This banquet was very lively. During the meal, Xiao Yuan was toasted frequently by the generals.

Compared with civil servants, he is somewhat biased towards his beloved generals.

After all, he is a little bit more focused on martial arts than literary.

After the banquet, the generals drank almost the same, and went out of the palace in groups of three or three to two.

On the way, someone was drinking and couldn't help but mutter, "You said this prime minister is really, and he insisted on forcing us to read some poetry and books. I think it's just a waste of time. You can fight on the battlefield and be able to fight.

That's what a general should do."

Hearing this, another general chuckled and said, "Old Liu, Prime Minister is for your own good. It's not bad to read more books. Look at your low quality, it's time to improve.

”

"Ouch! I said you, Feng Jindou, don't know a word, and you are mocking me?"

"Haha!" This sentence caused a burst of hearty laughter.

At the same time, on the way out of the palace, Ning Zhan, who had drunk some wine, just happened to meet Chu Ning.

The two of them knew each other.

He stopped Chu Ning with a wide body, and Ning Zhan looked at her and said, "Miss Chu."

"Is there anything to do with the general?" Chu Ning glanced at him and lowered his head slightly.

"Miss Chu, I..."

Ning Zhan took a deep breath and was about to say something, but Chu Ning interrupted him as if he was escaping: "The general is drunk."

After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and let his body leave here.

She knew what Ning Zhan wanted to say.

In fact, Chu Ning is inferior. She knows her identity, knows that she is not a perfect person, and knows that she is not worthy of Ning Zhan, and she dares not even wish that she is grateful to be today.

Looking at her back, Ning Zhan sighed. As he was the eight brave generals, it was actually very simple to marry any kind of girl he wanted to marry.

The days just pass by day.

During this period, the Envoy Huan met Xiao Yuan many times during the battle against Qin Huan, and Lingguo also intervened, sent envoys to Qin and mediated for many times.

This is a political competition involving military affairs and the future strategic direction of Lingguo.

Under such circumstances, many ministers of Qin also expressed their opinions. Xiao Yuan met with Envoy Huan again under pressure from all sides and the situation in the north.

The court meeting on this day.

After Huan came in, he first bowed: "I have met His Highness the King of Qin."

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "What does the messenger say today, but it's okay to say it."

Envoy Huan said straight to the point: "I don't know what the King of Qin is thinking about the truce."

"If you use the envoy's words to your country, you can cease the war. When the countries attack Qin, why don't you retreat?" Xiao Yuan said.

"This..." Huan Envoy paused and said, "The attack on Qin is not something our country plans. I hope your highness will understand clearly."

"But Huan State was the party that sent troops quickly, right?" Xiao Yuan said slowly: "This war was taken by Huan State to fight. The original intention was to destroy Qin. Now the war is here,

Qin State cannot be bullied by others and will not fight back.”

Hearing this, Huan Hun said hurriedly: "Your Highness calms down. It is indeed wrong for our country to attack Qin, but the truce of war is beneficial to both sides. If you continue to fight, Qin Huan will be exhausted and may have to give it to his country.

You can take advantage of the opportunity."

Xiao Yuan didn't even take his tricks, and said in a plain voice: "I want to ask the envoy, when Liang Kingdom attacked Huan, your country came to Qin as an envoy, I helped you? Then, the ghost

The clan invaded and Huan was slaughtered. Did our Qin soldiers send troops again, travel thousands of miles and fight for a long distance to wipe out foreign enemies? I wanted to be friendly with King Huan, but in the end, Huan Kingdom was gone.

The reason is to attack our Qin territory. If the envoy has any objection to refute at this point, I might as well say a word and I will listen carefully."

"This..." Huan Zhi didn't know how to answer, and looked anxious.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan said again: "In the matter of diplomatic relations, I promised the envoy to argue with reason, but now it seems that the envoy seems to have no refutation."

"No, Your Highness, King Qin..."

Huan became more and more anxious, but Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly and interrupted him: "Okay, Huan wants to cease the war, yes, but you must pay the due price for this war. I, Qin, aren't you who want to fight.

Just fight, and you can get out of here if you don’t fight. In this way, wouldn’t anyone come and bully it?"

Speaking of this, Envoy Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what your Highness has to ask for this?"

Xiao Yuan said directly: "To the west of Wuxia Pass, all cities including Jiuyuan."

"What?" Huan Envoy widened his eyes and said anxiously: "Your Highness! Are the two counties west of Wuxia Pass too harsh?"

"This is my bottom line." Xiao Yuan had no doubts. If it weren't for the repeated mediation, there would be only these.

But if Huan envoy ceded the land, he had no right. Seeing that he could no longer turn around, he swallowed and could only say with a bitter face: "This is important, I really dare not agree, I still have to pass on it.

Book my king.”

"Yes, this king and my brother Huan's reply." Xiao Yuan was not anxious: "But before, no matter whether Lingguo intervenes or not, I will not discuss this matter again. Please tell the envoy truthfully that if time delays

It took too long, and I can't guarantee whether the Qin army would take it on its own and then break through Wuxia Pass."

Envoy Huan swallowed again and bowed and said, "Yes, yes, I will report it immediately."

I thought that the spiritual envoy was also in Qinzhou and had met with the King of Qin for many times. Today's meeting would have some good news, but unexpectedly, the land would eventually be cedeed.

Envoy Huan had no choice but to take his leave temporarily.

After he left, Yan Ming stood up and couldn't help saying, "King, my country's request is probably because King Huan won't agree, and there is Lingguo helping them."

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said with a firm tone: "Don't worry, Lord Yan, King Huan will agree, and the Ling Kingdom will also let him agree."

He was right. In order to cease the war as soon as possible, King Huan had no choice. Lingguo had long known that cede land was an inevitable result.

Sure enough, the letter from the envoy Huan was sent back to the king's court. After reading it, King Huan was unwilling to accept it, but after discussing with the ministers, he finally compromised.

In the Huan Kingdom's court, the peace-seeking faction accounted for the vast majority, and in order to preserve this last little family background, King Huan did not dare to fight for the entire army.

It took time for letters to communicate. After King Huan's instructions, Envoy Huan began to sign relevant agreements with Xiao Yuan on behalf of Huan Kingdom, and trembled with his brush and zipped the map.

Xiao Yuan's purpose of asking the west of Wuxia Pass was very obvious, which also prepared for the subsequent migrant Huan in advance.
