And along the way, thousands of soldiers were trampled and pushed to death.

It was not until dawn the next day that the battle between the two sides gradually came to an end.

And in this battle.

The total number of casualties in the Ping'an Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan coalition forces totaled more than 3000.

As for Cai Jing's headquarters, after a night of fighting, there were more than 4 casualties.

Except for the more than 3 people who were killed by those steel chariots and the coalition soldiers.

The remaining thousands died at the hands of their own people.

When Cai Jing returned to the Taishi Mansion, he looked at the battle report presented by his generals.

In my heart, I was really helpless.

But what he was even more anxious about was that with the battlefield situation in front of him, if he could put all his troops on the battlefield like yesterday, he would have a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

Then it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to win with the support of five steel monsters.

But if we continue to engage in street fighting with the enemy in Tokyo like before.

Then it won't be long before the entire city of Tokyo will be crippled.

By then, a whole city was left with broken walls and corpses strewn across the land.

No matter which side you look at, they are extremely unwilling.

Cai Jing hardly left the house during this day.

I just stayed in the government office, thinking about various strategies to defeat the enemy.

Towards evening, his son-in-law Liang Zhongshu and another loyal subordinate Jia Jingzhong came here to look for him.

When the two of them heard about such difficulties from Cai Jing's mouth.

I couldn't help but frown, and started thinking about this.

These three people were in the reception room of Cai Jing's mansion.

While drinking tea, he planned the next strategy to defeat the enemy.

It wasn't until midnight that day that Jia Jingzhong thought of a better way.

And when Jia Jingzhong slowly revealed the method he had in mind to Cai Jing and Liang Zhongshu sitting next to him, the two people immediately came and cheered.

So it was decided that early tomorrow morning, we would go to Ping'an Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan Allied Forces to send out invitations.

After getting along with each other for nearly two days, Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others knew Zhao Ji's true identity.

I couldn't help but feel like the waves were raging in my heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Zhao Ji, of course, fully agreed with Liangshan's intention to recruit people.

And he also gave high praise to the entire Shuibo Liangshan team.

This is great news for Wu Yong, Song Jiang and others who have been eager to be recruited from the beginning to the end.

In this way, Zhao Ji essentially became the leader of Ping An Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan Liang Army.

This morning.

Just as Zhao Ji, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Song Jiang and others were discussing strategies to defeat the enemy in the temporary conference hall.

A minion suddenly came in from outside the tent and presented an invitation letter.

Regarding this, not only Zhao Ji, who was sitting in the main seat, was quite puzzled, but Wu Yong, Song Jiang and others sitting on the side were also very curious.

After Wu Yong took the letter from the soldier, he handed it over to Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Ji hurriedly read the above content, he couldn't help but frowned rather strangely:

"That old fox Cai Jing, what kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd?"

"You actually want to ask me to go to his camp to discuss the exchange of prisoners."

"After all, with him, whether it is our famous Song Dynasty general Zhong Shidao, the two Zhongshi brothers, or the upright and virtuous minister Su Yuanjing and others, they are all firmly in his hands at this moment."

"So, he wanted to use those people as hostages to negotiate some terms with us on his territory."

"If we don't agree, then Cai Jing will behead all the civil and military officials, leaving no one alive."

"This method is really fierce and tight!"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Song Jiang, who was sitting on the right, stood up and wanted to salute Zhao Ji.

But when Zhao Ji saw this, he quickly waved his hand:

"Chief Song, don't be so polite."

"This place is not the Jinluan Palace, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Whatever is on your mind, just say it."

Song Jiang nodded happily:

"Guan Jia, I'm afraid it's really hard to agree to this matter right now."

"If your guess is correct, this time it must be the Hongmen Banquet organized by Cai Jing."

"Anyone who goes to negotiate will, in all likelihood, be unlikely to come back."

Zhao Ji sighed deeply with helplessness on his face:

"If that's the case, so what?"

"Since I am an official of the Song Dynasty, I am the master of all the officials."

"Then at this moment, how can we ignore those pillars of the country?"

"Is it possible that we have to do this and watch those ministers being beheaded by Cai Jing in public?"

Zhao Ji's words could not help but render Song Jiang speechless.

Just as everyone in the big tent was in deep thought.

Wu Yong, who had a rather flexible mind, suddenly said:

"I must go to Cai Jingzhi's invitation this time."

"But who to send and what happens after they go are really worthy of careful discussion by all of us."

Wu Yong slowly stroked the three strands of long beard on his chin, and after pondering for a moment:

"Officials, but I don't know if Cai Jing can clearly state in the letter how many people we can send to the appointment?"

Zhao Ji said meaningfully:

"Three."

Wu Yong slowly waved the feather fan in his hand:

"If you want me to make arrangements, the only three people who can go are myself, General Hu Yan, and Yan Qing."

"Although I don't know martial arts, I think that with my sharp tongue and sharp teeth, I can still play a certain role when the two sides are at war with each other."

"As for General Huyan, this general is one of the most powerful generals in our army, and he is also a loyal and courageous person."

"Although Yan Qing is inferior in martial arts compared to General Hu Yan."

"But his crossbow skills are among the best in the military camp, and his mind is flexible enough."

“Bringing this person along is also a great help.”

When Zhao Ji heard Wu Yong mention Yan Qing, he couldn't help but think of Lu Junyi, who had suffered serious arrow injuries on the battlefield before.

Officer Lu, who had just been hit by four or five arrows, was recovering from his injuries in the camp, but he didn't know the condition of his injuries.

While Zhao Ji was worried, he called a soldier from the side and asked him to go to Lu Junyi's resting place to see how Lu Junyi was recovering from his injuries.

But when the soldier returned, he said that although at this moment, Na Lu had already woken up.

But the arrow wounds on his body were burned by the fire.

At least for more than ten days, it was impossible to get out of bed.

In this regard, Zhao Ji felt very helpless.
