124 Truce and peace talks

"Yi Xiaoyou~ I miss the old man!"

Yi Tianhang was bragging with Qin Zhanxiong there, but he heard the voice of an old man behind him, and he was familiar with it, who could it be if he wasn't a flying toad.

Seeing this, Qin Zhanxiong found an excuse to leave, he just wanted to deal with it, to explore the bottom of Yi Tianhang, who thought that Yi Tianhang really talked to him, alas, mistakes, mistakes.

"I haven't seen my little friend for months, and the old man thinks about it day and night."

Gongsun Zizai was still dressed in red, in good spirits, and trotted all the way, behind him was Jiang Baihua, the marquis of the ditch in white, Ding Ci, who was wooden, and a group of guards of the Hou Mansion.

"Don't come to the seniors, the kid also misses the seniors a lot." Yi Tianhang never thought of Gongsun Zizai.

"Haha, the old man knows that your kid is affectionate, come, first borrow the old man a thousand taels of silver." Gongsun is free, this is a robbery of the rich.

"Didn't Master Hou give you silver every month?" Yi Tianhang knew that if this old man was so enthusiastic, nothing good would happen.

"Don't mention it, the little marquis is very stingy, only a few dozen taels of silver a month, which is not enough for the old man to go out and have a happy trip." Gongsun said with disgust.

Jiang Baihua, who was only four or five steps away, heard it clearly, and looked embarrassed, the Hou Mansion had Gongsun Zi waiting for a guest here, it was really disgraceful! He shouldn't have been greedy for his fame and recruited him to do things, but at this time, he couldn't get rid of him, and he was counted down by him in vain.

"Brother Yi, fighting on the battlefield, are you still used to it?" Jiang Baihua stepped forward.

"Thanks to the Hou Ye's concern, the end will be on the battlefield, and it is indeed very happy." Yitian sails the salute.

"Brother Yi doesn't have to be polite, why should you and I be bound by the world." Jiang Baihua leaned over and said, "I hope you die on the battlefield, so that Yixue is the king's, hahahaha." ”

Yi Tianhang looked at the pretty face stretched out with a smug look, and teased: "It's a pity that Brother Jiang is reluctant to die, I'm afraid that there will be no rivals in this world who have equal fellowship with you, so tangled and twisted, it's only Brother Jiang." ”

"Huh? In one sentence, he is worthy of being a person who Ben Hou admires, go, and accompany Ben Hou for a few drinks. Jiang Baihua said that he would pick up Yi Tianhang and leave, but Gongsun Zizi was deliberately blocked by Ding Ci.

The old man Gongsun saw that the silver of Baihuahua was getting farther and farther, and he was anxious, but he didn't dare to really disobey Jiang Baihua, and couldn't stop lamenting after him.

Yan Chun, Shan Yue, Hu Kang and others, who were building a camp not far away, were dumbfounded, and their own lieutenant was also a cow, I heard that he had some friendship with the Marquis of Danqu, but I didn't expect this relationship to be so good that they held hands, alas? No, how can these two people have a good feeling of Longyang.

。。。

Just after the next day, Wang Jian made a big tent.

Yi Tianhang opened the curtain and walked inside, only to see that in the depths of the big tent, behind the desk full of bamboo slips, Jiang Baihua was sitting upright, a rare and serious book. From the inside to the outside, there are two rows of six seats on the left and right, Mu Ziyu on the right, Qin Zhanxiong on the left, these two are the highest-ranking generals in the Shu Army, Wang Jian and the two captains of the Jiangyang Army sat down in turn, only the last seat in the right row was empty, don't think about it, it must be reserved for Yi Tianhang, the captain with the least seniority in the Shu Army.

Xing Zongliang was sent by Mu Ziyu to Jiawu to command the troops a few days ago, and Yu Siren stayed in Zizhong to deal with the affairs of the General's Mansion, so these two and Yi Tianhang missed perfectly.

"What is the matter of convening you today, I think you all know very well in your hearts, originally Xiaohou and General Mu wanted to let all the generals and officers above the captain of Shudi arrive, but in order to prevent the barbarians from cheating, the major battalions of Jiawu and Jiangyang still need to be guarded, so only you are present today." Jiang Baihua saw that Yi Tianhang was seated, so he said straight to the point.

Jiang Baihua glanced at Yi Tianhang, and continued: "The barbarian leader Qiangba is asking for peace, the ministers of the court have become a mess, and the two groups of ministers who are fighting the main war and the main peace are openly fighting in the court, Brother Wang is already anxious, and he has handed over this matter to Xiaohou and you, whether it is war or peace, it is up to us to agree!"

Yi Tianhang looked at the people present, the three Jiangyang soldiers plus Qin Zhanxiong and him, counting the six people of Mu Ziyu, this is going to decide whether to fight with the barbarians or make peace?

"You are all pillars of the army, you have been at war with the barbarians for many years, and you know this barbarian very well, the reason why Brother Wang handed over this matter to you is that the people in the court are pampered and far away from the battlefield, and they are far inferior to you in the matter of the barbarians, please speak freely." Jiang Baihua glanced at everyone in the tent, just waiting for someone to cooperate.

Mu Ziyu said: "Master Hou has said so, you don't have to be restrained. The old man first talked about what he thought, it is beneficial and harmless to negotiate peace with the country and the people, this barbarian has repeatedly violated my territory, it is really a chronic disease, but the southern Xinjiang is far away, it is extremely difficult for our army to completely conquer, and the barbarian army comes and goes quickly, it is not easy to take advantage of its main force to assemble and annihilate its people, if you can get along in harmony and trade through trade, it will greatly enhance the national strength of our Great Qi. ”

Qin Zhanxiong coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said: "General Mu's insight, the last general admires, it's just that the barbarians have repeatedly violated the border, for more than ten years, the incursions have continued, and today's peace may not be true, although Yu Wuling has severely damaged his army, but the main force of the barbarian army in Jiawu and Jiangyang is still there, if it is easy to let it go, it will come back in less than a year and a half!" ”

Qin Zhanxiong, as a veteran general in the army, naturally has a lot of weight in his speech, and at this time, he talks eloquently, but it is also reasonable.

Wang Jian has always supported Mu Ziyu, and seeing that Qin Zhanxiong had different opinions, he said: "General Yimo has explored and understood the strength of the barbarian army, grain and grass, ordnance and other aspects, and this Qiangba should sincerely seek peace. ”

Qin Zhanxiong has always disliked Wang Jian, and sneered in a low voice: "Ignorant and reckless, slapping villains." ”

Wang Jian was annoyed when he heard this, but because Jiang Baihua was present, it was not easy to attack, so he continued: "The barbarian tribe's large-scale attack this time relied on the plan of attacking the east and the west and attacking Wuling, in order to directly penetrate the hinterland of our army, disintegrate the morale of our army, and quickly resolve the battle. Now the surprise attack on Wuling has come to naught, and it has lost 30,000 soldiers, which is not a small loss for the barbarians, and the main force of its march into Jiawu and Jiangyang has also lost more than 40,000 people, so the last general dares to say that Qiangba is worried about the delay for a long time, and is afraid that the main force will be lost, and wants to withdraw as soon as possible. ”

"Hmph~ Just a few people, decided whether to fight or peace, is it too hasty?" Qin Zhanxiong has a lot of complaints.

Qin Zhanxiong has his back to the prime minister, and he is not afraid of offending people between his words, and the Southern Qi court is constantly surging, and the three forces of the king of Qi, the prime minister, and the general contain each other and maintain a delicate balance.

Mu Ziyu saw Jiang Baihua's displeasured face, and hurriedly took over the words, saying: "Speaking of Wuling, Captain Yi can be said to be a great contribution, if Wuling is lost, the barbarian general Suo Lang opened the southeast portal, at this moment, I am afraid that I have suffered from the enemy and have no power to return to the sky." ”

"That's it! What the three generals said is reasonable, but it is not beneficial for my Daqi to continue to fight, and in the current situation, it is the best policy to talk about peace, since the barbarians have taken the initiative to propose, Ben Hou thinks that it should be done with the trend! However, it is also necessary to beware of the deceit of the barbarians, and all departments must not slack off, and must strictly guard against the sneak attack of the barbarians. Ben Hou's intention is not only to negotiate peace with the barbarians, but also to give grace and power and make friends with them, so as to ensure that my southwest border is worry-free for a hundred years, after all, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the strong enemy of my Great Qi! Jiang Baihua said irrefutably.

Jiang Baihua rolled his eyes at Qin Zhanxiong and continued: "The barbarian envoy is still in the camp, so he has set a policy for peace talks, and when this marquis reports to Brother Wang, the matter of peace talks will be handled by those literati in the court!" ”

At this time, it seems that Jiang Baihua and Mu Ziyu have already made up their minds to talk about peace, and summoning the generals is nothing more than a formality to inform everyone.

At the end of February of the 14th year of Longwu in Southern Qi, Zhao Shilang and his entourage arrived at the Tangtingshan camp and contacted Jiang Baihua and Mu Ziyu for peace talks.

The barbarian army has withdrawn to southern Xinjiang, and only a few hundred envoys remain here, and the two sides are scheduled to formally negotiate in ten days.

Originally, Qiangba had successfully withdrawn from the army, but it was expected that the Qi army would not dare to chase into southern Xinjiang, and the purpose of preserving strength had been achieved, and he did not want to negotiate peace with Qi again, so he only waited for the next year to rest properly, and then knocked on the border to invade the border and plunder the wealth of Shu.

But Solang encouraged the leaders of the caves to urge peace talks, but Qiangba couldn't, so he had to send someone to meet with Nanqi, maybe he could also negotiate benefits.

During this period of time, Yi Tianhang and other generals were idle, but the army was stationed but there was no war, and they only practiced soldiers and horses every day, but fortunately, the Qingcheng faction and the people of the Absolute Sword Sect have been staying here, Liao Yuheng, Ling Qingshuang, Ran Yunhan and others often come to Yi Tianhang to learn martial arts, and when Shangguan Lu and Liu Qingyuan are here, the combination of swords and swords that has been put aside has been put on the agenda again.

The only thing that makes Yi Tianhang not very satisfactory is Jiang Baihua and Gongsun Zizai, Jiang Baihua is okay, but he often asks him to drink, and Gongsun Zi is like a dog skin plaster in this old man, running to Yi Tianhang every day, eating and drinking, borrowing money with dead skin, and the people who were tortured by Yi Tianhang have lost a lot of weight.

Ling Qingshuang and Ran Yunhan saw the clue, how could this pearl of Qingcheng tolerate their sweetheart being "bullied" by an old man? These two people don't know what to do, Gongsun Zizi is actually running away for more than half a month, and the capable and shrewd Houfu doorman is like a beggar on the roadside by Huo Huo.

Regarding the matter of the barbarian general Suo Lang making the sword rushing thunder, Shangguan Lu and Liu Qingyuan had already talked to Yi Tianhang, and this matter was like a sudden explosion of thunder in the silent night.

Although Liu Qingyuan had heard Xing Zongliang say it a long time ago, now he still didn't want to believe it when he heard Yi Tianhang say it, Shangguan Lu thought about it and believed it fifty or sixty percent, fortunately, these two are old people who have seen the wind and waves for a long time, and they are extremely calm in the face of trouble, and they are not in a hurry to find Ran Xingzhou to confront them, but agreed to secretly investigate, if Ran Xingzhou has treason, sooner or later he will find out the clues.

Liu Qingyuan learned earlier that his beloved son was probably not harmed by the Tang Sect, and at this moment, he knew that the senior brother in charge of the sect who had been friends for half his life was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and his mind was extremely disturbed, and he felt that the undercurrent of this Shu land was not small.

More than ten miles west of the camp of Tangting Mountain, at the edge of the forest under the mountain, the blue sky and white clouds, the green jade and verdant, and the fragrance of the grass and trees is on the face. Today, it was rare for Yitianhang to get rid of Jiang Baihua, but he was dragged out by Liao Yuheng, Ling Qingshuang, and Ran Yunhan.

Yi Tianhang and Suo Lang lost twice, he is no longer confident in his martial arts, although he can be proud of his peers, but at best it is only the level of the middle and lower levels of the rivers and lakes, and it is imminent to improve martial arts, and the sword of Nulin can not be held for a while, even if the sword trick is in hand, it can not be practiced overnight, and the only thing that can be improved as soon as possible is the combination of swords and the trick of washing dust.
