The hesitation of the envoy and others was unexpected to Feng Du, so Feng Du immediately explained: "Don't be nervous, these cups have been sterilized. Besides, if you dare to send Lang Fang as an envoy, you must be heroes who are not afraid of death. Even If you’re not afraid of death, are you still afraid of drinking tea?”
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Lao San just had to bite the bullet and said: "Okay, to show our sincerity, I will drink this tea."
"Gulu gulu..."
"Not bad, I didn't expect you guys to know how to make tea." Lao San praised.
"Haha, I've done a little research. Originally, I wanted you to try the cuisine of our ghosts and gods, but considering that we are not suitable for eating together, let's skip it."
"We appreciate your Majesty's kindness."
"Okay, then we can almost get to the point. What do you guys want to talk about here?"
"Then I'll get straight to the point. This time I'm here mainly to talk about using Geng Guan and others in exchange for Kun to return to Cangzhou."
"Haha, what a coincidence, that's what we had in mind."
"What? Do you already know that Geng Guan was captured by us?"
"I guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be correct."
"Can you guess this?" Lao San thought this was incredible.
"It's really just a guess. We don't have fortune tellers with the ability to predict."
"It's indeed surprising, so you also guessed the murder of City Lord Yin?"
"What? City Lord Yin? Yin Xiao? She was killed?" Feng Du was really surprised, because he really didn't expect anything to happen to Yin Xiao.
"This is no secret. To be honest, Geng Guan's team attacked City Lord Yin secretly. Although they were eventually captured, City Lord Yin also..."
"Yin Xiao is really dead?" Feng Du raised his voice unconsciously. This was so surprising.
"City Lord Yin did die."
"What's the situation? Geng Guan's strength is indeed good, but Yin Xiao is not bad either, plus there are Tianpeng and Jiang Wei in Cangzhou."
"Tianpeng and Jiang Wei happened to leave for a short time because of something. The lord and his wife also happened to be visiting Xia Yashuang, so Geng Guan took advantage of them."
"Haha, this Geng Guan is so awesome. He actually killed Yin Xiao. Isn't that awesome?"
Seeing Feng Du being so happy, everyone on the messenger team became gloomy, with great dissatisfaction written on their expressions.
After Feng Du noticed something strange, he immediately apologized and said: "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment. Let's not talk about the Yin City Lord. Let's talk about business. In addition to Geng Guan himself, there should be some people."
"Yes, there are 12 people in total. Their value should be enough to exchange for General Kun, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough. The great hero of Geng Guan actually defeated Yin Xiao. Then Yuwen Mie will probably collapse... Ah... I'm sorry, let's not talk about Yin Xiao." Feng Du almost couldn't hold it back again.
"Then let's discuss the details of how to exchange hostages." The messenger was very unhappy, but he could only continue to focus on business.
"Okay, here's what I think..."
After discussion, Feng Du and the envoy planned to conduct a hostage exchange in the ruined city, Tianjin City. During the exchange, the number of persons on both sides shall not exceed one thousand.
Tianjin City was commanded by Cui Wei in the early days of the end of the world. It was still a big city at that time. But if you look at it from the current perspective, it can only be regarded as a small town. Back then, Tianjin City was destroyed by countless missiles. Since then, Tianjin City has not been rebuilt. Liu Ji and Liu Chuan had controlled Tianjin City many times and built many small towns here, mainly for collecting resources and manufacturing weapons. Later, the war between Langfang City and Tianjin City continued. Langfang City alone changed hands many times. First it was Liu Ji, then it was occupied by the Imperial Government, then it was recaptured by the Poxia Allied Forces, and then it was captured by the zombies, and then again It was recaptured and later occupied by the Ghost Tribe.
Langfang City has gone through many wars, but it will still be rebuilt, because its geographical location is very critical. To the south, it can threaten Cangzhou, to the southwest, it can covet the fort and the city, and to the northeast is Tangshan, which is extremely rich in resources. But Tianjin City seems a bit insignificant, so it has never been seriously rebuilt. Only occasionally when troops are stationed, small-scale repairs will be carried out.
This time, Feng Du's request to exchange hostages in Tianjin City was reasonable and reasonable. After all, it was a buffer area. However, it cannot be ruled out that Feng Du has evil intentions. However, with the envoy's wisdom, it was difficult to figure out Feng Du's conspiracy, so he could only rush back to Cangzhou and report the results of the discussion to Jiang Feng.
After listening to the messenger's report, Jiang Feng looked a little worried.
"The location is not the point, the point is a thousand people."
"What's the point of these one thousand people?" the envoy asked in confusion.
"These thousand people can be very ordinary soldiers, they can also be elite soldiers, and they are more likely to be soldiers disguised by the general."
"What you mean is that when exchanging hostages, Feng Du's one thousand people may be high-level combatants. Their purpose is to get Geng Pass without handing over General Kun, or even the one thousand people who attacked us, will They darken.”
"Of course I can't be sure, but I don't rule out that Feng Du has this plan."
"Then we can also select generals and elites to disguise themselves as soldiers. If the other party comes hard, we can also fight back against them." The messenger suggested.
"This will mean a decisive battle with Feng Du ahead of schedule."
"The final battle? Not really."
"If a thousand people on both sides are selected high-fighting personnel, then the battle between these two thousand people will be a decisive battle that can determine who is the overlord of Yanhuang. If we lose, we will not have the confidence to compete with Feng Du. If we win, Feng Du will also leave Langfangcheng."
"Lord, I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly. If there will be a battle with Feng Du sooner or later, why not have a decisive battle now. The lord has powerful allies such as the Menis Empire, Zerg, Wei Chi, Juecheng, Xia Long, etc., so why be afraid of launching a decisive battle? ?”
"Don't be so naive. These people can help us cheer, but they won't fight for us."
"I understand, what the lord means is that they have reservations. Even in a war, they will not necessarily go all out. They may even try to avoid the battle as much as possible in order to reduce losses. We are the ones who charge into the battle and attract firepower. , they are the ones reaping the heads. If they can’t be defeated, they are the ones who retreat the fastest.”
"Yes, it is actually unwise to fight Feng Du. No matter who wins, it will be of no benefit to me or Feng Du. Neither of us has the confidence and confidence to destroy the other. Instead of doing this, it is better to develop separately. He It takes time to cultivate his hundreds of thousands of dark zombies, and I also need time to develop and expand my power."
"Does Feng Du have the same idea as you?"
"I'm not sure. Let's do this. You leave immediately to reply to Feng Du. We agree to his request and each bring a thousand people to replace people in Tianjin City. But you have to emphasize the stakes to him and don't do anything. What’s the trick, a decisive battle now would be of no benefit to anyone.”
"My subordinate understands."
After the envoy left, Jiang Feng was still a little worried. He specially summoned the leader of the Cangzhou City reconnaissance team and asked him to send more manpower to monitor the movements of Tianjin City. If any enemies sneaked over to ambush Tianjin City, they must report it in time.
In addition, Jiang Feng also sent several generals with good combat capabilities, who led a small group of cavalry to the small town of Laizhou and handed the lord's order letter to Su Kouye.
Ordinary information delivery can be left to the messenger. The delivery of ordinary orders can be left to the signal corps. The delivery of important orders requires the dispatch of generals. There is a reason why they are mounted on war horses instead of helicopters.
Helicopters are in the air and are easily attacked. Once shot down, it will affect the delivery of important orders. With war horses, the mobility will be higher. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can let a few people go first and the rest follow behind, so that the order letter can be delivered smoothly.
A few hours later, the messenger came to Langfang City again.
It was very late now, and Feng Du had already laid down and was getting ready to sleep. This time, Feng Du did not plan to meet the envoy. Instead, he directly called his subordinates and asked them to receive him.
A small messenger wanted me to receive him twice in one day. It was so beautiful.
After Feng Du's subordinates received the envoy, the envoy insisted on meeting Feng Du and emphasized that he represented Jiang Feng's will.
Feng Du closed his eyes and was trying to fall asleep, but was woken up by another phone call.
"Wow, what the hell? How can I set Do Not Disturb on this phone?"
Feng Du had never used this type of mobile phone before. He kept pressing the buttons and didn't know how to set them up. Not long after, the phone rang again.
"What are you doing?" Feng Du answered the phone.
"Your Majesty, that envoy insists on meeting you and says he has something important to discuss."
"I'm already lying down. You arrange a hotel for the envoy and we'll discuss it tomorrow."
"That's what I told the envoy, but he really made a strong request and said that if I can't talk to you, it means I haven't completed the mission of the lord. Instead of doing this, it's better to kill myself to apologize."
"Is he sick? We can't let him die here. Let's do this. Give me the phone and I'll talk to him on the phone."
"good."
The general quickly handed the phone to the envoy: "The king is telling you."
"Hello."
"Messenger Lao, I have actually fallen asleep and was woken up by you. Let's do this. If you have anything to do, let's talk directly on the phone."
"I'm sorry for intruding. Our lord has something to emphasize. Is the general next to me trustworthy?"
"That's General Bing, one of the Eight Generals of Ghosts and Gods. Just say it directly. It doesn't matter if he hears it."
"Okay, what my lord means is that when exchanging hostages, only send a thousand ordinary soldiers and don't make small moves. He doesn't want to start a war with you early. You need time to cultivate dark zombies, and my lord needs time to develop people's livelihood. If If we really go to a decisive battle early, you ghosts and gods will definitely fail, and there will never be a chance to make a comeback. The vitality of Jiang Zhi’s forces will also be severely damaged, and others will benefit in the end.”
"Did Jiang Feng really say that?" Feng Du suddenly became energetic.
"Yes, I know you will find it a little strange. The lord actually planned to meet you in person, but he is afraid of being suspected, so he cannot have private contact with you now."
"Haha, I finally waited for his truth. To tell you the truth, I had this worry before. I was worried that Jiang Feng would really unite other countries and forces in the world to start a decisive battle with me. I even made second-hand preparations. However, Now it seems that Jiang Feng does not completely trust those so-called allies."
"Then, I would like to ask you, can you comply with my lord's request, exchange hostages, and don't make any small moves."
"Don't worry, I didn't intend to make any small moves. General Kun will be of little use to me. You tell Jiang Feng that I am not Thor. What I seek is the future of the Ghost Clan. If Jiang Feng wants to fight with I cooperate and I welcome it.”
"I will definitely convey your words to the lord."
"Thank you, but it's already so late now, and it's not very safe in the wild. I don't think you need to rush back. Even if you go back, Jiang Feng will be asleep, so you'd better stay here for one night. I'll go back in person tomorrow morning Talk to you."
"If the king insists on his request, then just stay for one night."
