A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 226 A Friendly Bond

Can you trust him?Mu Wuxia was very skeptical, but seeing him like this, he still asked hesitantly: "Can you tell me first, what is your plan?"

Shen Zaiya pursed his lips, stood up, and motioned for him to stand up and say something.

Jiang Taohua was wondering where Shen Zaiye had gone, and hadn't come back all day, when Qingmoss came in and said, "The prime minister is out of the city."

out?Tao Hua was a little dazed, and after calculating the time, it seemed that it was almost the same time, so she could only sigh: "Just go out."

It's a lot of money to be able to have these few days of peace, and she can't seriously expect Shen Zaiye to give up attacking Zhao.

This battle will be fought sooner or later.

The sound of gongs and drums came from outside the city, and Jiang Changjue stood in front of Jiang Taohua holding his helmet solemnly and said, "The Great Wei attacked with all its strength. This is a battle of life and death. If Changjue loses, please take care of yourself."

Tao Hua's heart tightened, she squeezed his hand, looked at him seriously and said: "Regardless of victory or defeat, you must remember to save your own life."

Jiang Changjue responded with a smile, but it was useless to answer, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, who knows if he can come back alive?
The sky was dim, and Taohua was looking into the distance from the palace tower, only hearing the screams of killing, and the neighing of horseshoe armor.This time, Shen Zaiye finally made a real move. The army attacked the city with all its strength, and opened the gate of the capital within a few days.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the capital of the country was basically lost. If it were someone else, they would definitely withdraw their troops and flee westward.However, Jiang Changjue has such a stubborn temperament, leading people to fight in the streets, waiting for the reinforcements to come later, dragging Wei's troops for two days, and really connecting with the reinforcements, and working together to close the gate of the capital again.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, which was soul-stirring.It was not easy to open the city gate, and it was even more difficult to close it, but once it was closed again, Wei's morale would inevitably drop.

The entire capital was full of blood, and the cries of countless people enveloped the surroundings. Jiang Taohua looked at it worriedly, and couldn't help shaking her head: "It would be great if there were no wars in this world."

Qingmo stood behind her and said, "If you don't fight, how can you defend the country?"

"A country?" Taohua sighed, "After all, it's not my own imperial power that I'm guarding."

The people of these three kingdoms are all of the same clan, and the ancestors separated to form a rivalry. The so-called national honor and disgrace, in these three kingdoms, is nothing more than a struggle between the three monarchs.She still had the obsession to defend the country of Zhao before, but now seeing the bleak fighting scene, she can't help but start to reflect, is she too selfish?
However, if you don't defend the country of Zhao and give it to others as a vassal country for nothing, you can't swallow this breath no matter how you think about it.

Is there no way to have both?
After half a month of fighting, the two sides finally came to a truce. Jiang Changjue was wounded all over, but he was in good spirits. Lying on the bed, he looked at her and said, "Sister Huang, Great Wei is going to send envoys to negotiate terms."

He didn't make people think that Zhao Guo was weak and deceitful. Even if the troops were insufficient, he still kept people out of the capital. Now that they were willing to come to negotiate terms, it was also a sign of fear.

Looking at the wound on his body with distress, Taohua nodded: "You are amazing."

"Sister Huang thinks, what conditions will they say?" After being happy for a while, Jiang Changjue frowned again: "It's probably about cutting the land or giving money."

What he resisted was only for a while, if the fight continued, both sides would have no good fruit to eat, Zhao Guo would definitely be defeated, and Da Wei would definitely be seriously injured.But if there is no agreement, it will only be Zhao Guo who will suffer more, so the terms must be stricter.

"It's a good thing to have a truce." Taohua smiled: "As for the money, it can be earned back. And the land...they just swallowed the territory of Wu, so they probably won't seek to expand the territory again. But if they really want to, You might as well give them the territory of Wu State in the covenant."

"Okay." Chang Jue nodded, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, still uneasy.

As a result, Wei's envoys came over and negotiated with Zhao Guo's envoys in a very good manner. The general meaning is that as long as they give Wei the land in the previous alliance and give another [-] silver, they can cease the war. Wei promised not to offend Zhao within five years.

The conditions are so generous that Zhao Guobai has taken advantage of it.Jiang Changjue couldn't believe it, he stared at the envoy and asked, "Is there any other request?"

"Yes." The envoy glanced at Jiang Taohua next to him, and said in a low voice: "The Prime Minister of Wei has a request. Since the two countries are good for each other, they should return the married princess to him as a token of sincerity."

Tao Hua was taken aback for a moment, and her heart moved inexplicably, as if she suddenly discovered something.After staring at the envoy for a while, he got up and walked to the palace gate to have a look.

It was quiet outside, the imperial guards were performing their duties, and the civil and military officials of the court were still waiting in the side hall.The whole country of Zhao really seems to belong to Chang Jue.The power of Lu's faction has completely disappeared, and the war has just stopped, and there is always a sense of prosperity.

Is this the result that Shen Zaiye wants?Helping her younger brother to the throne, clearing up the remnants of the court, and suppressing him by external forces, Zhao Guoju's court was unprecedentedly united, and also won prestige and prestige for Chang Jue.

He actually thought so... She hadn't found out yet, thinking that he really wanted to help Mu Wuxia unify the world and take away her home country.

"Sister Huang." Chang Jue came over and looked at her worriedly: "If you don't want to go back, then I..."

"Get me a carriage." Tao Hua smiled, looked at him sideways and said, "I should go find your brother-in-law too."

Jiang Changjue froze for a moment, then patted his head foolishly.He couldn't figure out what was going on between his imperial sister and Shen Zaiye. One moment they were enemies, the next moment they could be together without any grievances, and the next moment, they might be hostile again.

"Are you sincere?" He said a little worriedly: "If it's just for the Zhao country, then there's no need."

"No." Taohua looked at him seriously and said, "This time it's for me. That person is too hard-spoken and too soft-hearted. Your imperial sister owes him a lot and you have to pay it back."

"..." Chang Jue couldn't understand these words, but looking at her sincere eyes, he ordered someone to prepare a carriage and take her to Shen Zaye's side first.

The gate of the city was ajar, and Shen Zaiye was waiting outside riding a horse. When he saw the carriage coming out, there was no reaction on his face. He just dismounted and walked forward to carry the man out.

"Master." Taohua hooked his neck with a smile: "How much do you want to be a concubine? How dare you exchange this great mountain and river?"

With a soft snort, Shen Zaiye said with a straight face: "In front of the three armed forces, be serious. Now you are just a friendly bond between the two countries."
