Chapter Eighty-Eight: Peace Talks
"Peace talks?" A trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of Zhong Zhengfu and the others, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to send soldiers to spread the news and ask for peace talks.
Inside the newly established barracks.
Another rush sounded.
"Report, the enemy spies asked for an audience. ”
Xu Zhiping frowned, what did he send someone to do on the other side?
"Let him in. Chen Yan rubbed his forehead, he didn't lie down and sleep for a few minutes before he had something to do.
I saw a soldier who had left the country walk in.
"Did they ask you to come and spread a word that threatened us to surrender. Xu Shiping sneered.
The soldier frowned, feeling that this person was full of hostility, and he didn't know how His Highness the Priest thought that he would want to make peace with them.
However, since the priest has spoken, he can only convey it truthfully.
"The general misunderstood, the oracle chief priest sent me to invite General Chen Yan to talk about peace before the battle. The soldier bowed his head.
"Peace talks?" Chen Yan felt as if he had heard a big joke.
Xu Shiping also looked incredulous, obviously his side was now at a disadvantage, and the oracle chief priest opposite actually proposed peace talks.
"You're sure. Chen Yan got up and asked.
The soldier said firmly: "I truthfully conveyed the words of His Highness the priest, and His Highness hopes that General Chen Yan will negotiate peace before the battle." ”
"Okay, tell His Highness the priest, I'll go right away. Chen Yan sneered, she was going to see what tricks this priest wanted to play, but as for the peace talks, she really didn't believe it.
"Yan'er, I'll go with you later, that priest is unfathomable, in case he wants to play yin, I'm afraid you will be in danger. Xu Shiping said worriedly.
"Good. Chen Yan nodded.
A moment later, Fang Yu stood on the city wall and vaguely saw a man and a woman on the opposite side leaving the camp tent and riding towards him.
"Come on, set up tents and tea tables in front of the battle. Fang Yu smiled, it's good to come, it shows that they are still a little sincere, at least there is room for negotiation.
As for war, it is natural that if it can be fought, it will not be fought.
Fang Yu and Zhong Zhengfu and Nian Junzhong rode out of the city.
"Presumably this is His Royal Highness the Great Priest. Xu Shiping arched his hand, the young man in front of him was very good-looking, and he was still clinging to a big black sword, and he couldn't see any aura realm, but it looked like it was very dangerous, and it seemed to be the rumored oracle great priest.
"It is this seat, Your Excellency is the young sect master of the Taihua Immortal Sect, Xu Shiping, he is really young and promising, and he has a dignified appearance. Fang Yu said with a smile, looking at the stunning girl next to him, her face was on par with Jing Zhiyao, so he said: "This is General Chen Yan Chen, I have heard your story for a long time, but it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows." ”
"It is here, His Royal Highness the Great Priest is polite. Chen Yan and Xu Shiping thanked each other, looking at the young man in front of them, they suddenly felt amiable, not like the rumored powerful great priest, but like those pleasing junior disciples in the sect.
Zhong Zhengfu didn't have a good look at the two people in front of him, and he didn't want to come, but he was worried that Fang Yu would sell him during the peace talks while he was away, so he followed him again.
Nian Junzhong said hello slightly.
Although Chen Yan and Xu Shiping guessed the identity of the person who was skimming their heads, they didn't care much, they just smiled lightly.
"It's windy and sandy outside, so I asked people to set up a tent in front of the city gate and set up a tea party, so it's better to go in and drink some tea, slowly. Fang Yu smiled and pointed to the tent in front of the city gate.
"His Royal Highness the Priest has a heart. ”
Several people entered the tent one after another.
Nian Junzhong sat at the table, became a tea boy, made a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "This is Lishan flower tea that is a specialty of Lishan, His Royal Highness the Priest, please." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
"Good tea, as sweet and delicious as the spiritual tea of Huashan. Xu Shiping took a sip.
Fang Yu also took a sip lightly: "Jun Zhong's tea art is good. ”
"Thank Your Highness for the compliment. ”
Chen Yan took the teacup in front of him and said with a smile: "Lord Priest is really polite, but I think you asked me over to taste this tea." ”
Fang Yu put down the teacup and chuckled: "You also know what I passed on to you, why bother asking again, I set up a tea banquet in front of the formation, naturally for peace talks." ”
Although the woman is a general, she still can't understand why the priest has an advantage, why does he want to negotiate peace? Chen Yan said, puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
Fang Yu shook his head: "I didn't help them, do you know what the duties of the Oracle Grand Priest are. ”
Xu Shiping immediately replied: "Inherit the oracle and protect the living beings, I have read it in ancient books, these are the words of the great priest of the ancient generations, is it Your Highness?"
Fang Yu nodded, "Yes, I didn't help anyone, I was just inheriting the oracle, protecting the living beings, and doing what a priest should do. ”
"Your Excellency is merciful. Chen Yan bowed slightly and said, "I thank you for the people." ”
"Beep-

The number of happy beans remaining is 310,000. ”
Seeing the success of the flicker, Fang Yu was slightly happy in his heart, and then took a sip of tea slightly, and said: "Now I came to Xiguan because of this, do you know what I saw all the way over?"
"What?"
"From the time I left Beijing to Xiguan, I was hungry all the way, mourning all over the wilderness, there were often people who changed their children and eaten, the people were displaced, and the suffering was unspeakable, this was all caused by the war, and the situation in Xijun must have only worsened. Fang Yu shook his head and sighed, although when he first left the capital, he was just running to complete the plot task quickly, but when he saw those displaced people, he now really wanted to end the war quickly and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Chen Yan held the teacup and lowered his head in contemplation, she has been fighting for the past few months, and most of the grain and grass behind her were donated by the villagers of Xijun, but now there is a drought in Xijun every year, and disasters are continuous, I am afraid that these grains are saved little by little by the villagers who are hungry, as well as those Xijun sons who died in battle.
Alas, the more Chen Yan thought about it, the more painful he became, he sighed, and the idea of ending the war quickly arose in his heart, the people of Xijun were too miserable, and they couldn't let them continue to bleed and die under this Xiguan, and they couldn't let the women of Xijun lose their husbands, and the children of Xijun would lose their fathers again.
But the end of the war and peace talks is too unideal, the war has been carried out to this point, if you want to end the war immediately, peace talks, there must be one side to make concessions, but she can't give in, the new army died so many people, left so much blood, even if she is willing to give in, the people of Xijun are probably not reconciled.
"The priest's reasoning, the people are really suffering, and the situation in Xijun is not very good. Chen Yan nodded.
"Then why continue the war, why continue to send innocent people to the battlefield and continue to displace people, can't it be stopped?" Fang Yu said in a fixed voice.
