It had only been two days since Xiao Qi's message arrived in Jinling City, and then the news of the loss of Yongzhou City came.

Hearing the news, King Wei collapsed on his seat.

"Father, now the matter is very clear, if the truce is not signed, Xiao Ming will continue to conquer the city, and King Yan and King Zhao will only watch from the sidelines, after all, this time it is the father who does not agree to the conditions of the truce that will lead to the loss of Huaizhou."

Xiao Han's face was anxious, now in this situation, his father is still like a stone in the pit smelly and hard, if it goes on like this, the city of Wei will be Xiao Ming's, so what land will he inherit in this world in the future.

Therefore, after the fall of Huaizhou, he immediately united his loyal ministers to the palace to persuade him.

The eyes of the King of Wei on the throne were dull, and the defenders who participated in the last battle of Pengzhou escaped, and this time the defenders of Huaizhou were either killed or captured, and only a few people were able to escape.

The battle of Pengzhou was a fluke, and Tongzhou may also be a fluke, but now that Huaizhou has also been conquered, he finally realized the gap between the Wei army and the Qi army.

Without artillery and muskets, he simply couldn't defeat Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, the most important thing now is a truce, only by giving us time can we regroup our army, otherwise Wei Di will be destroyed."

Xiao Han looked distressed: "Father, the result of Xiao Qi's hard work this time is this truce, if you don't seize the opportunity, the other vassal kings will definitely not pay attention to us Wei Di anymore!" ”

King Wei's face was extremely ugly, he was originally ambitious, he was originally going to ascend to the supreme throne of Chang'an, but now he could only live humbly in the shadow of Xiao Ming.

"The messenger told Xiao Qi that the king had agreed to the conditions of the truce." King Wei finally said word by word.

Xiao Han and the other officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief, there are thirteen states in Weidi, what if they lose three? As long as they can keep their glory and wealth, they can talk about anything.

Soon, a man and a horse went to Qingzhou with a message from the king of Wei.

Five days later, the envoys of the five parties did it again.

Compared with ten days ago, Zhan Xingchang at this time became more and more energetic, and Huaizhou was conquered, so that the officials of the feudal country were in a frenzy.

It is the duty of the people to expand their territory, and now they are happy to see that the land of the feudal country is increasing day by day.

"Xiao Qi, I said that day that I asked you to sign, didn't you ask for it? Now this has lost Huaizhou again. Cui Zhang sneered.

During Xiao Wenxuan's reign, King Wei's fiefdom area was the largest, and the city and population were also the largest.

It is precisely for this reason that other vassal kings with different surnames will be a little jealous of him, but now even if he loses three cities, it is not to the point of breaking his muscles and bones for Wei Di.

Wang Xi is expression was a little complicated, King Qi's army had another city in such a short period of time, which shocked him very much, thinking that now King Zhao and King Shu were fighting for more than a month, and still no results were achieved, he became more and more jealous of Xiao Ming.

It's just that this time he came to Qingzhou just to take advantage of the harmony and mud, and now King Zhao has no power to attack Xiao Ming with others, so even though he knows that Xiao Ming is in the next city, he is helpless, if he talks too much, he is afraid that Xiao Ming will be forced to provide a large number of firearms to the King of Shu.

Just when the five of them were chatting without a word, Xiao Ming walked in at this time.

Lu Fei has already transmitted the battle report to Qingzhou, and this time Lu Fei easily took Huaizhou, which gave Xiao Ming another layer of understanding of the combat effectiveness of the current feudal army.

In the past, he thought that he was overestimating the army of these vassal kings, but now that Lu Fei proved the combat power of the vassal king's army with facts, he suddenly realized.

As Pang Yukun said, today's Dayu Kingdom is the world's erosion, and this erosion is not only the royal family, but also the land annexation has reached its peak in the feudal kingdoms of the vassal kings.

The Gate Lords clan was originally a big tail, and now they have also looted the wealth of the world, among which the battle report sent back by Ye Qingyun illustrates this problem even more.

When they attacked Tongzhou City, the indifference of the people was surprising.

So after analyzing this problem, Xiao Ming realized that maybe he could be bolder, after all, although there are many vassal kings, he is the only one who has fundamentally changed.

"Your Highness."

When Xiao Ming arrived, everyone stood up to greet them.

At this time, Xiao Qi took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, the King of Wei is willing to agree to the truce contract, and I hope it can be signed as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, we have also lived in Qingzhou for some time, and we should go back even if we count the days, and I hope Your Highness will make a decision as soon as possible."

Xiao Ming didn't speak, but suddenly spread a map on the table.

The others looked at it one after another and found that this was a map of Wei Land, on which the current cities of Wei Land and the cities that had been captured were marked.

When Xiao Qi saw this map, his face changed greatly, because in addition to the cities that had been captured, a circle was drawn on the location of Yangzhou.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Qi was shocked and angry, he had already guessed a few points.

"It's very simple, in addition to Pengzhou, Tongzhou, Huaizhou The three cities belong to the king, and then cede Yangzhou, pay an indemnity of five million silver, meet this condition, and the king will stamp the seal on this truce." Xiao Minglang said.

Xiao Qi's face suddenly turned red, "Your Highness, you are too deceitful. ”

"It's the King of Wei who deceives people too much, this truce has already given him face, but he refuses to accept it, so this king can't be blamed." Xiao Ming's tone was a little tough.

Zheng Hao looked at Xiao Qi at this time, and then looked at Xiao Ming, "His Royal Highness King Qi, this is really a bit too much, since His Highness has taken Huaizhou, this Huaizhou has been given to His Highness, but how can this Yangzhou be ceded?" ”

"There are a lot of grievances between this king and the king of Wei, but it is not clear in a few words, and now this is the condition of a truce, otherwise this king can only go and take it himself."

Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao glanced at each other, and then Zheng Hao said: "Since His Highness is so aggressive, I can't say that we Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Liang have to deal with His Highness." ”

Negotiation is originally a quarrel, relying on mouth on the table and strength on the table.

At the same time, intimidating each other is also a way to negotiate, and now Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao obviously want to use this trick as well.

"Don't pull up the Yan land, the thirteen states under the command of the King of Wei, it is reasonable to give the four states as compensation, and the Wei land is rich, these five million taels are also trivial." Cui Zhang waved his hand again and again.

Wang Xi also smiled under the forced gaze of Xiao Ming's eyes, "Your Highness, I didn't say anything. ”

Xiao Qi and Zheng Hao's faces were suddenly a little embarrassed, this time the merger was a complete failure.

"So the King of Wei and the King of Liang are ready to go to war with this king?" Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Then this king can only take it!" ”
