Chapter 1105 Peace talks begin(1/2)
Seeing Himekawa like this, all the generals calmed down a lot, and Your Majesty was able to vent their anger for them.
Cui Lai hurriedly asked: "Since the negotiation is about to begin, should we control Xiao Luan? He has been here for a long time and has been trapped in the camp. It is better to capture him directly."
He was asking, but he was also intentionally diverting the conversation.
Ever since His Majesty was coerced and pressured to compromise in Beijing, he has always been in a bad mood. Whenever Daning is mentioned, he feels unjust.
Just like now.
When negotiating the Daning border, I still had concerns and didn’t want to go.
Daning agreed to negotiate in Wei territory, but felt that Daning was dismissive.
Isn't this a contradiction?
Of course, Daning does have this intention, but what can he do?
Before leaving, Prime Minister Song Taiping repeatedly urged him to comfort His Majesty, ensure smooth peace talks and avoid unnecessary complications.
Anyway, the humiliation has been endured and everyone has compromised, so what's the point of fighting anymore?
But now it seems that it may not go smoothly...
"Okay, control him well."
Himekawa waved his hand casually.
At this point, Xiao Luan no longer matters.
"Then I will go and make arrangements."
"You should all prepare and wait for the negotiation."
Ji Chuan looked at Fan Huazang.
"You go with me."
"In addition, during the negotiations, the military was on alert to avoid a breakdown in the negotiations."
"According to the order!"
Everyone's expressions became solemn.
The Wei State began to prepare, and Xiao Luan, as one of the conditions for negotiation, naturally wanted to control it first.
Xiao Luan came to the border earlier than Ji Chuan. He was placed in a relatively remote camp, which was considered a stronghold. There were 5,000 people stationed here.
Just being arranged here, there is nothing to follow.
He was also restricted from going out.
The reason is that the military camp is an important area and one is not allowed to wander around at will.
As for the promise to let him lead the army at that time, it was also delayed because it was being arranged.
Trapped here, completely cut off from contact with the outside world, he didn't even know that Himekawa had come to the border.
This made him restless all day long.
Xiao Luan lives in an independent courtyard. This was originally the residence of the generals of the military station, but it has been vacated for him.
"Go, find Mr. Cui here for me. What do you mean, just bring me here and forget about it?"
Xiao Luan dragged a soldier and roared angrily.
"Why don't you let me out!"
"Master Cui has told me that he has already gone to work on it for you, so you can rest assured."
This is what soldiers always say.
"Today, I must see Cui Lai!"
Xiao Luan was furious and lost all his patience.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
At this moment, Cui Lai walked in, and he brought a group of soldiers with him.
"Cui Lai?"
Xiao Luan was slightly startled, but his expression was still angry.
"Why did you just bring me here and ignore the promise of letting me lead the troops? When will it be fulfilled?"
He kept asking questions.
"It was my improper arrangement."
Cui Lai said hurriedly: "Leading troops requires some care and attention. Your status is quite special."
"Isn't this already arranged?"
"oh?"
Xiao Luan's expression softened slightly.
Cui Lai pointed to a general wearing armor next to him.
"This is Captain Wu Yong. You already know him. He is the general of this military station. According to the arrangement, he will obey your orders. There are five thousand people in this military station, and they will all obey your orders."
"oh?"
Xiao Luan's eyes lit up.
Although five thousand people is not a large number, at least there is a force that can be used.
"I need to send a letter to Jishitang."
Xiao Luan made a request.
When we get to the border, we are closer to Daning, so we can make arrangements more conveniently.
He still has some manpower hidden in Daning, which can be activated now.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?"
Cui Lai said: "Jishitang has been sealed off by Emperor Yuanwu!"
"What!"
Xiao Luan said anxiously: "Is what you said true?"
In his surprise, he did not notice that Cui Lai was stepping back and at the same time giving a look to Captain Wu Yong from before.
"Do it!"
Wu Yong gave the order.
Afterwards, many soldiers swarmed up and captured Xiao Luan before he could react.
"You...what are you going to do!"
"Your Highness!"
At this time, a scream sounded, and Xuan Qingzhu rushed over.
At the same time, Xiao Luan's guards also drew their swords and prepared to take action.
The scene immediately became tense.
Outside, a large number of soldiers rushed in.
Xiao Luan was pulled aside directly, unable to move at all.
"Cui Lai, what are you going to do!"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I deceived you. I didn't ask you to come to the border to lead troops for you, but to hand you over to Daning!"
"Leave it to Daning?"
"you……"
Xiao Luan's eyes were filled with shock.
He had never thought that Wei would do such a thing, and he had never doubted it before.
Cui Lai's performance was so good!
"I know this result is difficult for you to accept, but there is nothing we can do."
Cui Lai took a few steps back.
"Wu Yong, I'll leave this place to you, and I'll take Xiao Luan away."
"My lord is too cautious. In fact, you can just capture him directly, so why bother?"
"This is safer and avoids unnecessary complications."
Cui Lai was an extremely cautious person, so he used such a strategy.
He knew in his heart that Xiao Luan was not an ordinary person. Only in this way would there be no surprises.
