Chapter 56
King Xiqi said silently, and the generals did not speak. Na Meng said softly: "If we want to capture the city, we will lose at least 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers!"
"What do you mean?"
King Xiqi looked at Na Meng and asked softly.
"The king, I think it's not very meaningful for us whether we can take over the capital of Yasukuni at this time!"
"Why do you say this?"
King Xiqi asked lightly.
Na Meng said in a deep voice: "For the land, I, Daqi, have now taken half of Yasukuni's territory, and I don't care about this city!"
"The main reason why we want to take down Jing'an City is that Jing'an City is the imperial capital of Jing'an, the royal family of Jing'an City, and the court are all in Jing'an City."
"Once we take down Jing'an City, it will definitely be a painful blow to the morale of Yasukuni!"
"This is our purpose, but at this time, the defenders in Jing'an City resisted stubbornly. The price we wanted to take down the city was really painful!"
"If we can seek peace with the Yasukuni and let the foolish monarch cede land and pay compensation, it will consume national strength and the people's hearts!"
"At that time, the court will have no majesty and it is a pity that we secretly encourage some people to rise up. In less than a year, they will definitely be too busy to take care of themselves. We will take advantage of the situation to advance eastward and decide the country in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Mei Su exclaimed, with a smile in her eyes: "The Grand Marshal said so much!"
"King, fighting is a last resort. The most important thing for us now is to prepare food and grass to survive the cold winter!"
King Xiqi pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, then send an envoy to negotiate peace with Yasukuni!"
"Master!"
The blindfolded eyes had a deep look and said softly: "There are masters in this Yasukuni. If we can take this opportunity to lure the masters behind them..."
A trace of splendor appeared in King Xiqi's eyes, and he pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, I will meet with him in person in front of the two armies!"
"promise!"
...
"Report—"
"Your Highness, generals, a Xiqi envoy has come down from the city!"
When Lin Yan and Xun You heard the scout come to report, they looked at each other and said, "It seems that sir has guessed it right!"
Xun You also had a smile on his eyes, "It is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace, but since Xiqi is willing to give us an opportunity to wait for reinforcements, we must make good use of it!"
Lin Yan also nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a marten coat strode in, glanced around, and finally fell on Lin Yan: "Xiqi envoy, Qiao Sen, have seen the adults!"
Lin Yan smiled faintly: "What are the things that the envoys are here to do?"
"The weasel wishes the chicken a happy new year, and is uneasy!"
Xun You, who was beside him, snorted coldly.
Qiao Sen was not angry at all, but instead showed a kind smile on his face: "Don't be angry, wait until the villain finishes his words, and then ask the adults to decide!"
Lin Yan looked cold, "If you have anything to say, it is impossible to let us open the city gate and surrender!"
Hearing Lin Yan's powerful voice, Qiao Sen also showed a smile on his face: "Sir, I am joking. My Daqi and Yasukuni have been in good terms for many years. How could I force your country to open the city to surrender?"
"I have been having a good time for many years, hahaha, it's ridiculous!"
"You Xiqi captured my people, slaughtered my people, and occupied our country's territory. You are so embarrassed to say that you have been in good faith with my Jingguo for many years. You are simply shameless!"
Changsun Wuji was trembling in anger and couldn't help but shout angrily.
Qiao Sen's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Please don't get angry, my Daqi is helpless!"
"You all know that since ancient times, my Daqi land has been barren and the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to farming. Hundreds of thousands of people starved to death every year. When winter comes, it will be the national disaster for my Daqi!"
"So, there are many offensive things, so don't blame me!"
"Okay!" Lin Yan waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense here, just tell me what you are trying to do!"
Qiao Sen smiled: "To be honest, this time the villain came here under the order of my king and wanted to negotiate with your country!"
"Peace talk?"
Lin Yan exclaimed, as if he was very surprised by the matter. He stood up from the chair, and a hint of "surprise" appeared on his face, "You Xiqi are really willing to talk to us?"
Qiao Sen sneered in his heart, but said respectfully on his face: "That's it!"
"My king is not willing to be enemies with your country. Over the past three years, Yasukuni has lent us land and food. We are very grateful. How can we be enemies with Yasukuni?"
Listening to Qiao Sen's high-sounding words, Lin Yan sneered in his heart. If he had to take the overall situation into consideration, he would have slapped this guy to death!
"Tell me about your conditions!"
Lin Yan seemed to have said this after careful consideration, and Qiao Sen was secretly happy. This time he came with his death order. In any case, Jingguo must accept the peace talks!
"The villain has a low status, and no one can decide on peace talks. My king has something to say. Tomorrow morning, we will have a detailed discussion with the adults at the city. Both sides do not bring one soldier or another. I wonder if the adults are invited?"
Xun You's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head calmly at Lin Yan, and a smile of interest appeared on Lin Yan's face!
"Don't bring one soldier?"
“That’s right!”
"My king said that he has always admired the brave. In our Daqi, the most obedient people on the grassland are always warriors. Therefore, he hopes to shake hands and make peace with the two armies in front of the army!"
Lin Yan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of fear: "This... is inappropriate!"
"If Xiqi really wants to negotiate, we will send envoys here, why bother..."
Qiao Sen's face suddenly became darker, and his tone became tougher: "We king want to call you a friend. If you don't want to give me a favor, I'm afraid that the peace talks will not be able to continue!"
Lin Yan's face was full of anger, and his eyes were full of anger: "You..."
"What, can you really be prepared to fight to the death with me, Daqi?"
Looking at Qiao Sen's indifferent look, Lin Yan's fist was tightly packed and sighed: "Okay, I agree... You Xiqi cannot bring a soldier or a soldier, otherwise, I... will never go!"
Hearing Lin Yan's claim, Qiao Sen's face showed a hint of surprise. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was actually a prince, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Okay, I'll go back now and report to my king!"
"Send him out of the city!"
Lin Yan waved his hand and looked at Qiao Sen's departure back, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, how can you promise him..."
As soon as Qiao Sen walked out, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but speak: "This is obviously Daqi's conspiracy!"
Lin Yan smiled faintly: "So what? I know there is a tiger in the mountain, but I tend to go to Tiger Mountain. I am also very interested in this King of Xiqi!"
