Chapter 575

Jinling City.

Just two days after Xiao Qi's message arrived in Jinling City, the news came that Yongzhou City was lost.

Knowing the news, the king of Wei was paralyzed in his seat.

"Father, it's very clear now that if we don't sign a truce, Xiao Ming will continue to attack the city and seize the land, while the king of Yan and the king of Zhao will only sit on the sidelines. After all, this time it's the father who doesn't agree to the terms of the truce that will lead to the fall of huaizhou."

Xiao Han looks anxious. In this case, his father is still as smelly and hard as a stone in the pit. In this case, the city of Wei will be Xiao Ming's, so what land can his son inherit in the future.

So after the fall of huaizhou, he immediately went to the palace to persuade with his loyal ministers.

The king of Wei on the throne has dull eyes. The defenders of the last battle of Pengzhou escaped. This time, the defenders of huaizhou were either killed or captured, and only a few of them could escape.

The battle of Pengzhou was a fluke, and TongZhou may also be a fluke, but now huaizhou has been conquered, and he finally realized the gap between the Wei army and the Qi army.

Without artillery and muskets, he could not defeat Xiao Ming at all.

"Your Highness, the most important thing now is a truce. Only by giving us time can we regroup our army, or Wei will die."

Xiao Han looked distressed: "father, the result of Xiao Qi's hard work this time is the truce. If we don't seize the opportunity, other vassal kings will not pay attention to us in Wei."

The face of the king of Wei was very ugly. He was ambitious. He was going to be the supreme king of Chang'an, but now he can only live humbly in the shadow of Xiao Ming.

"The messenger told Xiao Qi that the king had agreed to the terms of the armistice." The king of Wei finally said word by word.

Xiao Han and his officials were relieved. Wei had 13 states, but what if he lost three? They can talk about anything as long as they can keep their wealth.

Soon, one person and one horse went to Qingzhou with a message from the king of Wei.

Five days later, the envoys of the five sides came together again.

Compared with ten days ago, Zhan Xingchang was more energetic at this time. The capture of huaizhou made the officials of the feudal state in a frenzy.

It's their duty as ministers to open up their territory and expand their territory. Now they are happy to see that more and more land has been granted to them day by day.

"Xiao Qi, I asked you to sign it that day. Didn't you ask for it? Now it's lost to huaizhou. " Cui Zhang is sarcastic.

When Xiao Wenxuan was in power, the area of Wei king was the largest, and the city and population were also the largest.

It was for this reason that other vassal kings of different surnames were afraid of him, but now even if he lost three cities, it didn't hurt Wei's muscles and bones.

Wang Xi's complexion is a little complicated. The army of the king of Qi went to the next city in such a short time, which shocked him. Thinking that the king of Zhao and the king of Shu had been fighting for more than a month, and still had no achievements, he became more and more afraid of Xiao Ming.

But this time he came to Qingzhou just to take advantage of the harmony. Now the king of Zhao is powerless to attack Xiao Ming with other people. Although he knows that Xiao Ming is going to the next city, he has nothing to do. If he says too much, he is afraid that he will force Xiao Ming to provide a large number of firearms to the king of Shu.

Just as the five people were chatting, Xiao Ming came in.

Lu Fei has already spread the war report to Qingzhou. This time Lu Fei easily won huaizhou, which gives Xiao Ming a new level of understanding of the combat effectiveness of the current feudal army.

In the past, he thought that he overestimated the military strength of these vassal kings. Now Lu Fei proved the military strength of these vassal kings with facts, and he suddenly realized.

As Pang Yukun said, today's state of Dayu is the erosion of the world. This erosion is not only about the royal family, but also the land annexation of the vassal states has reached the peak.

The aristocratic clans had never been able to get rid of them, but now they have also plundered the wealth of the world. The war report from ye Qingyun shows this problem even more.

When they attacked Tongzhou City, the indifference of the people was amazing.

So after analyzing this problem, Xiao Ming realized that maybe he could be bold. After all, although there are many vassals, he is the only one who fundamentally changes.

"Your Highness."

When Xiao Ming arrived, everyone stood up to greet him.

At this time, Xiao Qi took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, the king of Wei is willing to promise the truce contract, hoping to sign it as soon as possible."

"Yes, your highness, we have lived in Qingzhou for some time. It's time to go back. I hope your highness can make a choice as soon as possible."

Xiao Ming did not speak, but suddenly spread a map on the table.

Others look at it one after another and find that this is a chapter of the map of Weidi, on which the city of Weidi and the occupied city are marked.

When Xiao Qi saw the map, her face changed greatly, because in addition to the mark of the occupied city, she drew a circle in Yangzhou.

"What do you mean, your highness?" Xiao Qi was surprised and angry. He had already guessed a few points."It's very simple. In addition to Pengzhou, Tongzhou and huaizhou, the three cities belong to our king. In addition, we ceded Yangzhou and made an indemnity of five million silver. If this condition is met, our king will seal the truce." Xiao Minglang said.

Xiao Qi's face suddenly rose red, "Your Highness, you deceive people too much."

"It's the king of Wei who deceives people too much. Originally, this truce has given him face, but he refuses to accept it. Then we can't blame him." Xiao Ming's tone is a little tough.

Zheng Hao looked at Xiao Qi and Xiao Ming at the same time, "Your Highness, the king of Qi, this is a bit too much. Since your Highness has taken huaizhou, huaizhou has given it to his highness, but how can Yangzhou cede it?"

"There are a lot of enmities between the king and the king of Wei, which can't be made clear in a few words. Now this is the condition for a truce, otherwise the king will have to take it in person."

Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao looked at each other, then Zheng Hao said: "since your highness is so aggressive, we can't say that Wei, Zhao, Yan and Liang have to fight with his highness."

Negotiation is a quarrel. On the table, it depends on words and on strength.

At the same time, mutual intimidation is also a way of negotiation. Now Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao obviously want to use it.

"You don't want to take Yandi, the thirteen states under the command of the king of Wei. It's reasonable to give the four states the right to compensate. Besides, Wei's land is rich, and the five million Liang is a small thing." Cui Zhang waved his hand.

Wang Xi smiles under Xiao Ming's eyes. "Your Highness, I didn't say anything."

Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao's face suddenly some embarrassment, this time's Union is a complete failure.

"So the king of Wei and the king of Liang are ready to fight with him?" Xiao Ming said with a smile, "then I can only take it!"
