On the first day of August, the Qi army's siege of Datong had lasted for a whole month, and the 100,000 troops who had come and gone with their soldiers and people had even formed a peculiar area outside the city under the walls of Datong.

Separated by a city wall, inside the city is the Datong Mansion still under the control of the Shihou, while outside the city is a typical Qi military camp and bazaar.

During this period, the Shihou army, which was extremely unconfident in its own combat effectiveness, naturally did not go out of the city to counterattack, and the Qi army, which had the best combat effectiveness in the world, did not launch a real siege battle.

However, there were Qi soldiers in their leisure time, and they once ran into Datong City to play around, and the Shihou soldiers who watched the gate did not stop them, and everyone was completely safe.

As if the two armies were not hostile sides.

This continued until the arrival of Zamuhe's envoy group, which brought with him documents to mediate the war between the Qi and Jin dynasties.

Xu Shiyang directly brought the envoy group to the city of Datong, and asked the envoy to stand on a high place and read the letter from Zamuhe to Xu Shiyang in front of everyone in the city.

The envoy of the Mughal people did not object, and he read aloud to Xu Shiyang and the soldiers and civilians inside and outside Datong City that the Grassland Tianhui Khan's views on the Qi Jin War:

In the letter, Zamuhe first reminded Xu Shiyang of the agreement reached between the two men only last year, and he demanded that Xu Shiyang at least abandon the siege of the city of Datong and guarantee Datong's status as a permanently neutral trade city between Qi and Mongolia.

Zamuhe's other request was that Xu Shiyang would guarantee the personal safety of the Eight Great Marquis, as they had been the Mughu's most loyal vassals for more than a decade, and as the Mughal Khan, he felt obligated to protect them.

Of course, if Xu Shiyang is unwilling, then Zamuhe will not forcibly protect the Eight Great Marquis - although it is easy to use, but the dog is always a dog, if it can be protected, it will be protected, if it can't be saved, it will not be distressed to kill it.

It's just that Zamuhe also wanted to get his share from the corpse of this loyal dog, and he proposed that the Qi and Meng families reach an agreement on the Marquis of Shanxi.

For example, except for Datong, which exists as a free trade city, the rest of the land can be given to the Qi state, but the children, families, population, and other wealth of the fourteenth marquis of the two provinces should be divided among at least half of the Mughal people.

To be precise, Zamuhe hoped to receive all the property of at least seven princes in Jin Province as compensation for the loss of the vassal of Shanshan Shihou.

If Xu Shiyang could agree to this, then Zamuhe promised to give up his support for the Shihou of Jin Province.

Speaking of this, the city of Datong was already silent, and everyone looked at the envoys of the Mughurs in surprise, even the soldiers of the Qi army couldn't believe that the Muguls gave up this lackey in Jin Province so easily.

Zamuhe's letter was not finished, and there was something else next, but Xu Shiyang didn't plan to give more time, he waved his hand, and the strong black whirlwind Li Kui jumped to the side of the Mengwu envoy in two steps, snatched the letter, and tore it directly to pieces.

"What are you going to do?" Meng Wuzheng asked dissatisfiedly, "Who gave you such a bold son?" I'm an envoy! ”

"You're a piece of shit!" Li Kui unceremoniously punched the envoy in the face, smashing him on his back and falling, with gold stars in his eyes and a long nosebleed.

Several of the envoy's guards drew their knives at the same time, wanting to step forward to rescue their master, but a platoon of guards beside Xu Shiyang silently drew their flintlock pistols and fired directly at the envoy's guards.

The dazzling flame flashed, and the guards fell in an instant like wheat slashed by a scythe.

Then the guards put away their pistols, drew their waist knives and stepped forward, calmly mending the knives on the ground one by one.

Li Kui completely ignored the small battle that happened around him, he fought vigorously, and simply rode on the main envoy, and his sandbag-sized fists kept hammering into the face of the mung vulture's big cake, making his face blurred with flesh and blood, the bridge of his nose collapsed, his eyes bulged, and he saw that he had more air out and less air in.

Seeing that the envoy was beaten to death by the Qi people, the deputy envoy of the Mengwu people shouted at Xu Shiyang in despair: "Your Royal Highness, the two countries will not be killed at war!" ”

Xu Shiyang folded his hands and watched with interest as Li Kui kept beating the so-called "envoys", completely ignoring the meaning of the deputy envoys.

After a long time, Xu Shiyang nodded and motioned for the other guards to step forward and pull Li Kui away.

Someone slashed off Meng Wuzheng's bloody head and threw it at the feet of the deputy envoy.

"This is Lone's answer to your Great Khan."

Xu Shiyang smiled and said:

"Lone promised that he would be able to get the implementation to the letter, and the trade between the two countries was still in Datong, and Lone guaranteed the safety of merchants."

"But the recovery of Shanxi is the internal affair of our Han people, and it is not his turn to intervene, if you dare to say more, you don't write letters, and directly use the saber to negotiate with Gu."

"By the way, tell Zamuhe again, the lone soldier buried that fool named Batu in the ravine, and he doesn't have to worry about it."

As soon as Xu Shiyang's words fell, several guards stepped forward, ignoring the struggle of the deputy envoy, forcibly stripped him of essence, and then tied him upside down to a donkey.

Someone tied the head of the envoy and hung it in front of the deputy envoy, and expelled him from the country.

With the exception of this lieutenant, all the remaining members of the Mughal envoys were summarily executed.

Xu Shiyang slapped Zamuhe in the face in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians inside and outside Datong City, and more importantly, he conveyed his determination to the people in the city - don't expect to rely on the support of the Muguls to resist the Qi army.

What's more, Zamuhe's letter was indeed unexpected by the Shihou - he actually proposed that the Qi and Meng families divide the wealth of the Shihou, without taking into account the loyalty of the Shihou of Jin Province to the Mengwu for more than ten years.

This kind of behavior of forgetting righteousness for the sake of small profits is actually consuming Zamuhe's credit, not to mention the imminent collapse of the Jin Province, any force that wants to take refuge in the Muguls in the future must think carefully about whether they will be sold by Zamuhe.

Moreover, in the future, the media group controlled by Xu Shiyang will continue to publicize Zamuhe's letter everywhere, so as to deepen the impression in the minds of other forces that Zamuhe and the Mughurs like to be treacherous.

In this way, when there is energy to turn around and clean up the Mugul, the war will be fought a little easier.

Of course, it is not yet time to see the results, and Xu Shiyang's approach under Datong City is still to cut off one of the last two hopes of the world.

The only thing they can count on now is the support of the Great Zhou - militarily the Great Zhou is certainly more unreliable, but politically it is the opposite.

After all, the state of Qi is still nominally still part of the Great Zhou for now.

In fact, Xu Shiyang was also waiting for the reaction of the Jiangnan court, and he needed to show in front of everyone that the court oppressed the "loyal people" for the traitors, which was very important for the Qi state to justifiably leave the imperial court.

Of course, this must be the case if the imperial court does this.

However, with Xu Shiyang's understanding of the Zhao family, they would almost certainly do so.
