Chapter 551: Meeting between the two countries
Song Che lived in Dadan City for two days, and while recuperating, he purchased melon and fruit seeds by the way, but there was still no news of "Huohuan Cloth".
In order to save their lives, they stayed in Dadan City for one night, and left the next day, saying that they were going west, and the resentment of the country there against the Hu people may not be so deep.
Therefore, the country is disgusting, and the people are pitiful.
The day after Song Che's letter was sent, Hui Hui responded by agreeing to a discussion and meeting between the "leaders" of the two sides.
For this reason, Song Che specially found a small village on the border between the two countries as a place to talk.
Since it was the two lords of the two countries who were talking, both sides were afraid of accidents, so they sent troops to step on the point early.
By the time Song Che arrived at the meeting site, the two armies, numbering more than 5,000 men, had surrounded the small village, and both sides were tense and the slightest bit of conflict could erupt.
Alas...... Why are two fraternal countries in dire straits?
"It's been a long time, my brother Wang, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, is life too hard? And your soldiers, why are they all in a state of low spirits, is it because there is no salt to eat? "King Shamir of the Hui Dynasty was a taunt at the head.
Not to be outdone, Sha Kuiwen sneered: "What's the use of being strong? Look at the weapons and armor in the hands of my soldiers, but they are all forged from good steel and iron, and if you really want to fight, one can beat the three of you. β
"Okay, you and I have the army today, how about we touch it?"
"That's what I mean!"
"Oops...... Your Majesty, peace is the most important thing in everything, and the purpose of our current conversation is to seek peace for the people of the two countries. Song Che was sandwiched in the middle, playing a round field left and right.
Shamir snorted coldly: "Only when we can talk about peace can we talk, and only war if we can't talk about it." β
Sha Kuiwen disdainful: "If it weren't for the face of the Liang envoy today, I wouldn't have talked to you!" β
"Speaking of the messenger of the Great Liang," Shamir returned the text to Song Che, and said: "Mr. Song, you should visit us first to return to the country, our country is rich and strong, and the food is more salty, more suitable for you to live in peace, after this meeting, you can come to us to return to the country!" β
Sha Kuiwen dragged Song Che back to his side: "The envoy visited us first, which shows that the emperor of the Celestial Empire prefers to befriend us Dadan!" β
Shamir smiled coldly: "The Great Liang Dynasty, the land is vast, what do you want your broken copper and iron to do?" β
"Shamir, do you want to try the sharpness of my sword!"
"Mine is not bad either!"
Alas!
"I'm so hungry!" Song Che rubbed his stomach and shouted.
The monarchs of the two countries were stunned for a moment, and then they each put away their swords, and Shamir pulled Song Che and said, "Let's go, Mr. Song, I have carefully prepared a roasted camel for you!" β
"The wine was prepared by me, and you have appreciated it before."
"How can wine be as good as roasted camels?"
"Don't drink my wine later!"
"I'm afraid of poison!"
"You just put poison in your camel meat!"
These two brothers should have had a good relationship before, right? It's not so much a quarrel as it's a bickering.
The two kings and Song Che sat cross-legged in turn.
"Mr. Song, this knife for cutting camel meat was made by us, I hope you can use it well." Sha Quivan handed the knife.
Shamir took out a pair of chopsticks, "Don't you know that Mr. Song is from Liang?" The Liang people eat with chopsticks and bowls. β
"Okay, two majesty, cut the meat with a knife, put it in a bowl, and then eat it with chopsticks, whether it is a knife or a bowl and chopsticks, there is no conflict,"
Song Che went directly to the topic, so as not to have any more disputes between the two, he said: "Today, Song Mou set up this symposium, the purpose is to let the two countries strike a truce and coexist peacefully, of course, there must be a reason for this, the two Majesties should think carefully, after all, this is a big issue related to the survival of the people,"
He slowly gestured with his finger to the word "one" and said:
"The first reason not to fight, whether it is Hui Hui or Dadan, they are all split from the 'Hui He', you are brothers of the same clan and clan, if war breaks out, won't it be fratricidal?"
Play an emotional card first!
Sha Quivan threw away the camel meat in his hand, "Hmph, I treat them as brothers, but what about them? Knowing that salt is a necessity, he no longer supplies it, what kind of brother is this? β
Shamir said, "But we really don't need your steel, what are we spending money on for nothing?" Besides, I am the eldest prince, and the throne of Huihe should have been inherited by me, but it was all Sha Kuiwen's ambition to tear the country in half! β
"You talk nonsense!" Sha Kuiwen shouted: "When the country moved, the people of the various tribes in Dadan voluntarily followed me!" β
Shamir smiled coldly: "Yes, they have followed you so stupidly that they can only rely on hard work to strike iron, but if you follow me, you only need to transport the water in Lop Nur and dry it into salt, and you can have enough food and clothing." β
Sha Quivan clenched his fists, powerless to refute. It is true that selling salt is a richer life than striking iron.
This emotional card, useless!
Song Che hurriedly gestured out the second finger and raised the volume:
"The second reason for not fighting is particularly important, but before I talk about it, I would like to ask first, how many troops do the two Majesties have?"
Sha Quivan said: "We have 30,000 cavalry! There are also 30,000 young adults! They are all blacksmiths, and some of them have strength! β
Shamir said, "We have 40,000 cavalry!" Young adults are no less than you! And we have abundant grain and grass, strong horses, and higher combat effectiveness! β
"Hmph, it's just a bunch of paper tigers that don't like it."
"I can't stand your arrogance anymoreβ"
"What about the Hu army?"
Song Che said softly, and immediately made the two kings hold back the anger in their hearts, and then fell into deep thought.
Song Che said again: "There is a saying in Daliang called 'snipe and clam compete for fishermen's profit', the salt of the Hui country and the iron of the Da Dan country are all fragrant and sweet food that must be fought for." The ambition and combat effectiveness of the Hu people, the two kings must be very clear, even the Great Liang Dynasty ceded Xiliang under their iron hooves, let alone you?
If the only tens of thousands of cavalry in the two countries are exhausted in this internal strife, I am afraid that when the Hu army comes, you will be forced to move again. β
The second card, the contradictory card, has already taken effect!
