was still very hot, and under the scorching sun, the air felt a little steaming.

"I said that you chose to negotiate at this time, because you want to confuse the old man Han Sui first, and then put forward conditions, right?"

Lu Bu's heavy body pressed the chair to squeak, and his eyes were slanted when he looked at the clouds.

Yunzhong didn't mind, in fact, Lu Bu was not wrong, a wise opponent like Han Sui, he was not completely sure of what advantage he would take advantage of during the negotiation, if he could take advantage of the weather, it would be a very good thing.

However, when Han Sui arrived with several people, Yunzhong realized that he had thought too much, and what he thought of, this old man also thought of it.

Behind Han Sui, there was a candidate, this black tower-like man, holding a large parasol in his hand, shrouding the old man's whole body in the shade, and Yang Qiu, holding a pu fan, standing on one side.

The four people who arrived first all had wonderful faces, Yun Zhong was embarrassed with Sun Ce and Li Cunxiao, but Lu Bu quipped: "Old General Han, you are tired from fighting, and you are going to take these two boys on vacation?"

Han Sui said with a smile: "Rong Ma has been a lifetime, I am really a little tired, after coming to Lord Yun to pick up my son-in-law and General Cheng He, I am going to be in my fiefdom of Wuyang City, Liangzhou, to ask for land, fish and study, be a rich man, and spend my old age in peace." ”

Hearing this, Yunzhong whispered to Sun Ce, Sun Ce stood up and made a gesture in the direction of Loulan City behind him, and after a while, the city gate opened, and the two horses galloped out of the city, and ran to Yunzhong Han Sui and others approached, and the two turned over and dismounted, it was Yan Xing and Cheng He, who were captured the night before.

Cheng He was not lightly injured, his face was full of shame, he saluted Han Sui, and stood beside Yang Qiu.

Yan Xing sat beside Han Sui with a big grin, and smiled: "Father-in-law, I'm back." ”

Han Sui glared at him and said with a wry smile: "It's okay to suffer a little loss, you know that there are people outside the sky, right?"

Yan Xing looked indifferent: "When I reach the peak of the Heavenly Rank, I will go and fight with Zhao Yun and Tai Shici." ”

Han Sui shook his head and looked at Yunzhong: "Lord Yun, you and your mercenary team withdraw from Loulan and return to your Yannan City, and then go there It has nothing to do with Great Xia, as compensation, Great Xia can cede three cities to you from Loulan, this condition should be generous enough, right?"

Yunzhong nodded: "It's really generous, but can I exchange those three cities for a few hundred lives?"

Han Sui was stunned, and then said with a smile: "The original Loulan royal family is immortal, and my Great Xia Loulan County is not stable, it's not that we have to kill those little cubs." ”

Yunzhong shook his head: "The Loulan royal family will no longer be a threat to you, I will take them to Dashang Black Mountain County, tens of thousands of miles away, you should be able to rest assured." ”

Han Sui smiled brightly: "Your appearance here actually represents an attitude of the big business, the Loulan royal family went to the big business, how can you tell us to sit back and relax!"

Yunzhong frowned, what Han Sui said was not a strong word, the Great Shang did adopt an obstructive attitude towards the expansion of Great Xia in the Western Regions, if there was such a prince in the Western Regions in the hands of Great Shang, it was indeed easy for Great Shang to use it as a pawn against Great Xia.

Han Sui Zhengse said: "Except for the Loulan royal family, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Loulan Restoration Army, if they are willing to stay, I will give preferential treatment in Daxia, according to their ability, or give them official positions, or send them back to their hometowns, and insist on following Lord Yun, and we will not stop them." And of course a few thousand Pars cavalry,"

Yunzhong is still frowning, this condition can be said to be quite generous, it has reached the bottom line of the Great Xia, he can feel it, and if it continues, it will not have any effect.

But if it is accepted like this, the mercenary team and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Loulan Restoration Army will not be punished, but the dozens of princes and nobles of the Loulan royal family, including Prince Luo Kai and Princess Lin, will face the fate of being imprisoned for life at the lightest, and it is very likely that they will be directly beheaded.

After pondering for a long time with his head down, Yunzhong raised his head and looked at Han Sui: "Return General Yan Xing to us, and then I will enter the city and let the soldiers of Loulan go out of the city and surrender unconditionally, and I, try to bring the mercenary team and the Loulan royal family back to Dashang." ”

Yan Xing squirted out a mouthful of water: "Boy, you're not joking, are you?"

Yun Zhong said with a smile: "When we go out of the city, we will naturally release General Yan Xing." ”

Han Sui said: "This is no problem, we will naturally not take advantage of you, Yan Xing can stay with you for two more days, but you have to think about it, what you have to do is not easy, first of all, your power in the rock country will be uprooted quickly, and then, you want to go back to Dashang, no matter which way you go, you will face the encirclement and interception of the four white wolves and four white deer in Daxia, with your ten thousand people, it is impossible to go to Dashang." ”

These clouds naturally understood that his plan was to abandon the Yan Kingdom, disband all the recruited mercenaries, and only take a few dozen relatives and the Loulan royal family, such a small army could still return to Dashang from the many obstacles, of course, provided that those guys in the sky did not make a move.

Han Sui's face turned cold, he really didn't expect Yunzhong to make such a choice, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "Sir, is it worth it?"

Yunzhong smiled: "To be honest, I don't know if it's worth it or not." ”

Li Cunxiao laughed and stood up, with high fighting spirit.

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and stood up: "It seems that you still have to fight." ”

Yan Xing's face was also helpless: "Okay, stay with you for two more days, father-in-law, please send someone to send some good wine to the city tonight, I really don't know how these guys swallow that unpleasant ale every day." ”

Everyone's mood is a little heavy, and the battle has to continue at this time, and it is very tiring.

A white light fell from the sky and fell on the side of several people, whether it was in Loulan City or the Great Xia Military Camp, and there was a burst of exclamations at the same time.

A huge white deer stood there, its whole body emitting an astonishing momentum.

Yun Zhong, Han Sui and the others didn't dare to slack off, they all stood up and saluted: "I've seen Lord Bailu!"

Bailu didn't answer, but said in a deep voice: "Prince Luokai must stay in Loulan as a hostage, and the rest of the Loulan royal family can go to Dashang with the clouds." ”
