Before, the people in Yihe City only had the impression of him in the newspaper portraits, and because of his typical Tocharian face, they couldn't help feeling close to him.However, this time, the Great Qin Southwest General appeared in front of them with an indifferent face, and behind him were the person who caused the accident that day... and fifty or sixty "captives" of Gaochang people.

——Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the beautiful general who has always been lenient and gentle in the eyes of the world did not hesitate and cut off the head of the trembling perpetrator with a knife in his hand.As for the remaining Gaochang people, Shen Changhe read out their crimes of secretly colluding and intending to kill the soldiers of the Yunnan Army, but then announced that they were released on the spot.

"I will not kill civilians except for the main criminal who must be brought to justice." He said calmly, "But if I don't do anything next, I will really feel sorry for the soldiers of the Yunnan Army who died."

On the second day after that, UFOs suddenly appeared in the sky of Gaochang; only later did the common people know that those things were called "aircraft", to be precise, they were bombers.In less than half a day, the surrounding towns that were still resisting were razed to the ground by this steel monster. Looking around, they were devastated; while the towns that hadn't been hit by the disaster surrendered one after another, kneeling before the strong artillery of the Yunnan Army Under the despotic power!

Lost lives and mourning are everywhere, this is Shen Rufeng's most direct perception after the war-all he sees are the charred corpses of Gaochang people, and the mournful and crying sounds of women and children are faintly heard in the distance, which is heartbreaking.

This is the war with the most deaths and the heaviest losses since the founding of Gaochang.It is said that it is a war, but in fact it has been a purely unilateral attack, crushing and even massacre from the very beginning!

Shen Changhe really did what he said, and did not "indiscriminately kill civilians" during non-war periods; but there is no doubt that he did use actual actions to "revenge" the soldiers of the Yunnan Army who died in this war .With the help of the bomber's fierce offensive, the Dian army occupied five more cities in one go. So far, Wangcheng has almost become an isolated island.

By the end of the war, both sides were exhausted.Farhad was so helpless that he had to find Misaki Ito again to "ask for advice with an open mind".Unexpectedly, Misaki Ito just smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry so much."

"That is to say, if we endure it a little longer, we can wait for him to collapse without fighting?"

"Before the planes were dispatched, there was no problem with such a judgment." Ito Misaki said: "The problem is that now these bombers come from nowhere, and your country's air defense force is quite weak. This war... I'm afraid it will be a stalemate for a while. "

Farhad said urgently: "No, I can't wait any longer! If this continues, this devil butcher will kill many people and occupy many lands. I'm afraid I will be infamous for thousands of years!"

So you still know how to feel sorry for the people and your own reputation?Ito Misaki sneered silently in her heart, but her mouth was very humble: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, the smallpox plague has also appeared in the southwest region. Is it possible that Shen Changhe stayed here for too long? He hopes to win a quick battle more than you do." Well. Don't be impatient, it's only a couple of days, Shen Changhe will definitely take the initiative to cease the war and ask for a peace negotiation."

Farhad was dubious about what this mysterious Japanese woman said.But soon, news came from the front: The Southwest Military Government's offensive has stopped!

At the same time, Shen Changhe's personal letter was also sent to the palace.The general idea is very simple, it is to ask the two countries to cease fighting and negotiate a peace, and the condition is to sign a ten-year "Daqin/Gaochang Non-Aggression Treaty".

In this regard, Misaki Ito still calmly "commanded" Farhad to issue orders to the front line: "The weakening of their firepower means that the Yunnan Army has no power to continue, and your country can attack."

At the same time, Xu Manshu also questioned Shen Changhe: "Why did you stop suddenly? A quick victory is too important to us, we can't wait anymore!"

"Travel a hundred miles and a half to ninety."

Shen Changhe said calmly: "We have reached the final stage, and we must not give up all previous efforts. Farhad is a no-brainer, but Misaki Ito behind him is not stupid. She must have guessed that we are more eager to end the war than anyone else. In this case, I Just accompany her to finish the play."

As the frontline Yunnan army "retreats steadily", the tail of Gaochang King Farhad once again cocked up.When the battle situation improved, Shen Rufeng was able to lead his army to rendezvous with the defenders of the royal city, and then went to meet the king alone——

"Aunt." Facing the woman he had been thinking about day and night for more than a month, Farhad just sneered, and said sarcastically, "Are you here again this time to persuade me to accept the peace agreement?"

"No, Your Majesty," Shen Rufeng said solemnly but gently: "I hope that no matter what the battle situation is, please insist on unwavering momentum of proactive attack."

"You don't need to worry about it, I know it very well!" Farhad said with a fake smile: "Come here, take my aunt back to rest!"

Not long after this unpleasant conversation, the Gaochang army, which had successfully counterattacked, was blocked again: this time it was not bombers, but the "armored corps" of the Yunnan Army who did not know when or where it came from.The Gaochang army wanted to retreat, but was blocked by the "mysteriously disappeared" Dian army planes before. The combination of ground and air, and two-pronged approach, once again retreated steadily in a fiasco!

And this time, the loss was particularly heavy.The whole country in Gaochang did not understand that the heavy weapons of the two countries were almost the same, why were they unable to fight back when they met?

"Because there is still the overwhelming firepower of bombers in the sky, the strength of the two sides is too far apart in this situation." Shen Rufeng, who was under house arrest in the palace, lamented, "I hope your majesty is not so confused that he will immediately lose his advantage as soon as he loses his advantage." The point of self-disorder..."

But she was wrong.On the first day when the bad news from the front came back, Farhad panicked again.He invited Ito Misaki to ask her why she "misled" him to pursue the victory and fell into Shen Changhe's trap again, but Ito Misaki didn't say much, but said leisurely with a mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal: "Your Majesty If you blame me, I can kill myself by caesarean section, but now that the outcome is undecided, don't you think it's rash for Your Majesty to ask the blame?"

"But I'm about to lose!"

"Think whatever you want, dear Emperor Gaochang." Ito Misaki felt a little impatient in her heart, but she still smiled coquettishly on her face: "You are the king of a country, and it is up to you to decide what to do. meaning."

When the official document of Emperor Gaochang's request for peace arrived, Xu Manshu and his soldiers, who had been in fear for many days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.In the past few days, except for all the capital dispatched from the secret military base of the Southwest Military Government - a dozen red bombers, most of the "tanks" and "armored vehicles" on land were made of car chassis with iron shells. It is disguised and does not have any lethality at all. If it is replaced by Shen Rufeng as the leader, it will definitely reveal his secrets.The wonderful thing is that the little Emperor Gaochang is self-willed and suspicious. He doesn't trust Shen Rufeng, and the generals he sent are not very smart, so he was fooled.

Seeing that the Yunnan army's firepower is about to be unable to support it, it is undoubtedly great news that the enemy has surrendered first at this time!

At this time, Shen Changhe knew very well that he just used a psychological offensive to win a round, and if he made a wrong step during this period, he would lose the whole game.In other words, as long as Farhad is not forced to sign a treaty, and they do not return safely to the southwest with a large army, they will not be considered a real victory.

"Please tell the emperor of your country that peace is possible, but there is one more condition to be added." Facing the Gaochang envoy, Shen Changhe said indifferently: "Our army has traveled thousands of miles to come here. I hope he will make some compensation."

Hearing this, the Gaochang envoy breathed a sigh of relief.Before coming here, he thought that Shen Changhe would directly ask for the land, but he didn't expect that he only wanted money: "How much does the general want?"

Shen Changhe stretched out three fingers of his left hand.The envoy asked: "300 million taels of silver?"

"Wrong." Shen Changhe smiled and said, "It's 3000 million taels."

The envoy brought his condition back to Gaochang Royal Court, but Farhad didn't get angry this time.He accepted all of Shen Changhe's conditions quite calmly, stamped the jade seal on the peace treaty between the two countries with great joy, and then took a check from the treasury and handed it to the envoy, asking him to bring it to Shen Changhe. —

"My aunt said that she wanted to see the general. I also hope to take this opportunity to completely turn the two countries' hostility into friendship."

"This is obviously a trap, a Hongmen Banquet!"

Xu Manshu frowned tightly: "They have already given you the 3000 taels you asked for. Wouldn't it be good to have a fight at this juncture? Meet, why meet? And make an appointment at the Gaochang Palace?"

"The other party has already fulfilled all our requirements. It's just a small request. If I don't agree, I will inevitably be laughed at." Shen Changhe smiled gently and said: "So, no matter what will happen, I must go to the meeting."

"But--"

For some reason, Xu Manshu suddenly felt unprecedented fear.In her impression, Shen Changhe had never been so gentle and kind, and this was not his style; now that he knew it was a grand banquet, he accepted it so easily, and seemed too calm.

This is by no means a good sign!

"Take a word to Li Yunling for me." Shen Changhe cut her off, and said softly, "Tell her, I'm not Zhu Qizhen, but she must become Yu Tingyi, and she knows how to choose in front of the bigger picture."

Hongmen Banquet
