Bai Yutian was sitting in the center of the hall, flanked by Jing Zhao and other civil servants and generals, with a serious expression.
At the bottom of the main hall, Cui Zian saluted Bai Yutian and glanced at Bai Yutian while bending down.
Most of the Shanu people are very tall and muscular, but Cui Zian is like a white-faced scholar with a thin body, which is different from most Shanu people.
Cui Zian had only heard a little bit about this Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty before, but had never heard of it before.
Three years ago, Shanu occupied Shangyuan, drove Bai Yutian and others out of the capital, and was forced to move the capital to Tailin, which has always been considered a shame for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But Bai Yutian has become a joke among the Shan slaves.
However, when Cui Zian saw Bai Yutian today, he found that he was extraordinary and dignified, and he was not as unbearable as the rumors said.
"Emperor Dazhou, on behalf of the Shanu Kingdom, I request to negotiate peace with Dazhou. It will be useless for both of us to continue fighting." Cui Zian said lightly, neither humble nor arrogant, acting very indifferently.
Just this magnanimity can already show that this person is extraordinary.
As soon as Cui Zian said this, many people in the hall immediately looked at each other and whispered.
Frankly speaking, who would be willing to appear on the battlefield if they could avoid fighting.
Bai Yutian sneered. Shan Nu's so-called peace negotiation was definitely not just a peace negotiation. There were probably countless interests behind it.
As expected, Cui Zian paused for a moment and then said: "Actually, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the Shanu Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Shanu Kingdom lives in the desert, has a harsh climate, severe terrain, and difficult life, so it is
I hope to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty and seek a place to survive."
"This time, if the Great Zhou Dynasty cedes Liangzhou and Xuzhou to the Shanu Kingdom, I can guarantee that Shanu will not set foot on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty again within a hundred years."
In the final analysis, Shanu still coveted the environment of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to occupy the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
How could Bai Yutian tolerate this?
"You keep saying that you will not set foot on the territory of Great Zhou, but you must know that the land you step on now is our territory of Great Zhou. Even the five states of Xihuang and the three states of Beiyuan are my territory of Great Zhou. If you
If you really don’t set foot in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then you should get out of these places.”
Bai Yutian fought back with his lips and tongue, showing no mercy, showing his tough side.
Cui Zian's eyes flashed with uneasiness. This time he miscalculated. He didn't expect Bai Yutian's attitude to be so tough and unwilling to give in at all.
"Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are worth thousands of gold and are on the battlefield in person. We Shannu can afford this war, but you, the Great Zhou Dynasty, may not be able to afford it. Moreover, the troops led by the commander-in-chief have far exceeded those of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the moment.
The army, not to mention several other generals sitting firmly in the rear, will definitely be a devastating blow to the Great Zhou."
Before invading the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shan Nu had a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After knowing that most of the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were held back by the rebel forces within the territory, he dared to launch an attack brazenly. With 400,000 troops, less than
In ten days, they pushed across Liangzhou and conquered several cities in Xuzhou.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Bai Yutian's reinforcements, with Jing Zhao's current military strength, both states would have been completely lost within ten days.
Cui Zian Xiaozhi, with emotion and reason, told the general situation of Da Zhou, and also explained the situation on the battlefield and the benefits after the peace negotiation.
As a lobbyist, Cui Zian is definitely very qualified.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has serious internal and external troubles. For the current Great Zhou Dynasty, peace negotiation is indeed a very good choice.
However, if Liangzhou and Xuzhou are cut off, ten of the fifty states in the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall into the hands of Shan Nu, and one-fifth of the states will change owners, which will definitely have a huge impact on the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
blow.
At this time, Bai Yutian gave Yuncheng a look, and Yuncheng immediately understood, nodded slightly, stood up, and looked at Cui Zian.
"My Lord Envoy, as far as I know, although the Shanu Kingdom is known as one country, it is divided into four major tribes and several small tribes. I don't know whether the Shanu the envoy represents is the Shanu Rock Tribe or all the Shanu tribes.
." Yuncheng said with a slight smile.
Yuncheng's words made Cui Zian's expression change slightly. There was no unified country in Shanu, and what he said was indeed just referring to the Rock Tribe.
After all, almost all of the invading army were members of the Rock Tribe and its affiliated tribes, and in the end, it was only the Rock Tribe who negotiated peace with the Great Zhou.
In this way, the other tribes of Shanu would still have an excuse to invade the Zhou Dynasty.
Now that the loopholes in the text were discovered by Yuncheng, Cui Zian had no choice but to say: "I have a low status and can only represent the Rock Tribe, but the commander-in-chief has a very high status. As long as Da Zhou agrees to negotiate a peace, he will definitely be able to do it when I go back and report to the commander-in-chief.
Give Da Zhou a promise."
However, this statement obviously cannot be believed by everyone.
If a rock tribe wants to occupy the two states of Dazhou, then other tribes will also occupy the two states of Dazhou. Over time, won't Dazhou become completely the world of Shannu?
"Secondly, the Great Zhou has a vast land and vast territory. Although some places are facing disasters, most areas have good weather and a peaceful climate. The army has sufficient supplies and cannot afford to waste it, but it may not be me, the Great Zhou."
"In addition, Dazhou still has the troops of King Qin. If the Shanu Kingdom is really ready to fight to the death with Dazhou, Dazhou will not mind dispatching millions of cavalry to suppress the Shanu Kingdom. Even if you and the Shannu can win, at least you Rock
The tribe will also be exterminated."
Yuncheng said in a deep voice, leaving Cui Zian's retort speechless.
It was clearly Shan Nu who had the upper hand, but Yun Chengyi said it as if he had the chance to win the Great Zhou Dynasty. This caused a trace of panic on Cui Zian's face.
He quickly adjusted his mood and looked at Yuncheng warily. This person should not be underestimated.
"It is beneficial for both parties to negotiate a peace. I hope Emperor Zhou will understand." Cui Zian turned his attention to Bai Yutian and said to Bai Yutian.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yutian waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind. If Shan Nu wants to fight, Da Zhou is willing to accompany him to the end. When the time comes, I just hope Shan Nu won't be afraid."
Seeing this, Cui Zian sighed, said goodbye to everyone, and then walked away.
He understood that Bai Yutian and others were determined to fight, and it was absolutely impossible to negotiate peace now.
However, he was very confident in the strength of his army, and it was only a matter of time before he occupied Xuzhou.
"Also, tell your commander-in-chief for me and ask him to wash his neck and wait. Sooner or later, I will personally cut off his head."
When Cui Zian was leaving, his face turned cold when he heard Bai Yutian's words, and he clenched his fists. He was very angry in his heart, but he did not dare to get angry.
The two armies were fighting, and the envoy was not killed. But if he got angry now, he would play into Bai Yutian's hands, and Bai Yutian might even kill him directly.
"I will definitely inform the commander-in-chief." Cui Zian said solemnly, and then left the hall.
