Chapter 318 You Can Really Do It
Dugu Jian woke up from the shock and guilt, and said very attentively: "Oh, yes, I just received the latest one today, and it is said that the situation is a bit complicated."

"What's so complicated? The people who surround Yitu can be killed or persuaded to surrender? Could it be that they only have 100,000 people left and count them?" Shen Liuzhen asked lazily.

Unexpectedly, Dugujian sighed and said, "It's almost..."

Shen Liuzhen's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Dugujian in disbelief.

I only heard Dugujian say: "Recently it has snowed and the weather is extremely cold, many people died of freezing, and the Han people in three counties rebelled.

Coupled with the situation of using troops in the north and south, the hearts of the people in the court are unstable. It may be that they feel that His Majesty cannot pass this hurdle, so some Xianbei nobles secretly cooperated with them to make peace with them.

General Heng Jia explained that he had killed and divided more than [-] people, but he still failed to catch them.It has been encircled and suppressed, but there is no way to completely eradicate the Muheyi Party. "

Shen Liuzhen's hand was on the car window, with a serious expression on his face. After a long while, he slowly let go, and with his sleeves in his hands, he glanced coolly at Dugu Jian outside the car window, and said:

"Such an important matter, you didn't say it earlier."

The army often exchanged news, but Shen Liuzhen was a civil servant. Although he was sent by the emperor as an imperial envoy, he was still a role that had nothing to do with the military.He is only in charge of peace talks, and there is no reason for the general to report to him.

Therefore, the news from military newspapers from various places in the town of Ping Zhijun was told to him by General Dugu Jian after investigating.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jian wiped his numb face and said, "I was in a bad mood when I saw it this morning, and I didn't really want to mention it, but I forgot it later."

Shen Liuzhen squinted at him from the corner of his eyes, and said sternly: "Since this is the case, there is no point in procrastinating here. There is no way in the country to compete with Song Guo. Since the chaos is not too big, let's put this little boy first." The hole is completely plugged up, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

Tomorrow, the peace talks must be signed. You have to clarify the key points with others. No matter what I say tomorrow, don't object again. "

After all, without waiting for Dugujian to speak, Shen Liuzhen directly closed the door of the car window, cutting off Dugujian's line of sight, fully demonstrating his unquestionable determination.

……

When they met again in the huge tent, Princess Huaizhen still insisted on following her, but with the dignified air of the princess, she was obviously much colder and quieter than yesterday, as if she was specially trying to compete with someone It seems to come.

She didn't even pay attention to Shen Liuzhen's polite greeting.

Shen Liuzhen stood at the door of the tent for a while, then coughed again, taking a few breaths very weakly.

His appearance fell into Xie Yuan's eyes, and he couldn't help looking at him worriedly, feeling that he seemed to be even more lethargic than yesterday.

Shen Liuzhen put away the handkerchief, raised his eyes and smiled weakly at Xie Yuan, then walked to his seat and sat down.

After the two parties sat down, Shen Liuzhen straightened his wide sleeves and said:
"The weather is cold these few days, everyone is running back and forth... cough cough cough..." He coughed again as if he couldn't help it.

Now everyone could see that his illness was obviously serious again.

Sure enough, Shen Liuzhen smiled apologetically, and said mockingly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen's body is weak, and the wind and cold haven't recovered for a long time. It was heavy again yesterday, and I can't wear it down. Please raise your hands today, Just finish this errand here, so that I can go back to recuperate as soon as possible."

After all, he paused his eyes on Xie Yuan's face meaningfully, and Xie Yuan quickly lowered his eyes.

"Cough, cough... Shen has already drawn up the contract draft yesterday, please take a look at it." Shen Liuzhen waved at Liu Qinbing, and Liu Qinbing opened the bamboo tube he was carrying with him, pulled out a roll of paper, and left. In the past, both hands were given to Eunuch Hu's attendant.

The attendant gave the paper tube to Eunuch Hu again. Eunuch Hu opened it and took a look, cleared his throat with embarrassment, and handed it directly to Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan took it and carefully looked at the tail from the beginning. Danfeng raised his eyes. Because of Shen Liuzhen's sickness, his tone subconsciously softened a lot, and asked politely, "Since we promised to release the prisoners, why did we have to wait until next spring?"

Shen Liuzhen covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes were as bright as autumn water, with a kind light: "The weather in winter is cold, not suitable for long journeys, General Xie, think about it, since you are a soldier slave, you can't keep up with food and clothing. You have good intentions, but if they freeze to death on the way home, it won't pay off."

When Xie Yuan heard about it, she was shaken for a moment. She pursed her lips, her eyes flashed, and she said firmly:
"No! It's almost Chinese New Year. It's more important than anything else to reunite their families. They will be handed over in Pingzhijun Town. We will send people to meet them. Your country just hand over the people to us. Safety on the road is up to us." Take responsibility for yourself."

Shen Liuzhen hesitated for a moment, looked at Xie Yuan and coughed weakly twice, then took a breath as if tired, and said:

"Okay, do as you say."

"How many people?" Xie Yuan asked warily.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Dugujian, who rolled his eyes impatiently, and said, "Only 360 people were captured in the battle of Pingzhi Junzhen."

Xie Yuan frowned slightly. Although he knew that there could not be only a few soldiers in Pingzhi Junzhen, this battle was not many, and there were many before, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the State of Song didn't have enough reliance. It was just a truce and peace talks, not a surrender.

Just relying on Wei Guo's sturdy folk customs, it is already a rare harvest for them to agree to return the prisoners and apologize in the contract.

"Please include the number of people in the contract." Xie Yuan said seriously.

Shen Liuzhen said gently: "Okay...does General Xie have any comments on the list of items exchanged between the two countries?"

Xie Yuan took a look at the content about Song State’s use of food and agricultural tools in exchange for Wei State’s horse gear and leather. She didn’t know much about the value of these things, and she didn’t know whether they were equal or not. Fortunately, there were not many of them, just one Symbol of peace and friendship.

So he turned to ask the eunuch Hu next to him: "Eunuch Hu, do you think there is any problem?"

When Eunuch Hu heard this, he blinked and whispered to Xie Yuan: "...Your Majesty has ordered, as long as you look good."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan felt a faint feeling of shock in his heart, and he didn't let go of his frowning brows, but directly said to Shen Liuzhen decisively: "No more, let's do it this way."

Later, the contract was repaired again, signed and stamped in duplicate, and this errand was finally over.

The rest of the work will be done by the people below, and the two people who are in charge of negotiating naturally part ways.

Shen Liuzhen led the team to see Xie Yuan and the others off, it was rare for him to ride a horse and walk side by side with Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at Shen Liuzhen, and asked worriedly: "Is your illness better? Why don't you take a carriage, and there will be less wind."

Shen Liuzhen didn't speak, and smiled at her, the light in his eyes revealed a little cunning.

With just one glance, Xie Yuan understood that his sick and out of breath appearance yesterday was just a faux pas.

Xie Yuan's expression suddenly changed from worried to stunned, and then from stunned to angry. He nodded speechlessly, and murmured:
"You can do it."
