At the foot of a hill outside the port of Tangjin, there were two groups of people who hated each other and were extremely restrained, it was 500 Japanese soldiers and 500 Silla soldiers, and they had only one task, that is, to protect the two mediators from the Tang Dynasty in the middle tent.

Of course, these two groups of soldiers have another purpose that they both know to each other, that is, to supervise each other and prevent people from the other side from contacting the two Tang mediators in private.

A white-haired old man in the big tent sat cross-legged, and a fragrant tea in front of him rose Miao Miao's water vapor, "Hmm! Zhang Langzhong, what do you think about this negotiation? ”

Opposite the white-haired old man sat cross-legged a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, it was Zhang Wanqing, the deputy envoy to the mediation between the Wa State and the Silla State this time, who heard the words of Da Xixun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites opposite, raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "Two groups of people who don't understand etiquette are actually shouting for compensation and demanding the other party's generals, and they really don't know what ...... called. ”

Da Xixun picked up the teacup in front of him, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it: "You are right, the state of Huawai, the small people, where do you know what etiquette, righteousness and shame, you and I don't have to care, I caress each other." Now the two countries are also unable to continue fighting, as long as the two countries are willing to temporarily cease fighting, your task and mine will be completed. ”

"But ......", Zhang Wanqing said to his lips, looked up at Da Xixun and said: "Da Shilang, now that Zhen Qian's whereabouts are unknown, I am afraid it will be difficult for you and me to go back like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to Your Majesty?" ”

"That's true!"

Da Xixun glanced at Zhang Wanqing meaningfully and said: "Zhen Qian fell into the hands of the pirate Nine Ghosts Jialong of the Japanese Kingdom, I am afraid that he would have suffered a misfortune a long time ago, and there is little hope of survival, so it is better to return to His Majesty truthfully...... you see?" ”

Da Xixun was unwilling to continue to stay in the country for a day, knowing that he had to reach an agreement with Zhang Wanqing in order to clear the blame for his ineffective work.

"Da Shilang is reasonable, this time the Wa Kingdom sent the seeds of tomorrow's grass, you and I are not all without merit!"

"That's right!"

Da Xixun looked out of the tent with a weak heart and said: "Your Majesty's intention to find Zhen Qian is nothing more than tomorrow's grass, that Zhen Qian's life and death are secondary, you and I, as ministers, should relieve Your Majesty's worries." ”

"Exactly!"

Zhang Wanqing nodded understandingly, he and Zhen Qian had no friendship at all, and there was no need to continue to stay in the Wa Kingdom to find Zhen Qian. On the contrary, I heard that Zhen Qian seemed to have learned about Yang Guozhong, if he and Da Xixun really found Zhen Qian, they might offend Yang Guozhong, and they would not do such a stupid thing.

"Then you and I will finalize the truce with the Wa State and the Silla State tomorrow, as for the ......", Da Xixun smiled contemptuously and said: "What war criminals and compensation for losses, let the Wa State and the Silla State eat the dog!" ”

Zhang Wanqing also wants to return to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, although the Wa Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom treat the two as guests, food and wine, and even beautiful women, but those rouge and vulgar powder, the two of them don't look down on it at all, if it weren't for the fact that the two countries have quietly sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, the two would have gone away long ago, and the two countries would have been in vain.

The two glanced at each other, picked up the tea cup in front of them, looked at each other with a meaningful look in their eyes, and had a smile on their faces that could not be concealed, and did not take mediation as a matter at all.

Three days later, news of the armistice between the Wa and Silla kingdoms reached the town of Saga and spread throughout the ...... of Seikaido.

"It's a truce, haha!"

"It's a truce, and you can finally go home!"

The news of the armistice spread like a whirlwind throughout Seekaido, and the people of Seekaido, who had been devastated by the war, wept with joy that the armistice was finally ceasing, and the Silla army would soon withdraw from Seekaido, which would lead to a period of peace.

Of course, this is the wish of countless ordinary people in Saikaido!

But can this wish really come true?

The answer, of course, is no.

However, the war between the Japanese and Silla countries really ceased, and the first batch of more than 3,000 wounded and sick soldiers of the Silla army boarded the ships returning home, indicating that the war had entered a period of adjustment.

Even ordinary Japanese people knew that the war between the Japanese and Silla kingdoms had never stopped, and the pain of the war had made the people of the two countries hate each other, and it was no longer clear who was right and who was wrong.

"The Wa Kingdom actually agreed to a truce, it seems that Fujiwara Nakamaro really doesn't want to continue fighting?"

"The two countries will not be a delaying tactic, and when the other party relaxes, let's strike another thunderous blow!" Zhen Jiu wondered.

Zhen Qian did not doubt the falsity of the armistice between the Japanese and Silla at all, and explained: "Let's not talk about whether the Japanese and Silla really want to cease the war, it is the mediator sent by the Tang Dynasty this time, if the two countries go back on their word, it will be an insult to the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be morally convincing, so whether the Wa and Silla countries are willing or not, this armistice should be true, but I don't know how long this truce will last?" ”

Kong Ni nodded and said: "In terms of strength, the Wa Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom are evenly matched, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. In terms of the preparations of both sides, the outbreak of this war was too sudden, and the preparations for war between the two countries were completely disrupted. From the current situation, although the Japanese army cut off the retreat route of the Silla army, the overall strength of the Silla army did not lose much, and if the Silla army was forced to rush and stay in Sekaido, it would be very unfavorable to the Japanese army. Moreover, the current situation is not the best time to start a full-scale war, so the truce between the two countries is only a matter of time. ”

"The biggest problem of the Wa Kingdom is not the Silla Kingdom, but the internal opposition, as long as the opposition exists for one day, this battle Fujiwara Nakamaro will not be able to win!" Zhen Qian added.

"Yes!"

Although Kong Ni is not good at war planning, he is the biggest help by Zhen Qian's side in analyzing the situation and people's hearts.

"Island owner, once Silla withdraws from Sekaido, I'm afraid Fujiwara Nakamaro will have to make a move against the opposition!"

Of course, Zhen Qian knew about this matter, although the Wa State no longer had the strength to fight with the Silla State, it was still no problem to deal with the Shaoer Dongshang Coalition Army on the Seokkaido.

"Haha! Now the Shaoer Dongshang coalition army will have to suffer! Zhen Qian gloated.

"Now the daimyo in various parts of Saikaido are about to move, although the original guardians and lords who supported Fujiwara Nakamaro have been eradicated by the Silla army, but this does not mean that the remaining lords will definitely support the Shaoji Tosho coalition army and the opposition, the war between them has reached the point of imminence, please plan early!" Kong Ni said with some excitement.

Of course, Zhen Qian has been prepared for a long time, and letting Aoi Ji return to Osumi Country is only part of the plan, "People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, although our goal is the entire Saikaido, but at present, our strength is still too weak, we can only target Hizen Country, and the other Linglu countries will let others occupy it, and we can't let the Shaoer Dongshang Alliance Army dominate!" ”
