Chapter 79 Peace Negotiation

He Zhen led a large group of troops to rush to Binzhou.

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said to the three division commanders around him: "Okay, we are basically familiar with the method of siege. Now, let's start the real show and annihilate the enemies who come to help. We will take Binzhou and Lijin lightly. Otherwise, It’s time for the prince to blame me.”

Several division commanders jumped up: "Finally, we can fight the enemy openly and openly. We don't have to be mice all day long."

"Order, the first division to meet the enemy, the second division and the third division to withdraw from the east and west encirclement and concentrate on our headquarters. But remember, control the speed of advance. Binzhou defenders will not go out of the city to meet the enemy, and are not allowed to enter the battlefield."

The three division commanders immediately obeyed the order loudly.

When Hong Zhiqiang saw the banner of his reinforcements appearing from the direction of Lijin, he was shocked and stamped his feet: "Who arranged such a bastard reinforcement method? It's over, it's over, it's over for Lijin."

Deputy General Wang Hongming was puzzled: "Why, isn't it appropriate for the reinforcements to come from Lijin?"

"What do you know? If you come from Lijin, you must also draw troops from Lijin. Lijin will be empty of troops. By then, if Lijin is lost, what's the point of me being trapped in an isolated city in Binzhou?" Then he decisively ordered: "Come here, gather the whole army, Bring the necessary gold and silver, we will leave the city, join the reinforcements, and then immediately retreat to Jinan."

This battle lasted from noon to dark. Li Yan used all his methods, and finally allowed He Zhen and Hong Zhiqiang to join forces, break through the siege in the dark, and escape with more than 2,000 remaining soldiers.

Li Yan was not without regrets, but he had no choice but to order: "Flying pigeon sent a message to the prince, the third army easily captured Binzhou Lijin, annihilated a total of 10,000 enemies, and captured nothing. We opened the passage to Shouguang. We lost 4,000." In this battle, we have trained our team and discovered talents. Although our losses are not small, our gains are greater." Then under the words "greater gains," a horizontal line is drawn, which is to highlight the key point.

Taking Li Yan's letter, he looked over it over and over. What did Lu Mou think? It seemed like Li Yan was covering up his mistakes.

"I have to go to Li Yan. I have to ask, if I lost 4,000 soldiers of the Third Army, how can I successfully complete the campaign plan? What the hell does it mean to train the team, what the hell does it mean to discover talents? Just In order to achieve his so-called goal of the campaign, he lost four thousand soldiers. Could it be that the five thousand soldiers I have here were accidentally injured while watching the excitement?"

Zhu Changxun quickly explained fairly: "Li Shangshu's early attack on the city must have caused the greatest losses. But by annihilating the enemy in the field, the losses are estimated to be small."

Then he stiffened his neck and said: "However, my soldier has accomplished his feats. He must give us half of the unaccounted seizures. Otherwise, I will settle old and new accounts with him."

The soldiers under his command raised their arms and shouted together. These days, everyone is tightening their belts to fight Liu Fangliang, and the fight is really hard.

In this battle, five thousand were killed and four to five thousand were wounded.

Lu Mou immediately turned to help Li Yan explain: "Everyone, everyone, although we did not capture anything in this battle, we cannot seize the captured items from the friendly forces. Besides, Li Yan said that capturing is useless, that is to say, capturing , it may be impossible to calculate, but it is more likely that there is no need to calculate it.”

Everyone was stunned and stunned. Can this be said in both positive and negative terms?

But Lu Mou shouted in his heart: "If I give you half, I have to give you one third. I can't bear it."

Zhu Changxun put all this aside and called to the generals: "Come here, come here, let's work out a breakout strategy."

Although Liu Fangliang suffered more heavy losses, he still surrounded the immobile Fifth Army Corps.

Everyone must come up with a complete breakout plan to avoid further losses during the breakout.

Lu Mou waved his hand: "What kind of research plan is there? Send someone over and tell Liu Fangliang that I have captured Binzhou Lijin. My goal is not to counterattack Shandong, but the salt of Shouguang. My campaign goal is about to be achieved, and I will continue here There is no point in stopping him. The battle between us is over. During this period, I have no intention of attacking Shandong or digging out his hometown in Jinan.

We stopped fighting, and everyone went back to their homes to find their own mothers. If it works, let's move out of the east passage and let's go. If you don't agree, I will bring over the 30,000-strong army in front of Binzhou, and we will continue to fight, and I will destroy him. "

Faced with such an arrangement, all the soldiers were stunned. For a long time, they kept asking Ai Ai: "Can this be done?" "I guarantee it can be done. Now Liu Fangliang is fighting to the death with us, not to save Binzhou Lijin, he is He is trying his best to prevent me from attacking Jinan and counterattacking Shandong. Now, he has no intention of riding a donkey. Now, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and he has suffered heavy casualties. He is just gritting his teeth and holding on. As long as I tell him, I have no intention of Shandong and no intention of Jinan. , he will definitely get down on the slope."

"Not necessarily."

"Isn't it obvious that you can send someone over there to find out?"

Liu Fangliang didn't know yet that He Zhen failed in rescuing Binzhou, or that Hong Zhiqiang decisively gave up Binzhou to break out.

He was worried about the battle before him.

He really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had such a capable army. This was completely different from the army he had seen in the past ten years of fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

But that's exactly what happened. The more he fought, the more frightened he became, and the more he fought, the less he dared to retreat. Once you retreat, you know what your subordinates will look like. You can still persevere despite struggling, but once you lose your temper, Shandong will find it difficult to gain a foothold.

This is the bad nature of the rogue army, which has been inherent since the founding of the army and cannot be changed.

Now, he has become unable to get off the donkey.

How can we end this battle? Is it a desperate move to press all Jinan's last old foundation, or is it just a confrontation like this?

Consuming it seemed to be beneficial to him. After all, the Ming army's food and grass in the encirclement was about to run out, and he wouldn't be able to consume it for long. But he owns the whole of Shandong, and he can also borrow grain from Li Fang, a younger brother of the Li Yan tribe, so that he can afford it.

He made up his mind and sent an order to the whole army not to attack again tomorrow and to encircle him without attacking, which would trap him to death.

As a result, at this time, the soldiers came in: "General, the enemy on the opposite side has sent an envoy and said that he wants to negotiate with you. Do you want to see him?"

Liu Fangliang was stunned: "The two armies are fighting, why did the other side suddenly send an envoy to discuss peace? What is his purpose? What does he mean?"

Gu Weiben smiled: "This may mean that the enemy's food and grass are about to be cut off, and under our continuous attacks, they have suffered heavy losses and they cannot hold on."

"How come they can't hold on?"

"Food and grass are one thing. But General, have you noticed that the enemy troops on the opposite side all have yellow belts tied around their waists? The yellow belts are a symbol of the royal family. They are a group of pigs supported by the Ming Dynasty. They usually show off their power and pamper themselves. This time, they may have been forced Joining the army, there is no fighting ability.

That group of people can still fight the S.F. War, but the brutal wars of the past few days have probably exhausted all the novelty energy of those old men. Coupled with the casualties of their companions, their courage has long been frightened. So although it seems that they still have the initiative and still have the strength to fight, those uncles may be forcing their generals to sue for peace from us, so that they can leave the battlefield and continue to dominate at home. "

This explanation couldn't be more reasonable. Liu Fangliang nodded: "Then shall we continue to fight, or shall we meet him?"

"I'll meet him first and see what he says. I'll take the opportunity to get a feel for him before I make the decision to fight or sleep."

Liu Fangliang nodded and ordered the soldiers: "Bring them in."
