It can be seen that Ouyang Ming is in a good mood. Not only him, but also Weng Qiuchan, Liang Peng and others are also overjoyed.
You know, when two armies are fighting, what is the greatest honor? It is to defeat the enemy army and capture the enemy commander alive.
Basically, anyone who can do this can be called a famous marshal.
But after the battle, the other party's lord was captured alive.
It is truly worthy of universal celebration.
Ouyang Ming laughed and said,
"Wonderful, wonderful, I originally thought that we could defeat the barbarian army, give them a severe defeat, and then force Queding Tangwu to come to negotiate peace with us, sign a treaty, and there will be peace from now on.
Unexpectedly, the lord actually captured Queding Tangwu alive, which was really wonderful.
In this way, we can negotiate terms with them, negotiate many terms, and even force them to sign unequal treaties, treaties that are beneficial to us. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Certain land and pay compensation? Make a marriage and pay tribute?"
"Ah? What do we need the grassland land for?"
Ouyang Ming was startled for a moment, then smiled and said,
"My lord's suggestion is not bad, but it is impossible for the other party to agree to it. After all, there is an eldest son from Quedingtangwu outside. Even if they all die, the eldest son outside can still succeed.
But negotiation is a bargaining process. We first quote a high price and then wait for the other party to bargain.
Now the opponent's life is in our hands, and we have every advantage. "
Hearing this, Ma Niubi became unhappy and said,
"Military advisor, we worked so hard to capture Queding Tangwu, why don't we just kill him? Let me tell you, we must not only kill Queding Tangwu, but also Queding Quyang, defeat the enemy outside, and The barbarians all rushed back."
Ouyang Ming nodded and said,
"Then what?"
"Huh? Then? What then?"
Ma Niubi was confused.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said,
"Yes, it's easy to kill Queding Tangwu, you just need to chop it off with one knife, but what about after killing Queding Tangwu?
Queding Quyang will fight tooth and nail to avenge his father. The barbarians share the same hatred. We have to leave a large army here in Qingshui County to resist the enemy's attack.
Even if our army shows off its might and destroys the top of the bird, what happens next?
The Royal Court in the north and the three northern tribes will send their troops south to seize the grassland territory in the south, and then continue to fight us.
Shall we continue the fight? Keep fighting?
With the power of one county, can we fight against the entire grassland and continue to struggle with the barbarians? "
"Then kill all the prairie barbarians!"
Ma Niubi patted his chest and said.
After hearing this, everyone laughed, feeling that Ma Niubi's words were really outrageous.
Nie Chen shook his head and said,
"Old Ma, there is no end to the killing of the barbarians on the grassland. As long as the grassland remains, the barbarians will continue to appear.
If we kill Queding, the three tribes from the north will come. If we kill the three tribes from the north, the people from further north will come. "
Ouyang Ming nodded and said,
"Yes, General Ma, and other generals, I hope you can understand my lord's strategic plan and plan. Our goal is always the south, the rich land and cities, not in this barren grassland and mountains. , and kept entangled with the barbarians.
Therefore, Queding Tangwu cannot die. We must keep him, live in peace with him, and sign a non-aggression treaty. We must fight south, keep him, and contain other grassland tribes.
In this way, if we have stability in the north, we can concentrate on developing southward, advance, attack, retreat and defend.
On the contrary, we will have to leave heavy troops to defend the grassland, and we will be attacked from both sides! "
Ma Niubi scratched his head in embarrassment, laughed sarcastically, and said,
"You scholars are very smart. I can't tell you, and I don't understand. I am just a soldier, and I know how to kill people with a knife. I will kill whoever the lord tells me to kill, and I don't care about anything else."
"Then don't keep expressing your humble opinions. Look at Zhou An, he doesn't say a word."
Nie Chen smiled.
Seeing that he was named, Zhou An said,
"When will dinner be served? I'm hungry. I'm going to fight for you and you have to take care of the food."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
Nie Chen stood up and said,
"Everyone is starving after a long day of fighting. Hurry up and let the kitchen cook. Qiu Chan, come with me to see Ning Wushuang."
"Okay, he's in the backyard, I'll take you there."
Weng Qiuchan stood up and led Nie Chen outside.
After the princess and her mother left, everyone became more relaxed. Liang Peng, Lin Guangma Niujie and others greeted Wang Hao with a smile. They were all old comrades who started the army together and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
The four Zhou Ping brothers came together. Zhou Ping said to Zhou An,
"Second brother, haven't you always wanted to meet Mr. Ouyang? Now that Mr. Ouyang is free, you should go and talk to him."
Hearing this, Zhou An nodded, took off his helmet, put it on the table, and walked towards Ouyang Ming.
"Zhou An pays homage to Senior Brother Ouyang!"
"Junior brother, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and chat."
Ouyang Ming took half a day to get into the city than Nie Chen. He also heard Zhou Ping talk about Zhou An's record, and he also liked this fierce general very much.
Ouyang Ming asked with a smile,
"Junior brother, in what year did you become a master?"
"Ah, I went up the mountain in the 26th year of Jianping. I came down the mountain in the 28th year of Jianping. I learned martial arts from the master for a total of one year and one year of Qi.
What about you, senior brother? "
"I went up the mountain in the 20th year of Jianping and came down in the 24th year. The Ning Wushuang in the backyard went up the mountain in the 21st year.
I learned strategy from my master, while Wushuang learned military affairs. "
"Then you are all my senior brothers. I have heard many stories about you in the mountains before. In our country, some people call you and me the Great Wind Twins."
“I don’t dare to take it seriously, I’m just not talented, how dare I compare with you, junior brother.
Master, how is your health now? "
"It's okay. He's about to ascend to heaven. In his words, he's about to become an immortal. The old man is chattering away every day."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ouyang Ming spoke very well, and he and Zhou An, a person who was difficult to get along with, had a good conversation. The two senior brothers chatted about things on Yunmeng Mountain.
On the other side, Nie Chen and Weng Qiuchan walked towards the yard where Ning Wushuang was.
Weng Qiuchan supported Nie Chen, her eyes filled with distress.
Nie Chen smiled and patted her hand and said,
"Madam, I haven't seen you and I for almost two months. My husband misses you very much. Do you miss your husband?"
"If you miss me, why don't you take me with you when fighting? If you go out to fight again in the future, I will go with you and keep an eye on you. I can't let you charge in person anymore."
"Hey, don't you have a lot of things to be busy with? You are my good wife."
"I heard that you went to see Ning Wushuang alone?"
