---------------------------------------------------------

The troops are at the city and are about to reach the border of the moat!

Li Jing's soldiers trapped Duli Town and proposed harsh conditions for quashing the troops. In the city lord's mansion in Duli Town, half of the people were depressed again. Not only did Li Jing not die, he also rebelled and defeated the ambush and defeated their attackers. Even Wang Gai and Pei You, who had just been praised as heroes, were once again captured by Li Jing. Eight thousand soldiers left the city, and now only half of the remaining defeated soldiers were left.

Fortunately, Li Jing only proposed to hand over Feng Changgui this time, but did not propose to hand over Wang Pu.

Zheng Jiezhi said helplessly, "Let's lose money and eliminate disasters. We really can't afford to offend this Li Jing."

Wang Pu was unwilling to say: "We just need to stick to the city. With the strong city of Duli Town, Li Jing can't do anything to us."

"We naturally know this, but even so, as long as Li Jing stays outside, will we have to hide in the city for the rest of our lives?" Zheng Jiezhi sighed, "If you continue to fight, there will be only disadvantages but no benefits. If you surround the city, how can the more than 100,000 people in the city last long? Besides, if you continue to fight for a long time, the loss will only be greater than that now. If Li Jing is so fierce, if the city is broken, you will be too regretful at that time."

"Give it to him. One hundred and eight families. Each family has 30,000 jin, and I will make up three million for Li Jing. As long as it can completely resign, it will be worth it." These people are indeed afraid of being beaten. The families run Duli Town, neither for dominance nor for power, but just a place to make money. If you wanted to annex Qingni City in the past, it was because Qingni City had the largest port. But now after getting entangled with Li Jing in Shamen Town, you have fought several battles in a row, saying that the joint fleet was destroyed. Now you have suffered another defeat, and a cavalry has been defeated twice.

Moreover, because of these wars, the trade routes in Duli Town have begun to be separated, and the losses caused by this are quite huge. If Li Jing continues to siege the city, the losses will be even more uncountable. If Li Jing fights to the death, it will be impossible to occupy the Da Xie Islands if he wins him.

"If the city lord is because of the Feng family, then at most we can do business with Li Jing and let the Feng family redeem it. If the Feng family is willing to give Li Jing one million, I can believe it. Li Jing, who has always been known for his love for money, will definitely not insist on handing over the Feng family." Zheng Jiezhi suggested.

Feng Changgui sat in the last seat with a gloomy face. He took out 30,000 guan, but there was no problem with the Feng family. But if he had to take out one million, it would be at least half of the Feng family's property. It would be better if Feng Zhang and Feng Yanqing were still there, but now they would not be able to do the main branch of the Feng family, let alone he was just a branch of the Duli Town of the Feng family. If one million, he would have to sell all his property and probably he could get it.

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Okay, then please ask Mr. Zheng to go to Li Jing's camp in person. If Li Jing is willing to quit the army and no longer care about the past grievances, I am willing to pay one million for the Feng family. However, there is only one condition: Li Jing must beat drums and drums, and the eight-handed sedan chair will openly adopt my daughter Wan Jun as his third wife."

Zheng Jiezhitou agreed that on that day, he led a group of civilians to Li Jing's camp with hundreds of jars of fine wine and hundreds of cows.

Sitting in the tent, Li Jing couldn't help but chuckled when he saw that it was Zheng Jing who had signed the armistice agreement last time.

"Before the last agreement was written, you openly tore up the agreement. Why, now you are here again, why?"

Zheng Jiezhi smiled bitterly and said, "The general misunderstanding, the fact of the last time was a misunderstanding. Qingni City attacked us first, but we were just forced to fight. A misunderstanding caused countless casualties and injuries. I, Duli Town, also feel very regretful. Now, I am willing to take the initiative to turn war into jade and make the two families quit the war."

"You can ask me to stop the army and quit. Are you willing to agree to the conditions I had proposed at the city before? Five million ounces of money and materials, and hand over the Feng family!"

"This time, my Duli Town really wants peace between the two families. Therefore, the Lord of the King proposed that Duli Town and Shamen Town marry General Li as the third wife. For this reason, Wang Xiaoniang's father and mother Feng family each were willing to give out 500,000 yuan as dowry. The remaining 106 families in Duli Town were willing to pay 30,000 yuan as a celebration ceremony. Such a total of 418,000 yuan of money, grain and materials were used as a tribute to the two families. From then on, you and I will always be friendly and will not violate each other."

Zheng Jiezhi's words were a bit implicit, and he gave him some face to himself and Duli Town. What kind of dowry and gifts were actually just compensation. Four million was a huge sum of money. Li Jing really hurt them this time.

"You can reply first, let me think about it before replying."

After sending the envoy, Li Liang immediately said, "I think this condition is OK, and we can't keep our troops here all the time. Our root is still in Dengzhou. Besides, if we don't agree, we can also capture such a strong city in Duli Town. Long-term siege is actually not only consumed by Duli Town, but also by ourselves. I think it's better to agree to Duli Town's conditions. At this time, the truce is the best time. What's more, four million jin is a lot of money. The Feng family is no longer worth worrying about now, and it's okay to let it go."

Li Jing pondered and said softly: "It's just that Wang Pu asked me to take his daughter as his concubine. This matter is not easy to deal with. If you accept it, then the Li family in Qingnicheng will inevitably be worried."

"Lord is too worried." Li Liang chuckled his beard and said, "It's just a woman, how can it be? The lord takes it, what does it matter? The lord takes it, what does it matter. The Qingni Li family is not insulted. Now Li Lingfu is dead and Li Juren is seriously injured again. I guess he can't stand it. Only Li Juyi is left, who is brave enough, but compared with his brother, he lacks some steady strategies, and is far inferior to Li Lingfu. They have to stop at us now to protect Qingni City. How can they care about these small things? What's more, Wang Pu's daughter has already been sent to the lord, and your husband doesn't accept her publicly. The Li family also sees this way."

"We will continue to fight with Duli Town at the moment. This is a loss-making move. Harmony will benefit both. As long as we leave a soldier in Qingni City, we can control Qingni City and intimidate Duli Town. We can return to Shamen Town ourselves and no longer be restrained."

After listening, Li Jing was still a little hesitant. The truce was also his plan. What he hesitated was that he was unwilling to reach a truce agreement in the name of marriage. At this moment, outside the account suddenly reported that Li Juyi was asking for a meeting.

"Uncle. My elder brother is almost out of reach. He asked his uncle to meet him and said he had something to ask for him." Li Shouyi said with a sad face and choked.

Li Juren received Li Juli yesterday, but he was seriously injured and returned. He fainted when he returned to the camp and woke up for a long time, but he was no longer able to do so. He knew that he could not hold on, so he led the four cavalry generals of Li Shouyi, Cao Meng, Gao Duo, Yu Bao and Li Biao, to come close to deliver the funeral. Gao Duo was not only a general of the Crane Army, but also the brother of Mrs. Gao and the uncle of Li Shouren's brothers. The nobleman of Goguryeo.

Seeing Li Juren's situation, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although Li Jing sent troops to help each other, defeated Zhang Dewei and Duli Town one after another, they were defeated in both battles and did not completely destroy them. Li Jing's roots were in Dengzhou and would not be willing to move the army to Liaodong. After this battle, he would definitely negotiate peace with Duli Town again and then withdraw his troops. If he leaves, we are afraid that we will fall into the covetousness of Beisha City and Duli Town. At present, there are only two or three thousand remaining soldiers left in Qingni City, how can we be afraid? In my opinion, only by relying on Li Jing may be able to save our lives Qingni City and the Li family."

Cao Meng is also Li Lingfu's old brother, and at this time he couldn't help saying: "The Li family in Qingni City has a century-old foundation, how can you give it to me just by saying that? You and I are from the Li family, so how can you watch Qingni City change its owner? Qingni City still has 800 Crane Control Army, and as long as you give it time, you will definitely be able to recover."

Li Biao is also a member of the Li family in Qingni City and sighed: "But who can give us such time? Even if Duli Town and Beisha City are not taken away, seeing that we are so weak, there will be a large number of other people who want to seize Qingni City. Living in Liaodong is like being in a pack of wolves. Once injured, it is possible to be shared by the companions around you."

Cao Meng glared at Li Biao: "Li Biao, you are a descendant of the Li family, how could you say such words?"

"I am also for the sake of the Li family. I can rely on Li Jing, and at least I can protect the family. But if I am annexed by other people, the Li family will probably not be able to escape the disaster of extermination."

Li Juren lay on the bed, listening to the controversy among the few retainers below, and had made up his mind and said, "The situation in Qingni City is difficult to preserve. My intention is to hand it over to General Li Jing, but he refused last time. How about this time? If General Li Jing refuses to protect Qingni City, Qingni City will be in danger and the Li family will be in danger."

Yu Bao, who had never spoken, was in his fifties. He was Li Lingfu's original guard. He has been following Li Lingfu since he was a child. When he grew up, he became his guard. Later, he followed Li Lingfu and left Qingni City and traveled to Liaodong. He was loyal to Li Lingfu and the Li family.

He said: "It's not that Li Jing doesn't want to collect Qingnicheng, but he is actually worried about some other people's attitudes. Now the young master is seriously injured, and he personally entrusted Qingnicheng and Li to Li Jing when he was dying. In this way, he will not be able to make excuses."

After hearing this, Li Juren hurriedly asked Li Juyi to invite Li Jing to come.

Li Jing followed Li Juyi to Li Juren's tent. Seeing Li Juren's face pale, chapped lips, and a little dissipated eyes, he knew that his life was coming soon. Li Jing stepped forward and held his hand, and comforted him softly.

Two lines of tears rolled out in Li Juren's eyes. He held Li Jing's hand tightly and looked at Li Jing and said, "I'm asking for help from my uncle, and I don't do anything else. It's just because I'm unfilial. My father handed over the century-old foundation of Qingni City to me, but I can't keep him. Now I'm seriously injured, and I'm afraid I can't last for the past two or three days. Before my death, I'm worried about something, and I hope my uncle will agree to me, otherwise I will die with my eyes."

"The eldest son said, as long as I can do what Li Jing can do, I will definitely complete it."

"My father died in battle, and now I am about to die again. Qingni City is now only a thousand soldiers, and it is as dangerous as eggs. My nephew asked my uncle to be a charity with my father. I pity my Qingni City people and the Li family, take over Qingni City, and protect more than 100,000 people and my Li family. I will die in peace."

Li Jing said: "The third young master died in battle, and the eldest young master is now seriously injured, but he can still deliver Qingni City to the second young master. The second young master is extremely brave and young and promising, and can take on this important task."

Li Juren said: "My second brother is more brave, but he is still too young and has been in the army and has never had any experience in handling specific matters. At the moment, he cannot take on this important task in Qingnicheng. After my death, Juyi can follow his uncle or be a general, but he must not let him take over the city of Nicheng, otherwise, this will harm him."

Li Jing pondered for a long time: "Qingni City is a century-old foundation for the nephew's family, so I am willing to take over it. Besides, now I am the deputy envoy of Daxie Village, and I have more than 100,000 people under my jurisdiction, but I am afraid I am incompetent and unable to take on this great task."

Li Juren held Li Jing's hand tightly with both hands and said, "If my uncle is worried that someone in Qingni City will not accept it, there is no need to. My mother and Uncle Meng have agreed to this matter long ago. Now Juyi is the same as this. In addition, the four cavalry generals of my Crane Control Army are here, and they are willing to obey my uncle's orders from now on."

Li Jing said nothing.

Li Juren said to Li Juyi: "You swear!"

"I, Li Juyi, here I swear to sincerely ask my uncle to take over Qingni City, and I have no other intentions in my heart. If I regret it this day, I will be penetrated by thousands of arrows and will not die well."

Gao Duo's four cavalry generals also knelt down on one knee to Li Jing and swear allegiance.

Li Jing then stepped forward to help a few people up and said reluctantly: "In this way, I will take on this important task. Today, I also swear here that with me, Li Jing, will protect the safety of the Li family. But I agreed in advance that I will just take over Qingni City temporarily. When Juyi is older and Qingni City is not dangerous, I will hand over Qingni City to Juyi and return it to the Li family."

Li Juren was very pleased with Li Jing's approval.

The next day, Li Jing and Li Juyi and Li Juren discussed the truce agreement between the envoys of Duli Town, and they had no objection to the agreement between Duli Town. Although Wang Wanjun had agreed to Li Juren's proposal, since she had already joined Li Jing's side, Li Juren's brothers had long regarded her as Li Jing's woman. There is nothing wrong with this additional condition for public concubine acquisition.

Although he had an irreconcilable grudge with Duli Town, since he had already attached himself to Li Jing, they agreed to Li Jing's decision to truce. His father fought Duli Town once, and the entire army was wiped out. The coalition again fought Duli Town again, and was defeated again. If Li Jing had not finally made a strange plan to win back the game, it would be impossible for this alliance under the city to be formed.

In the afternoon of that day, ten miles below Duli Town, the table table was set up between the two armies.

Li Jing and Wang Pu, as representatives of the two families, signed their names on the quarantine agreement. That night, Li Jing beat gongs and drums, and took Wang Wanjun, the glorious general who carried the sedan chair in eight to be regarded as the third wife. Duli Town also received the first batch of one million indemnities, which was naturally a generous dowry given by Wang Wanjun's father and mother tribe. The remaining three million will be delivered in installments at various food, cattle, sheep, horses, slaves, and various materials ore within the agreed date.
