Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 146 Could it be possible that the war will start tomorrow, and he, Gu Jinnian, can summon a meteor to kill [-] cavalry?
Hun court.

Set a feast.

This peace negotiation was a complete success, which is a great joy for everyone.

But what the envoys of the three dynasties did not expect was that Daxia sent a letter to unilaterally destroy the agreement and agreement.

Although the letter clearly stated the situation clearly.

Li Shan has no power to negotiate a peace.

Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has no power to negotiate a peace, and the person who can really decide to negotiate a peace is Gu Jinnian.

At the same time, the letter also made it clear that Gu Jinnian agreed to the request for peace talks.

Compensation of [-] taels of silver, the chief culprits of the Huns who participated in the border war that year, all committed suicide, and asked the king of the Huns to personally issue an edict to admit his fault.

The Great Xia Dynasty agreed to the peace talks, otherwise the talks would be avoided.

"Too deceiving."

"Too deceiving."

"It's really deceiving people too much."

The Hun King tightly clutched the letter in his hand, his eyes were full of killing intent and anger.

This is so bullying.

In this peace talks, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty, it can be regarded as their full support, right?

All the requirements of the Huns are paid by the two dynasties. Does this not count as giving you face in Daxia?

Unexpectedly, the Great Xia Dynasty was so aggressive.

"Two."

"Right now, it's not my Huns who are justifiable and unforgiving, but the Great Xia Dynasty, which is too despicable and shameless."

"Since Great Xia is going to fight, then we, the Huns, are not afraid to fight."

"Pass down the order of the king, dispatch the army, and send troops to fight."

The Xiongnu King is also a bloody person, like the Great Xia Dynasty, so there is no need for him to have a hot face and a cold butt.

Declare war directly.

But as soon as this remark came out, the envoys of Fuluo Dynasty and Dajin Dynasty couldn't help frowning.

indeed.

The Great Xia Dynasty's request was too much, and it was not good to send troops directly.

But they don't want a war, not because they are afraid of the Great Xia Dynasty, but because they have something to do.

Therefore, the envoys of the Dajin Dynasty spoke up.

"Your anger, rest your anger."

"This matter is indeed the Great Xia Dynasty's fault, but Shangshu Yang Kai clearly mentioned in the letter that this matter was Gu Jinnian's decision."

"I think it should be that the Great Xia Emperor didn't trust Yang Kai and Li Shan, so he sent Gu Jinnian to supervise. However, this Gu Jinnian never does things regardless of the consequences, and often goes his own way."

"So, this matter is not necessarily what the Great Xia Emperor wanted."

"In this way, my Dajin Dynasty sent envoys to Daxia's capital to meet with the Emperor Daxia and inform him of the matter. In this way, it will be clearer whether this is Daxia's intention or Gu Jinnian's alone. Interesting."

The Dajin envoy spoke, and what he said was reasonable, so that the Hun King nodded.

"Yes, this matter is not what Gu Jinnian says."

"Your Majesty, you should ask Emperor Daxia what he means."

The Fuluo envoy also spoke up.

As soon as this remark came out, the Hun King calmed down his anger, but he still frowned.

"You can ask, but what Gu Jinnian has done is indeed provoking our Huns."

"If the Great Xia Emperor is willing to negotiate a peace, no matter what, an additional ten million taels of silver will be required."

"This money must be paid by Daxia."

The King of the Huns was on top of the road.

He also got angry.

This time, the envoys of the two dynasties didn't say anything, because Gu Jinnian was indeed too much.

in this way.

Chen Song didn't talk nonsense, and immediately arranged for people to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to ask the Great Xia Emperor.

And at the same time.

in the military camp.

The news of the declaration of war spread quickly.

For the previous summation.

There are disputes in the military camp. Some people naturally hope that there will be no war and peace is best, but most people are actually not satisfied with this peace negotiation.

Especially some young soldiers, partly want to make contributions.

For soldiers, if they want to improve their status, they can only go through war. In peacetime, it is basically to get seniority, and after ten or 20 years, at most, they can be promoted by one level.

This is still not a high level, if it is higher, there is basically no hope.

And another group of people, their fathers, died in the border battle.

They continue to join the army just to avenge their father or their family one day.

The mind of nature's main battle is strong.

Right now, after hearing that the war was about to start, the barracks was in full swing, and most people praised Gu Jinnian as worthy of being the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo.

A small number of people expressed emotion, but there were no complaints.

It is nothing more than feeling that peace talks are possible, and it is best to resolve them through peace talks.

Inside the military camp.

Yang Kai looked at Gu Jinnian with a heavy heart.

He actually guessed that Gu Jinnian would definitely not make peace talks, but what he didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian would not make peace talks in this way.

"His Royal Highness."

"There is nothing wrong with what you did today, but you should never have slapped Li Xiang."

"After all, he is the prime minister of the Great Xia. If this matter is reported to the court, I'm afraid it will cause huge controversy."

"In the court, there are many officials who are disciples of Li Xiang, and there are also many businessmen all over the world who are also disciples of Li Xiang. They should not offend Li Xiang."

Yang Kai made a sound.

I think Gu Jinnian is impulsive.

Who is Li Shan?

Prime Minister Daxia, the forces behind him are extremely terrifying, and they will definitely not be worse than the national tolerance.

Offending Li Shan is not a wise choice.

"I see."

"It's just that I have to be guilty."

"Li Shan advocates peace talks, and there must be some ulterior secrets behind it."

Gu Jinnian spoke lightly.

"This"

Yang Kai didn't know what to say, he had mixed feelings about Li Shan's behavior.

If there is a problem with Li Shan, he is not sure. After all, the conditions for the opening of the Xiongnu Kingdom are indeed very good.

If there is no Gu Jinnian, he will agree.

But to say that Li Shan is fine, it seems too impatient.

It seems premeditated.

He is not good at participating in this matter.

In the court, nothing is trivial, and every confrontation and game involves the participation of various forces.

If it doesn't have much to do with him, he doesn't even want to get involved.

It seems that Gu Jinnian is targeting Li Shan, who can guarantee that it is not Zhen Guogong who wants to attack the current prime minister?
In the court, there are no enemies or friends to speak of, and when it comes to interests, all kinds of methods are used, whether it is dirty or upright.

The victory of one side means the elimination of the other side.

None of the participants will end well.

"If war is really declared, it will indeed be a considerable expense for the Great Xia Dynasty, and the people's tax revenue will increase a lot."

"I just want to end this war quickly and get the best return at the lowest price."

Yang Kai made a sound.

Now that Gu Jinnian has made up his mind, he has nothing to dissuade him.

However, I just hope that this war will not be too tragic, just win it.

"Gold and silver things, don't worry."

"And I have a solution, to solve the tax problem."

However, after Yang Kai finished speaking, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded immediately, his face full of confidence.

"Solve the tax problem?"

"How to solve?"

This time it was Yang Kai's turn to be a little surprised.

The country is about to go to war, and although the national treasury is not exhausted, it still has no money after all.

Then the people must be taxed.

How does Gu Jinnian solve this problem?

"I have my own plan."

"Even the people not only don't need to pay taxes, but can reduce taxes."

Gu Jinnian said lightly.

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Kai couldn't sit still.

If it were someone else, Yang Kai would not even bother to pay attention to it. It is a matter of course to fight and collect taxes. That dynasty does not collect taxes when fighting?Unless the treasury is full.

The imperial court's biggest worry about the war was actually financial issues.

Daxia is indeed not afraid of war.

But the problem is that if you don't have money to fight forcibly, you will lose if you win, and it will be even worse if you lose.

If the money is enough, hit it.

"His Royal Highness."

"Can you just say it straight, the old man's heart has been aroused by you."

"If you don't tell me, I'm afraid the old man will stay up all night."

Yang Kai is really itchy.

He wondered what Gu Jinnian could do to avoid this tax problem.

However, Gu Jinnian shook his head and said.

"This matter involves too much, and I'm sorry for being rude, I can't say it, and I can't say it."

Gu Jinnian spoke seriously.

He did have a way, but he couldn't say this way.

Gu Jinnian's strategy is very simple, not to allow ordinary people to increase taxes, nor to target the rich, but to share them equally.

That is to say, the well-known ones are spread into acres.

In addition, the fire consumption is returned to the public.

Divide the land into the mu, solve the tax problem of the poor people, pay more for more land, and no land for no land, which can promote population growth.

As for the return of the fire consumption to the public, it is a huge fortune.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of Officials shouted all day long that the salaries of all the officials were low, and officials from all over the place were complaining, but in fact Gu Jinnian was very clear about it.

The officials in the capital are alright, except for those with real power and gray income under the feet of the emperor.

Isn't the local official rich?

People's fat and people's ointment, plus Yanglianyin, and such things as fire consumption, each one is richer and nobler than the other.

Just like the gang of officials in Guiyang County, in such a poor place, the gang of officials can greedy a lot of money.

Therefore, there is no such thing as suffering or suffering, each of them is just complaining about suffering.

Anyway, if you can get more money from the public house, you can get more money, and at the same time it can show that you are poor and poor.

With the addition of the income of the stalls into the mu and the return of the fire consumption to the public, the Daxia Dynasty will definitely become rich quickly.

But Gu Jinnian is also very clear.

If this policy is decentralized.

I'm afraid it will offend too many people, and it's definitely not as simple as a hundred officials, but the entire rich and middle class of Daxia.

And officials everywhere.

Therefore, if you want to implement these two policies, you must make a perfect plan, think clearly, and at the same time, have a certain right to speak in the court before you can implement them.

Otherwise, although the idea is good, Gu Jinnian can guarantee that if it cannot be used, all places will stop it, and even these people will spread rumors everywhere, spread rumors and intimidate the people.

Therefore, it must be completely stable before it can be implemented.

"Ugh."

"His Royal Highness."

"Emotion fades."

Yang Kai sighed, he was a little helpless, but he had nothing to say.

At this moment, a figure came quickly and spoke hastily outside the camp.

"His Royal Highness."

"King Ning is here."

Following the sound of this voice, Yang Kai's expression couldn't help but change.

Before Gu Jinnian came, he heard about King Ning.

It's just that the Duke of the State came forward to this matter, plus the matter of peace talks, Yang Kai didn't make any fuss.

Now that King Ning is here, Yang Kai still has some discoloration.

King Ning.

The king of the western region, in terms of status and power, is no weaker than Duke Zhen.

"Where is the Duke?"

Yang Kai opened his mouth and asked where Duke Zhen was for Gu Jinnian.

"Return to your lord, Duke Zhen has already gone to the entrance of the city."

The latter replied and informed the two.

At that moment, Gu Jinnian got up directly and walked outside the camp.

At this moment.

On the wall of Tongguan City.

Duke Zhen stood up slowly, and Li Lengxin was also brought up, but he was still in a coma and hadn't woken up yet.

under the city.

The scorching sun was shining, and King Ning led hundreds of elites, sitting on his horse, quietly looking at Duke Zhen.

"Gu Yuan."

"State your terms."

King Ning arrives.

He hardly talked nonsense and did not enter the city. Instead, he looked at Duke Zhen and asked him to make a condition.

city ​​wall.

Hearing King Ning's voice, Duke Zhen was also very direct.

"Ten Martial King Pellets, a hundred Human Dragon Pellets, and three thousand Magic Ability Pellets, in exchange for the Black Water Cavalry."

Zhen Guo publicly announced his conditions.

The black water iron cavalry is the strongest iron cavalry under King Ning. He couldn't keep it. This is the truth, so he simply replaced it with a pill.

Gu Jinnian really needs pills to improve his strength now.

"it is good."

No nonsense, King Ning agreed directly.

Although the asking price is scary, it is not a loss to exchange for the black water cavalry.

"My son, what do you need?"

King Ning continued to speak.

The black water cavalry has returned, and his son is next.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian appeared on the city wall.

"grandfather."

Seeing Gu Yuan, the old man nodded, and then looked at Ning Wangdao.

"Your son attacked and killed the old man's grandson. No amount of pills can be exchanged for it. If he dares to commit murder, he is doomed to die."

Old man Gu spoke.

With a calm voice, he directly told King Ning that Li Lengxin would definitely die.

Upon receiving this answer, King Ning looked calm.

"Gu Yuan."

"No matter what the king's son does, it's not up to you to deal with it. No matter what, it will be handled by His Majesty, and let the Ministry of Punishment handle it."

"You Gu family, you don't have this power yet."

King Ning said, since Gu Yuan did not intend to release him, he could only use this method.

"Your Majesty has a decree. The old man is fully responsible for all matters in the Northwest Territory, and has the right to kill first and then play."

"If you are not convinced, you can go to the capital, and in front of His Majesty, read the old man's book."

Facing the prince of the western region, Lord Zhen didn't have the slightest fear, nor did he compromise at all.

After saying this, he stretched out his hand.

Li Lengxin, who was currently tied to a stake, was awakened.

He opened his eyes, a little confused, and when he saw his father appearing, Li Lengxin forgot the pain and let out a heart-piercing sound.

"Father, save me, Father, save me quickly."

"Father, you must save me."

"I don't want to die."

Li Lengxin cried out almost heart-piercingly, hoping that his father could save him.

Hearing his son's voice, King Ning didn't show any distress or distress, but quietly watched Gu Yuan.

"Send my son out of the city."

"For everything that happened before, don't blame the past. This king will prepare a generous gift and send it to the Duke's Mansion."

"I will also discipline the prince's son well."

King Ning spoke again, and the prince's demeanor was revealed. Even if he wanted something from others, King Ning did not humble himself in the slightest.

"kill."

just.

Duke Zhen didn't hesitate at all, he waved his hand.

Immediately, some soldiers drew their sabers and chopped towards Li Lengxin's head and neck.

Li Lengxin's pupils dilated, and his eyes were full of fear.

He didn't even think that he just killed two untouchables, but he didn't expect to pay the price with his life. He has done more heinous things than this before, isn't it all right?
Why die on this matter?
He was unwilling.

But it was too late.

At that moment, a human head fell to the ground and fell directly from the city wall, breaking into pieces.

at this time.

Everyone was in an uproar, even the fortification soldiers couldn't help being shocked.

This is King Ning's son.

King Ning came here in person, to be honest, even if he didn't give face, he wouldn't be beheaded on the spot, right?

Even Gu Jinnian couldn't help but click his tongue.

My old man is really ruthless, and he does things decisively, without any leeway.

Under the city, King Ning's expression darkened instantly when he saw this scene.

No one could calm down when his own parent and child died in front of him, but he was not as angry as expected. King Ning's face changed, but he didn't have much emotion.

This is a bit odd.

According to the rumors, King Ning doted on his two sons extremely, but his current behavior seemed a little weird.

Intriguing.

"Gu Yuan."

"After the Northwest War, I will definitely go to the capital in person."

King Ning took a deep breath, he looked at Gu Yuan and roared angrily.

And on the city.

Old man Gu was not afraid of anything, he took a step forward, and his voice was deafening.

"Assassinate my grandson, this is the end."

"If anyone in this world dares to assassinate my grandson, as long as the old man survives, the old man will let him die without a place to bury him."

Old man Gu made a domineering voice.

He deliberately didn't kill Li Lengxin on the spot, but waited for King Ning to redeem him, and killed him in front of him.

It's not that he didn't give Prince Ning face.

Instead, he told the world that he would not give face to anyone who dared to touch Gu Jinnian.
Mr. Gu understands that if the battle of destiny starts, Gu Jinnian will be targeted by many people, and evil schemes will emerge.

But he doesn't care about the affairs behind him, at least now he has to be clear about one thing, to trouble Gu Jinnian, is to make enemies of the Gu family and be prepared to die.

Come here if you are not afraid of death.

Listen to what Gu Yuan said.

King Ning didn't say anything, he turned and left, returning to the palace.

Such a move is even more intriguing.

Gu Jinnian watched all this quietly.

To be honest, I thought that King Ning's arrival was another dispute, but I didn't expect that King Ning would not change at all when his own son died in front of him.

I don't know if it's a xinxing problem, or King Ning doesn't care about his son at all.

But no matter what, King Ning left.

And the Gu family also had another enemy.

As King Ning left, Mr. Gu looked calm, then looked at Gu Jinnian and said.

"The Daijin envoy has already gone to Kyoto, intending to inform His Majesty about the peace talks."

"The border war is about to start, Jinnian, you should go back earlier."

The old man spoke.

Let Gu Jinnian leave early.

He knew that the border war was bound to happen.

So he hoped that Gu Jinnian would leave early and return to the capital to wait for news.

However, facing what the old man said, Gu Jinnian shook his head.

"grandfather."

"The grandson plans to leave after the war begins."

"I don't want others to treat your grandson as special."

"Although he can't carry a gun to the battle, the blood of the Gu family still flows in his grandson."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Before going to the cemetery, Gu Jinnian also planned to leave after the peace negotiation was over, no matter what the result was.

But now, he wants to stay, at least until the first battle is over before leaving.

The soldiers of the Great Xia fought bloody battles, but they themselves were protected and left. Isn't this a joke?Lost face of the Gu family?
Heard this.

Mr. Gu was very pleased.

"it is good."

"Zhou Kui, during this period of time, you and Shizi, if you need anything, just go to him. Grandpa is busy and can't accompany you."

Old Master Gu asked, and he asked a general to follow Gu Jinnian to take care of him.

"Okay, grandpa, you are busy."

The war is about to start, the old man has a lot of things to do, he knows it in his heart, so naturally he won't bother.

After Mr. Gu left.

Zhou Kui also stepped forward immediately. He looked to be in his thirties, and he was wearing a battle armor. Even in the hot weather, he did not take off his armor.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness, I have always heard about your deeds, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Zhou Kui came up, all smiles.

"The general is polite."

Gu Jinnian arched his hands in salute.

"His Royal Highness, the last general will arrange a place for you now."

Zhou Kui said that he wanted to arrange a place for Gu Jinnian.

"No, just live in the big camp, just like ordinary people."

Gu Jinnian specifically reminded him that he didn't want to make it too complicated, just normal.

"His Royal Highness, this is...something wrong."

Zhou Kui made a sound, his expression changed a little.

"There's nothing wrong with it."

"So arranged."

"By the way, General Zhou, please tell me more about the military affairs in the past two days. I need to understand all aspects."

Gu Jinnian said that soldiers are the strongest spears of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they are also the greatest confidence of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Naturally, you have to study hard, it is impossible to be a Confucian official who talks about war on paper, right?

Only by understanding the soldiers and some things in the army can we better adjust and formulate different rules.

"Row."

"His Royal Highness, please."

Zhou Kui was not a pretentious person either. When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he did not hesitate and arranged immediately.

in this way.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

Daxia Palace.

above the hall.

Civil and military officials stood on the left and right, and Emperor Yongsheng sat on the dragon chair with a calm expression.

"Tell the envoys of the Great Jin to enter the palace."

Following Wei Xian's voice, a figure soon walked towards the hall.

It's Daikin envoy.

The latter bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, shouted Long Live the Great Xia Emperor, and then took out a memorial from his sleeve and said.

"Your Majesty, the peace talks of the three dynasties are coming soon, and your Prime Minister Li Shan has signed the peace agreement."

"The Xiongnu Kingdom proposed silver taels of compensation, mine compensation, the Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty, in order to seek peace in the Eastern Wasteland, they are willing to pay the silver taels on behalf of the Daxia Dynasty. As for mine compensation, the Dajin Dynasty is willing to send [-] monks to build a temple."

"Eliminate the resentment of the people and increase the national destiny of the two countries. The only request of the Huns is to hope that the Great Xia Dynasty will revise the history books to promote friendship between the two countries."

"This round of peace negotiations, the Quartet is satisfied."

"However, Gu Jinnian, the eldest son of Da Xia, unilaterally annulled the agreement and agreement, and even rumored that he slapped Li Xiang, because of his own anger, he intended to make peace in the Eastern Wasteland."

"To ask the Xiongnu Kingdom for one hundred million taels of silver compensation is to ask the leader of the Xiongnu Kingdom to apologise, and the king of the Xiongnu Kingdom should issue an imperial edict for his crime."

"Listing the unacceptable conditions, there is no intention of negotiating peace at all. The king of the Xiongnu Kingdom was furious and wanted to declare war, but under the reconciliation of Fuluo and the Dajin Dynasty, he sent his ministers to the capital of Daxia to meet the Holy Majesty."

"Inquiring about the result, I want to ask whether Gu Jinnian has the right to interfere with this peace negotiation."

Envoy Daijin, explain everything clearly.

Ins and outs, very careful.

And as his voice fell, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help being in an uproar.

"Slap Li Xiang?"

"Return the twelve cities after revising the history books?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver compensation? This,"

None of the civil and military officials expected that this peace negotiation would have such a result.

Someone exclaimed that Li Xiang was slapped by Gu Jinnian.

But more people were surprised that the Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty were willing to pay compensation for Daxia during this peace negotiation?

This is really incredible.

To be honest, this is already the best of benevolence, and Da Xia can fully agree.

Even during this period of time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were weighing the matter of this peace negotiation. In the end, everyone agreed that compensation of [-] million taels of silver, plus revision of history books, was acceptable.

Now you don't even need to give [-] million taels of silver, you only need to revise the history books, which is simply a free gift.

At the moment, some officials couldn't help but speak.

"His Majesty."

"This Gu Jinnian is just a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, how can he revoke the right to negotiate peace?"

"Furthermore, this time the Great Jin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty are full of sincerity and care about the people of the Eastern Wasteland. This is a good deed of a great country. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to transfer Gu Jinnian back to the capital."

The right servant of the official department stood up and spoke immediately, expressing his thoughts.

Soon one after another officials came out.

They mean roughly the same thing.

Peace!

For them, it is a good thing. There will be no wars, the country will develop stably, and there will not be too many problems.

At this moment, even Zhao Yiyang, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not speak.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Gu Jinnian, but that the terms of the peace negotiation are too good.

It was almost a free gift to the twelve cities of the Great Xia Dynasty.

From the perspective of national interests, let alone, it's pretty good, much better than expected.

After half a moment.

When no one continued to speak, the voice of Emperor Yongsheng slowly sounded.

"Go back and tell the Hun King."

"The meaning of Jinnian is my heart."

Emperor Yongsheng made a faint sound.

He sat on the dragon chair, and a word made all the officials frown, and also made the Dajin envoy frown.

From everyone's point of view, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty should put a certain amount of pressure on Daxia, and the two dynasties are willing to help the Daxia Dynasty pay all other compensations.

The Great Xia Dynasty has no reason to refuse.

Not only is there no reason to refuse, but the Great Xia Dynasty should feel joy and happiness.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongsheng refused?

"His Majesty."

A courtier opened his mouth and couldn't help but want to say a few words.

However, under the gaze of Emperor Yongsheng, the latter did not dare to speak more immediately.

"My lord, Great Xia."

"The purpose of this peace negotiation is for the peace of the Eastern Wasteland. In this matter, the Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty do not need to get involved at all. The bloody battle between Daxia and the Xiongnu is a good thing for us and the two dynasties."

"But for the people of the Eastern Wilderness, the Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty, they abandoned small interests and worked hard to reconcile for the great interests of the Eastern Wasteland. The Holy One is the emperor of the Great Xia, so they should avoid wars due to love, and should also protect the territory of the Eastern Wasteland according to reason. "

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

The Dajin envoy spoke, and he looked at Emperor Yongsheng, hoping that the other party would think twice.

At the same time, he couldn't figure out why Emperor Yongsheng refused to negotiate a peace.

"I said so."

"The meaning of Jinnian is my meaning."

"Big Xia does not need the help of the two dynasties, nor does it need to rely on other people's charity to take back the city that belongs to my Great Xia."

"To take it back in this way is a disgrace to Da Xia."

"Go back and tell the King of the Huns, the Emperor of Dajin, and the Emperor of Fuluo."

"From the very beginning, I had no intention of negotiating a peace."

"The blood debt 13 years ago, I want the Huns to pay in blood."

"The biggest opportunity for the Huns is to agree to Jinnian's request. This is their only way to survive."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

At this moment, he stood up and looked at the other party with an extremely cold expression.

Yes.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought about negotiating a peace, he just wanted to make the Huns pay in blood.

As for the conditions offered by Gu Jinnian, he can also accept it, return the Twelve Cities, pay compensation, self-judgment, and punish himself.

This is not unacceptable.

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent.

Especially the officials who spoke out before, all of them lowered their heads and looked ugly.

They are obviously peacemakers, but they didn't expect that His Majesty never considered peace.

"Holy."

"If war is really declared, there will be more murders. At that time, the Eastern Wilderness will be in chaos again. Besides, Daxia may not win."

"Your Majesty, you should calm down and think twice."

When the Dajin envoy spoke, he did not expect that Emperor Yongsheng would have such thoughts.

However, he was neither angry nor annoyed. He still asked Emperor Yongsheng to think twice, hoping that Emperor Yongsheng would appease his anger.

"Go back and make the King of the Huns think twice."

"Also, it is best for the Dajin Dynasty and Fuluo Dynasty not to interfere in this matter."

"If I find out that the two dynasties dare to participate and secretly help the Huns."

"There are still millions of troops sitting in the northwest. When the time comes, the court of the Huns will be destroyed, and then they will step on the ancient capital of Fuluo."

"Remember, I didn't get into this position by studying."

"Come here, send the envoy to leave the capital."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

Especially the last sentence is extremely overbearing.

He did not ascend to the throne by studying, but by stepping on corpses.

For a moment, the Dajin envoy was completely silent.

He didn't know what to say.

In the end, he lowered his head, bowed respectfully, and then left.

After the Dajin envoys left, Emperor Yongsheng turned his attention to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Especially the one who accused Gu Jinnian just now.

"You should reflect on yourself."

"It doesn't matter if you lose Daxia's face, don't lose Daxia's bones."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.

After saying this, he turned and left without any anger, but this lack of anger was even more frightening.

in this way.

The next day.

Daxia Tongguan City.

Inside the military camp.

The entire barracks has been lively these days.

Just because of Daxia's son, Gu Jinnian is here.

Not only did he come, but he also ate and lived with the soldiers. When he was free, he helped carry the military supplies, or wrote letters for the soldiers.

At first, everyone felt that Gu Jinnian was just putting on an act, but after two or three days of contact, everyone found that Gu Jinnian was not at all pretentious.

Eat, gobble it up, without the slightest dislike.

Sleeping, covered with a quilt, nothing unusual.

Gu Jinnian even made some very weird things. He took some weeds, soaked them in water, and sealed them up for a day. It tasted sour and sweet, a bit like wine, but it didn't taste like wine, and it didn't smell like wine.

This is the most important thing. Drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited in the barracks, but most of the soldiers are addicted to alcohol, and with the upcoming war, they are still more or less worried about it.

Gu Jinnian's hard work won unanimous praise from the entire military camp.

And this time.

In the stables, Zhou Kui and some soldiers were explaining some things to Gu Jinnian.

"His Royal Highness."

"My Daxia warhorse is strong and powerful. Although it is not as good as the Xiongnu and Dajin warhorses, it is far superior to the Fuluo warhorses."

"This technique of raising horses is also something that Daxia has been studying all these years. The main reason is the problem of blood and diet."

"The war horses of the Huns are a very special kind of war horses with powerful bloodlines. This is incomparable. The war horses of the Great Jin Dynasty eat dragon rice, which is hard to find in Daxia."

"If we also have Longmi in Daxia, it's not like the last general bragging. One-on-one, killing the Huns is like killing chickens."

Zhou Kui spoke, pointing to the Daxia war horse and said so.

And Gu Jinnian is also carefully observing the horses. In ancient wars, weapons and armor have not improved much. Cavalry is the strongest combat power.

Putting aside things that cannot be improved, this war horse is the most critical.

Gu Jinnian specially came here to study, hoping that one day, he could cultivate a group of powerful war horses, which could be regarded as enhancing the national strength of Great Xia.

While Gu Jinnian was studying carefully, a figure came quickly and saw Zhou Kui saying very seriously.

"General Zhou, there is an order from Zhen Guogong to hurry to the army's camp."

He opened his mouth and bowed to Zhou Kui.

Hearing this news, Zhou Kui frowned slightly, but he didn't hesitate, looking at Gu Jinnian and saying.

"His Royal Highness, the last general has to leave first."

Zhou Kui spoke out.

"It's okay, the general is busy."

Gu Jinnian nodded, but he roughly guessed what was going on.

Counting the distance, it is estimated that the Dajin envoy has already returned, and I am afraid that a war will start.

Following Zhou Kui's departure, Gu Jinnian was also carefully observing these war horses.

Soon, Zhou Kui came to the military aircraft camp.

At this time, all the main generals appeared together, and Zhen Guogong rehearsed the battle with the generals in the camp.

About an hour later.

Lord Zhen's voice sounded.

"Send the order down."

"Let's go out to the city tomorrow to face the battle, and be ready to charge at any time. You can't lose the first battle."

Zhen Guo open mouth.

Tomorrow the real battle will begin.

As the order was issued, the entire barracks was completely busy in an instant. Everyone began to prepare, move the military supplies, and bring in the horses. Some soldiers even started to practice the formation.

Looks hot.

Some people fear war, while others look forward to it.
And at the same time.

In the court of the Huns.

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

"The Great Xia Dynasty is really domineering."

"It's fine to return the Twelve Cities unconditionally, but you still want this king to pay you one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous."

"Is it because 13 years of self-cultivation made Daxia think that my king's Huns cavalry can't beat their Daxia Dynasty?"

The Hun King roared.

In Wang Ting, he clenched his fists, really angry.

After listening to Da Jin's envoy, he was so angry that he doubted his life.

At this moment, no one spoke anymore.

Even the envoys of the Dajin Dynasty or the Fuluo Dynasty didn't know what to say.

"Pass down the king's order."

"Tomorrow we will send 20 troops. I want to see what kind of confidence the Great Xia Dynasty has."

"Why do you dare to ask the king to pay a hundred thousand taels of silver?"

The King of the Huns said that since the Great Xia Dynasty was going to fight, the Huns were not afraid.

"Kings."

"It's still a bit inappropriate to start a war this time."

At this moment, Harumu spoke to dissuade the Huns.

"inappropriate?"

"It's already reached this point, what else is wrong?"

"Could it be true that the Huns should pay them one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

The Hun King stared at Harum with anger in his eyes.

"No."

"Your Majesty, the national fortune of the Huns has been cut, and Gu Jinnian is still on the border of Daxia. If Gu Jinnian writes another poem and cuts the fortune of the Huns, I'm afraid it will be bad for this battle."

Harum expressed the worry in his heart.

In fact, it still has something to do with national luck.

Peace is a good thing.

Whether it is against the Great Xia Dynasty or against the Huns.

The Huns are invincible in battle, but the problem is that the national fortune has been cut three times, so there is no guarantee that any accident will happen.

"ridiculous."

"What can Gu Jinnian do? He cut down the Xiongnu's national fortune, but the national fortune is still there, and its foundation has not been damaged. If this battle can be won, the lost national fortune will come back."

"Under one hundred thousand cavalry, the first battle can be won. Is it possible that, just because of Gu Jinnian, our Huns will swallow their anger?"

"Furthermore, even if it cuts the national fortune again, so what? Under the death battle, the national fortune is partially affected, and the situation of the battle cannot be changed."

"Could it be said that Gu Jinnian can still summon Huoshi to kill a hundred thousand cavalry of the Huns?"

The Hun King was angry.

It is understandable to dissuade him.

But to persuade myself with a Gu Jinnian, it's an insult to myself.

The Huns are not even afraid of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they are actually worried about Gu Jinnian?

He is really dissatisfied.

As soon as this remark came out, Harum fell silent, because what the Hun King said was right.

"Kings."

"I think the Huns can fight."

"The Great Xia Dynasty simply felt that your country's fortunes were weakened and wanted to have a tentative battle."

"So we must teach Daxia a lesson and let them know how powerful your country is."

"In this way, the Great Xia Dynasty will be honest."

The envoy of the Fuluo Dynasty spoke, and he now supports the war.

"kindness."

"We can indeed teach Daxia a lesson. The Xiongnu iron cavalry is indeed invincible in the world. Tomorrow, [-] cavalry will be pushed horizontally, and [-] Daxia soldiers will be slaughtered in the first battle. At that time, the Daxia Dynasty will be honest."

"Afterwards, the Great Xia Emperor will definitely negotiate a peace. Even if he doesn't want to negotiate a peace, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree."

"At that time, let the Great Xia Dynasty pay compensation, and the condition at that time is that we will open it."

The envoys of the Dajin Dynasty also spoke up.

They are now changing their minds.

Originally, they hoped to negotiate a peace to complete their exchange of interests, but they did not expect that the Great Xia Dynasty would not enter.

That can only be renegotiated through war.

Between the dynasties, it is impossible to give in ambiguously.

What should be fought must be fought.

"Okay, I hope that the two of you can help me a lot."

With the approval of the two dynasties, the Hun King also nodded in satisfaction.

present.

The Hun King spoke slowly.

"Pass down the king's military order."

"Drum!"

"At noon tomorrow, declare war on Great Xia."

He made a sound, very domineering.

Soon, on the border of the Huns, war drums roared like thunder.

In Tongguan City, the drums of war have already been sounded.

An hour later, the two countries officially declared war, and each sent a battle post to complete the final step.

noon tomorrow.

Show it off.
