Zhu Yaoshi knew that Xiao Shan had always been cunning, but after all, his troops were in the city, not to mention that only two people came from the other party, so he agreed to discuss the terms of peace with Xiao Shan alone, and left Liu Gan in the camp for Qiu Xingzhi to interrogate, so as to verify the terms that Xiao Shan said.

Zhu Yaoshi took Xiao Shan to the cave where the weapons were stored, let his own soldiers guard the door, and pulled out his sword and pointed at Xiao Shan: "Prime Minister Zuo, now you can say your terms"

Xiao Shan touched the sword with his hand: "Sure enough, it is a sword with a hero, the emperor has issued an edict to crown you as the king of Yan, the old man will give you congratulations first, and the prince is also willing to come to the army to accept the protection of King Yan, this is another joy."

Pharmacist Zhu sneered: "Could it be that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng came here to coax me with these empty words?" ”

Xiao Shan also smiled: "King Yan is a great hero who is not born in the world, if there is chaos today, and Liang Guoqi is exhausted, is it possible that King Yan's eyes are only on those gold and silver property, and he can't see the world?" ”

Pharmacist Zhu continued to sneer: "It's these old words again, don't you want to persuade me to be the emperor, and then continue to be the prime minister, right?" ”

Xiao Shan sighed: "My Xiao family's protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there are a lot of industries, and I have never looked at this official position. Persuading you to be the emperor is not something that should be said today, but the emperor is terminally ill and will die soon, can't General Zhu take advantage of the situation to support the crown prince to ascend the throne, recently General Zhu has collected the hearts of the people around Jinling, and then the new emperor Chan will give the emperor the throne is just a matter of course. When the time comes, there will be no gold and silver cloth? Could it be that what King Yan wanted in his heart was to lead the army back north after looting? What's the difference between this and the grass coar? ”

Pharmacist Zhu was still unmoved, and the sword was handed forward half an inch just against Xiao Shan's chest: "Prime Minister Xiao, it seems that you don't want to give the promised gold and silver cloth."

Xiao Shan shook his head: "Our Xiao family has always kept promises, but it is impossible to gather so many gold and silver cloths in Jinling City, but it can be discounted with one thing!"

Pharmacist Zhu became interested: "I want to see what kind of rare item it is, which can be exchanged for gold and silver cloth?" If you don't call my heart, I will take your head and sacrifice the flag directly into Jinling to get it! ”

Xiao Shan smiled: "Hasn't King Yan heard of Miss Qianjin?" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was stunned, but he actually put the sword back, and said softly: "Lord Xiao means to use the ladies of the big family to exchange gold and silver cloths?" ”

Xiao Shan nodded, and Pharmacist Zhu was a little unconvinced: "I heard that in the past, the Hou family was in turmoil and wanted to marry a woman from the Cui family, and the Cui family would rather be killed by hundreds of people than marry someone from a pariah background, Lord Xiao is afraid that he is not using lies to deceive us." I don't believe that this Jinling family can marry their young lady to us pariahs! ”

Xiao Shan waved his hand: "King Yan was a hero at that time, and he didn't talk about what kind of family rank he was, and now our family is not a person who eats the ancients, and he can turn the war into a jade silk and then get married, wouldn't he be happy and happy, and the world will be peaceful from now on."

Pharmacist Zhu remembered Yang Chanjuan, the third lady in the Hongnong Yang family's mansion he met when he was a teenager. At that time, Zhu Yaoshi was a riding slave in the house, and he took Yang Chanjuan to ride a horse and shoot hunting every day, and the two fell in love for a long time, but unfortunately there was a huge disparity in the family, and Zhu Yaoshi was almost killed by the Yang family, but Yang Chanjuan begged hard to escape with her life. Now Yang Chanjuan has long been gone, but when it comes to marriage, Pharmacist Zhu first thinks of Yang Chanjuan.

Yao Shi Zhu was thinking about it, and Xiao Shan spoke again: "With the dignity of King Yan, it is not a problem to marry a princess, and the old man can guarantee this matter!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu immediately came back to his senses: "Okay, good, Chanjuan, Chanjuan"

Xiao Shan was a little stunned, but then agreed: "Okay, good, so good"

After Pharmacist Zhu left, Qiu Xingzhi asked Liu Qianlai: "I said that I would marry a woman from a big family to us as a wife and concubine, and you really dare to make it up, who doesn't know that in the past few hundred years, there has been no Gaomen surname to marry a Hanmen untouchable, even if it is General Wu, who has made great achievements in the previous dynasty, no family is willing to marry a distant clan girl, not to mention us people from mud legs."

Liu Gan touched his beard: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, some things will change, not to mention that now that your soldiers are in the city, everything is up to you, no matter how bad you are in the future, you will be the founding prince, and it is not impossible to tear the soil and seal the king." The power in the hands of gold and silver is inexhaustible, and your children and grandchildren will also be a family with a high surname. ”

Qiu Xingzhi's eyes rolled: "You are so powerful, you sell women and relatives so high-soundingly, we are ashamed of ourselves!" Hahahaha"

All of a sudden, all the generals in the tent burst into laughter.

"What is this family, even the women in his own family can't be saved, it seems that we are still mud legs."

"No, no, no, the girls of this big family are too squeamish, what's the use of me waiting to marry?"

"Fool, wouldn't it be enough to hire some more slaves, so much gold, silver and cloth will be divided, and you will spend it alone?"

Liu Gan lowered his head and listened to their laughter and conversation, secretly rejoicing in his heart, it seems that what Xiao Shan said is right, there is no one who will not be bought.

Then, outside the tent, some soldiers kept running in, saying that there were some letters from the city to be handed over to the battalion generals.

Most of the people were illiterate, so they handed over all the letters to Qiu Xingzhi, Qiu Xingzhi read a few, and hurriedly threw them into the brazier and burned them: "Order, if there are such letters, burn them directly!" ”

But at this time, it was too late, and Wei Meng rushed over angrily with hundreds of soldiers and horses: "You Central Plains people are too cunning, there are still so many gold and silver treasures in the city, but you hide it from us, call me Zhu Yaoshi out!" ”

Zhu Yaoshi was coming back with Xiao Shan, and when he saw Wei Meng, he smiled: "General Wei, don't be angry, I thought that the imperial court also negotiated terms with you in private, so I didn't disturb you, if you have any requirements, just tell Lord Xiao from the imperial court."

Wei Meng was also direct, and when he opened his mouth, he asked for the same sky-high price as Pharmacist Zhu, but Xiao Shan agreed to it, and even Pharmacist Zhu was surprised. Xiao Shan turned his head: "King Yan, everything in this Jinling City depends on you, and when the time comes, all the gold, silver and cloth will be handed over to King Yan first, and King Yan will distribute it." Xiao went back to his life first! ”

Yao Shi Zhu already understood what Xiao Shan meant, this was to provoke him and the Goryeo soldiers and horses to fight each other, and he must have killed Xiao Shan before. But now Pharmacist Zhu's mind is different, it is always inappropriate for this Goryeo soldiers and horses to keep gold and silver, not to mention that his subordinates also have many complaints.

After Xiao Shan and Wei Meng left, Qiu Xingzhi told Zhu Yaoshi about the letter, asking Zhu Yaoshi to be careful, the families in this city are indeed disturbing the morale of the army outside the city, and maybe some troops will be bought. Pharmacist Zhu nodded: "Yes, without further ado, we still have to force them to send the prince and gold and silver out as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." As for their own people, who covet gold and silver, and let them be, now is the time to employ people, and there can be no internal strife."

A big deal has just been negotiated here, and Tuyuhun in the west has also ushered in the credentials of Gao Changguo.

Gao Changguo's national letter is dozens of pages, and Murong Longsoul and Murong Yuanzhong read it together for a few hours before they can see that Gao Changguo wants to make peace with Tugu Hunbu, and he wants to marry Murong Qing by name. The last few sentences of this national letter are: "If it is inconvenient for your ministry to send relatives, I will bring 100,000 yuan to marry!" ”

Murong Longsoul and Murong Yuanzhong had a rare tacit understanding, and they tore up the national letter together and told the envoy: "Gaochang Yuer is a small country, if you want to fight, let's fight!" ”

The envoy of Gaochang State sneered: "My Gaochang Kingdom has few people, but we still have the soldiers and horses of the Green Flag Khanate to help, King Bailan and the Prime Minister of the State refuse to make peace today, I am afraid that I will regret it tomorrow!" ”

The envoy turned around and was about to leave, when Murong Ling came in from outside and swung the envoy in two with a knife.

Murong Longsoul was shocked: "This, you kill him, this is a declaration of war, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter!" It is true that Gao Changguo is not worried, but this Green Flag Khanate has a large number of soldiers and generals, and when the time comes, how will we deal with it? ”

Murong Yuanzhong also stood up: "Actually, let's just find a woman to pretend to be Qing'er and marry her, and then change Qing'er's name, patriarch brother, your knife is happy, most of our Tugu Hun can't keep it!" ”

Murong Ling sneered: "Our ancestors left us to this day, did they let us learn from others to make a living by selling women?" Gaochang came today to ask for one, tomorrow Daliang will come again, and the day after tomorrow Mobei will come again, how many women can I leave in Tugu Hunbu? A man who can't even protect his own daughter and sister is not worthy of the surname Murong! ”

This speech was impassioned, and everyone couldn't refute it, Li Xiaofei also walked in and applauded: "This is the most exciting thing I heard this year, in my heart, your Murong family has always been very arrogant and cold, if you coax it, I, Li Xiaofei, really want to dig out my heart to see if I am blinded by something!" Murong Ling, I'll support you! ”

Murong Yuanzhong stomped his foot: "It's easy to say bold words, but if Gaochang and the Green Banner Khanate kill from the north and the east together, we won't be able to deal with it at all!" ”

Li Xiaofei immediately answered: "According to my personal experience with Murong Ling, after the Green Flag Khanate took Guanzhong, he only wanted to plunder the land of Henan to the east, and he had no intention of coming to the west, and the Gaochang Kingdom was smaller than us, so there was nothing to be afraid of."

Murong Yuanzhong still didn't believe it: "Having said that, if the Green Flag Khanate comes towards the west, how can we resist?" ”

Murong Ling thrust the long knife into the ground: "What's so difficult about this, let's first lead the troops to Huangshui with great fanfare, threatening to attack Ganzhou and then enter Chang'an, and see how they move." If they dare to come, I will cut off the heads of their vanguard on the banks of the river to repel the enemy! ”

Everyone looked at Murong Ling, and no one doubted what Murong Ling said, but Murong Yuanzhong was still not at ease: "Then how can Gaochang in the north be prepared?" ”

Li Xiaofei arched his hand: "Don't we still have more than 1,000 new trainees?" I've had enough of them with me! ”

Murong Long Soul also stood up: "Can these more than 1,000 people really stop the Gaochang people?" ”

Li Xiaofei smiled: "What I want is not to block, I am also like Murong Ling, take the initiative to attack, I will take more than 1,000 people to fight Gaochang!" ”

"There is no joke in the army, Manager Li, you have to think about it!"

"A thousand people destroy a country, this is too exaggerated!"

Everyone was a little unconvinced, but Murong Ling spoke: "I believe him!" ”

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Murong Ling continued: "If I go to Huangshui first, I will definitely be able to catch the Green Flag Khanate by surprise, so that they will focus on defense in the east, and they will not be able to take care of Gaochang Kingdom." What's more, I know very well the combat power of the ghost sheep cavalry, and I can fight Gaochang soldiers with one enemy and ten! ”

With the affirmation of the patriarch Murong Ling, the spirit of these thousands of ghost sheep knights was high, and the original worries were all dispelled, just waiting for Murong Ling to defeat the enemy army in Huangshui first and then follow Li Xiaofei to attack Gaochang.
