Chapter 208: A Reason

Xiao Yun pressed his excited heart and continued to speak in a deep voice: "When King Zhuang of Chu was confidently escorted Jie Yang to the car in Wangcheng, he ordered him to speak to the people of Song according to the previous agreement. Jie Yang was quite obedient. Without waiting for King Zhuang of Chu to give orders, he shouted loudly at the Wangcheng Tower, saying that the reinforcements of Jin will arrive soon and asked Song to persist no matter what. King Zhuang of Chu found that he had been deceived, but for the time being, he could not stop Jie Yang, who was in a high altitude, so he could only keep his eyes open.

Seeing that he finished shouting all the words. After putting Jie Yang down, King Zhuang of Chu said to Jie Yang: You are not trustworthy, so you can’t blame me for not keeping your promise. I want to behead you now! Jie Yang said to King Zhuang of Chu, I am an envoy, and according to "ritual", my mission is to faithfully convey the meaning of the king, and I am doing my duty! You can kill me now, but you started this war for the death of an envoy. If you kill me, wouldn’t it be the same for yourself?”

The originally quiet hall suddenly became quiet. Xiao Yun was slightly stunned and thought to himself: "Damn it, this is better than expected!"

After a little excited, the story followed by: "Everyone thought that King Zhuang of Chu would kill Jieyang, but he did not expect that King Zhuang of Chu did not do this, but instead released him back to Jin State. He was besieged for a long time without any results. King Zhuang of Chu planned to withdraw his troops, but Shen Qu's father stopped in front of the car and said: "My son spared no effort to fulfill the mission of King Chu. Is the King of Chu going to break his promise?" King Zhuang of Chu had nothing to say for a moment. So Shen Qu's father suggested building a house in the State of Song,

When he cultivated the land and expressed his desire to occupy the State of Song for a long time, the State of Song would express his surrender. Seeing that the Chu army refused to retreat, the State of Song sent Huayuan envoys to negotiate. Huayuan sneaked into the Chu army camp in the middle of the night and kidnapped the commander of the Chu army, Zibing, and said: "My king wants me to negotiate for the envoys. Now the city is indeed 'changing the sons and separating the body', but if an alliance is established under the city, he would rather sacrifice the whole country. Your army retreated thirty miles away, and our country will only listen."

A group of generals obviously had never heard such a thrilling story. Before Xiao Yun could finish his speech, he heard someone in the crowd asking: "How did you come later?"

Xiao Yun glanced at the Seventh Prince. Seeing that the Seventh Prince also had a waiting look, he smiled slightly, and saw the eyes shifting to the faces of the people in the hall again, and said with a smile: "Is this more important thing? If there is a hostage in hand, Chu State will certainly not do anything randomly. The next day he reported to King Zhuang of Chu. King Zhuang of Chu was the heroic lord after all. After thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed a bit unfair to attack Song State like this. So after receiving the report the next day, the Chu army really retreated thirty miles away and ceased to fight with Song State. Both sides promised not to deceive each other anymore. Hua Yuan lived in Chu State as a hostage for this peace agreement.

Most of the spectators were military generals. After listening for a while, they didn't know what the story had to do with the killing of Zhang Shixin and others. They didn't understand it for a while, so they stared at the Seventh Prince with wide eyes.

The Seventh Prince sat silently on the bench, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he didn't care about what Xiao Yun said, but in fact he could hear everything clearly. He was familiar with the story of "the two countries were fighting and not killing them to entrust the Han military books, so how could he not know about it? Besides, in addition to this story, there is also a story "Meeting in Pengcheng".

Four hundred and fifty years ago, the Southern Dynasty Liu Song fought with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Liu Song launched a Northern Expedition, winning first and then losing, and the strategic stronghold Pengcheng was surrounded. King Liu Yigong of Jiangxia led his army to defend Pengcheng (now Xuzhou). Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty wanted to fight the Yangtze River in one fell swoop and sent Li Xiaobo to Pengcheng as an envoy to persuade him to surrender. Liu Yigong sent Zhang Chang as a representative to negotiate with Li Xiaobo.

Zhang Chang and Li Xiaobo were both "famous scholars" at that time. Although they were in an extremely cruel war environment, they were still gentle and polite in the negotiations.

Li Xiaobo set out early in the morning and brought the camels, mules and horses, sable furs and wine and other northern local foods given to Liu Yigong by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. When he arrived at the south gate of Pengcheng, the city gate had not opened yet, Zhang Chang greeted Li Xiaobo at the top of the city. Li Xiaobo asked in a mocking tone: "Why did you hurriedly close the door and the high city bridge?" Zhang Chang replied: "Our king considered that the main camp of Wei was not established, the soldiers were tired, and more than 100,000 people were crowded together, and it might be trampled to cause disaster, so he closed the city temporarily. Wait for your rest, and then govern the battlefield together, choose a good day to travel together.

"Li Xiaobo said, "Why do you have to boast that you have 100,000 people? Our good horses are easy to be strong. If there are four episodes of Yunqi, it is enough to reject each other." Zhang Chang replied, "If I want to boast, I have to say that there are millions of people. One hundred thousand are just the regular soldiers of our king. In addition, there are several states of scholars and commoners in this city, which are enough to form a camp. I haven't mentioned it yet. I fight wits, but not horses. The north is a place where horses are produced, and there are many horses that are not worth boasting!" Li Xiaobo said, "It's not like this. It's not like that. Defending the city is your strength; fighting in the field is my strength. My reliance on horses is like the king's reliance on city."

Zhang Chang opened the city gate and did not bring his entourage to meet Li Xiaobo. Li Xiaobo explained the gift he brought, and Zhang Chang also conveyed the gift that Liu Yigong gave to Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei: the snail cup and rice dumplings of the southern specialty. Li Xiaobo also asked for wine and "Bogu" (entertainment utensils) on behalf of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Zhang Chang asked someone to pick it up, but also criticized him: "What you said just now is not a polite word, and there is an edict, which is the name of your own country. How can you use it here?" Li Xiaobo said: "'edict'

Are not both synonyms and sentences of "一" and "I"?" Zhang Chang said: "If it is a general word, it can be used, but in the conversation, such words are of high or low value. So what you call "公" is not something you dare to hear." Li Xiaobo also said: "Is the commander of the army a minister?" Zhang Chang said: "Yes." Li Xiaobo said: "Why can't the ruler of the neighboring country be called the minister of the neighboring country?" Zhang Chang replied: "You cannot be heard of this statement in China. Besides, our commander is known as the king of the king, can we still be called the ruler of the neighboring country?"

After a greeting with a clever storm, Li Xiaobo turned the topic to the topic. He explained the situation to Zhang Chang: "The King of the Wei Lord Yongchang, personally led 80,000 elite cavalry and galloped across Huainan. The Shouchun City of the Shouchun City was closed for a long time and dared not defend each other. The head of the General Liu Kangzu of the Party had already been sent to Shouchun. The General Wang Xuanmo had only very ordinary abilities. The generals of the Party sent were so obliged and defeated many. Our army had entered this territory for more than 700 miles, and the Lord of the Party could not resist rebellion. Zoushan was a dangerous city. The General Cui Xieli was suppressed by our army's vanguard and fled into the cave. The soldiers of our army were dragged out. The Lord of Wei gave him his life. Why should you send Ma Wengong to guard Xiaoxian easily? Do you want him to escape again? The people also resented the Party and said that it was normal.

He only knows how to collect taxes and taxes, but in times of crisis, he cannot save the people." Zhang Chang replied: "We know that King Yongchang has passed Huainan. However, our king Xuanmo is a general in the south, and is not a talent, but just a vanguard. Cui Xieli is just sent to comfort the young generals in the newly recaptured area. The Wei Lord sent the main force of the whole country to deal with it. What can we boast about? The people in the kingdom, who live on the riverside and the two countries are fighting, should give each other a pension. The Wei army entered the country and was cruel and abused, and the business accidents were unexpected. The officials did not let the people down, so why would the people complain about others?" Li Xiaobo said: "If the Wei Lord did not surround Pengcheng and crossed the river directly, he would just quench his thirst." Zhang Chang said: "The matter of staying or leaving is your own plan. But I think the way of heaven will not allow the captive horses to drink the Yangtze River."

Both of them were "famous scholars" at that time, and they presented gifts to each other on behalf of their respective monarchs. Although they were in an extremely cruel war environment, they were still gentle and polite in the negotiations. The negotiations themselves did not have any substantial results, but the etiquette and words of both sides have always been praised as a good story on the battlefield by later generations.

The Seventh Prince read this history as if he was familiar with it. He really didn't expect Xiao Yun would use such a simple and foolish reason to convince him. He snorted coldly: "Mr. Xiao is right, but he uses "Both countries are fighting and not killing to make a living." This reason to convince me. Lord Xiao is too despised by these three rebels, right?" When he said this, the Seventh Prince's eyes showed a slight murderous intent, and then said: "When I am the Great Yuan and I will not have the saying of the two countries? The rebel Zhang Shicheng is just a hero, how can I compare with my Great Yuan? Even if I kill them, the people in the world will not say that I am not. I think Lord Xiao, your reason is too far-fetched, right?"

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and said to himself: "Grandpa, I forgot that it is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Yuan Dynasty is still a big country. Zhang Shicheng really can't come up with that little place! You can't force others to admit that the Great Zhou is an independent country, right?" Fortunately, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind and said: "It seems that we have to start from a moral point of view?" He smiled slightly and said: "Your words are wrong?"

"Oh, is that?" The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yun.

Everyone just understood the story Xiao Yun had just told. It turned out that there was this reason. Many generals said in their hearts: "Damn, the literati have many colorful intestines. Has this story found a reason to release people?"

Xiao Yun was not afraid at this moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Shicheng is just a thief. Now he has pulled Zhang Husie into a big banner and is called king and emperor. He said that fighting with my Yuan court in this way is like an egg hitting a stone, overestimating one's own ability!"

Xiao Yun said that the egg hit the stone, overestimating his ability! "When the little princess sitting next to the Seventh Prince lit his eyes and pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Xiao is really funny. I'm afraid that only he can say such appropriate words!" His eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Yun's face.
