The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 723 The So-Called Peace Talks

Li Cunxu's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words: "Taibai, don't talk nonsense!" The two of them were both ancient literary youths along the way. One liked to sing operas and the other liked to write poems, but they became confidants.

Li Bai smiled confidently, cupped his hands at Xue Rengui and said, "General, please listen to me!"

"Let's hear it!" Xue Rengui nodded.

"The reason Deng Qiang's army entered the city was because our army cut off the back road. If it continues like this, Deng Qiang's army may come and die, so it's better for our army to do this, and promise to give Deng Qiang's army a retreat, an hour Within a short period of time, our army will not pursue, and the Erdeng Qiang army will return Guangling City to our army..."

What you said is a bit suspected of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, but thinking about it, Qin Jun has already lost the Qingni Forest. If he loses Guangling City now, Xue Rengui may not be able to bear the responsibility of the civil servants at the court.

"I'm afraid Deng Qiang disagrees!" Xue Rengui hesitated.

Li Bai smiled slightly: "I used to ask that Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao are good friends, the general can teach me to make peace with Deng Qiang, and said that Zhang Hao has led the army to escape. If this is the case, our army will give Deng Qiang another hour to escape. After weighing the pros and cons, Deng Qiang will definitely agree."

"It's very dangerous to go here, you may be killed!" Xue Rengui hissed.

Li Bai is very confident: "Don't worry, general, Taibai cherishes his own life more than anyone else. I think that Deng Qiang is a smart person, and he will never be confused about this kind of thing. He just went into the city to discuss with Deng Qiang. General, please give me autonomy."

Xue Rengui said: "Beheading Deng Qiang and his soldiers on the frontal battlefield is as easy as turning the palm of your hand, so what if you spare his life now? There are ordnance in Guangling City that we have hoarded for several years, which can support the army for many years. If there is a loss, the head of Rengui will not be guaranteed, Taibai will go, if it succeeds, I will naturally ask for credit for you in front of the emperor!"

"Thank you, General!" Li Bai smiled slightly, ordered someone to fetch a large flag, took off the accessories on his body, and rode alone to the bottom of the tower.

Just near the place where the arrows were shot, a general from the city tower shot down an arrow, and the arrow was firmly planted on the ground. Li Bai reined in his horse, and as soon as he looked up, he heard the warrior on the tower shout loudly: "Who is coming, stop!" !"

Li Bai said loudly: "This general is the Taibai General appointed by His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor himself. The people on the tower will inform me that I will meet with General Deng Qiang!"

As soon as Li Bai's words fell, a general on the tower poked his head out from the wall and said loudly: "This general is Deng Qiang, what do you have to say?"

"Haha..." Li Bai laughed three times: "I thought that General Deng Qiang was a brave man. Didn't I think that today I came here alone, and the general would not dare to meet me?"

Deng Qiang thought for a while, and asked someone to find a rope from the tower, hung a basket, and put it down on the tower. Li Bai turned over and got off the horse, and patted the horse's head vigorously:
"Horse, horse, your master, I go in this time. It is still unknown whether I can come back alive. The world is so big, so you can go freely!" After saying this, Li Bai took off the bridle of the horse and pushed it away. Taking this white horse, I never thought that a white horse is also spiritual, so I came back and rubbed my head against Li Bai.

Li Bai smiled, turned around and went inside the basket, and the people on the tower pulled hard, and Li Bai slowly went up the tower.

On the top of the tower, Li Bai had just turned over and got out of the basket, when suddenly dense spears were pointed at him, Li Bai didn't change his expression, he just smiled and said: "Is this how General Cai Guo treats guests?"

When Deng Qiang heard this, his expression remained unchanged: "You and our two countries are at war, so we have to be on guard, search your body!"

Li Bai did not resist, and let the soldiers around Deng Qiang come and search him. The soldiers who searched looked back at Deng Qiang and nodded, indicating that there was no hidden weapon hidden on Li Bai's body. Just took it back.

Only then did Li Bai notice that his underwear under the iron armor was completely drenched in cold sweat.

"Tell me, what are you going to do here?" Deng Qiang looked at Li Bai expressionlessly.

Li Bai said: "Although I am the general of Qin, I still ask the general from a neutral point of view, but before I ask the question, I hope that the general will allow me whether he wants to kill me or scrape me." Finish your sentence."

"Okay! This general will agree with you." Deng Qiang nodded, but he couldn't figure out what this white and tender Qin Junwu would do here. Could it be to persuade him to surrender?

"The general has 2 people under his command, so according to the general, can he win?"

Deng Qiang said: "Cai Guo is all iron-blooded men, and they will definitely fight to the death!"

The meaning of this is obvious. Deng Qiang knew that he was surrounded and had no choice but to die, and he also expressed his mentality that he would not surrender in a deadly battle!

"The general's courage is commendable. Do you know why the former general led the army to appear under Guangling city?" Li Bai said.

"I don't know!" Deng Qiang said he didn't know, but he already had some guesses in his heart. The worst news might be that Zhang Hao had already died in battle. If you draw him away, you will definitely draw Xue Rengui away, and give yourself enough time to capture the vast land in the Guangling theater.

"You should always think for the best in everything. The general said yes or no?" Li Bai seemed to see what Deng Qiang was thinking, and said suddenly: "Zhang Hao has led the army to escape from the green mud forest. The former general expected Guangling There will be an accident, so I sent scouts to inquire, and only then did I know that the general has arrived here."

"Oh——" Deng Qiang sneered: "I have always taught General Zhang Hao what kind of person he is, how can I not know?"

"When Zhang Hao was on the north bank of the Huai River, and wanted to lead the army to continue to lure and lure me to pursue the former general, he never thought that he would meet Deng Ai, who was stationed in Handi during our dynasty (Deng Ai's army was stationed in Handi, and his vanguard general often Yuchun and Feng Sheng were recruited by the emperor to attack Suiyang together. Generals noticed this and led an army to pursue them. General Zhang Hao saw that our soldiers were numerous and had a bloody battle in the green mud forest where the fire had not yet burned out. The entire army was killed to a bloody mess, so they had no choice but to retreat."

Deng Qiang remained silent, thinking that even if what Li Bai said was a little concealed, it should not be much worse. Zhang Hao would never leave his comrades in the enemy's territory unless he had to.

"Then you came here this time to persuade them to surrender?" Deng Qiang had a faint murderous intent.

Li Bai said cheekily: "The general is a hero of the world. Although you and I are in different countries, this does not affect my respect for the general. Naturally, Taibai would not say such a thing. I am here this time. For peace talks!"

"Peace talks?" This was a bit beyond Deng Qiang's expectations: "How about peace talks?"

"I believe that the general has also seen it when he entered the city. Guangling City hoards a large amount of supplies from the Qin Kingdom. If the general fights to the end, these supplies may be difficult to preserve. Therefore, our army is willing to retreat [-] miles and give the general an hour to leave. , within this hour, our army will never pursue, and even the scouts will not be released. After an hour, everyone will live in peace.

Similarly, as a condition of exchange, the general must not move the supplies in the city, let alone set fire to them!I don't know what the general wants? "

Even if Li Bai didn't mention these materials in the city, it wouldn't take long for Deng Qiang to find out by himself.

"One hour is too little, two hours!"

Li Bai immediately said: "Okay! Two hours is two hours!

"Forehead--"

Deng Qiang felt that he had already asked for three hours...but he didn't expect Li Bai to agree immediately.

"It's just how should I believe you?" Deng Qiang looked at Li Bai with dark suspicion in his eyes.

"Xue Rengui outside the city is my former general. He has a high position and authority, and it may not be impossible to further seal him. For a felony, if even Guangling City, which has been around for a long time, is set ablaze, his life will be over, and dismissal is still light, so does the general think Xue Rengui will go back on his word?"

To put it bluntly, what Li Bai meant was that in the eyes of Xue Rengui, your 2 people are nothing compared to Guangling City.

"At least fifty miles back!" Deng Qiang began to negotiate conditions again.

"can!"

Li Bai didn't really care. For Xue Rengui, who was all cavalry, there was almost no difference between fifty miles and thirty miles.

"Deal!" Deng Qiang said: "You retreat now! I will send scouts in the army to follow you, to see if you have retreated fifty miles away?"

Li Bai despised Deng Qiang in his heart, this guy really has a lot of gossip.

"No problem, but please keep your promise, general. After your army retreats, if our army sees fireworks rising in the city, we will chase and kill the general desperately!"

Deng Qiang said angrily: "Is this general going to act like a villain?"

"The general is naturally a gentleman, but the ugly words must always be said first!" Li Bai said not to be outdone, he pretended to be his grandson for a long time, and finally he was about to leave, and he always wanted to win a round with his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Deng Qiang completely ignored Li Bai, and directly signaled to put Li Bai down from the city gate.

After getting down, Li Bai put a bridle on the white horse cheerfully, rode slowly back to the army, and cupped his hands at Xue Rengui, saying, "General, luckily you have lived up to your fate!"

Before Xue Rengui could speak, Li Bai looked puzzled: "It's just that the grandson of Deng Qiang told us to give him two hours, and then told our army to retreat fifty miles..."

Xue Rengui's smile suddenly froze on his face, and the smile lines on the corners of his mouth seemed to be frozen.

"Okay... okay! Two hours is two hours. I still have more than 2000 cavalry under my command. Let's take it as a two-hour rest. By then, I can definitely catch up with Deng Qiang!"

Most of Deng Qiang's army were infantry, with only a few cavalry. It was obvious that the Qin army had suffered a loss, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly, but Deng Qiang was too nervous now to see it.
