It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

"General, I will go up and talk to them. If the other party is willing to give up Yuzhou, this mutual slaughter can be avoided." Lu Feng said.

"Okay..." Lu Xingchen nodded.

Both sides have been standing here for about two quarters of an hour, neither moving.

The enemy's lineup and the morale of the soldiers were clearly known.

If this battle really breaks out, neither side will gain any advantage, and in the end the fisherman will benefit, and Yuzhou will be safe.

It can be seen that neither side wants to fight this battle.

Lu Feng rode his horse forward.

"Young Master, some people have come out. They must be here to negotiate. I'll go talk to them." Huang Shan said.

Murong Feihe nodded and said, "Then go ahead, but be careful if they are willing to give up Yuzhou."

"We don't have to fight this battle."

Huang Shan nodded in agreement.

Lu Feng and Huang Shan came to the middle of the two sides' positions.

"My name is Lu Feng, the Sima of Jizhou and Yongzhou Army." Lu Feng said.

"My name is Huang Shan," Huang Shan also saluted with his fists, "General of the Yanzhou Army..."

"What our commander-in-chief means is that you withdraw your attack on Yuzhou. We will not interfere with each other." Lu Feng said.

"Our eldest young master has the same idea." Huang Shan said.

"If we fight a battle here, both sides will surely suffer losses, and Yuzhou will be the winner in the end."

Lu Feng continued, "So, it would be better if you give Yuzhou to us."

Huang Shan showed an honest smile on his face, "Everything you said is what I wanted to say to you."

"Do you think we are in sync?"

"If we go to war again, we have the clear advantage in numbers, and you will be the ones who suffer in the end," Lu Feng continued.

"Even though we have fewer people, our cavalry is obviously stronger than yours. This is a plain, so we have the advantage," said Huang Shan.

Seeing that the other party was not so easily persuaded to retreat, Lu Feng continued, "If you withdraw from the battlefield today and give Yuzhou to us, I will retreat if we meet on the battlefield in the future..."

Huang Shan raised his lips into a smile, thinking that Lu Feng was quite smart, a master negotiator, and not impatient.

No wonder Lu Xingchen and his people developed from a small county to the territory of two states in less than a year.

"It's just an empty promise. Who believes in these empty words now?"

Seeing that Huang Shan had no intention of backing down, Lu Feng had no choice but to salute with his fists, turned his horse around, and ran back to his own position.

Lu Feng shook his head at Lu Xingchen, meaning that the negotiations broke down.

"General, let me take the lead. On the battlefield, swords and guns are the only thing that matters. Words are useless." Zhang Fan was eager to try.

"General, the enemy's troops are in good order and have not moved for such a long time. Their morale is high. They are not the same troops we encountered before. We must not underestimate the enemy." Pei Jun reminded behind him.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"Then Zhang Fan, you go out first. It's a one-on-one fight, best of three. Whoever wins will go to attack Yuzhou." Lu Xingchen said.

"I'll go right away." Zhang Fan was extremely excited. He didn't expect that Lu Xingchen would agree to let him take the lead.

"Wait a moment." Lu Xingchen called out again.

Zhang Fan reined in his horse and looked back at Lu Xingchen.

"Forget it, be careful." Lu Xingchen waved his hand.

Zhang Fan nodded heavily in response, rode his horse forward and arrived at the position.

Huang Shan returned to his own position and told Murong Feihe the details.

"Master, the other party came out to negotiate. This person is very smart, not stupid. Look at their army formation. It has not moved for such a long time. The military discipline is strict..."

"If we fight, we will pay a heavy price even if we win," Huang Shan warned.

This time, Murong Feihe brought the most elite troops in the army.

It was not easy to train this team and it took a lot of effort and time.

"Young Master, another one of them has come out." Wang Mao said.

Wang Mao is Murong Nan's other adopted son.

"I'm going to meet him this time." Wang Mao said, riding his horse forward.

At this time, Zhang Fan had already arrived in front of Murong Feihe's formation.

He raised the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Murong boy, our commander-in-chief said that both sides would suffer losses if a war broke out, and it's not worth it..."

"We'll win two out of three, and the main player will play."

"The losing party will give up Yuzhou."

"Just tell me if you dare to fight me?"

Murong Feihe looked towards Huangshan, his eyes seemed to be asking, this is what you said was very strategic.

"Master, this might be a hammer." Huang Shan said a little embarrassedly.

"Let me fight him." Wang Mao raised the spear in his hand.

Murong Feihe nodded, this was also the best way.

He also didn't want to spend all his wealth on Yuzhou.

Wang Mao received Murong Feihe's order and rode forward.

"Kid, what's your name? I won't kill nameless people with my sword." Seeing that the opponent's main general had come out to fight, Zhang Fan shook the sword in his hand, making a loud buzzing sound.

"Just talk about it after you hurt me, stop bragging." Wang Mao rode his horse and rushed forward without introducing his name.

He held the spear in his hand and thrust it straight into Zhang Fan's face.

Zhang Fan didn't expect the other party to be so unsportsmanlike and start a fight before even announcing their names. It was so lacking in public morality.

He raised the sword in his hand to fight, not daring to be negligent at all.

He has suffered several times due to his carelessness, and now he has become more meticulous.

The two sides started fighting, and the fight was back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty rounds had passed.

Wang Mao's strength is not as good as Zhang Fan's, but his skills are more flexible and his kung fu is also great.

The most important thing is that Wang Mao's horse is better than Zhang Fan's horse.

The two sides were in a stalemate, going back and forth for more than a dozen rounds.

Zhang Fan felt that it was not a good idea to continue fighting like this, because his fighting style was very physically demanding.

So he made a feint with his sword, trying to use the same evasive sword tactic as last time.

Unfortunately, his flaws were too obvious.

Wang Mao was not stupid at all. He immediately pressed down his sword with his spear, then flew over and kicked Zhang Fan off his horse.

Zhang Fan didn't expect that he would be in such a miserable state. He rolled on the ground twice and drew his sword to block Wang Mao's attack.

Wang Mao's spear flashed and cut off Zhang Fan's helmet.

"Your swordsmanship is too crude. Go back and practice for a few more years." Wang Mao's tone was gentle, but extremely insulting.

Zhang Fan was so angry that he stamped his feet.

But Wang Mao had no intention of taking his life.

Lu Xingchen rode out to fight.

Seeing that the enemy's main general was going into battle, Murong Feihe could not be negligent and urged his maroon horse to come to the front of the formation.

"General, I..." Zhang Fan's face was full of anger and guilt.

"Go ahead. It's normal to lose on the battlefield. You are no match for him." Lu Xingchen said slowly.

Zhang Fan jumped onto his horse and returned to his position in a panic.

Lu Xingchen held a spear in his hand, looking heroic. The red tassel on the spear danced up and down with the wind, and his whole body exuded a fierce heroic spirit.

Murong Feihe urged his horse forward and came to the opposite side of Lu Xingchen with the 10-foot-long spear in his hand.

When he saw Lu Xingchen, he couldn't take his eyes away.

He thought this was a woman who was very capable. In his mind, Lu Xingchen should be a big, strong man with a tall stature.

But he never expected that the woman in front of him was pretty, with fair cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although she exuded a heroic spirit, she could not hide her charming daughter's demeanor.
