Chapter 50: General Murong spares his life
As soon as Murong Chu left, all the generals quickly followed suit. Only the King of Jin and the cadres he brought with him were left in the room, as well as the prison army Cui Jianghai.
Cui Jianghai snorted coldly and said with extreme dissatisfaction: "It's really a show that meets a soldier, and it can't be explained if it's reasonable." It's really nerve-wracking to deal with these rough people. ”
"Master Cui," Xiao Wenxian sighed, "why bother with them. Anyway, you are also a two-list jinshi who has read the sage book, and it is really a loss of identity to quarrel with a martial artist. ”
"Lord Xiao doesn't know," Cui Jianghai said indignantly, "Since I became this prisoner, I have been angry. These people have their own military power, and they don't take me seriously at all. ”
"Alright, don't talk so much nonsense." Zhong Hanchi snorted, waved his hand and said to the others, "You all go back to rest first." ”
After everyone retreated, Zhong Hanchi looked at Cui Jianghai and said, "The reason why this king will sponsor you as a prisoner in front of my father is to let you take the opportunity to find out Murong Chu's thoughts. It's good that you don't achieve anything, but you have such a stiff relationship with those generals, do you want to push them all over there? ”
Cui Jianghai's body stiffened, and he quickly got up and knelt down: "Lord Wang, it's not that Weichen is unfavorable, it's really those people who are too arrogant and ......."
"Shut up!" Zhong Hanchi shouted angrily, "Now that Murong Chu has military power, his father trusts him, but his father Murong Jingzhong, the old fox, is slow to take a stand. Even if the two of them can't stand on the side of the king, they can't let them return to the crown prince. Do you still need to tell you what is at stake here? ”
"The prince is angry, and Weichen knows that he is wrong." Cui Jianghai kowtowed again and again to admit his mistake.
Xiao Wenxian also pleaded: "Lord Wang, it is not unreasonable that the Murong family has been able to stand tall from the beginning of the dynasty to the present. Thinking that Murong Jingzhong was tactful, when the situation was unclear, he categorically would not show his attitude. Naturally, Murong Chu would not be co-opted so easily, and this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Master Cui ran all the way with the army, and was born and died on the battlefield, and it was not easy for him as a literati to suffer from this. The prince should not blame him anymore. ”
"Humph!" Zhong Hanchi flicked the sleeves of his robe, "This king didn't know that this matter was urgent, but now that my father is old, his body is not as good as day by day." If I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll ......."
"Lord Wang," Cui Jianghai knelt and climbed two steps, "Although Murong and his son are not used by me, at least they are not on the side of the prince." Wechen believes that as long as they can remain neutral, they will not pose any threat to us, and we can ignore them. ”
"Master Cui has a point." Xiao Wenxian lowered his voice, "Lord Wang, the top priority is to deal with the matter of peace negotiation first. After this matter is satisfactorily resolved, the emperor will naturally appreciate the prince even more. As for Murong and his son, if they really get in the way of our business, we will get rid of them when the time comes. ”
"That being said, it's not easy to get rid of their father and son." Zhong Hanchi frowned and sighed.
Xiao Wenxian smiled sinisterly: "Don't forget, Lord Wang, Murong Chuke also has an elder brother." Murong Jingzhong, the prince of Beining, is not necessarily Murong Chu's, you must know that the biological mother of his elder brother Murong Qi is now being raised as a concubine. If the prince is willing to help him ascend to the throne of the prince or even the king of Bac Ninh, Wei Chen thinks that the current princess of Bac Ninh is willing to pay any price. ”
"Well," Zhong Hanchi let out a sigh, "This king naturally knows it. However, Murong Qi is a weak person, and compared to Murong Chu, he is a waste at all, so this king still hopes not to come to this point. ”
"Multiple wastes are also much better than multiple strong enemies." Xiao Wenxian narrowed his eyes and said.
"Alright, we'll talk about that later." Zhong Hanchi waved his hand, "You guys should retreat first." ”
The next three days of negotiations turned into a tug-of-war, and the Great Zhou Dynasty demanded that Helian Tug pay 1 million taels of silver for the losses caused by the war. The Hu people retreated 500 miles, and in the future, the Hu people were not allowed to enter within 500 miles of the Great Zhou border.
Helian Tuge only promised to retreat a hundred miles, and it was only the retreat of the Hu army, and the people had to enter and leave the Great Zhou freely. As for compensation, the number of dead and wounded Hu Ren this time is more than that of Da Zhou, and it is impossible for him to come up with one million taels, at most, as the defeated party, he will give Da Zhou ten thousand taels of silver.
The two sides only fought on these two issues, until the third day, Hu Xie once again couldn't hold his breath, pointed to the nose of Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, and said: "You have been sitting there for two or three days, and you don't let out a fart, so you let your subordinates entangle with us here, what do you mean?" ”
"Bold!" Cui Jianghai shouted, he finally had a chance to pat himself on the back, he would never let it go, even if he slapped the table and shouted angrily, "You barbarian actually dare to speak disrespectfully to the prince of my Great Zhou Dynasty, I think you don't want to live anymore!" ”
"What a bullshit prince!" Hu Evil pursed his lips disdainfully, "There is a kind of let's go out and fight ......"
Before the words fell, he saw a black shadow move quickly in front of him like a ghost, Murong Chu held a beautiful sword flower with a sword in his hand, and he felt a flower in front of him, and the pheasant feathers on his head fell flutteringly. Only then did he react, he immediately jumped up and took a step to the side, and before he could raise his hand to touch the top of his head, Murong Chu's sword had already reached his neck: "If you don't agree to all the conditions today, no one will want to leave here." ”
Although the words were aimed at calling heresies, and the voice was not high, the cold and piercing murderous aura around Murong Chu made everyone present shudder.
Helian Tuge's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, he really didn't see how Murong Chu, who was sitting opposite, moved to Hu Xie. It can be seen that he still has a face, otherwise it will not only be the pheasant feather on the head of the evil spirit.
"General Murong is angry," Helian said with a charming smile, "Hu Youshan is a rough man, and he has a bad temper. The general put down his sword first, and let's sit down and discuss it slowly. ”
Murong Chu didn't even give her a corner of the eye, but looked directly at Helian Tuge and said coldly: "On the battlefield that day, if it weren't for Helian Shan Yu expressing his willingness to surrender and negotiate peace, would you still have the life to bargain with me here Da Zhou?" I have long heard that the Hu people are unreasonable, but today I see that this is really the case. From the point of view of General Ben, there is no need to negotiate peace at all, and General Ben will kill a group of Hu barbarians now, and will lead his troops to level Hu land tomorrow. ”
"General Murong spares his life!" Hu Xie has long lost his previous arrogance, and his legs trembled like chaff, "It's Ben Danyu, no, it's me who is vulgar, and I speak wildly, the general is broad-minded, don't worry about me." ”
