(); Eighty million taels of silver is not a small amount, Shang Yuan can't be the master, Lu Chen is not surprised, but said: "That is the case, then Wang Jing is waiting for the news of Lord Shang." ”

"That'...... and when he withdraws, he will pass on to my king. Shang Yuan said.

After he left, Su Muzhi couldn't help but say: "Eighty million taels of silver, will Qingwang agree?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Sima Wen already smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Qingwang is bent on a truce now, and in Xunyang and Hengzhou, he can't afford not to pay these 80 million taels of silver." ”

"Sima Wen is right, 80 million taels of silver, the amount seems to be very large, but Qingguo is strong, this money, for Qingwang, of course, is not as important as Xunyang and Hengzhou." Lu Chen said.

After speaking, he also looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "Prime Minister Xiangyin is by his side?" ”

"Back to the king, because he was out on the expedition, he didn't take Xiangyin with him." Xiao Wang returned.

Lu Chen said directly: "Then let people get it quickly, and after the truce is finalized, the prime minister will also go to Qingguo and sign relevant documents with Qingwang." ”

"Wechen takes orders."

On the other side, Qingguo.

After receiving the letter from Shang Yuan, King Qing's brows also frowned, and in the court hall, he said with a little anger: "The wind king lion opened his mouth and asked this king to pay 80 million taels of silver, which is really unreasonable!" ”

Eighty million taels of silver, in fact, he can accept it, but the thought of taking the initiative to compensate the wind country for silver, he will inevitably feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, a minister stood up and said: "King, about the truce, the Wind Country will agree if you agree, and if you don't agree, forget it!" Why should our country lose money! ”

"That's right!" Another minister said: "If we really want to fight, our country is not afraid of the wind army!" ”

"But the current war is very unfavorable to our country, and it would be best if there was a truce." There are also ministers.

People had different opinions, King Qing looked at the ministers, and was just about to speak, but at this time, the Taishi Guo Zilian stood up, he first bowed to King Qing, and then said to one of the ministers: "Lord Wang, if you don't give the Wind Country these 80 million taels of silver, then Xunyang and Hengzhou, will the Wind Country take the initiative to let it out?" And to recover these two places by force, our army does not know how many more soldiers will be killed or wounded by then! ”

"This ......" Hearing him say this, the Lord Wang also suddenly ended.

Guo Zilian no longer paid attention to him, but faced the Qingwang and said: "King, Weichen thinks that Xunyang and Hengzhou are both big cities with large populations, and both agriculture and commerce are developing very well. ”

"En......" King Qing pondered for a while, and said: "In previous years, Xunyang and Hengzhou's money and grain were taxed, and where is their register, and the speed is adjusted to this king. ”

Hearing this, Guo Zilian hurriedly said: "King Qiyu, Weichen has already prepared for the king, this is the general production register of Xunyang and Hengzhou last year. ”

As he spoke, he also took out two bamboo slips from his cuffs and put his hands respectfully on top of his head.

He pondered the king's intentions, and when King Qing saw this, he couldn't help but glance at him appreciatively, and said, "Present it." ”

"No." The attendant on the side answered, then walked down to take the bamboo slip and respectfully put it on the king's case.

Qingwang unfolded it, and after reading it, he also nodded slightly, and then said: "Yes, judging from the grain production and tax revenue of the two places, it is indeed impossible to abandon it. ”

In order to stop the war and recover the two places, after the court discussion, Qingwang decided to accept Lu Chen's conditions, but in his reply to Shang Yuan, of course, he asked Shang Yuan to bargain again, but Lu Chen's attitude on this matter was extremely resolute, and in the end, there was no way, and Qingguo could only agree to pay 80 million taels of silver.

Subsequently, Xiao Wang's Xiangyin was also sent over by the housekeeper in his house, and he also took the Xiangyin and began to go to the Qingguo court to negotiate the matter with the Qingwang.

Half a month later, the capital of Qingguo.

Xiao Wang is the left minister of the wind country, out of etiquette, the Qing King has no choice but to treat each other with courtesy, and he also met Xiao Wang in the main hall in the morning of the next day.

After entering the court hall, Xiao Wang first bowed down and saluted King Qing, and then did not detour, directly to the point, and stepped into the topic.

Regarding the truce, Shang Yuan, on behalf of Qingguo, had already discussed with Lu Chen in all aspects, so there were no twists and turns in the talks between Xiao Wang and Qingwang, and the matter was quickly finalized.

However, in the end, when the two countries took out the relevant documents, King Qing suddenly asked: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is here, maybe he is the sole representative of the Wind King?" ”

At this time, Xiao Wang was holding his own seal, ready to stamp it on the paperwork, after hearing King Qing's words, his eyes rolled, and he smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, my country's seal is definitely different from your country." ”

His words were obviously ironic that King Qing had made an alliance with the Wind Country with Prime Minister Shangguan Jin as his envoy, but in the end he went back on his word.

When Qingwang heard this, he was stunned at first, although he was annoyed and angry, but on his face, he couldn't refute it, so he could only laugh and laugh, and said embarrassedly: "It's this king who is too worried, Xiao Cheng invites you." ”

Xiao Wang stamped the seal on the document, and seeing this, King Qing also stamped his royal seal on the document, and the truce was officially reached.

Subsequently, Xiao Wang did not stop here, and after saluting King Qing, he also took the document stamped with the king's seal and retreated.

A few days later, the Blue King City was imprisoned.

At this time, Shangguan Jin was still being held here, and Ling Nan, the leader of the Qingwei Battalion, was also visiting him.

After pouring a glass of wine for Shangguan Jin, Ling Nan also said worriedly: "Lord Shangguan, although I don't believe that adults will communicate with the Wind King, but those letters, after verification, were indeed found in the adult's home, and they were also written by the Wind King himself, although this matter is weird, but it is not easy to handle......

When Shangguan Jin heard this, he smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "It's okay, those who are clear will clear themselves." ”

As he spoke, he also took a drink from his glass and said, "Good wine!" Thank you Commander Ling, I have become a prisoner of the ranks, but Commander Ling takes care of me so much, I really feel uneasy in my heart. ”

"What do you say?" Ling Nan hurriedly said.

After a pause, Shangguan Jin asked casually: "By the way, what major events have happened in the DPRK and China recently?" ”

"This ......" Ling Nan pondered for a moment and said: "The king has made a truce with the Wind Country, and in order to recover Xunyang and Hengzhou, he has already paid 80 million taels of silver to the Wind Country. ”

"What!?" Hearing this, Shangguan Jin suddenly couldn't sit still, and he immediately said urgently: "The king is so confused! It was a wrong decision to attack the wind at the beginning, but after attacking the wind, it was necessary to attack it to the end! The national strength of the Wind Country is not as good as our country, although our country cannot win in a short period of time, but in the end, the side of peace will definitely be the Wind Country! ”

What he said, Ling Nan didn't understand, but Ling Nan knew that Shangguan Jin just said that the king was confused!

He was startled, and hurriedly whispered, "Shhh Silence, silence, my lord, be careful that the wall has ears, the master has many ears and eyes, I am afraid that he will tell right and wrong......"
