The two verses that Xing Luan read just now were the famous sentences of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wei Rui already understood after hearing it, Xing Luan in front of him was exactly what he thought, and he knew even better about the cruel consequences of the war than he did.

It seems that they can reach an agreement today, Wei Rui thought of this, he sighed happily: "Lord Xing, if it is really peaceful in the world and the border between the two countries is quiet, I don't know if you and I will have such an opportunity to sit together and talk." ”

Xing Luan smiled bitterly: "General Wei, I'm afraid that after the old man goes back, he will never have such an opportunity to sit with you------ after I go back to the emperor, I will naturally first sanction a defeated general like me and General Yuan, the old man is not afraid of anything, but he has suffered General Yuan, and his outstanding military exploits for more than ten years have been destroyed in this Zhongli City." ”

Wei Rui sighed softly: "The loyalty of the soldiers will last forever, the emperor's hegemony will be endless------ we will still be held in the hands of the emperors after all, what achievements, what merits, how many people can remember these hundreds of years later? How many people can write these? Those historical records are the great achievements of the emperors and generals, and we can only do that quicksand ------ in the long river of history."

Xing Luan was suddenly shocked by what Wei Rui said, he couldn't imagine that Wei Rui had seen the wars of the past dynasties so deeply and thoroughly, and he saw his future situation very lightly, the merits and demerits no longer existed in his eyes, such a state of mind, such a mind, how many things can be done in the world?

Xing Luan stood up and bowed respectfully: "General Wei, Xing Mouzhong was defeated by you when he left the city, not because our strategy was not as good as yours, but because none of us could see through this battle situation, and you are different, you have already seen through all of this early in the morning, how can we not lose based on this alone?"

"Lord Xing's words are serious, you and I are in the same situation, we are accompanied by the king, we can all figure out this, but Lord Xing disdains to be with those villains, and even more disdains to speculate on their dirty thoughts, Mingzhe is what we should do, so Lord Xing is not that he didn't see through it, but he disdains to see through these things, what I Wei said is accurate?"

Xing Luan nodded in admiration, he really disdained to reason with those insidious villains in the DPRK and China, what was the use of explaining the truth clearly? Those villains wanted to frame themselves out of nothing, but they could still make themselves unable to dodge.

"The hope of a truce between the two countries is on you and me at this time, General Wei, Xing should do his best to handle this matter well. ”

"All of this is with Lord Lao Xing. Wei Rui nodded.

"The sooner this is done, the better, General Wei, without further ado, I still have to hurry back and make some preparations. ”

"Lord Xing, Wei has another matter, and I want an answer from the adult. Wei Rui suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly asked.

"I don't know if Xing can help the general. Xing Luan also answered him politely.

"The poison in the second prince Xiao Zong's house is extremely strange, I wonder if Lord Xing can know how he was poisoned?" Wei Rui asked.

Xing Luan was stunned, the poison in Xiao Zong's house was extremely strange, he had always been very bored, this Xiao Dashuai had the same diet as them on weekdays, and no one else had ever been poisoned, the poison was violent, and it was recurring, which really gave him a headache.

"General Wei, I have investigated this matter for a long time, but there is no result, no one in our army will definitely not poison Xiao Dashuai, I think I am a Xianbei family, and I have always done things above board, so what we do is something we despise, how can we do it?" Xing Luan said solemnly.

"What kind of medicine do the second prince like to take?" Wei Rui reminded.

Xing Luan's face changed after hearing this: "When the general reminded me like this, I remembered that Xiao Dashuai often took some strange pills, I once asked the guards who followed him, and they told Xiao Dashuai that he got this pill from somewhere, and as subordinates, they didn't dare to ask more." Could it be ------"

"It seems that this can only be a headless case, no matter what, Lord Xing should not take it to heart, Wei just asked casually. Wei Rui smiled slightly, "I also hope that after Lord Xing goes back, he will discuss this matter with the emperor of your country, because the matter is urgent, Wei Mo will not keep the adult, and I will send Lord Xing out of the camp." ”

"Then Xing, thank you General Wei!"

Wei Rui stood at the door of the barracks, watching Xing Luan's team slowly walk away, at this time it had begun to snow in the sky, the snowflakes flying in the sky hit his face one by one, although the soldiers in the barracks have already put on winter clothes, but most of them are southerners, and they are extremely uncomfortable to come to this cold place, the doctor who accompanied the army has told him many times in the past few days, there are many frostbitten people among the soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people up and down, because of the cold There are not a few who have fallen down, Wei Rui thought of this, and his heart became more and more anxious, he looked forward to Xing Luan succeeding in one fell swoop, and the emperor would return south with the army, and he felt sorry for these soldiers who had left their hometownsAfter many years of fighting, they have elderly parents and young children in their family, and after so many years, I am afraid that those children have grown up, and after their fathers go back, I am afraid that they will no longer recognize their fathers------

Wei Rui looked up at the gray and snowy sky, who could know the desolation in his heart? He suddenly thought of Fan Jun, so he hurriedly turned his head and asked Li Zhong: "General Li, is Fan Jun still in Yongzhou at this time?"

"Yes, General, he is waiting for the General's orders. ”

Wei Rui looked at the snow falling heavier and heavier in front of him, and tears almost fell: "Pass my military order and order them to return to the camp quickly." ”

"Yes, General, I'll send someone to give orders. ”

Wei Rui saw that the heavy snow quickly spread a thick layer on the ground, he did not get into the carriage, but walked to Xiao Yan's big tent, Xiao Yan was not in his big tent at this time, he came to the small tent next to him, the tent was placed in Xiao Zong's coffin, since Xiao Zong died of poisoning, Xiao Yan put his body in the coffin, wanting to take him back to the capital.

The officials who followed him to the north, although there were many dissenting people, but they were forced by the majesty of the emperor to dare not speak out, and Xiao Yan became even more moody because of the death of his beloved son, so that the accompanying officials around him were cautiously guarded, afraid that the current emperor would one day cut off his own head if he saw that he was not pleasing to the eye.

When the eunuch accompanying Xiao Yan saw Wei Rui hurrying over, he knew that the Pingbei general must have something urgent, and hurriedly entered the account to report: "Your Majesty, General Wei is asking to see you outside." ”

Xiao Yan was unhappy in his heart, wherever he went, he reported the military situation, he had met with these generals a lot in the past six months, but he was a little disgusted, this Wei Rui was very smart, he rarely dangled in front of him, but once he appeared in front of him, then what he said had to be listened to even if he didn't listen. Presumably, after Wei Rui negotiated with Yuan Ke's messenger, there was already a result, and thinking of this, he had to order someone to bring Wei Rui in.

"Your Majesty, Wei has agreed to the emperor's conditions: you are not allowed to step into Daliang for half a step within three years, and the encroached states and counties will be returned. It is only when the final documents are served that the final decision can be made. Wei Rui replied in a low voice.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly: "If you can have this result, it will not be in vain." He turned around and asked in a low voice, "Why was Xiao Zong poisoned, didn't they talk about it?"

"I just asked Lord Xing Luan Xing about this, and he said that the diet of the second prince in Su Rili was the same as theirs, and there was no difference, and the most suspicious thing was that the second prince often took a pill, and they didn't know where this pill came from. Wei Rui hurriedly replied.

"What kind of pill is it?" Xiao Yan thought with his eyebrows lowered.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there is no way to investigate this matter, and the emperor is still mourning!" Wei Rui said cautiously.

Xiao Yan didn't speak, the saddest thing in his heart at this time was not that Xiao Zong committed suicide by taking poison in front of him, but that Xiao Zong was unwilling to admit that he was his father until he died, although Wu Shuyuan gave birth to Xiao Zong after seven months with him, but he never became disgusted with this mother and son, and he was very fond of Xiao Zong since he was a child, and he didn't care about those rumors, and the most unexpected thing for him was that Wu Shuyuan thought that she had lost her favor and was not favored since she believed in Buddhism and often became a monk, so she vented all her grievances on her son, often mentioned in front of Xiao Zong that he was Xiao Baojuan's son, which caused the tragedy of Xiao Zong's opening of the coffin and dripping blood to recognize his relatives, Xiao Yan sighed deeply when he thought of this, poor that young emperor and grandson, was killed by his father to drip blood to recognize his relatives, what a cruel and ruthless person can do it? Xiao Yan didn't feel it at this time, Xiao Zong, who killed his son and recognized his relatives, was crazy and cold-blooded at that time.

"Huaiwenna, I don't understand, is he Xiao Baojuan's son, how important is it? There are so many children, I only love him the most, I spend the most time with him, I spend the most time teaching him, and I have the greatest hope for him, but in the end, he is the prince who hates me the most------ what do I do, Zong'er will believe that I really love him. Xiao Yan said with tears in his eyes.

Wei Rui stood there silently, did not answer the emperor's words, he didn't dare to answer, but felt that it didn't matter what he said at this time, Xiao Zong was dead, how many evils he had done in the world, how many mistakes he had made, had disappeared with his death, and the emperor in front of him was giving him more love, what was the use? In the end, he couldn't get back Xiao Zong's father-son relationship.

At this time, the wind and snow outside were getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes continued to fly into the tent along the curtain, and the civil and military officials in the tent were all silent, they were just listening to what Xiao Yan said silently, and no one dared to speak easily.

"Huaiwen, if you receive a peace request from the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will set off immediately, and you will take Zong'er back ------ be buried well. Xiao Yan then thought that he had just talked too much, and those words were his own family affairs, and the less these ministers knew, the better.

Shen Yue, who had been silent after the "Emperor's ------" entered the tent, suddenly opened his mouth at this time, "The minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xiao Yan looked at him dissatisfiedly: "You have already spoken, what else should you not talk about, Lian can make peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty today, this is happy, you can just talk about it, and you will be forgiven for your innocence!"

Shen Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, now that the weather is getting worse and worse, and the weather is freezing cold, if you help the coffin to return to Beijing, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." ”

"He is Lian's son, Lian took him home, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan was angry when he heard this, "Today you will tell the reason to Lian, if you can't tell the reason, I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king." ”

Shen Yue fell to his knees with a thud, his gray beard trembled, it can be seen that the words in his heart have been held back for too long: "Your Majesty, you are dealing with the sins of the ministers today, the ministers have nothing to say, but the words that the ministers want to say are heartfelt words------ miss me Shen Yue, since the day I followed the emperor, this life has been handed over to the emperor, and there is no complaint when I take it to the ministers today, but the coffins of these two princes cannot be brought back to the capital------

"Why can't Lian bring his son back to Beijing?" Xiao Yan asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, the second prince that day, because he injured Princess Yongxing, and privately opened the coffin of the Marquis of Dongdu, and killed his own son, to do those inhumane things, this matter is in my Liang, that is has aroused the anger of the people, and the second prince is defected from my Liang, after he defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he led troops to the south several times, harassed my border people, killed my people------ his various practices, are already irrational, and the people of Daliang are not tolerated------ the emperor you have to think twice, if these people and the emperor do not care about the past, to accept back to Beijing, then the emperor's prestige in the eyes of the people, can ------ ”

"Shut up! You shut up!" Xiao Yan couldn't listen to it anymore when he heard this, he shouted, "Believe it or not, I can kill you now!"
