When the news spread from Jingzhou to Donghai, Nohara Huo felt quite anxious.
In the northwest, Cheng Dalei changed his strategy and launched an all-out war against the Rong soldiers and horses. But here in the East China Sea, the two sides were well prepared but did not start a head-on battle. They were still in the stage of stabbing each other.
In this regard, neither side has benefited, but only consumed each other.
At this time, Cheng Dalei had already begun to take action to contain No Yuan Huo's troops. This prevented No Yuan Huo from concentrating on the current battle and still had to divide his troops to restrain Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai are both difficult enemies.
We must start a front-on battle with Li Xingzai as soon as possible. If we continue to waste our lives like this, we cannot afford to delay it.
While the two sides were stabbing each other, the superficial peace talks were still continuing. Everyone slapped the table and stared at the negotiating table. Neither of them had any intention of peace talks, but they had no choice but to continue.
At this time, a letter was delivered to Li Xingzai from the Rong camp. After reading the letter, Li Xingzai pondered for a long time and called everyone to discuss matters together.
Qi Jiguang and others saw Li Xingzai's gloomy face and didn't know what happened. Li Xingzai was silent for a long time before he said, "Nohara Hu asked me to meet."
Everyone was stunned, their heads were confused, as if they were falling into clouds and fog.
Li Xingzai's next words surprised everyone.
"Ma Chao was captured by them."
Ma Mengqi was sent by Li Xingzai to perform tasks behind the enemy's rear as a surprise force. After that, he cut off contact with Li Xingzai, thinking that he also knew that he was engaged in burning, killing and looting behind the Rong tribe.
Originally, he was sent out as a lone soldier. From the beginning, it was a road with no return.
Even if Ma Mengqi died on the battlefield, Li Xingzai would not be too surprised. But unexpectedly, he did not die on the battlefield, but was captured alive by Nohara Huo.
"Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this?" Qi Jiguang asked.
Li Xingzai shook his head: "There is also Ma Mengqi's weapon with the letter. This matter is 100% sure and there will be no problems."
Everyone fell silent. As a general, he would rather lose his head than lose his weapon. What's more, it is a person like Ma Mengqi. Now it seems that Ma Mengqi has indeed fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Now there is a handle for Nohara Huo to seize.
"Your Majesty, what is the intention of the Rong tribe in sending this letter?" Qi Jiguang asked.
"Nohara Hui asked me to meet and exchange hostages."
"Exchanging hostages, but we don't have any of their hostages in our hands?" Qi Jiguang said in surprise. At this point in the fight between the two armies, Li Xingzai had also captured many prisoners, but he did not say who could compare with Ma Chao.
Li Xingzai shook his head: "He just said he wanted to meet with me and then return the hostages."
"Is there... could there be fraud in this?" Qi Jiguang asked.
"I am also thinking about this matter." Li Xingzai frowned and thought hard: "We have had many dealings with the Rong people. Nohara Huo is obviously a master who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. How could he give us such a big deal so easily this time?
Cheap."
Everyone was thinking about this matter. After a while, Song Youqu said: "It seems that meeting with His Majesty is very important to him."
"Is it important?" Li Xingzai waved his hand: "I rule the world, and there are countless people who want to meet me. Why do I want to meet him?"
At this time, Li Xingzai couldn't help but joke. I have to say that his words really lifted the clouds in everyone's minds. With such a leader, it seems that everyone can always see hope.
Li Xingzai has gone through too many things. No matter how desperate the situation is, he cannot lose his spirit as a human being.
There were also some smiles on everyone's faces, Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty is determined to sacrifice Ma Mengqi?"
Li Xingzai waved his hand: "It's easy to get a thousand armies, but it's hard to find a general. What's more, if he is willing to take refuge in me, he can trust me. Of course I want to save his life. In this way, it is inevitable to meet Nohara Huo."
Something that works.”
Song Youqu nodded knowingly and said: "My subordinates are responsible for negotiating with the Rong people to determine the time and place, and we must protect your majesty's safety."
Li Xingzai waved his hands casually, leaning on his chair, his eyes serious, and he was deep in thought.
Qi Jiguang and others gradually left, each busy with their own affairs, while Song Youqu began to take action to prepare for the meeting between Li Xingzai and Nohara Huo.
Li Xingzai was alone, thinking about this incident constantly. He had fought against Nohara Hui more than once, and both sides were familiar with each other's fighting styles.
Nohara Huo wanted to see Li Xingzai, and Li Xingzai was not curious. However, the two armies were fighting, and as the commanders, they might not be able to see each other even if they killed each other.
But this time, Nohara Huo suddenly appeared and made an appointment to meet Li Xingzai.
This thing is really strange.
Li Xingzai squinted his eyes and thought hard in his heart, but he had no idea.
Could it be that this Nohara Huo is my admirer? He heard that I am handsome and graceful, so he couldn't wait to see me.
After thinking about it, Li Xingzai concluded that this was the most likely possibility.
So far, both sides have stood still, and there have been a lot less back-stabbing incidents. This is because both armies are preparing for this meeting. It has always been the rule that the king will not see the king. And this meeting between the coaches of both sides is not only for the two
It was of great importance to the army, and it was a major event to the entire empire.
Because both parties were interested in promoting this matter, a preliminary agreement was quickly reached, and the meeting place for both parties was arranged in Fox Nagisa.
Fox Nagisa is a piece of land in the center of the river. Now the south of the river is controlled by Li Xingzai's army, and the north of the river is occupied by Nohara Hu. We arranged to meet here to avoid setting up an ambush on both sides.
After all, no matter who kills whom on both sides, it will be fatal to each other.
There is another legend about Fox Nagisa. It is said that there is a thousand-year-old fox demon who was chased by immortals and fled into the river when he was desperate. Only half of the fox tail floated on the river. As time passed, it became a small piece of land in the middle of the river.
The time was about three days later, and it was agreed that apart from Nohara Huo and Li Xingya, both parties could only bring one person with them.
On this day, the wind was calm and the sun was shining, which was rare good weather in the East China Sea.
Li Xingzai entered the water in a small boat, and the person holding the pole was Xu Wentian. With his personal protection, the Rong tribe had enough ability to deal with it even if they were a little cautious.
The river breeze slowly approached Fox Nagisa. At this time, a small boat was also launched on the other side of the river. On both sides of the river, there were heavy troops stationed by the two armies. But if there was any disturbance, everyone would rush over immediately, and there would inevitably be another one on the river.
Fighting in the field.
We are getting closer and closer to Fox Nagisa. At this time, it is covered with reeds. The strong wind blows, and the reed leaves are fragrant.
Li Xingzai was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery along the way, his face calm, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
