Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370
Why bother?Naturally there is my reason, Li Song said: "I am originally from Longxi County, Liangzhou, and I have relatives in my hometown."

A simple sentence contains a lot of information, but it shows why Li Song took so much trouble. It is because once the Xiliang army is defeated, Ma Chao will spread his anger on the Li family.

That's why it took so much trouble to cut off the Xiliang army's retreat to the west, so as to keep the Li family safe from harm.

Of course, these are not the key points. Li Song is actually waiting for the enemy to come to cede territory for peace, so that he can better divide them and weaken the enemy while trying to preserve his own strength. Fighting does not necessarily mean fighting.

"Report!" A soldier from outside the tent rushed in, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Song and said, "Report to the Prime Minister! Special envoy Han Sui of the Xiliang Army came to ask for an audience!"

"Why did Han Sui send a special envoy to our army?" Pei Yuanqing said.

"The Xiliang army is being attacked on three sides, I'm afraid they are here to surrender!" Wei Yan said.

"Hmph! How do you know that you are here to surrender, not to fight? I think the Xiliang army is planning to fight our army to the death." Song Xian said.

"Okay! What are you here for? You can tell when you come in and ask. Why make random guesses here." Li Song stopped.

If they were allowed to develop like this, even if it was dark, there would be no results. It would be better to call someone in and ask them. Li Song had already guessed the purpose of the person's visit.

"Go and bring in the special envoy of the Xiliang Army!" Li Song said to the soldiers kneeling on the ground.

"No!" The soldiers took the order and left, and after a while, they brought Yang Qiu, the special envoy of the Xiliang Army, and retreated with a salute.

"My servant, Yang Qiu, is here on behalf of the Xiliang Army..."

"Presumptuous! You don't kneel down when you see the prime minister!" Hou Cheng and Yang Qiu dared to be impolite, and he couldn't help but angrily reprimanded him, interrupting Yang Qiu's words, very dissatisfied with Yang Qiu who doesn't understand etiquette.

Li Song did not open his mouth to stop Hou Cheng's move, but was happy to see it succeed. Yang Qiu came here to seek peace for the Xiliang Army. To put it bluntly, he came to bow his head to him. Don't give him a blow.

"Meet the Prime Minister!" Yang Qiu knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists in a salute, this time he came here to seek peace, if things go wrong, it would be bad.

"Exemption! Yang Qiu, why are you here in my camp?" Li Song said.

Yang Qiu got up, cupped his hands and said: "Returning to the prime minister, I came this time to seek peace. Our two armies have been fighting for a long time, and there are countless casualties. My general wants to end this war."

"Specially ordered me to come here and send the land cession request for peace, and please have a look at it." After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he took out a letter from his body, knelt down on one knee, and held it above his head.

Xu Chu stepped forward to take the peace proposal, turned around and put it on Li Song's desk, and Li Song spread out the peace petition for inspection.

After reading it, Li Song said: "You go back to the camp for the time being, and I will send someone to write back to your general in the future, so that he can wait in peace."

"Since that's the case! Then I'll go back and return! Let me go." Yang Qiu resigned.

"Ma Chao and Han Sui want to cede land for peace! What do you decide?" After Yang Qiu left, Li Song asked everyone.

Jia Xu came out, bowed his hands and said, "I don't know what the prime minister's plan is?"

Li Song smiled and said, "Wenhe, I asked everyone, why did you ask me instead?"

"This is related to the direction of development of the matter. Only if we know the prime minister's thoughts, we can speak up and offer suggestions." Jia Xu said.

Li Songdao: "If it's according to your opinion, what would Wen He do?"

Jia Xu said: "As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. If it were me, I would pretend to agree; and then use countermeasures to make Han Sui and Ma Chao suspicious of each other. In this way, they will kill each other! Our army will be able to catch fisherman profit."

Li Song clapped his palms and said happily: "The world has great opinions, and there are many similarities. The plan of Wenhe is exactly what I want. I will write a letter and write back to Han Sui."

Li Song immediately sent someone to write back, saying: "Wait for me to retreat slowly, and then return your Hexi land." On the one hand, he taught to build a pontoon bridge, as a sign of retreating.

Ma Chao got the book, saying that Han Sui said: "Although Li Song promised He, he didn't know what was in his heart, and he didn't know whether he really agreed to our request."

"If you don't make preparations, I'm afraid you will be controlled by them. Chao and uncle take turns to deploy troops. Today uncle Xiang Li Song, keep an eye on their every move, I Xiang Gao Lan and others; tomorrow I will monitor the enemy army, uncle Xiang Gao Lan Let's wait for others to prepare separately to prevent him from cheating." Han Sui followed his plan.

Someone informed Li Song earlier, and Li Song said to Jia Xu: "My business can be successful! The Xiliang Army will be defeated in a few days."

Li Song asked the person who came to report the letter: "Who will monitor my movement tomorrow?"

The man reported: "Han Sui."

"Okay! It's a good time to drive them apart, God help me!" Li Song laughed loudly.

The next day, Li Song led his generals out of the camp, and surrounded them from left to right. Li Song rode alone in the center. Many of Han Sui's soldiers did not know Li Song, and they went out to watch, and the crowds were crowded.

Li Song shouted: "You all want to see what I, Li Song, look like? In fact, I am just a human being with a head on my shoulders, a mouth, a nose, and two eyes. I just look a little handsome."

Zhu Jun rolled his eyes straight after hearing this, who is this.Han Sui almost fell off his horse, Li Song called someone over to call Han Sui and said, "The Prime Minister would like to invite General Han to have a conversation."

Han Sui went out immediately; seeing that Li Song had no armor, he also abandoned his armor, and came out lightly dressed on a horse. The two horses' heads met, and each pressed their bridles to talk to each other.

Li Songdao: "My Li family and the general are relatives of the sons and daughters. Why don't the generals care about the love of the sons and daughters, but want to conspire against Ma Chao? What is it for, so that you don't even care about the future of your sons and daughters?"

Han Sui opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word. He felt bitter!If Ma Chao hadn't coerced him, he wouldn't have done this.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Song continued, "How old is the general this year?"

Han Sui didn't know why Li Song would ask this question so well, and replied, "I'm 40 years old this year."

Li Song said with some emotion: "The years make people grow old, and the world will be peaceful and happy together!"

The two of them just talked about their family's grievances, and didn't mention the military situation. After talking, they laughed and talked for an hour.

Someone had already reported this to Ma Chao.After Ma Chao heard this, he became suspicious. The two of them went out to chat alone. What did they say? Could it be that Han Suiyu planned to join the enemy and secretly harmed me, otherwise how could they have such a happy conversation.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao felt that this was a possibility.

Ma Chao said humanely to his subordinates: "After Han Sui came back, he hurried to tell me that I want to find out his truth personally."

"No!" The man took the order and left.
