Chapter 202: Peace Talks

Qin Boyong only secretly accepted the people saved by Gu Muzhi, and as for the others, he did not interfere and just watched from the wall.

The war between the imperial court and the mother clan intensified, and as the territory gradually dwindled, there was a clear shortage of soldiers in the army.

It is not easy to recruit soldiers, buy horses, and collect grain - most of the soldiers are teenagers who have just passed the age of ten, and the horses are also old horses and thin horses, and the grain is better, although it is old grain, it can be eaten.

It's just that I pity those women and children, watching her husband and young son leave home and don't know when they will return, they have no food, their hungry faces are yellow and thin, and their eyes are full of tears.

"That mother clan is too deceitful, and I think all the ministers have heard about the rumors in the city!"

The bright yellow hall had long lost its former luster, and the young emperor sat on a high place and cowered and did not dare to speak. At some point, there were many more seats in the main hall, and the elders of the courtiers and powerful people all sat on the seats and talked about what they had heard in the city in recent days and how to deal with the war.

"Lord Chu said that it was the atrocities of the mother clan against the people?" The big-bellied officials are brightly dressed, and the solemn official mansion is decorated with a lot of gems.

“……”

The ministers chatted for a long time, and somehow mentioned the king of Yong, Qin Boyong.

"I think it's best to let King Yong attack the mother clan, so that we can reap the benefits."

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded in agreement. But there were also several ministers who shook their heads and sneered.

"Why do you think that he Yong King came to help us, you must know that this country should have been his. It's good if people don't turn around and beat us to rob the country, are you stupid when he is the king? ”

"This ......"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, but it was ...... Before, Qin Boyong also said that he was sick and recuperated and refused to fight his mother's family, how could he go now?

Before, it was just to see that the power of the mother clan was about to overwhelm the imperial court, and Fang stopped as soon as he stabilized.

"How's that okay?" Some of the courtiers looked panicked and looked at the dragon chair. As a result, what came into his eyes was just a little emperor who was shaking his body and lowering his forehead.

"Your Majesty, why don't we send someone to negotiate peace with King Yong. I don't ask King Yong to send troops to help, but I ask King Yong to defend one side alone and not attack the court in turn. ”

"This ...... Just listen to the adults. When the little emperor heard this, his expression was shocked, and he almost cried. The ministers above the main hall, he didn't recognize them at all. I only remember the scene when my father sent him to the palace that day, and a few instructions asking him to agree with what the minister said.

Soon, the ministers introduced a man of mediocre ability to come and go to negotiate peace with King Yong.

At this time, Qin Boyong was in the military camp, and these were all good brothers who lived and died with him. In the face of the increasingly fierce war between the court and the mother clan, they have long been itching.

And what Qin Boyong has to do is to appease them, after all, fighting a war is not just a bloody battle. Think about how to win, how to win beautifully, and how to lose the least.

"Guys, I know what you think. Nowadays, three forces are competing for the world, and we are the strongest one. Even in the face of the joint attack of the imperial court and the mother clan, it will be easy to take them down, but if so, we will also face life and death. Rather than that, why not wait for the two of them to be exhausted and reap the benefits. ”

Qin Boyong's words calmed down the soldiers who had long been enthusiastic and wanted to become famous in a fight, but there were still some objections.

"King Yong, aren't we going to be shrunken turtles! It's not that I'm afraid of death, and it's not that I don't have that strength, so it's better to fight directly than to shrink like this. so as not to make the world laugh at them. ”

There is some truth in what he said, and the hearts of the soldiers who had just been appeased by Qin Boyong immediately boiled again.

"Hit? Why do we fight? It is because the power is in power and the people are not happy, but now we are not facing two simple teams. In what name do we fight? In the eyes of outsiders, I am still a member of the court, and what can we get in exchange for bloodthirsty fighting? The tragic death of brothers, and the world fought for others? ”

"But we can't watch the people suffer without suffering!"

Many of the soldiers had taken refuge in the country, and their relatives might be oppressed by the court or their mother clan somewhere. Compared to those who came from Jingzhou, they were the most anxious.

"This ......" Qin Boyong also thought about this situation, but unfortunately this is unsolvable. If they make a move now, they will win badly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you're worried about your family. I'm the same, but war needs to be considered in the long run. We are doing it now, and those people will not be rescued immediately. Endure for a moment for a greater victory, everyone understands this truth. I, Qin Boyong, have never been a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and you all know it. ”

In the face of these soldiers, Qin Boyong's words were never stingy. appeased the soldiers, and the people sent by the imperial court also came to Qin Boyong.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, we are here to negotiate peace with you."

Looking at the thief-eyed courtier in front of him, Qin Boyong felt a little bored in his heart.

Now that the war is tight, even the leader of his side is wearing coarse linen clothes, and this courtier is wearing brocade clothes, but I don't know how much ink is in this belly, right?

"You say, what you say satisfies the king, and the king will agree." Qin Boyong knew the courtier's thoughts, but he didn't expect to find him so soon.

Is it that you can't hold on anymore, or do you want to leave yourself alone? However, there were atrocities committed by the mother clan in the past, and this war should be beneficial to the imperial court.

Hearing Qin Boyong's self-proclaimed statement to the official, the soldiers who had not yet dispersed were shocked. King Yong called himself 'I' in front of these soldiers, but the courtier who faced the thief called himself 'this king'. When the news spread, King Yong's weight in the hearts of the soldiers became heavier. bluntly said that following King Yong will definitely achieve something.

The imperial court did not want Qin Boyong to interfere in the war, and he was agreeing with him. Qin Boyong pretended to agree when he got enough benefits, but in fact, he secretly buried the secret agents in the realm of the mother clan and the imperial court to find out about them.

He didn't plan to intervene in the war now, but he didn't prepare if he didn't bring it. Originally, there were spies, but now they just have more people.

Due to the tense war, the courtiers had already begun to oppress the people in order to fight, and the people were struggling to make a living. Although they are much more docile than their mothers, there are still many people who can't stand it.

The people of the Quartet began to revolt, forming another force in the form of a three-legged tripod. However, there was a wave of uprisings in the early days, and most of the rebels were taken in by the mothers.

Nowadays, the civil forces are not strong, and some are just people who are forced by life to resist in order to have a way out! As a result, many rebel armies were not well equipped in terms of manpower or equipment, and they were quickly defeated.

There were countless dead and wounded, most of them hid in the mountains and forests, and some people took the initiative to take refuge in Qin Boyong.
