Chapter 1110: What kind of trouble is this? (1st Update)
It is said that it is not forced to buy and sell, but Shen Xi is most proficient in doing this kind of thing, before he negotiated "free trade" with the Franc man, and as a result, he successively pit several warships and a large number of Franc machine guns, and also introduced two high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and corn for the Ming Dynasty; Shen Xi also exchanged with Xie Qian, and then Xie Qian lost his granddaughter.

Although Shen Xi was completely passive in the current war, he took the initiative on the issue of prisoners of war and could open his mouth to the lion of Awulu without fear.
"Lord Shen, since you don't have the sincerity to negotiate, then there is no need for us to continue talking...... For you people in the Ming Dynasty, the life and death of General Huo Aya is insignificant, why don't you consider your own life and interests, and put General Huo Aya back, so it is not for the benefit of others and yourself? β
Although Ah Wulu said that there was no need to continue talking, she still tried her best to persuade Shen Xi not to be obsessed.
Shen Xi said solemnly: "Mrs. Alu, this official hopes that you can understand that Huo Aya is indeed just a defeated general for us, but for you Di Yi, she can become a banner on the battlefield, put her back, and let her continue to lead the troops to attack my Daming, do you think this official will be so unwise to return a confidant for a little benefit?" β
A Wulu looked calm, as if he expected that it would not be easy to send an envoy to the Ming military camp this time.
She was now facing Shen Xi, who had defeated the invincible Tatar cavalry with almost the same number of troops. She had heard some rumors about Shen Xi, but they all described Shen Xi as a wise man who could turn things around on the battlefield, some like Zhuge Liang who captured Meng Shu in the legend, which was terrifying.
Ah Wulu was slightly disappointed: "In the concubine's mind, I thought that Lord Shen was a big hero and hero, but now I know that Lord Shen is just a villain who is a fly camp and a dog, acting in a calculating manner, just like a small person in the market, and specially putting forward some unrealistic ideas." β
"It's a pity that thousands of soldiers in this city fortress want to be buried with Lord Shen, Lord Shen has neither the heart of loyalty to the monarch to serve the country, nor the sake of the soldiers under his command, and even abandons his wife, which makes people feel embarrassed! In the eyes of the concubine, Lord Shen is irresponsibly bent on death, disloyal to the court, unfilial to the high hall, unkind to his wife and children, and unjust to the soldiers. How can such a person become an example of the three armed forces? β
The words degraded Shen Xi to worthlessness, and Shen Xi was extremely unhappy when he heard it...... You're bent on dying! The battle has not yet come to the end, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer!
But the commanders present, even the prison commander Zhang Yong, looked at Shen Xi with a changed expression.
In fact, Awulu's words were not aimed at Shen Xi, but at the generals present, to be precise, she was sowing discord, as if to say to those middle-level officers, look, it's not that I don't help you fight for a chance to live, nor do I not help you fight for a reward, we Tatars just want a female prisoner of war to go back, so we can let you leave safely, but your boss is obsessed, he doesn't say anything about his own death, and wants to pull you to be buried with you.
Zhang Yong was so anxious that he kept giving Shen Xi a look and persuading Shen Xi to agree to A Wulu's conditions.
Shen Xi turned a blind eye to it, and said to himself: "Mrs. Alu, I don't agree with what you said. The heart of a jackal, tiger and leopard, how can people live with common sense? The story of the farmer and the snake, Madame must have heard of it, right? β
Ah Wulu looked at Shen Xi and pretended to be pitiful: "Lord Shen, what do you mean by this?" We haven't done anything ungrateful, Lord Shen's analogy is inappropriate, right? β
"Isn't it appropriate? I think it's appropriate! How can Di Yi be honest? Now 50,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the city, and my Ming reinforcements are coming, and the Diyi conspiracy will be completely crushed. Under such circumstances, how could we accept any of Di Yi's offers? Shen Xi was quite confident in his words.
Because Shen Xi said something very carefully, even A Wulu began to doubt: "Could it really be such a thing?" β
A Wulu said: "But as far as the concubine knows, Da Ming has no reinforcements sent!" Lord Shen stayed in the civil fort, just closing his eyes and waiting to die! β
Shen Xi smiled and cross-examined: "Really? Since Mrs. Alu said that my Ming Dynasty did not send reinforcements, then dare to ask, isn't the reinforcement led by this official to rescue Xuanfu? The follow-up men and horses of the Ming Dynasty have now gathered in Yongguan, and there will be soldiers and horses out of the jam in the near future. β
"No matter how many people there are in Diyi, they are always not the people of Wanghua, and I have thousands of soldiers in the Heavenly Empire, which is enough to level the grassland!"
Anyway, bragging about not paying taxes, Shen Xi said that these are no longer simply to make A Wulu believe, but to boost the morale of these soldiers under his command.
What Shen Xi is most worried about now is not whether the follow-up reinforcements will come, but the fear that the soldiers and horses in the city fortress will be afraid before they fight.
Shen Xi would not believe that the Tatars would give way for him to lead his army back to Juyongguan, even if it was true, he could not do so, because this was tantamount to releasing prisoners of war against the will of the imperial court, which was tantamount to colluding with the Tatars and compromised.
Now it is not just about thinking about his own life, but also about the Shen family. Shen Xi is a person who has died once, he came to this world is a creation, and he doesn't take life and death too seriously, but he thinks that if he can save his life and go back to reunite with his wife and children, it is better than dying on the battlefield.
Shen Xi was still arguing with reason before, but in the blink of an eye, he began to talk empty words and clichΓ©s.
With Ah Wulu's wisdom, she didn't believe what Shen Xi said about the assembly of soldiers and horses at Juyong Pass, and as for thousands of soldiers stepping on the grassland, she even sneered.
You Ming Dynasty are so capable, can we beat the ground all over the ground to find teeth?
Since there are so many people in your country, how could we Mongols occupy the Central Plains and change the dynasty hundreds of years ago?
A Wulu said: "The concubine believes Lord Shen's words, but she will never agree to the conditions offered by Lord Shen. Since it can't be negotiated, the concubine decided to leave first! β
In Awulu's original plan, since she came to the Ming army camp, she must stay here and not leave, but she changed her mind after seeing Shen Xi, because she faintly felt that she had fallen into Shen Xi's trap, for fear that she would not be able to get out of the wolf's den, so she simply offered to leave.
Shen Xi frowned: "The envoy has not yet negotiated the conditions with us, where are you going?" β
Ah Wulu was even more sure that Shen Xi would not let her go easily, and immediately argued with reason: "The concubine is an envoy, and now that the two armies are fighting under the city, it is natural to go out of the city and return to the camp first, if Lord Shen has an epiphany, he can send someone outside the city at any time to discuss with the concubine!" β
Shen Xi was noncommittal, and Zhang Yong hurriedly interjected: "This Ah ...... Madame, stay for the time being, and discuss today's business again! β
Among the Han people, there are both hard-boned and groveling, and now the soft bones occupy the majority in the Tumu Fort, and Zhang Yong is one of them, because he is a helpless old eunuch who has nothing but a life, so he is more and more desperate.
Zhang Yong completely forgot that he scolded Ah Wulu like a shrew before, and what he thought at this time was that this was the aunt who could give him life, and he listened obediently when he was scolded by his aunt and grandmother, and he should be filial to the old man.
The commanders present also looked at Shen Xi eagerly at this time, hoping that Shen Xi could continue to negotiate with A Wulu for the exchange of prisoners of war, and the conditions could be appropriately relaxed.
Ah Wulu was quite proud, she could see that everyone in the city except Shen Xi was afraid of death, which showed a problem, the reinforcements gathered at Juyong Pass described by Shen Xi did not exist at all, even if Shen Xi did not agree, the people in Shen Xi's army would force Shen Xi to agree.
At that moment, she asked with a smile, "Lord Shen, is it negotiable or not?" β
Shen Xi smiled and said, "It's okay to discuss, let's talk about it in the future, come here, send Mrs. Alu out of the city!" β
"No way!"
This time, Zhang Yong directly blocked Shen Xi's military order, and his attitude was tough, "My lord, even if you are not satisfied with the conditions offered by this Lady Alu, but the Tatars are currently besieging the city, and you must not send her away, otherwise won't the defense situation in the city be leaked out by her?" Who will guarantee the safety of the city fortress? β
Shen Xi really wanted to curse, thinking that if I said that there were 50,000 horses in the Tumu Fort, the Tatars really believed that there were so many?
If the Tatars believed it, they would not have sent only 5,000 cavalry to besiege the city, and it may not be possible to fight 5,000 cavalry with 5,000 infantry, but 50,000 infantry against 5,000 cavalry, the odds of victory are still quite high, and it is nothing more than to make full use of the terrain and reduce the advantage of the Tatar cavalry in cavalry archery and charge.
Besides, the defenses in this city have been so dilapidated that the deserters who were captured by the Tatar scouts probably leaked the situation in the city very thoroughly, and they still wanted to hide it, which was pure self-deception.
Shen Xi said loudly: "Ming people don't do dark things, and this official believes in fighting openly and honestly on the battlefield. Although Lady Alu has seen the security situation in the city, there is no need to be too nervous, just let her out of the city, I want to see if Di Yi has the strength and courage to storm the fortress! β
Ah Wulu was full of doubts, and secretly wondered: "Does Shen Xi want me to go, or let me stay?" No, it's always dangerous for me to stay in the city, so it's better to go out of the city first, and find someone to send a letter to the national teacher and the Great Khan after returning to the camp, asking for their opinions, and if anything happens, I can go into the civil fort at any time to mediate with Shen Xi. If I have the opportunity to capture or kill Shen Xi alive, it will be a great achievement, and it will be conducive to consolidating my position in the Khan Palace! β
Thinking of this, Awulu didn't want to stay in the civil fort anymore.
She stood up and saluted her farewell, Shen Xi just waved her hand and asked her personal guard to see Ah Wulu off, while he stayed in the side hall and did not go out.
Seeing that Shen Xi had made up his mind, the commander could only leave unhappily, while Zhang Yong took advantage of the empty room and shouted, "Lord Shen, what are you going to make trouble about?" I didn't have a chance to escape before, so I won't talk about it, but now that we finally have a way to live, I actually refuse to accept it, didn't Lord Shen really think that the imperial court would send reinforcements? β
Shen Xi sighed faintly: "Gonggong Zhang, it's not that the official is unwilling, it's really a barbarian word that is not enough to be believed." She is a woman, and you can take the conditions proposed by white teeth seriously? At the beginning, the imperial court said that I should lead 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the fortress, but where are the 50,000 horses now? β
Zhang Yong was speechless for a moment, even the imperial court was full of lies and could not be trusted, let alone an enemy? But he was not willing to die in the civil fort no matter what.
