The Russians, who had several times the strength of the Xia Mong army, asked for negotiations, and this news greatly stunned the Huaxia side, who was preparing for the contingency. However, the Beihai Metropolitan Protectorate had already made up its mind whether to conduct border negotiations between the two countries, so Murong Jingming, who had fled back to Xihe City (Cheremkhovo) in a hurry, sent a wide range of sentry posts to guard against a sudden attack by the Russians in the smoke of the peace talks, and on the other hand sent someone to report to An Wenhua of Ulan-Ude (Selengsk), asking him to come to Huxi to preside over the overall situation.

"This official Huaxia founding man, Cheng Shilang, first-class lieutenant, the prince of the school washes the horse, and the Privy Council of Beihaixing, Gao Huan."

"This official is Baron Anthony Prio Sergeyevsky, Commissioner of Finance of the Irkutsk Province of Great Russia."

Naturally, there would be no big names in the preparatory meeting, but because of the deception of the founding man in Gao Huan's title, the Russians still sent Baron Sergeyevsky, who had been in contact with Wang Ying, in reciprocal terms.

"This official is instructed to consult with the Oros Congress on the venue for formal negotiations between the envoys of the two countries." Gao Huan, who is equivalent to the status of a Russian captain, said straight to the point. "We believe that the place of negotiation should take place somewhere in the city of Bratsk or on the outskirts of Bratsk."

"We believe that since we are discussing the border between the two countries, it will inevitably involve our territory in the Irkutsk province," Baron Sergeyevsky said-for-tat. "Therefore, it is appropriate to do it in the city of Irkutsk, the capital of the original province, and of course, the city of Irkutsk has been burned for your country, so it can be done somewhere outside the city."

"You Rakshasas are so interesting." Gao Huan, who is not a professional diplomat, smiled rudely. "If you lose on the battlefield, you want to come back when you move your mouth, I don't know if you are thick-skinned? Or are you inherently shameless? Well, you should come to Irkutsk with your troops, and the two sides don't need to talk much. ”

"Captain, is this what your country is ultimately about?" Gao Huan tried to find out why the Russians took the initiative to negotiate, but Baron Sergeyevsky, who did not know that the main forces of the eastern aid army were retreating in batches, rarely hardened. "If your country still wants to solve the problem with war, then Russia will accompany you."

Gao Huan, who felt that the Russians had a tough attitude and had the will to resist on the other side, stood up without hesitation: "Then, let's stop here, you and I should use swords and guns to decide the territory." ”

Baron Sergeyevsky sat still, while the third secretary who had come to Bratsk with Count Magnitogor on the side said: "Captain, no, Your Excellency, the war has brought great calamity to this land, and we should have the courage to prevent it from continuing and lay the foundations for a permanent peace between the two countries." ”

In fact, Gao Huan did not have the authority to decide to terminate the negotiations, so he sat down again after the Russians retained him: "Permanent peace? Guts? Does letting you into Irkutsk mean that we have the courage to hope for peace? It's a joke. Of course, I can promise you to enter Irkutsk, but after entering, will you be able to get out alive? ”

Baron Sergeyevsky, after secretly cursing the barbarian, said in a sarcastic tone: "In Europe, the personal safety of the emissaries of the warring countries is also protected. ”

"I know, I know, isn't it that the two countries are at war and don't kill each other, this dynasty has known it for thousands of years." Gao Huan pouted at the fake Baron Sergeyevsky. "I didn't say that I would use force against the negotiating envoys, but I was referring to those malicious people who vainly tried to break into our military-controlled areas through the peace talks, and if they have the courage to break into the territory of our DPRK, don't expect to leave alive."

The Russians did not know the phrase "Sang scolded Huai", but they could also hear what the subtext of Gao Huan was, so the third secretary who was present at the meeting corrected him: "Baron, please note that Russia does not recognize the Nakhnibaikal region as your territory until the peace talks between the two countries have been concluded. ”

"I'm really good at talking." Gao Huanpi said with a smile. "However, this official will never agree to put the official negotiation address of the envoys of the two countries outside Irkutsk."

The two Russians looked at each other, and then Baron Sergeyevsky took a step back: "If the Chinese envoys feel that Irkutsk is not acceptable as a place for negotiations, then we will build yì in Angarsk." ”

"That's not the same." Gao Huan interrupted. "I'm still building in Tulum." Tulun is located in the steppe of a tributary of the Angara River in the south of Bratsk, about fifty miles northwest of Zima (Xia), and was also part of the de facto control area of the Xia army, although the small city was also destroyed by the Xia army. "Well, the official's concession is big enough."

"Tulum?" The third secretary exchanged an inquiring eye with Baron Sergeyevsky for a moment, and then said to Gao Huan. "It's better to set the place of negotiation in Jima."

"Jima?" Gao Huan thought for a moment, he was authorized to be on the side of any tributary of the Angara River, so the Russians had actually met his psychological expectations, just to increase the time of warning, he would inevitably further expand the buffer zone of the two armies. "Fifteen miles north of Jima (summer), I remember there was an abandoned farmstead over there."

"84.36 versts." After calculating the distance, the two Russians finally agreed. "Yes, you guys, let's move on to the next question." Baron Sergeyevsky then made an outrageous request. "Our side built yì, the missions of the two sides each carried 5ooo escort soldiers and 4o cannons during the meeting, and in addition, around 3ooo versts, the two countries cannot deploy troops, so as not to cause misunderstandings and disrupt the negotiations."

Gao Huan's first thought was that the Russians were testing the total number of troops of the Xia army, after all, it was not a simple matter to easily take out 5,000 guards and 40 cannons, and it could only be achieved if their own troops were very sufficient; And his second thought was that the Russians were ready to use the peace talks as an excuse to attack the high-ranking officials of the Chinese side and encircle the 5,000 soldiers and horses.

It was based on the above two judgments that Gao Huan, who had suppressed his anger, asked in a chilling tone: "Five thousand people, forty artillery pieces, a skirmish is enough, are you sure this is to participate in peace talks?" ”

Without waiting for the Russians to explain, Gao Huan said again: "There are no other troops within fifty-three (summer), how can this be guaranteed?" ”

Before the Russians could say something, Gao Huan put forward his counter-opinion: "Each side of the embassy can have an escort of 500 people, but neither of the two escorts is allowed to carry any artillery, and in addition, we are not allowed to station troops of 1,000 troops within 53 (summer) of the negotiation site, and these troops will not be allowed to enter the negotiation site within 10 summers, but they should be allowed to conduct necessary reconnaissance around the perimeter to prevent any side from violating the law." ”

"Baron, please, wait a moment." The third secretary took Baron Sergeevsky and walked out, and he didn't know if he had asked Count Magnitogor, and when the two returned to the field, they gave Gao Huan a clear answer. "For our mission, the strength of the convoy can be controlled at the size of 3ooo people, and it can be carried without any artillery, but only 5ooo soldiers are allowed to be retained in 3oo versts around the negotiation site to supervise the possible hostilities of the opposing army??????"

"My lord, I've talked to the Russians," and when Gao Huan returned to Hexi City, An Wenhua had already arrived. "The Russians agreed to hold formal negotiations north of the city of Zima, but insisted on maintaining the strength of the Mission's convoy at 2,500 men, which the lower officials suspected of fraud." Of course, Gao Huan did not know that Count Magnitogor had only three thousand Cossack cavalry with him. "But the lower officials won that both sides could keep five hundred cavalry within fifty (summer) miles around to monitor each other's main forces??????"

After Gao Huan retreated, An Wenhua asked Murong Jingming, "Lord Murong, do you think this matter is suspicious?" ”

"Xia Guan thinks that the Rakshasa people don't have to be so deceitful." Murong Jingming couldn't figure out what the Russians were up to. "If you want to say that you want to deceive the adults, I'm afraid you can't say it, after all, the Rakshasas don't know who we are the main envoys of the peace talks, but the Rakshasas are very likely to take the opportunity to probe the combat strength of our army."

"What Lord Murong said is extremely true." An Wenhua also has concerns in this regard. "Once the Rakshasas know that our army is only 6,000 soldiers and horses, they are afraid that they will turn their faces directly, even if the Rakshasas have scruples and do not turn their faces directly, they will take the opportunity to ask for more territory." An Wenhua is paving the way for the possible loss of the Verkhniy Baikal region. "And at the moment, the Rakshasas may just speculate that we are short of troops, but if we get entangled in this issue, the Rakshasas will naturally understand."

"Yes," Murong Jingming also frowned. "2,500 soldiers and horses, if all our army is used, I am afraid that all the elites of our army will be exhausted, and once there is a loss, it will be out of control. But if you only use the Mongolian righteous army as a façade, I am afraid that the Rakshasa people will also think that our army is strong outside the middle, and this proportion is not easy to grasp. ”

While the two were in doubt, a staff officer shouted outside the tent: "My lord, reinforcements from Hudong have arrived." ”

"Reinforcements?" The two looked at each other. "What's going on? Where did the reinforcements come from. While speaking, An Wenhua and Murong Jingming walked out, looking at the Xia army cavalry from far and near, An Wenhua's face suddenly turned white. Wang Muxi, he, shouldn't he have transferred all the soldiers and horses from Zhenrong in Hudong, he is desperate. ”

At this time, the chief officer of the reinforcements appeared in front of the two under the guidance of the staff officer, and Murong Jingming immediately asked: "Lord Huang, why did Lord Wang send you all here, don't you want to defend Hudong?" ”

Huang Ruzhen, the supervisor of the second division of the hussars, responded with a smile: "The two adults don't have to worry about the loss of Hudong, no, the upper fleet of Heilongjiang received the troops of the first division of the Longxiang army, so it also reinforced one of our brigades. ”

Murong Jingming breathed a long sigh of relief: "I see. ”

An Wenhua also said: "Now you can fight with the Rakshasa ghost, that Gao Huan is, let him work hard again, tell the Russians, we agreed, let's negotiate??????"
