Between the lightning and the fire, King Gaochang thought a lot, and after the anger, he groaned.

He felt that the Great Wei was powerful, mainly because of the advanced weapons, and the general had no strategy, relying on weapons to constantly bomb to achieve victory.

If other countries also have advanced weapons, the pattern will be completely changed, and the Great Wei will fall from its hegemonic position.

Zhang Tian nodded and said calmly: "Yes, if the king doesn't believe it, you can send someone to inquire, presumably Gaochang also has a lot of spies in my country." ”

"No, you don't." King Gaochang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "What the head of the Zhang family said, this king naturally believes it.

It seems that those two people want to ask for money from this king, return to China to invite merit, and even let His Majesty Great Wei exempt them from punishment. ”

He has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and he already thinks that Yuan Wanshan and the military department Shangshu started a war privately, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he will inevitably be punished when he goes back.

But if you can bring the war power back, the situation will be different, so I stayed in the Western Regions in the cold and did not retreat.

Damn, in other words, you have to get enough of the benefits to go.

Thinking of this, King Gaochang almost crushed his old teeth.

Zhang Tian nodded, "Yes, so the king wants to ask me to persuade General Yuan to withdraw his troops, not because I don't want to, but because I can't do anything." ”

What Zhang Tian said was the truth, and he didn't lie, but he didn't know whether Li Xingchen would punish the two of them.

The two chatted and chatted, and the next person filled the table with wine and food.

King Gaochang personally poured Zhang Tian a glass of wine, Zhang Tian tasted it, his eyes lit up, isn't this the high grade liquor of Dawei? I can't help but be surprised, the royal business is really big, all over the country, and even the wine goes abroad.

If Li Xingchen is not the emperor, I am afraid that the first family of Great Wei will be replaced.

Not long after, the banquet ended and Zhang Tian left.

Of course, although he didn't like King Gaochang's gift, he still took it away.

What the king of a country prepares is not too good, nor is it too bad.

After that, King Gaochang gathered his henchmen to discuss the affairs of the border city, and finally came to the conclusion that compensation!

Want half a million silver, impossible.

If Yuan Wanshan and the others did not break through the Gaochang City Gate, 500,000 would be enough.

But now is the time when Gaochang needs to recuperate the most, and most of the money from the treasury is used to build city houses and compensate the families of the people who died in the war, how can there be so much money for Dawei!

The final decision was made to compensate 100,000!

An envoy was sent to inform him.

When Yuan Wanshan got the news, he sneered and immediately refused.

Only to pay 100,000? Don't even think about it!

When there are so many soldiers in the Great Wei Dynasty, don't you need money to eat and drink Lazar here? 100,000, thanks to what they said?

500,000, not a word is missing.

Anyway, they have already loosened, so they can't easily agree.

If you continue to squeeze it, the money will only be more, not less.

The military department Shangshu laughed on the side.

He and Yuan Wanshan thought the same, with a tough attitude, if you want to pay, you will pay well, and if you don't pay, you will go to war.

……

Time passed slowly, from early winter to mid-winter, and the weather became colder and colder.

Heavy snow fell in many places in the Western Regions, including the Gaochang border.

In winter, the swords, guns, swords, and halberds are extremely cold, which is not suitable for war, especially in snowy weather, and it is impossible to start a war, so the negotiations between the Great Wei garrison and Gaochang have been deadlocked.

At this time, the Turkic spies avoided the eyeliner and sneaked into the territory of Gaochang to keep the king of Gaochang private!

"I, the Turkic Khan, hope that your country will quickly persuade the border garrison to retreat! Otherwise, once it is discovered that our country is copying artillery trucks, it will be troublesome. ”

The spy came to convey the meaning of the new Turkic king.

Hearing this, King Gaochang did not have any dissatisfaction.

Yes, the study of the artillery carriage is a secret among secrets, if Dawei does not withdraw his troops, once he hears some wind and grass, the plan will be in vain, and the situation must not be caused by the problem of money.

Although the 500,000 yuan in compensation is a lot, there is no way to do it now, in order to avoid affecting the imitation of the gun car, it seems that this money must be compensated.

It's okay, when the artillery cart is imitated, it should be time for them to unite to attack Great Wei.

At that time, everything that is lost will be regained a hundredfold and a thousandfold.

Not only the money, but also the land and beauties of Dawei, everything will be theirs.

Thinking of this, King Gaochang was extremely excited and immediately agreed.

Two days later, King Gaochang sent an envoy to Yuan Wanshan again, saying that he was willing to pay a one-time compensation of 400,000 yuan, which was already all the money in Gaochang's country, and the remaining 100,000 yuan would be paid off in the coming year.

Yuan Wanshang got the news, discussed it with the military department Shangshu for a while, and decided to agree and stop the fighting!

In the end, Da Wei took 400,000 white silver coins and a 100,000 yuan bill and prepared to evacuate the border.

A group of skilled craftsmen gathered by small countries continued to study imitation artillery carriages in secret Turkic locations day and night.

King Gaochang secretly traveled to the Turks to find out how the artillery carriage was studied.

The fact that the lord of a country went there in person shows how much he valued the artillery carriage.

In fact, he really put all his hopes on the artillery carriage.

After King Gaochang came secretly, he was approached to the Turkic palace, and waited for an hour before the Turkic Khan came.

The Turkic Khan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just came back, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

King Gaochang was furious, and his burning internal organs hurt.

But in other countries, he did not dare to be presumptuous, so he suppressed his anger.

"How's the gun carriage studied? Take me to the secret base to have a look. ”

King Gaochang said in a deep voice.

I came here today for the only purpose of this one.

As the king, he can't leave the country for too long, otherwise some wolf ambitions don't know what he will do during this period.

In addition, Yuan Wangshan and others are just preparing to return to Dawei, and they haven't left yet, so it's a hidden danger.

In case the Wei spies find out that they are not in the palace, and thus involve the artillery carriage, the gains outweigh the losses.

The Turkic Khan nodded, and without any hesitation, changed into civilian clothes and led him out of the palace.

Both of them were private visits to Weifu, and in order to prevent people from following them, they went around several times before they came to the secret base.

Most of the Turks are plains, but the secret bases are in caves.

It is said to be a cave, but it is actually not big, two people are high, but there is a cave inside.

The two of them entered the cave along the inside, and there were many forks, and if they were not led by someone, they would inevitably lose their way in the labyrinth-like cave.

Not long after, when we arrived at our destination, there was a huge basement, brightly lit, people coming and going, and a group of people dressed in various costumes and with faces of other countries were studying the gun carriage together.

There are also many translators next to it, and they are always translated accurately.

The soup king was suddenly full of enthusiasm and stepped forward to take a look.

There are many fragments of artillery carriages around, and there is even one that has been built, which is exactly the same as the gun carriage of the Great Wei in appearance, but the effect is unknown.

After reading it, King Gaochang noticed that there were many outsiders.
