"Ps: Today's guarantee day is the first update, and the second is more likely to be around twelve o'clock. Don't worry, I'm not going to be lazy. I'm going to pay off my debt within a month."

———— the following text————

Under Zhao Hongrun's sky-high asking price, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and Huang Arsenic did not agree to use the ransom to redeem the people of Chu in the eight counties, but the original intention was not this, so after pretending to coerce Xiong Tuo a few times, they also acquiesced to this matter.

Looking at Xiong Tuo's slightly smug appearance, Zhao Hongrun smiled secretly in his heart: In the future, when this Xuancheng Monarch found out that at least ninety percent of the people of the Chu State in his territory had moved away, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.

After the verbal agreement, the contract is formally drafted.

This contract will be sent to Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, and Ji Si, the king of Wei, in the form of a letter of state, as a constraint and guarantee for this "strike and make peace".

After a while, under the witness of Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Army, Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Tuo, as representatives of Wei and Chu, signed this treaty representing the armistice between Wei and Chu.

"Wei Chu Armistice Zhengyang Peace Treaty" has three:

First, the state of Chu unconditionally ordered Guling Jun Xiong Wu to withdraw from the Song County of Wei and return all the cities conquered, but the Wei State was not allowed to take the opportunity to attack, and it was not allowed to investigate the behavior of Xiong Wu's army in Song County during the war in the future.

Second, the state of Chu used 50 million dollars worth of Chu land specialties to compensate the army of Xiong Tuojun, the monarch of Chu City, during the attack on Wei since July last year.

Third, the state of Chu redeemed the eight cities of Suiping, Runan, Pingyu, Xiangcheng, Chenxian, Queshan, Xincai, and Zhengyang with Chu specialties worth 90 million yuan. After the contract was signed, it was delivered one after another, and after the completion of the settlement, the army under the command of Ji Run, the king of Wei Guosu, must be withdrawn unconditionally, and he should not continue to stay in Chu for any reason or excuse.

After a closer look at each other. Huang Arsenic took out his small seal and stamped it under the contract, and Zhao Hongrun, because he had not yet left the palace, had the title of King Su but had not yet had time to engrave his personal private seal and government seal, so he could only dip his hand in ink and stamp a handprint under the contract. The words "Wei, Ji Run" were indicated.

This contract was made in duplicate, one for Zhao Hongrun and one for Huang Arsenic, after all, this contract was also seen by the two kings of Chu and Wei.

However, after signing this treaty, Zhao Hongrun clearly told Xiong Tuo and Huang Arsenic that he only had the right to "strike by agreement" with Chu State, but did not have the right to "make peace by agreement".

Think about it, after all, the counterattack on Chu was made up by him Zhao Hongrun. Therefore, the state of Chu spent a lot of money to let him withdraw from the territory of the state of Chu, and the state of Wei could not say anything.

After all, Zhao Hongrun obtained dozens of times the value of war reparations at a very small price.

This huge amount of money is enough to cover all the war losses and military food consumption of Wei since Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, led his army to invade Wei in July and August last year, and even has a lot of profits.

But the "agreement to make peace" is different. The agreement refers to the shaking hands of Wei and Chu to restore the good old days. This is beyond Zhao Hongrun's authority, if he makes a decision for his father, I believe that there will always be a handful of people in the country gossiping.

His words made Xiong Tuo's eyes widen.

What the? I felt that my Da Chu spent 150 million money, just to let you return the cities that my Da Chu captured? "Note: As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a concept of billions in ancient times. They will write 100 million dollars into 10,000,000 dollars, and use 10,000 dollars as a unit.'

According to what you say, isn't it true that your army can still stay in Shangcai, and if you are in a bad mood, you can come back to attack my Chu State at any time?

Although Xiong Tuo doesn't think so. Zhao Hongrun dared to do that after receiving such a rich war reparation from their Chu State, after all, this move would definitely anger the Chu State, but then again, this kind of matter that is easy to cause disputes is better to negotiate in advance.

In response to this matter, Zhao Hongrun calmly explained: "This king is the son of the king of Wei, and this time the army rose because of me, so I have the right to strike a truce with your country, but the matter of peace is related to my national policy of Great Wei, and it is not up to this king to call the shots." ”

The people of this era are the most righteous, so after listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, Huang Arsenic, a scholar from the Chu State, was not surprised, nodded and smiled and said, "This matter is reasonable." …… Since this is the case, he followed what Run Gongzi said and separated the two items of dismissal and speech. Today, I have signed a contract with Run Gongzi to strike the army, and in the coming day, I will send envoys to Daliang to sign a peace agreement with the King of Wei. ”

To tell the truth, Huang Arsenic was not worried that the Wei State would go back on his word, or that the King of Su of the Wei State in front of him would come back and forth, and retreat to the border between the two countries for a huge amount of compensation, and Cai would kill him again or something, which would only make the world laugh at the insatiable greed of the Wei people and the loss of national prestige.

But why did Huang Arsenic insist on making peace with Wei Guoyan?

In fact, it was very simple, because what he wanted to sign was not just a peace agreement, he just wanted to persuade Wei and win over Wei.

After all, the alliance between Qi and Wei was reached, which was a great threat to the Chu State, and on the Qi side, the Chu State was absolutely unwilling to give in. Taking a step back, even if the state of Chu was soft, the king of Qi might not necessarily agree.

Therefore, if Chu wants to resolve the threat in the future, it can only start from the side of Wei, disintegrate the alliance between Qi and Wei, and at the worst, win over some Wei people, so that when Qi Wangxi decides to attack Chu in the future, Wei can withdraw from the matter and not respond to Qi Wangxi's attack on Chu and send troops to attack Chu's western Chu.

Obviously, Zhao Hongrun also thought of this factor, and said with a smile when he heard this: "That is the case, after Ji returned to my Great Wei, he waited for the master in Daliang." ”

Hearing this, Huang Arsenic replied with a smile: "Gongzi Run's words are serious...... In fact, Huang is also very yearning for your country's Liang, but at the moment, it is not certain that he will send your country to your country. If the king really entrusts this matter to me in the future, Huang will not be able to harass your mansion. ”

"Where, where."

It may be that after the signing of the contract for the armistice of the army, Zhao Hongrun and Huang Arsenic were in a good mood and were polite to each other over there.

Seeing the seemingly happy politeness of these two people, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was a little unhappy in his heart.

Thinking about it, you must know that his 160,000 army was defeated, and Zhao Hongrun was the culprit, and now, Xiong Tuo was naturally uncomfortable in his heart when he was swallowed by this culprit with a huge compensation of 140 million yuan.

"Envoy to the State of Wei? Hey! The Chu people who went to Wei last time still don't know where the bones are buried! He said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun and Huang Arsenic's faces changed slightly.

"Takukoshi ......"

Huang Arsenic glanced at Xiong Tuo helplessly, and complained a little in his heart.

You must know that the attack on the envoys of the Chu State was the fuse for his Chu State's declaration of war on Wei, how could it be mentioned again at this moment when the two sides were ready to make peace?

Zhao Hongrun's attitude was more direct, and after glancing at Xiong Tuo, he sneered: "This king also thinks that those Chu people are blind to death...... In other words, at that time, the speed at which Xuancheng Jun attacked my Great Wei was so fast, as if he had been prepared. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiong Tuo frowned when he heard this.

"What do you mean, you know it yourself!" Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly and sneered: "At that time, more than 20 Chu people and more than 100 escorts to the Wei army, and more than 200 people were all attacked overnight, and none of them survived. …… Such a thing, the thief is far more likely than the attack from outside! ”

『……』

Doctor Huang Arsenic looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise when he heard this.

Although he had long guessed that Wei Guo would not do such a detrimental thing, and now hearing Zhao Hongrun say this, he was even more convinced of this.

"What's the matter with me Xiong Tuo?" Feeling Zhao Hongrun's suspicious gaze, Xiong Tuo said angrily.

Zhao Hongrun sneered, pouted and said, "As far as this king knows, the envoy of Chu once passed through the territory of the Emperor of Xuancheng, and then passed through my Great Wei Fen Fortress...... If you Xiong Tuo take the opportunity to stuff a few people in the team, I believe it won't be difficult to do, right? ”

"Ridiculous!" Xiong Tuo patted the armrest of the chair and retorted: "You mean, it was this monarch who poisoned my envoy of Dachu?" Amusing! What's in the interest of you? ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "In order to prompt the King of Chu to declare war on my Great Wei!" ”

"Hahahaha-" Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, responded to Zhao Hongrun's question with an exaggerated and ironic laugh.

"If that's not the case, why are your 160,000 troops assembled so quickly?!"

『……』

Hearing this, Huang Arsenic couldn't help but glance at Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, in shock.

After all, in his impression, Xiong Tuo was indeed the first to raise an army to attack Wei, and the speed of gathering an army of 160,000 was indeed a bit fast, which was unreasonably fast.

Seeing that even Huang Arsenic looked at him with shocked and stunned eyes, Huangcheng Jun Xiong was furious, slapped the case, and scolded angrily: "Fart! …… It was Lao Tzu who did it, and Lao Tzu will never argue, but you Ji Run don't want to press the trumped-up crime on Lao Tzu's head! ”

"Then how do you explain your 160,000 army?"

"What 160,000? I only invested 60,000 troops at the beginning, and this army was originally for the attack on Fenchengsai! Every spring and summer, doesn't Lao Tzu send troops to attack the Fencheng Fortress of your Wei State? Every year, is there such a rarity? …… Later, after my father declared war on your Wei State, I contacted Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu, and Xiong Qi, the king of Miyang, and asked Xiong Qi to fight Fen Chengsai instead of me, and I joined Xiong Hu to attack your Wei State. Xiong Tuo explained angrily.

Looking at Xiong Tuo's angry appearance, everyone in the room looked at each other and was suspicious.

Probably seeing that everyone in the room was still looking at him with suspicion, Xiong Tuo said angrily: "Isn't Xiong Hu in your hands Ji Run?" You call him over and you'll find out when you ask! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Bailiba, who understood, and walked out of the house to give two orders to Wei Bing, who was on duty outside the house.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Tuo suspiciously, and to be honest, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Once upon a time, they Wei were very sure that the attack on the Chu envoy was done by Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, in order to prompt the Chu state to declare war on the Wei state.

But now seeing Xiong Tuo's excited and angry appearance, it doesn't seem to be what they originally thought.

"If it's not Xiong Tuo...... Is it really my Wei people's doing?'

Looking at Xiong Tuo, who was huffing, Zhao Hongrun's face was a little unpleasant.

Because if this matter is really not Xiong Tuo's doing, it means that there is an anti-imperial court force lurking in their Great Wei country.

Internal thieves are far more difficult to deal with than external enemies. (To be continued.) )
