After coming out of Kuizhou City, Hu Shangwen galloped all the way and hurriedly returned to Monk An.

info "Wow, Hu nerd, you're okay, you've done a good job of messing with Widow Qin so quickly!" ”

Monk An opened his mouth to laugh and punched Hu Shangwen hard in the shoulder.

Hu Shangwen dodged his huge fist, but shook his head again and again: "Monk An, don't make trouble, this prisoner is not in the mood to joke with you." Now that the work of Qin Liangyu's department has been completed, then I will go to see that Zhang Xianzhong again now. ”

Monk An smiled, and his face changed to a serious color: "Old Hu, Zhang Dog Thief is ruthless, and he is ruthless, you go, be careful." ”

Hu Shangwen said awe-inspiringly: "Battalion Commander Xie An cares, and Hu knows." This is man-made, and how can it be feared and avoided? Moreover, if this matter can be negotiated with Zhang Thief, most of the people in Sichuan will be able to survive because of our army's move in the future, and Hu will not avoid his death. ”

"What an old beard! I really didn't see that although you are a civil official, you are so chivalrous! Then you go, remember, after you come back from your dog's day, Lao Tzu will pour you to death with wine! ”

Monk An said with emotion, and patted Hu Shangwen's skinny shoulder heavily.

Hu Shangwen and his entourage, carrying a messenger's flag, stood a stone's throw away from Zhang Xianzhong, and then shot an arrow book.

Immediately, a rogue soldier picked up the arrow book and quickly took it to Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong opened the arrow book, naturally he didn't recognize half a word, his face was stunned, he threw the letter to Sun Kewang next to him, and drank in a low voice: "What Tang Jun said in this arrow book, you can tell this king quickly." ”

Sun Kewang sighed, then opened the arrow book, and read softly: "Our department came to rescue Kuizhou City under the order of Lord Li, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, and did not intend to plot against the eight kings. Our ministry is willing to send an envoy to discuss with your ministry so that the matter of the confrontation between the two armies can be resolved. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, it will also be a good thing for the officers and men of the two armies. If not, when my Tang army gathers together, when I fight with your subordinates, don't say anything unpredictable! ……”

"Hmph, this dog-induced Tang Army, in the past, defeated our army, killed my two brothers, Dingguo and Wenxiu, and now dares to shoot this letter to intimidate us, it's really hateful! Please give my father an order, let me immediately command a thousand cavalry, and go to capture all the Tang army envoys who came to deliver the letter, and present them to my command! ”

Ainengqi on the side looked angry and immediately asked for an order.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Kewang glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "Fourth brother, how to deal with this matter, my father has his own decision, why are you so anxious." ”

Zhang Xianzhong's face was awe-inspiring, but he said coldly to Sun Kewang: "Hopefully, according to your opinion, our army can discuss with the Tang army?" ”

Sun Kewang hung his head, but his eyes rolled a few times, and then he raised his head and said hurriedly: "Father, according to the child's opinion, our army should be able to talk to the Tang army." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Father, since the Tang army is willing to send envoys to discuss with our army, they must be short of troops now, and they want to confront our army, but they are not capable. On the other hand, because the Tang army is elite and prestigious, and the truth is unclear, and its strength is unpredictable, if our army wants to fight with it, I am afraid that it will also have many concerns. In this way, the Tang army and our army can be described as beating wolves with a hemp stick, and they are afraid at both ends. If the two armies do not want to face each other for a long time, it is the best choice for the two armies to negotiate peace. ”

"General Sun has a point."

Bai Wenxuan on the side also interjected: "The Tang army has come to raid from afar this time, although it is very fierce, but I am afraid that it will also be weak in the follow-up, and it will not be able to fight our army head-on." Although our army has a large number of troops, it also has the worry that the military rations will not continue, and it is difficult to fight with the Tang army for a long time. Therefore, in a situation where it is impossible for either side to destroy or defeat the other side at once, it is also a good choice to negotiate with them. ”

Zhang Xianzhong also nodded, and interjected in a low voice: "You two are reasonable." From the perspective of this king, this Tang Guogong Li Xiao, although he is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, has always acted independently, and Chongzhen Xiaoer cannot restrain him at all. Our army negotiated with them, but there was no need to worry that the Ming Dynasty court or official army would come to intervene. Okay, then the king will send Kewang and Wen Xuan to negotiate with the envoys of the Tang Army. ”

"The last will obey."

"The child obeys."

Soon, a stone's throw away from the Liukou army, a table was opened.

Hu Shangwen sat on one side, while Sun Kewang and Bai Wenxuan sat on the other side.

After everyone sat down and introduced each other, the superintendent Hu Shangwen took out a pack of Chinese brand cigarettes and handed one to each of them.

"General Bai, General Sun, try our army's Zhonghua brand cigarettes, the taste is quite good."

Hu Shangwen smiled, but he ordered one for himself first.

Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang glanced at each other, then lit the cigarette they had taken over with a flint and smoked it in the same way.

Sun Kewang has never smoked dry tobacco, he is still savoring this Chinese brand cigarette with a filter, how is it different from the hookah he has smoked, Bai Wenxuan next to him has been praised: "Yes, yes, this cigarette has a mellow taste, a long aftertaste, it is indeed a rare good cigarette, but I don't know, how much does your army sell for a pack?" Hu Shangwen stretched out a finger: "1 cent of silver." "Oh, these cigarettes are so expensive." Bai Wenxuan frowned, but finally nodded and said: "However, this cigarette tastes really good, and it also has a filter, and it is refreshing to suck, this 1 cent of silver is also worth the money." Hu Shangwen said with a smile: "If General Bai likes it, I will give you a 12-pack cigarette, but it doesn't hurt." After Hu Shangwen finished speaking, he took out two Chinese brand cigarettes from the accompanying package, and threw one at Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang. After Bai Wenxuan caught it, his face was happy, and he showed embarrassment: "Hu Jianfu, this, how to make ......" "It's just two cigarettes, how can I not make it." Hu Shangwen smiled and said: "As long as the agreement between you and my army is negotiated, don't say that a cigarette is just silk, wool, grain and other things, and it can also be traded." When Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang heard this, they unconsciously glanced at each other. Sun Kewang coughed lightly, and then said: "Supervisor Hu, now that you and I are officially negotiating, there is no need for so many polite words between you and me, just please have something to say." "Okay, General Zhang is a cheerful person." Hu Shangwen nodded, and threw an appreciative look at Sun Kewang: "General Sun, now that you and I are in the second army, it can be said that if you eat me, I can't eat you." If it is here, it will not be of much benefit to face each other for a long time, so the intention of my family, Lord Li, the Duke of Tang Guo, is that I hope that the two armies of you and me will be reconciled temporarily. Of course, Lord Li of Tang Guogong has always been benevolent and righteous, and he will never treat you badly. "Oh, what's the way not to be bad?" Sun Kewang asked. Hu Shangwen chuckled again: "General Sun, I also told you the truth, this Kuizhou City, if you really want to face each other for such a long time, you and I will only lose both armies." Therefore, my family Tang Guogong has made a decision, in order to show the sincerity of our army, I will give this Kuizhou City to your army. This generous gift is heavy enough, right? "Huh? No way? This important town in eastern Sichuan, Kuizhou, was given to our army like this? However, Bai Wenxuan quickly reacted, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Although Supervisor Hu said this, but after all, you have limited troops now, and I am afraid that there is a shortage of food and grass, but this Kuizhou City is no longer difficult to defend. Hu Shangwen laughed: "General Bai looks at the problem, why does he only know one and not the other." Our army has come to this place far away, if there is no perfect plan, how dare we sing the plan of the empty city in front of your army? Now in the city of Kuizhou, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers and horses of Qin Liangyu's army, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of our army. If you are going to wait for my army to run out of food, it will not be. Do you really think that our army will not send a large army to deliver grain in time, and second, to fight your army to the death? Hu Shangwen's words were false and real, half threatening, half truth, which made Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang both have solemn faces and fall into contemplation. Seeing that the two were silent, Hu Shangwen knew that they had been moved by his own words, and continued to say: "Two, if it really comes to this point, you and my two armies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to separate, and there is no possibility of reconciliation." Therefore, I think that it is better to turn the conflict into a jade silk in time, so that it is beneficial to both your and my armies. After Hu Shangwen finished speaking, Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang subconsciously glanced at each other. Then Bai Wenxuan nodded slightly, and said to Hu Shangwen: "Then Supervisor Hu, I want to hear later, what is your method of reconciliation?" "Oh, you guys listen, the condition of our army is that the Qin Liangyu Department in this Kuizhou City, as well as the tens of thousands of people in the city, will be taken away by us. Then, we will make up the goods for you according to the price per head, among them, adult men are worth 2 taels of silver each, adult women are worth 1 tael of silver each, and young and old are worth 0.5 taels per person. How, this price, it's real enough. Hu Shangwen said briskly. Listening to Hu Shangwen's offer, Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang both fell into a deep groan. This condition, as it sounds, is actually quite good. You must know that in the past, every time Zhang Xianzhong's troops captured the city, after the captivity was completed, those people, except for some of them who were coerced as new annexes, the rest of them were either killed, or used as human flesh and military food in the future, which can be described as extremely miserable. And it is best to exchange these useless and dying people for money and food that they are in desperate need. "Supervisor Hu, if my army asks for food to trade, will you also provide it?" Bai Wenxuan asked again. "Absolutely. However, now that the price of grain has skyrocketed due to years of war, if our army wants to trade with you, it can only be exchanged at the market price. Hu Shangwen said lightly. That's fine, as long as there's food. Bai Wenxuan said hurriedly, and turned his head to Sun Kewang: "I think the conditions of Supervisor Hu are acceptable. Hopefully, what do you think? Sun Kewang sighed softly: "I can accept it." Hu Shangwen said with a smile: "The two generals are really well-versed people. Our army hopes that in the future, no matter which city your army captures, the people in the city can try not to kill them, and our army can buy them at this price. You know, our army has brought a lot of money to your army by doing this. Hu Shangwen said that Bai Wenxuan Sun Kewang nodded frequently. At this time, Sun Kewang looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Hu Jianfu, the general inquired about a private matter, but I don't know, my two younger brothers, Dingguo and Wenxiu, are still in the world?" Hearing Sun Kewang's question, Hu Shangwen laughed: "General Zhang, you don't know anything." His two younger brothers, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, including another general, Feng Shuangli, were all reused by my Lord Li and were cited as confidants. Listening to Hu Shangwen's answer, Sun Kewang and Bai Wenxuan were both shocked. Isn't it, didn't Zhang Xianzhong say that Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others have all been killed by Li Xiao, why are they not dead, but they will be reused? Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, Hu Shangwen sighed and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Li Dingguo is already the chief general of Pingnan Town of my Tang Army, and he is making every effort to attack and open up the land of Nanyang, and Liu Wenxiu is the general of the Dingbei Battalion of my Tang Army, and he is defending against the Mongolian tribes on the Xuanfu North Road. Feng Shuangli, on the other hand, is the general of Andong Town of our Tang Army, who is on Sakhalin Island in Northeast Asia, resisting the invasion of the Manchu Tartars. These three people were all cited by Master Li as confidants and reused. And they, under the hands of Master Li, were able to display their talents, and since then, they have washed away their past suspicions and opened up territory for our Chinese people, which is really a good story in the world. Hu Shangwen said this, and he glimpsed that Sun Kewang and Bai Wenxuan showed an inexplicable blush on their faces, and their expressions were also very complicated and weird. Among the two people, Sun Kewang's mood is the most complicated. He originally thought that Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were dead, although there was no threat to his own son, he thought that they had been with him for many years, and this brotherhood was still more or less in his heart, so Sun Kewang sometimes recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and his heart would not feel sad. It's just that now he knows that Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are so favored under Li Xiao, one is the main general who single-handedly blocks one side to open up the South Seas, and the other is the general who guards the grassland and controls Mongolia. The current fame and status of the two of them are better than that of a nameless and worthless grass coward like himself, and he doesn't know how much stronger it is. From this point of view, my so-called elder brother is too far behind these two younger brothers. A trace of unspeakable jealousy swelled in Sun Kewang's heart. Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanhe. Who has written history for 10,000 years, looking for a marquis three thousand miles away. From ancient times to the present, what hot-blooded man does not yearn for such a heroic life, conquering thousands of miles, and expanding the extreme region. Sun Kewang is actually a person with a lot of personal shortcomings, he is suspicious, sometimes arrogant, narrow-minded, and jealous, but this does not mean that he is a rat who is willing to live a mediocre life, and is willing to be just a grass coward who wanders around. When Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang were embarrassed, Hu Shangwen looked at the faces on the other side, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that these two people still have a little bit of shame, maybe, they will encourage them more in the future, maybe one day, they will also come to Li Xiao. At this time, Sun Kewang coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Supervisor Hu, since the two younger brothers can meet the Maven and do so well in the Tang Army, I, as an elder brother, are also happy for them." Then so be it, I will go and negotiate with the king on the terms that you and I have negotiated, and if he agrees, our army can immediately let Qin Liangyu and the people of the whole city leave. "Okay, General Zhang is really a cheerful person, then Hu is here, waiting for the general's reply." "Well, please sit down for a while, and I'll go back to the Eight Kings later."
