Chapter 3034: Ning Ji's plan

 Chapter 3034 Ning Ji’s plan

General Zhao from Jiangnan finally arrived at the capital, but his troops stayed a hundred miles away from the capital and did not go any further.

However, he sent a letter to Wei Xiao, asking for the truth about the palace coup. The letter contained the sincerity of peace talks and the will to die for the old master.

At the Jinluan Palace, Wei Xiao asked Qi Kangming to read the letter in public and asked the officials: "How should this matter be resolved?"

Mr. Zheng said humanely: "The dynasty needs stability, so naturally it is necessary to negotiate peace with Commander Zhao to avoid an unnecessary war."

Wei Xiao was furious: "Are you asking the court to bow to a rebellious minister?!"

Mr. Zheng shook his head: "Commander Zhao came to the capital on the order of Wei Qi. He is not a traitor. Moreover, he just wanted to seek the truth and did not let the army attack the city. It can be seen that his heart is still towards the court."

"Heh, holding troops to seek the truth, is this called turning one's heart toward the imperial court? He is clearly trying to shame the imperial court and seek death!" Wei Xiao did not retreat at all, and was able to destroy General Zhao in one fell swoop.

Mr. He Zhen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, compared to Fan Mao, Huang, Meng and others, Commander Zhao has always been willing to be reasonable. As long as you send someone to make it clear to him, he will definitely plead guilty to Your Majesty."

He also said: "Your Majesty, stability should be the priority now."

"Now is the time to use troops. The Duke of Qin is still waiting for new reinforcements. If there is a war in the capital, even if the soldiers and horses under Commander Zhao die, the loss will be David's combat power. With Commander Zhao, We really can't fight this battle, I beg your Majesty to think again!" Hezhen knelt down and kowtowed first, begging Wei Xiao.

Mr. Hezhen was a meritorious official of the Davidic Dynasty. He had a pure mind and only followed the high road. He never flattered anyone. Everyone was quite convinced of him.

 Therefore, the Wei family's military officials knelt down and begged Wei Xiao: "What Mr. Hezhen said is absolutely true. Please think again, your majesty."

Wei Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally said, "The Duke of Qin really needs reinforcements, and there should be no war in the country. If so, I will give Zhao a way to survive and send someone to see him."

He glanced around the ministers and finally nodded to Ning Ji: "Ninghou, please go out and lead a group of people to see General Zhao. Remember, what I want is to calm this matter and reduce the consumption of the imperial army. As for the It doesn’t matter whether he accepts the truth I give him or not... He is a minister, I am the Lord, and he should receive whatever is given to him."

 Still so domineering and ruthless.

Ning Ji received the order: "I obey the order!"

Wei Xiao ordered a few more ministers to follow him: "Marquis of Lu, take Prince Luo with you so that he can broaden his horizons and learn more skills."

Ning Ji is a suspicious person. Giving him Cheng Geer and You Geer as hostages will make it easier for him to take the bait.

 “Yes.” Cheng Geer received the order.

Because Wei Xiao was anxious, Ning Ji and others quickly left the city after ordering their troops and horses, and rushed to the Zhao army's garrison.

By the time Gu Jinli received the news, everyone had disappeared.

Gu Jinli looked at the letter from Brother Cheng and Xiao Luo You and was so angry that he wanted to curse: "Even if the peace talks have a high chance of success, going to the military camp for peace talks is always risky. If something goes wrong, how can we tell Brother Luo and Cousin Yu Explain?!"

How old is You Geer? Is it necessary to take him there?

Mother Yu said hurriedly: "Madam, please calm down. Since Your Majesty dares to let Brother You follow, he will be able to protect Brother You well. Madam doesn't have to worry."

But Gu Jinli remembered what Brother Cheng said that Ning Ji would not live long, and counting the days and looking at the timing, it should be that Ning Ji would be involved in the peace talks this time.

  Could it be that Wei Xiao wants to use Brother You as bait?

Gu Jinli was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. She felt sorry for Luo Ying and Cousin Yu... Facing the imperial power, she didn't even have the ability to protect Brother You.

 Fortunately, Brother You seemed to know about this, and wrote in the letter: Cousin, Uncle Wei asked me, and I agreed. I’m not afraid, just wait for me to come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival with you guys.

I also drew the shape of the Lantern Festival lantern I wanted, which was a flying eagle with its wings spread.

Mother Yu also read the letter. Although she didn't know the metaphor in the letter, she said: "The young eagle spreads its wings, Brother You has reached the age of flying... Madam, don't worry."

 Is this what Brother You means when he wants the Flying Eagle Lantern? This child is too thoughtful, but she only hopes that they can live a simple and happy childhood, and does not want them to enter the world too early.

After being silent for a while, Gu Jinli nodded and said: "With Brother Cheng and Brother You's ability, they will definitely be able to fly back safely... Let's prepare things and make Lantern Festival lanterns. There are many children, so we have to make more, otherwise it won't be enough."

Seeing that she was no longer worried, Grandma Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

 …

At about six o'clock the next day, Ning Ji and others arrived outside the Zhao Jiajun camp as promised.

General Zhao, with more than a dozen generals and thousands of soldiers, personally came out to greet them: "Ninghou, Lu Guohou, Mr. He Zhen, Mr. Qi, Mr. Quan, and General Zhang, please don't blame me for not being able to welcome them from afar. .”

Ning Ji looked at General Zhao... This attitude was really cordial, and he had no intention of seeking justice for Wei Qi. It seemed that this so-called peace talk did not need to be discussed at all, it was just a formality.

General Zhao looked at Xiao Luo You again and said with a smile: "Prince Luo is here too."

 “I’ve met Commander Zhao.” Xiao Luo performed a junior salute.

General Zhao smiled and said: "Prince Luo, there is no need to be polite. It is Zhao's honor that you can come."

Wei Xiao even sent Luo You as bait, he really thought highly of...Ninghou.

 “Everyone, please!” General Zhao stepped aside and invited them to enter the camp.

Ning Ji hesitated for a while and took the lead: "Commander Zhao is very sincere. We should be happy to attend the appointment."

If you don't even dare to enter this military camp, and you don't even dare to go to this station, what's the point of talking about the future?

 Dong dong dong!

 The sound of war drums spread throughout the camp.

"Hoo **** ho!" Tens of thousands of soldiers came out of the camp and shouted loudly, resounding through the sky. The momentum was so overwhelming that if you were timid, your legs would be weak from fear.

Ning Ji looked at these soldiers and was very satisfied. With a smile on his lips, he glanced at General Zhao and said, "Commander Zhao is very good at running the army. These soldiers can be called a tiger army."

General Zhao said: "Marquis Ning is so complimentary."

Cheng Geer smiled and said: "Ninghou is not a false praise. These soldiers are indeed very powerful."

This is a mixed army from the north and the south, but at a glance, there is no softness of the south of the Yangtze River, but the fierceness of the tigers and wolves of the north...especially the eyes of some soldiers, looking at them, as if they are staring at lumps of meat. .

And this look in his eyes is very much like that of the thieves written in the second brother-in-law's letter... He lies down and closes his eyes like an animal, with cannibalistic eyes. With just one command, he will pounce on his prey and tear it into pieces!

 Brother Cheng clenched Xiao Luo You's hand, looked down at him, and then glanced at Zhang Yan.

 Zhang Yan nodded slightly at him, indicating that he had noticed... some of the soldiers in the Zhao army were indeed too fierce.

but…

Da da da!

There was a sound of running footsteps of soldiers. It was Wei Changling who led his troops into the military camp.

He sat on the horse, looked at General Zhao from a distance, and said: "Commander Zhao, I am a step late, please forgive me!"

Commander Zhao smiled and said: "Brother Changling is joking. We have known each other for ten years, and you are His Majesty's confidant. Not to mention leading the troops into the military camp, even if you rush into the Zhao mansion, I will not blame you as a brother."

After hearing this, Wei Changling quickly dismounted his horse, saluted General Zhao, and said, "Commander Zhao, please forgive me."

General Zhao smiled and helped him up, and sighed: "You all know my temper, and I will not do any evil. I only ask for the truth, and I will always be David's minister... Come in."
