While they were talking, the officers and soldiers who had gone to fetch the crossbows came with the bows and crossbows under orders from Huangfu Song.

The Zhuozhou Army was well prepared and deliberately brought a convoy with them when they came for peace talks, just to facilitate their reception.

Li Mengxi sent someone to contact him.

The Zhuozhou sergeant who was responsible for receiving the crossbows carefully picked up the crossbows brought by the officers and soldiers, carefully inspected them, and accepted them if there were no major problems.

"A pair of crossbows!"

"Second crossbow mate!"

"Third pair of crossbows!"

…

While picking, the soldiers of Zhuozhou shouted and sang loudly, as if they were doing business, as if on purpose.

Every time the Zhuozhou soldiers shouted, Huangfu Song's face turned uglier.

When there were more than sixty crossbows, a cart was full.

Pull back a full car and pick up an empty car.

At this time, Li Mengxi took out a large piece of papyrus and presented it in front of Huangfu Song.

Li Mengxi said politely, "Thousands of bows and crossbows are collected without a name, so how about using the name of purchasing to make the name legitimate?"

Huangfusong looked at the straw paper.

What was written on the papyrus was nothing more than the following: The Zhuozhou rebel army was short of equipment, so Huangfu Song sold thousands of bows and crossbows to the Zhuozhou army for a price of ten thousand guan.

Huangfusong withdrew his eyes and raised his head, looking at Li Mengxi coldly.

Li Mengxi was not afraid to look at Huangfu Song.

How could Huangfu Song not see through Li Mengxi's plan?

However, now that the situation is critical, there is no other way.

With a gloomy look on his face, Huangfu Song's facial muscles twitched, he stiffly picked up the handsome seal, and reluctantly stamped it on the papyrus paper.

Li Mengxi stretched out his hand towards Huangfu Song, who looked at him angrily.

Li Mengxi remained unmoved, stretched out his fingers to the ink pad, pressed his thumb on the ink pad, and then lightly pressed a handprint on the papyrus.

Smiling at Huangfu Song, Li Mengxi said, "I heard about business affairs in the countryside. The buyer and seller signed a signature as proof. After all, the seal of the commander-in-chief of the three armies is a public seal. Only by sealing it with your finger can it be regarded as a private act. Does the old general think so?"

Huangfu Song opened his eyes immediately and stared at Li Mengxi fiercely, with a look that wanted to cut Li Mengxi into pieces with a thousand knives.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Li Mengxi looked indifferent, and Huangfu Song was almost angry.

In the end, Huangfusong still had to suppress his anger.

Huangfusong stretched out his fingers and pressed some ink pads with great force, expressing all his anger in his movements, and pressed hard on the papyrus paper.

When it was finished, there was a deep fingerprint on the papyrus.

If Huangfu Song's seal of command was only a matter of official business, the officers and soldiers could still intercede for Huangfu Song, or the quartermaster and others could bear the blame.

However, the imprint is different. A single press of the finger print is Huangfusong's personal act, and there is absolutely no possibility for Huangfusong to evade it afterwards.

On the side, the singing and shouting of Zhuozhou soldiers counting the number of bows and crossbows continued, just like the background.

Li Mengxi carefully collected the straw paper and glanced at it. On the straw paper, two bright red fingerprints were clearly visible.

Another powerful piece of physical evidence was obtained.

The smile on Li Mengxi's lips flashed away.

Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at Huangfu Song. His eyes were sharp and he said, "May I ask the old general what kind of crime should you be punished according to military law for selling arms privately?"

Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Behead him according to the law!"

Li Mengxi smiled and nodded, "If you sell arms privately, you should be executed. The thieves have thousands of bows and crossbows. Such a serious crime, the old general thought, are they the three Yi tribes? Or the nine Yi tribes?" Li Mengxi looked at him.

Shanghang smiled and looked at Huangfu Song indifferently.

Li Mengxi's threat was so vicious that Huangfu Song became furious, his face turned red, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped the short table hard.

There was a snapping sound as the short skirt was slapped, and it began to sway.

Li Mengxi was calm and looked at the swaying short boy. He was not angry because of Huangfu Song, so he decided to keep silent.

Li Mengxi had a calm look on his face, minding his own business, and said in an unhurried and pointed manner, "If our Zhuozhou rebels are bandits, the old general is a bandit with huge wealth. I'm afraid that the old general's head alone will not be enough."

The Ping court was furious and fearful that the three tribes would also be implicated."

"If the two sides are in peace, our Zhuozhou Army is a rebel army, not a bandit. Then the old general has given me the bows and crossbows of the Zhuozhou Army. He is not guilty of any crime, but he has done meritorious service in motivating the people."

"Whether our Zhuozhou Army is a rebel or a bandit, the old general must have his own thoughts."

Li Mengxi's tone was calm, but he said the most aggressive words, threatening the Huangfu Song clan.

Huangfusong's fists were clenched, his bones clenched loudly, and he was shaking with anger.

If Zhang Fei hadn't been there, Huangfu Song would have hit him with one punch.

After some threats with knives and guns, it was not over yet. Li Mengxi was very considerate and continued to help Huangfu Song analyze how dangerous Huangfu Song's three tribes and even nine tribes were.

"I dare to ask the old general, is the court clear today? Is the emperor holy?

Although I live in the countryside, I also know that today the emperor favors and trusts the ten constant servants, so that the court is dim and treacherous and fawning.

The veteran general commanded tens of thousands of imperial troops with unparalleled majesty.

But there was another person who was also loyal to the country and commanded tens of thousands of troops. This person was Lu Zhi.

I'm afraid the general doesn't know that because Lu Zhi refused to bribe the traitor Zuo Feng, he was resented by Zuo Feng, had his military power taken away, and was thrown into prison."

"Haha," Li Mengxi sneered, "Does the old general think that the court is like this, harming a loyal person?

Not difficult!

Wan Guan is enough to harm a loyal person! Even if he is innocent, Wan Guan is enough to make him guilty!"

After saying that, Li Mengxi looked at Huangfu Song, with a smile on his lips, and solemnly warned, "I hope you will take care of yourself, general, and don't be harmed by traitors."

Li Mengxi deliberately emphasized the word "treasure". Rather than advising people to cherish it, it is more of a hidden threat.

The words are very clear.

Now the court hall is dim and full of smoke.

It doesn't matter who is loyal and who is thief.

If you bribe with millions of dollars, it will be easy to harm even an important minister who commands an army of tens of thousands.

See, Lu Zhi has learned a lesson from the past.

Just one person and tens of thousands of money can be enough to harm a loyal person, Huangfu Song burst out laughing.

Huangfusong knew everything about what was going on in the court. Why not?

After laughing for a long time, Huangfusong laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.

"That's a lot more. You don't need ten thousand guan. Why am I worth ten thousand guan? I've been on bad terms with Shi Changshi for a long time. You and Shi Changshi's five thousand guan are enough to take my head." Huangfu Song smiled and shook his head repeatedly.

Suddenly, Huangfu Song suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Mengxi. He said word by word, "I have earned a fortune from Han Dynasty and received favor from the emperor. In today's turbulent world, how dare I not do my best! Die? Why fear death!"

"

Li Mengxi was silent.

Although various calculations can prevent the Zhuozhou Army from being attacked by the imperial court in the future and achieve temporary stability, the imperial court can bully the Zhuozhou Army and stabilize it, but Huangfu Song cannot control it.

At this time, the soldiers from Zhuozhou who were responsible for receiving the crossbows came back and reported that a thousand bows and crossbows were enough.

Before Li Mengxi could answer, Huangfu Song asked coldly, "The weapons have been given to your Zhuozhou Army. When will you withdraw from the siege?"

Li Mengxi paused and said, "Tomorrow."

Huangfu Song immediately became angry and stood up, slapping his gum, "How dare you play with me like this!"

Li Mengxi also stood up and said calmly, "Old general, don't be impatient. It's not because the younger generation broke the contract, but because we are worried that if your officers and soldiers break out of the siege, they will counterattack and our army will not be able to resist it. Therefore, we must be prepared for it."

Huangfu Song endured his anger and said, "Then tell me when will the siege be withdrawn?"

"Tomorrow night."

"At night? Can't I be a three-year-old child?" Huangfu Song laughed angrily, "Our army is marching at night. If you attack by surprise, how can I not be defeated?" Huangfu Song was angry.

Li Mengxi still had a blank look on his face, "The veteran general also knows that traveling at night is extremely dangerous. That's why the younger generation dared to withdraw and encircle us at night without worrying about the counterattack of our officers and soldiers."

Huangfu Song was still angry and shouted, "That's ridiculous! How can I believe you? How do I know you won't attack me at night?!"

"What a joke!" Li Mengxi sneered, "If I want to kill you, I can give the order now and before dark, I can kill all 30,000 of your troops. Why wait any longer at night or make a sneak attack?"

Li Mengxi mercilessly mocked Huangfu Song, leaving Huangfu Song speechless.

At the end, Li Mengxi looked at Huangfu Song and said, "Tomorrow night, near morning, before dawn, after the rooster crows, it is time to withdraw the siege."

After saying that, Li Mengxi turned around to leave, but when he turned around, Li Mengxi suddenly turned back, looked at Huangfu Song, and said with a smile, "Old General, please dismantle the camp early tonight so that you can leave immediately when the camp is broken out."
