Chapter 106: Mediation

In the camp of the Prussian Army, Ji Zheng was wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier and was walking with his head down. He groped his way along the Wu army camp for half a circle, and the tent with the "yellow" flag was still densely packed with guards, day and night for two months.

In fact, Ji Zheng has always been in the coalition camp, as a strategist, he followed Xiao Shi to participate in this expedition, he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Huang Yun, but Huang Yun seemed to know that someone would secretly cause harm, hiding in the camp day and night, and even going to the toilet had to be followed by dozens of people to guard.

Ji Zheng couldn't find a chance to get off the phone, so he could only squeeze the moon blade on his waist with his left hand, and then shook his head helplessly, it seems that Huang Yun can live one more day. When he was about to leave, he looked up at the center of the camp, the Chinese army camp was fluttering the banner of the word "Zhang", he felt a little relieved, although he was happy for Zhang Xun's progress, but this was precisely the reason why he could not meet Zhang Xun again. Now that they have parted ways, he doesn't know what the future holds, and he can't figure out when he should meet Zhang Xun again.

Ji Zheng sighed lightly, then turned around silently, and suddenly, he stopped his steps, and there seemed to be a word flashing in his afterglow. He suddenly turned to look at the center of the camp, and sure enough, there was indeed a flag with the word "Zhou" fluttering there.

Week?

Ji Zheng was puzzled, but full of expectations, after all, this flag seemed to be his hometown and the unattainable dream that he had been away from for many years.

Who could it be?

At the same time, Huang Yun also saw the flag.

These days, he never leaves his armor, even when he sleeps, he wears light armor. Now it was an iron armor and bronze helmet, holding the sword tightly, looking at the flag, he was puzzled in his heart.

Huang Yun scratched his neck and scratched the red rash on it, although he couldn't understand what this flag meant, but he didn't care about it, it didn't matter to him what the outcome of this expedition was, only his own life was important. So, Huang Yun ordered the guards around him: "Strengthen vigilance these days, no matter what happens, you must take the security of your own official as the first priority!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards answered in unison.

With that, Huang Yun threw up his cloak and plunged into his tent.

In the camp of the Chinese army, negotiations are still ongoing, Xiao Shi is arrogant and disdainful, and his words are aggressive; Ji Shang always smiled and persuaded him with kind words; Zhang Xun watched coldly, said little, and calculated the pros and cons in his heart.

Xiao Shi asked, "Lord Ji has ever seen King Lu?" ”

"I haven't seen it yet, as soon as I arrived in Lu Country, I went straight to the general's side, after all, the general's attack on the city is imminent, and Ji is afraid that he will be late."

"Then Mistress Ji wants us to give up the idea of attacking the city?"

"General Xiao, you have experienced a hundred battles, you must know that attacking the city is the last strategy, the sergeants have suffered countless casualties, and the people will inevitably be miserable, and in the end, even if you capture the city, you will only capture a broken city."

"But if you don't break the city, how can you defeat the Lu country?"

"Hey, General Xiao, aren't I here? If there's anything, let's discuss it. Ji Shang said and looked at Zhang Xun with a smile.

Xiao Se sneered: "In that case, Lord Ji might as well talk about the conditions offered by King Lu." ”

"Hehe, King Lu, naturally he wants to resolve the current situation peacefully, since he asked the Son of Heaven for mediation, he is naturally sincere."

"Lady Ji is going around in circles."

"Where am I going around in a circle, it's just that King Lu only sent an envoy to ask the Son of Heaven for his life before, and the specific conditions, Lu Envoy can't say clearly. That's why the Son of Heaven sent me to mediate, and he also hoped that I would act when I had the opportunity. I'm afraid that this battle will already start when I'm late, so I'll talk to General Zhang and General Xiao first to see what we have planned. Then, I'll ask King Lu what he thinks, and if I can't talk about it, I'll run a few more times in and out of the city, and it doesn't matter if I run a few more times. But I believe that in the end, we can always negotiate, hehe, it doesn't matter if it takes a little bit, it doesn't matter if it drags on for a long time, it's better than the misery of life. ”

Ji Shang talked for a long time, and finally turned to Zhang Xun and saluted: "Did you say that, General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Xun smiled, and finally spoke: "Lord Ji has worked tirelessly for the sake of the people of Li, and the general is just as unwilling to see the soldiers fight and the people will be miserable. What's more, the Son of Heaven intends peace, so how can we insist on fighting? ”

"Oops! General Zhang is kind-hearted and respects the Son of Heaven, and he is really an example for the people of the world! Under admiration, admiration. ”

Zhang Xun waved his hand and continued: "In this case, I am willing to talk to King Lu, but there must be a premise. ”

As soon as Ji Shang heard this, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What premise?" General Zhang, please speak. ”

"The state of Lu must break the alliance with the state of Qi and form an alliance with the state of Wu!"

"Oh...... Oh......" Ji Shang kept nodding, "Well...... This is easy to discuss, hehe, easy to discuss, everyone is the people of the Son of Heaven, and they are all vassal states canonized by the Son of Heaven, speaking of which, hehe, they are all alliances, they are, they are all ...... I think King Lu will accept it. ”

"Okay, then since that's the case, Master Lao Ji will go to Lu Country to talk to King Lu."

"Please rest assured, General Zhang, Ji should do his best!"

"Hehe, good, there is labor! In addition, Ben will prepare a little wine banquet and invite Lord Ji to enjoy it. ”

"Oh, thank you, thank you!"

At night, the lights in the Chinese army camp were brilliant, and everyone was staggered.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Xun picked up the wine lord and said with a smile: "Lord Ji, in this world, there are not many scholars and doctors like Lord Ji who sincerely think about the people, come, I respect you." ”

Ji Shang hurriedly raised the wine lord and saluted back: "If it weren't for General Zhang's kindness and compassion, there would be no basis for this peace talk, Ji Mou thanks General Zhang!" ”

"Hehe, come, please drink together." Zhang Xun signaled to everyone in the seat, so everyone raised the wine together and drank the wine in the wine.

Subsequently, everyone toasted to Ji Shang, Ji Shang quickly became dizzy and began to float, he held the wine jue and said to Zhang Xun: "General Zhang! There is a question below, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Lord Ji, but it's okay to say."

"Hehe, princes, hiccup, as strong as the state of Wu, hehe, in his heart, where does the Son of Heaven live?"

As soon as Ji Shang said this, Yu Lan and several lieutenant generals glared at Ji Shang angrily, but Zhang Xun just waved his hand and smiled: "Stronger than Wu Guo?" Don't Lord Ji know that there are also Qi Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom in this world, which one is not the lord of the hegemon? Wu is located on the border, but in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people are barely making ends meet, how can it be said that it is a powerful country? Moreover, even the Huangkou children of Wu also know that the abundance of food and clothing depends on the gift of the Son of Heaven, not to mention, when the king sacrifices, he prays and petitions to the West, the land of the Son of Heaven, from this point of view, the weight of the Son of Heaven can be seen. ”

"Haha!" Ji Shang was satisfied, and laughed: "Okay! When I return to the court, I will definitely show the weather of Wu to the Son of Heaven! ”

"Come, Ji-sama, drink."

"Good! Ha ha! Ji Shang drank the wine again.

At this time, Xiao Shi also raised the wine lord and toasted to Ji Shang: "Lord Ji, the matter of peace talks, Lord Lao bothered, come, Xiao respects you." ”

"Hehe, good, good!" Ji Shang didn't shirk either, and drank the wine again.

Xiao Shi took a sip, "I can't drink enough, I have to go back to sleep, and I hope that Lord Ji can have fun." ”

"Huh? General Xiao stopped drinking? Drink some more! Ha ha! ”

Xiao Shi saluted Zhang Xun and said, "General, the last general still has important business, so he will retire first." ”

Zhang Xun nodded, and then Xiao Shi left the big tent.

Ji Shang took the wine jue and toasted Zhang Xun again, Zhang Xun did not refuse, and drank it all. After drinking, Zhang Xun sighed and said softly to Ji Shang: "Lord Ji, I have a good brother, he is from Luoyang. ”

"Oh? So what is his position? Maybe I do. ”

"He left Luoyang very early."

"Oh, I see. Hehe, speaking of which, I also have a relative, who is in Wu Kingdom! Come, General Zhang, let's drink! ”

"Okay, drink."

After the two respected each other, they drank it all again.

At this time, Huang Yun was sitting in the camp tent, his armor never leaving his body, and his sword not leaving his hand.

He wouldn't go to this drinking party anyway, he knew that as long as he was done and could go back safely, he would be able to restore his former title and power. After that, he will find a way to seek revenge against Gong Wanran and Xiao Xun, but at the moment, what he is most worried about is whether Zhang Xun will secretly attack him. So this time he was careful everywhere and always vigilant.

Recently, his neck was full of rashes for unknown reasons, the itching was unbearable, and he often felt cold and hot.

He took off his helmet and scratched his neck vigorously, when someone outside the tent announced.

"Your Excellency! There are guests visiting! ”

"What man!?"

"The leader of the Yue Kingdom - Xiao Shi!"

Huang Yun was taken aback, Xiao Shi? How could this person who ruined his reputation dare to visit him? But he knows that Xiao Shi is cunning and vicious, I'm afraid there won't be anything good, and now it's better to have more than less.

"Nope!"

"Whoa!"

After a while, the guard ran over again, "My lord! General Xiao didn't leave, saying that he wanted to see the adults no matter what. ”

"That's not going to be seen either!"

"Whoa!"

Huang Yun was angry, he was a little hot, the red rash on his neck became more itchy and unbearable, he scratched hard, almost scratching blood.

"Your Excellency!" The guards came to report again, "General Xiao said that the adults must see him, and he is here to save the adults!" ”

"Humph! Save me!? This shameless thing! He still has the face to say such things?! Huang Yun scratched his neck, thought about it and said, "Forget it!" Bring him in for me! I'd like to see what he has to say! ”

"Whoa!"

"Come back!" Huang Yun stopped the guards again, lowered his head and whispered: "Listen to my orders for a while, and be ready to kill Xiao Shi at any time!" ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, several guards brought Xiao Shi into the camp tent, and Huang Yun sat in front of several cases, squinting at Xiao She, and said, "General Xiao, I heard that you want to save me?" Don't you know that I, Huang, can have today, all thanks to you! ”

"Hehe, Lord Huang misunderstood, if it weren't for the persecution of Lord Gonghui, I wouldn't dare to frame the adult."

"You and Gong are in trouble, hum! And Zhang Xun! It's not a good thing, it's just some sinister means, don't think I don't know. ”

"If you want to say that, Lord Huang's methods of dealing with Ji Zheng are not decent, right? To deal with vicious people, you have to use vicious means, don't you say? Lord Huang? ”

"You! Damn it! Huang Yun was suddenly angry, pointed at Xiao Shi and shouted loudly: "Someone! Take him down! ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards immediately rushed into the tent, and they all put their swords on Xiao Se's shoulders.

"Hehe, don't get excited, Lord Huang, if you're excited, your neck will itch even more."

Hearing this, Huang Yun gasped, "You...... You...... How did you! How? ”

"Lord Huang, what's so strange about this?" Xiao Shi said, and looked at the guards around him.

"Go down, go down, give it to me!" Cold sweat oozed from Huang Yun's forehead, he clenched his neck with one hand, and motioned for the guards to leave the camp with the other.

After the guards left, Xiao Shi sneered: "Lord Huang, don't panic, I said it, I'm here to save you, and besides, I not only want to save you, but also give you a gift." ”

"You...... You...... You poisoned me!? ”

"Lord Huang is afraid of poisoning, so the meals are made separately, and because of this, it is not difficult to poison adults."

"What kind of poison are you in?"

"You don't know, Lord Huang doesn't care about this, you just need to know a little."

"What!"

"That is, Lord Huang still has one day to live. So, please listen to me. ”

"You!" Huang Yun pointed at Xiao She, speechless with resentment.

"Of course, since I said that I came to save the adult, I don't plan to let the adult die now, and, hehe, I said, there is another gift for the adult."

With that, an imperceptible smile appeared on Xiao Se's face.
