Xiao Yuan has stayed in Black Rock Plains for several days. The reason for this is to wait for the messenger from Xirong.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, after receiving his military order, all the generals came one after another.

Xiao Yuan was the last one to arrive. When they saw him, people lined up on both sides, clasped their fists and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Sir——"

The latter kept walking, waved his hand slightly to indicate that everyone should not be polite, then walked straight to the commander's seat and sat down, straight to the point: "According to the information sent back by the Snow Clan, Xirong has sent an envoy. If it is correct, its purpose should be

You want me to stop fighting with the army."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals were happy, especially the former rebel generals, who couldn't hide their joy. Goldman even smiled heartily and said: "In the past, when you didn't come, Xirong was so arrogant. I didn't expect that

, they will also take the initiative to seek peace one day!"

"Yes, Xirong is afraid of being beaten by our army..." Guan Kui received it.

Zhang Dashan stood out and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, as a general, I don't care if he wants peace or not, just continue to march and go straight to Xirong's lair! Kill them!"

This is a simple and simple idea.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he raised his hand to stop him and said: "Hey? Xirong's request for peace now is exactly what we want. First, our army has been fighting for a long time, and the supply of food and grass is still a big problem. Second

Second, the Xirong are nomadic people. Unless they are completely ruled, it is meaningless to temporarily occupy this place. Moreover, with the current strength of our army, it is impossible to truly destroy the Xirong."

What he said was right. This war has been going on for nearly a year. Qin is very poor and can support him until now. It is already the limit.

More importantly, Xiao Yuan's strategic goal has been achieved, which is to completely defeat Xirong as suggested by Shangguan Wenruo.

If the war continues and Xirong cannot be destroyed, his army may also be completely wiped out, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Xirong's request for peace was equivalent to quelling the chaos on the northwest border in disguise. After this battle, the other side would definitely not dare to invade the border again within a few years. During this period, Xiao Yuan could develop Qin's territory well and become stronger.

By then, Xirong will only become weaker and weaker on the Qin army's side.

This is a longer-term perspective and is not limited to this.

After he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo also stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you are right. Now that our army's strategic goal has been achieved, Xirong's peace proposal is acceptable, but the negotiation in this regard

Come on, my lord, please do not give in."

"What suggestions do you have?" Xiao Yuan looked at him.

"Ask the Xirong for post-war compensation and the losses of the twelve cities in Qin over the years. This is the basic condition." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded, then glanced at the generals and said: "Listen to the order! All officers and men, cheer up and prepare for martial arts! Anyone who slacks off will be punished by military law!"

He obviously wanted to show off the might of the Qin army and intimidate the Xirong envoys when they arrived.

When all the generals heard this, they all clasped their fists and said, "Promise!"

A few days later, the Xirong envoy arrived at the Qin army camp.

The person in charge of receiving him was Shangguan Wenruo. After the two met, Gen put his hand on his chest and bent down to salute, while Shangguan Wenruo bowed his hands.

As an envoy, representing the King of Xirong, Gen naturally understands the Chinese language. After the etiquette was in place, he got straight to the point: "My lord, I wonder where the Lord of Qin is now?"

He was direct, and Shangguan Wenruo was even more so. He stretched out his hand and said, "My lord is already waiting for the envoy. Please come this way."

"please."

The two entered the military camp, led by Shangguan Wenruo, and walked all the way to the camp where Xiao Yuan was.

At this moment, everywhere in the military camp, there are three posts and one sentry, five steps and one sentry. There are many sergeants and they are heavily guarded. There are black armor and red tassels everywhere. You can hear the sound of shouting and drilling at any time.

On the temporary martial arts field, the soldiers of the Qin army held long halberds, their waists were straight, and their military appearance looked horizontally and diagonally.

After a while, under the general's order, all the soldiers began to hold their halberds in unison.

"Kill! Kill——"

The chorus of shouts was deafening.

The heavy shield hit the ground, and the halberd was like a thorn.

Large groups of cavalry were galloping back and forth in the military camp.

The whole scene was full of chilling atmosphere.

While walking, Genn looked left and right, observing all this. He couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and began to re-evaluate the Qin army's combat strength.

At this moment, Peng Shuang, with a group of cavalry, happened to be passing by on horseback. When he saw Genn dressed as a foreigner, he pulled the reins, pointed at Genn with the sword in his hand, glared and shouted: "Where did the thief come from?

!”

Following his shout, other cavalrymen also pressed the hilts of their swords at their waists, preparing to draw their swords.

Gen was shocked when he saw this, but before he could explain, Shangguan Wenruo waved his hand and said, "Hey? This is the envoy from Xirong. The general must not be rude."

"Humph!" Hearing this, Peng Shuang snorted coldly, then glared at Genn fiercely, and then led a group of cavalry away.

He left, but just now he was scared to death. However, the further he walked in, the more serious the murderous feeling became.

The sound of heavy armor and vertical shields hitting the ground, Ru Lin's halberds stabbing together, the power of the Qin army, this scene, in Gen's eyes, made him start to swallow his saliva secretly, and the cold sweat on his forehead,

I don't know when it has already seeped out.

After arriving outside Xiao Yuan's tent, he finally calmed down, and then, under the guidance of Shangguan Wenruo, he walked in.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was looking at the bamboo slips behind the handsome case. After the two people came in, Shangguan Wenruo bowed his hands and saluted Xiao Yuan and said, "Sir, the envoy from Xirong has arrived."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan heard this, put down the bamboo slips, stood up, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the envoy has arrived. I'm sorry that I am busy with military affairs and I really don't have time to go far to greet him. I apologize."

"No, General Xiao is too polite." Gen also bowed quickly.

Unexpectedly, he spoke Chinese language so fluently. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a look at him. Unlike those Xirong soldiers, Genn was relatively thin.

After looking at it, he extended his hand and said, "Envoy, please take a seat."

"General Xiao, please." Gen seemed to understand Chinese etiquette very well. After saying this politely, the two of them took their seats.

At this time, Genn began to organize his words and prepared to speak, but before he could speak, Xiao Yuan directly asked: "The envoy is here, what is the matter? You might as well speak frankly."

"This..." Genn pondered for a moment, then said: "To be honest, General Xiao, I came here specifically for the purpose of truce."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile:
