The chief negotiator on the Shaodian side was Zisi, an eighty-year-old minister who roared to end the first day of negotiations between the five nations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Meng is the first crime, and it is extremely heinous that one state should be compensated to our country, and Cao and Qi should each pay one county, otherwise none of you in Nannuma Prefecture will want to return to China. Zisi dropped a sentence and left the chamber.

After Shaodian Dan knew this, he smiled lightly: "Hehe, the Three Kingdoms want to find out our bottom line, and the prince should deal with it properly, and if they dare to open their mouths, we will ask for a more ruthless price." The herald ordered the Nannuma Prefecture Theater to find a way to arrest more people with status, and the commanders of the various legions were careful not to fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

The news of the negotiations in Zhenjing City quickly reached Ding Kui's ears, because he and his subordinates were temporarily assigned to protect the headquarters of the Legion, and they were around Gu Jun, Lianggong and others all day long, and he only knew the latest news delivered among the high-level people.

"Xiao Ding, come. Liang Gong beckoned to Ding Kui, "Tell me when the negotiations in Zhenjing City will be over." "His recent military affairs have been much easier, and he still has time to chat with Ding Kui.

If you have nothing to do, you want to come to the school to take the exam, these old men are really idle.

Ding Kui was very helpless, although he was one year older, he was only nineteen, and he was the youngest in the headquarters of the 21st Army.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, I think that the five-nation negotiations will be concluded in half a month. ”

"Well, how did you arrive at this answer?" Liang Gong looked at Ding Kui with interest.

"He had fought on the Tongyuan River with his own navy, and he knew a little about the situation on the water, and the enemy army would have a hard time dealing with his own navy, and the fleet under the command of Hua Da was still growing, and within half a month, whether it was in the south or north, at least one way would advance by land and water, threatening the water village occupied by the enemy. ”

Yanling County and Jinping County each have a water village still in the hands of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which is the support point for Meng Cao's water army to compete with Shaodian's own water army, once these two water villages are lost, the control of the west side of the Tongyuan River will fall into the hands of Shaodian and his own country.

"Hehe, yes, the analysis makes sense. I heard that you now have a large warship, and you are the only one of the 100 captains in the legion, and you also train your subordinates in the ability to fight in the water, how do you let other colleagues learn from you?"

Liang Gong has led a lot of soldiers, but there are not many like Ding Kui who can bring him new things.

"Well, it's all because the lowly subordinates are too good, they have the ability to learn a variety of tactics, and Ding Yu has a lot of relevant experience, so it would be a pity if the lowly subordinates didn't make good use of it. Ding Kui didn't expect Liang Gong to ask this question.

"It's a good thing to say, if you have an advantage, you should play it, and it's a pity not to take advantage of it. Gu Jun was also attracted by Ding Kui's words, "The battle is no longer suitable for small forces to infiltrate and fight, but to prevent the enemy from making crazy moves, let the first brigade come to guard the headquarters, you have a lot of complaints in your heart, right?"

"I dare not dare to be humble, but it is the honor of my humble duty to have the opportunity to protect you. "Ding Kui didn't dare to say it directly if he complained.

"At the beginning, if the enemy army first found their own navy, they would have desperately reinforced, even if they lost Nanqiu County, they would not give up the water village, I have to say that your royal gold medal arrow was used very decisively, from this point alone, you are quite a general, and you will be able to be promoted to the commander of the division for another two years. Gu Jun made a rare promise in front of his subordinates.

"The humble position should not be praised by the commander-in-chief, and the reason why there is today's harvest depends on the support of Lord Zhang and all the adults, and the appreciation of the commander-in-chief is the first place. ”

Don't get tired of saying good things, Ding Kui understands this reason.

"Of course, Zhang Jie has merit, and the chief of staff also has merit, but I really can't talk about merit. The legion now has the reputation of being elite, half of it is made by you, and the other half is the false name of my dominating knights. ”

With Gu Jun's qualifications, it is very difficult to move up the position, in addition to gaining the approval of the bigwigs above, he must also get the support of his colleagues in the army, so the relationship with Ding Kui cannot be bad, and there is no need to slap Ding Kui but definitely not offend.

"Lord Commander, can't I ask you a question?" Ding Kui saw that everyone was in a good mood, and he became bolder.

"Yes, just ask questions. ”

"Where will our legions go after this battle, and will the new legions be disbanded?"

The twenty legions before the Shaodian Kingdom all had corresponding garrisons, and although there were frequent reversions, the number of legions stationed in each state remained basically the same.

A regular corps also spends a lot of money in peacetime, and the new 21st and 22nd legions will be a great burden on the state regardless of which state it is sent to.

Gu Jun and Lianggong glanced at each other, and there was a clear look in their eyes, and the vision of the children of the Ding family was really not low.

Liang Gong replied for Gu Jun: "This question, even the commander may not be able to answer you, supporting a hundred thousand regular troops is not a small amount, it costs millions of gold coins every year, and at least one state's financial resources can bear it." In view of the fact that the new establishment of the legion should not be disbanded so soon, the choice of the location of the 21st legion ultimately depends on the king's intentions. ”

"Millions of gold coins every year! The Kong family is very rich, and they can make a Kong family army casually. Ding Kui smacked his tongue.

"As soon as the war is over, the Kong family army will be disbanded immediately, and the state pastor will vigorously support the Kong family, reduce or reduce certain taxes, arrange for some soldiers to serve after the war, and so on. The Kong family, which has thousands of years of archduke inheritance, is also quite difficult to support a legion, and the vitality of the Kong family has been greatly damaged after this battle, and it is not as casual as you see. Gu Jun explained to Ding Kui.

Millions of gold coins, your sister, the money I have earned over the years is only enough for a regular army for a year, no wonder our Ding family is so poor and has no territory, my family will be rich and the king's ass will not be able to sit steadily.

Ding Kui vaguely guessed something, with the Ding family's prestige in the military and rich financial resources, it would pose a threat to the royal power, and no king would want to see it.

"If you want to have a future in the military, you can't make money, and such a state system can ensure national security. "He doesn't look at it from the perspective of an average subject.

"Is there also a lowly position, can there be a few more pro-soldiers? Ding Yu's quota was exchanged for the right to remove obstacles from the lowly position. ”

"Of course you can, but there can't be more than four including Ding Yu, and your Lord Zhang is only a small team of personal soldiers, so you can't have more than him." Gu Jun smiled.

The general captain will not be as extravagant as having a personal soldier, and a few with a deep background will have two or three, and the military law stipulates that there cannot be more than three. The obstacle removal rights used by Ding Kui were always in place until he was discharged from the army, so he could have up to four pro-soldiers.

"Four is four, and you can afford to raise a lowly position, but you can't raise a legion. "Ding Kui is not greedy, he can have as many as he can.

"Hehe, I envy you, if you can let Ding Yu give me ten personal soldiers to exchange with you, it's no problem. "Gu Jun is really red-eyed, and the commanders of the twenty-two legions in the country do not have a great martial artist as a personal soldier.

Ao Yu, who was standing outside the tent, frowned, and his heart must have been spraying Gu Jun wildly, "You are a small human being, you dare to let Young Master Long be your own soldier."

The fighting in Nannuma Prefecture has not stopped, but the scale of the fighting has become smaller, and the top brass of both sides know that the five countries are negotiating. The war has been fought for nearly three years, and the soldiers and men on both sides have developed a little war-weariness, and it is the wish of both sides to end the war with dignity.

Except, of course, your own country.

Zhenjing City Council Chamber.

After several days of quarrelling, the representatives of Meng Cao Qi revised the plan several times, but this time they made a big concession, proposing to retain only the right to occupy the two water villages, and the forces of the three countries would not take away or destroy anything in the area they were currently occupied.

"No! You invaded our country, killed and injured nearly 10 million Shaodian citizens, and more than 10 cities were seriously damaged. The angry Zisi lowered his voice quite a bit this time.

In the palace, the king said to his secret spy leader: "Tell Duke Zisi to let the Three Kingdoms Alliance leave our prisoners of war behind, and they are not allowed to take anything from Shaodian Kingdom, and their prisoners of war can only be ransomed with money, this is the bottom line of Lonely!"

Shao Dian Dan drew a red line for the negotiations, and it can be said that he made the greatest concession in order to end the war as soon as possible. Shaodian was beaten by the Three Kingdoms for no reason, lost two and a half counties of land at most, tens of millions of people were displaced, and more than one million troops were used to fight for nearly three years, spending countless military funds, even if it was 200 million gold coins, it was difficult to make up for the pain suffered by Shaodian State.

The Three Kingdoms of Meng, Cao and Qi also used more than one million troops and spent more than 100 million in military resources, but they plundered a lot of property in the cities and counties they occupied, both official and civil, and generally speaking, they still made money.

As Ding Kui expected, the negotiations went on until the 15th, and the five countries finally reached a consensus.

On the basis of the king's red line, Zisi won a symbolic payment of 100,000 gold coins from Cao and Qi as compensation, while Meng Guo bit the fleet transporting war horses to death was attacked by Shaodian State and refused to make any verbal concessions.

This war, which began with the Mongol army's attack on Juyangcheng on November 17, 4871, ended the battle on November 10, 4874, just a few days away and lasted three years, and the Shaodian State, the Ji State, the Meng State, the Cao State and the Qi State together invested nearly three million troops, which was a rare large-scale war in the history of the Five Kingdoms.

During the war, several outstanding commanders or staff officers at the theater level emerged, such as Helianyu, Jin Man, and Jiang Zhi, among whom Helianyu and Jiang Zhi were only in their twenties and became rising stars in the armies of the two countries.

Many young officers also performed well in the war, and the most praised in Shaodian was none other than Ding Kui, who was elusive in several wars and won the reputation of "Flying General".

After the news of the end of the negotiations came, Ding Kui led the first brigade to return to Nanqiu County, and the task of the 201st Division stationed in Nanqiu County remained unchanged before receiving the new order, taking over the responsibilities of the 120th Division before the war.
