"This move by the imperial court really makes me feel cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "In the camp of the Hedong thief army, Luo Shiji, who has always been moody, couldn't help but be angry, at this time they were not far from the capital, so they also quickly received the news that those grain trucks that went out from the north gate of the capital could not hide people.

"Dog officer! Dog officer! Thinking of how difficult it was for him and Luo Shiji to go to Beijing to ask for food, and how generous they were to the northern captives now, Qin Shixin was furious.

"Treacherous and misleading the country! The old man will go to Beijing to complain directly to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and demand that such people who mislead the country be severely punished! Zhang Guo's beard was all open, and he endured all the grievances he had suffered before, but at this time he couldn't bear it anymore.

Contrary to the angry Li You, Zhang Guo and others, Arubu's royal tent was full of joy at this time, Chen Jing'an not only sent 10,000 stone of grain, but also hundreds of pigs and sheep, hundreds of baskets of vegetables, thousands of jars of wine, and even the seasonings obtained from cooking They prepared them properly, for fear that these northern uncles would not eat well.

That's not all, Chen Jing'an arched her hand after reporting the list of gifts, "The Queen Mother is afraid that you will come from afar and can't care about bringing cooks, so she sent ten imperial chefs in the palace to cook food for the Great Khan and the National Teacher. After saying that, he turned to Yuan Zhang with a shy face, "Master Guoshi, among these imperial chefs, there are two of them who are most proficient in the south of the Yangtze River, sea bass and lettuce soup, the National Teacher has been in the north for a long time, it must be difficult to eat this kind of hometown delicacy, right?" ”

Yuan Zhang once again underestimated the lower limit of these officials, he just asked for food and ten thousand stones, but he didn't expect the other party to send so many things, he couldn't help but think that if these officials could use one-tenth of their thoughts on gift-giving to governing the country, I am afraid that the Great Wei would have driven the Mobei tribes thousands of miles away, how could they end up now?

Arub also can't understand these people, I led an army of 200,000 to fight you, why do you still send food to yourself? Are you afraid that my warriors will not have enough to eat and will not have the strength to wield their swords? And the shamelessness of this person in front of him really disgusted him, Arub shook his head and said, "The matter of peace will be handed over to the national teacher to take full responsibility." With that, Arubu left straight away, leaving this place to Yuan Zhang, who seemed to feel uncomfortable every minute he spent with Chen Jing'an.

Arubu had already left, and there were only two Yuan Zhang and Chen Jing'an left in the tent, Chen Jing'an hurriedly seized the opportunity to step forward and whispered, "I also hope that the National Teacher will promote the peace, and there will be a good reward for the Great Wei afterwards." With that, he pulled out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them over, the smallest of which was measured in 10,000 yuan.

Maybe it was the role of the silver ticket, Yuan Zhang didn't embarrass them this time, and Chen Jing'an was so deferential and meticulous, it really made him a little unbearable, so he directly reported the conditions for peace, "If you want to negotiate peace, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as Dawei takes out the amount we want, the army will retreat." ”

"Dare to give me a number!" Chen Jing'an seemed to sense the change in Yuan Zhang's tone, and hurriedly asked.

"Ten million ingots of gold, twenty million ingots of silver, and ten million horses of silk." Yuan Zhang slowly reported this huge number, in his opinion, it was almost impossible to get so much money, and he was ready to bargain with Chen Jing'an.

"10,000,000 ingots of gold, 20,000,000 ingots of silver, 10,000,000 horses of silk?" Chen Jing'an repeated this number, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, when he came, the imperial court had already instructed to agree to their conditions as much as possible, but he was still frightened by Yuan Zhang's lion mouth, the annual income of Great Wei was only forty or fifty million taels, and Yuan Zhang asked for so much at once!

He now seems to understand Yuan Zhang's intention of besieging the city and not attacking it, even if he captures the capital, I'm afraid they won't be able to loot so much wealth!

"That's right, if you send this, we will retreat." Yuan Zhang now more and more does not want to attack the city too early, these officials will help him slowly weaken the resistance of the capital, why should he waste the lives of the Mobei warriors?

"This... This number seems to be a little too large, and the daring national teacher has reduced it slightly. Chen Jing'an plucked up the courage and said with difficulty.

"You can call the shots?" Yuan Zhang waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go back and discuss with your queen mother and emperor, and then come to discuss when the results are out." ”

Chen Jing'an's 10,000 stone grain, hundreds of pigs and sheep, hundreds of baskets of vegetables, thousands of jars of wine, countless spices and ten imperial chefs were driven away by Yuan Zhang again in exchange for less than a cup of tea. ”

"When the lower officials go back, they will definitely report to the court and order the armies not to move lightly." Chen Jing'an was frightened by this sentence, and hurriedly said goodbye and hurried back to the city, for fear that those martial artists who didn't know the overall situation would make trouble rashly.

"10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 10 million horses of silk!" The Queen Mother and the civil and military officials were also stunned by this huge number, and it was probably impossible to make up so much money with the wealth of the Great Wei and the prosperity of the capital.

"Doesn't this Beiyu want peace talks?" The Queen Mother thought about it for a long time and only found such a reason.

"Queen Mother, now that my Great Wei is in peace talks with the Mobei tribes, I must no longer call him 'Beiyu', if it spreads out, it will cause their unhappiness and cause trouble." A scholar with a white beard stood up tremblingly and said.

"That's what the boss said."

"If it weren't for the boss, we would have been negligent." A voice of praise sounded above the court, and after a fierce dispute, the opinions of the ministers were finally unified after half an hour, so "Beiguo" became the new name of the Mobei tribes.

After these twists and turns, the topic was once again turned to the matter of peace, and after detailed calculations, the ministers finally came up with a figure that David could accept, one million ingots of gold, two million ingots of silver, and one million horses of cloth, and ordered Chen Jing'an to discuss with Yuan Zhang again tomorrow.

Chen Jing'an did not go home directly after going down to the court, but quietly found Lu Chengqing's mansion, "Lord Lu, then Yuan Zhang's lion opening his mouth today is probably meaningful!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean? Lu Chengqing asked.

"My lord, then Yuan Zhang is probably still remembering Yang Xiangguo's denigration of him in the palace examination that day. If this problem is not solved, the lower officials think that he will definitely refuse to persuade the Great Khan of the Northern Kingdom to withdraw his army. Chen Jing'an said firmly.

"Yang Jiefu ......" Lu Chengqing fell into deep thought, this may also be a good opportunity for him. (To be continued.) )
