The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 486 Chapter 470 Eight: Talking about peace, the old king blackmailed Tianzhu
Back at the camp, the old king was very happy now. Knowing that so many people died in Tianzhu, the old king hummed a little song excitedly.

Time was running out, and the old king excitedly decided to hold another celebration banquet, inviting serf owners, big and small, to eat and drink together. Everyone knew that Tupan Kingdom had won a big victory in the past two days, and the war might end soon.

Everyone's face showed the joy of victory!

Everyone ate and drank wildly for a while, and the banquet didn't dissipate until the middle of the night.

The next morning, the old king continued his banquet, and all the people came again.

At the banquet, a big serf owner looked at the old king and asked: "Your Majesty, you see that we have won a great victory this time, why don't we go back with our teachers?

What's the point of staying here? "

The old king laughed out loud.

"Go back like this! Isn't that too cheap for them!
This has always been the indemnity for the defeated country to cede land. If they were defeated and did not give our country some losses, do you think this confession will pass!
Alright, you can stay here with me as a soldier for a few days!If you get the benefits, everyone will get some benefits.

Otherwise, wouldn't we die so many people in vain!

snort!They think so beautifully!As long as we gather an army on this border, we are not afraid that they will not come to make peace! "

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what the old king was thinking!

Everyone applauded in unison!Who doesn't want to get some benefits in this offensive battle?

When the banquet was over, the old king said with a smile: "The five little heroes of the Sui Kingdom helped us. This is not for nothing. The lonely king promised each of them to give them 40 yuan of gold bricks. I won't help you!

In this battle, they thought of attacking each other with fire, and you all saw how brilliantly we won. If we won the battle, can we stop giving them something?
If we go back like this, it is obvious that we have won the battle, but these losses will have to fall on everyone in the end!

This time we are marching on the border, if Tianzhu doesn't send people to make peace, let's rob them of a few cities to make money, I don't want them to be so cheap! "

Duan Wuji and the others listened expressionlessly, without saying anything.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to their tents to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, Tianzhu sent envoys to make peace.

The leader of the team was none other than the eldest prince of Tianzhu.

There are at least dozens of people in Tupantong who follow behind!

These people came to the gate of the Tupan people's camp, bowed their heads and begged to see the king of the Tupan country.

When the guard guarding the gate saw him, he immediately ran in to report!

The old king was very happy when he heard that.

"Hmm! This is really what you want!

come!Beat the drums and gather the generals, and let those Tianzhu people come in after a while. "

With the sound of the Santong Jujiang drum, all the serf owners, large and small, from Tupan came rushing over with their armor shining.

Everyone had a scimitar across their waists, and they all stood on both sides with majestic expressions, and the atmosphere in the entire tent suddenly became tense.

Everyone also knows that that day Zhu sent a mission to negotiate peace.

Everyone knows that now is the time to put on a show of prestige.

The old king said in a low voice: "Hurry up and get our warriors to stand in line with their weapons. Let's show them off first. Otherwise, can these boys be honest."

After the warriors lined up outside, these serf owners, big and small, stepped in again majestically.

When the old king saw that everything was ready, he ordered loudly: "Tell those Tianzhu people to come in and tell them to come in!"

Seeing that Duan Wuji and his brothers did not come, the old prince quickly ordered the eldest prince to invite the five of them over.

These five brothers are meditating and practicing in the big tent, the eldest prince stepped forward to invite them to come.

"Friends from the Han family, let's go, now that the mission from Tianzhu is here, you should join in the fun too!

My father asked me to come and invite you to come.Let's go, let's hurry over! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"What does the arrival of the mission from Tianzhu have to do with us?

We didn't have much use in the past either! "

After hearing this, the eldest prince stretched out his hand to grab Duan Wuji's hand and said: "Let's go, those who are useful or not, go there, otherwise my father will say that I am useless, and I can't even do such a small thing well."

Duan Wuji stood up and said to his brothers: "If this is the case, then let's go.

Let's go, let's go and watch the excitement too! "

Several people followed the eldest prince into the big tent, seeing that today's atmosphere was quite different from the past, and the whole big tent was filled with a majestic atmosphere.

A few people didn't care about this, they followed the eldest prince into the big tent carelessly, and stood down next to the old king.

In a short time, dozens of members of the mission from Tianzhu Kingdom walked in tremblingly. These people did not have the demeanor of a big country, and they all knelt down as soon as they entered the big tent.

"The envoys of Tianzhu Kingdom pay homage to His Majesty, and wish His Majesty a long life."

The old king was very happy when he saw it, and he was so happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw these people like the bastards!

The old king pretended to ask: "Your emissary, you are no longer staying in Tianzhu, what are you doing in our country?"

One of them, an old man in his fifties, smiled wryly after hearing this: "Your Majesty, haven't there been some misunderstandings between our two countries in the past two days!
We came here to repair the relationship between our two countries!
My Majesty the King has been in poor health recently. Several rebels in the court took advantage of His Majesty's absence to launch such a small war against your country, which caused great harm to our personnel!

After His Majesty heard the news, he immediately killed those treacherous villains.

His Majesty the King is willing to compensate your country for some losses and rebuild the friendly relations between our two countries. "

With that said, the old man handed over a gift list.

The old king ordered someone to take the gift list and look down.

Ho!This gift was too heavy, and it said 10 pieces of cloth, [-] good horses, [-] carts of rice, [-] taels of silver, [-] carts of tea, and [-] beauties.

After watching for a long time, the old king gave the gift list to the eldest prince again.

The eldest prince glanced at it without saying a word, and handed back the gift list again!

The eldest prince said to his father in a low voice: "Father, why don't you show this gift list to these little brothers from the Han family and let them give us some advice?"

The old king's face sank when he heard this!
"Nonsense, can they understand this gift list?
Only you can come up with this bad idea. "

The eldest prince smiled awkwardly!
"What's the point of this! I can translate it to them in Chinese later, won't it be enough!"

"Well, this one is about the same. Tell them, I plan to triple the amount on this gift list, and you can ask them if it's okay!"

"Oh, I see."

The eldest prince pulled them aside, and whispered the gift list to Duan Wuji and the others.

Duan Wuji smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Eldest prince, what is the deal with this list of peace talks? Tell your majesty, except for the beauties, the amount should be increased by at least ten times. You should open your mouth about this matter, otherwise you will be haggling for a while. , we don't have much left!"

After hearing this, the eldest prince asked in a low voice: "Is that possible? What if I want to run away?"

"If you want me to say that I'd rather run away, I don't want less. If it takes a few years, they will have to find a way to fight against you again. Isn't Zhu country a big country! It's nothing to send more supplies!

Prince, what do you think? "

The eldest prince Songtsan Gampo nodded.

"Well! What you said really makes sense. I'll talk to my father and king in a low voice later!
In the end, let's count as much as we can talk about! "

After speaking, the eldest prince handed over the gift list to his father, and whispered Duan Wuji's thoughts to the old king.

The old king laughed loudly after hearing this, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

The old king put this gift list on the table and said loudly: "Your envoy, are you kidding us with this gift list?

When you invaded our country this time, we lost tens of thousands of soldiers and mobilized 10,000+ troops. How can this list of gifts compensate our country for its losses?

If you really want to talk about peace, then show your sincerity and increase the amount on this gift list by twenty times. This is the number for the beauties in Tianzhu. It is useless to send too much, and you have to waste food. "

The mission of the Tianzhu Kingdom was shocked when they heard this!Unexpectedly, the Tufan Kingdom opened its mouth like a lion, asking for so many things!

These people looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

The old envoy kowtowed continuously after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, you want so many supplies, how can there be so many supplies in our country!

Even if one year's income is poor, there are not so many materials!

This, this is how our country lives?Your Majesty, you have a large number of adults, let's reduce this number, otherwise, our country really can't afford it! "

Well, the two sides are vying for each other and have fallen into an endless stage of bargaining and bargaining.

Seeing them like this, Duan Wuduan couldn't help feeling annoyed for a while, he pulled his elder brothers with his hands, and they slipped out of the big tent.

Several people went back to their big tent to practice.

It wasn't until evening that the eldest prince walked in excitedly.

"Wuji, my good brother, this negotiation has finally been won.

Brother, guess how many benefits we have gained this time? "

Duan Wuji rolled his eyes and said, "Is it ten times more than that list?"

The eldest prince shook his head.

"It's not ten times more, but it's about the same, it's nine times more than that list!

This number can greatly exceed our expectations!

Dude, it looks like this war is really going to make a fortune if you win it! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Prince, we also helped you win this war, your national strength has not suffered any loss, and you have gained so many benefits.

When will the benefits promised to us be given to us! "

The eldest prince laughed and said: "Don't worry, everyone, when we return to the capital after class, we will tell you right away, we can still afford these small sums!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We know that you can afford it, you have received so many benefits from the Tianzhu people, and if you say something that you can't afford, isn't it because you want to renege on your debts!
Why!Eldest prince, when are you going to be the teacher? "

"My royal father has already made a decision. We will return to Beijing tomorrow morning. Tianzhu has already agreed. The compensation materials will be given within half a year, so there is no need for us to stay on the frontier."

"That's right! That's great. Let's take this opportunity to take a look around your capital and see if your capital is prosperous or not!"

Songtsan Gampo smiled wryly.

"Brother, there are so many mountains in our country, no matter how prosperous the capital is, it can't compare with your cities in the interior!

When tomorrow comes, you will know! "

After speaking, the eldest prince walked out.
