Dao fruit.

These words were resounding, and when those who turned the ink carefully heard it, their complexion changed, and he said: "I don't know what you want, Marquis Dingguo, but according to you, even if it is a peace talk, it is not so easy to achieve, there are still many conditions. "

"There are conditions," Qiu Yan did not hide his intentions, "but I put forward conditions like this, just to show my trust in you. Sage Mo once said that nothing is more valuable than righteousness. In view of this, I know that your The agreement is the most important thing, so I have prepared the conditions, otherwise everything will be perfunctory, and it will only be a temporary deception, not for a long time."

Hearing the words, the fine ink reader thought to himself: "Today's Tianzhizhou can be regarded as righteous, but it is not based on the scriptures and classics, but is bound by the unified will, but how can the people of this continent be motivated? Unifying the will? What kind of binding force can it have? Let’s pretend to be a snake first, and see what this person’s plan is.”

Thinking of this, the ink-turner gained some confidence, and said, "Tell me about your conditions."

"So, your Excellency can make the decision," Qiu Yan nodded, "It seems that there was a misunderstanding before. I thought you couldn't make the decision, and I wanted the Tianzhi Army to send someone who can make the decision."

Saying these words suddenly, the fine ink-turner's heart that had just settled down suddenly fluctuated again. He knew that he was beating himself, and his heart was angry, but the anger was hard to form. Qiu Yan's words just now made the emotions agitated a little out of control up.

Qiu Yan ignored the changing face of the other party, and continued: "Our conditions are simple to say, first of all, because your side crossed the border and invaded Darui's territory, there is no doubt about it, so Under the agreement of the armistice, your army will immediately withdraw from Darui."

"Huh?" The ink-turner frowned, "As far as I know, there is no trace of our army in the territory of Darui. At most, there is still a little force in the northern border, but that is not the territory of Darui either."

"Not really," Qiu Yan shook his head. "Since the Great Yan Dynasty, the Northern Xinjiang Grassland has surrendered to the Central Plains. First, Su Gong was sent as an envoy, and the statue of Su Gong was still standing on the North Sea Ice Field. The scepter he held was returned to the court by the hand of Qiu. There is also the young Marquis who granted the title of Langjuxu, and the Langshou Mountain can also be found. Dayan and Emperor even set up a boundary marker. It is named, and the name is justified. It belongs to the Central Plains Dynasty. Besides, the current grassland tribes are named after Sanshui Lord, and they all submit to the imperial court, this is a clear example, there are ancient origins, and there are examples today. It is indisputable."

"Such a statement is too much!" The ink-turner stared wide-eyed, "The grassland tribes are also known to the original ink. They clearly belong to each other, and they are not the same as the official system in the Central Plains!"

Qiu Yan listened, and smiled slightly: "It's hard to draw a good bow, but it can reach high and deep; it's hard to ride a good horse, but it can carry heavy responsibilities and go far; good talents are hard to command, but it can be respected by the king. That's why rivers don't hate small valleys. If you are full of yourself, you can be great. The words of the Mo Sheng have already made the truth very clear. There is no fixed formula for the affairs of the world, and this is the case for horse archers, let alone the government affairs of the world? It will be rejected, so it can be gathered together. The grassland and the Central Plains have different customs and customs, just like bows and horses, streams and rivers. Of course, you can’t stick to the rules. This is the source of the law.”

"This..." The ink-turner was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that from the very beginning, Qiu Yan used the words of the Mohist to talk to him.

Afterwards, he thought that the unified will could not restrain this place, so he narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Even if what you said is reasonable, we can withdraw the soldiers and horses from the grassland, other than that, what other requirements do you have?"

After the decisive battle on the northern front, Tianzhizhou has long since disappeared on the grassland, and most of the remaining troops are wandering in all directions. Even if they are let out, it will not have much impact, but it is difficult to let go of face.

"To the south of southern Xinjiang, the tribes in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are the same as the source of the five marshes, but because of your intervention, the tribes among them were killed. Many of the tribes in it sent envoys to meet with my emperor and let Darui The reason for advocating justice is nothing more than that Darui has been the suzerain of all ethnic groups in the [-] mountains in southern Xinjiang since ancient times. It is just that the mountains and forests are dense and it is not easy to organize households and people. You have to get out as soon as possible.”

"Okay! Even if what you said is reasonable, I will follow what you said!" The ink-turner still sneered, but he was thinking in his heart.

He came here this time for peace talks. Several factions in Tianzhizhou had a unified understanding of this, speculated on the conditions that Qiu Yan might propose, and drew a bottom line. Those who turn fine ink decide themselves.

However, from the perspective of a fine ink reader, as long as he can get enough rewards under the premise of the bottom line, he can show his means. That's why he used excuses to refuse at the beginning.

Now the situation is forcing him to bow his head to Qiu Yan, but he still has another plan. He is going to use a verbal agreement temporarily to buy time and open up enough space for the luck shift led by his faction. Can regain control of the initiative.

In fact, Tianzhizhou's several fronts in Donghua, which were connected with Darui, were almost completely defeated. Not to mention the collapse of the northern front, the southern front was also deadlocked and rapidly declining. Now, they can only barely maintain a front line and keep retreating. The Yunzhong City is about to retreat into the depths of the sea. Such aggression is unheard of, and there is almost no place to stand.

In such a situation, it is not surprising that Qiu Yan asked Tianzhi to withdraw from Dari's sphere of influence, it was what they expected.

With such a premise, when Qiu Yan proposed to let the Tianzhi Army withdraw from overseas and vacate part of the occupied 72 Sanxiu Island, the fine ink reader also agreed with a sneer.

Finally, the fine ink reader asked: "Apart from this, are there any other requirements? I have heard that you, Dingguohou, are very knowledgeable and interested in mechanism techniques. Many mechanism techniques of my Tianzhi , have been introduced and imitated by you, and implemented in Darui State Middle School, so there must be some content in this armistice agreement, right?"

"That's not true." Qiu Yan shook his head, "Mechanism is the essence of your side, so I have to ask for advice, but this is a category that will only be discussed after the peace talks and the two sides have truly cooperated. Putting it in the back, the terms of the peace talks between you and me, in addition to your evacuation as soon as possible, you also need to pay compensation. You invaded first, morally untenable, and caused a lot of damage to Darui. Not only the people, but also the bravery of the soldiers There are also casualties, everyone was born by their parents, since they died, they have to pay for themselves, and this compensation is used here."

"Let me pay compensation from Tianzhizhou?" The ink-turner narrowed his eyes, a little angry again, but still unable to form, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, there is no winner between you and me. If it is urgent Already, my Tianzhi army..."

"Don't scare me with war!" Qiu Yan interrupted solemnly, "Qiu is not afraid of war, and you have all seen it. Last time, you lost troops, your offensive fell apart, and you even retreated repeatedly. You will never do it again. There are exceptions, if you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!”

The fine ink reader frowned and said nothing when he heard this, and finally said: "Tianzhizhou can accept the withdrawal of soldiers and horses from the sphere of influence of Darui, but the compensation you mentioned involves the dignity of my personality in Tianzhizhou. , can’t agree easily.”

Qiu Yan sat up straight and said: "It's okay, the so-called negotiation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Today Qiu has spoken out, you can convey it back, discuss it repeatedly, and there will be a result within a few days, but we I have to remind Your Excellency that you invaded Donghua and occupied our land. I asked you to give up, but did not drive you out of Buzhou. This is to save face. Donghua Buzhou is vast, above the boundless ocean, and the barren land in the west , can settle down, with this agreement of armistice, even if Darui officially recognizes your presence in Darui, otherwise the two sides will not be able to coexist in the end."

"Coexistence..." The fine ink reader savored the word and fell into deep thought.

Next, Qiu Yan ordered the food to be served, but the people in the room were not in the mood to eat, and all the Mohist disciples left quickly. Qiu Yan didn't say much, and the banquet ended, but the people downstairs were still chatting with each other. This has nothing to do with Qiu Yan again.

One day later, Fan Yuan asked Qiu Yan for instructions, but he was puzzled again. According to his opinion of Qiu Yan, he should order the Tianzhi army to be completely expelled.

"Donghua is vast, and it will be even wider in the future, enough to swallow hundreds of rivers. Besides, Zhizhou had luck that day. They stayed and connected with other forces. It may not be a bad thing for Donghua." Qiu Yan didn't explain too much, just let Fan Just do whatever you want, and don't expect him to be an insider or spy.

This black-clothed army strategist was doing his old job on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was thinking about how to make up for his past actions. He didn't dare to ignore Qiu Yan's warning.

After being quiet for about three days, the fine ink reader finally got an answer, agreed to Qiu Yan's conditions, and then started negotiations on the cooperation of mechanism skills and Darui's dispatch of troops to Zhutuolan.

So far, Qiu Yan's main task has been completed, and he seldom comes out in person later on. Most of the time, he spends his time meditating in his room while handling official duties from the capital.

After he left, the capital really changed, but it is still roughly estimated.

"I just left, and the turmoil in the capital is considered a normal power change. It will take a while for the hidden pawns of Netherland or other forces to surface."

Looking at the information in his hand, Qiu Yan pondered, while with the other hand he stroked a crystal, in which the yin and yang artistic conception was slowly released and spread, connecting with the threads of thought in the air.

"Tomorrow we will conclude an agreement, but we need to attract a little unified will, so that we can restrain Tianzhi!" (To be continued...)
