Chapter 148
"Does the King of Chu have a great enmity with the Liao?"
"There is no enmity with the Liao people."
"Then why ......?"
"The Liao people have no enmity with Wuji, but they have enmity with the people of the Central Plains, and the enmity is as deep as the sea." Baili Wuji came down coldly.
Guo Wei understands the meaning of Baili Wuji, he has been in the Central Plains for more than ten years, from the Later Tang Dynasty to the present Zhou Lizhou, he has seen how many people in the Central Plains died tragically at the hands of the Khitans, and how many northern states and counties have become no man's land.
"If one day, Your Majesty leads the army to destroy Chu, will it kill the people of Chu?"
Guo Wei shook his head.
"If one day, Wuji led the army to destroy Zhou, Your Majesty thinks that Wuji will harm the people of Zhou?"
This question is a heart-wrenching question, but Guo Wei still shook his head, even though Guo Wei didn't want to admit it, but he knew in his heart that if Baili Wuji wanted to destroy Zhou, it was still possible.
"But Your Majesty should know that if one day, Liao destroys Zhou and Chu, then the people of the Central Plains will have no way to live, what a miserable scene it is? Shi Jin is shameless, ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun, since then the Central Plains has no natural barrier to resist the southern invasion of the Liao, no taboo and talent, one day, to recover the lost land, Your Majesty thinks so? ”
Guo Wei finally understood the meaning of Baili Wuji, although he was an opponent, but Guo Wei had to admire Baili Wuji's broad mind with the world, this world, with the respect of kings, and such a compassionate person is indeed too rare, Guo Wei thinks that he can't do it, if the Liao State can make peace with the Zhou State, Guo Wei does not want to be an enemy of the Liao State now. And Baili Wuji dares, which cannot but make Guo Wei admire, the king who wins the world on horseback always has a pride that others can't imagine.
Guo Wei said loudly: "The king of Chu is so proud, I admire it. If there is that day, a certain will definitely go on a northern expedition with the king of Chu. ”
Baili Wuji stood up when he heard the words and stretched out his hand.
Guo Wei saw this. also got up and stretched out his hand, the two shook hands and looked up and laughed, at this moment, there was nothing else in their hearts except the pride of recovering the lost land.
Heroes cherish heroes, at this moment, the two have a heart-to-heart connection. There is only one goal, Liao.
Long.
Baili Wuji withdrew his hand and gestured to ask Guo Wei to sit down.
"Your Majesty went north to fight Liao this time. Wuji could not give other help, but in the city of Xuzhou, the thousands of soldiers and more than 10,000 horses captured in this battle could be returned to their original owners. In addition, all Chu armies withdrew to the state of Chu. With the exception of Xu and Su, all returned to their pre-war status. Does Your Majesty think so? ”
Guo Wei was grateful, he naturally knew the significance of these more than 10,000 horses to the Chu State, Baili Wuji concentrated in the original Chu, Southern Han, and Southern Tang in a few years, but only gathered 12,000 war horses to establish cavalry, and this time against the Zhou army, it was discounted by 2,000 people, so when Baili Wuji proposed to return the prisoners and horses, Guo Wei was very moved.
But Guo Wei didn't understand it in his heart. Why does Baili Wuji have to Xu and Su Erzhou, and can even be exchanged for Cheng, Jie, Feng, and Qin.
"The King of Chu is gracious. A certain person received this love, but a certain wanted to ask, why did the king of Chu have to Xu and Su Erzhou? But to lay the groundwork for the convenience of attacking Zhou in the future? ”
Guo Wei could only guess this, but he didn't think that after today, Baili Wuji would attack Zhou brazenly. Just like how can I still be in the mood to attack Chu after today, there are some things that men understand, this kind of collision of hearts, unless there is an accident, otherwise the two will no longer be able to turn their faces and attack each other.
Baili Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks that Wuji will attack Zhou?" ”
Guo Wei also smiled and shook his head, but insisted on asking, "Then what does King Chu mean by this?" ”
Baili Wuji's worries are naturally not good to tell Guo Weiming, you can't say that you only have three years of life, and your successor will only have five years in power.
Seeing Guo Wei's momentum of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, Baili Wuji couldn't help but answer.
After thinking about it again and again, Baili Wuji pondered and replied: "Your Majesty, don't doubt it, Wuji wants Xuzhou definitely not to attack Zhou, if you really want to attack Zhou, where are the states of Chu, E, Guang, Shou, Hao, Chu, Hai and other states that do not border with Zhou?" I just ask your Majesty's forgiveness, there are some things that are not the time to talk about it now. ”
Guo Wei saw that Baili Wuji refused to say it clearly, so he nodded gloomily and said: "Since the King of Chu refuses to say it clearly, I just don't ask." ”
Baili Wuji saw that Guo Wei was suspicious, and said: "Wuji swears that as long as Your Majesty is alive, the Chu army will never take the initiative to attack the Zhou State, so can Your Majesty believe it?" ”
As soon as this oath came out, Guo Wei's heart was moved.
He replied loudly: "I also swear that as long as the king of Chu is alive, the Zhou army will never take the initiative to attack the state of Chu. ”
Hearing this, Baili Wuji stretched out his slap, Guo Wei laughed, and the two of them high-fived as an oath.
Baili Wuji hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Wuji has another request, I hope Your Majesty will grant it." ”
Guo Wei waved his hand and said, "King Chu, it's okay to talk about it." ”
"Please let Meng Chang go, Your Majesty."
Guo Wei was stunned, this Baili Wuji can't be crazy, right?
Do you really want to recover Shu and welcome back the Shu Emperor?
"What does the King of Chu mean by this? The land of Shu is now in your hands, and I have come to be this wicked person, so why should you bother yourself? ”
Baili Wuji naturally knew what Guo Wei meant, but the reason for this was that Baili Wuji couldn't speak.
"Thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but please rest assured, this Meng Chang has been named the Duke of Qin by His Majesty, and it is impossible to be the emperor again, he is Wuji's brother-in-law after all, Wuji just wants him to have a good ending, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
Guo Wei shook his head, this Baili Wuji really doesn't look like a king, it looks like a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he has a temperament.
Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, since Baili Wuji was not too troublesome, why should he be a wicked person.
Guo Wei nodded and said, "In that case, I will send Meng Chang to Jinling, and you can do it yourself." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
……。
When Baili Wuji received the Yunyang battle report and learned that he had captured Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commander of the Zhou army, he was furious, you Yunyang, you can't catch anyone, why did you arrest him?
This has obviously affected the layout of Baili Wuji, so Baili Wuji quickly sent a message to release Zhao Kuangyin, along with all the Zhou soldiers who were captured in Shu, and they could not stay for a moment.
Hopefully, it's business as usual and nothing changes. Baili Wuji prayed silently in his heart.
After that, the civil servants of the two countries traveled back and forth to Xuzhou, and in just five days, the armistice agreement was stamped with the seals of both sides.
And with the handshake of the kings of the two sides, the soldiers who were still preparing to fight just now were confused in their hearts, and they couldn't turn around this time, and in the blink of an eye, they changed from enemies to friendly soldiers.
On the morning of the sixth day, after saying goodbye to Baili Wuji in Xuzhou City, Guo Wei immediately led the army back to Kaifeng to prepare for the anti-Liao war.
And Baili Wuji ordered Liu Renzhen and Baili Yi to immediately return to their original station, and strictly ordered not to plunder and occupy the prefectures and counties.
ordered Baili Kang to lead the special combat army to defend Xuzhou, and Baili Wuji returned to Jinling Mansion by himself.
Then ordered Yun Yang to lead the Chu and Shu coalition armies to stay in place, and in the name of supervising the country, ordered the two envoys of the original Shu Yongping and Wutai to report to Jinling Mansion immediately. (To be continued......)
