Lord, we just found out the news. Although Chen Mo led his army back to the city, he has sent two troops to the north, fearing that he will cut off our army's food route!" The night was already dark, but the lights in Yang Feng's camp were brightly lit, and from time to time he could

Hearing the noise coming from outside the tent, the news of the vanguard army's defeat was not controlled in time, and now it has become known to everyone.

"Send my military order to withdraw at five o'clock tomorrow!" Yang Feng said with a headache. He couldn't do it without withdrawing. He had been attacking for three days in a row but failed to break through Qixian County. Now the vanguard army was defeated. Although he was grateful to Xu Huang for his last move to cut off the rear,

But in that case, he probably wouldn't be able to come back, so after Yang Ping came back, he did not hesitate to put all the blame on Xu Huang. But no matter what, Xu Huang's vanguard army was defeated, and Qixian County was defeated again.

Without being able to defeat it, Xu Huang's previously planned strategy of encirclement on three sides was naturally unable to continue.

Now Chen Mo has sent people to seize his retreat. If he does not withdraw at this time, Yang Feng is afraid that he will not be able to withdraw. Regarding Chen Mo, Yang Feng actually has some psychological shadow. Now that he has found that he cannot defeat him, he wants to sue for peace, but

Who to send...

Yang Feng looked at the generals, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Ping, who was looking thoughtful.

Yang Ping was thinking about how to distance himself from this battle, but suddenly found that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He looked up and saw Yang Feng looking at him, and said sternly: "Lord."

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Feng waved his hand and asked.

"My lord, it is now difficult to capture Qi County, so Chen Mo sent troops to loot our army's food routes. The general thinks that it is a wise move for my lord to withdraw his troops at this time." Yang Ping said quickly and solemnly.

"Just in time, I want to send someone to discuss the strike with Chen Mo. Since you think so, it's up to you to discuss it with Chen Mo." Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction. After all, he still knows what he wants.

"This..." Yang Ping's legs went weak. He almost died on the battlefield today. If he ran in front of Chen Mo, would Chen Mo kill himself to vent his anger?

"Don't worry, if you don't kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, Chen Mo is also a famous person. Even if he refuses, he will not make things difficult for you." Yang Feng waved his hand and said, Chen Mo is also a famous person after all. He is well-known in the world. He is unlikely to commit suicide.

Lower your status to kill the envoy.

Yang Ping is still a little scared, but looking at Yang Feng now, it seems that he is the only one suitable to go. He can't ask Yang Feng to tell him in person, right? Chen Mo usually won't be embarrassed when Yang Ping goes, but if it were Yang Feng, maybe it would be

Chen Mo immediately started to arrest people.

"My lord, it is not because the general is unwilling, but Chen Mo is full of tricks. Even if he agrees to the lord, he may not be able to scheming. The general believes that the top priority is to retreat quickly to avoid being cut off by Chen Mo!" Yang Ping Surong!

Yili said.

"Of course, we will retreat tomorrow morning, but we still need to go to Chen Mo." Yang Feng nodded, then looked at Yang Ping and said, "Just tell Chen Mo that we are willing to make him the lord of Taiyuan County, but Jin

Yang, Yangyi, and Yuci need to be governed by my Yang family."

Although Yang Feng lost the battle, he still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands and had bargaining chips with Chen Mo.

Yang Ping naturally didn't want to go, and persuaded: "My lord, have you ever forgotten how Chen Mo conquered Hedong? Now in Hedong, even the powerful Wei family is still intimidated by his power. How can he be willing to share Taiyuan with me?"

At the end of the day, my lord must guard the three cities at this moment. Chen Mo is getting married soon, so he must not stay for long. We can join forces with Han Xian to retake Taiyuan after Chen Mo withdraws his troops!"

"This is a delaying strategy. You go and have peace talks with Chen Mo, and I will take the opportunity to withdraw. Otherwise, do you think Chen Mo will let me leave so easily?" Yang Feng waved his hand impatiently: "When you enter the city this time, no matter what Chen Mo says,

They all promised him that he only needs to wait until tomorrow morning, after my army has withdrawn, and you will count it as a great achievement!"

Seeing that Yang Feng had made up his mind, Yang Ping could only sigh and bowed: "Here, I'll go right now."

At that moment, he said goodbye to Yang Feng, but he did not go to Qi County immediately. He procrastinated in the camp, and after Yang Feng urged him several times, he left the camp and went to Qi County.

"Yang Ping?" In Qixian City, Chen Mo was exchanging military skills with Xu Huang and his views on the situation in the world. After all, he was a general that Chen Mo valued. Chen Mo naturally wanted to have a good exchange. He heard the general say that Yang Ping was here.

Chen Mo was slightly startled: "Negotiating peace?"

Xu Huang, who had been following Yang Feng for a long time, knew something about Yang Feng. He looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "My lord, Yang Feng is probably going to withdraw his troops. I sent Yang Ping here to negotiate a peace. I'm afraid I want to delay time so that he can calm down."

withdraw troops."

Chen Mo nodded. He also reacted and smiled: "Interesting, it's getting late. Let's arrange for him to rest first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Here!" the guard agreed upon hearing this and bowed to leave.

"Gongming must be tired from the long days of fighting, so let's rest first." Chen Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"Farewell, my lord!" Xu Huang also stood up and saluted Chen Mo.

Chen Mo did not return to the bedroom, but went to the main hall of the government office and ordered people to summon Bao Geng.

"Lord!" Bao Geng came to the main hall and saluted Chen Mo.

"Yang Feng wants to retreat, but Cui Geng and Cheng Fang have just left. If he retreats now, it will be difficult for Cui Geng and Cheng Fang to break the city. I will give you four thousand troops to hold him back!" Chen Mo looked at Bao Geng.

smiled.

"Lord, if this happens, there will be no soldiers in the city and the lord's safety will be in danger..." Bao Geng's expression changed and he looked at Chen Mo and said worriedly. Chen Mo had an army of ten thousand. Cui Geng and Cheng Fang each took away three thousand. Now there will be only one left.

If four thousand people were sent to the city, wouldn't Qixian County become an empty city?

"My bodyguards and the surviving soldiers in the city are enough. Besides, with you restraining me outside the city, Yang Feng doesn't dare to attack the city rashly. It seems dangerous, but it is actually safe. Remember, don't confront him head-on. Just stay.

Just stay with him until Cui Geng, Cheng Fang and the two have defeated Jinyang and Yangyi counties. All the soldiers and horses of Yang Feng are mine!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here, general, take your orders!" Bao Geng agreed and bowed to leave.

There was no conversation all night, and early the next morning, Chen Mo showed no interest in Yang Ping, and Yang Ping was happy not to see Chen Mo.

Yang Feng wanted to leave, but Zoucheng was nowhere to be found. Bao Geng and his troops camped at a place less than three miles away. Yang Feng did not dare to move rashly. He just thought something was wrong with Yang Ping, so he sent a few more people to negotiate peace.

Chen Mo arranged to live with Yang Ping.

After a day like this, Bao Geng's soldiers and horses still haven't moved. Yang Feng is a little anxious. Good news came from Chen Mo. Gao Shun led Zheng Tu and Hu Cai to successfully break through Jingling. Now Chen Mo has a clear way back, Gao

He ordered Zheng Tu to lead five hundred soldiers and horses to garrison Jingling, and he brought Hu Cai and his army to Chen Mo's place to resume his duties.

At this point, Chen Mo had enough troops here and was no longer worried about Yang Feng's counterattack at this time, so he immediately invited Yang Ping to meet him.

"My lord has no intention of being an enemy to the envoy. He came here to present a letter of surrender to the envoy." Yang Ping kept his posture very low, not at all arrogant like he was in the camp that day.

"Since it is a letter of surrender, firstly, the household registration has not been handed over, and secondly, the troops outside the city have not surrendered, so the three counties of Jinyang, Yangyi, and Yuci must be retained by the Yang family?" Chen Mo looked at the letter of surrender, then looked at Yang Ping and smiled.

Said: "Not to mention that Jinyang is the governor of Taiyuan County and cannot be surrendered to Yang Feng. Now half of Taiyuan County has fallen into my hands. This letter of surrender is not so much a letter of surrender as it is to divide Taiyuan with me.

, but I have never seen General Yang’s sincerity.”

"This..." Cold sweat broke out on Yang Ping's forehead. He didn't know how to explain it. The envoy sent by Yang Feng had been with him for the past two days, so he naturally knew the situation outside. He couldn't figure out what Chen Mo meant. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Chen Mo meant.

Don't dare to answer randomly.

"Shijun!" Behind Yang Ping, another general couldn't stand it any longer. He clasped his fists at Chen Mo and said, "Even so, we can avoid a war, and both Shijun and I can reduce a lot of damage. Besides,

I heard that your marriage is coming soon, and my lord is willing to offer Yangyi as a gift. If we delay it like this, it will be harmful to your Majesty."

"That's right." Chen Mo stroked his chin and nodded: "I'll think about it. Everyone, go down first. General Yang Ping will stay. I still have some things to discuss with him."

Everyone frowned and looked at Yang Ping. Yang Ping felt his scalp numb and nodded silently: "You will go back first."

All the envoys could only agree. After bowing to Chen Mo, they bowed and left.

"General Yang!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Ping and said with a smile.

"Here~" Yang Ping responded quickly.

"Let me tell you this, the troops I sent out three days ago may have arrived in Jinyang and Yangyi now." Chen Mo looked at Yang Ping and did not mince words. He smiled and said, "How many people are there in Jinyang and Yangyi?"

I don’t know about the defenders, but since Yang Feng occupied the two cities, he has taken advantage of them. The people in the two places are very dissatisfied. Someone has contacted me. Even if Jinyang and Yangyi leave heavy troops, it will be difficult to defend them. No matter how strong the city is,

, and are afraid of internal chaos, not to mention that Yang Feng is not here now, and it is difficult to find a good general like Gongming under Yang Feng's command."

Yang Ping swallowed his saliva. Chen Mo's words shocked him a lot. He was trembling for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"You are a talent." Chen Mo stood up, walked down the hall, patted Yang Ping on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Yang Feng didn't realize your talent and doesn't know how to use it."

"I wonder what your envoy has to do?" Yang Ping was smart and had the ability to figure out his superiors' intentions, so he quickly bowed.

"You see, General Yang is actually very smart." Chen Mo patted Yang Ping and said with a smile: "I want the city, but I also want the soldiers and horses under Yang Feng's command. If General can help me, I need a chief secretary.

, I just need talents like General, but I don’t know if General Yang is willing to give in?"

Yang Ping hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Actually... the last general is also willing to lead the army to fight for the lord."

"No, you don't want to." Chen Mo patted Yang Ping's shoulder and smiled: "A person's achievements in this life are not determined by where he is now, but by where he is suitable. The chief clerk is just the beginning, there are many more.

Credit, if done well, your achievements in the future will be limitless."

Yang Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the general also has many confidants in Yang Fengjun. Once Jinyang falls, the general will be able to persuade them to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."

Of course, the premise is that Chen Mo can capture Jinyang.

"Smart, but... Yang Feng is your clan brother, and Master Yang did this..." Chen Mo looked at Yang Ping and said.

"Of course the general can't bear it, but the general doesn't want to see the war continue and the people be devastated by the war!" Yang Ping said solemnly.

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "I have indeed not misjudged the person. Master Yang is actually a person with great righteousness. In this case, you go and appease the envoys. After Jinyang is captured, I will let you out of the city.

At that time, we will have to rely on Master Yang."
