Chapter 213 Reaching an agreement
Zhang Lang smiled, "You are willing to do this kind of thing. If you don't want it, just go back!" Zhu Rong stared at Zhang Lang, feeling a little panicked, completely gone as calm as he had just arrived, and said to himself: Is he not worried about the war with us at all? Or is he already planning to completely destroy us?
Thinking of this, Zhu Rong became frightened.
Zhang Lang looked at Zhu Rong and said in his stomach: Although she is very smart, she has no negotiation experience after all, and I actually lost her limits in just a few strokes! Haha.
"I can agree to the peace agreement. However, the conditions I just mentioned have no room for bargaining! Either accept or oppose! What kind of choice should you make, it's up to you!"
Zhu Rong thought for a while and looked at Zhang Lang: "I have no choice but to make decisions about this matter, I must go back and discuss with everyone."
Zhang Lang nodded, "Of course. I'll give you half a month. You guys have a good discussion."
Zhu Rong was stunned. She didn't expect that the other party would be willing to give herself half a month to have such a long time! However, when she thought about it, she couldn't help but be shocked: Half a month, will the main force of the Han army arrive in half a month?
Looking at Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang was smiling, but Zhu Rong felt that the smile was so hideous and terrifying! He bowed to Zhang Lang, turned around and left.
As soon as Zhu Rong left, Ma Chao couldn't help asking: "General, should we really wait for them for half a month?"
Zhang Lang touched his chin and sneered: "We only wait for five days." He glanced at Ma Chao, "Your cavalry is ready. After five days, raid immediately!" Ma Chao agreed with his fists.
...
Zhu Rong came back and explained Zhang Lang's request to Meng Huo and others. Meng Huo immediately shouted: "It's too much to bully people! It's too much to bully people! Do Lu Bu really think we are afraid of him?" Looking at Zhu Rong, he said angrily: "You should refute him on the spot!" Zhu Rong glanced at the angry Meng Huo and said angrily: "Do you think we have room for choice? Or, do you hope that all our races will suffer a catastrophe? This is not angering for you alone, but a major event related to the life and death of all races! How can you act angrily?"
Meng Huo blew and his face turned red.
Zhu Rong thought, "The other party's conditions are understandable!" He glanced at Meng Huo, "After all, we reached an armistice agreement with them not long ago, but soon violated it again! They no longer believed us!"
Meng Huo remained silent, staring at the floor in front of him, his eyes a little scary; no one else spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
...
Time passed day by day, and there was no news on the barbarian army.
Ma Chao's cavalry was ready to attack, and the scouts who disguised themselves as barbarians had set off.
Zhang Lang stood on the city gate tower, looking into the distance, frowning slightly. In the morning fog, the mountains and rivers in the south were hazy, like freehand landscape paintings. Ma Chao walked quickly and clasped his fists excitedly and said, "General, our army is ready and can set off at any time."
Zhang Lang murmured, "This period of time, this area is foggy every day." He turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "You set out tonight tonight and strive to launch a raid on the Kunming Lake Manchu camp in the early morning tomorrow! Remember, you only have one target, completely destroy the Kunming Lake camp and kill Meng Huo, and the rest of the targets are second! After the matter is completed, send a message immediately." "No." Ma Chao held his fists and ran down the city wall.
The sun gradually rose and the thick fog gradually dissipated; in Lujin Pass, there were sharpening swords, and tens of thousands of fully armed thunder cavalry were waiting for the night to come.
Suddenly, the lookout soldiers saw a group of people walking in the bright sky outside the city, all dressed by barbarians. The lookout soldiers immediately issued a warning message. Zhang Lang and others immediately rushed to the city wall, and the soldiers of the army were ready to fight immediately.
Zhang Lang looked into the distance and saw Zhu Rong riding a horse in front of him. He smiled, "Maybe there is no need to fight this battle!" He slapped Ma Chao next to him, "Go back to the hall to wait for them."
The team came to the city gate, and a barbarian officer shouted, "We are the envoys of the tribes, please open the city gate."
The city gate was opened, and the team walked through the city gate, followed by an officer, leading them to look for the capital.
In the lobby, Zhu Rong met Zhang Lang and then said, "General, I have brought the hostages you need according to your request." Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Thank you all the way."
Xu Huang ran in from outside, came to Zhang Lang, and whispered: "I have let the locals see it. They are indeed Meng Huo's youngest son and the saint of the Fire God clan."
Zhang Lang's eyes floated towards Zhurong and smiled and said, "Since you sincerely seek peace, I'm not doing anything for yourself!" He glanced at Xu Huang. Xu Huang immediately picked up a map on the desk, walked to Zhurong, and handed it to Zhurong. Zhang Lang said, "The location where our army is going to take over has been marked on the map. Look."
Zhu Rong opened the map, looked carefully, and nodded.
Zhang Lang asked: "When will you return the wealth and goods you plundered from the prefectures and counties?"
Zhurong said: "The materials and personnel are being transported to Kunming Lake. You can receive them together when you take action."
Zhang Lang nodded, "Then it's okay. It's not easy for the Queen to come here. Let's stay tonight and go back tomorrow."
Zhu Rong thought about it but did not refuse.
As night fell, Zhang Lang invited Zhu Rong and others in the lobby of the capital. The atmosphere of the banquet was a bit awkward, and Zhu Rong looked worried.
After the banquet, Zhu Rong returned to her bed. Standing at the door, looking at the bright stars and moon in the sky, her face full of confusion. She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong. She sighed, turned around and returned to the room, ready to rest.
At this moment, the melodious music floated in, very beautiful, which Zhu Rong had never heard of before, as if it was blown out with a whistle. Zhu Rong was curious in her heart, and couldn't help but walk in the direction of the sound. She left the yard, walked through a garden, and came to another yard. Standing at the door, she suddenly saw Zhang Lang looking at the bright moon in the sky, whistling in her mouth, her eyes full of melancholy and deep thoughts. The past is constantly present in front of her, and she can't extricate herself.
Zhu Rong was greatly surprised: Why is it him?!
He paused and couldn't help but say in his heart: He seems to be different from the daytime! He seems to be in a lot of worries! What is he thinking?
Zhang Lang felt someone behind him and frowned, "Who is there?"
Zhu Rong was surprised, hesitated for a moment, and walked out. Zhang Lang was quite surprised to see Zhu Rong, "You? Why are you here?"
