Stand on your own side.

"Husband, no matter what, we are facing a powerful enemy. At this moment, you should not think too much. The simplest truth is in front of you. If the stronghold is not protected, what else can we say? We must first ensure the safety of the soldiers and civilians of Dazhai and Luoyan Valley, right? "If the imperial troops capture the stronghold and capture us, they won't be kind to us at all, right?" Gao Muqing said solemnly.

Lin Jue nodded and said: "What Mu Qing said is absolutely true. I just thought about these things. I have to do whatever I need to do about the matter in front of me. As long as the officers and soldiers dare to continue attacking, I will never be soft-hearted. Everything It’s all based on the safety of the mountain stronghold and the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Luoyan Valley. Without these, there is no need to talk about anything.”

Gao Muqing and Bai Bing looked at each other and smiled. They thought that their husband was thinking too much and was going crazy. He would not be willing to continue to brutally attack the officers and soldiers. It seemed to be unfounded worries. The husband was just thinking too much, but he was still very rational. , and did not go crazy.

"Husband, let's go to the village quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Gao Muqing said with a smile.

Lin Jue said: "What are you waiting for me to do? By the way, is there something wrong with you coming to me?"

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue and said solemnly: "Guo Xu sent people up the mountain."

…

The one who went up the mountain was Bai Qi, who had been temporarily appointed as the commander of the army by Guo Xu, taking over the position of the deceased Zhao Yuankang. In the afternoon, Guo Xu convened a meeting with the generals, hoping to find a solution to the current difficult situation. At the meeting, Bai Qi proposed a plan.

Bai Qi's strategy is to go up the mountain to negotiate with the Luoyan Army. Negotiation is just a means, stabilizing the current situation is the real purpose. Because the army's morale is low now, if it attacks the mountain at this time, it will be difficult to succeed, and it will take a period of rest and re-planning. Plan to attack the mountain and restore morale.

Of course, negotiation is not nonsense. If some kind of agreement can be reached with Lin Jue, it may not be impossible to end this siege through negotiation. However, the conditions must be extremely harsh. But it is not impossible.

Bai Qi personally invited Ying to go up the mountain to see Lin Jue. On the one hand, he was a guard general in the border area, and he had no intersection or grudge with Lin Jue. His status would not arouse Lin Jue's resentment. On the other hand, this plan was Bai Qi's plan. If you leave what comes out, it will be more conducive to grasp the sense of proportion.

Guo Xu gave Bai Qi full authority to represent himself, personally sent him to the foot of the mountain, and ordered people to escort him up the mountain. Bai Qi only took a dozen personal guards up the mountain, and made his purpose clear before being attacked. Luoyan Army soldiers took him After being escorted to the village leader's hall, no one could find Lin Jue, so Gao Muqing and Bai Bing came to look for Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was very surprised when he heard the news that Shanxia sent people to negotiate. With Guo Xu's temper, how could he negotiate with him? Could it be that he was really frightened by today's battle? This is also possible. This kind of battle would be a huge blow to the opponent's morale, and Guo Xu might have to reflect on the possibility of capturing Luoyan Valley.

Since he wants to talk, there is no harm in talking about it, but I want to see what kind of tricks Guo Xu is playing.

When Lin Jue returned to Luoyan County Yamen, the situation in the hall was very strange. The generals of the Luoyan Army stared at the person standing at the bottom with angry eyebrows. They were like Vajra Rakshasa. The man standing at the bottom was He was somewhat calm, with no fear on his face. Although this man was dark-skinned, his appearance was not evil. He was of medium stature and had a neatly trimmed beard, giving him a certain air of a Confucian general.

When Lin Jue arrived, all the generals saluted one after another. After Lin Jue returned the salute, he came to the main seat and sat down, looking up at the visitor.
