Chapter 786 - Silver Loss
Under the feudal dynasty, the hierarchy was strict, and the dignity and humility were distinct.
After Zhao Chuan was stunned for a moment, he immediately couldn't help it, he pointed at Shang Yuan on the spot, and roared sharply: "Shang Yuan!" What kind of bullshit are you! How dare I make my king bow to you! I'm going to kill you now! ”
In Zhao Chuan's heart, Lu Chen's status was undoubted, and while he roared angrily, he immediately pressed the handle of the knife on his waist with his hand.
With a stabbing sound, half of the war knife was drawn, and Shang Yu was also shocked on the spot when he saw this!
Lu Chen hurriedly pressed Zhao Chuan's hand and said to Shang, "Lord Shang, are you still satisfied now?" ”
"King!" Zhao Chuan said urgently.
And Shang Yuan, after making up his mind, said: "His Royal Highness the Wind King is generous, but General Zhao's attitude is ......"
When Lu Chen heard this, his face sank on the spot.
Seeing this, Shang Yu immediately shut up, and then accepted it when he saw it, and said with a dry smile: "Of course, Your Highness is generous, how dare you be rude." ”
As he spoke, he also bowed down, bowed to the end, and bowed to Lu Chen.
"Okay, Lord Shang, please rest, this king won't bother." As he spoke, Lu Chen also shook his head slightly at Zhao Chuan, signaling him to leave here with him.
Zhao Chuan was helpless, and while slamming half of the battle knife back into the sheath, he also glared at Shang Yuan, and then left with Lu Chen.
After he left, Shang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he had palpitations.
He is a messenger and is not afraid of death, because he thinks that he can reason with the Wind King with his tongue in front of the Wind King, but when he encounters someone like Zhao Chuan, he really kills himself in a fit of anger! That's a terrible death!
On the other side, on the way back to the Chinese army's big tent with Lu Chen, Zhao Chuan couldn't help complaining: "The king is the king of a country, and his status is noble, how can he give a gift to a young envoy, and the general will not accept it!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "This matter is indeed a rude act for our country. ”
"That's also caused by the last general, how can you make the king condescend!" Zhao Chuan still said unwillingly.
"Huh? It's a small thing, don't mind. Lu Chen said.
But this was obviously still difficult for Zhao Chuan to accept, and he hurriedly said: "King, how can this be a trivial matter!" ”
"Okay, okay, this matter is over, no need to mention it again." Lu Chen said again.
And hearing him say this, Zhao Chuan couldn't say more, but he changed his words and said sullenly: "And that Sima Wen, who came to admonish the king, is simply a minister!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked funny: "Sima Wen is a minister?" ”
Zhao Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "In the past, the last general felt that he was not, but today, he is like a minister!" ”
"Haha" Lu Chen looked up and laughed, and after the laughter, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This king knows that you have a lot of complaints about Xunyang and Hengzhou, but you should also understand that Sima Wen's advice is considered from the perspective of our country and for the overall situation. ”
Despite this, Ke Zhao Chuan still said: "But the king, in order to capture Xunyang, Qingyang was hit by several arrows!" The soldiers fought bloodily for three days and three nights! ”
"This king knows all this." Lu Chen sighed softly.
"But now, the king listened to Sima Wen's advice and returned the two places to Qingguo, wouldn't the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain!" Zhao Chuan said sadly.
"The blood of the soldiers was not shed in vain! Their heroic struggle has bought our country a few years of peaceful development! It has laid a solid foundation for the future eradication! Lu Chen said in a loud voice.
"The last general, the last general still can't accept it!" As Zhao Chuan spoke, he also sat on the steps outside the tent angrily.
Seeing him like this, Lu Chen was immediately happy, and couldn't help but step forward and sit down beside him, comforting: "This king can understand your feelings, and he is not unwilling, but everything must be long-term, not just looking at immediate interests." ”
As he spoke, Lu Chen also patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come, get up." ”
Zhao Chuan stood up sullenly.
Lu Chen was standing in front of him, and seeing that his armor was a little untidy, he couldn't help but reach out and personally tidy it up for him, and patted the dust on his cloak.
Seeing this, Zhao Chuan panicked, and suddenly knelt on the ground, flattered and said, "The king ......"
Lu Chen pulled him up and said with a smile: "Since you are in a bad mood, let's go, accompany this king to drink two glasses!" ”
He pulled Zhao Chuan away, and Sima Wen, who was not far away, saw this, but said quietly: "Amazing king......"
The next day, Lu Chen summoned Shang and began to formally discuss the armistice between the two countries.
Although he had already decided to adopt Sima Wen's opinion in his heart, in the matter of Xunyang and Hengzhou, of course Lu Chen would not let go so easily, and he naturally had to bargain with Qingguo on this.
After Shang Yu entered the big tent of the Chinese army and gave a salute, Lu Chen also said straight to the point: "After these few days of deliberation, this king has made a decision, thinking that it is indeed not appropriate to start a war between the current Feng Country and the Qing Kingdom, but for the truce, the Qing Kingdom must pay the corresponding price for it." ”
The war was initiated by Qingguo, and now Qingguo is asking for a truce, so naturally there will be compensation, this point, Shang Yuan has nothing to say, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Of course, for the post-war affairs, what my king means is that he is willing to compensate the Wind Country with 20 million taels of silver!" ”
"Twenty million taels?" Lu Chen laughed, he laughed angrily, he sneered and said, "Qingwang is calling Hanako here!" You must know that the war was provoked by your Qingguo! Now if you say an armistice, you will stop fighting, then who will count the soldiers of the Wind Army who died in battle!? ”
When Shang Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "But in this battle, the number of soldiers killed in our Qing Army is not less than that of the Feng Army. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen became angry and said unceremoniously: "But this battle is what your Qingguo wants to fight!" Our country is only a party to the counterattack, and if the Qing envoy has such words again, then there is no need to talk about it again! ”
"That'...... His Royal Highness the Wind King thinks our country should make compensation. Shang Yuan said helplessly.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said directly: "In view of the losses caused by the war, Qingguo should compensate my country with 80 million taels of silver, otherwise, the return of Xunyang and Hengzhou, my army officers and soldiers, I'm afraid they will not agree!" ”
"What!?" Shang Yuan was shocked, his eyes widened and said, "Eighty million taels!?" His Royal Highness the Wind King is too much! ”
"Xunyang and Hengzhou were captured by our soldiers with blood, and now King Qing's words will be given to you in vain, Lord Shang thinks, is this possible?" Lu Chen sneered.
"But this ...... It's too much to lose......" Shang said.
"Isn't it possible for Lord Shang to be the master?" Lu Chen asked directly again.
Hearing this, Shang Yuan grinned and said, "This matter is under ...... I need to repay my king before I can decide ......."
