Fang Xuanling took the Empress Dowager's decree and looked at it, threw it aside, and said coldly: "This is the will drafted by Yu Wenhua and himself, and it has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, Hugh wants to bluff people with this fake will." ”

Cui Zhao also knew that this would be the result, and in his will, he actually asked Zhang Xuan to retreat north immediately and not be allowed to intercept on the Huai River, Yu Wenhua was really delusional, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling said very frankly: "I know that Cui Gong came to talk to us about the conditions, so that we can let him go and go north, right?" ”

"Exactly!" Since Fang Xuanling was so frank, Cui Zhao didn't want to hide it.

"Actually, my marshal doesn't want to do things desperately, as long as Yu Wenhua agrees to our conditions, we may also withdraw our troops and go north and let the Xiaoguo army go home, so we let Cui Gong enter the camp, which means that this matter can be discussed."

Cui Zhao's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what conditions King Qi wants?" ”

"There are only three conditions, and there is no room for counter-offer, if you agree, you will withdraw the army, if you don't agree, then continue to consume like this, and see how much food you still have to support?"

Cui Zhao smiled bitterly, the other party had already understood everything, so he had to nod, "Master Fang, please speak!" I'll tell you what I'm saying. ”

Fang Xuanling didn't say much, took out a letter and gave it to Cui Zhao, "The condition is in the letter, you just bring it back, don't have to embarrass Cui Gong." ”

This is the best, saving Yu Wenhua and blaming himself for not being able to negotiate, he took the letter and bowed, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, I'll go back and report!" ”

Cui Zhao said goodbye and left, Fang Xuanling immediately came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Xuan was standing in front of the sand table with his hands in his hands, looking at Hanoi County, the reason why he agreed to Yu Wenhua and sued for peace was mainly because he was worried about Hebei. 、

He got the news yesterday. Luo Yi has already sent troops to Boling County, although only 3,000 troops were sent to Boling County to govern Xianyu County, but this is a clear signal that Luo Yi's army is likely to go south to join Li Jiancheng's army, which is also what Zhang Xuan is most worried about.

The biggest difficulty of the Tang Army's Eastern Crusade was that it had no foundation in Hebei, but Luo Yi could make up for this shortcoming. Once the Tang army captures Lushuicang, then they will have a firm foothold in northern Hebei, and the problem will become very serious.

At this time, Fang Xuanling walked into the big tent, Zhang Xuan didn't look back, and asked, "Where does the military advisor think Li Jiancheng has gone?" ”

Fang Xuanling stepped forward, looked at the sand table and said in a deep voice: "From the time, their grain ship should have arrived, then the grain ship and the army will march along the Yongji Canal simultaneously." It is more likely to enter Ji County, and now I don't know if Li Jiancheng's reinforcements have arrived. ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes obviously had a look of worry, if there were no reinforcements, then the 10,000 troops from Beihai County and the 20,000 troops from Wei County would not be afraid of Li Jiancheng's army, but if Li Yuan's reinforcements came in a big way, such as 50,000 troops, then Li Jiancheng would be 80,000 troops, if it was led by the famous general Qu Tutong......

Although it's just speculation. But Li Yuan, who was worried about his own problems, would also think that he was likely to attack Hebei at any cost. In that case, Hebei is in danger!

"If the general is in a hurry to go back, he can let them go again, as long as Yu Wenhua and hand over the Queen Mother and a few important ministers, you can let them go north."

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Zhang Xuan shook his head decisively, "None of the three conditions will be allowed." If they don't agree, then let them perish completely, and there is no need for them to go to the Wagang army. ”

Fang Xuanling was helpless, so he had to smile and say: "Maybe Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Li Yuan's reinforcements didn't come over so quickly." ”

That's when it happened. There was a sound of rapid running outside the tent, and I faintly heard someone panting: "Hurry up and report to the commander, urgent news from Wei County!" ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly turned around and walked out of the big tent, only to see an eagle slave holding a red letter in his hand, the eagle slave saw Zhang Xuan out of the tent, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to present it, "Qi Qi Marshal, Wei County emergency information!" ”

Zhang Xuan took the letter and shook out a roll of white silk inside, he walked back to the big tent, looked at the light carefully, and suddenly there was an unconcealable burst of ecstasy in his eyes, and he slapped his forehead again and again, "God help me!" ”

Fang Xuanling was also infected by Zhang Xuan's joy, and said with a smile: "It seems that the general has nobles to help!" ”

"It is indeed a nobleman, a person that you and I can't imagine, it is Wei Wentong and Du Ruhui who are ready to serve me, from Xingyang County to Hanoi County in the north, and just met Li Jiancheng's army, they are stationed in Wuzhi County, and cut off the grain ships coming from Hedong County along the Yellow River, without food, Li Jiancheng will not be able to advance eastward, and Li Yuan's Hebei plan will fall short."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly found Wuzhi County on the sand table, which happened to be located where the Yongji Canal flows into the Yellow River, and he was also surprised and delighted, "How can it be so coincidental, they happen to be Wuzhi County?" ”

"When the Yongji Canal entered the Yellow River, Wuzhi County was selected to dig it, just because the opposite bank was the Xingyang County Ferry, so it must have settled in Wuzhi County when it crossed the river from Xingyang County, if I guessed correctly, Wei Wentong went north because of the defeat of Weijin."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Wei Jin is Du Ruhui's uncle, Du Ruhui may be in Wei Jin's army, so he will follow Wei Wentong to the north, Du Ruhui I have seen, he is very strategic, with him to assist Wei Wentong, Li Jiancheng's plan will undoubtedly fail." ”

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he took a closer look at the information and said with a smile: "That's right, Li Jiancheng's grain ship is a plan to return, this must be Du Ruhui's strategy, congratulations to the marshal for being a famous general again." ”

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew Du Ruhui's plan, he had written to Du Ruhui to help him, but Du Ruhui did not respond, which made him regret for a long time, and now Du Ruhui finally chose himself, and gave himself great help as soon as he made a move, and he deserved to join the army in the record office that he liked.

There is also Wei Wentong, who ranks second among the thirteen Taibao of Yuwenshu, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, and can stand alone, and he is willing to be loyal to himself, which undoubtedly makes him like a tiger.

At this moment, the worries that had plagued Zhang Xuan for many days finally disappeared, and he began to cheer up and prepare to deal with Yu Wenhua with all his might, he still decided to let Yu Culture and go north, so that Yu Wenhua and Wagang would merge with the arms, but Yu Culture and the resources he had had to take most of it

Cui Zhao returned to Shanyang County and brought the three conditions proposed by Zhang Xuan, and at this time in the Sanyang County Ya, Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenzhihe, Yuan Min, and Yuan Li were discussing the conditions proposed by Zhang Xuan.

Nominally there are only three conditions, but in reality the scope is wide.

First, handing over the Queen Mother, the jade seal and all the hundred officials, this is the political condition, and Zhang Xuan wants Empress Xiao, the civil and military hundred officials and the jade seal of the country, which is also the most important condition.

Second, Zhang Xuan can let go of the Sima brothers and the Yuan brothers, but they must hand over Sima Dejia and Pei? Tong, Zhao Xingshu, Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju, Tang Fengyi, Meng Jing, Yuan Wuda, Yang Lan, Xi Fangde, Li Fu and other thirteen heads.

Third, all the 1,000 dragon boat teams were left, half of all the gold and jewelry were left, 30,000 of the 50,000 war horses of the Xiaoguo Army were left, and 50,000 sets of Mingguang armor were left in full inventory.

The three conditions were extremely harsh, and the four of them were silent, at this time Yu Wenhua got up and said angrily: "Let me agree to these conditions It is better to kill me, I will not agree, you can do it!" ”

After speaking, he rushed away angrily, but Yuwen Zhiji had an idea, and hurriedly chased him out, "Brother take a step slowly!" ”

Only Won Min and Won Li were left in the room, and Won Li asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

Yuan Min said lightly: "I only care about the army, as long as Zhang Xuan doesn't want the army, I think it's acceptable, as for Empress Xiao, it doesn't mean anything to us, and it doesn't matter much to the civil and military officials, it's better to kill Sima Dejiao and others, and clear our relationship." ”

"But what about horses and armor?"

Yuan Li has no interest in warships and treasures, he is a military general, but he is a little reluctant to warhorses and Ming Guangkai.

"The foundation of our Yuan clan is in Longyou, what war horses are you worried about? As for the Mingguang armor, it is indeed a pity, but what Zhang Xuan wants is only inventory after all, and he did not let the soldiers take off their armor, I think it is also acceptable, the key is that the army can continue to go north. ”

Yuan Li was silent for a moment and said, "But Yu Wenhua refuses to agree!" ”

This is a difficult problem, Yuan Min pondered for a long time, sneered and said: "If he doesn't agree, force him to agree!" ”

He whispered a few words to Yuan Li, and Yuan Li nodded repeatedly, "I know, this will spread the news." ”

Yu Wen Zhihe caught up with his brother Yu Wenhua, he knew more about the military situation than Yu Wenhua, and knew that the food could only last for another ten days at most, and if they could not enter Xuzhou in time to collect food, they would face the severe consequences of the whole army fleeing.

So Yu Wenzhi was willing to accept the conditions, he followed Yu Wenhua and whispered beside him: "Since my brother wants to establish himself as the emperor, it is useless for that old witch to take it, just give it to Zhang Xuan, as for those heads, there is no pity, and the warship is fine, even if he wants war horse armor, I think I can bargain, and ask Zhang Xuan for 50,000 stone of grain, so that we will have military rations and the Wagang army for a decisive battle, once the Wagang army is defeated, we occupy the Central Plains, establish the Xu Dynasty, and the world's talents have come to vote, are you still worried about civil and military officials?" Why didn't Big Brother consider accepting it? ”

Yu Wenhua only felt that his mind was numb, and his mind was blank, which was also his overindulgence and excessive drinking, which caused a serious decline in thinking ability and judgment, he didn't understand what Yu Wenzhi was talking about for a long time, but he had the ability to drag and pull the skin.

Yu Wenhua sighed and said: "This matter is very important, let me think about it again!" (To be continued.) )
