Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The next day, the Xiongnu Shanyu went out of the camp for [-] miles and set up a big tent to invite the generals of various countries to talk about peace. He also declared that he would only bring one thousand soldiers to the camp. Elite soldiers come.

Chu Yifeng read the letter of peace talks sent by the Great Chanyu, and after reading it and handed it to Ling Xiao, the soldiers in the account circulated it once and said: "The Xiongnu Shanyu is still sincere. He has dealt with the civil strife now. Thinking about it, I don’t want to fight anymore.” After finishing speaking, Chu Yifeng wanted to laugh, what kind of nonsense this is, the internal chaos of the Xiongnu paid for them to toss for several months, and now they have to go back home without a knife or a shot I don't know what to say.

Ling Xiao read the peace letter carefully again, and chuckled in his heart, this is Zhu Yu's words.

In the natural residence of the imperial city, Zhu Yu once gave him a map of the relationship and power between the crown prince and King Hui that he recorded in his own hand. Ling Xiao had some experience in imitating Chu Yifeng's handwriting at the beginning, and he has a good memory for people's handwriting. You can be sure that this is Zhu Yu's own handwriting. If so, Ling Xiao will feel more at ease, and said with a smile: "But it's okay to go. At that time, I will ask General Fu to send two thousand elite soldiers to the rear, and hide it better. Be careful."

Master Yan was taken aback for a moment: "Young Master...the letter said a thousand soldiers...is this a loss of integrity?"

"Be careful, there is no fault." Ling Xiao smiled, "The prince's body is a thousand pieces of gold, and you and I will never be compensated for any injury. Besides... I am not a gentleman, and I will trouble General Fu if I keep the virtue of a gentleman."

Fu Jieqin smiled: "Young Lord is right, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, why stick to small details in order to protect the prince?" Fu Jieqin nodded inwardly, he also likes Ling Xiao's unpretentious and flexible character, more An old pedant like Master Yan is much better!

After everyone discussed it, at noon Ling Xiao followed Chu Yifeng to the big tent set up by Da Shanyu for peace talks, Wu Ji brought a thousand elite soldiers to accompany him, and Fu Jieqin led two thousand elite soldiers to ambush in case of emergencies.

This is the first time Chu Yifeng has encountered such a situation, and the opponent is the Xiongnu Shanyu, whose military strength is not inferior to that of the Great Chu Kingdom. Ling Xiao and him are in the same mind, and there are too many soldiers around him so it is hard to say much, but they just held hands on the way to the big tent. He touched Chu Yifeng's hand, and the moment he touched it, Chu Yifeng tried his best to calm down, and Ling Xiao smiled: "My lord, don't worry, the Xiongnu Shanyu came to the throne not long ago, and my lord is the king of Zhen Guozun, and I'm afraid he is also the highest-ranking man he has ever seen. Foreign nobles, nothing."

Chu Yifeng felt much better, and nodded and smiled at Ling Xiao.

In the tent, Qianghu and Zhu Yu also waited for a long while, and when they saw Chu Yifeng coming, everyone in the tent got up, and after a brief exchange of greetings, Qianghu ordered the irrelevant soldiers in the tent to retreat, leaving only Zhu Yu, Chu Yifeng, Ling Xiao and others behind. Own.

Chu Yifeng was stunned when he saw Zhu Yu, and turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Isn't this... Zhu Yu?"

Ling Xiao was secretly startled, he didn't expect that Qiang Hu would bring Zhu Yu to the peace talks with them!Before Ling Xiao explained to Chu Yifeng, he was relieved, nodded to Zhu Yu and said, "Since the Northern War, have you gone to the Huns again?"

Zhu Yu nodded quickly: "Zhu Yu is a homeless person, and it is my blessing that Da Shanyu is willing to take me in."

"Come on, let's all sit down..." Qiang Hu Dala said, "Have a drink before we talk?"

Zhu Yu only felt a dull pain in his temple, but Chu Yifeng shook his head: "Drinking is a mistake, our army has always strictly prohibited drinking alcohol, forget it... let's drink some double-skin milk."

Qianghu's tongue was a little knotted: "What... what kind of skinny milk?" Qianghu and them already had some language barriers, but now he became confused, and turned his head to look at Zhu Yu blankly, Zhu Yu's head hurt even more.

"Haha, my lord is just joking." Ling Xiao smiled, "The business is more important. The Great Shanyu has invaded our country for more than a month. I don't know what it means?"

Speaking of this, Qiang Hu nodded, but he was not in a hurry to talk about the business and just looked at Chu Yifeng steadfastly. Before, Zhu Yu told him that Chu Yifeng didn't know about his affairs so that he should not let him slip up. Qiang Hu's thinking is simple I just thought that Zhu Yu agreed because he was afraid of revealing his identity and causing disaster. Now seeing Chu Yifeng, Qiang Hu has a sense of superiority of someone who sees everything over someone who is kept in the dark. Take a closer look. Like ah, the eyes are somewhat similar.

Chu Yifeng didn't know what the Da Shanyu was staring at him, and he didn't care, and asked, "I don't know why the Da Shanyu invited us here today?"

Qiang Hu smiled: "The general should also know that this military invasion of the country was not my intention, but that King Chai Dan of our department insisted on committing murder, and now that the gods have taken him away today, I hope that our mutual estrangement can also be eliminated. "

Chu Yifeng's heart moved. This new order has never had any contact with the Chu Dynasty since he ascended the throne. Although the tired soldiers worked hard this time, they did not fight. If they can take this opportunity to sign a treaty...

"I have also heard about this incident, and it was all caused by a misunderstanding." Chu Yifeng said seriously, "Forgive me to offend, the misunderstanding is caused by the fact that Da Shanyu has never had any contact with me. I am arrogant. Shan Yu has sent envoys to congratulate him many times with gifts, but the Great Shan Yu refused to accept our court's kindness, if we can form a brotherly state, we will have no choice but to cultivate forever, and it will benefit our two countries without any harm."

Qiang Hu raised his eyebrows, in order to wish Yu he would indeed agree to the covenant that he would not invade in the future, but seeing this little general getting serious, he also became interested, sat upright and smiled: "What about the sincerity of the great general?" To put it bluntly, the people of the Central Plains have changed dynasties, but they have never taken the initiative to invade the land of our Huns. It has always been our Huns soldiers who invaded and plundered Lake Kushar. The covenant I made with you is just to limit my Action, what good is it for me?"

Ling Xiao and Zhu Yu's hearts moved at the same time. Ling Xiao couldn't hear outsiders yelling at Chu Yifeng. Zhu Yu also secretly scolded Qiang Hu for being sick. Why did he tease him when he clearly promised himself? When the two were about to speak, Chu Yifeng answered first. up.

"Da Shanyu's words are correct." Chu Yifeng smiled, "The Central Plains has never voluntarily invaded the land of the Xiongnu in all dynasties. That's because the land of the Xiongnu is located in the grassland and Gobi. I, the people of the Central Plains, are used to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but not the climate here. , What's the use of taking down this territory?"

Ling Xiao yelled in his heart, Qiang Hu was angry at first, but seeing that Chu Yifeng didn't mean to cancel the ridicule, he was indeed just stating another fact, Qiang Hu laughed instead, and said with a smile: "The general is a straightforward man. People, I like it, let the general talk about it himself, and see if he can impress me."

"If Da Shanyu is willing to make an eternal covenant with our court... I can ask the court to open a formal trade route to the Xiongnu, and then the tax will be lowered..." Chu Yifeng hesitated, and said in a deep voice, "Twenty percent."

As soon as this remark came out, the other three people were stunned, and Ling Xiao's heart moved. This business may not necessarily be compensated. All the Xiongnu purchased from the Central Plains were silk, cloth and grain, but what the Xiongnu sold to the Central Plains was fur meat. Although the purchase volume is not as large as that of cloth and grain, the price is much higher. In the short term, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose, but grain is much more important to the common people than fur and the like.

Qiang Hu was in a daze, why did the Xiongnu cross the borders to plunder frequently? Who would want to kill those who are good? It's not like their own people won't be injured, but there is no food in the tent, so what if they don't plunder?The profiteers on the border often hoard food prices to drive up food prices, but the emperors of all dynasties in the Central Plains have stuck to this barrier to restrict their people. If it is true what Chu Yifeng said... Qiang Hu said slowly: " Does the general know what he is talking about? Can you do this?"

Chu Yifeng paused, and said seriously: "I will negotiate with the imperial court."

Qiang Hu looked at Chu Yifeng quietly, and shook his head: "I'm afraid the general won't be able to convince your emperor, that's all, this time it's because I made a mistake in the first place, and I have already thought about signing the contract before, so I don't have to do it just now." I will agree to the conditions."

Seeing that Chu Yifeng wanted to take another step forward, Qiang Hu said: "If one day the general can ascend to the great treasure, I am willing to sign another contract with the general."

Chu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Da Shanyu doesn't know about my court affairs, I'm just the emperor's grandson now, and besides, I'm not the eldest son, so I won't succeed to the throne."

Qiang Hu ignored it, and ordered Zhu Yu to draw up a contract. Zhu Yu fetched the parchment, and after a while, the two contracts were written: "There is something wrong between the two countries, and the great Xiongnu and the great emperor of the Chu Kingdom agree to repair it." In order to ensure that his sons and heirs will not be at odds with each other, now the great Xiongnu Da Shanyu met with the king of Guozun County of the Dazhu Kingdom, and the Xiongnu Da Shanyu would like to guarantee that his soldiers would not invade the Da Chu Kingdom throughout his life.

Zhu Yu presented the two contracts to Qiang Hu with both hands, Qiang Hu read it once and nodded: "That's right, let's take a look, General."

Ling Xiao stepped forward,

Zhu Yu handed the contract to Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao gave it to Chu Yifeng again. Chu Yifeng read it again, and Ling Xiao understood it with a glance. Qiang Hu only promised that he would not invade Chu State when he was in office, but he did not No benefit, no harm to Chu State, a treaty like this does not need to be reported to the court, it can be signed immediately.

Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao's eyes met, and Chu Yifeng nodded: "Dan Yu is very sincere, and I am willing to sign on behalf of my great emperor."

Ling Xiao and Zhu Yu each took out their seals and pressed them, exchanged with each other, and then dropped the seals, and the contract was formed.

When Chu Yifeng was about to say something, Qiang Hu said again: "I hope I will write again."

"Yes." Zhu Yu took out two pieces of parchment again, Qiang Hu looked at Chu Yifeng with a smile, and said slowly: "It is believed that the two countries have been repaired for many years, the Great Huns and the Great Emperor Chu Yifeng..."

"Da Shanyu!" Chu Yifeng couldn't help but opened his eyes wide, "What does this mean?"

Qianghu smiled and didn't say much, and continued: "The Great Xiongnu Shanyu Qianghu and the Great Emperor Chu Yifeng of the Great Chu Kingdom are willing to cultivate brotherhood and make a covenant for eternity. Both taxes and contributions will be reduced by [-]%.”

Zhu Yu pressed Qiang Hu's seal on both copies, and said to Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng sternly: "I wish to make a good relationship with you forever, but the premise is that Chu Yifeng, the king of Zhen Guozun, succeeds to the throne. When the king of Shizhen Guozun succeeds to the throne, when will this contract come into force."

Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao could only feel their hearts throbbing in their chests. They never thought that Qiang Hu would be like this before. Chu Yifeng said seriously: "I thank the general for his kindness first, but..."

"There's no need to say more." The bandit Qianghu smiled angrily, "I would not agree to such a treaty if someone else came to the throne, but if you were to take the throne, I would send envoys to congratulate me."

Before Chu Yifeng could speak, Ling Xiao first took out Chu Yifeng's seal and solemnly printed it on the two contracts, then put one of them away, bowed and said, "I would like to thank Da Shanyu for His Royal Highness, if one day this The contract can come into force, and His Royal Highness is willing to send envoys to the Huns to congratulate him."

"Okay, you go on your own." Qiang Hu smiled, and said loudly to Chu Yifeng again, "I'll ask you to buy me a cup of that skinny milk on the day you ascend the throne!"

Chu Yifeng smiled: "Of course!"

Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng left with two ten-million-dollar contracts. At this time, Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng didn't know how much benefit and blessing this contract would bring to the people on the border between the two countries in the future.

When everyone returned to Chu Jun's camp, Chu Yifeng signed such a contract. Wuji Chu Yifeng and his soldiers were also very happy. They saw Yan Shi stationed in the barracks with a smile. Master Yan had been waiting for a long time, when he saw Chu Yifeng come back, he burst into tears, rushed up to kneel and wept, "Your Highness! Your Majesty... Your Majesty has passed away..."
