"Where is the main city?" I asked.

Bai Qi said to me: "In the belly of the whole continent, Xinjing. ”

I hummed, and I paused and said, "When I'm done dealing with the affairs of the East China Sea, let's go out and talk about it in detail." ”

Bai Qi said yes.

Li Chuntian asked me again: "Your Majesty, what will you do with the 100,000 or so surrendered troops?" ”

I replied, "When the matter is settled, let them go back to their respective homes." ”

I wanted to deal with the surrender of troops in vain, but I was directly killed. Naturally, Bai Qi's methods are different. In the afternoon of the next day, Lord Yu, the prime minister of the East China Sea court, arrived in the military tent, and there were several other adults who came with him.

They knelt before me and came to me.

I told them to get up and speak.

I said to you, "You will be in charge of this meeting." ”

Lord Yu was much more respectful and said to me, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Lord Yu is also a smart person, and then asked me: "Your Majesty, what kind of rights and interests should we fight for in the East China Sea at this meeting, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

I asked Mr. Yu rhetorically: "If we negotiate, we must first have chips in our hands, and with chips, we will have the confidence to negotiate. ”

Lord Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows, first, it occupies the entire territory of the Dragon King of the North Sea, second, the Dragon King of the North Sea is in our hands, and third, there are still a large number of troops in the South China Sea and the West Sea in our hands. ”

I hummed, noncommittal, I continued: "The rights and interests of the East China Sea are, first, will not evacuate the North Sea, two, will not release the Dragon King of the North Sea, even if someone is re-elected as the Dragon King, it must not be the Dragon King of the North Sea, and third, let them understand that our East China Sea is still the East China Sea where the old Dragon King was before, and it is still very strong, and it is not something that others can easily trample on, and fourth, if it is found that someone in the Four Seas has colluded with Prince Hu Su again, it will be an enemy of the East China Sea. ”

I said all my demands in one go.

Master Yu looked at me with an appreciative expression, and there was appreciation in his eyes.

He bowed down to me and said to me, "Your Majesty may not live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”

The next morning, the envoys sent by He Yue all returned, and the news they brought back was that the dragon kings of the two seas in the southwest would not come to negotiate in person, but they would send envoys to come.

That's what I expected, and they're very vigilant right now, for fear I'm going to do something to them.

At noon on the third day, the tripartite talks were officially launched.

I sat in the tent and did not go out.

This meeting, they held a full day and a night, and finally finalized.

When Lord Yu came back to report the results of the battle, his expression became a little haggard, but his spirit was better, and he still had a smile on his face, and he said to me: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has fulfilled the trust and negotiated all your Majesty's instructions. ”

I hummed and asked him to elaborate.

Lord Yu said to me: "Back to Your Majesty, we first promise them to release all the surrendered soldiers, and secondly, sentence them to imprison the Dragon King of the North Sea for a hundred years." This is also what they agree to. ”

I said yes.

"In addition, our garrison army is in the whole territory of Beihai, and another descendant of the Dragon King of Beihai is selected to be the Dragon King of Beihai temporarily, but the military affairs are represented by us in the East China Sea."

I said yes. The first two are good, and the three or four are good, and I believe that Lord Yu will not do it too badly.

I was silent for a long time, and then said to He Yue, "Call all the generals here." ”

He Yue answered, summoned all the generals to come, and I arranged for Fan Keng to be stationed in Beihai. The Yuanchen Army continued to garrison the East China Sea border. And Su Wuchun returned to the original place. But all three were rewarded.

On Fan Keng's side, I sent him a lieutenant general, who was Li Ba's original subordinate.

And the surrendered troops in the South China Sea and the North Sea were also put back in turn.

At this point, this war, which lasted almost a month, finally came to an end.

I then said to the adults, "Ready, the class teacher will return to the court." ”

Lord Yu received the order.

On the day I left, all the soldiers came to see me off. When I get to the East China Sea, I have to arrange some things, and I will leave the East China Sea soon.

After a night's rest, the next morning, all the ministers had smiles on their faces, patted me on the back, and kept praising me. It is said that I am the first new king of the East China Sea for a thousand years. It can be described as both civil and military.

I listened to them all.

After the dispersal of the court, I asked Lord Yu He Yue and Li Chuntian to come over.

I told them that I was going to leave the East China Sea for a while, and that the affairs of the East China Sea would be left to the three of them.

Lord Yu kept me and said, "Your Majesty, now that the overall situation has just been decided, isn't it bad for you to leave?" ”

I said to you, "I'm relieved that you're here in the East China Sea." ”

Master Yu wanted to say something, but I interrupted him and said, "The matter is settled, you all go down." ”

I also made Li Chuntian a big official, and it was not in vain that he helped me for so long, he refused to take office at first, and finally agreed to it after my pleading.

After all this, I sat in the palace for a while.

Finally, I went to see the old dragon king.

The old dragon king also congratulated me and said to me: "Zhang Yan, after this incident, you are now invincible in the East China Sea. ”

I smiled and said, the old dragon king is serious.

I didn't delay, and soon expressed my intention to the old dragon king, and the old dragon king didn't say anything, he smiled and said, he understood, how can the golden scales be a thing in the pool.

After explaining everything, I changed my clothes, carried the big fish sword and the Shen Sheng sword, and left the East China Sea.

The time to leave the East China Sea and arrive on land was two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was gloomy, the snowflakes on the ground had melted, but it was still wet, and the weather didn't look very good, but for me who had not been on land for a long time, it was still a little different, I took a deep breath, didn't stay too long, and went directly to find Cao Tianshi.

Cao Tianshi and should be in the nearby county seat.

I arrived at the county seat and began to inquire about the whereabouts of Cao Tianshi.

However, after searching in the hotel, I couldn't find Cao Tianshi, so I had to go to the restaurant to inquire about Cao Tianshi's whereabouts, maybe I could get some news.

I haven't been on the land for almost a month, so Cao Tianshi won't have any other accidents.

Shortly after I sat down, I heard someone say, "You know what? I heard that the master was invited by the provincial officials. ”

"No, I haven't even asked the master to tell my fortune."

"Then you probably don't have a chance, you don't look for him for a month when the master is here, but after he leaves, you remember, aren't you uncomfortable with yourself?"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think that I think the master can see me if he wants to?" ”

"That's just as well."

When I heard them talking, I quickly approached and asked, "The master you are talking about is Master Cao Tianshi?" ”

"Yes! Why do you want to find him out too? ”

I said yes, when did he go to the provincial capital?

The man replied, "It's been two days since I left." ”

I hummed, complaining in my heart that this guy didn't notify me when he went to the provincial capital.

I then asked him, "Which official did he go to the provincial capital to tell his fortune?" ”

"I don't know about this, I heard that it seems to be Zhu Dashuai."

After I ate, I thanked him, I didn't stay long, and soon rushed to the provincial capital, from here to the provincial capital, it took two days to change various means of transportation, and after arriving at the provincial capital, I went straight to Zhu Dashuai's house.

Zhu Dashuai is a high-ranking official and noble in the city, so if you inquire at will, you will know where to live.

When I arrived at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, there was a soldier standing at the door, and before I could get close, I rebuked me and said, "What are you doing? Quickly stand aside. ”

I said with a smile on my face, "I'm here to find Master Cao, and I'm his senior brother." ”

"Senior brother, are you Master Cao's senior brother?" Two soldiers, obviously very surprised.

Surprised, he asked, "Are you Cao Tianshi's senior brother?" ”

I hummed yes, or did he let me come over, afraid that things wouldn't work out, so let me come and see.

After hearing me say this, the attitude of the two soldiers towards me immediately changed, and they became a little more respectful. Say let me wait. He went to brief.

Another soldier stepped forward and said to me, "Master, since you are Senior Brother Cao Tian, then your skills must be very good, can you help me calculate?" ”

He smiled and walked up the mountain, took out a little money and handed it to me, saying, "A little meaning, not a respect." ”
