Liang Xiao did not expect to turn enemies into friends with Yan Zhu. There was no need or impossible.

But he could not confront Yan Zhu in front of Dou Qufei and others. First, Yan Zhu's personality is extreme, and the confrontation will only intensify the conflict. Who knows what he will do without any adjustments? Second, Yan Zhu is the envoy of the emperor after all, and they are the officials who protect Yan Zhu. Disrespect to Yan Zhu is equivalent to disrespect to the emperor. Once he leaves an impression of being rebellious, it will be detrimental to their career.

People should be proud, but they must not be ignorant of the overall situation. After all, they are the court officials and are no longer pure rangers.

The biggest problem for Li Jiao and even the father and son of the Li family was that they did not make up for this situation. They brought the habits of Ranger He'er to the court. But this cannot be blamed for this. Most people in this era are like this, including Yan Zhu.

Sometimes, Liang Xiao couldn't tell whether he was worldly wise or the Han people were naive. In short, he was unwilling to fight Yan Zhu like a child like Li Jiao.

Yan Zhu also realized his situation. Although the Minyue Army retreated, his mission was not over yet. Especially because of his stubbornness, he lost the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Minyue Army. If he wanted to force Minyue to bow to the court, he would have to spend more time.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He lost his chances of fighting because of his anger, and it was indeed his own fault.

"We should take advantage of the victory to pursue Dong'ou first."

Dou Qufei Heshou agreed and immediately sent someone to go into the water to salvage the wreckage and the body, and sent someone to chase him. Although he knew it would be useless to catch up, he still had to do some form.

Immediately afterwards, Dou Qufei summoned the powerful powerful people from Wu County to discuss the aftermath. He was so troubled by Minyue. How could he live this year? Many ordinary people were robbed and impoverished. Without the support of these big families, it is very likely that Minyue had just started and the people had something to do.

As an envoy, Yan Zhu naturally had to participate in the symposium. However, the powerful people had a lot of opinions about Yan Zhu, and many people sarcastically accused Yan Zhu of making mistakes. If the main force of the county soldiers could set up an ambush along the Songjiang River, how could the Minyue Army withdraw so easily? At that time, most of the spoils were regained and then asking the court for rewards in the name of a great victory can make up for a lot of losses. Now, there is nothing left.

As the guards, Liang Xiao and others saw Yan Zhu ridicule and humiliate by the villagers, and saw Yan Zhu's dilemma of being angry but having no choice but to do anything. They once again witnessed Dou Qufei's helplessness. Faced with these arrogant and arrogant tyrants, it was really not easy to manage them well.

No wonder Emperor Wu of Han wanted to value cruel officials. It would be impossible to deal with these people without any ruthless means. Dou Qufei's family declined and had a terrible prospect, and the children of aristocratic families were even more unable to do so.

...

The next day, a good news came from the chasing soldiers.

The Minyue Army who fled into the sea met Liu Ling, the Huainan man-in-law who came to Kuaiji to collect folklore. Liu Ling commanded the tower ships to rush into the enemy's formation, defeating more than ten Minyue warships. He captured dozens of people including Zhengwu, the general of the Minyue Army, and Jing Zhao, under the command of Liu Ju, the prince of the rebel Wu, were rushing to Wu County.

Yan Zhu was very surprised when he heard this. He intuitively realized that this "accidental encounter" was a bit too coincidental. Liu Ling didn't come early or late, but he came when the Minyue Army entered the sea? Moreover, this battle was a coincidence. If Yu Shan and Liu Ju's ship were not sunk, can Liu Ling win by just one of the tower ships?

Yan Zhu was full of suspicion, but he didn't say much. No matter what, the unexpected result also gave him some face.

Half a day later, Liu Ling's ship arrived in Wuxian. Yan Zhu and Dou Qufei went to the riverside to greet him in person. As soon as they met, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Mr. Yan is really surprising. Not only is he calm and unrest in the face of danger, he also knows that people are good at placing people, and sends men to guerrillas outside the city, which really opens my eyes. Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the Minyue people, I really can't believe my eyes."

Looking at Liu Ling's delicate little face with a little admiring look, Yan Zhu couldn't stop smiling, and said a few words of modesty.

"Why is Master Weng here?"

"I've finished watching it in Jiangdu, so I'm going to come to Kuaiji to see it." Liu Ling smiled and said, "I'm really lucky. I made a contribution as soon as I arrived in Kuaiji. Lord Yan, do I have the chance to receive a reward?"

"Of course, of course. If you have merits, you will naturally be rewarded. If you want to help me, please ask for me for me."

"Then I'll thank you sir." Liu Ling smiled, glanced in the crowd, paused on Liang Xiao's face for a moment, and then moved away inadvertently. At that moment, she picked the corner of her mouth, as if she was a little proud.

Liang Xiao didn't move, as if he hadn't heard it, but he was really proud. Liu Ling's mouth was so scammered that he deceived Yan Zhu. After admitting this matter in front of so many officials, how could he change his words in the future? When this matter was reported to the emperor, it would be a foregone conclusion.

Liu Ling then asked Zhengwu and Jing Zhao to banish. Both of them had soaked in the water, and they had no chance to change the wet clothes on their bodies. They were so cold that their faces turned blue and dejected, and they were completely depressed. Jing Zhao's depressed eyes suddenly became fierce when he saw the men.

"Who is Liang Xiao?" His eyes swept across the face of each Langguan and finally fell on Liang Xiao's face. Among these Langguans, Liang Xiao is the youngest. More importantly, he has a pair of ape arms that are at least half a palm longer than others, and it is not difficult to recognize. "It's you?"

Liang Xiao grinned. "It's me, what can you do to me?"

"Give my son back" Jing Zhao shouted while struggling, trying to break free from the soldiers' control, rushed over and bit Liang Xiao for two. Unfortunately, he had been pampered for too long and had been hungry for another day. He could not break free even with all his strength, but instead made himself angry.

"You save money." Liang Xiao shrugged with disdain. "If you are not honest, I will send you to accompany your son."

Jing Zhao was so angry that he roared, "I'll fight with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ge came forward, shook his hand and shaved a big ear, causing Jing Zhao to turn around in the same place, and sat on the ground, his face immediately swollen. Qin Ge shouted sternly: "Bold, how dare you shout in front of the emperor's envoy?"

Jing Zhao hurried on the ground. "You colluded with the master and apprentice inside and outside, ruining my major and ruining my son's life. Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao, even if I go to the bottom of the nine springs, I will not spare you."

Yan Zhu looked at Jing Zhao and Liang Xiao, and his eyes were a little more entangled.

Jing Zhao is one of the few generals around Liu Ju. He was captured, and only Huan Yuan is left by Liu Ju. Huan Yuan is Liang Xiao’s master. Regardless of whether they collude internally or externally, at least Huan Yuan himself has the intention to negotiate. If he could take power, his mission would be more likely to be successful.

But this way, I have to be more polite to Liang Xiao, otherwise Liang Xiao would not be willing to help him.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao is not Li Jiao. He knows how to advance and retreat, and knows to put the overall situation first. Let’s talk about it carefully, maybe there is a chance.

After the banquet, Yan Zhu called Liang Xiao alone to the room. "Liang Jun, do you think your master still has the possibility of a peace talk now?"

Liang Xiao noticed Yan Zhu's attitude change, especially no longer calling him condescendingly, knowing that he was really anxious. The job he thought was going well had been delayed for more than two months, but he had not seen any chance of success, so Yan Zhu couldn't hold back.

"Yes. But..." Liang Xiao changed his words and frozen the smile that had just appeared on Yan Zhu's face. "Even if my master is willing to talk, it is just a delaying strategy. If the adults think that he can stop the war, he may lose his optimism."

Yan Bu raised his eyebrows. "He refused to turn to the light and surrender to the court?"

"My master is from Wu. He was born to be a citizen of Wu and has the legacy of ancient scholars." Liang Xiao sighed. "For him, Wu is his country of origin. It is probably impossible to persuade him to abandon Liu Ju and surrender to the court."

Yan Zhu shook his head depressedly, his face becoming ugly.

Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Maybe it would be easier to persuade Liu Ju to surrender."

"What?" Yan Zhuo was stunned, and the flame that had just been extinguished in his eyes lit up again.

He spent those days with Liu Ju and knew Liu Ju better. It was difficult to live under someone else's house, and Liu Ju was afraid that he would come back in his dreams. The reason why he didn't talk at the beginning was because he wanted Huan Yuan to win a battle and have more bargaining chips for negotiation. Now Huan Yuan is futile, but instead defeats Jing Zhao, Jing Zhao and his son, what strength he has to offer?

If you grant him a marquis, you should be able to induce him to surrender, right?

Yan Zhu was moved and thought to himself. Liang Xiao sat quietly beside him, frowning slightly, as if he was racking his brains and thinking hard. Yan Zhu saw it and couldn't help laughing. The martial artist was just a martial artist. No matter how good the arrow was shot, his brain was not enough, and he was brave but not smart.

"You go out first. Have a good rest. We will soon arrive at Dong'ou." Yan Zhu paused and said, "Let's go by sea, and the Master Huainan will walk with us."

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes, responded indifferently, walked out, greeted Wei Qing, who was standing outside the door, and left. He knew Yan Zhu's pride in his heart and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Do you really think Liu Ling is walking with you?

Seeing Liang Xiao disappearing outside the door, Yan Zhu sat down, pondered for a while, picked up the pen and ink and booklets, and began to submit a memorial to the emperor. Whether he could be granted a title to Liu Ju was an important condition for whether he could persuade Liu Ju to surrender. No matter how brave he was, he would not dare to make a decision without authorization. He had to ask the emperor for instructions first.

In addition, he also had to give a preliminary report to the emperor about what happened recently so that the emperor could know his hard work. The New Year is approaching, and some princes will enter the capital and court. Even if Liu An, the King of Huainan, will submit a statement. If he cannot solve the problem of Dong'ou as soon as possible, he is afraid that Liu An will talk about the way of Huang Lao, and make the emperor angry.

If the emperor gets angry, his errands will be even more difficult. He must let the emperor know his difficulties before Liu An speaks—
