Soldiers are coming to the city, and they are coming to the edge of Hao!

Li Jing's soldiers were trapped in Duli Town, and put forward harsh conditions for the boycott of the troops, and in the city lord's mansion in Duli Town, half of the people who were just happy were wilted again. Not only did Li Jing not die, but he also set up an ambush plan and killed the men and horses who attacked the camp. Even Wang Gai and Pei You, who had just been praised as heroes, were once again captured by Li Jing. Eight thousand soldiers and horses left the city, and now only half of the remnants of the army will return.

Fortunately, Li Jing only proposed to hand over Feng Changgui this time, but did not propose to hand over Wang Pu.

Zheng Jiezhi, on behalf of some representatives, said helplessly: "Break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, this Li Jing, we really can't afford to provoke it." ”

Wang Pu was unwilling to say: "We only need to stick to the city, with the strong city of Duli Town, Li Jing can't help us." ”

"We naturally know this, but even so, as long as Li Jing stays outside, will we have to hide in the city for the rest of our lives?" Zheng Jiezhi sighed and said, "If you continue to fight, there will be only disadvantages and no benefits." Once the city is besieged, how can the 100,000 or 200,000 people in the city hold it for a long time? Moreover, if the confrontation continues for a long time, the loss will only be greater than it is now. Then Li Jing is so fierce, in case the city is broken. At that time, I regretted it. ”

"Give it to him. One hundred and eight. 30,000 yuan per family, and make up 3 million for Li Jing. As long as there is a complete truce, it's worth it. "These people have indeed been scared. Each family runs the town, neither for hegemony nor for power, but for making money. If you want to annex Qingni City before, it is because Qingni City has the largest port. But now after being entangled with Li Jing in Shamen Town, he fought several battles in a row, saying that he had destroyed the combined fleet. Now he has suffered another defeat, and a cavalryman has been defeated twice.

And because of these wars, the trade routes in the town of Turi have begun to be cut off, and the losses caused by this are quite huge. If Li Jing continues to besiege the city, the losses will be even more incalculable. What is it to fight with Li Jing, if you win him, it is impossible to occupy the Da Xie Islands.

"If the city lord is because of the Feng clan, then we have a big deal with Li Jing and let the Feng clan take the money to redeem it. If Feng Shi is willing to give Li Jing a million, I dare to believe it. Li Jing, who has always had the reputation of loving money, will definitely not insist on handing over the Feng family again. Zheng Jiezhi proposed.

Feng Changgui sat at the end of the seat. The face is gloomy. Take out 30,000 guan, and there is no problem with the Feng family. But if you want to take out a million, that's at least half of the Feng family's entire property. If Feng Zhang and Feng Yanqing were still there, it would have been better, but now that they are gone, the main branch of the Feng clan will not work, not to mention that he is only the Duli Town branch of the Feng clan. One million, he has to sell all his family property to make it up.

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Okay, then please ask Zheng Gong to go to Li Jing's camp in person." If Li Jing is willing to take a truce and no longer care about past grievances, I am willing to pay 1 million on behalf of the Feng family, but there is only one condition, Li Jing must beat the gong and drum, and carry the sedan chair to openly accept my daughter Yijun as his third wife. ”

Zheng Jiezhi nodded in agreement, and that day he led a team of people to Li Jing's camp carrying hundreds of jars of wine and hundreds of cattle.

Sitting in the tent, seeing that it was Zheng Yuanzhi, who signed the armistice agreement last time, Li Jing couldn't help but chuckle.

"The last time the pen and ink of the treaty were dry, you openly tore up the agreement, why, and now you are coming again, why?"

Zheng Jiezhi smiled bitterly: "The general misunderstood, the last time it was a misunderstanding. It was Qingni City that attacked us first, and we were just forced to fight. A misunderstanding caused countless deaths and injuries, and I also feel very sorry for it. Now, he is willing to take the initiative to turn the war into a jade silk, so that the two families will stop fighting. ”

"If you want me to call off the army and make a truce, are you willing to agree to the conditions that I put forward by the city before? Five million yuan of money and materials, as well as the surrender of the Feng clan! ”

"My Duli Town really wants peace between the two families this time, so the Wang City Lord proposed that Duli Town and Shamen Town marry, and the daughter of the Wang City Lord will marry General Li as the third lady, for this reason, Wang Xiaoniang's father Wang clan and mother Feng clan are each willing to take out 500,000 guan as a dowry, and the remaining one hundred and six families in Duli Town, each family is willing to give 30,000 guan as a celebration gift, so a total of 4.18 million yuan of money, food and materials, as a gift for the two families, from now on you and I will always be friendly and do not offend each other."

Zheng Jiezhi's words were a little subtle, saving some face for himself and Duli Town, what kind of dowry is a gift, but in fact, it is just a reparation. Four million, this is a huge amount of money, and Li Jing really hurt them this time.

"You go back first, let me think about it before replying."

After sending the envoy, Li Liang immediately said: "I think this condition is okay, we can't keep the soldiers and horses here all the time, our roots are still in Dengzhou." Besides, if we don't agree, we can take such a fortified city as Duli Town. The long-term siege actually consumed not only the town of Duli, but also ourselves. I thought that it would be better to agree to the conditions of Duli Town, and it would be the best time to strike a truce at this time. What's more, four million guan, this is a lot of money. The Feng family is no longer worried, and it is okay to let it go. ”

Li Jing groaned and said softly: "It's just that this Wang Pu proposed that I take his daughter as a concubine, and this matter is not easy to handle." If it is accepted, then the Li family in Qingnicheng will inevitably be nostalgic. ”

"The lord is too worried." Li Liang twisted his beard and chuckled: "It's just a woman, how can it be anything." What does it matter if the lord accepts it? Qingni Li family's side actually doesn't mind, now that Li Lingfu is dead, Li Juren is seriously injured, it is estimated that he will not be able to survive. There is only one left, Li Juyi, who is brave and martial, but compared with his brother, he lacks some steady strategy, and compared with Li Lingfu, he is far behind. They now have to dock us to keep Qingni City intact, so how can they care about these little things. What's more, this Wang Pu's daughter has already been sent to the lord's side, and your father-in-law will not accept her publicly. The Li family also saw it this way. ”

"For now, the confrontation with the town of Duli continues. It's a lose-lose situation. Peace is mutually beneficial. As long as we leave a group of soldiers and horses in Qingni City, we can control Qingni City and deter Duli Town, and we can return to Shamen Town by ourselves, and we don't have to be restrained here. ”

After listening, Li Jing was still a little hesitant. An armistice was also his intention, and he was hesitant to reach an armistice in the name of marriage. At this moment, it was suddenly reported outside the tent that Li Juyi asked to see him.

"Uncle. My eldest brother was about to die, so he asked my uncle to go and see him, saying that he had something to ask for. Li Shouyi looked sad and choked up.

Li Juren received Li Juli yesterday, but was seriously injured and returned. When he returned to the village, he fainted and died, and it took a long time to wake up, but the whole person was no longer good. He knew that he couldn't hold on, so he sent Li Shouyi and the four cavalrymen of the crane army, Cao Meng, Gao Duo, Yu Bao, and Li Biao, to hand over the aftermath to the front. Gao Duo is not only the general of the Crane Control Army, but also the brother of Mrs. Gao and the uncle of Li Shouren's brother. Goguryeo aristocracy.

Seeing Li Juren's situation, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although Li Jing is sending troops to help right now. defeated Zhang Dewei and Duli Town successively, but both battles were only defeated but not completely destroyed. Li Jingzhi's root is in Dengzhou, and he will not want to move the army to Liaodong all the time. After this battle, he will definitely negotiate peace with the town of Duli again, and then withdraw his army. If he leaves, I am afraid that we will fall into the covetousness of Beisha City and Duli Town again. Right now, there are only two or three thousand remnants left in my Qingni City, how can I be afraid. In my opinion, only by relying on Li Jing may be able to save the life of Qingnicheng and the Li family. ”

Cao Meng is also Li Lingfu's old brother, and at this time he couldn't help but say: "The Li family in Qingni City has a century-old foundation, how can you say that you can send it." You and I are both from the Li family, how can we watch Qingni City change hands. There are still 800 crane control troops in Qingni City, as long as they are given time, they will definitely be able to recover again. ”

Li Biao is also a member of the Li clan of Qingni City, and sighed: "It's just that who can give us such time, even if Duli Town and Beisha City don't come to take it, seeing that we are so weak, there will be a lot of other people who want to take Qingni City." Living in Liaodong is like being in a wolf pack, once injured, it is possible to be eaten by the surrounding companions. ”

Cao Meng glared at Li Biao angrily: "Li Biao, you are a descendant of the Li family, how can you say such a thing." ”

"I'm also for the good of the Li family, and I can rely on Li Jing, at least I can protect the family. But if it is swallowed up by others, the Li family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the scourge of extermination. ”

Li Juren lay on the bed, listening to the controversy of the retainers below, and made up his mind, and said: "The current situation of Qingni City is difficult to preserve. My heart's intention is also to hand it over to General Li Jing, but he refused last time, how can he be willing this time? If General Li Jing refuses to protect Qingni City, Qingni City will be in danger, and the Li family will be in danger. ”

Yu Bao, who has not spoken, is in his fifties, but Li Lingfu's original head of the guard, he has followed Li Lingfu since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became his bodyguard, and later left Qingni City with Li Lingfu and traveled to Liaodong. can be described as loyal to Li Lingfu and the Li family.

He said: "I don't want to take Qingni City in my opinion, but I actually care about some other people's attitudes. Now that the young master is seriously injured, he personally entrusted Qingnicheng and the Li family to Li Jing when he was dying, so he will not be able to make excuses. ”

Li Juren nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly asked Li Juyi to invite Li Jing to come.

Li Jing followed Li Juyi to Li Juren's tent, and when he saw Li Juren's pale face, chapped lips, and somewhat sloppy eyes, he knew that his life was not long in coming. Li Jing stepped forward to hold his hand and whispered a few words of comfort.

Two lines of tears rolled out of Li Juren's eyes, he held Li Jing's hand tightly, looked at Li Jing and said, "Please come uncle, it's not for anything else." It's just because I'm not filial, my father handed over the century-old foundation of Qingnicheng to me, but I couldn't keep him. Now I'm so badly injured that I can't survive for two or three days. Before I died, I couldn't rest assured about one thing, and I hoped that my uncle would promise me, otherwise, I would not be blind to death. ”

"The eldest prince said, as long as I Li Jing does it, it will be completed."

"My father died in battle, and now I am going to die again, and Qingni City is now less than a thousand soldiers, and it is in danger. My nephew asked my uncle to marry with my father, take pity on the people of Qingni City and the Li family, take over Qingni City, and protect more than 100,000 people and my Li family. ”

Li Jing said: "The third prince died in battle, and the eldest prince is now seriously injured, but he can still deliver Qingni City to the second son." The second son is brave and promising, young and promising, and can take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Li Juren said: "The second brother is more than brave, but he is still too young, and he has always stayed in the army, and he has never had experience in dealing with specific affairs. In the current situation in Qingni City, he can't take on this heavy responsibility. After my death, Ju Yi can follow his uncle's side, or he can be a general, but he must not be allowed to take over the city of mud, otherwise, it will harm him. ”

Li Jing pondered for a long time: "Qingnicheng is the century-old foundation of Xian's nephew's family, and I will take it over with patience." Besides, now I am the deputy soldier and horse envoy of Da Xie Yan, and my subordinates also have more than 100,000 people, but I am afraid that I will be incompetent and unable to take over this great responsibility. ”

Li Juren held Li Jing's hand tightly with both hands and said, "If uncle is worried that someone in Qingni City will not be convinced, there is no need. Mother and Uncle Meng also agreed to this matter a long time ago. Now Ju Yi also means this, and in addition, the four major cavalry generals of the Crane Army are here, and they are also willing to obey the dispatch of their uncle from now on. ”

Li Jing was silent.

Li Juren said to Li Juyi: "You swear! ”

"I, Li Juyi, swear here, I sincerely ask my uncle to take over Qingni City, and I have no second intention in my heart. If he repents one day, he will be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, and he will not die well. ”

The four cavalry generals of Gao Duo also knelt down on one knee to Li Jing and swore allegiance.

Li Jing stepped forward at this time to help a few people, and said reluctantly: "In this way, I will take on this heavy responsibility." Today, I also swear here, with my Li Jing, I will protect the safety of the Li family. However, I said in advance that I will only temporarily receive Qingni City, and when Juyi is older and Qingni City is in danger, I will hand over Qingnicheng to Juyi and return it to the Li family. ”

With Li Jing's consent, Li Juren was greatly pleased.

The next day, Li Jing, Li Juyi and Li Juren discussed a truce agreement with the envoys of Duli Town, and they had no objection to the agreement of Duli Town. Although Wang Haojun had promised Li Juren's proposal, since she had already joined Li Jing's side, Li Juren's brothers had already regarded her as Li Jing's woman. There is nothing wrong with this additional condition of public concubinage.

Although they have a bitter enmity with Duli Town, now that they are attached to Li Jing, they also agree with Li Jing's decision to make a truce. My father fought once in the town of Duli, and the whole army was destroyed. The coalition forces fought the town of Duli again and were defeated again. If it weren't for Li Jing's miraculous plan to pull back a game, it would be impossible for this alliance under the city to be concluded at the moment.

In the afternoon of the same day, ten miles below the city of Duli Town, in the middle of the two armies, the desk was set up in the morning.

Li Jing and Wang Pu, as representatives of the two families, signed their names together on the truce and strike agreement. That night, Li Jing beat gongs and drums as agreed, and took Wang Haojun as the third lady in eight sedan chairs. And Duli Town also received the first batch of 1 million indemnities, which was naturally a generous dowry given by Wang Haojun's father and mother's family. The remaining three million will be delivered in installments within the agreed date in various grains, as well as cattle, sheep, horses, slaves, and various materials and ores.

In the first half of the night, the lively concubine banquet had just passed, and in the second half of the night, Li Juren died of injuries. Early in the morning of the second day, Li Jing ordered the camp to be pulled out and transported Li Juren's body back to Qingni City. A big battle, finally a truce and a call for peace, victory and triumph. (To be continued......)
