Xing Bang said "then" and paused subconsciously, because when he heard that the Sixth Princess had to be sent over first, Liu Li frowned.
However, it is also very reasonable. The fate has not even been decided yet, but you ask someone to give away their daughter. Anyone would have doubts in their heart.
But Xing Bang just said so, so there is no need to be polite!
Xing Bang was not surprised at all. He changed the subject and said seriously, "Why? Father-in-law doesn't want to? Or doesn't trust me?"
If you don't let me finish my words, I really won't believe this.
Hearing this, Liu Li coughed subconsciously, and then said: "This king has absolutely no such intention!"
"Well, son-in-law, go on."
Xing Bang smiled knowingly and said, "I told you so. Can you still run away?"
"What I mean is this. It is impossible for you, the King of Zhenbei, to surrender to the court. Moreover, you cannot surrender to the court.
It is obviously not feasible for me, the son-in-law, to openly surrender to my father-in-law."
"Well, that's the truth!"
Liu Li nodded. This was self-evident. He would definitely not end up well if he surrendered to the court. He would simply be courting death.
Although Xing Bang was a general, the three armies he commanded belonged to the imperial court. How could he be easily shaken and rebel against the imperial court?
Xing Bang continued, "Since this is a conspiracy, we must conceal it from the public."
At this point, Liu Li still looked confused. Naturally, he still didn't understand what this had to do with giving away his daughter first.
"To put it simply, it is a foregone conclusion that the prince will not surrender, but he can choose to feign surrender. Anyway, all three armies know about our meeting, and the prerequisites have been established."
"Hmm? You mean, you want me to use my daughter as a hostage?"
Having said that, Liu Li suddenly understood.
"That's exactly what I mean. Otherwise, how can we give an explanation to the three armies?"
Xing Bang nodded seriously. To be honest, this explanation was really hard to convince others.
However, now is not the time for the lion to ask for too much. It would be more reasonable to make a small opening first.
You can’t laugh, you absolutely can’t laugh!
Liu Li pondered for a moment, with a look of doubt on his face.
"It sounds feasible, but it's the only solution!"
"It's not impossible for me to send my daughter over as a hostage, but how do you plan to explain it to me, my dear son-in-law?"
Liu Li was not stupid at all, and he immediately asked the point.
"It's very simple. I just need to say that my father-in-law is willing to stop fighting and make peace..."
"The generals will certainly question and suspect. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I can still handle this. At least I can keep the troops in place."
"My father-in-law will definitely let his soldiers know your intention of feigning surrender. I believe my father-in-law should be able to prevent the matter from being leaked."
"This should be no problem!"
Liu Li nodded, but he was obviously lacking in confidence.
If there was confidence, if the generals were united and did not care about their lives, there would be no such things, and they would just do it.
Xing Bang naturally knew it well, and then he added: "The general of the front army, Xiong Kuohai, is my confidant. If there is any situation, he will know it first, so nothing will happen."
"Okay, that's good!"
Liu Li no longer had any doubts. He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of Xiong Kuohai's troops. It was also a considerable force.
This is exactly why Xing Bang added this point, which can further deepen Liu Li's determination.
Moreover, it is very believable, because Xiong Kuohai was surrendered by Xing Bang not long ago, so it is normal for him to serve with all his heart.
Then, Xing Bang continued, "Then, father-in-law can take this opportunity to prepare for war. I, your son-in-law, will naturally not be idle either. I will try my best to incite as many rebellions as possible..."
"When the time comes, we can work together inside and outside to accomplish great things!"
Xing Bang had a domineering and confident look on his face. Liu Li saw it, and without giving it too much thought, he calmed himself down and then slapped his thigh.
"Okay, this is a great idea!"
In fact, what Xing Bang didn't know was that Liu Li adopted the same plan from his advisers. The secret letter that the unsuspecting Sixth Princess gave to Xing Bang contained this content.
However, the original plan was to gain the trust of Northern Qi and have the Sixth Princess fight a few battles with the imperial court first. When the situation became critical, the secret letter would be handed over to Xing Bang on the battlefield.
However, there was no intention to send the Sixth Princess to the Xingbang camp. He just wanted to use the Sixth Princess's beauty as bait. Not only could it delay more time, but there might also be unexpected surprises.
That is, Xing Bang coveted the stunningly beautiful Sixth Princess, and then turned against her in the middle of a battle.
It was for this reason that Liu Li agreed to the plan so readily.
Also, it is precisely because of this foundation that doubts arose about the counselors.
So, Liu Li had an idea and took the initiative to go out of the city to meet with Xing Bang.
Liu Li now thinks that Xing Bang's strategy is much stronger than that of that damn strategist, and is also more reliable.
However, although Liu Li was inclined to Xing Bang's side at the moment, he was still making preparations for both situations in his heart.
The one on the Northern Qi side is a son, and the one on the imperial court side is a daughter.
Eventually, one has to be abandoned...
Having said that, things had come to this point, Liu Li naturally had no regrets and could only make up his mind to go forward without hesitation.
Now that it’s settled, the rest will be easy.
Xing Bang was delighted. Regardless of anything else, at least the extremely beautiful Sixth Princess was secured.
"In that case, my father-in-law, let's go back and prepare."
Liu Li nodded, "Then, as a good son-in-law, when will I send the person over?"
Xing Bang didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Of course the sooner the better."
This is not the time to show off. The more anxious Liu Li is, the more at ease he feels.
It is true.
Liu Li nodded immediately and said, "In that case, I think it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. I will go back and make some preparations and then send the person to you."
"It's just that during this special period, I'm afraid I'll have to put up with you, my dear son-in-law. I can only wait until the future, and I'll give you a grand wedding."
"I am very touched by your thoughtfulness, father-in-law. In this special period, I don't care about this. The more important thing is the more important thing!"
Xing Bang wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart. He really took it seriously and even wanted to bring a dowry?
Don't be picky, just show up.
After all, they are all mine, isn’t it better?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Liu Li was being hypocritical or testing the waters.
It doesn't matter. It's basically impossible to find out anything from Xing Bang anyway.
There won't be any mistakes in his words and actions, it couldn't be more genuine.
I want your daughter from the bottom of my heart!
Afterwards, the two of them didn't say anything more and rode their horses back to their respective formations.
When Liu Li went back to explain, it was not difficult to imagine that the Sixth Princess would never have expected that she would be sent directly to the enemy camp.
Xing Bang was naturally very happy as he was going to be the groom that night.
By the way, aren't you happy?
