Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were both literati. They had never encountered such a battle before. Before they saw Tang Yin, just by seeing the Feng Army's formation, the two of them were frightened and felt chills in their hearts and chills in their backs.
Wind, when walking, the muscles in the calf straighten.
At this time, a military general wearing black armor came forward and stood in front of the two men. The general looked at the two men, curled his mouth and asked, "Are you two envoys of Ningguo?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Your subordinate Shi Tinghan (Qin Yi), do you know the general's surname?" Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi bowed politely.
The general did not answer, but snorted coldly, and said sideways: "Your Majesty has invited me, you two come with me!" As he spoke, the general walked out first.
Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi looked at each other and hurriedly caught up, following closely behind the general.
The further you go inside the Feng Camp, the more soldiers there are around you. When you get closer to the central military tent, there are fewer soldiers here, but everywhere you look you see more powerful personal guards of the king. There must be countless of these guards.
There are more than a thousand people, not only tall and tall, but also full of glory, eyes sparkling, magnificent momentum, dense red tassels overwhelming the sky, it is really spectacular.
I don’t know if it was done deliberately, but when the guards saw Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi, people fired their rifles and shields together and shouted in unison: "Wind! Wind! Wind——"
The sudden sound of the shield being struck was earth-shaking, and the shouts were deafening. Shi Tinghan and Tan were unprepared. They were so frightened that they shivered, their bodies trembled, and they almost sat on the ground on the spot. The two of them did not dare to speak, and they were not even able to speak.
Not daring to take a breath, he lowered his head, hunched his shoulders, and his breasts under his official uniform were almost soaked with cold sweat.
Seeing how frightened they were, the general who led the way looked down upon them from the bottom of his heart. When they reached the tent, he didn't even look back and said coldly: "You two wait here for a while." As he spoke,
He strode into the Chinese military tent, came to Tang Yin, bowed deeply and respectfully, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Ningguo envoy has arrived." After saying that, he added in a low voice: "Looks like a soft persimmon."
Tang Yin smiled indifferently, nodded slightly, and raised his head to signal. The general noticed, turned around and shouted loudly outside the tent: "Your Majesty has invited an envoy from Ning State!"
Hearing the call from inside the tent, Shi and Qin gulped secretly. They looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they took a step and walked into the central military tent with small steps.
Under the handsome case, both of them knelt down on the ground, kowtowed forward with a great ceremony, and at the same time bravely said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ning Guo Honglu Cheng Shi Tinghan (Qin Yi), kowtow to His Highness the Wind King!"
Although Feng and Ning are at war, they are still vassal states under the Haotian Empire. When the ministers of Ning see the monarch of Feng, according to etiquette, they should treat themselves as ministers and bow to each other. Shi, Tan
Both of them hold the official position of Honglucheng and are engaged in diplomacy themselves. In terms of diplomatic etiquette, they are extremely proficient.
Tang Yinan sat on the collapse, smiling and squinting his eyes, looking at the two of them, and did not speak for a long time. He did not speak, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi did not dare to move, and kept kowtowing. I don't know how long it took.
, Tang Yin finally said: "It turns out to be Master Shi and Master Qin, please wake up!"
"Thank you, His Highness the Wind King!" the two said in unison.
"Take a seat." Tang Yin waved his hand, and the guards on both sides immediately came forward, brought over two mats, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
After both of them sat down, Tang Yin asked: "I heard that you two are here to discuss peace?"
"Yes, King Feng!" Shi Tinghan cupped his hand and said, "Now Feng and Ning are fighting, and both sides have suffered losses. King Ning is worried that the war will continue, and the people in the east of the river will be in ruins, and the people will be in dire straits, so he sent his ministers and two others to pay homage.
King Feng, discuss the matter of peace between the two countries!"
The serious look on Shi Tinghan's face when he spoke didn't seem like an act, but Tang Yin still didn't quite believe that Ningguo was sincerely negotiating peace. He chuckled softly, rolled his eyes at the same time, pondered for a moment, and asked casually: "
Does General Yuanhong also agree with the peace negotiation?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin would suddenly ask about the eldest son Yuanhong. Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi's expressions changed. They were dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. After being stunned for a moment, Shi Tinghan laughed dryly, nodded and said: "Yuanhong."
General Hong also supports the negotiation of peace between the two countries."
The reactions of Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi had already made Tang Yin suspicious. When he heard that Changsun Yuanhong agreed to negotiate for peace, he became even more suspicious. With Changsun Yuanhong's personality, I am afraid that even if there are only one soldier and one general left, he will not agree to negotiate for peace.
Well, not to mention he just won a big victory!
Tang Yin sneered at Shi Tinghan's words. He narrowed his eyes, looked directly at Shi Tinghan, and asked in a solemn voice: "Seriously?"
Under Tang Yin's sharp gaze like a knife, Shi Tinghan felt as if he was sitting naked in front of him without any clothes. It seemed that Tang Yin could see through any mood. He stammered: "When...
Of course! Of course General Yuanhong also agrees to negotiate peace."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. Neither of these two envoys seemed to be deep-minded people in the city. They didn't seem to have seen much of the world. If Ning Guo's peace talks were fake and he had other agendas, he would never send such people here, but I heard
The other party's hesitating tone seemed to have some hidden meaning.
While Tang Yin was thinking about it secretly, Shi Tinghan took out a document from his arms, handed it to Tang Yin respectfully, and said: "This is the peace treaty between the two countries personally approved by King Ning. Please take a look at it."
Oh? Ning Guo even drafted a peace treaty, which is quite interesting. Tang Yin raised his hand slightly. Shangguan Yuan Biao, who was standing behind him, stepped forward, took the peace treaty, and then passed it to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin unfolded the peace treaty and looked down at it. The main content of the peace treaty was that Ning Guo first apologized for sending troops to Feng State, and then summarized the harms of the conflict between the two countries in a long speech. Only at the end did he propose that he was willing to cede Hedong County to Feng State.
, and compensated for the losses caused by the Ning army's invasion of Feng State.
Here, Ning Guo did not say that it was forced to make compensation because of its defeat. Of course, this was also the Ning Guo court's reason to take care of its own face.
The amount of compensation is also detailed above. It is one hundred thousand taels of gold, five million taels of silver, five million pieces of silk, and five million pieces of silk. If these are all converted into silver, the total will be almost 2,500.
Ten thousand taels.
Such a huge amount may be a drop in the bucket for Ning Guo, but for Feng Guo, this is a huge amount of money.
When Tang Yin looked at the peace treaty, everyone in the big tent was looking at him eagerly. Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi naturally hoped that Tang Yin would not add other conditions, and it would be best to agree immediately, and all the generals of Feng Kingdom were
Curious about the contents of the peace treaty, they all stretched their necks and looked at the peace treaty in Tang Yin's hand without blinking.
After carefully reading the peace treaty from beginning to end, Tang Yin immediately judged that this peace treaty was drafted with great effort by the Ningguo court. It was mentioned more than once that Hedong County was ceded to Fengguo rather than returned.
Written, obviously to pave the way for retaking Hedong in the future.
This peace treaty can be described as a painstaking effort. Does Ning Guo really want to negotiate a peace with him? Tang Yin slowly put down the peace treaty and raised his eyes to look at Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi. Seeing Tang Yin's eyes cast towards him, Shi and Tan's hearts immediately
When he raised his throat, his body tensed up. Shi Tinghan asked cautiously: "I wonder if His Highness, King Feng, is dissatisfied with this peace treaty? Do you accept our country's peace negotiation?"
Tang Yin smiled and did not answer the question immediately, but said: "Master Shi, I have to think about this matter again."
"Yes, yes, it is a very important matter. King Feng should really consider it carefully. However, both Feng and Ning are big countries. If they continue to be consumed for a long time, no matter who loses or wins, it will be of no benefit to each other. Instead, it will give the country an opportunity to take advantage of it."
, so I hope Wind King will think twice!" Shi Tinghan said seriously.
"Haha -" Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and said: "I have taken note of Master Shi's words." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said: "Prepare wine and food! Master Shi and Master Qin are rare guests, and they travel far away.
Come, I will accompany you two to have a few drinks today."
"Oh! His Royal Highness Feng Wang is too polite." Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi stood up in a hurry and gave Tang Yin a deep salute.
Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down. He smiled and said: "Since we want to negotiate peace, we are a family, so there is no need to be too polite."
"Yes, yes, yes! What the Feng King said is absolutely true!" Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi looked at each other, feeling relieved. Before they came, they had always heard people say that Tang Yin was vicious and cruel. Now that they can see each other,
It seems to be the complete opposite. Not only is he handsome, he is also very peaceful.
After a short time, the guards moved small tables one by one and placed them in front of the generals, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi. Then, the food and drinks were served one by one.
Tang Yin got a glass of wine, picked up the cup, looked at the stone, and the two of them smiled and said: "You two adults have come all the way to our camp, and you have worked hard all the way. I respect you both!" After speaking, Tang Yin shook the cup and said,
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Tang Yin was the king, so he drank all the wine first. Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi didn't dare to neglect. They hurriedly picked up the wine glasses, leaned over and said, "Thank you, King Feng!" After saying that, they also drank the wine in the glasses.
.
Fengjiu is different from Ningjiu. The former is much spicier and stronger than the latter. Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi drank a glass in one go. What they drank felt more like a knife than wine.
The pungency of the wind wine rushed from their stomachs to their foreheads, and in just an instant, their faces turned red.
Tang Yin poured another glass of wine and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Prince Ning's peace negotiation is very sincere. I have also considered it carefully. I can accept the peace negotiation!"
Hearing this, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were both refreshed and looked at Tang Yin with bright eyes. Before they could speak, Tang Yin continued: "It's just the amount of compensation..."
"It's easy to negotiate! The amount of compensation is easy to negotiate. As long as His Highness the Wind King's request is not excessive, our country will accept it!" Shi Tinghan promised impatiently.
