Tang Niu saw that the civil and military ministers were reluctant to come out, and he was irritable.

As a courtier, isn't it natural to share the king's worries?

Now I need you to take care of my worries, and I can't even shrink my head one by one.

Angrily, he turned to Mei Xu: "Prime Minister thinks, who is the best candidate?"

Mei Xu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied respectfully: "Now that the two sides are at war, if you want to convince Ning Ze, you need to have someone with excellent eloquence, or someone who has an old relationship with him! In the humble opinion of the minister, General Zhou is the right person, so he can ask him to send a letter to the enemy camp, and then rush to Puzhou." The general has a good relationship with Ning Ze, only he can convince the other party!"

"What?" Tang Niu frowned when he heard this, "You let my imperial brother go to danger in person?"

Mei Xu hurriedly said: "The others are going to be in danger, and the general will definitely be fine in the past! Ning Ze is close to the general, and he also personally gave him the art of war, so he will not be embarrassed by him!"

"This ......" Tang Niu was silent when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is important!" Mei Xu bent down.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is important!!" the civil and military ministers echoed in unison.

Tang Niu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's okay! Ning Ze is really close to him, and he must not harm him." Send a message immediately, please come quickly!"

"Wow!!"

Zhou Yuan sat in the rear and was shocked after getting the flying pigeon.

I didn't expect the situation on the front line to be so severe, so I hurriedly sent a letter to the front line, first asked the front-line soldiers to hand over to Ning Ze, quickly arranged the affairs of Bian Zhou, and hurried to Puzhou.

The letter arrived in Daliang through the flying pigeon, and Tang Niu sent soldiers to the Huaguo camp with horses and whips.

When approaching the camp, the soldiers were arrested and shouted, "I am the envoy of the Zhou State, and a letter from the general has been forwarded to the king of your country!"

The subordinates hurriedly reported, and Ouyang Chun said: "It must be Tang Niu who found out that the situation was not good and wanted to ask for peace." ”

"Our army has the advantage, don't you need to pay attention to it, right?" As Ning Ze's stand-in, Wang Tong also had the right to participate in the discussion, and when he heard this, he spoke.

The civil and military generals here have the same attitude, and their own side has an advantage, so there is no need to negotiate peace with them, and they can fight it in one go.

Ouyang Chun shook his head and said: "Tang Niu has lost several battles in a row, his morale is low, and the military food is insufficient, so he is suing for peace. However, this does not mean that our army will be able to drive straight in! Once it refuses to sue for peace, it will push the enemy into a desperate situation. The rabbit is anxious and bites, not to mention that Tang Niu once had the title of the world's number one general, and no one is invincible except for the prince! If the prince is really here, it is easy to say, but it is just ......"

The generals followed his gaze to Wang Tong, who swallowed his saliva, of course he didn't have the ability to win against Tang Niu.

Ouyang Chun continued: "Of course, the biggest problem is the lack of talent. I believe everyone knows that it is very difficult for us in Huaguo to recruit talents, and many official positions from the imperial court to the local government are vacant, and no suitable candidates can be found. To lay down the city, it is necessary to arrange manpower to manage it. If Tang Niu is easy to deal with, then it doesn't matter! But if it really angers the other party, the so-called mourning soldiers will win.

Putting him in a desperate situation will inevitably lead to a powerful counterattack. We are already short of talents, and we are already nervous, if we consume too much here, no matter how many cities we build, no one will manage them, and in the end it will be empty!"

"So, why are we still coming to Puzhou?" asked Wang Tong.

"Of course, it is to suppress Tang Niu in momentum, and at the same time let Lu Cong and Ma Jian know that we are not easy to mess with. Ouyang Chun said, "The prince's thoughts, Tang Niu's side is actually the best to deal with. Relatively speaking, Lu Cong and Ma Jian are the real enemies. Therefore, our task is to force Tang Niu's army to retreat to Bian Zhou, so that the prince can deal with Lu Cong and Ma Jian with peace of mind. Wait until you take the two forces in the south, and it will be easy here!"

"So we accept the suture?" Wang Tong asked.

"That's not what they say will be peaceful!" Ouyang Chun said, "Tang Niu thinks well, the prince is indeed closer to Zhou Yuan. If he was here, Zhou Yuan would come over in person, and it would not be easy to refuse. Now there is another problem, you are not the real prince, if Zhou Yuan sees out, then it will be a big trouble! The reason why Tang Niu chose to sue for peace is that he is afraid of the prince on the one hand, if he knows that you are fake, there will be a change!"

"What then?" asked Wang Tong hurriedly.

"It's okay! When the time comes, I will meet Zhou Yuan. Ouyang Chun said, "This can be regarded as an indication of attitude, making the other party feel that we don't have much intention of talking about peace." Only in this way can the other side be more eager and make the negotiation conditions biased in our favor!"

Although Wang Tong is Ning Ze's stand-in, Ouyang Chun is the leader in the end, not to mention that his wisdom is affirmed by everyone.

The army stood still for the time being, waiting for Zhou Yuan's arrival.

Knowing that the Chinese army had stopped advancing, Tang Niu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Zhou Yuan can still speak in front of Ning Ze, and a letter will make the other party stop temporarily.

Although I don't know why Ning Ze is so close to Zhou Yuan, it's just because he had a relationship when he attacked Liang Yi's ant thief?

Both sides are waiting.

Zhou Yuan set off immediately after receiving the news, and hurried over.

After arriving in Daliang County, first meet Tang Niu.

Tang Niu personally greeted him, brought him into the city, and explained the specific situation in detail.

After figuring out the current situation, Zhou Yuan said: "Your Majesty rest assured! The subordinate brother will definitely do his best to persuade Ning Ze to withdraw from the army!"

"Brother Huang, pay attention to safety!" Tang Niu instructed.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern! Brother Chen has gone!" Zhou Yuan took a few cronies and went directly out of the city to the Huaguo camp.

When he arrived outside the camp, he shouted to the Chinese soldiers: "Zhou Yuan, the general of the Zhou State, ask to see the King of Danyang as a messenger!"

The soldier hurried back.

After a while, Ouyang Chun led the crowd to greet him and came to Zhou Yuan with a smile on his face: "Ouyang Chun, the young mansion of Huaguo, welcome General Zhou with all your colleagues! General, please follow me into the camp, a banquet has been set up!"

Zhou Yuan turned his head to look around in confusion, but he didn't see Ning Ze, so he asked, "Where is the King of Danyang?" I haven't seen him for a long time, and General Ben wants to talk to him face to face. ”

Ouyang Chun hurriedly replied: "It's really unfortunate! The prince occasionally felt a cold and was not suitable for traveling, so he ordered his subordinates to entertain the general well!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "The prince is sick, this general should visit! ”

"No!" Ouyang Chun shook his head and said, "The doctor said that the prince is extremely ill and can't blow the slightest wind." Don't disturb the prince's recuperation, please go to the tent with the lower officials. The prince has handed over all the affairs of the generals to the lower officials, and the affairs of entertaining the generals are also the responsibility of the lower officials!"

Seeing him shirk, Zhou Yuan thought about it for a while, and said in his heart that he was afraid that Ning Ze was not really sick, but he didn't want to talk about peace, so he avoided himself. After all, the relationship between the two is not bad, and if the quarrel hurts the harmony because of this matter, neither party wants to do so.

It seems that this mission is more troublesome, after all, Huaguo has an absolute advantage, and it is very difficult for the two sides to shake hands and make peace if they want them to stop.

No matter what, when you come here, you have to work hard to complete the task. Even if Ning Ze was unwilling to meet with him, he had to persuade Ouyang Chun to withdraw from the army and dismiss the war.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "In this case, don't disturb the prince!"

"Thank you for your understanding. Ouyang Chun gave a salute and turned around to make a gesture of invitation, "Let's talk in detail in the tent!"

"Please!" Zhou Yuan also made a gesture of invitation, and walked into the Huaguo camp with Ouyang Chun.

When he came to the main tent, he set up a feast.

Ouyang Chun was in the main seat, and asked Zhou Yuan to take a seat, and the civil and military generals on both sides sat down one after another, and directly opened their faces.

At the banquet, Zhou Yuan got up and raised his glass: "This general came in a hurry, and without gifts, he toasted everyone with the wine in the cup!"

"The general is polite!" Ouyang Chun raised his glass and said, "The prince himself received him personally, but he was sick, and he could only be accompanied by us, he was really lazy, please atone for his sins!"

"It's okay, it's done!" Zhou Yuan raised his glass and turned around, signaled and then raised his head and drank it all.

Ouyang Chun toasted the wine in the glass like a civil and military official, and someone immediately came over to fill it for everyone.

After a toast, Zhou Yuan got to the point: "Thank you for the hospitality, I am very grateful! It's just that General Ben has important things to do, and since Ouyang Shaofu is fully responsible, can you give General Ben some time?"

"The general doesn't need to be polite, just say something if you have something to say," Ouyang Chun said.

"Why did your country's army press the border, first attack the Di tribe, and then attack Puzhou?" Zhou Yuan asked.

Ouyang Wen shook his head when he heard this: "The general's words are wrong! Your army has plundered the border and harassed our subjects. Your Majesty has just issued an order and ordered the prince to personally lead troops to defend the territory! If it weren't for your side to provoke trouble, how could there be today's battle?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and thought for a while: "When my country sends troops, it is also to follow your example, so there is a matter of looting!"

"If it weren't for your troops to attack Huajun, how could we fight back?"

"Ouyang Shaofu, if you continue to argue like this, I'm afraid you will have to dig into the Dacheng years!" Zhou Yuan said, "General Ben came here this time just for the current situation, not to get involved in the past." ”

"Okay, then the official will talk to the general about the current situation!" Ouyang Chun nodded and said, "No matter where the dispute originates, the prince has the will of His Majesty to attack Puzhou to avenge the plunder! Now that the troops are coming to the city, the general wants to talk about a peace truce, how can there be such a reason? Our side has the advantage, and we must fulfill Your Majesty's instructions, how can we retreat?"

Zhou Yuan said: "The two countries are at war, and the people are suffering!

"The general is benevolent and righteous!" Ouyang Chu said, "It's just that if there is a dispute today, not only the people of Puzhou are innocent." If you want the people of the world to stop suffering, you must first unify the sixteen states. If you have mercy on the people, you can bow down to our emperor. Your Majesty will definitely reuse you, regardless of past suspicions. The general is close to the King of Danyang, and he can also break away from the enemy and work together for the people of the world!"

Zhou Yuan shook his head when he heard this: "My father's ambition has not been achieved, and my brothers have inherited their father's order to live for the world." I would like to ask you to have mercy on the people of the world, and ask Empress Yuanxi to abdicate and join our country. Wouldn't it be nice to rule the world together?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Ouyang Chun said, "Now that our country is in full swing, Your Majesty, as the only royal bloodline, how can it be compared to Tang Niu, Lu Cong, and Ma Jian?
