Chapter 624
Tang Yin couldn't make the most accurate judgment on Ning Guoyi and the amount of compensation. He could only refer this matter to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji to discuss. With the astuteness of the two, the proposed peace must be able to For the best interests of his own side, Ning Guo can be reluctantly accepted.
Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Ziyi all retired. Only Tang Yin was left in the big account. He paced back and forth and began to think about how his side would retreat. At this time, Yuan Fang came and brought some simple dishes. In terms of diet, the two guards, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, were very careful. They first tried the wine and dishes brought by Yuan Fang with silver needles, and then the guards tasted them, and they confirmed that there were no problems. Put it in front of Tang Yin.
Yuan Fang approached Tang Yin, first giving a deep ritual, and then said with a smile: "I think the king must still be upset about the war tonight, so people have prepared some wine and dishes to bring over."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly, and tossed around in the middle of the night. He didn't get any results. He said that he had lost countless soldiers. By now, he is really hungry. He waved at Yuan Fang and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang sit down and eat together!"
"Yes! King!" Yuan Fang took his seat opposite Tang Yin, picked up the jug, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Tang Yin, and asked, "I don't know what the king intends to do now? Is it war or peace?" "
Tang Yin did not answer immediately, but asked: "Mr. Yuan Fang, I want to hear your suggestions first."
Tang Yin rarely uses the self-proclaimed 'Ben Wang' or 'Gu' when talking to people on Feng Guo's side, so when talking to him, he is like speaking to ordinary people, allowing people to speak freely. Worryingly, the distance between the crowd and him was virtually closed, which also made Tang Yin approachable. Feng Jun people have long been accustomed to this, and have not shown this detail, but Yuan Fang noticed it and nodded secretly. Tang Yin, an ordinary soldier, was able to draw so many Feng Guocaijun to his side, making people dead. He doesn't just rely on luck to do things. Tang Yin does have an advantage in attracting people.
While secretly pondering in his heart, Yuan Fang calmly said, "Wei Chen believes that peace is the highest priority."
"Oh?" Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Why?"
"With the presence of Chang Sun Yuanhong, Zhanghe Heaven of Ning State is as good as gold, our army will be able to overcome Leichi half a step, and then continue to fight, our army's advantages will be gradually exhausted. By then, Chang Sun Yuanhong will take the opportunity to counterattack Hedong. Our army will be difficult to resist. "
Tang Yin held up the wine glass, listened carefully to Yuan Fang's analysis, and nodded while listening. Yuan Fang continued: "Also, another twenty days will be the day of the Holy Ceremony. At this time, fighting will start again, fearing that it will cause resentment and panic among the people in the country."
The holy sacrifice ceremony mentioned by Yuan Fang is a traditional festival of the Haotian Empire, and it is also a big festival. It is necessary to sacrifice heaven, earth, and ancestors, and pray for peace and prosperity next year. Before and after the Holy Ceremony, the vassal states will try to avoid wars, which will be considered an ominous sign, and the next year will be spent in trouble and trouble.
Hearing that Yuan Fang mentioned the sacred ritual ceremony, Tang Yin patted his head, and he really forgot about it. Of course, he doesn't believe that sacrificing heaven and earth and ancestors will bless Guotai and Min'an next year, but that doesn't mean that others don't believe it. He must take into account the feelings of the people in the whole country.
Seeing Tang Yin's expression of sudden realization, Yuan Fang almost laughed out loud and could forget such an important day of the Holy Ceremony Ceremony, I am afraid that only Tang Yin is a war lunatic. He continued: "The King is the king of a country, and the Holy Ceremony must be returned to be hosted by the state. If the King is not in the country, he may be disturbed by the people and cause unrest among the people."
Tang Yin nodded and said repeatedly: "Well! Mr. Yuan Fang makes sense!" As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass.
Yuan Fang's eyes lighted up, and then he returned to normal, and asked, "So, the king decided to make peace with Ning Guo?"
Tang Yin didn't answer immediately. He squinted his eyes and looked down, thoughtfully. Seeing Tang Yin stupefied, Yuan Fang couldn't help but asked, "The King?"
"Oh? Ah! Yeah, I decided to make peace with Ning Guo." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and played back and forth in his hands.
Yuan Fang said with a smile: "So Weichen can rest assured! The king rested earlier, Weichen retired!" He stood up, gave Tang Yin a deep gift, and turned and walked outward.
Watching Yuan Fang's back disappear outside the tent door, Tang Yin turned back to Guan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuan Biao and beckoned. The two brothers of Shangguan hurried forward, approached Tang Yin, and asked, "What did the king say?"
Tang Yin whispered in the ears of the two, the two brothers stunned, and then hurriedly went out.
After the two brothers left, Tang Yin sat on the collapse and took a deep breath without any warning. A white mist was emitted around his body, and then the mist was sucked back into him.
In the next few days, Tang Yin, while resting the army and recruiting recruits, fought with Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi. Since he hadn't received a reply from Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, Tang Yin couldn't decide on the details of the peace treaty, so he could only delay the time and wait for Yancheng's reply.
This class was three days. I didn't receive a reply from Yancheng within three days. Tang Yin was also very anxious. I asked Xiao Muqing whether the letter to Yancheng was sent by flying pigeons or sent by human. Xiao Muqing's innocent face replied, "Emergency matters, of course, flying pigeons."
Tang Yin frowned and said, "Since it is flying pigeons, the letters should have arrived in Yancheng long ago. Why did Qiu Zhen and Yuan Ji return so slowly ?!"
Xiao Muqing smiled bitterly: "The king, the matter of reconciliation, has a profound relationship and will also affect our country's national policy in the future. I think it will take time for Qiu Xiang and Prime Minister Shangguan to discuss it!"
"Well!" Tang Yin nodded, and continued no further questioning.
Waiting on the fourth day, Lotte came to Tang Yin's tent early in the morning, and at the same time brought Tang Yin's anticipation for a few days to return to Yancheng.
This reply was written by Qiu Zhen personally, with only a short line on it. Tang Yin just woke up at this moment, picking up the note, he wondered if he read it wrong, rubbed his eyes, looked closely, yes, the above clearly stated: King, the matter of peace cannot be allowed Details will be discussed later when Weichen arrives.
He has begun to withdraw his troops, and at this time, Qiu Zhen actually rushed over from Yancheng, which was quite unexpected to Tang Yin, but what surprised him most was Qiu Zhen's first sentence. The matter of reconciliation could not be allowed He wondered, now that he can't fight anymore, what can he do if he doesn't agree? Even if I want to fight, I don't have the tools to cross the river. Is it necessary to drive out a batch of rafts?
Tang Yin really couldn't understand Qiu Zhen's intention, holding this reply, he smiled bitterly. Seeing this, Lotte couldn't help but ask: "King, what did Xiang Xiang write in the reply?"
"Let's see it for yourself!" Tang Yin passed it to Lotte with a note, and the latter hurriedly took it. Take a closer look. Look, Lotte is dumbfounded. It feels that Qiu really stands and speaks without backache, but there is still a glimmer of hope. Who wants to give up? Now there is really nothing to do but have to accept peace.
Lotte frowned and asked, "King, why is Qiu Xiang so resolutely opposed to peace? Peace is better than harm to our army ..."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly, leaned back, and lay back on the bed, and said quietly, "Where do I know ?!" After a pause, he said again, "However, Qiu really has a mind that is 100 times more than me. He said so. , Must have his reason. "After speaking, Tang Yin seemed to remember something again, and asked:" Does the pigeon go wrong on the road? "
Lotte smiled. It seemed that the king was full of self-confidence, but in fact he was not sure. He replied: "King, the pigeons in our country are all marked with special marks, and they will definitely not go wrong. In addition, the handwriting above is indeed written by Qiu Xiang."
"That's right! I worry too much." Tang Yin rubbed his forehead slightly and sighed helplessly.
Tang Yin had originally planned to talk with Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi about the details of the peace treaty. On the other hand, he had ordered the army to prepare and retreat at any time. As a result, Qiu Zhen wrote a few digits in reply to Tang Yin ’s All plans were disrupted, the issue of retreating was slowed, and the matter of reconciliation continued to be delayed.
From this point, it is not difficult to see the weight of Qiu Zhen in Tang Yin's mind. Even his one sentence can influence Tang Yin's intention, which is far beyond others.
Qiu Zhen is about to travel from Yancheng to Zhanghe. This is really a thousand miles. Even if he rides fast day and night, he wo n’t be able to reach it within ten days and a half months ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But the sacrament ceremony is getting closer. If Tang Yin was still in Hedong at this time, it would be difficult to get back to Yancheng on the day of the ceremony.
Tang Yin did not dare to withdraw from the army because of Qiu Zhen's words. Where did he leave the camp with peace of mind and return to the capital alone? At this time, Liang Qi gave him an idea to move the court's holy ceremonies to Hedong. One is to celebrate the return of Hedong, the other is to appease the people of Hedong, and the third is to sacrifice the soldiers of the Wind Country who died in Hedong and worship the dead. In particular, the third point, not only can seal the truth of the people in the country, but also make people feel that the king is a good monarch who loves soldiers and loves soldiers.
After listening to Liang Qi's suggestion, Tang Yin was overjoyed and immediately made a decision to hold the Holy Ceremony of the Wind Country in Qingyuan, Hedong County.
The following time, a part of the wind army evacuated from the Zhanghe camp, entered Qingyuan, and began to build altars in preparation for the ceremony. The remaining Fengjun began to build fortifications on the east bank of the Zhanghe River, posing for a long-term battle with the Ning Army. The situation in Hedong and Hexi, which had just been eased, turned sharply, and began to become tense.
This change can naturally be felt by Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi who stay in the wind camp. The two were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and repeatedly asked to see Tang Yin, but Tang Yin's attitude was also determined and he avoided it. He made up his mind and wanted to drag it to the end until Qiu Zhen waited.
