Chapter 236: Place of Negotiation
Zhou Qiang said that he wanted to negotiate, Tan Fa heard it, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, after all, Yue Ying had already formulated a plan to attack Shashi, and the men and horses were almost ready.
"Tan Fa, I'm here to spread the word on behalf of our Shashi King, shouldn't you inform your boss?"
Seeing Tan Fa's hesitant appearance, Zhou Qiang said in an accentuated tone.
Tan Fa was stunned for a moment and said:
"Okay, you wait here first, remember, don't play any tricks on Lao Tzu, otherwise, be careful and I will kill you on the spot."
Tan Fa explained a few words to one of his subordinates, and still surrounded Zhou Qiang and the others, and turned around and went to Xingyue Town.
A moment later, Tan Fa brought Tan Zong over.
Tan Zong took two steps forward, glanced at Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun and others, and said:
"You're here to negotiate?"
"How can we be qualified to negotiate on behalf of the boss, we don't come to pass the word, we, Yang Xiao, the king of Shashi, want to negotiate with your king of Yuezhou to negotiate and resolve the dispute over Xingyue Lake, everyone make an appointment to come out and talk to each other, and peace is precious!"
Hearing the three words Heweigui, Long Yongjun on the side almost laughed, but he couldn't bear it.
Tan Zong listened and smiled,
"What, you're scared? Want to throw in the towel? ”
"Tan Zong, you only need to tell your boss about this matter, as for the specific situation, it is up to the bosses of both sides to decide, not for you and my subordinates to decide, what do you say?"
Tan Zong thought for a while and said:
"It's not like I'm going to be able to answer you right away, I need to ask the boss."
"No problem, we can wait, you just give us a place to rest, you won't let us stand in the snow and wait, right?"
Tan Zong smiled:
"Okay, the two armies are fighting, don't kill them, Tan Fa, you take them to find a house where they can shelter from the wind and settle down temporarily, send someone to take care of them, and if they have any abnormal behavior, kill them on the spot."
"Yes, Boss."
Tan Zong turned and left.
Tan Fa looked at Zhou Qiang and said:
"You heard what our boss said, you twenty people, you'd better be honest, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite."
"Hehe, how can it? No matter how stupid we are, we won't have twenty people running to die, right? ”
"Well, it's good that you know."
Tan Fa took Zhou Qiang and the others to a dilapidated building nearby.
"This place can barely shelter from the wind, you can go in and rest by yourself, or the same sentence, don't play any tricks."
Zhou Qiang and others entered the building, and Tan Fa sent more than 100 people to surround the outside of the house.
"Brother, can you bake some firewood?"
Zhou Qiang grinned.
Tan Fa said angrily:
"You can go find firewood yourself, and you can only send five people out."
So, Zhou Qiang and Long Yongjun walked with the three of them to Xingyue Town, cut down a few big trees along the way, dragged the trunks and branches back, and lit a bonfire in the broken house.
Tan Fa sadly found that Zhou Qiang and the others were on fire, and he took a hundred brothers to stand in the ice and snow to drink the northwest wind.
After a while, the smell of barbecue came from the room, and Tan Fa and the others smelled it, and they wanted to scold their mother.
Zhou Qiang came out and said to Tan Fa:
"Brother Tan, come in and have a barbecue to warm up?"
"Don't play any bad ideas, I won't be fooled."
"Make a fire, as for it? There are still a hundred people outside of you, and there are twenty of us, even if we put you down, it won't solve the problem, what is there to be afraid of? Long Yongjun on the side said.
"I'm afraid? I'm afraid of an egg, why don't I eat a piece of barbecue? ”
Tan Fa said loudly, then explained to the brothers beside him, led the two people into the broken house, and sat down by the bonfire.
Long Yongjun handed a piece of roasted snow wolf meat to Tan Fa.
Tan Fa is not polite, he picks it up and gnaws it, and it feels really delicious.
Grilling the fire and eating barbecue, the hostility between each other was suddenly eased a lot.
Tan Fa sighed:
"Alas, if we don't fight, we can still be brothers, drink wine and eat meat together, this weather is so cold, what kind of trouble are you guys."
"What Brother Tan said is, didn't we take the initiative to sue for peace?"
"Hehe, I'll tell you, it's good that you came to sue for peace, otherwise, your sand market would be miserable, and our boss is ready to attack ......"
Tan Fa suddenly realized that he was speechless, so he quickly stopped talking and ate meat.
When Zhou Qiang and Long Yongjun heard this, they were shocked in their hearts, they remained silent, pretending not to hear, and chatted with Tan Fa, but no matter how they knocked on the side, Tan Fa no longer talked about the situation of attacking Shashi.
That night, Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun and others spent the night in a dilapidated house, Tan Fa and others were miserable, they actually had to keep vigil outside, one by one complaining bitterly, and they were so cold that they sneezed.
Later, it was really uncomfortable, Tan Fa simply took his brothers into the house, and Zhou Qiang and others gathered around to roast the fire, there were many people, and there was a lot of firewood, so he burned two more bonfires.
Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun and others behaved very gently, which greatly reduced the vigilance of Tan Fa and others.
Zhou Qiang asked everyone to take out all the barbecue and dried fish they carried with them, and roasted them for Tan Fa and others to eat, these people stood in the wind and snow for a long time, frozen and hungry, and you were not polite, they took it and ate it in a big gulp, where is there still a little bit of vigilance and guards? It's like a party between the two sides.
Some soldiers are not strict with their mouths, and they will also reveal a hint of information in their casual conversations with each other, such as:
"Alas, what's so good about fighting in this cold and snowy place, or we suffer."
Someone even asked Zhou Qiang's subordinates:
"Brother, how far is Xiaoyang Town from here?"
"About forty kilometers, right?"
"Damn, it's so far, if we run over, it's cold enough on the road."
......
Zhou Qiang and Long Yongjun also had a heart, but they just silently collected these words, speculated on the situation in Xingyue Town, and occasionally said loudly "Peace is good, the war suffers from our brothers below" and other grumbling words, these words can resonate with Tan Fa and others.
There was nothing to do overnight, and early the next morning, Tan Zong brought people over, and saw Tan Fa and Zhou Qiang and others walking in the house and sleeping around the bonfire, and he also frowned, but he could also understand the hard work of Tan Fa and others, after all, how uncomfortable it was to stand in this ice and snow all night.
Seeing Tan Zong come in, everyone immediately got up, Tan Fa was originally very worried, but seeing that the boss did not reprimand him, he was a little relieved.
Tan Zong walked up to Zhou Qiang and said:
"I reported your situation to the boss last night, and our boss said that it is okay to negotiate, let your boss come to Xingyue Town at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow."
"Xingyue Town, no!"
Long Yongjun immediately refused.
Tan Zong was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Xingyue Town is your territory, if our boss comes here, there is no guarantee of safety, this location will definitely not work."
"So where do you want to talk?"
"Xingyue Lake."
