Chapter 219: Banquet Talk

didn't expect Lin Haotian to suddenly ask Sima Changren, Chen Yan and Ma De's faces changed, they were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to answer.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Yan laughed dryly, nodded and said, "General Sima is also in favor of peace between the two countries. ”

Chen Yan and Ma De's reactions had already made Lin Haotian suspicious, and when he heard that Sima Changren agreed with the peace, he was even more suspicious, with Sima Changren's personality, I am afraid that even if there is one soldier and one general left, he will not agree to the peace, right? Not to mention that he has just won a big victory!

Lin Haotian scoffed at Chen Yan's words, he narrowed his eyes, looked directly at Chen Yan, and asked in a condensed voice, "Really?"

Under Lin Haotian's sharp gaze like a knife, Chen Yan felt as if he was sitting naked in front of him without clothes, and any mood seemed to be seen through by Lin Haotian, and he stammered: "When ...... Of course, General Sima also agreed with the peace talks. ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, these two envoys don't seem to be deep people in the city, and they don't seem to have seen much of the world, if Mu Guo's peace is fake, and there are other plans, he will never send such a person to come, but listening to the other party's hesitant tone, it seems that there is something hidden in it.

While Lin Haotian was secretly pondering, Chen Yan took out a document from his arms, respectfully handed it to Lin Haotian, and said, "This is the peace treaty between the two countries approved by King Mu himself, please take a look at it." ”

Oh, it's interesting that Mukuni even drew up a peace treaty.

Lin Haotian raised his hand slightly, and Shao Lin, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and took the peace appointment over. Then it was forwarded to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian unfolded the peace treaty, looked down carefully, the main content of the peace treaty is that Mu Guo first made a daoqian on the matter of sending troops to the Jin State, and then summarized the various harms of the two countries fighting for a long time, until Zuihou proposed it, saying that he would no longer invade the Jin State, and compensate for the losses caused by the Mu army's invasion of the Jin State.

Here, Mu Guo is not forced to make compensation because of his defeat, of course, this is also the Mu Guo court in order to take care of its own face.

The amount of compensation is also explained in detail above. It was a hundred thousand taels of gold. Five million taels of silver, five million pieces of silk, and five million pieces of silk, if all these were exchanged for silver. That's almost 25 million taels.

Such a huge amount. It may be a drop in the bucket for Mu Guo. But for Jin Guo, this is a lot of money.

When Lin Haotian looked at the peace covenant, everyone in the big tent was looking at him with blank eyes. Chen Yan and Ma De naturally hoped that Lin Haotian would not add other conditions, and it was best to agree immediately, and all the generals of the Jin Kingdom were curious about the content of the peace treaty, and they stretched their necks one by one, and looked at the peace treaty in Lin Haotian's hand without blinking.

After carefully reading the peace treaty from beginning to end, Lin Haotian immediately judged that this peace treaty was drafted by the Mu State Imperial Court with all his might, and it was mentioned more than once that the two counties of Changyu and Shangpu were ceded to the Jin State by them, not returned, and it was written in order to pave the way for the recapture of the two counties in the future.

This peace treaty can be described as painstaking, could it be that Mu Guo really wants to negotiate peace with himself?

Lin Haotian slowly put down the peace agreement and raised his eyes to look at Chen Yan and Ma De.

Seeing Lin Haotian's gaze on him, Chen and Ma's hearts immediately rose to their throats, and their bodies tightened.

Chen Yan cautiously asked: "I wonder if General Lin is dissatisfied with this peace treaty, and whether he accepts China's peace proposal?"

Lin Haotian smiled and did not answer this question immediately, but said: "Lord Chen, for this matter, Ben Shuai has to think again. ”

"Yes, yes, the stakes are very high, and the general should really think about it, but the two countries are both big countries, and if they continue to consume for such a long time, no matter who loses or wins, it will not benefit each other, but will give other countries a chance, so I hope the general will think twice!"

"Haha-" Lin Haotian smiled and said, "Lord Chen's words, Ben Shuai has written them down." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "Prepare wine and food!" Lord Chen and Master Ma are rare guests, and they have come from afar, and Ben Shuai wants to accompany the two of them to have a few drinks today. ”

"Oh! The general is so polite. Chen Yan and Ma De hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two to sit down, he smiled: "Since we want to negotiate peace, we are a family, so we don't have to be too polite." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What the general said is extremely true!" Chen Yan and Ma De often talked to each other, and their hearts were relieved a lot, before they came, they had always heard that Lin Haotian was vicious and murderous, and when they saw it today, it seemed to be completely opposite, not only handsome, but also very peaceful.

After a short time, the guards moved the small tables one by one and put them in front of the generals, Chen Yan and Ma De, and then the wine and food were also served one after another.

Lin Haotian poured a glass of wine, picked up the glass, and smiled at Chen Yan and Ma De: "The two adults have come all the way to our army's camp, and they have worked very hard, and the commander respects the two!" After speaking, Lin Haotian shook the cup, raised his head and drank it all.

Lin Haotian is the commander of the first army, he drank the wine first, Chen Yan and Ma De dared to slack off, the two hurriedly picked up the wine glass, leaned over and said, "General Xie!" As he spoke, the two of them also drank the wine in the cup.

Jin Guo wine is different from Mu Guo wine, the former is much spicier than the latter, and the wine is much stronger, Chen Yan and Ma De drank a glass in one go, feeling that what they drank was not like wine, but more like a knife, and the pungency of the wine went straight to the head from the stomach, but in an instant, the faces of the two turned red.

Lin Haotian poured another glass of wine and said with a smile: "It can be seen that King Mu's peace negotiation is very sincere, and Ben Shuai has also carefully considered it, I can accept the peace negotiation!"

Hearing this, Chen Yan and Ma De were both in good spirits, and their eyes looked at Lin Haotian with bright eyes.

But before the two of them could speak, Lin Haotian continued: "It's just the amount of compensation......

"It's easy to discuss! As for the amount of compensation, this is easy to discuss, as long as the general's demands are not excessive, our country can accept it!" Chen Yan couldn't wait to promise.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart! It sounds like Mu Guo is very anxious to negotiate peace with himself, what is this weishenme?

Lin Haotian picked up the cup again and toasted Chen Yan and Ma De to each other, and then a bright and harmless smile appeared on his face, and he asked as if chatting about homely things, "How is King Mu doing?"

After two glasses of spirits, Chen Yan was already a little drunk, his face was ruddy, he didn't think about it, and replied with a smile: "My king is fine." ”

"Oh! That's good. It seems that it is not the problem of the Wood King, Lin Haotian rolled his eyes, and asked again: "How is the war in the western border of your country? It is said that the invasion of the Red Army is very fierce!"

Chen Yan nodded and said: "At the beginning, the Red Army did cause our country to suffer a big loss, but now General Ming has led a large army to the west and reversed the disadvantage, and the situation on our side has gradually improved. ”

What he said was similar to what Lin Haotian had learned, and the latter continued to probe and asked, "Lord Chen, General Sima was seriously injured a while ago, I don't know how he is healing now?"

Seeing that Lin Haotian asked Sima Changren again, Chen Yan, who had been answering fluently just now, began to hesitate again, he forced a smile and said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Lin Haotian is so smart, he doesn't change the sand in his eyes, Chen Yan's sudden change in demeanor can't hide his eyes, he picked up the wine glass again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, so I can feel at ease." As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Lord Chen, Master Ma, do it!"

"Dry!" couldn't and didn't dare to shirk Lin Haotian's toast, Chen Yan and Ma De drank another drink, this time both of them were a little dizzy.

Lin Haotian deliberately sighed, and said quietly: "Although General Sima and I have different positions and different camps, we are sympathetic, and after the peace is reached, I will go to Mu Country to visit him, and I will also take the opportunity to ask him for advice." ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Yan suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

What kind of general can be called a famous general? It has to be like Sima Changren, who can not only make his own soldiers sincerely admire, but also impress the enemy and opponent, and even Lin Haotian, as the commander of the first army, has such respect and value for General Sima, which shows that his ability is extraordinary.

But the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Chen Yan's heart became, such a general, a famous general, but his life was on the verge of death, if Sima Changren had three long and two short, this would undoubtedly break one of Mu Guo's arms!

Thinking of this, Chen Yan was sad, his eyes were hot, and tears swirled in his eyes.

Seeing his tearful appearance, Lin Haotian was stunned, could it be that Sima Changren had an accident? Thinking of this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his nerves tensed, but he didn't show the slightest expression, and asked with pretended concern: "Lord Chen, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Chen Yan stroked the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and waved his hand at the same time.

Even a fool can see that he is lying! Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still looked concerned, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the medical officer of our army has an ancestral golden medicine, which is very useful, and when you return to China, you just take some with you and give it to General Sima, it will definitely help his injury." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said to Shao Lin behind him, "Quickly ask the medical officer to come over!"

"Yes, King!" Shao Lin agreed, and he was about to go out.

Seeing this, Chen Yan hurriedly waved his hand and choked up: "No...... No need. ”

Lin Haotian asked, "What?"

Chen Yan stood up, bowed deeply to Lin Haotian, and said, "I have thanked General Lin for General Sima first, but ...... General Sima no longer needs the Golden Creation Medicine!"

Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "Why is this? Could it be that General Sima's wound has healed?"

Hearing this, the other gold generals in the big tent raised their heads one after another and looked at Chen Yan.

Sima Changren's injuries healed so quickly? This is incredible, and this is definitely very bad news for his own side.

Chen Yan shook his head again and again, the tears rolling in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and they flowed down, and he said intermittently: "Yes...... It was General Sima's injuries that worsened, and he became ill from overwork, I am afraid that he would ...... I'm afraid time is running out!" (To be continued......)
