Chapter 623

Tang Yin could not make the most accurate judgment on the amount of compensation for Ningguo's peace negotiation. He could only refer the matter to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji for discussion. With their shrewdness, the peace agreement drawn up by them must be able to win the maximum interests for itself and make Ningguo reluctantly accept it.

Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Ziying all left. Tang Yin was the only one left in the big tent. He paced back and forth in the tent and began to think about how his side would withdraw. At this time, Yuan Fang came with some simple food and wine. In terms of food and drink, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan yuanbiao were very careful. They first tried the wine and vegetables brought by Yuan Fang with silver needles, and then let the guards taste them. After confirming that there was no problem, they put the food and wine in front of Tang Yin.

Yuan Fang went to Tang Yin and first gave a deep courtesy. Then he said with a smile, "I think the king is still worried about the war tonight, so people have prepared some food and wine to bring here."

Tang Yin laughs bitterly and tosses about in the middle of the night. He doesn't get any results. He still suffers from countless losses. Up to now, he is really a little hungry. He waved to Yuan Fang and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang, sit down and eat together."

"Yes! King Yuan Fang sat down opposite Tang Yin, picked up the jug, poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Tang Yin, and asked, "what's your plan now? Is it war or peace? "

"Mr. Yuan Fang, I'd like to hear your advice first," Tang Yin asked instead

When talking to people on his side of Fengguo, Tang Yin seldom uses the self claim of "Ben Wang" or "Gu". Therefore, when he talks with him, he can make people speak freely without any worries. It also narrows the distance between people and him and makes him look approachable. Feng Jun people have long been accustomed to this, and have not found this detail. However, Yuan Fang noticed it and nodded in secret. Tang Yin, who was born as an ordinary soldier, can draw so many talented Fengguo talents to his side and let people work for him with determination. It is not only luck. In terms of attracting people's hearts, Tang Yin is outstanding.

At the same time, Yuan Fang said calmly: "Wei Chen thinks that peace is the most important thing."

"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed and asked, "why?"

"With Chang sun Yuanhong there, the natural danger of Zhanghe in Ningguo is as strong as gold. Our army will not be able to cross the thunder pool for half a step. If we continue to fight, our army's advantage will be gradually exhausted. By then, Chang sun Yuanhong will take the opportunity to attack Hedong, which will be difficult for our army to resist."

Tang Yin held up his glass and listened to Yuan Fang's analysis carefully, nodding as he listened. Yuan Fang continued: "what's more, in about 20 days, it will be the day of the holy sacrifice ceremony. At this time, the war will be launched again. I'm afraid it will arouse the disgust and panic of the people in China."

The sacred ceremony mentioned by Yuan Fang is a traditional festival of Haotian empire. It is also a grand festival. It is to sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors, and pray for peace and prosperity in the next year. Before and after the ceremony, the vassal states will try their best to avoid war, which will be regarded as an ominous omen, and the next year will be spent in chaos.

Hearing that Yuan Fang mentioned the ceremony, Tang Yin patted himself on the head. He really forgot about it. Of course, he does not believe that sacrificing sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestors can protect the country and the people in the next year, but that does not mean that other people don't believe it. He has to take into account the feelings of the people of Fengguo.

Seeing Tang Yin's expression of sudden enlightenment, Yuan Fang almost burst out laughing. He was probably the only war maniac who could forget such an important day as the holy sacrifice ceremony. He continued: "the king, as the king of a country, must return to the capital to preside over the ceremony. If the king is not in the country, he is afraid that people will be panic and cause unrest among the people."

Tang Yin nodded and said: "yes! What Mr. Yuan Fang said is reasonable! " He drank the wine out of his glass.

Yuan Fang's eyes brightened, and then he returned to normal. He asked, "so, did the king decide to make peace with Ningguo?"

Tang Yin didn't answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes, looked down and thought. Seeing Tang Yin in a daze, Yuan Fang couldn't help but ask, "king?"

"Oh? Ah! Yes, I decided to make peace with Ningguo. " Speaking, he picked up the glass and played back and forth in his hands.

Yuan Fang said with a smile, "so I can rest assured! The king will have a rest early, and the minister will leave! " He stood up, saluted Tang Yin deeply, then turned and walked out.

Seeing Yuan Fang's back disappear outside the tent, Tang Yin turns back and beckons to Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan yuanbiao. The two brothers of Shangguan rush forward to approach Tang Yin and ask, "what can I do for you, your majesty?"

Tang Yin whispered a few words in their ears. The two brothers were in a daze, and then quickly answered and walked out.

After the two brothers left, Tang Yin sat on the collapse and took a deep breath. Without warning, he felt a white mist around his body, which was then sucked back into his body.

In the next few days, Tang Yin retired the whole army and recruited new soldiers. On the other hand, he interacted with Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi. As he had not received any reply from Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, Tang Yin was not sure about the details of the peace agreement, so he could only wait for Yancheng's reply.

This is three days. In three days, he can't get a reply from Yancheng. Tang Yin is also very anxious. He asks whether Xiao MuQing's letter to Yancheng was sent by pigeon or sent by someone. Xiao MuQing, with his innocent face on his face, replied: "the matter is urgent. Of course, it is a flying pigeon to deliver a letter."Tang Yin frowned and said, "since it's a letter sent by a flying pigeon, the letter should have arrived in Yancheng long ago. How can Qiu Zhen and Yuanji reply so slowly"

Xiao MuQing said with a bitter smile: "king, the matter of peace negotiation has a far-reaching relationship, and also affects China's national policy in the future. I think Qiu Xiang and Shangguan prime minister also need time to discuss it!"

"Yes Tang Yin nodded and did not ask.

On the fourth day, Lotte arrived at Tang Yin's bed in the early morning, and at the same time, he also brought a reply from Yancheng that he was looking forward to for a few days.

This reply was written by Qiu Zhen himself. There was only a short line on it. At this time, Tang Yincai just woke up and took a look at the note. He doubted that he had read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully. Yes, it clearly said: King, you can't agree to negotiate peace. I'll talk about the details after the minister arrives.

He had already begun to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. At this time, Qiu Zhen came from Yancheng, which was quite beyond Tang Yin's expectation. But what surprised him most was the first half of Qiu Zhen's sentence that he could not agree to the negotiation of peace. He could not understand that now his side could not fight any more. What could he do without negotiation of peace? Even if we want to fight, we don't have the tools to cross the river. Should we rush out another batch of rafts?

Tang Yin couldn't understand Qiu Zhen's intention. He laughed bitterly with this reply. Seeing this, happy day could not help but wonder and asked, "king, what did Qiu Xiang write in his reply?"

"See for yourself!" Tang Yin holds a note and hands it to lotian. The latter takes it in a hurry and looks at it carefully. After reading, Lotte is also dumbfounded. He feels that Qiu is really standing and talking without pain. However, if there is still a glimmer of hope, who is willing to abandon the war? Now there is really nothing to do but accept the negotiation.

Happy day frowned and asked, "king, why is Qiu Xiang so resolute in opposing peace talks? The advantages of peace negotiation outweigh the disadvantages for our army! "

Tang Yin grinned bitterly. He fell back and lay back on the bed. He said, "I don't know." after a pause, he said, "however, Qiu Zhen's mind is a hundred times higher than mine. There must be some reason for him to say so." After saying this, Tang Yin seemed to think of something again. He asked suspiciously, "can carrier pigeons make mistakes on the way?"

Happy day smile, it seems that the king's mouth said full of confidence, in fact, there is no bottom. He replied: "king, the pigeons in our country are all marked with special marks, and they will not make mistakes. In addition, the handwriting on them is indeed the handwriting of Qiu Xiang."

"Yes! It's me who's worried. " Tang Yin rubbed his aching forehead and sighed helplessly.

Tang Yin had planned to have a detailed discussion with Shi Tinghan and Qin on the details of the peace treaty. On the other hand, he had ordered the whole army to be ready to withdraw at any time. As a result, Qiu Zhen's reply with a few figures disrupted Tang Yin's plans. The matter of withdrawing troops was postponed and the negotiation of peace was delayed.

From this point, it is not difficult to see the weight of Qiu Zhen in Tang Yin's mind, and even his words can influence Tang Yin's intention, which is far beyond the comparison of other people.

Qiu Zhen had to go from Yancheng to Zhanghe, which was a long way to go. Even if he rode a fast horse day and night, he couldn't get there in ten days and a half months. However, the ceremony is getting closer and closer. If Tang Yin stayed in Hedong at this time, it would be very difficult for Tang Yin to return to Yancheng on that day.

Because of Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin did not dare to withdraw. If the army did not withdraw, where could he leave the camp and return to the capital alone? At this time, Liang Qi gave him an idea to move the ceremony to Hedong. The first is to celebrate the return of Hedong, the second is to pacify the people of Hedong, and the third is to pay homage to the dead in the battle of Fengguo in Hedong. In particular, the third point can not only seal the truth of the people in China, but also make people feel that the king is a good monarch who is considerate of the officers and soldiers, loves the soldiers and the people.

After listening to Liang Qi's suggestion, Tang Yin was overjoyed and immediately made a decision to hold the Fengguo's memorial ceremony in Qingyuan, Hedong county.

In the following time, a part of the wind force withdrew from Zhanghe camp, entered Qingyuan, and began to build altars to prepare for the ceremony. The rest of the Feng troops began to build fortifications on the East Bank of the Zhanghe River, and set out to fight the Ning army for a long time. The situation in Hedong and Hexi, which has just been eased, has turned into a sharp downward trend and began to become tense.

Shi Tinghan and Qin, who stayed in the Fengying camp, could also feel the change. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and asked to see Tang Yin again and again. However, Tang Yin was resolute and avoided seeing him. He made up his mind to wait until Qiu Zhen arrived.
