Fang Xuanling took the imperial edict of the empress dowager and looked at it, threw it aside, and said coldly: "This is Yu Wenhua and his own drafting of the decree. It has nothing to do with the empress dowager. Don't be fooled by this fake decree."

Cui Zhao also knew that this would be the result, and he actually asked Zhang Xuan to retreat north immediately and not to intercept the Huaihe River. Yu Wenji was really delusional. He sighed in his heart, unable to say a word.

Fang Xuanling said frankly: "I know Mr. Cui's purpose is to talk to us about the conditions and let us let him go to the north, right?"

"That's right!" Since Fang Xuanling was so frank, Cui Zhao didn't want to hide it.

"Actually, my general doesn't want to do anything. As long as Yu Wen and his conditions agree to us, we may withdraw our troops north and let Xiaoguo army go home. So we let Gong Cui enter the camp, which means that this matter can be discussed."

Cui Zhao was excited and hurriedly said, "I don't know what conditions are needed for King Qi?"

"There are only three conditions, and there is no room for bargaining. If you agree, withdraw your troops. If you don't agree, then continue to waste like this and see how much food you have to support?"

Cui Zhao smiled bitterly, the other party had already understood everything, so he had to nod, "Mr. Fang, please tell me! I will tell you the original words."

Fang Xuanling didn't say much and took out a letter to Cui Zhao, "The conditions are in the letter, just take it back, there is no need to make things difficult for Mr. Cui."

This is the best, but it will save Yu Wenhua and blame him for not being able to negotiate. He took the Xin and bowed, "Thank you for your thoughtful thoughts. I'll go back to report now!"

Cui Zhao said goodbye and left. Fang Xuanling immediately came to the central army tent. Zhang Xuan stood in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back and stared at Hanoi County. The reason why he agreed to Yu Wen and asked for peace was mainly because he was worried about Hebei.

He received news yesterday that Luo Yi had sent troops to Boling County. Although he only sent 3,000 troops to the capital of Boling County, Xianyu County, this was a clear signal that Luo Yi's army would probably go south to join Li Jiancheng's army, which is also Zhang Xuan's most worried about.

The biggest difficulty of the Tang army's eastern expedition was that it had no foundation in Hebei, but Luo Yi could make up for this shortcoming. Once the Tang army captured Lushui Cang, they would gain a foothold in northern Hebei, and the problem would become very serious.

At this time, Fang Xuanling walked into the tent, and Zhang Xuan did not look back and asked, "Where does the military advisor think Li Jiancheng is?"

Fang Xuanling walked forward and stared at the sand table and said in a deep voice: "From time, their grain ships should have arrived, so the grain ships and the army will march together along Yongji Canal, and it is more likely to enter Ji County. Now I don't know if Li Jiancheng's reinforcements will arrive."

Zhang Xuan's eyes clearly showed a look of worry. If there were no reinforcements, then the 10,000 troops from Beihai County and the 20,000 troops from Wei County were not afraid of Li Jiancheng's army. But if Li Yuan's reinforcements came in large numbers, such as 50,000 troops, then Li Jiancheng would be an 80,000 army. If it was led by the famous general Qu Tutong...

Although it was just a guess, Li Yuan would also think that he would attack Hebei at all costs, and that Hebei would be in danger!

"If the general is in a hurry to go back, he can give in. As long as Yu Wenhua and hand over the empress dowager and a few important officials, they can be let go north."

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Zhang Xuan shook his head decisively, "No three conditions are allowed. If they do not agree, then they will completely destroy them. They do not need to fight for the Wagang Army."

Fang Xuanling had no choice but to smile and said, "Maybe auspicious person has a heavenly star, and Li Yuan's reinforcements did not come so quickly."

At this moment, a rapid running sound came from outside the tent, and someone panted and said in a vague way: "Go and report to the general, the emergency news of Wei County!"

Zhang Xuan suddenly turned around and walked out of the tent. He saw an eagle slave holding a red message tube in his hand. When the eagle slave saw Zhang Xuan leave the tent, he hurried forward and knelt down on one knee to present it, "Report to the Grand Marshal, Wei County emergency information!"

Zhang Xuan took the message tube and shook out a roll of white silk. He walked back to the tent. Looking closely at the light, he suddenly felt an unconcealable ecstasy in his eyes. He patted his forehead repeatedly, "It's God who helped me!"

Fang Xuanling was also infected by Zhang Xuan's joy and said with a smile: "It seems that the general has a noble person to help him!"

"It is indeed a noble man, someone I can't imagine. It is Wei Wentong and Du Ruhui who are preparing to serve me. From Xingyang County to Henei County, we happened to meet Li Jiancheng's army. They stationed in Wuzhi County and cut off the grain ships that came to Hedong County along the Yellow River. Without food, Li Jiancheng could not move eastward, and Li Yuan's Hebei plan would fail."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly found Wuzhi County on the sand table, which happened to be located where Yongji Canal entered the Yellow River. He was also surprised and happy, "How could it be so coincidental that they happened to Wuzhi County?"

"When Yongji Canal entered Huangdi, Wuzhi County and was selected to be excavated. Because the opposite bank was the crossing of Xingyang County, it was definitely a landing in Wuzhi County from Xingyang County. If I was not wrong, Wei Wentong went north because of Wei Jin's defeat."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Wei Jin is Du Ruhui's uncle. Du Ruhui may be in Wei Jin's army, so he followed Wei Wentong north. I have seen Du Ruhui and have extraordinary strategies. With him to assist Wei Wentong, Li Jiancheng's plan will definitely fail."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he looked at the information carefully and said with a smile: "That's right. Li Jiancheng's grain ship was returned by a trap. This must be Du Ruhui's plan. Congratulations to the general for getting the famous general's plan again."

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew Du Ruhui's plan. He once wrote a letter asking Du Ruhui to help him, but Du Ruhui did not respond, which made him regret it for a long time. Now Du Ruhui finally chose him and gave him great help as soon as he took action. He deserves to be the military officer he likes.

There is also Wei Wentong and Yuwen Shu ranked second among the Thirteen Taibaobaos. He is a talented person in civil and military affairs and can stand alone. He is willing to be loyal to him, which undoubtedly makes him like a tiger.

At this moment, the worries that bothered Zhang Xuan Duo Ri finally disappeared. He began to cheer up and prepare to deal with Yu Wenji. He still decided to let Yu Wenji go north and let Yu Wenji and Wagang arms. However, he had to take away most of the resources he had.

Cui Zhao returned to Shanyang County and brought three conditions proposed by Zhang Xuan. At this time, in the Shanyang County yamen, Yu Wen Zhiji, Yuan Min, and Yuan Li were discussing the conditions proposed by Zhang Xuan.

There are only three conditions in name, but in fact there is a wide range.

First, handing over the empress dowager, jade seal and all officials is a political condition. Zhang Xuan asked Empress Xiao, civil and military officials and jade seal to pass on the country, which is also the most important condition.

Secondly, Zhang Xuan could let the Sima brothers and the Yuan brothers go, but they had to hand over the heads of thirteen people including Sima Dekan, Pei Tong, Zhao Xingshu, Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju, Tang Fengyi, Meng Jing, Yuan Wuda, Yang Lan, Xi Fangde, Li Fu.

Third, all the thousand dragon boat teams were left behind, half of all the gold and jewelry were left, and the 50,000 war horses of the Xiaoguo Army were left behind, and all the 50,000 sets of Mingguang armor were left in stock.

The three conditions were extremely harsh, and the four of them were silent. At this time, Yu Wenhua and he stood up and said angrily: "It would be better to kill me if I promised these conditions. I won't agree. You can do it!"

After saying that, he rushed away angrily, but Yu Wen Zhiji had an idea and hurriedly chased him out, "Brother, take a step!"

Only Yuanmin and Yuanli were left in the room, and Yuanli asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"

Yuan Min said lightly: "I only care about the army. As long as Zhang Xuan doesn't want the army, I think it's acceptable. As for Empress Xiao, it's meaningless to us, and civil and military officials don't have much to do with each other. It's better to kill Sima Dekan and others, and to clear our relationship."

"Where can the horses and armor?"

Yuan Li was not interested in warships and treasures. He was a general, but he was a little reluctant to be with warhors and Ming Guangkai.

"Our Yuan family has the foundation in Longyou, so why are we worried about war horses? It's a pity for Mingguang armor, but what Zhang Xuan wants is only inventory, and he didn't let the soldiers take off their armor. I think it's acceptable. The key is that the army can continue to go north."

Yuanli was silent for a moment and said, "But Yu Wenji refused to agree!"

This is a difficult problem. Yuanmin pondered for a long time and sneered, "If he doesn't agree, just force him to agree!"

He whispered a few words to Yuanli, and Yuanli nodded repeatedly, "I understand, let's spread the news."

Yuwen Zhiji caught up with his brother Yu Wenhua. He knew better than Yu Wenhua and knew that food could only last for another ten days. If they could not enter Xuzhou to collect grain in time, they would face the severe consequences of the entire army's escape.

So Yuwen Zhiji was willing to accept the conditions. He followed Yuwen and whispered: "Since my brother wants to become emperor, it's useless to hold it, that old witch will give it to Zhang Xuan. As for those heads, it's no pity, and the warships are fine. Even if he wants war horses and armor, I think he can bargain. He asked Zhang Xuan for 50,000 stones of grain, so that we will have military rations and the Wagang Army. Once we defeat the Wagang Army, we will occupy the Central Plains and establish Xu Chao. Talents from all over the world will come to vote. Are you still worried about civil and military officials? Why don't your brother consider accepting it?"

Yu Wenhuaji felt confused and his mind was blank. This was also because his excessive indulgence and excessive drinking caused a serious decline in thinking and judgment ability. He couldn't understand what Yu Wen Zhiji was talking about for a long time, but he had the ability to procrastinate.
