After receiving the support of hundreds of officials and the emperor's on-the-spot appointment, Su Yu had no reason to refuse. Du Shanbo could only obtain some negotiation conditions and independent conditions for Su Yuduo, and gave him the privilege of making temporary decisions to dispatch troops to the north of the country. However,
This decision to deploy military power is really ridiculous. How could Su Yu, a civilian official, command the army in the north of Saibei? Fortunately, at this time, Dushanbo advised Emperor Dade that the garrison of Mucheng in Saibei was a subordinate of the original Su Yu, and he would definitely give his full assistance.
Therefore, Su Yu was forced by everyone to send him to Saibei for peace talks.
Su Yu said with a sad face: "Brother, I also want to achieve something like you. You have broken out into the world with your courage, and now you have become the youngest garrison of the Holy Han who is famous in the court and the public. You don't know how much you have in Longdu."
Fame, your reputation as a ghost general has spread to the Dragon City."
Zhang Xiaowu cupped his hands and smiled: "Thanks to your support."
"If I could promote you to the position of city lord, I'm afraid you wouldn't end up in such a miserable situation. Before I went on the mission, I had asked my family to build a tomb. If I were killed in Saibei, I would have a burial place.
"Su Yu said miserably.
Zhang Xiaowu raised his glass and said: "Come, let us wish Mr. Su a smooth peace negotiation and return with his body intact."
Su Yu almost choked to death with a mouthful of wine, pointed at Zhang Xiaowu and said angrily: "You are not careful in making friends, you are not careful in making friends. You have poached tens of thousands of taels of silver from me, and you are still mocking me like this. Where is your conscience? Where is your conscience?"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to toast. Su Yu pointed at the wine glass and said, "I would rather die drunk today than be tortured and killed by the barbarians."
After everyone drank heavily, Su Yu looked at the wine bottle and said angrily: "I want to get drunk, but I don't get drunk. How weird!"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and suddenly asked: "Brother Boling, what is the bottom line of the peace talks set by the court for you? You need to make it clear to me, maybe I can help you."
Su Yu was extremely grateful. He held Zhang Xiaowu's hand and said drunkenly: "The final bottom line of the imperial court is to rescue one hundred thousand soldiers in Jincheng."
Zhang Xiaowu quickly shook off his hand and said, "How did you know that 100,000 people were trapped in Jincheng?"
Su Yu said: "There are rumors in Longdu City that it is one hundred thousand. It should be the number reported by Cheng Chu. As for how Cheng Chu knew it, I don't know."
"So it's him." Everyone said with disdain, these cowardly people actually have the nerve to live until now, but they all have their own ways of living.
Su Yu said drunkenly again: "The Battle of Huashu River ruined the Xuanwu Legion, and if the Battle of Jincheng ruined the Qinglong Legion... the face of the Holy Han Empire has been completely disgraced. In order to save a hundred thousand soldiers, the Emperor did not resort to war. If necessary,
You can sacrifice Mucheng and cede all of Saibei to Wuhuan."
Zhang Xiaowu and others suddenly stood up, and everyone at the table was angry. What nonsense is this? You can sacrifice Mucheng, but you have to cede Saibei?
Su Yu hurriedly comforted them and sat down. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm so ashamed! I didn't know how to tell you about this all the way here. After I told the truth, I was afraid that you would be sad. If I don't tell the truth... If I am forced to do so in the future, I will have no choice but to tell you the truth."
You can sacrifice Mucheng."
"In other words, the imperial court ceded Mucheng without our knowledge?" Zhang Xiaowu said angrily, clenching his fists, "What is the difference between this emperor and the deposed prince?"
"Eh? Don't tell me, this is very different from the deposed prince." Su Yu said: "The biggest difference between them is that the deposed prince Chen Bing is waiting for me to die so that he can lead his troops and succeed to the throne. The emperor is Chen Bing Longdu,
Prevent the victims from rebelling, and if necessary, sacrifice the land in the north of the Great Wall to fight for the return of the Han army. I think the emperor is still much better than the prince. He is the best military advisor in the world. I don't think so. I only care about my own calculations."
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhang Xiaowu said, "If the prince becomes emperor, he may not do any worse than he does now."
"Shh... shh..." Su Yu was suddenly frightened and said: "Just pretend I haven't heard of it, be careful what you say, be careful what you say."
Zhang Xiaowu sneered and threw down the wine glass. Hu Sanwan yelled at the thief. Xiao Kai was so angry that he punched the table and broke the plate. Fortunately, the skin was thick and the flesh was thick and there was no blood.
Guan Xiang asked: "Brother Boling, if Mucheng is really abandoned, is there any way to resettle the defenders and people of Mucheng?"
Su Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but if the negotiation is successful, the court will have its own decision. I am only responsible for the negotiation, not for settling the people. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Hu Sanwan immediately cursed, Xiao Kai was so angry that his beard curled up, and even Wang Yijin, who rarely interrupted, became anxious: "The court doesn't want us anymore, the worst is for us... us..."
"We are just sitting down," Zhang Xiaowu scolded.
This matter was indeed unkind to the court. Su Yu had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Fortunately, I am the envoy for the peace talks now. If I can win over Mucheng, I will try my best to fight for it. If the situation is impossible, I will... try my best."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Xiaowu smiled indifferently. He thought calmly, if he was an emperor and faced internal difficulties and external difficulties, and there were still military ministers in the court to threaten him, and people from all over the country were in constant rebellion, the only thing he could do was to compromise.
Stop wars and nourish the people. As far as wooden cities are concerned, one more wooden city for the Holy Han is not much, and one less wooden city is not much. Such a barren land is only suitable for horse herding but not for farming. For the Central Plains with a farming structure, it is really useless.
He took a sip of wine. Everyone thought he was going to curse the court, but they saw him smile slightly and said: "This great virtuous emperor does have some abilities. He can cut off the wrists of strong men decisively. He is a wise king."
Hu Sanwan said anxiously: "City Lord, why are you still speaking for them? If the imperial court really loses Mucheng, where should we go? Go to Lianglangguan to live under the fence?"
Su Yu was a little drunk and said: "Brother Zhang Xian, don't worry, Uncle Dushan appreciates you very much, and maybe he will use you again."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Whether the imperial court abandons Wooden City depends entirely on the peace talks. As long as the peace talks envoy does not relent, Wooden City can still be preserved." He stared at Su Yu and said seriously: "Whether the Wooden City exists or not, all depends on the peace talks.
With the imperial envoy’s ability, can you protect me, Mucheng?”
Su Yu poured himself a glass, drank it in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhang Xian is joking, I am going to die. I will use my big head to tell Quan Yi that this time I am sincere in making peace. I have thought about it, really
The imperial emissary will only follow me after my death
Sent from Longdu City." He hugged Zhang Xiaowu beside him and cried loudly: "Brother, I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough. This old dog Zhou Wenqi lied to me, and Uncle Du Shan is also a
You ruthless person will not protect me after using me, I feel so miserable..."
Everyone looked strange, Zhang Xiaowu quickly pushed him aside. Unexpectedly, Su Yu lay on the ground and fell asleep. When a person's mood changes, he can get drunk after just drinking a little wine. Especially today, Su Yu was a good drinker. He was stunned.
He got himself drunk, and everyone laughed bitterly when they saw this. Zhang Xiaowu asked Wang Yijin to arrange for him to rest in the guest room, and had people keep an eye on him. He was worried that this guy would vomit non-stop today and suffocate himself to death with pickled food.
