Chapter 889
"What, the deal is done?"
At the place where the Wu clan entertained guests, Mu Bai was shocked when he heard the news brought back by the person in front of him, and asked in disbelief.
"yes."
Huanzhu responded with a smile, "The Wu clan no longer asks for the city. We can also discuss the matter of silver and cattle and sheep."
"How did Brother Li convince the Witch Queen?"
Mu Bai came back to his senses and asked in disbelief.
He could see the Witch Queen's attitude today. She didn't have any sincerity in peace talks at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so open-minded.
"It's a long story."
Huanzhu smiled softly and said, "We will discuss it in detail when we have time. Your Highness, Fourth Highness, should discuss with some adults from Honglu Temple about the compensation of silver and cattle and sheep. By the way, we still don't want to agree to the condition of war horses."
After all, Dashang is already short of horses."
"I see."
Mu Bai suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded, "Thanks to Brother Li this time. If the peace talks are reached, Brother Li will be the first to contribute."
"It doesn't matter whether you have merit or not."
Huanzhu said softly, "The key is to get King Guanshan to return reinforcements as soon as possible. The situation in the north is not very good."
"Yes, the war cannot be delayed."
Mu Bai said in a deep voice, "I will go and discuss with some adults from Honglu Temple first. Brother Li can do whatever he wants."
After saying that, Mu Bai turned around and left without any further delay.
"It's not easy."
Huanzhu looked at the back of the fourth prince and felt a little relieved. This was her first mission, and she finally fulfilled her mission.
She now understands why her brother and sister Youwei are so busy.
The Li family's mission is really not that easy to accomplish.
Everything is always difficult at the beginning, is this a good start for her?
Thinking of this, Huanzhu felt a little happy.
When my brother comes back, I must take credit!
Three days later.
In Nanyue City, a personal guard walked over quickly, his face full of joy, and said, "King Wu, the Wu Clan has withdrawn its troops!"
"retreat?"
After hearing this, King Guan Shan of the Shuai Mansion immediately walked out with shock in his eyes.
Could it be that Your Highness and the others have reached peace talks with the Wu Clan?
"King Wu."
At this moment, another guard hurriedly came over and said, "Letter, a letter sent by His Majesty the Fourth Highness."
King Guanshan stepped forward, took the letter, opened it, took a quick look, and finally showed a smile on his face.
The deal is done!
"Let the soldiers prepare, we will return to the Central Plains tomorrow!" King Guanshan ordered.
"yes!"
The two personal guards took the order, turned around and left to convey the order.
Two more days later.
Great Shang Capital, Shou'an Palace.
A chamberlain walked over quickly and reported with surprise on his face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news. Your Royal Highnesses and the others have reached an agreement with the Wu Clan, and King Guanshan is on his way to Banshi."
"good!"
In the palace, Emperor Shang heard the words and stood up with a slap on the table, his face full of relief.
The fourth child really did not disappoint him.
With the help from Guanshan, the crisis in the hinterland of Dashan and the northern border can be alleviated a lot.
Dashang's newly recruited troops are also undergoing emergency training and will soon be put into the battlefield. By then, it will be the period of Dashang's full-scale counterattack.
At the same time, Dashang entered the northern border.
The war horses galloped past. The 10,000 cavalry led by Li Ziye and the 20,000 cavalry led by Tantai Zhen were all exhausted after more than ten days of chasing and competing.
When Mobei attacked the city before, the city was destroyed. Therefore, the people of Mobei who moved south also lost the protection of the city. In nearly half a month, they were robbed of an unknown amount of property by 10,000 cavalrymen led by Li Ziye.
.
Of course, what Li Ziye and the Dashang cavalry wanted to rob most were food and property, and they just grabbed a few items.
Lieutenant General Luo Xiao has a tendency to keep getting fatter. It can be seen that he has a good appetite.
Li Ziye was also speechless about this.
The more he fights, the more he gets fatter, and only Luo Xiao is a foodie.
"drive!"
In the wilderness, Dashang's 10,000 cavalry rushed forward, and for the unknown number of times, they broke through the encirclement and suppression of Mobei's cavalry.
Li Ziye's tactics are very clear. If they don't have reinforcements, they must reduce the loss of troops as much as possible and not engage in head-on confrontation with the Mobei cavalry.
They only have enough food for 10,000 cavalry, so they can eat as much as they can. Every time they grab it, it's enough to last for many days.
They dare to rob it, but the Mobei Iron Cavalry does not.
See who can outlast whom.
"Master Hou, it seems that Tantai Zhen and the others are not chasing them as closely as before."
After marching for half a day, the army temporarily stopped to rest. Luo Xiao stared at the south and said.
"The backup can't keep up."
Li Ziye said, "The people in Mobei have just moved south and have too much to take care of themselves. There is no surplus food to support them. Tantai Zhen and his friends have to transport their food from Baidi City. How could it be so timely? Now, the offensive and defensive forces have disappeared!"
"Master Hou, you mean to fight?" Luo Xiao said in shock.
"If you don't hit them, hit their back-up."
Li Ziye said, "Tantai really has 20,000 cavalry, but his grain transport troops don't have that."
"My subordinate understands."
Luo Xiao came back to his senses and said with admiration, "Master Hou is really a tactical wizard."
"What a fart."
Li Ziye said angrily, "Can you use your brain? Fighting a war is not an endorsement. You must know how to be flexible. In addition, be careful. You must also send spies to find out the truth before fighting. Those grain transport troops may also be used by Tantai Zhen and others.
Come and catch our bait.”
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, our spies include many people from the northern border. They are familiar with the surrounding terrain. They know exactly where to hide and will not be plotted by those Mobei people." Luo Xiao said, patting his chest.
"This is the only benefit of fighting on our doorstep."
Li Ziye sighed with emotion and warned, "Luo Xiao, that Tantai Zhen now has at least the strength of the late Fourth Realm. If you meet head-on, you have to be more careful. Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. That Tantai Zhen wants the most."
The people to kill are you and me."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."
Luo Xiao nodded and said, "My subordinates are also in the Four Realms, and the Four Realms are against the Four Realms. Why is it that Tantai really captured us?"
"Yes, the young man is very confident."
Li Ziye patted the person in front of him on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way and said, "If we really face each other, don't embarrass me. If you can't win, just run away!"
Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment and then responded helplessly, "My subordinates know."
"Master Hou!"
When two people are talking.
far away.
A spy rushed back on horseback and said happily, "When my subordinates were investigating the enemy's situation just now, they captured one of the enemy's scouts. After interrogating him, they got some good news."
"What good news?" Li Ziye asked puzzledly.
"King Guanshan has returned with his troops for reinforcements!" the spy reported.
"King Guanshan returns to help?"
Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly.
The wait is finally here!
When the King of Guanshan returned to help, the Eight Tribes of Mobei became even more anxious to destroy them.
If you are anxious, you may cause chaos. That's good. He will just wait for Tantai to make a mistake.
Baidi City.
On the city.
The moon in the Tantai mirror stood quietly, looking towards the south, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
As expected, great merchants would not give in so easily.
Anyway, if the opponent is too weak, it will be meaningless to fight.
The Wu clan negotiated peace with Da, and the Li family probably played a big role.
Chapter completed!
