Chapter 161 meet

During the second negotiation, Mu Fan stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point and put forward the request of Wei State: the Chu army returned all the cities occupied by Yuluo Prefectures, then retreated to the national border between the two sides before the expedition, and apologized in writing for the launch of the war. Wei State would regard the sincerity of Chu's apology and decide whether to add additional war compensation.

Tan Zhuo left the seat on the pretext of an excuse and said that there was nothing to talk about. He Ru stayed to talk, saying that Wei State was whimsical and could not get it on the battlefield, and even more so on the negotiating table.

Mu Fan said toughly that he would continue to fight, but when the Chu army was defeated, it would be impossible to have such superior conditions again. He Ru almost vomited when he laughed, and asked Mu Fan to go back and tell Yuan Mulan that he would be prepared to be captured alive. He would not let it go easily this time, and maybe he would even receive it as a maid in the general's room.

With a woman as the leader, it is inevitable that she will encounter such humiliation. Mu Fan was not angry or depressed, because after understanding the attitude of the State of Chu, that is, peace talks are feasible and the conditions for peace talks can be negotiated.

So he turned a blind eye to He Ru's mouth and proposed to exchange prisoners first, exchange Qi Xiao for Li Chong, Lou Quji and He Wenhu.

The Chu army suffered a loss when one exchanged for three, but after He Ru asked Xu You for instructions, he decided to exchange it.

Qi Xiao and his own life, Xu You are willing to exchange all the prisoners of Wei!

The exchange did not require a ceremony, and it was successfully completed that night. Qi Xiao was not abused and in good health. He just saw Xu You feeling particularly ashamed and could not stand up and said, "I originally wanted to commit suicide, but I was banned by Yuan Mulan. I really couldn't..."

Xu You helped him up and said, "If I were captured, I would have thought of dying. I should have died long ago in Qiantang City where the White Thieves Rebellion. The defeat of Jiluo Mountain was my judgment and command error, and it had nothing to do with you. Anyway, I'll be back. I'll have to rest for a few days. Many things have to be shared by you."

Qi Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, and he kowtowed three times, then stood up and hugged Zuo Qi and others with passion. He could get together again after separation from life and death, and the excitement was so exciting that even the irrelevant people were watching.

On the contrary, the Wei army camp was full of solemnity. He Wenhu was favored by Yuan Yu and guarded the important town of Luoyang. He was of high power. However, after his defeat, he not only did not die for the country, but instead took the initiative to surrender to the enemy. The emperor was furious. If he came back, he would have to send him to Pingcheng for trial. Lou Fuji was identified by Mu Fan as a detailed work of Chu. Because of his betrayal, the situation in Yuzhou would collapse. If he came back, he was mainly to confirm the matter.

Both were locked in prison.

Li Chong was ordered to attack the strong with weak and was captured after fighting hard. He was different from the two of them and was the only one who was comforted by Yuan Mulan and kindly. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he arranged his own rest.

"Treat disease, you disappointed me!"

Yuan Mulan did not see He Wenhu. Although He Wenhu strongly requested to meet him. Lou Quji did not make any requests, Yuan Mulan came to see him.

The reason is very simple. He Wenhu’s affairs are for sure, and Lou Kuji’s only one-sided statement.

Lou Quji sat on the chair, lowering his head and silently saying that he had hoped to be harmonious with Yuanmu Lanqinse one day, but the battle between Cangyuan became Xu You's captive, he would completely cut off his thoughts.

The most dazzling pearl embedded on the top of the Daxianbei Mountain will not marry the weak!

"Yes, I thought about committing suicide, but I don't have the courage..."

"Idiot!" Yuan Mulan said without hesitation: "Xu You won't kill you, it's the blessing of the ancestor spirit. Are you still thinking about committing suicide?"

"That?"

Lou Fuji couldn't understand and looked confused.

"I call you stupid because Longque, who was once a foreign marquis, dealing with all kinds of people all day long, but Mu Fan suspected that you were the detailed work of Chu... He is the lord of Yuzhou, you are the lord of Ruyang, I don't need you to be humble and please your boss, but you shouldn't let your boss doubt your loyalty..."

Lou Quji said: "Your Highness, this is a slander. Mu Fan wants to harm me..."

"Mu Fan ordered you to ambush Liuzhuang outside Cangyuan, but all of them were captured alive by Xu You, including you; Mu Fan ordered you to wipe out Zaokou Village in Dongming County, but Zaokou was quietly occupied by the Chu army... Mu Fan harmed you? Without these facts, how could he harm you?"

Lou Quji was speechless.

"However, I believe you will not surrender to the Chu people. The failure of Liu Zhuang and Zaokou should be because of the secret palace."

"Secret House?"

"Yes! At the beginning of the Western Expedition, Xu You used all the power of the Secret Palace to carry out a huge plan code-named "Eu Beast", which concealed the eyes and ears of Hou Guan Cao. All the troops in Yuzhou were under the surveillance of the Secret Palace. Mu Fan thought that you were cooperating with the enemy, but it had nothing to do with you. This was Hou Guan Cao's mistake and did not pay enough attention to the Secret Palace."

"The Evil Plan..."

Lou Quji reads classics and history well. The erroneous beast is a kind of strange beast recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing". It is a deception and lies, saying east and west, and saying evil and good.

He smiled bitterly and said, "As long as your highness can trust me..."

"Mu Fan's memorial was sent to Taicheng a month ago. I can trust you. Where is the Lord? Where is the outer court? Where is the internal order? Although Lou is powerful, will he protect you? You must be mentally prepared to get rid of illness!"

Lou Quji nodded and said, "You can kill me, but I have to kill me for the crime of collusion with the enemy. If I don't accept it, I won't sit still and wait for death!"

This is the purpose of Yuan Mulan's conversation with Lou Quji. The insider ordered Gao Teng to smell the bloody smell in Mu Fan's memorial and was preparing to use this reason to kill Lou Quji to establish his authority. Only by fierce resistance can Lou Quji face Gao Teng head-on.

If you want to deal with a person, you have to keep making enemies for him. The more enemies there are, the easier it is to kill him after you return to Beijing!

The fourth negotiation was held at noon the next day after the exchange of prisoners. Since the general-level prisoners exchange was very successful, Tan Zhuo proposed that the next step of the exchange between the military deputy, the lieutenant, and the lieutenant, wait for the middle and senior officers to wait for the exchange of middle and senior officers, and the next step could be gradually extended to all the captured ordinary soldiers. Mu Fan did not agree on the grounds that he could not make decisions, and Tan Zhuo did not force it. Both sides said nonsense, which roughly meant to be rubbished on the outside, and no one was willing to enter the topic.

When he returned to Junyi, Mu Fan cursed in anger: "The island barbarians are all cunning and shameless old graces! Knowing that our army lacks food and cannot wait for a long time, they just play these tricks... I don't believe it. Xu You is so calm that he dares to ignore the will of Lord Chu?"

"It's not a solution to hold on like this!" Yuan Mulan pondered for a while and said, "Thank you harder, now you can go to the Chu army camp and tell Tan Zhuo that I want to meet and talk with Xu You alone at noon tomorrow, and he will choose the location!"

"Ah?" Mu Fan said anxiously: "No! It's too risky!"

Yuan Mulan smiled and said, "It's okay, according to Bai Er, Xu You has only been in the third grade for more than two years, and he is no match for me!"

The news that Xu You broke through the second rank in Luoyang has not been leaked yet. Yuan Mulan only knew that Xu You had entered the third rank in Qiantang before launching the Western Expedition, but she had absolute confidence. If Xu You were so rude, he would definitely suffer.

"Your Highness, this is not a martial arts competition!"

Mu Fan firmly opposed it and said, "Xu You has many masters around him. If you pretend to go to the appointment and use strange means to capture Your Highness, our army has no choice but to fight to the death with the Chu army. The consequences are unpredictable!"

"Who do you think Xu You is?"

"This..." Mu Fan hesitated.

"Although Xu You is an enemy, he is confident and upright, and will not disdain to use such despicable methods. The most important thing is that the general is here, and no one dares to set up a situation to kill me like this!"

Yuan Guang had nothing to say when he defeated Yuan Mulan in a dignified manner on the battlefield, either killing or cutting. However, if he had agreed to the peace talks between the two sides but took the opportunity to catch and kill people, he had to be prepared to deal with the assassination of a great master anytime and anywhere.

Even if Xu You has a high position and a powerful person, he cannot stay away from home and sleep for the rest of his life. He will be surrounded by thousands of people everywhere. He will be guarded against such things for a while, and even smart people will not do it.

Is Xu You a smart person?

Mu Fan no longer objected. In the current situation, only Yuan Mulan took action and Xu You directly explained the king to the king, negotiated the conditions for mutual acceptance, signed an alliance, and then moved their troops back to their country.

It's really impossible to afford it!

Guandu, five kilometers northeast of Zhongmu County, is the site of the famous Guandu Battle, which is the most famous. Two kilometers eastward, Guandu is a village called Zhulu Camp. According to legend, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army confronted each other, a sika deer suddenly appeared. As the most ambitious auspicious person, he immediately started fighting for each other, and was finally captured by Cao Hong and presented to Cao Cao. This seemed to destined to be a failure of Yuan Shao.

Of course, these are all far-fetched nonsense in later generations. Sika deer cannot decide the winner or lose in the war, but the name of the village was decided like this and has not changed for hundreds of years.

There is an 800-year-old ginkgo tree in the village, eight feet tall. It is surrounded by three people, with a cap like a ribbon, and golden leaves covered the ground, making it as beautiful as a painting.

"What is the General looking at?"

Yuan Mulan was not wearing military uniforms, and changed into a green robe. Her forged black hair was simply tied up with a hairband. Her beautiful face looked even more crystal clear in the reflection of the sunlight. Her long-term martial arts posture was extremely tall and full of power charm. She slowly walked behind Xu You and looked up at the height with his eyes.

"This is a Shuliao. It is said that in a thousand years, it has grown into one. Thousand years have passed quietly in this intertwined and complex texture." Xu You stood with his hands behind his back and sighed: "We have only been chasing for decades, but what are we chasing?"

Yuan Mulan silently said for a moment: "The meaning of living, a life that is not wasted, the eternal name in history and the search process of death without regrets..."

"Maybe!"

Xu You turned around, pointed to the stone plate and stone base under the ginkgo tree, and said, "Please!"

Yuan Mulan sat down openly.

On the stone tray is a set of tea sets, as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, especially the pot, which flows flat with the mouth, is small and exquisite, and never forgets it when you see it.

"If the pot is small, the fragrance will not disperse, and the taste will not be delayed. Besides, the real taste in the tea is neither first nor later, only for a while, too early will not be enough, too late will have passed, and it will be the best one after another..."

While explaining to Yuan Mulan, Xu You lifted the pot to fill her up and said, "Try it and see!"
