Iron Dynasty

Jinling City.

Two days after Xiao Qi's message arrived in Jinling City, news of the fall of Yongzhou City came.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Wang collapsed in his seat.

"Father, things are clear now. If you don't sign the truce, Xiao Ming will continue to conquer the city, and King Yan and Zhao will only watch from the sidelines. After all, this time it is the father who does not agree to the truce conditions that will cause Huaizhou to fall. "

Xiao Han looked anxious. In this situation, his father is still smelly and hard like the stone in the pit. If this continues, the Wei Di city will all belong to Xiao Ming, so what land will his son have in the future? Able to inherit.

So after the fall of Huaizhou, he immediately joined his loyal officials to the palace to persuade him.

Wei Wang on the throne had his eyes dull. The defenders had participated in the last battle of Pengzhou and escaped. This time the defenders in Huaizhou were either killed or captured, and only a few people were able to escape.

The battle of Pengzhou was a fluke, and perhaps Tongzhou was also a fluke, but now Huaizhou has also been conquered, and he finally realized the gap between Wei Jun and Qi Jun.

Without artillery and guns, he couldn't defeat Xiao Ming at all.

"His Royal Highness, the most important thing now is the truce. Only by giving us time can we reorganize the army, otherwise Wei Di will die."

Xiao Han looked distressed: "Father, the result of Xiao Qi's hard work this time is this truce. If we don't seize the opportunity, the other vassals will definitely not pay attention to us again!"

Wang Wei's face was extremely ugly. He was originally ambitious. He was going to ascend the highest throne of Chang'an, but now he can only live humblely in the shadow of Xiao Ming.

"The messenger told Xiao Qi that this king had agreed to the conditions of the truce." Wei Wang finally said one word at a time.

Xiao Han and the officials suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Weidi has 13 states. What if we lose three? As long as they can keep their glory and wealth, they can talk about anything.

Soon, one person and one horse took Wei Wang's message to Qingzhou.

Five days later, the five envoys did it again.

Compared with ten days ago, Zhan Xingchang was more energetic at this time, and Huaizhou was conquered, and officials at the top and bottom of the country were in a frenzy.

Opening up the territory and expanding the territory is where the duties of the ministers lie. Now that they see more and more land to be entrusted, they are of course happy.

"Xiao Qi, I told you to sign that day. Didn't you ask for it? Now this is lost to Huaizhou." Cui Zhang sneered.

When Xiao Wenxuan was in power, Wei Wang had the largest area of ​​the country, as well as the largest city and population.

It was for this reason that other kings of different surnames were a little jealous of him, but now even the loss of three cities is not to the point where Wei Di's nerves are broken.

Wang Xi's expression was a bit complicated. King Qi's army had another city in such a short period of time, which shocked him. Thinking that King Zhao and King Shu have been fighting for Yueyu, and still not achieving any results, he became more and more jealous of Xiao Ming. .

It's just that this time he came to Qingzhou just to take advantage of the harmony and the mud. Now King Zhao is unable to attack Xiao Ming with others, so even though he knows that Xiao Ming is going to another city, he has nothing to do. If he talks too much, he is afraid to force him. Anxiously, Xiao Ming provided a large number of firearms to King Shu.

When the five people were chatting without a word, Xiao Ming walked in at this moment.

Lu Fei had already passed the battle report to Qingzhou. This time Lu Fei easily won Huaizhou so that Xiao Ming had another layer of knowledge about the combat effectiveness of the current feudal army.

In the past, he seemed to have overestimated the army of these vassals. Now that Lu Fei used facts to prove the strength of the vassal army, he suddenly realized it.

Just as Pang Yukun said, today's Dayu Kingdom is a country of erosion. This erosion is not only about the royal family, but the land annexation has also reached its peak in the feudal lords.

The clan of clansmen and clans was originally a big tail, but now they are still searching for the wealth of the world. Among them, the battle report sent by Ye Qingyun further illustrates this problem.

The indifference of the people when they attacked Tongzhou City was surprising.

So after analyzing this issue, Xiao Ming realized that maybe he could be bolder. After all, although there are many vassal princes, he is the only one who fundamentally changes.

"Your Highness."

When Xiao Ming arrived, everyone stood up to greet each other.

At this time, Xiao Qi took the initiative to say: "His Royal Highness, Wang Wei is willing to agree to the truce contract, hoping to sign it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness, we have lived in Qingzhou for some time now, and it's time to go back if we count the days. I hope that your Highness will make a decision soon."

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

Other people looked around and found that this was a chapter of Wei Di's map. The map marked the current Wei Di city and the city that had already been captured.

When Xiao Qi saw this map, her complexion changed greatly, because in addition to the city that had been captured, a circle was drawn in Yangzhou.

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean?" Xiao Qi was shocked and angry, he had already guessed something.

"It's very simple. Except for the three cities of Pengzhou, Tongzhou, and Huaizhou, which belong to the king, Yangzhou will be ceded to pay 5 million silver. If this condition is met, the king will seal the truce." Xiao Minglang said.

Xiao Qi's face suddenly flushed, "His Royal Highness, you are deceiving too much."

"It's King Wei who deceived people too much. Originally, this truce had already given him face, but he refused to accept it. Then this king can't be blamed." Xiao Ming's tone was a bit tough.

Zheng Hao looked at Xiao Qi and at Xiao Ming at this time, "His Royal Highness, this is a bit too far. Since His Royal Highness has taken Huaizhou, this Huaizhou will be given to His Highness, but how can Yangzhou cede? ?"

"There are so many grievances between Wang Wang and Wang Wei~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is not clear in a few words. Now this is the condition of the truce, otherwise the king can only take it personally."

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

Negotiations are originally quarrels, relying on the mouth on the table and strength under the table.

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

"Don't pull up Yandi. Wei Wang subordinates to the thirteen states. It is reasonable to pay compensation to the four states. Besides, the five million taels are also trivial." Cui Zhang waved his hand again and again.

Wang Xi also smiled under Xiao Ming's eyes, "His Royal Highness, I didn't say anything."

The expressions of Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao were a little embarrassed at once, this time the reunion was a complete failure.

"So Wang Wei and Liang Wang are ready to fight with this king?" Xiao Ming said with a smile, "Then this king can only accept the move!"
