After Mu Jingrui arrived at the border, he quickly rectified the team. Many soldiers had heard of this young general, and their morale suddenly increased a lot.

According to the original idea, the court still adopted the strategy of first ritual and then military forces.

Liu Zhende only brought a few hundred people into the other party's camp to negotiate negotiations.

Mu Jingrui wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible, so he pretended to be Liu Zhende's entourage and went there together.

They met the Xixia general Li Binhao.

I heard that this person is the younger brother of the new emperor of Xixia. The two are both mothers and have a very deep relationship.

"General Li, for the first time we met, my pilgrimage prepared a meeting gift for you." Liu Zhende made a gesture, and Mu Jingrui walked to Li Binhao with the brocade box in his hand and opened it.

Inside is a long sword inlaid with gems, cutting iron like mud, priceless.

"This is a gift from our emperor, please accept it with a smile."

Li Binhao just glanced lightly, raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.

"The Central Plains is indeed a prosperous country. Anything that can be used is a treasure that is difficult to find in the world."

Mu Jingrui did not say anything, put down the brocade box and pushed it back to Liu Zhende.

"Li Jianjun, Xixia and our dynasty have always lived in peace and have never had any disputes in the past century. This time... you suddenly attacked with troops, and I don't know why?"

Li Binhao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank three glasses slowly.

"The Grand Tutor should know that before my elder brother ascended the throne, Xixia had been in civil strife for nearly ten years."

Liu Zhende refused to comment and waited for Li Binhao's following.

"Now, my emperor's kingship is the time to let the people recuperate, but... the Central Plains court does not seem to have the intention."

Liu Zhende was secretly surprised and turned around inadvertently glanced at Mu Jingrui.

"Just a while ago, your guards suddenly attacked our border, causing thousands of our soldiers to be killed. This kind of despicable means of sneak attacks are disgusting."

It was only now that Liu Zhende realized that it was theirs to do it first.

However, the court’s memorials have never said that.

"General Li, are there any misunderstandings?"

"No misunderstanding, this is the fact."

"If our dynasty was the leader, he would have been killed now. General Li, in order to avoid greater war, can he accept peace talks? Our dynasty has the sincerity to truce."

"Yes. If you want to quit, you will ask the court to send 8 million silver vehicles, 500,000 taels of gold, and five cities on the border. As long as all these things are in place, I will withdraw my troops immediately."

Liu Zhende frowned slightly and felt embarrassed. The court would not agree to the city proposed by Li Binhao; and finance has been the tax revenue of the treasury for a whole year.

At this time, Mu Jingrui pressed Liu Zhende's shoulder calmly.

Liu Zhende came to his senses.

There is no need to talk about this matter.

"General Li, we cannot accept the conditions you have put forward. Both sides will be hurt by wars. I hope you will think twice."

Liu Zhende stood up, bowed and said, "I will give you three days to consider. If you still haven't withdrawn your troops after three days, then I will not show you the 100,000 troops to show you. Goodbye."

Liu Zhende was not afraid at all, and took people out without being humble or arrogant.

Suddenly, he felt his scalp numb, and Mu Jingrui pushed him away, and he staggered a few people who followed him to support him.

In the flash of lightning, Mu Jingrui and Li Binhao had already faced each other.

The two of them took two steps back and looked at each other intently.

After a long time, Li Binhao chuckled. "I knew you were not an ordinary person."

From the moment Mu Jingrui walked into the military tent, Li Binhao began to pay attention to him.

His behavior and demeanor were not like followers at all. Moreover, during their conversation, Liu Zhende subconsciously went to see him.

Li Binhao even felt that this young guy was the dominant one among this group of people.

"It doesn't matter whether I am an ordinary person. What's important is whether General Li wants to break the rules and kill him." Mu Jingrui calmly retracted his skills and stood in front of Liu Zhende.

Liu Zhende was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up straight after tidying up his clothes.

He wants to maintain the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom.

"Don't worry, I don't know. Even if you want to kill you, you will be on the battlefield." Li Binhao made a gesture, "Please."

Mu Jingrui didn't say much, and helped Liu Zhende and left.

After they returned to their camp, Mu Jingrui immediately summoned the deputy general who was originally stationed here and asked, "Who did it?"

Mu Jingrui felt that at this moment, he was like being questioning his naughty child and the dispute with his neighbors.

Seeing that the deputy general could not hide it, he had to tell the truth.

"It was indeed General Zhou who led the troops first."

"Why did General Zhou do this?"

"I don't know either, and there was almost no sign before."

"Then why do you hide the facts from your memorial to the court?"

"General Mu," the deputy general knelt down, crawled on the ground and trembled all over, "I dare not say it. General Zhou is dead...but... I will be beheaded if I don't do this. Death, I am the one who is in charge of the head.

I am not afraid of being involved in my family, so please let General Mu observe clearly.”

Mu Jingrui's face darkened, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"General Mu, it seems that this matter is difficult to be good." After careful consideration, Liu Zhende also recalled the process of contacting Li Binhao today.

"It doesn't make sense who took the action first, and then pursued it. If they refused to give up, we had to face the challenge. They didn't have to report those conditions to the court. The emperor could not agree."

Mu Jingrui also agreed with Liu Zhende's statement.

"As a result, I had to start the fight."

"General Mu, I will write a memorial to report this matter to the emperor truthfully. You can arrange the arrangement of troops and formations with peace of mind. I will investigate the inside story of General Zhou's sudden attack on Xixia for no reason." Liu Zhende always felt that they didn't know

The secret of

"Okay, come here!"

"Subordinate is here."

"Send orders to rectify military affairs, and wait for my orders to set off at any time to recover lost territory."

"yes."

The vanguard generals retreated, and Liu Zhende also returned to his military tent to rest.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Mu Jingrui sat at the desk and stared blankly at the last letter from Shangguan Wanning.

The letter said that she accompanied Zheng Guoxun back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and after that... there was no news again.

For some reason, Mu Jingrui felt inexplicably worried.

If something happens to her and he is not by her side...

Mu Jingrui sighed heavily and picked up his pen to write a letter to Shangguan Wanning, but after writing it, he didn't know where to send it.
