After all, Li Xiuyuan has given her a good impression so far. The most important thing is that neither she nor Qin Miaoyu can see through Li Xiuyuan's realm.
Although it looked like she was only at the first level of distraction, the sword force she had just unleashed had the power to destroy everything in front of her, and she couldn't take the risk.
What's more, the two of them still owe each other a big favor.
Even if you want to take action, you can't do it here and now. This is the principle of Qingyue and a human being. Gratitude and grudges must be kept clear.
Li Xiuyuan also knew that this was a fruitless conversation and did not want to drag it out.
Looking at Qingyue, she said in a deep voice: "I can negotiate with Yinyue on behalf of Dachu, but the premise is that your army withdraws from Black Salt City. This is our bottom line and cannot be questioned. As long as this bottom line is not crossed, other conditions can be negotiated. "
Qingyue nodded and replied: "I will discuss it with the generals when I go back before making a decision. Li Xiuyuan, I hope to meet again on the battlefield someday, and I hope you will be merciful!"
Chun Miaoyu looked at Princess Qingyue with wide eyes. She didn't believe that Her Highness the Princess would say these words.
You must know how proud Princess Qingyue is in the Silver Moon Kingdom. She doesn't care about anyone except Master Yuanzhen.
Qin Miaoyu also looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed, clapped her hands and said, "Little Taoist priest, if we meet another day, you have to be merciful!"
Li looked at the expressions of the two and laughed helplessly.
While extinguishing the charcoal fire in the red clay stove, he replied: "On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, everything can only depend on God's will."
After saying that, he picked up the cup in front of him, raised his head and drank all the tea in it.
"Well said, now that we are on the battlefield, everyone should settle for their own destiny, and don't go out to hang out if you are afraid of death! It is indeed a blessing to see you today. I will serve tea instead of wine here, and wish us all good health!"
After saying these words, Qingyue raised her head and drank all the tea in the cup.
"Little Taoist priest, come to Silver Moon King City when you have time. Sister will take you to visit various places." Qin Miaoyu also drank up the tea in the cup.
"Brother is not a little Taoist priest, he is the general marshal of Da Chu, two sisters." Xiao Long'er, who had slept for a while, vaguely heard the conversation of the three of them and rubbed his eyes.
Princess Qingyue was stunned, looked at Xiao Longer and asked: "Little sister, your brother is now the generalissimo! What a surprise?"
Qin Miaoyu also covered her lips with her hands and murmured to herself: "Hello, Grand Marshal! What a great Li Xiuyuan... Why did you run to be the Marshal of Dachu instead of staying in the academy or coming to my Silver Moon?" "
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "There is no way! I accidentally made a friend in the academy. Unfortunately, he turned out to be the prince of Da Chu. What do you want me to do?"
Qingyue looked at him and sighed softly, and replied quietly: "Marshal Li, I can understand your difficulties, and I also hope you can understand mine..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and replied quietly: "No matter what kind of difficulties you have, it cannot be based on the displacement of the people and the blood of the army!"
Qin Miaoyu, who was standing next to him, frowned and said to himself, "Is there really going to be a war?"
After clearing the table, Li Xiuyuan put on his bamboo hat, took Xiao Long'er's hand and walked outside the bamboo shed. He bowed deeply to the two girls and said goodbye: "On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, so everyone takes care of themselves."
After saying that, he smiled, waved his hand, turned around, took Xiao Longer's hand, and headed towards the final stage.
Xiao Long'er turned around and waved to the two girls: "Sisters, my name is Xiao Long'er. I'll play with you another day!"
In just a moment, the backs of Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Longer disappeared outside the bamboo shed.
Qin Miaoyu looked at Princess Qingyue, frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that this guy would dare to go to the meeting alone after becoming a generalissimo. I admire his courage."
Qingyue looked at the direction in which Li Xiuyuan disappeared and said calmly: "Without this courage, how could he make you and me, two sisters, realize enlightenment and break through the realm in an instant with the wave of his hand?"
"This guy has such a big heart..." Qin Miaoyu said in a daze.
...
After leaving Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu, he walked forward and saw Chu Feng hiding under the tree with a group of soldiers looking at him anxiously.
Chu Feng looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "The Generalissimo saw that woman this time. Are you satisfied with this trip?"
Li Xiuyuan led the army horse inside, looked at him and replied: "It's okay, this war is inevitable. In this case, let them let the horses come."
"It's just that this battle seems to have to be fought!" Chu Feng sighed as he pulled the horse and followed behind.
"I don't expect that chatting with them all day can end a war." Li Xiuyuan carried Xiao Long'er onto the horse, and the group galloped towards the decisive battle.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, although he met Qingyue himself, he failed to persuade the other party to withdraw from the war, but at least he knew what the other party was thinking, and that was enough.
As for the war, it was a matter between Chu Feiyan and the general. All he had to do was fulfill his duties and do his best.
After all, a war is not fought by one person.
While thinking about his thoughts, he rushed into the decisive battle on horseback.
All the way to the city lord's mansion, they saw Chu Feiyan already sitting quietly in the hall, with several plates of pastries and a pot of tea in front of him.
Smelling the fragrance of the cake, Xiao Longer rushed in like a whirlwind, reached out and picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Li Xiuyuan behind him smiled and said: "Xiao Long'er, how many times have I told you? Hurry up and wash your face and hands before eating again."
"How's it going? Have you met the person you should meet? Is it hard to talk? You look like I am the best person in the world."
Chu Feiyan picked up the kettle and poured tea for the three of them, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said quietly.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I confirm that there is no way to convince her, although I have released all my goodwill."
"Will they attack tomorrow?" Chu Feiyan asked softly.
"I don't know. We just need to be ready for a fight at any time. As long as we survive a few days and wait for a heavy rain, I will have a way to win the battle in front of me."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Xiao Longer who walked in with Xiao Qing and said with a smile.
"Brother, I want to drink water. Xiao Long'er is thirsty. The two sisters came to my brother to drink tea, but they didn't wake up Xiao Long'er."
Xiao Longer pulled Xiao Qing to sit down, reached out and grabbed two pieces of pastry, handed one to Xiao Qing, and stuffed his own piece into his mouth.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "I'll make tea right now, and our princess sister will treat us to a nice meal later in the evening."
Chu Feng, who had just walked in, looked at Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er with a smile and said, "We were waiting for the Generalissimo outside the city just now. We shot a few wolves and we can roast them for dinner later in the evening."
Xiao Longer looked up at Chu Feng, squinted her eyes and smiled. These days, she also knew that it would be good to hunt wolves in the wasteland here. Now she is no longer picky about food.
While making tea, Li Xiuyuan looked at Chu Feiyan and said, "Princess, the spies outside the city are close to Yinyue's camp. As soon as they make any movement, we will immediately enter the trenches at the front."
Chu Feiyan thought for a moment, looked up at Li Xiuyuan and said, "How long do you want to rely on these trenches to resist? One day or ten days? The opponent has an army of 200,000."
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then replied after a long while: "If we can block it for a while, even if we throw the whole city to them, it will take them several days to bulldoze it, that's enough... .”
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, the ditch of the Heishui River should be dug in a few days.
"Can they know our plan? What does Qingyue seem to have planned?" Chu Feiyan asked gently.
Li Xiuyuan reached out and touched Xiao Long'er's head, and said calmly: "Looking at her appearance, she naturally wants to win the decisive battle in one day, and then force us to sign an unequal treaty with her, lose money and cede territory, and then return to the court."
"Is she daydreaming, thinking that we have no one in Chu?" Chu Feiyan raised his head, with a ray of anger about to shoot out of his eyes, and replied with clenched fists.
Xiao Qing glanced at Li Xiuyuan, took Xiao Long'er's hand and said, "Li Xiuyuan, do you want to help? Even if Xiao Long'er can't do it, I can still do it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Long'er hugged Xiao Qing's hand tightly and chuckled: "Xiao Long'er is also very powerful. This brother knows best."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two girls and said quietly: "It's not your turn to go to the battlefield for the war."
...
Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu did not stop outside the city, but mounted their horses and headed towards the camp.
Before the application time passed, he returned to the camp.
The general and others who could not wait for a long time walked into the tent and looked at her and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, have you met the other team's coach today? Are they willing to agree to our conditions?"
Princess Qingyue, who had just sat down, was startled and replied coldly: "No, you will not compromise. Their coach is the young man who made a big fuss in the imperial city."
Ye Hui and others were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that Da Chu would let a young man become the head coach. Isn't this too childish?
From General Ye Hui's point of view, even if the opponent's fighting power is not as good as his own, he still has many generals. No matter what, he would not let a young man become the commander of an army.
"Such a hot weather is really hard for the two princesses. Let's have a drink later." Ye Hui sighed.
"Let the army prepare and launch an attack at Chenshi tomorrow." Princess Qingyue thought for a while and said seriously.
"I'll make arrangements right away. We have to give them an unexpected surprise when we fight." Ye Hui replied looking at the two of them.
Ye Wubei asked quietly from the side: "If we attack now, will it be too sudden?"
"Even you thought it was very sudden, and the other party didn't even expect that I just met him and suddenly launched an attack."
Princess Qingyue looked at him and said quietly.
Qin Miaoyu, who was sitting aside, suddenly asked: "Will our heavy weapons enter the battlefield early tomorrow morning? Or should we transport the heavy weapons outside the city first and start a war with them?"
Qingyue shook her head and replied: "No, let's occupy the trenches outside the city tomorrow. Our heavy weapons can't get in, and their heavy equipment can't get out either."
Qin Miaoyu was slightly startled and said, "That's right. Let's bulldoze the trenches outside the city for them first!"
"Yes, after we bulldoze the battle outside the city, watch me push the siege truck to the decisive battle, win a big battle, and make Chu Feiyan beg for peace talks with me."
Qingyue looked at Qin Miaoyu and Ye Wubei and said with a smile.
Ye Wubei looked towards the direction of the decisive battle, and after a moment of silence he said, "Indeed, the soldiers are all eager to win the battle."
Princess Qingyue looked up at the two of them and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, you will fight the battle. Since we have already reached this point, we just need to calm down and compare our patience with them."
"What if they stay in the city and don't come out?" Ye Wubei and Ye Wuming were a little surprised. In their opinion, if the other party stayed in the city and didn't come out, they would force their own side to attack the city.
During the siege, Ye Wubei was reminded of Li Xiuyuan's methods in Black Salt City, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"It would be better if they don't come out. We will hit them with siege vehicles from a distance. It will take a few days to smash a big hole in the city wall." Qingyue replied calmly.
In her opinion, as long as it takes some effort, is there any city that cannot be broken? At most, one should be more careful and not rush to attack the city like outside Black Salt City.
"Let the army have a good rest today, and cook at midnight tomorrow... Rush to the decisive battle at Chenshi, launch a full-scale raid, and strive to capture all the trenches outside the city before noon."
Qingyue looked at the generals and said in a solemn voice.
Ye Wubei was overjoyed when he heard this and clapped his hands and said, "That's good. When we take the position outside the city, we can set up a camp there and let them watch us destroy the city."
Chun Miaoyu pondered for a while and then nodded and said: "We suffered a loss in Black Salt City because we were too impatient to attack. If we are cautious, Li Xiuyuan's little ideas may be of no use."
"That's right!" Princess Qingyue smiled.
