2407 The Price of Peace
"Damn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Huber reluctantly put down the gun in his hand.
"Bang." Immediately afterwards, the Goguryeo man who was pointed at on the opposite side gave Hu Bo a rifle butt. Hu Bo was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground at once. A large crowd of Goguryeo people then swarmed up and beat Huber.
"Damn, we're here to negotiate, you can't do this to us." Hawke shouted. This is what his commander told him when he came, that his task was very difficult and very constructive. And in order to accomplish this task, the first thing they had to learn was patience, to be polite and courteous to all insults of the Goguryeo people, but also to refrain from doing so. Get the job done as best you can.
"Damn it." Despite Hawke's restraint, he was beaten by the Goguryeo, and one kicked him in the lower abdomen, causing him unbearable pain.
He was quickly knocked to the ground.
"Bang." At this moment, a crisp gunshot rang out.
A Goguryeo man dressed in an offbeat. Hawke looked up. Military boots are officer boots, because officer boots are longer, but they are not the kind of senior officers, and the overcoat is an ordinary overcoat, but there are many weapons on it, and revolvers have it. This is extremely rare among the equipment of the Goguryeo people. Hawke thinks that the other party may be a big person he wants to see the most.
"Get up. Central Plains people. "The other person looked very young, that is, in his early twenties.
"Damn it." Hawke stood up in pain. Hawke, on the other hand, stood up with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"We are the Qin army, and we are the ones who fight with you." Hawke said, touching his face.
"I know." The young man said.
"My name is Li Wending, the seven kings of the Goguryeo people." The young man introduced.
"Give them back what you got." Li Wending said at this time.
Many Goguryeo soldiers were very dissatisfied, and they felt that this was what they deserved.
"Hurry up, I don't want to say it a second time, if I say it, I'll shoot you." Li Wending said fiercely.
"Whoa." Saying that, the Goguryeo people returned all the things of Hawke and Huber to them. Their marching gear, as well as a large number of various supplies, were the food they were looking for for for the Goguryeo people.
"And their weapons." Li Wending looked at everyone at this time and said.
"Sir. These Central Plains people's weapons are all good guys. At this moment, a bearded man next to him stood up and whispered. The other party's Zhongyuan dialect is relatively fluent, and both Hawke and Huber can hear it clearly.
"Give them to, they are here to negotiate, if they negotiate, they are friends, they are guests, how can we treat our guests like this." Li Wending looked at Hawke and said. It was as if he were saying this to Hawke.
"Smack." A soldier threw Huber's gun at him, and Huber took his gun and checked it, and it was fine.
"Damn it." Huber scolded.
"I'm sorry, you follow me." With that, Li Wending left here with Hawke.
Hawke rode on his own horse, but he saw a lot of things he wanted to see along the way. Some charred corpses, and a large number of Goguryeo people resting at a loss. The charred corpses were burned to the size of children, and from a distance they looked like piles of burnt wood.
"These are all good things that you Central Plains people have done." Li Wending said coldly. He seems to have gotten used to such scenes. If it weren't for the continuous rain in the past few days, the fires would probably have continued.
"Well, we are from the Central Plains, but we are from Qin." Hawke emphasized at this time.
"Qin people?" Li Wending asked at this time.
"Yes, Qin people." Hawke nodded in acknowledgement.
"I heard that you Qin people are fighting very hard. I listened to Yan Guoren. Did you do the same in this battle? And this fire. Especially those big birds flying in the sky, are they also from your Qin country? Li Wending asked Hawke with a look of great envy and admiration.
"That's an airship, it's indeed made by us Qin people, there are many more in Qin country, it's impossible for them to get here, because of many reasons." Hawke explained.
"I see." Li Wen nodded fixedly.
"But I want to know a lot about what you Qin Kingdom really have. Can I go to Qin to have a look? Li Wending asked.
"This. If the peace talks are successful, I think it will be possible. Hawke said.
"Hmm. If that's the case, I'll go with you. Li Wending said.
"What's your name, I want to be friends with you." Li Wending said.
"Hawke. This is Huber's Hawke introduced.
"Hmm. What are you here for? Li Wending asked at this time.
"We are here to negotiate with you to end the war on the battlefield." Hawke looked at Li Wending and said.
"End this war?" Li Wending asked.
"Yes. Yes, to end this war, we Qin people don't want to fight. In other words, we will not get the benefits we want in this war, and you Goguryeo people must withdraw from the Liaodong region of Yan and cede more land to us. There are also indemnities, and many more benefits. Hawke explained.
"Isn't this our life?" Li Wending asked.
"No, this is to give the Goguryeo people a greater chance to survive, and it is impossible for you to win this war. We don't have as many troops as you, but we're well armed. There are many more airships falling from the sky. There is no point in fighting such a war. Hawke said.
"Hmm." Li Wending is different from several other kings, he has his own way of thinking, and at the same time he thinks that the Central Plains civilization is civilization and they are still in a barbaric state, and after he saw the power of the Qin people, he decided even more.
For this war, Li Wending also felt that there was no need to fight it. Because the gap between the Goguryeo and the Qin people was too great. If you continue to fight in vain, you will only dry up the blood of the Goguryeo people. It's not worth it at all.
"You're right, there's really no point in fighting this war." Li Wending said.
"I also hope to end this war as soon as possible, this war, the price paid by the Goguryeo people is too great. This is more than we would have liked. Li Wending said worriedly.
"Peace comes at a price, and with the current situation of the Goguryeo people, I think you should pay such a price, and only in this way can your situation be completely changed." Hawke said.
"Hmm. It's just hard to say yes. Li Wending shook his head and said.
