Chapter 33: There Are No Losers
The technology of the world of atonement is not developed, and there are no black technologies such as aura communication, long-distance communication basically relies on roaring, oh no, it is transmitted by carrier pigeons or messengers, and the time given to Yuan Shi'an by the Qilan Empire is just enough for 800 miles to expedite the express horse to make a round trip.
When Yuan Shi'an returned to the embassy, he wrote a note-long chapter to Ning Guochong, which was full of nonsense about the difficulties of negotiations between himself and the Qilan Empire represented by Liu An, and also wrote about how he had achieved great advantages and outstanding progress in negotiations, and wrote a short paragraph at the end of the chapter: "The foolish minister is guilty, I never expected that the Qilan Empire would threaten our Imperial Forest Army at the most critical juncture of the negotiations, and the minister did not investigate, and he did not know why my Imperial Forest Army was ambushed by Qilan." The Qilan Empire is only willing to pay 8 million gold coins as war reparations, and the ministers are concerned about the lives of the soldiers, and these soldiers are the army sent by His Majesty to hunt down the fugitives. ”
Yuan Shi'an skillfully shifted the responsibility to the Imperial Forest Army, kicked the final decision to Ning Guochong, and after the messenger set off, he closed his eyes and recuperated in a graceful manner.
Three days later, in the palace of the Narui Empire, Ning Guochong lifted the table again after reading the chapter, but did not lift it again, lifted the four treasures of the study to the ground again, and said angrily, "Yuan Shi'an, an old fox, wrote a large chapter to praise himself for his merits, and finally wrote that the negotiation failed!
Also, how could the Imperial Forest Army pursue the fugitives to the Qilan Empire, don't you know that the army's random entry into other countries is tantamount to declaring war! Waste, waste, all waste! Look at what Yuan Shi'an wrote!" After that, let the eunuch circulate the chapter to the hundred officials.
After reading it, Ning Guoping said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang is angry, the younger brother thinks that Yuan Shi'an is suspected of being unfavorable in negotiations, and I believe that Yuan Shi'an I don't know that our army was ambushed, otherwise according to his wisdom, he will definitely not be caught off guard and the negotiation is weak."
But then again, as the royal city guard, my Imperial Forest Army knows all the military rules, so my brother feels that this matter is strange. "Ning Guoping, as the head of the hundred martial arts, is obviously not very harmonious with Yuan Shi'an, a civil official giant, but now that all the officials are there, it is not easy to say too much.
"Your subordinates, you naturally shelter! Why is there only one Flame Army in the whole Nari that can be reused? The Royal Forest Army can't catch up with the two dolls!"
"Brother Wang's anger, Brother Wang, don't forget, the other party has a top master. ”
Ning Guochong always deliberately downplayed Huang'er's personal cultivation, because of the most primitive fear from the bottom of his heart, but downplaying does not mean that it does not exist, and when he is mentioned again, he will still feel cold in his heart.
"Tell me, what should you do now? Ning Guochong sat on the dragon chair, rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
The civil official dressed in a forgiveness color official uniform on the left-hand side below said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Imperial Forest Army has entered the territory of the Qilan country without authorization, and it is now at a critical moment in the negotiations between the two countries, and their actions are very inappropriate, so the minister suggests that they should be abandoned in order to ensure the superior position of our country in the negotiations." ”
"Hmph, is it going to chill the hearts of the soldiers! They defend the frontier day and night and defend the royal city, do they have to abandon them at such a time?" A military attache in a mourning official uniform on the right hand blew his beard and glared.
"As a national soldier, you must always have the consciousness to dedicate your life to the motherland!" another civilian official said in a sinister manner.
"This matter itself is full of strangeness, and you put the soldiers in a desperate situation without asking the reason for right or wrong? What do you think if you are an ambushed warrior and face the abandonment of the country!"
From the very beginning of the point-to-point needle tip to the wheat mang, it gradually evolved into the collective mouth cannon of the two major groups of civil and military, and the huge court suddenly turned into a huge vegetable market, so lively.
"That's enough!" Ning Guochong roared, ending this pointless debate: "Are you holding the court's money just to quarrel here without a clue?"
The court was suddenly silent, "You all stand down, the widow wants to be alone and ...... quietly"
"The ministers retired. The hundred officials retreated in a huff.
In the early morning of the next day, he rode out of the dust and left Jingning City with the fate of all the soldiers.
Three days later, the embassy of the country of Chilan.
Liu An sat at the negotiation table: "Let me listen to what kind of instructions the king of your country has brought to you." ”
Yuan Shi'an almost gritted his teeth and said: "His Majesty the King of our country is merciful, and he does not want to see the country's soldiers shed blood, and the territorial issue depends on you, but the war reparation will cost 10 million gold coins, otherwise even if you sacrifice these captives, you will have to avenge them!"
"Oh, I can agree to your conditions on behalf of our Qilan Empire, so let's draw up an agreement and sign it as soon as possible!" Liu An was shocked and rejoiced at the same time, he didn't expect that these soldiers would have such weight in the Narui country, and the Narui country would ask for 25 million gold coins in war reparations, and his own side would negotiate with 15 million gold coins, joking, 25 million gold coins is equivalent to his country's financial revenue for two years, and 15 million is already a matter of tightening the belts of the whole country to live, but he didn't expect that just a few sergeants would exchange it for 5 million, and plus the territory of his own country that does not give up an inch of land, it is too profitable, thinking of this, Liu An not only smiled.
Yuan Shi'an was also secretly happy on the side, His Majesty the King had promised them eight million gold coins, and he actually asked for two million gold coins more in this fight, looking at the other party's refreshment, he seemed to be less? But this is not important, the important thing is that he wants more, which is equivalent to a quarter's financial income of the Narui Empire, which is enough to invite credit, thinking of this, Yuan Shi'an can't help but show a knowing smile.
The two old foxes smiled face to face, it seemed that the Nari Empire had suffered a loss, and the Qilan Empire represented by Liu An was the winner, but did Yuan Shi'an really lose? And Ning Guochong, who was thousands of miles away, seemed to should lose the car to protect the handsome, but for him, what was a car and what was handsome? Did Ning Guochong really lose? No, in this negotiation, there were no losers, the Qilan Empire got the smallest loss, Liu An and Yuan Shi'an got enough performance, and Ning Guochong also kept his "handsome", so there were no losers.
The next day, after the treaty was signed, Yuan Shi'an set off for China with a full silver ticket, but he didn't give the captives a good look, didn't leave any of them, and left them behind, and the captives had no choice but to find a way to return to China.
And Liu An, in the face of such a big credit, did he really ask for credit for Tian Ying? He also has a nephew named Liu Yu in the military, how could he, who had long wanted to reach out to the military, miss such a good opportunity?
Tian Ying, Tian Ying, it's not that the old man is not kind, it's really that you are too favorable, and the old man can't afford to repay it, so I will wronged you first and use it as a stepping stone for my nephew to be promoted, hehe......
