Chapter 789: Sending Envoys
Seeing this, Guo Kai hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted back, "Hey, Lord Overseer is polite, sending troops to support is a matter of duty, so why thank me."
"Speaking of sending troops to support, this officer is still ashamed, if he had received a request for help from the Overseer earlier, the Mengzhou army would not have suffered heavy casualties, every time he saw those casualties, this officer felt guilty in his heart, and I hope the Overseer will not blame."
"Where, where, Lord Guo doesn't have to be like this, fight, where there are immortals, Lord Guo just do his best, don't blame yourself."
Su Qi'an was relieved, and Guo Kai nodded slightly.
The two entered the city left and right, and along the way, the attitude between the two was not good, but it was definitely respectful, and there was no tension when they met for the first time.
seems to have experienced the first war in the two northwestern states, and the relationship between the two has improved a lot and reconciled a lot.
And the many soldiers who followed behind him, their faces were calm, and they followed silently, without saying anything.
Under the leadership of Guo Kai, Su Qi'an and his entourage entered Mengzhou Mansion.
After everyone took their seats, Su Qi'an didn't say too much greetings and asked.
"Lord Guo, it's only been about a month, how can these honored soldiers react like this, and what happened here?"
Guo Kai sighed, shook his head, and said, "Hey, I didn't want to alarm you the Overseer about this, but the Honored Soldiers are quite strong this time, and I have to meet you by name, otherwise we will have to fight again."
"To put it bluntly, asking for an explanation for Meng Khan is just a rhetoric, it is a deliberate incident, this time the Honored Soldiers did not put on a big posture, they just wanted to send someone to talk to you about the Overseer, and there was nothing else."
Su Qi'an nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flashed, and he asked Chen Dao and Song Biao on the side below.
The answer I got was basically the same as Guo Kai's reply, that is, I wanted to ask for an explanation for Meng Khan, and I would send an envoy, of course, this is on the surface, as for the real purpose in private, it is unknown.
"My lord, I don't think it's necessary at all, negotiating with these honored soldiers, saying that it is a negotiation, everyone can see that they have no intention of negotiating, maybe they are delaying the time for the transfer of troops." Look at the book
"That's right, even if you negotiate, it is estimated that you can't talk about anything, since you know the result, there is no need to negotiate, and these honored soldiers really put themselves on the throne of the country? Negotiate if you ask for negotiation, and fight if you want to? I really thought we were bullies."
"That's it, isn't it just a war, it's not that we haven't fought before, and in the end, it's not that we have beaten and fled, and now we are sending people to ask for what kind of explanation? It's ridiculous, my lord, let's go to war directly, even if we fight, we won't be afraid of them, just take this opportunity to recover Mengzhou in one fell swoop."
In the mansion, Song Biao, Chen Dao, Er Meng, Li Sheng and others, in the end, they all screamed, eager to lead the troops to the expedition now.
After fighting with the Rong Bing, I realized that the so-called Rong Bing is not so terrible, it is not the same death, and it is not invulnerable.
In their opinion, it is nothing more than a delaying tactic, and sooner or later they will have to fight on the battlefield and see the real thing.
Su Qi'an could understand everyone's excitement, he stretched out his hand and pressed down to appease.
Everyone's voices immediately became a lot smaller, and Su Qi'an said, "I can understand your feelings, I know that you are not afraid of death or war, but if you can resolve the war in Mengzhou through negotiation and restore peace as soon as possible, I think this is also your wish."
"Of course, we can't put all our hopes above negotiations, and we have to be prepared for the outbreak of war, so for negotiations, this Overseer will personally meet with the so-called envoys, and you will return to your posts and actively prepare for war."
"I promise that I will completely recover Mengzhou, and if I don't recover Mengzhou, this overseer will never leave."
"Everything is up to your lordship."
Everyone in the house got up and hugged their fists.
After briefly discussing some follow-up details, about a quarter of an hour later, Guo Kai got up and left first with someone he knew well.
He knew Su Qi
In addition to being responsible for negotiations, it is more important to have a good gathering with his subordinates.
There are some private words, he must not be present, everyone has their own secrets, he still understands this.
Guo Kai's departure, the atmosphere in the mansion was obviously a lot more relaxed, after the discussion of the main matter, these generals of the Dongshan Army were full of excitement, and they were gossiping about Su Qi'an, and the atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became lively.
Looking at the people who hadn't seen each other for a while, Su Qi'an was also very happy.
After fighting for so long, I have seen many soldiers who have died in battle, but seeing these familiar people in front of me are all alive and well, this is Su Qi'an's greatest contentment.
Although he was prepared before the war, Su Qi'an still couldn't help but feel nervous for them, especially these generals, who had a long time with him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were brothers.
"My lord, when do you see when you can let me join the Dongshan Army, but I heard that your lord has opened up the quota, you must leave one for me." It was none other than Li Sheng, one of the four deputy generals of the Mengzhou Army.
"Hey, Li Sheng, let's say it, fair competition, what's the matter, you want to go back in front of adults."
"Who... Whoever wants to take the back road, I just report to the adults in advance."
"Oh, report, then I'll report too."
"And me! Me too."
"You... Aren't you scoundrels?"
"What, you're reporting, and you're a scoundrel when you come to us? Li Sheng, I think you're a scoundrel."
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, in the mansion, a burst of lively laughter broke out again, and the laughter resounded, making people feel very happy.
Li Sheng and the others' fighting, Su Qi'an did not stop it, he smiled and looked at the happy crowd below.
After a while, Fang nodded loudly and agreed one by one.
The bustle of the crowd gathered in the mansion lasted for about half an hour, and only gradually dispersed after it was said that it was completely enjoyable.
After a while, only he and Tong Zhan were left in the mansion, and as for Chen Dao, Song Biao and other generals, they also followed Su Qi'an's orders, and each had their own important things to do.
Not long after everyone left, Tong Zhan, who was standing behind Su Qi'an, suddenly said.
"My lord, my subordinates think that you had better be wary of Lord Guo."
"Oh, why do you say that?" Su Qi'an raised his eyelids and asked.
"The subordinates don't know, but over the years, the subordinates have seen a lot of ***, and they don't say anything clearly, but it's not bad."
"This Lord Guo gives people a very dangerous feeling, and he is by no means as easy to get along with as he seems on the surface."
"Really? If this person is really cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he will change his mistakes when he knows them, will it be a little bad to be wary of him?" Su Qi'an asked again.
"If this is the case, then this Lord Guo is very terrible, if you can make a state pastor with tens of thousands of soldiers neither humble nor arrogant, change when he knows his mistakes, and act in all his ways, it can only be said that this person is not a simple character."
"My subordinates don't know anything else, but I can be sure that I can serve as the state pastor of Jinju for so many years, and I have never made a mistake, such a person must be quite powerful, don't be careless."
Tong Zhan's words, Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
"Well, after a few years of Tong Zhan, your eyesight has increased a lot, and I am very satisfied with your ideas."
"You're right, a state pastor who can bend and stretch, and actively cooperate, how can such a person not make people feel terrible."
"Originally, this time I asked for help, I thought he would deliberately shirk it, after all, such an opportunity to see me fall into the water, I want to be anyone, and I won't let it go."
"And even if you really deliberately shirk and come a few steps late, it can be said that the road is far away, the environment has changed, and there are a lot of delays on the road, such a statement, even if I can't do anything about him." ap..
"But this person, not only arrived in time, but also did not even slack off, saying that it was full support, which is not an exaggeration, and took over later
Mengzhou, I don't have the slightest idea of trespassing, such a person, if he is His Majesty's person, maybe I will be convinced."
"But he is the Jinju pastor, and from this moment on, I know that this person is not simple."
"So, sir, what do you need us to do next?" Tong Zhan asked.
A good subordinate has to be like Tong Zhan, thinking about Su Qi'an's thoughts, worrying about Su Qi'an's worries, and knowing how to share his affairs.
Su Qi'an was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't do anything for the time being, don't move, before the Rong soldiers completely retreat, Lord Guo is at least still on our side."
"With his wisdom, he should know that the most important thing today is to deal with Rongbing, and as for after Mengzhou is completely recovered, I will find a time to have a good chat with this Lord Guo."
Tong Zhan nodded, retreated behind him again, and said nothing.
Now that Su Qi'an has made a decision, he will naturally not continue to interfere next.
On the second day of Su Qi'an's arrival in Mengzhou City, the news spread quickly, and the Rong *** team, which occupied the three military towns in Mengzhou in the north, responded as soon as possible.
First, he politely complimented him, and then sent a small envoy group of about a dozen people to go directly to Mengbei City.
The location of the negotiation between the two sides was set at Mengbei City, which is the four outer cities that protect Mengzhou, to the north of Mengzhou City.
This location, I have to say that Rongguo is bold, generally speaking, for the safety of both sides, the place of negotiation will definitely be chosen in a neutral place.
Like the two negotiations between Su Qi'an and Saktu, they were at a neutral point on the border called Xujiaji.
But the Rong *** team directly sent people to Mengbei City, which is really a place controlled by the Mengzhou army, but if there is a little caution, this envoy group of more than ten people will definitely be wiped out.
And what's even funnier is that this group of more than a dozen envoys did not have an army to protect the whole process, only a dozen of them dared to go to Mengbei City alone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are looking for death.
