The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 539
The news that the current road was blocked spread throughout the army, and everyone was going crazy.The shadow of death suddenly enveloped the crowd, making people almost suffocated.

At this moment, a message began to spread, and quickly spread to the entire army.The news is that General Dennis and General Wumeng are prepared to surrender to the enemy for the safety of the entire army, so as to save everyone's lives.

In this regard, some radical soldiers clamored that they would rather die than surrender, and wanted to gather all the soldiers to question the commander.But they found that the surrounding soldiers were not infected by their passion, but looked at them very indifferently, motionless.

Some people immediately realized what everyone was thinking and knew that this forced palace would never work, so they quickly chose to withdraw and quietly stayed away from those radical people.

At this moment, a general drew out his saber, pointed at those stubborn people and shouted: "Come here, arrest these people who disturb the morale of the army."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward and captured those shouting people.

Following the rectification of the various ministries, the whole army was no different from each other, and all gathered together according to Dennis' order, waiting to surrender.

At this time, Dennis had already sent people to the Hengshan Army to discuss the matter of surrender.

After negotiations, Hou Mingfeng agreed to Dennis' request that the Hengshan Army would treat the soldiers of the coalition forces well as long as the coalition forces surrendered.As long as the negotiations with the two countries are successful, 40 people will be released and returned to China immediately.

Although they only received a personal promise from the commander-in-chief of the Hengshan Army, everyone has doubts about it.But now, there is no other choice.Dennis had no choice but to bite the bullet and ordered the entire army to disarm and wait for the Hengshan Army to take over.

Soon, the Hengshan army's large formation slowly advanced, and came in front of hundreds of thousands of troops.Behind the formation, two hundred cannons followed closely behind, firing at any time.

Hou Mingfeng picked up the binoculars, looked at the coalition soldiers who had removed their armor and weapons one by one in front of them, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Immediately, according to the agreement, the soldiers of the coalition army lined up one after another, with their hands raised high, they came to the front of the Hengshan formation.After being inspected by the soldiers of the Hengshan Army, a passage was opened to allow him to pass through the army formation and bring him back to Tianji Pass for guarding.

When rows of captives entered the Hengshan army formation, they saw the powerful artillery at a glance.Dozens of densely packed cannons were seen with their barrels raised up, and the black muzzles pointed directly at the sky.

This is the artillery?The captives stared wide-eyed, looking at these cannons in awe, it was it, which destroyed their own army of 50, and finally made themselves and others prisoners.

After receiving all the prisoners, the remaining Hengshan Army immediately began digging earth and rocks to open up the blocked road.

After several hours of hard work, the landslide was finally cleared, revealing the dark group of cavalry on the opposite side.

Back at Tianji Pass, Chen Rui, Yan Shu, and Murong Tan all saluted Hou Mingfeng who was waiting for them at the gate, "General, the last general did not disgrace his order and successfully completed the mission."

"Haha, you have done a good job, far better than I imagined. You are the first to win this battle." Hou Mingfeng laughed and looked at the three of them, and nodded in relief.

When the three of them heard this, they were immediately overwhelmed with excitement. They were not only happy for the completion of the task, but also excited for the general's affirmation. "I'm waiting for the general's praise."

"Okay, this is not a place to talk. You are already exhausted. Go ahead and rest for a day. Tomorrow, I will clean up the dust for you." Hou Mingfeng patted them on the shoulder when he saw them covered in dust and exhausted. , Urging them to enter the customs.

The next day, Hou Mingfeng specially held a dust-cleaning feast for the [-] cavalry marching westward, rewarding the whole army with good wine and meat.At the banquet, Hou Mingfeng specially invited high-ranking officers of the coalition army who were captives to come to the banquet.

When Hou Mingfeng specially introduced the four people from Xijin, the expressions of Dennis and the others couldn't help but become complicated. If it wasn't for them, he and the others wouldn't have become prisoners.

On the contrary, Rawls, when he heard that Murong Tan and Yan Shu were the two commanders who defeated him, he immediately raised his wine glass, came to them, and said respectfully, "Your Excellencies, I was defeated by you! Rawls, Governor of Sal. The battle you gave me will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. I am convinced that I lost, and I would like to present this wine to you."

After translating, Murong Tan and the others realized that the fat man in front of them turned out to be an enemy they had worked so hard to defeat.With recognition of his ability, the two quickly stood up and drank with him.

With Rawls' demonstration, the atmosphere of the whole scene finally eased down, and they drank and mingled with each other, just like friends.

When the drink was in full swing, Dennis stood up and bowed slightly to Hou Mingfeng, "Dear General, thank you for keeping your promise and treating our soldiers well. Now that the war is over, I don't know how the General plans to negotiate with our country and strive for mutual benefits for both sides. Satisfying result?"

After listening to the translation, Hou Mingfeng couldn't help smiling, "Don't worry, General Dennis, this is a very important matter, and I can't decide it alone. I still need to report it to my lord and send diplomatic envoys to discuss it."

"Oh, then when will the negotiations between the two countries be held?" Dennis asked hastily, frowning slightly.

"It won't start until the spring of next year at least." Hou Mingfeng made a little calculation and said with a smile.

"Next year?" Dennis muttered, and continued to ask, "Your Excellency, I heard that your army is in the Western Regions and is being attacked by the Golden Werewolf. the way, that..."

"Haha, General Dennis is worrying too much." Hearing this, Hou Mingfeng couldn't help laughing, "The Xijin werewolf is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it can't jump for a few days. After the end of this war, it will be our army's counterattack." Time. From now on, the Western Regions will all be owned by me, Hengshan. In the future, we will have deeper exchanges with you and the other two countries. We, Hengshan, have always followed the policy of not infringing on others. I hope that your country can make a wise choice, and don’t repeat the same mistakes. yes."

Dennis' face was slightly cold, and he nodded silently.

"By the way, I heard that there are many children of nobles in your army. I don't know if it's true?" Hou Mingfeng looked at the prisoner with deep meaning in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency General?" Wu Meng looked at him vigilantly. At this time, his wealth and life were all tied to the noble children in the army, so he dared not let them suffer the slightest harm.

"Haha, General Wumeng misunderstood." Hou Mingfeng laughed, "The reason why I asked about this is actually to make a deal with the nobles."

"Deal? What deal?" Wu Meng still refused to believe it, and asked cautiously, while the rest of the people also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Well, it's nothing to tell you." Hou Mingfeng smiled slightly. "My lord once told me that the purpose of opening up the Western Regions this time is to open up business routes and create a road of wealth that connects the East and the West. Therefore, we I want to use the power of the nobles of the two countries to jointly create a trade channel between the East and the West."

"You want us to let go of the trade routes from the western countries to the east?" Rawls, as a feudal official with a combination of civil servants and generals, immediately understood Hou Mingfeng's intentions.

"That's right." Hou Mingfeng looked at Rawls appreciatively, "Your two countries lie on the passage between the East and the West, which greatly limits the exchanges between the Western countries and our Central Plains, and at the same time keeps away wealth. Besides, it would be better to let go of business and let the wealth of the East and the West circulate, which is completely beneficial to you and has no harm at all."

When everyone heard the words, they all fell into deep thought.

Hou Mingfeng heaved a sigh of relief. He memorized the business plan sent by Jin Jiuyuan for a long time overnight before he knew his intentions.At this time, I took it out and told everyone to listen, just to explore the way and see if it is feasible.
