"Xingyue Lake? That place is covered in ice and snow, how can we talk about it?"
"Xingyue Lake is fair to everyone. It is neither within your sphere of influence nor our sphere of influence. Moreover, the ice surface of the lake is clearly visible, so no one can ambush people or carry out sneak attacks."
This negotiation location had been discussed with Yang Xiao before Zhou Qiang and others set off. After some thought, Xingyue Lake was the most suitable place that could be accepted by both parties.
In fact, Tan Zong also knows that Zhou Qiang and others may not agree to the negotiation in Xingyue Town, but it is just a test. If Zhou Qiang and others agree, that would be the best. If they do not agree, they will negotiate other locations before coming. Yue Ying has given him authority to decide the location and time of the negotiations.
Tan Zong was stunned for a moment and said:
"Xingyue Lake is so big, where exactly should we negotiate?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qiang immediately picked up a burned stick from the fire and drew a simple sketch on the ground.
"Xiaoyang Town is 40 kilometers away from Xingyue Town. This place is about 20 kilometers away from both sides. It is an abandoned village. In front of the village is Xingyue Lake, and it is within the territory of your Yuezhou City. You should be able to accept this place, right? "
Tan Zong looked at it and nodded.
"Why, this place is fair to both parties, so it's settled. We'll meet on the ice lake in front of this village at 12 noon tomorrow."
"good!"
"A gentleman's words,"
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
Zhou Qiang and others left.
Watching Zhou Qiang and others disappear, Tan Fa asked:
"Boss, if we negotiate, we won't have to fight anymore?"
Tan Zong chuckled and said:
"The boss said that negotiation is a negotiation and a fight is a fight. Both hands must be strong and both hands must be grasped."
"What's the meaning?"
"Stop asking, take the brothers back quickly, have a good rest, eat and drink enough, we have a big mission tomorrow."
"Big mission?"
Tan Fa was confused.
Tan Zong rushed to Yuezhou City last night to report Shashi's request for negotiation, and Yue Ying immediately convened a meeting.
"Haha, God help me!"
Yue Ying laughed.
Tan Zong was stunned and asked:
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple. I was worried that I couldn't annihilate the people in Shashi in one fell swoop, but they came to my door. I used the trick and agreed to negotiate with them. I will take advantage of the negotiation opportunity tomorrow to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly became excited.
"Wonderful, boss, this is such a good opportunity."
"They brought it to our door. This opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back."
"Boss, shall we continue our attack on Xiaoyang Town?"
"Of course, tomorrow we will first eliminate Yang Xiao's main force, and then drive straight into Shashi and occupy Shashi."
"Where will the negotiation be held?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not within Shashi. You can negotiate with the other party for the specific location, and then notify us after it's confirmed. From now on, everyone will enter a state of emergency. Except for the one thousand elites who stay in Yuezhou City, the other two thousand elites will We all set out tomorrow, a thousand people will go directly to the negotiation location with me, and another thousand people will stay in Xingyue Town, waiting for orders at any time."
"yes!"
Zhou Qiang returned to Xiaoyang Town before evening and told Yang Xiao the specific situation.
"Boss, although the other party agreed to negotiate, we learned from chatting with the other party's personnel that they may be preparing to attack us. You should be careful."
Yang Xiao nodded, turned around and stood in front of a map. This was a map of southern Hunan Province.
Yang Xiao has been studying this map these days, and there are many lines marked on it.
On the map, Xingyue Lake is oval-shaped. Xingyue Town is close to Shashi and is separated from Yuezhou City by the entire Xingyue Lake. The shortest straight-line distance is about 50 kilometers. It can be said that Xingyue Town is Yuezhou City. The key to controlling the entire Xingyue Lake is that if Yuezhou City loses Xingyue Town, it is equivalent to losing half of Xingyue Lake.
"Look, our Xiaoyang Town is 40 kilometers away from Xingyue Town. Xingyue Town and Yuezhou City are across the lake. The nearest stronghold in Yuezhou City is 50 kilometers away. And there are no other Yuezhou strongholds around Xingyue Town. It’s a lonely town.”
"Yang Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xia Luo was stunned, vaguely feeling that Yang Xiao seemed to have a bigger idea.
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Look, if we capture Xingyue Town and cut off the transmission channel with Yuezhou City, the people from Yuezhou City will come over and fight us. They will have to walk at least 50 kilometers across the glacial lake and run across the 50-kilometer glacial lake. If you come here to fight us, how much more fighting power can you have?"
"Boss, you don't want to capture Xingyue Town, do you?"
Huang Wen's heart moved.
Yang Xiao did not return directly, but glanced at Xia Luo and others.
"You established a stronghold on the island in Xingyue Lake, but this stronghold is 20 kilometers away from Xiaoyang Town, and there is no teleportation array available. With all the ice fish nearby being dug up, it is not a long-term solution.
Look again, if we control Xingyue Town, the situation will be very different. Xingyue Lake is at the door. You can dig ice fish as you like, and open the teleportation array from Xingyue Town to Shashi. Isn't it very convenient? "
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, Xia Luo and others all swallowed their saliva.
We want it too!
Even in my wildest dreams!
"But, boss, Xingyue Town is probably gathering a lot of elite warriors now. It is too dangerous for us to attack Xingyue Town now."
Zhou Qiang said that he had just returned from Xingyue Town. Although he did not enter Xingyue Town to check the specific situation, based on observation, he still felt that a lot of people had gathered in Xingyue Town. Otherwise, Tan Fa and others would not He was so cautious and did not allow himself to enter Xingyue Town because he was afraid that he would see the problem.
"You are right. In fact, we have lost the best opportunity to capture Xingyue Town. If the opponent had not mobilized their troops a few days ago, we could have attacked overnight and captured it in one fell swoop. It is indeed a bit difficult now.
Long Yongjun, you rush back to Shashi immediately and bring over the remaining 500 elites in Shashi, as well as Xiangnan, Xianan and Xingcheng, and mobilize a thousand reserve troops. "
"Yes, boss."
Long Yongjun immediately went out and went to Shashi through the teleportation array.
Yang Xiao continued to arrange troops with Xia Luo and others to discuss ways to capture Xingyue Town.
Early the next morning, Yang Xiao took Xia Luo, Zhou Qiang, Huang Wen, Long Yongjun, Huang Wen, Qin Yu and others, together with 2,000 elite soldiers, to the negotiation location 20 kilometers away. These two thousand elites Among them, 1,500 were Yang Xiao's old subordinates, and the remaining 500 were left behind by the former Xie Jun.
Huang Wen took off in advance with two giant eagles and 300 birdmen to investigate the situation ahead.
In addition to leaving Xiao Zhe and five other primary-level masters of original genes to defend Shashi, Yang Xiao also brought over 60 primary-level masters from Xiangnan University and more than 40 primary-level masters from Xianan University. In total, they exceeded One hundred people.
