"What, the deal is done?"
At the place where the Wu clan entertained guests, Mu Bai was shocked when he heard the news brought back by the person in front of him, and asked in disbelief.
"yes."
Huanzhu responded with a smile, "The Wu clan no longer asks for the city. We can also discuss the matter of silver and cattle and sheep."
"How did Brother Li convince the Witch Queen?"
Mu Bai came back to his senses and asked in disbelief.
He could see the Witch Queen's attitude today. She didn't have any sincerity in peace talks at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so open-minded.
"It's a long story."
Huanzhu smiled softly and said, "We will discuss it in detail when we have time. Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, should discuss the compensation of silver and cattle and sheep with several adults from Honglu Temple. By the way, we still don't agree to the condition of war horses. After all, Dashang is already short of horses."
"I see."
Mu Bai suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded, "Thanks to Brother Li this time. If the peace talks are reached, Brother Li will be the first to contribute."
“It doesn’t matter whether you get credit or not.”
Huanzhu said softly, "The key is to get King Guanshan to return reinforcements as soon as possible. The situation in the north is not very good."
"Yes, the war cannot be delayed."
Mu Bai said in a deep voice, "I will go and discuss with some adults from Honglu Temple first. Brother Li can do whatever he wants."
After saying that, Mu Bai turned around and left without any further delay.
"It's not easy."
Huanzhu looked at the back of the fourth prince and felt a little relieved. This was her first mission, and she finally fulfilled her mission.
She now understands why her brother and sister Youwei are so busy.
The Li family's mission is really not that easy to accomplish.
Everything is always difficult at the beginning. Is this a good start for her?
Thinking of this, Huanzhu felt a little happy.
When brother comes back, I must take credit!
Three days later.
In Nanyue City, a personal guard walked over quickly and reported with joy, "King Wu, the Wu Clan has withdrawn its troops!"
"retreat?"
In the Shuai Mansion, King Guan Shan came out immediately after hearing this, with shock in his eyes.
Could it be that Your Highness and the others have reached peace talks with the Wu Clan?
"King Wu."
At this moment, another guard hurriedly came over and said, "Letter, a letter sent by His Highness the Fourth Highness."
King Guanshan stepped forward, took the letter, opened it, took a quick look, and finally showed a smile on his face.
The deal is done!
"Let the soldiers prepare, we will return to the Central Plains tomorrow!" King Guanshan calmed down and quickly ordered.
"yes!"
The two personal guards took the order, turned around and left to convey the order.
Two more days later.
Great Shang Capital, Shou'an Palace.
A chamberlain walked over quickly and reported excitedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news. Your Royal Highnesses and the others have reached an agreement with the Wu Clan, and King Guanshan is on his way to Banshi."
"good!"
In the palace, Emperor Shang heard the words and stood up with a slap on the table, his face full of relief.
The fourth child really did not disappoint him.
With the return of support from Guanshan, the crisis in the hinterland of Dashan and the northern border can be alleviated a lot.
Dashang's newly recruited soldiers are also undergoing emergency training and will soon be put into the battlefield. By then, it will be the period of Dashang's full-scale counterattack.
At the same time, Dashang was in the northern border.
The horses galloped past. The 10,000 cavalry led by Li Ziye and the 20,000 cavalry led by Tantai Zhen were all covered in dust after more than ten days of chasing and competing.
However, because I ate and drank well, I was in good spirits.
When Mobei attacked the city before, the city was destroyed. Therefore, the people of Mobei who moved south also lost the protection of the city. In nearly half a month, they were robbed of an unknown amount of property by 10,000 cavalry led by Li Ziye.
Of course, what Li Ziye and the Dashang cavalry wanted to grab most were food and property, and they just grabbed a few items.
Lieutenant General Luo Xiao has continued to gain weight in recent days. It can be seen that he is living a good life in his childhood.
Li Ziye was also speechless about this.
During the war, he got fatter and fatter as he fought, and only Luo Xiao was a foodie.
"drive!"
In the wilderness, Dashang's 10,000 cavalry rushed forward, breaking through the encirclement and suppression of Mobei's cavalry for an unknown number of times.
Li Ziye's tactics are very clear. If they don't have reinforcements, they must reduce the loss of troops as much as possible and avoid direct confrontation with the Mobei cavalry.
They have enough food, only ten thousand cavalry, they can eat as much as they can, and every time they grab it, it is enough to last for many days.
They dared to rob, but the Mobei Iron Cavalry did not.
See who can outlast whom.
"Master Hou, it seems that Tantai Zhen and the others are not chasing as closely as before."
After marching for half a day, the army temporarily stopped to rest. Luo Xiao stared at the south and said.
"The backup can't keep up."
Li Ziye said, "The people in Mobei have just moved south and have too much to take care of themselves. How can there be any surplus food to support them? Tantai Zhen and his friends have to transport their food from Baidi City. It is impossible to do it in such a timely manner. Now, the offensive and defensive forces have disappeared!"
"Master Hou, you mean to fight?" Luo Xiao said in shock.
"If you don't hit them, hit their back-up."
Li Ziye said, "Tantai really has 20,000 cavalry, but his grain transport troops don't have that."
"My subordinate understands."
Luo Xiao came back to his senses and said with admiration, "Master Hou is really a tactical wizard."
"That's weird."
Li Ziye said angrily, "Can you use your brain? Fighting is not an endorsement. You must know how to be flexible. In addition, be careful. Before fighting, you must send spies to find out the truth. Those grain transport troops may also be used by Tantai Zhen and others. Take our bait.”
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Our spies are many from the northern border. They are very familiar with the surrounding terrain. They know exactly where it is easy to hide, and they will not be plotted by those Mobei people." Luo Xiao said, patting his chest. .
"This is the only benefit of fighting on our doorstep."
Li Ziye sighed with emotion and warned, "Luo Xiao, that Tantai Zhen is now at least as strong as the late Fourth Realm. If you meet head-on, you have to be more careful. Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. That Tantai Zhen wants the most." The people to kill are you and me.”
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."
Luo Xiao nodded and said, "My subordinates are also in the Four Realms. The Four Realms are against the Four Realms. It's not necessarily who will kill whom."
"Yes, the young man is very confident."
Li Ziye patted the person in front of him on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way and said, "If we really face each other, don't embarrass me. If you can't win, just run away!"
Luo Xiao was startled and responded helplessly, "My subordinates know."
"Master Hou!"
When the two are talking.
far away.
A spy rushed back on horseback and said happily, "When my subordinates were investigating the enemy's situation just now, they captured one of the enemy's scouts. After interrogating him, they got some good news."
"What good news?" Li Ziye asked puzzledly.
"King Guanshan has returned with his troops for reinforcements!" the spy reported.
"King Guanshan returns to help?"
Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
The wait is finally here!
When the King of Guanshan returned to help, the Eight Tribes of Mobei became even more anxious to destroy them.
Urgency can lead to chaos, so that's fine. He's just waiting for Tantai to make a real mistake.
At the same time, Baidi City.
On top of the city tower.
The moon in the Tantai Mirror stood quietly, looking towards the south, with a cold look in his eyes.
As expected, Dashang would not give in so easily.
Anyway, if the opponent is too weak, there will be no point in fighting.
The Wu clan is negotiating peace with Da, and the Li family probably played a big role.
In this war, the Li family finally began to participate.
