On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yuxue sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and Marquis Jingyuan was very excited when he learned the news, and immediately brought someone to welcome the envoy in. Mo Yun has been founding the country for so long, and there are not many times when other countries can take the initiative to propose peace. And now, when the Jingyuan army only has 30,000 horses, it is naturally best not to start a war.

Yuxue's envoy is Zhang Chengxiang's cousin, Zhang Zichen, a soldier in the military department, a person in his fifties who is well-maintained and chubby. It's just that although this person came to negotiate peace, he was arrogant, and in front of Marquis Jingyuan, he was more like the side that won the battle.

Usually both parties have the intention to negotiate peace, at least the king agrees first, and then the parties send ministers to negotiate, of course, the ministers will determine the general conditions before coming, at least the people who negotiate will know where the range of floats is. Then the requesting party is to make a sincere offer to pay the amount or amount of gold, silver, grain, and grass, and then the winning side begins to bargain until the two sides reach a preliminary consensus on compensation, and if the difference between the two sides is not too large, the envoys of the two countries can settle down and sign a peace treaty.

Qianzong handed over the war to Yun Yuhong, so this matter had to be decided by Yun Yuhong, but Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu went to the military camp outside the city to visit a few children early in the morning, so Marquis Jingyuan invited Zhang Zichen in first, and talked with Zhang Zichen as a principal.

Zhang Zichen was actually the main battle faction in the Yuxue Country, and after the second prince returned to Yuxue, he advocated a crusade against Mo Yun and made Mo Yun pay the price for humiliating him. Yuxue Guojun obviously also had the intention of going to Moyun, so he sent Jiang Rui to lead the army. It's just that who would have thought that although the war went smoothly at the beginning, as soon as the ghost king made a move, the 200,000 army was wiped out almost instantly, and more than a dozen generals and deputy generals were captured, and even more than half of the troops guarding the border were lost.

The news of the defeat on the battlefield shocked Yuxue's government and the opposition, and the ministers were naturally divided into two factions, one faction was the main battle, led by the second prince and the fifth prince. One faction is the main peace, mainly the three princes and some civil servants. The result of the original discussion was that the main battle faction had the upper hand, and the Jade Snow Monarch originally decided to send Jiang Marquis, the father of Jiang Rui's formation, to lead another 200,000 troops to attack Moyun. It's just that Jiang Ruizhen suddenly came back, saying that the ghost king let him go, as for why the ghost king let him go and why he didn't let others go, Jiang Ruizhen's statement is not convincing. For a while, people's eyes towards the Jiang family became uncertain, and some people privately speculated that the ghost king might have some unspeakable friendship with the Jiang family. This made Yuxue Guojun dispel the idea of sending Marquis Jiang to send troops.

Of course, Yuxue Guojun also heard the news of the defeat of several other countries, and when he heard that Zeyu Country had not yet moved, he thought about it and felt that he could play a trick of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind. He first pretended to make peace, avoiding the edge of the ghost king, the ghost king was very powerful, so he asked her to fight against other countries, and then he would shoot when her strength was almost exhausted, and then he could easily take down Mo Yun. Therefore, he sent Zhang Zichen, a minister who was not in the first place, to discuss peace matters.

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu have gotten along very sweetly in the past two days, and the two are inseparable all day long, envious of others. Today, I heard that there was a ring in Yunxiang's army, and the two remembered that those children had not been asked since they were thrown in, and they felt a little guilty, so they came to see them, and by the way, they watched the excitement. This time, a few children went up early to fight, not to mention, the hardships of the past two years have not been in vain, at least a dozen rounds can still stand on the stage, so that the generals have to look at these children differently, of course, some people also have to admit that the centurion in the ghost king's army is indeed worthy of his reputation.

General Wu was so happy to see the performance of several children, and shouted to the audience: "Don't you usually think that you are very powerful, how can you beat a few children, you are not ashamed, a few more come up, if you can't win, all of them will be trained for two hours today." ”

The soldiers below are also holding back their strength to defeat a few people, they eat more salt than these children eat, and it is too embarrassing for adults to beat children if they can't win.

Yun Yuhong watched everyone laughing, and she was quite satisfied. Originally, a ragtag army was integrated by General Wu and General Gao in a few days, but now they get along harmoniously, at least the morale is there, as for the combat strength and experience, I am afraid that it will be too late, and I can only hone it on the battlefield.

The two had planned to wait for the fight to end and have a good chat with a few children, but the stingy ghost came in a hurry. He helped Mr. Ning to pass the word, Yuxue sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and looking at the meaning of Marquis Jingyuan, he was also inclined to negotiate peace.

Yun Yuhong frowned when she heard this, she didn't care about things these days, she wanted to accompany Bai Ziyu for a few days, but she made some people forget who was in charge, and she dared not discuss such a big matter with her before deciding, it seems that she can't do it if she doesn't make a move. looked at Bai Ziyu and saw that he was also looking at him gently, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, which made her feel a monstrous anger towards Jingyuanhou in her heart.

Riding back to the mansion with people, Yun Yuhong stopped the people who wanted to report, but walked directly into the hall with Bai Ziyu, and just heard Zhang Zichen saying in an arrogant tone: "The conditions I gave are already the bottom line, if you don't see you on the battlefield, you know, although the peace is proposed by our country, it is only the mercy of our monarch, and I can't see the people suffering, but I can't beat you." ”

Yun Yuhong was so angry when she heard this, she shouted: "Even if you want to negotiate peace, give him an attitude of wanting to negotiate peace, and if you can't beat us, isn't the fact already there?" ”

Seeing Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu walking in, Marquis Jing Yuan stood up from the main seat, in terms of official level, he is lower than the ghost king, this rule still has to be observed, Yun Yuhong didn't look at Marquis Jing Yuan, and walked directly to the main seat and sat down. Jing Yuanhou's face was ugly, but it was not good, so he could only let people move the chair again.

Zhang Zichen looked at this arrogant and domineering but very young woman, this should be the famous ghost king. The momentum is not weak, but it is too young, and it is not sophisticated and sleek enough from the perspective of handling things, it is still a little tender, and it is not enough. He asked, "Presumably Your Excellency is the Ghost King?" ”

Yun Yuhong didn't pay attention to him, but picked up the documents on the table and read them, and read in his mouth: "Yuxue will compensate 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 quintals of grain and grass, and Mo Yun needs to release the captured Yuxue generals and soldiers." That's it? Yuxue suddenly attacked my three cities, killed more than 200,000 of my soldiers, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people, without a single explanation? Just pay this compensation? ”

Zhang Zichen said lightly: "Our side has also suffered heavy losses, and we are willing to take the initiative to take a step back." ”

Yun Yuhong smiled angrily, "Benevolence and righteousness? The peace between the two countries turned out to be the grace of your Yuxue country, where did you Yuxue put my Moyun? ”

Yun Yuhong threw the paperwork in his hand to the ground, and Marquis Jing Yuan continued: "I also think that Yuxue's compensation is too small, and I hope that Lord Zhang will discuss it with your monarch after he goes back." ”

Yun Yuhong really wanted to hit the wall this time, she forgot that there was a Marquis Jing Yuan who was holding her back. Ignoring Marquis Jingyuan's words, it is not up to him to decide whether to fight or make peace. Just before that, her words must be made clear.

Zhang Zichen still said lightly, a little arrogantly: "Don't you just want to have more money, this is the limit, I don't have to ask, no matter more, there will be no more, you have to think about it." ”

Yun Yuhong slapped the table and said: "It's not about money, and I, Moyun, are not something you can send with money, and I want to ask you Yuxue for justice." Last time, I asked your country to give an explanation about the death of Emperor Yuxiang, but your country has not answered, and now your country suddenly sent troops to attack Moyun, and did not give an explanation. If you lose the war, give some money and come out, you want to smooth it all out, is it up to you to say whether it is a war or a peace? You'd better remember to me that it's you Yuxue who is defeated now, and you can't decide whether to fight or not. If you want a truce, you can explain these two things to me, I can pay no compensation, but I must do justice. ”

Zhang Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that the ghost king was difficult, but he was also reasonable, which made people unable to refute it for a while, this ghost king was much more difficult to deal with than Jingyuan Hou. It's just that Mo Yun will really take the initiative to start a war with Yuxue? There are only hundreds of thousands of troops here, and I haven't heard that the ghost king is deploying troops, so it is unlikely that he will fight. The ghost king is so aggressive, but in the end, it just falls on more compensation.

Zhang Zichen finally said with a straight face: "Since my country proposed peace, it is naturally sincere, Yuxue only acted because of the matter of the second prince and was angry for a while, as for the matter of Princess Yuxiang, it was because of the jealousy between the women in the house, and it was really unnecessary to put it between the two countries." ”

Bai Ziyu sneered: "Yuxiang Imperial Aunt is also a princess of a country, I really don't know which woman dares to attack the princess, she is not bullying a prince and concubine, but she doesn't put my Moyun Kingdom in her eyes at all, how can you use your words to compete for favor between women." At the very least, you will also return to your monarch and hand over the relevant people to our country. ”

Zhang Zichen was taken aback, and immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible, how to punish my country, His Majesty will arrange it himself, those are all famous ladies of my country, how can I leave it to you to deal with." "There's still his woman in there, how can she hand it over.

Yun Yuhong said: "Then there is no need to talk about it, Lord Zhang hasn't seen me since he came in, which is too rude, but I can't let you go back without giving some gifts." Come on, pull him down for me and beat me on the twenty boards, and then coax him out. ”

Zhang Zichen was in a hurry, and shouted: "You dare, I am Yuxue's envoy, you beat me and hurt Yuxue's face, don't think about making peace anymore, you will regret it..."

Marquis Jingyuan wanted to stop him when he saw that the two were talking, but he was stopped by Bai Ziyu, and several soldiers stepped forward and pulled Zhang Zichen, who was shouting endlessly, to go down, and after a while, there was the sound of boards and cries in the courtyard.
