Chapter 314 Changing Prisoners?

Eunuch Hu was stunned.

Because Shen Liuzhen was right, the emperor told him when he came that he didn't want to fight.

The last battle cost a lot of money and food, and it was only after patchwork that this result came about.

Although the Song Kingdom is rich, not all of the rich are in the hands of the emperor's family. Most of them depend on the major forces and whether the family connections are willing to help.

Winning this time is considered to have consolidated the prestige of the royal family, and everyone is happy, but just after the fight, it will take time to rectify and rectify, so that they can hope to win the next round.

If it's not a last resort, who wouldn't want to fight a prepared battle?
This mobilization, a large number of men and horses, whether it is military uniforms, food for people to eat, or grass for horses to chew, all take time to save up.

Why do we have to wait for the autumn harvest next year?Otherwise, these things cannot be changed out of thin air.

So when he came, the emperor confessed that he went directly down the steps while the state of Wei was asking for peace, mainly to show off the prestige of the state of Song.

The main purpose is to not fight, so that Song will have face and will not damage the morale of the soldiers.

However, how this national prestige can be regarded as a promotion, he really has no idea in his heart.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Hu glanced at Xie Yuan next to him with a guilty conscience.

Seeing Xie Yuan looking at him with that cold and stern look again.So he smiled awkwardly and said:

"This... our family thinks what General Xie said makes sense."

Shen Liuzhen looked at Eunuch Hu and pursed his lips, thinking unwillingly: This eunuch is really useless.

Forced to be helpless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Xie Yuan who was opposite him, and said:
"General Xie, your proposal yesterday is absolutely impossible. This is the border of Wei State. How to arrange the garrison in Wei State and whether there are military towns are all Wei State's own military affairs. How can it be the turn of foreign countries to dictate? …Unless the Kingdom of Wei has perished and become a puppet country. Dare I ask, has the Kingdom of Wei perished?"

Princess Huaizhen glanced over, pouted unhappily.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that as long as Shen Liuzhen met Xie Yuan, his tone would be very different, as if he was carefully discussing with her.

In a blink of an eye, seeing Xie Yuan staring intently at Shen Liuzhen again, she had a feeling that her husband was flirting with others in front of her, which made people feel depressed.

It is also strange.When she looked at Xie Yuan, she basically couldn't remember that she was a girl, but when she looked at Shen Liuzhen, she basically couldn't remember that he was a man.

Anyway, in her line of sight, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen, as long as they meet and talk to each other, they are equally obtrusive to her eyes.

If it wasn't for her father's instructions when she came here, her task was to watch Xie Yuan, and not to intervene in other things, she would definitely make trouble now, and say: Don't say anything, let's go.

"Then what do you do?" Xie Yuan lowered his eyelids, knowing that what Shen Liuzhen said just now was crucial, so he planned to take a step back.

"I should ask the envoy Song about that." Shen Liuzhen immediately said politely, raised his sleeves, and pointed in her direction.

Everyone turned their attention to Xie Yuan again.

Xie Yuan's Danfeng raised his eyes and said, "Bring back all the prisoners of Song!"

Shen Liuzhen didn't make a sound this time, but Dugu Jian who was beside him snorted coldly: "Then what about the captives of our country of Wei?!"

Xie Yuan looked at him coldly, and his voice was cold and calm: "It's already been killed, Song has no Huren prisoners."

"Then you are still talking about a bird!" Dugujian stood up excitedly again, and shouted at Xie Yuan, "My surname is Xie, I have been displeased with you for a long time! Stop making such shameless demands! "

"Show some fucking respect! What are you, dare to yell at our general like that?!" Erdan Xiao yelled back with a rough throat.

Shen Liuzhen's steady and gentle voice came out, with a slightly weak hoarseness, and said:

"Dugujian, I forgot what I told you yesterday. This is a peace talk, not a vegetable market."

Xie Yuan also stretched out his arms, and his slender and handsome hands boldly and gracefully blocked the chest and abdomen of Erdan Xiao who was about to rush out.

Xiao Erdan glanced at his general's condensed side face, and immediately sat back down in silence.

And then... there was an unbearable silence in the camp.

Eunuch Hu didn't move his head, but turned his eyes, looking at Shen Liuzhen and then at Xie Yuan.Princess Huaizhen put on an air of arrogance, but stared at Shen Liuzhen with hatred, and rolled her eyes angrily.

And the other people in the two camps stared at each other with red eyes, looking like sworn enemies.

In comparison, Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan's saber-rattling was really polite.

Shen Liuzhen coughed twice, raised his hand and clenched his fist to cover it, then put it on the table in front of him, unconsciously turned the cup on the table, and said with his eyes downcast:

"If exchanging prisoners is indeed a sincerity to stop war and seek peace, but since Song Guo has no captives from Wei Guo, how can we talk about exchanging them? How unfair is it to Wei Guo, so how about Song Guo paying for it? "

"Ridiculous!" Xie Yuan looked straight at him, and said, "Since Wei Guo owns it, why can't it be released to show sincerity? If my country spends money to buy it, can it be considered sincerity? It's a business!"

Shen Liuzhen still didn't look at her, but with a heavy face, he said, "Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as Wei Guo. All soldiers who surrendered to Song Guo will become soldiers of our Wei Guo. If they serve in the army, they are Wei Guo soldiers." He is no longer a countryman, so he is not a prisoner of Song State."

Xie Yuan sneered, gritted his teeth and said: "Serving in the army? Master Shen said it too nicely. Wei Jun often pushes the captured soldiers and civilians to the forefront, forcing and driving them to charge forward with bows and arrows. Soldier, with such evil deeds, you can talk nonsense with your eyes open and beautify it to such an extent..."

Dugu Jian sneered loudly, also full of resentment, and said:

"Hahahaha... this is evil?! Then what do you say about your Song army going back to the battle and killing them all?! At least you are a prisoner of our country Wei. If you have made military achievements in the charge, you will be promoted and rewarded.

If not, our Xianbei population is so much smaller than your Han people, how can you have such a large force and kill the Quartet? ! "

Lonely Jian changed his posture, boldly pressed his hand on the table, and said mockingly:

"Let me give you an example nearby. The captain of the Song Army, Zhang Guo, who surrendered in the battle five years ago, is now leading the army and has become a general in the northern military town of our Wei state. Now you let him go back, do you think he is willing? Go back?"

Xie Yuan's eyes shook, and he pursed his lips, feeling that he had lost this round.

The state of Song really did not have the "mind" like the people of Wei.

Although they know that they have a small population and enough troops, they treat the soldiers and civilians captured every time as slaves, and give the soldiers and slaves the opportunity to be promoted with military merit, and let them kill the enemy in order to save their lives.

This set of rules is also one of Wei's powerful and fierce military forces.

When Xie Yuan and the others regained the Southwest last time, they borrowed from the Wei State's system and had the reserve battalion she formed.

As far as cruelty is concerned... Song Guo looked down on all the Hu tribes in Beiyi, and hated them to the bone. Every time they captured them, they killed all of them... It was really not much better.
