Ninety-seven Negotiation 1
……
Early the next morning, Prime Minister Tun led a group of officials such as Woo Bu Ye and Mai Bu Ma Qi as envoys, escorted by 200 guards, and marched in the direction of Turbo City with trembling fears.
It wasn't until late in the evening that Tun and the others finally arrived at Turbo City, which had been occupied by the Han army for months.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Before they could enter the city, two Han guards stopped them with a loud voice.
He beckoned everyone to dismount in unison, then saluted respectfully and said in stiff Chinese: "Your Excellency the honorable general, we are the envoys of the noble widow country, and those who have come to negotiate peace, can you take us to meet the general of the Celestial Empire?" ”
The Han guard glanced at them and muttered a few words to his companion before the guard turned and left.
Not long after, a group of heavily armed Han soldiers rushed out from the turbine city gate, each armed with bows and crossbows and spears, which frightened the group and the group.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "Isn't this the prime minister?" What are you doing here? ”
When a few people heard this, they looked at the source of the sound and couldn't help but light up.
"Kunijo-sama, are you alright?"
"Hmph, do you really want me to have something?"
"That's not what I meant......"
"Okay, you're here for peace talks, right? Let people put down their weapons, it's getting late today, let's talk tomorrow, come with me. ”
Sedan, like the master of the place, told the people what to do.
Soon, the 200 guards brought by Anton were unarmed and made sure that they had no weapons on them before being taken into the Turbo Fortress.
Dinner was being prepared in the fortress, and when Ma Qi looked quietly, he saw several Yueshi Han soldiers skillfully tearing off a roasted leg of mutton, and then evenly spreading it on the leg of lamb with a sauce made of unknown ingredients, exuding a burst of tempting fragrance.
There are also some Han soldiers who put the kneaded dough cake on a flat iron plate, only to hear the sound of oil, a white smoke rises, the dough cake is gradually ripe, the oil is smooth and greasy, and it makes people salivate.
"These Han soldiers, the food is really good, ordinary pawns can eat the same as us nobles, and we don't blame us for defeat, the Central Plains is really amazingly rich."
At the same time, Mai Bu Ma Qi also noticed that almost everyone in these Han soldiers was wearing armor, and most of them were still in iron armor.
It's just that this iron armor is not the chain mail in his impression, or the traditional iron leaf armor, but an unfamous armor.
This set of armor is like a whole, protecting the vital position of the chest, and it looks very strong, and ordinary swords, bows and crossbows are afraid that they can't penetrate it.
Of course, I have never seen this kind of armor, because this is also a product of the era of painting - the cuirass.
It is stamped with a hydraulic hammer in one go, and of course, in addition to the initial breastplate, there are shoulder armor, arm armor, knee pads, wrist armor, swing armor, helmet, etc.
The full set of armor weighs thirty-two pounds, all of which are forged from fine iron, and it is difficult to break through the armor in close combat except for piercing blunt attacks, and those crossbows and crossbows are still unable to break through the armor protection regardless of whether they are projectile or direct fire twenty steps away.
However, it is naturally impossible to know whether these buy or not.
"Here, you will rest here for the night tonight, and I will ask the general to bring you food."
Seidan led the group to a building, then left them behind and turned to leave.
"Kunijo-sama......"
Anton called out to Sedan.
"During this time, has the Guozhang been with the Han army?"
When Saidan heard this, he showed a smug face: "Exactly, thanks to General Bai Qi's appreciation, he treated me with great courtesy, and in the future, the noble widow empire will look forward to the Han Dynasty." ”
When he heard this, he exclaimed, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Sedan: "At this point, hasn't the Prime Minister seen through the situation?" There is only one dead end to go against the Han Dynasty,
I'm not like you guys who can only talk about it, I don't even have any eyesight, the Western Regions, and even the entire Central Continent will be the territory of the Han Dynasty sooner or later,
If you don't show your loyalty now, how long will you stay? I have negotiated with General Bai Qi, and I am willing to give half of my clan's property in exchange for the support of the Han Dynasty.
And my son, Saipan, is about to be canonized as the new king of the noble widow by His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
He is not worthy to be my widow's king. ”
When the officials heard this, they were completely shocked.
It's not that I'm surprised that Seidan openly plotted to usurp the throne, anyway, such a thing has already been treasured by the noble widows, and there have been dozens of palace coups alone, and it is impossible to tell which nobleman is sitting on the throne.
The real surprise is that the throne of the noble widow needs to be recognized by the emperor of the Central Plains who is far away in the east, which is simply a great shame.
"Lord Guozhang, you have simply made the noble widow lose face!"
"I made your widow lose face? Hmph, who insisted on going to war with the Great Han? Who shouted that General Bai Qi was an unknown young general? And who! Stained the territory with the blood of hundreds of thousands of horses of my noble widows?
Now it's blaming me, and I really have the face to say, now that all the young and strong in my country have been lost, will the rest of the country, Parthia, and the Great Food still get along with us as equals as before?
If they raise an army to attack, how can they resist! Only by being loyal to the Han Dynasty and obeying their drive can we keep my noble widow, and you, as the prime minister of a country, should understand this consequence.
Think about it, when I talk to General Bai Qi tomorrow, I will say a few kind words for you, stop having fearless illusions, recognize your situation, and don't anger him again. ”
When Saidan spoke, he was speechless, and he held his breath in his heart, but he didn't know how to spit it out.
After Saidan left with the steps of not recognizing his six relatives, everyone in the room was still silent, looking like he couldn't stop worrying.
Inevitably, in an uneasy atmosphere, everyone finally ushered in the moment of negotiation.
It's just that this time, it was not Bai Qi who came, but Huai Wang Weiji.
"Oh, this must be the noble widow prime minister that the father-in-law talked about, Lord Tun, this king is polite, come on, let's sit down and talk, don't stand, let this king be embarrassed."
He looked at the fat man in front of him who was like a meat ball and smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and he was a little confused for a while.
So he cautiously asked, "Dare to ask where General Bai is?" ”
Wei Ji said with a smile: "General Bai is busy with military affairs, so there is no need to trouble him for such trivial matters, this king is fully responsible, and I will discuss this peace negotiation with you." ”
When the noble widow heard this, she suddenly felt uneasy, Bai Qi refused to see herself, and the guy in front of her looked so unreliable, can this negotiation continue?
At this moment, Saidan snorted lightly and said: "This is the prince of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and when it comes to the title, General Bai has to salute when he sees him.
You don't want to offend His Royal Highness King Huai, His Royal Highness King Huai is highly valued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, understand! ”
After Saidan said this, everyone reacted, it turned out that this fat man was actually the prince of the Han Empire, this identity was really unusual, and they immediately put away their doubts and saluted him one after another.
For such a scene, Wei Ji just shook his hand and smiled: "Don't be polite, this king is elegant and easy-going, very talkative, don't be restrained, just sit down and chat casually as old friends." ”
After a pause, he said: "Of course, although this king is right to negotiate with you, whether it succeeds or not, in the end, General Bai has the final say, don't take this king too seriously, hehehehe......"
Although everyone does not belong to the same civilization, they are all upper-class people, and when everyone heard it, they roughly understood what Wei Ji's last words meant.
Whether it is successful or not, the white general has the final say?
If you take it literally, it's like you're talking about a fart!
The meaning of this sentence translates is: whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether everyone is on the road or not, and this matter will be over immediately after the road, and if you don't go on the road, wash your neck and wait for death.
The whole thing is to ask for bribes.
Damn, can you just order the benefits? You Seris are really hypocritical, and we have to experience it ourselves if we want money!
