This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 341 People's hearts (two in one)

After the Youxian King of the Huns heard the Confucian scholar's words, a sneer flashed in his triangular eyes.

What the Confucian scholar said spoke to his heart. In fact, the Huns seem to be victorious now, but in fact they are not. Just like what the Confucian scholar said, there is still a large Zhou army hidden in Luoyin Mountain.

As for Wen Ruyan who is the leader, although King Youxian had heard of his dandy name before, after the battle at Luoyin Mountain and the incident with Yanzi Guan Ning Wan'er, how could he still not choose him? Looking at it, King Youxian naturally has his ability to achieve his current position.

The army led by Wen Ruyan cannot be underestimated.

In order to prevent the back road from being cut off, he had to allocate troops to defend the three cities in the north, but with the remaining troops, how could he penetrate Dazhou?

Even if he won several big victories in a row, he absolutely dare not underestimate Da Zhou.

Is it true that the tens of millions of people in Dazhou are vegetarians?
Just now he was thinking about what to do next, but now the Confucian scholar's arrival made him feel at ease.

Peace!For the Huns, it is the wisest choice right now.

He didn't know much about the situation in Nanchu at the moment, and he definitely didn't dare to pin all his hopes on Nanchu.If Southern Chu withdrew its troops at Pingyang Pass, then Yang Zhong's 20 troops would head straight for the northern border. How could his tens of thousands of troops be able to stop Da Zhou's tiger and wolf army?
Therefore, right now, it is enough to get benefits from Da Zhou. As for piercing Da Zhou, although this idea is very tempting, King Youxian also knows that it is impossible to realize.

However, although he already had the idea of ​​negotiating peace in his heart, he couldn't directly express it. Who knows where the bottom line of this Confucian scholar is?

How can you force him to give the highest price without scaring him?

Thinking of this, King Youxian snorted coldly again, and said directly to him: "In this case, why did Wen Ruyu send you here to discuss peace?"

The Confucian scholar lowered his head and was silent for a while, then he said, "Because of Southern Chu!"

"Ok?"

"His Royal Highness thinks that if this war really goes on, it is impossible for me, Da Zhou, to lose, but even if I win in the end, it will be a miserable victory. Wouldn't it be a chance for Nan Chu to take advantage of it? Negotiate peace directly with the Xiongnu in exchange for the stability of the northern border, King Youxian is a smart man, why bother to fight to the death with us Da Zhou, and finally add a wedding dress to that Southern Chu student?"

After hearing this, King You Xian chuckled, then sat down slowly, and asked: "Since Wen Ruyu wants to negotiate a peace, I might as well listen to the price you offered first."

The Confucian scholar thought for a while, and then said: "30 taels of silver, 15 shi of grain, [-] cattle and sheep each, and [-] bolts of silk and satin."

"That's all?" King Youxian asked with a sneer.

Confucian scholar nodded: "That's all."

"Come here, pull this person out and cut him off, then send his head back to Yunzhou."

"Yes!"

The two guards immediately set up Confucian scholars and wanted to walk out of the big tent.

A sneer suddenly appeared in the Confucian scholar's heart, but he still pretended to be flustered and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, King Youxian, wait a moment!"

King Youxian looked at him contemptuously again, and said, "What else do you want to say?"

"The conditions given by His Royal Highness are not limited to these, but Xiaosheng's heart is attached to Da Zhou, and there are many concealments in his words. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Hearing what he said, King Youxian's heart suddenly flashed with pride, and he said with a sneer: "This king will give you another chance. If this king is still not satisfied with the conditions you said this time, don't blame this king for letting me go." Your head fell to the ground."

At this moment, the Confucian scholar seemed not to dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said directly: "50 liang of silver, 20 shi of grain, [-] heads of cattle and sheep, [-] bolts of silk and satin, and another [-] taels of silk to the Xiongnu Wang Ting Da Shan." A young lady in her prime."

As soon as he said this, a shock flashed across King You Xian's face, and then he was ecstatic in his heart!

This is a great credit!

However, although Youxian King could hardly restrain the excitement in his heart, he still said: "70 taels of silver, 30 shi of grain, [-] heads of cattle and sheep, and [-] bolts of silk and satin. These are my conditions." , if Wen Ruyu can’t give it to you, then we’ll skip the peace negotiation and see you directly at Yunzhou City!”

The Confucian scholar shook his head and said, "This is impossible!"

"What did you say?" King Youxian looked at the Confucian scholar with a vicious look.

"The condition I just said is the final bottom line given to me by His Royal Highness. If it exceeds this, then please King Youxian kill me now, and then send my head back to Yunzhou." Confucian scholar said firmly.

After hearing what he said, King You Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The Confucian scholar sneered in his heart.

Before he left, Wen Ruyu had already guessed everything that would happen here, including what the Youxian King would say.

Just the same!
It wasn't Wen Ruyan who instructed him to do this, but Wen Ruyu guessed it himself. Although he didn't know much about the battlefield, it was related to the government. His means were surprisingly high.

He had guessed it a long time ago. In the current situation, if he proposed a peace with the Huns, the other party would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail and raise the conditions to the highest level. However, the conditions Wen Ruyu gave in Yunzhou that day can be said to be the ultimate, if they go higher It's unrealistic, and the Youxian King is not stupid, if the conditions are higher, he will definitely have doubts.

So he asked the Confucian scholar to come up and give half of the price first, and then argue with him. In this way, the Youxian King will definitely dispel all doubts in his heart.

The Confucian scholar waited quietly for King Youxian's next words, but he clearly remembered the last sentence Wen Ruyu said to him.

"The Youxian King will definitely agree to this condition, but he will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price. At that time, you only need to disagree, and then he will retreat to the next best thing and give another condition, that is, this negotiation , Da Zhou can only sign a contract with him, and absolutely cannot go to Zuo Xianwang!"

Thinking of this, the Confucian scholar couldn't help looking at the Youxian King with anticipation.

The Youxian King squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment before he said: "It's fine for me to take a step back, but Wen Ruyu has to promise me one condition!"

There was a flash of inspiration in the Confucian scholar's eyes, and then he said: "I also ask You Xianwang to express it clearly."

"My king hopes to sign an agreement with me alone this time!"

After hearing his words, the Confucian scholar admired Wen Ruyu to the extreme.

It's no wonder that everyone in the world praises the current crown prince. With his exhaustive strategies today, he is fully worthy of the title!

But thinking about it, he still said with a little embarrassment: "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, how can King Zuo Xian let it go?"

King You Xian snorted coldly, and said: "At present, I still have 1 warriors in the East Court, and the West Court is only [-]. If you don't agree, then don't blame me for refusing! You Think about it for yourself."

Confucian scholar seemed to be in a particularly entangled situation. It was not until a long time later that he said: "Okay, Xiaosheng will first agree on behalf of His Royal Highness. Anyway, the status of Youxian King is enough."

"Okay! When will the things be delivered?"

"The crown prince has already started preparations before I left. The silver and grain and cloth are easy to talk about, but the cattle, sheep and the young woman need some time. Please also ask Youxian King to give us three days. After three days, at this hour, Goodbye, Shili Pavilion outside Running City!"

In the big tent of King Zuo Xian of the Huns.

"What did you say? Is the news true?"

"The last general will never dare to lie to the king!"

"Ulman, you're damned!"

After Zuo Xianwang said these words viciously, he immediately got up and kicked over the desk in front of him, then angrily walked towards You Xianwang's big tent.

Guan Zipo.

Wen Ruyan said with a smile: "Young Master Han, do you think the two virtuous kings will fight after my Great Zhou envoy arrives in Running?"

After he finished speaking, before Mu Xiqiu could speak, Ning Wan'er behind him sneered and said, "You are so naive."

Wen Ruyan wasn't angry, and didn't look back, but said calmly, "What's your opinion, Miss Ning?"

Ning Wan'er snorted coldly, and said: "Even if there is an insoluble conflict between the Eastern and Western courts of the Xiongnu, they will still speak out unanimously when the war ends. How dare you fight against the Righteous King? You must know that there is still a great Chanyu among the Huns. If the huge benefits are not in the hands of the Huns because of Zuo Xianwang's impulsive actions, you say he can bear such a crime start?"

As soon as she said this, not only the people behind Mu Xiqiu nodded in agreement, but even the group of teenagers surnamed Ji felt that what she said was very reasonable.

On the other hand, Wen Ruyan looked at Mu Xiqiu and smiled lightly, but did not speak.

How could Ning Wan'er not understand what he meant?What is it if he doesn't look down on himself?
Ning Wan'er was confident that she did not say the wrong thing, looked at Wen Ruyan and said angrily: "Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing that she was not forgiving, Wen Ruyan immediately smiled and said to Mu Xiqiu, "May I ask Mr. Han to explain to Miss Ning."

Hearing what he said, Ning Wan'er immediately set her eyes on Mu Xiqiu.

Mu Xiqiu sighed helplessly, and said, "Your Highness has really studied people's hearts to the extreme."

"Since Mr. Han can say such a thing, doesn't it prove that you have thought of this too?"

Ning Wan'er didn't need to believe Wen Ruyan, but Mu Xiqiu said so, how could she not be swayed?
Could it be that I was thinking wrong?

Not only him, everyone's eyes are on Mu Xiqiu at this moment, they also want to know what the confidence of His Highness Prince Jing is!
Mu Xiqiu said indifferently: "Such a crime, King Zuoxian can't afford to bear it. If he is not careful, he will be the eternal sinner of the Huns!"

Ning Wan'er's face just looked better, but Mu Xiqiu said again: "But the two of them are blood feuds, and now they are ordered by the Great Chanyu to send troops at the same time, but the final credit goes to King Youxian One person, but he has to return to Beimo with the name of a loser, and suffers all the cold abuse from the Huns, do you think he can accept it?"

"Even if he can accept it, how can the soldiers in the West Court accept it? They have suffered a lot in this war. In the end, they didn't get any credit for it, and instead, they were taken by the East Court, which he has always disliked for a long time. The soldiers stabilized one end, one can imagine how much resentment they will have backlogged in their hearts! And how can King Zuo Xian still stabilize the position of Lord of the West Court?"

Ning Wan'er retorted: "Even so, wouldn't he dare to fight the Youxian King under the city of Yunzhou?"

Mu Xiqiu shook his head and said: "King Zuo Xian can't afford such a crime, but he is also afraid that he will lose the support of the soldiers of the West Court because of this, so he will definitely find another way."

"What way?" Ning Wan'er asked puzzled.

She is really a little confused now, not to mention her, even Ye Linxue standing here at this moment, would also be confused.

Mu Xiqiu glanced at the confident Wen Ruyan, and then said: "I think the conditions given by the messenger from Yunzhou must be very generous, but it takes time to prepare, and King Zuoxian will definitely take the opportunity to serve in the army when the time comes." The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China publicized that Da Zhou's plan was to slow down the troops. He just wanted to hold them back, and then secretly mobilized the army. If they were really given enough time, they would definitely fight back against the Huns' army. Not necessarily."

"But Youxian King will not agree with his point of view. The two will definitely confront each other. Zuo Xianwang is already dissatisfied with Wen Ruyu's way of looking down on him. At that time, he will definitely attack Yunzhou."

A hint of shock suddenly appeared on Ning Wan'er's face, which she really didn't expect.

"But he only has 1 soldiers, how can he go down to Yunzhou?" Peng Hai asked blankly behind Mu Xiqiu.

"Of course he didn't want to fight Yunzhou, but he wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on King Youxian and Wen Ruyu in Yunzhou, forcing them to share half of the credit for this day with him."

"What if King You Xian agrees under this pressure?" Peng Hai asked again.

Mu Xiqiu glanced at him indifferently, and said: "If it were you, let you and a person who has a grudge against you complete one thing together, and when the thing is done, it seems that the credit is yours. At this time, you Are you willing to give half to the person who has a grudge against you?"

Peng Hai was about to speak, but Mu Xiqiu said again: "Don't forget that right now King Zuo Xian only has 1 soldiers in his hands, and there are many wounded soldiers, and King You Xian has more than [-] soldiers in his hands. But with absolute confidence!"

Peng Hai fell silent for a moment.

Ning Wan'er's face suddenly changed, and she said: "You mean that King Youxian refuses to give credit to King Zuoxian, and King Zuoxian will definitely attack the city? And then King Youxian doesn't want to lose this credit, but will stop him King Zuo Xian?"

Mu Xiqiu nodded and said, "That's right."

Ning Wan'er said in a daze: "East and West courts are feuds. As soon as the Yunzhou messenger arrived, the officers and men of the West Court felt that the East Court wanted to take all the credit, while the officers and men of the East Court believed that the West Court was not entitled to a share of the pie. We already suppressed the anger in each other's hearts, as long as there is a small friction, it will definitely be out of control like a volcanic eruption."

Mu Xiqiu nodded slightly again, while Wen Ruyan still smiled lightly.

"If there is a conflict between the two armies, then the two sage kings on the left and right will absolutely not be able to control the situation. Under this internal struggle, no matter who wins or loses, the two armies will definitely part ways. Since then, the Xiongnu army has been divided into two. "

"The objection raised by Zuo Xianwang in advance is indeed possible. After all, the situation on the battlefield changes suddenly, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the next moment. Therefore, even if he returns to Beimo to face the Great Shanyu in the future, he This reason is completely tenable." Ning Wan'er muttered to herself.
