Chapter 703: The Young Phoenix’s Cry Shakes the World (6)

"Negotiating peace?" Thorpe closed his eyes. Two years ago, there was also a peace negotiation, but at that time, it was Donghu who used the victorious army to bargain with the Yan people from a high position. But this time, it was a compromise after a big defeat. What a taste of it. , it is really difficult for non-people to understand.

"Is the subject of the peace talks Yan Guo or Gaoyuan?" Thorpe's voice sounded in the silence.

Tulu felt relieved. What Thorpe said was acquiescing to the peace negotiation. What he feared most was that Thorpe would take advantage of the situation and try to regain the face of this failure. Then Donghu might really be doomed.

"Of course Gao Yuan." He said immediately.

"Gao Yuan?!" Arundai on the other side was furious, "Gao Yuan is just a general of the Yan State who conquered the east. If we negotiate a peace with him on an equal footing, aren't we admitting to the Yan people that we are inferior?"

"Is Gao Yuan just a general of the Yan Kingdom?" Tulu tilted his head and scolded: "General Arundai, think about it carefully, please?"

Arundai was a close confidant of Thorpe and the leader of the new generation of Donghu generals. He couldn't stand Tulu's tone and immediately jumped up to argue, but Thorpe waved his hand to signal him to calm down. Just say to Tulu, "What's the benefit?"

Thorpe didn't care about the issue of face, he cared more about the inside.

"Your Majesty, although Gao Yuan is a general of the Yan State, the conflict with the Yan State's court is almost impossible to mediate. If it were not for his strong strength, he would have been destroyed by the Yan Dynasty long ago. And now, we have been defeated by the Eastern Expedition Army. Hands, Gao Yuan's arrogance will definitely become more arrogant. At this time, if we add a ladle of oil to make him burn even more fiercely, the most uncomfortable person will actually not be us, but everyone in the Yan Kingdom's court." Tulu said.

"Tell me carefully."

"We only negotiate peace with Gao Yuan, which is equivalent to acknowledging Gao Yuan's equal status with the imperial court of Yan State. If Gao Yuan accepts it calmly, then it will be his unconquered ambition. It is obvious that if Yan State has nothing to say, how can it subdue everyone? To rule the people? Then there will inevitably be a conflict between Yan State and Gao Yuan. When they conflict, no matter who wins, it will give us a chance to recuperate. "

"I'm not optimistic about Ji Ling." Pu Suo said: "If Gao Yuan really grasps the overall situation of Yan country, we will be even more uncomfortable when we look back."

"Of course we can't let Gao Yuan sit in power. Gao Yuan has already occupied western Liaoning. Between the rivers, he stretched out his hand to Yuyang. His shadow was also reflected in the Zhao Dynasty's Daijun Revolution. He sat on the grassland and drove the Huns to occupy the area. The fertile land of Hetao will definitely become his granary in a few years. How can the whole country of Yan sit back and watch the fight with me, but they want to take advantage of the fishermen. , but now that we are negotiating with them, this fire may burn directly on their heads.

They will definitely not give up, and we are no match for them. Is the Yan State Chaotang Gao Yuan's opponent? "

"You mean, the two families will unite to get rid of Gao Yuan?" Thorpe said.

"Yes, but this time, we have to wait for Yan State to come to us." Tulu said.

"How do we make them understand this?"

"Ji Ling is not a fool, nor are Tan Feng and Zhou Yu. Now that our strength has been greatly damaged, they will no longer have any worries. Therefore, I believe that they will definitely send someone over to talk to us about a union between the two families and jointly send troops to deal with Gao Yuan. Yes. This time we negotiate with Gao Yuan, we will pay a lot of money, and we can make up for this loss with Yan Guo. "

"So great!" Thorpe finally showed a smile on his face. "Attack from both sides, Gao Yuan is strong, but in the end there are only those troops, but they are scattered on two far apart sides. I will definitely focus on one and lose the other. I will destroy Gao Yuan and get rid of the big worry on my mind. Then I will wait for an opportunity to peek at the Central Plains and choose the right time to devour it." ”

"What the king said is absolutely true." Tulu felt relieved when he saw that Thorpe finally regained his strength.

"You will be in charge of this matter, assisted by Arundai." Thorpe glanced at Arundai and said.

"Yes." The two of them bowed together.

Just when He Lin Wanma was acquainted with each other and fell into sadness, suppressed cheers came from a house in He Lin City. This is a shop that sells Central Plains utensils. It has been in Helin City for nearly twenty years. It has always been responsible and seems to have nothing to do with the Central Plains forces. It is precisely because of this that after Lu Shiren's betrayal, he hid safely. Passed Donghu's inspection.

"Boss Hong, Donghu is already a rabbit's tail after such a big defeat. It won't grow any longer. It won't be long before Governor Gao will send his troops into Helin. You abandoned your family and business and hid in Donghu for more than twenty years. It's finally possible to return to your hometown, I'd like to congratulate you in advance." Niu Ben looked at the skinny old man in front of him with respect in his eyes.

"Hometown?" Hong Ren smiled, "After living with Lin Yi for twenty years, the shadow of my hometown has long faded away. I faked my death and left. On the other side of my hometown, I'm afraid even my tomb has collapsed. Come on. My parents died ten years ago, so how can my brother and sister-in-law still remember me?"

Seeing the sadness hidden in the other person's eyes, Niu Ben nodded understandingly, "Brother Hong has suffered a lot over the years, but that's what we do in our profession. We remain anonymous and no one knows our achievements when we are alive. When we die, no one knows." If you want to hold us accountable, our affairs will never appear openly in broad daylight, but we have our own beliefs, and if we can watch Donghu’s destruction, your twenty years of hard work will not be in vain.”

"This is not the most painful thing." Hong Ren shook his head and sighed, "The most painful thing is watching his companions being caught and killed, but he can't do anything about it, and he even claps and laughs and applauds from the sidelines. Brother Niu, two years ago, he In Helin City, because of Lu Shiren's betrayal, none of the hundreds of brothers on his line escaped and were all captured. In addition to those who surrendered with Lu Shiren, there were nearly two hundred brothers who were all together at the East Street Vegetable Market. His mouth was decapitated, and the blood dyed the entire Caishikou ground red. Every time I think of the curses of those brothers before they died, my heart bleeds. They were all tough men! "

"Of course they are all good men, betrayers, and they will never end well. We are here this time to do these things. Brother Hong, your mission has been completed. Once we take action, you will not be able to hide it. Now, get ready to evacuate, we have arranged the passage, leave it to us."

Hong Ren hesitated for a moment, "Where am I going back?" He looked at Niu Ben with some panic in his eyes. He is an old man in the Yan Ling Guards, but he is also a secret agent arranged by Ning Zecheng. Now that Ning Zecheng is dead and Ning Xin has defected to the Eastern Expedition Army, Hong Ren actually doesn't know where he should go?

"Do you still need to ask? Of course we are going to the lady. Evacuate to Pioneer City first. The lady is in the Hetao now. Wherever you go, the lady will place you properly. Now the lady is sending people to help. You are an old man. When you arrive in front of the lady, Naturally, there is a time to show off one's talents, Yan Lingwei, we can never go back." Niu Ben patted Hong Ren on the shoulder: "Now that Tan Feng controls Yan Lingwei, the old people in our line are either dead or dead. It's just like you. They know there is a person like you, but they don't know where you are. As soon as you come back, wouldn't you be sent to their doorstep to die?"

"I am familiar with the streets and alleys of Helin, and I am also familiar with the people. Do you really don't need my help?" Hong Ren asked: "Or, I can complete this mission with you and kill those traitors. Walk!"

"No need!" Niu Ben shook his head, "Brother Hong, you have worked hard enough in the past twenty years. Besides, you are now part of a family. This is a beheading business after all. You have already given us the list and their addresses. , everyone’s living habits and frequent haunts, this is enough, let’s go, wait for me to come back in Pioneer City and then conspire to get drunk with you, we are not short of manpower.”

"Well, I'll wait for you in Pioneer City. Be careful with Lu Shiren. After his betrayal, he is now in the Donghu Court and is responsible for counter-espionage matters. This person is crazy, has rich experience, and is extremely difficult to deal with. According to reports, I know that several of his own people who were hiding later were dug out by him and died miserably."

"This man must die!" Niu Ben said coldly.

There was the sound of rapid footsteps outside, and then a person pushed the door in, whispered in Niu Ben's ear, and said a few words in a low voice. Niu Ben's face changed, "Brother Hong, the situation has changed. I have a contact person from the back team." It fell into Lu Shiren's hands. He knows this. I'm afraid you will leave soon and this point will be abolished immediately. Don't clean up, just take your relatives and leave immediately."

Hong Ren was shocked, "Okay, I'll leave right away. Where are you?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as we know this point of contact, we will leave immediately." His hand went to the cold crossbow on his waist, "The hunting is about to begin, but it seems we are the one who will kill it." You, or you kill us."

Everyone nodded and left one by one. Half an hour later, the room was empty.

At this time, in an official office not far from King Donghu's city, the lights were brightly lit. In the execution room, a naked man was hung and tied on a cross-shaped wooden frame, his head lowered, blood dripping from his eyes. The blood dripped from his body and fell in front of him. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Lu Shiren looked calm and was slowly washing his blood-stained hands in a copper basin. There were still a dozen people standing in the execution room. There were people from the Central Plains and people from the East Hu, but all of them looked at Lu Shiren with fear in their eyes.

Lu Shiren wiped off the water stains on his hands on a towel, and carefully rolled up the needle bag filled with silver needles that was spread out on the side. Then he turned around and said, "The remnants of Yan Lingwei have already rushed in." He Lin was captured with the intention of assassinating and causing chaos in He Lin, so he was captured immediately." (To be continued.)
