"Even if you take Qingzhou Yanzhou, and even break through Yingchuan County, you may not be able to break through the impregnable Luoyang City! For so many years, how many armies have the Zhou army sent to attack Luoyang, but they have never been able to break through Jin Yong City, and in the end they can only return in vain. One minister retorted.

"Yes, the Zhou army has not broken through Luoyang City, and in your impression, our Chen army does not seem to have the strength to break through such a city with high walls and thick walls, but have you seen my forward brigade attack the city? You can ask King Lanling, how did I, Xiao Yao, attack the city? Let him tell you, with the strength of my forward brigade, can I break through Luoyang City! And we may also join forces with Zhou to launch an attack on Luoyang City! Chen and Zhou's two armies joined forces to attack, Luoyang will be broken, if Luoyang is broken, the Zhou army in Guanxi will drive straight into the Central Plains, and at that time, only the Qi country in Hebei will be left, and it is estimated that it can only obediently wait to be destroyed! Xiao Yao looked coldly at these ministers who were so scared that they had nothing to say and said with a sneer.

"Therefore, it is estimated that now, among the two countries of Chen and Zhou, only me, Xiao Yao, do not want to see your Qi country destroyed by Chen and Zhou like this! This is the reason why I, Xiao Yao, took the initiative to propose an armistice and peace to you after taking the entire Xuzhou! In addition to me, Xiao Yao, including our Majesty and the court of the Chen State, as well as the Zhou State that has a feud with your Qi State, they all want to destroy your Qi State immediately, and then divide your population, land, money, and women! Xiao Yao pointed at himself with his thumb, and then looked at everyone with a look of pity for the world, and said domineeringly.

"Huangkou child, you are worthy of your words! Between countries, who doesn't always want to destroy each other! And you still say that you are so great, only you don't want our Qi country to perish? Who doesn't know that you, Xiao Shilang, fought the hardest against our Great Qi army! How many of our soldiers have died at your hands! The minister said angrily.

"That's right! You just said that you only proposed an armistice and peace to us if you didn't want to see us all perish, but this is a crime of disobedience to the Holy Decree! Why do you do these things that are so disagreeable to the world for the sake of our great unity! Another minister also questioned.

"Because if your Qi country has always existed, I can get more benefits!" Xiao Yao said unabashedly: "The so-called flying birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking!" If your Qi kingdom is destroyed, where will I go to make a contribution? If we deal with the Zhou State, our Chen State does not have the strength now, but we are still more than enough to deal with your Qi State, so I don't want your Qi State to be destroyed so quickly! ”

"You must know that I am still just a general who is not in the stream and a small Xuzhou assassin, compared with those high-ranking and powerful imperial relatives in the court, there is still a big gap behind! And I, Xiao Yao, am just a boy from a humble background, without a deep background from a famous family, if I don't have the opportunity to make military achievements, why should I climb up? This time I successfully took Xuzhou, His Majesty has appointed me as the assassin of Xuzhou, so even if I take Qingzhou again, there will be no greater reward, therefore, I will take the initiative to stop the attack, first, I can save the production of expensive weapons and ammunition, and second, I can also let you Qi State a horse, so that your Qi State only lost Xuzhou, did not hurt the foundation of the Central Plains, and after a few years of recuperation, you still have the ability to fight against Zhou! Xiao Yao laughed shamelessly and said.

Sure enough, hearing Xiao Yao say so bluntly and explicitly the reason why he would not continue to attack, these ministers were all speechless and silent, and even Gao Changgong looked at Xiao Yao with a complicated expression, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped, because although he felt that Xiao Yao's words were very shameless and ridiculous, but when he wanted to refute it, he couldn't say anything to refute it!

Only Gao Wei looked at Xiao Yao with a bewildered expression, and asked nervously: "According to Shiro, what you mean, you just regard our Qi Kingdom as a stepping stone to be promoted to an official in the officialdom?" Then after signing this armistice and peace treaty, if Emperor Chen once again promised to make you a higher official position, then you will still lead your troops to attack our Qi State? ”

"Between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests! You Qi and Zhou have fought for so many years, how many peace treaties have you signed, and in the end, when your strength is stronger, you will not tear up the peace treaty and launch an attack on the other party! So continue this time we successfully signed the armistice, and I believe that one day, we will continue to fight! Xiao Yao said very honestly.

"Then why are we wasting time here with you now, engaging in these senseless verbal battles, and signing such a meaningless truce?" One of the ministers asked excitedly.

"Because of this peace treaty, I will not launch an attack on your Qi country within one or two years!" Xiao Yao smiled and said with a natural look: "This time I have taken Xuzhou for the Chen State, and it has also become the history of Xuzhou, according to the consistent style of the ministers who oppose me and hate me in the Chen State's court, in the past two years, our Majesty will not have any promotion and reward for me!" ”

"So with this armistice, no matter what your Majesty orders me, I have reason to refuse to lead my forward brigade into battle! In this way, don't you Qi country also have a buffer time for two years to recuperate and develop your strength? Perhaps, under the rule of Your Majesty, your wise and martial arts, and with the hard work of your ministers, the Qi State will be able to regain its strength within a year, and then take the initiative to tear up this armistice and peace treaty, attack Xuzhou, and recover the land of Huaibei! Xiao Yao looked tempting and said cheaply.

"But what you said is what you Xiao Shilang said alone, and the emperor of your Chen State doesn't know at all! You just came to Yecheng without permission, and you don't have his holy decree on you, and the armistice and peace treaty doesn't have the jade seal of your Chen State, so it can't be counted at all! If your Majesty sends troops to continue attacking our Daqi at that time, what will we do? Another minister took the issue back to the starting point.

"Then you will send troops to fight them! Anyway, with this peace treaty, my Xiao Yao and the Forward Brigade will only be stationed in Xuzhou, and they will definitely not fight, as long as the opponent of your Qi army is not me Xiao Yao, according to the strength of your Qi army, it is still possible to deal with other armies, you are right, King Lanling! Xiao Yao looked at Gao Changgong with a smile and said.

"If it weren't for you Xiao Shilang, you Chen Guo wouldn't say that it was Xuzhou Huaibei, and even Shouyang Huainan would be difficult for you to take!" Gao Changgong said the big truth angrily.

"Therefore, although our Majesty did not know that I Xiao Yao came to Yecheng to conduct armistice and peace talks with you this time, but I stopped attacking Qingzhou and took the initiative to propose armistice and peace talks to you, our Majesty He knows, but he has not expressed his position, does not punish me, and does not support me! It is estimated that he also understands that if he beats your Qi State too hard, it will make Zhou Guo pick up a big advantage, so he will acquiesce to my armistice and peace talks with you! Therefore, only if we negotiate this peace agreement well, so that our Majesty has a satisfactory result, even if there is no jade seal of our Chen State, but our Majesty should not take the initiative to tear up this armistice contract within this year or two! After all, if it weren't for me Xiao Yao to fight, he would also know that the other generals of the Chen State would have a hard time dealing with your Qi army! Xiao Yao said boastfully.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Yao's heresy, these ministers of the Qi State, including Gao Wei and Gao Changgong, all fell into deep thought!
