Chapter 172: Negotiation
The crowd didn't say anything more, and at the same time, the soldiers also replaced Zhang Heng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wang Sen glanced at 14 Zhang Heng, only to see that he was injured, although he had been bandaged, but due to excessive blood loss, Zhang Heng's face was also pale at this time.
"Zhang Heng, let me ask you, when our army came to Xiliang, why did we only see Han Sui's army and Ma Teng's others? Why hasn't he shown up yet, is there really no court of Chen Liu? ā
Zhang Heng glanced at Wang Sen and said without fear: "Haha, Lord Wang, you are really good at quibbling, if the heroes are divided today, who will put the court in their eyes?" ā
"And you didn't come here on behalf of the soldiers this time to occupy Xiliang, then we will talk with our fists, why do you have to be so pretentious, and you will look like a fake for a while?"
Seeing Zhang Heng say this, Wang Sen was stunned for no reason, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to be an upright person, Wang Sen felt good in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Zhang, even if you want to listen to happy words, then I will no longer hide it, let me ask you, where is the main force of Ma Teng's army now?" ā
Zhang Heng showed a sneer on his face, he looked directly at Wang Sen and said: "I'm afraid this matter has disappointed adults, don't say that I Zhang Heng doesn't know, even if I know, I won't tell you." ā
"Now that I, Zhang Heng, am imprisoned, if I want to kill, I have to scrape and listen to the respect, if I Zhang Heng has half a sentence begging for mercy, I am not a man."
Looking at Zhang Heng's resolute appearance, Wang Sen also understood that he couldn't get any news from Zhang Heng, but he was not disappointed, after all, the purpose of calling Zhang Heng this time was to let him go back and inform Ma Teng to hand over Xiliang and return to Chenliu with him, so that everyone could avoid fighting each other.
And it is not bad for the Ma family to be a rich child after that, Wang Sen no longer asks about military affairs, and he persuaded him with good words...
"General Zhang, I respect you as a man, I don't want to embarrass you, it's better to let you go back now, and at the same time you tell General Ma my thoughts, let him hand over the military power, and follow me back to Chen to stay as an official, okay?"
Zhang Heng didn't expect Wang Sen to let himself go, and understood his intention, it seems that the court just wants to take back Xiliang, and for the Ma family, the court will not embarrass them, as Ma Teng's subordinate, I am really happy to hear this news.
"My lord, what you said is true, can you really do the Lord?"
Wang Sen laughed after hearing this, "Zhang Heng, my Wang Sen's personality is known to everyone in the world, as long as I can say it, then I must be able to do it, but I don't know if General Ma has the same idea as me."
As soon as Wang Sen's words were finished, Zhang Heng hesitated a little, not to mention, this is really a big problem, and at the same time, he also understood why General Ma did not come forward when he learned of the arrival of Wang Sen's army, but sent General Han to the front, it turned out that there was a problem of advance and retreat.
If Han Sui can defeat Wang Sen's army, then things will be much easier, Wang Sen's army will be withdrawn, and General Ma will still be his soil emperor in Xiliang.
And if you can't defeat it, then it's okay, it's a big deal to come forward to negotiate again, it's really a good way.
But now that Wang Sen asked him to speak to General Ma, the meaning is obvious, that is, to tell Ma Teng, don't play those careful thoughts, fight if you want to fight, come out to negotiate with you, and don't be lucky.
At this time, Zhang Heng's face finally showed joy, "Lord Wang, if you dare to let me go, I will give the matter to General Ma, hoping that he will make a decision as soon as possible?" ā
"Well, then there will be General Lao Zhang!" After speaking, Wang Sen asked the soldiers in the tent to send Zhang Heng out.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
And at this time, in the tent of Han Sui's army, Han Sui frowned, looking preoccupied, today's battle, he finally saw the history of Wang Sen's army.
The Xiliang army, which he has always been proud of, was defeated by the other party, and he also lost a general, how is this good?
Just when Han Sui was in a dilemma, Yan Xing stepped forward and said: "General, now it seems that this Wang Sen's army is really as legendary, there are countless capable people in the army, and the soldiers are extremely fierce, I think now we still report to General Ma and ask him to increase the number of troops as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really difficult for our army to resist." ā
This was the first time Han Sui had heard such words from Yan Xing's mouth, and it seemed that he had also met an opponent today, so Han Sui immediately asked, "Oh, Yan Ming, this is not like what you said, are you also in trouble?" ā
Yan Xing didn't hide it, and said in a fifteen-ten, "General, on the battlefield today, our army is almost the same, plus Wang Sen's subordinates have countless capable people, so our army will lose!" ā
"And today I tried with Wang Sen's general Zhao Yun, to be honest, Zhao Yun's silver method is really good, it is the most experienced one of the generals I have ever seen with guns, if I want to fight alone, I am afraid I can only last more than ten rounds, not to mention Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others."
"That's why I saw General Yi immediately inform General Ma, otherwise we have no hope of winning at all."
At this time, Han Sui also hesitated, not that he didn't want to inform Ma Teng of the matter, but that Han Sui and Ma Teng had discussed before sending troops, that is, if he could fight, he would fight, and if he couldn't fight, he would negotiate peace, but the most important point was that Ma Teng couldn't come forward.
But now that the war has just begun, he didn't expect that he would be hit hard by Wang Sen's army, and even if he wanted to negotiate peace, he didn't propose it so quickly, and the conditions for peace talks after that would definitely be very low, which Han Sui didn't want to see, and he was embarrassed at this time...
At this moment, the commander of the army appeared in the big tent and reported, "Report to your lord, General Zhang Hengzhang has returned to the barracks, and I am here to ask for a meeting, please make a decision!" ā
Han Sui and his men were shocked one by one, they didn't expect Zhang Heng to be alive, everyone was excited, and Chao Sui immediately said: "Please!" ā
It didn't take long for Zhang Heng's figure to appear in the big tent, and when Han Sui saw it, he immediately got up and asked, "General Zhang, I heard General Yan say that you died in battle, but you are fine now, what is going on?" ā
Seeing Han Sui's concern, Zhang Heng's heart was also warm, and he thought about it and explained the matter...
"General, in fact, I fainted to death after being picked off the horse by Zhao Yun, and after the end of the battle, I was discovered by the soldiers of Wang Sen's army, and I returned to the camp for medical treatment, so I picked up a life!"
"Oh, so you're a prisoner? But what's going on with you now? Han Sui asked again.
Zhang Heng thought about it for a while, and finally said Wang Sen's thoughts.
"General, Lord Wang sent me back to let me inform General Ma that they came this time just to take back Xiliang, and they didn't plan to dispose of anyone, if the Xiliang soldiers surrendered now, then everything can be discussed!"
"Really, that's what Lord Wang really said?"
"General Hui, this matter is very important, the lower officials don't dare to joke, General, should we inform General Ma of this matter first!"
Even though Wang Sen had already spoken so clearly, Han Sui finally felt a low breath in his heart, it seemed that Wang Sen's army was sincere in talking, and the matter would be much easier.
He also made a letter of resignation, informing Ma Teng of the situation on the front line here, so that he could make the final decision, and at the same time, Han Sui on the other side also notified his subordinate soldiers, hung up the truce card, and began to wait for Ma Teng's reply.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
This was the fifth day, and on this day, when Han Sui was discussing things with Yan Xing, he heard the herald report that Ma Chao came to the barracks on behalf of all the soldiers.
After hearing that the young master was coming, Han Sui immediately became happy, he glanced at Yan Xing, and the two of them immediately got up and went out of the tent to greet them.
At this time, a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in armor, appeared in front of Han Sui and Yan Xing, and when Han Sui saw the comer, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Nephew, why are you here?" ā
The young man, who looked less than double ten, said happily: "Uncle, after my father received your letter, he immediately let the child go on the road, and also informed my uncle that everything was carried out according to the prior agreement, this is a letter from my father to you!" ā
After Han Sui took the letter, he didn't rush to open it, but invited Ma Chao and others into the account, and then opened the letter and looked at it at a glance.
After reading it, Han Sui smiled and said, "Meng Qi, you came in time, otherwise if you wait like this, I don't know how to explain to the other party?" ā
"Uncle, I'm really sorry for making you embarrassed, this time my father asked me to come on behalf of all the soldiers, to listen to your orders, I don't know what my uncle plans to do next?" Ma Chao also asked seriously.
"Actually, there is nothing, the general has already explained in the letter that he can negotiate peace with Wang Sen's army, but we also have to fight for our rights, and we can't just let Xiliang out like this." Then Han Sui divided the tasks for everyone...
It didn't take long for Wang Sen to receive an invitation from Han Sui, saying that he had something to discuss, and hoped to meet him, of course Wang Sen had no problem, and came to the battlefield on behalf of his generals and five hundred elite soldiers.
At this time, Han Sui and the others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that Wang Sen really came as requested, they were also very happy in their hearts, and shouted: "Lord Wang, we have already notified General Ma of your proposal, but General Ma is now sick and will not recover for a while, so he can only send his son here, I hope your lord understands!" ā
At first, Wang Sen heard that Ma Teng did not come, and he originally withdrew to the army, but when he heard that Ma Chao was coming, Wang Sen finally stopped, thinking that Ma Teng was really sick? He turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia.
At this time, Guo Jia couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know what Han Sui meant? Then he asked: "General Han, I just want to ask, what we discussed, the son of General Ma, can he be the master?" ā
Han Sui didn't think about it and said directly: "Don't worry, I can guarantee this, the young master will definitely do it!" ā
"Okay, that's the case, then we'll be more straightforward, how can we be General Ma so that we can hand over Xiliang and return to Chenliu with us, and mention your conditions, right?"
Seeing Guo Jia coming out, Han Sui also introduced Ma Chao on the side, "Nephew, this is Guo Junshi, according to what I told you before, just say it directly!" ā
Ma Chao also stepped forward and said: "Guo Junshi, as long as the imperial court recognizes our identity, we don't have any other requirements." ā
"And my father is sick now, and his movement is not very convenient, do you see if you can slow down for a while, and when my father recovers, can I go to Chen Liu's face to see the saint?"
It seems that Ma Chao is right, but everyone knows that this is an excuse to push and delay. Who knows if he is sick or not, and even if he is really sick, who knows when he will be cured?
And it is unlikely that the court will recognize their identities now, who knows if after recognizing their identities, will the Xiliang people change their hexagrams?
Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Ma Gongzi, if you want to say this, it's too insincere!" Just by saying a word, let the court recognize your identity, this is too much to say! ā
"And General Ma is still sick, if it doesn't happen for a while, then the matter of Xiliang will be delayed like this?"
"Then what does Guo Junshi want, it's better to say it and listen to it, and we can do it!" Ma Chao had long known that the other party would say this, and what he said was just to raise the price, so that both parties had room to reduce the price.
"Okay, then it's better to take a step back, even if General Ma is seriously ill, why don't you ask Ma Gongzi to follow us to Chen Liu to take over General Ma's position?"
Ma Chao knew that he should come or come, Han Sui had already guessed that Guo Jia would say this, and he was ready.
"Okay, no problem, but I don't know much about Chen Liu, and I'm alone, I wonder if Guo Junshi agrees with me to replace some generals?"
This request is really not excessive, so Guo Jia also agreed, "No problem, as long as Ma Gongzi is willing, you can substitute as much as you want!" ā
"Okay, please give me three days to prepare, and how about I set off with the army in three days?"
Guo Jia glanced at Wang Sen, and only Wang Sen could decide this final decision.
Of course, Wang Sen understood what Guo Jia meant, nodded and agreed, "Okay, Ma Mengqi, this matter is up to you, and we will see you in three days." After speaking, Wang Sen left on behalf of the generals without looking back.
Looking at Wang Sen's back, Ma Chao and Han Sui's men and horses were all dizzy, they didn't expect Wang Sen to know Ma Chao's name, what the hell is going on?
Han Sui and the others all turned their heads to look at Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, you know Lord Wang Sen, how can he know your name?" ā
Ma Chao shook his head, he really couldn't understand, "Uncle, you also know that I have never left Xiliang, and I have never even met Lord Wang, how can I talk about acquaintance?" ā
Then Ma Chao seemed to think of something again, and asked, "Uncle, do you think there will be people from their palace in Xiliang?" That's why he knows so much, and this time, is our thoughts already known to him? ā
Ma Chao's words were exactly what Han Sui was worried about, and at this time he also felt a chill in his back, and he didn't know what to do?
But the matter has come to this point, even if Wang Sen knows, they can only grit their teeth and move forward, otherwise the matter will be big, but they can't do too much, but the time has not yet come. (To be continued.) )
