I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 290 The Battle of the Lips and Tongues
Early in the morning, before the Jin army left the camp, a group of Qingtang cavalry holding white flags appeared outside the gate, about a dozen of them.

Came directly to the camp gate.Judging by his posture, he is a messenger.

"Tuoba Ge, envoy of Qingtang Dynasty, asks to see Fu Shuai, Marquis of Wu'an, envoy of Jiannan Jiedu of Jin Dynasty."

When the two armies are at war, there are usually only two purposes for sending envoys. The first is to seek peace, and the second is to engage in war.

"Let the army go out of the camp one by one according to the deployment, and advance normally. Shiro, you go and bring someone in. Then let Shi Wannian, Lei Bo, Zheng Fengchun and others come to the central army camp."

Fu Jinchuan is putting on his armor at the moment. Although he is the most coach and hardly has the chance to dance in person, he still carefully inspected the straps and gaps everywhere.

After half a stick of incense, a young man in a white fur coat with an agate band on his head walked into the Jin army's central tent.

This is the first time Tuoba Ge has seen Fu Jinchuan. The man in front of him is almost the same age. He has a majestic appearance. Even if he is sitting there, he can tell that he is tall and burly, with a terrifying light in his eyes, which can be called sharp revealing.

He took a step forward and folded his left back on his chest, lowered his head slightly, "Tuoba Ge, boy, I have met Fu Shuai."

"Prince, you don't need to be too polite, just speak up if you have something to say. You should have seen that the army is still being mobilized. The commander-in-chief is preparing to lead the army out. Time is tight, so there is no need to be polite."

Fu Jinchuan also knew that the person who came was Tuoba Ge, the second prince of the Qingtang army, but no matter who the other party was, he was an envoy of Qingtang, so there was no need to be polite.

Tuoba Ge was also somewhat prepared before he came, and he didn't think there was anything wrong when he heard that the Jin country coach was so straightforward.After all, the current strategic initiative is in the hands of Jin people.

And this one is so young, putting on this posture and not humiliating him, it is already considered that this general has passed the people.

"General Fu, I'm here this time. I hope that the two families will stop their troops and shake hands to make peace. This time, Qingtang sent troops because they were bewitched by those traitors in your country, so they acted recklessly, causing casualties to both countries. , This is what the Majesty does not want to see, so I, Qingtang, are willing to offer two thousand cattle and sheep to Da Jin as an apology, hoping to turn the war with Da Jin into jade."

Naturally, Fu Jinchuan was not the only one in the tent at this time, there were also Jiedu judge Xu Yinglong, army enlisted Zhang Gao, Li Fazhen, chief secretary Cui Shuji, and the new enlisted army Tuoba Hao who was extremely embarrassed standing in the tent at the moment, and the generals included General Zhen Guo Zhao Yuanqi, Fu Weichuan, the commander of the Yabing Army, Lei Bo, the envoy of the Guizheng Army, and Chen Jiao, the deputy general.

This remark naturally caused everyone to laugh again and again.

Without waiting for Fu Jinchuan to speak, Xu Yinglong, the judge of Jiedu, retorted: "Prince Tuoba, don't you think it's a little late for your trip? It's been almost two months since my army came here, and you only want to ask for peace now? Before When you Qingtang army attacked my Dading Garrison Fort, did you think about asking for peace? When you captured Gansongling, did you think about asking for peace? When you besieged Songzhou, did you think about asking for peace? During the camp, did you ever think about asking for peace?"

Xu Yinglong's repeated questioning was quite aggressive.But Fu Jinchuan felt that what he said was a little gentle.

Facing the interrogation, Tuoba Ge's face remained normal, and he said, "What this gentleman said makes sense, but one moment and another moment. It's good for both families to stop fighting now."

As soon as he heard Tuoba Ge talking about this moment and that moment, Shi Wannian shouted directly: "What was it then and then? When I first came here, I was showing off my strength. Now I don't want to fight when I'm at a disadvantage? What do you think?" Fight as soon as you fight, or leave if you don’t want to fight? How can it be so cheap, Commander, why don’t you just cut off this bird prince to sacrifice the banner, and if you work hard today, you will definitely defeat the Qingtang army.”

Shi Wannian's words attracted several generals to echo loudly.

"Yes, kill the sacrificial flag."

Tuoba Ge didn't panic when he heard everyone's words, but just calmly looked at Fu Jinchuan who was sitting in the main seat.

Then I saw this person raised his hand lightly, and the noisy Chinese army tent immediately quieted down. Tuoba Ge couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this scene.

He is the prince of Qingtang, not a vassal who has never seen the world, but these generals in the tent are all wearing armor, mighty and brave, and they all have that kind of sturdy aura after hundreds of battles.He is also a person in the army all year round, and he can sense Tao.

These titans are often the most difficult to control.And the general in front of him just gestured casually, making the originally noisy big tent quiet, audible and subtle.This shows that this Marquis of Wu'an must be a man of great prestige in the army on weekdays.

This is not achieved by just relying on family background.

Facing these arrogant soldiers in the army, if they don't have extraordinary skills and abilities, who would be convinced?Thinking of the illustrious reputation of the magnificent man in front of him, he knew that there are no men without merit under the great name.

"Prince Tuoba, please go back. The matter of asking for peace is beyond what I can predict. As the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, I specialize in conquest and hunting. Want to ask for peace? Go to the capital, what you want In the Great Jin, only His Majesty can make a decision. Besides, as a general of the Great Jin, if anyone violates our territory of the Great Jin, there is only one way to fight. The invading Qingtang people will fight to the end."

After Fu Jinchuan finished speaking, Tuoba Ge immediately said: "Commander, don't forget, I still have an army of more than [-] in Qingtang, if the fight continues, the outcome is unknown, and there are still red lotus troops in the hinterland of Xichuan. Even if the commander-in-chief can defeat our army, how much energy will he have to deal with the Red Lotus Army? Now that the two countries have stopped fighting and shake hands, isn't it the best policy for the commander-in-chief to clean up the civil strife? And the commander-in-chief is young and weak, if Is it a good thing for you, Commander-in-Chief, to defeat my army of the Qing and Tang Dynasties and make a world-class achievement?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and all the staff were silent.

Because he said a very sensitive thing, Fu Jinchuan was too young.At only 22 years old, he has already been appointed as Jiannan Jiedu envoy.

His father Fu Maoxiu, the Duke of England, was already past his age when he called him handsome.

After a long while, Xu Yinglong retorted: "Prince Tuoba, please don't scare me. It's not a good thing to destroy your Qingtang and make extraordinary achievements in the world?"

Here, Lei Bo also cursed directly, "You thief chief is so cunning, and you still want to disturb our army's morale. Commander, please order to kill him."

"Marshal, please order to kill him."

At this time, the instigator Tuoba Ge's forehead was already slightly sweating, but it was cold sweat.It is blocked by the forehead band, so others can't see it.But it's not because these people shouted to kill them.

Because the sharp eyes of the person who was looking at him directly shocked his mind and almost broke his defense.

"Hahaha" Fu Jinchuan's hearty laughter eased the chill atmosphere in Yuan Ben in the big tent, and all the generals also stood in the queue.

"I've often heard that Tuoba Ge, the second prince of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, is both wise and brave. Although I don't know how wise and brave I see today, my three-inch tongue is enough to be a debater. But what you say doesn't make sense. The Qingtang Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the northwest of my Great Jin Dynasty has been stable since then, and I don’t have to be in command of the army, and I can spend a few years in Shangjing City to live a peaceful life. Wouldn’t it be beautiful? Why do I bother to come to Jiannan Xichuan to deal with you?"

"Judge Xu just said very well. Isn't it time for you to take Songzhou and go straight to Chengdu? You can't fight now, don't you want to fight?"

"late."

"I will still lead the army today! I wait for warriors, there is no peace, only war!"

"This land of Dajin is not something you can come and leave whenever you want."

"But God has the virtue of loving life, and I will also show you a clear way here."

"If you don't want to fight, why not let Tuoba Chide lead the sheep to the gate of my camp?"

"I am the leader of the army, so I can't negotiate a peace without authorization, but if a foreign country comes to surrender, I can accept it."

"how?"

After hearing this, Tuoba Ge's face changed slightly, "What does the general mean, that he will never let my hundreds of thousands of troops die? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "Your Central Plains talk is good. There is such a saying as 'the fish dies and the net breaks'. Unfortunately, I have seen fish that can break the net for so many years. Why don't you go back and try it? Have a look. Is my net so easy to break?"

Tuoba Ge sighed and said: "The general is really not worried? You must know, the cunning rabbit is dead and the dog cooks, the bird is the best bow to hide."

Fu Jinchuan shook his head and said: "It's useless, you say this, I have to fight to the death to avoid suspicion, and if your country wants to seek peace, you can send people to Beijing, and I can give your country's envoy A guide, other than that, I can’t think of anything else that can help you, Prince Tuoba, go back and tell Tuoba Chide, you can either surrender or fight. It’s impossible to ask for peace with me.”

"Tuoba joins the army and sees off the guests."

When Tuoba Ge heard the words of seeing off the guests, he knew that this mission had completely failed, and he had actually been prepared for it long ago.

Getting along in different places, if it were him, he would not agree.

But then he realized that "Tuoba joined the army", it turned out that his elder brother had already joined the army in the shogunate of the Jin State coach.

When Tuoba Hao heard this, he could only respond: "No."

Then Tuoba Hao followed Fu Silang and accompanied Tuoba Ge out of the Chinese army camp.

Outside the tent, Tuoba Shiqi and more than a dozen Nuyalang were waiting, and they were a bit surprised to see Tuoba Ge and Tuoba Hao coming out together.

Tuoba Shiqi thought for a while, and nodded to the other party, and the other dozen or so Nu Yalang saluted as usual according to Qingtang etiquette.

He was outside the tent, but he also heard the conversation inside just now, and knew that Tuoba Ge had said almost everything he could say.

And it doesn't have the morale of the Qingtang people, although this thing doesn't exist in the first place.

Tuoba Hao and Tuoba Ge walked side by side, Tuoba Shiqi and Fu Silang walked a few steps behind, the soldiers on both sides of the barracks had already lined up, and some were already leading their horses out of the camp.

"Congratulations." Tuoba Hao spoke first.

"What's so exciting, actually, I'm a little envious of you now, big brother." Tuoba Ge laughed at himself.

Tuobahao laughed and said, "Envy a prisoner? You will be a maharaja in the future. It's a joke to say that."

Tuoba Ge said: "Majesty? Let's talk about it first if you can return to Hongshan Palace alive. Are you joining the army now? The Jin army doesn't seem to have given you a big official?"

Tuoba Hao said: "It is the kindness of Dajin that allows me to live. If you want to be officially appointed as an official, you have to wait until you go to the capital to meet the Daojun Emperor. I asked a few colleagues, and if I am in this situation, it is possible that I will be appointed as an official." Khan gave me some men and horses, and let me be a vassal of the Jin Dynasty in the northwest, and maybe a prince. I guess I will spend the rest of my life in Shangjing. Although I have never seen Shangjing, I heard that Shangjing is very prosperous. In short, this life should be I can’t go back to Hongshan Palace.”

Tuoba Ge said: "Then what do you want? Go to Shangjing to live a rich life, or go to the northwest?"

"Hahaha, how can I think about this? It's like the two of us fighting back and forth in the past. In fact, it's just that the Maharaja wants us to fight. Otherwise, he will directly let you be the next Maharaja. Who would object? Some things are never in our hands.”

"Hahaha"

It's rare for the two of them to talk so calmly, because the two brothers finally don't have to argue about anything.

It wasn't until now that the two were completely on opposite sides, only to realize that their brother wasn't so hideous, and it didn't mean that the two reconciled.It just doesn't matter now.

The total strength of the two sides in the Songzhou battlefield exceeded 20, which was related to the fortunes of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, and related to the gains and losses of Jiannan and Xichuan in the Great Jin Dynasty.

It is also related to the future of the two.The two people who have no conflict of interest naturally have no intention of arguing about something.

Walking to the gate of the camp, many Jin troops have already left the camp gate and started to march north. Fu Silang took a few tooth soldiers and sent them a few miles away, and then said: "That's it, excuse me Not far away, you guys go, maybe we can see you again later."

Tuoba Ge could hear what he meant, smiled and galloped back.

The Qingtang camp had already made preparations. Tuoba Ge and Tuoba Shiqi entered the Great Buddha House and reported the results of the trip in this way. After hearing this, Tuoba Chide sneered again and again.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I already knew this would be the result, so get ready to fight."

Everyone heard it, and they all knew that there was only one way to fight.So they retired one after another and made preparations for the army.

"I saw my eldest brother." After everyone left, only Tuoba Shiqi and Tuoba Ge remained.

"Huh?" Tuoba Chide looked at him coldly.

"Brother is now joining the army of Fu Jinchuan." After speaking, Tuoba Ge saluted, then turned and left.

This made Tuoba Chide stunned.

In fact, Tuoba Ge only wanted to tell his father that his elder brother was still alive.

But Tuoba Chide didn't seem to care about this matter at all, and even felt that he shouldn't mention it, even as if having such a son made him feel ashamed.

And Tuoba Ge is just a little bit chilled, you must know that although the eldest brother Tuoba Hao has always been at odds with him, but he clearly remembers that Tuoba Hao has been deeply loved by the Maharaja since he was young, and he has to take him with him every time he goes out to battle. go to.

In the first fight with him, in fact, it was not the position of the great monarch, but the favor of his father.

This time, he was also captured by the Jin army because he traveled with the Maharaja.

In the end, all I got was, "Huh?"

And that cold, shy face.

After Tuoba Ge left the Great Buddha House, Tuoba Chide listened to Tuoba Shiqi tell all the experiences of this trip.

"He actually did a good job, and it didn't hurt my Dabai Gaoguo's prestige."

Tuoba Chide is very satisfied with Tuoba Ge's ingenuity and style of doing things.

Just watching him leave at the end, that attitude was too disrespectful.

If his mother wasn't Ye Lishi.If his wife is not Ye Lishi.
