Chapter 453: Proposal for Armistice

"Our army's demise is a foregone conclusion!" Zhou Yuan's eyes were burning with fire, and his face looked grim, "I am responsible for this big defeat, and I can only repay it with death. All the generals have been with me for many years. Are you determined to die with me?"

Headed by Kumamoto, everyone stood up suddenly, "I am willing to fight to the death with the Taiwei to repay the country's grace."

"Okay, very good!" Zhou Yuan showed a rare smile on his face, "Death is either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, and the situation is overturned. All we can do is before we die, we will fight for you again." Dayan is doing the last thing." "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

His eyes slowly passed in front of the generals, "The main force of the Yan Kingdom is here. Although Zhou Yu led 30,000 people to break through, he doesn't know anything about the current situation. Even if they return to the Yan Kingdom, they must be Great damage to the vitality, now Yan is the weakest time, after the Donghu people defeat us, they will inevitably march westward and invade the border of Dayan, and at this time, our country has no spare power to resist, so, in the final battle, we When it is necessary to move forward, remember, if you kill one more Donghu person, their power to move west will be weaker. I am waiting for the last piece of credit for Dayan."

"Desperately kill the enemy!" The generals responded loudly.

"Very good, everyone obeys orders!" Zhou Yuan pulled out his saber, and slashed at the big case in front of him, cutting the big case into two.

Among the tens of thousands of Yan troops trapped in Xiong'er Mountain, there was an atmosphere of heroic death. Everyone was silently wiping their knives, guns, bows and arrows. Tonight's moon is very round and bright, and a faint opalescent light sprinkles on every soldier's body, covering them with a layer of silver-white armor.

This is their last night, and the last time they will shower under the moonlight. Tomorrow, they will go to the battlefield and die generously.

Some people are sleepless tonight. Some people wept, some roared, some scolded their mothers, and some lay down and slept.

Zhou Yuan walked slowly in the camp. At this time, he was staggering like a real old man, looking at his soldiers while walking.

He really felt ashamed in his heart, if he could be more careful. If it wasn't for his wholehearted desire to establish such a heaven-shattering achievement, there would be no catastrophe right now.

This reminded him of the conversation he had with the boy who suddenly appeared on the way back from Yuyang to Jicheng. At that time, Gao Yuan's strategy for attacking Donghu was not to attack it with all the power of the country, but to use the method of cannibalism. Slowly map it, lay down a land, and build a city. Immigrants, take years, build a solid base, and then move forward. But apparently, his opinion had no appeal to Zhou Yuan, who was already in his grave. At that time, he even laughed at Gao Yuan, a general who was so young, but his heart was older than him.

Think about it now.

How pertinent was Gao Yuan's suggestion at the time. Not to mention anything else, the Niulanshan camp alone has pushed the Yan Kingdom's control area forward by a full hundred miles.

pity. There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Listen, seeing the various reactions of the soldiers, Zhou Yuan's heart became heavier and heavier. Tomorrow, these brave warriors will become a corpse on the battlefield, a handful of loess, a cluster of Weeds, even dead bodies are not allowed to return home.

"Taiwei, Taiwei!" With the sound of shouting, Tao Qigong hurried over from behind.

"What happened?" Seeing Tao Qigong, Zhou Yuan's heart sank slightly.

"Taiwei, Donghu has sent a special envoy!" Tao Qigong lowered his voice, speaking in a voice that only Zhou Yuan could hear.

"Special envoy? Persuading surrender?" Zhou Yuan sneered, "Who is here?"

"Turu!"

"It really is him!" Zhou Yuan chuckled, "He's an old acquaintance."

"Would the captain want to see him? If not, I will drive him away!"

"No, see you, why don't you see me?" Zhou Yuan sneered, "It is true that I, Zhou Yuan, have fallen into peace, but I can't allow people to come and insult me ​​like this."

Tao Qigong led Tulu to enter through the self-operated gate. Tulu entered proudly with only two followers. Now that he is the winner, he will not smile at everyone like he did when he was in Jicheng. Bending over, at this time, he was full of vigor, with his head held high and his chest held high, passing through rows of soldiers standing awe-inspiring.

The thinking of the old king Miranda and the new king Thorpe was right. While walking, Tulu turned to think. Although he was surrounded, it was obvious that Zhou Yuan did not need to do anything to mobilize the morale that should have been low. Looking at the soldiers With the poisonous snake-like eyes, Tulu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

These people don't want to live anymore, they want to work hard. He wanted to exchange his own life for the lives of Donghu people.

Donghu people don't want to trade their lives for their lives. Because Yan people can afford to die, but Donghu people can't afford to die. Although Donghu won this battle, it was not without price. Donghu's own internal strife alone lost countless people. If it wasn't for Zhou Yuan's wrong judgment, Anxious to win, but Lao Wang is strategizing, it is really hard to say who will win this battle.

They wanted to work hard, but the Donghu people didn't want to work hard. Tulu came here to dispel Zhou Yuan's desperate thinking.

When people are in a desperate situation, they will burst out with great power, but if there is still vitality, this power will disappear, and once the negative emotions are ignited, it is not easy to extinguish them again.

Zhou Yuan's big tent was right in front of him, Tulu tidied up, with a smile on his face, and strode into the brightly lit big tent.

Generals of the Yan Army stood on both sides, Zhou Yuangao was on the desk, and everyone stared at Tulu covetously.

"Tulu has seen the Taiwei!" Tulu bowed to the ground, he often travels to the Central Plains, but he is very familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains people.

"You are very courageous, but you are unlucky. I just need someone to sacrifice the flag to boost morale. I didn't expect you to come, and what I didn't expect was that it was you. Before the decisive battle, someone If someone of your status comes to offer sacrifices to my king's flag, I think my soldiers will kill a few more Donghu people!" Zhou Yuan said solemnly.

Tulu smiled, "Has the Taiwei already decided to commit suicide? Taiwei, once the battle broke out, among the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yan army in this camp, can one of them return home alive? At this moment around the Xiong'er Mountain, I have gathered 100,000 cavalry in Donghu, if necessary, we can recruit another 100,000 soldiers and horses."

"That's all!" Zhou Yuan laughed wildly, "That's all. Even if my tens of thousands of troops die here, you Donghu people will have to pay a heavy price. Thinking about it, you also understand that this price, we The people of Yan can afford it, but you can’t afford it, within a few years, I, Dayan, will surely make a comeback, and at that time, it will be the time when your Donghu clan will be wiped out.”

Tulu nodded, "The captain is right, although the two sides are fighting. We may not have as many casualties as the captain imagined, but I am kind, and I don't want to cause more murders and more casualties, so let me go forward Come, discuss the truce with the Taiwei."

"A truce? Do you want me to surrender? Don't even think about it!" Zhou Yuan sneered, "I would rather die than surrender!"

"No, it's not a surrender. It's a peace negotiation, a truce!" Tulu said lightly. "Captain Zhou, you can't afford to kill these people. You, Dayan, are not the only country in this land. You are under siege now. I'm afraid you don't have some news. Zhao Jun is moving towards Sifang City, the whole city. Thinking about what the Taiwei and Zhao Mu want to do, if the four cities that Ye Xiang, Taiwei and others worked so hard to capture are lost again, then the battle between Yan and Zhao The offensive and defensive positions will change again, if the Taiwei dies here, I wonder if the State of Yan can withstand the attack of the State of Zhao?"

Zhou Yuan froze for a moment.

"Not only Zhao State, Qi State Tian Dan is also starting to gather troops in Shancheng. At the beginning, Qi State helped King Yan ascend the throne, but after your king returned home, he kicked Qi State away, leaving Tian Dan with nothing. I would mind sprinkling a pinch of salt on Yan Guo's wound." Tulu smiled.

"Death is easy, but after death, can the Taiwei have the consciousness that after you die, no matter what flood he has? Yan Kingdom is about to fall, and the Taiwei will not be moved by it?"

Hearing so much news, not only Zhou Yuan, but also all the generals in the tent were stunned for a while. They had the consciousness of death and surrendered, which would only bring shame and humiliation to their families, and even deprive them of nobles. Therefore, they are willing to exchange their death for the title of a hero and the safety of their family, but if the general situation of the world really changes so drastically, I am afraid that the country of Yan will really be overthrown, and under the collapse of the nest, How could there be any eggs!

Looking at the expressions of everyone in the tent, Tulu nodded with satisfaction, "So Taiwei, my king is willing to negotiate peace with you. Both sides should stop fighting and live in peace."

"Why did Thorpe do this? Doesn't he want to take this opportunity to take a bite of my big swallow? Kill us, and then march into the Central Plains." Zhou Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"No, no, no!" Tulu shook his head like a rattle, "It is important to have self-knowledge, and we Donghu people have self-knowledge. My clan is sparsely populated, and even in its heyday, we can only gather a hundred thousand people who control strings , and now, our clan has experienced civil strife, and fought with you Dayan again. Although we won, we also suffered heavy losses. If we think this way, we are not far from the disaster of extermination. Therefore, we are willing to cease fighting, Use this easy-to-reach victory in exchange for peaceful coexistence between us. Even when Dayan is in need, I, Donghu, can send troops to help you Yan, and resist foreign humiliation. Zhou Taiwei, this is our sincerity. Please Zhou Taiwei think twice."

The eyes of all the generals turned to Zhou Yuan.

"Okay!" Zhou Yuan hurriedly stood up, "If you are sincere, please let go of the road and let our army leave."

"Taiwei!" Tulu smiled faintly, "This time, you, Dayan, came to invade my Donghu, not me, Donghu, to beat you."

"So, you still have conditions?" Zhou Yuan said coldly.

"Naturally there are conditions." Tulu said with a smile: "If Zhou Taiwei intends to negotiate a peace, then please invite your king to send a special envoy to discuss the details of the truce with my king, and the two sides will sign the treaty. , Zhou Taiwei, you can leave."

Zhou Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's really ridiculous. You know that our army is running out of food and grass. Could it be that I am here to wait for our army to starve into soft-legged crabs, and let you have whatever you want?"

"In order to show my king's sincerity, as long as Zhou Taiwei agrees to negotiate a peace, then, after three days, my king will provide food and grass for your army every day. Of course, it will be provided once a day. Your army should have four to five days of food and grass. !” Tulu has a plan in mind.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, and the Donghu people knew exactly how much food and grass they had left in their army. (to be continued...)
