C298 When the Army Arrived at the City the Consorts Discussed Peace

When the news of the victory was sent back to the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to lead 200 thousand elite soldiers to assist. There was not much anger about the death of all of Cloud Guardian but it was a pity that it was more of a form of pride. Perhaps in the future, he will be able to solve a part of the problem in his heart.

Half a month later, just as everyone expected, Great Ming's army really arrived at the city. Leading them were General Qu, Mu Qingyun, Loong Feng, Loong Yun and Zhao Gongxun.

"Royal Highness, Marshal, the Nanzhou actually has an exemption card. Are they trying to buy time to call for reinforcements? " Loong Feng pointed at the waiver on the city wall as he spoke.

"Soldiers of Nanzhou, listen up. I am the commander of this expedition, Qu Jinpeng. As long as you are willing to give up resistance and open the city gate. . . I'll keep everyone safe. No one is willing to fight a war. Moreover, we are already at the city gates. Don't make meaningless sacrifices anymore. " General Qu did not answer him. Instead, a group of horses took a few steps forward and shouted towards the city wall.

"Does your words count?" At this moment, a soldier on the city wall shouted at him.

"Of course it counts. I am the commander of the army. I speak. If I don't count, then what do I have to say? "

"My king has a letter for you, Marshal. Please wait a moment. " After a long time, the soldier shouted again.

"A letter! What the hell is this Nanzhou doing? Why did they write a letter? Are they going to fight or not?!" After Loong Yun heard the shout, he couldn't think straight. He didn't know what kind of tricks Nanzhou was trying to pull.

"I think they are going to negotiate peace with us. " Qing Yun, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the city wall in the distance and said.

"Negotiate peace! At this moment, our troops have already arrived at the city walls. Isn't it a bit too late to negotiate peace now? What are we doing? We can only surrender now. " Loong Yun was very disdainful when he heard what Qing Yun said.

"You can't say that either. What His Royal Highness said is right. The possibility of them agreeing to peace is higher. The reason why they chose to negotiate instead of relying on the portrait is because of this city in front of them. " General Qu said as he sized up the city.

"City?" The deputy general was confused when he heard what the general said.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but the city walls are much taller than ordinary ones. Look at the city gates. There are huge rocks sealing the gates. If we want to take down this city, we will lose a lot. "

After listening to General Qu's words, everyone turned their heads and looked at the city in front of them. The city wall was unusually tall. Because of General Qu's arrival, the city gate actually dropped a piece of broken dragon stone. There were dozens of human-thick chains attached to the stone. It should be used to hang the huge stone. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. As long as the huge stone was placed, the city gate would be tightly blocked, and they wouldn't be able to attack it.

Judging from the current situation, it was just like what General Qu had said. If they wanted to take down the city, they would have to pay a heavy price.

At this moment, the sound of huge chains could be heard. Everyone looked over and saw that the chains around the city gate were continuously tightening. The Broken Dragon Stone was slowly pulled up, and the back of the city gate was opened. A person came out from inside.

It was a woman wearing white clothes. Her face was pretty and her skin was white. She was riding a group of white horses and slowly walked towards them. She cupped her fists in front of everyone.

"I am Liu Yanran, the virtuous concubine of the patriarch of the Helian Family in Nanzhou. I have seen the general here. I have seen the king and generals. " This woman was very polite and her voice was very pleasant to the ears, making people not feel hostile towards her at all.

"Hiss. . . " At this moment, Jueying, who was sitting under Qing Yun, screamed out. This startled the woman. However, Qing Yun could feel that it was not Jueying roaring again but rather excitement and happiness.

Qing Yun hurriedly patted Jue Ying to calm him down. After that, he carefully looked at this woman in front of him.

"Hehe, so it's Princess Consort Xian. May I know what is the purpose of your visit, Princess?" General Qu said as he cupped his fists and returned the greeting.

General Qu's tone was also very polite. As the saying goes, when two countries fight, there will be no envoys. Furthermore, it was a woman, so she should be treated well.

"Replying to Marshal, my king was bewitched and had the intention of disrespecting my king. Now, he is repentant and is willing to stop the peace negotiations with the great name. I wonder if Marshal is willing to make peace? How about we discuss it in detail in our tent? "

" Alright, then let's have a proper discussion. Men, order the troops to set up camp and rest. "

General Qu ordered the troops to set up camp. In a short while, the main tent was set up. The generals and the virtuous consort went to the main tent and sat down.

Before coming in, Qing Yun ordered Loong Feng, Loong Yun and Jih Nantian to carefully observe the movement of Nanzhou in the camp to prevent them from using any despicable means to launch a sneak attack.

"I wonder what Princess Consort Xian wants to discuss about peace?" General Qu sat on the main seat and looked at Liu Yanran who was sitting below him and said calmly.

"This is the letter of agreement of the patriarch of the Helian Family in Nanzhou. Please take a look at it. " As she spoke, the princess took out a document from her sleeve and handed it to the guard who walked over. The guard handed it to General Qu.

He took the document and opened it. The content was nothing more than saying how he was confused, how regretful he was now. He was willing to negotiate peace with the Great Ming Dynasty, and the terms and conditions could be discussed and decided.

"Princess Consort Xian, the document says that you can make the decision for all details and content, right?"

"Of course, you don't have to worry about the General. I am here on behalf of Nanzhou to negotiate peace with the General. Naturally, I have the right to make a decision. "

"Then Princess Consort Xian, I want to ask you, we have already arrived at the city of Nanzhou. Why should I negotiate peace with you? You have to know, it has been so many years. The chaos of war didn't stop. How many soldiers of the Great Ming died in the hands of the people of Nanzhou? You are the main instigator of this war. Everyone wants to get rid of you as soon as possible. Before, you didn't want to negotiate peace, but now you want to talk peace? Isn't it a little too late? "

"Hehe, Marshal wants to test this little girl, right? Although this war was instigated by us, My King was also bewitched and lost his mind. Now that I've come to my senses, I know that saying all of this now is useless. But I just want to say that war is cruel and inevitable. Even without us, there will still be other people who will start a war, as long as there are people, there will be war. Furthermore, the soldiers of Nanzhou have also suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid that the damage we have suffered is several times greater than that of Great Ming. We are also the victims of this war. "

"So what?"

" I feel that it has nothing to do with whether the instigators of the war need to be discussed or not. As for why we only proposed peace now, you should know even if I don't mention it, Marshal. "

"Oh! I know? Tell me about it. "
