Inside Nanping City, outside the temporary Governor's Mansion.
The envoy of the State of Qi heard the scene and stood solemnly at the foot of the stone steps with his hands down, and behind him stood several guards leading horses.
Wen Jing glanced at the Han army on the stone steps, and his face looked slightly better.
Although Nanping City was in chaos, the people were still in good health. There were constant sounds of chickens and dogs, and no corpses of the people were seen.
This shows that the Han army did not massacre in the city.
Compared with the Yingte people, the Han army can be said to be an army of benevolence and righteousness. This will be a big trouble for the Qi people.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother couldn't see clearly who was the real enemy. She actually wanted to start a war with the Yingte people and cross the river with the Han army for her own selfish purposes.
"Master Wen, my commander-in-chief invites you to come in."
The guard who communicated came out of the mansion and spoke politely to Wen Jing.
Wen Jing thanked the guards and then entered the Governor's Mansion. Under the guidance of a guard, he headed towards the main hall.
Seeing that everything in the house was no different from when the Qi army withdrew, Wen Jing felt a little lucky in his heart. This Han general should have a good character and not be a murderer.
Entering the main hall, Wen Jing saw the general after the handsome case. He was not angry and proud. On both sides sat the generals and lieutenants in crimson lake and green uniforms, all looking at him with amused faces.
Wen Jing cupped his fists and saluted: "The foreign minister Wen Jing has seen the commander-in-chief."
Su Lu nodded: "What's the matter with Mr. Wen?"
Wen Jing reached out and took the certificate of credence from the attendant behind him, and presented it with both hands.
"Commander Commander, please take a look at it. This is the peace negotiation document of our Qi State. I want to make Qi Han a good friend with the Han State."
Su Lu threw his credentials on the handsome case and said with a smile on his face:
"If my guess is correct, Mr. Wen probably didn't know about our Han army's defeat of Yingte and your coalition forces before he came. If your country knew the news, this document would definitely not be written like this."
Wen Jing's face became solemn and he said seriously: "The commander-in-chief is wrong. Even if the princes at court know about this defeat, this document will still say this. Giving up the north of Luojiang River is the greatest sincerity of our Qi State.
.”
"If the Commander-in-Chief has an extravagant request, please forgive Wen Jing Zan Yue. The Commander-in-Chief is too greedy."
"How presumptuous. You, a mere foreign minister, dare to say such things about my commander-in-chief. I don't want to live anymore."
Zhao Wu jumped out, pulled out the steel knife, his face was full of arrogance, and the tip of the knife was pointed at Wen Jing.
Wen Jing's expression did not change and he continued talking.
"From here to Luojiang, there are still more than three hundred miles and twelve cities. If the general attacks them one by one, think about it, general, how many Han people will be killed in the battle?"
"Although our Qi people are dull, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if we stand and let your army kill them, how long will your army take to kill them?"
Wen Jing said neither humble nor arrogantly, his face full of pride.
Zhao Wu was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Roda snorted coldly: "Master Wen, you are not here because of the defeat of the coalition forces yesterday. There must be other reasons. Let me think about it, your country must have opened up a new battlefield elsewhere, otherwise you would not follow me like this.
It’s too much to ask for peace.”
Wen Jing's expression changed, and he looked at Roda with fear in his eyes. This man's eyesight was really accurate. Sure enough, Su Lu's subordinates all had two skills.
Wen Jing sighed and turned to Su Lu.
"Commander Wen Jing is here. If the negotiation with the Commander is concluded, then Wen Jing will be an eternal sinner of our Qi country. This concession is really impossible."
"To say that I am not very loyal to my duty, I heard that I was hoping that you would not agree."
Wen Jing looked ugly and spoke in a deep voice.
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but after signing the treaty, your army must immediately retreat to the south bank of the Qingjiang River, and it is not allowed to take the people with it. Your army's military discipline is too bad. If you dare to take the people with you, don't blame Dakai."
Stop killing."
Wen Jing's expression changed, he sighed, took the two brochures from the attendant behind him, and presented them with both hands.
"These are the terms of the Luo-Jiang Treaty drawn up by Hanlin of the State of Qi. I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to review it. If there are no major problems, the Commander-in-Chief will sign it."
"After the treaty is signed, our Qi army will immediately go south. The people will definitely not take the package with them. They still have new military affairs to do."
Su Lu picked up the Luojiang Treaty, read it carefully, and signed his name on it.
The terms of the Luojiang Treaty were very loose and tight. The only restriction on the Han army was not to cross the Luojiang River, otherwise it would be a violation of the treaty, and Qi had the right to take back the cities north of the Luojiang River.
I really don’t know what the emperor of Qi was thinking about ceding the north of Luo River to Han. In order not to go to war with Qi, he actually came up with such a clause. It seems that the opponent of the Qi people is very unusual.
Wen Jing also signed the contract, put away one copy, and then presented the other one to Su Lu.
"Commander Commander, our Qi army has begun to withdraw. The Commander-in-Chief will just send troops to take over these cities."
Su Lu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Wen Jing: "What do you mean, Mr. Wen?"
Wen Jing finally had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "So that the commander-in-chief will know that I have issued an edict to the Queen Mother, ordering the garrison north of the Luo River to set off immediately to the south bank of the Luo River, with King Qin escorting them."
Su Ping next to him jumped up: "Even if we don't sign this treaty, the north bank of the Luo River will still belong to our Han Kingdom!"
"Here, he made his treaty and captured it."
Su Ping shouted.
Wen Jingchang bowed his head to the ground and said in a teasing tone: "This should be Governor Su Ping. Governor Su used two armies to guard Nanping and blocked the two Yingte phalanxes.
Wan Dajun is worthy of being a famous general under Prince Su."
Su Ping's face lit up when he heard this, he let go of the hand holding the knife, rubbed his hands and asked.
"Hahaha, I, Su Ping, am also so famous?"
Wen Jing said with a smile: "Of course, after the battle of Nanping, General Su's reputation spread throughout the land of Qi. How many girls dreamed of General Su Ping looking like him."
Su Ping was even happier and couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
Su Lu walked out from behind Shuai's case, "Let's go, I'll see Lord Wen off. Lord Wen signed the treaty, and I don't have the mood to stay anymore. Why don't I see Lord Wen off."
Hearing Jing Chang bowed to the ground and said in a sweet voice: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."
The two of them left the Governor's Mansion side by side. Su Lu asked, "Sir Wen, Su grew up in the North and has many questions about your country's national structure. Why is your country not headed by your Majesty, but by the Queen Mother?"
Wen Jing's face turned a little ugly, and he spoke: "Captain Mingjian, our country has been under the supervision of the Queen Mother since the death of the late Emperor, and His Majesty was young. Now the Queen Mother is in charge of the government, and all military and national affairs are decided by the Queen Mother."
Su Lu nodded, she really looked like the old lady Cixi.
"It's too much for your country to sign the Luo-Jiang Treaty with Han. It's too much to just give up hundreds of miles of land north of the Luo River... I still can't believe it now.
"
Wen Jing smiled bitterly: "It's not just the commander-in-chief who can't believe it. Although I, Wen Jing, dare not say that I have read tens of thousands of books, there are still thousands of them. I have never seen such a situation."
As he said this, the bitterness on Wen Jing's face became heavier and his body began to tremble.
"It is said that we are fighting against the Yingte and against the Tang State. It is worth noting that we do not want the barren land north of the Luo River. It is not only the Empress Dowager who thinks it is appropriate to exchange the barren land for peace with the Han State, but also the princes in the government and the countryside.
I think it’s perfect.”
"There is no one in Qi"
Wen Jing laughed and left the city.
Su Lu looked at Wen Jing's back and suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.
In a country like that, the court will make all kinds of saucy maneuvers, defeating without defeat, and winning without winning. In the future, various saucy maneuvers that will break through the bottom line will make Wen Jing feel even worse than death.
You should also hurry up and digest the area north of the Luo River, waiting for the next battle with the Yingte people.
Since the Yingte people were able to cross the ocean to occupy the Qi State, they would definitely not be willing to lose the springboard of the Qi State. After the Qi State was wiped out, the next step for the Yingte people would be themselves.
When the time comes, I will have to fight against the elite elite army, and I can't rely on luck to defeat the elite city.
