After Shi Guangying left, King Jin asked the second prince with some puzzlement: "Since Zhang Bin has already gone to contact the Beiyi people, why do you want Mr. Lin to take this risk?"

The second prince smiled mysteriously and said, "Then the Beiyi people said that they wanted to give Shi Guangying a gift, aren't you curious, uncle? If this gift is very beneficial to Shi Guangying, will he still tell us? Besides, with Mr. Lin's skills, I don't think the Beiyi people have a way to embarrass him." ”

......

In fact, the second prince has his own mind.

After Zhang Bin came to inform them of the news of the Beiyi army coming to attack yesterday, the second prince really thought about leaving this place of right and wrong immediately.

But his bodyguard, Lin Zhaoyang, who is also his think tank, quietly told him that this is an excellent opportunity, if there is a war, the second prince can come to the front line as a prince, which can not only boost morale, but also have a good relationship with the soldiers on the front line.

Even if he doesn't win, he will leave a good impression on the emperor.

With his status as a prince, Shi Guangying would not put him in danger no matter what, and if he took 10,000 steps back, even if Cloud City couldn't resist, he would have a hundred ways to retreat.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoyang thought that the invasion of the Beiyi people was a golden opportunity for the second prince.

Now that the Beiyi people want to negotiate, it is even more important for the second prince to miss the opportunity.

He must not allow himself to stay out of the situation, and he must know the whole process of negotiations.

"By the way, uncle, how about interrogating that Beiyi assassin?"

King Jin shook his head and said, "This assassin only explained that their target was indeed the young man named Tian Zhiyu, as for why it was him, this assassin didn't understand. They were only given orders to take him alive and not to harm him, and he said that the order was given by Batu himself. ”

"This is very strange, I don't know what the origin of this Tian Zhiyu is," the second prince pondered for a moment and said, "Then the person asked for in Batu's letter to Shi Guangying could be this Tian Zhiyu?"

"Now it seems very likely," King Jin was a little annoyed, "I should have asked Shi Guangying about the origin of this young man just now, and see what magical powers he has." ”

"It's useless to think about this now, maybe you can understand something when you negotiate tomorrow, if this Tian Zhiyu really has any magical powers or secrets, it really can't be handed over to the Beiyi people. Not to mention anything else, his football level alone can make those fans in the capital crazy. I'm imagining how the royal relatives and dignitaries in the capital will be dumbfounded when they see his performance on the court?"

When King Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart......

The reason why he has been raising a football team for a long time is not only because of his hobby, but also because he knows too well the obsession of those bigwigs in the capital with football.

It is through the football team that he has maintained close ties with the bigwigs who hold absolute real power for a long time, so that he will not fade out of politics.

Now that a Tian Zhiyu has been born, he can completely disrupt his own business for many years.

King Jin will never allow such a thing to happen, this Tian Zhiyu will either be used by me or die.

......

......

Tian Zhiyu, who is in the center of the storm, has no self-knowledge at all, his daily life, in addition to practicing is practice, he will also imagine that he has become a peerless master, how to call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, and rely on the red and green.

He positioned his future development template as Linghu Chong, but as long as Linghu Chong is chic, don't make Hu Chong's infatuation.

And Ma Bencai has been really troublesome in the past two days, although Tian Zhiyu has repeatedly comforted him that he will be fine, he still sighed after a while. Muttering, not knowing what to say.

I trembled all day, and I didn't hear the sound of fighting until dinner, Ma Bencai was a little curious, and when the cell boss came to deliver the meal, he pulled people to ask about the situation outside.

The cell boss didn't want to pay attention to him, but he saw that Tian Zhiyu was also a little curious, so he said: "The 100,000 army has arrived fifteen miles in front of the city and has set up camp. However, I heard from them that the Beiyi Han sent a letter to our general, proposing to negotiate, saying that they were not here to fight, and that they would do business with our Dongyang through negotiations, and that they only needed to hand over one person to them, and they would withdraw their troops. The general said that he would negotiate with them tomorrow, but who knows how. I think the Beiyi army is just bluffing, and I don't want to see what our Cloud City is like. ”

After speaking, he left without waiting for Ma Bencai to ask again.

Ma Bencai and Tian Zhiyu were both a little stunned, and they came to Cloud City with 100,000 troops, just to negotiate trade, plus one person?

The people of Beiyi are not so idle, right......

"Unbelievable, unbelievable," Ma Bencai said: "Isn't it necessary to negotiate and send a few representatives, why do you need the Great Khan to come in person with the four banner lords? How can there be such a business? ”

"Maybe people are really here to talk about business, but they just show off their power by the way. Don't you say that this Great Khan is only eighteen years old, which is the age to show off. ”

"No, no, this Batu is not that kind of prodigal youth, he will never waste money because of showing off, do you know how many materials need to be consumed by the 100,000 army of laborers? Beiyi is not rich in the first place, they will definitely not do such a thing. ”

Ma Bencai's head shook like a rattle, "They must have some intentions, maybe the negotiation is just an excuse, then what do they want? Delay time?

Tian Zhiyu saw Ma Bencai's serious and thoughtful face, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Ma, you are a businessman who has been imprisoned for so long, or a businessman who has been imprisoned by Dongyang Kingdom for so long, are you so worried about Dongyang Kingdom?"

Ma Bencai said: "Brother Tian, you don't know, as a businessman, of course I want war, so that my medicinal herbs and weapons can be sold more." But I also hope that the two sides will not die or die, especially do not want an unusually powerful Beiyi, you must know that Beiyi is a place that is not educated, poetry, books, rituals and music are useless to them, once they are extremely powerful, they will definitely cause a catastrophe to the Dongyang Kingdom, at that time, how can the country be alone? People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, and people have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries. ”

Wu Lihan on the side has always been unaccustomed to seeing Ma Bencai, but he has not been too lazy to refute Ma Bencai's words, and at this time I heard him say that Beiyi is not educated, and Beiyi and Dongyi are of the same clan, saying that Beiyi is a place of absylentism, that is, talking about Dongyi in disguise.

As early as more than 100 years ago, Beiyi and Dongyi began to work hard to learn Chinese, and now almost all Yi people know Chinese and accept your Four Books and Five Classics. Although it is not as good as you have mastered, we have learned a lot from it. ”

Although Ulihan did not speak quickly, he fought back sonorously and powerfully......

"My master has always taught us, saying that every one of his apprentices should go to the Central Plains, in addition to communicating with the Central Plains martial arts people, but also to experience the Central Plains culture. On the contrary, many of you people in the Central Plains have always looked down on the Yi people, and not only are they unwilling to trade, but they often detain us Yi people for no reason. The reasons for many contradictions between the two sides are in the Central Plains. ”

Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, he had never seen Wu Lihan say so many words in one breath.

Seeing that Ullihan's face was a little excited, he thought that no matter where people are, they have a natural urge to defend their country and race.

Ma Bencai sneered and said: "Zi said, 'Yidi has a king, it is not as good as Zhuxia', you are learning Chinese, but you have only learned some appearances, and you are learning Chinese to facilitate the robbery of people in the Central Plains." Have you learned the slightest bit of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith in the Central Plains culture? No, you often loot the cities of the Central Plains for no reason, kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil. Have you learned the slightest thing about the monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons in the Central Plains culture? No, your kings and ministers often kill each other, and your wives and concubines often follow each other, and even follow their sons.

Wu Lihan tried his best to restrain his anger, but the blue tendons on his face showed that he was angry to the extreme, but thinking of Ma Bencai's words, these things do often happen in Beiyi and Dongyi, and he can't help but don't know how to refute it.

Tian Zhiyu saw Wu Lihan's embarrassment, and knew that he was not good at words, where could he be the opponent of the debate master Ma Bencai, so he quickly stood up and said: "Brother Wu Lihan, you dissipate your anger, Brother Ma, don't say it anymore, the two are originally because of different geographical locations, one is good at farming, the other is good at grazing, and they should have communicated with each other and got along well, and the war was because of historical reasons, and one day everyone will get along in harmony. ”

......

Ma Bencai wanted to continue talking, but seeing that Wu Lihan had regained his composure and stopped looking at him, he felt that it was not interesting to say anything more, so he gave Tian Zhiyu a face and sat down.

Tian Zhiyu thought of the words in the Analects mentioned in Ma Bencai's words just now, and couldn't help but be very curious, wondering if there is such a book in this world, if so, what about the others?

Is there a Four Books and Five Classics, is there a Tang and Song poems, and many other works? However, thinking that the sentence that Ma Bencai just quoted was indeed not very friendly to the Yi people, and now mentioning that he was afraid of hurting Wu Lihan's dignity again, Tian Zhiyu had to hold back and ask Ma Bencai for advice when he had the opportunity.

......

......

The next morning, the second prince came to Cloud City accompanied by King Jin and others.

Everyone quickly climbed the city tower, and the King of Jin had been in Taiyuan City for more than ten years, and he had experienced some wars of all sizes, so when he saw the Beiyi soldiers waiting outside the city, although he was nervous in his heart, his face remained calm.

And the second prince had only heard about the cruelty of war in books and other people's mouths, and at first glance he saw the people covering the sky and the sun in front of him, and his legs trembled involuntarily. Fortunately, everyone was watching outside the city, and no one noticed his predicament.

Shi Guangying pointed out to them which were the Great Khan's soldiers and horses, and which belonged to the four banners, and briefly introduced the arrangement of troops in Cloud City, pointing out how he would deal with the real war.

......

When it was almost noon, everyone sent Zhang Bin and Lin Zhaoyang out of the city gate, and in order to prevent accidents, Shi Guangying chose two battalion divisions with the best kung fu to accompany them.

The four men rode unhurriedly towards the middle of the two armies.

Not long after they walked, they saw four horses from the Beiyi Central Army also coming out and walking towards them.

When the two sides were less than ten meters apart, they stopped, and in the middle was an open space that could be used as a venue for negotiations.

After both sides dismounted, they walked towards each other very tacitly.

The four people from Beiyi, three of them showed their faces, all of them looked like Beiyi people, and only one person was masked, his figure was much thinner than the other three Beiyi people, but he walked in front of the three of them, and he was obviously the core figure of these four people.

He walked up to Zhang Bin and slowly took off his hood, revealing the face of a person from the Central Plains, with a smile on his face all the time, as if he wanted to see surprise in their eyes when he looked at Zhang Bin and them.

Zhang Bin was indeed surprised, he didn't expect that it was a Central Plains person who helped Beiyi negotiate.

However, he also knew that since ancient times, many unsatisfactory scholars in the Central Plains, after they could not find a good way out, would join the Yi people, and rely on giving advice to the Yi people to make a living.

However, the Yi people generally rarely reuse such Central Plains people, and the concept of the Yi people probably also has the concept of "not my race, its heart must be different".

The man smiled and nodded, and said, "On behalf of the Great Khan of Beiyi, the Four Great Banner Lords, and the 100,000 soldiers of Beiyi, I would like to say hello to the representatives of Dongyang Kingdom. ”

Zhang Bin also nodded in response.

The man continued: "I think you must have already understood the letter sent by the Great Khan to the commander of Shi Guangying in Cloud City yesterday, I don't know what the commander of Shi Guangying means?"

Zhang Bin said: "Regarding mutual market business, Dongyang and Beiyi have a history of hundreds of years. This is good for both sides, but many of our Dongyang merchants went to Beiyi to do business, but they were repeatedly killed and sold by your people on the way, and the Beiyi army often ran to our Dongyang country to burn, kill and loot, which seriously affected the trust between our two countries. I think that part of the responsibility lies with your country. ”

The man was still smiling, and said, "If you want to hold the past accountable, it's a long story." Not to mention anything else, the merchants of the Central Plains have always been treacherous and greedy, and the goods sold to Beiyi are shoddy, not to mention, they often deceive the simplicity of our girls, and they are abducted to your Dongyang, even the married women are not spared, these must be known to you. ”

He saw what Zhang Bin was going to say, raised his hand and made a gesture to stop him, and then said: "But these are all things in the past, and there is no point in pursuing it further." In line with the principle of mutual exchange and the principle of mutual benefit, our Great Khan still hopes that peace will be valued on both sides. Peace will have its place, and war will be a defeat for both sides. ”

Zhang Bin nodded, he also knew that if there was really a peaceful mutual market, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages for Dongyang.

Dongyang lacks good war horses, and in the past, a large number of good horses were purchased from Beiyi every year, and in addition, Dongyang's surplus crops were traded to Beiyi, which was also beneficial to Dongyang's farmers.

"I agree with this, but for the two sides to have a peaceful mutual market, more detailed negotiations are needed, and provisions that are binding on both sides. ”

"Of course, today's meeting between you and me is only a preliminary intention, and I'm afraid that the formal negotiation will not be enough for the two of us. ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and then said: "Your Great Khan's letter also said that you want someone, what kind of person is it?"
