Empty hate, dilemma

In the spring of the 34th year of Chu, the peace talks in the northern border have been going on. Since the arrival of the envoys from both sides, the two sides have conducted many peace talks, but the conditions of the peace talks have never been reached.

It was not that Chu was dissatisfied with the terms of the peace talks, but that the enemy was dissatisfied with the terms of the peace talks. If it were not for various reasons, the envoys of Chu would have wished to go to war directly. I can bear it again and again! ! ! ! ! !

Qu Guolao and You Yin endured it no matter how hard they tried, and they almost vomited blood due to the absurd conditions of the other party. !

The national power of the Chu State is much stronger than that of several small countries. Even if there is a real fight, the few small countries have no possibility of victory. The reason for the small countries is that these small countries happen to be between Chu and the big countries in the north, and keeping a few small countries can serve as a good warning.

Therefore, as long as there is no major conflict between the two sides, Chu State does not intend to destroy these small countries. These small neighboring countries have always lived with Chu State in peace and awe.At most, they would only disturb the border town from time to time, just hoping to get some food and grass for the winter. This year's situation has never happened in the past...

This year not only formally declared war, but also threatened peace talks with Chu State by forming an alliance. Even if you want to profit from it, you should put some reasonable conditions. Is it because the monarchs of these small countries eat too much, or are they stable? I have fattened my courage in the past year, and now I dare to propose land cession and compensation, such absurd terms for peace talks.

At the first joint meeting, the envoys of the Chu State were so angry that they threw the table and left. Of course, the last few small countries may finally realize that they have gone too far, and send people to ask for peace again.

Just ask for peace, but you say, why doesn't this person have any self-knowledge? ?

The second peace talks did not cede land, but Chu State was required to compensate several countries for the military rations used for the nearly three-month siege.

I hated that Qu Guolao, who was on the emissary for the peace talks, almost pulled it away. He couldn't bear it anymore, and finally put the Qu Guolao, who is known as a model of a slender gentleman, with his brows raised upright, and he directly put his sleeves on the table. Pointing at the envoys of several countries, he yelled invisibly, "Can you show some face, the city is for you to encircle, and you have not fought yet, and you want Chu to pay you for military rations, are you out of your mind? ???"

Even Cheng Yi, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't hold it back, and slapped the table, covered his belly and snickered...

Those envoys from neighboring countries are really as shameless as a city wall, and they can calmly and righteously say, "We can't do anything about it, but the military rations consumed in the past three months are not as good as ours. A small country can bear it, and Chu is a big country, so show some demeanor of a big country. Compensating for some food is not a big deal for Chu, and everyone is happy when the two sides compare each other and get what they need, isn’t it???? "

The more Cheng Yi listened to it, the more he wanted to laugh. He really didn't expect that this peace talk would be like buying vegetables in a vegetable market. ! ! !It's really rare to see...

Cheng Yi smiled and joked with King Jing, "My lord, this peace talk is really interesting, and the envoy of the neighboring country is really thick-skinned. He dares to cede land for compensation and ask Chu to pay for military rations." Take it out and say it. My lord, do you think the monarchs of those countries are stupid, sending such an envoy here, and the condition is that they can say what they can, and dare to say what they want! !! He really thinks this is grocery shopping????”

Cheng Yi, "My lord, this peace talk is really interesting, hehehe..."

King Jing cast a glance at him, but didn't return him.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "My lord, you said that the monarchs of these neighboring countries are not idle, so they can't send some reliable envoys."

King Jing: "What's unreliable???"

Cheng Yi was still giggling, and couldn't stop, "Is it just peace talks? But isn't the condition mentioned too shameless? It made me blush for them. In my opinion, these people's Peeling off the skin can block arrows, hehehe... High, it really is high, hehehe..."

King Jing, "What do you want to be shameless, as long as you can get more compensation, they can do it even if you don't want to be shameless"

Cheng Yi: "I thought the peace talks were very serious matters. Fortunately, the envoys from both sides have pushed each other and started cursing each other. Those who don't know think this is in the market?? Hehehe..."

Cheng Yi slowed down and said, "These people don't look like envoys of a country when they speak out, they are simply hooligans, hahaha..."

King Jing cast a glance at him, "Okay, don't laugh, you find someone to find out the other party's background, how long do you plan to talk about???? Also, find out the situation in the other party's barracks??"

"Yes." Cheng Yi coughed twice and hurriedly stopped laughing, and went to work

Jing Wang thought deeply, it is indeed a bit weird. Normally, if the two sides did not go to war, then there is no issue of compensation, not to mention that only the defeated party will agree to compensation.

Since the two sides did not go to war, it is even more impossible for Chu to be the defeated party. Even if these small neighboring countries wanted to take advantage, they shouldn't have proposed such unreasonable conditions for peace talks? ? ? ?

No matter what, the state of Chu would never agree to this kind of condition, so why did they mention it when they knew they would not agree? ? ? ?

Is it true that Cheng Yi said that he has nothing to do and said casually that the two countries have joint talks, and such an important matter can be casually started again? ? ? ?What happened to the monarchs of these countries? ? ?

When things go wrong, there must be a demon, but for a while, people can't figure it out.

Although the conditions of the peace talks of several neighboring countries have been changed again and again, they still want compensation from the Chu State, but they still want compensation from the Chu State. After repeated negotiations, those monarchs should also understand that it is impossible for the Chu State to agree to compensation. , but still mention it again and again, these monarchs don't seem to be anxious about the deadline for the peace talks? ? ? ?

These countries first requested peace talks with Chu in the name of an alliance, so they should have thought about the conditions for peace talks in advance. How could they repeatedly propose such unreasonable peace talks? ? ?

Also, it has been more than three months since the siege of the city. If things go on like this, how can these small neighboring countries continue to support the needs of the siege? ? ? ? ?

According to the past, it has been more than three months so far, and it must have consumed a considerable amount of national power of these small countries. If the peace talks cannot be completed for a long time, the alliance of these countries may break down at any time, but Until now, the envoys of the other party's peace talks can still propose such conditions, which is quite unreasonable, or do these small countries have full confidence in this peace? ? ?

The more Jing Wang thought deeply, the more he frowned.

If it goes on like this, there will only be advantages and no disadvantages for Chu, but it will be the opposite for several neighboring countries. Even if one of the monarchs of several countries is stupid, it is impossible for all of them to be so stupid, right? ? ? ? ?Therefore, there must be an explosion, but it has not been found out yet. What are these people hiding? ? ?

In fact, the state of Chu is also experiencing frequent incidents. At this time, it has been more than two months since King Jing went out. According to the military report sent back urgently from the rear, it is said that the reason for the heavy snow in the north caused frequent accidents in the follow-up military rations. , the military rations delivered each time are less than one-third of the quantity...

It is said that the speed of the march was affected by the heavy snow, and it was very difficult to move because of the mountains and wild roads. In the end, there were many accidents for the army transporting grain. Many times, people and food fell directly to the edge of the mountain, so the follow-up food and grass were not replenished for a long time.

Jing Wang needs to live in the southwest all year round, and he is not familiar with the terrain and climate of the northern border, but there is no shortage of such talents in the Dingbei camp, so it only takes a little inquiring to know that this year's snow is not too much compared to previous years , So in the end is it caused by the heavy snow and the rough roads or other reasons? ? .

King Jing knew that the most taboo of marching was the unknown situation, so the follow-up would not continue.No matter how suspicious all of this is, it's best to hold back until it is found out, so as not to startle the snake...
