The sun is about to disappear on the western horizon, Qi army's central army, the central army's tent, Qi emperor Gao Yang is receiving the Liang army envoy.

In the tent, except for the few guards around Gao Yang, only his confidant Tang Yong was listening.

The envoy of the Liang army was Zhu Maichen, the chief of the army supervisor of Li Li, and a deputy envoy.

Because Zhu Maichen rode his horse for several days and had blood flowing from the inside of his legs, his walking posture was extremely ugly and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Zhu Maichen, who is hard to contain water, well, Li... What does Li Envoy ask you to say?" Gao Yang said in elegant words.

Zhu Maichen, the famous minister of the Han Dynasty, had the same name as Zhu Maichen. The story of Zhu Maichen's overwhelming water was difficult to collect. However, now Zhu Maichen dared not show off in front of Emperor Qi.

For great achievements, he ventured into Qi camp to meet the Emperor of Qi. Now he directly explained his purpose:

"Now the soldiers of both armies are exhausted. Why not stop the troops tonight and fight again next day."

"Give you a chance to breathe? That's not." Gao Yang smiled and looked at Zhu Maichen with a playful look on his face, "Our army is about to win."

"And you come, and the cavalry is only two or three thousand, so what can you do?"

Zhu Maichen heard Sima Xiaonan talk about Gao Yang's things, and thought that the other party was a lunatic, moody and could do anything. He was uneasy, but he forced himself to calm down:

"Since that's the case, then Zhu went back to report his life."

"Report, how do you respond?" Gao Yang asked, and Zhu Maichen replied: "I think your Majesty wants to fight at night, so I replied like this."

Gao Yang asked again: "Is envoy Li coming here day and night, is he so sure to win?"

"Since you dare to come, of course you are sure."

Gao Yang was still joking: "I'm sure, haha, then why are you doing here?"

"Of course, Zhu is here to make a better decision on the outcome of the two armies."

Zhu Maichen carefully used the words. Of course, he took the risk to come here to make contributions. After all, he was able to negotiate with the enemy emperor and gain an opportunity for his own side. This was a great contribution.

It's much better than being a military supervisor.

He specially brought a follower to show his testimony, so as to avoid having a personal certificate when the King of Xiangdong became suspicious.

Gao Yang looked at Zhu Maichen, his face remained calm, but he was wondering what Li Li was doing.

What is "stop the army tonight and fight again tomorrow", isn't this the way of intrigue?

The sudden appearance of the other party was indeed beyond Gao Yang's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, the Xuzhou cavalry came from afar, and I am afraid that no matter the person or the horse would be exhausted.

So if we really want to confront each other, how much role can the Xuzhou army have in terms of two or three thousand cavalry?

Gao Yang also wanted to kill Li Li by the way, of course it would be best to capture him alive.

The problem is that according to the whistle cavalry, there were many two-wheeled vehicles in the opponent's army, ranking in front of the army.

It is said that cavalry raids are burdensome to carry vehicles with them, because supplies can be carried by horses, and vehicles can easily break down when traveling long distances, so there is really no need.

If other troops did this, Gao Yang would only think that the other party was stupid.

But now, it is different that Xuzhou army has come over with a two-wheeled vehicle for a long journey.

Because this must be the mysterious weapon of the Xuzhou Army. Outside Yecheng, he killed and killed a large number of elite soldiers outside the city.

So Gao Yang judged that Li Li sent Zhu Maichen over to "played hard to get" and had ulterior motives.

He judged that Li Li did not really want to "fight again tomorrow", but deliberately showed weakness, and immediately sent troops to attack at night, but the officers and horses were killed and injured by the weapons.

Then, the Xuzhou army and other Liang troops counterattacked and turned defeat into victory.

Gao Yang looked at Tang Yong, and from the other party's eyes and small movements, he could see that Tang Yong also made such a judgment.

So how to take the challenge?

As night falls, if Li Li, a bastard, engages in a night attack with his mysterious weapon, then he will repeat the mistakes of the Shangdang King.

Because the cavalry could not rush up at night, the Liang army could completely defeat the camp with its mysterious weapons and cause major damage.

So, Zhu Maichen is here to confuse him. Whether he agrees or not, it will be very troublesome tonight.

Seeing the emperor pondering, Tang Yong came to rescue him: "Mr. Zhu, I have something unknown."

"Please tell me the Minister of the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Maichen looked at the other party and respectfully called him "Please Minister".

He knew that Tang Yong was the clan of the Secretariat and the confidant appointed by Emperor Qi, and he knew that the other party was difficult to deal with, so he did not dare to relax.

Tang Yong looked at the other party's eyes and asked, "What if your army fails to fulfill the agreement, withdraws its troops overnight and escapes, rather than fighting again in the future?"

This question made Zhu Maichen, who was a little guilty, nervous: This is what Li Li talked about.

First, they retreated to Changshe City in the south overnight, where the infantry carried their baggage and sailed south along the water outside Changshe City into the Ru River, and the cavalry took the land route, so that they could retreat south safely.

He calmed down and replied: "The Minister was joking. If the enemy withdraws troops, if you are not careful, you will be doomed."

"Is that right?" Tang Yong smiled, then looked at Gao Yang: "Your Majesty, I think it would be good to stop the army tonight and fight again next day."

Gao Yang looked at Tang Yong for a long time and looked at Zhu Maichen: "Since that's the case, I will reply to Li Envoy Li, withdraw the troops tonight and fight again next day."

Zhu Maichen was overjoyed, but he did not dare to show it on his face and surrender.

When he left, Gao Yang asked Tang Yong: "Can you, Li Zhe and other Liang troops plan to withdraw their troops overnight?"

"I think, yes, otherwise I wouldn't have sent this useless Zhu Maichen." Tang Yong said, with a look of contempt, "This person is not a verbal debater. If you want to play tricks, you can't do it."

"Then let them run away?" Gao Yang was a little unwilling.

Tang Yong expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, Li Zhe didn't want to fight, otherwise he wouldn't have put out the two-wheeled cart for our army to see."

"Then, what if the two-wheeled car is bluffing, it is not a weapon at all?" Gao Yang looked at Tang Yong, his eyes flashing.

"As Your Majesty said, Li Zhe has always been treacherous and may be cheating, but our army does not need to take risks."

Tang Yong said slowly and saluted Gao Yang: "I dare to ask Your Majesty to stop when you see the country and the country."

"After all, the foundation of the national dynasty is in Jinyang. Now that the Liang army is defeated and suffers a lot of casualties, he must have no intention of invading the north. Henan will turn danger into safety. Your Majesty should train as soon as possible, dispatch troops to Bingzhou, and drive the Western thieves out."

He saw Gao Yang nodding and continued:

"Li Zhe dares to come, but he has some support after all, but he may not be willing to use it. Therefore, sending someone who doesn't know what to say is just to give both sides a step."

It is a bit strange to give both sides a step.

Tang Yong expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, that mysterious weapon seems to be quite powerful. In the past two years, no other Liang army has been used, such as today's battle."

"So the Weichen believes that this weapon is probably Li Li's private possession and may not be intended to be used by his court."

"So..." Gao Yang's eyes lit up. After Tang Yong reminded him, he felt that things were not simple.

"Your Majesty, I think that if Li Li had no need, he would not have taken out the weapon when fighting with friendly troops, so..."

Tang Yong's consciousness was very obvious: Li Li did have the idea of ​​not wanting to fight and wanted to hide the mysterious weapon privately, but once he was forced to force him, he ignored him, then...why would that be the trouble?

Gao Yang thought about it and was still very rational when he was not drinking.

Of course, because he hated Li Li to the core, Li Li's emotions were inevitably out of control when he was under his nose.

How could he not lose control? Li Li, as the emperor, let his face be ruined, and as a man, he was so angry that he was both angry.

When Gao Yang's heart was bleeding when he thought of his cousin and beloved concubine being possessed by this person and ravaged her.

This time Li Li may be a pretentious act, but he may also have a real support.

The Liang army was indeed defeated today. If it really retreated south, it would be impossible to return north again, and Henan would be in danger.

Tang Yong was right, the safety of Jinyang is the top priority, he cannot stay here for too long, he should stop when he sees it is better.

But Li Li is right in front of him, and letting go is not that cheaper than the other party?

When Li Li does not exist?

Gao Yang could not do it, and the generals would not ignore this excellent opportunity and would not ignore Li Li.

But that mysterious weapon is indeed a problem. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gao Yang did not widely spread the news that there were huge mysterious weapons in Li Li's army.

Therefore, few people knew about this news from the generals of the Southern Expedition.

After thinking about it, he felt that the battlefield is wide and flat now, and as long as the soldiers do not gather in dense formations, the weapon can reduce the damage to their own side. It is not impossible to fight in the dark.

When Tang Yong saw that Gao Yang seemed to want to make some moves, he didn't say much.

What should be persuaded has been persuaded, and whether or not is the emperor's business.
