Zhu Youxiao looked down at the memorial again, and asked inadvertently:

"What did he say?"

Wei Zhongxian did not answer directly, but looked around and winked at Wang Chaofu who was waiting outside. The latter was also sharp-eyed and quickly called the crowd of people in the capital, and the young eunuchs retreated.

When only Emperor Tianqi and himself were in the Western Warehouse, Wei Zhongxian said: "The peace talks have been completed. I am wise and Jiannu has fallen into your plan."

Zhu Youxiao's expression did not change at all. He still lowered his head and approved the memorials submitted by the civil servants, saying:

"You are the worm in my stomach. I always think that you, Wei Zhongxian, are the best at understanding my thoughts."

Wei Zhongxian only thought the emperor was praising his ability to do things, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the servants and servants are not familiar with civil and military affairs and unclear about political affairs. The only thing they know is to share the worries of Your Majesty."

"Then tell me, should I follow this slope and make peace?" As for this, Zhu Youxiao paused in his hand and slowly raised his eyes.

Wei Zhongxian was so angry that his heart was so sharp that he chuckled:

"I don't know military affairs, nor do I know what the situation the Liaodong war has reached now. I just know that Jiannu is all ambitions."

"Even if the emperor takes this contract seriously, when Zhu Shi withdraws his troops, Jiannu may have to tear the contract backhand. These barbarians can do anything."

"I came from a private background and knew this principle the most."

Wei Zhongxian had long guessed that the current emperor intends to negotiate peace, not just peace talks, but he didn't understand what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do before.

Now it seems that as he had expected before, the emperor's peace talks were fake, and it was true that he wanted to use peace talks as a guise to make Jiannu be neglected to prevent.

In fact, the emperor had already made up his mind to fight another fight!

But I don’t know how to deal with this when Cui Chengxiu comes back. Since she is a private peace agreement and turns her back on others afterwards, she cannot be said to have been sent to the custody afterwards.

It seems that the blame must be taken by Lao Wei...

Zhu Youxiao could roughly guess the little Jiujiu in Wei Zhongxian's heart now. After hearing this, he realized that this guy had long guessed that his peace talks were fake, so he was so honest during this period.

Zhu Youxiao did not answer directly, but pointed to a tree in the distance of Xihunting Pavilion, put down his brush, and asked with a smile: "Do you recognize what this is?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and replied, "Pine tree."

"Where is that?" Zhu Youxiao pointed his finger to the other side.

Wei Zhongxian was puzzled and answered honestly: "Cypress."

Zhu Youxiao pointed out again, and Wei Zhongxian answered again, until he repeated several times. Wei Zhongxian thought about it carefully and then replied: "The emperor forgives the crime, and I am old and my eyes are dizzy and I don't recognize it."

Zhu Youxiao was not angry. He walked outside the West Warehouse Pavilion and stood with his hands behind his back. He stood in the middle of a row of stone pillars, just like lush pines and cypresses, and his words seemed to reveal thousands of firmness.

"This time, I have to carry it myself."

"I passed on my secret decree to ask Cui Chengxiu to sign the contract with a formal ceremony. The day when the Later Jin army retreated was the time for the decisive battle."

Wei Zhongxian was shocked and looked at the emperor silently for a while. Then he let go of his thoughts of persuading him, lowered his head and said, "I understand."

......

The news of peace talks spread wildly.

After half a year of fighting, countless soldiers from Liaodong sprinkled blood on the battlefield. The court actually wanted to surrender and give gifts. Everyone who saw and heard was indignant.

Fifty miles west of Liaoyang City, the camp of the army aided Liao.

"The court has negotiated peace!"

"This matter is so irrelevant. How many brothers have died along the way when we have helped Liaoning thousands of miles away? It's a good thing now. Just one word from the court has actually negotiated peace!"

"That's right, no one knows what's going on."

"Didn't it be that the result of the court meeting a few days ago was that the ministers disagreed with peace talks? Is it because the eunuch party deceived the holy hearing and instigated His Majesty to make peace talks?"

The huge camp was filled with such complaints and dissatisfaction, but it was still far from the time to stir up a mutiny. After all, the majesty of Emperor Aoki is still there anyway.

This time, Ningxia Town sent 17,000 troops.

Zhu Xieyuan made contributions to pacifying the southwest and was ordered to supervise the elite troops of the seven towns to leave the pass. He was known as a 200,000 army and commanded the seven generals and thirty-six generals. Wang Rujin was one of the seven border towns that left the pass this time and the general of Ningxia Town.

Recently, the news that Emperor Tianqi secretly ordered the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu and the slave chief to discuss peace spread throughout the camp.

When the soldiers heard this news, they didn't believe it at first, and then they complained a lot. Although the generals were puzzled, they were trying hard to maintain order in the camp. In addition, the supervisor Zhu Xieyuan did not say a word about this, which made him even more confusing.

In the camp in Ningxia Town, there are twenty well-equipped soldiers living in a camp. These people are all servants carefully selected by Wang Rujin.

"Since we are going to negotiate peace, why did the Grand Marshal ask us to polish the quick knife recently for it to be used?" a man suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the rest of the people didn't understand.

"Could it be that the Grandmaster has any other plans and wants to make another vote before signing the contract?"

"Hahaha, I still believe it if you say it is another great commander. Our great commander is impossible. You should go back to Ningxia obediently!"

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

Indeed, these servants know their own generals best. After Wang Rujin's previous defeat in Ningxia, his battles were not very brave.

With Wang Rujin's temperament, the most likely this time was to directly withdraw from the pass with the army. Many generals discussed in private, saying that they would have to fight for a vote, but Wang Rujin, the general of Ningxia, would never be able to participate.

When the servants in Ningxia saw Wang Rujin's method, they could see it.

Li Guo was free and had nothing to do, so he went to the housekeeper's tent to chat with Li Hongji.

As soon as he walked in, he saw that the servants were playing, only Li Hongji kept his head sharpening his knife, and said in confusion:

"The contract is about to be signed and withdrawn. Uncle, no matter how bright your sword is, it is useless. Who are you going to fight!"

After saying that, he sat on the couch and sighed heavily.

Li Hongji's eyes were flashing with a glimmer of light, and he was still sharpening his knife meticulously. He raised his sword and looked at Sun Guang, and said lightly:

"You go back and sharpen your knife, too."

Li Guo didn't raise his butt and sat there and muttered: "Who will you cut off after being rubbed? Just like Wang Rujin, would he dare to follow the commander Wang to fight the Tartars?"

Li Hongji glanced at him and cursed: "It's the death row prisoner's bag. I told you to rub it and you'll go and rub it, and it's all over the place."

"When I become the boss, you still have to be a soldier!"

"What's the matter? Uncle, if you become a sergeant, then I have to be a sergeant! Hehe, uncle, do you think so?" Li Guo was not angry when he was scolded, but instead laughed.

Seeing Li Hongji glaring back, Li Guo patted his butt and stood up as he walked, saying, "Okay, okay! You can beat me, I have to go back and pack up the bedding, so I can save the withdrawal in a few days and get busy!"

Li Hongji was also amused by Li Guo's appearance. When he saw Li Guo leave the camp, he kept grinding his knife without saying a word.

Withdrawal?

For some reason, although he was going to sign a contract recently and was preparing to withdraw his troops, Li Hongji always felt that things were not that simple.

The generals and generals in the camp were all in a panic and did not make much arrangements for the withdrawal of troops. The movement of troops did not seem to withdraw troops at all, but rather it seemed to be preparing for war!
