Chapter 228 Peace Talks

At the moment of entering the king's tent, although he didn't dare to look at Tianyuan Khan's face, Meng Chi already knew that the other party was very angry and very disappointed in him by feeling the atmosphere of the king's tent.

It was he who personally put the Tian Yuan Army, and even the entire Tian Yuan tribe, in an embarrassing position today.

For this, he must bear the consequences.

Leaving from the royal court, relying on the cultivation in the middle of the Wang Ji Realm, Meng Chi quickly returned to the Dadan military camp.

He summoned the two people on the left and right and arranged the next big army action.

Monchi's first words were: "This war is over. ”

Charahan and King Zuo Xian glanced at each other, both of them were very shaken, in comparison, the former looked gloomy, and the latter still did not give up:

"Prince, we have the chance to win this battle, even if it is the Yanmen army, it will not be able to stop our elite cavalry! If the prince orders the battle, within half a month, we will definitely be able to achieve a great victory!"

Meng Chi smiled bitterly, "Even if you win, what can you do?"

"If you win, you can annex the Dadan Tribe, realize the unification of the grassland, and achieve the goal of this battle!" This was an obvious thing, but King Zuo Xian did not say it, because he immediately thought about what would happen further down.

The Yanmen army was defeated, the strength of the Tianyuan army was completely exposed, the Great Qi government and the opposition were shaken, the emperor raised troops to the north, and the national war between the two sides started ahead of schedule.

The Tian Yuan Army, which had just experienced a big battle and suffered quite a lot of losses, had no time to recuperate, and was about to plunge into a more vast and tragic battle.

But the Tianyuan royal court was not ready for a national war.

If before the start of this battle, the Tianyuan Royal Court relied on its own elite soldiers, and there was still the possibility of not being afraid of the national war with the Great Qi of Chengping for a hundred years.

However, in the first battle of Fengmingshan, he fought with the Yanmen army, a new pawn on the battlefield, but the result was defeat.

In this battle, the comprehensive quality and the combat power of the cultivators embodied by the Yanmen Army made the Tianyuan Imperial Court remember the strength of the prosperous dynasty of the Central Plains again.

Although they have not fought in a major war for a hundred years, they are well-trained and well-armed, and the backbone generals and colonels in the army are even more fearless of death, and they are strictly disciplined and have excellent tactics.

Once on the battlefield, after a few battles, it will quickly transform into an old pawn and show good combat power!

At this moment, who dares to underestimate the elite of Daqi?

The 160,000 Yanmen army is not afraid, but what about the hundreds of thousands of elites of Daqi?

The premise of the Tianyuan Royal Court is to fight with the Great Qi Kingdom in the first battle, invade the Great Qi Pass, quickly attack a large territory, master a large amount of military resources, and support the war with war.

If the initial war fails to achieve this goal, once the war stalemates, the grasslands with poor resources and limited populations will not be able to fight a protracted war.

In a word, Great Qi can be defeated, it can be defeated, and there is still a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback, but the Tianyuan Royal Court cannot afford to be defeated.

At that time, if the battle situation is not smooth, the situation faced by the Tianyuan Royal Court will not be that it has failed to annex the Dadan Tribe, but that it will perish itself!

"For four years, the Great Khan will not be able to achieve the realm of heaven and man, and until then, we will not be able to ignore the risks of the battlefield. ”

Meng Chi's voice was low: "In this war, the Tianyuan army can't fight the Yanmen army on the bright side, this is the rule. So from the moment the Yanmen Army broke through Fengming Mountain, the war was over. ”

Charahan bowed his head in shame, "The sin of the last general is unforgivable!"

Meng Chi didn't blame Charahan out loud, although he also wanted to cut the other party with a knife:

"The guilt of the Right Virtuous King will be judged by the Great Khan himself, and after returning to the royal court, the Right Virtuous King himself can go to the Great Khan to confess his guilt, and I will not say more. ”

King Zuo Xian slammed the knot: "Dominating the grassland and casting the foundation of the great cause is ten out of ten stable, if it wasn't for the timely participation of the Yanmen Army in the war, how could the situation be like this?"

"If the princess hadn't missed in the Southern Dynasty, how could the emperor of the Southern Dynasty let the Yanmen Army out of the customs?

"It's all Zhao family's fault! It's all Zhao Ning's kid! Last year's Daizhou attack, if Zhao Ning could be successfully destroyed and Zhao Beiwang and his wife were severely injured, how could there be so many bad things now?

"Prince, this kid Zhao Ning is a disaster, his life is the biggest insult and threat to us, we should kill him at any cost!"

These words are reasonable, and Meng Chi can't refute them. He also knew that if Xiao Yan hadn't been exposed, if Xiao Yan hadn't missed in Daizhou last year....... But there are no ifs.

"You can't kill it, at least not for the time being. Meng Chi closed his eyes in pain, "Let's let him live first." ”

King Zuo Xian thought about it, although he felt uncomfortable, he could only let go of this question first, and asked: "Since the war has ended, the aftermath has to be carried out immediately, what arrangements does the prince have?"

Meng Chi said two words: "Peace talks." ”

......

Zhao Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, had just appeared outside the camp and attracted the attention of many Dadan princes and nobles.

Just when they were using their imagination or slanderous power to speculate about what Zhao Ning planned to do, they found that Zhao Ning left the Yanmen military camp and went straight to the Tianyuan army camp with a few followers.

This made everyone scratch their heads, and they didn't know how Zhao Ning could behave like this.

Just when everyone had their own guesses, the gate of the Tianyuan military camp was opened, and Zhao Ning and his party were politely welcomed in!

At this moment, all the nobles of the Dadan Department who planned to watch the play were dumbfounded and did not know why.

When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ning met Meng Chi.

This is the first time the two have met. The latter was very respectful and full of awe for the envoys of the Celestial Empire, just like the Hu people who entered the Great Qi from Yanmen Pass over the years when they faced the Yanmen army.

The reason why Zhao Ning came over was because he was invited by Meng Chi. When he entered the tent, the banquet had been prepared, but King Zuo Xian was not there, only Meng Chi and a few high-ranking generals were accompanied.

Zhao Ning's identity is extraordinary, Meng Chi first probed the wind here with Zhao Ning, and he can generally know Zhao Xuanji's attitude. If you face Zhao Xuanji directly, if you don't talk well, there will be no room for maneuver.

In addition, Meng Chi also wanted to see what was different about this son of the Zhao family, who made Xiao Yan return home and defeated King Youxian.

During the banquet, Meng Chi kept toasting Zhao Ning, blaming himself and saying ashamedly:

"This time, the Tianyuan Department was invited by the Khitan Department to recover the caravan losses from the Dadan Department, which was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect to alarm the Heavenly Dynasty King, which really made me feel ashamed.

"So that General Zhao learned that before the Yanmen Army appeared in the Dadan Division, the Tianyuan Department did not know that the Great Qi Wang Division had been dispatched. We have been deceived by the Khitan Ministry!

"Even if you lend the Tian Yuan Department a hundred guts, the Tian Yuan Department will never dare to disobey the Great Qi, and the Tian Yuan Army will never dare to go against the Yanmen Army. We're going to retreat, what does General Zhao think?"

Zhao Ning smiled casually and did not give an answer immediately. He looked at those Tianyuan generals, these people were also ashamed and worried, as if they had done something wrong and were going to face the children who were punished by adults.

It is this kind of expression, this kind of style, and this kind of attitude that confuses Daqi, so that the powerful people of Daqi have always looked down on the Tianyuan Ministry, regarded them as local chickens and dogs, and did not take them seriously.

But now is different from the past, after Xiao Yan's incident, the Great Qi government and the opposition were already annoyed with the Tianyuan Department, and here in Zhao Ning, Meng Chi and the others' cozy attitude would only make him feel ridiculous.

"The prince just wants to leave? The battle of Fengming Mountain has nothing to do with the Tianyuan Army? The prince can't help but leave himself too clear. ”

Zhao Ning took a sip of wine to himself, careless and full of sarcasm, "There are five or six Wang Ji Realm in Fengming Mountain, are they all from the Khitan Tribe?"

Meng Chi opened his mouth, looking speechless, and finally said with a gloomy face:

"This battle Tianyuan Department does have some mistakes, and it is difficult to escape the blame. I plan to go to Yanping in person and ask His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi for guilt. At that time, no matter how His Majesty the Emperor disposes of it, the Tianyuan Ministry will be willing to accept the punishment.

"General Zhao, would you like to transfer the recital on my behalf?"

Zhao Ning glanced at him.

Meng Chi's move was indeed clever.

The Tian Yuan Department has a personal enmity with the Zhao family, and here in the Zhao family, Meng Chi and the Tian Yuan Department can't bargain for half a cent. Only by meeting the emperor face to face and taking the initiative to apologize for their sins can they win the opportunity to exaggerate the punishment on the first line.

And this, Zhao Ning and Zhao couldn't stop it.

Of course, this is a great danger for Meng Chi himself. If he goes to Yanping, he may never return to the grassland. If the situation is good, you will become a proton, and if the situation is bad, your life will not be guaranteed.

In this sense, Tianyuan Khan is equivalent to giving up Mengchi. It can't be said that he was left to fend for himself, but he also put his life in the hands of the Great Qi Emperor.

Crisp, decisive.

"The prince wants to go to Yanping City to apologize, and the Yanmen Army will naturally not stop him, but whether Your Majesty gives you this opportunity or not, it completely depends on Your Majesty's intentions. ”

Meng Chi's plan to plead guilty, the Yanmen army must report truthfully, and if the emperor agrees, Meng Chi can rush to Yanping.

As for how the emperor will deal with Meng Chi and the Tianyuan Department in the future, whether to send troops to completely destroy the Tianyuan Department depends on the emperor's intentions.

The task of the Yanmen army to fight out of the customs is to teach the Tianyuan Department a lesson and avoid the Dadan Department being swallowed up. If today, the Yuan army is willing to withdraw its troops, and Meng Chi is willing to go south, and the combat mission can be regarded as basically completed.

Zhao Ning was very satisfied with this result.

At present, the Yanmen Army is not as strong as the Tianyuan Army, which is an ironclad fact.

Fengming Mountain can win the battle, and there are many factors that cannot be reproduced. If Zhao Ning refuses Meng Chi's request now, and the two armies continue to fight, the Yanmen Army, the foundation of the Zhao clan, will be gone first.

Zhao Ning's most important plan for this trip north was to buy him and the Zhao family a few years, so that the national war would break out in two years.

Right now, with the delay in the time for Tian Yuan Khan to break through the Heaven and Man Realm, the Tian Yuan Department annexed the Dadan Tribe, and the steps to unify the grassland were postponed, and Zhao Ning's expectations were all achieved.

What's more, he still has Dadan Khan's eight million gold to be credited to.

The problem of the Tianyuan Department was solved, and next, there was the Khitan Department that was at war with the Yanmen Army.

The problem of the Khitan Department is actually a false proposition, they were originally planned by the Tianyuan Royal Court to be thrown to Daqi after the war to calm the anger.
