Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 95
On May 24th, [-]th year of Tai'an, the high-profile Huaiyin negotiation was officially held. The Liang delegation and the Dongying delegation composed of Uesugi Qi, commander of the First and Second Allied Forces in Dongying, and Toshi Miyamoto, commander of the Dongying Guangling Army Cong Sanpin Xiao, met at Chenshi in the Huaiyin County Guard's Mansion.

In front of the mansion, two lines of sergeants stood, covering the sky and the earth. From the time of Mao to the present, in order to maintain public order, no less than 30 banner soldiers were successively transferred from various places in Huaiyin.

In the city, thousands of people are empty, and countless people are crowded in front of the mansion to wait for the result. Although they know that such a major negotiation will last for a few days, and it is far from being able to negotiate a result in this afternoon, they still wait persistently.The people fantasize in their hearts that the two sides will make a truce between Great Liang and Dongying because of this negotiation. People are selfish. The people in Huaiyin have not been devastated by the war, and they don't look forward to war. They don't care about the lost land in the south. Serving the country is too far away, far less practical than three meals a day.

On the table, Uesugi and Miyamoto faced the five people with calm expressions and no fear.

Yan Dong always put on airs and didn't speak. Sun Yu was a soldier, a rough guy, and said straight to the point: "Japanese, tell me your conditions. It's your choice whether to continue the war or to start the war in the future." As for the truce?Don't even think about it.

Being called "Japanese" nakedly, Miyamoto's face turned red, and he seemed to be furious, but he tried his best to restrain himself, because he knew that he was in Huaiyin now, and there were no less than [-] troops stationed in the city.

Miyamoto didn't understand, since it was a negotiation, why did Uesugi choose Huaiyin as the location?At first, Miyamoto thought that Qi Uesugi wanted to take the opportunity to steal the distribution of military facilities in Huaiyin, but after thinking about it, there was no need for it at all, why put himself in danger?

Uesugi laughed and said: "Everyone in the world says that all of Zhongzhou's iron army are men who bite nails and chew iron, people with iron bones, this statement is true."

"Shang Shanqi, I remember you, don't pretend to be foolish in front of me, saying these things are useless is a waste of each other's time, and don't try to play tricks, I'm here, with the sword at my waist and the spear in my hand, You can defeat my young master, I am suffocating in my heart, I have long wanted to find a chance to take revenge, and if I dare to be glib, I will use you as a practice gun." Sun Yu's voice was rough and carefree, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Miyamoto's face darkened.

It is rumored that Sun Yu is Lin Pojun's favorite student, with unfathomable martial arts skills, invincible among hundreds of thousands of troops, even Lin Guming can fight with Shang Shanqi evenly, it is conceivable that Sun Yu, the deputy commander of the Iron Army, is very powerful How strong.

"The governor, please calm down." Shang Shanqi still had a polite smile, and he stopped talking nonsense when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "Speaking of which, being able to capture General Lin Guming this time is considered a bargain, if it weren't for you Daliang There is a problem with the military rations distributed by the imperial court, maybe I am the one who was captured."

Sun Yu's complexion changed. When he came here, he heard a lot of rumors, but after all, it was about politics, and he was a military general who couldn't get involved. He didn't even say anything to Yan Dong, so he could only choose to keep his mouth shut.However, if the reason for Lin Guming's defeat was that there was a hole in his own camp, then this matter is intriguing.

Sun Yu took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "Get to the point."

Miyamoto was thoughtful, he knew what Uesugi was worried about.Uesugi is worried that the Zhongzhou Iron Army will fully intervene in the Wuyue War. Even if there are national thieves who are inclined to Dongying in the court, if there is a real fight, maybe Dongying can win the war at a heavy price, and will officially make Wuyue the land of Dongying from now on, but the price paid The price is heavy, which is why Shang Shanqi has been detaining Lin Guming, he cannot be killed or released.If it is released like this, Lin Guming will reorganize the allied forces, and the war is still in a state of anxiety. Uesugi wants Lin Guming to return to Beijing and stop interfering in the war between Wu and Yue. The leader of the Communist Party of China will no longer be able to turn over any storms.

"I choose to release Lin Guming unconditionally."

Uesugi's answer was beyond everyone's expectation, even Toshi Miyamoto was shocked.

"What?" Sun Yu originally wanted to embarrass Shang Shanqi severely, but when he heard the answer, he was dumbfounded.

King Wu was still the same, depressed, he couldn't see any joy or anger, as if he wasn't interested in anything.

The statement fell into deep thought.

Sun Yu and Jia Liang looked at each other, both feeling weird, if Shang Shanqi wanted to release Lin Guming unconditionally, why would he go to such lengths to negotiate?Therefore, Sun Yu's face was ashen, and he stared: "Shang Shanqi, what kind of trick are you playing?"

Uesugi smiled gently and said: "There is no trick, no matter what you think, after five days, when I return to Guangling, I will definitely release General Lin Guming."

Sun Yu stared at Shang Shanqi fiercely, trying to catch something else from his eyes, but he was disappointed, Shang Shanqi's face was unpredictable, and he couldn't see any clues.Sun Yu was surprised. Of course, he didn't think that he used force to frighten Shang Shanqi, or that it was the garrison in the city that made Shang Shanqi feel uneasy and made him unable to escape. This is absolutely impossible. There is some conspiracy.But Sun Yu couldn't see through, he didn't understand.

Yan Dong held his chin, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at Shang Shanqi's profile. This young man in his 30s can be regarded as a handsome man. It is rare to achieve such an achievement at this age, whether it is Dongying or Daliang. .Yan Dong is busy with politics and is well versed in tactics, so he can see through Shang Shanqi's purpose at a glance.

Asking for money and food is too superficial.

Uesugi spent a lot of time to come up with the well-known "Huaiyin Negotiations", but it took away the backbone and backbone that Lin Guming was so proud of.

Lin Guming was extremely proud of himself. He personally led an army of 80 to attack the Japanese pirates, but he caused hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fall into the sand, and he was captured. This is a great shame. How will he lead troops to fight in the future?Although, Lin Guming knew that the reason for the defeat was the military rations of the imperial court, and it was spies from his own camp.It is conceivable that now that Shang Shanqi unconditionally releases Lin Guming, if word spreads, people will only say that Shang Shanqi is under pressure from the Zhongzhou Tiejun. If Lin Guming is not Lin Guming, but another general, he would have He was beheaded, which was to nail him to the pillar of shame, and he would no longer be qualified to lead the Allied forces.Uesugi made it clear that he played a conspiracy to make Lin Guming a laughing stock and the laughing stock of the world. It is expected that after this time, Lin Guming would return to the capital with disgrace, and even be relieved of his military post.Moreover, because there is a traitor in the court secretly manipulating the court's military rations, the commander-in-chief will definitely investigate to the end, and there will be political fights in the capital.

but.

Negotiations continued all afternoon.

Five days later.

The two parties fully signed the agreement, the details of which were not made public to the outside world. Uesugi released Lin Guming. This incident was known as the "Huaiyin Alliance" in history.

After Lin Guming was released and returned, Sun Yu inspected his injuries and found that there was no serious injury, no bones were injured, and Wutu was saved.King Wu offered to go back to Beijing for investigation, so he set off with Yan Dong and his party. When King Wu left, all the soldiers and even the people who followed from Guangling and other places cried bitterly to persuade them to stay.

……

Outside Runzhou City.

The station of the Northern Allied Forces and the large tent of the Chinese Army.

The news that the defeated general Lin Guming and Wu Wang Murong Sheng were extradited back to Beijing for interrogation reached Yanchang's ears. Yanchang was overjoyed and immediately ordered his subordinates to kill chickens and sheep, and eat and drink with their stomachs open.

"General, after this battle, he, Lin Guming, is afraid that he will abandon his army and leave the literary world. He will wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops, and he will surely become the laughing stock of the world." The lieutenant flattered and apologized.

Yan Chang sat in the main seat, held the wine bottle, drank it in one gulp, very happy: "It's right to be a laughing stock, Lin Guming left, the allied forces fell apart, it was the time when our Snow Nation's troops rose, and those who came from the south Soldiers and horses are nothing but grass, and it doesn't matter which way the wind blows, they will fall, just look at it like this, whether it is his Western Regions army that is stronger, or my snow country Yanyun iron cavalry is braver."

The lieutenant general hesitated: "But...General, Lin has left alone, who should control the court's food and salary?"

Yan Chang glared at him.

The deputy general sneered, stepped back quickly, and said in panic, "It's the last general who made a slip of the tongue. You are a member of the royal family, so naturally you should take control."

"That's wrong. The Dongfang Clan, king of the Western Regions, like my Yan Clan, dates back more than 400 years and is also a royal family with the surname Ji. Who should control and distribute the military rations is subject to debate."

Just as the two were arguing endlessly over this topic, a sergeant hurried into the big tent of the barracks, walked to the center, knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully: "General, the news from the front line, the Zhongzhou delegation is in the suburbs of Beiguan, Huaiyin. Assassinated, Uesugi was assassinated in the southern suburbs of Huaiyin on his way home, and was seriously injured."

"Ok?"

Yan Chang was taken aback.

Uesugi was assassinated, and the Zhongzhou delegation was also assassinated?

What's happening here?
