There are many treasures in this country

Chapter 145 Peace negotiation

A few days later, the imperial decree was issued, and the emperor really advocated a peace negotiation.

Shen Yan summoned Xiao Suo who was coaxing the child, and showed him the urgently sent document from Liubaili.In addition to the next step of the battle plan, there is also the result of Zhang Yunjian's leak of military information that put tens of thousands of soldiers in danger.

"He's in prison?" Xiao Suo never expected that things would be so easy, a scar that had been growing on his heart for a long time was cut out like this, and he felt uncomfortable.

"His family is not defeated, but since the emperor secretly ordered Yushitai to investigate the matter, it will be a matter of time." Shen Yan said, "I heard that Liu Siwen has invited him to the yamen for questioning, but now there is no conclusive evidence. Evidence. But you don’t have to worry, Zhao Hui, we still keep it. His connection with the rebels is undeniable. When we go back and bring Zhao Hui to the Yushitai to record his statement, the case will be finalized. Treason to the enemy, There is no doubt about death."

"Do you really want to kill them all?" Xiao Suo hesitated.

"If you dare to soften your heart, don't tell others that you know me!" Shen Yan wished he could fly back immediately and stab Zhang Yunjian twice, how could he hear such halfway words.

"No, I'm not soft-hearted." Xiao Suo said solemnly, "I also hate him very much. I haven't forgotten the hardships I suffered in the Ministry of Punishment. It's just...he's too good at doing things, and he doesn't leave room for others, so he left. To this point today. If you want to kill him, I have no objection, I just don’t want you to be like him. Keeping a front line in everything is also leaving a way for yourself. If you always kill others, you will have no way out sooner or later.”

Shen Yan pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "To get rid of the evil, I must kill him."

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore." Xiao Suo leaned on his shoulder, "I just feel that if we are more ruthless today, the heaven will be more ruthless to us tomorrow."

"You're just thinking about it, but it's actually because you're timid." Shen Yan got up and took his hand, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk, I just finished dinner and I feel uncomfortable sitting."

Xiao Suo nodded and said: "Then just wait a moment, I'll go hug Sheng."

"Why are you hugging that kid?" Shen Yan was very dissatisfied with his current appearance of not forgetting life all the time, "We two went out for a walk, the sun was setting, we were very affectionate, wouldn't it be a tree if you took him with you?" The big tree of Tao?"

"Take it with you." Xiao Suo ignored him, went to the inner hall to put on the fur, wrapped his body in a bundle, and said: "He is so young, he can't even speak, how could he be in your way? I don't Don't worry he is here, take him out, you don't need to hug him."

Shen Yan put his arms around his shoulders instead, and while walking, he muttered: "Is it not as good as my life in your heart now? He will grow up in two years, and I guess you two will turn your eyes to the sky. "

"No." Xiao Suo looked around, saw no one was watching, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, "I will always look up to you. You will always be the first in my heart."

"You don't have to look up at me." Shen Yan said with a smile, "It's fine if we look at each other at the same level."

"What about him?" Xiao Suo shook the little boy in his arms, "He looks up to the two of us?"

Shen Yan poked his fleshy cheeks, and said with a smile: "You have raised a little emperor at home, your father alone is really a loving father and a failure. I don't know what I will spoil you in the future."

Di Sheng seemed to understand what he said, his brows and eyes were curved, and he gave a chuckle.

Xiao Suo pursed the corners of his lips: "Look, he really likes you, whenever he sees you, he smiles. He always ignores me and never smiles."

"Of course, the child is the smartest, and he also knows who is more handsome." Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and scratched his chin, "You think so? Xiaosheng, who is more handsome between the two fathers?"

"You are really more childish than him." Xiao Suo said with emotion.

Di Sheng laughed again, and suddenly spit out saliva all over Shen Yan's face.The person who was bragging just now turned cold.Xiao Suo couldn't help laughing and bent over, out of breath, said: "You're right, children are the smartest, and he also knows who has the thickest skin."

"See how I deal with him in the future!" Shen Yan has a clean nature, except for Xiao Suo, he refuses to use the cups used by others, let alone being spit in the face now.He stretched out his sleeves to wipe the drool on his cheeks, and said bitterly: "I'll tell him an ugly wife in the future, let's see what he will do!"

"Then what if he likes men like us?" Xiao Suo has long had this concern, but he has never dared to tell him, "I...will the two of us...will..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yan flicked his forehead, "You didn't raise this thing. When a child grows up, he chooses what he likes. This is what he was born with. Didn't your parents teach you when you were young?" How are you? My dad is so old and stubborn, he didn't hesitate to cut ties with me because of this, how could someone like him teach me?"

Xiao Suo lowered his head and said: "You are always right, I am thinking wildly again."

Shen Yan led him to the bottom of the city wall, pointed to the stone steps in front and said, "Don't think about it, let's go around the city wall."

"Tomorrow we will talk about peace negotiations. The emperor means to double their annual tribute ratio as a punishment. If they agree to our conditions and release General Fan, we will give up the attack." Xiao Suo was out of breath as he climbed the stone steps, "I have never negotiated peace with the Fan clan, just in case... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

"What's the matter." Shen Yan hugged Tisheng, helped him up the last few steps, and said, "There is always a first time for everything in this world. Although you have never negotiated peace with the Fan clan, you have I have dealt with Japanese envoys before, so I have more experience than others. Don’t be afraid, it’s okay if you don’t do well, at worst, let’s tell the emperor that Tu Shan people don’t agree, or it’s over.”

Xiao Suo said sadly: "No, there are a few officials on this trip, and I am not the only one. They will all tell the emperor that this is not something that you and I can decide. Will you accompany me tomorrow? With you here, I feel more at ease."

"What nonsense?" Shen Yan rubbed him and made up his mind, "Of course I will accompany you, how could I not accompany you!"

"Then I feel much more at ease." Xiao Suo leaned into his arms and said, "Look, 'the desert is solitary, the long river sets the sun', the sun is so big, so close, so beautiful."

The twilight merged, the setting sun sank, and the orange-red afterglow spread on the city wall, hiding Xiao Suo's fair complexion.The desert is vast, boundless as far as the eye can see, and the situation is as picturesque as a scroll.

Shen Yan gathered his clothes, and covered his clothes more tightly, and held him with one free hand, and said: "Go back, there is a strong wind on the wall, you should catch a cold in a while."

Xiao Suo obediently followed him down the wall, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, put Si Sheng to sleep first, and then went to wash and sleep.

"Actually, I still have a wish that has been lost forever." Shen Yan blew out the candle, hooked the person in his arms and said, "Do you still remember?"

"What wish?" Xiao Suo straightened up, looking into his shining eyes in the darkness.

Shen Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, leaned into his ear and muttered something, only to see Xiao Dubao immediately got into the quilt, covered his head and said sullenly: "I don't want to do that, you think about it every day!"

"That's not what he said." He fished out the man, and forcefully pulled down his hands that blocked his ears, "I've been thinking about fucking you all day, which means I like you, and I have fantasies when I can't see it. Are you unhappy? Is it?"

"It's just nonsense." Xiao Suo avoided looking at him, "I don't want to do that, I won't do it."

Shen Yan didn't expect him to agree to it at first, but he wanted to test it out. Seeing this, he said: "Then when will you be able to do this? I'll wait. There must be a deadline, right?"

"Not at any time." Xiao Suo struggled to make a move, and covered his ears again, "You said you wouldn't force me, I don't want to do that, I can't...don't worry about that, okay?"

"No." Shen Yan pressed him, pinched here and touched there restlessly, "I only have one old wish that has not been fulfilled for a long time, can't you satisfy me? I don't force you to agree now , I can’t disagree forever. Give me some time, how long you can accept it, I’ll wait.”

"No, not for a long time." Xiao Suo said with a flat mouth, "That would be degrading, I really don't want to. Please, just give up, okay?"

Shen Yan sighed, turned around and lay down: "Why is my life so bitter, people have eaten it up so many times, and I still can't get a wish to be fulfilled."

The regretful tone he deliberately made really aroused Xiao Suo's guilt: "Then I... wait a minute, okay?"

"Okay," Shen Yan's voice sounded aggrieved, "how long will you wait?"

"Wait...five?" He had just uttered half a word, but Shen Yan suddenly turned his back, and could only reluctantly say: "Then wait for two or two years, okay?"

"Two years is so long." Shen Yan prolonged the tone on purpose, but in fact he was already happy in his heart, and pretended to be in a compromising tone: "That's all right, I'll let it go."

Xiao Suo hugged his waist from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, Nuo Nuo said: "I'm sorry, I am so pedantic. I will also change this, you have to wait for me, be patient."

"Fool." He reached out and took him.

When I got up the next day, Eleven was already waiting outside.The place for peace negotiations agreed with the Tushan people is thirty miles outside the city, and tents have already been set up there.The army accompanied by guards, the scene is very grand.

Xiao Suo and Shen Yan went in with the accompanying civilian guards in the morning, talked with the envoys from the enemy country for more than three hours, and did not come out until the afternoon.

The two sides fought each other and refused to give in to each other.Tu Shanren believed himself to be proficient in bow and horse, even though he lost two battles in a row, he still refused to admit defeat.Huan Ye's request was too harsh, and once he agreed, it would be difficult for everyone in the Tu Shan Kingdom to earn a living.

Shen Yan walked to a distance and whispered in his ear: "That's what the emperor meant. This time they provoked trouble and wanted to reduce the annual tribute, which made all the small countries around them ready to move. If you don't hit them hard, it won't have a deterrent effect. The emperor wants such a heavy annual tribute, just to let those who hold a wait-and-see attitude take a look. This is the end of refusing to hand over. Moreover, Tu Shan is several times larger than Nan'an, so it is okay for us to avoid Nan'an's annual tribute. Tu Shan The country's annual tribute is rich, and it is absolutely unavoidable."

Xiao Suo stood beside his galloping horse, watching the Tushan man gallop away from afar, and said with great concern: "This time, we can't talk properly, and we are going to fight again. General Fan's safety, the emperor's will, and what else?" The lives of the soldiers of the three armies are all..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Shen Yan interrupted him in time, "How can a defeated general speak bravely? Look at them, how can they be convinced? They clearly think that they can fight again, not because they sincerely want to negotiate peace with us. ! The emperor's request is indeed too harsh, and it would be difficult for us to accept it."

"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Suo was carried on the horse by him, and turned to ask him: "Do you want to go back quickly and make a battle plan?"

"It's already been planned." Shen Yan said, "Marching all night tonight, I'm going to capture Baichuan City, which is heading north from here, tomorrow morning. They don't have strict defense there, and we will surely win if we catch them by surprise."

"Then how many days will it take to completely conquer the desert in the north?" Xiao Suo knew that as soon as this territory was conquered, the strength of the Tushan Kingdom would be greatly reduced. At that time, their king's head would be killed, and he was afraid of being implicated again. The common people will also pick it off and dedicate it to our army.

"About... a month and a half."

At that time, Huan Ye was lying on the couch, and the carpet that had just vomited blood had been replaced.

Shang Huai's hand feeding the medicine trembled slightly, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Even you know that I can't do it, so why are you so scared?"

"The emperor forgives the crime." Shang Huai hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

"Get up... get up." Huan Ye waved his hand with difficulty, "you are the only one by my side. Shen Yan has been away for several months, and I don't know when he will come back. I'm afraid I... I won't be able to catch up."

"Your Majesty, don't say that." Shang Huai's eyes turned red, "General Shen has you in his heart, and he must understand your heart."

A sneering smile appeared on Huan Ye's lips, and he sighed: "What he has in his heart is not mine... never has been. How can he understand my heart? Do you know...why did I let Xiao Suo go in the first place?" ?”

"The slave is dull." Playing stupid at the right time is the way to accompany the king, and Shang Huai understands it better than anyone else.

As expected, Huan Ye was not angry, but instead aroused the intention to confide: "He... and Yan Jun, they thought they were very smart. I don't know what! They asked Uncle Qi to restrain me, making me think that there is no need for Xiao Suo, Qi Uncle Huang knows how to use Xiao Suo. How ridiculous!"

He sneered, and continued: "Even if I can't exile him, can't I still kill him? Even if Uncle Qi has great abilities, can he save people from the law... the law field?"

"The emperor is benevolent, so naturally he doesn't want to commit murder." Shang Huai hurriedly agreed.

"I know that if I kill him, then there will be no possibility between me and Wenyu. So between winning over Xiao Suo and getting rid of Xiao Suo, I chose the former. But until now, I have lost... all Lost." As he said that, Huan Ye suddenly coughed violently.

He avoided Shang Huai's hand to help him, stretched his neck and said, "Hurry up, get your pen, I want...to write, to write a will."

"Your Majesty, you have established a crown prince, so there is no need to... write a will." It always takes courage to pronounce these two words.

Huan Ye smiled: "I want to let him be buried with me."
