Chapter 1038 Negotiation
Pushing Wutu away hard, the Southern Barbarian King still remained angry: "The Qin army is really hateful! I have given up Jiaoyang, but they are still aggressive and want to block my way back to China!"
In his heart, this time entering the Central Plains was a great opportunity. He took advantage of the Qin and Chu dispute to take advantage of the troubled waters, occupied some cities, arrested girls, plundered a large number of gold and silver supplies, and returned with a full load.
But unexpectedly, the King of Qin issued a strategic decision to first defeat the Southern Barbarians and then destroy the Chu State.
This decision directly caused the Southern Barbarian army to stop in Jiaoyang, eliminating the turmoil that foreign tribes invaded and ravaged the Central Plains.
At present, the Southern Barbarians are trapped in the wilderness, with the front and back roads blocked, and the breakthrough is severely damaged. If you want to go back alive, you may have to seek peace.
Thinking of this, the Southern Barbarian King had to stare at Wu Tu again and said coldly: "You, go talk to the Qin army!"
"Ah? This..."
Wu Tu wanted to say something, but the Nanman King interrupted him and said, "Tell them that we are willing to return all the captured girls and gold and silver, just to return to the country safely!"
"Yes, yes..." Wu Tu swallowed, although she was very scared, she had to take the order.
After understanding the current situation, the Barbarian King did not dare to break through again, and sent civil servant Wu Tu, and found the temporary camp of the Qin army the next morning.
He came with a white flag, and along the way, he also reported his identity as an envoy, so he was not threatened by his life.
In the military tent, soldiers came to report. When Yan Qi heard the news, he frowned slightly: "The barbarian army sent envoys at this time, and they must come to seek peace, but I don't know what to say."
Hearing this, a side general immediately said, "The enemy has fallen into a Jedi, and it is hard to fly. If you see the last general, you will not see his commander."
"Yes, the Southern Barbarians are foreign enemies, and they are finally a big problem. Now that the extermination is about to happen, no matter what he is noisy." Someone else agreed.
However, Tian Su stood up and said, "Seeing or not seeing has no effect on the overall situation, but I believe that in the current situation of the Nanman, since they have to send envoys to seek peace, they must have certain bargaining chips.
, it can only be the arrested people of Jiaoyang and the large amount of gold and silver materials that were plundered."
When Yan Qi heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then let's see you and listen to what he says."
As he spoke, he waved his hands to the soldiers waiting for the order.
"No!" The latter took the order and left. Soon after, he brought Wu Tu into the military tent.
As soon as he came in, Wu Tu's face was filled with smirks. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and bowed deeply, and said happily: "I have met General Yan Qi."
As an official in the diplomatic affairs of the Southern Barbarians, he naturally understood the etiquette of the Central Plains.
Yan Qi waved his hand and said in a plain voice: "The messenger doesn't have to be too polite. If you have any questions, just tell me."
"Haha, that's it." Wu Tu smiled again and said, "We have no grievances and no grudges with your army. The reason why we have a dispute is completely a misunderstanding. My king thinks that if we fight like this, we will fight again.
If you continue, both sides will be defeated. It is better to stop the military and make peace. It will be beneficial to everyone."
"Yan He?" Although he guessed the other party's purpose, Yan Qi sneered and said without hesitation: "Any foreign army, without permission, enters the Central Plains, will be regarded as a war provocation!
Our Qin army is also the Chinese army! You and other foreign invaders! Do you think there is no injustice or grudge?"
"This, the general is so serious." Wu Tu said with kind words: "We entered the Central Plains without our original intention, but we were completely invited by the King of Chu..."
"That's the problem of the King of Chu! There is no need to talk about it here! Besides, the King of Chu cannot represent the entire Central Plains!" Yan Qi interrupted him directly and said, "I only know that you have occupied Jiaoyang and slaughtered me ten thousand times.
Thousands of compatriots, arresting innocent girls is a heinous crime!”
"But Jiaoyang is actually in the land of Chu, not the land of Qin, and we have no intention of opposing the King of Qin." Wu Tu tried to defend himself.
"It is the responsibility of every soldier to defend the national home! Our army has no tolerance for foreign invaders such as you!" Yan Qi said seriously.
"Then, how can the general be willing to make peace?" Wu Tu was a little anxious.
But Yan Qi asked back: "The bandits are waiting to die now, why are they making peace?"
"The general's words are wrong. If he continues to fight, he will only lose both sides and will not benefit anyone..."
"Hmph! If you have the power of a battle, how could the King of the Southern Barbarians send you here?" Yan Qi sneered: "From the general's perspective, you might as well surrender. Even if you struggle to die, you will have no way to live!"
"This, General, I came here with sincerity, why should you be aggressive?" Wu Tu's forehead was already sweating, and while speaking, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves and wipe it.
"Sincerity? Where is the sincerity?" Yan Qi asked again.
"We, we are willing to send all the captured girls back..." Wu Tu said tentatively.
Hearing this, Yan Qi couldn't help but look at Tian Su. Sure enough, this was the only bargaining chip for the barbarian army. He frowned first, and then asked, "How many people have you caught!?"
"Six...more than six thousand." Wu Tu said bravely.
"What!?" Hearing this, Yan Qi widened his eyes, felt anger, and rushed straight to his forehead.
A Qin general at his hand was even more furious, and suddenly pulled out the battle knife, shouting loudly: "It's outrageous!"
The sound of the sword being sheathed scared Wu Tu, and while screaming, he also retreated continuously and waved his hands in a hurry: "Central Plains etiquette, two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed, but they will not be killed!"
Yan Qi raised his hand and stopped the Qin general. The latter was so angry that he reluctantly returned the sword to the sheath and still glared at Wu Tu.
After being in danger, Wu Tu couldn't help but let out a long breath, wiped his forehead and said cold sweat: "General Yan Qi, as long as you promise to open Nanping Pass, these more than 6,000 girls will
It will be a great benefit to both our army without any damage."
"Where are the food and supplies you searched for!?" Yan Qi asked again.
Wu Tu originally wanted to hold back when he negotiated, but now he didn't dare to do so. He quickly said, "Send it back together, and send it back together, and even a tael of silver will not be less."
More than 6,000 young female compatriots, countless gold and silver supplies. This matter is not bad. As the commander of the first army, Yan Qi actually had this right to decide, but he did not dare.
After measuring left and right, I could only say coldly: "Get out first! I will think a little about this."
"This, general, why should you hesitate about this matter..."
Wu Tu wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Qi's expression was cold: "Get out! I don't want to kill you!"
"This is, yes, yes, I'll take my leave..."
The Qin general drew his sword in the previous period and scared Wu Tu to death. Hearing this, he did not dare to stop, so he hurriedly bowed and left.
After he left, the general could not help but clasp his fists and said, "General!"
Yan Qi understood what he meant, waved his hand and interrupted it, pondering: "It's important, I need to pass on the letter to the king."
