Chapter 173: Peace and War, Conspiracy and Break (Part II)
"When the two armies fight, it is inevitable that lives will be lost. ”
"For the sake of the people, for the sake of the generals. ”
"The rainy season is approaching, and we will withdraw our troops first, but please sign an alliance with us. ”
"From now on, as long as the general does not come out of Ningchuan, we will never offend the general. ”
Liu Heng straightened his waist and sat on the back of the black dragon, standing on the shore of the waterway with his eyes open, holding Bai Ming in sheepskin with both hands.
"You said you wouldn't fight if you didn't fight?"
There was a man holding the reins in one hand and standing beside the black horse.
A cold smile appeared on his face, and the pupils in his eyes flickered slightly.
"You said you wanted to fight?"
"Again. ”
"You think you should fight when you should fight, and when you think you can't fight, you won't fight?"
Yougen carefully observed Bai Ming, but Bai Ming kept hanging his head and holding the sheepskin high in both hands.
Yougen gradually narrowed his eyes, and deliberately gathered Gangyuan in his throat, raising the volume.
"You guys are taking it for granted!"
Hearing this, Bai Ming frowned slightly.
He tried his best to maintain a calm tone and replied, "The general's cultivation is profound. ”
"Ningchuan is dangerous, and there are strong generals and elite soldiers gathered, and we know that we are powerless to resist. ”
"In the previous few battles, our side lost troops and lost generals, and its strength was not as good as before. ”
"This peace is not a discussion, but a begging. ”
Hearing this, the eyebrows of the root were slightly raised.
After turning his head and glancing at Liu Heng, he quickly turned his head back.
"There is no basis for words. ”
"Since it's a begging, you should always show some sincerity. ”
Yougen raised his left hand and pointed to Bai Ming, who was holding a sheepskin and standing with his head down.
"Since you want to sign the alliance under the city. There is always a price to pay. ”
Hearing this, Bai Ming quickly put down his hands.
He tucked the sheepskin into the wide sleeve of his left hand, and then put his left hand into the wide sleeve of his right hand.
He fumbled for a moment, and then pulled out another roll of sheepskin.
This is a copy of the covenant. ”
Bai Ming Dynasty Yougen and Liu Heng held up the parchment scroll.
"If you need to add or modify, the general can do it. ”
"After I bring back the parchment, I and a few others will discuss it collectively, and will inform the general of the results of the discussion as soon as possible. ”
Looking at the sheepskin that Bai Ming was holding, Yougen hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth secretly.
He turned his head to look at Liu Heng. Meeting his gaze, Liu Heng nodded.
He turned his head, strode in front of Bai Ming, and stretched out his right hand.
His right hand stopped in front of the sheepskin that Bai Ming was holding, and after hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the sheepskin in his hand.
"You stay here, and you are not allowed to go there. ”
One turned around with the sheepskin in his hand and strode forward.
"I'll have someone bring you something to eat this afternoon. ”
Yougen walked back to the dark horse. Reaching out and pulling the reins, the handsome black horse turned around.
"General. ”
Bai Ming raised his head and looked at the two people who were gradually walking away, his eyes becoming clearer and brighter.
"Thank you. ”
This time. The counties are really sincere.
Except for the demand for an armistice, the rest of the conditions can be mentioned at will.
So, there is a root that is also very face-giving, and the lion begins to open his mouth widely.
"In the middle of the rainy season. There will be no traders. ”
"But the rainy season is only three months, so let the counties lift the checkpoints in various places first and let the roads be clear. ”
"Also. We also need to demand that the counties pay a huge amount of grain and grass, which can be eaten by at least 260,000 people for ten years and eight years, and stipulate that all the grain and grass must be sent to Ningchuan during the rainy season. ”
"Late is a change. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng frowned slightly.
"What if they can't give it so much food?"
Hearing this, Yougen laughed slyly.
"Of course they can't give it. ”
"But I didn't want them to give that much at once. ”
However, if they agree to this condition, then this covenant must be fake. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng blinked and laughed.
"You're cunning. ”
"Huh. ”
Yougen grinned shyly and laughed too.
"The rainy season is approaching, and more than 100,000 troops are stationed outside Ningchuan, and it has been a year. ”
"The counties must have been overwhelmed, and seeing that the people in Qingfeng had never planned to make a move, they wanted to withdraw from the army. ”
"Eighty percent of this covenant is false. ”
"After the autumn harvest this year, the counties will get grain and vow to make a comeback. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
He looked up again and looked at Yougen with a puzzled expression.
"Why do we sign it when we know it's fake?"
"General. ”
Yougen lowered his head slightly, and the smile on his face was raised.
"They want to stabilize us, avoid being attacked and harassed by our troops when they retreat, and delay the speed of their withdrawal. ”
"It's a great opportunity. ”
"The more than 50,000 garrisons in Caoyun County can only eat one meal a day now. ”
"The people who built the embankment can only eat once a day. ”
"At the bottom of the reclaimed lake, corn grass is being planted. ”
"But with the first round of farming, it is not known whether enough grain will be captured after the autumn harvest. ”
"General. ”
Yougen sighed, deliberately accentuating his tone.
"We can ask the allied forces of the counties to allocate a part of the military rations, and first alleviate the urgent needs in the region!"
"Also. ”
"I've promised a lot of people to take them home. ”
"Now, it's time to cash in. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng's eyes moved slightly.
"How?"
"How?"
"Huh. ”
Yougen smiled and shook his head.
"Let's just say that we want to take revenge and ask the counties for the families of the suspects who attacked Yinshui Town in the rainy season. ”
"Let's say we're going to kill these mobs and pay tribute to the dead with their blood. ”
This article should be written at the beginning. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously.
"It must be written at the beginning. ”
"Come again. ”
"One more point to be made in the covenant. ”
Looking at the resolute look in Liu Heng's eyes, Yougen, who put away his smile again, had a solemn face, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"If they dare to deny the opening one, we will immediately go to war with the coalition forces!"
"Even if you fight to the point of one soldier, you are bound to fight it, and you will not die!"
Liu Heng raised his head, leaned on the solid wood chair behind him, opened his mouth and exhaled.
"Since it's a false covenant. ”
"How can the counties not follow it, no matter what. ”
"There will be no fighting until this autumn's harvest. ”
"There is a root, and the drawing up of the covenant will be left to you. ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Yougen, who was standing at the other end of the wooden table, lowered his head expressionlessly and raised his hands.
He arched his hands towards Liu Heng.
He bent down and slowly exited the tower.
At dusk, when the sun was setting, the soldiers between the narrow walls of Ningchuan began to stack firewood and prepare to raise a bonfire.
Bai Ming Yougen bowed down respectfully and took over the revised covenant.
After he left Ningchuan in a flat boat, he led the cavalry guarding the Ningchuan waterway, and placed one hundred and twenty giant flags side by side on the river bank.
After planting the flag, Bai Ming led one hundred and twenty cavalrymen and turned around and sailed towards the camp of the coalition army. (To be continued......)
PS: Hmm.
Rushed, but checked a few times.
Night shift, there should be a chapter tomorrow night.
