My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 230: Dividing the sheep in the big account (Lu Yang)
The hot wind blew across the field. At the gate of the front camp of the Yan army facing south, the leading general looked at the greeting card in his hand and handed it back to the Wei envoy opposite, with disdain in his eyes.

"You, the king and his ministers of the Wei State cannot defeat you, and you want to come and ask for peace? Haha, let's go in..."

"Thank you sergeant."

The deputy envoy of Wei was teased by a small school guard guarding the camp gate. He felt extremely uncomfortable, but he did not dare to show it. He bowed respectfully to the other party, then returned to the carriage and whispered two words to the envoy Liu Gun inside. sentence.

The team then resumed their journey and slowly entered the camp gate.

The Wei soldiers who were guarding the carriage were frightened. Most of them saw the officers and soldiers of the Yan army who were patrolling and on duty. Many of them still had blood stains on their armor. They were staring at them with cold eyes and their hands were on the hilts of their knives. , as if to kill them at any time.

"These are the soldiers who have always won battles and killed many enemies." Liu Gun looked through the corner of the curtain at the cold and murderous faces outside.

Further inside, there were many bonfires with large pots on them. Many Yan soldiers were sitting on the fires chatting and laughing, or applauding two shirtless comrades not far away who were wrestling. When they saw the carriage approaching, , tacitly stopped everything, and instinctively stretched out his hand to the weapon beside him.

As they approached the camp gate of the Chinese army, the envoy team was stopped. Liu Gun was asked by the soldiers to get out of the car, so he could only bring his deputy envoy in.

Such rules are common. Liu Gun bowed his hand, thanked the soldier, and followed him with his deputy into the most central position of the Yan army.

"The two envoys are waiting here." The soldier who led the way led them to a stop more than 200 steps away from the commander's tent. Then he went to the tent entrance and met Wu Zixun outside, who glanced at Liu Gun. , then he dismissed the soldiers with a smile, walked up to Liu Gun, and without saluting, shook out his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the other person with a smile.

"Hey, this is not the envoy from last time. Why are you here to see my king again? Is there no one in the Wei court or does anyone else dare not come?"

As an envoy, Liu Gun naturally remembered the people around King Xia and bowed his hands with a smile.

"Every minister in the court is busy, but I have nothing to do here."

"Humph!"

Wu Zixun was not a fool. The other party's words were obviously to exalt the Wei State and belittle the Yan State, so he left a sentence: "The king is having a banquet with the generals. Since you have nothing to do, please wait here to be summoned."

After saying that, he turned around and left. When he arrived at the commander's tent, he only waited outside and did not go in to inform him.

Liu Gun suddenly had the urge to slap himself in the mouth. What kind of addiction is there? This is to offend the other party.

At this moment, he was standing here in embarrassment. From time to time, the carriage was pulled back by slaves from outside, and the carriage was filled with some bloody Wei-style armor and weapons.

Seeing that such a strong barbarian was actually among the Yan army, doing hard work, Liu Gun was speechless in surprise. Such a strong and tall figure was the seed of a strong soldier in the Central Plains.

He actually works as a cart puller here...

Soon more slaves appeared, chatting and joking in the slave language in twos and threes, but they were not as enslaved as Liu Gun thought.

Around them, dead and injured horses that had been brought back from the battlefield were hung up, their skins were stripped off, and their stomachs were disemboweled. The bloody smell rushed over them, making Liu Gong and Liu Gong feel nauseated as they looked at the camp. Looking at the cunning and ferocious movements of these soldiers using their knives, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifying it would be for them to use their knives to fall on their own soldiers on the battlefield.

At this time, Wu Zixun over there suddenly waved to them.The deputy envoy beside Liu Gun quickly reminded Liu Gun, and the two of them immediately stepped forward.

"You two, go in. The king has agreed to see you, but... it's best not to talk nonsense. The king and the generals in the army are not soft-hearted people like me."

"Yes."

Liu Gun said with an apologetic smile, why didn't he know what kind of person that King Xia was? He heard that he was coming over again in the court, and his calves felt cramped.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the timidity in his heart, and shouted loudly into the tent: "Foreign Minister Liu Gun, come to pay homage to King Xia of Yan Kingdom!"

"come in."

Following a faint word from inside, Liu Gun stretched out his hand, tremblingly opened the curtain, and walked in together with the deputy envoy.

What hit me was the warm light of fire.

In his field of vision, a bonfire was roasting a golden whole sheep, and on both sides were figures wearing armor or military uniforms, crowding the handsome tent.

This is a different feeling from what I saw before at the Riverside Camp in Chendu County.

Except for a few familiar Yan generals that I had seen before, the rest were all unfamiliar faces. There were so many generals leading the army around this King of Xia of the Yan Kingdom that it was frightening. They all looked majestic and majestic. It was obvious at a glance that they were experienced soldiers. A veteran on the battlefield.

The burning bonfire, the aroma of roasting mutton, filled the tent.

Liu Gun walked through the middle, peeking around from the corner of his eye from time to time.

On the right are Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Le Jin, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai.On the left are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Niu Gai. Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu are also sitting here, such as Qi Youhu, Zhong Ji, Anuhu, and Meng Tuo, who has just surrendered, in the rear camp. The disposal of prisoners and the construction of siege engines did not come.

All the generals also stopped joking and looked at the Wei envoys with serious expressions or sneered ferociously as they stepped forward.

"Foreign Minister...Liu...Liu Gun pays homage to King Xia!"

Stopping, Liu Gun took a look at Su Chen, who was first in the middle and was dressed in royal robes, as well as Li Xuanba and Dian Wei standing on both sides, and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

"Envoy Liu, we are all acquaintances. There is no need to be so outgoing. Come, bring a chair for the two envoys." Su Chen boldly ordered Wu Zixun at the tent.

"no, I'm fine!"

Liu Gun waved his hand quickly, "The foreign minister came here this time to talk to the king..."

"Reconciliation?"

Su Chen interrupted him directly, and then looked at the generals in the tent, "Wei Guo came to discuss peace again, are they not afraid that it will be like last time?" Previously, Su Chen had persuaded Wei Guo to collect things, The story of moving all the people in the city was spread throughout the Yan State. It was even circulated in the Wei State for a while, causing a lot of commotion.

Hearing Su Chen say it in such a tone, everyone in the tent burst into laughter. Zhang Liao whispered about it to Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu who had just arrived, smiling.

Liu Gun blushed and raised his hand again.

"The foreign minister is indeed here to negotiate peace."

At this time, Zhang Fei stood up and came over, shouting to Wu Zixun outside to come over and share the meat. Su Chen sat behind the long desk and continued: "Since we are negotiating for peace, you should know that sincerity is indispensable, and... Gu's appetite recently very good."

The deputy envoy of Wei quickly took out the gift list and handed it over with both hands.

Su Chen only glanced at it, then threw it aside, leaned back, and raised his fingers: "These belongings can no longer satisfy Gu, so let's do this... Gu only has two requirements, the three states on the south bank of the Hun River, First, Linzhou, Junzhou, and Shangzhou are all ceded to Yan; secondly, how about the Emperor of Wei recognize the Emperor of Yan as his uncle?"

The first request was to cut Wei Guo's flesh with a knife. For the second request, everyone knew that the Emperor of Yan was only a four or five-year-old child. It was pure to ask an emperor in his fifties to worship him as his uncle. It's meant to tease them.

"Your Majesty...these demands are really too much."

"Isn't it too much for Ambassador Liu to come to discuss peace with the idea of ​​procrastination?" Su Chen looked at him with a smile, and then pointed to the mutton that was being divided by Zhang Fei and Wu Zixun.

"The current state of Wei is like a sheep on fire. Do you really think the emperor can turn the tide?"

Su Chen stood up, walked up to Liu Gun and patted him on the shoulder, "Still think Gu's army has fought so many battles and lost many soldiers, so it can't continue to fight? If you and the emperor, civil and military officials behind you If you think like this, you will suffer a loss and people will continue to die."

"Yes." Liu Gun felt a deep chill from these words, and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, "The foreign minister will go back now and inform my emperor of King Xia's conditions."

"Well, let's go."

Su Chen waved his hand and sent the two of them away. He walked back to the long case with a smile, "Do you really think that the orphan will put conditions on them?"

Zhang Fei, who was cutting the meat over there, raised his face: "What if they really give it to me?"

"Is there such a good thing?" Zhang Liao also laughed, "Of course I followed the example of the great king. He just took it and continued to fight!"

Haha!

There was laughter again in the tent.

Su Chen took the mutton, cut off a small piece, and held it in front of his eyes for a moment: "Whether they accept this condition or not, we will do whatever we want. Generals, you may as well step forward and cut it yourself if you want to eat any part of the lamb."

"Haha, if the king says this, then I won't be polite!"

Zhang Fei, who was cutting meat, took Wu Zixun and threw him aside, took the knife and cut off a leg of lamb directly, "The tower belongs to me and my second brother!"

He said and took a bite of the leg of lamb.

The generals in the tent suddenly became noisy. They all stepped forward to grab the knife from Zhang Fei's hand and cut off a large piece of meat from the roasted sheep.

Xia Houyuan pulled off the forelimb and threw it to Zhang He: "The right section of the north gate wall belongs to our Qingzhou soldiers!"

In the crowded crowd, Li Jue squeezed out from the crowd. He also held a leg of lamb in his hand. "The left section belongs to me, Xiliang..." Before he could finish his words, Gao Shun snatched it away and threw it to the In Zhang Liao's hands.

"...Now it belongs to me and the Bingzhou Army!"

Dong Zhuo stomped his feet angrily when he saw this, pointed at Li Jue and cursed, "Just like Guo Aduo, you can't be careful. You've lost all the lamb legs you got!"

The tent was buzzing with noise and people were shouting. They were all a group of brave generals, fighting and fighting. Li Jue hugged Zhang Liao, but Guan Yu held his head with one hand and pushed him away, knocking down Zhang He who was behind him. , Le Jin spat out the mutton in his mouth, and rushed towards him without saying a word, but Xia Houyuan quickly grabbed him around the waist. Even so, Le Jin kept kicking and waving his fists at Li Jue in Xia Houyuan's arms.

Li Xuanba was so excited that he was about to go down, but Dian Wei drank him back.

"What are you doing, are you going to kill someone?"

There were also people sitting in the tent without moving. Ma Chao asked Lu Bu, "Why doesn't Marquis Wen go?"

"How can you and I cavalry attack the city? Let them fight over these things." Lu Bu sneered, tore off a piece of mutton and threw it into his mouth, watching the fight in front of him with relish.

"All right!"

At the head of the table, Su Chen took a sip of wine and looked at the scene where everyone was crowded into a ball. His lips were slightly opened: "Lu Yang is great. There are still four countries to fight in the future... How can a mere Wei country be defeated?" It’s worth letting all the generals fight for it.”

This sentence silenced everyone around him. Li Jue took his fingers out of Gao Shun's nostrils and wiped them on his robe.

"That's right, why are you arguing? Give me the leg of lamb quickly." "Here it is!" Zhang Liao threw the leg of lamb back to the opponent and said with a smile: "But when you enter the imperial city, you have to give it to me and the Bingzhou Army!"

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh, "That's it!"

The generals were all satisfied. They couldn't help but look at the person who finally made up his mind. Su Chen would naturally not object. After all, he couldn't ask for such enthusiasm from the generals!
After that, all the eyes in the tent fell back on the messy whole sheep that had been cut up. They lost their appetite and picked up the empty bowls, asking Zhang Fei to quickly open the wine jar.

"I know you are thinking about my drink!"

Zhang Fei babbled and reluctantly took out the drink from under the chair.For a time, there was a lot of drinking and drinking in the tent, and the fatigue of the continuous fighting made the same and different generals sit together to drink and eat meat, holding up bowls to each other and talking and laughing.

In the rear camp, Zhuge Liang and Yang Yuhuan came with a large number of craftsmen and were busy repairing and building batches of siege equipment. Soon after, the outline of the war was revealed in a few days!
