Horse on the World

Chapter 972

"Okay!" Chen Zeyue slapped the table and laughed loudly, "I'll go, and I'll meet this Minzhou general!"
"Wait a minute!" Qingfeng said, "General Chen, you can't go. You are the chief general of an army and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the [-] Dingzhou army here, so you can't take this risk."
Chen Zeyue frowned, "Since Zhang Aimin has agreed to go in person, what can I do if I don't go? Doesn't it appear that we are not sincere? Adding variables to a once-in-a-lifetime event?"
Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Zhang Aimin is a cunning person, and it is not ruled out that he will take desperate actions. If he has the heart of breaking the boat, to him, it is nothing more than to advance the worst result, but to us, it is unacceptable."

"If I don't go, who will?" Chen Zeyue pondered.

"I'll go!" Qingfeng said.

Chen Zeyue was startled, "If I can't go, the dean can't even go. To be honest, I can't afford this relationship, dean."

"You are the chief general of the first army, but I don't have this burden. Besides, besides you, I am the only one in the camp who has the right to represent Dingzhou to negotiate with Zhang Aimin. If Zhang Aimin surrenders, it will be a big deal for us." Good thing, we can't let go of such a thing." Qingfeng said with a smile.

"The dean has an honorable status. If there is something wrong, I can't explain it. You can't go."

Qingfeng stood up, "I'm just the superintendent, even if Zhang Aimin hides evil intentions and puts me in an unexpected place, the loss will not be too great for Dingzhou, and General Chen, you command the army, and you can launch an attack at any time. That's the matter." After Qingfeng said these few words, he strode out.Qiuping and Xia Xue followed immediately.
An Ruosu turned around and wanted to go, but Chen Zeyue stopped him, "What time is Zhang Aimin's appointment?"

"Two days later, it's the third watch!" An Ruosu said.

Chen Zeyue was silent for a while, and said: "Come here, bring me back the extra money. General Wang, your Changsheng Battalion should also be ready for battle the night after tomorrow."
Wang Yan nodded, "Yes, General Chen, the Changsheng Battalion is ready to fight at any time."
"You must ensure the safety of Director Qingfeng, and there must be no accidents. In the event of an accident, your Changsheng Camp must quickly cut between Zhangjiatun and Donglin City."
"Yes, but General Chen, if an accident really happens, what will Zhang Aimin and others do to support Dean Qingfeng?"

Chen Zeyue said: "First, Dean Qingfeng has the Flying Eagle Brigade under his command. If an accident happens, it should be able to withstand it for a period of time. At this time, Qian Duo's tiger battalion will launch an attack, and it should be able to rescue the dean. Second, if you What I said really happened, no matter what, we can't let Dean Qingfeng fall into the other party's hands alive."
The corners of Wang Yan's eyes shrank: "This?"

"Do as I say, and I will fully bear the consequences in the future."

Two days later, at midnight, Zhangjiatun Baiyanggang.

Dressed in casual clothes, Zhang Aimin, accompanied by a dozen bodyguards, rode lightly onto Baiyanggang.
"Commander, they are coming!" A personal guard pointed to the opposite side, and in the night, dozens of war horses came from a distance.Zhang Aimin frowned slightly, "Chen Zeyue's legs are disabled, how can he ride a horse, could it not be him?"
The personal guard said angrily: "Commander, if Chen Zeyue doesn't come by himself, I don't think there is anything to talk about. The other party clearly doesn't take us seriously. Even if we pass, how will we stand in the future?"
Zhang Aimin nodded, if Dingzhou is really like this, then there is really nothing to talk about.

A dozen or so horses drove up to Baiyanggang, waited dozens of steps away from Zhang Aimin and his party, stopped, and immediately the knight got off his horse and walked towards Zhang Aimin. To Zhang Aimin's surprise, the person in the lead turned out to be a woman.
"Zhang Aimin, Marshal Zhang?" The woman wrapped in heavy fur on the opposite side looked at Zhang Aimin calmly and asked.

With the light of the torch, Zhang Aimin looked at the other party, but the surprise in his heart became more and more intense, "Qingfeng? Director of the Dingzhou Supervisory Academy?"
"Dashuai Zhang has no rules, it is Qingfeng." Qingfeng smiled slightly, but the other party was not simple, and he guessed his identity as soon as he met him.Although Qingfeng is well-known, in this continent, there are really not many people who have seen her true face.
"I thought General Chen Zeyue would come in person?" Zhang Aimin said.
Qingfeng waved his hand, and a few soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, opened the foldable small table and stool in their hands, and put them between the two of them, and someone came up with a food box in his hand, opened the The dishes inside were arranged one by one, and they were still steaming.
"Please sit down!" Qingfeng smiled and said, "What's the matter? Does Marshal Zhang think that I'm not qualified to talk to you? General Chen's legs are disabled and he's not good at walking, so I'm here."

Zhang Aimin didn't refuse, and sat down directly, "In terms of qualifications, Dean Qingfeng's status is higher than that of General Chen Zeyue, but if I really want to choose a partner for negotiation, I would rather talk to General Chen than you. "

"Oh, why is that?" Qingfeng asked with a smile.

"Because we are all soldiers!" Zhang Aimin said coldly.

"General Chen Zeyue is a soldier, but Marshal Zhang, you are not a pure soldier anymore, you are more often a politician." Qingfeng said bluntly.
Zhang Aimin laughed, "Principal Qingfeng is indeed as powerful as in the legends. I have been educated. Dare I ask, which army is behind you watching us?"

"To each other!" Qingfeng smiled and pointed in the direction of Donglin City, "behind you, isn't it normal?"

"To show my sincerity, I have been withdrawing from the garrison in the Zhangjiatun Bastion one after another since yesterday. How about the Dingzhou Army, where do you show your sincerity?"

"First, I am here. This is the greatest sincerity. Second, after we attacked a bastion, we did not continue to attack. Marshal Zhang should understand that if we continue, your garrison in Zhangjiatun will not be able to wait." When you took the initiative to order the retreat, didn't you, I think our sincerity is enough." Qingfeng said.

"Can Dean Qingfeng represent the Dingzhou army in Donglin?" Zhang Aimin asked.
"Not only can I represent the Dingzhou army here, but I can also represent the core executives of Dingzhou, and even my general. This can provide the greatest protection for your future. I think, on this point, General Chen Zeyue is You dare not promise, do you?"

"I believe it." Zhang Aimin nodded. "Since that's the case, let's get straight to the point, and there is no need to go around in circles. If I lead an army of [-] in Minzhou and millions of people surrender to Dingzhou, what will I do?"

"Compared to Xiao Yuanshan's example!" Qingfeng said simply.
Zhang Aimin frowned, "Principal Qingfeng, I am different from Xiao Yuanshan. When Xiao Yuanshan surrendered to Dingzhou, he was at the end of his rope. There were not many troops left in the territory. The economy was about to collapse, and he was attacked by both Dingzhou and Luoyang. The second way can be taken, but now my Minzhou has strong soldiers and horses, and can get great support from Luoyang, how can it be simply compared with Xiao Yuanshan?"
Qingfeng said with a half smile but not a smile: "Dashuai Zhang really thinks so? When Xiao Yuanshan surrendered, there were of course the factors you mentioned, but at that time, Dingzhou and Luoyang were still tied, and it was not yet known who would win. A sensible person like Zhang Dashuai naturally sees the form clearly. Luoyang is already a grasshopper after autumn, and it will only be a few days. Compared with the icing on the cake, it is clear at a glance which is more important, not to mention the secluded place. Yan's geographical location is more important to us than Minzhou."

"Luoyang still has half of the country, and it's too early to say the outcome." Zhang Aimin said coldly.

"Dashuai Zhang really thinks so in his heart?" Qingfeng laughed.

Zhang Aimin was silent for a moment, "Zhou Tong still has 20 troops in Luzhou. If Minzhou surrenders to Dingzhou, I believe Dean Qingfeng will understand the significance of Dingzhou's defeat of Zhou Tong."

Qingfeng clapped his hands, "Dashuai Zhang can see clearly, it is because of this that we are now willing to treat you like the example of General Xiao Yuanshan, of course, if you want to get a better status, it depends on your performance in the next battle Our Dingzhou has always rewarded and punished with military merits. If General Zhang can make a major contribution to Zhou Tong’s troops who encircled and wiped out Suzhou when we launch a general offensive next spring, then what’s the problem even if he is appointed as a Marquis? Woolen cloth?"
"Can Dingzhou ensure that after I surrender, I will still keep the army, and that the army will not be cleaned or reorganized?"
"Dingzhou can guarantee that the wealth of the Zhang family in Minzhou after the war will not be disturbed? And guarantee their lives? I know that Marshal Li will spare no effort to attack the wealthy families with a lot of land in their hands!"

"I can guarantee it!" Qingfeng smiled and said: "There is no problem at all, Marshal Zhang, I know that your Zhang family is the largest landowner in Minzhou, but after you join Dingzhou, maybe you will sell the land impatiently? In our Dingzhou, collecting land is the slowest and most stupid way to make money, and now the merchants in our Dingzhou are making money every day, and land is no longer a good thing for them!"

Zhang Aimin was noncommittal, "If Dean Qingfeng agrees to these conditions, we in Minzhou are willing to surrender, but we have to ask Dean Qingfeng to preserve the conditions just now in a formal document."

"What's the problem?" Qingfeng said with a smile: "But Marshal Zhang, we can reach an agreement now, but you can't formally change the flag now, but wait until tomorrow when the spring is warm and we officially launch an offensive in Suzhou. .”
"I understand that, we want to encircle and wipe out Zhou Tong's troops!" Zhang Aimin said.

Qingfeng raised his wine glass, "So, we can celebrate that Marshal Zhang has officially joined Dingzhou?"
With a bang, the two wine glasses collided.
The two groups of people separated and left. After the cup of tea, the dense forest in Baiyanggang suddenly squirmed under the snow. Dozens of people came out from the ground and shook off the snow on their bodies. Eagle team members.
"No cleaning, no reorganization? How is this possible?" Chen Zeyue blushed, "Dean Qingfeng, you shouldn't agree to this. All troops who surrendered to Dingzhou must be reorganized and retrained before they can return to the Order of battle!"
Qingfeng smiled and said: "General Chen, don't be irritable. I promise this because I have seen the encirclement and annihilation campaign against Zhou Tong next year. At that time, how the Minzhou Army will fight and how much will be left in the end will depend on how you do it." It’s working, since Zhang Aimin surrendered to the Dingzhou Army and wants to get a high position, how can he do it without making some major contributions? Don’t you think so?”
