Chapter 39 Negotiations
On the sixth day, the battlefield in front of Miyunsai was completely calmed down. It seemed that Lou Squad did not plan to attack the city today, so he sent a cavalry to send a letter to Fang Zhiwen.
Fang Zhiwen was very happy after reading it and immediately replied to a letter.
So, today the messengers of both sides ran back and forth on the battlefield. The scene was extremely strange, which made Xiangxiang, who was standing on the top of the city, laughed loudly.
It is really too much to show all the letters, so we can see at a glance that we change the letters into conversations.
Lou Ban: "You have been blocked by me in the city. As long as I don't withdraw the siege for a day, you can only stay in the city. I don't have to fight hard, just waste you to death."
Fang Zhiwen: "I have reserved grain for two years in the city. There are also arable land and grazing grass in the city. How can you trap me to death? The rangers outside the city are constantly harassing and attacking you. As long as you kill hundreds of people every day, sooner or later, your army of 100,000 will be exhausted. Oh, by the way, you only have 60,000 now."
Lou Ban: "When our Wuhuan army captures Youbeiping, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, your small town will be destroyed in an instant."
Fang Zhiwen: "Idiot, Wuhuan's attack on Youbeiping was not Youbeiping, but actually Wuyan. Only when Tadun annexed the Wuyan tribe will you be destroyed!"
Lou Ban: "It's outrageous. Even if our troops annex the Wuyan troops, it will be a powerful force in our troops. Why would I be destroyed?"
Fang Zhiwen: "Ha, ha, ha."
Lou Ban: "I will withdraw my troops if you give me 100,000 stones of grain and grass."
Fang Zhiwen: "You leave all the cattle, sheep and supplies, and I promise not to pursue you."
Lou Ban: "Don't bully people too much!"
Fang Zhiwen: "The more soldiers you use, the happier you will be. I don't care. Anyone in Wuhuan can make the decision. It's better if you are a fool."
Lou Ban: "What's the truce here? You must not pursue it."
Fang Zhiwen: "Do you think I really dare to pursue you? But I will give you a suggestion. I heard that the tribe of the Wuyan tribe is in the northern part of Youbeiping. Now he leads his army and Tadun to attack Youbeiping. You don't have the opportunity to take the opportunity to seize the Wuyan tribe, wouldn't it be great!"
Lou Ban: "How can my father tolerate me like this?"
Fang Zhiwen: "Silly, Qiu Liju can tolerate Tadun to annex Wuyan, why can't you to annex Wuyan? As long as you annex Wuyan, your father will be happy. As for who annexed it, is that important?"
Lou Ban: "So what if Tadun is to pursue it?"
Fang Zhiwen: "Simple, you annex the Wuyan tribe and then send someone to inform Wuyan that it was Tadun's idea. Wait for them to go together, and add the Han army and Yiren troops in Youbeiping County to ensure that both Wuyan and Tadun are in a defeat. At that time, Tadun dares to come and cause trouble for you. As for Wuyan, just resolutely remove it. Your father must also get rid of Wuyan."
Lou Ban: "But I have people from Tadun here."
Fang Zhiwen: "Tomorrow, I will give him an order to attack. I will help you get rid of him, but you must leave five thousand war horses and twenty thousand cattle and sheep as the price."
Lou Ban: "But Tadun is not very popular with his father. I am afraid that this will not calm his father's anger."
Fang Zhiwen: "Tell me the location of the Tadun tribe, and I will help you weaken his strength. I heard that the strength on the grassland is king. Isn't that the case?"
Lou Ban: "I will not sell the interests of the Wuhuan people."
Fang Zhiwen: "It was done by the Xianbei people. Taking advantage of the emptiness behind the Wuhuan, the Xianbei people have always coveted the Wuhuan people. This time, the Wuhuan attacked the Han Dynasty, which also contained ill-intentions. Can't your father see it?"
Lou Ban: "Then why does my father still actively attack the Han Dynasty?"
Fang Zhiwen: "In order to annex the Wuyan tribe, isn't your mission just harassment?"
Lou Ban: "Tomorrow I will order Zheluo to attack, and Tadun's tribes are swimming in the Rushui River, northeast of Fengning Camp."
Fang Zhiwen: "When you leave, remember to leave behind 5,000 war horses and 20,000 cattle and sheep. I will help you wipe out the Tadun tribe."
In this way, a meeting-free negotiation was completed. In fact, this negotiation had no binding force. Everyone just took the needs and then used those interests to drive the other party, trying to enable the other party to act in accordance with their own interests.
Of course, Fang Zhiwen could not believe in Lou Ban completely. Who knows whether he would set up an ambush in Fengning area and wait for himself to fall into the trap. Of course, Lou Ban could not believe in Fang Zhiwen, who knew whether Fang Zhiwen would sell his actions to Tadun in a blink of an eye.
However, Lou Ban had already planned. As long as Tadun's beloved general Zhe Luo died here, Tadun and Fang Zhiwen would definitely be in power. He led his troops to advance to the northern part of Youbeiping. It can also be said that the attack on Yuyang County was blocked and he wanted to go to meet Tadun. If he walked to Beidaun and Wuyan, he still did not notice it. He annexed the Wuyan tribe in one fell swoop. By then, his strength would increase greatly, and his father would not be able to pick out the meat he had eaten into his mouth.
If Wuyan and Tadun can be provoked, it will be better. Even if it cannot, Qiu Liju will not allow Wuyan to instigate Tadun to turn against Lou Ban, and Wuyan will die!
As for Fang Zhiwen sneaked into Tadun's army, he notified the king's tent a little later. When Fang Zhiwen destroyed the Tadun's army, he would destroy Fang Zhiwen himself, killing two birds with one stone!
As for Fang Zhiwen, he released a carrier pigeon that day and ordered Li Shehu's troops to lead a thousand cavalry to sweep away the small and medium-sized tribes under the tent of Qiu Liju in the southern part of Wuhuan to provoke the large tribes of Tadun. He is not a fool.
He also ordered Li Yuanzhi and others to suspend harass the Wuhuan rear camp and closely monitor the movements of the Wuhuan people.
Tian Chou, Murong Fang and Yan Xiaoxiang both felt that the negotiation and plan were a bit incredible. This correspondence exchange like a child's play can confirm such a big event? Could it be the other party's conspiracy?
"Brother, could it be Lou Ban's conspiracy?"
"What if he doesn't matter, we have no losses anyway. As for Li Shehu's journey, we were originally planning to do this. If Lou Ban returned to the army and surrounded Li Shehu and let him throw away the prisoners and escape, the loss would be the Wuhuan people."
"He wasn't tempting us to pursue us, right?"
"I don't plan to pursue it either, and, in this mountainous area, they want to ambush us? We are the only ones who ambush them!"
"That's right, as long as we work steadily, there is no possibility of using a plan at all." Murong Fang nodded affirmatively.
Tian Chou stretched his brows and waved his hand, "Look at the action of Lou Clan tomorrow, you will know that if he really sends Zheluo to die, it will be a good thing for us. I hope it will be a good thing for another famous general card."
"Haha, I'm accepting your noble words!" Fang Zhiwen patted Tian Chou's shoulder hard, making Tian Chou grin.
At night, Fang Zhiwen still insisted on training, and Xiangxiang also practiced with her. Over the years, Xiangxiang has become accustomed to this kind of life. This life that is becoming stronger and hardworking is very attractive, making people feel fulfilled and calm. More importantly, although they can be with their brother, although they don’t talk much, Xiangxiang is very at ease as long as they are together. She always wants to raise the corners of her mouth and reveal the small tiger teeth.
"What are you laughing at? Girl."
"No, I'm in a good mood!"
"Haha, you have gradually adapted to this world when you feel in a good mood in this cruel war."
"Well, as long as you have an older brother, this world is a good world."
"I learned sweet words very quickly. Your mouth is the sweetest in this city!"
"Hehehe, don't your brother like it?"
"Yeah, I like it!"
Thinking that Xiangxiang is always a player and will leave one day, Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then he thought that in this chaotic world, countless people die and countless families are broken every day. Perhaps, it is already very lucky to have these, and we can't ask for more.
"As long as Xiangxiang is happy!"
Xiangxiang tilted her head and looked at Fang Zhiwen seriously, looking at his clear dark eyes as clear as water, and looking at the corners of his gently curled mouth, her heart was like a flower, which suddenly bloomed. The fragrance of flowers was like warm happiness, instantly filling every cell in her body.
"Yeah!" Xiangxiang nodded vigorously.
The next day, after breakfast, the Wuhuan people began to arrange troops and prepare for the attack. Fang Zhiwen gathered generals around him, preparing to see if there were really big fish coming to his door.
Zhe Luo was appointed as the main attacker today, but he didn't say anything. This was just a normal army rotation, and it was just his turn. Moreover, there were two other ten thousand men to assist him today. They would attack from different directions, hoping to attack the city wall.
Through the Golden Eagle, Fang Zhiwen found that Lou Clan seemed to be doing a real show and wanted to attack with all his strength. But this was fine, just letting Lou Clan know the consequences of not keeping his promises and also let him be sober.
When all the troops of Wuhuan entered their positions, a sound of arrows rang through the battlefield, and today's attack officially kicked off.
Fang Zhiwen had already sneaked to the north of the fortress. Because there were a large number of giant crossbows on the front, the Wuhuan people could not attack quickly. On the ridge here, the elite led by a ten thousand men were even faster.
Fang Zhiwen hid behind the city wall, waiting for the battlefield to be pulled open, waiting for the captain Wan to charge with the cloud ladder, waiting for the ladder to set up the city wall. Fang Zhiwen suddenly stood up, and the arrow that had been prepared for the cloud piercing was almost aimed, and a "sneer" piercing through the forehead of the cheapest commander Wan. The distance was too close. The commander Wan didn't notice it at all. The key was that the sound of the cloud piercing arrow was too confusing. In addition, the shameless Fang Zhiwen was wearing the uniform of a militia, so the commander Wan had no idea that there was such a killing star hidden on the city wall, and it was naturally a tragedy. As soon as the commander died, the elite soldiers retreated completely.
Fang Zhiwen ignored the harvest under the city and turned to the south wall. At this time, Murong Fang and a group of military generals were dragging out another ten thousand men's captain, but the price of this delay was a bit high. The defender had already died in the area and two of the generals were dead. Fortunately, Murong Fang brought the reserve team here, otherwise his general would have suffered serious losses.
As soon as Fang Zhiwen entered the range, he was an arrow through the cloud. Although the captain subconsciously dodged for a while, he was still severely injured and was about to turn around and want to leave, but a piece of military skills hit him. Then he was shot continuously by Fang Zhiwen and finally fell on the city wall. Fang Zhiwen threw down the words "Pick up the mess" and turned around and ran towards the main gate.
[Today I'm updated late, two chapters together, in fact, two chapters are better together, it looks satisfying, and there's no need to wait for the next chapter. However, in order to increase clicks, the writers' despicable decisions were updated separately. I confess that I am too, so now I'm saving manuscripts. Everyone's good suggestions will take a while to reflect, haha. In addition, yesterday, due to the rewards from many friends, I didn't have the names one by one. In short, thank all the enthusiastic book friends who support them!]
Chapter completed!
