After the occupation of Jinhua, with Jinhua as the point, the counties behind Zhangguo are not in a straight line, but there are two counties on both sides of Jinhua, and if you break through a Xiangshan County in front, you can go directly to Jinzhou, the capital of Zhang.

Now the question that Lu Chen and the generals of the Feng army are discussing is also how to march next, whether to ignore the counties on both sides of Jinhua and go straight to Jinzhou, or to attack the counties first, and then fight Jinzhou last.

Sima Wen and Liu Yuan's opinion was that they should not be in such a hurry, they should first attack the counties of Zhangguo around Jinzhou, and finally besiege Zhangdu.

The two of them said that in doing so, they could effectively divide all parts of Zhangguo into the territory of Fengguo, and if they were directly inserted into Jinzhou, the surrounding counties of Zhangdu would inevitably have other changes, and occupying the territory was the most important thing.

And Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi thought that they should go all out, go straight to Huanglong, and destroy its Zhang Kingdom in one battle! Otherwise, if the Zhang State is not destroyed, the war will continue to drag on, and if it is late, there will be changes, and I am afraid that other countries will interfere in this matter.

The opinions of both sides have their own truth, and just when Lu Chen was thinking about it, the guards outside the barracks came to report, saying that the envoy of Zhang Guo asked to see him.

At this time, Zhang Guo sent an envoy to see, no need to ask, it must be here to seek peace, Lu Chen waved his hand and said: "This problem, let's put it aside first, and then we will see Zhang Envoy first, perhaps, talking with Zhang Envoy, we can be more clear about the domestic situation in Zhang Guo." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly at the guard, motioning for him to bring the messenger in.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed as a civilian official walked in under the leadership of the Wind Army guards. As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed down towards Lu Chen, who was behind the handsome case, bowed his waist to the end, gave a deep salute, and said, "The envoy has seen His Royal Highness the Wind King. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Chen could say that he was exempt from courtesy, Liu Yuan was already angry and shouted: "The envoy is so rude!" Meet my king! Why not kneel!? ”

In the past, Zhang Guo looked at the country of wind, it was like looking at the hillbilly, and his envoy to the country of wind was also a high-spirited posture. It's just that this time is different from the past, and all the civil officials and military generals of the Wind Country still remember the fact that the king was newly married, and the envoy killed the minister of the Wind Country!

Until now, how can Liu Yuan not vent and vent to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

After hearing his words, the envoy of Zhang Guo suddenly looked embarrassed, to be honest, Zhang Guo has always regarded himself as a great power, and now he is being pressed by the wind army, and Zhang Guo is still unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, he also has the idea of being the envoy of a big country and the king of a small country.

Seeing that he hesitated and stood there without speaking, Liu Yuan became angry and asked again, "I'll ask you!" Although Zhang is a country, is it a member of our Central Plains Empire? ”

"This, this is of course." The envoy said.

"Since I am a member of the Central Plains Empire, then my king is the king of the Son of Heaven! You are a small envoy of the Zhangguo, even if the official position in the Zhangguo is high! Is there any reason not to kneel before the king!? Liu Yuan said urgently.

"This ......"

"Huh?" At this moment, Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Lord Liu, you don't have to be embarrassed. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the envoy of Zhang Guo and asked straight to the point: "What does the envoy mean when he comes here, you might as well speak up." ”

Hearing this, the envoy of Zhang Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Liu Yuan has been pressing step by step, according to the etiquette of the Central Plains Empire, he must also make a big salute in the face of the king of a country!

At this time, seeing that Lu Chen didn't care so much about this matter, he also became a lot more relaxed, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Wind King, I came here this time on the order of my king to make peace with His Royal Highness. ”

"Strike the army and make peace? Haha-"

When Lu Chen heard this, he looked up and smiled, and said: "When my Feng Country was barren, when you Zhang Guo led the army to forcibly occupy my Hedong, why didn't you see your peace?" Now I'm here to tell the king this!? What's more, when the Zhang army was evacuated from Hedong in our country, they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in our Feng Country with a fire! Destroy my city of bounty! How can this king give up!? ”

Lu Chen's answer was actually expected by the envoy, so he was not surprised, but continued: "His Royal Highness the Wind King is angry, it was indeed the fault of our army to burn down the Hedong County City at the beginning, and its masterminds Tang Cheng and Wang Dong have now been imprisoned, as long as His Royal Highness says a word, my country can immediately escort it to His Highness for disposal, and the reconstruction of Hedong County City, the cost of the cost, my country is also willing to bear it with all our might, I only hope that His Royal Highness can make peace with our country, and my country is also willing to form an alliance with the Wind Country." ”

Although his words were very good, Lu Chen was not satisfied, he destroyed a city and killed so many people, just rebuild it? How can there be such a good thing in the world!

And this time against the Zhang, the Wind Country has already lost more than 300,000 soldiers in the Zhangdi, how can it be so easy to retreat.

"Is it that simple?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Temple...... What does Your Highness mean? The envoy stammered and asked.

Lu Chen slapped the table and said angrily: "Are you called Hanako when you are the king!?" That's all I can do to send this king away!? And you Zhang Guo, you will fight when you say you, and you will make peace when you say peace? How old is King Zhang!? ”

At that time, the duty of the envoy was to bargain with other countries. The envoy said that rebuilding Hedong was of course only his minimum standard, and seeing Lu Chen angry at this time, he hurriedly said:

"Of course, if Your Highness is not satisfied with this, then the two counties of Anze and Jinhua occupied by your army, and my Zhang Kingdom is also willing to cede to your country, and in order to show sincerity, my king is also willing to compensate a large amount of gold and silver, silk, and horses......

Yo! As soon as he said this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but take a breath, and people looked at each other, and they all felt that the conditions set by Zhang Guo were already very generous, and they were enough to move people's hearts.

But Lu Chen sneered and said, "Anze, the two counties of Jinhua have already been occupied by our Feng Army, strictly speaking, they already belong to the territory of my Feng Country!" Why do you need to cede your country!? Moreover, you wait for the Zhang army, act against the sky, and burn my county town! It is also a matter of course to rebuild Hedong and compensate for gold and silver! These conditions opened by the envoy are not enough to impress this king! ”

"Then, His Royal Highness the Wind King, how can I be willing to withdraw my troops?" The envoy asked tentatively.

Lu Chen didn't think about it, so he said directly: "If you want this king to withdraw from the army, you can, but in addition to the above conditions set by the envoy, Zhang Guo must also cede the land of the two counties to our country, so that this king can make peace with Zhang Guo, otherwise, the army will definitely go straight to Jinzhou!" ”

"What!? Cut two more counties!? Hearing this, the envoy's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This, His Royal Highness the Wind King is inevitably a little too deceitful......"

"Humph! This king is now pressing you Zhang Guo to fight! What's wrong!? Lu Chen said categorically.
