Chapter Seventy-Six: The "Negotiation" at the Afternoon Gate (I)
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the three days, whether it was the Volunteer Army or the Chuang Wang Army, they were in full swing to arrange the big battle in three days, but both sides had a tacit understanding to block the news, and the news of the war was only circulated among the high-level that the two sides could absolutely trust, and ordinary soldiers didn't know the news at all!
In the past three days, the two sides still tacitly did not stop the clashes between the soldiers of the two sides, and from time to time a clash broke out in the streets and alleys of the capital! Most of them were well-trained volunteers who had the upper hand!
However, under the initiative of the high-level of both sides, although hundreds of conflicts break out every day, most of them are only small conflicts with dozens of people, and conflicts with more than 100 people have not broken out once!
Of course, under the strict order, there were many injured people on both sides, and even many people were disabled, but no one died, so although the whole capital was full of gunpowder and both sides were fighting hard, they still maintained relative peace!
In this case, the two sides spent three days smoothly, and finally arrived on the day of negotiation agreed by both parties!
In three days, the sappers in the volunteers had already built a simple shed outside the noon gate to negotiate between the two sides, of course, in three days, whether it was the volunteers or the king army, there were people who kept staring at the noon gate day and night to avoid someone setting up an ambush in the negotiation place!
Although Wang Quan himself is not afraid, the vast majority of the officers under his command are elites who graduated from the academy, and since the academy is not large, the number of these elites is limited, so he can't afford to lose!
Not to mention the high-level of the Chuang Wang Army, they don't want to be plotted during the negotiations, they are one step away from becoming famous, prosperous and wealthy, and it is a great loss to die here!
At about the end of the day, when it was about to reach noon, the noon gate of the Forbidden City opened, and Wang Quan, Li Yan walked out of the Forbidden City with several staff officers from the Volunteer Army Staff Department and walked towards the shed built in advance!
Not long after Wang Quan and the others sat down, the people on the side of Wang Jun's army each rode a horse and walked towards the noon gate!
Among the people behind Li Zicheng, most of them were people who were in the lobby together three days ago, but people like Tian Jianxiu and He Jin who were good at fighting did not appear, instead of a strong man riding a yellow horse, with a full beard, bright eyes, and a round waist, it was Li Zicheng's personal army commander who brought the letter of royal power into the lobby that day!
Behind several high-ranking members of the Chuang Wang Army, there are also dozens of guards wearing unified guard armor, speaking of which, Li Zicheng's personal guard can be said to be the only team with unified armor in the entire Chuang Wang Army!
Seeing Li Zicheng and others coming over, Wang Quan immediately took the high-level volunteers behind him to get up and laughed: "Hahahaha, King Chuang, Wang represents the 100,000 volunteer soldiers under his command, welcome King Chuang!"
Li Zicheng saw that Wang Quan led someone to greet him, immediately reined in the horse, turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the guards who met him, hugged his fist at Wang Quan, and said: "Wang Fuhrer, today, your complexion is much better than when we met that day!"
Wang Quan waved his hand and said: "Be polite, you also know that King Chuang is a person who practices martial arts, and his health has always been good, probably because the last time we met was at night, the sky was not very good, and my body has always been very good!
Li Zicheng was angry in his heart, he naturally heard the meaning of Wang Quan, in the conflict between the Chuang Wang Army and the Volunteer Army in the past few days, the Chuang Wang Army was almost the one who suffered, therefore, he lost his temper many times, and Wang Quan's words were using this matter to stimulate himself!
Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "Don't bother the head of the king, this king's body is also very good!"
The corners of Wang Quan's mouth raised, and he also walked towards the negotiation table with the high-level leaders of the volunteers!
According to the agreement, Li Zicheng sat on the east side of the table with the high-level of the Chuang Wang Army, and Wang Quan sat on the west side of the table with the high-level of the volunteers, and the two sides sat one-on-one!
After the two sides sat down, Li Zicheng immediately spoke first: "Fuhrer Wang, this king is a rough man, and he has never liked the sour anger of literati, so we don't have to learn from their greetings, just get straight to the point, and say directly, Fuhrer Wang, how are you going to distribute this capital?"
When Wang Quan heard this, he immediately said: "Since you asked, then Wang is not welcome, Wang believes that this capital is a whole, if it is like now, you and I occupy half of each, you have also seen it, even if we suppress it with all our might, we can't avoid the soldiers under our command from clashing for some reasons, in this way, whether it is for our volunteers, or your Chuang Wang army, or even for the entire capital and the people in the city, what do you think?"
Hearing Wang Quan's words, the high-level leaders of the Chuang Wang Army sneered in their hearts, they are not very old, but their ambitions are not small, they don't think that Wang Quan said this in order to give them half of the capital occupied by their volunteers, as well as the entire Forbidden City, so the meaning of Wang Quan is already obvious, it is a high-sounding reason to monopolize the entire capital!
However, Li Zicheng has not spoken yet, so they naturally will not take the initiative to speak, so although they sneered in their hearts, they will not speak in front of Li Zicheng on this occasion!
Although Li Zicheng may not have as many eyes as Niu Jinxing and others, but he can get to this point, naturally he is not lacking in heart, on the contrary, he is not only not the kind of rough person he says in his mouth, but a person with a very delicate mind, the meaning of Wang Quan's words, Li Zicheng knows very well!
I only heard Li Zicheng say: "Does the Wang Fuhrer mean that I want to break into the Wang Army and give you half of the capital that I have worked so hard to defeat to your volunteers? It is a good idea for the Wang Yuan to fight, but why should I make a sacrifice in the Wang Army, not your Volunteer Army?"
Wang Quan immediately said: "King Chuang, it's not interesting for you to say that, for the entire capital, you and I do occupy half of each, but the more important Forbidden City, but my volunteers completely occupy it, and the most important thing is that the Ming Emperor has proposed to surrender to my volunteers, so not only this capital, even the whole world, should belong to my volunteers!"
