According to the date specified by Su Rong, ten days later, the messenger from Wei arrived on time.
This messenger also ran to death on two horses. His hands and feet were tied limply, and he came to Su Rong and presented the second letter written by Yuan Zhao, the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty.
Fengling checked the letter on the side and handed it to Su Rong.
Su Rong stretched out his hand to take it. After reading it, he nodded and said to the man: "Okay, on the tenth day of the second lunar month, outside Xuzhou City, I will wait for you to discuss peace with the Wei Dynasty."
After she finished speaking, she stopped replying. She waved her hand and said to the messenger, "Let's go!"
The messenger bowed his hands weakly, said goodbye and left.
After the messenger left, Su Rong sighed, "Hey, it's already the tenth day of February. If Yuan Zhao hadn't written the date in the letter, I would have forgotten it. I don't know when it slipped by this year."
"On New Year's Eve, it was the Wei Dynasty that attacked Heiyaguan. When life and death were at stake, how could you think about celebrating the New Year." Zhou Gu thought about previous years, after attending the palace banquet in the palace, he went back to have a reunion dinner, and the whole family was busy Damn it, I narrowly escaped death this year, and my life was the most hectic, and I will never forget it.
He also didn’t expect that his first year with Su Rong would be like this. Who wants to celebrate the New Year at that time?
“It’s not a pity that there is still next year.” Su Rong smiled, “We are all alive and have a long future.”
"This is quite reasonable." Xie Yuan nodded at the side, "I wonder who the Crown Prince of Wei sent to negotiate peace? It must not be him. After all, he himself has to deal with Daliang."
"We'll know when the time comes. I guess the person coming is on the way, otherwise he wouldn't have delayed the time for a few more days." Su Rong was not in a hurry.
Xie Yuan speculated, "In addition to the crown prince Yuan Zhao, the second prince Yuan Chen of the Wei Dynasty also has some abilities."
“I guess it will be him.” Zhou Gu said.
Su Rong doesn't care, no matter who comes, don't try to make her conditions too harsh, otherwise she will beat her.
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Yuan Chen came to Xuzhou City with 50,000 troops and close personal guards.
He Lanjue and Nangong Zheng had received Yuan Zhao's letter and knew that the prince Yuan Zhao had sent the second prince Yuan Chen to preside over the peace talks. They both thought that at this critical juncture, the Wei Dynasty had lost several battles, which would make it easier for them to do so. The second prince Yuan Chen, who had always been somewhat ambitious, no longer opposed His Highness the Crown Prince. The brothers had made peace with each other first. The Crown Prince entrusted such an important matter to Yuan Chen, and it seemed that he had great trust in him.
Yuan Chen entered Xuzhou City after a long journey. After seeing He Lanjue and Nangong Zheng, he said to them: "Brother Wang ordered me to negotiate peace with the princess of Nan Chu. General He Lan will guard the city. Young Master Zheng will accompany me to fight with Nan Chu." Negotiate.”
He took out Yuan Zhao's letter and said, "Take a look. This is the letter from Brother Wang that I received while walking on the road."
He Lanjue took it, read it, and handed it to Nangong Zheng. After reading it, Nangong Zheng sighed secretly, "Your Highness, please go and rest first. I will join you the day after tomorrow."
Yuan Chen nodded and was taken to the place.
He Lanjue now has nothing to say to Nangong Zheng, "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is now very constrained by Daliang. Even if the terms of peace talks with Nan Chu are harsh, he has no choice but to give in."
Nangong Zheng nodded, "The situation is compelling and we have no choice but to do our best!"
He Lanjue sighed deeply, "Why did it get to this point?"
The tenth day of February is coming soon.
Su Rong, Zhou Gu, Ye Guixue, Zhang Yun, Cui Xingzhi, and Cui Yanjin, together with a group of guards, went to discuss peace outside Xuzhou City. Xie Yuan, Zhang Mao, Ning Chi, Zhou Shen, Zhou Che and others sat at the rear. When they arrived, the second princes of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Chen, Nangong Zheng, and several of Yuan Chen's cronies, as well as two cronies of the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao, were already waiting at Shili Pavilion outside Xuzhou City. He Lanjue sat in the rear.
Yuan Chen saw people riding horses in the distance. One of them was a woman with extremely beautiful appearance and slender figure. Her clothes were not gorgeous. She was not covered with dazzling red hairpin jewelry, but her whole body gave people a very bright and bright look. a feeling of.
He whispered: "Is that Su Rong, the princess of Southern Chu?"
Nangong Zheng nodded, "It's her."
Yuan Chen stared at Su Rong for a while, and then whispered: "Brother Wang said that one of the princes should be chosen to be her servant."
Nangong Zheng was stunned. He didn't know this yet, so he turned to look at Yuan Chen.
Yuanchen stopped talking.
Not long after, people from Nanchu arrived and everyone got off their horses.
Yuan Chen raised his hand to Su Rong and said, "I'm Yuan Chen."
Su Rong looked at Yuan Chen and thought that what Uncle Xie and Zhou Gu said was right. Yuan Zhao indeed sent Yuan Chen. She nodded, "I am Su Rong."
“The princess is so charming.” Yuan Chen praised.
Su Rong laughed and raised his eyebrows, "The second prince is quite lovable. He is more pleasing to the eye than your annoying prince brother."
Yuan Chen looked blank, "I think it's because the princess is jealous of the king brother, and the king brother is inferior to her. There is a huge difference between heaven and earth."
"Let's just say you are lovable and quite self-effacing." Su Rong sat down and said, "Tell me, your good prince brother, will you agree to my conditions? Because you, the Wei Dynasty, want to negotiate peace, I have been here for a long time. It's daytime, and my hands are itching very much. If you agree to my conditions, I will withdraw my troops. If you don't agree, we will fight. I don't have that much time to spend with you."
Yuan Chen also sat down and said, "The princess's conditions are too harsh. If the Wei Dynasty fights to the end, the princess will not make any gains. Since the Wei Dynasty wants to negotiate peace, it is natural that it is sincere, but Nanchu cannot be too harsh, otherwise it will influence the situation. It's just death. Should I die in humiliation or die on the battlefield? I believe that millions of Wei soldiers would be happy to die on the battlefield."
Su Rong smiled and said, "What you said is as if deserters in the war are not soldiers of your Wei Dynasty."
Yuan Chen’s expression froze.
Su Rong said directly: "You come and I go back and forth, what's the point of wasting a long time talking? Come on, tell me, before you came, what path did your prince brother draw for you? What can you promise me and what can't you?" Promise me, just say it. What I don’t like the most is hard work. I like to fight with real swords and guns. Let’s be simple.”
Yuan Chen had never seen such a person before. When he was asked to show his trump card, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Nangong Zheng spoke at this time: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Wei Dynasty can cede three more cities to Nanchu, and offer one hundred thousand taels of gold, one thousand high-quality BMWs, and structural diagrams of improved crossbows."
“No, it’s too little. We’ll send them to beggars.” Su Rong sneered, “There’s no need to talk.”
Nangong Zheng took a breath and added, "The Wei Dynasty will send another prince. He is very good-looking, and he will send the princess to be his servant."
Su Rong: “…”
My dears, there are seven days of meetings in Beijing. The schedule for this meeting is also very tight. There are meetings even in the evening. I don’t have time to type. I only have a few chapters in the manuscript. I will update them in the next few days. I am anxious to take care of myself for a few days. Wen, what, what, what?
