Chapter Seventy-Five—Leaving the Civil War (Under Negotiations)

At the same time when Chen Xinyu led the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army back to Weicheng with a tangled and complicated emotion, a restaurant located in the east of Weicheng with a large area suddenly burst out of a few sneaky figures. But in fact, what the proprietor wants to do now is indeed a crucial thing, because of his special status, he has to make a decision at this time that may lead to the collapse of their situation, which is really a helpless move.

The real identity of this proprietor is none other than an agent planted by the royal Chen family in Weicheng, just like Chen Xinyu also installed his own henchmen in the city, and he can report some important news in many cases. It's just that not long ago, the three secret agent intelligence points planted in Checheng have suffered a major blow, and the royal Chen family has cleaned up the entire city with vigorous and resolute means, so that Chen Xinyu has to order the temporary withdrawal of the three secret agents who are now in Checheng. Similarly, Chen Xinyu still ordered to launch a full-scale counterattack against the secret agents in the current domestic situation. These spies under Chen Xinyu are all very capable existences, and they have basically uprooted the spies sent by the Chen family of the royal family in three different locations in the entire Weicheng. The proprietor who opened a restaurant as a cover is relatively shrewd, and he finally kept his position through various relationships. It's just a pity that at this time, he thinks that his identity has not been exposed in front of his departure from the country. This was his own overconfidence, and when he and a few shopkeepers sneaked out of the restaurant, several guards on the opposite side who were monitoring the restaurant had immediately asked people to go back and report to the most important general under the throne of Empress Shengde, who was in charge of this matter. The general mainly manages the operations of secret agents and counter-agents.

After receiving the news, the general immediately dispatched several of his right-hand men, and he didn't want to be so directly startled. But in the current situation, after Chen Xinyu returned here, he had already felt the huge pressure on his shoulders, and the pressure from the front line was huge, which made the general have to make such a slightly helpless decision. He ordered his six henchmen to go out at once, trying to directly solve the problem in front of him.

The proprietor of this "drunken country" restaurant is actually very correct in his choice, at this time, the carrier pigeon does not fly directly from Weicheng to Weicheng, he would rather go to a farm outside Weicheng to release the pigeon. It's just that he didn't know that he had been monitored by the spies who had left the country early, and as soon as he left here, he and the three shopkeepers were immediately followed as soon as they left the drunken country restaurant.

The four majestic spies wearing relatively ordinary and simple gray and white robes had already come to the gate of Weicheng in advance, and understood the situation through the surrounding environment. Although the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't quite understand what kind of reason the current situation was causing the current situation in Weicheng City to suddenly become so tense, these soldiers had already seen the silver-edged token passed by the general, although they didn't know it well, but as an excellent soldier's execution, they still understood the situation as soon as possible. And immediately dispatched a few soldiers with relatively fast legs and feet, and began to spread the news everywhere on the entire Weicheng Tower.

The originally calm Weicheng City Tower suddenly began to move because of this news, and the soldiers who were originally in peace immediately began to have a normal or even more serious situation than their normal time, and the soldiers nervously searched for traces of the people coming and going below the city tower.

After all, there are a large number of soldiers on the city tower, and they have begun to show strong execution at the first time of mobilization, and in the execution of this matter, they are elite soldiers guarding Weicheng, and the ability they show at this moment is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. In a short time, several soldiers from the south of the city came back at a rapid pace to report to the general's henchmen, who were now on the tower east of Weicheng City to observe the surrounding situation, and after hearing this report, they immediately ran briskly towards the south of the city.

At the gate of the south of the city, these henchmen and soldiers clearly saw a few drunken proprietors who were running quickly outside the city, and a few shopkeepers walking quickly outside the city. These henchmen and soldiers couldn't help but sneer secretly, "Hmph, these people want to expose our bottom line, so it's no wonder that we directly hurt the killer."

Thinking of this, these henchmen and soldiers immediately walked quickly to the bottom of the tower, they were extremely loyal to the people who left the country, no matter who they were, they would never spare them if they wanted to betray their interests in leaving the country.

As these henchmen walked down the city tower, the city tower in Weicheng suddenly began to become extremely calm, and the soldiers who were originally in a nervous mood also began to become calm. The middle school on the upper floor of Weicheng City has come out of the recent series of tensions. With the issuance of Chen Xinyu's holy decree, the officials and people in Weicheng returned to normal life from the tense environment, and ordinary officials and soldiers never mentioned the war situation of leaving the country and sending troops did not achieve the expected results

Ten days later, a surprising news came from Weicheng, the capital of the country that had left the country relatively calmly, and Zhu Ning, the deputy prime minister who was sent to negotiate with the imperial Chen family on the Weiku Plain, delivered a very good news, and now the internal stability of the imperial Chen family is not very stable, and the relationship between Zhao Ling, the general who commanded 50,000 troops on the Weiku Plain, and Wang Ren, the governor of Checheng, is not good, and Wang Ren will never allow Zhao Ling to use more than 10,000 captives and leave the country to negotiate without authorization, because the head of the royal Chen family, King Che, has not been in Checheng until now, and he cannot be the governor of the current situation。 Since Wang Ren was now the governor of Checheng, he did not agree with Zhao Ling to make such an unauthorized decision.

Zhao Ling was very annoyed by this, he himself didn't look down on this civilian general Wang Ren, he and Xia Cheng were very good friends and comrades-in-arms, and in many ways the two of them were relatively consistent. For example, they were reluctant to be obstructed by Wang Ren, and they didn't want to turn their faces with Wang Ren before, but now they really couldn't bear it. Especially Xia Cheng in the north, Xia Cheng returned to the city because of the 5,000 troops that he could have commanded under his command in the time of breaking into it, which directly led to the direct bankruptcy of Xia Cheng's original plan, and the 40,000 troops of the Northern Army lost at least half, which was something that Xia Cheng was extremely angry about but helpless. He is now helpless to lead the remnants of the army to retreat back into the sphere of influence of the royal Chen family. However, the treatment suffered by Xia Cheng did make Zhao Ling feel some sympathy for him.

Now, Zhao Ling's heart was filled with anger, and he really couldn't bear to have such a situation. Wang Ren even commanded him and didn't let him negotiate with the country, which Zhao Ling really couldn't bear anymore.

After Zhao Ling had a conversation with his confidant Jiang Yuan, he finally felt that he had to take the initiative to choose to leave the country to negotiate regardless of the pressure given to them by Wang Ren. The situation at this time is also relatively grim, on the one hand, two foreign armies are still eyeing their south. Although they have already defeated the departure of the country, they have thwarted the strategic plan of the departure of the country to advance together with the north and the south. However, this does not mean that they now have the conditions to completely defeat the departure country, and they still use surprise battles to achieve victory. In this case, it is better to let these soldiers who leave the country redeem them at a high price. In this way, not only will they be able to obtain at least a large amount of war reparations, but they will also be able to suppress the arrogance of leaving the country and the possibility of sending troops again.

After Jiang Yuan and his own thoughts, Zhao Ling changed the plan he had originally considered, and he took the initiative to receive the envoy who had left the country, Deputy Prime Minister Zhu Ning. During the negotiation process, Zhao Ling also took out a gold medal given to him by the previous head of the Chen family. This gold medal is enough to prove his identity, and he can represent the royal Chen family and leave the country for formal negotiations.

Zhu Ning also knew this, after all, although their general Wang Yan in the north had won a crucial victory, this could not reverse the current situation, but it could only increase the bargaining chips by two to three percent. Of course, Zhu Ning himself knows that they are in a weak position now, and it is not too big a failure to take the lead in showing weakness. Therefore, he naturally did not mention the current war situation in the north, and they only discussed the current situation in the south, mainly the placement and follow-up of the more than 10,000 prisoners.

After two days of negotiations, Zhao Ling and Zhu Ning finally reached a consensus, and now at this time, the most basic thing they have to do is to abide by each other. In this written reconciliation document, Zhao Ling made it clear that the conditions for the release of the more than 10,000 captives were to cede several neutral boundaries around the Weiku Plain to the imperial Chen family, and because of this news of peace, the country must also withdraw the "thief" holy decree issued by Chen Xinyu before, and officially recognize the existence of the imperial Chen family, and they can no longer be regarded as rebellious existences. This written settlement document was signed by Zhu Ning and Zhao Ling, the two negotiators, and was sent to Weicheng and Checheng respectively. Since then, the original vigorous crusade of leaving the country has ended in the current helpless pursuit of peace. At this time, although the interior of the country calmed down, the battle on the two continents began to slowly unveil at this time
