Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 71 Discussion of Peace (Chapter 3)
"The emperor's edict said: All living beings in the world are innocent, and although Jiangzuo lives in a remote and ugly place, he is also among them. For 30 years, the Quartet was slightly determined, repairing peace and good neighborliness, and the left side of the Guy River repeatedly peeked into the king's realm, plundered the people of the Heavenly Empire, and then raised troops to destroy it. Now he has remorse and a desire to beg for peace, Great Qin is not a country that bullies the weak, and I am not a king of reckless soldiers. Li Yuan should be cared for, Yi Di should be peaceful, and this will be my ambition. Qin ordered the emperor's eldest son, Fu Pi, to be the minister of peace and oversee the affairs of peace. β
Qi Qing read the holy decree, sighed slightly, closed the holy decree in his hand, and handed it to Fu Pi: "Your Highness, take the decree." β
All the generals of the Qin Dynasty in Shouyang City knelt at the gate of the city at this moment to listen to the order, and Fu Pi knelt at the front.
Fu Pi clenched his teeth, the green tendons on his head protruded, and he looked at Qi Qing viciously: "Up and down Shouyang, more than 200,000 soldiers, all of them are already waiting for the day, waiting for the day to set out and set foot in the Nanban." Dare to ask the green fly envoy, why did the court agree to negotiate peace, but there was a traitor who bewitched his father? β
All the generals have exploded, and the Shouyang Qin army has almost completed its deployment in the past few days, and is waiting to cross the river on a certain day. As for the envoys sent by the Eastern Jin Dynasty to sue for peace? No one took him seriously at all, Fu Pi put the man in prison as soon as possible, and only mentioned the matter lightly in the report to Emperor Qin. No one thought that Emperor Qin would agree to negotiate peace with the Nanban at this time!
Pei Shengqin found that he had seen Qi Qing a total of three times so far, and each time he was more shocked. The first time he saved his life under Liu Yu's knife, the second time he brought the decree of the marquis, but I didn't expect this time to be even more awesome, and he actually passed the decree to negotiate peace!
Pei Shengqin and Fu Deng exchanged glances, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. Pei Shengqin naturally knew that Emperor Fu Jian's lifelong wish was to mix one and six together and achieve an emperor through the ages. Now that the situation of the war in Weishui has reversed, it is a good time to destroy the Jin, and the front-line army has been deployed, and now it is suddenly said that it wants to negotiate peace? Pei Shengqin even thought about it now, did something happen to Xiang Cheng, could it be that Fu Jian was controlled by a traitor?
The traitors like the division of the world the most, and the prosperous environment of the great unification is not suitable for them to stir up the wind and rain, and a few traitors in the army should be very happy at this time. Murong Chui's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in the loudest and most trembling voice: "The water is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed." The last general is thinking about it all the time, he wants to drive a long car and step through the lack of Bagong Mountain! How can the court negotiate peace, how can it negotiate peace! β
As he spoke, Murong Chui squeezed out tears. Murong De, Murong Chong and several other generals from the Kanto Murong clan were puzzled, but when they saw that Murong Chui was crying, they didn't say anything, let's cry along. In the reactionary small organization of the Murong clan in the Kanto region, Murong Chui is the most prestigious, and he is also a veritable "second master", and the traitors who were born in the Murong clan in the Kanto region basically take him as the leader. The "boss" of this small organization is naturally the emerging candidate Murong Wei, after all, this is the former Emperor Yan, and this bit of face still has to be given, but the actual leader is still Murong Chui.
The traitorous ministers such as Begging Fu Guoren, Duan Ye, and Zhai Liao on the side, at first glance, the traitors of the Murong clan in Kanto were crying, and there was a trace of confusion. Aren't we traitors, this is a great joy, what are those little brothers crying about? But they suddenly found that Qi Qing looked at those Murong clan generals with a little more respect, and he understood in his heart. Murong Chui is planning to pass on his loyal image to the ears of Emperor Qin through his eyes and mouth! The whole dynasty knew that he was a traitor, and it didn't matter, and Emperor Qin thought that he was a loyal minister.
Murong Chui of this dog day, his brain is the light, and he deserves to be a traitor! So all the traitors beat their chests and cried out, even louder than the voices of the loyal ministers. The most excessive thing was Duan Ye with a crooked mouth, he actually climbed to the feet of Qi Qing, hugged Qi Qing's calf, and cried: "Lord Qi, please tell Your Majesty that the last general Duan Ye wants to kill the Southern Barbarians, be loyal to the country, and do his best for the Great Qin Dynasty!" If there is a difficulty in the imperial court, the last general is willing to take the Duan family army to cross the river to fight and expand the territory for our Great Qin Dynasty. β
Among the generals, Pei Shengqin is very qualified and did not yell and scream, since the will has been made, crying naturally cannot change the ending, as for these sad generals, who is loyal and who is traitorous, Pei Shengqin naturally has a number in his heart. He has a lot of respect for his loyal ministers, and he treats those who pretend to be traitors like clowns. For example, Duan Ye, who is crying all day in the dark... Won't your conscience hurt when you rebel later?
This industry is the founding emperor of Beiliang in history, he was originally a general under Du Jin, and Du Jin served under the Western Regions capital Hulu Guang. In the eighteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, LΓΌ Guang was edicted to conquer the Western Regions, Du Jin transferred most of his soldiers and horses to follow LΓΌ Guang's expedition to the west, and the small number of troops left behind were managed by Duan Ye, and Duan Ye was requisitioned to participate in the Battle of Weishui. At this time, Duan Ye's status was only the younger brother of Lu Guang's younger brother, and it was not conspicuous. However, in history, Duan Ye later followed LΓΌ Guang to create the rebellion of the former Qin, and after LΓΌ Guang established Houliang, Duan Ye was already in the Houliang official residence. Then, this product actually made Houliang's anti again, this time he became the emperor himself and established Beiliang.
There are many loyal ministers in the temples of the former Qin, and there are also many thieves, just what Pei Shengqin has seen, there are more than a dozen people who have made the former Qin in history and oppose themselves as emperors. In this regard, Pei Shengqin has long been surprised, and he will find a way to clean up the big villains like Tuoba Jue, Murong Chui, Yao Chang, and Lu Guang, except for a few big villains, most of the other "emperors" are made by heroes created by the times, as long as there is no special historical environment, they are actually not emperors. Therefore, Pei Shengqin saw that Duan Ye was so brazen, and he didn't bother to demolish him, pouting, and he didn't see it.
Everything has to have a degree, and it's not good if it's over. Originally, everyone expressed their indignation at the peace talks, and it was very likely that Qing Qing would inform Emperor Qin of the big guy's "loyalty", which would be good. But the performances of the traitors were more exaggerated than one another, and Qi Qing gradually saw that something was wrong, she looked down at Duan Ye, who was holding her calves and crying like a dead mother, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and then kicked out.
"Bump!"
Duan Ye flew out upside down, fell a dog and ate, only to hear Qi Qing say coldly: "General Duan really wants to be so patriotic, so lead the troops to cross the river, and wait for General Duan to exterminate the Southern Barbarians, and the envoy will make a contribution to you." β
Duan Ye was just talking and playing, he was the weakest in this group of generals, if he really wanted to let him cross the river by himself, wouldn't the two thousand soldiers and horses he had in hand go over to give people away? Seeing that Qi Qing seemed to really plan to let him send his head, Duan Ye immediately lowered his head, pretended to be a dead dog, and stopped talking.
Qi Qing swept away the generals who had exploded the pot, and saw Pei Shengqin and Fu Deng silently in it, as if they were thinking about something. Then he asked, "Don't Pei Hou and King Nan'an have anything to say?" β
Pei Shengqin smiled faintly: "There is a reason why the imperial court acts like this. Since Lord Ao himself came to announce the decree, he would naturally be responsible for the explanation. β
Fu Deng said: "What Pei Hou said is exactly what I want to say." β
Fu Pi also calmed down, looked at Qi Qing and said, "I want an explanation from the imperial court." β
Qi Qing looked around and confirmed that there was no one nearby except for a group of generals who listened to the order and a few green fly deacons she brought over, so she explained in a low voice: "It is not Your Majesty's intention to agree to peace, it is really a helpless move, Your Highness and the generals may not know it, there is a change in the north, Dugu Kuren killed Liu Weichen, controlled the seven counties outside the Saiwai with military might, and went south to the Great Wall......"
After listening to Qi Qing's story, everyone finally understood why the imperial court suddenly agreed to negotiate peace with the Nanban.
Fu Pi was silent for a moment, frowned, and said, "Half a year!" It only takes half a year for Lone to destroy the Nanban. Can't the north hold on for half a year? β
Qi Qing shook his head and said: "The north is extremely empty, the Great Wall has no troops to defend, and Dugu Kuren may attack the Great Wall at any time." β
Fu Pi thought for a while, and then said: "Dugu Kuren has not openly raised the anti-flag, which proves that he is still afraid of the imperial court, and his goal is only Tuoba. The imperial court handed over Tuoba Jue to him, and then ordered him to withdraw from the army, not believing that they dared to rebel after saving Tuoba Jue. β
Wang Guoan sighed: "Although they have not openly rebelled, they have also torn their faces with the imperial court, whether it is Tuoba Jue or Dugu Kuren, they all know that the imperial court will not tolerate them anymore." Sending back Tuoba Jue is just a delaying tactic, if the imperial army does not return north in time to deter, the day Tuoba Jue returns to Saiwai will be the time when he officially pulls the flag and rebels. β
Fu Pi said fiercely: "Then it is better to let my father return to the north with the hundreds of thousands of troops of Xiangcheng, and continue to conquer with the 200,000 troops of Shouyang, which is enough to defeat the southern barbarians." β
Fu Deng shook his head and said: "It will take at least a year and a half to capture Nanban, and at that time, Great Qin is very likely to fall into a two-front war, and the imperial court cannot afford it." β
A two-front war is not a simple question of one plus one equals two. In ancient times, the most serious problem that plagued the army was logistical supply. The cost of transporting two supplies to the same route is much less than the cost of transporting one supply to each of the two routes.
Fu Pi finally accepted the reality and sighed: "Well, the matter has come to this point, and we can only negotiate peace." β
