Eagle Byzantium

Gawain burst out laughing, and he regretfully said to the two envoys, "I appreciate the kindness of the King of Justice, but our country's human relations are different from yours. We pay special attention to religion (the emperor began to be cruel again). If this expedition is not destroyed, Even I, the remnants of the Nestorian religion, cannot restrain the army."

Lu Yihao immediately replied, "If a peace agreement can be reached, His Highness King Ping Ping is willing to dismantle all Nestorian temples in the country."

However, Gao Wen said that this was not enough, so Lu Yihao protested seriously, saying that the two countries had equal status and each should make concessions. Therefore, the plan he proposed before was the bottom line.

As a result, Gawain pretended to be angry and asked the guards to expel the two envoys and tear up the credentials.

Zhao Liangsi hurriedly wanted to speak, but Lu Yihao continued to fight and said, "Since the war, your country has also incurred a huge consumption of money and silk. If the confrontation continues for a long time, I am afraid it will be the result of internal and external troubles. Now the ceasefire will be harmful to both countries. Generally speaking, this is the best situation. In addition, the previous small defeat was just King Ping Ping's servant Manqi. The elite main force of King Ping Ping is still there. If Emperor Da Fulin comes to fight, you may not be able to take half of it. Cheap."

Gawain then changed the subject, "I don't have a sister, and my only daughter has been promised to the son of the Lord of Fulang. I'm afraid the marriage between the two countries will not be concluded at all. It's better to do this. We will still conclude the brotherly alliance, but Huluo It is impossible for you to take possession of Shan - how about you return to the east of the Oxus River and keep your original boundaries?"

"When I came this time, the order I got was very clear. Shan Shan cannot give up any ground!" Lu Yihao was unyielding.

As a result, Zhao Liangsi became furious at this time. He banged the table like thunder and yelled at Lu Yihao, "The handwriting of King Ping Ping on the mission list is clearer. Liangsi is the chief and you are the deputy. Why is it reversed now?" Then Zhao Liangsi angrily rebuked Lu Yihao and refused to let him say anything. He immediately made a series of guarantees to the emperor on the throne:

Regarding the Nestorian issue, if Emperor Dafuluo demands it, we can even cut off the heads of the powerful priests and offer them to the emperor;

It's okay if Shan doesn't want it, your majesty admits that our occupation of Khwarezm and Hezhong is enough;

In terms of marriage, if Your Majesty does not have a suitable sister, it would be better to marry an imperial concubine from the Song Dynasty to the Qin and Jin Dynasties;

In terms of commerce, your Majesty can sell horses to us every year, and we give him a large amount of silk, porcelain and other specialties.

"I have only one wife, the Empire's Baselisa."

"It's okay. I heard that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Empire, does not have a concubine to marry yet." Zhao Liangsi did not let up at all.

Gao Wen praised Zhao Liangsi's generous conditions, and then he glared at Lu Yihao, saying, "This is an insincere proposal and the culprit of endangering the relations between the two countries." After saying this, he asked the guards to expel him from the imperial camp. He only talked to Zhao Liangsi. talk.

It was a windy and frosty time outside. Lu Yihao stood erect on the spot, his eyebrows and beard covered with white frost, but he shouted loudly that Zhao Liangsi had harmed the country and refused to give in at all.

Inside the tent, the fire was roaring, and Gawain specially led Zhao Liangsi into the curtain room, when a figure emerged, it was Pharmacist Guo.

Zhao Liangsi was shocked when he saw the pharmacist and was about to give way, but the pharmacist stepped forward and grabbed him, urging him hard, "Liangsi, please stop leaving and listen to me."

"Who dares to pretend to be the commander of the ever-victorious army, Guo Yaoshi?"

Pharmacist Guo immediately opened his mouth, revealing his two missing front teeth, indicating that he was genuine.

"No wonder your ever-victorious army failed to arrive as planned. It turned out to be that it surrendered to the enemy!" Zhao Liangsi became furious again.

"How can you say that I surrendered to the enemy, Pharmacist? I did it for the peace and well-being of the two kingdoms of Huangsong and Dafufu!" Yaoshi Guo hurriedly defended, and then he whispered to Zhao Liangsi, "Now Brother Yu is here with the Great Emperor Fulu. If the good heir is willing to listen to the words of Brother Yu, the peace talks will be successful."

Hearing Yaoshi Guo's words, Zhao Liangsi was immediately moved.

Over there, Gao Wen also always showed his trust in the pharmacist Guo.

In the end, Zhao Liangsi accepted the conditions he listed above. In addition, he also promised Yaoshi Guo not to tell anyone about his surrender to the enemy with the Chang Sheng Army.

Soon, Gawain signed a letter of credence, which stated that if the King of Justice returns to the Oxus River within the time limit and removes all the garrisons and officials in the Khorasan area, then the two countries can of course form a brotherly alliance. , since then, the river has been used as a boundary to prevent each other from invading.

Carrying the credentials of the Roman Empire, Zhao Liangsi walked out of the imperial camp arrogantly, sat on his horse, and showed off to Lu Yihao, who was almost frozen into a snowman, saying, "A hundred years of peace are in my hands, and you will not be able to take away the merits after you return."

Lu Yihao was too cold to speak and just stared at this person fiercely.

Here, Gawain immediately sent a silver eagle emblem token to Cruztaros Guo, "Now you take the Nikki brigade and I will divide the camp to meet up with Mero's cavalry. Go straight to the camp of the King of Justice from the other side. Remember, if you win this battle, you will be the biggest hero, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth when you return to Constantinople."

Pharmacist Guo was flattered again and hurriedly knelt down. He first kissed the emperor's boots, and then followed the etiquette of Roman courtiers and kissed the left breast of the emperor. Pharmacist Guo also nudged the front of Gawain's robe twice with his mouth. There were water stains left behind, which almost made the holy girl standing next to her sick.

As expected by Gao Wen, Zhao Liangsi and Lu Yihao returned to the camp and sent the Roman emperor's letter of reply, which caused an uproar in the entire camp. Then there was a "fight" between the military and civil officials of various factions: Tong Taishi supported Zhao Liangsi, while Liu Xuanfu supported Lu Yihao. Some people took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of Guo Yaoshi and the Changsheng Army, clamoring that they had surrendered to the enemy and wanted to ask the recommender for the crime - Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing were furious because they were both Guo Yaoshi's recommenders...

While the Song army camp outside Mofu City was arguing, Gao Wen commanded the entire army, marching day and night in the frost and snow, braving the severe cold, and advanced 90 ancient miles in three days, arriving at the camp of Nishapur, and finally joined forces with the rest of the brigade.

Seeing that the emperor had returned from Ghazni and Sindh safely, the whole camp was extremely jubilant. The emperor urgently summoned the commanders, centurions and ordinary soldiers of each brigade to ask them in detail about their previous confrontations with the army of King Gongping and verify the strength of the other side.

But unfortunately, the 20,000 elite soldiers of King Gongping never went to battle, keeping it a secret and preserving the mystery.

"No need to speculate, we will know when the battle begins." The emperor finally concluded with this sentence.

After that, Gawain ordered the entire camp to gather 2,000 Bactrian camels, divided into four groups, and escorted by the cavalry of the Epirus Brigade, along the northern road of Nishapur City, to transport various equipment, materials and supplies to Tus City in an endless stream to strengthen the military strength of Diogenes, Dim and Jocelyn. At this time, Diogenes already had 15,000 elite infantry and cavalry. He received a secret order from the emperor and the camel caravan, "Immediately select 5,000 cavalry, bypass the camps and forts of the Fair King from the north line, and drive straight to Amur City to block the Oxus River!"
