The sky was filled with drizzling rain, but there was nothing to be seen from afar.
This was just the scene in the capital city. The noblemen toured the streets, chanting the ancient saying, "The season of rain is known to know when spring is coming." At the same time, they spoke of the proverb, "Spring rains are precious as oil." They never understood the suffering of the people of the Southwest.
Since the beginning of spring, it had rained continuously in the southwest. The cold weather revealed a heavy dew, making the road difficult to travel. Every time Wu Shan looked outside of the tent, he felt as if a heavy burden was weighing down on his heart.
Now that it was already spring, the affairs of the court were getting busier.
Yuwen Di read the imperial reports for the entire morning. His shoulders were sore, he furrowed his brows slightly, and his expression was one of exhaustion.
Seeing that, the Eunuch Ming hurried over and patted Yuwen Di's shoulders, smiling as he said: "Your majesty, we've been tired for the whole morning, let's quickly stop and rest for a while."
Yuwen Di closed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something. He sighed and said to the Eunuch Ming, "It's been a long time since there's been any news from the southwest.
Eunuch Ming comforted Yuwen Di as he helped him to soothe his muscles and bones, saying, "Your majesty, you are already tired enough, there is no need to worry about it anymore. Although General Wu Shan is young, he is very skilled in cultivation, and has always been the news of victory.
"Hearing Eunuch Ming's words, Yuwen Di let out a soft sigh. I hope so! "
When the envoy came to report, Wu Shan could not help but mutter to himself for a while, and then he nodded to the envoy under the tent. He had originally thought that something had happened, but it turned out to be because of this. The two of you are envoys, and I am the envoy. Therefore, the two of you should feel the same way. "
Hearing Wu Shan's words, the envoy immediately kneeled down and spoke sincerely to Wu Shan, "General Wu, victory or defeat in the battle between the two armies is a common occurrence. It's just that General Wu knows that between this victory and defeat, the suffering will forever be the common people of both countries."
The envoy's words were filled with emotion as he trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing that, Wu Shan immediately ordered people to kneel down, the envoy helped himself up, nodded and said: "What you said is very true, this general knows. It's just that your country has repeatedly sent troops to invade the people of Jin Country, causing the soldiers of Jin Country to be unable to endure any longer. That's why we sent troops to retaliate.
Hearing Wu Shan's words, the envoy quickly stepped forward and explained to Wu Shan: "General, you might not know, but the situation here is complicated and it was all a misunderstanding. I am the Son of Heaven is very clear, if Jin Country agrees to withdraw, he is willing to personally write a letter and send it to the Jin Country to apologize to the Son of Heaven of Jin Country. I hope the son of the Jin Country will agree to withdraw her troops on behalf of the people of both sides. "
did not intend to fight in the first place, it was just that the Southwestern small countries had bullied them too much, causing Yuwen Di to be forced into a corner. That was why he hastily ordered Wu Shan to lead the troops of the southwest general. Although he had won more than he could chew, it was still a labor of effort that cost him more than he could afford. It was not the best strategy. Now that the smaller Southwest countries had agreed to retreat, it was certainly the best way.
"For the sake of the people of the world, this I am the Son of Heaven is naturally willing to accept the conditions of your country. However, I will be leading my soldiers and fighting here for four months, if we were to return just like this, even if this general and this I am the Son of Heaven were to go, I believe that these soldiers would definitely not agree."
Wu Shan spoke in an obscure tone, but the envoy had naturally understood his words. He hurriedly took out the imperial report and handed it over to Wu Shan, and said: "General Wu, this is what I am the Son of Heaven had us hand over to the general when we came here to negotiate. We also have the sincerity of our country written on it, so I hope that General Wu can have a look."
Year after year came and went in tribute.
As Wu Shan looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If not for the fact that the emperor of the southwest had no other way, he probably wouldn't have written out such a clause in his heart.
As Wu Shan watched, he lightly nodded at the two envoys. He had already read the imperial reports, but this matter was too important for him to decide. But please rest assured, the two of you, please do not worry. You will write a letter and have people of eight hundred kilometers send it back to the capital urgently and hand it over to the I am the Son of Heaven. "Everything is up to the Son of Heaven."
Hearing Wu Shan's reply, the ambassador standing under the tent nodded slightly, but revealed a worried expression.
Seeing that, Wu Shan chuckled, and spoke to them: "There is no need for you two to worry, just stay in the camp without worries. If there is news, I will definitely inform the two ambassadors."
"I guess that's the only way now." His face was filled with worry as he said to Wu Shan: "General has been fighting bitterly here for four months and knows the situation in the army camp the most. I hope General Wu can explain this to the Son of the Jin Country on behalf of the citizens and warriors, and hope that the two nations will get along well, and not fight anymore."
"Of course, the two of you don't have to worry." As Wu Shan spoke, he quickly ordered people to prepare pen and ink.
Even though Wu Shan had a relaxed expression, the two envoys still had to beg of him. It was only when Wu Shan opened up the paper and ink did they greet him and bow before retreating out of the room.
Wu Shan wrote a letter while leaning on the table. Vice General Zhang stood by the side and grinded the meat on Wu Shan's table. He hesitated for a few times, but in the end, he could not resist and asked Wu Shan: "General, do we really need to agree to their request?"
"Why not?" Wu Shan raised his head and looked at Vice General Zhang, and revealed a faint smile.
"Now the Southwest has the plague, and morale is low. If we were to take advantage of this opportunity to catch up with them, we might have been able to completely defeat them. Vice General Zhang frowned and asked Wu Shan.
There were no people in the tent either. Wu Shan let out a soft sigh, then explained this matter to the Vice General Zhang. Now that there is a plague in the southwest, if our soldiers persist, what if they get infected by it? In addition, we've been fighting hard here for four months, and we've already used up too many resources. Now that the enemy is willing to surrender, this is the best outcome, and I think the Emperor will agree. "
Hearing Wu Shan's words, Vice General Zhang did not continue speaking. He hesitated for a while before finally giving Wu Shan a light nod of his head.
