Squeezed Zhao Zhong, the eunuch, away, Yao Wenjin enjoyed this charming song and dance with more leisure, and also listened to Dong Chou, the prince of Wuwei, and Tu Que, the Taiwei Lieutenant, whispering about the military situation in the north on the side.
"Before Taiwei entered the city, Dong Chou had just received news that Chen Hai led the Longxiang battalion to win another victory at the mouth of the Tong River!" Dong Chou said this, his expression was a little complicated.
Although Tu Que was on the way, he could also get the latest news of the counties through the Di Bao at any time, and when he met Wu En in Tianshui County before, he also knew that after Chen Hai led his troops to win a great victory on the northern line of Hengshan, he was not reconciled, and led his troops out of the Hengshan defense line for more than 1,000 miles, and went deep into the Yucheng Ridge line to fight with the barbarian soldiers, but he did not expect that he had just arrived in Hechuan City, and heard the news that he had won another great victory.
Hearing this news at this time, Tu Que was a little surprised, pondered for a while, frowned and asked, "What is the result of the battle, and how is the battle damage?"
"A total of more than 20,000 demons and barbarians were killed, more than 4,000 prisoners, and fourteen tribal battle flags were captured. The casualties of the Long Xiang army were less than 5,000, and the reinforced Tianshui soldiers had always been weak, with more than half of the casualties - but for Tianshui County, it was also a rare victory for decades, and I heard that some people in Tianshui County called Chen Hai the Marquis of Tianji. Dong Chou replied.
The foreign surname is not crowned as the king, the marquis is divided into the fourth class of the county and county, only the county marquis can be called the god marquis, Chen Hai is just the pavilion marquis, and others call him the god marquis, which is beyond the rules.
Of course, at this time, Wang Fa did not come out of Yanjing, Hexi and Hechuan were like this, and the emperor could only send envoys to mediate.
Yao Wenjin heard what Dong Chou and Tu Que were discussing, but his concentration seemed to be on the dancing girl with clear eyes and white skin, and he had no interest in participating in the discussion of Tianshui County's victory; Tu Que tapped his index finger on the table slightly, thinking in his heart, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything, and finally just turned into a long sigh.
Tu Que has lived in the temple for a long time, except for the Zhubian Mansion reports and frequent urgent letters, he has not seen the power of the demon barbarian Koubian with his own eyes for many years, but he can also know what far-reaching impact Chen Hai led the Longxiang battalion to inflict heavy losses on the demon barbarians in the north of Tianshui County, which has been weak for a hundred years.
Chen Hai and the Tianji Academy Palace were attached to the eunuch party, and the Longxiang battalion formed by them was organized under the Su Guard Army, which was naturally subordinate to the inner court, and this time they won successive victories in the north of Tianshui County, for them, it was really not good news, but fortunately, they thought of a mediation strategy, and they could move the Helan Sword Sect into Qintong Mountain and suppress the Tianji Academy, otherwise, after a hundred years, the Tianji Academy Palace would really be entrenched, and it would be a real disaster.
If you want to compare, although the eunuch party is powerful, it is attached to the emperor, and it can only create chaos for a few more years before the emperor collapses.
Dong Chou silently watched Tu Que's contemplative expression, and did not speak, but silently drank the wine in the cup.
The oblique moon is heavy, because Helan Sword Sect is still resisting stubbornly, so Hechuan County is still implementing a curfew, the streets and alleys are silent, from time to time there are guards patrolling back and forth with torches, causing a burst of dog barking, only the Taiwei Mansion is still noisy, the music is leisurely, and it is spread far away, people who don't know think that this is the time of peace and prosperity.
**********************************
Last night, the representative of Helan Sword Sect, the general of the Hexiang Army, and Huang Peiyi, the pastor of Hechuan County, personally led his troops into the city to negotiate and entered the county pastoral mansion of Hechuan City, and the atmosphere in the county pastoral mansion changed suddenly, and suddenly became tense again.
Before Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, and Yao Wenjin entered Hechuan City, there were letters from Yanjing that were passed to the Dong family and Helan Sword Sect, and there were rumors of mediation.
Whether it was Dong Chou personally coming forward to greet Tu Zhao Yao and the others in the Hechuan County Pastoral Mansion, or Huang Peiyi personally walking out of Helan Mountain and entering Hechuan City, which made him ashamed and miserable, it all showed that both parties intended to accept the mediation of the imperial court.
Helan Mountain is extremely dangerous, and it is the foundation of Helan Sword Sect, the mountain protection array refined for thousands of years is by no means so easy to break, the Hexi Army wants to attack it, the casualties are bound to be not small, if you don't capture Helan Mountain, the elbow and armpit is always a scourge, making people sleepless day and night.
As far as the Helan Sword Sect led by the Huang clan is concerned, hundreds of thousands of remnants and remnants of the army hastily retreated to Helan Mountain, and under the blockade of the war poultry battalion of the Hexi Army, they were able to trap several main peaks covered by a large defensive array, so they lacked food and clothing, and their lives were very difficult; more importantly, the internal people were panicked, and the surrender of the elders of the sect such as Lian Yongliang and Hua Yanming dealt a more tragic blow to morale.
In addition, Xie Jueyuan, who served as the deputy envoy of Tianshu in Yanjing at this time, was himself the elder of the Helan Sword Sect who was respected alongside Huang Qiwei, and this time the Hexi army brazenly captured Hechuan Mountain, burned the war all over Hechuan County, and surrounded Helan Mountain, Xie Jueyuan and many of his disciples were silent in Yanjing, which undoubtedly made the disciples of Helan Sword Sect who were trapped in Helan Mountain despair.
Both sides were willing to accept the mediation of the imperial court, but when it came to the terms of the armistice, they were at loggerheads.
When Huang Peiyi walked into the county governor's mansion, he even had the illusion of hoping that the imperial court would stand up and uphold justice, and when he saw Dong Chou and a cadre of civil ministers and military generals in Hexi, he was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but angrily reprimand the Hexi army for tyrannizing and attacking Hechuan, causing the people to suffer......
Dong Chou also changed his docile and virtuous last night, and scolded Huang Peiyi with-for-tat and fierce words:
"My father was ordered to shepherd Hexi, for decades, my Hexi is the Ping domain of the counties in the northwest, the north reaches the demon barbarian, the west rejects Qianghu, and the king protects the country, and he never dares to slack off for a moment. Think about your Huang family, the world guards Hechuan County, what credit do you have, but in Hechuan County, you have engaged in rebellion against relatives, and you have repeatedly provoked Hexi, if Hexi does not return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, the world thinks that my Hexi is weak and can be bullied. Huang Mujun, ask yourself, why did Hexi bother to mobilize the people and fight the crime in Hechuan? And after the war began, even if the people were injured occasionally, it was the fault and crime of the Huang family. ”
knew that Dong Chou's words were forceful and reasonable, but Huang Peiyi was difficult to refute, and his face turned blue with anger.
At this time, Tu Que could only stand up to appease both sides, and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to fight more, we should focus more on the present, discuss the truce, and stop fighting without permission and hurting the sky." The saint is in Yanjing, and he doesn't want to see the situation erode, which will make the alien barbarians laugh in shame. ”
"It's okay to stop the war, the Huang clan and the lords of the Helan Sword Sect need to dismiss all the generals and soldiers on the spot, hand over all the weapons, armor, treasury, spirit sword, rune treasure, and array weapons, and lead the relatives to withdraw from Hechuan County, and my Dong clan will send troops to escort them away. Dong Chou opened his mouth and directly opened the conditions.
"Nonsense, my Helan Sword Sect has 100,000 disciples and 1 million armor soldiers, and the Dong clan still has delusions, and wants my 100,000 disciples and 1 million armor soldiers to be captured? Huang Peiyi said without giving an inch.
"Huang Hou, why bother to say such arrogant words again. Tu Que persuaded with a wry smile.
"If you want my Huang clan to stop fighting, please ask the Hexi Army to withdraw from Hechuan Ridge. Huang Peiyi said.
"The Huang clan has the ability, so they can personally invite us to leave. Dong Chou sneered.
Dong Chou and Huang Peiyi directly quarreled and argued, and the subordinate generals on both sides were idle, just glaring at each other angrily, fighting for an aura.
Zhao Zhong also watched the two of them play coldly from the sidelines, and didn't say anything.
"Brother Dong Shi, can you listen to me!" Seeing that the situation froze, Yao Wenjin was annoyed for a while, and stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Yao Wenjin is also one of the mediation envoys, and if he wants to speak, naturally no one can stop him.
"Lord Yao, please speak. Dong Chou said.
"Since the Holy Lord's illness, he has been deceived by the traitorous ministers, so that the disputes in Dayan have continued, and the soldiers have not stopped, resulting in the destruction of more than ten counties in Heyang, Lichuan and Jiyang, and the people do not have one out of ten, which can be said to be the year of great calamity and great disaster. I think that when I founded the country of Dayan, Gaozu had agreed with the lords to take charge of the counties, and I think that the lords should also have a share of the responsibility of helping the world. But in this year of catastrophe and catastrophe, the Dong clan is good at raising troops and attacking Hechuan, causing millions of soldiers to be killed and wounded, can it be called the responsibility of helping the world?"
Yao Wenjin's words were extremely unkind, and his eyes stared sharply at Dong Chou's eyes.
Dong Chou's face changed greatly, and he asked unhappily, "Why did Brother Yao say this?"
Tu Que and Zhao Zhong also changed color slightly, but they didn't expect Yao Wenjin to suddenly attack Dong Chou at this time.
Of course, Zhao Zhong was surprised, but he wished that Dong Chou slapped Yao Wenjin to death and avenge his hatred for being mocked last night.
Huang Peiyi thought that Yao Wenjin would help him, and he was about to come forward and denounce the Dong family's crimes, but he didn't want Yao Wenjin to change his words, and then questioned him: "The Huang family was enshrined in Hechuan, but over the years, they have rejected dissent, resulting in the betrayal of their relatives when they were attacked by the Hexi army.
Huang Peiyi's face also changed greatly, and he was so panicked by Yao Wenjin's words that he couldn't wait to stab this guy to death with a sword.
The scene of fighting for red ears made Yao Wenjin stiffen up like this, and after Dong Chou and Huang Peiyi both returned to their respective long cases, they hummed angrily and stopped talking.
Tu Que didn't expect Yao Wenjin to make such a disturbance calm down the scene, and then stepped forward and said gently: "Wen Jin said too harshly, of course, these are all things in the past, and the emperor also ordered not to investigate the past, but to discuss the current truce." ”
"What else is there to talk about at the moment," Yao Wenjin hated the Huang Dong clan who were fighting privately, making the people of the border county unhappy, and ambitious, and didn't give any good faces, and said, "The generals of the Hexiang army are all recruited from the people of Hechuan County, and the people of the county are relocated, and we have no reason to force them to leave their hometowns. The Huang clan and other clans, on the emperor's order, moved eastward to Qintongye Guling and Huang Elkyuan, how can the Dong clan have reason to stop it?"
"Lord Yao is right. Since Yao Wenjin offended both sides, Zhao Zhong looked at Dong Chou and Huang Peiyi and asked, "What are your opinions?"
