Chapter 782: Armistice
(); Ling Nan, as the leader of the Qingwei Battalion, although he watched the battle in the court with a cold eye, he deeply understood the importance of Shangguan Jin, and in his heart, Shangguan Jin would always be the prime minister of Qingguo.
This kind of respect is from the heart.
In the past, Qingwang ordered him to ask who to blame, no matter whether he was a first-class minister or not, he almost took the order directly and never said a word, but today he unexpectedly interceded for Shangguan Jin, which also made Qingwang gradually calm down.
After Ling Nan got up, he said again: "King, although these letters are written by King Feng himself, if they are Wei Chen, they will definitely be burned, how can they be left at home?" Leave yourself in trouble? ”
His words, Qingwang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Yes, what you said also has some truth." ”
At this time, Guo Zilian became anxious, and he said: "King, whether this matter is true or not, but it is a matter of national security, Weichen suggests that Shangguan Jin should be severely tortured!" ”
"No!" Ling Nan said directly: "Lord Shangguan is already weak, if he is severely punished, I am afraid that his life will be worried!" ”
"You!" Guo Zilian was extremely angry, and after glaring at Ling Nan angrily, he arched his hand to the Qing King and said, "The king ......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, Qingwang had already interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowning, "Okay!" Don't be noisy anymore! Leave this matter to Ling Nan, be sure to find out the facts! ”
"No!" Ling Nan replied with a fist.
Seeing that Qingwang had shown impatience, Guo Zilian knew that it was useless for him to say more, but it would make Qingwang unhappy, he had no choice but to bow to Qingwang, and then withdrew from the study with Ling Nan.
After leaving the study, while Guo Zilian walked out, he also squinted at Ling Nan, and said with a smile: "Today in front of the king, Commander Ling defended Shangguan Jin like this, isn't it that he has already conspired with him." ”
Hearing this, Ling Nan hurriedly smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "The old lady is serious, and the lower officials are just talking about the truth. ”
Guo Zilian sneered: "Hmph! Above the court, killing machines everywhere, Ling Commander, as the king's guard, should do his duty well, be careful to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and set yourself on fire! ”
What he said was obviously an implicit threat, and although Ling Nan was the leader of the Qingwei Battalion, in front of the Taishi of a country, his status was of course much lower, and the latter also had a way to rectify him.
Ling Nan didn't say much anymore, but gave a salute to Guo Zilian, looking like he was listening to the teachings and was silent.
Seeing this, the latter couldn't help but snort heavily and walked away.
The next day, at the court hall, King Qing also consulted with the ministers again about attacking the wind.
The front-line war is still in a state of stalemate, and the reason why he brought it up again at this time is because he already regrets attacking the wind in his heart.
Guo Zilian is very good at speculating about the king's will, and after he analyzed the psychology of King Qing, he immediately stood up, and Shi Li said: "King, there was no problem in attacking the wind, but now because of the two sides and three swords of the Chu State, the war tends to be difficult, and Weichen suggested that the war can be temporarily truceed with the Wind Country and make another plan." ”
It was he who suggested attacking the wind at the beginning, and now he is the one who suggests a truce, but after listening to it, King Qing didn't mean to be angry at all, because Guo Zilian's words were catering to the king's heart!
He nodded slightly, and looked around at everyone: "What Mrs. Guo said, do you have any objections?" ”
As soon as these words were finished, all the ministers in the palace couldn't help but start talking to each other:
"Truce? Soon after the start of this war, there will be a truce, I'm afraid it's not appropriate......"
"Yes, the Wind King is the king of tigers and wolves, fierce and brutal, my country will fight when it says it will fight, and stop when it says it, I'm afraid the Wind King will not agree......"
There was a whisper in the hall, and at this time, a minister also stood up and began to say: "King, now my country has just lost Xunyang and Hengzhou, even if there is a truce, then the two places have been lost. ”
Hearing this, King Qing nodded again and said: "Lord Zhang is reasonable, the war can be stopped, but our country's territory cannot be lost, then pass the order to Yue Heng and let him recover Xunyang and Hengzhou as soon as possible." ”
Because of the inaction of the Chu State, the Qingguo could not defeat the Wind State with the strength of one country, and the Qingwang decided to make a truce with Lu Chen after recovering Xunyang and Hengzhou, and his royal decree was soon transmitted to Yueheng.
However, after the latter received his royal order, he frowned.
At this time, Yue Heng was still stationed in Hanyu Pass, in the meeting hall, seeing that he had seen Wang Zhao, but his brows were tightly locked, and his deputy general couldn't help but ask: "Yue Shuai, Wang Zhao is ...... in the middle of the meeting."
Yue Heng interrupted him and said, "The king ordered our army to recover Xunyang and Hengzhou as soon as possible. ”
"That more handsome means ......"
Yue Heng said: "Xunyang and Hengzhou must be recovered, but judging from the current battle situation, I am afraid that the wind army is waiting for us to go, this matter should not be rushed, once it is rushed, it will inevitably make the wind army have flaws to find." ”
After he finished speaking, he immediately unfolded a silk book on the table and wrote it down.
This is a letter to the Qing King, in the letter, Yue Heng clearly told the Qing King that it is taboo for soldiers to send troops in a hurry, and the Feng army is good at fighting, and it is not lost to their own side at all, and the Feng King himself is in charge, and against it, he can only find a suitable fighter, otherwise, it will be difficult to win.
Yue Heng is not afraid of the enemy, but is waiting for the fighter plane, his military talent, also quite trusted by the Qing King, therefore, after reading his book, the Qing King did not force him to use troops again, but changed a method, planning to use Shang as an envoy to go to the Feng Army camp and meet Lu Chen.
Shang Yu set off from Qingdu with the envoy's guard of honor, so the news quickly spread to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen hated Shang Yuan, and on this day, when he learned that Shang Yuan was about to arrive at Hanyu Pass, he immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.
After everyone arrived, Lu Chen first looked around, and then said straight to the point: "The Qing King is an envoy to Shang, and in a few days, he will come to the camp. ”
When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other, and Xiao Wang stood up and said: "King, the current truce is actually very beneficial for our country, but I am afraid that this time the Qing envoy is not just for the truce." ”
"That's right." Lu Chen said: "As the king expected, King Qing still wants to use the truce as an excuse to return to Xunyang and Hengzhou, which is why the king summoned you to discuss." ”
As soon as his voice fell, before others could speak, Zhao Chuan had already said loudly: "Stop fighting!" Not to mention that Qingwang Lao'er still wants to go back to Xunyang and Hengzhou, don't even think about it! ”
