At noon the next day, the book was shot at the top of the city. The thieves sent it to Wan's door. They opened it and read it. It was Mu Tianbo who wanted to sneak in and negotiate with her again. It was not a yelling at the top of the city, but a two-way negotiation!
Wan's urgent thought at this time was to rescue Sha Dingzhou quickly and make other plans later. Seeing that the other party gave him the opportunity to step down, he agreed. After several discussions, the two parties confirmed the negotiation location and number of people, outside the south gate moat.
At one place, each side sent five people.
The leader in the city is Yu Xipeng, the chief steward of Prince Mu's palace. Mu Tianbo's move naturally has deep meaning. Yuan Guohong and others have been complaining about Ruan Chenglin and even became traitors. This made him suspicious of Xipeng, at least.
He no longer trusted him and even felt disgusted. This time, he was asked to go out of the city to negotiate and test it out. If he made meritorious service and redeemed himself, if he turned against him and was killed, he would be brought down.
"It's no different for you to go to war to save people. We don't want to fight for the sake of the overall situation. In that case, why don't we shake hands and make peace?" Yu Xipeng went straight to the point. Wan Shi shrugged: "If you want to make peace, then let him go. Don't say so much.
nonsense!"
"It's not impossible to release people, but how can we ensure that they are released and left immediately?" Yu Xipeng tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, and Wanshi snorted: "Then how can you guarantee that you will release them after I withdraw my troops?"
"That's why we came to discuss this matter." Yu Xipeng chuckled. What my lord meant was: "If you retreat thirty miles, let us go immediately!"
"No!" Wanshi flatly refused: "Withdraw thirty miles, you will have enough time to send people to report the news. Then I will have no choice but to betray you." Yu Xipeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can the signature of Prince Mu's Mansion be worth a thousand dollars?
Break your promise. Besides, if we break your promise, you can send troops to besiege the city again. By then, your reinforcements will have arrived and the troops will be stronger!"
"Don't use your sign at this time, and don't try to deceive me. Even if my reinforcements arrive, won't your troops also come?" Wan Shi sneered: "If you want to talk about peace, show some sincerity, otherwise we will waste it.
We will both lose in this fight!"
Yu Xipeng smiled bitterly and said: "I am sincere, otherwise why would I negotiate peace with you? In previous years, how could the Duke of the country have allowed you to be so presumptuous? It's just that we are trapped by the current situation. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Bikui has not yet been destroyed and is afraid
Zhang Xianzhong, why should I be afraid of you! But don’t push your nose too hard and just give it up when it’s good! Although the current situation is not in my favour, you don’t have any advantage at the moment!”
It has to be said that although Yu Xipeng's character is not that good, he has something good, and his words are clear and logical. Wan was also moved when he heard this: "You don't need to analyze who is better and who is worse, but if you want to negotiate peace, you have to come up with something."
Sincerity cannot be what you say!"
"Then what kind of sincerity do you want us to show? It's impossible to release people first and then evacuate!" Yu Xipeng looked determined! Wan thought for a moment: "Well, let's release Sha Dingzhou first.
How about I retreat ten miles and then let Tang Jingjien and others go? He is my brother-in-law and I won’t care about his life or death..."
"No!" Yu Xipeng shook his head: "If you retreat ten miles, we will release Tang Jingbin, and if you retreat thirty miles, we will release Sha Dingzhou. Also, except for Sha Dingzhou and Tang Jingbin, all your troops entering the city will have no survivors!" Wan's family
After hearing this, he was furious: "You actually killed more than a hundred of my people!"
"If you don't kill me, you will harm the people in the city. Didn't you kill more than a hundred of my soldiers yesterday?" Yu Xipeng shouted angrily. Wan's face turned pale for a while, and he waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't talk about that matter, just talk about how to let it go.
people".
"If you agree to withdraw the troops immediately, how about we release them immediately?" Yu Xipeng felt relieved, thinking that he had made a great contribution!
Mrs. Wan glanced at her mouth and said: "I agree, but I must release Sha Dingzhou first, otherwise there will be no discussion. I'm sorry you can't be the master. Go back and ask your master." After saying that, he turned around and left! Yu Xipeng
Cursing secretly, he turned around and returned to the city. After hearing this, Mu Tianbo was unable to make a decision and discussed with Wu Zhaoyuan, but no one dared to make the decision, because no one wanted to take responsibility.
As for the siege of the city, this possibility is very high. He thinks that he knows that this is the time when Prince Mu's palace is facing the most internal and external troubles. Otherwise, how can he negotiate peace with him? If he waits for him to finish packing up Wu Bikui and fortify Zhang Xianzhong, he will immediately settle the score with him. Then
What can you do to resist yourself!
Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain! Even if the Wan family agrees to withdraw the troops for thirty miles, Mu Tianbo will not let Sha Dingzhou go. The reason why he engages in peace talks is actually to trick the Wan family into retreating so that he can send people out of the city to report the news, because he has calculated that as long as
If Sha Dingzhou and Tang Jingbin are released, they will definitely not retreat!
Wan's side probably wanted to trick him into letting him go, and people who were on guard against him broke out to report the news.
Everyone knows each other well, but they have no choice but to waste it, but no one seems to be able to afford it!
After going around in a circle, it became a dead end again!
"You went over and told that witch that she should withdraw ten miles from the soup-gathering guests and thirty miles from the deserted island. Otherwise, there will be no more talks and everything will be dead!" Mu Tianbo gritted his teeth. He decided to make a desperate move. He also had some people on his side.
A trump card! For example, what if the frontline soldiers and horses notice something strange and return to the army? And the most important point is that there are still thousands of young men in the city who can also be used as spearmen after simple training!
Yu Xipeng went down to discuss with Wan again. This time he was very firm, but Wan was even more determined than him. He turned away and left, saying: "If we can't negotiate, we'll fight. In the worst case, the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
Let them fight. If peace talks are not possible, then let's do it! Mu Tianbo also made a fuss. Although Wu Zhaoyuan and others did not agree, they had nothing to do, so they turned their attention to city defense and war preparations, while mobilizing the people to transport war preparation supplies.
Going to the city, allocating the best men for training, if you don't sharpen your sword quickly before the battle, it will be a waste!
After looking at the actions in the city from the top of the mountain, Wan felt very complicated. She didn't expect Mu Tianbo to be so stubborn and really wanted to fight her to the death. This made her regret a little, but she thought that Ruan Yunjia's reinforcements would arrive as soon as tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
, at that time, a large force should besieged the city and fight first to let Mu Tianbo feel the pressure before we talk. The old saying is true, if you can’t get something on the battlefield, don’t expect to get it at the negotiation table. The bargaining chips on the negotiation table come from the strength on the battlefield!
Since there is nothing to talk about, let’s have a fight! The two parties simply abandoned the idea of negotiating and fought with all their strength to let the other party have a taste of their own power!
As a result, each of them was busy outside the city. Wan was cutting wood and making weapons while waiting for reinforcements, while Mu Tianbo was training young men to go to the city to prepare for war. The two sides were gearing up for the moment of war. As for when the war would begin? Sha Dingzhou's reinforcements
The battle will begin as soon as they arrive!
There is not much time left for Mu Tianbo, two days at most!
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Mu Tianbo did not wait for any return troops to come to the front line, but the people from Sha Tianzhou came. Ruan Yunjia sent thousands of soldiers and horses to help in the battle!
Thousands or tens of thousands?
On the top of the south gate city, Mu Tianbo put down the telescope in his hand and looked a little solemn. Rebel reinforcements were approaching from the south more than ten miles away. At a glance, he could see overwhelming mountains and plains. The chieftains were already fighting for the people when they were free.
Bing, as one of the top chieftains in Yunnan, has thousands of standing troops. He has been well prepared for this major event and it can be said that he has used all his troops!
What is supposed to come will eventually come! If you want to fight, just fight! Mu Tianbo gritted his teeth at the top of the city. Although starting a fight might lead to unimaginable serious consequences, he was holding back the fire in his heart and wanted to take the opportunity to severely beat these rebels and let them
Knowing who is the boss in Yunnan, and once the war starts, it is also beneficial from a certain perspective. The bigger the noise, the farther it will spread. Soon the surrounding people will know that there is a war here, so the news can be spread to other places. There is no need to spread the news directly.
When we get to the front line, as long as Wuding and Anning know about it, they will definitely send reinforcements.
"Thieves, open your eyes wide and see how my father-in-law will turn rebels like you into dust!" Mu Tianbo pulled Sha Dingzhou's hair and slapped him several times. Sha Dingzhou was not dead yet, but he also
He was almost dead. He was hung for three days not because of his toughness, but because Mu Tianbo couldn't let him die easily. Every few hours he would put him down for a while and then hang him up again. Life on the precipice was worse than death!
Sha Dingzhou was speechless at this time, but he tried hard to squeeze out a smile, mocking? Wry smile?
