There is no obstacle to self-righteousness
Zhang Yan looked very carefully, he had already learned Liu Yi's use of troops in the first battle of Jinan, and after reading this letter, he had to admit that Liu Hengzhi was indeed both civil and military, and his literary talent was definitely not under the martial arts. To be honest, Zhang Yan's heart was moved, of course, not simply because of Liu Yi's style, but the kind of sincerity shown throughout the article, and no matter whether he went to negotiate or not, he would talk about the 8,000 prisoners of the Battle of Anping and return it to him, which is not only a kind of generosity and sincerity, but Liu Yi's self-confidence can also be seen behind it.
In the letter, Lang Sheng did not hide the chaos in Luoyang, but also pointed out more tactfully that if Zhang Yan continued, the attack of the Han army would not be greatly affected, and the continuation of the battle situation would definitely be unfavorable to the Montenegrin army. If this is said to others, even Zhu Zhonglang and Zhang Yan will scoff at it, but he knows that Liu Yi is by no means a big talker, his atmosphere is based on one victory after another, and the previous battle situation has also proved this, and the combat power of the Han army in Anping is undoubtedly revealed.
"Hey, why don't you show Captain Zhang tea?" After a while, Zhang Yan, who read the letter, raised his head, and when he saw that the desk in front of Zhang Shibai was empty, he couldn't help frowning and said to the left and right, at first he had some opinions about Zhang Shiba's rank, just a captain, but after reading the letter, of course he wouldn't think so, Zhang Shiba's rank was lower, but he could be said to be the closest person to Liu Yi.
As soon as Zhang Yan said something, he immediately offered fragrant tea to Zhang Shiba, and then he asked: "Just now Zhang Mou is looking at the champion Hou Zhixin, and he is lazy, but he doesn't know that the champion Hou Ke still has other words."
"Zhang Shuai is polite, he did say something about the rebellious general before he came, and he didn't want to meet Zhang Shuai until he had to." Zhang Shibawei bowed and said, following Liu Yi for a long time, his etiquette is perfect.
"Champion Hou has already read the letter from Zhang, but the matter is too big to discuss with the generals, so I asked Captain Zhang to stay in this Anyang City for a day, and tomorrow Zhang will definitely give a reply to the rebellious general." Zhang Yan said with a smile after hearing the words and groaning for a while, he also had to make sufficient preparations for the conversation with Liu Yi.
"This is the proper meaning, even so, Zhang did not disturb Zhang Shuai's discussion, so he left first." Zhang Shibai got up and said when he heard this, thinking in his heart that the general and Mr. Zhang were indeed like gods, and all Zhang Yan's reactions today were expected.
"Okay, first of all, please Captain Zhang and you to rest, you need to be entertained well and there must be no slack." Zhang Yan bowed his head, and then also explained to his entourage, and he couldn't be rude at this time.
Seeing off Zhang 18 here, Zhang Yan gathered the generals to discuss the matter, originally just after the Anping War lost 20,000 horses and the fierce general Menghu, he was a little worried that the people under his command would have objections, but after Liu Yi's letter was read out, he could clearly see their position from the eyes of everyone, that is, they were in favor. First, what Liu Yi said was reasonable and well-founded, and secondly, his undefeated prestige gave too much deterrence to the generals, especially in the Battle of Anping, who would have expected that Meng Hu would lead 20,000 soldiers to defend for less than ten days.
"Dashuai, since Liu Lang is like this, he is also sincere, in my opinion, Dashuai can go and talk to him, Liu Lang is not someone else, he is really a man of his word, and he will never do anything in secret." After a while, Deputy Marshal Zhang Hua was the first to speak, even if there was the Luoyang Rebellion in his heart, he did not have much confidence in the future battle situation, because Liu Langsheng definitely had the ability to suppress the hearts of the Han army.
"I think the deputy marshal is too afraid of Liu Yi by saying this, right? Or is your shadow right next to peace? Dashuai, isn't it a contradiction for Liu Yi to just take Anping but say that he doesn't want to meet with Dashuai? Now that the emperor of the Han Dynasty has died, it is the time for our army. As soon as Zhang Hua's voice fell, many generals were all bowed their heads to approve, but at this time, another voice sounded, and everyone saw that it was Qu Shuai Wei Ming.
"Hehe, what Wei Qushuai said is not bad, then Liu Lang has won a hundred battles since he started the army, and it was the great sage and the good teacher and Bo Shuai who were defeated in his hands, Zhang is afraid and not ashamed, so what if Anping County changed Wei Qushuai but didn't know what would happen? Liu Lang said in the letter that no matter how the commander decides, he will return the 8,000 captives. Wouldn't this show his sincerity, and even so, what was wrong with the marshal talking to him. Zhang Hua asked with a sneer.
"Wei Qushuai, you haven't seen Xiao Lang fight in the mountains for a long time, but if you look at Yang Qushuai and General Zhang Qin, if Liu Lang is not trustworthy, how can the two of them be like this? Some people in our army have also received letters from Yan County, and some people have returned from there, and they will not know what Wei Qushuai said. Without waiting for Wei Ming to reply, Zhao Long, another commander of the canal, said again, Liu Yi got a lot of Montenegrin prisoners in the first battle of Qinghe, and generally brought them back to Yan County, some settled there, and some were repatriated after labor, and everyone knew about it.
After that, two more Qu Shuai spoke out one after another, the situation in Yanjun is evidenced by the words of their own people, of course, there is no doubt about it, and no one has done a better job than Liu Yi in treating the Yellow Turban prisoners of war. At this time, look at the tranquility of the frontier, everything is self-evident. Seeing that he had become the target of everyone, Wei Ming could only remain silent, in fact, he was not ignorant of Liu Yi's strength, at least Menghu's army was above him, so his words were also to show that he was different.
"Since everyone is like this, then Zhang will go and talk to Xiao Lang, but you and I still need to discuss the details, first of all, we must decide where I will talk to Xiao Lang?" Seeing this, Zhang Yan also smiled and said, Liu Yi said in the letter that the location was determined by him, which was another show of sincerity.
"Dashuai, it's better to choose Mengyin, thirty miles outside the city, roughly from our army and the Han army, since Liu Lang asked me to choose Dashuai, I can't lose my bearing." When Zhang Hua heard this, he said again, I have to say that Lang Sheng sent back the captives and let the other party choose the location The two things are still very beautiful.
"Thirty miles beyond the clouds?" Zhang Yan looked up at the map and bowed slightly, what Zhang Hua said was closer to the location of the Black Mountain Army, and it was also suitable for the two sides to talk, and he said at the moment: "Then according to Deputy Marshal Zhang's words, thirty miles outside Mengyin City."
"At the end of the day, I will arrange everything and accompany the marshal to see Liu Lang." Zhang Hua said and finally glanced at Wei Ming intentionally or unintentionally, which was quite provocative, didn't you say that I was afraid of Liu Lang? If you are not afraid, dare to accompany me to the big handsome?
Seeing this, Wei Ming didn't talk to him, but fortunately, Wei Ming didn't force him further, Zhang Yan said that everyone discussed the details of the negotiation again, which was quite complicated, and it was not until late at night that there was a belly case, and the next morning Zhang Yan also asked Zhang Shibai to come and inform him of the matter.
Zhang 18 received Zhang Yan's reply and immediately returned to Anping to report the news, in order to prevent an accident Zhang Yan also specially sent a cavalry escort of 100 people, Liu Yi did not hesitate after receiving the message, and took Zhang Hu, Xu Huang and others and the 7,000 prisoners of war to Mengyin at the appointed time.
After arranging the location, Zhang Yan sent people to set up a tent thirty miles outside the city early in the morning, and he specially arrived half an hour early to show his sincerity. When the time came, Liu Yi arrived a moment earlier, followed by a long queue of captives, Zhang Yan saw quite clearly, almost all the captives were not abused, and the injured brothers were also properly settled......
"Liu is rebellious, Zhang has been looking up for a long time, it was too far away under Qinghe City that day, and I just saw the general's demeanor today." Seeing Liu Yi coming, Zhang Yan led the generals to greet him, and when he got closer, he hugged his fists and said with a smile on the horse, speaking of which, this is also the first real meeting between the two.
"Zhang Shuai is polite, Yi has also been friends with Zhang Shuai for a long time, and the previous Anping prisoners of war are all here, and I ask Zhang Shuai to accept them first." Liu Yi also replied with a fist, and treated Zhang Yan very politely.
"Liu is a true believer, if it is not for the affairs of the two armies, it is also a joy in the world to be friends with the general." Zhang Yan said happily when he heard this, there were only dozens of people on both sides, even so, Liu Yi still said that if he returned all the more than 7,000 prisoners of war to himself, wouldn't this open-mindedness be admirable?
"Hehe, Zhang Shuai has this intention, Yi also has this intention, I hope you and I don't have to meet again after a while today." Liu Yi smiled heartily and said along with the other party's words, this big mess is first of all busy with the business and merger of the state, he will not care about the affairs of Montenegro anymore, and he is happy to be a favor with Zhang Yan. As for convincing the other party, it is not his goal today, and leaving the Montenegrin army will be beneficial to the situation in the future.
"What the general said is that he also asked for tea in the tent." Hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled and gently took the war horse away, and the generals behind him did the same, so he stretched out his hand and said solemnly.
"Zhang Shuai, please." Liu Yi beat the horse and walked as soon as he said a word, and he also made eye contact with the Yellow Turban generals, and now Lang Sheng is calm and generous without the slightest murderous aura, but he does not dare to slack off in the eyes of everyone.
When Zhang Yan arrived at the tent, Zhang Yan ordered someone to bring fragrant tea to Liu Yi and others, and the two sides also introduced each other with their entourage, and the former picked up the tea in his hand and said: "Yan has thanked the rebellious general with this tea, and the general's letter Yan has read it, and what he said is also beneficial to the two people, and he also asked Liu to disobey and say it clearly."
Liu Yi held the tea and smiled, took a sip and put the tea cup on the table before he calmly said: "As far as the Han is concerned, you are all rebellious people......
Zhang Yan and the others were cold when they heard this, no one expected Liu Lang to open like this, and they were faintly angry, although they were inconvenient because of Liu Yi's prestige, they also looked cold.
But in Yi's eyes, it may not be the case, before the chaos, the ministers and relatives of the DPRK and the Central Government competed with each other, the government was corrupted, the people were not happy, and every time there was a tragedy in the world that changed children and ate them, they would die, but there might be a way to live. At this time, General Tiangong ascended to the heights and called out millions of responders, saying that it was official coercion - it is not untrue that the people are rebelling, and it is understandable that you are enemies of the imperial court in the eyes of Yi. Liu Yi still looked at each of the Black Mountain generals indifferently, and only after a moment did he continue to say, it was indeed the same in his heart.
"What Liu said was that we had no choice but to wait back then." Listening to Liu Yi's words again, everyone felt a lot better, and the rebellious general still dared to speak out, and what he said was all facts, which made his sincerity obvious, and there was no sympathy in his tone, Zhang Yan also said with his head in his mouth.
