Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 73 Dismount (Chapter 5)
December 22.
Today's snow is unusually heavy, the ground is thick with white snow, and the summer river is flowing endlessly, and now the ice has formed a thick layer.
Sima Daozi was wearing a cool spring shirt, sitting on a wide open-topped sedan chair, sipping five stones, and there were two maids beside him who kept fanning him.
Sima Daozi turned his head to look at Feng Gai and Chen Zong, who were riding horses on both sides of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart: If you want to say that these five stones are scattered, it's really a good thing, look at Feng Gai and Chen Zong, those two idiots are so thick and long-winded. Look at this king again, wearing a spring shirt is so hot that he is sweating, this is the benefit of dispersion!
Sima Daozi looked forward again, and he could already faintly see the water, almost there. He said happily: "After today's peace, this king is the great hero of the Great Jin Dynasty who turned the tide, this is really a great joy!" ”
Feng Gai and Chen Zong didn't speak, these two people were rare heroes, and they were faintly worried in their hearts. It's a good thing that Tyrannical Qin is willing to negotiate peace, but the imperial court sent an idiot like Sima Daozi to be an envoy, so he wasn't afraid of being killed by his pig teammates?
As far as Sima Daozi is concerned, can he fight the Qin people at the negotiation table? Chen Zong and Feng Gai both knew it in their hearts, and the two of them made up their minds that they would not say a word about the peace this time, and let Sima Daozi go to the waves, so as not to take the blame for accidents in the future.
Since Qian Zong sent back the news that the former Qin agreed to negotiate peace, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was ecstatic, and the Jin Emperor Sima Yao immediately appointed his younger brother Sima Daozi, the king of Langya, as the minister of peace and went to Huishui to negotiate peace. In the past few months, Feng Gai has gradually emerged under Sima Daozi, and this time Sima Daozi became the minister of the council, so he played Sima Yao and asked for the identity of a deputy envoy for Feng Cai.
In addition to Feng Gai, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were meritorious in spreading the word, and they were also made a deputy envoy, which was regarded as giving him a chance to drink soup with him.
As a result, the conference team with Sima Daozi, the king of Langya, as the minister, Feng Gai and Qian Zong as the deputy envoys, plus a number of officials from the Ministry of Rites, was formally formed.
Sima Yao didn't know the virtue of his younger brother, but he was also very helpless, and it was completely helpless to choose Sima Daozi as the minister of peace. According to the news that came back from Qian Zong, the minister of peace on the former Qin side was the eldest prince Fu Pi!
The former Qin sent a prince, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty at least had to send a prince, right? But Sima Yao's eldest son, Sima Dezong, has just turned one year old now......
If you want to benchmark the great prince of the former Qin, Sima Yao's younger brother Sima Daozi, the king of Langya in the Great Jin Dynasty, is undoubtedly the best candidate for peace. At least in terms of identity, Qianqin can't find fault.
Sima Daozi knocked on the five stones while advancing towards the water, and from time to time he put his fat palm into the maid's clothes and swam away.
Xie Xuan had already organized the Jin army on Bagong Mountain to form a formation and stood in front of Sima Daozi. When Sima Daozi walked over, Xie Xuan saw him teasing the ugliness of the maid with an umbrella, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
The sedan chair stopped, and Sima Daozi noticed Xie Xuan who was blocking the road, and he said in disgust: "This king was edicted to go to Huishui to negotiate peace, why did the general of the chariot and cavalry block the way?" ”
Xie Xuan said: "In the end, I will send the prince to the prince, and the matter of negotiating peace is related to my great Jin national fortune, and I hope that the prince must be dedicated." The rise and fall of the Great Jin Dynasty depends on the prince. ”
Sima Daozi pursed his lips, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "These kings know, I don't need you to teach them, get out of the way." If you delay the peace, can you afford it? ”
"In that case, the prince will please."
Xie Xuan sighed and turned to the side. The soldiers of Beifu also stood on both sides, making way for Sima Daozi and his party.
Watching Sima Daozi walk away, Liu Gaozhi sighed and said in Xie Xuan's ear: "The last general will see that this King Langya is really incompetent, can he negotiate peace smoothly?" ”
Xie Xuan lowered his head in pain and said in a low voice: "The general does not agree with the peace, if the peace negotiation fails, it is a big deal that you and I will lead the troops to fight to the death with the tyrannical Qin and sacrifice our lives for the country." I am afraid that King Langya will sign a covenant under the city and lose his power and humiliate the country! ”
Wet water.
Thousands of Qin troops stood quietly on the north bank of the river, and a number of tables and chairs had been placed on the river. The table was in the middle of the river, three feet wide and several feet long! This was specially created by Pei Sheng Qin, and the Qin people and the Jin people sat on one side to facilitate negotiations.
The former Qin's delegation was already seated, but there were only a dozen or so people, headed by Pei Shengqin. plus several generals of the Tiance Army, several cronies arranged by the eldest prince, several officials of the Ministry of Rites sent by the imperial court, and two deacons of the Blue Fly Division.
Sima Daozi's sedan chair landed on the south bank of the river, Sima Daozi got up, shook his fat body, and waved his hand to take the Eastern Jin Dynasty delegation to the ice.
Xie Xuan led the elite soldiers of the Beifu to set up a position on the south bank of the river, far away from the Qin army on the north bank.
It was indeed the most suitable place for negotiation on the river, which could fully ensure the safety of the Qin and Jin missions. Today, the ice on the river is hard, but it can only accommodate two missions. If the armies of either side dared to rush forward and set foot on the river, they were afraid that the ice would immediately crack, and then the two missions would have to sink under the water together to feed the fish, and no one would be able to please them.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty envoy approached, but at a distance of one hundred and ten paces, Sima Daozi was already out of breath. He casually glanced at the former Qin envoy across the table, and said in a loud voice: "This king is Sima Daozi, the king of Langya of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is edicted to negotiate peace. ”
Unexpectedly, the people who came to negotiate peace this time were still acquaintances, Pei Shengqin smiled slightly, pointed to the seats set up on the south side of the table, and said, "Jin envoy, please take a seat." ”
Sima Daozi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pulled a chair and sat down, gasping for breath twice, only then did he have the mood to look up at the former Qin Mission.
"Ah, it's you, Pei Shengqin!"
Seeing Pei Shengqin sitting upright, Sima Daozi exclaimed. When he fought for many days in Huiji City, Pei Shengqin made a very deep impression on him. Later, Pei Shengqin's movements became bigger and bigger, and Sima Daozi couldn't forget it.
Pei Shengqin said with a smile: "King Langya, you will say goodbye, don't come to harm!" ”
When it comes to Huiji, this sentence is a bit provocative, but Sima Daozi has a low IQ and doesn't hear it.
Sima Daozi looked at Pei Shengqin strangely, and then at the people around Pei Shengqin, and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the eldest prince of your dynasty is responsible for negotiating peace, why are you here?" ”
Sima Daozi looked at the other people in the former Qin mission, and none of them looked like the former Qin prince. What's more, Pei Shengqin is still sitting on the main seat in the center, and it is obvious that he is the leader of this peace meeting.
Pei Shengqin smiled faintly and said casually: "Oh, I occasionally feel a cold wind in His Highness, and I specially ordered this Marquis to be responsible for negotiating peace with your court." ”
Although he agreed to hand over the matter of peace to Pei Shengqin, Fu Pi originally wanted to come over and have a look. However, Pei Shengqin refused, and Fu Pi finally only sent a few cronies to watch. Fu Deng wanted to come over and have a look, but he was also refused, Pei Shengqin's purpose was very simple, that is, to give the Eastern Jin Dynasty mission a disadvantage.
No matter how stupid Sima Daozi is, such an obvious thing can be seen. Since the former Qin said that he would send the prince to negotiate peace, he should naturally guess that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would also send a royal family of the same status to come, which is the basic etiquette. As a result, the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent a prince, but the prince of the former Qin did not come forward, and only sent a marquis to deal with it. Doesn't the implication imply that the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is only worthy of being compared with the marquis of the former Qin. Although the title of the former Qin is indeed worth more than the title of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the gap is not so huge.
Obviously, this is a dismount!
Sima Daozi's face darkened, but he didn't dare to attack, but he was a little more afraid in his heart. He secretly said in his heart: Tyrannical Qin acted like this, and this king was only afraid that he would be troubled today, how could this be good!
Chen Zong and Feng Gai naturally saw Pei Shengqin, and they also saw that Sima Daozi was majestic as soon as he came, but they were very smart and didn't speak. Chen Zong was dissatisfied with the Eastern Jin Dynasty court, wishing that Sima Daozi would make a fool of himself, who let the court forcibly send him to the violent Qin to take the lead, and who let him win the opportunity to negotiate peace but let Sima Daozi pick peaches! As for Feng Gai, he knew Sima Daozi too well, and knew that this waste wood prince was going to cause trouble, and the chance of taking the blame after remaining silent at this time was smaller.
However, Feng should not want to speak, but Pei Shengqin did not intend to ignore this first strong enemy he encountered in his life.
Pei Shengqin smiled and said provocatively: "The last time we met at Huiji, General Feng was just a guest in the Langya Palace, and if you see you today, you have become the deputy envoy of the council. Ben Hou would like to congratulate General Feng on his prosperity! It's a pity that the reception was not good two months ago, and General Feng was not invited to Daqin as a guest. ”
Feng Cai glared at Pei Shengqin viciously, and sighed slightly in his heart. A few months ago, Pei Shengqin was just a shameless thief in his eyes, but today, the other party has already made a marquis and will become famous all over the world, but he only has a little bit of fame under Sima Daozi's hands. The identities of the two are very different.
At this time, Feng should not be the hero who drew his sword to kill the Qin Emperor three years later, and his iron and stone liver and gallbladder have not yet been exercised. The difference in identity made Feng Cai unable to raise any courage to contradict Pei Shengqin. Feng Cai suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Pei Hou, you are a nobleman, why tease a small character like me, you should talk to King Langya about peace with me." ”
Sima Daozi also reacted, and hurriedly echoed: "Feng should be right, Pei Hou, let's talk about peace!" ”
After a series of provocations and dismounts, Pei Shengqin's goal has actually been achieved, and the momentum of the Qin Dynasty mission has completely surpassed that of the Jin Dynasty mission at this moment.
In negotiations, momentum is naturally the key.
Pei Shengqin was satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Ben Hou was originally happy when he saw an acquaintance, so he chatted a few more words. Well, since King Langya is so anxious, let's get down to business. ”
