Others were surprised too.
"What do you think about exposing your back to the rebels?" the Sixth Prince asked.
"Your Highness, please look!" Liu Mo said calmly, "If the rebels really want to get around our backs, there are only two ways to go. One is to cross the river, and the other is to climb over Lan Pei Mountain. No matter which way it is. The journeys are very long and dangerous.
We just need to keep sending out scouts to investigate the only way we must pass. Once we discover the enemy, we can send troops to destroy it.
Of course, there is also a risk, that is, at the critical moment of our decisive battle with the enemy, they suddenly attack. However, such an opportunity has too many prerequisites. I don't think the leader of thieves would dare to take such a risk. "
Everyone heard it, and there was a small chance that their army would be in a desperate situation where it would be attacked from both sides.
But the advantage of this is that you can concentrate your forces to confront the enemy.
"I'll think about it some more," the Sixth Prince said, "Let's get here first!"
The meeting ended here.
After leaving, Liu Mo began to arrange for his subordinates to actively prepare for war.
In the afternoon, a messenger was sent from the enemy camp, holding a white flag high, saying that the eldest prince wanted to invite the sixth prince for a talk.
Although he didn't know what medicine the other party sold in the gourd, the sixth prince still agreed.
The negotiation place was a green meadow dotted with gray-white mushrooms and freshly cut tree stumps.
"We were the first, Your Highness," Zhu Min commented as they rode among the tree stumps, isolated between the two armies.
Daxia's eight-clawed golden dragon flag was flying on the top of the spear he was holding tightly.
Across the drizzle-stained forest, Liu Mo saw the eldest prince's military camps spread across the hills.
Not long after, a group of soldiers and horses appeared in the distance.
It wasn't until he got closer that she saw clearly that the eldest prince was wearing a crown symbolizing the Emperor of Great Xia, with the shape of a golden dragon deliberately carved on the edge. But the rest of his attire was plain.
"Sixth brother, you're fine." The eldest prince spoke first.
"I'm not your brother," the sixth prince's tone was full of hatred, "What, you are the emperor now? You are actually wearing a crown!"
"Aren't you the same?" the eldest prince said, "It's really interesting, we have three emperors in Daxia now."
"Three people?" The sixth prince frowned.
"That's right, the second child has also proclaimed himself emperor." The eldest prince said. "If possible, I suggest you change the flags, otherwise the soldiers will be easily confused during a war."
"I'm not here to listen to your nonsense today!" said the Sixth Prince, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Discuss an agreement to deal with the common enemy!" the eldest prince said. "Otherwise, our enemies will destroy us all together!"
The Sixth Prince looked at his face again, and there was no smile on his face. "According to my father's last wish, I am the crown prince of Great Xia. Anyone who denies this is my enemy."
"The whole of Great Xia is denying you, Sixth Brother." The eldest prince said, "The bad old man was denying it before he died, the Crown Prince was denying it, and the civil and military officials of the whole court were denying it. There is no evidence to prove your point of view, which is very regrettable. "
The sixth prince clenched his jaw, his face extremely tense. "I once swore that if I see you again, I will cut off your head. It seems that I should fulfill my promise today."
"Haha, don't be so anxious." The eldest prince said, "Where was your patience? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"If you have anything else to say, just say it quickly," the Sixth Prince shouted, "or I will leave immediately."
"Very good!" said the eldest prince, "I suggest that you and I put aside our respective prejudices for the time being and deal with the second brother who colluded with the Zhou Dynasty bastards together. After annihilating his troops, we can duke it out between you and me!"
The prince cooperates with the Zhou Dynasty? Liu Mo thought in surprise.
Brother Daxia's forces are also in chaos, just like the countries in the Western Region.
The world is in chaos now!
At this time, the Sixth Prince grinned, "Okay, I accept your suggestion." He said, "However, I have a request!"
"any request?"
"I want you to dismount immediately, kneel down and surrender to me, and obey me in everything before the enemy is eliminated!"
"Hahaha!" The eldest prince laughed, "Sixth brother, don't you see the situation clearly? Look behind me. My army is twice as large as yours, and we occupy favorable terrain.
I don't care how experienced and invincible you think you are, Sixth Brother, the facts are right in front of you - as soon as my troops attack, all your troops will be destroyed. "
As he spoke, the eldest prince put his hand under his cloak. Upon seeing this, Liu Mo immediately clenched the hilt of the sword, but before drawing the sword, the eldest prince took out...an orange.
"Would you like one, Sixth Brother?" the eldest prince asked with a smile on his face, "It's from Jizhou. I promise, you have never tasted such a delicious thing." He opened the orange and took a bite, and the juice flowed from it. The corners of his mouth were watered down.
"Have you said enough nonsense?" The sixth prince's face darkened, "I have never been threatened by others."
"I didn't threaten you," the eldest prince countered, "If I made a threat, I would do it openly. To be honest, I have never liked you, sixth brother, but you are my brother and sister after all, and I don't want to hurt you at all.
So, if you want the former fiefdom, just take it... treat it as a gift between brothers. "
"Enough!" the Sixth Prince roared, "Let the war begin!"
The discussion ends here.
When both sides returned to their respective camps, the battle was about to break out.
According to the deployment of the Sixth Prince, Liu Mo was placed on the right wing. The opponent has three legions, with a main force of 25,000 people, and the other two armies of about 10,000 people each, totaling nearly 50,000 enemy troops.
On the third day after the negotiations, as soon as the heavy fog covering Lam Pei Mountain dissipated, the enemy army couldn't wait to launch an attack.
Tens of thousands of enemy troops roared like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and rushed toward them in a black mass.
This time, Liu Mo saw the strong Hu soldiers, the Hu wolves who made him feel scared, and the heavy armored Northern Daxia cavalry.
These troops who are good at fighting tough battles are the main force in the strong attack. With red eyes and wild beast-like howls, they swarmed crazily towards the defense line stationed by Liu Mo.
In less than a moment, Liu Mo once again experienced the suffocating siege: a sword thrust out, and as soon as the oath pierced the throat of a war wolf, he had to pull it out as quickly as possible to deal with another Hu warrior. No chance to take a breath.
Since Liu Mo was the commander of the right wing, all the charging enemy troops attacked with him as the center.
Liu Mo, who was fighting at the front, had to spend every moment trying to block various attacks from all directions.
After a while, Liu Mo's whole body was covered with scars, with seven or eight large and small wounds, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't even lift the sword.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, "Master Liu, long time no see!"
When he looked up, he saw a familiar face, holding his sword high and slashing down fiercely.
"It's you...Li Shan!" Liu Mo raised his sword to block in surprise.
A "台" sound.
Liu Mo was knocked back and the steel sword in his hand was almost knocked off.
The person who came suddenly kicked Liu Mo again, kicking him several meters away, and then fell to the ground with dust flying.
"Today will be your death!"
