Xin Honggao looked at the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two men and was a little bit dumbfounded.
After all, he is also a military commander, so he can start arguing when he has nothing to do.
Really...
Xin Honggao had no choice but to stand up and be the peacemaker and said: "You two, stop arguing. How can it be inappropriate for a dignified man of seven feet to make noises like those bunch of civil servants? If you have the ability, let's fight in the ring another day.
Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable?”
Zhao Huaiyi suddenly became interested when he heard Xin Honggao's words: "Okay! Just fight! Who is afraid of whom?"
Jiang Hong said proudly: "Fighting at every turn because of generals? Hmph! Such vulgar martial arts behavior. One general has ten thousand enemies. How can he do such a temporary act of anger?"
Zhao Huaiyi: "If you can't beat me, you can't beat me. Why are you so stubborn?"
Jiang Hong said: "I am a Confucian general and a handsome man! Is there a marshal who will charge into the battle? Lao Xin, are you going?"
Xin Honggao: "I think you should prepare to go over and negotiate."
Jiang Hong walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back proudly.
Zhao Huaiyi couldn't help but said again: "What do traitors look like?"
Xin Honggao hugged Zhao Huaiyi and said: "Okay, okay, you are almost ten years younger than him, but you have more power than him in the army. It is normal for him to be dissatisfied. He will just live with his addiction and let him go."
Bar."
After hearing Xin Honggao's words, Zhao Huaiyi stopped his Qi-releasing behavior with Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong felt much better after quarreling with Zhao Huaiyi. After preparing for a bath and changing clothes, he led someone who claimed to be the peace envoy to the border town the next day.
It must be said that the current border town of Zhao State is indeed a bit miserable.
Even after half a year of accumulation, and now after a month of indiscriminate bombing, it still looks dilapidated, and the crenellations used as bunkers on the city wall are all missing pieces.
If all the remaining firearms are used, this fortified city that took half a year to be reinforced may have to be taken down.
But the most critical thing now is not the gains and losses of this city or place, but the replacement of Li Hu, a general who specializes in defending the city.
If Li Hu was not replaced, he would definitely retreat to the next city with these troops and continue to hold on.
If the Zhao State cannot be annihilated, even if the city is defeated, it will not affect the overall situation.
Jiang Hong, dressed in the attire of an elegant envoy, walked to the city and said: "Since the two sides started fighting, both sides have suffered heavy losses. I am here to make peace. Please inform your general."
The soldiers guarding the city tower couldn't help but frowned when they heard Jiang Hong's words and said, "Make peace? Are you, Shuzhou, trying to make some evil plans?"
Oops, he was actually discovered... Jiang Hong coughed and said calmly: "Look, I only brought two followers, and I didn't even have a weapon in my hand. How could I have any evil ideas?
I know your general, please let me know."
When the soldiers guarding the city heard Jiang Hong's words, they turned around and ordered others to do their duty, and went to inform the general himself.
They had been bombarded by Zhentian Lei for two full months, so they naturally had no good impression of these people from Shuzhou.
It was you who started the war as an excuse, but now you are asking for peace when you can't fight?
Where in the world can such a good thing exist?
As a young general guarding the city tower, he could tell that the morale of the Shuzhou army was already in chaos, and firearms were their biggest reliance.
When firearms are exhausted, military morale will inevitably become chaotic.
The morale of the army is unstable, this is a good time to counterattack.
When you were fully prepared, you came to attack us. Now that you are unable to follow up, you just want to negotiate a peace?
Where in the world can anything be so cheap?
Your three-axe round is over, it's our turn to play, right?
It's time for us to show off our skills and go out to fight back, right?
However, although he was aggrieved, he still went to the general's house to ask the general to make the decision.
Li Hu was still drinking tea in the mansion with dark circles under his eyes, but there had been no commotion in the other side for two days, and he was really not used to it.
The past two months had been a heavy torment for the people in their city.
Day and night are thunderous, as if you don't have money.
Want sleep?
There are no doors!
After I got used to it, I couldn't sleep without hearing the roar of the artillery.
Now Li Hu is the kind of person who can't hear the roar of thunder and has had insomnia for two consecutive days.
I can't sleep well at night, and I have to deal with things during the day, so I can only rely on strong tea to survive.
At this moment, an armored young general came in after the briefing, clasped his fists and said: "The last general guarding the West Tower, Ma Qin, has seen the general!"
Li Hu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Ma Qin and asked, "What happened to come to Tongbing?"
Ma Qin said: "A peace envoy from Shuzhou came outside the city. He said that these days have been a waste of people and money, and it would be bad for both sides to continue the war, so he did not plan to continue the war. He asked to discuss a truce with you and negotiate a peace. He also said that it is yours.
Old friend."
Li Huqiang cheered up and said: "The person opposite was also a general of our Zhao Kingdom. Naturally, they are all old friends. Negotiate peace? What do you think of this matter?"
Ma Qin said with a stern look: "General, the Shuzhou rebels now have very few firearms and can even be said to have almost exhausted them. According to the general, the enemy is already stretched thin and unable to sustain its successors. Without the firearms to rely on, the military's morale has begun to decline."
If the situation is stable, how can we let them negotiate for peace? We should take the initiative while they are weak and their military morale is unstable!"
After Ma Qin finished speaking, he was still complacent and showed off in front of the general, just in time to let the general see his strength.
What he said is so clear and logical, this is what he is capable of, the general shouldn't promote himself in the future?
Li Hu secretly pondered in his heart after hearing Ma Qin's words.
Even a mere petty official guarding the city tower can see that the failure of the Shuzhou rebels is a good time to make contributions. This is too flamboyant, and it proves that Shuzhou must have other tricks hidden secretly, and he has to stay calm for the time being.
, take a look first, and then act on your own initiative.
If they really want to negotiate a peace, what if the peace is shown to them?
If you come up with a plan, I will follow it. Anyway, if there is a truce, I will definitely not lose!
Thinking of this, Li Hu ordered the city gate to be opened to let the messenger from the Shuzhou rebels come in to speak.
Jiang Hong walked in with two followers and was led all the way to the general's mansion.
Li Hu was also surprised when he saw Jiang Hong: "Brother Jiang! It turns out it's you who's coming from outside! Are you here to seek peace this time?"
Jiang Hong said with a look of shame on his face: "Oh, Brother Li! My brother is here just to discuss peace this time!"
After the two sat down, Li Hu said, "Brother Jiang has always been upright, so why did he become a surrendered general?"
Jiang Hong sighed and said, "Shuzhou has great hands and eyes. He first went to the capital and robbed my family members in order to earn money for them to board their pirate ship. They have no moral ethics! The generals have been completely disgraced by them!"
