Chapter 83: Peaceful Reconciliation
Shuai Wang bowed his head and was silent.
Go home.
After all, you still have someone waiting for you at home.
Wei Shuai looked back at the direction of Lengjia Mountain, smiled, the mountains and rivers were still ......
All this, for what?
Is it the retribution that I have taken over the ten cities?
Laugh again, okay, the Zhao brothers robbed other places in the rest of the country, so they are also unhappy.
However, is it okay not to rob it? May I?
Laugh, the southern kingdom poured the whole country's strength into winning ten cities, twice, why? It's certainly not for fun. These ten cities are the gateways, and with these ten cities, there are natural dangers in the Yinshan Mountain Range to defend.
Why does my country need these ten cities? The main road of transportation, all business exchanges must pass through this portal. Wei Shuaiwang smiled bitterly, do you want to live a nomadic life forever? Of course, there are people who like this kind of free and easy nomadic life. However, the price of freedom is also very large, the constant fighting between tribes, the cruel natural environment, a heavy snow freezes all the livestock and the herdsmen from time to time, and the herdsmen's other turn is the caravan, which is cut into sections of the road to kill the caravan.
So, for what? Of course, this kind of fight is not for fun, the south is for safety, and the north is for silver. Of course, it's hard to say silver, in order to survive, in order to leave the jungle of fighting, and live safely.
Why can't we live in peace? Since the pattern of warfare has existed for thousands of years, there must be an inevitable reason. Shuai Wang lightly, no matter what kind of good intentions he has, people can't go against the sky, they can only do their best within the scope of what's possible.
He Zhen cried for a while, remembering Wei Shuaiwang behind him, turned his head, and saw the enemy mourning silently, although he felt in his heart that you were just a cat crying mouse, but this silent expression was also respectful, he thought for a while: "There is still ......"
Shuai Wang said: "If I can find it, I will try my best to find it." β
He Zhen was silent for a while: "What do you want?" β
Shuai Wang said: "Reconciliation." β
He Zhen couldn't help but want to turn his head sideways, and swept Wei Shuaiwang out of the corner of his eye to show his disdain, I'll go, do you think I'll believe it? Are you naΓ―ve, or do you think I'm naΓ―ve?
Shuai Wang smiled: "Why did the He family want to participate in the war?" β
He Zhen was silent for a while: "Some people say that my uncle is seeking the position of commanding the world under the pretext of protecting the family and defending the country, what do you think?" "Laughs.
Wei Shuaiwang thought for a while: "The ten cities fell into the hands of the enemy, and the door to the southern kingdom was wide open, someone must take the lead in fighting, and if the person who took the lead could not order and prohibit it, the entire team would definitely be defeated." β
He Zhen was stunned: "Oh, I thought you would be very happy to hear this kind of thing." β
Wei Shuaiwang smiled: "Some people fight to the death, and some people reflect, which is also due." β
He Zhen was silent for a while: "The He family has shed blood, it's time to shed tears." They all died. β
Shuai Wang was stunned for a while, and smiled: "Famous generals have no good deaths since ancient times, either they die in battle, or they have to die unjustly, or this is the balance of this world." Let us be at peace for a while. β
He Zhen glanced at him: "You are still the leader of the Demon Sect. β
Wei Shuaiwang smiled: "If I joined the war for the country and the people, I have already achieved my goal, if not, then it is not worth showing off, right?" β
He Zhen smiled: "Oh, that is, you didn't get the glory you deserved. β
Wei Shuaiwang was silent for a while: "I was just a person with low moral standards, and I am not worthy of boasting." β
He Zhen for a long time: "I don't know if there is anyone in Ludao who is patriotic without selfish desires, maybe there are, writing hundreds of poems that say that this world is very miserable." It's definitely not the poets who really study the situation of the entire world, I guess my uncle is really interested in the position of power, so he spent his life building an alliance and spending a lot of time and money investigating the martial arts of the northern country, I don't know which sage who is indifferent to fame and fortune has done this kind of thing, they spend all their energy on scolding my uncle. Even the enemy knows who the opponent is to be attacked, but they share the same goal with our enemy. So, no matter what you ask for, the He family is not capable of satisfying you. β
Wei Shuai smiled, yes, he can't say that he has no selfish desires at all. If it weren't for the trade route, would it be ten cities? It's always because they have their own interests in it, so they bother to think about it, who has enough to do comprehensive economic, political and military research in order to worry about the country and the people? He asked, "So, who is the current martial arts leader?" β
He Zhen smiled: "No." If so, do you think I'll say it? β
Shuai Wang said: "If I wanted to destroy the southern martial arts, I would have done it a long time ago, I just wanted to discuss reconciliation, I hope that when my caravan enters the southern country, there will be a guarantee of safety." Of course, in return, you can offer conditions, equal guarantees, or, protection money? β
He Zhen was shocked: "You want to pay protection money to the southern country?" β
Wei Shuai said, "Why not?" I have to pay for hiring an extra master bodyguard, so why not win instead of losing both? β
He Zhen was stunned for a while: "No one dares to do this." Are you kidding, we have just finished the war, who would dare to take your money to guarantee the safety of your caravan? Isn't this a ......?"
Shuai Wang said: "As long as you promise not to attack us, no matter what, we will be equipped with corresponding force." β
He Zhenliang for a long time: "You won't take the opportunity to do espionage?" β
Wei Shuaiwang thought for a while: "It's hard to say, try not to let you find out, can this kind of thing still be forbidden?" If we don't do business, we have to send someone to be a spy. β
He Zhen was speechless, damn, you are sincere.
Wei Shuai said, "Especially when your spy war is so effective. β
He Zhen was depressed for a while: "The second brother has suffered ten years of sins in vain, people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts." β
Shuai Wang said: "You underestimate him, the Leng Family Demon Sect is fighting, he has made great contributions, and later the Demon Sect is alone against the enemy, and the Leng family stabbed him in the back, and he also played a big role." A respectable opponent. Whether it's revenge for relatives or revenge for the country, it's terrifying. Of course, I think that the He family was the instigator of the war, and hundreds of thousands of people died as a result...... However, I think that from the standpoint of your country, the Ten Cities are the gateway, and it is impossible to recognize them without trying to fight a war. As far as my country is concerned, we are also exchanging the lives of the northern* people to the rest of the ten cities, and it is impossible to let go without a fight. Believe it or not, I repeat that we do not have a greater *, we have hit your capital and retreated to its original borders. We feel that as a multi-ethnic country, it is quite risky to rule over a population dozens of times larger than ours. The people of the Ten Cities will maintain their original farming life, and we will be more inclined to live a stable and peaceful life, and become a peaceful country. Therefore, these ten cities will be a wall of peace, a wall of gates. We live more abundantly on the ten cities, and you have a strong barrier, so let us reconcile. For the north, peace will bring a stable and prosperous life, for the south, if the north falls, no one in the south still wants to live on the frontier, and there will still be a new northerner country here, and no one can guarantee a new country, whether it is more wild and ambitious. The new country may have the impression that it cannot coexist peacefully with the South. β
He Zhen looked at him for a while: "I do think that you are different from the barbarians in my impression. Maybe we can live in peace for 100 years. β
Shuai Wang smiled: "I promise that I will not take the initiative to start a war in the northern country if I am alive." Of course, I'm not saying that I'm not going to engage in any intrigues to profit from it or something, I'm just protecting myself from starting a war. I am a businessman, and the essence of a businessman is to make money. β
He Zhen was silent for a while, and reiterated again: "It's useless for you to tell me this, the He family has declined, and besides, my uncle has no descendants left, our brothers, we have no ambition at all, let other families be heroes, the blood of the He family has been shed enough." β
Shuai Wang said: "So, we can be regarded as reconciled?" β
He Zhen said: "Sort of, it's peaceful." β
Shuai Wang said: "In the future, my caravan will definitely visit the He family and give me gifts to express my respect." β
He Zhen shook his hand: "No, no, don't go up the mountain to look for us, we will never go down the mountain to find you." Peace is good. β
Shuai Wang smiled: "The He family can still go down the mountain to monitor, as long as we show that we are aware of you, you leave, and you don't plan to go to war." Or, keeping a proper distance, I just hope, we don't have casualties because of misunderstandings. β
He Zhen couldn't help but laugh, yes, that's right, if you pass by under my mountain, we will definitely monitor it: "This agreement is very good." β
There was silence for a while: "Do you have to come to our country to do business?" β
Wei Shuai shrugged: "We will go to all the places where we can afford to do business." The southern country is the safest and richest recently, what do you say? How many of your horses and bows and arrows for battle have been purchased from us. β
He Zhen was speechless: "Anyway, I can't stop you." β
Wei Shuaiwang said slowly: "Or, we can trade with the merchants of the southern country on the border. β
He Zhenqi said: "What are you not doing? β
Wei Shuaiwang smiled: "Presumably because of the tenfold price difference." β
He Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Ten times the difference? β
Wei Shuai said: "Usually, we can accept three to four times the difference, after all, transportation also requires money, no matter how high, it is better for us to purchase it ourselves." You can try, not only can you sell our goods, but you can also bring pearls, game, fur and medicinal materials on the way, and you can earn a lot of money back and forth. β
He Zhen began to settle accounts silently......
And then I felt that I was corroded......
Shuai Wang said: "You can choose a good day to pick up your brother back to his hometown." I would like to hold a ceremony with both the northern and southern martial arts people participating, and of course, I respect your opinion. I just think that He Shuqi has done a lot for his country, and he should deserve a ceremony to welcome the bones. β
He Zhen was silent for a while: "I'll go back and discuss it with my father." You really don't have anything else to ask for? β
Shuai Wang smiled bitterly: "I want to make a request, but this is just a request, not an additional condition." β
He Zhen silently felt, then, I don't listen, okay?
Wei Shuai said: "That's the case, Tian Liushan was sentenced to death?" Was it really a capital offense, or was it revenge? I am very unhappy about this, and I feel that our armistice has been flouted. β
He Zhendao: "As far as I know, Tian Liushan left Yongzhou City safely, and then he really occupied the mountain as a bandit. These bandits, with at least dozens of lives in their hands, including various cases of robbery and arson, are definitely not framing him. β
Shuai Wang asked, "Did you hear about it, or did you see it with your own eyes?" β
He Zhen sighed: "The He family really didn't participate. I've heard about it, but it's definitely true. In fact, some people planned to ask for Tian Liushan's life, but some people testified that Tian Liushan did not really surrender, he secretly helped the rebel soldiers and civilians at that time, which is also the reason why he later went up the mountain and became a bandit. β
Wei Shuai said: "It seems that you know very well that those bandits were civilians who resisted the invasion. β
He Zhen was silent for a while: "I know very well what's the use?" The lawsuit against them is one meter high, it can't be because they first tried to resist the invasion, and the people they killed later don't count, right? Who robbed your food and killed your family in order to resist the invasion, can you forget it? β
Shuai looked at it for a long time and sighed: "A tragedy." β
