After seeing Peter, Will said straight to the point that he could delay the arrival of reinforcements, it was not yet known, even if he was lucky enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements, it would be impossible to defeat the powerful Wind Army, but when the Wind Man realized that he had been deceived, who would suffer in the end, it must be Goro City, it must be the Pros family who is a royal family!

How could Peter not understand what Will said? How could he not have considered the consequences of pretending to make peace? But he could not do anything now. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Knowing that reinforcements were on the way to the capital, if he insisted on going his own way and insisting on signing this unequal peace treaty with the Fengren, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the ministers and the people of the whole country, and even lead to all the city-states uniting to impeach him.

He couldn't and didn't dare to take the risk.

So, no matter what Will said, Peter was in a word, and in this matter he had to listen to Safron, and there was no room for negotiation.

In addition, Peter also had a faint hope in his heart, the Zhenjun army fought all the way from the Wind Country to Goro, thousands of miles away, heavy casualties, the whole army was exhausted, what if the reinforcements of the city-states really defeated the Wind army? This is not completely impossible.

Will was about to wear out his tongue and failed to convince Peter to change his mind and make peace with the Wind Army. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the palace and return to his house dejectedly.

Let's talk about Sa Fulong, he went to Fengying and met Shangguan Xiu smoothly. However, for Sa Fulong, Shangguan Xiu was business-like, and Tang Ling did not show up when he was met in the Chinese military tent.

During the negotiation, Sa Fulong put forward the three conditions to Shangguan Xiu, and he really bargained with him one by one. First of all, as for the indemnity of 200 million silver coins, the Besa side felt that this indemnity was unreasonable and did not pay it, as for the Wind Country to buy the Nashikiya region, it was possible, but it needed to pay 500 million taels of silver (the unit is two, not pieces). As for the garrison of troops in Besa, it is totally unacceptable and a great humiliation to the Besa State, and there is no room for bargaining in this matter.

The whole day of negotiation between the two sides was spent in constant arguments and hard bubbles. It was not until the evening that Savron said goodbye to Shangguanxiu and returned to the city of Goro. As soon as Sa Fulong left on his front foot, Tang Ling sent someone to invite Shangguan Xiu to her sleeping tent.

Shangguan Xiu took Meng Qiuchen and went to Tang Ling's sleeping tent together. When the two of them arrived, Tang Ling asked, "I heard that Besa suddenly changed the envoy of the negotiations. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Meng Qiuchen bowed and saluted, and said with a straight face: "This time it is Count Safron, Count Avleck, the Minister of the Interior of Besa!" "The Minister of the Interior, in modern times, is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the country, a high and powerful minister, and belongs to the most core minister.

The fact that Besa was able to send the Minister of the Interior to negotiate with him also shows that he really has the intention of negotiating peace.

Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu and Meng Qiuchen and asked, "The result of the negotiation is not ideal?"

Meng Qiuchen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "The three peace conditions proposed by our side were all vetoed by Sa Fulong one by one, but Sa Fulong did not say anything to death, it seems that there is still room for negotiation, which seems to be ...... Seems to be ......"

"What seems to be?" Tang Ling looked at him puzzled.

"He seems to be deliberately delaying with us and prolonging the negotiation!" Meng Qiuchen said thoughtfully. Of course, this is just the minister's intuition, and as for whether this is really the case, the minister is still not sure. ”

Tang Ling turned his gaze, looked at Shangguan Xiu again, and asked, "Xiu?"

Shangguan Xiu knocked on his forehead and asked Meng Qiuchen, "Sir, the main battlefield in the south, has there been any variables recently?"

Meng Qiuchen shook his head slowly, and said: "I just received the battle report from the south yesterday, my country's army has now taken the initiative, and it has dragged the main force of the Besa army, and the main force of the Besa army can't pull out to save Goro back and forth. ”

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "I don't know if the Besa people are the wind that they smoked, do they think that delaying time can drag our army down?"

"It's not impossible!" Meng Qiuchen said: "Our army's military rations have been exhausted, and there is not much ammunition left, and if we delay for another two or three days, our army will have no food to eat at all. ”

"yes, I see. After listening to Tang Ling's words, her face changed drastically, and here in Shangguan Xiu, she said lightly, 'I know', she glared at Shangguan Xiu dissatisfiedly, and said: "The army's food interruption is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be taken lightly!"

Seeing that her anxious little face was flushed, Shangguan Xiu smiled on her back, stretched out her hand to take Tang Ling into her arms, and said, "Our army is out of food, but there is a big granary in front of you, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that the two of them behaved intimately, Meng Qiuchen lowered his head in interest, his eyes fell on his toes, he was so shrewd, he naturally understood what it meant to be a courtier, and not to be disrespectful.

"Big granary?" Tang Linghu looked at Shangguan Xiu suspiciously, then looked at Meng Qiuchen and asked, "Meng Aiqing, what do you mean by this?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, what your Excellency means is that our army has no food, so we can ask for it from Goro City. ”

"If you want it, someone will give it to you?"

"If you don't give it, send troops immediately!"

"What if the people of Besa really give us food?"

"That shows that the delay of the Besa people is not expecting our army to be dragged down, but having other plans!" Meng Qiuchen replied respectfully.

Tang Ling blinked, her mind turned sharply, pondering for a moment, the corners of her mouth hooked, looking at Meng Qiuchen, who was bowing down, and her appearance was sincerely frightened, and then at Shangguan Xiu, who was full of smiles and a confident attitude, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, these two people are both shrewd and calculating, and the two of them together are the most perfect interpretation of the word 'embarrassed'.

"It seems that you two have already figured out how to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about it anymore!"

"Yes, in the army, the soldiers of our army are not afraid of any strong enemy, and they will win the battle and conquer it!"

"The implication of the gentleman's words is that Your Majesty doesn't have to do anything, you don't need to worry about anything, just make an ornament in the army, it is enough to inspire people, and the victory is thousands of miles away!" Shangguan Xiu added with a smile.

When Meng Qiuchen heard this, he was almost frightened out in a cold sweat, and grinned secretly, my lord, don't cheat me! He hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said in a sincere manner: "Weichen has no such intention, Your Majesty's sage, Weichen is not as good as Your Majesty!"

"Yo! It's rare to hear Mr. say insincere compliments, it's rare, it's rare, haha!" Shangguan Xiu looked up and laughed wickedly.

Tang Ling glanced at him angrily, then raised his arm, covered his small mouth with his cuffs, and also giggled, and said to Shangguan Xiuqiao with a smile: "I didn't see it before, Shangguan Aiqing is very talented as a traitor!"

"Traitor?"

"Frame a traitor who is loyal and good!"

"Haha-" Shangguan Xiu laughed again, and Meng Qiuchen couldn't help but laugh out with a puff, and his tense body relaxed a lot.

That's right! Shangguan Xiu glanced at him meaningfully, he hoped that Meng Qiuchen would not always be so restrained in front of Tang Ling, so sincere and fearful, and His Majesty, even if he was a monarch and a minister, he could also become friends.

Meng Qiuchen's military talent, Shangguan Xiu admired and appreciated, he didn't think that he would be able to do the military division of the Zhenjun Army, in the future, he would have greater and farther development, now he has a good relationship with His Majesty, and has formed a deep personal relationship, which is very important, and it is also conducive to his future career, not to mention that now Tang Ling is in the Zhenjun Army, he can contact every day, what a rare opportunity this is, if he can't grasp it, it would be a pity.

Shangguan Xiu's current vision is no longer limited to Zhenjun and Zhenjunjun, he can't grasp everything in his own hands, he can't be busy, when it's time to delegate power, he will naturally delegate power.

In his mind, Meng Qiuchen is one of the best candidates to take over the position of commander of the Zhenjun Army in the future.

But delegating power does not mean that there is no power, no matter who will take over the Zhenjun Army in the future, the Zhenjun Army is still firmly in his hands.

Shangguan Xiu's joke did bring the relationship between Tang Ling and Meng Qiuchen closer, and the latter also became what she called 'Zhongliang'.

You must know that Meng Qiuchen is not a Fengren, but a native of Ningnan, and being called loyal and good by His Majesty is undoubtedly a great affirmation for him.

Meng Qiuchen is so smart, he naturally understands Shangguan Xiu's intentions, and he is extremely grateful in his heart, the adults have really trusted and reused him without any guilt, and he is glad again that he made the decision to join Shangguan Xiu, which can be regarded as the most correct choice in his life.

The next day, Safron again served as an envoy to the Wind Camp.

This time, Shangguan Xiu's attitude was much tougher than yesterday, and he didn't discuss the details of peace with Sa Fulong at all, and told him bluntly that today, Goluo City must hand over 500,000 catties of grain, and if it can't be handed over today, the Feng army will immediately attack the city.

As for the peace talks between the two sides, they will wait until the city of Goro hands over the grain.

Shangguan Xiu's attitude was tough, and the soldiers in the Feng Army camp were also grinding their fists and sharpening their swords, and it seemed that they were really preparing to attack the city in a big way.

Goro City's current confidence is on the reinforcements, the reinforcements have not arrived, how can they resist the wind army on their own?

Savron did not dare to linger in the Wind Camp, and hurried back to the city of Goro, and conveyed the new conditions proposed by the Wind Army to King Peter and the ministers of the court.

The Wind Army was so eager to ask for food, which showed that the Wind Army was already short of food and grass, but knowing this, Goro City did not dare not meet the conditions of the Wind Army.

That night, at nightfall, Goro City really scraped together 500,000 catties of grain, transported it out of the city, and handed it over to the Feng Army.

What made the soldiers of the Wind Army hate it was that Goluo City gave 500,000 catties of potatoes.

Not long after the Zhenjun army entered Besa, the logistical supply was cut off, and the main food they ate was bread and potatoes, and the soldiers had already eaten sour water, but now it was good, even the bread was gone, only potatoes were left.

For this reason, many generals of the Feng Army also deliberately approached Shangguan Xiu and proposed to him that they should ask the Besa people for meat, they have to ask for meat, these potatoes are for pigs, and the Besa people gave them 500,000 catties of potatoes, isn't it just humiliating that they are pigs?

Hearing the grievances of the soldiers, Shangguan Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, in the country of wind, no one wants to eat potatoes, but in Besa, it is a staple food, why did it become for pigs?

In addition, there are millions of people in the city of Goro, and millions of mouths are opened every day to eat and drink, and it is not easy for the royal court of Besa to make up 500,000 catties of potatoes for himself.
