Chapter two hundred and seventieth, the lady still loves me
Ren Songde asked Mu Shujian to send a group of soldiers to test the Xuan army, and Mu Shujian agreed.
That night he sent 300 cavalry around to the flank of the Xuanjun camp and launched a surprise attack.
Since the beginning of the war, Mu Shujian has not won a single battle. If he wins this battle, it will prove that Daxuan really intends to sue for peace. Mu Shujian not only saved his territory, but also made a great contribution to the country of Tunu.
It doesn't matter if you lose, you will lose 300 cavalry. After the battle is over, just kill Ren Songde.
Ren Songde's idea was to test Xu Zhiqiong's ability through this battle and see if he could make the prince stop fighting.
Although Ren Songde had always looked down on Xu Zhiqiong, he knew in his heart that Xu Zhiqiong played a big role behind this war.
Xu Zhiqiong had a unique status in the prince's heart, which was why he made his first move on Xu Zhiqiong.
If he can really get the prince to cease the war, peace negotiations will be a success.
If the prince refuses to cease fighting, Ren Songde also has a way to escape.
After receiving the news of the raid, Xuanjun, who had rested for a long time, could not wait to fight.
However, Chu Xin ordered the troops to retreat and gave up a large area of camp on the flank.
This made the soldiers very angry. Giving up the camp was not just as simple as giving up a few tents. All the fortifications in the camp were also burned down by Tu Nu.
What's more important is that this battle was humiliating. Three hundred slaves were killed in the army camp, as if they were in a deserted land. This was undoubtedly a serious humiliation for the Xuan army.
Fortunately, Chu Xin had a high prestige, and after some hard persuasion, he calmed down the anger of the soldiers.
Tunu's cavalry returned to the city victoriously. The lord Mu Shujian was overjoyed and held a banquet for Ren Songde all night long:
"Ren Guo Gong, after this battle, it shows that your country is willing to seek peace. However, there is one thing that I can't understand. Ten years ago, your army was seeking peace because your emperor was trapped in Yunwo City. Now your army is
I have the upper hand everywhere and I am seeking peace again, but why?”
Ren Songde smiled and said: "I, Emperor Zhaoxing, don't like war. Tunu and Daxuan are originally allies. The cause of this war was a misunderstanding. At this point in the war, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Why bother to get entangled in a dispute over an inch of land and ruin the two alliances?"
good."
Mu Shujian still had some doubts, as Ren Songde's reasons were not sufficient.
Ren Songde signaled Uncle Mu to retreat, and told another truth: "It is not the emperor's army that is attacking your country, but the prince's army. The emperor does not want the prince to continue fighting."
Mu Shujian was still worried: "Since this is not the emperor's army, I believe the emperor will not show mercy. If I send troops to annihilate the Xuan army, your emperor will not care either."
Ren Songde nodded and said: "If the lord of the vassal wants to send troops, he must be more decisive and must not make any more temptations. Otherwise, when the prince is on guard, it will be difficult for your country to win again."
Mu Shujian nodded and said: "Of course I understand the principles of the art of war, but you didn't bring a peace letter. This matter of peace negotiation..."
Ren Songde said: "Your Majesty is not in front of the battle, and I dare not make a peace treaty without authorization. Xuanguo's sincerity is right in front of me. If the great feudal lord is willing to send an envoy to our capital of Xuanguo to negotiate a peace together, after the peace treaty is finalized, the prince will meet
Withdraw your troops immediately and your country will never lose an inch of its land."
"Shall I send a mission?" Mu Shujian shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. This matter must be reported to the Emperor Ming!"
Ren Songde sighed: "Changes will happen if it is too late. I hope the lord of the feudal lord will make a decision soon!"
That night, Mu Shujian sent a letter to King Tunu. Tunu did not have a Yin-Yang Division, but there were Yin-Yang cultivators. Qingge City was also close to the capital of Tunu, so he sent the letter the next day.
King Tunu was more decisive than Mu Shujian. With the peace negotiation ten years ago and the information collected by spies, he was convinced of Daxuan's idea of suing for peace.
He sent Prince An Luofeng to Qingge City with a delegation of thirty people, and followed Ren Songde to Wanganjing to discuss peace.
Ren Songde burst into tears with gratitude: "Since His Highness is willing to go there in person, it will be a success immediately!"
A hundred thousand troops were outside the city, and Prince An Luofeng was filled with fear.
Before leaving, he specifically told Mu Shujian: "After I arrive in the capital, I will discuss a peace treaty with Emperor Xuan Quan. Once the negotiation is complete, you will immediately send troops to annihilate the Xuan army."
Mu Shujian said: "Your Highness is still in the capital of Xuanguo. If I send troops hastily, something might happen to Your Highness."
"I received a secret report from a spy. The emperor and the prince of Xuanquan have turned against each other. The emperor of Xuanquan does not dare to kill me, but the prince of Xuanquan is a tough guy. He may not be willing to negotiate for peace. The prince is now in a dilemma. At this time,
This is a good opportunity to kill the enemy."
On the same day, An Luofeng set off for Wang'anjing with Ren Songde.
On the way, Ren Songde drafted a peace letter and gave it to An Luofeng. The main content of the peace letter was: Xuan Guo gave up all the territory it captured, immediately withdrew its troops, and only asked for a ceasefire between the two countries.
Unconditionally return the Southern Royal Province to the country of Tunu. Considering Tunu's poverty, it is also stated in the book that some money and food can be given to Tunu.
The conditions are so good, but the prince will not appreciate it.
An Luofeng didn't read the book and threw it to his subordinates: "We'll talk about it when we get to the capital."
Ren Songde looked embarrassed and said: "Your Highness, if you think there is something wrong, please ask for permission. As long as you can agree to it, I, Emperor Daxuan, can do it..."
An Luofeng sneered and said: "Go faster, I am negotiating peace with your emperor, and I have no intention of listening to you!"
…
Xu Zhiqiong brought Xia Hu to Luzhou and moved into the small courtyard he bought for Qian Limu.
Including the pot of merit he ate recently, Xu Zhiqiong has eaten 2,999 golden beans, and he will be promoted to the sixth rank.
The process of being reborn and reborn is a very dangerous process. Xu Zhiqiong must rely on Qian Limu to survive the promotion safely.
But Qian Limu refused to leave the northern border, so Xu Zhiqiong had no choice but to come to Luzhou with his wife to complete his promotion.
Qian Limu took out the big pot, and Li Muliang, the envoy of the Yonglu Punishment Department, also came to help and brought dozens of medicinal materials to Xu Zhiqiong.
After the fire was lit and the water boiled, it was time for Xu Zhiqiong to get into the pot.
Xu Zhiqiong unbuttoned his clothes and said, "Madam, I'll take them off!"
Xia Hu turned around: "Who wants to see what you are doing?"
Xu Zhiqiong stripped off his skin and put it into the soup pot. Qian Limu brought a golden bean and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong: "Good brother, look at your fortune."
After eating this merit pill, he just made up three thousand. Xu Zhiqiong felt a cramp in his stomach and had an urge to vomit.
But the golden bean was stuck in his throat and could not go up or down. Xu Zhiqiong rolled his eyes and fainted.
Xia Hu stepped forward to support Xu Zhiqiong, fearing that he would slip and fall into the soup: "Brother Qian, why did he faint?"
Qian Limu stood up and clapped his hands and said: "He fainted, which proves that his fortune is very good. Let him sleep well, I won't disturb you later."
After saying that, Qian Limu and Li Muliang were about to leave. Xia Hu shouted: "How do you add firewood? How do you add water? You all left, but you left us here?"
Qian Limu said: "Add a piece of firewood and two ladles of water every hour. My brothers and sisters must not remember the wrong time. I will help him collect some medicinal materials when I go out."
Xia Hu said angrily: "We have traveled thousands of miles to come to you, and you just deal with us like this?"
Qian Limu was also annoyed: "I've given you the pot and medicinal materials, what else do you want? He will have to survive for at least a few days, but I'll keep guarding him here."
You are his wife, you take care of him here, if anything happens, just go to me!"
Xia Hu said: "Where should I find you? You said you were going to buy medicinal materials. Should I go to Goulan or the medicine shop?"
Qian Limu pursed his lips and said, "There are also people selling medicinal materials in Goulan."
Li Muliang testified: "Good medicines are made from the finest medicinal materials! Once you take them, they are effective and can last for two hours!"
Qian Limu and Li Muliang left. Xia Hu supported Xu Zhiqiong and stayed by the iron pot.
Silly boy, you can survive this.
You still want to support me, as you promised.
…
Five days later, with the help of the yin and yang magic circle, An Luofeng, the prince of Tunu, led a team of envoys and followed Ren Songde to the capital.
Before entering the city, Ren Songde verified the whereabouts of Elder Shengwei again.
Hearing that the prince had suffered his first defeat, Liang Jixiong rushed to the front line in a hurry. He had been gone for three days and he probably would not be back in the short term.
Ren Songde was afraid, he was really afraid. He knew Liang Jixiong's strength and also knew Liang Jixiong's temper.
If Liang Jixiong knew that he had brought Prince Tunu to Daxuan, he would immediately chop Ren Songde into pieces.
After confirming that Liang Jixiong was not there, Ren Songde led the Tunu delegation into the city from the north gate and rode all the way to the palace.
Daxuan and Tunu were fighting. When they saw the blond and blue-eyed Tunu people, the people did not understand what was happening and watched on both sides of the road.
"Why is Tunu here?"
"Didn't the prince win the battle? Didn't he defeat them all and save them nothing?"
"Have they reached the capital?"
"Hurry back and pack your things, don't let Tu Nu snatch it away."
"Sending my daughter to the countryside, all slaves are made of beasts, and I have ruined countless girls in the north!"
The people pointed and pointed, and An Luofeng showed a smile.
He picked up his riding crop, pointed it at a man carrying a basket of oranges, and whipped him.
The man fell to the ground on the spot, leaving a trace of blood on his face and oranges spilled on the floor.
The people screamed in surprise and dispersed in a hurry.
The man's wife hugged her husband and cried loudly.
An old man stepped forward and shouted: "This is our Daxuan territory. Why do you beat people in Daxuan's territory? Beat our Xuan people!"
"The dog blocking the road!" An Luofeng spat, raised his horse's hoof, and splashed snow on the old man's face.
Upon seeing this, Ren Songde ordered his men: "Blow the gong and disperse the idle people! Make way for the Datunu envoy!"
