Peng Cheng insisted on being a general, and he must also have the will of Tang Yin, the king of the wind, Ye Xiang and Yu Ting couldn't be the master, so they could only return in vain and return to Cangping to return to Lu Hao.
After listening to Peng Cheng's conditions, Lu Hao also frowned, he was only the head of a district, and he turned to his side to be a general, it was really a lion's mouth However, the king also explained that the conditions proposed by Peng Cheng will be met as long as they can be met, and they will be won over first, as long as Peng Cheng is lowered, the decision will be in his own hands.
In Lu Hao's opinion, his condition can be agreed, but it is a little difficult to obtain the king's will.
It's not that Tang Yin's side won't make this will, but the delay will be too long, Yancheng is thousands of miles away from Cangping, even if someone is sent to ride a fast horse day and night, it will take more than half a month for Tang Yin's will to reach Cangping, and if it is delayed for so long, whether Peng Cheng's mind will change is two words.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu thought about it again, but he still felt that it was not realistic to ask the king to give an order.
He asked Ye Xiang and Yu Ting whether his defection was true or false through contact with Peng Cheng, and whether the conditions he put forward were sincere or intentionally difficult.
As soon as Ye Xiang and Yu Ting's opinions arrived, they both believed that Peng Cheng's intention to take refuge and the conditions proposed were sincere.
Ye Xiang is a Mo person, and Lu Hao may be suspicious of his words, but Yu Ting is a wind man and his direct subordinate, so his words cannot be false.
Since Ye Xiang and Yu Ting both think that Peng Cheng's surrender is true, then there should be nothing wrong with this matter.
After repeated consideration, Lu Hao decided to take a risk and personally went to Surabaya County to recruit Peng Cheng.
Lu Hao is a wind man, and he is also the confidant minister of the wind king Tang Yin, in a sense, he can represent Tang Yin.
For him to personally go to recruit and surrender, even if there is no Tang Yin's will, it can also show the attitude of the Wind Country on this matter, and he believes that his sincerity will definitely be able to impress Peng Cheng.
Lu Hao did things carelessly, but this time he was still too careless.
Knowing that Lu Hao was going to Surabaya County in person, Fan Shan, the left minister, and Feng Yuandong, the imperial historian, came to persuade him that he should not take risks easily, and it was safest to send others to surrender.
If it was useful to send others, Lu Hao would not have to take risks by himself, he meandered to refuse Fan Shan and Feng Yuandong's kindness, and confidently comforted the two, asking them not to worry about themselves.
To make a long story short, Lu Hao took more than 20 outstanding doormen and guards, disguised himself as a Mozambican businessman, and quietly left Cangping and went to Surabaya County.
But during his trip to Surabaya County, there was chaos on Peng Cheng's side.
It was not that Peng Cheng repented, but that the northwest patrol envoy sent by Shao Fang quietly arrived in Surabaya County.
Surabaya County is an important place in the country of Mozambique, how can it not have the eyeliner of the imperial court Peng Cheng had the intention of defecting to the new Mozambican state, and had frequent contact with the envoys sent by the new Mozambican state, and the news also spread to the Mozambican court.
The matter was very important, and the Mozambican court hurriedly sent a letter to Shao Fang, who was in Zhendi, asking him to decide.
When Shao Fang received this news, he was furious, and immediately wrote back to Zhenjiang, appointing his confidant Wei Bo as the northwest inspection envoy, and went to Surabaya County to investigate whether Peng Cheng had any rebellion.
Wei Bo's background is the same as Ji Wei, who is also Shao Fang's confidant, and he used to be his protégé, but Wei Bo's ability is far above Ji Wei.
This person is scheming, strategic, and seems easy-going on the surface, but in fact, he hides a knife in his smile and hurts people invisibly.
After he arrived in Tongxia, the county seat of Surabaya County, he did not investigate Peng Cheng with great fanfare, he was completely in the style of an official master, living in the county capital, and pulling Peng Cheng to eat, drink, and have fun every day, so that he was negligent in his precautions, and in secret, Wei Bo sent people to secretly investigate Peng Cheng, and at the same time began to take over the command of the Tongxia defenders.
He is an envoy to the northwest, which is equivalent to a messenger sent by the imperial court, and he has a secret order given to him by Shao Fang, so it is too easy to let those non-Peng Cheng's cronies and generals in the defending army obey him.
It can be said that Wei Bo has unknowingly taken over most of the defenders of the county town in his daily eating, drinking and merrymaking, and Peng Cheng is unaware of this matter, and Lu Hao, who is rushing to Tongxia, has no way of knowing.
A few days later, Lu Hao arrived in Tongxia, and after blending into the city, he went straight to the county capital.
When he arrived at the gate of the county capital, he asked the guards at the gate to go in and say that the merchant from the north had asked to see the county chief.
There were a lot of businessmen from the north for a while, and the guards were not surprised, but after listening to it, they didn't take it seriously, and swaggered back to the house to report to Peng Cheng.
At this time, Peng Cheng was drinking and dancing with Wei Bo in the lobby, and suddenly heard that a businessman from the north asked to see him, his heart trembled, and the smile on his face stiffened for a few seconds, and then he smiled at Wei Bo, who was sitting in the upper position: "Lord Wei, the lower official has to leave in advance, and he will go back when he goes."
Wei Bo held the wine glass, looked at him with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Why is there anything else that Master Peng can't let this official know?"
Hearing this, Peng Cheng's face suddenly changed, and before he could answer, Wei Bo laughed on his back again, waved his hand, and said: "This official is just joking, Master Peng, don't take it seriously, if you have something important, hurry up and do it, this official is not a three-year-old child, and he has long passed the age of being accompanied, haha" Hu Pengcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Wei Bo was a wine bag and rice bag, otherwise, it would be dangerous today.
He also laughed, shook his head and said: "Lord Wei is too good at laughing, the lower official will be absent first, and then he will have a good drink with the adult later."
"Okay, okay, okay, go busy with you," Weber gulped down his wine and stared at the dancing girls below.
Peng Cheng sneered in his heart, got up and left the table.
When he got out of the lobby, he immediately ordered his men to bring them to his study, where he waited.
After a short time, Lu Hao took two of his most powerful cronies to the door of the study, and was guided by the subordinates of the county capital to knock on the door.
Peng Cheng in the room looked up and down at Lu Hao who walked in, and felt that his eyes were very angry, he put his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency claims to be a merchant from the north."
"To be precise," Lu Hao smiled and said leisurely: "It's from the north of the country. ” Peng Cheng's heart moved, and it was indeed someone from Shao Jun's side.
He narrowed his eyes, waved his hand at Lu Hao, and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Lu Hao was not polite, picked a random position, and sat down calmly.
Two of his cronies stood on the left and right.
Peng Cheng said: "Last time, the official and Brother Ye and Brother Yu have already made it very clear, presumably, what the official wants, Mr. has already brought."
"Not really."
Lu Hao shook his head with a smile, and said bluntly: "My lord should know very well that Yancheng is thousands of miles away from Cangping, and once you go back, the delay on the road will be close to two months, how can the things that adults want be delivered so quickly?"

Hearing this, Peng Cheng's face immediately sank, and he said coldly: "Since you didn't bring what the official wanted, then you don't have so much time to talk nonsense when you come here, forgive the official for being unaccompanied" As he spoke, he got up to leave.
Now it is not as good as before, because of Wei Bo in the mansion, Peng Cheng also has to take great risks when he meets the people of New Mozambique privately, but the other party regards contact with him as commonplace and does it casually, how can he not be angry in his heart Seeing that he was leaving, Lu Hao raised his hand to stop him, and said quietly: "Lord Peng doesn't have to worry, although I didn't bring what Lord Peng wanted, but coming here is the greatest sincerity of my king to Lord Peng." ” Peng Cheng took back the steps he had already taken, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him again, and looked at it for a while before he asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, Your Excellency is" Lu Hao straightened his body and said word by word: "Scholar of the Wind Country, right prime minister of the Mobei Imperial Court, Lu Hao." ” Hearing the name Lu Hao, Peng Cheng gasped, looked at him with straight eyes, and stood in place, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Of course, he had heard of Lu Hao's name, he was the right minister of the new Mo Kingdom, and at the same time, he was also a bachelor from the first rank in the Wind Country, and the confidant minister next to the Wind King Tang Yin.
Lu Hao was right, although he did not bring the will of the Wind King, his personal arrival could completely show the Wind King's sincerity to him.
I don't know how long it took for Peng Cheng to wake up in shock, he hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Lu Hao, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know it's Lu Da" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang on the door, and someone kicked it open from the outside, and then Weber walked in from the outside under the stars and moon of the guards.
Seeing that Lu Hao and Peng Cheng in the room had a look of horror on their faces, Wei Bo laughed on his back and said: "Who is the person who came to the county capital today, it turned out to be Lord Lu Haolu, the inspector of the northwest of the Moguo country, Wei Bo, who was far away. ” Isn't he drinking Why did he get here At this time, Peng Cheng's head buzzed, and he almost fainted on the spot.
His legs were weak, he sat down on the ground involuntarily, his eyes widened, he looked at Wei Bo in disbelief, and stammered: "Wei, Lord Wei, you must not misunderstand, the lower officials are the lower officials."
He was so incoherent that he couldn't even speak.
Wei Bo walked up to him with a smile, gently helped him up, and said with a pleasant face: "Lord Peng has been wronged, in order to catch the big fish of the enemy country, Lord Peng endured humiliation and burden, and made compromises, which can be called the pillar of our dynasty, and when he returns to Zhenjiang, the official will also report the merits of the adults to the king, and ask the king to reward the lord."
I didn't expect Wei Bo to say this, Peng Cheng was dumbfounded, and after a while he came back to his senses, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Hao, at this time, the latter was also looking at him, his two eyes were almost spewing fire, and the two attendants beside him had also drawn their swords, as if they would pounce on him at any time and tear themselves apart
