Chapter 209: Negotiations with the Enemy
When Yu Gongyu heard this, he was overwhelmed with joy. It must be Brother Ren who had arrived. At this critical moment, he subconsciously thought that Ren Jingzhi had arrived at the critical moment.
After all, he is in a dilemma at the moment, and Ren Jingzhi's arrival may bring a glimmer of hope to this chaotic situation.
However, in a flash, he calmed down again, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart. He thought carefully that it was impossible for Ren Jingzhi to be accompanied by so many people, and based on Ren Jingzhi's style of doing things, if he really came, he would definitely send someone to inform his identity first. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get nervous again.
Yu Gongyu frowned slightly and asked anxiously, "Did the person here tell me their identity? Can you see their faces clearly?"
Chen Yi bowed his head slightly and answered respectfully: "The person who came here has not announced his identity yet, and it is still dark, so I can't see clearly."
Yu Gongyu's face became more solemn. He slowly stood up, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I'll go take a look."
After that, he took firm steps and walked towards the city gate. He was full of vigilance, wondering whether these 100 people who suddenly appeared were enemies or friends, and what changes they would bring to this precarious situation.
After Yu Gongyu came out of the tent, he walked towards the tower in a hurried but steady manner. Along the way, his mind was in a mess, full of anticipation and nervousness. The soldiers beside him followed respectfully, not daring to make a sound.
Soon, Yu Gongyu arrived at the tower. He held the wall with his hands, leaned forward slightly, and cast an anxious look at the one hundred people downstairs. At this time, the night was deep, and only sparse stars twinkled in the inky sky.
The people downstairs all stood tall and motionless on their horses. Their faces were serious and resolute, and their eyes revealed courage and determination. It was obvious that they were a well-trained team. They stood quietly, as if waiting for something.
Yu Gongyu looked carefully, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the leader. The man was tall and had an extraordinary temperament. Yu Gongyu recognized him at a glance, and it was the brother Ren he had been waiting for.
Yu Gongyu's face turned red with excitement. He waved his arms vigorously and shouted to the people below the city wall: "Brother Ren, is that you?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes flashed with joy, as if that light could dispel all the haze.
Downstairs, Ren Jingzhi heard the shout, looked up, and saw Yu Gongyu's familiar figure. He smiled slightly and responded loudly: "Sixth Prince, it's me!"
Ugong Yu was so excited that he hurriedly asked someone to open the city gate. As the city gate slowly opened, Ugong Yu couldn't wait to rush down the tower.
Ren Jingzhi also dismounted and walked quickly to meet him. The two met at the city gate. Yu Gongyu tightly held Ren Jingzhi's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Ren, you are finally here! I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Ren Jingzhi also held Yu Gongyu's hand tightly and said calmly: "Sixth Prince, don't worry, we will deal with this predicament together."
Their eyes met, and they saw determination and confidence in each other's eyes. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down, with only the tacit understanding between them flowing.
After a burst of excitement, Yu Gongyu looked at Ren Jingzhi seriously. "Brother Ren, have your injuries healed? You have traveled day and night, it must be hard work."
"My injury is fine now." Ren Jingzhi comforted him.
"Brother Ren, let's go into the camp and talk in detail." After that, Yu Gongyu ordered Chen Yi, "Prepare breakfast immediately. Brother Ren and the soldiers have been traveling day and night, so they must be hungry."
Chen Yi took the order and left.
Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu walked into the tent together, and the atmosphere instantly became serious.
Yu Gongyu spoke first, his expression solemn: "Brother Ren, I just received news that General Li stationed at the border was captured by the enemy while leading the people to flee. The enemy asked me to negotiate tonight, and I am in a dilemma about this matter and don't know what to do."
Ren Jingzhi frowned slightly, his eyes showing a solemn look. After thinking for a moment, he said, "According to the current situation, I plan to pretend to be you and go to negotiate. I have fought with the Western Region Army before, and I have a certain understanding of the enemy's situation. This may help us find a way to break the deadlock and gain a chance of survival."
After hearing this, Yu Gongyu's heart tightened and he subconsciously objected: "Brother Ren, this plan is too dangerous. If the enemy discovers it, you will be in great danger. I can't let you take this risk." His eyes were full of worry and his hands were trembling slightly.
Ren Jingzhi shook his head slightly, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "The situation is critical now, we can't just sit there and wait for death. I am confident that I can deal with any possible situation. If I can successfully delay time and buy us more opportunities to prepare, it will be worth it."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Sixth Prince, let's act according to this plan. I will pretend to be you and go to negotiate, and you will create chaos under the city wall. Taking advantage of the chaos, you will lead a thousand elite soldiers to sneak into the enemy from another direction.
I understand that the enemy is not united, and their food storage is not impregnable. If my negotiations fail, you can just burn their food and then rescue us. Although it is risky, it is the only way to break the deadlock at present. "
Yu Gongyu frowned, his heart full of worry, but he also knew that there was no other way at this time. He nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Ren, you must be careful. I will arrange everything to ensure that the plan goes smoothly."
At this moment, Chen Yi entered the tent with breakfast and said softly, "Prince Jing, General Yu, breakfast is ready."
Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, then called Ren Jingzhi: "Brother Ren, come, have a meal first. Although the situation is tense, we can't ignore our health. Only when you are full will you have the strength to complete the plan."
Ren Jingzhi looked at Yu Gongyu and nodded, and the two sat down in front of the low table in the tent. Chen Yi arranged the breakfast one by one, including steaming buns, fragrant porridge, and a few simple side dishes.
Yu Gongyu picked up a steamed bun, handed it to Ren Jingzhi, and said, "Brother Ren, you have worked hard along the way. Now that you are here, I feel much more at ease." His eyes were full of gratitude and relief.
Ren Jingzhi took the steamed bun and said in a deep voice: "We should work together to overcome the difficulties."
While eating breakfast, they continued to think about their next actions, but the worries in their hearts did not diminish at all because of this moment of peace.
After breakfast, Ren Jingzhi changed into Yu Gongyu's clothes, dressed up carefully, and walked towards the enemy camp with a few followers.
Umiyadama stayed in the city and began to plan to create chaos. He was filled with tension and anticipation, wondering if this plan would succeed.
Soon after, Ren Jingzhi arrived at the enemy camp and began to negotiate with the enemy generals.
The enemy's camp was instantly lit up by Ren Jingzhi's arrival, as bright as day. The bright light cut through the darkness of the night, as if announcing the arrival of a tense situation.
General Bai Yu sat in the main seat, his eyes filled with arrogance and scrutiny. He raised his chin slightly, as if to announce to the whole world that his authority was inviolable.
Bai Yuhao's gaze slowly fell on "Umiya Yu" with inquiry and estimation.
