The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 409
In the following days, news of Hengshan's series of victories in Shazhou spread throughout the world.The reputation of the Hengshan Army is at its peak, attracting the attention of people all over the world.The forces of all parties are terrified by this, and they are more vigilant towards Hengshan. On top of commerce, they began to strengthen control, hoping to curb the development of Hengshan.

The news of the defeat of the Yun army reached Floating Cloud City that day, and the entire ruling and opposition parties were shaken.Bai Yunting was furious, and immediately ordered Ma Kuiming to be escorted to the capital and imprisoned.Everyone was very puzzled why the mere Hengshan Army was able to turn the tide of the battle and defeat the mighty Tianyun Army in just over two months despite the huge disparity in strength.One must know that the Sky Cloud Nation has undergone more than two years of plowing and fighting strategies, and its overall combat power has been greatly improved.Originally thought that with a strong army, they could destroy Eternity in the west and conquer the Central Plains in the east.But such a strong army that had been placed with high hopes was actually defeated by a small local separatist force in Shazhou. How could this make Tianyun Kingdom feel embarrassed?
With the continuous delivery of information, and the memorial played by Ma Kuiming, who is guilty of the crime, it is said that the Hengshan Army possesses a magical weapon that can take the head of a general from a distance of one mile.Wherever it passes, the flesh of a mortal cannot bear it at all, and everything it touches will be turned into ashes.In this battle, Ma Kuiming was almost hit by this weapon, which caused the whole army to be in turmoil and lead to a rout.

Seeing this, Bai Yunting had hesitation on his face. He knew Ma Kuiming well, so naturally he didn't believe that he would deceive him; but this kind of thing was really unbelievable and unbelievable.Earlier he said that Hengshan possessed something called gunpowder, which was invincible within a radius of several feet, and he strongly questioned this.And now there is a kind of ballista that can kill people from a distance of one mile, even the ballista with the longest range cannot reach a distance of one mile.

At this time, Prime Minister Hu Chengjing stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this news is incomprehensible, but I believe in General Ma's character, and he absolutely dare not expire His Majesty."

"But, does this kind of thing really exist in the world?" Bai Yunting spread his hands and said bitterly, "If Hengshan has such a sharp weapon, who in the world can control him?"

"This?" Hu Chengjing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't explain it, and then replied, "I also find it hard to believe this, but the Hengshan envoy is in custody, why don't you let him explain it?"

"That's right." Bai Yunting's eyes lit up, he had long forgotten about the Hengshan envoy, only now did he remember that he was being guarded in the posthouse.Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Let the Hengshan envoy come to see you quickly."

After half an hour, Xie Ming walked up to the main hall with a haggard face, and indifferently saluted Bai Yunting slightly: "The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty. I wonder what His Majesty called the foreign minister for?"

Seeing his resentment, Bai Yunting knew that he had suffered a lot during his detention.But at this time, there is a request to him, and it is inconvenient to punish him for his disrespect, so he immediately smiled and said: "Thank you messenger for suffering these days, I am deeply sorry for that."

"Your Majesty is serious. It is common sense that foreign ministers live in an enemy country. It is common sense." Xie Ming still replied coldly, "Since you are trapped in an enemy country, you must have the intention of dying. If Your Majesty wants to kill foreign ministers, Foreign ministers also have to bow their necks and die calmly."

"Hehe, thank you, please don't worry. His Majesty has a benevolent heart, so he will kill you for no reason." Seeing His Majesty's angry face, Hu Chengjing immediately stood up to make a rescue, "Now, we have come to ask you about something. Look out and thank you The Messenger can tell the truth."

Xie Ming rolled his eyes, showing joy, and looked at Hu Chengjing excitedly, "If the ministers expected it to be true, this time you and I are fighting, I, Hengshan, won, right?"

Bai Yunting and Hu Chengjing looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"Hehe, why did the envoy thank you for saying this?" Hu Chengjing strengthened his composure and showed a calm expression, "Do you think that my Tianyun army of 15 is so easy to get along with? This time I invited you here, it is just Asking something about the Hengshan Army has no other intentions."

"Haha, Prime Minister Hu, don't try to cover it up." Xie Ming laughed loudly, "My lord has planned for a long time, and Tianyun will be defeated in this battle. Now that it is calculated, it is time."

"What?" The faces of Bai Yunting and the officials were shocked. What does it mean to have a plan and defeat Tian Yun? Could it be that all of this is in Lin Yifan's plan?
"Thank you messenger, what do you mean?" Bai Yunting looked at him coldly with a livid face.

Xie Ming stood proudly on top of the main hall, looking at everyone with disdain, "Now that the matter is up to now, I will no longer hide it. As early as after defeating the Eternal Army, my lord predicted that Tianyun and the Xijin werewolf would take advantage of the fire to rob and steal Shazhou. The deployment has been made a long time ago, and the strategy of defending from the south and attacking from the west was adopted to defeat the Xijin werewolf first, and then gather troops to deal with Tianyun. Presumably now the two battles in Shazhou have come to an end. A strong enemy, and finally won a big victory."

When everyone heard this, their faces were livid, looking at the triumphant Xie Ming, they wished they could pounce on him and beat him up.

Bai Yunting's face was pale, and his hands turned blue.It turned out that his plan had already fallen into Hengshan's calculations. Fortunately, he was complacent about it before, thinking that his schemes were unparalleled.

"Nonsense." Hu Chengjing snorted coldly, and was the first to question, "Your army has only tens of thousands of soldiers, so what if your lord expects our army's northern expedition? How can you resist my 15 army going north? "

"That's right. Our Tianyun Army has tens of thousands. As long as we continue to fight, we will eventually be able to capture Quyang Pass and enter Shazhou. How can your Hengshan Army stop our advance?" Soon, someone understood what Hu Chengjing said. Meaning, immediately echoed.

Xie Ming looked at them with a sneer, "Although my Hengshan is small and my troops are weak, my soldiers are well-trained and have a high fighting spirit. I also have the advantage of armor and excellent equipment. Why don't I dare to fight, can't I fight?"

"Hmph, I have soldiers all over Tianyun. Even if an army of tens of thousands cannot win, then add another 10,000+. Could it be that they can't beat your Hengshan?"

"Haha, your country has tens of millions of people, so you can send tens of millions of soldiers to attack." Xie Ming sneered. For broken pieces of jade, not for tiles."

"you...."

"Okay, shut up all of you." Bai Yunting waved his hand impatiently and shouted.

All the ministers hurriedly retreated and stood upright.

Bai Yunting looked at Xie Ming with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, envoy, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. I intend to strike a truce with your side. I wonder what your lord's conditions are?"

Xie Ming bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty, my lord had known about today, and had told his ministers that if Tianyun seeks peace, Hengshan only has three conditions."

"What conditions?" Bai Yunting suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth.However, he was thinking in his heart that if Hengshan's conditions were too excessive, Yun Tianyun would never stop with him and would never compromise.

Xie Ming bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "First, you and I should establish diplomatic relations and send envoys to communicate with each other. Second, the border troops on both sides should not exceed [-] troops. Third, establish business and trade, and communicate with each other. Negotiate and sign a business agreement that is beneficial to both parties."

"That's all?" Everyone was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

Bai Yunting looked at Xie Ming suspiciously, "Thank you messenger, did your lord really only propose these three conditions?"

"It's absolutely true, foreign ministers dare not forget it." Xie Ming nodded affirmatively.

"Well, come here, let's take Xie Ming back to rest first." Bai Yunting nodded slightly, waved his hand immediately, and ordered Xie Ming to be taken away.

After he left, Bai Yunting looked around at the crowd, and asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, what do you think of the three conditions that the envoy offered just now?"

As he spoke, he looked at Hu Chengjing with a questioning look in his eyes.

Hu Chengjing really lived up to everyone's expectations. After thinking for a while, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think these three conditions are feasible."

"Oh, why?" Bai Yunting looked at him with satisfaction and asked.

Hu Chengjing immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think there are three points. First, the army has been severely injured and the morale of the army is chaotic. There must be no more wars. Second, the Eternal Army is staring at the side, and it may go east at any time, so we have to guard against it. Three, the magic weapon of the Hengshan Army is quite mysterious, and it should not be acted rashly until it is understood. Now, the three conditions proposed by Hengshan are actually quite beneficial to us. As long as we recuperate for a period of time, our army will be able to restore the morale of the army. Fighting again at that time will have a chance of winning. What's more, Shazhou is now in the hands of Hengshan, and it is becoming more and more stable. It cannot be won overnight. On the contrary, eternity is our current enemy. Eliminate eternity first, and then go to Shazhou, it is a safe strategy."

"What the prime minister said is true, what do you all think?" Bai Yunting nodded slowly, and then asked everyone.

"Your Majesty seconded the proposal." How could everyone not understand His Majesty's intentions, no matter how dare they refute, they all immediately agreed.

"Okay, then follow what the prime minister said, and discuss peace with Hengshan." Bai Yunting clenched his fists unwillingly, and said in a hateful voice.
