Chapter 26: Unequal Treaties
"My slave understands!" Chen Tanxiang bowed and saluted, and then exited the prince's tent.
After Ying Ziyi returned to her tent, she didn't find Chen Tanxiang, so she started to pack up and pay homage.
As for where he went? Ying Ziyi knew even if he didn't guess.
At this time, Chen Tanxiang came in with a breakfast in her hand, and found Ying Ziyi packing up and saluting, which made her extremely frightened.
"Hou... Lord Hou, let me take care of these complicated and trivial matters!" Chen Tanxiang quickly snatched the baggage from Ying Ziyi's hand.
"Where are you going?" Ying Ziyi asked.
"I...I am going to get breakfast for the Marquis." Chen Tanxiang placed the steamed buns, a bowl of broth, and a stack of braised pork in front of Ying Ziyi.
Ying Ziyi glanced at Chen Tanxiang who was panicking and didn't dare to look up at him.
"I've eaten, you should finish all these!"
"It's time for your little girl to grow, so don't be reluctant to eat."
This caring word touched Chen Tanxiang's heart so much that tears suddenly flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Since being sold by her parents, she has not received any caring words from others for a long time.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground.
"Master Marquis, I...I went to His Highness the Crown Prince this morning? Actually...it was..."
Before Chen Tanxiang could finish her words, Ying Ziyi made a booing gesture.
"His Royal Highness asked you to go. Naturally, he has something very important to tell you. You don't need to tell me. You just need to know what you can and cannot do when you follow me."
What Ying Ziyi said was actually telling Chen Tanxiang that he knew everything the latter did.
Chen Tanxiang paused and looked at Ying Ziyi in surprise.
Perhaps, His Highness the Crown Prince still underestimated Ying Ziyi, who not only had extraordinary talent in military skills, but even the city government was unfathomable.
"I understand! From now on, I will only have the Marquis in my heart." Chen Tanxiang seemed to be showing her loyalty.
Ying Ziyi said nothing.
"Hurry up and have breakfast! Pack up and salute later, the army will start back to Xihuang County."
"yes!"
Chen Tanxiang responded.
It’s noon!
Ying Ziyi's thousands of soldiers and horses have already counted everything in the camp. It can be said that except for the few boxes of gold and silver that the imperial court rewarded him, there is actually nothing valuable in the entire military camp.
The most troublesome problem now is that if the superiors do not provide him with food and grass, how will his army be able to eat and drink?
We can only see if we can knock something out of the mouths of those families in Xihuang County.
The prince came personally to see Ying Ziyi off.
"Marquis of Zhennan, I will be waiting for you in the East Palace next year for the Wushu Competition. At that time, I will treat you to the best wine in the world." Li Zhi said with a smile on his face.
"Definitely!" Ying Ziyi clasped her fists. "Your Highness, the general has retreated!"
After that! He turned around and chased after the army.
At this time, Zhang Fu, who was on the tower, even his hands were blue.
"Ying Ziyi returned to Xihuang County, and now that she has the support of the court and the prince, she may be letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Ying Ziyi is more than just a tiger. If he cannot be suppressed, the latter can become a dragon.
"Lord, don't be anxious, even if he has great ability to win over Ziyi, it will be useless!" Zhang Shu said with deep meaning on his face.
"Why?"
"Do you think that when someone offends the Ying family, the people above can stand by and watch? Even if Ying Ziyi is killed, we don't need to take action."
Zhang Shu is indeed a poisonous man, so scheming is really terrifying.
"Haha! What a ignorant boy!" Zhang Fu laughed.
If Ying Ziyi can return to the Ying clan and get the full support of the Ying clan, then! He will indeed be wary of the latter's development in Huangzhou.
But now, he despised Ying Ziyi a little bit. The latter was simply an immature boy who couldn't even take advantage of the situation.
After Ying Ziyi left, there were negotiations between Nan Li and Daliang.
Daliang sent civil servants, and Nan Li hoped that Daliang would release their princess.
To be honest, Nanli's tens of thousands of troops will have to withdraw from Zhennanguan sooner or later after they run out of food and ammunition. Once they run out of ammunition and food, the Daliang army will counterattack, and they will undoubtedly lose.
However, even the defeated Nanli army still made excessive demands. They hoped that the Liang Dynasty could cede Nanhuang County in Huangzhou to Nanli. In this way, the two countries would have good relations and would not interfere with each other.
The most terrifying thing is that Daliang's envoy actually agreed to this request.
There is no way, what Daliang needs now is peace and recuperation. In addition, the emperor is afraid of death, so he can only accept the request of the Nanli people with this kind of humiliating and humiliating leap, in order to obtain a short-term peace between the two countries.
After burning so much of the food and fodder of the Southern Li Army, the Southern Li Army was unable to continue its northern expedition. After all! Opposite the Southern Li State, there was an extremely powerful enemy - the Northern Li State.
The bloodline of the two countries belongs to the same clan, but the strength of Northern Li is still much stronger than that of Southern Li, so! Southern Li does not dare to act recklessly for the time being.
Day three!
After receiving the news, Ying Ziyi almost fainted.
"Alas! It was obviously a victorious country, but in the end, our country was like a lost dog and signed this damn unequal treaty."
The negotiation opportunity he had worked so hard for was so easily used by the emperor.
When this news reached Huangzhou, the people of Huangzhou were all indignant. The victory they had fought for with nearly 70,000 troops was thrown away by the imperial court.
The back of the country was broken like this.
"Master Hou, the current imperial court is in a state of decay. If you place your hopes on the imperial court, I'm afraid! We are not far away from being wiped out." Xu Shang said. "Today, the feudal princes are divided. The strongest one has an army of 300,000 troops. One side is armed with armor. The prince
I can also follow the example of Qin Sangui and other princes and form separate kingdoms!"
This is Xu Shang's innermost thoughts. As the people of Daliang, they have seen through the Daliang court. Maybe! Inadvertently, the dynasty will collapse.
Ying Ziyi looked at Xu Shang in surprise, but she didn't expect that the latter could actually talk a lot about Chu.
"You are right, we must be self-sufficient and cannot place our hopes on the imperial court."
The first step into entering Xihuang County is to develop production first, and then recruit troops.
Don't talk about the world being in chaos, let's just talk about the deserted state now!
Horse thieves, bandits, and a group of rebels who want to bring chaos to the world can pose a threat to him at any time.
At this time, officials of all sizes from Xihuang County had gathered outside the gate of Xihuang City.
Wang Lan, the former governor of Xihuang County, originally did well as an official, but as a result! An imperial edict came down and his official position was taken away directly.
He is full of bitterness, who can he talk to?
"Win the word flag!"
"Lord Sheriff, here we come!"
Chapter completed!
