The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 140 As long as it is fair
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yuxue sent envoys to negotiate a peace. Hou Jingyuan was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately led people to welcome the envoys in.It has been so long since Mo Yun founded the country, there are not many times when other countries can take the initiative to propose peace.But now that the Jingyuan Army has only 3 horses, it is naturally the best not to go to war.

Yuxue's envoy was Prime Minister Zhang's cousin, Zhang Zichen, a minister of the Ministry of War, a man in his fifties who was well-maintained and chubby.It's just that although this person came to discuss peace, he was arrogant, and in front of Jing Yuanhou, he looked more like the one who had won the battle.

Negotiating a peace usually requires both parties to have the intention, at least first the monarch agrees, and then the parties send ministers to negotiate. Of course, the ministers will determine the general conditions before coming, at least the people who negotiate will know the range of fluctuations. where.Then the requesting party has to show its sincerity first, and propose the amount or amount of compensation for gold, silver, grain, grass, etc., and then the party that wins the battle starts to bargain until the two parties reach a preliminary consensus on the compensation. If it is too big, the envoys of the two countries can confirm the signing of the peace treaty.

Qianzong entrusted Yun Yuhong to handle all the war affairs, so Yun Yuhong had to decide this matter, but Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu went to the military camp outside the city to visit some children early in the morning, so Jing Yuanhou invited Zhang Zichen in first, and Talk to Zhang Zichen as the person in charge to start the conversation.

Zhang Zichen was actually the main fighter in Yuxue Country. After the second prince returned to Yuxue, he insisted on crusade against Mo Yun, making Mo Yun pay the price for humiliating him.Lord Yuxue obviously also had the intention of going to Mo Yun, so he sent Jiang Rui to lead the army.It's just that who would have thought that although the battle went smoothly at the beginning, the 20 army was wiped out almost instantly when the ghost king made a move.

The news of the defeat in the battlefield shocked Yuxue's government and the public, and the ministers were naturally divided into two factions. One faction took the lead in the battle, led by the second and fifth princes.There is a faction of peace, dominated by the three princes and some civil servants.The result of the original discussion was that the main combat faction gained the upper hand, and the Lord Yuxue originally decided to send Jiang Ruizhen's father, Jiang Houye, to lead another 20 troops to attack Mo Yun.It's just that Jiang Ruizhen came back suddenly, saying that the ghost king had let him go. As for why the ghost king let him go and why he didn't let others go, Jiang Ruizhen's statement was not convincing.For a while, people's eyes on the Jiang family became erratic, and some privately speculated that the ghost king might have some unspeakable friendship with the Jiang family.This actually made Monarch Yuxue dispel the idea of ​​sending Lord Jiang Hou to send troops.

Of course Lord Yuxue also heard the news of the defeat of several other countries, and when he heard that Zeyu Kingdom hadn't moved yet, he changed his mind and thought that he could play the trick of praying mantis catching cicada and the oriole behind.He pretended to seek peace first, avoiding the edge of the ghost king. The ghost king is very powerful, so he asked her to fight against other countries, and waited until her strength was almost exhausted before making a move. cloud.Therefore, he sent Zhang Zichen, a minister who was not in favor of peace, to discuss peace matters.

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu got along very sweetly these two days, and they were inseparable all day long, envious of others.Today, they heard that there was a ring in the Yunxiang Army, and the two of them thought of those children who were thrown in and never asked about it. They felt a little guilty, so they came to see them specially, and watched the excitement by the way.This time, a few children went up to fight early, not to mention, the hardships of the past two years have not been in vain, at least ten rounds can still stand on the stage, so that the generals have to look at these children differently Of course, some people have to admit that the centurion in the ghost king's army is indeed well-deserved.

Seeing the performance of these children, General Wu was so happy from ear to ear, he shouted to the audience: "Don't you usually think that you are very good, no matter how you can't beat a few children, you are not ashamed, come up again!" A few, if they can’t win, they will all have two hours of extra training today.”

The soldiers below also tried their best to defeat a few of them. After all, they ate more salt than these children.

Yun Yuhong was quite satisfied watching the crowd cheering.Originally a miscellaneous army was integrated by General Wu and General Gao in a few days, but now they get along well, at least the morale is there. As for combat power and experience, time is probably too late, so I can only go to the battlefield hone.

The two originally planned to have a good chat with the children after the fight was over, but the cheapskate rushed over.He came to help Mr. Ning to spread the word, Yuxue sent envoys to negotiate a peace, and judging from the meaning of Jing Yuanhou, he also tended to negotiate a peace.

Yun Yuhong frowned when she heard this, she didn't care about things these few days, she wanted to spend a few days with Bai Ziyu, but some people forgot who was in charge, how dare they not discuss such a big matter with her first After deciding, it seems that she will die if she doesn't make a move.Looking at Bai Ziyu, she saw that he was also looking at her tenderly, but the disappointment could not be concealed in her eyes, which made her feel a monstrous anger towards Jing Yuanhou in her heart.

Riding back to the mansion with people on horseback, Yun Yuhong stopped the person who wanted to report, and walked directly into the hall with Bai Ziyu, just in time to hear Zhang Zichen saying in an arrogant tone: "The conditions I gave are already Bottom line, if you don’t come from here, then we’ll see you on the battlefield, you must know that even though our country proposed peace, it’s only because of the kindness of our country’s monarch, and if we don’t see the people suffer, it’s not like we can’t beat you.”

Yun Yuhong was so angry that he couldn't help but shouted: "Even if you want to negotiate peace, you should show the attitude of negotiating peace. If you can't beat us, isn't the fact already there?"

Seeing Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu walking in, Marquis Jingyuan stood up from his seat. In terms of official rank, he is lower than the ghost king, and this rule must be followed. Yun Yuhong didn't even look at Marquis Jingyuan, and directly Walked to the main seat and sat down.Hou Jingyuan's face was ugly but it was not easy to get angry, so he had to ask someone to move the chair again.

Zhang Zichen sized up this domineering yet very young woman. This should be the famous Ghost King.The momentum is not weak, but it is too young, and it is not sophisticated enough in dealing with things, it is still a little tender, not enough.Asked: "Your Excellency must be the ghost king?"

Yun Yuhong ignored him, but picked up the paperwork on the table and read, "Yuxue compensates 10 taels of silver and 10,000 dans of grain and grass. Mo Yun needs to release the captured Yuxue generals and soldiers. That's it." ? Yuxue suddenly attacked my three cities, killed two of my [-]+ soldiers, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people without an explanation? Just pay this little compensation?"

Zhang Zichen said indifferently: "Our side has suffered heavy losses. It is the best of humanity for us to take the initiative to back down."

Yun Yuhong laughed angrily, "Benevolence is at the limit of righteousness? The peace between the two countries is the grace of your Yuxue country. Where did you Yuxue put me, Moyun?"

Yun Yuhong threw the document in his hand on the ground, and Marquis Jingyuan continued: "I also think that Yuxue's compensation is too little, and I hope Mr. Zhang will discuss it with your monarch after returning."

Yun Yuhong really wanted to hit a wall against the wall this time, she forgot that there was another Jing Yuanhou who was holding her back.Ignore the words of Marquis Jingyuan, whether it is war or peace is not up to him to decide.But before that, she must speak clearly.

Zhang Zichen was still calm, and said with a bit of arrogance: "Don't you just want more money, this is the limit, I don't need to ask, there will be no more, you have to think about it."

Yun Yuhong patted the table and said: "It's not about money, and I, Mo Yun, are not someone you can spend money on. I still want to seek justice from you, Yuxue. Last time, I wanted your country to be the daughter of Aunt Yuxiang." Give me an explanation, but your country has never answered. Now your country suddenly sent troops to attack Mo Yun, and did not give an explanation. If you lose the war, give some money to smooth everything out. Whether it is a war or a war, it is all up to you Does the country have the final say? You'd better remember to me that you, Yuxue, are the one who is defeated now, and you alone have the final say on whether to fight or not. If you want to stop the war, you should explain these two things clearly to me. I don't need compensation, but I must be fair."

Zhang Zichen was stunned for a while, and then he felt that the ghost king was difficult to deal with, but his words were reasonable, making it impossible to refute for a while, this ghost king was much more difficult to deal with than Jing Yuanhou.But will Mo Yun really take the initiative to start a war with Yuxue?There are only 10,000+ troops here, and I haven't heard that the ghost king is mobilizing troops, so the possibility of fighting is unlikely.The ghost king is so aggressive, but in the end it still falls on more compensation.

Zhang Zichen finally said seriously: "Since our country proposes a peace negotiation, it is naturally sincere. Yuxue made the move only because of the momentary anger about the second prince. As for the matter about Princess Yuxiang, it is because of the jealousy among the women in the inner house. It is really unnecessary Put it between the two countries."

Bai Ziyu sneered and said, "Emperor Aunt Yuxiang is also a princess of a country. I really don't know which woman dares to attack the princess. What she insulted was not a prince and concubine, but she didn't care about my Moyun country at all." Here, how can you just say that you are fighting for favor among women. At least, you have to return to your monarch and hand over the relevant people to our country. "

Zhang Zichen was startled, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's impossible. His Majesty will arrange how to punish our country. Those are all famous ladies in our country. How can I leave it to you." .

Yun Yuhong said: "Then there's no need to talk about it. Mr. Zhang hasn't greeted me since he came in. It's too rude, but I can't let you go back without giving some gifts. Somebody, give him I pulled it down and beat the [-]th board again, and then coaxed it out."

Zhang Zichen became anxious now, and shouted: "Don't you dare, I am Yuxue's envoy, you will hurt Yuxue's face if you beat me, don't even try to ask for peace, you will regret it..."

Seeing that the two of them were having a stagnant conversation, Jing Yuanhou wanted to stop them, but Bai Ziyu held him back. A few soldiers stepped forward and dragged the yelling Zhang Zichen down. After a while, the sound of boards and cries came from the yard. Voice.
