(Easter egg at the end of the chapter, the latest map situation of Beidi County!)
December 27th, Beidi County, Bei'an Prefecture.
Luo Lun has been ill for three days, which made many people in Bei'an Mansion anxious, especially those in charge of Dusi Yamen.
"My lord, my lord... Lord Luo is getting up!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shili, who was checking the inventory in the granary, immediately dropped what he was doing.
When he turned around, the messenger rushed to Liu Shili, bowed and reported: "Master Qi, Master Luo's illness has recovered, and he said that we can discuss matters this afternoon!"
"I know, you go back and inform Yan Qian to prepare!"
"Sir, Master Luo said that in addition to the people from Longwei Mansion, he also hopes to see people from the Forbidden Army this afternoon!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shili was filled with doubts.
It was obviously a meeting between two parties, so why did Luo Lun want people from the Forbidden Army to be present? Could it be that they were also talking to the Forbidden Army?
Even if they want to talk, the Forbidden Army should talk to them. After all, Prince Yong's Mansion now has an advantage over the Forbidden Army.
The advantage Liu Shili knew actually referred to the Yong Army's military operations in the north in recent days.
After receiving Luo Lun's order, Fang Sheng of Pingshan Prefecture launched an attack on the imperial troops in Hongxi County, causing the latter to suffer miserably.
The large number of imperial troops gathered in Hongxi County had to retreat in order to reduce the supply pressure, which can be said to be disgraced.
However, Luo Lun did not disclose the situation in Longyou to the outside world, and it was impossible for the Forbidden Army to take the initiative to say this, so Liu Shili did not know the situation yet.
"Okay... you go back and let Dusi prepare!"
No matter what Luo Lun's request is, Liu Shili will agree to it. Now he is a little anxious.
The fragility of the Forbidden Army made him realize that Prince Yong's Mansion was his big leg. Now it was natural to unite with them, at least not to allow Yong's army to attack his own side.
Of course, it would be better if we could get some food from Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Yes!" The messenger sergeant left immediately.
Liu Shili stayed in the warehouse for a while and hurried back to Dusi Yamen. He decided to participate in this negotiation personally.
Soon, the news of the resumption of negotiations was announced.
Wang Cheng'an was a little anxious after hearing the news. Now he knows very well what Longyou is, so he knows that today's negotiation will not be easy.
But he had to go, after all, he was sent to Bei'an Mansion specifically to take charge of this matter.
On the contrary, when the foreign security mission learned that the palace had started negotiations, they were very happy.
Especially the leading officer Ding Hong, he and his sergeants thought about returning to Longyou day and night.
Because all the soldiers under Ding Hong came from Longyou, Ding Hong himself was the commander of the Longyou Capital Division and Chen Anming's immediate boss.
After learning from Zhang Ziming that Prince Yong's Mansion was willing to support the various governors with grain, Ding Hong was the one who responded most actively.
In fact, the soldiers from the field guards gathered in Longwei Mansion and Fengsui Mansion were all looking forward to cooperating with Prince Yong's Mansion. After all, they did not have much food reserves.
Time gradually passed, and when the agreed time for negotiation came, all three parties in the North arrived early.
From this point alone, it can be seen that the situation has changed, and Prince Yong's Mansion has an advantage in facing the three sides of the north.
After everyone waited for more than ten minutes, a carriage slowly arrived outside the Beidi Dusi Yamen.
The carriage stopped and Laurent stepped out of the carriage.
Looking up at the plaque of the Beidi Dusi, Laurent smiled and then got off the carriage.
"Lord Luo, you're finally here..." Yan Jianzhang came out from the Yamen to welcome him.
Looking at Yan Jianzhang, Luo Lun cupped his hands and said, "I've kept you waiting for so long..."
As for why everyone was kept waiting, Luo Lun had no intention of explaining.
Yan Jianzhang didn't take it seriously and took Luo Lun into the Yamen.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the hall where the negotiations were taking place, where four tables had been set up.
Taking a small bag from the guard, Lauren walked into the hall.
"Master Luo, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" Ding Hong spoke first.
Liu Shili was also in the hall at this moment. Although he was also very active in the negotiations, he did not speak at this moment.
After nodding to Ding Hong, Luo Lun came to Wang Chengan and picked up the cloth bag in his hand.
"His Highness asked me to give this to you!"
After saying that, Luo Lun threw the cloth bag in front of Wang Chengan, who was completely confused at the moment.
Before Luo Lun could sit back, he heard Liu Shili ask: "Master Luo...are the things given to His Highness King Yong to Wang Qianhu or to the Forbidden Army?"
"Of course it's for the Imperial Army!" Laurent said with a smile.
"I wonder what kind of treasure it is?" Ding Hong asked.
Sitting in his seat, Luo Lun said calmly: "It's not protection, it's just three waist cards!"
Ding Hong then asked: "What waist card?"
"You don't know yet?" Laurent showed a surprised expression.
Ding Hong replied: "Please ask Mr. Luo to help us clear up our doubts!"
Picking up the cup on the table, Luo Lun glanced at Wang Cheng'an next to him, and then said: "Is it possible that you don't know about the defeat of the three guards of the Forbidden Army in their southern invasion?"
In fact, except for Wang Chengan, no one else at the scene really knew.
Because of the zombie barrier, it is basically difficult for them to get updates on news south of the river.
"The Forbidden Army was defeated?"
Luo Lun replied calmly: "We were defeated after only two days of fighting. The three guards of the Forbidden Army were wiped out. What was in the cloth bag...were the waist badges of the three commanders!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and their evaluation of Yong Jun was much higher.
But Liu Shili still didn't want to believe it, so he asked: "Wang Qianhu... is what Mr. Luo said the truth?"
Before Wang Cheng'an could speak, Luo Lun said: "Everyone... you can tell when you open that cloth bag and look at it? This thing cannot be fake!"
The waist badge is made of fine iron and has been damaged by the years since the Chinese New Year. In this era, there is no way to fake it.
Ding Hong stood up and came directly to Wang Chengan, grabbing the cloth bag on the table.
Wang Chengan, with quick hands and quick eyes, quickly took the package in his hand, and heard the sound of iron pieces banging inside.
"Hahaha……"
Luo Lun laughed. There was no need to see the belt card at this moment, which actually explained the problem.
"Two... Your Highness's errand has been completed. It seems that Wang Qianhu should not be sitting here anymore!"
All three guards of the Forbidden Army were defeated, and Yong's army was invincible. Now that the army was stationed in Pingshan Mansion, Liu Shili felt like a light on his back.
"Wang Qianhu...you go back first!"
"Director Liu..."
Liu Shili said solemnly: "There is no place for you here, go back!"
Wang Chengan deserves to leave in humiliation, and the humiliation Luo Lun gave him today will be remembered for the rest of his life.
After Wang Chengan left, Luo Lun said: "You two, Xu Longsheng of the imperial army, Heart of the Jackal, sent three guards and horses to invade Longyou, and Your Highness just beat them hard..."
"If he had not been forced to do so, His Highness would not have taken up arms. Both of you are loyal ministers of the court, so they will not embarrass His Highness!"
Just listen to Ding Hong's reply: "We will definitely be loyal to the court and live in harmony with His Highness!"
The out-of-town guardsmen have no intention of winning, they just want to survive.
As long as they can live by being loyal ministers, that's all they can do.
Then Liu Shili said: "Master Luo, let's discuss business first, about food..."
Food is the most important thing, and this is what Lauren was talking about originally.
"This matter is complicated and needs to be considered in the long term..."
Luo Lun continued: "Today we will discuss the first item. How much food is appropriate to transport every month? You guys should mention the amount first!"
