9012213893 Chapter 184. The end of the war is the second volume of the oversized chapter.

One hundred and eighty-four chapters away, the end of the war, the second volume, the oversized chapter...※

When it was learned that peace talks were inevitable. There was silence all over Shangyuan City, and morale dropped greatly. Even Wang Han, who presided over the peace talks, was unhappy.

In order to get the court to retract its will, everyone did their best, however, the king's order could not be passed,

In the battle of Shangyuan City, at the very beginning, some people were to establish meritorious service, some people were to save their lives, and some people were to break away from the status of military households.

It's just that when the war goes on to this point, no one is willing to let the war be won. That's the end of such an inexplicable one.

Shangyuan City was silent, and everyone focused their eyes on Taishou Mansion, however, Xiao Mo didn't say anything.

It's just that when getting along with everyone, everyone found that after this incident, Xiao Mo seemed to be missing something and something more between his temperament.

Then, when he learned that Xiao Mo served as the deputy envoy for the peace talks. The people of Shangyuan City finally regained some vitality, and there were a little more smiles on the faces of the soldiers, because they knew that if it was Xiao Mo, at least they would not let their countless efforts over the past few days be in vain.

On the other hand, when Wang Han received the will of Emperor Chu Ling and learned that Xiao Mo would serve as the deputy envoy for the negotiation of the peace talks, when he got along with Xiao Mo, he became more polite and intimate, and he did not live in front of others to promote Xiao Mo's talent and role, saying that as long as Xiao Mo existed, this negotiation would be smooth sailing.

It's just that Xiao Mo can see that Wang Han is not happy about his appointment as the deputy envoy of the peace talks, after all, in this way, the merits he should have received after the success of the peace talks will be shared with Xiao Mo a lot. And the limelight of the peace talks envoys will inevitably be stolen a lot by Xiao Mo.

The world is changeable and unpredictable, originally Wang Han wanted to win Xiao Mo's merits, but he didn't expect it. In the end, he actually wanted to share his merits with Xiao Mo",

However, in fact, Xiao Mo didn't care about the identity of the deputy envoy of the peace talks, nor did he care about the merits he would get after the peace talks were successful, and he didn't care about the so-called prestige. I just don't want all the hard work of myself and all the soldiers in Shangyuan City for half a month to suddenly become worthless, that's all.

After all, history has long proved that in the feudal dynasty, for the so-called peace talks, whether they are in an advantage or a disadvantage, these people in power have always been not good at it, even a generation of ghosts, such as Zhu Yuanjiao, such as Li Shimin, not to mention Li Hongzhang, are all clumsy, compromise when they should not compromise, be tough when they should not be tough, and behave like a humble gentleman when they should not be polite and humble."

It's as if the steppe people are not good at negotiating business. Even if you suffer a big loss, you don't notice it, and you will even be complacent about it afterwards.

Sure enough, soon, Xiao Mo began to feel happy about his appointment as the deputy envoy for peace talks. Negotiations between the coalition forces have finally begun in earnest.

The place of the peace talks was set between Shangyuan City and the Qiu Clan's camp, and the two sides agreed that each could only lead a maximum of 500 guards to participate, and during the negotiations, the armies of both sides were not allowed to leave their respective city camps.

On this day, in the early morning, when the sky is slightly bright. Xiao Mo had already followed Wang Han to the scheduled negotiation site early, where the big tent used for the negotiation had been arranged a few days ago.

Then, Wang Han Xiao Mo and a group of Great Chu negotiators sat in their respective positions in the big tent, ordering the guards to be on guard, waiting for the arrival of the grassland coalition army to negotiate on our behalf.

however

"The barbarian is rude, he made me wait here for such a long time!!"

When the winter sun had completely risen and the sky was bright, according to the negotiation time agreed by the two sides, an hour had passed, but the peace talks of the grassland coalition forces were still missing.

The envoys of the Chu Dynasty to the peace talks, like a fool, waited here in vain.

Therefore, after waiting for a long time, even if the city government was as deep as Wang Han, he finally couldn't bear it, and he no longer had the original calm heart, so he waved his hand fiercely and threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and said coldly.

On the other side, seeing Wang Han's anger, all the accompanying officials were frightened, and cursed the arrogance of the grassland people together with Wang Han, but they did not dare to persuade each other at all.

Next to Wang Han, Xiao Mo was still sitting behind the low case, his expression was calm, and he even had time to take out a copy of "The Biography of the Tang Dynasty" and read it carefully, without the slightest hint of impatience.

Noticing the movement on Concubine Han's side, Xiao Mo finally diverted his attention from the books, raised his head and said with a smile: "Adults don't need to be irritable, this kind of situation is just a strategy for the barbarians." ”

Seeing Xiao Mo speak, Wang Han's complexion finally eased a lot, returned to his seat with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Zirou, you are kind-hearted, you can be so patient in such a big matter as peace talks." It's just that the grassland people are acting like this, obviously they don't take my Da Chu in their eyes, which is tolerable or unbearable!! ”

When you brought up the matter of peace talks, they no longer took Da Chu seriously.

Dignity is earned by oneself.

Although thinking like this, Xiao Mo's expression was still peaceful. After smiling slightly, he closed the book in his hand, but stood up instead, and said slowly: "In that case, Lord Privy Envoy, let's return to Shangyuan City." small

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wang Han, who was originally angry, was shocked, and asked incredibly: "Go back?" Why go back? It's not in order, right? ”

Xiao Mo shook his head, sighed softly, and said concave! "There is heavy snow today, and the situation is not good for the grassland people. We can afford to drag it. But they couldn't afford it. The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. What's more, now that the grassland people have not come for a long time, it is obvious that they do not take our Chu people seriously, in this case, why should we respect them? ”

After a pause, Xiao Mo said again: "The most important thing is that the two countries and the two armies are negotiating, and the most important thing is their respective momentum. Now the steppe people are arrogant and domineering, but we can't weaken our momentum and let them underestimate us. ”

In fact. Since Xiao Mo served as the deputy envoy for the peace talks, he wanted to discuss the details of the peace talks with Wang Han more than once, as well as the various strategies in his heart.

However, when Wang Han got along with Xiao Mo, although he was more polite and cordial, he always avoided talking about such topics, obviously not like letting Xiao Mo participate too much and share more merits in the future.

In this regard, Xiao Mo also felt quite helpless, and after several unsuccessful efforts, he simply gave up, and he already had another countermeasure in his heart.

It's just that in such a situation, Wang Han also had to consider Xiao Mo's proposal. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Han finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. nodded and said: "Zirou, you're right, we can't weaken our momentum and let those grassland barbarians look down on us like this." Now we can afford to negotiate now. ”

said. Wang Han ordered the officials around him: "Pass the order down and go back to the city!" ”

After hearing Wang Han's order, all the officials looked at each other, all of them showed their sheaths, and they bowed in unison. rate, the soldiers were even more nimble, and it didn't take long for them to be cleaned up. And Xiao Mo followed Wang Han's side, without hesitation, and returned to Shangyuan City together.

On the way, Wang Han was still talking with Xiao Mo about all kinds of interesting things between the wind and snow, officialdom and the literary world.1 Regarding the matter of peace talks, there was no intention of discussing them.

And although Xiao Mo couldn't stop nodding and smiling, he was thinking about all the responses during the future negotiations, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

Wang Han obviously guessed what Xiao Mo was thinking now, but it was still the same, and then shifted the topic to the meaning of the Four Books, which seemed to be quite good.

In the eyes of those who don't know, Wang Han just talked, Xiao Mo smiled humbly, Xiao Mo and Wang Han were so harmonious with each other, they couldn't detect the intrigues hidden under a harmony.

However. After everyone left the negotiation place, the net was halfway there, and the change was prominent.

I saw that in the direction of the Qiu military camp, smoke and dust protruded, and a large number of elite cavalry seemed to appear, and then stopped at the negotiation place agreed by the two sides, obviously the negotiation envoy of the grassland people saw it.

After noticing this scene, the scouts hurriedly reported the news to Wang Han and Xiao Mo.

Hearing the scout's report, Wang Han's face faintly showed a look of regret, obviously because he was stunned that he should wait a little longer.

But Xiao Mo's face did not change, he just said with a smile: "My lord, since we have left, if we turn back again, it will inevitably attract the shame of the grassland people. Let them understand that it is not possible to be so rude to anyone. ”

Wang Han frowned and said, "It's just, like this." But it has become rude for me to be a Chu person, and I will inevitably fall into the hands of others when I negotiate in the future."

Xiao Mo shook his head. Said slowly: "My lord, in the eyes of the lower officials, when negotiating, the so-called rudeness is also a strategy. What's more, this is the rudeness of the steppe people first, where can we be blamed? ”

Seeing that Wang Han still had a look of hesitation on his face, Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "If you are still not at ease. We slowed down the speed of our horses, and the lower officials dared to assert that before we returned to the city, those steppe people would inevitably send someone to invite us back. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wang Han looked at Xiao Mo in amazement, as if he didn't understand where Xiao Mo's confidence came from.

Meanwhile. Looking at Xiao Mo's calm look, giving people a kind of confidence, Wang Han felt for the first time that it seemed to be a mistake for him to keep Xiao Mo out of negotiations.

And just as Wang Han hesitated, the scout came to report again, saying that at the place of the peace talks, more than 100 steppe cavalry appeared and hurried towards their current location.

Hearing the scout's report, Xiao Mo smiled and said to Wang Han: "My lord, the grassland people have come to beg us to go back

Wang Han is not an incompetent person, otherwise it would be impossible to serve as a privy envoy, and Zhang Qian has been fighting against the court for decades, after getting the news, the original hesitation suddenly disappeared, and he sent an order to the left and right: "Pass the order, don't pay attention to those grassland people." Continue to return to Shangyuan City!! ”

After all that is said. Wang Han drove forward as a pioneer horse, while Xiao Mo followed with a smile.

It's just that. The speed of the driving process has been reduced a lot unconsciously. At a distance of two miles, more than 100 people had already caught up.

"All the soldiers are on alert!!"

As the steppe cavalry approached, one of the generals shouted loudly.

When the soldiers of the Chu army formed a defensive formation and protected Wang Han and Xiao Mo in the middle, the grassland army had already come to dozens of zhang away, and the original thunder-like rush suddenly stopped, turning from movement to quiet, but in an instant. It fully shows the elite and strength of the steppe cavalry

For the first time, they confronted the grassland cavalry on the plain, and many Chu soldiers, although they knew that their numbers were several times higher, still uncontrollably showed a panicked look.

And the grassland knights, looking at the slightly flustered Chu knights, showed disdain one after another, ready to move.

"You are the negotiators of the Chu Dynasty?"

After a moment of confrontation, a steppe man about thirty years old drove his horse forward alone, using an extremely strange Chu Yan. Yang Sheng asked. For the saber raised by the soldiers of the Chu army, they didn't look at it. In the absence of the envoy, Wang Han naturally would not surrender his identity to answer, so it was Xiao Mo who lined up the soldiers who were guarding in front of him, and drove his horse away under the worried gaze of everyone.

"We are the envoys of the Great Chu peace talks. Who are you? ”

After Xiao Mo left the queue of Chu people. first looked at the grassland man in front of him carefully, and then asked slowly.

Looking at Xiao Mo's slightly thin body, the disdain on the face of this steppe man became more and more obvious, and he said loudly: "Ben Khan is the Khitan leader Yelu A Xiaoji, today it is clear that you and I have already agreed to hold peace talks between the enemy camps, why did you Chu people leave suddenly?" Is it to look down on us steppe people? Do you want to restart the war? ”

Chu Yan was half-baked. But the threat is intended. But anyone can hear it.

Between the guards of the Chu army, Xiao Wang Han's face couldn't help but change slightly.

However, in the face of Yelu Axiaoji's threat, Xiao Mo was still calm, his eyes were fearless and met Yelu Axiaoji's fierce eyes, and he asked coldly: "Today's peace talks are clearly agreed to be on the occasion of the third watch, when the sun is rising. Why haven't you steppe people arrived? Not even a single briefing? Is it looking down on us Chu people? Or do you want to restart Warend? If this is the case, it is clear that we Chu people will accompany us to the end!! ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's tough expression. Wang Han in the rear, his face changed again, and he scolded Xiao Mo in his heart for being young and vigorous, not knowing how to distinguish the situation, and he wanted to interject eagerly, but then he seemed to have found something, and after being slightly stunned, he continued to be silent, silently observing the changes in the situation.

It turned out that Yelu Axiao Ji, who was originally domineering, was slightly stunned after hearing Xiao Mo's rhetorical question, and his originally strong momentum was actually stunned. Before you know it, it's starting to drop.

After a while, Yelu Axiao said angrily: "To tell you the truth, most of the leaders of our steppe tribes do not agree to this peace talks, and they have asked for war more than once in the past few days. Three days ago, you Chu people attacked my 30,000 grassland sons outside the capital, which made those leaders even more dissatisfied and angry. The reason why we are late today is precisely to appease the hearts of those leaders to ask for war, in fact, if it were not for me and the Great Khan of Bal Khan, the war between you and me would have resumed long ago

After a pause, Yelu Axiaoji's tone became more and more angry, and he said loudly: "Originally, we grassland people were very sincere about this peace talks, but now looking at the attitude of your Chu people, I am afraid we still have to seriously consider the matter of the warriors under our subordinates to ask for war!" ”

Another threat.

Xiao Mo suddenly laughed.

"I see, but we blame you." Xiao Mo said slowly.

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yelu A Xiao Ji showed a look of astonishment on his face, thinking that abandoning Mo was showing weakness, but the Chu officials and soldiers behind Xiao Mo had strange faces, and in their impressions, Xiao Mo should never be so weak.

Who knows, Xiao Mo's words have not been finished yet.

"In this case, we Chu people are not unreasonable, since the opinions of your grassland people are not yet unified, then this negotiation, we can postpone it for ten days, and then restart the negotiation after your grassland departments have unified their opinions and have no worries, how about restarting the negotiations?"

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yelu A Xiao Ji was stunned again.

The reason why he talked about the differences of opinion within the grassland tribes and the strength of the main battle faction was just to put pressure on the Chu people and let the Chu people deal with it carefully, otherwise the two sides would likely restart the war. In this way, under the caution of the Chu people, when negotiating in the future, the grassland people will naturally be able to take advantage of it.

However. Yelu Axiao didn't expect it. His words actually made Xiao Mo rebel against the army and propose to postpone the time of the peace talks for another ten days.

As a great khan of the clan, Yelu Axiao naturally knew that the current grassland coalition army could no longer afford to drag it out.

was deceived by Xiao Mo, a profiteer. Not to mention that the amount of grain and grass in exchange is insufficient, and when it comes to eating, you have to be careful, and you don't know how long it can last; It snowed heavily, but the steppe coalition army lacked military tents and winter clothing, and countless people fell ill these days; The Tang Dynasty has been exhausted for several months, and the grassland warriors who were originally like wolves are now war-weary.

As Xiao Mo mentioned before, the Chu people can afford to drag on this peace talk, but the grassland people can.

Therefore, when Xiao Mo's words. Yelu Axiao Ji was not a witty person, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Looking at Yelu Axiaoji's embarrassment. Xiao Mo smiled slightly, taking advantage of the other party's stunned expression, and suddenly asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to negotiate today?" Or ten days later? ”

"Nature is today,"

Yelu Axiao replied subconsciously. However, halfway through, his expression was already showing regret for his weakness.

Xiao Mo nodded and asked, "So, you can suppress the internal main battle faction and negotiate with peace of mind?" small

Yelu Axiao Ji showed a look of shame on his face, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Mo smiled and asked again: "In other words, something as late as today will not happen in the future?" ”

The voice is flat, compared to the Sheng Weiling people before Yelu Axiao Ji. But he wants to be more aggressive

Yelu Axiao Ji's eyes were about to erupt into flames, and his right hand was subconsciously pressed on the saber on his waist, but the situation was stronger than people, and in the end, Yelu Axiao Ji still gritted his teeth and nodded.

Xiao Mo laughed again. He nodded and said, "In that case, please also ask Your Excellency and several other Great Khans to meet with our Chu people's peace talks envoys on time tomorrow, and don't do today's incident again." As for today's negotiations, since the envoys of your steppe people seem to be late, and we Chu people have already left, then forget it. small

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo no longer paid attention to Yelu Axiao Ji, who had an ugly face, and drove his horse back towards the Chu army.

Yelu A Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Mo's back, his right hand was held on the hilt, sometimes loose, sometimes tight, and finally suddenly unsheathed the saber. Pointing at Xiao Mo, who was drifting away, he asked loudly, "Chu people, who are you?" Ben Khan remembers you!! ”

Xiao Mo didn't answer immediately, but still maintained the original speed, and only after returning to Wang Han's side, and waiting for the Chu army to guard him in the middle, did he raise his voice and say: "My name is Xiao Mo, I think you should have heard this name."

As Xiao Mo's words fell, all the grassland people, including Yelu A Xiao Ji, shook their bodies violently, as if the name Xiao Mo carried some kind of magic, and they all looked towards Xiao Mo with their eyes unblinking. His eyes were full of horror.

There were even some grassland warriors who originally looked extremely brave, looking at the thin Xiao Mo not far away, and they couldn't help but show panic.

They will not forget. How did the grassland warriors, who have always been invincible, be toyed with by the Xiao Mo in front of them?"

They will not forget. Xiao Mo used "Thunder Fire Demon Bull Blood-colored Heavenly Trench" and so on "witchcraft." "The countless nightmares they have done

They will not forget how vicious and ruthless Xiao Mo drove the people into chaos and caused nearly 100,000 deaths and injuries in one night."

For the brave prairie people, Xiao Mo is the devil.

It's just that no one thought that Xiao Mo, the demon who had brought them endless deaths, injuries and despair, would be such a calm and elegant young man.

And Yelu Axiao machine. After hearing Xiao Mo's self-introduction, he was even more surprised, and subconsciously wanted to drive the horse forward and cut off Xiao Mo's head with a knife.

But after seeing Xiao Mo in front of him, those well-guarded Chu army soldiers, he still had no choice but to give up. At the same time, there was a look of regret in his eyes, regretting that when the two faced each other before, he had a good opportunity, but he didn't take the opportunity to kill Xiao Mo in front of the battle.

Xiao Mo is immortal. The idea that the Chu Dynasty is immortal has been regarded as the truth by all the grassland people.

"Ahhh

Thinking of his previous weakness in front of Xiao Mo, and the same as he had been in the previous half a month, he was repeatedly teased by Xiao Mo between applause, Yelu A Xiao Ji suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and after a long time, he regained his composure, and after glancing at Xiao Mo viciously, he turned around and drove the horse away.

And the steppe warriors behind him, after being slightly stunned, also hurriedly followed.

Before leaving. Everyone didn't forget to look at Xiao Mo again, their eyes were either resentful or terrifying. The image of Xiao Mo is deeply engraved in the depths of his heart.

The enemy's resentment leads to terror, which is the best reward for oneself.

Therefore, Xiao Mo did not feel the discomfort that Wanfu pointed out, but after watching the grassland coalition army leave, he turned his head to Wang Han and said, "My lord, let's go back and come back tomorrow." ”

Xiao Mo's performance. Wang Han saw it in his eyes from beginning to end, and after hearing Xiao Mo's suggestion, he nodded silently, with a little complexity in his eyes.

Even, he didn't realize that Xiao Mo's decision to delay the negotiation time was already acting beyond his authority.

He just felt it. It seems that this negotiation, if he really does not let Xiao Mo participate, it will be an extremely stupid thing.

At least, if Xiao Mo exists, he will be relaxed in the face of those arrogant and unreasonable grassland people", and Xiao Mo's deterrence of the grassland people is even more than he imagined.

Between the drive of the horse. Wang Han no longer had the nature of talking to Xiao Mo about elegant things in the literary world, and was silent all the way.

Finally, halfway through, Wang Han finally spoke.

"Zirou, what do you think about this negotiation?"

When it came to Wang Han's inquiry, Xiao Mo smiled.

He knew Wang Han's rejection of himself as deputy envoy for peace talks, these days. Wang Han didn't even let Xiao Mo participate in the formulation of the peace talks plan at all.

After Wang Han touched the nail, he showed his role, and finally let Wang Han discover that as long as he had his own assistance. He can do everything smoothly and establish more meritorious deeds, and finally make Wang Han inseparable from himself at all."

This is Xiao Mo's response strategy.

"My lord, there are three strategies for the lower officials' hearts, and I ask you to give me advice."

Xiao Mo rode on a horse. After bowing to Wang Han, he said slowly.
