Dugu Jing heard that Xie Xun meant that he was willing to negotiate for peace. However, the Ningzhou Cavalry did not formally agree to the matter. He waited until the evening before the Ningzhou Cavalry sent someone to talk about the peace talks. The army directly negotiated at the battle site. Dugu Jing and Xie
Jue each led a thousand men to negotiate peace in the valley south of the battle site.
This terrain is obviously conducive to the Ningzhou cavalry. It is very easy for Xie Jue to set up an ambush, which will definitely make Dugu Jing unable to come back. There has been a huge quarrel within the Northern Barbarians about whether to continue the fight or to cease the war. The Northern Barbarians have been warlike for a long time.
Hoping to plunder Yanyang's resources, he led his people to move east of the Shaling River. So they fought fiercely, and the last Northern Barbarian king, the God of War, emerged from nowhere, and he was the God of War who had the greatest hope of leading the Northern Barbarians across the Shaling River.
Therefore, at that time, the Northern Barbarians were passionate, brave, and fearless. Today, Dugu Jing is also a powerful young wolf. After so many years of war and Xie Jue's estrangement, some tribes of the Northern Barbarians have gradually withered away and are not willing to participate in the war. Especially this one
One time they raised troops very hastily and poorly prepared.
Xie Jue dragged on the project of that important town, but it has not been completed yet, which made Dugu Jing dissatisfied. He negotiated several times, but Xie Jue still delayed the construction period. This winter is extremely cold north of Ningzhou, and the northern barbarians are even more icy and snowy.
The horses were frozen to death, let alone the people. The Northern Barbarians asked Yanyang for help, hoping that Yanyang could provide food supplies.
Xie Jue gave the Northern Barbarians supplies, but only half of what Dugu Jing asked for. Xie Jue did not deliberately embarrass the Northern Barbarians. The Ningzhou Cavalry was preparing for war and could only give so much. He was familiar with the Northern Barbarians' population, resources, and these food supplies.
It will be enough for them to last until next spring.
Dugu Jing has long known that the Yanyang court and Ningzhou have broken apart. This kind of news cannot be concealed. They have special intelligence channels. Small information may be concealed. Of course, such news that is known to the whole country cannot be concealed. Dugu Jingyi
Years ago, he sharpened his sword and wanted to go to war with Ningzhou.
However, the Northern Barbarians also had great internal conflicts, with insufficient food, constant internal disputes, and intensified conflicts among various tribes. Dugu Jing could only suppress the various internal tribes first.
When Kong took action, he missed the best opportunity to attack Ningzhou. The best opportunity for the Northern Barbarians to attack Ningzhou was within a year after Xie Jue and Xie Xun rebelled against Ningzhou. Natural and man-made disasters continued, and the imperial court and Ningzhou were in conflict.
If the situation worsens, it is a good time for the Northern Barbarians to send troops. If you miss the opportunity, you must wait patiently.
This time, Dugu Jing sent troops because of Yu Wenjing's promise. Sang Nan sent troops to attack the twelve states. Although the Northern Barbarians were not well prepared, they were a little hasty. They could only last for half a year, so they had to fight quickly. Dugu Jing planned to do it before spring.
Ningzhou was captured, so the siege was very fierce at the beginning, and they tried their best to defeat the core force of Ningzhou cavalry.
He almost succeeded!
When Sang Nan raised troops, the twelve states had no time to take care of themselves. If they wanted to protect Ningzhou, they would have to give up the twelve states. If they wanted to protect the twelve states, they would not be able to defend Ningzhou.
This is the biggest dilemma the Xie brothers encountered.
Who would have known that the magistrate of Lanzhou rebelled against the enemy's orders and closed the city, forcing the Jiangnan garrison to send troops to resist Sangnan. Jiangnan helped Ningzhou cavalry block the attack from the south.
"Idiot!" Dugu Jing scolded Yu Wenjing countless times in the military tent, "Incompetent, a useless piece of trash!"
Back then, he and Yu Wenjing joined forces and almost wiped out the whole family of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Dugu Jing's original goal was that all the men in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion must die at that wedding banquet. As a result, Xie Jue and Xie Xun were alive, and Dugu Jing listened.
When I heard the news, I called Yu Wenjing a waste, but he actually let the tiger return to the mountain.
The Xie brothers will definitely turn against him when they return to Ningzhou. If Xie Xun ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will definitely devour the Northern Barbarians and tear up the armistice agreement.
With such a good opportunity and a dragnet, he was unable to kill Xie Jue and Xie Xun, even if only Xie Xun was left alive, he actually let Xie Jue live.
On that one cooperation, Yu Wenjing was not as good as expected, so he shouldn't trust him.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wenjing could not control the Jiangnan garrison this time. If he had not known that Yu Wenjing and the Xie brothers had a deep hatred, Dugu Jing would have suspected that Yu Wenjing deliberately joined forces with the Xie brothers to kill him.
Today, a ceasefire is the best decision.
Dugu Jing also figured out that he should not intervene in the internal fighting in Yanyang. Yu Wenjing and Xie Jue were fighting fiercely. No matter who won, the situation in Yanyang would be in turmoil for a few years. That was his best
He was given the opportunity to send troops, but now he listened to Yu Wenjing's trick and believed that he could win. He wasted the opportunity and sacrificed countless soldiers. It was his decision that made the mistake.
This was a painful experience, so he had to cut his losses.
Feng Yu was not surprised to know that Xie Jue agreed to the peace talks. Xie Jue acted resolutely and sent a letter to Dugu Jing and made an appointment with Dugu Jing for negotiations the next day.
In this peace negotiation, in order to avoid Dugujing's deception, Xie Jue originally did not want Feng Yu to go. After all, Xie Xun's current body is that of Feng Yu, so it would be difficult if something happened.
However, Xie Xun is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. If he is not present, the negotiation will appear very informal. The negotiation document requires Xie Xun to put his fingerprints in person, and Xie Jue cannot replace him.
Feng Yu said, "Second brother, I'm going. Dugu Jing has put down his pride. He doesn't dare to cheat in this peace negotiation."
After much hesitation, Xie Jue agreed with Feng Yu to go. He told Fang Chuning that he must protect him. Fang Chuning smiled ambiguously and said, "That's natural. Ting Feng sacrificed himself for his younger brother, so I, the general, will naturally protect him well."
Feng Yu, "?"
Xie Jue's expression did not change, and he began to order several generals to set up defenses at the peace talks. Feng Yu looked at Fang Chuning's face that couldn't hide the smile, and she always felt that he was like a wolf who couldn't wait to mate in the spring.
If it were really Xie Xun, I would probably fight him.
Feng Yu just looked like she was watching a show, and Fang Chuning looked at her several times. Feng Yu really couldn't play Xie Xun's temper, and besides, her second brother was still here, what's the matter?
It must be the second brother who is behind it, so she doesn't have to continue playing Xie Xun's role.
The next day, the wind was calm and the sun was shining brightly in Ningzhou. The spring scenery was bright, the grass was luxuriant, there were flocks of cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the military tents were lined up. It was very spectacular. This was the first time for Feng Yu to see the battlefield from a height. It was a unique scene. Such a scenery
Although it was good, she couldn't help but feel depressed when she thought about the rivers of blood flowing during the battle.
It’s great to have a truce!
No one has to fight again!
Dugu Jing led his soldiers to the scene on time. This time he did not bring the Northern Barbarian priests. He only had a commander and several generals. A thousand Northern Barbarian soldiers were stationed outside.
The tent set up in the negotiation area blocked the fierce sunlight. The tent was half-open and simply placed with seats. Feng Yu sat at the main seat, Xie Jue and Fang Chuning sat on the left side, and there were three chairs on the right for the northern barbarians. Fei Ying
They had their own soldiers standing guard. When Dugu Jing arrived at the scene, a military doctor from the Ningzhou Cavalry searched and inspected them. Weapons and other miscellaneous items were not allowed to be brought to the negotiation table.
Xie Jue and Feng Yu both had lingering fears about the poison, and would not make that mistake again.
Dugu Jing was very cooperative and looked at Xie Xun with cold eyes. Xie Xun was really his lifelong enemy. He had not died in Kyoto three years ago. Dugu Jing knew that Xie Xun would be the biggest line of defense in Ningzhou. He wanted to lead
The Northern Barbarians must defeat Xie Xun if they climb the Shaling Tianshan Mountains.
After he brought two generals to greet Xie Jue, he sat opposite Xie Jue and Fang Chuning. Dugu Jing glanced at Xie Jue.
I was lucky enough to survive.
"You are well, Ninth Prince." Feng Yu said calmly, "We don't have any friendship to talk about, so let's get straight to the topic. I hope that we can reach an agreement today and resolve it quickly."
