Chapter 1033: Rong Chen's Heart
The courtiers originally had great differences about how to deal with the affairs of the Seven Princes, but when the good news came, these people stood on the united front at this moment, no matter what they thought before.
People, can't be killed, land, must.
So after they discussed it again, the progress was already much faster than before, and Mu Ze was no longer silent, and said a lot of his own opinions.
He already had experience in conquest, and he was familiar with dealing with these foreign people, and knew their minds well. After listening to Mu Ze's words, the emperor and the courtiers were also very inspired and formulated many rules and regulations for negotiation.
Those people in the military department are no longer silent, and the negotiation can be entrusted to these civil servants to do. Because Da Zhou had chips in his hands, what they said was how to hold these three continents before the negotiations began.
Originally, the Eastern Regions were far away from here, and even if it was a negotiation, it was estimated that it would drag on for a while. And Rong Chen is now almost in the hinterland of the Eastern Regions, if the army of the Eastern Regions counterattacks in a short time, and Rong Chen's support and supplies cannot keep up, these three continents may be lost.
So a military general stood up and said to the emperor: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister asks for orders, lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, and support General Rong Chen, so as to ensure the safety of the envoys who negotiate and the three continents will not be lost." ”
The emperor looked at Mu Ze and wanted to hear his thoughts.
Mu Ze nodded, and also said: "Erchen thinks that since he wants these three continents, he must guard them first. The lives of the Seven Princes are definitely not as important as the Three Continents, if the Eastern Regions pretend to be confused at this time, and take advantage of the time when we transport the Seven Princes out of Beijing to take the Three Continents back, our negotiation will be meaningless. ”
Only then did the emperor glance at Mu Ze approvingly: "Okay, I agreed to your request." ”
But Mu Que also said at this moment: "Father, it is obviously the best thing to be able to take those three continents over. But the Eastern Regions are not fools, and Erchen is worried that they will not cede all the three continents. And because of the special location of these three continents, the ordinary Great Zhou can't hold it at all, so the envoys in charge of negotiations must be carefully selected. Erchen felt ......"
After that, Mu Que said about an official in his camp. Now that Mu Que has already stood up, of course Mu Ling also wants to talk about his opinion, so he also recommended his own people.
At that time, the emperor said: "This envoy's problem, Lao Jiu has already told me before, Mo Qinghan has communicated with the people of the Eastern Regions the most, and it is most suitable for him to go." And I wasn't so greedy in the first place, of course it was great that these three continents could come, but the people in the Eastern Regions would definitely not agree, so I felt that it would be enough to capture one continent. ”
Mu Que frowned: "Father, Mo Qinghan's original identity is special, the people in the Eastern Regions must hate him very much, if you send him, won't it have any counterproductive effect?"
This was also something that Mu Ling was worried about, and he turned his head to look at Mu Ze with suspicion in his eyes. But Mu Ze's gaze was very calm, obviously he had confidence in Mo Qinghan.
Mu Ling found that he couldn't understand Mu Ze more and more. It seems that Mu Ze has not told him in advance about these things he has done recently, could it be that he has become defensive against himself?
There is also that Mo Qinghan, Mu Ze may have a good relationship with him, but after all, he is the emperor's person, even if the negotiation is successful, this credit must not be received by them.
Oh, since it was recommended by Mu Ze, Mo Qinghan would definitely mention Mu Ze.
Thinking of this, Mu Ling's heart was as uncomfortable as a thorn. When he came out of the imperial study after a while, he must ask Mu Ze what he thought.
The emperor also explained to Mu Que: "In this matter, the Great Zhou is strong, and we have all the initiative." Therefore, the envoys sent must tell the other party that you want to reconcile with us, if you don't want to reconcile, then we will kill the Seven Princes, and send heavy troops to keep the land of the three continents, the strength of the Great Zhou, they are not clear, after beating the drum in their hearts, they will definitely not dare to act rashly. ”
Mu Que seemed to have been taught, although he still wanted to promote his own people, but seeing that the emperor had agreed to Mu Ze's words, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to salute the emperor and said: "Then about sending the little marquis of Mo to negotiate, leave it to the Ministry of Rites to handle." ”
No one else can grab this, and of course the emperor agreed: "Okay, you also have to pay more attention to this matter, the people around Mo Qinghan must be carefully selected." ”
When Mu Que heard this, his face was overjoyed. Being able to choose people means that he can also place his own people by Mo Qinghan's side, after all, he can't go alone, he must have an honor guard.
So now that the matter of the envoys is settled, and the reinforcements are also settled, all that remains is the drafting of the charter.
Mu Ze went to the imperial study for three days in a row, and by the third day, the regulations were almost drawn up.
When he walked out of the imperial study on the first day, Mu Ze also tied the letter that had been written to the war eagle's leg again and let it fly towards the Eastern Regions, which was written about the emperor's instructions on this matter.
At that time, Rong Chen and Wei Chuxiu had only been stationed for a day, and the joy of winning the battle had already been occupied by the worries that followed.
When it was late, they were still in their tents, discussing plans for the future defense of the city.
The map was freshly drawn and hung on the tent, and beside them there was a sand table. It is said that these two people are also talented, and this sand table is still completed by them together.
Rong Chen pointed to a few cities on the sand table and said to Wei Chuxiu: "Although we suddenly attacked and captured their three continents in a row, if there are no reinforcements in the rear, I am afraid we will not be able to last long." ”
Wei Chuxiu nodded: "Now that the battle report has been transmitted back to several royal cities in the Eastern Regions, the news of the sentinel's inquiry is that they are already reorganizing their troops and horses, and they can counterattack us at any time." ”
Rong Chen also agreed with Wei Chuxiu's words: "Don't look at the fact that the Eastern Regions are occupied by several countries, they are not united, but if they join forces, Da Zhou may not be their opponent." ”
Wei Chuxiu also knows this truth very well, but it is precisely the reason why the Eastern Regions have not been unified for so many years, so there is no stronger cohesion.
However, she was obviously quite optimistic, and patted the edge of the sand table casually: "Anyway, our current city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we will definitely be able to wait for the instructions of the court before their army invades, if the Eastern Regions really have the guts, then just try it." ”
Rong Chen looked up at Wei Chuxiu and found that she had already taken off her armor and was now only wearing a long gown, talking to herself about her thoughts.
Also, it's night now, and in this barracks, I'm afraid everyone is resting, and the two of them are still discussing the war.
After having a plan, Rong Chen also stood up straight: "It's not early, you can also sleep." ”
Wei Chuxiu glanced at Rong Chen: "But I'm not sleepy yet, let me take a look at this sand table again." ”
Seeing that Wei Chuxiu was disobedient again, and when she faced Rong Chen at this moment, she didn't call herself a subordinate, and Rong Chen knew that she was getting along with herself as a friend.
So Rong Chen had no choice but to smile at her: "Xiuxiu, do you really want me to put on a show to teach you a lesson?"
Wei Chuxiu complained a little in his heart about Rong Chen, with such an up-and-coming deputy general as himself, he was not satisfied, and he taught himself a lesson.
However, Rong Chen's Xiuxiu shout just now really made Wei Chuxiu feel a little shy in his heart. Speaking of women's participation in the army, it is really not as beautiful as she imagined at the beginning.
In the barracks, those men will not take care of themselves because they are girls, they will only feel that it is precisely because they are women that they have dragged them back, and the relationship between themselves and Rong Chen is still a little unclear, at the beginning of the difficult time, Wei Chuxiu really didn't know how he survived.
But fortunately, she has come out of those days. Now there is no one in the whole army, no matter how dare to question Wei Chuxiu's courage and strategy, she is using her way to become a successful soldier step by step.
And in this night, Wei Chuxiu couldn't help but think of one thing.
It was a long time ago, when a soldier was saying bad things about her behind her back, she and Rong Chen happened to pass by and heard it.
Several soldiers were very scared, all worried that Rong Chen would punish them, but Rong Chen and Wei Chuxiu didn't even give them a look.
Just when he walked past them, Rong Chen said lightly: "Wei Chuxiu will definitely prove that she is a qualified soldier in the future, and when that day comes, I hope you can apologize to her." ”
At that time, Wei Chuxiu glanced at Rong Chen and felt that he was so tall.
He had been at the border for a while, with a little vicissitudes on his body, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. It's not the same as when I was in the capital.
Wei Chuxiu thought to herself, this should be the man she paid attention to, and such a man was worth catching up with.
So tonight, when Wei Chuxiu was about to go to rest, he asked about it: "At that time, did you really not want to stand up for me?"
Seeing that Rong Chen was stunned for a moment, Wei Chuxiu thought that Rong Chen had forgotten about this matter, and just wanted to say, if you don't remember, don't say it, but who knows that Rong Chen said: "Actually, at that time, I was very angry." ”
At this moment, Rong Chen turned his back to Wei Chuxiu, because the conditions in the camp were poor, the two of them could not usually take a bath here, but before going to bed, they could still use the basin to wash their hands and feet a little.
Rong Chen was washing his hands. Wei Chuxiu listened to the sound of the rushing water, and at the same time listened to Rong Chen say: "Anyway, we almost got married, and you were brought here by me, of course I don't want them to talk about you like this." ”
Wei Chuxiu saw that Rong Chen had washed his hands and was wiping them with a cloth towel. His hands are very slender, but they are much darker than before, and every time he sees these hands, Wei Chuxiu can think of when Rong Chen is holding a sword and fighting in the battlefield.
